If Islam does not recognize the concepts of: original sin(ie., Adam & Eve),then we must be sinless at birth?

According to Islam, "We are not sinners or angels by nature and we are capable of redeeming ourselves by making amends for our mistakes."

How then did Sin originate??

    If this so then why did the Son of God die for each one of us ? Why did He take the sins of us all onto Himself so that when we accept Him as our Savior, we pass from death to life ? No more tears or heartaches. Just new resurrected bodies like our Savior. We alre all born with the stain of the original sin and only Jesus Christ can make us new.

    As Islam does not recognize the validity of Jesus Christ and His proper titles as the Son of God, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords to name but a few, why acknowledge that what they present as truth, is ?

    He is, after all, the one who we will stand before,on Judgment Day when Jesus "will give to all according to what they have done." .

    I suggest you get yourself a Bible and read it through from Genesis to Revelation and remember that God tells us that if any of us lack wisdom then we should present our requests to Him, in prayer and believe that He will answer.

    In the bible it will tell you how sin originated and there you can read all about it yourself, along with a lot of other interesting stuff, that you didn't know about, before.

    It even tells you how you can be redeemed....men, women and children, none are excluded and all can ask Jesus Christ into their hearts and He will come. He is constantly seeking those who are lost.

    Be true to yourself and seek the truth because.....

    Eternity is forever and none of us knows when our time on earth is finished.

    So making the right choices here and now is what keeps us going till we hit heaven.

    Heaven, or Paradise as some call it, is available for all those who put their trust in Jesus Christ and no other name under heaven and on earth will get you there because it is the abode of God Himself and His son, Jesus Christ, and multitudes of angels.

  • Sin is not a mark upon your body or soul that you can inherit. Sin generic word for sin is het. It means to error, to miss the mark. It's a mistake you make. We believe that Adam and Eve did sin in the garden of eden and were kicked out (rightfully so) but their sin is not carried on to anyone else. Everyone has made their own faults in life. In the Quranic story of adam and eve. After they were kicked out of the garden they repented and were forgiven. Islam teaches original forgiveness rather that original sin. We are not sinful because of adam and eves sin. Rather God has made us weak and prone to falling into sin. In a hadith of the prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h he tells us that if no one ever sinned God would have wiped us out and replaced us with a people that did. When we make a mistake and repent and we are forgiven; our ability to understand Gods love becomes manifest to us. This is something that even the angels don't have because they cannot sin. We are able to have a relationship with God and know him.

    All babies and children who die regardless of their parents religion go to heaven because you (according to islam) cannot sin or have sin until you are able to rationalize the difference between right and wrong.

    Adam and eve were the first too choose to sin but they also were the first to repent and be forgiven for there sin. We are also given the same choice. With Adam and eve sin did not originate but choice originated, that is the belief of Islam, and yes I believe we are born sinless.

    i think in God and love Jesus, yet i do no longer think of that I ought to have confidence the Adam and Eve tale as genuine with the intention to be honorable to my non secular and non secular ideals. each and every subculture has a creation tale, and, like it or no longer, it is the only we get, and all of us's attentive to it. we are additionally instructed that Jesus died for our sins, so as that should be interpreted to propose that Jesus "picked up the tab" for each physique, and any sin we devote from that factor on is our accountability. i'm getting it that some human beings completely reject the finished concept of sin, and that's an entire different subject remember. via me, sin does exist, and we've sinned as quickly as we've executed some that's no longer in our very own ultimate pursuits or the pursuits of our fellow human beings. We additionally all be waiting to forgive ourselves and others, and if we incredibly do this, this is like we are returned to having a sparkling slate. this is a super question, and that i'm happy you asked it. ultimate desires!

    Sin is religious name given to crime or offense. A sin may be committed by wrong thought, wrong words or wrong action. Sin begins with wrong intention. At birth, personality and mind are not developed. A newly born child is incapable of any conscious thought and consequential speech or act and hence incapable of doing sin. Accordingly, we are definitely sinless at birth.

    Sin originate when Satan whispers in your ears and you do bad things. You are born without sin, so its up to you to follow the right religion. Yes we are sinless at birth.

    Satan was made of fire, he had privilege over all other Jinns ( good and bad spirits made of fire), He was cast out because he did not bow down and he told God, that you have made me of fire and made Adam of dirt. He said I am better than Adam, thats where it all started. And no satan was not a angel because God made all Angels good.

    Sin is when one does not obey God and does what He doesn't want. You wind up hurting yourself and/or others that way. You don't need the "Original Sin" thing to have sin.

    Sin is the willful disobedience of God and his commands. It didn't "originate" but is the result of rebellion against the established "rules."
