75:1
Nay, I swear by the Day of Resurrection. 75:2 And nay, I swear
by the self-accusing soul. 75:3 Does man think that
We will not assemble his bones? 75:4 Nay, (We
are) Able to restore his fingertips. 75:5 Nay,
man desires to give the lie to what is
before him.
(The
Buddhist concept of samsara suggest loss of the individuality that we
experience in this world. This man-made concept is denied in the
Qur’an)(The Qur’an specifies “fingertips”, in Verse 75:4,
which is thought to be unique to each individual, so individuality is
not lost but also the individual body is restored on the Day of
Resurrection)(Allah knows best)
15:9
Indeed, We have sent down the Reminder, and indeed, We are
surely its Guardians.
(The
Qur’an is entirely from God, and it has been preserved, on the
other hand, it is said that there are many (man-made) accretions,
distortions, and apocryphal accounts which affected the accuracy of
Buddha / Siddhartha Gautama’s recorded teachings)(Allah knows best)
18:110
Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that
your God is One God. So whoever is
hoping for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous deeds and
not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."
(God
is One God, there is no god except Him (2:163). And God
does not forgive association, unless people repent and ask
forgiveness before they died (See in my blog the link below: “Is
shirk forgivable?”). On the other hand, Buddhists wrongly reject
that there is One God, and they reject that God is the Creator of
everything)(Allah knows best)
37:95
He said, "Do
you worship that which
you
carve
37:96
While
Allah created you and that which you do?"
(It
is forbidden to worship images. The images do not see, do not
hear
and do not benefit people in anything. But,
Buddhists wrongly revere the image/s
of the Buddha. Those
images are made of stone, etc., which is
carved
by themselves.
So, they
are deluding themselves by inventing such thing)(Allah
knows best)
3:85
And
whoever seeks other than Islam as religion - then never will it
be
accepted from him,
and
he, in the Hereafter, will be from the losers.
(“Islam”
is an Arabic word meaning “Submission
(to God)”.
That’s the religion preached by all Messengers of
God)(On
the other hand, the word “Buddhism” is given after Buddha, a
person; that’s not the true religion)(Allah
knows best)
51:56
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship
Me.
(The
purpose of your creation is to willingly worship God (18:29,
51:56))(Allah knows best)
40:11
They will say, "Our Lord, You gave us death twice and You
gave us life twice, and we confess our sins. So is there any way
to get out?"
(Death
and life are twice for everybody. A person was dead (non-existent),
then alive (in this world), then the person dies (in this world),
then is resurrected (on the Day of Resurrection), and judged by
God)(The man-made concept of an endless cycle of rebirths is
wrong)(Allah knows best)
23:99
Until when death comes to one of them, he says, "My
Lord, send me back 23:100 That I may do righteous (deeds) in what
I left behind." No, indeed, it is a word that he
speaks, and before them is a barrier until the Day they are
resurrected.
19:98
And how many a generation We destroyed before them?
Can you perceive anyone of them or hear a sound
from them?
2:155
And surely We will test you with something of fear, and hunger,
and loss of wealth, and lives and fruits, but give good news to the
patient ones.
(The
concept of Karma seems compatible with the Qur’an in the sense that
good and
bad
actions have consequences, but Karma is not compatible with the
Qur’an in regard to the man-made concept of cyclic reincarnations
which is linked to karma)(Allah knows best)
34:28
And We have not sent you except to all mankind, as a giver of
glad tidings and as a warner. But most people do not know.
(Buddhists
are required to follow the Qur’an, because Muhammad was sent to all
mankind, including Buddhists)(Allah knows best)
112:1
Say, "He is Allah, the One.
112:2 Allah, the Eternal, the Absolute.
112:3 He neither begets nor is begotten.
112:4 And nor is there to Him any equivalent."
16:20
And those whom they invoke besides Allah they create nothing, but
are themselves created. 16:21 (They are) dead, not alive. And
they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.
25:3
Yet they have taken gods besides Him, they create nothing,
while they are created, and they do not possess for themselves
any harm and nor any benefit, and nor they control
death and nor life and nor resurrection.
7:192
And they are not able to (give) them any help, nor can
they help themselves.
2:163
And your God is one
God; there is no god except Him,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
9:31
They have taken their
rabbis and their monks and
the Messiah, son of Mary, as Lords besides Allah. And they
were not commanded
except to worship One
God. There is no god except Him. Glory be to Him from what
they associate.
2:28
How can you disbelieve in Allah? While you were dead, then He gave
you life; then He will cause you to die, then He will give you
life, then to Him you will be returned.
52:35
Or were they created of nothing, or are they the
creators? 52:36 Or did they create the heavens and the earth?
Nay, they are not certain.
28:68
And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses. They
do not have the choice. Glory be to Allah and High is
He above what they associate.
(“Nature”,
“time” or “chaos” are unable to create or choose or give life
and cause death)(God is the Only One Who does that, so He is the only
One to be feared, obeyed, worshiped,...)(Allah knows best)
45:24
And they say, "There is nothing but our worldly life, we
die and we live, and nothing destroys us except
time." And they have no knowledge of that;
they only guess. … 45:26 Say, "Allah
gives you life, then causes you to die; then He will gather you on
the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no
doubt." But most of the people do not know.
103:1
By the time, 103:2 Indeed, mankind is surely in loss, 103:3
Except those who believe and do righteous deeds and enjoin (each
other) to the truth and enjoin (each other) to patience.
(Mankind
need to be saved. God is Free of need)(Allah knows best)
35:15
O mankind, you are those in need of Allah, while
Allah, He is Free of need, the Praiseworthy.
32:13
And if We had willed, surely We would have given every soul its
guidance, but the Word from Me will come true, "I
will fill Hell with jinn and men all together.
57:27
Then We sent Our Messengers on their footsteps and We followed with
Jesus, son of Mary, and We gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the
hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But the
monasticism they innovated - We did not prescribe it
for them - only seeking the pleasure of Allah, but they did not
observe it with right observance. So We gave those who believed among
them their reward, but most of them are defiantly disobediently.
(The
Buddhist monastic lifestyle is an innovation, it is not prescribed
for mankind)(Allah knows best)
