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

Indeed my dear brother.  The Lord Messiah, Jesus, is indeed the way, the Truth and the Life to the hypocrites from the phariseas and others who were corrupt and needed salvation.  After all, Christ is the King of the Jews, and the Messiah.  Islam doesn't deny that.

Mathe 7:7,8
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Mathew 5:43-44
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Thank you, dear brother, for the kind and refreshing Commandments from the Prince of Peace and Love.  The Glorious Quran also gives recognition to the exceptional love that the Lord Messiah, Jesus, taught his followers and transformed them into:

[005:082]  Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

One and Only Son, my dear brother, means the most beloved one, by Allah Almighty, from among all of the Righteous Servants of Allah Almighty.  This is clearly spelled out in the New Testament.  Please visit: www.answering-christianity.com/convert_christians.htm for more details.

Please feel free to reply if you have any comments or questions. May Almighty God bless you.

Thank you again for the kind words, dear brother.  You know, when I first established the website back in 1999, I used to have a message on the main page that said: "I love Christians and I have nothing against them."  But then as things got hostile and bitter between us and the anti-Islamics, that message was removed a year or so later.  It is folks like you who always give hope that we can all coexist in peace, to the whole world.  Indeed, Christians like you are full of Geniune Love.  Allah Almighty made it very clear for us, Muslims, in the Glorious Quran.

The Lord Jesus Christ is certainly my Lord and Messiah.  I give my full allegiance to him, if he were to return today, and I would obey him to the death.  But he is most certainly not my Creator.

Take care, and may Allah Almighty bless you.  Ameen.

As'salamu Alaikum Everyone,

I often hear criticism about Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and Islam using the following Noble Verse:

‏33:50 ياايهاالنبي انا احللنا لك ازواجك اللاتي اتيت اجورهن وماملكت يمينك مما افاء الله عليك وبنات عمك وبنات عماتك وبنات خالك وبنات خالاتك التي هاجرن معك وامراة مؤمنة ان وهبت نفسها للنبي ان اراد النبي ان يستنكحها خالصة لك من دون المؤمنين قد علمنا مافرضنا عليهم في ازواجهم وماملكت ايمانهم لكيلا يكون عليك حرج وكان الله

[033:050]  O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her -- specially for you, not for the (rest of) believers; We know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

As you can see, I have crossed "to marry" in the English translation of the Noble Verse, because the Noble Verse doesn't explicitly speak about marriage.  The single women who gives herself to the Prophet, can be taken by him as either a wife or a harem or right hand possession.  The Noble Verse doesn't invalidate any marriage if the Prophet, peace be upon him, chose to marry her.  But the unmarried woman in either case must be the one who approaches the Prophet, by her free will and without any compulsion, and to offer herself to him for either marriage, or become a harem.

So what does the Bible say about this?  Is this practice for the Prophets praised in the Bible?

Answer:  The Bible has almost the same exact practice for the annointed Kings and Priests.  And the preferred women for them are virgins.  Though non-virgins would also suffice, but virgins were the most preferred.  And this practice was praised by GOD Almighty, and not condemned.  Let us examine the following verses: 1 Kings 1:1-3, 2 Kings 19:21, Esther 2:2-3, Psalm 45:14, Song of Songs 1:3, Song of Songs 6:8.

Furthermore, only virgin slave girls were spared for Moses' (peace be upon him) men after the battle was won.  The non-virgin girls and women, and all of the males were put to death.  Visit: www.answering-christianity.com/age3.htm.

Also, Prophets had 100% control over everything: http://www.answering-christianity.com/muhammads_share.htm#preists_share.

Also, men in general are allowed to marry an unlimited amount of women in the Bible's Old and New Testaments: www.answering-christianity.com/ntpoly.htm.

So if Allah Almighty wanted to give special status for Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, to either marry or take as harem any single woman who may offer herself to him, then why should this be something bad?

I hope this helps, insha'Allah.

Peace be upon you Jesus,

Welcome to the board.  I ask Allah Almighty that you'll get all of your answers here, and that the Almighty further lead you to the Light of Islam.  Ameen.

Thank you for your post.  I will go through it and reply to you, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing), when my time permits.  Several of the folks on this board have addressed me before and never got an answer back.  I sincerely apologize to everyone.  It's just I get far too busy sometimes .

Feel free to engage freely and speak your mind freely.  We welcome all point of views here.

Take care and welcome, brother.

But i read in another article you said that adam and eve had sex in paradise.

Of course they had sex, dear brother.  The research here proves that Mankind wasn't just merely created from sex and pregnancy only.  At one point, Allah Almighty took from the existing few People of Adam (Adam's direct children; no incest), and exploded their numbers into the multitudes and nations and tribes and families that humanity is made of today.

That's what Noble Verse 7:172 seems to clearly suggest:

7:172 واذ اخذ ربك من بني ادم من ظهورهم ذريتهم

[007:172]  When thy Lord took (اخذ) from the Children of Adam - from their loins backs (ظهورهم)- their descendants.....

And again, cloning is not a foreign concept in the Glorious Quran.  Satan's final battle with GOD Almighty is to cause mankind to "cut the cattle's ears and alter the creation of Allah Almighty" (4:119), i.e., cloning (as this is how it began today).

I hope this helps, insha'Allah.

I also just remembered something:

While being suspended above the vast roaring sea of Hell lava, and the nearest land was a mountain (maybe two) that was far far far far away, and there was nothing but the vast sea all around me when I looked 360 degrees around myself, I remember me telling myself in the dream (while shivering from fear): "I didn't fall".  Or "You didn't fall".  It was one of the two.  It did dawn on me, and it did occur to me that I actually did not fall.  And then the dream ended.  It wasn't like I was free falling and then woke up.  No!  I did come to a complete sudden stop.  And I wasn't hurt.  I was full of fear and shivering, and my teeth were chattering, but I didn't get hurt.  And I actually stayed long enough to ponder upon what I was above.  I took the 360 degree view all around myself.  I had all of these seconds to do all of this while being fully stopped and fully safely suspended.  That I guarantee you that it did happen in the dream.  Wallahi with all honesty.  By Allah Almighty's Holy Name, this is what happened.

I hope this helps, insha'Allah.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers,

As in one of brother's Sama's, Dr. Zakir Naik thoroughly demonstrated many of the Bible's scientific blunders during his debate with Dr. William Campbell.  The videos of the debate can be downloaded at:
