Does the "Golden Rule" exist in Islam?

[DivineNames]

God cannot contradict Himself. If violence arises in the hindu, muslim, jewish, christian, etc., community then that's where He would raise a prophet. Now what God reveals is the word of God, but the prophets are in human form and NOT GOD and therby likely to err. No prophet can be a God on earth. So if inconsistencies are there, it is because the interpretation was wrong and not the revelation as God is perfect. People put the blame on God because neither do they want to believe their heart nor their brain because it is so much easier to just blindly follow something.

So God has no way to give accurate revelation? The prophets are likely to screw it up?

How can we trust any of it?

P.S. Did you know that the "Golden Rule" exists in almost all religions EXCEPT Islam?

:o :o

I believe that Anton LaVey's version of Satanism doesn't accept it. So Islam and Satanism are two that go against it.

All the Holy books have something unique about them that others don't. By the way does something good like, 'Use the pen and not the sword' exist in the Bible? Because it exists in the Quran.

Matthew 26:52

"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. (NIV)

Where do we find 'Use the pen and not the sword' in the Quran?

Well, I know it's somewhere there in the Quran or Islam, but I don't know exactly where. And what you say about what Christ said is not the same thing. By the way, you underlined something inside my saying above that I didn't. That is one example of screwing stuff up!

And yes, there is a way to interpret exactly what is revealed. You would have to use your heart, brain and mind together and be ego-free.

The Quran does not go against the use of the sword.

And what you say about what Christ said is not the same thing.

Yes, but the important thing is that Christ does seem to go against the use of the sword, this is certainly not the case with Muhammad and the Quran.

By the way, you underlined something inside my saying above that I didn't. That is one example of screwing stuff up!

I do this sometimes to make it clear about what specific part of a quote I am responding to.

Right. I am not sure that helps us when it comes to incompatible holy books.
