The concept of original sin simply does not exist in Islam, and never has.  For the Christian readers, the question is not whether the concept of original sin exists in present day, but whether it existed during the period of Christian origins.  Specifically, did Jesus teach it? Apparently not.  Whoever dreamt up the concept, it certainly wasn’t Jesus, for he reportedly taught , “ Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19:14)

1. Original Sin , a closer look
Are we born with so called Original sin or
born innocent ?
IS A NEWLY BORN BABY REALLY A SINNER?
ISLAM CHALLENGES THE CONCEPT OF
ORIGINAL SIN. LET US FOUND OUT WHY ?

2. • The concept of original sin simply does not exist
in Islam, and never has. For the Christian
readers, the question is not whether the concept
of original sin exists in present day, but whether it
existed during the period of Christian
origins. Specifically, did Jesus teach it?
Apparently not. Whoever dreamt up the
concept, it certainly wasn’t Jesus, for he
reportedly taught , “ Let the little children come
to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the
kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19:14)

3. • “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children,
neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers,
every man shall be put to death for his own
sin.” Deuteronomy 24:16) (Jeremiah 31:30): “But every
one shall die for his own iniquity...”(Ezekiel 18:20): “The
soul that sinned, it shall die. The son shall not bear the
iniquity of the father; neither shall the father bear the
iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous
shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall
be upon him.” After reading the above verses, would you
not agree that The Bible itself teaches that each of us is
responsible for our own action

4. • Let us ponder what the Quran has to say :“And no
bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden”.
(Quran 35:18)
• Sahih International Quran 35:18And no bearer of
burdens will bear the burden of another. And if a
heavily laden soul calls [another] to [carry some of]
its load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he should
be a close relative. You can only warn those who fear
their Lord unseen and have established prayer. And
whoever purifies himself only purifies himself for [the
benefit of] his soul. And to Allah is the [final]
destination.

5. • Sahih International translation of Quran Surat 2
Ayat 48 :And fear a Day when no soul will suffice
for another soul at all, nor will intercession be
accepted from it, nor will compensation be
taken from it, nor will they be aided. Quran 2 AlBaqarara : 48 So it would seem that The Bible
and Quran are in agreement on this topic. And
as we go along further on this journey of truthseeking, we'll see that this happens more often
than not.

6. • To seek forgiveness, one must sincerely repent
directly to The One from whom Forgiveness
emanates, Allah. Adam and Eve were
responsible for their own sin. They both
repented and they were both forgiven by Allah.
There is no need for anyone to die for anyone .
You can never establish justice by injustice (
Killing an innocent man for the sins of others is
the ultimate injustice )

7. The Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful
• As for the sin of Adam, the Quran tells us that
he repented for his sin. God revealed to him
words with which to repent, which he then
accepted from him . “ Then Adam received
Words (of forgiveness) from his Lord, and he
accepted his repentance. Verily, He is the
One Who repeatedly accepts repentance, the
Most Merciful.” (Quran 2:

8. • And behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what
good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said
unto him, why callest thou me good? There is none good but one
that is God: but if thou will enter into life, keep the
commandments. (Matthew 19: 16-17)So, Jesus showed to the
Jewish person who was asking him (Matthew 19: 16-17) that the
keeping of the commandments is the only way to God and a key
to salvation. God affirms what Jesus, and all His apostles say
about that matter. Allah says in the Quran : "whoever works
righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will
We give a new life a life that is good and pure, and We will bestow
on such their reward according to the best of their action (16:
97). So, one will be saved according to his deeds, and not
according to something else.
