Hi, I would like to talk about islam too. I don't know much about it, and that's why I would like to know more.:pinkart:

what's up my Muslims brothers and sisters! and everyones question is welcomed here! :)

Jesus isn't his real name.... Neither is Jesus Christ!!!

all religions are basically good - its just bad people who distort their meaning.

btw - noodle what was his real name ??

Konnichiwa minasan!
Emi desu!
This is my first post here! My mum is Japanese, dad is English, currently learning Japanese.
I became Muslim 7 years ago, so I can help answer any questions about Islam if you like.
Jesus' name in Arabic is Eesa.

:rolleyes: His real name isn't Jesus... It's a mistranlation... And I'm muslim too, and with you being a muslim I'm sure you would know that in the Qur'an it doesn't say "Jesus". It says Isa.

His real name is Yeshua. He was Jewish, and therefore the original language of the bible was Hebrew (which you might call the Jewish language). When it was translated into greek soon after, they mistranslated his name, and then from greek+hebrew to english, they mistranslated again...

Yeshua means Salvation and/or Lord who is salvation. Are you telling me that in english jesus means Salvation? or that most english speaking christians even know what his name meant?:rolleyes:

Unless you read the bible in Hebrew, I wouldn't sound as confident as you're sounding.

great , I can not believe my eyes , Thanx to allah

Is there any muslim japanese in here to ask him ??:)

MOSQUES IN JAPAN

Just a quick search on google and found that... There aren't many, but there are at least some..

Did you even read anything I said? I didn't say jesus meant salvation. I said Yeshua meant salvation.

And who might "they" be? I honestly think you're confused... They didn't make a "new" bible. A lot of the bible has been distorted but it isn't a "new" bible. And even if it was a "new" bible, do you really think they would change the name of their messiah???

I'll say it again... Jesus' real name is Yeshua. It was translated from Hebrew to Greek, and the translation was Iesous (Greek hasn't got the equivalent letter for Y). From Greek to latin, they mistranslated again and called him Iesus. In latin, the letter "I" can have both the sound of an "i" or a "j". So when it was translated from Latin to english, it was assumed that it was the sound of "j". Therefore, they mistranslated it and called him Jesus.

Better now? If you don't understand and you speak Arabic, I'll write and explain it to you in arabic. :)

Yes the name is not the main thing here, he is a blessed prophet of Allah.
he is the Messiah.

anyway, I became Muslim because I wondered where the ustice of this world was, no human made law is just, so I thought there must be an Almighty supreme law that is flawless, i started to see the signs in Allahs creations and i looked into islam...

after reading a lot i couldn't deny it was the truth, though i tried really hard to fight it, i couldn't lie to myself, cos then I would be the one who ould lose in the end....
so i took my shahadah alhamdulillah.

There are a few mosques here and there, mainly in tokyo, though i would love to go to one one day insha'Allah. There are a few Muslim Japanese women I know I have seen them on youtube and I have a friend who is a Japanese married to a Pakistani Muslim and she converted.

my parents are buddhist, insha'Allah they get hidayah and accept islam.

:rolleyes: I didn't say that the name was the main thing. I am just clearing things for people that read this thread.

One cannot say something that is false and expect it to be left uncorrected... I am simply doing that, correcting it for Emeko and all the others that are reading.

Also, I forgot to tell you, Buddhism doesn't come from Gautam Buddha... First of all its, Siddhartha Gautum. And Buddha or being a buddha means reaching a form of perfect englightenment. So the religion wasn't named after the founder...

You've also made an error with Hinduism, but I'll leave that to the fact that maybe you didn't describe it properly...

What you were trying to say in that paragraph i've quoted is wrong... Sorry if i seem to be putting a lot of importance on it, but I don't think you should be saying things like that, especially as they are not true. To a foreign reader, it might look like you are trying to glorify Islam with false statements.

Noodle !! - thank you for such a brilliant link i truly learnt something i never knew about !! i didnt think there were any muslims in japan !!

Im Really Glad To Heard That U Become Muslim 7 Years Ago. Would U Like Tell Me About How U Can Be Muslim And How Do You Feel Be Muslim?

Alhamdulillah, Subhanallah. Allah love we much so Allah gives us Hidayah.. Keep in the right way of Allah and be good muslim forever.

Allahuakbar!

Assalamoalaikkum i’m moslem too! I’m so happy with this thread. I can met ya all my brother and sister moslem :)

Alhamdulillah there’s mualaf here *point eeman* i'm so happy for you, this is the beginning of your journey. Be prepared and willing to sacrifice in the way to pursue the pleasure of your Creator.

May Allah bless and strengthen you, eeman. May Allah bless and strenghten us all.

Allah said in the Holy Quran, “In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of All the worlds, The Gracious, the Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgement. Thee alone do we worship and Thee alone do we implore for help. Guide us in the right path -- The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings, thos who have not incurred Thy displeasure, and those who have not gone astray”

In learning Islam, cling only to Al-qur’an and Al hadist which is shahih.

Allah hafiz

no i can't speak arbic but i have tried to larn so i kno a little bit.

i can speak arabic and i am muslim:ywave:

Can't believe it :)
 

I am arabian and I am a Muslim, I really can't believe my eyes, I already thought that people thought bad of Islam because some countries medias made it look really bad, but now I feel great.

May Allah bless you all, peace to all.

Edit:

by the way, I really hope that someday Japan would be an Islamic country, because Islam has great systems for everything, like how to live and how to treat people, and how to punish criminals, unfortunatly Islamic systems aren't being applyed in MOST Islamic countries... anybody agrees with me?

man
first i started wright on this site i thoght i was the only muslim
thank god:D
note
i do belive what you just said is correct:ywave:

I am sorry to hear this, especially here →" I really hope that someday Japan would be an Islamic country"
you know, even if islam is good for you, I think you'd better rispect other religions and cultures. Which you said is "change the japanese culture would be better for Japan".
I do not agree with this point.
But study other religion and culture to make peace is nice thing.

I never "disrespected" other religions, I only said that's what I hope, unless you want me to lie about my hopes.... anyways you probably know nothing about Islam, so with all do respect why are you disagreeing?

Japanese people won't really need to change their culture if Japan bacame an Islamic country, they already apply alot of Islamic teachings without knowing, Islam says respect the environment, Japanese do respect the environment, Islam says people should respect each other, Japanese already respecet each other etc.... there is going to be some changes, of course but that doesn't mean that the whole culture will change....

Exactly I don't know about Islam, but your hope is already something invading. What do you feel if someone say " I hope (your country name) will be christianity (or buddism or other)". You won't feel at ease.
If you really have known what respect means, you wouldn't have told this way.

Actually you don't know what I'd feel, you only know what you'd feel, if somebody told me that I would ask him why, and then if I am not convinced, well it's just his opinion I wouldn't make a big deal out of it, obviously you did.. and my hope is not something invading at all, what if Japanese people liked Islam after knowing it for real, and let's say most of them converted to Islam, and then Japan became an Islamic country.. I really see no invading in this, I never said that Muslims should go and occupy Japan and then turn it into Islamic !!!

I interesting to talk with you :D

nice

Alot of muslims in here

great , hw r u all ??:D

OK. I understood. If Japanese liked Islam, and if it would be major, Japan would be Islamic country. It's logic.
But I, a Japanese who grew up buddism circumstance and studied at a protestant university, felt bad when read your message. I agree that you appriciate your religion because you believe in it. But remember, things might not like you believe.
I explained what I felt like you did.
Anyway I'm here to make new friends and have new way of seeing things.
If you explain something about Islam, I'll listen to you.
