Allah Commands Muslims to BELIEVE Catholics Surah 29;46
Muslims are commanded by Allah to believe what Catholics believe. At least that's what thousands of people on social media are claiming about Surah 29:46. And if you're confused, you're not alone. Because both Muslims and Catholics are getting this verse catastrophically wrong.
📌 Here's the reality: When Catholics and Muslims encounter this verse, they often walk away with completely different understandings. Some Catholics think it validates our faith. Some Muslims see it as an invitation for Catholics to embrace Islam. Others claim it proves all religions are the same, which the Church absolutely doesn't teach. Surah 29:46 reads: "Do not argue with the people of the scripture except in a way that is best... and say, we believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you, and our God and your God is one." But the common mistake is assuming Muslims are commanded to believe Catholics are right. That's not what's happening here.
