In Islam, when someone from another faith takes the Shahada, it is best to say he or she reverted to Islam because every child is born a Muslim and that it is the parents that make him a believer or disbeliever. However, in Christianity, someone who proclaims Christianity is perceived as a convert. “Revert” emphasizes returning to your original state of submission to Allah, while “convert” centers around embracing Islam from a different belief or background." Allah is Imperceivable: No eye in the whole universe, not even the combined eyesights of everyone, can encompass His Being. Believing some angels may have seen or may be seeing Allaah, including those holding His Throne that is the Arsh, is unacceptable, because, impercibility here applies to all of Allaah’s creation. Even imagining how He looks like is a major sin.
In Islam, every human being is born a Muslim and that it is
the parents who change the newly born’s religion. “Abu Huraira reported
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
as saying:The mother of every person gives him birth according to his true
nature. It is subsequently his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a
Magian. Had his parents been Muslim he would have also remained a Muslim. Every
person to whom his mother gives birth (has two aspects of his life) ; when his
mother gives birth Satan strikes him but it was not the case with Mary and her
son (Jesus Christ).”[i]
At first Allaah created all souls at the same time,
meaning all souls including that of Adam and Eve or Hawwa were created at the
same time. Please note that the soul and the body are two different things.
Later, Allaah created Adam who is the father of humankind. Even the souls of
those who will continue to be born before the Last Day when the trumpet will be
blown were created one time. The Last Day pertains to the day when every type
or kind of creation will come to an end after the trumpet is blown. All
creation will perish, including the heavens and the earth, the stars and the
moon and everything else including the angels. When Allaah wants to create, He
simply says كُن فَيَكُونُ which means “be and it will
be” when translated into Arabic. Below, we’ll display a few verses where Allaah
used for certain explanations.
بَدِيعُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ
ۖ وَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًۭا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ١١٧
“He is the One Who has originated the heavens and
the earth, and when He wills to (originate) a thing, He only says to it: 'Be',
and it becomes (Chapter 2, verse 117).”
قَالَتْ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ
لِى وَلَدٌۭ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِى بَشَرٌۭ ۖ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ ٱللَّهُ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ
ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًۭا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٤٧
“Mary submitted: 'O my Lord, how shall I have a son when no man has ever
touched me?' He said: 'Just as Allah creates what He pleases.' When He decides
(to do) some work, He just gives it the command 'Be', and it becomes (Chapter
3, verse 47).”
إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِندَ
ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ ءَادَمَ ۖ خَلَقَهُۥ مِن تُرَابٍۢ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ
٥٩
“Surely, the example of ‘Isa (Jesus) in the sight of Allah is the same as that of Adam
whom He formed from clay, then said (to him): 'Be'. And he became (Chapter 3,
verse 59).”
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ كُن فَيَكُونُ ۚ قَوْلُهُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۚ وَلَهُ
ٱلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ ۚ عَـٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ ۚ وَهُوَ
ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ ٧٣
“And He is the One (Allah) Who has created the
heavens and the earth (in accordance with His decreed celestial order based) on
truth. And the Day when He will say: 'Be', then that (Day of Judgment) will
come into being. His Word is the truth. And His will be the sovereignty on the
Day when the Trumpet will be blown. He (is the One Who) has the knowledge of
the unseen and the seen, and He is All-Wise, All-Aware (6: 73).”
إِنَّمَا قَوْلُنَا لِشَىْءٍ
إِذَآ أَرَدْنَـٰهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ٤٠
“Our command for a thing is but only this much
that when We intend (to bring) it (into existence), We say to it: 'Be', and it
becomes (Chapter 16, verse 40).”
مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ
مِن وَلَدٍۢ ۖ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥٓ ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًۭا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن
فَيَكُونُ ٣٥
“It is not Allah's Glory that He should take (to Himself anyone as) a son. Holy and Glorified is He (above this)! When He decrees any matter, He only says to it: 'Be', and it becomes (19:35).” Prophet Musa or Moses requested Allaah to allow him to see Him in person or reveal Himself to him, but it did not materialize because of Allaah’s impercebtibility. Seeing Allah, may He be exalted, in this world is not possible for anyone, whether he is a believer or a disbeliever.
However, in Christianity, there are 50 facts that Jesus is god. Far from the truth, because, in Islam, Jesus was a prophet who was conceived by his mother Mary.
Muslim (169) narrated in his Sahih that
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said on the day when he
warned the people about the Dajjal: “… You should know that no one among you
will ever see his Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, until he dies.”
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ مُوسَىٰ لِمِيقَـٰتِنَا
وَكَلَّمَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِىٓ أَنظُرْ إِلَيْكَ ۚ قَالَ لَن تَرَىٰنِى
وَلَـٰكِنِ ٱنظُرْ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ فَإِنِ ٱسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُۥ فَسَوْفَ تَرَىٰنِى
ۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّىٰ رَبُّهُۥ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُۥ دَكًّۭا وَخَرَّ مُوسَىٰ صَعِقًۭا
ۚ فَلَمَّآ أَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
١٤٣
“When Moses came at the appointed time and his
Lord spoke to him, he asked, “My Lord! Reveal Yourself to me so I may see You.”
Allah answered, “You cannot see Me! But look at the mountain. If it remains
firm in its place, only then will you see Me.” When his Lord appeared to the
mountain, He levelled it to dust and Moses collapsed unconscious. When he
recovered, he cried, “Glory be to You! I turn to You in repentance and I am the
first of the believers (Al-A’raf, 17:143).”
Shaykh
al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
“It is
proven by the text of the Quran that it was said to Musa: {You will not see
Me}, and that seeing Allah is greater than the sending down of a Book from
heaven, as Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): {The
People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven.
But they had asked of Moses [even] greater than that and said, “Show us Allah
outright.”} [an-Nisa 4:153] So the one who says that any of the people saw Him
is claiming that that person is greater than Musa ibn ‘Imran, and his claim is
more serious than the claim of one who claims that Allah sent down to him a book
from heaven.” (Majmu‘ al-Fatawa, 2/336)
