Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem ASALATU WASALAMU ALAYKA YA RASULLALLAH Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Muslims are sometimes accused of telling others (non-Muslims) to study Islam and at the same time not studying other religions themselves. This poll is to get an idea of how much the forum members know about religions different from Islam.
Should we study other religions in the first place, knowing that Islam is the only truth? Is acquiring knowlegde about other religions a waste of time or a way to get closer to doing da'wah? How much energy should we spend in knowing other religions? When do you know enough about them?
Please vote.
Wassalamu 'alaykum

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
i know the basics of other religions like origin and festivals and so on.
actually sometimes i know more about other religions than the person who practice's it!!!
i think you need to have a basic understanding about other's religions as Muhammed Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam has taught us to respect other's beliefs also. you can't do that if you don't know anything about their religion.
but first and foremost you should know about your own religion also as that's the main thing and which your life revolves around. i don't believe in the word non-practising/practising muslim everyone should do atleast the basic's of islam otherwise what's the point of calling yourself a muslim?
Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

people should get to know islam in depth before they start studying other religions.
Infact other religions should always be studied from a critical muslim point of view i.e. with islamic rebuttals(refutations) in front so as to eliminate doubts which may arise.

I agree this very important otherwise this also defeats the purpose?

ASALATU WASALAMU ALAYKA YA RASULLALLAH Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam A good poll. I voted for I know the basics through school and working in a multicultural school that celebrated most religions and festival's through assemblies, so got to learn a bit through that. I agree we need to learn and study our own faith in depth and practice it fully before we go studying in detail other religions. Should we study other religions in the first place, knowing Islam is the One True religion? A good question, concerning religions like Hinduism we know its idol worship so no.

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Whose interested in other faiths, theyre all false and doomed. Why would one want to know about the confusing trinity, christains who consider Jesus as the Father, and as the son and as the Holy Ghost? No i cant and dont want to explain.
why would you want to know about hindus who worship statues, elephants with 26 trunks, women with 46 arms, who drink and worship cowpiss. Err no thanks.
as for the 4b2's, the less said about them the better.

Because I thought there were verses in the Quran confirming the big bang theory: "Did the infidels not consider that the heavens and earth were closed up, then We opened them out? And We made every made living thing from water. Will they then believe?" [surah 21, verse 30] And We have made the heaven with hands, and undoubtedly We are Makers of the vast extent. [surah 51, verse 47] Please note that the big bang theory something very different from the evolution theory. Wassalamu 'alaykum

Have you noticed that everyone, i mean non-muslims and the nazis like the BNP have become expert at Islam. If only they learnt about their own religion and practised it before attacking ours.
