| slm I also got 100% for Islam and then 100% for orthodox judaism below that. i guess i had some misconceptions about judaism, cause I don't see how that could have come out to be 100% as well. |

| AssalamuAlaikum, For some reason I'm getting 90 for Islam. Please tell what my mistakes are: 1. NUMBER AND NATURE OF DEITY [X] Only one God, a corporeal spirit [ ] Only one God, incorporeal (not body) spirit [ ] Multiple personal gods [ ] The supreme force is the impersonal Ultimate Reality [ ] The supreme existence is both [ ] No God or supreme force [ ] None of the above Allah (AWJ) has a body but we know nothing of it right? 2. HUMAN INCARNATION(S) OF GOD(S). [X] God is (or Gods are) supreme [ ] One Incarnation [ ] Many or countless Incarnations [ ] No particular Incarnations [ ] No Incarnations [ ] None of the above. 3. ORIGINS OF PHYSICAL UNIVERSE & LIFE ON EARTH. [X] Per Book of Genesis [ ] Per Book of Genesis, but "day" is not 24 hours [ ] God is creating and controlling the phenomena [ ] All matter and life forms are manifestations [ ] Only natural forces [ ] None of the above. Is the day not 24 hrs.? 4. WHAT HAPPENS TO HUMANS AFTER DEATH? [X] Souls are judged immediately [ ] Death results in unconsciousness [ ] Souls don't survive death. [ ] The soul's spiritual development continues [ ] Rebirths occur [ ] There is definitely an afterlife [ ] No afterlife [ ] None of the above. What I ment was, that souls are asked the questions and then given reward or punishment in Barzakh until the Day of Judgement. 5. WHY IS THERE EVIL? [ ] Humankind inherited sinfulness, or a damaged nature. [X] Humankind did not inherit sinfulness [ ] Ignorance of one's true existence as pure spirit [ ] Not listening to the voice of God [ ] Egoism (self importance) [ ] No supernatural or spiritual reasons. [ ] None of the above. 6. SUFFERING IN THE WORLD? [Agree] Satan's presence on Earth [ ] The original disobedience of Adam and Eve [X] Suffering is part of God's divine will, plan, or design [ ] Suffering is a state of mind [ ] Cosmic imbalance and disharmony [X] Unwholesome thoughts and/or deeds [ ] Nothing to do with the supernatural or karma. Unwholesome thoughts and actions since Allah (AWJ) can punish a person for his deeds in this world. 7. THE PATH TO SALVATION Worship: [God (or Gods/Goddesses)] Baptismal ceremony: [Not Applicable] Is Ghusl a baptismal ceremony? If so, is it necessary? Confess and repent: [Not Applicable] The ques. said about repenting to priests. Doing good works and compassion: [Agree] I considered Zakah as a form of good work and compassion, otherwise Sadaqah is not a fundamental of Islam... rather a way of attaining Ajr. [X] Strict adherence [ ] All, even the wicked, are rewarded after life [ ] Extinguish all cravings, attachments, and ignorance [ ] Learn all life's lessons through rebirths [ ] Realize your true nature as purely spirit [X] Live very simply [ ] Tap the power of the Ultimate [ ] Humankind is saved through human effort I think living very simply is not necessary to achieve salvation since you can be rich and still be a great Muslim. 8. ESSENTIAL POSITIONS Abortion choice supported: [Disagree] Homosexual behavior wrong: [Agree] Roles for women and men prescribed: [Agree] Divorce and remarriage restricted: [Disagree] Social betterment programs fundamental: [Agree]Non-violence fundamental: [Agree] Spiritual healing favored: [Disagree] I believe they are spiritual healing and medicine is complementary, right... but I'd pray two nawafil and read the Qur'an before going to the doc. Protecting nature fundamental: [Disagree] Jazzak-Allahui Khair for clearing any wrong concepts I may have. WassalamuAlaikum |

| SalaamAlaikum Alhamdulilah I got 100 percent for Islam... also for Orthodox Judaism. Anonymous, As Muslims, we don't think that a day in the eyes of Allah necessarily has to be twenty four hours. I think it has something to do with the Arabic language- I'll ask my Arabic teacher, inshallah. Also, Islam does discourage divorce. -Fatoosh |

| slm Anonymous, I am going to address some of your answers briefly. 3. ORIGINS OF PHYSICAL UNIVERSE & LIFE ON EARTH. [X] Per Book of Genesis [ ] Per Book of Genesis, but "day" is not 24 hours [ ] God is creating and controlling the phenomena [ ] All matter and life forms are manifestations [ ] Only natural forces [ ] None of the above. I put down "God is creating and controlling the phenomena". The book of Genesis is just one of the 66 or 72 books depending on what sect of Christianity we are talking about. Their text is corrupted and not preserved. That should probably get you to 100%. :) Also for the divorce/re-marriage I put down restricted, because there is iddah, and the issue about divorcing someone 3 times, etc. |

| Assalam ualykum, LOl. jehovas witness. if you didn't get 100 percent islam then you need to know your very basic stuff. wassalam, but orthodox judiasm? for me? 100 percent? can't get over it. like they said or was it a hadith? christianity took the rituals out of religion, judiasm the spirit and islam has kept both. |

some of the questions could have a different meaning and it covers all OF islam and 'orthodox' judaism as seperate eg notice it didn't have the question belief in a supreme race to save humanity the world etc..which both the jews and nazis believe ...so it's interesting to see how selective the questions are |
