“In Islamic belief, knowledge is two-fold. There is that revealed through the Holy Prophet (s.a.s.) and that which man discovers by virtue of his own intellect. Nor do these two involve any contradiction, provided man remembers that his own mind is itself the creation of God. Without this humility, no balance is possible. With it, there are no barriers. Indeed, one strength of Islam has always lain in its belief that creation is not static but continuous, that through scientific and other endeavours, God has opened and continues to open new windows for us to see the marvels of His creation” MenMindTwoRememberBeliefVirtueCreationHumilityBalanceHolyWindowIslamIntellectProphetIslamicContradictionBarriersFoldsStaticEndeavourHoly Prophet Author:Aga Khan IV
“The Bible represents a fundamental guidepost for millions of people on the planet, in much the same way the Koran, Torah, and Pali Canon offer guidance to people of other religions. If you and I could dig up documentation that contradicted the holy stories of Islamic belief, Judaic belief, Buddhist belief, pagan belief, should we do that? Should we wave a flag and tell the Buddhists that the Buddha did not come from a lotus blossom? Or that Jesus was not born of a literal virgin birth? Those who truly understand their faiths understand the stories are metaphorical.” PeopleIfsWayShouldStoriesJesusBeliefBornMillionsPlanetsBirthHolyOffersFundamentalsWaveBuddhistGuidanceIslamicFlagsVirginsLiteralPaganMetaphoricalCanonLotusesDocumentationTorahVirgin Birth Author:Dan Brown
“Many people are quick to say that we are not recognized by Muslims in the East . And I start with the Honorable Elijah Mohammed.

“Change, development and progress, according to the Islamic viewpoint, refer to the return to the genuine Islam enunciated and practised by the Holy Prophet (may God bless and give him Peace!) and his noble Companions and their Followers (blessing and peace be upon them all!) and the faith and practice of genuine Muslims after them; and they also refer to the self and mean its return to its original nature and religion (Islam).” GivingMayMeanSelfPracticeProgressDevelopmentReturnHolyBlessingOriginalsIslamNobleGenuineProphetIslamicCompanionBlessFollowersViewpointsGod BlessHoly Prophet Author:Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas
“"Both Christianity and Islam are logocentric," he told his students, "meaning they are focused on the Word. In Christian tradition, the Word became flesh in the book of John: 'And the Word was made flesh, and He dwelt among us. 'Therefore, it was acceptable to depict the Word as having a human form. In Islamic tradition, however, the Word did not become flesh, and therefore the Word needs to remain in the form of a word … in most cases, calligraphic renderings of the names of the holy figures of Islam."” NeedsHumansMadeBookChristianFormNamesChristianityCasesFiguresStudentsHolyTraditionIslamFocusedFleshIslamicAcceptableRenderingHuman FormChristianity And Islam Author:Dan Brown
“Arabia was idolatrous when, six centuries after Jesus, Muhammad introduced the worship of the God of Abraham, of Ishmael, of Moses, and Jesus. The Ariyans and some other sects had disturbed the tranquility of the east by agitating the question of the nature of the Father, the son, and the Holy Ghost. Muhammad declared that there was none but one God who had no father, no son and that the trinity imported the idea of idolatry.” IdeasFatherJesusCenturySonHolySixWorshipIslamEastGhostIslamicTranquilityMosesDisturbedMuhammadAbrahamHoly GhostIdolatryArabiaSectsTrinityIshmael Author:Napoleon Bonaparte
