How to be Free from Sin
Beschreibung des Verlags
The Islamic concept of salvation differs from that of other religions, and from Christianity in particular, because Islam rejects the concept of Original Sin and declares man to be responsible only for his own sins. He, therefore, needs to free himself from his own sins in order to attain salvation. In this article, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah(as) answers the all-important question, why does man commits sin, and how can he free himself from it.
The Promised Messiah(as) also argues that a true religion must be judged by its ability to lead its followers to certainty about the existence of God. The holy author makes a detailed comparison between Islam and other major religions, and concludes that Islam alone can lead man to perfect awareness and, consequently, to freedom from sin.
The first English translation of this article was published under the title How to get rid of the Bondage of Sin, in the English edition of The Review of Religions, January 1902. The current translation has been prepared by Wakalat Tasnif, Rabwah.

A very good point of view from someone who I think really has a pure heart, and has a genuine love for all humans no matter what their religion is. The point about "The Blood of Jesus" and salvation is debatable. I believe that all of us have the ability to cleanse our hearts, and reach real salvation. If we learn to forgive and never give up on trust and love for one another, which to me keeps the heart from hardening so the soul can reach salvation, then we will all reach our goal of salvation. Please remember, LOVE is the answer to all! It destroys all that is devious in our hearts and lets the sun from heaven shine into our souls that we may reach our goal of salvation! Amen!
