  1. Hey, I have something questions:

    In Islam, are WE Muslims supposed to believe that Abraham was "A Leader to ALL Nations?, or

    do Muslims believe that Ibraheem Upon him be peace was the leader to the Muslims and as ALLah SWT in the Quran says that Ibraheem named YOU Muslims before?
    and Ibraheem UHBP, asked ALLAH, NOT JESUS, OR YAWEYH, OR UZAIR,OR THE WIND OR THE SUN, OR ANY CREATION, RATHER HE ASKED ALLAH THE ONE TRUE LORD, THE CREATOR, THE SUSTAINER, THE ONE WHO IS IS ALIVE AND NEVER DIES, THE ONE WHO NEVER SLEEPS,
    [2:128] "Our Lord, make us Muslims [i.e. submitters] to You, and from our descendants let there be a community of Muslims [i.e. submitters] to You."
    In Islam are WE Muslims supposed to support interfaith?
    Are WE Muslims supposed to agree with the false beliefs of the Jews and the Christians that they will enter paradise with the Muslim pious and righteous predecessors?

    OR, IS THIS WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE?

    Allah said,

    [إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الإِسْلَـمُ]

    (Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam.) Allah states that there is no religion accepted with Him from any person, except Islam. Islam includes obeying all of the Messengers until Muhammad who finalized their commission, thus closing all paths to Allah except through Muhammad . Therefore, after Allah sent Muhammad , whoever meets Allah following a path other than Muhammad's, it will not be accepted of him. In another Ayah, Allah said,

    [وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلَـمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ]

    (And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him) [3:85].

    Are we just forsaking our religion just to be allies with our " brothers" from other faiths?

    Please, if you are indeed a Muslim coalition, then make sure you are taking the CORRECT MUSLIM stances on these issues, AND DO NOT THINK YOU ARE TRICKING ANYONE, YOU CAN HIDE FROM THE PEOPLE, BUT YOU CANT HIDE FROM ALLAH.

    THANK YOU,
