A Brief Description of Islam as the Shi'ites Believe

"And remember when We made a covenant with you, as we did with the other prophets:-- with NOAH and ABRAHAM, with Moses and Jesus the son of Mary. We took from them a solemn covenant, so that Allah might question the truthful about their truthfulness. Allah has prepared for the unbelievers a grievous punishment."

THE HOLY QURAN _ S33: 7

"Bear up them with patience as did the ARCHPROPHETS before you, and be in no haste about the unbelievers."

THE HOLY QURAN _ S46: 35

WE BELIEVE that the holy prophet Mohammad closed the long line of APOSTLES, and he is the LAST of the prophets, His Islamic law will cover all the mankind, and will remain until the end of the world. That is to say: _ the nature of his doctrine and Islamic commandments is so becoming, that will satisfy all the needs of man up to the end. And that; if any one claims to be a prophet after him, the claim is false.

"Mohammad is not the father of any of you men, but he is the apostle of Allah, and the SEAL of the prophets. Allah has full knowledge of all thing."

THE HOLY QURAN _ S33: 40

13_ THE SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN THE FOLLOWERS OF DIVINE RELIGIONS

Although we believe that, Islam is at present the only official religion accepted by God, it doesn't mean that there cannot be a symbiosis between the followers of Divine Religions, whether they live in the Islamic countries or elsewhere. This has an exception of those non-Muslims who are combatants against Islam and Muslims.

"Allah for - bids you not, to be kind and equitable to those who have neither made war on your religion, nor driven you out from your homes. Allah loves the equitable.
