In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, seek His aid, and ask His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils in ourselves and from the bad consequences of our deeds. Whomever Allah guides, there is none who can lead them astray, and whomever Allah leads astray, there is none who can guide them. I testify that none is worthy of worship except Allah alone, without any partners, and I testify that Muhammad is His last Prophet and Messenger. As for what follows:

As-salaamu aleykum and welcome!

THE NEW RELIGION - IBRAHIMIYYAH : ISLAM + JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY : DELUSION

             

A New Religion is being encouraged in the world in the name of Peace, Humanity and Unity and it is called IBRAHIMIYYAH. Proposers of this new religion want to mix Islam + Christianity + Judaism into one Religion called IBRAHIMIYYAH. It is often assumed by Non-Muslims, that the God of Islam is a fierce war-like deity, in contrast to the God of Christianity and Judaism, who is one of love and mercy. And yet, despite the manifest differences in how they practise their religions, Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the same God.

The promoters are trying to bring a new religion called Ibramiyaah emphasizing on Peace, Humanity and Unity. They say, of all world religions, Islam is the fastest growing religion but it least understood. It is the best religion but has been depicted as a violent religion that is averse to Peace, Justice, Unity and Love. so, because Islam is good, they would love to mix it with Christianity and Judaism so that a new religion, called IBRAHIMIYYAH is born which will emphasize more on those issues. is also Yet, in spite of this, all believe that their religion contains the full and final revelation of the same God. Here is the origin of their unity. Here also lies the cause of their division.

The Abrahamic religions, also referred to collectively as the world of Abrahamism, are a group of religions that claim descent from the worship of the God of Abraham. However the Problem of this new religion is mixing different things in different ways. The promoters are trying to bring a new religion called Ibramiyaah emphasizing on Peace, Humanity and Unity. Because of what is happening in the world in terms of Injustices, World Wars, Terrorism, Wanton Killings - they say, there is need for collective work in Peace, Unity and Working for Humanity. 

But now this is being taken 180degrees.

What is the problem : The Belief itself.

The key to salvation in Islam is above all surrender (“islam” in Arabic) to God, obedience to his commands as revealed in the Quran and allegiance to his messenger Muhammad. Muslims, Christians and Jews do all worship the same complex God, However in different fashion. 

Islam talks on all these aspects(Justice, Peace, Humanity, Love and Unity) in varying degrees and why should they want to mix Islam with other religions. They are trying to mix Islam, Christianity and Judaism into one Religion called IBRAHIMIYYAH - 

But Islam is understood had came to fulfill all God's way. Islam has come to correct Christianity which is said their bible contains over 50,000 mistakes and errors. Judaism, who are 99.9% jews say they don't believe in both Jesus and Propeht Mohamed SAW.

ISLAM AND JUSTICE:
The Qur'an places great emphasis on knowledge, and the pursuit thereof, as valuable (49:9), but links the intellectual well-being of people to a profound awareness of God and justice, and emphasizes the compatibility of knowledge with faith (35:28, 05:89, 58:11)

In Various Verses, Main Verses the Holy Quran says:

'O ye who believe! Be ye staunch in justice, witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or (your) parents or (your) kindred, whether (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer unto both (them ye are). So follow not passion lest ye lapse (from truth) and if ye lapse or fall away, then lo! Allah is ever Informed of what ye do. Surah An-Nisa (4:135)

PEACE IN ISLAM:
The word Islam means peace and submission. Muslims greet each other by saying 'Salaam alaykum' meaning 'peace be upon you'. Like the majority of followers of other faiths, the majority of Muslims believe in seeking a just and peaceful world. The Qur'an teaches that Allah wants Muslims to control their aggression and approach others with peace.

Do not let your hatred of people incite you to aggression.

LOVE and UNITY IN ISLAM: 
Unity is key, but it involves effort from every individual, just how Allah (swt) mentions in the Qur’an,

“And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favour of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favour, brothers.” [3:103]

Unity teaches us to be selfless . In Various hadith, “None of you will have faith until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” [al-Bukhari]

Using the power of Unity can change lives. There is so much we can gain just by uniting in good. Our Prophet (saw) was a man of unity. He ensured that he spread love and kindness wherever he went, and just through these actions, he attracted millions of people to join the religion of Islam.

HUMANITY IN ISLAM:
What Quran says about Humanity:
"And serve Allah and do not associate any thing with Him and be good to the parents and to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the neighbor of (your) kin and the alien neighbor, and the companion in a journey and the wayfarer and those whom your right hands possess; surely Allah does not love him who is proud, boastful; [An-Nisa, 4:36]

"You are the best community that has been raised for mankind. You enjoin good and forbid evil and you believe in Allah. [Aal-e-Imran, 3:110]

"O mankind! Reverence your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single soul, created, of like nature, the mate, and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;- reverence Allah, through whom ye demand your mutual (rights), and (reverence) the wombs (That bore you): for Allah ever watches over you.” [Quran 4:1]

"Indeed, Allah enjoins justice, and the doing of good to others; and giving like kindred; and forbids indecency, and manifest evil, and wrongful transgression. He admonished you that you may take heed. [Al Quran 16:91]

"Those who spend in prosperity and adversity, and those who suppress anger and pardon men; and Allah loves those who do good.[Al Quran 3:135]


THE IBRAHIMIYYAH RELIGIONS AS THEY PUT IT:

The Promoters say, Since out of all world religions, Islam is the fastest growing religion, It is the best religion but has been depicted as a violent religion that is averse to Peace, Justice, Unity and Love. so, because Islam is good, they would want to mix it with Christianity and Judaism so that a new religion, called IBRAHIMIYYAH is born.

ISLAM: 
Islam is based on the teachings of the Quran which stresses that ALLAH, The almighty is the God. Prophet Mohamed, being an Arab had direct ancestry to Prophet Ibrahim, who is considered to be the Father of Arabs and Jews. Although it considers Muhammad to be the Seal of the prophets, Islam teaches that every prophet preached Islam, as the word Islam literally means submission to God, the main concept preached by all Abrahamic prophets. The teachings of the Quran are believed by Muslims to be the direct and final revelation and words of Allah (i.e. The God in classical Arabic). Islam, like Christianity, is a universal religion (i.e. membership is open to anyone). Like Judaism, it has a strictly unitary conception of God, called tawhid, or "strict" monotheism.

Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) is said to be the Father of Religions and is described in Islam as 'HANIIFAN MUSLIMAN' - A pure Performer of (Surrender) to God. Prophet Ibrahim has never associated another being To GOD. The Closest religions that come near that are Islam and Judaism.

The Quran states,
"And (remember) Abraham, when he said to his people: 'Worship Allah and fear Him; that is far better for you, if only you knew. Indeed, you only worship, apart from Allah, mere idols, and you invent falsehood. Surely, those you worship, apart from Allah, have no power to provide for you. So, seek provision from Allah, worship Him and give Him thanks. You shall be returned unto Him.'" (Q. 29:16-17)

JUDAISM:
One of Judaism's primary texts is the Tanakh, an account of the Israelites' relationship with God from their earliest history until the building of the Second Temple (c. 535 BCE). Abraham is hailed as the first Hebrew and the father of the Jewish people. One of his great-grandsons was Judah, from whom the religion ultimately gets its name. The Israelites were initially a number of tribes who lived in the Kingdom of Israel and Kingdom of Judah.

After being conquered and exiled, some members of the Kingdom of Judah eventually returned to Israel. They later formed an independent state under the Hasmonean dynasty in the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE, before becoming a client kingdom of the Roman Empire, which also conquered the state and dispersed its inhabitants. From the 2nd to the 6th centuries Jews wrote the Talmud, a lengthy work of legal rulings and Biblical exegesis which, along with the Tanakh, is a key text of Judaism.

CHRISTIANITY:
Christianity is based on the teachings of the Bible (and sometimes, depending on denomination, traditions). Christianity began in the 1st century as a sect within Judaism initially led by Jesus. His followers viewed him as the Messiah, as in the Confession of Peter; after his crucifixion and death they came to view him as God incarnate, who was resurrected and will return at the end of time to judge the living and the dead and create an eternal Kingdom of God. Within a few decades the new movement split from Judaism. Christian teaching is based on the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.

After several periods of alternating persecution and relative peace vis a vis the Roman authorities under different administrations, Christianity became the state church of the Roman Empire in 380, but has been split into various churches from its beginning. An attempt was made by the Byzantine Empire to unify Christendom, but this formally failed with the East–West Schism of 1054. In the 16th century, the birth and growth of Protestantism during the Reformation further split Christianity into many denominations.

THE CONFUSION: 
The appropriateness of grouping Judaism, Christianity, and Islam by the terms "Abrahamic religions" or "Abrahamic traditions" has been challenged.

In 2012, Alan L. Berger, Professor of Judaic Studies at Florida Atlantic University, in his Preface to Trialogue and Terror: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam after 9/11 wrote that there are "commonalities", but "there are essential differences between the Abrahamic traditions" both "historical and theological". Although "Judaism birthed both Christianity and Islam", the "three monotheistic faiths went their separate ways". The three faiths "understand the role of Abraham" in "differing ways", and the relationships between Judaism and Christianity and between Judaism and Islam are "uneven". Also, the three traditions are "demographically unbalanced and ideologically diverse".

Also in 2012, Aaron W. Hughes published a book about the category Abrahamic religions as an example of "abuses of history." He said that only recently the category "Abrahamic religions" has come into use and that it is a "vague referent." It is "largely a theological neologism" and "an artificial and imprecise" term. Combining the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religions into this one category might serve the purpose of encouraging "interfaith trialogue", but it is not true to the "historical record". Abrahamic religions are "an ahistorical category". There are "certain family resemblances" among these three religions, but the "amorphous" term "Abrahamic religions" prevents an understanding of the "complex nature" of the interactions among them. Furthermore, the three religions do not share the same story of Abraham. For these and other reasons, Hughes argued that the term should not be used, at least in academic circles.

In Islam there is a tradition of prophetic lineage, particularly with regard to the prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) who had many prophets in his lineage - Jesus ('Isa), Zakariyyah (Zechariah), Muhammad, David (Dawud), etc. - through his sons Ismael and Isaac upto Prophet Mohamed SAW.

Muslims believe that the first prophet was also the first human being, Adam, created by God. Many of the revelations delivered by the 48 prophets in Judaism and many prophets of Christianity are mentioned as such in the Quran but usually in slightly different forms. For example, the Jewish Elisha is called Alyasa', Job is Ayyub, Jesus is 'Isa, etc. The Torah given to Moses (Musa) is called Tawrat, the Psalms given to David (Dawud) is the Zabur, the Gospel given to Jesus is Injil.

While Islam believes in almost all of Prophet Ibrahim beliefs, which include MONOTHEISM and which puts God in a very Almighty way, It emphasises on the issue of SHIRK - Associating beings with GOD. God can never be a human being, an Idol or in simple terms, nothing looks like God.

In Islam, every prophet preached the same core beliefs, the Oneness of God, worshipping of that one God, avoidance of idolatry and sin, and the belief in the Day of Resurrection or the Day of Judgement and life after death. Prophets and messengers are believed to have been sent by God to different communities during different periods in history.

Christians on the other side believe in POLYTHEISM. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and which contradicts both Islam and Judaism. Christianity have Idols in their churches like symbols of MARY, Jesus Mother and pictures of Jesus, not real one. 

Judaism do not believe in both Prophet Jesus (Isa) or Prophet Mohamed SAW, The main components of Prophet Ibrahim lineage and aspirations.

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّبِعُوا سَبِيلَنَا وَلْنَحْمِلْ خَطَايَاكُمْ وَمَا هُم بِحَامِلِينَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُم مِّن شَيْءٍ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ 

And the disbelievers said to the Muslims, “Follow our path and we will bear your sins”; whereas they will not bear anything from their sins; they are indeed liars.

Prophet Muhammad, S.AW. himself as the last in a line of prophets that reached back through Jesus to Moses, beyond him to Abraham and as far back as Noah. According to the Quran, God (known as Allah) revealed to Muhammad: The Holy Book with the truth [the Quran], confirming what was before it, and [before He sent down the Quran] He sent down the Torah of Moses and the Gospel of Jesus… as a guidance for the people.

Prophet Muhammad did not inherite the Jewish and Christian understandings of God, it was revealed to him. It is surprising that In Islam, Non-Muslims view Jesus and Moses (Read Christianity and Judaism as Pro Peace and Islam is against. In all these three religions, God has a similarly complex and ambivalent character – a blend of benevolence and compassion, combined with wrath and anger. If you were obedient to his commands, he could be all sweetness and light. But you didn’t want to get on his wrong side. 

What is the problem : The Belief itself.
