Almighty God is Compassionate, Loving and Merciful. The essence of falsehood is the claim that God cannot deal with and forgive His creatures directly. By over-emphasizing the burden of sin, as well as claiming that God cannot forgive you directly, false religions seek to get people to despair of the Mercy of God. Once they are convinced that they cannot approach God directly, people can be mislead into turning to false gods for help. These ';false gods'; can take various forms, such as saints, angels, or someone who is believed to be the ';Son of God'; or ';God Incarnate';.
The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values
However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.
The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the ';Torah'; which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.
This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.
There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.
These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect
It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.
Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.
The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.
As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: ';If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good'; (3:86).
The Final Prophet Muhammad said: ';Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven.';
you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is
I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.
The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.
I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Your brother in humanityWhat is mean by true religion?
That depends on who's saying it... Although Christianity is the only true (as in not false) religion.
In response to Gerry: No, not all religions are true. The difference between Christianity and Islam, for instance, is that for centuries people have tried to disprove Christianity- but no one has. Islam, on the other hand, is full of contradictions- it's so pathetic in fact, that every Muslim I have debated has walked away yelling out insults, or walked away and refused to speak to me.
Before you give me thumbs down- I have the proof. E-mail me and I'll show you.What is mean by true religion?
blahhh
Scripture says,
';And this is [true] religion, pure and undefiled, to visit the fatherless and the widow, and to attend to all the needy, etc etc.';
[I cannot recall ALL the words now, but you will find it in the Concordance of the Holy Bible.]
Your religion is the only true religion, all others are false, more or less....
Religion is believing in make belief gods and awkward ';holy rules';.
Atheism is facing reality and believing in commonsense rules of goodness and kindness and compassion for your fellow humans.
Different people have different religions and they believe theirs is the true one. We really don't know which is the true religion. But I believe God is happy that each in their own way, love Him.
The one and only religion that speaks the only truth, we have over 3,000 different religions and cults and everyone of them will tell you it's the only truth, but all teach a different doctrine.
The doctrine and the faithful application of it, found in the 66 books of the Bible is the only true religion. Churches on the other hand need to seek out this true religion and make it their own. Contrary to what some people teach, Churches are more and less pure, and even the purest church on earth is mixed with some error.
Any religion which does not condemn other faith's followers to hell
A religion which accepts and respects other faiths
Isn't that a clothing brand or somthing...
Rainmaker, in the actual sense of the word ';true';, there is no ';true religion'; and that does include the Christian religion as well.
The concept of religion is simply to bring people together in a society with a common belief that will bind them together as a society so that they may live in some sort of peaceful manner without conflict.
Even primitive apes, whom were a territorial creature, found that by expanding their community they could put more food on more tables. Nonetheless, even for apes to get along together, rules (doctrines) were needed.
All religions, whether a cult or not, have an objective to create a society of its own doctrines. As Christians, we search to find the good and the bad of doctrines of religion based on the concept of a closed society that gets along together and view this with the unwritten scripture, ';The Golden Rule'; which simply translates as ';Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'; An entire religion can be made of that one single saying. The Universal Life Church is one that has, actually, here in the USA.
The truths and falseness found in all religions are not entirely truth and false. The cultural evolution of man thru knowledge has forced modern interpretations of ancient cultures whom had little education, a great deal of ignorance for knowledge, were often quite superstitious and certainly had not the tools for education and research as modern man. This is where the confusion is of religion and not of the word of the ancients.
If you want to know where the closest to a ';true religion'; you can be, Rainmaker, you will find it within your own heart...do unto others what you would have them do unto you...!
A COMMENT TO ';BE HAPPY'; answer here...
BeHappy...
With due respect to the Islamic faiths and your own knowledge extended, I agree, your doctrines have not had word change. But, I feel also you should make known that your precious prophet Mohammad had also been raping a 12 year old girl. I feel also you should make known that Muslims...terrorists...are mis-interpreting their scriptures to kill innocents of all worlds in the name of their Allah, even of their own family. I feel also that you yourself should know that the Muslim Clerics of Saudi Arabia are now in process to re-write your ancient scriptures simply because they are primitive and cannot comply to the basics of a modern society. Regardless of what religion we have, evolution creates need for change and religion is not exempt from that.
In faith of knowing your Creator is mine also...sobeit...shalom...!
When it says what, exactly?
Isn't that one of those oxymorons??
If I belong to a religion and don't think it is ';true';, that would be pretty dumb, don't ya think?
What do you mean by that phrase?
Any religion no matter which one can be a true religion in the sense that it is a real religion.
That is what your question asks? Right!
The problem with religions and gods -- is this: which one is the truth?
Here according to many religious philosophies, a person's life depends on having the truth!
About the Christian number of different groups, see this page for a Biblical definition:

religions are bull ****
True religion is where science and faith meet.
its an oxymoron
o_O
religion that has relevant acceptance
What looks true or sense to me..... is the religion that understand and give me my need as human being and does not expect or demand of almost impossible ascetic moral or other ideals. A religion that give me freedom to think and work thing out for myself. I’m alone responsible for my own choices in this life and next. I still find Islam make more sense to me when I compare it with other beliefs. In the same time, I do still facing some difficult time due to some aspects However, I’m still investigating and looking for answers.
All religions, which came from Allah, are true, and all of their prophets are Muslims.
All prophets said that their religions are true, but when the last prophet would come, they must follow him, and other religions would not be true any more.
By the way, the last prophet is Mohammad, and his religion is the Islam. So, don't lose your life, and follow.
control, hate %26amp; rule ppl
True religion involves dogma, clerics and institutions hence true religionists are the most misguided of all believers.
False religion because no religion is true. We are the truth, us! Discern. 49/7
