"Nor would he instruct you to take angels and prophets for Lords and Patrons. What! would he bid you to unbelief after you have bowed your will (to Allah in Islam)?" Quran 3:80
- "One Day He will gather them all together, and say to the angels, "Was it you that these men used to worship?"
Quran 34:40
Why compare religions at all ?
According to our view the most important aspect is that, it serves the purpose of understanding one's own religion better by compare and contrast. To do this we have to study other religions as well, so that we can compare our religion with other religions and find out in what way Islam is supreme to other religions. With this knowledge we can explain Islam to others in a better way, giving various comparisons according to their respective religion. Muslims are instructed in the Quran to respect other religious beliefs, and specifically those who are Ahl-al-Kitab (People of the Book).
Secondly to others it serves as a means to practice their debate skills.
Lastly (for non-muslims) it serves as a means to confirm their own faith.
