Peace be upon you,

Christians use Quran to prove that Muslims are disbelievers because God says in Quran that the followers of Jesus will be superior to those who disbelieve. Since today Christians are superior in materialism than Muslims, therefore Christians are the believers and Muslims are the disbelievers.

•   Quran (2:55) [Mention] when Allah said, “O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ.

Please pay attention to the word (“make” which in Arabic is “Ga’elo”, the root of “Ga’elo” is “Ga’ala”) as in (and make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve). I will explain to you other verses from Quran in which God used the word (make “Ga’ala”) so that you understand what God meant.

God says in Quran that He (“placed” in Arabic “Ga’ala”) affection and mercy between spouses, but there are many spouses who hate each other and sometimes the matter ends in divorce, so the meaning of (placed in Arabic “Ga’ala”) is that God established His law that there shall be affection and mercy between spouses, but left them free to choose.

•   Quran (30:21) And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

God also says in Quran that whoever enters the Sacred House “Ka’ba” in Mecca shall be safe, which means that no harm will happens to him/her, but accidents always happen in it and many Muslims die, so what did God mean in (and whoever enters it shall be safe)!

•   Quran (3:97) In it are clear signs [such as] the standing place of Abraham. And whoever enters it shall be safe. And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way. But whoever disbelieves - then indeed, Allah is free from need of the worlds.

God explained the meaning of (and whoever enters it shall be safe) in verse (2:125) which says that He (“made” in Arabic “Ga’al-na”, root of “Ga’al-na” is “Ga’ala”) the house safe. The meaning of (“made” in Arabic “Ga’l-na”), as I explained above, is that God established His law that the Sacred House will be safe, but left the duty of its security to the Muslims because at the end of the verse He said (And We charged Abraham and Ishmael to purify My house). The meaning of “purify My house” is to clean it of all dangers that may lead to harming the Muslims during pilgrimage “Hajj”.

•   Quran (2:125) And [mention] when We made the House a place of return for the people and [a place of] security. And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer. And We charged Abraham and Ishmael, [saying], “Purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer].”

Let us go back to the verse in which God said that He makes those who follow Jesus superior to those who disbelieve, as I demonstrated above, God established a law that the followers of Jesus, who believed in him that he is God’s servant and His Messenger, will be superior to the disbelievers, but left them free in the choice of to work and excel or fail to work. If they worked and excelled, they will be given their reward, but if they don’t they will be disobedient, not disbelievers. But the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said that actions depend on the intention behind it, and a person will be rewarded only for what he/she intended. So if you sincerely intend to work and excel and you were not successful because of the oppressor rulers, for example, that they did not secure you an opportunity to excel, then God will judge you for your intention because God looks at our hearts, not our forms.

Also, the meaning of those who follow Jesus, servant and prophet of God, will be superior to the disbelievers does not mean in materialism but in worshipping and morals because God explained in verse (2:212) that He made the life of this world beautiful to the disbelievers and they will ridicule the believers of their inferiority, but God said that the believers will be above them on the Day of Judgment which means that they will enter paradise and be superiors to the disbelievers who will go to hell fire.

•   Quran (2:212) Beautified for those who disbelieve is the life of this world, and they ridicule those who believe. But those who fear Allah are above them on the Day of Resurrection. And Allah gives provision to whom He wills without account.

Pease be upon you,

You have the right to know:

The Bible says that Jesus did not come to bring peace on earth but a sword. This means that Jesus is a dictator.
 
•   Matthew (10:34) Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.

The Quran “Holy Book of Muslims” says that Jesus is blessed wherever he is, and peace is on him everywhere.

•   Quran (19:30-34) [Jesus] said, Indeed, I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah (paying charity) as long as I remain alive. And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive. That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.

Did Jesus rise from the dead?

Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead. But, according to the Bible, Jesus did not die. When the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus to give them a sign to convince them that he was the Messiah, Jesus gave them one sign which is the sign of Prophet Jonah. Then Jesus told them that Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so that the Son of Man [Jesus] will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

1.   Matthew (12:38) Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”

2.   Matthew (12:39) He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

3.   Matthew (12:40) For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Jonah’s story: God told Jonah to go to Nineveh to preach to the wicked, but Jonah fled to another city, Tarshish. When he got into the boat, God sent a great wind on the sea to punish him. The people on the boat threw a lot to find out who was responsible for this catastrophe “the high wind” because they were superstitious. The lot fell on Jonah, and they threw him into the sea. He was swallowed by the whale, and he remained in its stomach for three days and three nights. He prayed from inside the whale and God answered his prayer and commanded the fish to vomit him.

•   Jonah (2:1-2) From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. And he said: “I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, And He answered me. “Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice

•   Jonah (2:10) And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land

Jonah prayed to God from inside the whale and cried. This means that Jonah was alive in the belly of the whale. If Jonah died when the whale swallowed him and then resurrected inside its belly, this means that he will die twice because the whale vomited him on the ground. This means that he returned to live normally like every human and he will die again like everyone else. But God said in Hebrews that man will die only once. This proves that Jonah did not die when the whale swallowed him and then resurrected inside its belly.

•   Hebrews (9:27) And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,

So Jonah was alive when they threw him into the sea “entered the sea”, and he was alive when the whale swallowed him, and he was alive inside the belly of the whale, and he was alive when the whale vomited him. Let us return to the sign that Jesus gave to the Pharisees and teachers of the law, which is Jonah will be three days and three nights inside the belly of a huge fish, so that the son of man [Jesus] will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. We conclude from this that Jonah entered the sea alive, so Jesus entered the heart of the earth alive. Jonah was three days and three nights alive in the belly of the whale, so Jesus was three days and three nights alive in the heart of the earth. The whale vomited Jonah alive on the ground, so Jesus came out from the heart of the earth alive, not dead. Therefore, the claim of Christians that Jesus raised from the dead is completely false. Please note that Christians believe that the heart of the earth is a tomb. But since he was alive in all conditions, we conclude that the “Heart of the Earth” is a cave, not a tomb.

The Crucifixion:

Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross to bear our sins and that he rose from the dead. But the Bible says that it was not Jesus who was on the cross. God said in Isaiah that His servant will not cry, but the one who was on the cross cried. This is to prove that Jesus was not the one who was on the cross.

•   Isaiah (42:1-2) Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.

•   Matthew (27:46) About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).

What does the Quran say about crucifixion?

Quran mentions that one of Jesus’ disciples, a Jew and traitor, believed that Jesus was a liar and wanted to kill him to please God, is the one who was put on the cross. God placed Jesus’ gaze on this man and he was crucified. This traitor arranged with his king and told him of the address of Jesus. When they went to crucify Jesus, this man knocked on Jesus’ door and asked him to come out because he wanted to talk to him. But God told Jesus everything before their arrival and commanded him not to go out with him. So Jesus told him that he would follow him in a few moments. When this man turned his face to the king and his army, he did not realize that he became like Jesus, they all attacked him assuming he was Jesus and put him on the cross. This man believed that he was a believer and was serving God, when they put him on the cross, he cried out to God and said to Him, why have you forsaken me?

•   Quran (4:157) And [for] their saying, “Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.

Another proof from the Bible that the person who was on the cross is not Jesus:

When they crucified the Jewish man (and everyone assumed he was Jesus because as I mentioned above, God put the likeness of Jesus on this man) and buried him, Mary Magdalene went to visit the tomb on the third day and was stunned when she found the tomb opened and empty. She cried and started looking for Jesus everywhere while crying. If Jesus told people that he will rise from the dead, she should have rejoiced when she did not find him in the tomb. When she found Jesus, he told her that he had not yet ascended to the Father. Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead and remained on earth for a while and then ascended to heaven to God. If this is true, why did she cry when she did not find him in the tomb and was stunned when she found him alive? If Jesus was going to rise from the dead, he should have told the people about it, and Mary is supposed to be normal when she found him. When Jesus told Mary that he had not yet ascended to the Father means that he did not die yet. This is to prove that Jesus was not the one who was on the cross.

In verse 13, Mary asks where they have laid Jesus while crying. This means that she was looking for the other tomb that they put him in, which means she was looking for a dead Jesus.

•   John (20:13) They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.”

In next verse, Mary saw Jesus but could not recognize him.

•   John (20:14) Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus

In next verse, Jesus spoke to Mary but could not recognize his voice and thought he is the gardener. The question is
how a woman who has known Jesus for so many years and stood with him face to face could not recognize him and thought he is the gardener. This is because Jesus was disguised himself (dressing similarly) as a gardener and spoke with a different accent. Why did Jesus disguise, this is because he was afraid, because he knew that they were looking for him to kill him. Mary told him “Sir, if you have carried him” which indicates that she meant a dead body because we only carry the dead, but the living can walk. This means she was looking for a dead Jesus.

•   John (20:15) Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”

In next verse, Jesus spoke to Mary while she is still crying in his natural accent and called her only by her name, the moment she heard his voice, she recognized him immediately but was stunned to discover that he is alive. If Jesus told people that he will rise from the dead, she supposed to be natural.

•   John (20:16) Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher)

In next verse, since Mary was shocked to discover that Jesus was alive, she either touched him on his hands or arms by an accident. Jesus instructed her not to touch him. The reason why Jesus instructed her not to touch him is that in Islam a man is not allowed to touch (like shaking hands) a foreign woman other than his wife, mother, sister, daughter, niece, aunt and grandmother. Then Jesus told her that he had not yet ascended to God. This means that he is not dead yet. Therefore, the person who was on the cross was not Jesus.

•   John (20:17) Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

Also when Jesus appeared to the disciples, they were stunned and terrified and thought he is a ghost. Again, if Jesus told them that he would rise from the dead, why were they afraid and thought he is a ghost? This is quite clear evidence that when Jesus came to them, he did not come from the dead, and the person they saw on the cross was not Jesus. Since they saw someone who looked like Jesus on the cross, they assumed that Jesus was dead and they buried him, for this reason they thought Jesus is a ghost when they saw him again.

•   Luke (24:36-37) While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.

In next verses, Jesus tries to comfort them and convince them that he is not a ghost and he is alive.
 
•   Luke (24:38-39) He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”

Therefore, other verses in the Bible that say Jesus will die on the cross and rise from the dead have been modified because these verses contradict the verses I mentioned above.

The Savior:

Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross to bear our sins. As I explained above that Jesus was neither crucified nor dead, therefore Christians misunderstood the meaning of “God has laid on him the iniquity of us all” and assumed that God meant that Jesus will be a savior who would bear our sins.

•   Isaiah (53:6) We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all

The correct meaning of “God has laid on him the iniquity of us all” is that God entrusted him with the responsibility of preaching His message to the Israelites, or that God will hold him accountable for our sins. However, Jesus preached the message of God to the people of Israel. Evidence that Christians have misunderstood the meaning of
the savior is found in Ezekiel which says that an evil person needs to turn away from his/her sins, repent and do good deeds in order to be forgiven. God did not say that we need a savior to bear our sins.

•   Ezekiel (18:30) “Therefore, I will judge each of you, O people of Israel, according to your actions, says the Sovereign LORD. Repent, and turn from your sins. Don’t let them destroy you!

•   Proverbs (28:13) Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy

Christians believe that Psalm 53 and Romans (3:10-20) say “No one is righteous, no, not one… no one does good, not even one…” and because the Bible says that God loved the world, that He gave His only son (Jesus), and because the Bible says that Jesus is a savior, so they assumed that Jesus was a savior.

•   John (3:16) “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

•   1 John (4:14) We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world

But Christians misunderstood the meaning of “God loved the world” and assumed that God’s love was unconditional. But the Bible says that God’s love is conditional on those who keep the commandments. Therefore, for those who don’t keep the commandments, God does not love them. So we understand from this that Jesus is the savior of only those who keep the commandments only. 

•   John (14:21) Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

Then after the verse that says Jesus is the savior, it says that we rely on the love God has for us. And God loves only those who love Him. Those who love God keep the commandments. Therefore, for those who don’t keep the commandments, God does not love them.

•   1 John (4:16) And so we know and rely on the love God has for us

•   Proverbs (8:17) I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.

The meaning of “God gave his only son” is that God offered Jesus to teach people the commandments, which include repentance and good deeds then they will have eternal life.

Psalm 53 and Romans (3:10-20) say that there is no one on earth who does good, but prophet Abraham, Moses, Isaac, etc., did some good deeds. Although they committed some sins, but also did some good deeds, they at least preached the message of God to people. Therefore, we conclude that Psalm 53 and Romans (3:10-20) have been modified and contained errors.

Evidence is also found in Ezekiel which says that no one bears anyone’s sins. Each person is responsible for his/her work. Then when the Bible says “whoever believes in him” and “the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all”, we see from this that Christians misunderstood their meanings when they claimed that Jesus is a savior.

•   Ezekiel (18:20) The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

Then the next verse in Ezekiel says that good deeds will erase your sins, and that is exactly what the Quran says.

•   Ezekiel (18:22) None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live

Jesus said if you don’t believe what Moses wrote, that means you don’t believe in Jesus. As I mentioned above,
Moses wrote that no one will bear the sin of another human being. This means if you believe that Jesus is your savior, then you are not a believer in Jesus.

•   John (5:45-47) “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”

Christians have also misunderstood the meaning of “Jesus gave his life as a ransom” and assumed that this meant that he died on the cross to bear our sins. As I explained above, no one will bear the sin of another one, therefore, the true meaning is that Jesus devoted his life to preaching the gospel and did not give up when they tortured him.

•   Matthew (20:26) Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

In Islam, God does not expect people to be perfect, but He expects them to keep asking for forgiveness when they sin. Prophet Mohamed said that everyone makes sins which mean that humans are not perfect and will commit sins constantly. He also said that if we don’t sin, God will replace us with other people who sin and ask for forgiveness and God will forgive them. When the Prophet said this, he did not mean to encourage people to sin deliberately, but he meant to give us hope that God will forgive us if we ask for forgiveness each time we sin. The sinners should say in their hearts, “God, forgive me,” but they must be sincere and strive not to sin again, but we will remain sinning, so we have to keep asking for forgiveness each time we sin and God will always forgive us because He is Forgiving.

•   Prophet Mohamed said: All children of Adam make sins, and the best of sinners are those who repent. He also said, By the One in whose hand is my soul, if you did not sin, God would replace you with people who would sin, and they would seek forgiveness from God and He would forgive them.

•   Quran (39:53) Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”

Muslims believe that God will count a sin as one point and a good deed as ten rewards. For example, if you say good morning to your kids or neighbours, you will get ten rewards. If you cook for yourself or your family, you will get ten rewards. But if you don’t feed the dog and make him hungry, you will lose one credit. Don’t you think in this case that God is very Merciful in Islam? Muslims also believe that good deeds will erase sins.

•   Quran (6:16) Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have ten times the like thereof [to his credit], and whoever comes with an evil deed will not be recompensed except the like thereof; and they will not be wronged

•   Quran (11:114) And establish the prayer (at the) two ends (of) the day and (at) the approach of the night.
Indeed, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That (is) a reminder for those who remember.

Just in the case of a Muslim helping the needy, they will receive seven hundreds rewards and God may increase them. What mercy do you expect more than this? Just for giving a needy person a sandwich or a glass of water, you will receive at least seven hundreds rewards.

•   Quran (2:261) The example of those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah is that of a grain that sprouts into seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains. And Allah multiplies the reward even more to whoever He wills. For Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing.

•   Prophet Mohamed said: Save yourself from the hell fire even with half a date (to be given in charity) and if you do not find a half date, then with a good pleasant word.

Who is the man that God spoke of in Isaiah and Deuteronomy?

According to a few verses from the Bible, the man God spoke of is clearly not Jesus. Please note that Jesus is the Messiah “servant and prophet of God”, but in these specific verses, God meant a man other than Jesus.

•   Isaiah (53:9) He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

The verse says that he was assigned a grave. Christians believe that Jesus had a grave for three days and then rose. However, as I demonstrated above that Jesus was not crucified and did not die and that the heart of the earth that he entered was not a grave but a cave, therefore Jesus did not have a grave. If Christians disagree with this, then you have to understand that when God has assigned for him a grave means that the grave is permanent until the Day of Judgment so that whoever wants to see can see it. However, Prophet Mohamed has a permanent grave until today. 

•   Isaiah (53:10) Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand

The verse says that he will see his offspring, but Jesus had no children while Muhammad had. Christians believe that the meaning of “offspring” is “spiritual offspring”, those who believe in Jesus. Please note that the verse does not say spiritual, and this is an assumption made by Christians to make it fit their belief. The verse clearly says “God will prolong his days” which means that God will make him live longer to show him his offspring in his naked eyes.

Christians misunderstand the Book of Revelation (21:7) when it says “I will be their God and they will be my children” and assumed that it is Jesus who said this. If you read verse 2 in the same chapter, you will find that it is God who addresses Jesus. Please note that the verse says “I saw” which is “Jesus saw” the new Jerusalem coming down from heaven “from God”.

•   Revelation (21:2) I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

Then the following verses say, “He said to me” which is “God said to Jesus”: I will be their God and they will be my children. The verse says that the victorious will be the children “lovers” of God, not children of Jesus.

•   Revelation (21:6-7) He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.
To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.

Please note that King James Bible “KJB” translated verse 2 above as “And I John saw the holy city...” and then translated verse 7 as “I will be his God, and he will be my son”. KJB translated the verse that John will be the son of God who is one person, while other translators have translated the verse without mentioning any names and in plural as “I will be their God and they will be my children”. If we assume that KJB is the accurate translation, it would mean that only John will be the son of God, not all those who believed in Jesus. This proves that the Christians’ assumption that “he will see his offspring” means his “spiritual offspring” is incorrect. Various translations of the Bible also prove that the Bible is incorrect and contains errors.

Christians also misunderstood Galatians (3:26) which says that we are sons of God through faith in Jesus Christ. The verse does not say that we are sons of Jesus, but sons of God. The meaning of “through faith in Christ Jesus” is by believing that Jesus is the Messiah “a prophet and servant of God” and by following his teaching.

•   Galatians (3:26) For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus

•   Matthew (21:11) And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee

Jesus clearly referred to himself in the Bible as a Prophet of God when some Pharisees told Jesus to leave because Herod wants to kill him.

•   Luke (13:31) At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.”

Then in verse 33, Jesus replied that a prophet should not die outside Jerusalem. Jesus identified himself as a Prophet. 

•   Luke (13:33) Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’ 

Christians believe that Isaiah (53:9) says “He was assigned a grave with the wicked… though he had done no violence”, and that Prophet Mohamed was engaged in many battles. Please note that Mohamed did not initiate any violence, he was only fighting in self-defense. Christians claim that it didn’t matter whether he was engaged in violence in self-defense or not, the bottom line is that he was engaged in violence. Well, the Bible says that Jesus was engaged in violence as well because he commanded people to sell their clothes and buy swords. Swords are used in battles to kill people. This proves that neither Jesus nor Mohamed fought in any battle except in self-defense, and this is not considered violence in the law of God because God allowed humans to fight for self-defense.

•   Luke (22:36) Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.

God told Moses in Deuteronomy (18:18) that He will send a prophet.

•   Deuteronomy (18:18) I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers…

God said that the prophet would be like Moses, but Jesus is different from Moses because Jesus was born without a father, only from a mother, but Moses was born from a father and a mother. This is evidence that God meant a prophet other than Jesus. Christians believe that the meaning of “like you” is that he would be a preacher like Moses. But God said in the beginning of the verse that he would be a prophet, and the duty of the prophet is to preach mankind the message of God.

God told Moses that the Prophet would be from their brothers. Christians misunderstood the meaning of “brothers” and assumed that it would be from the brothers of the Israelis, the house of Jacob, because of these verses:

1.   Deuteronomy (18:15) The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers - it is to him you shall listen

Please note that God first said “from among you” which means from the family of Prophet Abraham. Muslims,
Christians and Jews are all from the same family because Prophet Abraham is our father. Then, God made it clear and said “from your brothers”. Isaac and Ishmael are sons of Prophet Abraham. Jesus is from Isaac’s descendants, and Mohamed is from Ishmael’s descendants. Therefore, the prophet will come from Ishmael’s decedents and not from Isaac’s descendants because Ishmael is the brother of Isaac.

2.   Deuteronomy (17:15) you may indeed set a king over you whom the LORD your God will choose. One from among your brothers you shall set as king over you. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother

Christians also misunderstood the meaning of “foreigner” and assumed that he would not be from any other nation than the Israelis. As I explained above, Ishmael is the brother of Isaac and he is not a foreigner.

•   Genesis (25:9) Isaac and Ishmael, his [Abraham] sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah…

Kedar is the son of Ishmael. Kedar lived near the eastern border of Egypt which is Saudi Arabia where Mohamed lived. The Servant whom God will send will sing a song of praise to God in the city where Kedar lives.

•   Genesis (25:13) These are the names of the sons of Ishmael…then Kedar…

•   Genesis (25:18) [Ishmael] His descendants settled in the area from Havilah to Shur, near the eastern border of Egypt…

•   Isaiah (42:10-12) Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth…let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice…

Please note that Genesis says that this song of praise will be sung from the eastern border of Egypt which is Saudi Arabia from which Prophet Mohamed came. But Jesus came from Nazareth which is north of Egypt. The proof that the prophet will come from Ishmael’s decedents, not from Isaac’s descendants is in Genesis (17:20) which says that the offspring of Ishmael will be a great nation e.g. winners of paradise.

•   Genesis (17:20) “And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.”

Then in the next verse, God said that He will establish His covenant with Isaac.

•   Genesis (17:21) “But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.”

Although God said that He will establish His covenant with Isaac, but his descendants did not keep this covenant and violated it. That is why Jesus told them that the kingdom of God will be taken away from them and will be given to another nation.

•   Matthew (21:43) Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.

The nation that Jesus meant is not Christians because the origin of Christians is from the same nation of Israel, the descendants of Isaac, because Jesus is from the descendants of Isaac, and Genesis says that this great nation will be from the descendants of Ishmael. This proves that Mohamed is the prophet that God spoke of in the Old Testament.

God said He would send a prophet to the nations. “Nations” is plural which means many nations. But Jesus came to one nation only that is “Israel”, which is single nation. This proves that God meant a prophet other than Jesus.

•   Isaiah (42:6) I am the LORD; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations.

•   Matthew (15:24) Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep - the people of Israel.”

On the other hand, God said in Quran that He sent Prophet Mohamed to all nations.

•   Quran (7:158) Say, [O Muhammad], “O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death.” So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.

The proof that this man is Mohamed is in Deuteronomy (18:20) which says that if any liar claims to be a prophet, God will kill him. However, God did not kill Mohamed. He survived for 22 years until he delivered the Quran to mankind. Keep in mind that Mohamed was involved in many battles, but God saved him.

•   Deuteronomy (18:20) But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’

Also God said in Deuteronomy (13:1-5) not to listen to any prophet who asks you to worship other gods. But Prophet Mohamed asked us to worship the God that Prophet Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Jacob, etc worshipped. Verse 5 also says that you must put a false prophet to death. But as I said above, God did not give the power to anyone to kill Prophet Mohamed.

•   Deuteronomy (13:5) That prophet or dreamer must be put to death for inciting rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. That prophet or dreamer tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.

The Bible says that a Counselor will come after Jesus’ departure. Christians believe that this Counselor is the Holy Spirit. Please note that the Holy Spirit was present in the hearts of believers since Moses, David and earlier, and there is no reason for Jesus to ask God to send the Holy Spirit back because it was already there before the departure of Jesus. This is to prove that Jesus meant someone else other than the Holy Spirit.

•   John (16:7) Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send him to you.

•   Numbers (27:18) And the LORD said to Moses: “Take Joshua the son of Nun with you, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him;

•   Samuel (16:13) Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

The Bible says that the Counselor will tell us about the future. Well, Quran that was sent to Prophet Mohamed told us many miracles about the future that was recently discovered with technology. This technology was not available at the time of Prophet Mohamed. To name one, God said in Quran that there are 7 layers of heaven and 7 layers of earth. Scientists discovered today that there are seven layers of earth. Don’t you think that this is a proof that Mohamed told us about the future through God. https://www.bing.com/search?q=Seven+layers+of+earth&cvid=03ab05869de64da8bccff75141edfb67&aqs=edge..69i57j0j69i59j0l6.4175j0j1&pglt=43&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=U531

•   John (16:13) When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.

•   Quran (65:12) It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them…

•   Quran (71:15) Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers.

Since God said that the seven earths are like the seven heavens and in another verse He said that the heavens are in layers, therefore, the seven earths are also in layers.

The question is how Mohamed knew these miracles? Non-Muslims believe that the evil angels or Satan passed these secrets to Mohamed so that people would believe that he is a prophet. But when Mohamed told the people about these miracles, the disbelievers mocked him and accused him of being crazy. So if Satan is the one who passed on these secrets to Mohamed, then he did nothing because these secrets discouraged people from believing Mohamed.
 
•   Quran (15:6) And they say, O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad

The next question is how these bad angels or Satan knew the secrets that were mentioned in Quran if the Bible says that no one has the ability to predict and reveal future events or know what tomorrow holds except God alone.

•   Revelation (5:2-3) And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.

•   Matthew (24:36) But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

The Bible also says that the Counselor will glorify “honour” Jesus.

•   John (16:14) He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.

Well, Quran honoured Jesus and his mother Mary. God said in Quran that Mary is the most purified woman on earth, and Jesus is distinguished in this world and the hereafter and among those brought near to God.

•   Quran (3:42) And [mention] when the angels said, O Mary, indeed God has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds.

•   Quran (3:45) [And mention] when the angels said, “O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah].

The Bible says that the Counselor will testify about Jesus.

•   John (15:26) But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

The Bible says many offensive statements about Jesus such as Jesus refusing to help a dying child because she was not Israeli and insulting her by calling her names. This means that Jesus was racist and rude. On the other hand, Quran that God sent to Mohamed testified about Jesus and said that Jesus was very beneficial to everyone, he even asked God to send food from heaven to the people whom among them were disbelievers to encourage them to believe. God answered Jesus’ call and sent the food from heaven, and told Jesus to tell the disbelievers that if they don’t believe after that, God will punish them a terrible punishment.

•   Matthew (15:22) And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon”

•   Matthew (15:25) The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

•   Matthew (15:26) But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

•   Quran (5:114-115) Said Jesus, the son of Mary, “O Allah, our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers.” Allah said, ‘Indeed, I will send it down to you, but whoever disbelieves afterwards from among you - then indeed will I punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the worlds.”

This proves that Prophet Mohamed is the Counselor that the Bible spoke about.

Is Jesus god or son of God?

Christians believe that Jesus is god or son of God “equal to God”. They believe that God came to earth in the form of man “Jesus”. But God said that He is not a man or a son of man, while Jesus referred to himself that he is a man and son of a man. Therefore, Jesus is not God.

•   Hosea (11:9) I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

•   Numbers (23:19) God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

•   John (8:38-40) I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father. They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.

•   Acts (2:22) Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,

•   John (5:22 and 27) Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.

Christians believe that Thomas called Jesus god, therefore, Jesus is god.

•   John (20:28-29) Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

But Exodus also says that Moses is god.

•   Exodus (4:16) He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be as God to him.

•   Exodus (7:1) And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

So, if Jesus is god, and Moses is god, then that means there are two gods. But Jesus told us that there is one God. This proves that the Bible has been modified and contains errors. The translation of “My Lord and my god” is incorrect because Jesus said that he is a man. Therefore, it should be “Sir and my leader”. And also, “I have made thee a god to Pharaoh” should be “I have made thee a preacher to Pharaoh”. 

•   Mark (12:29) Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

Christians believe that when Jesus said “before Abraham was, I am”, he was referring to the same “I am” used in Exodus (3:14). Therefore, Jesus is god.

•   John (8:58) Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

•   Exodus (3:14) God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

If Jesus meant to say that before Abraham was, I am “god”, why did he say in John (5:30) by myself, I can do nothing? God said in the Bible that He is self-sufficient. When Jesus said he could do nothing by himself, he meant that he was dependent on God. If Jesus is dependent on someone else, then he is not God. When Jesus said “before Abraham was, I am”, he simply meant to say that before God created Abraham or any humans, he was in the knowledge of God that he will be the Messiah “prophet”.

•   John (5:30) By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me

If Jesus also meant to say before Abraham was, I am “god”, why then did he say the words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father? This clearly means that he is not god because he has no authority over anything.

•   John (14:10) Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work

Christians will argue that Jesus has authority because of Matthew (28:18). But the authority that God gave to Jesus is specified in next verse which says that God authorized Jesus to send his disciples to preach to all nations.

•   Matthew (28:18-19) And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
If Jesus meant to say in Matthew (28:18-19) that he had authority and then said in John (14:10) that he had no authority then clearly the Bible contains errors because these verses contradict each other.

Christians will also argue that Jesus was given the authority to judge as in John (5:27). Please note that this authority is based on judging people on earth and telling them if they are sinners and reminding them to repent, not judging people on the Day of Judgment, because Jesus said in John (5:30) I judge only as I hear from God. If these verses mean that Jesus has the authority to judge people on the Day of Judgment, then these verses contain errors because they contradict each other.   

•   John (5:22 and 27) Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man

When Jesus said “I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me”, he did not mean to say that he and the Father are one. The phrase “I am in the Father” means that he is protected and supported by God and “the Father is in me” means that the love of God is in the heart of Jesus and his only concern is to please God.

•   John (14:6) Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus said “I am the way and the truth” and there is nothing wrong with this because every prophet sent by God to mankind from Adam, Noah, John, Moses, Joseph, etc. was also the way and the truth because all of these prophets preached the message of God to mankind. So they were the way and truth.

Jesus said “No one comes to the Father except through me” which means “through his teaching”. Christians assumed that it means “except through worshiping Jesus” which is entirely false because Jesus clearly testified in the Bible that he is not God. He said “the Lord our God” means his God as well. Please note that Jesus also said that “the Lord is one” which means that Jesus is not part of God i.e. trinity “equal to God”.

•   Mark (12:29) Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

Christians will argue that John (10:30) says that Jesus and the Father are one, this means Jesus is god. But in the next few verses, when the Jews heard Jesus saying that he and the Father are one, they picked up stones to stone him because they told him that you claim to be God.

•   John (10:30-31) I and my Father are one. Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him

•   John (10:33) “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”

In next verse, Jesus said to the Jews, it is not written in your Scriptures that you are all gods. Does this mean that the Jews are gods? No, “gods” mean those who preach the message of God.

•   John (10:34) Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I said you are gods’?

Jesus also said in John (17:21 and 23) to his disciples Peter, Thomas, Judas, etc. that you are all in me as I am in the Father. Does this mean that these disciples are also gods? No, so when Jesus said “I and my Father are one” he meant to say one in the same purpose not one in nature. One in the same purpose means that both God and His servant Jesus have the same purpose of preaching the commandments of God to mankind. 

•   John (17:21) that they may all be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

•   John (17:23) I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

The Bible says that Jesus asked God to glorify him with the glory that he had with Him before the world existed. 

•   John (17:5) And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was

But God said in Isaiah that He does not share His glory with anyone. How then God did share His glory with Jesus? As I demonstrated above that Jesus is not God, this will prove that the Bible has been modified and contains errors.

•   Isaiah (42:8) I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols

Christians believe that “in the beginning was the word, the word was God, and the word became flesh” means that Jesus is god. Well, the Bible is the word of God. Does this mean that the Bible is god? No, it simply means that the Bible is the command of God. The meaning of “in the beginning was the word” is “in the beginning was the command”, and the meaning of “the word was God” is “the command was God” which means that everything God commands humans to do is from God, and the meaning of “the word became flesh” means “the command of God became flesh, became man (Jesus)”. When God commands anything, He just says to it be and it becomes.

•   (John 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

•   (John 1:14) The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

In Quran, the angels told Mary that God is giving you the tidings of a “word” from Him whose name is Jesus.
The meaning of “word” is the command or will of God.

•   Quran (3:45) [And mention] when the angels said, O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary…

Then Mary said to the angels, how I would give birth to a child when no man had sex with me? The angels replied, this is God’s decree “command”, when He decrees a thing, He just says “Be” and “it becomes”. So the meaning of
“Word” is decree “command”.

•   Quran (3:47) She said, “My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?” [The angel] said, “Such is Allah; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.

God is one God and Jesus is lord. The meaning of lord in the Bible for Jesus is a servant of God, prophet, teacher, master, mediator, and king. It doe not mean God. 

•   Ephesians (1:3) “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”

•   1 Timothy (2:5-6) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time

Christians misunderstood the meaning of “Jesus is worshipped” and assumed that this means Jesus is god. The meaning of “let all the angels of God worship Him” is “let all angels of God accept him as their leader and listen to him”. God also said in the Quran that He commanded the angels to bow down “prostrate” to Adam. This does not mean that Adam is god or equal to God. It simply means that God wants the angels to take Adam as their leader.

•   Hebrews (1:6) And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let all the angels of God worship Him”

•   Quran (2:34) And [mention] when We said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam”; so they prostrated, except for Iblees (Satan). He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.

Those in the boat “worshiped him” mean that they listened to him and obeyed him. Please note that they said to him, “you are God’s son”, not “you are god”.

•   Matthew (14:33) And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly God’s Son!”

Some Christians believe that since they called him son of God, then he is equal to God “Trinity”. Well, the Bible also says that Adam, Ephraim, etc. are sons of God. Does this mean that Ephraim is equal to God? No, this is the same as for Jesus. The meaning of son of God does not mean partner with God or a minor god or equal to God because God said in Isaiah (42:8) that He does not share His glory with anyone. The phrase “son of God” means the person whom God loved and chose from among people to preach his message to mankind.

•   Jeremiah (31:20) Is not Ephraim my dear son, the child in whom I delight...

•   Luke (3:38) Kenan was the son of Enosh. Enosh was the son of Seth. Seth was the son of Adam. Adam was the son of God.

This verse says “king of the Jews” which means the leader; then it says “the star comes to worship him” which means that it comes to accept his teaching and follow him.

•   Matthew (2:2) “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”

Well, if the meaning of “Jesus is worshipped” is that Jesus is god, then why did he say in this verse “the Father is greater than I”.

•   John (14:28) You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

And why did he say in this verse “My father… is greater than all”.

•   John (10:29) My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

And why did he say in this verse “…the words belong to the Father who sent me, not to Jesus”.

•   John (14:24) … These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

And why did he say in this verse “the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent”.

•   John (17:3) Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent

And why did he say in this verse “Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you”.

•   Acts (2:22) “Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know,

And why did Jesus tell him not to call him good, and commanded him to call God alone good.

•   Luke (18:18-19) Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

Christians believe that when Jesus said not to call him good or he is a man approved by God, he meant to be humbled like a human being. Well, in this case, Jesus misled mankind when he said these statements, and it is impossible that Jesus wants to mislead people. This is just the way Christians think, and this is not from the Bible. There is not a single verse in the Bible in which Jesus himself explicitly states that he is god. In fact, Jesus explicitly admitted in the Bible that he was just a man. On the other hand, Allah clearly referred to himself in Quran that He is God. The word Allah translates to God in Arabic. All Arabic speakers of all faiths call God “Allah” including Christians. However, the concept of Allah for Christians is different that of Muslims. Arabic-speaking Christians believe that Jesus is Allah while Muslims believe that Jesus is not Allah and that Allah is the God that Prophets
Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, etc. worshipped.

•   Quran (20:14) Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

Christians and Jews believe that their books, the Torah and the Bible, are true because God said in the Quran that the
Jews have the torah, and in it, is the judgment of God. Also God said in the Quran to Christians and Jews to uphold the law of the Torah and the Bible. Therefore, this means the Quran testifies that the Torah and the Bible are true.   

•   Quran (5:43) But how is it that they come to you for judgement while they have the Torah, in which is the judgement of Allah? Then they turn away, [even] after that; but those are not [in fact] believers.
   
•   Quran (5:68) Say, “O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord.” And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people.

When God in the Quran told Christians to uphold the law of the Bible, He meant to say that you must follow the verses I mentioned above that Jesus is only a prophet and servant of God, not god or son of God e.g. equal to God.

•   Mark (12:29) Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.

When God said in the Quran to the Jews that the Torah contains the judgment of God, He meant to tell the Jews to follow the verses that say not to bow down to anyone other than God, and not to share anyone with Him because He is jealous. But the Jews amended the Torah and claimed that they are the children of God, and God will beckon to the nations to bow down to them with their faces on the ground. In this case, the Jews shared with God the “bowing down” and referred to themselves as sons of God. The Jews claim that when God commands all nations to bow down to them, does not mean worshipping them, but rather humiliating all nations and honor them. Well, the Jews should know that God humiliates and honor anyone in any way He wants but not in that which applies to Him because He is jealous. 

•   Exodus (20:4-5) “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.

•   Isaiah (49:22-23) This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “See, I will beckon to the nations, I will lift up my banner to the peoples; they will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their hips. 23 Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in me will not be disappointed.”

Why would Jesus tell Christians on the Day of Judgement to stay away from him?

The Bible says that whoever believes in Jesus will be redeemed by his blood and will be forgiven for their sins.

•   Ephesians (1:7) In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to the riches of His grace

This means that the sinners will be forgiven if they believed in Jesus. So if this verse is true and not modified, why
those who believed in Jesus and performed miracles in his name will not be forgiven, and why would Jesus ask them to stay away from him on the Day of Judgment? This is because Jesus told Christians in Luke (18:19) that he is not God, and commanded them not call him even good, but Christians called him god or son of God, “equal to God.” 

•   Matthew (7:22-23) Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Jesus will also tell Christians that I told you in the previous verse to do the will of the Father “God” in order to enter heaven, but you did the will of Jesus.

•   Matthew (7:21) Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

Those who performed miracles mean that they were extremely devoted e.g. they prayed all the time, gave most of their fortune to charity, etc. So, why Jesus will refuse to speak to them and will tell them evildoers? Christians believe that this is because those who performed miracles in Jesus’ name but did not do the will of God were not living a life of obedience. This means that they were sinners, but Jesus said that the sinners will be forgiven through his blood if they believe in him, and those who performed miracles in Jesus’ name absolutely believed in him. This is to prove that “we have redemption through His blood” is incorrect. Also, the Bible says that those who performed miracles in Jesus name even if they are wicked will become righteous in the next moment and will not say anything bad about Jesus.

•   Mark (9:39) “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me”

As I explained above, Jesus is neither God nor son of God i.e. equal to God. He is a prophet of God like Abraham, Moses, Joseph, etc. God said that He is jealous and does not share His glory with anyone. The meaning of “His glory” is His attributes, names, and descriptions. God also commanded us not to misuse His name. This means that God is unique and completely different from all his creatures, and everything that applies to the creatures does not apply to Him. For example, a man has a son, and we say Mike is the son of Dave, so God does not have a son, and it is not permissible for us to say “son” of God. Also a man is the father of a child, and we say that Jason is the father of Derek, so God is not the father of anyone, and it is not permissible for us to call God “father.” The words “son” and “father” contradict the fact that God is jealous and does not share His glory with anyone. However, the Bible says that God forbade people on earth from calling anyone a “father”. But all people on earth are calling men ‘father’ because they have children. And God said that those who misuse His name are guilty. This means that all people are misusing the name of God and therefore we are all guilty. But since people were able to use the name “father”, then this name is not for God. This proves that the translation of the Bible has been modified and incorrect.     

•   Matthew (23:9) And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven

•   Exodus (20:7) You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name

•   Exodus (34:14) for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

•   Isaiah (42:8) I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols

For this reason, Jesus will tell Christians on the Day of Judgment that he never knew them and to stay away from him because they shared him with God. Therefore, if you want to be saved from the fire of hell, you must pray directly to God alone, not through Jesus.

As I explained above, God in Islam is willing to forgive all sins for those who repent and seek forgiveness except for those who share with Him.

•   Quran (4:48) Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin.

What is Islam?

Muslims believe that God is One, He is self-sufficient One, He begets not, and neither is He begotten, and there is nothing like Him. We pray to God and call Him for help directly without any intercessor. Muslims believe that God is not Jesus. Muslims believe that Jesus is one of the Prophets of God. Muslims know God by His 99 names. To name few, the Almighty, the Forgiving, the Generous, the Merciful, harsh in punishing those who disobey Him, the Compassionate, the Loving, etc. God is completely different than all His creatures.

There are five pillars of Islam:

1.   For a person to be a Muslim, he/she must believe in his/her heart and say the testimony (Shahadah) in his/her tongue: I bear witness that there is no god but one God, and I bear witness that Mohamed is His prophet.

2.   Five daily prayers in the morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and night. Each takes an average of 10 minutes. If anyone is disabled, he/she must pray while sleeping in bed or sitting on a chair but should not avoid it.

3.   Fasting one month in Ramadan from sunrise until sunset without food, water, and sex during this time. If a person is sick and can’t fast, he/she has to fast the missing days after Ramadan. If a person is seriously ill and can’t fast, he/she shouldn’t fast but should feed one poor person for every missing day (average $10 per day). If a person is seriously sick and does not have money, God will not hold him/her accountable. 

4.   Zakah (paying charity): Every year Muslims must pay 2.5% charity of their savings over $10,000 to the poor. Necessities such as a house, car, furniture, etc. are not included, only savings.

5.   Pilgrimage: Any person who is physically and financially able to make a jou

GENERAL TOPICS | BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS / Hajj (pilgrimage) and Omrah
« on: October 30, 2022, 01:30:27 PM »
Peace be upon you,

I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan, In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate

I supplicate to Allah to have mercy on Muslims, guide and help them. Many holidays are coming, and Muslims may take advantage of these holidays to go to Mecca to perform Omrah, and those who intend to perform Hajj (pilgrimage) begin buying their tickets as soon as possible. So, I want to warn Muslims who are going to Omrah or Hajj at this time that it is forbidden because Allah commanded Muslims not to give our money to the fools.

·         Quran (4:5) And don’t give your wealth (for business) to foolish people which Allah has made a means of support for you…

And when you pay your money to go to Hajj or Omrah, you give your money to the devil Mohamed bin Salman, the ruler of Saudi Arabia, and he gives this money to USA, and they give him weapons to kill Muslims in Yemen and oppress and starve Muslims all around the world. Please listen to this video of how Donald Trump, previous president of the USA, thanks the devil Mohamed bin Salman, for giving the USA hundreds of billions of dollars, and Muslims all over the world are starving to death daily to find food.

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=donald+trump+thanks+mohamed+bin+salman+for+450+billion+dollars+%2b+youtube&docid=608039156252829534&mid=3EF0CE122A258AB1E30E3EF0CE122A258AB1E30E&view=detail&FORM=VIRE

When you go to Hajj or Omrah and pay your money to the devil Mohamed bin Salman, and you know that this money is used to kill Muslims in Yemen, this means that you may be partner with him in killing Muslims deliberately, because Allah told us that there is no blame on us during necessities, therefore, Omrah and Hajj at this time is forbidden.

·         Quran (4:93) But whoever kills a believer intentionally - his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment.

Muslims do not have weapons to fight the devil Mohamed bin Salman, but they have brains. Let us fight the devil Mohamed bin Salman with our intellect and refrain from going to Hajj or Omrah so that he does not have enough money to give to the USA and may get rid of him, because if he does not give the USA government every year a specific amount of money, they will get rid of him. You may question that the money that the devil Mohamed bin Salman, earns from Hajj and Omrah is not a lot, let me tell you that he earns more than twelve billion dollars a year.

On the other hand, Allah commanded Muslims to prepare for His enemies and our enemies, such as the devil Mohamed bin Salman, and the rest of the demons, the rulers of the Muslim countries, as much as we can of power to terrify them. So, when you do not go to Mecca to perform the duty of Hajj or Omrah and publish this article on social media to reach as many Muslims as possible, with the intention of putting fear in the heart of the devil Mohamed bin Salman, is a strive (jihad) in the cause of Allah, and this is what we have been able to do to fight him.

·         Quran (8:60) And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy…

The enemies of Allah who help the devil Mohamed bin Salman will accuse me of being an infidel because I am averting Muslims from going to the Haram Mosque “Mecca”, but I am averting people temporarily until we get rid from the devil Mohamed bin Salman, because the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade Muslims to go to the mosque when the pandemic spreads.

·         Quran (22:25) Indeed, those who have disbelieved and avert [people] from the way of Allah and [from] al-Masjid al-Haram, which We made for the people - equal are the resident therein and one from outside; and [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein of deviation [in religion] or wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.

Prophet Mohamed, peace and blessings be upon him, advised Muslims to stay home during pandemic to protect oneself and other Muslims from death, this means that he forbade Muslims from going to the mosque as well. Don’t you think that when you go to Mecca to perform Hajj or Omrah and give your money to the devil Mohamed bin Salman, and you know that he uses this money to kill Muslims in Yemen, you may be partner with him in killing Muslims? When you refrain from going to Mecca to perform Hajj or Omrah and you stay patient in your home, you will be rewarded as a martyr.

·         The wife of the Prophet, Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, asked Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, about pandemic, he said, it is a punishment which Allah sends upon whomsoever He wills, but Allah has made it as a mercy to the believers. Anyone (among the believers) who remains patient in his town in which pandemic has spread out and considers that nothing will befall him except what Allah has ordained for him, but that Allah will grant him a reward similar to that of a martyr.

·         Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said, if you hear that pandemic has spread out in a land, do not go to it; but if it spreads out in a land where you are present, do not go out escaping from it. (Because going to this country is like throwing oneself to death, and if you leave the country to escape from it, it is like transferring the pandemic to another country.) This is evidence that paying your money to the devil Mohamed bin Salman to perform Hajj or Omrah is like killing Muslims.

As we all know, the cost of Hajj reached more than US $10,000 per person, Allah is greatest and witness to their immorality, but my question to Muslims who can afford to pay this amount and go to Hajj hoping in the mercy and the forgiving of Allah, is it not also their duty to think of the poor Muslim who does not have the ability, and should refrain from going to Hajj until we force the devil Mohamed bin Salman, to reduce the cost of Hajj to US $2,000 because this is it’s real cost with profit, and keep in mind that the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said (None of you believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself). This means if you go to Hajj hoping that Allah may forgive your sins, and you do not care about the poor Muslim population, this means that you are not a believer. For this reason, Allah said that there are people who go to Hajj and ask Allah to give them (good) in this world, but Allah says that they have no share in the Hereafter. This is because their hearts were not concerned with the affairs of other Muslims.

·         Quran (2:200) And when you have completed your rites, remember Allah like your [previous] remembrance of your fathers or with [much] greater remembrance. And among the people is he who says, “Our Lord, give us in this world,” and he will have in the Hereafter no share.

Keep in mind that if you pay the high cost of performing Hajj, this means that you are helping the oppressor, Mohamed bin Salman. The Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If people see an oppressor and they don't stop him (from his wrongdoing), then it is soon that Allah will send His punishment upon all of them. And Allah said that he/she who helps the oppressors will enter the fire of hell.

·         Quran (11:113) And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest you be touched by the Fire, and you would not have other than Allah any protectors; then you would not be helped.

I want to remind you that the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand, and if he is not able, then with his tongue, and if he is not able, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith.” This means that when you see an evil, you should do as much as you can until you change it. Therefore, it is your duty to publish this article on social media, forward it to all contacts in your email list, and inform Muslims during Friday ceremonies so that it reaches as many Muslims as possible.

Oh Allah, I have conveyed, Oh Allah, bear witness.

Peace be upon you,

As known, whenever the enemies of Islam want to mock Muslims, they use the marriage of Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) from Aisha, who was nine years old, in order to ridicule him and accuse him of raping children. Therefore, I decided to present crystal clear evidence from the Quran and the history that Aisha was at least nineteen years old when the Prophet married her.

Allah commanded a Muslim man not to take back anything from the gifts that he gave to his wife if he wants to divorce her.

•   Quran (4:20) But if you want to replace one wife with another and you have given one of them a great amount [in gifts], do not take [back] from it anything. Would you take it in injustice and manifest sin?

Then Allah said in the next verse that your wife took a solemn covenant from you before you married her. If Mohamed engaged Aisha at the age of six and married her at nine, how can a six or nine year old understand the solemn covenant? This can be possible among intellectually mature people to understand the responsibilities of this covenant.

•   Quran (4:21) And how could you take it while you have gone in unto each other and they have taken from you a solemn covenant?

Allah commanded us in the Quran to test the orphans when they reach the age of marriage, and if you find in them maturity of intellect (rushd), then we release them their money. If Allah sets the condition of maturity in order to give them their money, is it possible that Allah will allow non-mature to marry and have children? And I don't think that a 6 or 9 years old girl has any maturity to make a sound judgment.

•   Quran (4:6) And test the orphans [in their abilities] until they reach marriageable age. Then if you perceive in them sound judgment, release their property to them…
 
I am sure that I will find Muslims who will criticize what I said and argue that Aisha was mature at the age of six and nine because it was a miracle from Allah. But there is no evidence in the Quran that this statement is true.

The hadith that the Prophet engaged to Aisha at the age of six and married her at the age of nine cannot be true because it contradicts the Quran because Allah forbade marriage before the age of maturity and Allah said in the Quran that the Prophet was of great character, and the hadith says that Mohamed was a Quran walking on earth. This means that he did not violate any commandment of Allah.

•   Quran (68:4) And indeed, you are of a great moral character.

If we read the history of Abu Bakr’s family, Aisha’s age can be easily calculated from the age of her older sister Asma’a, who was ten years older than her. Asma’a was born fourteen years before the Prophet’s mission, and the Prophet migrated to Medina after 13 years, this means she was 27 years old during the migration. This means that Aisha was 17 years old, and the Prophet married Aisha in the second year after the migration (Hijrah), this means that she was nineteen years old at that time and not nine as mentioned in the previous hadiths.

Peace be upon you,

How do you know that whoever you are talking to is a Muslim or a disbeliever? When you enter into a discussion about specific verses from Quran, disbelievers and hypocrites will pretend to be Muslims and start arguing and asking irrelevant questions to confuse and distract Muslims from the main idea to mislead them. In this case, you know right away that those are NOT Muslims.

Glory be to Allah, how disbelievers and hypocrites are described in the Quran. They speak at random in the middle of discussing the Quran to distract and mislead people.

•   Quran (41:26) The Unbelievers say: "Listen not to this Qur'an, but talk at random in the midst of its (reading), that ye may gain the upper hand!"

And when you ask them why you cause corruption on earth, they say, we are the truthful and the reformers.

•   Quran (2:11) And when it is said to them, “Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers.”
 
They are like a snake that spreads poison in honey, their speech and appearance are very gentle.

•   Quran (63:4) And when you see them, their forms please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. [They are] as if they were pieces of wood propped up - they think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?

And when a Muslim stands up in the statement of the truth of Allah to explain the Quran, the unbelievers and the hypocrites dispute with him on a false pretext.

•   Quran (72:19) Yet when the Devotee of Allah stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense crowd.

This is how Allah responded to the unbelievers and the hypocrites.

•   Quran (70:42) So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised

And Allah said to His faithful servants who say the truth about Allah not to grieve for them because their destiny is the fire of hell forever.

•   Quran (27:70) And grieve not over them or be in distress from what they conspire.

GENERAL TOPICS | BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS / A woman lacks mind and faith
« on: September 21, 2022, 07:33:53 PM »
Peace be upon you,

Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) said that a woman lacks mind and faith. Allah said in Quran that we use two men as witnesses to our affairs, and if there are no two men, then one man and two women. Allah replaced one man with two women, but Allah said that the reason for two women is that if one woman forgets, then the other woman reminds her. And when Allah spoke about forgetting, this means that the brain of women is weak.

•   Quran (2:282) … And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses - so that if one of the women errs, then the other can remind her

Doctors have discovered today that a woman’s brain is small than a man’s brain. How did Mohamed know this information more than 1400 years ago without today’s advanced technology? The answer is that God the Creator told him this information. This is evidence that Mohamed is a prophet from God Almighty.

https://www.bing.com/search?q=brain+of+women+is+small+than+men&cvid=c8b1ef8721e5462a95966a36f8e50cac&aqs=edge..69i57.1430j0j1&pglt=675&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=U531

However, you should know that when Prophet Mohamed said that a woman lacks mind, he did not mean to insult her or look down on her, rather he meant to tell men that they are sensitive and that men should take care of them and treat them well. Mohamed described women as glass vessels and we all know that we use the vessel to put flowers in it, and the meaning of glass is that glass is easy to break, so Prophet described the woman as sensitive and easy to hurt her feelings. That is why he commanded men to treat women kindly.

•   Allah's Messenger was on a journey and he had his servant called Anjasha who was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah's Messenger said, O Anjasha! Be careful; drive slowly (the camels) for you are driving the mounts that carry vessels of glass (women).

•   Prophet Mohamed said: And I command you to take care of the women in a good manner for they are created from a rib and the most crooked portion of the rib is its upper part; if you try to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, it will remain crooked, so I command you to take care of the women in a good manner.

•   Prophet Mohamed said: The best amongst you are those who treat their wives the best, and indeed, I am the best amongst you in treating my wives.

Allah also commanded Muslims in Quran to live with our wives in kindness and when we dislike them e.g. if they harass us, Allah commanded us to be patient because Allah may reward us with something good for our patients.

•   Quran (4:19) O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality. And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good.

And when Prophet Mohamed said that women lack faith, he meant to say that it is not permissible for a woman to pray or fast during menstruation. Once cleaned, they are only allowed to fast the missed days but should not pray the missed prayers. For this reason, her faith is less than that of men because men pray more than women, but God will not hold her accountable because He allowed her not to perform the missed prayers.

GENERAL TOPICS | BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS / Ezra is the son of God
« on: September 14, 2022, 08:35:32 PM »
Peace be upon you,

The Jews claim that the Quran is incorrect because there is no one in the history of the Jews named Uzayer. The Jews admitted that there is a Jew named Ezra, from Yemen, who claimed to be God, but the Jews tried to kill him, and not a single Jew in the whole world followed him. The Jews challenged Muslims to find any Jew on earth today who believes that God Has a son like the Christians believe. But the Jews admitted that they believe that they all are children of God, but they mean by the son of God, the beloved ones of God. Therefore, I decided to explain to you the meaning of Uzayer is the son of God.

•   Verse (9:30) in Quran says that Uzayer is the son of Allah (God). In Quran, it’s written in Arabic “Uzayer”, but in English, they translated to Ezra.
•   Verses (5:12), (7:157), and (48:9) in Quran, use the word “Azaro” which means honored him.
•   The origin of the words “Uzayer” and “Azaro” is “Mo-azar” which means honored.
•   Therefore, the meaning of “Uzayer is the son of Allah” is “the honored is the son of Allah”.
•   Allah explained the meaning of “the Jews said Uzayer (honored) is the son of Allah” in verse (5:18) of the Quran which says “the Jews and the Christians say, we are the children of Allah and His beloved”.

The proof is in the Torah:

When the Jews believe that they are the sons of God, even if they mean God’s beloved ones, this means that they are using the title “son” for man and for God, and this is not acceptable to God because He told them in the Torah not to misuse His name, and He is jealous and does not share His glory with anyone. The meaning of “glory" is His attributes, names, titles and descriptions. This means that God is unique and completely different from all of His creatures and everything that applies to the creatures does not apply to Him. For example, a man has a son and we say this boy is the son of Jason, so it is not permissible to call the “son” of God. It’s the same for the “father”, a man is the father of a child and we call Dave the father of Derek, so it is not permissible to call God our “father”. The titles “son” and “father” contradict the fact that God is jealous and does not share His glory with anyone. When Jews and Christians say that they are children of God, they are misusing His name and sharing the title of “son” between man and God, and since God is jealous, He does not accept that.

•   Exodus (20:7) You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

•   Exodus (34:14) for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

•   Isaiah (42:8) I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols

God told the Jews not to make for themselves any image of anything and bow down to them.

•   Exodus (20:4-5) “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.

But there is another verse in the Torah that says that God will beckon to the nations to bow down to the Jews. These two verses contradict each other, one verse says no one is allowed to bow down to anyone other than God, and another verse says that all nations will bow down to the Jews. This is evidence that the Torah is modified and contains errors. Therefore, the Jews are sharing with God “bow down”, while He told them that He does not share His glory with anyone. However, the Jews claim that when the nations will bow down to them, does not mean that they bow down to worship them, but God wants to humiliate the nations and honor the Jews. Well, the Jews should know that God honors and humiliates people with anything other than that applies to Him. Thus, when God Almighty said in the Quran, “The Jews said Uzayer is the son of God,” He meant to say, “The Jews said (the honorable) is the son of God,” meaning all Jews are children of God.

•   Isaiah (49:22-23) This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “See, I will beckon to the nations, I will lift up my banner to the peoples; they will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their hips. 23 Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in me will not be disappointed.”

And God knows;

GENERAL TOPICS | BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS / the sun rises from the West
« on: September 07, 2022, 03:18:18 PM »
Asalam o alikum wa rahmatoAllah wa barakatuh

Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) said, “The Hour will not be established until the sun rises from the West: and when the people see it, then whoever will be living on the surface of the earth will have faith, and that is (the time) when no good will it do to a soul to believe then, if it believed not before.”

We understand from this Hadith (saying) that the sun will rise from the west, but Allah said in Quran that the sun runs toward its stopping point, and He also said that the sun does not reach the moon. Therefore, these two verses prove that the sunrise and sunset are fixed and do not change, so what is the meaning of the sun will rise from the west?

•   Quran (36:38) And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

•   Quran (36:40) It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.
 
Allah said in Quran that the sun is a shining light, so when the sun rises from the west, means that the light of Allah (Islam) will shine from the west, meaning that Allah will guide westerns to Islam.

•   Quran (10: (5) It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases…

The Prophet continues the Hadith and says that a soul will not benefit from faith if it had not previously believed once the sun rises from the west. But Allah said in Quran that He will continue to accept man’s repentance until death comes to him, that means, until he sees the angel of death or if he knows that he will die within a short time due to a serious illness or has been sentenced to death for a crime he committed, only then the repentance will not be accepted, so what did the Messenger of Allah mean by this?

•   Quran (4:17) The repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong in ignorance [or carelessness] and then repent soon after. It is those to whom Allah will turn in forgiveness, and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. (18) But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, “Indeed, I have repented now,” or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment.

The Messenger of Allah meant with this is that what Allah said in verse (6:158) which says (some of the signs of your Lord will come) which means that when death comes to man i.e. he knows that he will die in a short time as I explained above, because the Prophet said that the door of repentance is open until the soul reaches the throat.

•   Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) said: Allah accepts a servant’s repentance till his spirit gargle. The gargling is: when the soul reaches the throat.

•   Quran (6:158) Do they [then] wait for anything except that the angels should come to them or your Lord should come or that there come some of the signs of your Lord? The Day that some of the signs of your Lord will come no soul will benefit from its faith as long as it had not believed before or had earned through its faith some good. Say, “Wait. Indeed, we [also] are waiting.”

There is one east and one west on earth, but Allah said in Quran: the Lord of the two easts and Lord of the two wests. Well, The first East is that the sun rises (the spread of Islam) from the Arabian Peninsula, and the first west is that the sun (Islam) was absent from the West such as America and Europe, while the second East is the transition of Islam to the West such as America and Europe, meaning that God will guide westerns to Islam and the second West is that Islam will disappear from the Arab Peninsula, meaning, they will become infidels, because the Prophet said that Satan will appear in Najd, and Najd is the Arabian Peninsula.

•   Prophet Mohamed said: O Allah! Bless our Sham and our Yemen. People said, Our Najd as well. The Prophet again said, O Allah! Bless our Sham and Yemen. They said again, Our Najd as well. On that the Prophet said, There will appear earthquakes and afflictions, and from there will come out the side of the head of Satan.

•   Quran (55:17)  (He is) Lord of the two Easts and Lord of the two Wests

This is what I understood from the Quran, if anyone has any suggestion, please share it with us. This and Allah knows best!

Peace be upon you,

The Savior:

•   Isaiah (53:6) We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Christians have misunderstood the meaning of “God has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all” and assumed that this meant a Savior who would bear our sins. The correct meaning is that God made him responsible for preaching to people the commandments of God, so we repent and do good deeds in order for God to forgive us. Evidence that Christians have misunderstood the meaning of the Savior is found in Ezekiel which says that an evil person needs to turn away from his/her sins, repent and do good deeds in order to be forgiven. God did not say that we need a Savior who takes away our sins.

•   Ezekiel (18:30) “Therefore, I will judge each of you, O people of Israel, according to your actions, says the Sovereign LORD. Repent, and turn from your sins. Don’t let them destroy you!

•   Proverbs (28:13) Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

Christians believe that because of Psalm chapter 53 and Romans (3:10-20) that says “No one is righteous, no, not one… no one does good, not even one…” and because the Bible says that all you have to be saved is faith in Jesus, so Jesus is the Savior.

•   John (3:16) “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

The meaning of “whoever believes in him shall not perish, but shall have eternal life” is that whoever believes in Jesus and follows his teachings in repentance, forsaking their sins and doing good deeds, shall have eternal life. We will also conclude that Psalm 53 and Romans (3:10-20) have been modified because they say that there is no one on earth who does any good, but prophet Abraham, Moses, Isaac, etc., did some good deeds. Although they committed some sins, but also did some good deeds, they at least preached God’s message to humanity.

The proof is in Ezekiel which says that no one will bear anyone’s sins. Each person is responsible for his/her actions. Then when the Bible says that Jesus will bear our sins, we can immediately determine that the Bible is modified because Jesus clearly testified that he did not come to destroy (change) the law but to fulfill it.

•   Matthew (5:17) Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

•   Ezekiel (18:20) The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

Then Ezekiel said that good deeds will erase your sins, and this is exactly what the Quran says. So why worry about your sins if your good deeds will erase them as long as you don't share any (such as Jesus) with God.

•   Ezekiel (18:22) None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live.

Jesus said that if you don't believe what Moses wrote, that means you don't believe in Jesus. As mentioned above, Moses wrote that no one will bear the sin of another human being. Therefore, if you believe that Jesus is your savior and will carry your sins, then this means that you don’t believe in Jesus.

•   John (5:45-47) “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. 47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”

Peace be upon you,

The Second Treatise of the Great Seth is an apocryphal Gnostic writing discovered in the Codex VII of the Nag Hammadi codices and dates to around the third century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Treatise_of_the_Great_Seth

Please note that Prophet Mohamed came during the 6th century. Therefore, The Second Treatise of the Great Seth was written before Islam.

The Second Treatise of the Great Seth says that Jesus testified that he is not the one who was put on the cross but another one. That is exactly what Quran says.
Paragraph # 10 in this link http://gnosis.org/naghamm/2seth.html
...For my death, which they think happened, (happened) to them in their error and blindness, since they nailed their man unto their death. For their Ennoias did not see me, for they were deaf and blind. But in doing these things, they condemn themselves. Yes, they saw me; they punished me. It was another, their father, who drank the gall and the vinegar; it was not I. They struck me with the reed; it was another, Simon, who bore the cross on his shoulder. I was another upon Whom they placed the crown of thorns. But I was rejoicing in the height over all the wealth of the archons and the offspring of their error, of their empty glory. And I was laughing at their ignorance.

•   Quran (4:157) And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.

Asalamo Alikum,

There is a major sin that many Muslims commit daily without their knowledge, which is overspending for no reason. This is called extravagance in Islam.

•   Quran (7:31) O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid (mosque), and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.

Please note that Allah has allowed us to enjoy our lives, and commanded us to take our adornment in praying, and to eat and drink, but also commanded us not be exaggerate.

Let me give you an example of how you may be one of the extravagances. There are a variety of cars available in the market. Some have a 4-cylinder, 1.6-liter engine, others a 6-cylinder 3.6-liter and 8-cylinder 5.3-liter, and so on. They are all beautiful and reliable cars. When you choose an expensive car whose price is more than $25,000 while you can buy a car that is worth $16,000 car, then this is called waste in Islam. Keep in mind that it will cost you more money to maintain like you will use twice as much gas for the same trip if you use a bigger engine, and the insurance will be more expensive, and so on. Please note that there are many things to name but I gave you one example to show how we waste without knowing.

Allah commanded us not to exaggerate because those who spend excessively are the brothers of Satan. This is very dangerous and Muslims should understand it carefully. Allah commanded us to help the needy instead of overspending for no reason. This means that Allah wanted us to buy the $16,000 car instead of a $25,000 car and donate the surplus money to the poor, or to keep the surplus money with our savings and at the end of the year, we have to pay 2.5% zakat (charity) on this money.

•   Quran (17:26-27) And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully. Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.

Some Muslims may argue about this and say that Allah made these beautiful things for our pleasure because of verse (7:32). But keep in mind that a $16,000 car is sometimes more beautiful and reliable than a $25,000 car.

•   Quran (7:32) Say, “Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?” Say, “They are for those who believe during the worldly life [but] exclusively for them on the Day of Resurrection.” Thus do We detail the verses for a people who know.

They may argue about this as well and say that Allah told Qarun to enjoy his life as long as he helps the needy.

•   Quran (28:77) But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allah has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters."

So they may argue that they help the needy and want to enjoy life and buy anything expensive. But keep in mind that Allah said that He created these expensive and beautiful things to test us, not to enjoy us.

•   Quran (18:7) Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.

Allah also commanded Muslims not to even look at these enjoyment categories, because Allah said that He is testing them and He will crush them.

•   Quran (20:131) And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring. 

Allah has clearly told us that He will ask us what blessings He has given us and what we have done with them.

•   Quran (102:8) Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons

Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) said, Man’s feet will not move on the Day of Resurrection before he is asked about four things: his life and how did he consume it; his body and how did he use it; his knowledge and what he did with it; and his wealth and how he earned it and spent it.

Can you stand the heat of hot weather for 5 minutes, so remember that every day in the fire of hell is equivalent to 1000 years of our time on earth?

If this post makes sense to you, please share it on your social media because you don’t know which good deed will help you go to heaven.

GENERAL TOPICS | BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS / Is alcohol forbidden in Islam?
« on: July 23, 2022, 05:09:23 PM »
Peace be upon you,

When God decided to forbid alcohol, He first commanded that you do not pray if you are drunk until you know what you say in the prayer. This is because God wanted to teach those who drink excessively to gradually reduce the amount of alcohol they consumed at one time between each prayer of the five daily prayers. 

•   Quran (4:43) O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying…

Then God said that there is a great sin and some benefit in alcohol. The benefit that God intended is the money that they earn from selling the alcohol. However, God first said that there is a great sin then He said some benefit which means there is a great punishment in hellfire.

•   Quran (2:219) They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit."…

Then God said that drinking alcohol is the work of Satan, so avoid it. Some Muslims question the prohibition of alcohol because God said in Arabic “aj-taneb-oh” which means avoid it, and had it not been that God intended to forbid it, He would have said “haram” which means forbidden. Well, please note that God said in this verse that drinking alcohol is the work of Satan, and in another verse, God said, don’t follow the footsteps of Satan. Therefore, alcohol is completely prohibited.

•   Quran (5:90) O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants… are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.

•   Quran (24:21) O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing…

The Bible says that little wine is good for your health. But doctors prove that drinking ONLY one glass of alcohol a day will cause cancer. This proves that the Bible is incorrect and modified.

•   1 Timothy (5:23) Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities

Please click on this link to read that drinking ONLY one glass of alcohol a day will cause cancer
https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=little+alcohol+causes+cancer&docid=608044765397458703&mid=A1AB54C7D22A450CEEE0A1AB54C7D22A450CEEE0&view=detail&FORM=VIRE

On the other hand, there is another verse in the Bible that says that wine is not good. As you can see these verses in the Bible contradict themselves.

•   Romans 14:21 - It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

Bloomberg News says excess alcohol consumption cost the U.S. economy a quarter-trillion dollars in 2010… because of crimes, car accidents, defects in production, divorce, cost of hospitals and medicine for health concerns, debt, homelessness, and so on.

https://www.bing.com/search?q=cost+of+excessive+alcohol+consumption+in+USA+is+250+billion+dollars+a+year&cvid=16130116ac004addbdb75ae6a6d98ebe&aqs=edge..69i57.34053j0j4&FORM=ANAB01&PC=U531

Christians will dispute this and say that the Bible says “little alcohol” while those who cost the US economy $250 billion in waste annually are consuming “excess alcohol.” Well, let me tell you that every heavy alcohol drinker on earth started with very little but continued to increase gradually until they became an alcoholic.

God said in Quran that when the wicked commit immoral things, they say that God commanded it. But God answered that He does not command $250 billion in waste annually and cancer. Please note that the $250 billion in waste annually is found only in the USA in 2010, not including waste in the rest of the world. Imagine that this wasted money could eradicate poverty on earth. 

•   Quran (7:28) And when they commit an immorality, they say, "We found our fathers doing it, and Allah has ordered us to do it." Say, "Indeed, Allah does not order immorality. Do you say about Allah that which you do not know?"

If this report makes sense to you, please share it on your social media accounts because God said that those who forbid what is wrong will succeed.

•   Quran (3:104) And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful.

May God guide all of us to the straight path,

Asalmo Alaikum,

As we all know that most Sheikh(s) “Imams” receive a monthly wage from a government or other sources for teaching Quran. So, I decided to remind you that Allah has forbidden anyone from earning a penny from teaching Quran.

Allah said that whoever conceals anything from Quran and exchanges it for a small price will have a painful punishment in hellfire. This is for those who don’t teach Quran until they get paid.

•   Quran (2:174) Indeed, they who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and exchange it for a small price - those consume not into their bellies except the Fire. And Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. And they will have a painful punishment.

Allah commanded Muslims to follow those who do NOT ask for any payment. This means that Muslims should study Quran through those who do not charge any money. Allah said that those who don’t ask for any payment are the guided ones. Therefore, those who ask for payment are not guided. As we all know, Satan and the disbelievers are the ones who are not guided.

•   Quran (36:21) Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided.

Prophet (PBUH) said that whoever studies Quran with the intention that he will use this knowledge to find a job and earn money will never smell paradise.

•   Narrated by Abu Dawood, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: He who learns knowledge of that (Quran) which seeks the Mighty Allah, does not learn it except to earn some worldly benefits with it, he will not find the fragrance of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection, meaning its smell.

Prophet (PBUH) also warned that people will come in the future who will teach Quran and will ask people to pay them.

•   On the authority of Imran bin Husayn, that he passed by a reciter reciting (Quran), then he asked (for money), and he returned (back the money to people), then he said: I heard Prophet (PBUH) saying: Whoever recites the Quran, let him ask Allah with it, for there will come people who will recite the Quran and they will ask people with it.

Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) did not allow a man to take a bow from teaching Quran, although his intention was that he wanted to use the bow to fight for the sake of Allah to defend Muslims from the aggressors.

•   Ubadah bin al-Samit said: I taught some people from among the people of the “Sifah” the Book and the Quran, and one of them gave me a bow, so I said: “It is not money, and I throw with it away for the sake of Allah”. So, I will go to the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) and will ask him. So, I said: O Prophet, a man who I taught the Book and the Quran gave me a bow, and it is not money, and I will use it to throw with it away for the sake of Allah. Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) said: If you like to be surrounded by a rope of fire (on the Day of Judgment) then accept it.

After all of these verses and Hadith(s), I am astonished that most Sheikh(s) “Imams” receive a monthly wage from a government or other sources for teaching Quran. The excuse of those who receive payments from teaching the Quran is that Imam Al-Shafi’i allowed earning money from teaching Quran. My first question is who Imam Al-Shafi’I is? He is a man like me and you, and he is not a prophet. All men err, and when we find any mistake, we should correct it, not follow it blindly. My second question is how you know that it is not that the enemy of Islam wrote this and attached it to his books. It does not make any sense to me that Imam Al-Shafi’i read these verses from Quran and Hadith(s) from the Prophet(s) and issued such a fatwa (decision).

Also, the excuse of those who receive payment for teaching Quran is this fabricated Hadith:

•   Ibn Abbas said some of the Prophet’s companions passed a watering-place where there was one who had been stung by a scorpion or bitten by a snake. One of the inhabitants of the watering-place accosted them and asked whether anyone among them could apply a charm, for at the watering-place there was a man who had been stung by a scorpion or bitten by a snake. One of them went and recited chapter Al-Fatihat from Quran in return for some sheep, and he was cured; but when he brought the sheep to his companions they disapproved of that saying, “You have taken payment for God’s Book.” When they came to Medina and told God’s Messenger that he had taken payment for God’s Book, he replied, “The most worthy thing for which you have taken payment is God’s Book.”

Glory be to Allah, how could it be possible that the Prophet (PBUH) said in three Hadith(s) that anyone who receives any payment from reciting/teaching Quran will never enter paradise and then he said in this Hadith that it’s the best thing you do is to receive money from reciting Quran. This Hadith clearly contradicts the other Hadith(s). If we return to Quran to find out whether this Hadith is correct or not, we will find out that it is incorrect because Allah said in Quran that an ill person needs medicine to be cured and the medicine that Allah mentioned in Quran is honey. Allah did not say that we need to read Quran to cure an ill person.

•   Quran (16:69) Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.

In fact, the Prophet (PBUH) instructed people to eat honey when they are ill. He did not instruct them to read Quran.

•   A man came to the Prophet and said: My brother is suffering from loose bowels. Prophet said: Let him drink honey. So he drank it. Then he came and said: O Messenger of Allah! He has drunk honey, but it has only made him worse. So the Messenger of Allah said: Let him drink honey. So he drank it. Then he came and said: O Messenger of Allah! I gave him some more to drink, but it has only made him worse. The Messenger of Allah said: Allah has told the truth, and your brother’s stomach has lied. Give him honey to drink. So he gave him some more honey to drink and he was cured.

Also, the excuse of those who earn money from teaching the Quran is that today there is a necessity because people are poor and they don’t have time to work and teach Quran. My first question is why do they need time to preach Quran? Anyone in the mosque can lead the five daily prayers, and the Sheikh “Imam” only has to deliver the Friday ceremony which is half an hour, and one hour to prepare for it. Do they consider one and half hours in a week something hard. Any Sheikh has an hour every day to volunteer teaching Quran after evening prayer and on weekends. I bet you that they spend hours and hours on TV every day. 

The only time a Sheikh “Imam” is allowed to earn money from teaching Quran is that he is very serious looking for any job to earn lawful money but unable to find one, then in this situation, he would be allowed to receive Zakah “charity” because he is poor. His intention should be that he is receiving Zakah, not wage from teaching Quran.

If you read Quran, all prophets never received any money from teaching the Book of Allah, they all had jobs. Some Sheikh(s) ask how then Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) used to make a living if he did not earn money from teaching Quran. Well, Prophet Mohamed’s (PBUH) wife Khadijah was a very wealthy woman and she gave him all her money when he became a prophet to help him spread Islam on earth. After 10 years of becoming a Prophet, Allah authorized him to fight the aggressors who used to attack him and allowed him to take their wealth “Ganimah” when he defeated them. Allah allowed one-fifth for the Prophet and the poor as a wage from the war booty “Ganimah”. In this situation, the Prophet was working as a soldier not sitting in an office collecting donations for his monthly wage.

•   Quran (8:41) And know that anything you obtain of war booty - then indeed, for Allah is one fifth of it and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and the orphans, the needy, and the [stranded] traveler, if you have believed in Allah and in that which We sent down to Our Servant on the day of criterion - the day when the two armies met. And Allah, over all things, is competent.

This is proof that Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) never received any money from teaching Quran:

•   Quran (68:46) Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

I hope you understand now why Allah made Muslims slaves on earth and everyone is killing them. May Allah guide all of us to the straight path,

Peace be upon you,

The marriage process of the majority of Muslims in Lebanon, Egypt, Pakistan, and India does not comply with Islamic Sharia’h and therefore God does not accept it.

God commanded a Muslim man in Quran to marry one of his believing maids whom he possesses if he can’t afford to marry a free-believing woman. This means that marrying a free-believing woman is more expensive than a slave-believing woman. However, there are no slaves anymore because Islam came to abolish slavery and equalize between people. 

•   Quran (4:25) If any of you cannot afford to marry a free believing woman let him marry one of his believing maids whom he possesses. God best knows your faith. You are one of another. So marry them with their owners permission, and give them their dower according to what is fair

But God commanded two conditions for the marriage to be valid and acceptable. The first condition is that we must have consent from the parents (guardians), and the second condition is that we must pay their dowry in a reasonable manner. This means that the man is responsible for all expenses.

However, the majority of Muslims in Lebanon, Egypt, Pakistan, and India give the bride a necklace and a ring as a dowry and force her to buy some furniture and clothes and to pay for the cost of the party. In this case, the marriage is invalid and the relationship of the husband and wife is one of adultery, and their children are children of adultery.

The excuse of those who practice this doctrine is that in Islam there is a so-called necessity such as during hardship, it’s permissible to modify God’s law. For example, if you have to eat pork or you die, then it is permissible to eat pork. Thus, a Muslim man today has difficulty bearing all the expenses of the marriage alone, in this case, it is permissible for him to share some of the expenses with the wife.

But they are ignorant that God said in the Quran that a man should refrain from marriage until God enriches him from His bounty. This means that a man is not allowed to ask his wife to help him. If a man is not able to afford all the expenses of marriage, he is not allowed to marry and has to wait until he is capable.

•   Quran (24:33) But let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty…

Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) commanded a man to fast if he couldn’t afford the expenses of marriage. The Prophet did not command the man to ask alimony from the wife.

•   Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) said, O young men, those of you who can support a wife should marry, for it (marriage) controls the gaze and preserves one from immorality. And whoever cannot (marry) should fast, for it is a means of reducing the sexual desire.

God said in Quran that it is not permissible for anyone to modify what God and His prophet have decided in a matter, and whoever does, then has strayed into clear error.

•   Quran (33:36) It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.

Please send this post to all your friends in these countries because Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) said whosoever of you sees an evil must change it.

•   Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) said: “Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart - and that is the weakest of faith.”

GENERAL TOPICS | BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS / What is Islam
« on: June 30, 2022, 07:24:09 PM »
Peace be upon you,

   Muslims believe that God is One, He is the Self-sufficient One, He begets not, and neither is He begotten, and there is nothing like Him.

Muslims believe that God is not Jesus. Muslims believe that Jesus is one of the Prophets of God. Muslims know God by His 99 names. To name some, the Almighty, the Forgiving, the Generous, the Merciful, Harsh in punishing those who disobey Him, the Compassionate, the Loving, etc. God is completely different than all His creatures.

In Islam, God does not expect people to be perfect, but He expects them to keep asking for forgiveness when they sin. This does not mean that a person can sin intentionally and at any time and all they have to do is ask for forgiveness, it means for those who sin unintentionally. All sinners have to say, “O God, forgive me” but must be sincere and intend to do their best not to sin again, but we will continue to sin. So, we have to keep asking for forgiveness and to do our best to repent.

•   Prophet Mohamed said: Every son of Adam repeatedly sins, and the best of those who sin are those who regularly repent. He also said, By the One in whose hand is my soul, if you did not sin, God would replace you with people who would sin, and they would seek forgiveness from God and He would forgive them.

Muslims believe that God will count a sin as one point and a good deed as 10 points. For example, if you say good morning to your children or neighbour, you will receive 10 credits. If you cook food for yourself or your family, you will receive 10 credits. But if you don’t feed the dog and keep him hungry, you will lose one credit. In this case, don’t you think that God is very Merciful in Islam? Muslims also believe that good deeds will wipe off bad deeds.

•   Quran (6:16) Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have ten times the like thereof [to his credit], and whoever comes with an evil deed will not be recompensed except the like thereof; and they will not be wronged.

•   Quran (11:114) And establish the prayer (at the) two ends (of) the day and (at) the approach of the night. Indeed, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That (is) a reminder for those who remember.

Only in the case when a Muslim helps those who are in need and donate to them, they will receive 700 credits and God may increase their rewards. What’s more mercy would you expect than 700 credits for only helping those in need e.g. giving a poor a sandwich or a glass of water.

•   Quran (2:261) The example of those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah is that of a grain that sprouts into seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains. And Allah multiplies the reward even more to whoever He wills. For Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing.

•   Prophet Mohamed said: Save yourself from the hell fire even with half a date (to be given in charity) and if you do not find a half date, then with a good pleasant word.

   Non-Muslims believe that Muslims want to force Islam unto everyone. This is completely incorrect. In fact Muslims are not allowed to enforce Islam unto anyone. It’s either a person accepts Islam willingly and for the love of God or God does not want them. God said in Quran that there shall be no compulsion in religion.

•   Quran (2:256) There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way.
Whoever renounces evil and believes in God has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. God is Hearing and Knowing.

God told Muslims in Quran to remind non-Muslims only, and we are not controllers over them. This means that we are not allowed to force them unto Islam. God alone will punish those who disbelieve. Muslims are not allowed to punish or kill those who refuse to accept Islam as a religion.

•   Quran (88:21 - 24) So remind, [O Muhammad]; you are only a reminder. You are not over them a controller. However, he who turns away and disbelieves - Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment.

God also said that we are allowed to explain Islam to non-Muslims in nice manner only, and whoever wills, let him believe, and whoever wills, let him disbelieve. God alone will punish those who disbelieve, not Muslims.
 
•   Quran (16:125) Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good advice, and debate with them in the most dignified manner. Your Lord is aware of those who stray from His path, and He is aware of those who are guided.

•   Quran (18:29) And say, “The truth is from your Lord. Whoever wills-let him believe. And whoever wills-let him disbelieve”. We have prepared for the unjust a Fire, whose curtains will hem them in. And when they cry for relief, they will be relieved with water like molten brass, which scalds the faces. What a miserable drink, and what a terrible place.

   Non-Muslims believe that Muslims believe in “Jihad” i.e. killing non-Muslims. This is completely incorrect. The meaning of “Jihad” is to do your best to achieve the best result in anything you do i.e. when you work for your employer, you must do your best to do a good job; if anyone attacks you, you must do your best to fight to defend yourself; and so on. Muslims don’t believe in killing innocent people regardless of their religion. Islamic law allows the use of force in self-defence and in defence of those who are oppressed and unable to defend themselves only. If Muslims initiate the fight, God will not love them and will be destroyed in hellfire forever.

•   Quran (2:190) Fight in the way of God against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! God loveth not aggressors.

When Muslims fight the aggressors for self-defence and if they ask for peace in the middle of the battle, Muslims should incline towards peace and cease the fight.

•   Quran (8:61) But if they incline towards peace, then incline towards it, and put your trust in God. He is the Hearer, the Knower.

If Muslims begin fight or kill deliberately innocent person for no reason, God will punish them in hellfire forever.

•   Quran (4:93) Whoever kills a believer deliberately, the penalty for him is Hell, where he will remain forever. And God will be angry with him, and will curse him, and will prepare for him a terrible punishment.

You may ask why then Muslims keep fighting and kill each other as we see on TV. Please note that those are NOT Muslims. They are the enemies of Islam and hate Muslims so they use Islam in their fights to damage our reputation.

   Non-Muslims believe that when Prophet Mohamed was weak in Makkah, he preached about peace, but in Medina, as he gained power, he changed his approach to military. This is completely incorrect because Quran was sent to be a solution to mankind to all times until the day of judgement, not only to Mohamed’s time. Quran was NOT sent completely to Mohamed at one time. Verses of Quran were revealed to Mohamed gradually based on the challenges he used to deal with. In Medina God commanded him to fight those who attacked him for self-defence. He had a small army and he used to fight huge armies and God protected him at all times. While God said to Moses in the Torah that if a liar claimed to be a prophet, God will kill him. Quran from beginning to end is about peace, relationships, fighting the enemy if they begin hostile without killing innocent people, animals, gardens, etc.

You may ask about verse (9:5) which Muhammad was told to slay the idolaters wherever he finds them. Please note that God is talking in this verse about the polytheists who made a treaty with Mohamed that they will not fight against him, but they broke their covenant and betrayed him and fought against him and killed many of his followers. So, God commanded Mohamed to slay them wherever he finds them because God knows they are not trustworthy. But if the innocent among them ask for protection, God commended Mohamed to grant them protection. So, please understand that this is not for all mankind. This is the proof:

•   Quran (9:4) Excepted are those with whom you made a treaty among the polytheists and then they have not been deficient toward you in anything or supported anyone against you; so complete for them their treaty until their term [has ended]. Indeed, Allah loves the righteous [who fear Him].

Then God said in next verse to kill the polytheists wherever you find them. This is because in previous verse God said “if they don’t violate the treaty or support anyone against you”, but they violated it.

•   Quran (9:5) And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Then God commanded Mohamed in next verse to protect those who don’t violate the treaty from the polytheists.

•   Quran (9:6) And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know.

   You may also ask about verse (9:29) which says Muslims are to fight against those to whom the Scriptures “Bible and Torah” were given until they pay tribute.

Please note that this verse was revealed because Jews and Christians refused to pay taxes to the city. The city needs to pay for cleaning roads, police, welfare for all religions, and so on. Then God commended Mohamed to fight them until they pay the taxes. Please note that God said to fight them until they pay the tribute, He did not say until you SLAY them. There is nothing wrong for asking citizens to pay tax and if they refuse, the government should impose fine against them or imprison them. This happened everywhere on earth today.

•   Quran (9:29) Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture [Torah and Bible] - [fight] until they give the jizyah [tribute] willingly while they are humbled.

You may wonder why only Christians and Jews have to pay jizyah (tax). This is because Muslims have to pay Zakah, 2.5% of their wealth tax. If Christians and Jews pay the taxes, Prophet Mohamed is not allowed to fight them or enforce them to accept Islam. He is only allowed to preach Quran in good manners as I explained above.

   You may also ask about verse (8:39) which says that after winning a crucial battle, Muhammad received instruction from God that permanently authorizes holy wars to spread Islam. Please note that in this verse, God is talking about those who hinder people from praying at the sacred Mosque (Ka’ba), and those who pay their money to hinder people from the way of God. This is not for all mankind. 

•   Quran (8:33) But what plea have they that Allah should not punish them, when they keep out (men) from the sacred Mosque - and they are not its guardians? No men can be its guardians except the righteous; but most of them do not understand.

•   Quran (8:35) The unbelievers spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the path of Allah and so will they continue to spend; but in the end they will have (only) regrets and sighs; at length they will be overcome: and the Unbelievers will be gathered together to Hell.

•   Quran (8:37) Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from unbelief) their past would be forgiven them; but if they persist the punishment of those before them is already (a matter of warning for them)

•   Quran (8:38) And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.

•   Quran (8:39) If they refuse, be sure that Allah is your protector the Best to protect and the Best to help.

   In fact, God wants Muslims to be friends with all mankind regardless of their religion and to be just when dealing with them as long as they don’t fight us in order to encourage them to read the Quran.

•   Quran (60:8) Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.

Please note that God said in Quran He sent Prophet Mohamed to be a mercy to mankind to save them from hellfire, not to kill them. But those who rejected him and attacked him, God commanded him to fight them for self-defence.

•   Quran (21:107) And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.

   There are five pillars of Islam:

1.   For anyone to be a Muslim, they must believe in their heart and say in their tongue the testimony (Al-shahadah): I testify that there is no god but one God, and I testify that Mohamed is His prophet,

2.   Five daily prayers (each takes an average of 8 minutes, morning, noon, afternoon, evening, and night)
If anyone is disabled, they must pray while sleeping in bed or sitting in a chair but can’t ignore it.

3.   Fasting one month in Ramadan from sunrise till sunset, no food, drink, or sex during this time. If a person is sick and can’t fast, they must fast the missing days after Ramadan. If a person is sick for serious reasons and can’t fast, they shouldn’t fast but must feed one poor person for every missing day (average $10 a day). If a person is sick and does not have money, God will not hold them liable. 

4.   Zakah (paying charity): every year Muslims must pay 2.5% of their savings above $10,000 to the poor. Necessities like house, car, furniture, etc are not included, only savings.

5.   Pilgrimage: any person who is physically and financially capable of undertaking a journey to Makkah “Saudi Arabia” must do so only once in their lifetime. If incapable, God will not hold them liable.

   The reason God prescribed five prayers to Muslims every few hours a day is to keep reminding them to stay away of evil i.e. to remind them not to cheat, murder, harass people, etc. and to remind them to keep the commandments of God i.e. donate to charity, act justly, be dedicated at work, etc. It’s like an alarm, we set up the alarm at certain time to help us wake up on time and avoid being late. God said in Quran that the purpose of prayer is to prohibit immorality and wrongdoing.

•   Quran (29:45) Recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do.

   The reason God prescribed fasting to Muslims in Ramadan from sunrise till sunset from food, water, and sex is to make them taste the suffering of hunger and thirst to help them remember that there are poor people who are also suffering from hunger so we help them by donating money, food, clothes, protection, etc. The meaning of Ramadan is a name of an Arabic month, like in English January, February, etc. Some people may think that fasting 15 hours a day is impossible, but when you fast for the love of God and fear from God, He will make fasting extremely easy for you and you will never feel tired. God said in Quran that the purpose of fasting is that you may become righteous.

•   Quran (2:183) O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.

Then God said in Quran that we will never achieve righteousness until we donate to the poor from our money.

•   Quran (3:92) You will never achieve righteousness until you donate some of what you cherish. And whatever you give is certainly well known to Allah.

•   Prophet Mohamed said, whoever observes fasts during the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah’s rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven.

   The reason that God prescribed to Muslims to pay Zakah (charity) is to purify them and delete their sins and cause their wealth to increase. When we donate to the poor, God will help us find a better job with better pay, so our incomes increase.

•   Quran (9:103) Take, [O, Muhammad], from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase, and invoke [Allah’s blessings] upon them. Indeed, your invocations are reassurance for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

   There are six pillars of belief:

1.   Muslims believe in one God, who is not Jesus, we don’t associate any partner with Him i.e. God has no son,

2.   And His angels,

3.   And all His prophets from Adam… Abraham… Jesus… until the last prophet Mohamed. We are not allowed to make distinction between any of them. We should treat all of them in the same manner we treat Mohamed.

4.   And all the books that God sent to mankind i.e. Torah for Prophet Moses (some of it are currently modified), Bible for Prophet Jesus (some of it are currently modified), and Quran for Prophet Mohamed (which God promised to protect it from modifications till the end of the world). Please click this link
https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/07/22/oldest-quran-manuscript-found-orig.cnn/video/playlists/the-quran/ to watch non-Muslims from England who tested the original copy of Quran that was written more than 1400 years and compared it to the current copy of Quran that we have today and found it to be the same.

5.   And the unseen (we don’t know the future, whatever happens, is the will of God whether good or not, and we must accept it and be grateful to God even if it’s not good),

6.   And the Day of Judgment, people will go to either hellfire or heaven forever. There will be no savoir. Every human is responsible for their doings.

   There are many scientific miracles knowledge in Quran that was recently discovered with technology that was not available during the time of Prophet Mohamed. To name few, there are two seas in the same sea that meet together but there is a barrier between them and the water of each sea does not merge with the other. Today, scientists discovered that there are two oceans in the Gulf of Alaska that meet but never mix.

•   Quran (55:19-20) He has made the two seas to flow freely (so that) they meet together. Between them is a barrier which they cannot pass

   God said in Quran that there are 7 layers of heaven and 7 layers of earth. Scientists discovered today that there are seven layers of earth. For more information about other miracles, please read Quran.

•   Quran (65:12) It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them…

•   Quran (71:15) Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers.

   The question is how Mohamed knew these miracles? Non-Muslims believe that the bad angels or Satan passed these secrets to Mohamed so people may believe that he is a prophet. But, when Mohamed told people about these miracles, the disbelievers mocked him and accused him that he is crazy. Therefore, if Satan is the one who passed these secrets to Mohamed, he did not benefit anything because these secrets discouraged people from believing Mohamed because he did not have any technology to prove it, and they thought he is crazy.

•   Quran (15:6) And they say, O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.

The next question is how these bad angels or Satan foreseen the future and knew that a day will come unto people and invent technology that will prove these miracles if the Bible says that no one has the power to predict and reveal future events or know what tomorrow holds except God alone.

•   Revelation (5:2-3) And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.

•   Matthew (24:36) But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

This is to prove that God is the one who told Prophet Mohamed about theses miracles.
