1- Psalm 84:6 and the Glorious Quran:
Let us look at what the Bible and the Glorious Quran say about Baca (Bacca, Becca, Beca):
Psalm 84
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your
house; they are
ever praising you. [a]
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are
set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley
of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also
cover it with pools. [b]
Footnotes
a. Psalm 84:4 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the
end of verse 8.
b. Psalm 84:6 Or blessings
Let us look at what the Glorious Quran says:
[003:096] Surely the first House founded for all mankind is that at Becca, abounding in blessings and a guidance for all peoples.
Pilgrimage to Baka. Notice how both the Bible and the Quran speak about Baka as a place where Pilgrimage to the House of GOD Almighty happens in. So where is the geography of Baka?
Baka's geography is Mecca:
From https://biblehub.com/commentaries/cambridge/psalms/84.htm:
"Psalm 84:6
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the
pools.
6. Passing through the vale of Baca they make it a place of springs,
Yea, the early rain clotheth it with blessings.
The word
Baca is derived from the root which means to
weep, but it
nowhere means weeping, for which words of a different form are used. Here, as in
2 Samuel 5:23, it probably denotes some kind of balsam-tree, so called from the
‘tears’ of gum which it exudes. The vale of Baca or the balsam-trees was some
vale which, like the vale of Elah or the terebinth (1 Samuel 17:2), and the vale
of Shittim or acacias, took its name from the trees which grew there.
Balsam-trees are said to love dry situations, growing plentifully for example
in the arid valley of
Mecca;
and this is clearly the point of the reference. The vale of Baca was some
waterless and barren valley through which pilgrims passed on their way to
Jerusalem; but faith turns it into a place of springs, finding refreshment under
the most untoward circumstances, while God refreshes them with showers of
blessing from above, as the autumnal rains clothe the dry plains with grass and
flowers. Cp. Isaiah 35:1 ff., Isaiah 35:6 ff.; Isaiah 41:18 ff.; and see Tristram’s Natural Hist. of the Bible, pp. 30, 455, for a graphic description of
the marvellous way in which the rains in Palestine transform the country from a
brown and dusty desert to a lovely garden. Once more we have to note the
singularly bold use of metaphor which is characteristic of this poet.
The familiar phrase ‘the vale of tears’ comes from the Vulg. vallis lacrimarum, and it is possible that such an allusion to the derivation of the word is intended. It is natural to regard the pilgrim’s experience as a parable of the pilgrimage of life, but this secondary application must not be allowed to supersede the original meaning.
This verse has suffered a strange fate in translation. The English Versions follow Jewish authorities in taking berâchôth as the plural of berçchâh, ‘a pool,’ not, as it must be, of berâchâh, ‘blessing.’ The LXX renders. The lawgiver shall give blessings, taking môreh to be connected with tôrâh, law: and similarly Jerome, The teacher shall be clothed with blessing, a rendering followed by Luther."
Here is an image for the webpage of the text above:
From www.answering-christianity.com/jewish_encyclopedia_volume_2.pdf:
Page 461 in pdf, Page 415 in book:
"BACA, THE VALLEY OF : A valley mentioned in Ps. Ixxxiv. 7 [6 A. V.]. Since it is there said that pilgrims transform the valley into a land of wells, the old translators gave to "Baca" the meaning of a " valley of weeping " ; but it signifies rather any valley lacking water. Support for this latter view is to be found in II Sam. v. 23 et seg. ; I Chron. xiv. 14 ct seq., in which the plural form of the same word designates a tree similar to the balsam-tree; and it was supposed that a dry valley could be named after this tree. KOnig takes " Baca " from the Arabian "baka'a," and translates it "lack- ing in streams." The Psalmist apparently has in mind a particular valley whose natural condition led him to adopt its name."
Page 526 in pdf, Page 476 in book:
"BALSAM : Word used as the translation (R. V., margin) of the Hebrew DB£ (Cant. v. 1) and of IW1JJ Dt?3n (ib. v. 13, vi. 2), for which the A. V. has "spice." An aromatic gum or spice, probably the product of a Balsam tree or plant. The Balsam tree of Jericho is noted among ancient writers—Theophrastus, Strabo, Pliny—for its medicinal and highly agreeable aromatic qualities. The so-called Mecca Balsam is generally conceded to be the product of the Balsamoclendron opobalsamum. It is reported that the Balsam has disappeared from Jericho. The product of the Balsam is known in Arabic as balasdn from a balasdn tree, from which balsamon (Greek), balsamum, balsam, and balm are probably derived. The so-called " balm of Gilead "—made by the monks of Jericho and sold to travelers to-day—is a product of the Balanites JEgyptiaca."

2- The Jews' and Christians' scribes changed and still change the Words:
The above research is only a scratch on the surface of what lies deep from deliberate corruption. Allah Almighty's Divine Claim in the Glorious Quran is again and again and again proven to be 100% accurate and True. Notice the simple present tense in يكتبون (write) and يحرفون (change the words):

| Yusuf
Ali: [002:077] Know they not that God knoweth what they conceal and what they reveal? [002:078] And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book, but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture.[002:079] Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from God," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.

Ali: [005:041] O Apostle! let not those grieve thee, who race each other into unbelief: (whether it be) among those who say "We believe" with their lips but whose hearts have no faith; or it be among the Jews,- men who will listen to any lie,- will listen even to others who have never so much as come to thee. They change the words from their (right) times and places: they say, "If ye are given this, take it, but if not, beware!" If any one's trial is intended by God, thou hast no authority in the least for him against God. For such - it is not God's will to purify their hearts. For them there is disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a heavy punishment. Arabic (Read from right to left.

Isaiah 53, Psalm 91, 116 disprove Crucifixion:
|
Bible's OT and NT declare
Jesus was never
crucified:
The Romans had to fake his crucifixion due to Passover issues:
This Prophecy is a lie!
Jesus laid on the floor, got healed, and got up and
Trinity is a Joke!
Some Details: The cursed satan QUOTED Psalm 91 to Jesus challenging Jesus to jump. Jesus simply told him that yes, while the promise of GOD Almighty to protect me from all harm and death is there, but the scripture also says: "Do not tempt GOD." The Bible is very clear about the crucifixion being a man-made lie:
www.answering-christianity.com/psalm_91.htm
Psalm 118 & Jesus the "stone": Furthermore, we read in Psalm 118:
Psalm 117 Yes, they beat the day lights out of Jesus (he never felt a thing), but he never died. He was never crucified. He was never given over to death. GOD Almighty saved him. I quoted Psalm 118:22 above for you to show you that the Psalm chapters and verses that I referenced are all talking about Jesus, and not anyone else.
Never felt a thing: Again, Jesus never felt a thing. Clear proofs from the Bible and the Glorious Quran are given at:

Matthew 26:39 If it is possible?? Why are you backing down now??? I thought you were the brave King Kong that satan made out of you:
www.answering-christianity.com/king_kong.htm
(Jesus: King of Kings or King Kong?)
So let me get this straight: 1- Jesus calls Peter a satan for telling Jesus that GOD Almighty would not allow Jesus to suffer. 2- Jesus himself begs GOD to save him from the crucifixion and all suffering?
www.answering-christianity.com/jesus_hypocrite.htm Is Jesus greater than Adam? NT says no.

Isaiah 29:12 mentions the first Quran-Revelation upon Prophet Muhammad in Cave Hira by the name. The Quran's first revelation upon Prophet Muhammad inside cave Hira.
Both Prophets received Al-Thikr (the Law). There are two Thikrs in the Glorious Quran:
1- Al-Thikr that was sent to
Moses. Both Prophets also received:
1- Al-Kitab.
The only Book "inherited" to them: Also, the Book that was sent to Moses, peace be upon him, was the only one "inherited" by GOD Almighty to the Jews. Visit the links above for more details and proofs.
Take care, |
An AUDIO file from Dr. Zaghlool Al-Najjar:
The black stone was proven to be a Meteorite sent from space.
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, claimed that the stone was sent down by Allah Almighty to Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon both of them, to give the precise location of where the Kaaba was to be built by them. We believe that Prophets Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba. Western Scientists have confirmed that the black stone, which resides near the Kaaba in the Holy City of Mecca, is an outside METEORITE OBJECT!
**** Prophet Muhammad forbade us from worshiping any stone!

Zionist Israel will rule the earth with Mighty Evil! (Islamic Prophecy) The Glorious Quran declared 1,400 years ago that the Israeli Zionist machine will rule the entire earth with mighty evil and power. They will reach "Mighty Heights" علوا كبيرا of evil power and might on earth. See Noble Verses 17:4-8: Also, Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, made a stunning prophecy about the one-eyed anti-Christ who will rule the infidels and the world: Narrated Ibn Umar: "Once Allah's Apostle stood amongst the people, glorified and praised Allah as He deserved and then mentioned the Dajjal (anti-Christ) saying, "l warn you against him (i.e. the Dajjal) and there was no prophet but warned his nation against him. No doubt, Noah warned his nation against him but I tell you about him something of which no prophet told his nation before me. You should know that he is one-eyed, and Allah is not one-eyed." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 553)" Prophet Muhammad had many visions about the dajjal, and gave many signs about him. Some of the things the Prophet said about the dajjal were literal, and some were vision-metaphors. The most prominent one is that he will be one-eyed. This is both literal and metaphoric. It is literal today because the zionist anti-Christ system is indeed represented by the ONE-EYE symbol as seen in the following images. The metaphors here are Allah Almighty not being ONE-EYED, because nothing can describe Allah Almighty. There is "none like unto Him" (Quran, 112:4). In other words also, the Prophet warned that this ONE-EYED SATANIC system will be a worshiped deity. And that false deity is not Allah Almighty. For ample more details and proofs, please visit link below.
Was the
Islamic ONE-EYE Prophecy foretold
before Islam in the Bible's
Zechariah 11:17?
I demonstrated using ample Biblical verses
that the ONE-EYED DAJJAL (anti-Christ) was
never prophesied in the Bible to be
ONE-EYED, nor was this Sign ever given in
the Bible to any being.

Jesus' Original Name: Prophet Jesus' original name was Eesa, as this is also his Islamic name. Even in Latin, it is Iesu, and in Greek it is Iesus. There is also a great deal of evidence that Jesus spoke and preached in Arabic. Not only that, but Greek wasn't even that popular in Palestine. Islam's claims are very strongly supported. See proofs below.
Did early Christians preach Prophet Muhammad in Rome? Did the early believers preach Prophet Muhammad in Corinth, Antioch, Rome and all other places? Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, was the Jews' Messiah and final Prophet. In both the Glorious Quran and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Ahmed was prophesied to come. Ahmed in the Quran is Prophet Muhammad's prophetic name. Also, see below the Dead Sea Scroll image. The New Testament too predicts the coming of three:

Elijah.

So did the early believers preach the coming of Prophet Ahmed or Muhammad? The answer is quite possible, but Muhammad would've been phase 2 for them and not phase 1. Jesus was the early believers' immediate Prophet, not Muhammad. And all of the details that they had were about Jesus, not Muhammad. It is also important to know that the following seven Roman Emperors have thoroughly burned all of the early believers' writings:
1. Nero
(54-68) Read all the details with references here. What we have today from "gospels" and "New Testament" were written 80 years to 300 years after Jesus' departure from this earth. So, the current writings that we have are not original writings. Also, to appease the Roman Empire's 3-headed pagan religion and practices, the pagan 3-headed trinity was invented [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Many lies had been fabricated after the original writings were all lost. The Jews and Christians of Arabia, however, did have writings that predicted the coming of Prophet Muhammad. These were some of the original texts that survived. From Why Jews settled in Arabia section:
