Sacrificing in the name of anyone is worship. And Islam limits this to only Allah; not anyone else, not even Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him." -- Both Christianity and Judaism would agree with this statement (exception: Some Catholics pray to saints, but this is not universally accepted), if 'Islam' were replaced with 'Christianity' and 'Judaism' respectively, and if 'Prophet Muhammad' was replaced with the name of any other prophet the respective religion recognizes. | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 19:17 | comment | added | ashes999 | I would challenge your assumption that it's not the only religion that says God alone should be worshipped. Considering the Islamic definition of worship, nobody else does what we do. All | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 19:03 | comment | added | Flimzy | Thanks for the answer. This clearly distinguishes Islam from new-age type religions, or polytheist religions. But Islam isn't the only religion that identifies a single God, and says no one/nothing else should be worshiped. Is there a fundamental difference about Islam on this level, or is Islam simply the most complete/least corrupt in this area? | |
