Muslims generally are of 2 types :
[1] Muslim by chance;
[2] Muslim by choice.
We must not take for granted our being Muslim - as this is already a
great favour which Allah SWT has given us.
Every Muslim must ‘strive’ to remain true and loyal to this DEEN
(religion), by constant learning and acquiring the right knowledge
(‘ILM) and diligently putting to practice what they have learnt with
righteous deeds (‘AMAL).
Although many have come into Islam, yet it is unfortunate that there
are also some who became Murtad (renounce or leave Islam).

Allah SWT informs us that generally, Muslim converts usually are
better replacements for they will be granted favours of such
standards as stipulated in this verse. Viz. :

These verses was revealed about a group of people from the
Quraysh who said to the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him
peace:
“Come follow our religion and we will follow yours. You worship our
idols for a year and we worship you Allah the following year. In
this way, if what you have brought us is better than what we
have, we would partake of it and take our share of goodness
from it; and if what we have is better than what you have
brought, you would partake of it and take your share of goodness

He ( Allah bless him and give him peace ) said:
“Allah forbid that I associate anything with Him”.
And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed (Say: O disbelievers!) up to the
end of the Surah.
The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, then
went to the Sacred Sanctuary, which was full of people, and
recited to them the Surah.
It was at that point that they despaired of him.

“Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets, I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.” (Mathew:5:17)

He was referred to with the title “Messiah” (Hebrew) which is the equivalent to “al-Maseeh” in Arabic - in both languages it means “the anointed one” from the root word ‘masaha’ – i.e. “to wipe, rub over with, anoint”.

The word “messiah” was later translated into Greek which is “Kristos” (which has the meaning of ‘the anointed’). And from this Greek word it was kept in use, even in English with the Latinized spelling “Christ”. From this we get the word “Christians”.

WHEN AND HOW THE TERM WHEN AND HOW THE TERM “CHRISTIANITY” CAME “CHRISTIANITY” CAME ABOUT?ABOUT?Jesus a.s. came for the Jews but Paul was interested to popularize this teaching amongst the Hellenized world (Romans and Greek). Scholars considered him to be a Hellenized Jew (i.e. a Jew strongly influenced by Greek culture and ways of life). He was not amongst the original disciples of Jesus. He was originally a persecutor but then later converted, claiming to have seen a ‘vision’.

After Paul’s ‘conversion’ to this religion, he offered interpretations of what the religion should be, which included changing the Jewish ways with that of Greek and Roman ideas to gain converts amongst the gentiles (non-Jews).

.... teaching Trinity ?
“...Jesus said to them, go forth and make disciples of them and baptize them in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy spirit...”
(Gospel of Matthew 28: 19)
Some Christian would quote this to justify..
CHRISTIANITYSimple explanation in
Matthew 28: 19:These words does not mean that Jesus teaches Trinity, rather the use of the phrase “..in the name of ” signify authoritative basis for preaching.”. Example an ambassador acting on behalf of the government and country will sign “in the name of the head of state and the country, but writing his own name.” The teaching of the religion is with the authority sanction by God, His angel and His Messenger. Just as it is wrong to say that the ambassador is also literally the country, thus it would be wrong to say that the Messenger is also God.
