Which concept of Islam differentiates it from other religions?
There are various religions in world which are followed by people. It is just because the inner crave of humans for something they can worship and obey. Therefore people start creating their own Gods, and began to worship sun, moon, statues, stones and rocks. Some of the religions which are followed by a large population of humans include Christianity and Islam.
So, somehow the both religions are interconnected in their teachings, but according to Quran the holy book of Christianity was altered by the people for their own benefits. However, there are so many differences which made them totally different religions.
If we talk about the similar ideas of all religions, they all advocate peace, justice, love and harmony. But no religion teaches about the life and world except Islam.
In the most famous book of the renown author Bano Qudsia, named Raja Gidh, she has presented the idea/concept of Haram and Halal in a very unique way. In her interview she said that a non-Muslim foreigner asked her that what's the thing which makes Islam the best religion from others. And for many days she was depressed in thinking about the answer and prayed from God to provide her the answer of this question.Then one day, in the midth of afternoon and evening she was sitting near the window, she saw the tree called as sundri in her lawn. She was amazed by the scene that the tree was lightening and it made a musical sound. When she heard, it made the sound "Rizq e Halal....Rizq e Halal". Then she called the foreigner, and answered his question " you wanted to know that why and how Islam is better than other religions?....it is because the last Prophet (PBUH) brought the message which no other prophet has brought before..and it is that eat Rizq e Halal, otherwise your coming generations will be born mad." And hearing this answer, the man accepted Islam.
So, it is the single thing which no religion has brought forward in its teachings. Islam is the only religion which teaches about the Haram and Halal. According to Bano Qudsia, the up coming generations and their deeds are dependent on the Rizq (livlihood) which they are fed by, either Halal or Haram.
So, if the generations are fed by the Haram morsels (Haram earnings) they will go toward the destruction and madness. This is the concept which is only found in Islam, and no other religion has given this concept by their messengers or prophets.
If you want to know more about the book or about this concept of Halal and Haram, go through Bano Qudsia's book Raja Gidh and you will come across different and unique ideas and her philosophies.
