ORIGINAL SIN: Al-Qur’aan = Bibel ?

ORIGINAL SIN: Al-Qur’aan = Bibel ?

Almost four surah’s in al-Qura’an (Q) had against about the Original Sin that had believed by the Christian’s. For example in surah:

Q, An-Nisa’ 4:111 with mean:

“And if any one earns sin, he earns it against his own soul: for God is full of knowledge and wisdom.”

(An-Nisa’ 4:111)

Q, Al-Isra, 17:15

Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent a messenger (to give warning).

(Al-Isra 17:15)

Beside that, have a word in al-Qura’an (Q) that has state, who are earns the sin, its will be their responsible to carried. The word about the responsible of the sin had state in Q, Al-Baqarah 2: 35-39, 48, 62, 90, 134, 286 and Al-Faathir 35: 18.

Islam do not believed the sin of Prophet Adam had inherited by us. The sin of Prophet Adam and Eve had be both of their responsible, and they had been punished by Allah s.w.t. by send them down to the earth.

This statement has a similarity with the Bible as follow:

Jeremiah 30: 31 had explained “Instead, everyone will die for his own sin; whoever eats sour grapes – his own teeth will be set on edge.” Ezekiel 18:20 had explained too: “The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him.” Jesus had said to his disciples on Matthew 19:14: “Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Romans 2: 5-6 brought the meaning of: “But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed (5). God “will give to each person according to what he has done” (6).

Strictly, Al-Qur’an had state that the sins can’t inherit. Followed all these statements from Bible and al-Qur’an, is it should the Christian child must be baptized because of the Original Sin?
