Mormons believe that Christ&#8217;s church was restored through Joseph Smith and is guided by living prophets and apostles. Mormons believe in the Bible, as well as other books of scripture, such as the Book of Mormon. They have a unique view of cosmology and believe that all people are literal spirit children of God. Mormons believe that returning to God requires following the example of Jesus Christ, and accepting his atonement through repentance and ordinances such as baptism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Allah (\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644)says in the Quran;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u0648\u064e\u0644\u0627\u064e \u062a\u064e\u0646\u0643\u0650\u062d\u064f\u0648\u0627\u0652 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u0634\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0643\u064e\u0627\u062a\u0650 \u062d\u064e\u062a\u0651\u064e\u0649 \u064a\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0645\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0623\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0629\u064c \u0645\u0651\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0645\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0629\u064c \u062e\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0631\u064c \u0645\u0651\u0650\u0646 \u0645\u0651\u064f\u0634\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0643\u064e\u0629\u064d \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0648\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0639\u0652\u062c\u064e\u0628\u064e\u062a\u0652\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0627\u064e \u062a\u064f\u0646\u0643\u0650\u062d\u064f\u0648\u0627\u0652 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u0634\u0650\u0631\u0650\u0643\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u062d\u064e\u062a\u0651\u064e\u0649 \u064a\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0645\u0650\u0646\u064f\u0648\u0627\u0652 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u064c \u0645\u0651\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0645\u0650\u0646\u064c \u062e\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0631\u064c \u0645\u0651\u0650\u0646 \u0645\u0651\u064f\u0634\u0652\u0631\u0650\u0643\u064d \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0648\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0639\u0652\u062c\u064e\u0628\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0623\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0644\u064e\u0626\u0650\u0643\u064e \u064a\u064e\u062f\u0652\u0639\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0631\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u0647\u064f \u064a\u064e\u062f\u0652\u0639\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062c\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0629\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u063a\u0652\u0641\u0650\u0631\u064e\u0629\u0650 \u0628\u0650\u0625\u0650\u0630\u0652\u0646\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u064a\u064f\u0628\u064e\u064a\u0651\u0650\u0646\u064f \u0622\u064a\u064e\u0627\u062a\u0650\u0647\u0650 \u0644\u0650\u0644\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0633\u0650 \u0644\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u064a\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0630\u064e\u0643\u0651\u064e\u0631\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e \ufd3f\u0662\u0662\u0661\ufd3e<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cDo not marry unbelieving women until they believe.
