| The Islamic Notion of Mercy
|
|
Acquaintances of mine who have participated in recent dialogues between
Christian and Muslim theologians, such as those organized by A Common Word,
report that one of the biggest misunderstandings shown by Christian theologians
is the notion that Islam has little or nothing to say about love.
One of the several reasons for this mistaken view is that the early Orientalists
-- those who first studied Islamic thought in the modern West -- imagined that a
school of thought known as "Kalam" played the same role in Islam as
"theology" does in Christianity. In fact, Kalam has been one of
several approaches to knowledge of God, and certainly not the most influential.

11 reasons to explore Islam
|
|
Within Islam it is both legitimate and right to ask the question: "Why
Islam?" Every tenet in Islam is subject to analysis and contention. No
other religion is willing to subject its basic fundamentals of faith to such
questioning. For example, Saint Thomas Aquinas, the most rational of Christian
theologians, stopped the use of reason when it came to the basic fundamentals of
Christian faith. He then tried to justify faith. So to ask "why
Christianity?" is an illegitimate question. However, Allah invites the
question as to "why Islam?".
1. Rational System
Islam is also a rational system which not only allows questions but raises
knowledge to a new level of dignity and respect. No other religion has exalted
knowledge and its pursuit, as has Islam. In fact, for the first time in human
history, a religious book invited people to question the creation of the
universe and stated that in it (the universe) were signs for people of
knowledge. Everything in Islam is subject to rational pursuit. ...
2. Easily Understandable
Islam does not present stumbling blocks to the mind. It does not make claims
which overwhelm the mind. Islam does not present to a person that which the
human intellect cannot grasp. Anyone can understand Islam as it is a universal
religion. However, for example, Hinduism legitimizes idolatry for the less
educated, as it says, not all people can understand the higher religion of the
Brahmans.
