Abstract

Starting with an intrareligious comparison between Islam and Christianity, this paper tries to discuss transreligiously. Expounding the difference between religion and Faith, I have tried to put forth a new theory set under “The Divine Brush”, to articulate God’s tradition, constantly being consistent with its earthly time, arriving to mankind through Faith; the Faith which is redefined as being other than religion, alike to the title, which religion is also not that of history. Moreover, the concept of Messiah is discussed through which, the start of a new religion, historically, is illustrated. The Divine Nature is propounded in the mirror of other religious embodiments of Faith, and the distortion of religions is discussed when the True religion, defined as the religion of any Prophet at His own time, was dead right after His death. The geographical advents of religions are surveyed and discussed whether they have anything to do with reincarnation and the incarnation of God.
