The ruling on the statement that the origin of all religions is one and that their adherents meet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I found this phrase in one of the messages. It says: The origin of the divine religions is one, and the Muslim believes in all the messengers and does not differentiate between any of them, and that denying the message of any one of them is a departure from Islam. This establishes a broad basis for meeting with believers in other religions on common grounds in service to human society, without affecting doctrinal distinctiveness and intellectual independence.
Answer:
This is a statement of misguidance, and I seek refuge in Allah from it. Yes, we believe in all the messengers and all the books, but they do not believe in all the messengers. They disbelieve in 'Isa and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)—the Jews disbelieve in 'Isa and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Christians disbelieve in the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and do not believe in the Qur'an. So how can we say that they are believers when they disbelieve in some of the messengers and disbelieve in some of the books? These are not believers. They are not among the believers. This is a mixing and a misleading of the people, and it must be refuted. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
