The Ruling on the Claim of the Unity of Religions and Mixing Islam with Human Systems
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. The questioner asks: What is the call for the unity of religions? And is it correct to say that Islam is a mixture of socialism and Christianity?
Answer:
Islam is the religion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic),[Ali 'Imran 3:19], [Ali 'Imran 3:85], and the religion of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is what He legislated for His servants, namely what He revealed to His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). This is Islam, and it is revelation from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), legislation from Allah, and it is not a mixture of human systems, whether communism or capitalism. Whoever says this is a disbeliever; this is an apostate from the religion of Islam. This means he is saying that Islam is not revelation from Allah nor legislation from Allah, but rather that it is taken from the systems of people, just as the polytheists said [Al-Furqan 25:5] and as the disbeliever said [Al-Muddaththir 74:25]. This is disbelief in Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes, and regarding the unity of religions, there is no unity of religions. There is only the religion of Islam; any religion other than it is either abrogated, such as the religion of Judaism and Christianity, or it is false or polytheism. There is no religion except one, and that is the religion of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) [Al-A'raf 7:158]. There is no religion except Islam, and there is no unity of religions as they claim. This is a false statement.
This means equating Islam with disbelief, meaning making disbelief and Islam one thing, and that they are equal, and that the person is free to do whatever he wishes. This is not faith in a religion, may Allah protect us. The claim of freedom of religions is disbelief. There is no freedom of religions; there is only Islam, which Allah sent to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)[Ali 'Imran 3:85].

Answer:
Islam is the religion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic),
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam
إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الْإِسْلَامُAnd whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him
وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُAnd they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."
وَقَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ اكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِيَ تُمْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًاThis is not but the word of a human being."
إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِSay, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death." So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.
قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَكَلِمَاتِهِ وَاتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَThis means equating Islam with disbelief, meaning making disbelief and Islam one thing, and that they are equal, and that the person is free to do whatever he wishes. This is not faith in a religion, may Allah protect us. The claim of freedom of religions is disbelief. There is no freedom of religions; there is only Islam, which Allah sent to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)
And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
