As regards the 'original sin', Islam does not admit this theme. Its main concern is the 'Acquired Sin'. According to Islam 'sin' is neither like a hereditary disease that is transferred from a father to his son through reproductive system nor is sin like a rank or a title that can be passed from an older to a younger person of the family.

Allah’s Miracles
Allah. The personal name of the one true God in Islam. Nothing else can be called Allah. The term has no plural or gender. From the 112th sura of the Qur’an: "In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Say (O Mohammad) He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not anyone."

"When the sky is torn apart, so it was like a red rose, like ointment. Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny? " Quran 55:37-38
Pharaoh’s body was found in the Red Sea, this proves that the story of Moses (peace be upon him) splitting the sea with the help of Allah Almighty really happened. Pharaoh’s body is 3500 years old, it’s amazing that it was preserved very well in the sea. Even some of the mummies are not preserved this well. Also fish in the sea could have easily eaten the flesh, but they didn’t. Why is that? The answer is in the following verse of the Quran where God says:
We delivered the Children of Israel across the sea. Pharaoh and his troops pursued them, aggressively and sinfully. When drowning became a reality for him, he said, "I believe that there is no god except the One in whom the Children of Israel have believed; I am a submitter.Too late! For you have rebelled already, and chose to be a transgressor. Today, we will preserve your body, to set you up as a lesson for future generations. Unfortunately, many people are totally oblivious to Our signs.
Quran (10:90-92)
Pharaoh’s body. Even the internal organs are intact.
God is Great (Allah’u Akbar)!

Toshiko’s story
As-Salaam aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakathu
First Exposure to Islam
My name is Toshiko and I was first exposed to Islam when I was studying Judaism with my Jewish uncle. Every Friday I would go to his home and we would have dinner and then a lesson from the Taurat. It was very very interesting. One day, I learned the story of Ishmael and Isaac. I did not know anything about them at the time. I was intrigued to find out that the Jews and Muslims are related in this way. I never really pursued much from there though and got back into Buddhism again. read more »
M. H. DURRANI
(Former Senior chaplain, St. Mary’s Church, Quetta PAKISTAN)
Forty years ago, at a very young age, I became a Christian under the influence of a Mission school. I spent most of my life under the Church of England as an Anglican Priest. Islam came to me as does the spring comes to the brown earth after a dark winter. And I came to the religion of my forefathers that is ISLAM.
For my return to the fold, the cause is an inspiration through a vision wherein I have had the personal blessing of the Holy Prophet (saw) I praise Allah, for his Holy Prophet and am overjoyed to find the Prophet (saw) who restored to man his dignity and the freedom of action.
A change of heart comes from the Almighty God. In the fact, without His guidance all our learning, all our searching and all our yearning to find the truth may lead us astray.
We need conviction and no argument, how skillful, or eloquent, impassioned, leaned, penetrating; will ever make a man feel satisfied unless he has the proof within his own soul. The only way to have it is to receive it as a gift from God. read more »

The True Religion
The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word Islam” itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gautama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism afterthe tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the true religion of “Allah” and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah’s “God’s” religion; the total submission to the will of Allah “God”. read more »
