Introduction
Recently, I shared a video expressing my journey of repentance to God. In reaction to my video, a Muslim viewer commented, asserting that my understanding of their beliefs was incorrect. This sparked a deeper reflection on the nature of repentance in Islam compared to Christianity.
The individual emphasized that Muslims do not have a definitive assurance of entering heaven. They cited a common belief in Islam: “Whoever meets Allah without associating partners with Him will enter Paradise.” This statement aligns with the Islamic understanding of monotheism and the importance of avoiding shirk (associating partners with God).
However, the viewer took issue with my assertion that Muslims believe good works are necessary for entering Paradise. They referred to a Hadith in their argument, but I believe their interpretation overlooked key aspects. It's important to clarify that the Hadith referenced is not part of the Quran. The Quran itself states that “those who believe and do righteous deeds will have their reward.” This indicates a connection between faith and actions within the Islamic framework.
Muslims engage in acts of worship such as praying, fasting, and giving to the poor, but the uncertainty about their eternal fate remains a significant difference from Christian doctrine. In Christianity, we believe that our faith in Jesus Christ leads to salvation, and as an outflow of that faith, we naturally produce good works motivated by love.
In conclusion, while both religions emphasize the importance of faith and actions, the fundamental understanding of repentance and the assurance of salvation vary significantly between Islam and Christianity.
