 Quranic Foundations And Structure Of Muslim Society

3. REVEALED, BUT ADULTERATED AND UNAUTHENTIC:

(a)   Christianity:

1.       Concept of God: Monotheistic, with the concept of a Compound Deity—the Triune God, consisting of three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.

2.       Outlook: Mystical, earthly life being conceived as   incompatible with human yearnings.

3.       Standpoint: Mystical.

4.       Ideal: Salvation of the individual in the life-after-death.

5.       Standard of Behaviour: Ascetic. In fact, no standard of behaviour or principle of evaluation is needed, because it would necessitate obedience to Law and thus annul the efficacy of Atonement. 

6.       Mission: To lead its followers into Divine Grace through the mystery of Vicarious Atonement.

7.       Programme: Ritualistic and Ascetic exercise for the attainment of ‘saintliness’.

 

(b)   Judaism:

1.       Concept of God: Monotheistic, with the concept of a Single Deity—leaning towards Anthropomorphism and the notion of a Racial Deity.

2.       Outlook: This-worldly, adjusted with the vested interests of  the Israelites.

3.       Standpoint: Legalistic and Racialistic.

4.       Ideal: Salvation of the Israelite race alone.

5.       Standard of Behaviour: Pragmatic and bearing reference to the interests of the race.

6.       Mission: Welfare of the narrow group.

7.       Programme: Struggle for making the Israelites the dominant race in respect of their being the ‘Chosen People of God’.
