Assalamu'alaikum wr wb, Berikut adalah beberapa perintah Tuhan dalam 10 Perintah Tuhan yang termuat di Alkitab (Exodus:20). Isinya di antaranya perintah untuk hanya menyembah satu Tuhan (Tauhid), Larangan membuat patung, dan juga larangan zina yang selaras dengan ajaran Islam. Memang dibuat dalam bahasa Inggris, insya Allah kalau sempat saya terjemahkan ke bahasa Indonesia.
Wassalam Islam and the Ten Commandments ofGod Islam is one of 3 Abrahamic faithbeside Judaism and Christianity. Many of the teachings such as worshipping onlyone God (Monotheism) similar to other religion such as Judaism andChristianity. The teachings of pig as a forbiddenfood and circumcision as an obligation for men also found in Judaism and Islamthough the teachings are not applied in Christianity. If we take a look at Ten Commandments of God quoted in Exodus 10,the are many commandments that not applied anymore in Christianity butreapplied in Islam. The Oneness of God Exodus: 20:11 God spoke all these words 20:2 “I, the Lord, am your God, whobrought you from the land of Egypt, from the houseof slavery. 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me. The words is very clear: we shouldhave no other gods before God. In Islam, to enter Islam we should testify:“There is no god but God (Allah)…” In the Quran, Al Ikhlas stated: Say: He is Allah, the One! Allah, the eternally Besought ofall! He begetteth not nor was begotten And there is none comparable untoHim. In Islam, God (Allah) the creator ofthe universe is worship alone. God has no father nor son. And God also has noequal nor partner. However in the Christianity, thoughthey confess worship only one God, but we also hear this one God consists ofthe Father, the Son, and Holyghost. We hear about trinity: One is Three andThree is One. Here is the term Trinity describedin Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity): The Trinity is a Christian doctrine, stating that God is one Being Who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a mutual indwelling of three persons (not to be confused by "person":the Father, the Son (incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth), and the Holy Spirit. In the New Testament, 1 Corinthians,stated that Jesus is the son of God: 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you werecalled into fellowship with his son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 John 5:5 Now who is the person whohas conquered the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son ofGod? In Islam, as stated before, God hasno father nor son. “O People of the Book! Do notexaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth.Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word whichHe conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and Hismessengers, say not "Three". Cease! (it is) better for you! Allah isonly One God. Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that he shouldhave a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. AndAllah is sufficient as Defender.” {Quran 4:171] Do not make Statues: Exodus: 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water below. 20:5 You shall not bow down to themor serve them, for I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God The statement is very clear: do notmake any statue especially if we bow down to them. However, almost in everychurch we will see many statues of Jesus or Mary. Many people bow and pray tothe statues. In Islam, the prohibition isrespected. We found no statue or idol in Muslim Mosques. Adultery Restriction: Exodus 20:14 “You shall not commitadultery In Islam, adultery (even just comeclose to it) is forbidden: “And come not near unto ADULTERY.Lo! it is an abomination and an evil way” [Al Israa’:32] In Islam adultery sanction is verystrict. The sanction in Islamic law is 100 lashes and expel for 1 year fromtheir homeland for virgins. For those who had married, the sanction is stonedto death. “The adulterer and the adulteress,scourge ye each one of them (with) a hundred stripes. And let not pity for thetwain withhold you from obedience to Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the LastDay. And let a party of believers witness their punishment.” [An Nuur:2] However in the Christianity this sinis very common. There is no sanction against it. In fact free sex is regardedas a human right which don’t have to be controlled by religion or state. === Syiar Islam.
