Islam looks a lot like Christianity and Judaism in many respects. It is monotheistic, has a creator God, is similarly tribal in orientation and believes that the world is basically evil and there are powerful forces who oppose God's plans. They differ from their two sister religions in regards to the person and status of Jesus and the Christ.. We wont repeat all the aspects they have in common. |

Escatology. Similar to Christianity, somewhat similar to Judaism. In brief: Jesus will come as Christ. He will notice how devout Muslims are compared to the Christians, upon which he will appeal to Allah to become a Muslim, and it will be granted. He will then slay all the pigs on earth. He will then convince Christians to stand with Muslims in the war against all Jews. Once all Jews are killed, he will appeal to all Christians to convert to Islam. Once the conversions are done, he will declare war on the rest of the Christians and together with the Muslims will kill them all. Once done, Mohammed will come again to govern as ruler of the peaceful and perfect world called Islam. |
We have nothing to compare to that. |
Sufism is very small school of thought within Islam that is sometimes said to be tolerated by the mainstream rather than being regarded as orthodox. Within Sufism there are several schools of thought. |
Wayism understands the Sufi to have originated with the ancient eastern Bactrian/Ghandaharian Zoroastrian Magi. They were on the fringes of Zoroastrianism because they convinced the authorities that they adapted their mysticism to their orthodoxy. Later, these people amalgamated with other traditions, mainly a form of Buddhist mysticism. They were very influential in Wayism at the time. Formed part of the group that sponsored Jesus' ministry and took care of his education and implemented his reforms in various schools of thought at the time. Several hundred years later when Islam came by to forcibly convert people, a group of them convinced the authorities that they can practice their faith and lifestyle while being orthodox Muslims, they adopted the Koran. Over the past 1,500 years many things changed. We don't have enough information about them in this day. Suffice it to say that we still have in common the existential experience of the Divine presence, the understanding that all life are held in place by Divine Energy from the subatomic level to the various universes. We share some beliefs about our place in the universe, about joy and laughter and mysticism but that is about all we know for now. |
