188 Islam Denounces Terrorism

All true adherents of these three great religions:

Believe that God has created the entire universe out of noth-
ing and that He dominates all that exists with His omnipotence.

Believe that God has created man and living things in a
miraculous way and that man possesses a soul granted him by
God.

Believe in resurrection, heaven and hell and angels, and that
God has created our lives with a certain destiny.

Believe that God sent many prophets such as the Prophet

Noah (pbuh), the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), the Prophet Isaac
(pbuh), the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) and the Prophet Moses
(pbuh) throughout history, and they love all these prophets.

angels and His Books and His Messengers. We do not differentiate
between any of His Messengers. They say, "We hear and we obey.
Forgive us, our Lord! You are our journey's end." (Qur'an, 2:285)
The beliefs of the People of the Book are in harmony with Mus-

lims, not only in terms of faith-related issues, but also of moral values.

and a model of egoism and self-seeking cruelty have grown wide-
spread, the People of the Book and Muslims share the same virtues:
Honour, chastity, humility, self-sacrifice, honesty, compassion, mercy
and unconditional love.

Even though such concepts like "The End of History" and the
"Clash of Civilisations" started to be popular from the 90's onwards,
