The one and only religion that Allaah, the Most Gracious, accepts is Islam. This religion has one path, one direction and is based on one methodology—that which the Prophet of Islam Muhammad (peace be upon him) followed along with his comrades. This religion which Allaah has chosen for mankind is not subdivided into different sects nor does it divert into different paths. However, a number of people have gone astray and corrupted the religion, forming many different groups that bear no relation to Islam, examples of which are Al-Baatiniya, Al-Qadyaninya, and the Bahaa’iya, among which Allaah the Most Exalted and Glorious has warned us in the Holy Qur’aan:
**" And verily this (i.e. Allah’s commandments mentioned in the previous two verses 151 and 152) is my straight path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you from His path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al- Muttaqoon **( the pious-see V2:2) " Verse # 153, Surat Al An’aam.
As for the second part of the question, the noble inquirer must know that Islam came down from the heavens in the form of divine revelations and inspirations to the Prophet (peace be upon him). Islam is the religion that Allaah has accepted for his worshippers, and has chosen it to mark the final completion of all that preceded it and thus supercede and be the seal for all religions. Therefore, it is not possible to say that Islam was influenced by other religions (as it was revealed by God, Allaah, the Almighty).
We hope that you will read more about this religion and we ask Allaah to guide you to the True Path.
I’ve read your post and it really interests me.I like the way u worded everything and that your faith is mash-Allah strong and that no other false religion can influence the Din of Haq.

Let there be no compulsion in religion..2:256 Al Quran
****"That is because Allah is
the (only) Reality, and because whatever else they invoke besides Him is
Falsehood; and because Allah,- He is the Most High, Most Great". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A1shah: Don't you ever have anything nice to say? Watcher didn't start off by cursing you, so why are you being hostile?
P.s. Look at the post by Eastern Analog about the Ahl-Bayt. I would like to know the answers to those questions too.. Don't shy away now like you have in the past.
