The Arabic Islam translates into English as Submission, the Arabic word Muslim as Submitter and Allah as God.
FIRST COMMANDMENT
The first commandment – you shall not worship except God – is the unifying aspect of all religions. Unfortunately, the majority of humans including those who claim to be religiously enlightened are unaware of this commandment. The unawareness of this commandment is the source of deep divisions and conflicts amongst religions and within themselves.
The Most Important Commandment*
[3:18] GOD bears witness that there is no god except He, and so do the angels and those who possess knowledge. Truthfully and equitably, He is the absolute god; there is no god but He, the Almighty, Most Wise.
*3:18 The proclamation of faith (Shahaadah) that is decreed by God is: “There is no god except God,” in Arabic “La Elaaha Ella Allah” (see also 37:35, 47:19). The corrupted Muslims insist upon adding a second “Shahaadah” proclaiming that Muhammad is God’s messenger. This is by definition “Shirk” (idolatry) and a flagrant defiance of God and His messenger. Additionally, it violates the major commandments in 2:136, 2:285, 3:84, & 4:150-152 prohibiting any distinction among God’s messengers. By proclaiming that “Muhammad is a messenger of God,” and failing to make the same proclamation for other messengers such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Saleh, and Jonah, a distinction is committed and a major commandment is violated.
[Mathew 22:36-38] “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “You shall love the lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your mind. This is the greatest and and the first commandment.”
Footnote: 22,37-38: Cf Dt6,5. Mathew omits the first part of Mk’s fuller quotation (12,29; Dt6,4-5), probably because he considered its monotheistic emphasis needless for his church..
Jesus had said (full quotation), “You shall worship my lord and your lord, my God and your God…”
[34:53] They have rejected it in the past; they have decided instead to uphold conjecture and guesswork.*
*34:53 People of all religions tend to forsake the word of God and uphold the words of men. The Jews and the Muslims uphold the Mishnah (Hadith) and Gemarrah (Sunnah), while the Christians uphold a trinity invented by the Nicene Conference, 325 years after Jesus.
CHRISTIANS
Instead of following the Gospel and worshipping God alone as preached by Jesus, the majority of the Christians uphold the Nicene Creed fabricated 300+ years after the death of Jesus.
Trinity, the doctrine of God taught by Christians that asserts that God is one in essence but three in “person,” Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: “Hear O Israel: The Lord our God is one” (Deut. 6:4). [ Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1975 ]
JEWS
Instead of following the Torah, the revealed word of God, the majority of Jews follow Mishnah and Gemarrah written by humans years after the revelation of the Torah. Thus the majority of Jews are following other than God’s law in the Torah.
MUSLIMS
The majority of Muslims little idea about what the Quran states or advocates. Instead of the Quran they follow Hadith and Sunnah written by humans 250+ years after the death of prophet Mohammad and the revelation of the Quran.
“The only people who truly believe in our revelations are those who fall prostrate upon hearing them. They glorify and praise their lord, without any arrogance.” Quran 32:15
“..We did not leave anything out of this book..” 6:38
“Say, ‘Whose testimony is the greatest?’ Say, ‘God’s. He is the witness between me and you that this Quran has been inspired to me, to preach to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods beside God.’ Say, ‘I do not testify as you do; there is only one god, and I disown your idolatry.'”6:19
“Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He has revealed this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt.” 6:114
“..Which hadith, besides this do they believe in?” 7:185
“Among the people, there are those who uphold baseless Hadith,..” 31:6
“Let them produce a hadith like this if they are truthful.” 52:34
“Therefore, let Me deal with those who reject this Hadith; we will
lead them on whence they never perceive.” 68:44
“Which Hadith other than this do they uphold?” 77:50
“This is GOD’s eternal system (Sunnah), and you will find that
GOD’s system (Sunnah) is unchangeable.” 33:62 & 48:23
Upholding the Teachings of Religious Leaders instead of God’s Teachings
[9:31] They have set up their religious leaders and scholars as lords,* instead of GOD. Others deified the Messiah, son of Mary. They were all commanded to worship only one god. There is no god except He. Be He glorified, high above having any partners.
*9:31 If you consult the “Muslim scholars” about worshiping God alone, and upholding the word of God alone, as taught in this proven scripture, they will advise you against it. If you consult the Pope about the identity of Jesus, he will advise you to uphold a trinity. If you obey the “Muslim scholars” whose advice is contrary to God’s teachings, or if you take the Pope’s advice instead of God’s, you have set up these religious leaders as gods instead of God.
