@AlphDoti, and does sin exist at all?

(a) The nature of Allah is here indicated to us in a few words, such as we can understand.
The qualities of Allah are described in numerous places elsewhere, e.g., in Chapter 59:22-24, 62:1, and 2:255.
Here we are specially taught to avoid the pitfalls into which men and nations have fallen at various times in trying to understand Allah.
The first thing we have to note is that His nature is so sublime, so far beyond our limited conceptions, that the best way in which we can realise Him is
to feel that He is a Personality, "He", and not a mere abstract conception of philosophy.
He is near us; He cares for us; we owe our existence to Him.
Secondly, He is the One and Only God, the Only One to Whom worship is due;
all other things or beings that we can think of are His creatures and in no way comparable to Him.
Thirdly, He is Eternal, without beginning or end, Absolute, not limited by time or place or circumstance, the Reality before which all other things or places are mere shadows or reflections.
Fourthly, we must not think of Him as having a son or a father, for that would be to import animal qualities into our conception of Him.
Fifthly, He is not like any other person or thing that we know or can imagine: His qualities and nature are unique.
(b). This is to negate the idea of Polytheism, a system in which people believe in gods many and lords many.
Such a system is opposed to our truest and profoundest conceptions of life.
For Unity in Design, Unity in the fundamental facts of existence, proclaim the Unity of the Maker.
(c). Samad is difficult to translate by one word.
I have used two, "Eternal" and "Absolute". The latter implies:
(1) that absolute existence can only be predicted of Him; all other existence is temporal or conditional;
(2) that He is dependent on no person or things, but all persons or things are dependent on Him, thus
negativing the idea of gods and goddesses who ate and drank, wrangled and plotted, depended on the gifts of worshippers, etc.
(d). This is to negative the Christian idea of the godhead, "the Father", "the only begotten Son" etc.
(e). This sums up the whole argument and warns us specially against Anthropomorphism, the tendency to conceive of Allah after our own pattern, an
insidious tendency that creeps in at all times and among all peoples.

@Mukiri, what about falling sick, and Jesus takes the medicine and you expect to heal? Like getting yourself gonorrhea and Jesus takes a jab! Is this not the medicine you prescribe for what you call the original sin?

You as a Christians you belief, that what Adam and Eve when they ate the forbiden fruit. Because of that sin entered into the world, and every human child from the time of Adam up to doomsday is a sinner. As such is destined to hell. They say every human being goes to hell because of the sin of Adam and Eve. They say what they did, they ate the forbidden fruit so God Almighty is going to put everybody into hell. Unless you believe (as @Mukiri would say) that CHrist paid for that sin. Otherwise each and everyone, whether you call yourself Hindu, Muslim, Jew whatever you are, everybody goes to hell for the sin of Adam and Eve.

I say look that is not a just law. Because the Bible, @Mukiri's Bible says the soul that sineth it shall die. The one that sins that one will be punished that one will be destroyed. The son shall not bear the inequity of the father. If father Adam sinned, his children will not be made responsible for his sins. Neither shall the father bear the inequity of the son. The righteousness of the rightous shall be upon him.
Any good thing that the good man does, he gets the reward. And the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Whatever evil thing the evil man does he will be punished. But if the wicked returns, will repent from the sins he has committed and do that which is lawful and right he shall surely live, he shall not die (Ezekiel 18:20-24).

In other words, every person is personally responsible for his or her actions. There is no such thing as man inherits sin. This is summarized by Britisher Major Yeats Brown in his book "Life of a Bengal Lancer", referring to the Christian Doctrine of the Atonement:



He says it has never occured to any backward, barbaric people nor heathen tribe have ever tought of such things, such nonesense.

There is no such thing as the origina sin

I've just come from reading about how 'religion' is a European invention.

'Having an encounter with God', isn't this a religious expression?
