A Qur’anic Perspective on Addressing Doubts About the Doctrine of Heavenly Religion
Keywords:
Heavenly Religion, Judaism, Christianity, Abrahamic Faiths, HermeneuticsAbstract
This study examines the doctrine of the Heavenly Religion, which links Islam, Judaism, and Christianity as revealed religions originating from the same divine source, and its implications for Muslim thought in the current context. Using a qualitative approach through thematic content analysis, this study examines the arguments of the Quran, scholarly references from books of interpretation, narration, and history, and criticism from contemporary scholars. The study findings show that the doctrine of the Heavenly Religion, as highlighted by some modern thinkers, contradicts the principles of Islamic faith based on the texts of the Quran, which emphasise that Islam alone is the religion that is pleasing to Allah SWT. In this regard, the analysis of the verses of the Quran, narration, and history found that this doctrine of the Heavenly Religion has the potential to affect the faith of Muslims. In conclusion, this study emphasises the urgent need to deepen understanding among Muslims and to increase vigilance against the spread of the doctrine of the Heavenly Religion, which can confuse Muslims' faith and identity.
