TRUE RELIGION and THE DIVINE BOOK
THE TRUE RELIGION AND THE DIVINE BOOK
 

The right (Haq), the opposite of wrong, is only the truth. Because Allah says:
“What is there after the truth but error?” (Yunus, 32)
The belief systems other than the True Religion, even though they are called religions, are perverted beliefs. The real and valid religion in the eyes of Allah is the True Religion.
The True Religion is the divine religion and its main source is the divine book.
My Dear Readers!
Religion is not a means of entertainment like sports. Religion is a necessity and the future of humans is dependent upon it.
Let us direct our mind projector to the divine book, the main source of the True Religion and examine the characteristics that are required of a divine book.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DIVINE BOOK
1- The divine book should not be contradictory to the attribute “divine”. It should only belong to Allah and not contain one single word belonging to anyone other than Allah.
2- The divine book should keep its original language as it was sent to the prophet and this book should be the main source of the religion.
3- The divine book should maintain its syntax, that is, the arrangement of words, as determined by Allah.
Sometimes the change of a word, a letter or even a comma might cause the opposite meaning to appear.
For example;
Read like your father, do not be foolish
Read; like your father do not be foolish.

THE DIVINE BOOK AND THE PROPHETS
The prophets are spiritual pioneers appointed by Allah who have the ability to understand, perform and teach the Divine Book in the direction of the divine will.
The words of the prophets other than those in the divine book are called Hadith.
Hadiths are generally explanations of the divine book. However, they should not be confused with the divine book, as their meanings and syntax are human and not divine.
After explaining the most fundamental characteristics of the divine books, let us examine the situations of the Qur'an and the New Testament, examine how they have reached us and understand which one has preserved the characteristics of a divine book. These two books are sources of two major religions, Islam and Christianity, both of both is in the spotlight in terms of civilizational and interfaith dialogue.
An important warning!
Since I, the writer of this book, am a Muslim, let me remind my dear readers who may prejudge me, supposing that I will praise the Qur'an and criticize the New Testament, that both two important principals of Islamic belief.
Muslims believe in all the prophets, without differentiating between them. We also believe in all the divine books without differentiating between them.

While some Christian fanatics insult Prophet Muhammad and the Qur'an, we mention Prophet Jesus with salutations and greetings and respect the original Bible in the same way that we respect the Qur'an.
