Christians believe in the concept of "original sin," which is a very wrong concept.

Christians believe in the concept of the “original sin.” This

is the belief that the sin that Adam, the first man, committed is

passed on through all of his progeny. Hence, it is on the neck of every

individual, even the newborn baby. The only way it could be

removed—they claim—is by God sending His son as a sacrifice to

remove this sin. This belief, especially the last part of it, is obviously

completely inconsistent with Islamic monotheism. God does not have

a son. He has no equals or anyone who is in any fashion similar to or

“related” to Him.

The Islamic belief is that Adam and Eve together did

commit a sin, by allowing themselves to be deceived by Satan.

However, they both repented to God and God accepted their

repentance. That was the end of their sin. There was no means for

that sin to be passed on to others. Furthermore, it would be the height

of injustice on the part of Allah to hold innocent individuals

responsible for the sins of others .

Therefore, the concept of the original sin seems clearly false

and is also potentially harmful. It gives a very wrong impression

about God and His justice. It also taints the human with the belief

that his soul is inherently evil.

It is not by “mere chance” that all of the above other

perspectives seem clearly false and potentially h armful. Just like

humans are not here by “mere chance,” there is only one belief

system about humankind that is true, consistent with the cosmos,

logical and beneficial. It is, this author contends, the view based on

the teachings from God as found in the religion of Islam and

explained throughout these pages .

A piece of advice and an invitation from a well-wisher for you .

I invite you, my dear brother, to Islam and to believe in God Almighty. He alone is worthy of worship. The purpose of our creation is to worship God alone, without any partners.
