How do you obtain Salvation?

I dont have faith in God

How is Zakah or charity in Islam inferior? What is the standard? How big does charity have to be for it to be accepted? In Islam it's not about the standards. Zakah is based on the fact that Allah is the original owner of all things in the heaven and the earth. You said you know what Zakah is. Ok I believe you but were you taught about the roots of the word? It comes from "Zaka" meaning growth and increasing but it also means purify and clean. There is more wisdom behind Zakah than giving charity. One of them being that it purifies the character of the person and protecting him from egotism.

Nice point on Charity and good works sis, i too share the same view..
the things we do justifies what kind of Faith we have.

2.5% of Zakat is inferior because what is revealed in the bible is to give your best when you give. There was even a story in the bible about a woman in the temple of whom has 2 denari and the Lord was pleased because she gave her all for the temple.

I don't really know if islamic salvation is the same as that of christians,
they said that the difference between the bible and the quran, is just
the book of muhammad.

i believe Allah is the one we Christians call Father God..

Me also,
the book of Quran if I'm not wrong even
started with the book of Genesis.

i was not referring to Islamic Faith and practices bai

i was talking about Allah, the Muslim God..by the Characteristics attributed to Him
a Father, All merciful and all Loving, Just, the Creator ,Perfect..etc..
without a doubt, i believe we are calling out to the same God only by different name.

in the same way the Spaniards accepted Bathala(the God of Filipino katutubos)
as the same with the Father God in the Holy Trinity.
because of the Characteristics attributed to Bathala, the Creator of the universe, first man and woman etc...

Jesus on the last Day for Muslims will descend to fight against Dajaal (evil). As Muslims we have no need for a mediator to ask for forgiveness. No priests, no pope. There is nothing in the way of Creator and His creation.

What do you mean Last Day? And descend from where man?
