Other Religions

"Ideally, then," I asked, "how does a Muslim view the world and other religions?"

"Islam is a very God-centered religion, so emphasis is always to recognize that everything that is here in this world God has brought into existence. A Muslim sees God in everything. We say, ‘See God in everything, don’t see yourself.’ Sometimes this has led to pantheistic ideas but really there is no pantheism in Islam and cannot be. We don’t point our fingers and think that, ‘This is God or that is God.’ Once you point at anything and say, ‘This is God,’ you are doing polytheism, which becomes idolatry.
