HAMAS-JEWISH WAR: 
Contrary to popular perception and pronouncement, Hamas did not start this war. This war (and all Arab-Jewish wars) was started in the 19th Century when Zionist Jews began scheming to dispossess Palestinians of their lands to populate it with Jews to set up their state; this war was started in 1917 when Britain promised Jews a homeland in Palestine; this war was started in 1947 when America and the League of Nations (present-day United Nations) gave Jews more than half of Palestine.

At the time of Partition of Palestine, Jews were about 30 percent of the population and owned LESS than six percent of land. Yet the partition scheme gave Jews 55-56 percent of land, Palestinians 42-43 percent and 1-2 percent for an international sector.
No king or queen or president or prime minister or premier or mayor or minister or chancellor or prince or pauper or student or principal or writer would accept this barefaced thievery of his land and not fight it in every way and in any way he and she can.

A country is not dissected because one sector does not wish to live with the “other” or because they desire their own state. If past or present ownership to a piece of land constitutes the right to secede from the whole, or if a country is dissected because one sector does not wish to live with the “other,” or dissected along sectist, racial and theological lines, or for want of their own state, many a country might now be standing in rumps.
Whoever does not wish to live with the “other” must leave!

What would you do if your government forcibly gives half of your house to a homeless man and whereas that man is permitted to have his brother to live with him you are not permitted to have your brother live with you? –whereas a Palestinian born in Jaffa is a refugee, a Jew born anywhere in the world can live in Palestine.    This is the grotesque obscenity that Palestinians are forced to accept.
Those who criticize and condemn Palestinians for fighting occupation and theft of their lands must give half of their property to the homeless and half of their country to the natives or ethnic sector for their State; they must suffer what the Palestinians have suffered and endure what the Palestinians are enduring and accept what the Palestinians are forced to accept.  

Aside from killing innocents or take them hostages –and Jews have their mega share of killing innocents: “official Israeli military policy has been to attack Arab civilians en masse”, as we are now witnessing in Gaza, and operating “death squads” https://merip.org/1992/09/yitzhak-rabin-and-israels-death-squads/; “Israel” hijacked a Syrian jet in 1954 to take “hostages” to trade for Jewish prisoners (Noam Chomsky, Pirates and Emperors, Old and New, International terrorism in the Real World, pp. 66. A must read book to know about “Israel’s” atrocities you do not hear about on the news)– no self-respecting man and woman familiar with the partition of Palestine will condemn Hamas/Palestinians for fighting to regain their stolen land and overthrow the occupier. To condemn Hamas/ Palestinians would be to condemn one’s own self.

In the annals of modern history no people has suffered so much and for so long as Palestinians have suffered and continue to suffer for seven torturous decades now.  If there is any cause on which to immortalize our names it is the cause of the Palestinians. Justice demands that every grain of sand of Palestine stolen in 1947 be returned to Palestinians!
Jews have a right to be in Palestine, not the state.

If Palestinian is “terrorist” for liberating their stolen/occupied land then
   –Britain must be terrorist for liberating the disputed Falkland Islands from the Argentines in 1982
   –America and coalition must be terrorist for liberating Kuwait from Iraq.  (Though Kuwait was a part of Iraq before it was carved out by the British in 1921)
   –the Allies of World war II must be terrorist for liberating France from Germany
   –Canada must be terrorist for liberating herself from American takeover in 1812
  –Ukraine must be terrorist for fighting to liberate herself from Russian takeover.  
   The occupied has every “right” and all rights to “retaliate” in “defense” and reclaim his property. While the occupier may fight back (as is the natural instinct)  the occupier has no “right” or “right to retaliate” or “right to self-defense”, he being the transgressor to begin with –a robber may fight back but he has no “right” and no “right to retaliate” and no “right to defense” and break the arm of his victim when his victim turns on him.
   “Right” and “right to retaliate” and “right to defense” is for victims. In the Palestinian-Jewish divide, Palestinians is the victim.

Significantly, whereas Palestinian freedom-fighters is labeled terrorist. “Israel” stands on the very foundation of “terrorism”, as admitted to by Menachem Begin, a former Jewish Prime Minister, and leader of the Irgun that massacred “Three hundred persons” “without any military reason or provocation of any kind; old men, women, children, newly-born”
   Regarding this massacre at Deir Yassin on April 9, 1948, Menachem Begin wrote in his book The Revolt, Story of the Irgun: “The massacre was not only justified, but there would not have been a state of Israel without the victory at Deir Yassin.(Murdering old men, women, children, newly-born” is  “victory?)
   However, the “Revised Edition” titled The Revolt (1983) does not have this declaration by Begin; it states in footnote that this massacre at Deir Yassin was an “Arab…propaganda to smear the Irgun.….The “Dir Yassin Massacre” lie is still propagated by Jew-haters all over the world.”
   But the Deir Yassin massacre could not be “a lie” when Begin himself declared that there was a massacre. (Seems those who charge others as revising history are the biggest culprits).

Hamas/Palestinians are not only fighting to liberate their land stolen from them, they are also fighting occupation. As one individual (online) said, If you have a heart you will cry for the Palestinians.
British mathematician and philosopher, Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) aptly puts it:

“The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign Power to another people for the creation of a new State. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless.
With every new conflict their number have increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty? It is abundantly clear that the refugees have every right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict.
No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? (Emphasis, color added).
“How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty” against Palestinians? “How much longer”, indeed!  (For details and more on the Scriptural history and political history of Palestine, see Palestine–gift to Jews or Muslims?
(Like the Holocaust, the Partition of Palestine (1899-1948) is to be taught in schools. Including Islamic schools).

JERUSALEM: Was Solomon’s shrine a “Temple” or Mosque? (see Al ‘Aqsa–Temple Mount or Mosque Mount?

ABRAHAMIC ACCORDS: Is this Accords a peace plan or a peace ploy against Muslims? (see Abrahamic Accords– US-Zionist peace pact or peace ploy?)

PART A:   Burning Qur’an
PART B: Cross or Crescent? -Jesus Christ is the most overblown, most over-represented figure in Creation.
*************************************************

                                   PART A
              BURNING QUR’AN
Burning and desecrating/defacing the Qur’an is amusing. And sheer ignorance/bigotry.
Muslims demonstrating against this burning of the Qur’an and leaders exhorting governments to curb Qur’an burning is pathetic. This exposes the inability of these Muslims to extol the magnificence and the excellence of Islam.
Islam does not seek to silence voices; Islam, the religion of reason argument and examples, seeks to enhance mentality: “Call to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and goodly exhortation, and argue with them in the best manner”-(Qur’an 16:125).

Rather than burn a copy of the Qur’an we invite “Qur’an-burners” to incinerate a million copies –make a mountain of your protest. We will sell you the million Qur’ans at the reasonable discounted price of only $20 U.S. per copy. After we have deposited your $20 million US into our account –laughing all the way to and from Credit Suisse we have just two challenges for you:

  1. To which revealed Scripture are you comparing the Qur’an.
  2.  Prove a religion superior to, or equal with, Islam, we will follow whatever you follow. But as you cannot prove –and no one can prove– you will follow Islam.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE TEACHINGS OF THE  QUR’AN THAT THE  QUR’AN-BURNERS HATE OR ARE IGNORANT OF (when checking Qur’anic references please check a few verses before or after the ones noted, as numbering among translators may vary):

–the fulfilling of covenants, keeping of oaths and not to be deceptive (16:91-92); to speak justly (6:153); to be righteous (2:277-278; 6:152-154); to not let hatred for a people incite you to transgress (5:2); to render back trusts to whom they are due, and to judge justly (4:58); because Allah God loves those who judge in equity (5:45-47)

–not to deal unjustly with men (2:279, 5:8); and not to rob them of their dues (26:183); to give justice even if it be against one’s self or parents or kins or whether he be poor or rich (4:135), encourages the feeding of the needy and the poor, to free the captives, to help those in debt, to care for the orphans, the wayfarer, and to free the slaves (9:60, 2:177), not to act corruptly in the earth or to make mischief (26:183); not to be transgressors (2:190), not to help one another in sin and aggression (5:2), to restrain our anger and forgive others (3:133), to fight on behalf of the oppressed (4:75); because Allah God loves those who are just, and because He commands justice and the doing of good, and He forbids injustice (60:8, 16:90)

–forbiddance against helping one another in sin, and to counsel one another in sin, but in goodness (5:2; 60:8-9); not to take a greater recompense than the injury suffered (2:194; 16:126; 42:40); that instead of retaliation, to make reconciliation, and to show patience and forgiveness (16:126; 42:39-43); to be merciful and forgiving (3:133); to fight only as long as there is persecution and oppression (2:193), and to make peace when the enemy desires peace (4:90, 8:61); because Allah God loves the doer of good, and the dutiful (2:195, 3:75)

–that all men are created equal (95:4), that we are made into different tribes and nations that we may know one another (49:13), that we are to be judged not by our race, color or nationality but by our deeds (6:133), that angels ask forgiveness for all mankind (42:5), that the noblest ones are those who are righteous (49:13, 98:7), not to let hatred of a people incite you to transgress, and to help one another in righteousness and help not each other in sin and aggression (5:2), to return evil with that which is better (23:96), to give justice (4:58; 5:8); because Allah God loves those who judge in equity, and because Allah God is aware of what you do (5:45, 4:135)

–to avoid illicit carnal relations (17:32)
–to establish regular prayer, because prayer keeps one from indecency and evil (29:45); to give in charity, which is for relatives and orphans, the poor, needy, the wayfarer, and the freeing of slaves (2:177; 9:60)

–that both man and woman were created from the same medium (4:1), and are to be life partners (25:54; 16:72; 24:32); with love and compassion between them–(7:189; 30:21)
–that Woman has like rights with those of man –the same is due to her as is due from her (2:228). She is a garment of man as he is her garment (to cover, protect, beautify, and comfort (2:187); and is “a fountain of love and affection”–(30:21); and his friend/protector–(9:71)

–that women can earn, and can inherit and own property (4:32, 7, 177). and have the exclusive right to utilize her earnings however she pleases (4:4, 32); and that she is to be honored (4:1) liberates and exalts her (2:187; 4:19-22; 4:1; 9:71-72); that both Man and Woman are inheritors of Paradise (43:70; 4:124; 16:97; 33:35)

–condemns compulsion (2:256); aggression (32:20); oppression, persecution (2:193; 42:42); exploitation (6:153; 26:181-184; 83:1-4)
–promotes peace (8:61), love (60:7-8); patience (23:111), tolerance (24:22; 45:14), and justice for all regardless of race, color or creed (4:135; 7:29; 16:90)
–advocates that all, regardless of race, nationality or color are equal, and that one is better than the other only through righteousness–(49:13); and encourages the pursuit of knowledge to both male and female for the purpose of good uses (20:114)
–to fight on behalf of the oppressed (4:75); and for religious freedom, for all (8:39; 22:40).

Many of the Christians and other critics charges are mere rehash from their forefathers which have been dispensed with more than 70 years ago by Muhammad Ali (MA’s translation of the Qur’an can be viewed, bought, downloaded from www.muslim.org).

                                         PART B
Please note:  Material on Jesus is not to denigrate Jesus; it is a comment on the Bible/Gospels and Christian teaching about Jesus. As proven Jesus Christ is the most over-blown, most over-represented figure in Creation. See item #5.

         CROSS OR CRESCENT?

  1.  Did Mohammad write the Qur’an?
    Does the Qur’an sanction sex with female captives and pre-pubescent girls? Does the Qur’an allow rape?
    Does the Qur’an allow prostitution? Does Islam require female circumcision? Did Jesus condemn circumcision?
  2.  Who is Allāh? Did Allah get His and Jesus’ name wrong? Why did Malaysia ban Christians from using the name “Allah”?
  3.  Why did Allāh create us? Did Allah send His sons to die for Him whereas the Christian God send His son to die for you? Does Allah say to kill all disbelievers?
  4.  How many religions did Allāh reveal? Islam began as stranger and will end as stranger. Was Mohammad’s soul the first soul Allah/God created? Is/was Mohammad of “exalted character”? Was Mohammad a pedophile? Did Mohammad go to heaven on a winged horse? Did Mohammad say man originally was “60 cubits” (90 feet) tall?
  5.  Was Jesus a Muslim and taught Islam?
  6.  Does Jesus love us, is Jesus Prince of peace? Does Jesus come to people in dreams/visions?
  7.  Is Jesus savior?
  8.  What kind of Son of God is Jesus?
  9.  Why did Paul devise original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement?
  10.  Why did the Church invent Trinity? What kind of “Word” is Jesus? Jesus says “no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”. But how does one “cometh” to Jesus in order to get to the Father?
    God says, “Let us make man in our image.” Was God calling on Jesus or on Mohammad for help?
  11.  Did Jesus prophesy his death and resurrection?
  12.  Is the “crucifixion” historical fact or historical fiction? What became of Jesus “post-cross”?
  13.  Is Jesus return prophecy or mythology?
  14.  Does Christianity exist? Are Christians the Anti-Christ? Will Islam collapse? Has Islam surpassed Christianity?  Why Christian-Muslim debate? Which Christians did Allah say will go to heaven?  Do Muslims have assurance of Paradise/Heaven? Do Christians have? Do Hindus have? Do Sikhs, Buddhists and Bahai’s have?
  15.  What did Jesus mean in saying “I proceedeth forth and came from God”?  “I and my Father are one”?, “Before Abraham was, I am”?, “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father”?
  16. Christ vs. Christians.
    (Please watch video at end of these topics: “How can we believe in a man (Mohammad) who was illiterate?”, “Islam spread by the sword”). 

There are many Christians and atheists on the Internet claiming what they view as defects in Islam to have Muslims apostatize and to keep others from accepting Islam.
Claims such as that the Qur’an allows sex with female captives and pre-pubescent girls. Though it is the Bible that allows these sexual improprieties -the Bible sanctions killing all males, including infants, and assigning women and virgin little girls as war booty (sex-slaves) to Jewish and Christian soldiers and even to priests (shown shortly).
   One Christian woman claims that the Qur’an allows prostitution. Though Judah, the grandfather of her God/Son of God, Jesus, engaged in prostitution with his daughter-in-law, Tamar. (Shown shortly).

Critic also charge that the Qur’an allows rape. Though it is the Bible that allows rape -the Biblical God (and as Christians say Jesus is God, Jesus) gave David’s wives to David’s neighbor for him to have sex with David’s wives (Shown shortly).

The question to these critics is, to which religion are you comparing Islam?
Muslims are not to be overwhelmed. Critics are vast on text and void on substance. Muslims are to have critics prove a religion superior to Islam; but as they cannot prove they are to accept Islam. Islam is the only Divinely revealed religion (shown later).

Significantly, Islam does not need “defenders” –there is nothing in Islam that needs to be defended– Islam needs “expounders” to explain its teachings.
To this end, I urge Muslims (and seekers of truth for the truth) to secure a copy of Muhammad Ali’s translation of the Qur’an which can be viewed/downloaded/bought from www.muslim.org.
MA. explains Arabic words/terms and gives a background to which verses were revealed; and his Preliminary notes is a King Solomon’s mine of information. Seventy years ago MA has dispensed with many of the charges that critics today are rehashing from their fathers/forefathers. (Muslims are to compare the verses critics use to denigrate Islam with Muhammad Ali’s translation/explanation).
Only the uneducated Muslim and the unthinking will leave Islam for atheism or for any religion, least of all for Christianity.  

Christians are terrified of Islam because they know Islam is the only Divinely revealed religion:
To put this Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent God into the belly of a woman He created -and created more than four billion years afterHe created the earth and hail this MORTAL woman “Mother of God” and denigrate this IMMORTAL Creator as son of this MORTAL woman- give God anus and penis, pull God out the woman’s genital/menstrual passage -making Adam and Eve cleaner than God as conveyed by Job 4:17, 25:4- circumcise God’s foreskin and bandaged his manhood in poultice to be healed, have God suck the woman’s “paps”, pin God in diaper and have Him in need to be cleaned, to feed God butter and honey so that He can differentiate between good and evil as Isaiah 7:14-15 says  (thus portraying God as an ignoramus); have God “increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with man and God (with Himself) as Luke 2:52 teaches; and then to have God commit gross injustices of putting Adam’s sin onto helpless, blameless and morally and mentally non-competent babies, and have the innocent Jesus (and Himself)  killed as scapegoat to free us of Adam’s sin (which He put on us; having God complicit in murder; and which acts of blaming and killing the innocent for the guilty are expected of tyrants). And to hang God naked on a cross.
These ascriptions to God are not only the blackest degree of blasphemy and repugnancy, these ascriptions to God do not befit Twenty-first Century intelligence.

The suggestion by Christian apologists that the Romans would have given concession to Jews to have Jesus wear a loin cloth to preserve modesty, especially considering that his mother and other women were present, is bland conjecture.
It was the “hypocritical” Scribes and Pharisees who “devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers” and were destined to “receive the greater damnation” that plotted mercilessly to kill Jesus; and it was an “evil and adulterous generation” of Jews that clamored for Jesus’ head-(Matthew 23:14, 12:39). These can hardly be said to be concerned about Jesus’ modesty or the women’s sentiments. Jesus’ enemies sole purpose was to be as cruel and crude as possible.
The fact remains, and no amount of scrubbing or white-washing, can erase or cover it:  Christians hanged God naked on a cross. Revolting! These are the lunacies that Christians want Muslims (and others) to savage our senses and follow.

Allāh is the ultimate in Purity and Perfection, the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Gracious and Merciful God Who forgives all sins unconditionally as He instructed His Messenger, Mohammad, in loving, compassionate terms to convey to the world:   “Say: O My servants who have sinned against their souls, DESPAIR NOT of the mercy of Allāh, surely ALLĀH FORGIVES ALL SINS. Verily, He is Most Forgiving. Ever Merciful”–(Qur’an 39:53). Allah forgiving “ALL” sins does not mean He forgives you for the same sin you keep committing again and again.

Sadly, there are Muslims who have mutilated their intelligence and turned their backs to the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent and all-Forgiving Allah to ape Christians and kiss the useless and unGodly crucifix and to drink the mythical blood of Jesus Christ and eat his bodySPIRITUAL CANNIBALISM! 
You “ex-Muslims”, as you like to crown yourselves. you have the grand opportunity while you are alive to repent and return to Allah; when you die -and no one knows when he/she will die- this grand opportunity evaporates like dewdrop in Hell. With you as the fuel.

ATHEISTS: Having no intelligent discourse to advance their belief atheists are terrified of Islam because they know Islam is the only religion that refutes atheism. That man evolved from a microscopic cell by accident/chance programming itself to develop: 

-a mind, sight through fat, hearing through bone, speech through a lump of flesh; faculties of reasoning, systems for consuming, nourishing and evacuating and smelling; hands, legs, head with hair;
-intricate networks of vessels and blood; fingers and toes and with a unique set of prints never duplicated;

-limbs having joints that not only swivel but are locked in place and with precision and smoothness;
-a set of teeth, and varied for cutting, tearing and grinding food; a self-propelling heart;

-emotions and carnal passion to ensure the need for companionship; equipped with complimentary genitals and reproductive systems and sperm/ovum for propagating, and with mammary glands and milk;
-to develop and provide bats with sonar, vipers with venom, skunks with spray, birds, bees and butterflies with navigational codes to migrate and return, spiders with webs, octopi with inks, trees with photosynthesis, etc.

That a microscopic cell can program itself into this magnificent human being of beauty, symmetry and excellence and instill in creatures such capabilities is an insult to intellect. Chance/accident would also have to create unseen beings (Jesus pulled some 2,000 devils from one man alone–Mark 5:1-13).

Notably, in Islam Creation is not opposed to evolution: evolution is part of Divine Creation. In fact, evolution was taught to the world for the first time in Islam. (See Atheism, Creation or Evolution).

HINDUS: The main beliefs of Hinduism are karma and reincarnation, and moksa. Karma and reincarnation are not clearly expressed in the Vedas. No one seems to know the origin of these doctrines.

“The origin and the development of the belief in the transmigration of souls are very obscure …This doctrine of samsara (reincarnation) is attributed to the sage Uddalaka Aruni, who is said to have learned it from a Ksatriya chief. In the same text, the doctrine of karma (works)…also occurs for the first time, attributed to Yajnavalkya. Both doctrines appear to have been new and strange ones, circulating among small groups of ascetics who were disinclined to make them public”–(Encyclopaedia Britannica; 15th Ed; Vol. 8, p. 911. Underlines, color added).
   Anoop Chandola states: “Through contact, the Aryans and non -Aryans began to modify and integrate each other’s pathways. In the context of religion, for example, the Austro-Asiatics may have contributed the belief in each life passing to another life. This belief later, in the form of reincarnation, became a major element in the Upanishads”–(The Way To True Worship, p. 8).

Karma –that every action has an equal and opposite reaction– is for science; and the belief that you reap what you sow is for agriculture and animal-culture. Along with his right to retaliate, man is endowed with reason and is merciful and forgiving. The God Who gives to all human action an equal and opposite reaction –requiting every evil with punishment– is a mercy-less God : there is no room in Him for forgiveness.
   If karma/reincarnation were Divine truths, trying to improve the conditions of the unfortunate –which is the “reaction” to their bad karma– would be to work against karma; if such works are successful man would have subverted karma.

Reincarnation –that the soul is reincarnated as human, animals, birds, insects, plants, etc. depending on one’s deed in a past life.  If karma returns a person as a human, which must be the result of righteous living in a past life, that person should not die as a babe or youth; but there are thousands who die when yet a baby or a youth. Or are still-born.
   The souls as animals can be said to be at no disadvantage, nor as a means of punishment for a past life of evil. An animal is suited to its kingdom. A worm, dog, cat, cockroach, etc; must be just as comfortable and happy in its state and surroundings as man (generally) is in his.
   If souls are reincarnated into various forms of life, the animals, birds, fish, vegetables one eats could be his parents, relative, etc.

Moksa or “Liberation” of the soul from the cycle of deaths and births (reincarnation) is rooted in the doctrines of karma and reincarnation. As there are no Divine doctrines of karma and reincarnation, there could not be liberation from them. There is no moksa.

Hindu Scriptures: The sacred Books of Hindus are the Vedas –Rg/Rig, Atharva, Yajur, and Sama– the Mahabharata, which comprises the Bhagavad-Gita, Ramayana and Puranas.  It is stated:
“The great mythological works of Hinduism are the Epics, namely the Mahabharata…..and the Ramayana…. and the compendia of creation myths, king lists, legends and religious doctrines called Puranas”–(Hamlyn, Man and his Gods, encyclopedia of the world’s religions, p. 178.
C. Rajagopalachari wrote in his Ramayana: “The Ramayana is not history or biography. It is a part of Hindu mythology”(p. 8). (The Ramayana, the story about Ram/Rama, being “mythology,” Diwali –the festival of light grounded in the Ramayana– would also be a myth –it is not a Divine/religious festival). For greater details on Hinduism see Hinduism-karma and reincarnation & women.
************************************************************

        1. DID MOHAMMAD WRITE THE QUR’AN?
So Mohammad wrote the Qur’an. Who wrote the Bible? Who wrote the Vedas, Ramayana and Bhagavad-Gita?
If Mohammad wrote the Qur’an Mohammad had the wisdom to name our religion (Islam) and to designate its followers (Muslims).
Whereas the Christian God did not have the wisdom to name His religion (Christianity) and designate its followers (Christians).
Neither did the Hindu God(s) have the wisdom to name His religion (Hinduism/Sanatana Dharma) and designate its followers (Hindus/Sanatanists). 

In Qur’an 2:23 Allah invites the disbelievers to produce a chapter like that of the Qur’an. The Qur’an contains 114 chapters, each having a title and begins with the benediction In the Name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful. One who wants to meet this invitation is to choose one of these 114 chapters of the Qur’an and write an original chapter like it and give it a title and benediction. 

Aside from the fact that Mohammad did not know to read and write, if critics can write a chapter like that of the Qur’an and can prove that Mohammad made prophecies that manifested in his lifetime and gave teachings on science of his own accord 1400 years ago that are in keeping with modern scientific knowledge, critics would have proven that Mohammad wrote the Qur’an. Prove it! (For prophecies and scientific teachings of the Qur’an see Qur’an-prophecies; Qur’an-science  and Apostate Prophet-Qur’an Poor Science). 

About the Qur’an:
Some verses of the Qur’an are of basic meaning, others are allegorical. Allāh says in Qur’an 3:6 “He (Allāh) it is Who has revealed the Book to thee; some of its verses are decisive — they are the basis of the Book — and others are allegorical. Then those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead, and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. And none knows its interpretation save Allāh, and those firmly rooted in knowledge. They say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord. And none mind except men of understanding”–(Qur’an 3:7).
   Verses such as Oneness of God, Prayer, Zakaat/Charity, Fasting, Hajj, and those for our moral, social, intellectual and spiritual upliftment are of literal meaning. And clearly expressed.
Allegorical verses will be understood by people of advanced knowledge (much like a legal document needs someone with higher education to understand it).    

 About Hadith:
The Qur’an was revealed over a period of twenty-three years; during this long period, unless he received Divine Revelation in the matter, the Prophet followed the teachings of the Bible, which requires death to the adulterer, the unchaste bride, the apostate the blasphemer and the homosexuals; which Biblical laws were annulled by subsequent Qur’anic revelations.
Allāh speaking about abrogation in Qur’an 2:106 and  16:101 does not mean that certain early verses of the Qur’an were abrogated by later ones. This abrogation refers to earlier revelations as those of the Bible mentioned above.
The claim that one verse of the Qur’an abrogates another is due to the lack of meditating on the verses–(Qur’an 4:82). (Muhammad Ali has dealt at length with this topic in his translation of the Qur’an. His translation of the Qur’an can be viewed/downloaded at www.muslim.org. Some of MA’s materials are here Qur’an-abrogation & collecting). 

Hadith are to be viewed according to the time frame in which they were given –if it was before or after Qur’anic revelation on the subject. The Prophet taught according to the Qur’an–(Qur’an 10:15; 21:45; 46:9; 53:3-4). Once revelation was given in a matter there was no going back to the old practice. Whatever contradicts with the Qur’an is to be discarded.  

Notably. Even in the Prophet’s lifetime sayings were forged in his name. Hazrat ‘Ali, the fourth Caliph, says: “During the very lifetime of the Holy Prophet (AS) many a false tradition was attributed to him. This continued till the apostle of God got so vexed that he stood up and declared, ‘Whoever deliberately and purposely tells a lie against me or attributes lies to me shall make a place for himself in the Hell’”,
that some people “inadvertently” misquotes the Prophet; some interprets Hadith incorrectly; that some permissions were later “repealed” and some prohibitions were later allowed;
and “Orders of our Holy Prophet (AS) are of two kinds. Some are meant for special persons while others are for all Muslims and for all times. There were many persons who could not fully understand the significance of what the prophet had said. They could remember all right, but could not grasp the true relevance of these traditions and began interpreting them as they desired–(Nahjul Balagha, sermon 215, p.386. Bokhari Vol. 1, #106-109; Vol. 4, #667, 712). 

The Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Mohammad through Angel Gabriel and was memorized and written down upon revelation and rehearsed annually by Angel Gabriel with Prophet Mohammad–(Bokhari Vol. 1, #5; Vol. 3, #126; Vol. 4, #754, 819); it was handed down through recitation and text. That the Qur’an is perfectly preserved see Qur’an is perfectly preserved. 

Whereas Christians try to cast aspersions on the authenticity of the Qur’an, there is no place in the Bible where God says He revealed to, or inspired, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, or that He revealed the Gospel to Jesus.
Here is a brief history of the Bible as taken from The Self-pronouncing Edition of The Holy Bible, section “Bible Study Helps” (pub. by The World Publishing Company, 2231 West 110TH Street, Cleveland 2, Ohio). pp. 3-10. It shows (quoting only the relevant parts): 

   -“The term “Bible” was not used to designate the Holy Scriptures until the time of the early Church Fathers about A.D. 400” (i.e. about 1,000 years after Moses and 400 years after Christ). These Latin scholars borrowed the word from the plural Greek word, biblia, meaning “rolls” or scrolls.””  

   -the Old Testament was written over a period of “1,200” years and put into writing between “1500-500? B.C.” and had “so many variations” among manuscripts that to know the “exact words of Scripture became a major problem.” 

   -the New Testament was translated from more than “4,000 Greek manuscripts” “8,000” Latin Vulgate and at least “1,000 other versions”; it had “thousands of variant readings”; and no one knows “the original autograph” of any of the book in the New Testament. ; (in other words, no one knows who the original writer of these manuscripts were).  

The King James Bible was “completed” in “1611”. (that is some 1600 years AFTER Christ). 

And, Maurice Bucaille notes in his book The Bible, The Qur’an And Science, pp. 77, 78, 249, respectively:  “It was not until circa 170 A.D. (about 140 years After Christ) that the four Gospels acquired the status of canonic literature.” “Perhaps a hundred Gospels were suppressed. Only four were retained and put on the official list of neo-Testament writings making up what is called the ‘Canon’.” And “the authors of the Gospels (meaning Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) were not eye-witnesses of the data they recorded”
   The Bible itself testifies it is tampered with. “How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us’? But behold, THE LYING PEN OF THE SCRIBES HAS MADE IT INTO A LIE”–(Jeremiah 8:8. New American Standard Bible, 1985 edition).
   Evidently, the Bible has more human weaving than a Galilean’s fishnet. This history of the Bible -Old and New Testaments- proves that antiquity is not authenticity. (For more see Bible corrupt & obsolete).   

Notably: Whereas Allāh says to believe in all His Revelations, and the Bible does have Words of God; Allāh also tells us what to not believe that is passing under His name; such as Polytheism, Trinity, Divine sonship, original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement, Mariolatry; “chosen people” to the exclusion of others; karma and reincarnation.
Whereas Prophet Mohammad was foretold in various Scriptures, he does not need any past Scripture to substantiate his Divine Messengership status; The Qur’an with its prophecies, material on science and its inimitability is proof of Mohammad’s status. 

About Hindu Scriptures. To restate, Hamlyn notes: “The great mythological works of Hinduism are the Epics, namely the Mahabharata….and the Ramayana….and the compendia of creation myths, king lists, legends and religious doctrines called Puranas”–(Man and his Gods, encyclopedia of the world’s religions, (p. 178. Emphasis added).  
  And C. Rajagopalachari wrote in his Ramayana: “The Ramayana is not history or biography. It is a part of Hindu mythology”–(p.8. The Ramayana being “mythology,” Diwali –the festival of light grounded in the Ramayana– would also be myth).

According to Encyclopedia Britannica 15th; Edition Vol, 17, p. 151), the Rgveda was “composed” by “bard priest;” and (quoting the relevant parts) “By about 1000 BC this body of chanted poetry had apparently grown to unmanageable proportions, and the best of the poems were formed into an anthology called Rgveda, which was then canonized.…The Vedic literature was oral and not written down until very much later, the first reference to a written Vedic text being in the 10th century AD”. (Three Hundred years after the Qur’an was revealed, written down and memorized).

Hindu teachings of Trimurti Godhead –Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva– Karma and Reincarnation and Moksa are not teachings of the Veda. (See Hinduism-Karma and Reincarnation & Women).

DOES THE QUR’AN ALLOW SEX WITH FEMALE CAPTIVES?
Qur’an 4:3; 23:5-6; 33:50; 70:22-30. (See also Islam-polygamy; Islam-concubinage and Islam-slaves/slavery).
 

Qur’an 4:3 states, “And if you fear that you cannot do justice to orphans, marry such women as seem good to you, two, or three, or four; but if you fear that you will not do justice, then (marry) only one or that which your right hands possess. This is more proper that you may not do injustice.”
   Obviously, those who charge that Islam allows marriage/sex with “orphan” girls did not consider the possibility that these “orphans” were of marriageable state.  

These Qur’anic verses (4:3; 23:5-6; 33:50; 70:22-30) speak about whom your right hands possess; this phrase relates to captives of war but it does not mean that the Muslim man can have sex with female captives outside of marriage. Slave girls are to be taken in marriage only.  

   -Sura 4:3-4 allows the Muslim man to marry up to four wives: “MARRY such women as seem good to you, two, or three, or four; but if you fear that you will not do justice, then (marry) only one or that which your right hands possess. This is more proper that you may not do injustice. And give women their dowries as a free gift.”
   Clearly, Muslims are instructed to MARRY either a free believing women or a war-captive; and to even give them “dowries.” This verse clearly sanctions marriage between Muslims and their female captives.
This is made even clearer in verse 25 which states: “And whoever of you cannot afford to MARRY free believing women, (let him marry) such of your believing maidens as your right hands possess …So MARRY them with the permission of their MASTERS, and give them their dowries justly.”

Clearly, the charge that Islam allows Muslims to have illegal sex with their captives is baseless. In fact, the Prophet Mohammad taught: “The man shall have a double reward who has a slave-girl and he trains her in the best manner and he gives her the best education, then he sets her free and MARRIES her”–(Bokhari Vol. 4 #655; & 3:720). 

  -Sura 23:5-6 says: “Successful indeed are the believers, who are humble in their prayers…And who restrain their sexual passions –except in the presence of their mates or those whom their right hands possess.” (Sura 70:22-30 says the same as 23:5-6).
The claim that these verses of Suras 23 and 70 being Makkan Suras allowed sex with slave women is also baseless.
Whereas Suras 23 and 70 were revealed towards the end of the early Makkan period, Sura 17 which is of the mid early Makkan period requires Muslims to not even do the things (such as touching, amorous speech and intense/sultry gazing) that lead to zina (sexual intercourse between people who are not married to each other; and which includes both adultery and fornication).

Here is the verse (17:32): “And go not nigh to adultery/ fornication: for it is a shameful deed. And an evil, opening the road (to other evils),” and Sura 25 which is also of the same Makkan period says in verses 68 (speaking about those who will inherit paradise): “And they who call not upon another god with Allāh ….nor commit adultery/fornication.”
These Suras (23, 70, 17 and 25) are of the Makkan period and it would be poor cerebration to surmise that Allāh would require abstention from illegal sex and also enjoin the commission of illegal sex. Muhammad Ali explains Qur’an 23:5-6:

Furuj, plural of farj, indicates the part of a person which it is indecent to expose (LL), particularly the pudenda. In this sense hifz al-farj means generally the observing of continence, or the restraining of sexual passions. The words au ma malakat aimanu-hum, of which a literal rendering is given in the translation, usually indicate slaves. It should be noted that this chapter is a Makkan revelation, and the conditions under which slave-girls could be taken as wives were given later at Madinah; see 4:25a. If the reference here is to sexual relations, the permission regarding those whom their right hands possess must be read subject to the conditions of 4:25. It may be added that slave-girls, when taken as wives, did not acquire the full status of a free wife, and hence they are spoken of distinctly. It may, however, be added that hifz al-farj in a wider sense means the covering of parts of the body which it is indecent to expose, and in this connection it must be borne in mind that according to Islamic rules of decency, the exposure of such parts of the body, as are generally exposed in ballrooms and theatres, is disallowed, but a certain degree of freedom is allowed to women in the presence of their husbands and female servants and to men in the presence of their wives and male servants.” 

Allāh also enjoins: “And marry not the idolatresses until they believe”–(Qur’an 2:221); “And marry those among you who are single, and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves”–(Qur’an 24:32).
And, as stated above, the Prophet Mohammad taught: “The man shall have a double reward who has a slave-girl and he trains her in the best manner and he gives her the best education, then he sets her free and marries her”–(Bokhari Vol. 4 #655; & 3:720). 

Again, Allāh says: “Surely prayer keeps (one) away from indecency and evil”–(Qur’an 29:45); and adultery, whether with slave-girls or with the free, is indecency. To enjoin decency and allow concubinage is a contradiction. It would be a contradiction of the most glaring kind for Allah to enjoin chastity and decency, to instruct us to come not near to adultery/fornication and still sanction “concubinage.”

While Islam requires freeing of captives–(Qur’an 47:4). Here is what the Christian God (as Christians claim Jesus is God, here is what Jesus) commands:
-“And if it will make no peace with thee….thou shalt smite EVERY MALE thereof with the edge of the sword. But the WOMEN and the LITTLE ONES (girls)…shalt thou take unto thyself”–(Deuteronomy 20:12-14).
-“Then the Lord spake unto Moses, saying…
And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses, and they slew ALL THE MALES….
And they brought the CAPTIVES and the prey and the spoil to Moses, and Eleazar…
And Moses said unto them…Now therefore kill every MALE among the LITTLE ONES (of the captives), and kill EVERY WOMAN who hath known man by lying with him, but ALL THE WOMEN CHILDREN, that have not known a man by lying with him (virgin girls, pubescent as well as prepubescent girls) KEEP ALIVE FOR YOURSELVES….
And the BOOTY, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught was 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, and 61,000 asses, and of WOMEN that had not known man by lying with him (virgin girls), were 32,000. And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was 337,500 sheep; 36,000 cattle, 30,500 asses, and 16,000 persons (virgin girls). And of the congregation’s half portion of these 16,000 virgin girls, 320 were given to the Levite priests, as “the Lord commanded Moses.” And the LORD’S TRIBUTE (of the (booty) was 675 sheep; 72 cattle; 61 donkeys; and 32 persons….
the men of war had taken SPOIL (BOOTY), EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF.”
(Surely, these 16,000 young “virgin” girls who were “booty’ were taken by the “warriors” not for making pretzels and croissants or for forging swords into plowshares or for ploughing fields. And the 320 given to the Levite priests could have hardly been for “altar”-girl service).

Evidently it is the Christian’s God –and as Christians claim that Jesus is God, then it is Jesus– who allows his followers to despoil the land of others, and to loot, and to take their little virgin girls as sex-slaves.
How would you feel if your husband and father are killed and you and your daughters are taken by Jews and Christians for sex?
You will not like your fathers and brothers and mothers to be killed and your little sisters (virgins or not) be taken by soldiers for sex?

That the Biblical God does NOT oppose sex with women other than one’s wife is plainly shown in this verse where God told David, because of David’s adulterating with Uriah’s wife, that He will give his wives to his neighbor to have sex with them: “Thus saith the Lord, Behold…I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and GIVE THEM UNTO THY NEIGHBOUR, AND HE SHALL LIE WITH THY WIVES in the sight of this sun”–(2 Samuel 12:11).
What kind of a God and Book are Christians following that would have one man’s wives defiled/violated by another man? And for the sin of their husband?  This is not only a desecration, it is demeaning to the wives/women and an injustice against them.  

 If it was forbidden to have sex with women other than one’s wives it is doubtful that Solomon and his son, Rehoboam, both kings/rulers and even prophet(s) –and who came AFTER Moses; and would have been stoned to death as the Bible requires for adultery- would have “three hundred” and “sixty” concubines, respectively-(1 Kings 11:3. 2 Chronicles 11:21) some of whom may very well have been war-captives –women and budding girls. 

MARRIAGE TO PRE-ADOLESCENT GIRLS:
Allāh reveals in Qur’an 65:4: “Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period (iddat), if you have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): For those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their burdens: And for those who fear God, He will make their path easy” (Yusuf Ali)   

Muhammad Ali translates: “And those of your women who despair of menstruation, if you have a doubt, their prescribed time is three months, and of those, too, who have not had their courses. And the pregnant women, their prescribed time is that they lay down their burden. And whoever keeps his duty to Allāh, He makes his affair easy for him.” 

What needs to be pointed out is that this verse, in fact this entire section (65:1-7) is about divorce. “Iddat” is the period of waiting for a woman to know if she is pregnant.  There are three points in this verse, 65:4:  

    (i) women who have passed the age of menstruation
(ii) women who have not have their periods and are not certain if they are pregnant; thus they “despair of menstruation” because they are in the process of a divorce and have not yet have their courses (thinking they may be pregnant at a time when they are in a process of divorce). The ending of this verse (65:4) seems to make this explanation still clearer as it says, “And the pregnant women, their prescribed time is that they lay down their burden.”
(iii) women whose pregnancies are confirmed. 

  Since the three month waiting period is to determine whether conception has occurred or not, those “who have not had their courses” could not refer to pre-pubescent girls because pre-pubescent girls could not become pregnant without ovulating, and thus it would be pointless for them to have a waiting period. Those “who have not had their courses” could only refer to women who are uncertain if they are pregnant.
   To emphasize.  Since to be pre-pubescent is to be without breasts, pubic hair and period; the Qur’anic women “who have not had their courses” CANNOT be pre-pubescent girls; because by its very nature PRE-pubescent girls do NOT menstruate/ovulate.

Even if there are cases where girls become pregnant before experiencing their first periods this does not mean that they did not have breasts and pubic hair and was not of marriageable state.

Muhammad Ali notes:
“it is wrong to identify women who have not had their courses with minors, for there may be cases in which a woman reaches the age of majority though she has not had her courses and it is with such exceptional cases that this verse deals.
(Perhaps there are girls that do not get their period till in their mid teens even though they may have developed breasts and grown pubic hair). At any rate, there is no mention anywhere in the Qur’an or Tradition of minors being married or divorced. In Jurisprudence, however, the legality of the marriage of a minor when contracted by a lawful guardian is recognised.
  Muhammad Ali also points out that “there is no case on record showing that the marriage of a minor through his or her guardian was allowed by the Prophet after details of the law were revealed to him at Madinah.”-(The Religion Of Islam, p. 601).

Thus, Qur’an 65:4 about women “who have not had their courses” –or who  “despair of menstruation”– are women whose pregnancy are not confirmed and are uncertain if they are pregnant (they may have missed a period or are late in having it and therefore are not certain if they are pregnant).

Islam does not specify a particular age for marriage (and there is none in the Bible either);  but Allah has given us the guideline which it identifies with the age of majority: “And test the orphans until they reach the marriage (nikah). Then if you find in them maturity of intellect, make over to them their property, and consume it not extravagantly and hastily, against their growing up”–(Qur’an 4:6). Thus, “the age of marriage and the age of maturity of intellect are identified with full age or the age of majority.” (See Age of sexual consent).      

In contrast. as shown it is the Bible that allows sex with pre-pubescent girls.
Even if Qur’anic verses opposing sex with female war-captives outside of marriage were not yet revealed at the time Muslims took these captives, then, given that unless and until he received Divine Revelation in a matter the Prophet Mohammad followed the Bible, if Muslims engaged in sex with captive women and pre-pubescent girls they were only following what the Bible –Judaism and Christianity– allows.
   Why then crab at Mohammad/Muslims for doing what Judaism and Christianity sanction? 

DOES THE QUR’AN ALLOW RAPE?
Critics say Qur’an 4:24 is not about marriage but sex. It states:
And all married women except those whom your right hands possess (are forbidden) (this is) Allāh’s ordinance to you. And lawful for you are (all women) besides those, provided that you seek (them) with your property, taking (them) in marriage, not committing fornication. Then as to those whom you profit (by marrying), give them their dowries as appointed. And there is no blame on you about what you mutually agree after what is appointed (of dowry). Surely Allāh is ever Knowing, Wise.”

Muhammad Ali explains the statement all married women are forbidden:
“It is thus forbidden to a man that he should marry a woman who is already married. An exception is made, however, regarding those whom your right hands possess, by which expression are generally meant in the Holy Qur’an those who are taken prisoners in war. It sometimes happened that such prisoners became converts to Islam, and therefore they could not be sent back. Such women it was lawful to take in marriage, even though they might not have been divorced formally by their former husbands. The words ma malakat aimanu-kum may, however, also mean those whom you have lawfully taken in marriage, because lawful possession is clearly implied in the word aiman, which signifies covenant, marriage also being a covenant. The meaning of the passage may therefore be that all free women are prohibited to you except those whom you have lawfully married.”
Clearly, the captive married women that Muslims married were those who became converts to Islam, and therefore they could not be sent back.”

The words that “you seek (them) with your property, taking (them) in marriage, not committing fornication”; this alone obliterates the critics charge that Qur’an 4:24 is bout sex/rape.

DOES THE QUR’AN ALLOW PROSTITUTION?:
“And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, when they desire to keep chaste, in order to seek the frail good of this world’s life; and whoever compels THEM, then surely after THEIR compulsion Allāh is Forgiving, Merciful”–(Qur’an 24:33).

One Christian woman claims that Qur’an 24:33 absolves a man from using a slave girl for prostitution; that while the verse says not to compel girls into prostitution it “assures” the owners if they do Allāh will forgive them; that the slave-girl could not be in need of forgiveness for something she has no control over.
   (May be she became a willing participant during the act).
Blameless babies need forgiveness for Adam’s sin but this girl does not need forgiveness for her sin. Such is Christian’s rationale.

This verse is about ‘Abdullah b. Ubayy who used his slave-girls for prostitution–(Muslim Vol.4, #7180, 7181).
   Forgiveness IS for the slave girl as careful reading of the verse shows –“THEM”  and “THEIR” (plural) as emphasized in the verse are the slave-girls. Whoever compels is the slave owner and those under compulsion are the girls.
As Allāh says of the girls that “after THEIR compulsion” He is Forgiving. Even though it was not the girl’s choice it was yet a sin and the owner who forced THEM (the girls) into it are told that THEY (the girls) would be forgiven.
   
Muslims are admonished not to follow the hypocrites, and the girl is consoled/comforted she is not to be distressed; Allāh will not hold her accountable.
It would be pointless for Allāh to tell Muslims not to force girls into prostitution if He would “absolve(s)” them for it.

There is prostitution in this Christian woman’s Bible. Judah, offered his daughter-in-law, Tamar, a “kid” in exchange for sex–(Genesis 38:11-18. That Tamar was in disguise is irrelevant).
And God instructed Hosea to engage in prostitution:
“And the Lord said to Hosea: Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms…”
“Then said the Lord unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress….So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley” (and he paid her to serve him solely for “many days”)–(Hosea 1:2; 3:1-3).   

DOES ISLAM REQUIRE FEMALE CIRCUMCISION?
Muslims follow the religion of Abraham–(Qur’an 2:130; 3:94; 16:123); the religion of Abraham (and all prophets) is Islam–(Qur’an 42:13), and this religion requires that males be circumcised–(Genesis 17:7-14; Bokhari. Vol; 7, #779; Vol; 8, #312; Abu Dawud, Vol. 1, #356).  

Islam does not require female circumcision; though it seems it was evident in the time of the Prophet: “Umm ‘Atiyyat al-Ansariyyah said: A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet said to her: Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband”–(Abu Dawud, Vol. 3, #5251).
   This hadith seems to convey that female circumcision was not a common practice; perhaps it was a corrective measure as women can suffer from an enlarged clitoris from “either a congenital or a hormonal basis,” which can restrict the flow of urine (much as a man’s enlarged prostate can restrict the flow of urine)–(For details see Ency. Britannica, 15th. Edition, Vol. 15, article, Reproductive System Diseases–Genetic and Congenital Abnormalities– paragraph “In the female,” p.697).
With modern medicine and machinations in our hands there is no more need for female circumcision. Tribal areas are to be given education and aid against female circumcision.

Significantly:
   -If circumcision was commonplace in Arabia, it would not have been necessary for “Umm ‘Atiyyat al-Ansariyyah” to tell the Prophet “A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina.” The Prophet would have known. And for certain there would have had to be more than one  woman “circumcizer.” And not only in Medina.
   -If Islam had require circumcision of women, as one critic tries to project, then during the Prophet’s reign, at least, all Muslim women would have been circumcised. 
   -If Islam had require women be circumcised, Muslim fathers and mothers who desire Jannah would have circumcised their hundreds of millions of daughters worldwide.

In opposition to male circumcision, one quarter argues that since Islam gives “females equality” with man how can Muslim males be tortured by circumcision? 
   Circumcision is not “torture”. Children bawl and perhaps bawl louder and longer from just a bruise or from a cut on the hand or foot or elsewhere.   So long as the blade is sharp the cut is just a sting; what is more needed is proper care for the healing; and, without doubt, it is easier for a baby, who is not mobile, to heal, and to heal faster. Perhaps now there need not be any sting to circumcision: the penis can be anesthetized before cutting.
Muslim girls/women would seem to suffer “torture” by having their ears pierced the old fashioned way -with a sewing needle. 

Muslim men and women who oppose circumcision must know they are kindling their Hell-fire with their tongues and/or pens. They need to learn Islam rather than fight to have Islam conform to their dictates.

Jesus and circumcision: Jesus was circumcised when he was eight days old, according to the covenant between God and Abraham–(Luke 2:21). 
   There is no record of Jesus condemning or speaking against circumcision. Nor could he, for he proclaimed that he came not to change the law or the prophets but fulfill, even though heaven and earth shall pass away not one title or jot of the law shall pass till they all be fulfilled–(Matthew 5:17), he taught that eternal life lies in obeying the commandments given to Moses–(Matthew 19:16-19), and he even bid his followers to abide by the edict of the Scribes and Pharisees because they represent Moses–(Matthew 23:2-3), and, as shown, the Mosaic law requires circumcision.

In fact, the Biblical Fathers who upheld the Mosaic Law are regarded as “gods” by God: “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High”–(Psalm 82:6); and Jesus affirmed this distinction of Psalm 82:6 in his arguments with the Jews:
“Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God”–(John 10:34-36. Notably, Jesus saying he is Son of God may very well have meant that he is son of one of these ‘prophets’ (“gods”) who received Divine revelation’, and NOT son of God, the Creator). 

Moreover since Christians believe that Jesus was “Son of God” and even God Himself, for Jesus to condemn circumcision he would be condemning his “Father’s” and His own “everlasting” covenant with Abraham and his descendants.

                                     2. WHO IS ALLĀH
Blind faith is no passport to Paradise:
In the Bible, Isaiah chapter one verse 18, says:
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool”–(Isaiah 1:18).
And in His Qur’an chapter 16 verse 125 Allāh instructs us:
“Call to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and goodly exhortation and argue with them in the best manner. Surely thy Lord knows best him who strays from His path, and He knows best those who go aright”–(Qur’an 16:125).
Reason is the gateway to God. 

Allāh is the proper name of God: “I, Allāh, am the Seer;” “Surely I am Allāh, there is no God but I, so serve Me”–(Qur’an 14:1; 20:14).
While every religionist would, without doubt, affirm that there is only one God, what is significant is one’s concept of God.  The Islamic concept of God is aptly, succinctly and eloquently stated in Qur’an 57:3 and 112:1-4.

Qur’an 57:3 states: “He (Allāh) is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, and He is Knower of all things.”
Prophet Mohammad explained these four attributes of Allāh:
“Thou art the First, so that there was nothing before Thee, Thou art the Last, so that there is nothing after Thee, and Thou art the Manifest, or the Ascendant over all, so that there is nothing above Thee, and Thou art the Hidden, the Knower of the Hidden things, so that there is nothing hidden from Thee”–(Muslim 48:13).    

And Qur’an 112:1-4 states: “He, Allāh, is One. Allāh, the Eternal; Absolute; He begets not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like Him”–(Qur’an 112:1-4): 

   –Allāh is One, i.e. He is not One in a Trinity or One in a Duality or One in polytheism. And He is One in attributes –mercy, beneficence, forgiveness etc.  There is none with attributes as Allah.
Allāh is Eternal, Absolute, i.e. He is Ever-living.
Allāh begets not, i.e. being One and Only, the First and Creator of all and thus could not have a consort, He begets not. Woman cannot be mother of God and God cannot be son of woman.
Allāh is not begotten, i.e. Being the First and Creator of all and thus having no mother and father, He is not born.
There is none like Allāh i.e. being First and Last, the Manifest and Hidden; the Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent and one in attributes; Allāh has no equal. 

While Idolaters and Christian-Arabs refer to God as Allāh their concept of Allāh is not as Islam’s. The Prophet was correct in saying he does not worship what they worship and vice-versa –Ref. Qur’an ch.109. There is no proof the Prophet worshipped idols before he was made Prophet.

DID ALLAH GET HIS NAME WRONG?
Critics claim that Allāh got His and Jesus’ name wrong.
As noted above. Allāh is the proper name of God: “I, Allāh, am the Seer;” “Surely I am Allāh, there is no God but I, so serve Me”–(Qur’an 14:1; 20:14).  

 If Allāh is a contraction of al (the) and ilāh (God). Then, as “the” “refers to someone or something that is unique or exists as only one at a time <~Lord>” as Webster’s (1976) define. Muslims rest our case: either way –al-ilāh (the God) or Allāh (One God)– the “only one” true God is ALLĀH!   

Allāh dates back to “earliest Semitic writings” which appeared from “30th century BCE”. No wonder Christian-Arabs know no other God but “Allāh”. “Praise be to Allāh, the Lord of the worlds”–(Qur’an 1:1).
(For Allāh see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah). 

Whereas Christians say Allāh got His name wrong, one-third of the Christian God, the Holy Ghost, has no name!
In contrast to Muslims who know the name of God, no Christian knows the name of their God. The names Christians commonly used for God is Jehovah and Yahweh. But Jehovah does not exist and Yahweh is an assumption. 

It is said that Jews considered the name of God too Holy to articulate, so they referred to God as YHWH. After a time the name of God was forgotten. Later, vowels were added to this Jewish contraction, YHWH, to produce a name.
Yahweh is assumed from this YHWH (which can also give Yahowah).  Jehovah was invented hundred’s of years after Jesus (See Wikipedia).

God clearly says His names are “I AM” and “JEALOUS”:
“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you”–(Exodus 3:14). And “For thou shalt worship no other god: for thy Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God”–(Exodus 34:14. Are Christians ashamed to use these names of their God?)
God is to be addressed by His revealed name, not by an invented or assumed name.

DID ALLĀH GET JESUS’ NAME WRONG?: 
Allāh says Jesus’ name is Isa/Esau.  Christians charge that Isa is not Jesus’ name, therefore Allāh is wrong; that Jesus’ name is Yeshua. Regarding Jesus, it is stated: 

“Isa is a name originating from a variety of sources. The name is most commonly derived from the classical Arabic عيسى ‘Isa, an Arabic translation of Jesus, itself having a Hebrew origin. However,   it is not the only translation; it is most commonly associated with Jesus as depicted in Islam, and thus, commonly used by Muslims. Meanwhile, Arabic-speaking Christians usually use يسوع Yasū‘, which comes from ܝܫܘܥ Yešū‘, the Aramaic name for Jesus, although they use the name Isa too.”  

“Yeshua or Y’shua was a common alternative form of the name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ‎ in later books of the Hebrew Bible and among Jews of the Second Temple period. The name corresponds to the Greek spelling Iesous (Ἰησοῦς), from which, through the Latin IESVS/Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus”–(Wikipedia. Emphasis/color added).

How then it is claimed that Allāh got Jesus’ name wrong when “Yeshua or Y’shua was a common alternative form of the name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ‎ in later books of the Hebrew Bible” and Isa is a name originating from a variety of sources and having aHebreworigin?
Allāh saying Jesus’ name is Isa/Esau  is no error. 

WHY DID MALAYSIA BAN CHRISTIANS FROM USING THE NAME “ALLAH”?
Malaysia banned Christians from using the name “Allah” in 2007. Infuriating some Christians. Why?

Allah has 99 names and the one crowning name Allāh giving Allāh 100 names–(Bokhari Vol. 9, #489; Muslim Vol. 4, #6475). These 99 names are intrinsic in the name Allāh and incorporates the belief: “Allāh is One and Only; the Eternal, Absolute; He begets not; nor is He Begotten; and there is none like unto Him;” is Self-subsisting, tires not nor sleeps, as well as incorporates belief in all His Angels, Books, Messengers, Resurrection, Judgment, Heaven and Hell.
Christians do NOT believe in “all” these aspects of Allāh –apart from giving Allāh a “begotten” son and making Mary “Mother of God” Christians do not believe Allāh is “Rahman” (Beneficent), they believe God requires some “satisfaction” to forgive sins; hence Jesus’ human/blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of Adam’s sin.
Thus, Christians using the name “Allāh” is hypocrisy. And the worst hypocrisy is hypocrisy against God.

In banning Christians from using “Allāh” Malaysia is benevolent to Christians –Malaysia has shortened Christians’ sentence in purgatory.   

Christian-Arabs referring to God as Allāh is much the same as the Idolaters of Arabia whose concept of Allāh were not as Islam’s. Prophet Mohammad was correct in saying he does not worship what the Idolaters worship and vice-versaRef. Qur’an ch 109. There is no proof Mohammad worship idol before he was made Prophet.

Given that Christians believe Jesus is God; and God says His names are “I AM” and “Jealous”–(Exodus 3:14; 34:14), and Christ cried to Eli–(Matthew 27:46). Instead of brow-beating the Malaysian government for usage of “Allāh” Christians are to use their Biblical names for God. Are Christians ashamed of the names of their God?
                                              *

                    3. WHY DID ALLĀH CREATE US?
Allāh created us to serve Him–(Qur’an 51:56). We serve Allāh by observing His injunctions; such as Unity of God; Prayer, Zakaat/Charity, Prayer, Fasting and Hajj; as well as practicing chastity and sobriety, giving justice to all; not to transgress or rob anyone and so on as detailed in the Qur’an.  

Allāh also created us to have mercy on us–(Qur’an 11:119). He has ordained mercy on Himself–(Qur’an 6:12, 54); His “mercy encompasses all things”–(Qur’an 7:156); His angels pray for the forgiveness of mankind–(Qur’an 42:5); He invites us to forgive us our sins–(Qur’an 14:10); and He implores us in loving, compassionate terms through Prophet Mohammad to convey to us: “Say: O My servants who have sinned against their souls, despair not of the mercy of Allāh, surely Allāh forgives all sins. Verily, He is Most Forgiving. Ever Merciful”–(Qur’an 39:53). Allāh does not need any satisfaction –human or animal sacrifice– in order to forgive sins.
And He “created death and life that He might try us —which of us is best in deeds–(Qur’an 67:2). (That God did not make man to live forever, as Christians allege, see Christianity-man made to live forever) 

To make us aware that He is the Creator of all things, the Vanquisher of all things, that man is created to serve Him, and that there is a Day of Judgment when we must answer for our wrong-doings, Allah raised messengers among all nations to instruct us. These messengers were given acts of devotion–(Qur’an 22:34, 67), and one common message “there is no God but Me, so serve Me”–(Qur’an 21:25).  

That there is no God but He; He alone is to be worshipped’ was taught by Moses: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, is ONE LORD;” “I am the Lord thy God….Thou shalt have none other gods before me”–(Deuteronomy 6:4; 5:6-7).
  And it was echoed by Jesus: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God IS ONE LORD;” “Thou shalt WORSHIP THE LORD THY GOD, and HIM ONLY shalt thou serve”–(Mark 12:29; Matthew 4:10). 

As noted, above Allāh gave all people messengers and acts of devotion. Thus, God is known by a name according to the language of the people. (In his booklet What’s His Name Ahmed Deedat notes the name of God in several languages).

DID ALLAH SEND HIS SONS TO DIE FOR HIM?:
Christians charge that whereas Allah sends His sons (Muslims) to die for Him; the Christian God sent His son (Jesus Christ) to die for you (for your sins. As shown later Jesus Christ did not die for anyone. And Jesus is NO son of God. Notably, the word “begotten”, which implies sexual intercourse, as referring to Jesus as “begotten” son of God, “begotten” has been aborted from some Bibles).

First, Muslims are NOT sons of Allah. We, as all humans, are servants of Allah.
Did “Yahweh” (and as Christians say Jesus is God, did Jesus) send His sons -Moses, Joshua and the other Israelite to war- to die for Him?
If “yes”, why then condemn Allah for what your God did?
If “no”, how do you conclude that Allah send Muslims to die for Him?

Allah did not/does not send His “sons”/Muslims  to die for Him. Allah enjoins Muslims to fight against injustice. And in this endeavor, as in all fighting/war/battle, some Muslims are killed/”die” (and those who are killed in the way of Allah inherit, and are alive in, Paradise-Qur’an 2:154; 3:168-170; Bokhari Vol. 5, #318).

Jihad does not mean “religious war” or “holy war” in the sense of taking up arms and killing non-Muslims; it is “holy war” in the sense of striving against all forms of evil.  Jihad means to “strive” or exert one’s self in the way of freedom, truth, and justice (or in the path of Allah/God). 

Muslims are required to fight on behalf of all people who are oppressed:
   -“Those who are driven from their homes without a just cause except that they say: Our Lord is Allah. And if Allah did not repel some people by others, cloisters and churches, and synagogues and mosques in which Allah’s name is much remembered, would have been pulled down”–(Qur’an 22:40).
-“And what reason have you not to fight in the way of Allāh and of the weak among the men and the women and the children, who say: Our Lord, take us out of this town, whose people are oppressors, and grant us from Thee a friend, and grant us from Thee a helper!”–(Qur’an 4:75). 

Muslims also undertook Jihad on behalf of Christians. Thomas W. Arnold states in his book The Preaching of Islam:
“Michael the Elder, Jacobite Patriarch of Antioch, writing in the latter half of the twelfth century…writes:  “This is why the God of vengeance….beholding the wickedness of the Romans who, throughout their dominions, cruelly plundered our churches and our monasteries and condemned us without pity –brought from the region of the south the sons of Ishmael, to deliver us through them from the hands of the Romans.” (p. 54. Emphasis/color added).     

In contrast, the Christian’s God sent his sons -from Moses to Joshua to David to Solomon- to kill others and to be killed/die (just to occupy lands and take women and little virgin  girls as booty). (Shown later).
Jesus (and as Christians say Jesus is God, Jesus/God) commanded his sons to fight and die for him:
-“He that is not with me is against me;”
-“But those mine enemies, which would not that I shall rule over them, bring hither, and slay them before me”-(Matthew 12:30; Luke  19:27. Surely not all these “enemies” would come willingly like “sheep” to a slaughter; many would fight, killing some of Jesus’ soldiers). (More on these two verses later).

Then we have the  man-made murderous Crusades -undoubtedly inspired by Jesus in Matthew 12:30 and Luke 19:27- blessed by popes (vicars of Christ),  slashing  their way  across the globe so savagely,  as her history testifies,  that “every country of the world has been soaked with blood in the name of Jesus Christ.”

“Crusade” is derived from a blend of the French croisade and Spanish cruzada. The crucifix is pagan in origin dating to the “Mithraic cult” which predated Jesus Christ.
   Whereas  the  Christian Crusade is a man-made organ for aggression and subjugation, the Muslim Jihad is a Divinely instituted office for peace and liberation. (See Islam-Jihad & Jihad Watch). 

DOES ALLAH SAY TO KILL ALL DISBELIEVERS?:
To emphasize. Readers are urged to consult Muhammad Ali’s translation of the Qur’an on verses quoted by critics to denigrate Islam. Muhammad Ali has explained Arabic words/terms and has given an insight to the background of verses, and his Preliminary notes and commentaries are a king Solomon’s mine of information. His translation of the Qur’an can be viewed/downloaded/bought from www.muslim.org).  

Muslim’s fighting is restricted only to stem persecution: “And fight them until there is no persecution, and religion is only for Allah. But if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors”–(Qur’an 2:193). 

That the Qur’an says to kill the Unbelievers, is a statement applicable only during the time of battle; and even then Muslims are urged to take prisoners and to set them free–(Qur’an 47:4); and more importantly, to make peace with the enemies when they desire peace: “And if they incline to peace, incline thou also to it”–(Qur’an 8:61).  

Regarding the statement of Allāh: “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him”–(Qur’an 3:85).
   This verse refers to those who know about Islam/Mohammad. And as no religion can be shown to be superior to, or equal with, Islam, what reason can you have for not following that which is better than what you are following?
Allah says the rejecters of Islam will not be accepted. Not that they are to be killed.  Prophet Mohammad emphasizes this point:
“By Him (Allāh) in whose hand is the life of Muhammad, he who amongst the community of Jews or Christians hears about me, but does not affirm his belief in that which I have been sent and dies in this state (of disbelief) he shall be but one of the denizens of Hell-Fire”–(Muslim, Vol, 1, #284).
   Surely, any sensible person would go for an item that is the best in its group. Moreover when that item is free.

As for the injunction to “slay the unbelievers wheresoever ye find them,” this refers only to those who fight against the Muslims:
-“And fight in the way of Allāh against those who fight against you but be not aggressive. Surely Allāh loves not the aggressors. And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out, and persecution is worse than slaughter …”–(Qur’an 2:190-191).
The words kill them wherever you find them clearly refers to those of verse 290 who fight against you. And not to disbelievers everywhere.  You kill them to prevent them from regrouping to fight you again. This is also the practice of modern warfare. So where is the fault/problem with Islam/Mohammad doing it? 

Qur’an 9:5, “Slay the idolaters wherever you find them,” does not refer to all idolaters. Muhammad Ali explains:

“The clear exception of the last verse (9:4) shows that by the idolaters here are meant, not all idolaters or polytheists wherever they may be found in the world, not even all idolaters of Arabia, but only those idolatrous tribes of Arabia assembled at the pilgrimage who had at first made agreements with the Muslims and then violated them.  

The exception here has given rise to much misconception.  It is thought that it offers to the disbelievers the alternative of the sword or the Qur’an. Nothing is farther from the truth.  The injunction contained in the first part of the verse establishes the fact that the whole verse relates to certain idolatrous Arab tribes who had broken their engagements with the Muslims, and who had now been apprised of a similar repudiation by the Muslims.  The order to kill them and to make them prisoners and to besiege them and ambush them amounts clearly to an order to fight against them, as it is in war only that all these things are made lawful.  They had so often broken their word that they could no more be trusted.….The subject is further clarified in the next verse and the following section.”  (And the next verse says:  “And if anyone of the idolaters seek thy protection, protect him till he hears the word of Allah, then convey him to his place of safety.  This is because they are a people who know not” (9:6).
“This verse leaves no doubt that the Prophet was never ordered to kill anyone on account of his religion.  “You shall give him a safe conduct that he may return home again securely in case he shall not think fit to embrace Muhammadanism” (Sale).” (Comm.1033-1035).
(Notably,
There is no such term as “Muhammadanism”. Followers of Islam are Muslims). 

Qur’an 9:29 which reads: “Fight those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which Allāh and His Messenger have forbidden, nor follow the Religion of Truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgement of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.” To which Muhammad explains:  

“The last word on the wars with the idolaters of Arabia having been said, this verse introduces the subject of fighting with the followers of the Book. Though the Jews had for a long time assisted the idolatrous Arabians in their struggle to uproot Islam, the great Christian power, the Roman Empire, had only just mobilized its forces for the subjection of the new religion, and the Tabuk expedition followed, which constitutes the subject-matter of a large portion of what follows in this chapter. As the object of this Christian power was simply the subjection of the Muslims, the words in which their final vanquishment by the Muslims is spoken of are different from those dealing with the final vanquishment of the idolatrous Arabians. The Qur’an neither required that the idolaters should be compelled to accept Islam, nor was it in any way its object to bring the Christians into subjection. On the other hand, the idolaters wanted to suppress Islam by the sword, and the Christians first moved themselves to bring Muslim Arabia under subjection. The fate of each was, therefore, according to what it intended for the Muslims. The word jizyah is derived from jaza, meaning he gave satisfaction, and means, according to LL, the tax that is taken from the free non-Muslim subjects of the Muslim Government whereby they ratify the compact that ensures them protection; or, according to AH, because it is a compensation for the protection which is guaranteed them, the non-Muslim subjects being free from military service.  

The phrase ‘an yad-in has been explained variously. The word yad (lit., hand) stands for power or superiority, the use of the hand being the real source of the superiority of man over all other animals, and the apparent meaning of the phrase is in acknowledgement of your superiority in protecting their lives, etc. (AH). It may also be added that the permission to fight, as given to the Muslims, is subject to the condition that the enemy should first take up the sword, Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you (2:190). The Holy Prophet never overstepped this limit, nor did his followers. He fought against the Arabs when they took up the sword to destroy the Muslims, and he led an expedition against the Christians when the Roman Empire first mobilized its forces with the object of subjugating the Muslims. And so scrupulous was he that, when he found that the enemy had not yet taken the initiative, he did not attack the Roman Empire, but returned without fighting. Later on, however, the Roman Empire, like the Persians, helped the enemies of Islam and fomented trouble against the newly established Muslim Kingdom, as a result of which both these empires came into conflict with the Muslims and, notwithstanding the fact that both the Persians and the Romans were very powerful nations with unlimited resources and strong military organizations, and that they both tried at one and the same time to subjugate Islam, the result was what is predicted here in clear words — they were both reduced to a state of subjection by an insignificant nation like the Arabs.” 

That the Prophet’s duty was only to deliver the Message of the Qur’an and NOT enforce it is cemented in the following verses from Allāh:
-“And if thy Lord had pleased, all those who are in the earth would have believed, all of them. Wilt thou then force men till they are believers?”–(Qur’an 10:99);
-“And say: Truth is from your Lord; so let him who please believe, and let him who please disbelieve”–(Qur’an 18:29);
-“And obey Allāh and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away. the duty of Our Messenger is only to DELIVER (the message) clearly”–(Qur’an 64:12; also  2:272; 3:20; 5:95, 102; 10:99; 13:40; 16:82; 24:54; 29:18; 46:35).
   Islam is the “abode of peace”–(Qur’an 10:25).   

Contrastingly, it is Christianity that kills disbelievers. Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din points out in his revealing book The Sources of Christianity (p. 30):
“Mithraism came from Persia, where it seems to have been flourishing for about six hundred years….Mithraism has left no traces in the world, although it was so powerful in the third century A.D. that, had it not been  suppressed  in  Rome and Alexandria by the Christians with physical force, as has been admitted by St. Jerome, it would have left no chance for the flourishing of Christianity; and that it died only when most of its legends became incorporated in the simple faith of Jesus.”-(Emphasis/color added).

   -“And if it will make no peace with thee….thou shalt smite EVERY MALE thereof with the edge of the sword. But the WOMEN and the LITTLE ONES (girls)…shalt thou take unto thyself”–(Deuteronomy 20:12-14).
   -“And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded …And Moses said unto them…Now therefore kill every MALE among the LITTLE ONES (of the captives), and kill EVERY WOMAN who hath known man by lying with him, but ALL THE WOMEN CHILDREN, that have not known a man by lying with him (virgin girls, pubescent as well as prepubescent girls) KEEP ALIVE FOR YOURSELVES….

   –“But the HAND OF THE LORD was heavy upon them in Ashdod, and he destroyed them and SMOTE them with emerods (hemorrhoids)….the HAND OF THE LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he SMOTE the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts ….there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the HAND OF GOD was very heavy there. And the men that died not were SMITTEN with the emerods”–(1 Sam.5:6, 9, 11-12);  

  -The Christian’s God (“Jesus”) not only gave orders to “Strike off their heads” but also to “cut off “ “fingers and toes”: “And the Lord said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand…and they slew of them in Bezek TEN THOUSAND MEN…and they PURSUED after him (Adonibezek), and caught him and cut off his THUMBS and his GREAT TOES. And Adonibezek said, THREE SCORE AND TEN kings, having their THUMBS and their GREAT TOES CUT OFF…”–(Judges 1:1-7).  

   -“Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished”–(Isaiah 13:16);
   -even the fetus is not spared: “Everyone that is found shall be thrust through; and everyone that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword,”
-“and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall NOT spare children,”
-“Samaria…shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up”–Isaiah 13:15, 18; Hosea 13:16).

  God commands the Israelites to do to the people whose land they were going to possess:thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them, thou shalt make NO COVENANT  with them, NOR SHEW MERCY unto them”–(Deuteronomy 7:1-2. See Josh. 12:1-6).

   -“They have moved me to JEALOUSY with that which is not God….and I will move them to JEALOUSY with those who are not a people (they must be devils?); I will PROVOKE them to ANGER with a foolish nation. For a FIRE is kindled in mine ANGER, and shall burn in the lowest HELL….I will heap MISCHIEFS upon them; I will spend mine ARROWS upon them…. I will also send the TEETH OF BEASTS upon them, with the POISON OF SERPENTS of the dust. The SWORD without, and TERROR within, shall destroy both the YOUNG MAN and the VIRGIN, the SUCKLING also with the MAN OF GRAY HAIRS”–(Deut. 32:21-25). 

   “And stay ye not, but PURSUE AFTER YOUR ENEMIES, and SMITE THE HINDMOST OF THEM; SUFFER THEM NOT TO ENTER INTO THEIR CITIES: for the LORD YOUR GOD hath delivered them into your hand;”
“and Joshua called for all the men of Israel…Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings…And afterward
JOSHUA SMOTE THEM, and SLEW THEM, and HANGED THEM on five trees.”
“So Joshua
SMOTE ALL THE COUNTRY of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and ALL THEIR KINGS: HE LEFT NONE remaining, but UTTERLY DESTROYED ALL THAT  BREATHED, as the LORD GOD of Israel commanded…. And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD GOD of Israel fought for Israel;”
“And they
UTTERLY DESTROYED ALL that was in the city, both MAN AND WOMAN, YOUNG AND OLD, AND OX, AND SHEEP, AND ASS, with the EDGE OF THE SWORD
–(Joshua 10:19, 24, 26, 40-42; 6:21. Read Joshua chs. 10-12; Numbers 21:24, 35; 31:17-18; Deuteronomy 20:16-17; 1 Samuel 15:2-3, for slaughters by Joshua, Moses, and Saul).
It is Christians God that commands killing disbelievers; and to kill indiscriminately.     

            4. HOW MANY RELIGIONS DID ALLĀH REVEAL?
A religion from God should not be partial to any person, place or thing; a religion from God is to reflect our service to Him; such is Islam –peace, submission to God or obedient to the law of God.

While God gave guidance to prophets as required for their respective people and time. No prophet before Prophet Mohammad claimed to be the last prophet that would come or gave the name of a religion to follow. That is because God’s favor to man was not yet completed and man’s religion for all time not yet perfected.
The Arabs were the last people to receive Divine guidance. With  Revelation now given to the Arabs (between the years 610–632 After Christ), God’s favor to man was now completed and man’s religion perfected.
Prophet Mohammad’s mission was two-fold: to be Messenger to the Arabs and to unite all mankind under one Divine Constitution–the Qur’an “This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favour to you and chosen for you Islam as a religion”–(Qur’an 5:3). 

The names “Islam” (submission to God) and “Muslim” (one who submits to God) did not originate 1400 years ago with the Prophet Mohammad. Islam and Muslim are primeval; they date back to creation; only it was not yet known as Islam: This is made clear in Qur’an 41:11:
“Then He (Allāh) directed Himself to the heaven and it was a vapour, so He said to it and to the Earth: Come both, willingly or unwillingly. They both said: We come willingly”.
We ‘come willingly’ or submit to your command–Islam.  Islam was perfected and named through the Prophet Mohammad.
The Qur’an consists of teachings of previous prophets that are applicable to all time, and teachings not given to previous prophets; thus, the Qur’an consists of, exceeds and supersedes all Scriptures. See Qur’an.   

EVERY PERSON IS A MUSLIM:
Regardless of whatever one calls oneself, every person is a Muslim (one who submits to the Law or Will of God). There are two orders of Muslims: (1) Muslims by Compulsion (2) Muslims by Choice. As explained in the following:  

The sun and the moon and the planets all follow prescribed paths in their own orbit, and traverse within a given time. When two parts hydrogen combine with one part oxygen water is formed –they cannot form any other compound. Thus they are submitting to, or are being obedient to the law accorded them.
The seed of a plant must go through various stages between its germination and fruition. Each part must manifest in its’ proper sequence –i.e. it must develop root and stems before it can sprout leaves; and must blossom and flower before it can bear fruit –it cannot bear fruit before growing flowers; nor grow leaves before sprouting limbs. Thus, they are following or are being obedient to the laws accorded them.
In fact all things in nature exist on laws. From the microscopic atom to the gigantic orb, everything in creation is under the governance of some principle:  “Glorify the name of thy Lord, the Most High! Who creates, then makes complete, And Who measures, then guides”–(Qur’an 87:1-3; Also 25:2; 54:49). 

Similarly, we ourselves are subjected to laws to which we have no choice but to submit to, for example:
-when sperm is united with ovum conception results
-we are subjected to hunger, thirst, and death
-if we eat anything sugary we have no choice but to taste sweetness, and if we eat anything acid we have  no choice  but to taste sourness (unless we have a defect in taste)
   -when something is detonated we have no choice but to hear an explosion (unless we have a defect in hearing)
  -if we look at the sky, unless we have a defect of the eye, we have no choice but to see blue–we cannot force our eyes to show us a different color than is present.
In short we cannot dictate to our senses  

In these regards we are compelled to obey the Laws of Allah.  As such we are all Muslims by compulsion –submitting to Allah God without choice.
We are Muslims by choice in that we are given a free will to choose between right and wrong, to live a life of good or evil; to believe in Allah or not. It is because of this freedom to choose that we will be called on to account for our deeds.
As it is the nature of all things to function unwillingly according to Divine laws inherent in its creation, it is only natural that man should willingly govern himself according to the physical laws of Allah.
This law or way of life (which Allah has named Islam) was enjoined on all prophets before the Prophet Mohammad, as He revealed in Qur’an 42:13:
“He has made plain to you the religion which He enjoined upon Noah and which We have revealed to thee, and which We enjoined on Abraham and Moses and Jesus”.    

ISLAM BEGAN AS A STRANGER; WILL END AS A STRANGER:
One critic notes Prophet Mohammad as saying that Islam began as a strange thing and will end as a strange thing; blessed are the strangers. (The critic seems to view this as a defect in Islam).

Islam began as a strange thing (a stranger) in that Islam is Revolutionary. Islam is the only religion to institute 

  -the Universality of God; brotherhood of mankind; equality between man and woman;
-right of the poor in the wealth of the rich;
-liberation of the oppressed and his land (from the occupier/usurper); emancipating, aiding and educating the slave; promotes chastity and sobriety; promises retribution for injustice against the orphan; rationalizes against false belief and exposes religious falsehoods –Sonship of God, Trinity, original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement, Mariolatry, Monkery and Nunnery;  karma and reincarnation, “chosen people” to the exclusion of others, more than one Creator as in Parsi’s one Creator of Light and one of Darkness.
   For which Revolution this stranger was opposed and militated against by Jews, Christians and Idolaters who could not accept a system superior to their own; and wanted to preserve their primitive, illogical and un-Godly order.  

Islam will end as a strange thing (a stranger) in that it is vehemently opposed by those dedicated to preserving false beliefs. The Internet is bloated with atheists and Christians (also Hindus) trying to have Muslims apostatized and influence non-Muslims from Islam.

Like the former opponent of this stranger, the latter opponent of this stranger is also doomed to failure:
-“Surely, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (people) from the way of Allāh. So they will go on spending it, then it will be to them a regret, then they will be overcome”
-“He (Allāh) it is Who sent His Messenger (Mohammad) with guidance and the Religion of Truth (Islam), that He may cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists are averse”–(Qur’an 8:36; 9:33; 48:28; 61:9. Trinity is polytheism).

Blessed are the strangers. Blessed are the Muslims for upholding this lofty and sublime Divine Value System–ISLAM!
From 632 AC (After Christ) to 2021 AC no one has refuted Mohammad’s claim as Messenger of Allāh God; and from 2021 AC to the Resurrection no one can refute Mohammad’s claim as Messenger of Allāh God.
And no one can show a system superior to Shari’ah. (The book Shari’ah Supreme System – Christ vs. Christians by M.S. Ibrahim available at https://www.amazon.com/SHARIAH-SUPREME-SYSTEM-CHRIST-CHRISTIANS/dp/1777798116/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2KEKYV46R2MIQ&key words=shari%27ah+supreme+system&qid=1640458250&sprefix=shari%27ah+supreme+system%2 Caps%2C67&sr=8-1).

WAS MOHAMMAD’S SOUL THE FIRST SOUL ALLAH/GOD CREATED?
The Bible as well as the Qur’an teaches that we had a pre-existence before being sent into this world. In the Bible God says: “BEFORE I formed thee in the belly I knew thee…”–(Jeremiah 1:5). 

And in His Qur’an Allah/God tells us: 
“And when thy Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their loins, their descendants, and made them bear witness about themselves: Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes; we bear witness. Lest you should say on the day of Resurrection: We were unaware of this, Or (lest) you should say: Only our fathers ascribed partners (to Allah) before (us), and we were (their) descendants after them. Wilt Thou destroy us for what liars did?”–(Qur’an 7:172-173).   

One critic tries to denigrate Prophet Mohammad for saying that his soul was the first soul Allah created. (Can anyone refute this? You can ask Allāh when you meet him on the other side). 

That Mohammad was the first soul created. It is said that the first thing a novelist knows or ascertains is the ending of his novel, and works towards the ending.
A builder of a house would know before-hand the size of his house, the number of windows, etc. Reason would dictate that Allāh knowing how many prophets he would be sending also knew their names and in what order he would be sending them -for each prophet to know about another prophet to come Allah would have already created this prophet/soul to come.   
  Thus, Mohammad being the last and final prophet from God, and being foretold by prophets preceding him, Mohammad was correct in stating that Allāh created his soul first. This is why/how prophets were able to foretell the coming of Mohammad. 

Prophet Mohammad’s advent was foretold by various prophets under various names/titles. Prof. Abdul Ahad Dawud –“the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect”– has shown in his book Muhammad In The Bible that Prophet Mohammad is/was foretold in many prophecies of the Bible. (Published by IPCI –Islamic Propagation Centre International– Republic of South Africa; Telephone: (27-31) 306-0026).
   And Abdul Haque Vidyarthi has detailed several prophecies about Prophet Mohammad in his book, Muhammad In World Scriptures, Vol.1. Which may be obtained from www.muslim.org.
   Briefly, that the Prophet Mohammad is the Shiloh spoken of by Jacob, the prophet like Moses foretold by Moses, and the Comforter foretold by Jesus, see Judaism-no future. 

It may be stated that in the matter of creation and finality of prophethood, Mohammad was/is, respectively, the First and the Last –Alpha and Omega.
   Jesus says: “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he (Jesus) that came down from heaven, even the son of man which is in heaven”–(John 3:13). 
  If Jesus is the “Son of God” who came down from heaven and the son of man was yet in heaven (to come), who is this son of man? Prof. Abdul Ahad Dawud –“the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect”– has shown in his book Muhammad In The Bible that “Son of Man” (Barnasha) is the Prophet Mohammad.

WAS MOHAMMAD OF “EXALTED CHARACTER”?
Allah tells us in Qur’an 68:4 that Prophet Mohammad is of “an exalted standard of character.”
Critics charge how can a man who has/had intimate relations with a nine-year-old girl (referring to the Prophet’s marriage to ‘Aishah) be of “exalted character.” 

That Mohammad is of “exalted character” (best exemplar) Mohammad:
-liberated man from the degradation and futility of idolatry, the irrationality of polytheism, and the phantasm of superstition;
-took the stars from the grasp of the astrologer and sat them firmly into the laps of the astronomer;
-freed the slave, liberated woman and gave her rights that left her nothing for which to strive;
-ennobled the orphan;
-brought man from drunkenness to sobriety, from profligacy to chastity, from tribalism into brotherhood, from savagery into scholars of learning, and from camel drivers into “thrones of Caesars” (while the world was yet running around with flint tools and torches); 
 -was a leader, general, administrator, soldier, king, laborer, he cooked, mend his clothes and cobbled his shoes;
   -and after twenty years of persecution and war on him he forgave his most rabid enemies upon his triumph at Makkah –no inquisition; no incrimination; no confession; no rancor; only lofty words of benevolence and nobility -“No reproof be against you this day”! 
   If Mohammad is not deserving of the title “exalted character” (best exemplar) then no one can ever be.  

Prophet Mohammad was born into a custom that engaged in child marriages. As he could not change a practice of society until he received Divine revelation, the Prophet by marrying ‘Aishah and delaying consummation of his marriage to her, he was hoping to change society of pre-teen marriages by his action.
This practice of pre-teen marriage did end, as Muhammad Ali notes: “there is no case on record showing that the marriage of a minor through his or her guardian was allowed by the Prophet after details of the law were revealed to him at Madinah.” (The Religion of Islam, p.  601).
Muslims who marry minors have no recourse to Islam for such a marriage. The Prophet’s marriage to ‘Aishah is no precedent for Muslims. The Prophet not only postponed consummation of his marriage to ‘Aishah for five years, he also married women of advanced age, and had their free consent. He was not pandering to prurient desire(s).  

In contrast. Whereas Christians try to cast aspersions on the mortal Mohammad for his marriage to ‘Aishah, the Christian’s God, Jesus, gave little virgin girls to soldiers as war “booty” to be their sex slaves: “And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses….And Moses said unto them…Now therefore kill every MALE among the LITTLE ONES (of the captives), and kill EVERY WOMAN who hath known man by lying with him, but ALL THE WOMEN CHILDREN, that have not known a man by lying with him (virgin girls) KEEP ALIVE FOR YOURSELVES….and of WOMEN that had not known man by lying with him (virgin girls), were 32,000 (of which half, 16,000, went to the soldiers)…EVERYONE KEPT HIS BOOTY FOR HIMSELF”–(Numbers 31:1-53).   

Christians believe in:
   -Abraham who not only bed his father’s daughter, Sarah, which is a “wicked thing,” he hobbled Sarah’s handmaid, Hagar, and pregnant her–(Genesis 20:11-12; Leviticus 20:17; Genesis 16:1-4); 
   -Jacob who joyed with Bilhah and Zilpah, handmaids of his wives Rachel and Leah, and built tribes from their children–(Genesis 30:1-13); 
   -Judah, the grandfather of the Christian’s son of God (and even of God as Christian’s say Jesus is God), who played hide-and-seek with his daughter-in-law, Tamar, and made her fruit–(Genesis 38:11-18); 
   -David, in whom Jesus is “rooted,” who not only dallied with Uriah’s wife, Bathsheba, and sent the poor man to the battle-front to be killed, he had a young “virgin” keep him warm–(Revelation 22:16; 2 Samuel 11:2-5; 1 Kings 1:1-4; and Christians sing his praise to the extent of their lungs in melodious tones); David also had “his master’s wives”–(2 Samuel 12:8); 
   -Lot who built two nations with his two daughters–(Genesis 19:30-38. The ages of these daughters of Lot are not given; perhaps they were about the same age as ‘Aishah, and that Biblical girls had similar life-style as Arab girls). 
  -Solomon and his son, Rehoboam, who had over 350 “concubines” between the two of them–(1 Kings 11:3.2 Chronicles 11:21.  

The Christian’s God even gave David’s wives to David’s neighbors for him to have sex with David’s wives because of David’s adultery with Uriah’s wife and his sending Uriah to the battlefront to be killed: “Thus saith the Lord…I will take thy wives before thine eyes and give them to thine neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun….”-(2 Samuel 12:11-12) (God promoting adultery and having David’s wives desecrated for David’s crime?) 

Whereas Christians and critics crab at Mohammad, when it comes to speaking and writing about the sex-ploits about the prophets in whom they believe (and even in the unjust action of their “God”), Christians and critics become dumb and illiterate.
For Mohammad’s marriage to ‘Aishah see ‘Aisha & Mohammad.

WAS MOHAMMAD A PEDOPHILE?
As noted in the previous topic, Christians claim Prophet Mohammad was a pedophile (because he married 9-year-old ‘Aishah).  And that Mohammad’s pedophilia is driving Muslims away from Islam.
  

Prophet Mohammad lived in the Seventh century (After Christ). The word pedophile (origin about 1900) came from “pedophilia” (origin 1886). So, the ancient Mohammad is judged thirteen hundred years later by modern standard. Though in 1960 Christian America a fifty-year old man could have sex with a 7-year-old girl or boy.    

Wikipedia notes: “Pedophilia (alternatively spelt  paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.” (https://en.wikipediaorg/wiki/ Pedophilia). 

The question to Christians (and Muslims who left Islam because of Mohammad’s marriage to ‘Aishah) is, to which “prepubescent children” did Mohammad have “exclusive sexual attraction”?      And which is worse, Mohammad marriage to ‘Aishah OR

-the Christian God, Jesus (as Christians say Jesus is God) commanding people to eat cakes made with human dung and with cow dung
-and Abraham (whom Christians believe in) having sex with his half-sister his father’s daughter), Sarah –which is an abomination in the sight of God– and sex with his wife’s handmaid, Hagar–(Genesis 20:11-12; Leviticus 20:17; Genesis. 16:1-4);
-and Lot (whom Christians believe in) having sex with his two daughters (and so many times as to build two nations with them, the Ammonites and the Moabites)
-and Jacob having sex with his wives’ handmaids, Bilhah and Zilpah, building tribes of Israel with them–(Genesis 30:1-13)
-and Judah (Jesus’ grandfather) engaging in prostitution, having sex with his daughter-in-law, Tamar, in exchange for a goat kid–(Genesis 38:11-18)
-and the Christian God consigning thirty-two thousand (32,000) hapless little virgin girls as booty/sex-slaves to Jewish soldiers and priests–(Numbers 31:1-53)
-and the Christian God giving David’s wives to David’s neighbor for this neighbor to have sex with David’s wives– (2 Samuel 12:11). 

Except for ‘Aishah, the remainder of Mohammad’s twelve wives were old, divorcees or women captives of war.  It is significant to know Mohammad’s reasons for his multiple marriages. Which reasons are manifold:  

(1) Social –married Safiyyah, a high-born Jewess captive of war to maintain her social status.
(2) Federal –to effect unity between tribes; one such marriage was to Hafsa; the Prophet’s marriage to ‘Aishah was three-fold: Divine revelation–(Bokhari Vol. 7, # 15; to effect unity between tribes; and to put an end to marriages with pre-teen girls.
(3) Diplomatic –accepted Mary, the Coptic, as gift from ruler of Egypt, (Solomon also engaged in diplomatic marriages: “To secure diplomatic and commercial treaties Solomon contracted marriage with various princesses”–Ency. Brit; 15th Ed; Vol. 2, p. 913).
(4) Religious expediency –married many widows of war,
(5) Divine instructions –married Zainab as per Qur’an 33:36-37.  

For twenty-five years Mohammad lived a life of celibacy.  For twenty-nine years, from 25-54, he lived in a monogamous marriage with a woman fifteen years his senior.  Only from 54 did he enter into multiple marriages. After the death of his first wife, Khadijah, Mohammad married Saudah, “a widow of advanced age;” then ‘Aishah; Hafsah, a widow; Zainab, “daughter of Khuzaimah,” a widow; Umm Salmah, a widow; Zainab, the former wife of Zaid; Umm Habibah, a widow; Juwairiyah, Maimunah, and Safiyyah, three widows taken as war captives, whose marriages “in each case” “led to the union and pacification of a whole tribe;” and in the case of his marriage to Juwairiyah “a hundred families” of her tribe, “the Bani Mustaliq” “was at once liberated by the Muslims;” and Mary, the Coptic. (Muhammad Ali, comm. Qur’an 33:50).  

What pedophile is there –and a king/ruler at that with a legion of “prepubescent” girls and budding nubiles under his command– who would live sex-less for twenty-five years; lived a monogamous life for twenty-nine years; and would marry elder and matron women instead of poaching “prepubescent” girls?  

If a numbskull as me should make the claim that Mohammad was a “pedophile” it may be snickered at and even overlooked; but coming from people who plume themselves as intelligentsia and repositories and dispensers of knowledge, one in hard-pressed to not wonder which end these Christians (and other critics of Mohammad) were sitting on when they penned/lipped such stupidity about Mohammad. Or what they must be smoking. Locoweed, perhaps!  

As noted in the previous topic, child-marriage in Arabia came to an end when details of the law were revealed at Madinah.
To label Mohammad “pedophile” is libel.

CONCLUSION: As already shown, the Christian’s God, Jesus, gave “32,000” little virgin girls as war booty to soldiers and priests.  Evidently, it is Jesus/Christianity that  espouses pedophilia. And considering that Christians say the Bible is to the end of the world, the Bible/Jesus/Christianity allows/sanctions pedophilia to the end of the world. 

That the Christian God tells people to eat cakes made with human/cow’s dung see Christians-eating cakes of human dung.
Regarding the critics so-called “scandal” see Zainab scandal, and Hafsa scandal. And for the critic’s charge that Mohammad was a “child molester” see ‘Aisha & Mohammad.

DID MOHAMMAD GO TO HEAVEN ON A WINGED HORSE? Critics try to denigrate Muslims/Islam because Mohammad is said to have journeyed to heaven on a winged horse (Buraq).

   -As Elijah can go to heaven in a chariot, surely Mohammad can go to heaven on a horse–(2 Kings 2:11).
   -As Jesus can float to heaven, surely Mohammad can go to heaven on a horse–(Mark 16:19; Luke 24:51).
  -As Enoch can be translated to heaven, surely Mohammad can go to heaven on a horse–(Genesis 5:24; Hebrews 11:5).
   -As Joshua can make the sun and moon stand still, surely Mohammad can go to heaven on a horse–(Joshua 10:12-13).
  -As Balaam’s ass can speak to Balaam, surely Mohammad can go to heaven on a horse–(Numbers 22:28, 30).
 -As the demon can throw the earth into the cosmic ocean (as Hinduism teaches), surely Mohammad can go to heaven on a horse.
   -As Krishna can lift Mount Goverdhana on/by his little finger (as Hinduism teaches), surely Mohammad can go to heaven on a horse.
  -As Shiva’s linga/phallus can fall to earth and burn everything (as Hinduism teaches), surely Mohammad can go to heaven on a horse.

However, unlike the fantastic, Prophet Mohammad going to heaven on a winged horse was NOT a literal occurrence; it was a spiritual journey. Qur’an 17:60 speaks of Allāh showing the Prophet “the vision”:  “And We made not the VISION which We showed thee (Mohammad) but a trial for men”.
That this journey was spiritual seemed to be confirmed by the Prophet: 

The Prophet said he was in a state between sleep and wakefulness when this event, Miraj, occurred–(Bokhari Vol. 4, #429). And Bokhari Vol. 9, #608 reports that three angels came to the Prophet while he was “SLEEPING” in the Ka’bah, and that when the Prophet saw them “HIS EYES WERE ASLEEP BUT HIS HEART WAS NOT –AND SO IS THE CASE WITH THE PROPHETS: THEIR EYES SLEEP WHILE THEIR HEARTS DO NOT SLEEP”; and at the end of the journey the Prophet then “WOKE” in the Ka’bah. This supports the view that the Mi’raj was a spiritual experience of the Prophet.

This narration also says that the angels carried the Prophet to the Zam-Zam well, where Gabriel “cut open” the Prophet’s chest area and removed “all the material out of his chest and abdomen” and then washed the inside of his body with Zam-Zam water and then stuffed the Prophet’s “chest and throat blood vessels” with “belief and wisdom” and then closed the chest–(Bokhari Vol. 9, #608).
It may be advanced that since Mohammad was a Prophet and believed in Allāh why was it necessary to fill his body with belief? Also, wisdom and belief are not physical factors so as to require a physical insertion of them into the body. This seems to be another proof that the Mi’raj was a spiritual experience.

DID MOHAMMAD SAY MAN ORIGINALLY WAS 60 CUBITS TALL? Critics try to denigrate Islam/Muslims because Prophet Mohammad is reported to have said that Allah created Adam 60 cubits tall.
    “The Prophet said, Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him, “Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your reply (salutation) and the greeting (salutation) of your offspring…… (Prophet Mohammad said after Adam’s interaction with the angels) “Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam’s creation”–(Bokhari Vol. 4, #543; Vol. 8, #246). 
   This Hadith shows that Adam was in heaven at the time when he was created 60 cubits tall. And when we enter Paradise we will be “60 cubits tall” as the hadith says; “Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure).”
   The question is, was Adam 60 cubits tall when he was set on earth? The other question is, did the Prophet say “60 (sittin) cubits” (90 feet) or did he say 6 (sitta) cubits (9 feet) and his saying was mis-transmitted? (which mis-transmission was not uncommon, as noted from Hazrat ‘Ali at the beginning of this page).
   Whether the Prophet said Adam was created “60 cubits” or “6 cubits”, or if he was referring to Adam as being “60 cubits” in heaven only, we will have to wait and ask him when we get to the other side.
It is useless/pointless to speculate. Or make an issue of the Hadith.

         5. WAS JESUS A MUSLIM & TAUGHT ISLAM?
As noted above Islam and Muslim predate mankind. Jesus declares he is a MUSLIM  (one who submits to God):

   -“My meat is to do the will of HIM (God) that SENT me and to finish HIS work”; “I came…not to do mine own will, BUT THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME”–(John 4:34; 6:38. If Jesus was God, God sent Himself; God was sent by someone else; God finished someone else’s work).

  -“I can of mine own self do NOTHING…. because I seek NOT MY OWN WILL, but the WILL OF THE FATHER which hath SENT me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is NOT TRUE”–(John 5:30-31);

  -“My doctrine is not mine, BUT HIS THAT SENT ME”–(John 7:16).
-“HE (God) gave me a commandment, WHAT I SHOULD SAY, AND WHAT I SHOULD SPEAK”–(John 12:49).
If Jesus was God or Son of God, the Christian’s God and Son of God is/was a MUSLIM. 

Jesus taught Islam (submission to God):

   -“if thou wilt enter into life, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS”; “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: ALL therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that OBSERVE AND DO”–(Matthew 19:17-18; 23:2-3).

   -“except your RIGHTEOUSNESS shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, YE SHALL IN NO CASE ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN”–(Matthew 5:20).

 -“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you FOR EVER;” “When he, the Spirit of truth (the Comforter), is come, he will guide you into ALL TRUTH”–(John 14:15-16; 16:13).
As eternal life lies in following the Mosaic Law until the arrival of the Comforter (Mohammad) JESUS IS NOW REDUNDANT; no one needs him (though he, as all prophets, is to be honored as Muslims honor him with “peace and blessings of Allāh”).
As the Comforter will guide into “all truth” and “abide forever,” the Bible, devoid of “all truth” and perpetuity, is OBSOLETE. 

Whereas Jesus was the only name, life and way to God for his time and people, from Jesus’ own mouth –Mohammad having brought “all truth” and abiding “for ever” (through the Qur’an) and as no religion can be shown to be superior to, or equal with, Islam– Mohammad is now the only name and truth and life and way to God. NO MAN COMETH TO GOD BUT BY PROPHET MOHAMMAD. (That Prophet Mohammad is the Comforter, see Jesus-Comforter).

Incidentally: There are many in the past who prayed as Mulsims pray -with bent knees and prostrate on the ground:

  1. Abraham “fell on his face”–(Genesis 17:3)
  2. Moses and Aaron “fell upon their faces”–(Numbers 20:6)
  3. Balaam “bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face”–(Numbers 22:31)
  4. Joshua “fell on his face to the earth and did worship” – (Joshua 5:14)
  5. Elijah “cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees”–(1 Kings 18:42)
  6. Even “beasts fell down and worshipped God”–(Revelation 19:4. All creatures worship Allah in their own mode–Qur’an 16:49; 17:44; 24:41).
    Like “beasts”, Jesus also bowed to and prayed (three times) to Allah to be spared death:
       -“Then he (Jesus) saith unto them (disciples), My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death….and he went a little farther, and FELL ON HIS FACE, and PRAYED, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup (death) pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as THOU wilt….”–(Matthew 26:37-44).
       -“And he (Jesus)…kneeled down, and prayed…And  being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground…”–(Luke 22:41-44).

    If Father, Son and Holy Ghost/Spirit is/are one, Jesus was either praying/agonizing to himself or to Satan. (See item #2 for Christians claim Allah got his name wrong).

Christians claim Jesus was greater than Mohammad because Jesus performed miracles whereas Prophet Mohammad did not. But a prophet performing miracles does not make him greater than a prophet who did not perform; it reflects the greatness of God.
The invitation to Christians is, produce physical evidence that Jesus performed miracles. (See Miracles). 
The only miracle Prophet Mohammad claimed is the Qur’an; and scientists today are verifying its miraculous nature, see Qur’an-science.

                                6. DOES JESUS LOVE US,
                             IS JESUS PRINCE OF PEACE?
Jesus loves us: As prophet of God (and even as God/son of God as Christians crown Jesus) Jesus is expected to love all people/races. But as the Gospels portray him, Jesus loves his own people –Jews! Jesus’ love thine neighbors and enemies, bless them that curse you and to give the other cheek were only to end Jewish mutual enmity.
From his own declarations Jesus was wholly and solely a Jewish tribal prophet and he bequeaths to the world a blazing legacy of fire, sword, hate and division to the Resurrection.  

Jesus unequivocally declared he was sent only to Jews, considered Gentiles dogs and swine unworthy of the Jewish children’s “bread” and “pearl” and he even preached in parables to keep non-Jews out of heaven.  

   -“I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel”–(Matthew 15:24). “I pray for them: I pray not for the world”–(non-Jews, take note. John 17:9)  

   -“For the Son of man is come to seek and save that (Jews) which was lost”–(Luke 19:10).  

   -go not to the Gentiles and the Samaritans, but “to the lost sheep of the house of Israel”–(Matthew 10:5-6).  

   -“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine (non-Jews)”–(Matthew 7:6). “It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast is to dogs–(Matthew 15:26)  

  -“Ye (Samaritans) worship ye know not what: we (Jews) know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews” (non-Jews take note–John 4:22). 

  -after relating the parable of the sower to the people, when Jesus was alone with the Israelites they asked him about the meaning of the parable: “You have been given the secret of the Kingdom of God,” Jesus answered. “But the others, who are on the outside, hear all things by means of parables, so that, ‘They may look and look, yet not see; they may listen and listen, yet not understand. FOR IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD TURN TO GOD, AND HE WOULD FORGIVE THEM’”–(Mark 4:9-12).
In other words, though non-Jews, who may be seekers of God, have the faculties of sight and hearing and can see and hear, Jesus spoke in parables so they would not understand his words because he did not want them to accept God and have their sins forgiven. (This is another proof Jesus did not come to save the world).
   For Jesus and the Samaritan woman–(John chapter 4) which Christians try to use as proof that Jesus was liberator of women and equalizer of the sexes, see Jesus-liberates women. 

Jesus bequeaths to the world a blazing legacy of fire, sword, hate and division and to the Resurrection:   

   -it is not “peace and “love” to denigrate people as “dogs and “swine” (which are considered the lowest/basest of creatures)  

   -it is not “peace” and “love” to slaughter enemies opposed to your rule (though they would not militate against you)–Luke 19:27); 

   -It is not “peace” and “love” to send FIRE and DIVISION:  

   (i) Jesus says: “I am come to send FIRE on the earth”–(Luke 12:49).   

   (ii) Jesus says: “Think NOT that I am come to send peace on earth: I came NOT to send peace, but a SWORD”–(Matthew 10:34).  

  (iii) Jesus says: “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth, Nay; but rather DIVISION: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; and the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law”–(Luke 12:51-53).
(This division is not theological. Jesus is specific about this division: “three against two, and two against three”; “father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother.” this is not necessarily so in theology; they can all share the same belief. Moreover, Jesus is definitive about who and how many will be “divided” against the other. Be it theology or secularity people can be of the same or different persuasion and be either civil or antagonistic to each other. See next two items). 

   (iv) Jesus says: “If any man come to me, and HATE NOT his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple”–(Luke 14:26. These members can all “come” to Jesus but Jesus yet decreed they are to “hate” one another).
In contrast, Prophet Mohammad enjoined Muslims to keep good relations with pagan parents –(Bokhari Vol. 4; #407; Vol. 3, #789; Muslim Vol. 3, #’s 4257, 4260. The only matter in which a Muslim is not to abide by his/her parents is that which conflicts with the commandments of Allāh; but we are yet to be respectful to parents: “We have enjoined on man goodness to parents. But if they contend with thee to associate (others) with Me, of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not”; “And if they strive with thee to make thee associate with Me that of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not, and keep kindly company with them in this world”–(Qur’an  29:8; 31:15).
In fact, service to parents is so critical, Prophet Mohammad is reported to have said, “It is a pity that young persons may lose paradise by not serving old parents; paradise lies at a mother’s feet. Allāh’s pleasure is in a father’s pleasure; His displeasure in a father’s displeasure”–(Ref. Sahih Muslim Vol. 4, #6189. Tirmidhi, 1899). 

   (v) Jesus says: “For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household”–(Matt. 10:35-37). These are diabolical decrees.  
Again, be it theology or secularity people can be of the same or different belief and be either civil or antagonistic to each other.
Instead of Jesus being “Prince of peace” and “love” and “Christianity” the religion of “love,” Jesus, as portrayed by the Bible, was a Fascist and rabid war-monger and Christianity the religion of discord and destruction. This is not surprising considering that the Christian God “Jesus” is a “man of war”: “The Lord is a man of WAR”–(Exodus 15:3).

Jesus was in no position to forgive anyone. His cry, “Father, forgive them” is pointless. His “crucifiers” and Judas could not be in need of forgiveness: they are to be praised by Christians for fulfilling scripture.

It is Mohammad who “loves” us. Mohammad not only gave Allāh God’s Word clearly and equally to all. And Mohammad not only preached love, mercy and forgiveness but in the greatest demonstration of love, mercy and forgiveness the world has ever known he, upon his triumph at Makkah:
“It is related that the Prophet took hold of the two sides of the gate of the Ka’ba on the day of the conquest of Makkah and said to the Quraish: How do you think I should treat you?  They said: We hope for good, a noble brother and the son of a noble brother.  Then he said: I say as my brother Joseph said: “No reproof be against you this day”(Rz)”-(M. Ali, comm.  Qur’an 12:92).
No inquisition. No incrimination. No confession. No rancor. Only lofty words of benevolence and nobility -“No reproof be against you this day”! –(For this saying of the prophet Joseph see Qur’an 12:92).
   Mohammad even forgave the horrid Hind. The woman who is said to have cut open the body of his uncle, Hamza, as he lay dying on the battlefield and ripped out his liver and chewed it. Such is the expanse of the “love” of enemies, mercy, forgiveness and magnanimity of this wonderful man Mohammad. 

As Professor Abdul Ahad Dawud B.D. –“the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect”– points out in his revealing book Muhammad in the Bible:
“all the blood shed in the wars of Badr, Ohud, and other campaigns led personally by the Prophet Muhammad, could not exceed one-hundredth of the blood shed by Joshua. Yet not a single instance of cruelty or injustice can be proved against the Apostle of Allāh. He was clement, noble, magnanimous, and forgiving.”

Prophet Mohammad even prayed for his dead enemy; saying: “if I knew that if I asked forgiveness for him more than seventy times, he would be forgiven, I would ask it for more times than that”–(Qur’an 9:84, 113. Bokhari Vol. 6, #193, 194).  

Jesus prince of peace: Jesus may not have fought any war (as Christians like to point out) but there is nothing docile or pacifistic about the leader who tells his followers to sell their coats and buy swords –metaphorical swords cannot cut off literal ears, as Christians like to baptize the blade (Luke 22:36, 22:50)– and to slay his enemies who did not want him to rule over them–(Luke 19:27.
Jesus saying those who take up the sword would perish by the sword was no philosophy, as the context shows it was fact-of-the-moment; their “two” novice swords against skilled swordsmen was instant death; what Jesus was saying is: if you take up the sword we being out-sworded they will shred us. Jesus was being practical–Matthew 26:52; Luke 22:38).  

Jesus was not forced into war. Mohammad was forced into war. The enemy, without justification, persecuted Mohammad, besieged him, tried to assassinate him, forced him into exile, pursued, and made war on him. What would you do should someone, even with justification, come to kill you and or your family? Had the enemies left Mohammad to his preaching they would not have lost their heads and wallets. Mohammad fought to end persecution. 

In contrast to Mohammad, Jesus, and as Christians say Jesus is God, Jesus was instrumental in the bloodiest episodes in Scriptural history: Jesus was complicit in all the wars and killings –from Moses, Joshua, Saul, Gideon, David, to Solomon– where not even the “ox, and sheep, and ass” were spared the “edge of the sword”–(Deuteronomy 7:1-2; Joshua 10:40, 12:1-6).
Christianity, as the Bible confirms, is a cauldron of conflict and carnage: the Christians’ God “Jesus” “is a man of war”: “The Lord is a MAN OF WAR: the Lord is his name”–(Exodus 15:3).  

Christianity even gives little virgin girls to soldiers as war booty (and to the resurrection as Christians believe the Bible is the word of God for all time):
“And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew ALL THE MALES….And they brought the CAPTIVES and the prey and the spoil to Moses…
And Moses said…Now therefore KILL every MALE among the LITTLE ONES (of the captives), and KILL EVERY WOMAN who hath known man by lying with him. But ALL THE WOMEN CHILDREN, that have not known a man by lying with him (virgin girls) KEEP ALIVE FOR YOURSELVES….
And the BOOTY ….which the men of war had caught was 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, and 61,000 asses, and of WOMEN that had not known man by lying with him (virgin girls), were 32,000. And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war (SOLDIERS), was….16,000 persons (virgin girls). And of the congregation’s half portion of these 16,000 virgin girls, 320 were given to the Levite priests. And….the men of war (SOLDIERS) had taken SPOIL (BOOTY), EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF”–(Numbers chapter 31:7-53.  As Christians say Jesus is God, according to this Jesus sanctions pedophilia).
(For Mohammad’s marriage to ‘Aishah which Christians and atheists use to denigrate Mohammad see ‘Aisha & Mohammad). 

   (ii) Jesus advocated murder: “He that is not with me is against me” (a person can be neutral); and he commanded genocide: “those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me” (and a person against his rule would not necessarily militate against him)–(Matthew 12:30; Luke 19:27). If these sayings of Jesus were implemented some five billion people that do not accept Jesus as Divine and vicarious atoner would be slain.
   Perhaps, these are the verses that gave birth to the barbarous Crusades that savaged Jews and Muslims and the Americas, and also birth to the Residential Schools in Canada that had Jesus Christ beaten into hundreds of Indigenous children. Even unto death!

As Muhammad Husayn Haykal aptly and succinctly points out in his scholarly exposition The Life of Muhammad (1976): “From the dawn of Christianity until today every country of the world has been soaked with blood in the name of Jesus Christ”-(p. 213).

DOES JESUS COME IN DREAMS/VISIONS TO PEOPLE?
There are people that claim to have seen Jesus in a dream/vision. Do these people know what Jesus looked like to substantiate that it was Jesus they saw?
   “During the first three centuries of the Christian Church, however, there was no Christian art, and the Church resisted it with all its might…Only when the Christian Church became the Roman imperial church under Emperor Constantine in the early 4th century were pictures used in the churches.”-(Ency. Brit. 15th. Edn; Vol. 4; Art and iconography, p. (501) 502).
   Thus for 300 years after Christ there seemed to have been no image/picture (or oral physical description) of Christ to be transmitted down to later generations for them to know what he looked like.
How then can the seers-of-Christ two millenniums later, know it was Jesus they saw in their dreams? A person in one’s dream can claim to be anyone and would be believed, unless the dreamer is familiar with the person; and knows the person’s voice if his face is obscured. 

Given that Jesus was a Jew, why did/does the Church create/promote a European Christ? –white skin, blue eyes, and golden hair. Is the Church ashamed of the race/nationality of her God/son of God? or was Jesus given the make-over to make him appealing to Gentiles, as Paul had dressed Jesus as Son of God to make him acceptable to pagans?
   The answer is obvious. Trying to sell a “hook-nosed” black Jewish son of God to white people who believe God is a white man would truly be like trying to push a camel through the eye of a needle. 

Jesus declared that God sent him only for Jewsthat he prayed only for them and NOT for the world and he preached in parables to keep non-Jews out of heaven and that eternal life lies in observing the Ten Commandments (given to Moses) until the arrival of the Comforter who will then Guide into “all truth” and will “abide for ever.”
   So, even if these individuals did see Jesus, what was Jesus conveying to them?
   It is stupefying that on earth Jesus Christ had no “bread” to give or “pearl” to cast to non-Jews “dogs” and “swine”, and now he is coming from heaven as phantom in dreams and visions to these non-Jews “dogs” and “swine” and telling them to follow Trinity and original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement which were invented by man instead of telling them to follow the Comforter who will guide them into “all truth” and “abide for ever”. 
  But as Jesus would not give contradictory doctrines, the apparition the “dreamers” and “visioners” are seeing could only be an impersonator dedicated to lead man away from God. Satan.   

And this Comforter as Prof. Abdul Ahad Dawud –“the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect”– has shown in his revealing book Muhammad in the Bible is the Prophet Mohammad. 
   Thus, people who claim to see Jesus, and if it was Jesus, obviously Jesus was impressing upon them to keep his commandments–(John 14:15) and to follow him by following the ComforterMOHAMMAD. 

Muslims are to know that Satan even comes in dreams to lead people astray; the only person Satan cannot impersonate is the Prophet Mohammad; so if you know what the Prophet looked like –and it is doubtful that any Muslim of today knows this– and you see him in a dream you can be certain it is him–(Bokhari Vol. 8, #217; Vol. 9, #123).  Prophet Mohammad would not exhort you to follow doctrines that contradict with the Qur’an.
                                                                                           * 

                               7.  IS JESUS SAVIOR?
Jesus says “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die” (in which event, as Muslims believe in Jesus; as well as in all the other prophets, Muslims “shall never die”)–(John 11:25-26).
Jesus was the resurrection in that he “resurrected” the spiritual dead; and he is the life in that he gives them eternal life/heaven through his teaching them Divine guidance. This is corroborated by Jesus:

   -“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on HIM (God) that SENT me, hath everlasting life, and shall NOT come into condemnation; but is passed from death into life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and NOW IS (the hour), when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and THEY THAT HEAR SHALL LIVE”–(John 5:24-25).
Clearly, Jesus is speaking about the SPIRITUAL “dead” of his time hearing his voice “NOW” and they who heed him “SHALL LIVE” (have a heavenly life).
It would be quite a camel to swallow to cerebrate that the physical “dead” can hear Jesus (or anyone) considering “the dead know NOT anything” and “there is NO work, NOR device, NOR KNOWLEDGE, NOR WISDOM, in the grave, WHITHER THOU GOEST”–(Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10).
   In which case all prophets are the “resurrection and the life” to their respective people. 

In Matthew 26:39 and 27:46, respectively, Jesus prayed to GOD to be saved; and he cried in despair to GOD when he believed that GOD had forsaken him: “O my FATHER (GOD), if it be possible, let this cup (death) pass from me;”  “My GOD, my GOD,  why hast thou FORSAKEN me?”
Such servile and ignominious words do not befit the lips of one who saves (or came to die willingly for the sins of others). THEY ARE THE WORDS OF ONE WHO WANTS TO BE “SAVED.” 

Like in the physical world, Jesus does not save his people (or anyone else) in the Spiritual world. He left the saving of people in the spiritual world to Moses and the Comforter. Jesus tells his people:

   -“The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that OBSERVE AND DO;”
-“if thou wilt enter life, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS (brought by Moses);”
-“except your RIGHTEOUSNESS shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall IN NO CASE enter into the kingdom of heaven;”
-“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;” “When he, the Spirit of truth (the Comforter), is come, he will guide you into ALL TRUTH”–Matt. 23:2-3; 19:16-19; 5:20; John 16:13; 14:15-16; 15:26). Notably, as eternal life lies in following the Mosaic Law JESUS IS REDUNDANT; no one needs him; and as the Comforter will guide into “all truth” and “abide forever,” the Bible, devoid of “all truth” and perpetuity, is OBSOLETE.
  These exhortations by Jesus clearly show that Jesus does NOT save any one.  

In fact, Jesus made it even clearer when he declared:  

 -“I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to REPENTANCE” (not to vicarious atonement)–(Matthew 9:13).  

-“And when ye stand praying, FORGIVE, if ye have anything against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may FORGIVE you your trespasses, But if you do NOT forgive, NEITHER will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses”–(Mark 11:25-26; Luke 17:3-4).   

-“When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven… FORGIVE US OUR SINS; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but DELIVER US FROM EVIL”–(Luke 11:2-4).

 -“I tell you…except ye REPENT, ye shall all likewise perish”–(Luke 13:3, 5).
-“I say unto you, there is JOY in the presence of the angels of God over ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH”–(Luke 15:10).  

-“The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation (of Jews) and shall condemn it: because they REPENTED at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, a greater than Jonas is here” (that is to say, the people of Jonas repented but Jews do not repent even though Jesus who is greater than Jonas is preaching to them)–(Matthew 12:41).     

Jesus was not sent to “save” anyone. Jesus was sent to call “sinners to REPENTANCE.”
By repenting and following the prophet’s teaching MAN, through the mercy of God, SAVES HIMSELF.
That it is GOD only who “saves” is substantiated further by Jesus himself; Jesus says:
“fear him (GOD) which is able to destroy BOTH soul and body in hell”–(Matthew 10:28).
  And God declares:
“I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me THERE IS NO SAVIOUR” –(Isaiah 43:11).

IN SUMMARY: Only God can save. Whereas God is the Primary Savior by sending prophets to give guidance; by following the prophet’s teaching man saves himself. God being the giver of guidance and the One that grants mercy and forgiveness, God is the Ultimate and Only savior. As Jesus aptly said it, we are to fear God Who can destroy both soul and body in Hell.”                                                          *

        8. WHAT KIND OF SON OF GOD IS JESUS?
God is a Spirit–(John 4:24). Fatherhood (begetting, as Jesus is hailed “begotten” son of God) requires the union of sperm and ovum. Even if Spirit can reproduce with human, Mary was not the consort/wife of God so that her son, Jesus, should be crowned “son of God”. As Jesus was NO literal son of God. What kind of “son of God” was Jesus?

Isaiah 7:14 states that a child will be born to a “virgin”. Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din reveals in his book The Sources of Christianity (p. 37):

“The Gospel of St. Matthew no doubt makes the birth of Jesus a fulfillment of a prophecy by Isaiah (7:14) which it quotes in the following words: “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us” (Matthew 1:23).
But the oldest manuscripts of Isaiah do not read “virgin,” but “young woman.” And the original is not “shall conceive,” but “is with child” –i.e. had already conceived. Moreover, it does not state that “they shall call” his name Emmanuel or Immanuel, but “thou shalt,” it being a command to King Ahaz so to call a child about to be born; which child, as an encouragement to the King, Isaiah prophesied would be a boy, and therefore a sign of good luck. And the Child was called –Jesus.
“The fact that in the later versions of the Hebrew, such as the Septuagint and Vulgate, the word used for ‘young woman’ has been altered into ‘virgin’ is very significant. The misrepresentation of Isaiah’s reference to a young woman, who, at the time the prophet spoke, was about to bear a child…is clear evidence of an attempt to connect a presumably real Jesus with the Sun-God,” all of whose other incarnations came from a Virgin Mother.” (pp. 37-38. This material can also be read with other texts at Christianity-is paganism).

Jesus is NOT “God with us”; only his NAME means “God with us”: “a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his NAME Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the  evil and choose the good”–(Isaiah 7:14-15. Though there is no place in the Gospel where Jesus is addressed as “Immanuel.” (My name meaning “moon’ does not mean I am a moon).
   If Jesus is God, Christians must be the biggest mocking-stock in the intellectual world for espousing that God needs to eat butter and honey to be able to differentiate between evil and good. If Jesus is “God with us” Satan must the one who “sent” Jesus and the one to whom Jesus “ascend(ed).” 

Paul taught Jesus had a human father:
(a) “Therefore (David) being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the FRUIT OF HIS LOINS, ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne”–(Acts 2:30);
(b) “Concerning his Son Jesus Christ…which was made of the SEED OF DAVID ACCORDING TO THE FLESH”–(Romans 1:3);
(c) “Remember that Jesus Christ of the SEED OF DAVID”–(2 Timothy 2:8). And “seed” is sperm, and “according to the flesh” is sexual intercourse. (That Mary would conceive of the Holy Ghost-Matthew 1:18-20; Luke 1:35; see Jesus-had s-x with his mother). 
(John Dominic Crossan in his book The Essential Jesus–Original Sayings and Earliest Images, Published by Harper San Francisco, p.34, shows a baptizing scene with John the Baptist with Jesus as a young child). (For Jesus birth in the Qur’an see Jesus birth in Bible & Qur’an).
Thus, we have Jesus as being of doubtful/forged “virgin”/ “immaculate” conception. So what kind of Son of God is Jesus?

The Gospel of John –chapter 3 verse 16 (which will be dealt with later)– refers to Jesus as “begotten Son” of God. But the word “begotten” has been removed from the RSV Bible and the Good News Bible.
If the Bible is “all” word of God, as Christians would have the world believe, why remove the word “begotten”? Because to “beget” requires sexual intercourse, and in this case it implies that God had sex with Mary (God forbid!). So the RSV and Good News Bibles, wisely, performed “abortion” on/of “begotten”.
As Jesus is NOT God’s “begotten” son, what kind of son of God was Jesus? 

Matthew 3:13-17 says that after Jesus was baptized (God needs to be baptized?), “A VOICE from HEAVEN (came), saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”.
   Is this “A” voice God’s or Satan’s in his vow to lead Christians astray by having them give relations to God, as he later had the Church Fathers give God three heads -Trinity?.
According to Jesus, speaking two chapters after his baptism, this “A” voice is definitely not God’s voice. Speaking about God, Jesus said: “Ye have neither heard his voice AT ANY TIME, nor seen his shape”–(John 5:37).  As no one has ever heard God’s voice at anytime (which also proves that Jesus is not God), Jesus being God’s “beloved” son is dubious.
Thus, so far we have, Jesus is NOT “begotten” Son of God and is a dubious son of God.  So what kind of “Son” of God was Jesus? 

According to the Bible God has a jungle of sons, and even daughters: 

-Adam is son of God–(Luke 3:38);
-Solomon is son of God–(1 Chronicles 28:6);
-David is begotten son of God–(Psalm 2:7);
-Israel is son of God, even His “first-born”–(Exodus 4:22);
-All the sons of God shouted for joy–(Job 38:7);
-Ephraim is “firstborn” of God–(Jeremiah 31:9);
-Children of Israel are sons of God–(Hosea 1:10);
-Righteous are sons of God–(Romans  8:14; 1 John 3:1-2. As women also are righteous, logically, they are daughters of God);
-Peacemakers (which may include atheists and women) are children of God–(Matthew 5:9);
-Jesus empowered others to become sons of God”–(John 1:12);
-Seems Satan also is son of God–(Job 1:6);
-Sons of God also came and took human daughters for wives/sex: “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives all of which they chose”–(Genesis 6:1-2. The origin of polygamy and its unbridled range).
   Evidently, the above shows that ‘son of God’ is not unique to Jesus nor is “son of God’ a physical relation.  

To recap. It is shown that Jesus is NOT “begotten” Son of God and is a dubious son of God.  So what kind of “Son” of God was Jesus? 

Regarding Mark 1:1 referring to Jesus as “the Son of God”, the Gideons New American Standard Bible, 1985, and Good News Bible; say, respectively, in foot-note: “Many mss. (short for manuscripts) omit, the Son of God,” and “Some manuscripts do not have the Son of God.”
And Luke who had “PERFECT understanding of ALL things from the VERY FIRST” says Jesus is only “CALLED” son of God: He states in Luke 1:3 and 35: “That holy thing (Jesus) which shall be born of thee (Mary) shall be “CALLED” the Son of God”.
Jesus is NOT son of God;  Jesus is only “CALLED” son of God. 

That ‘son of God’ is an only an epithet of honor is further solidified in the following: “the Lord came unto Nathan, saying, Go and tell my servant David….I will be his father, and he shall be my son”–(2 Samuel 7:4-5, 14). 
Jesus was only a metaphorical son of God. And a METAPHORICAL son  CANNOT die for LITERAL sin(s).
   And as “son” of God is needed to die for Adam’s (or original /inherited) sin, and as there is NO son of God THERE IS NO VICARIOUS ATONEMENT! 

As noted above, 2 Samuel 7:4-5, 14 states: “the Lord came unto Nathan, saying, Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?….I will be his father, and he shall be my son”.
   God saying “I will be his father, and he shall be my son, this promise does not refer to Christ, as Christians claim –Christ did not build any “house” for God.  
   This promise refers to Solomon: “And behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spake unto David, my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne  in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name–(1 Kings 5:5).
   “And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God: But the word of the Lord came to me, saying…..Behold, a son shall be born to thee…for his name shall be SOLOMON…He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father”–(1 Chronicles 22:7-10).
   “And he (the Lord) said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father”–(1 Chronicles 28:9).
Moreover, as shown later, the Church is not a house to God: it is a house to Christians.   

That Jesus is “Son of God”, Allāh informs us that the Christian belief of Son of God is an imitation of paganism: “And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allāh; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allāh. These are the words of their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before. Allāh’s curse be on them! How they are turned away!”–(Qur’an 9:30).
Muhammad Ali notes:
“We are here told that the Christian doctrine that Jesus Christ was the son of God was borrowed from earlier pagan people. Recent research has established the fact beyond all doubt. In fact, when St. Paul saw that the Jews would on no account accept Jesus Christ as a messenger of God, he introduced the pagan doctrine of sonship of God into the Christian religion, so that it might become more acceptable to the pagans.”
It is common knowledge that there were legions of Sons of God before Jesus –such as Horus, Osiris, Mithra. And also many “Mother Goddess” before Mary. (More on this later). 

As noted above in Qur’an 9:30 Allāh says Jews say, “Ezra is the son of Allāh.” Critics say the Qur’an is wrong, that Jews did not regard Ezra as “son of God.”
But in their commentaries Muhammad Ali, Yusuf Ali and Malik Ghulam Farid note that there was a sect of Jews who revered Ezra as son of God.
Also, Son of God does not necessarily mean they regard Ezra as a physical son of God, only that they followed him blindly. This is made clear by the next verse of the Qur’an (9:31) which states about Christians: “They take their doctors of law and their monks for lords besides Allāh, and (also) the Messiah, son of Mary….”
   To which Muhammad Ali points out:
“when this verse was revealed, ‘Adi ibn Hatim, a convert from Christianity, asked the Holy Prophet as to the significance of this verse, for, he said, we did not worship our doctors of law and monks. The Holy Prophet’s reply was: Was it not that the people considered lawful what their priests declared to be lawful, though it was forbidden by God. Hatim replied in the affirmative. That, the Prophet said, was what the verse meant (Tirmidhi. 44:9)”. 

As noted above there were many Sons of God of which Mithra was one, and also more than one Mother Goddess. Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din notes in his revealing book the Sources of Christianity (the following material on Mithra and Mother Goddess is also noted in Christianity-is paganism):

About Mithra it is stated:
“Mithraism came from Persia, where it seems to have been flourishing for about six hundred years, the cult reaching Rome about 70 B.C. It spread through the Empire, and extended to Great Britain. Remains of Mithraic monuments have been discovered at York, Chester and other places. Mithra was believed to be a great Mediator between God and man. His birth took place in a cave on December 25th. He was born of a virgin. He traveled far and wide; he had twelve disciples; he died in the service of humanity. He was buried, but rose again from the tomb. His resurrection was celebrated with great rejoicing. His great festivals were the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox –Christmas and Easter. He was called Saviour, and sometimes figured as a Lamb. People were initiated into his cult through baptism. Sacramental feasts were held in his remembrance. These statements may excite surprise in the mind of the reader of to-day; he may be disposed to doubt their genuineness, as while on one side he reads the story of the Jesus of the Church, in the legend of Mithra on the other Mithraism has left no traces in the world, although it was so powerful in the third century A.D. that, had it not been suppressed in Rome and Alexandria by the Christians with physical force, as has been admitted by St. Jerome, it would have left no chance for the flourishing of Christianity; and that it died only when most of its legends became incorporated in the simple faith of Jesus, and the Church lore fully saturated with Mithraic colours, so much so that Tertullian had to admit the fact, though in a way befitting his position. He says that the learned in his days considered Mithraism and Christianity identical in all but name.”  St. Jerome and other Early Fathers became puzzled at the similarity existing between the two faiths, but their ingenuity ascribed it to the machinations of the Devil to mock their faith.” (Emphasis/Color added-NGBA)

And about the Madonna with Child:
“We read nothing of the Madonna and the Child, either in the evangelical record or in the writings of Paul and other apostles. The conception, most assuredly, came from Alexandria to the Western world, where the Mother Goddess with the Child Redeemer Horus had been honoured centuries before the Christian Era, and worshipped under the names of “Our Lady,” “Queen of Heaven,” “Mother Goddess” and so forth –words that were afterwards used in reference to Mary, the Mother Goddess.

Isis was not the only Virgin Mother worshipped in the olden days.  Osiris had also been believed to be born of Neith, the Virgin of the World…The sacred groves of Germany exhibited the image of the Goddess Hertha, a Virgin with a Child in her arms, in the old Teutonic days. She also gave birth to a child that was of Immaculate conception. She was impregnated by the Heavenly Spirit.
Frigga conceived of the All-father, Odin, bore a son, Balder of Scandinavia, called the Healer and Saviour of mankind.”

“The Virgin Mother suckling her Child is a common figure on the Mithraic monuments. So are other legends of these gods being born in a cave, which have been reported from Guatemala, the Antilles and other places in Central America.”

“The sign of the Cross also is not of Christian origin. It does not date from the crucifixion. Clement, in his list of Christian symbols, does not make mention of it. Constantine saw the Cross in his vision, as he says, and took it as a symbol of the faith. But what he saw in the vision he must have seen also in a normal condition with his waking eye, for the Cross was the sign of life in the Pagan symbolism. I saw an ancient Egyptian cross in July when I visited Alexandria, in the Municipal Museum in the town. Curiously enough, the cross in Christendom signifies the same as did the Egyptian cross –the sign of new life brought by the crucifixion. In Ireland a similar cross has been discovered, with a crucified effigy, but it is the effigy of a Persian prince and not that of the Nazarene, as the head of the crucified bears a Parthian coronet, and not the crown of thorns; which identifies it with the Mithraic cult, originally from Persia. It left many other signs in Ireland and Cheshire. (Color added).

“Read the history of the Early Fathers, and you are more and more convinced that while the Church was using sword and fire in destroying every trace and memory of Sun-worship in its original form –as in the burning of the Alexandrian Library and the killing of Hypatia–the great teacher of the Sun-worship cult– it was taking everything and anything of the heathen days into its own teachings and traditions in order to make the new faith popular. Fish was taken as a Christian symbol before the introduction of the Cross….The Gospel cannot explain the why and how of the Fish symbol, excepting that Jesus often ate fish. But the sun-scripture is the real explanation. The sun passes the Zodiacal sign Pisces –the Fish– in February, and if the date of the Epiphany is in February, Christ, as a Sun-God, must be symbolized by the Fish.

The evidence that the Church, as built by the priests of the dark mediaeval days, owes everything to the Pagan world, and not in the sacred name under which it passes, is so overwhelmingly preponderating in nature that one becomes compelled to say with full justification, in the words of the Archbishop of York, that the Church repels. If the laity has realized that in their worship in the Church they are worshipping only the Sun-God, and keeping up the tradition of the Pagan cult, will they not resent it? No wonder the pews have become empty, and the clergy have no chance but to address empty benches.” (The Sources of Christianity. These quotes are also in Christianity-is paganism).

“Today, it is an established verity that Church theology was only an assimilation of Paganism; what an irony of fate that those who called others heathens should have turned out to be heathens themselves in their beliefs!”-(Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din, Open Letters to the Bishops of Salisbury & London, 1926. KK. was responding to misstatements on Islam. Emphasis/color added).

In “The Sources of Christianity” Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din has detailed the pagan sources of Christianity, including Easter, and Jesus’ Passion Play which mimics that of the Babylonian God, Baal, who preceded Jesus by more than a thousand years. This book can be had from www.muslim.org. This Passion Play of Baal and Jesus is noted in Christianity-is paganism.

 9.  WHY DID PAUL DEVISE  ORIGINAL SIN AND VICARIOUS ATONEMENT?
If Christ died for sin in 33 A.D. then all the people who died before Christ –including Abraham, Moses, Enoch, David, Solomon, Zacharias, John the Baptist and their righteous followers– have gone to Hell. (???)
Since everyone inherited sin blanketly from Adam, then Christ’s death should also blanketly free everyone from sin –we did not have to believe in Adam for his sin to be placed on us, why then should we have to believe in Christ to have sin removed from us?  Rather than forgive Adam for his sin, God went on a merry-go-round committing two injustices: (1) God puts Adam’s sin on innocent babies, and (2) God had innocent Jesus killed for Adam’s sin which He put on innocent babies. (As shown in the following, God and Jesus belie the Christians’ claim that man inherit sin from Adam and that Jesus came to die for sin).

Christians claim that Jesus Christ paid the “price” for us. The question to Christians is, who is it that put a charge on us so that Jesus should pay the price?
There is no place in the Bible where God says because Adam fell from Divine grace mankind automatically have fallen from Divine grace; and that God sent Jesus to be killed –to be scapegoat– to free man of Adam’s sin.

Paul postulated that because Adam fell from Divine grace all humans automatically have fallen from Divine and that Jesus was made a sacrifice to redeem man. (As if God is not just or merciful and gracious to forgive).
   But contrary to Paul, “God (is) merciful and gracious…forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin” only punishing the guilty; “a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he”-(Exodus 34:6-7; Deuteronomy 32:4).
   Before getting into Paul’s postulation. A background on Paul is worth noting.

PAUL WAS A SELF-ADMITTED LIAR: He says:  “For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my LIE unto his glory; why yet am I also judged a sinner?”–(Romans 3:7). God does not call on man to believe in Him through lies. God calls man to belief through “reason” and truth. One who propagates Godliness through “guile” and “lie” could not be apostle of Christ, much less messenger of God. 

-PAUL FORGED HIS OWN GOSPEL: “Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to MY GOSPEL”–(2 Timothy 2:8; Galatians 1:6). Note well: Not according to God’s or Jesus’ Gospel! but according to HIS (Paul’s) gospel! 

-PAUL GAVE HIS OWN JUDGMENT: “I have NO commandment of the Lord: yet I give MY judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful”–(1 Corinthians 7:25).  It is not “faithfulness” to forge in the name of God and to have people glorify God through lies.  

 -PAUL SNARED PEOPLE THROUGH GUILE AND CRAFT: “being CRAFTY, I caught you with GUILE–(2 Corinthians 12:16).  

 –PAUL CONDEMNED CIRCUMCISION: “Behold, I Paul, say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love”–(Galatians 5:2-6).
But, God said to Abraham about him and those who observe this covenant of circumcision that he “will be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee…I will be their God”–(Genesis 17:7-8). And God made it clear that those not circumcised have broken this covenant: “And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant”–Genesis 17:14). Who will you believe Paul or God?
In fact, circumcision is so sacred a Divine covenant that even the Christians’ God, Jesus, had himself clipped.

PAUL REJECTED THE LAW OR WORKS: “a man is NOT justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ…for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified”–(Galatians 2:16).
But faith without works will not save any one, the Bible says:
-“Even so faith, if it hath not WORKS, is dead, being alone,” Abraham engaged in faith and WORKS; the harlot, Rahab, was justified by WORKS; “by WORKS a man is justified and, not by faith only” “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without WORKS is dead also”–(James 2:14-26).
  -And our WORKS are recorded as noted in the Book of Revelation 20:12-13.: “And I saw the dead…stand before God; and the books were opened…and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their WORKS;” and “were judged every man according to their WORKS.”   

PAUL MADE HIMSELF INTO A HUMAN CHAMELEON TO SPREAD HIS “LIE”:  “And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as (one) under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without the law, as (one) without the law… that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as (one) weak, that I might gain the weak: I AM MADE ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN, that I might by all means save some”–(1 Corinthians 9:20-22).
  Perhaps it is this un-principle of Paul (to “lie” and deceive) that has lead Christians to expunge the many terms –such as “virgin” of virgin birth; “BEGOTTEN” of “begotten son;” the verses of 1 John 5:7 alluding to trinity; and Mark 16:9-20 the alleged Ascension of Jesus–  from their English Bibles but have retained them in their nearly 1500 non-English Bibles so as to deceive the unschooled natives into drinking the mythical “blood” of Jesus Christ and eating his body–SPIRITUAL CANNIBALISM. (See Ahmed Deedat Is The Bible God’s Word?).

To restate: God and Jesus did not teach original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement. Paul conjectured that because Adam fell from Divine grace all humans automatically have fallen from Divine and that Jesus was made a sacrifice to redeem man. He states:   

   “Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned”–(Romans 5:12. This is the ultimate in collective blaming/punishment).
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus : whom God hath set forth to be a propiation through FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past…”–(Romans 3:23-25. As shown later, there was no “blood” of Christ).
“Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to MY GOSPEL”–(2 Timothy 2:8; Galatians 1:6).  

Jesus belies Paul’s original/inherited sin; he taught we are born sinless:  “Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven;” “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God”–(Matthew 18:3;19:14; Luke 18:16-17. If children inherited sin the kingdom of God would be sinful. A person born with sin is not innocent or pure).
Jesus belies Paul’s vicarious atonement, he says eternal life lies in observing the Ten Commandments (until the arrival of the Comforter who will then guide into “all truth” and will “abide forever”)–(Matthew 19:16-19; John 14:15-16; 16:7, 12-13).
There are two points regarding this Comforter spoken of by Jesus: (1) As the Comforter will give “all truth” the Bible, devoid of “all truth”, the Bible is OBSOLETE and (2) Jesus, not giving “all truth”, Jesus is REDUNDANT; no on needs Jesus (though he is to be honored as Muslims honor him with peace and blessings of Allah). It is the Comforter who is to be followed. (This Comforter, as shown elsewhere, is the Prophet Mohammad).  

God belies Paul’s original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement:  “The father shall NOT die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but EVERY MAN SHALL DIE FOR HIS OWN SIN”–(Deut. 24:16; Ezekiel 18:20; 2 Chronicles 25:4).  

As noted above Paul says: “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a CURSE for us: for it is written (in Deuteronomy 21:23), cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree”–(Galatians 3:13).
   Clearly, one who is a “curse” is a candidate for Hell. It is quite a camel to swallow that God would use one who is “cursed” to die for sinners (to redeem sinners).
God commanded in Deuteronomy 21:22-23 that the “accursed of God” is to be BURIED that day so “that thy land be not defiled.” But given that Christ was NOT buried (placed into the ground) but was entombed-(Matthew 27:59-60) then according to the Bible Christ defiled the land of Palestine. 

Paul’s original/inherited sin invention is also sorely lopsided. The Bible says: “Adam was not deceived but THE WOMAN (EVE) BEING DECEIVED WAS IN THE TRANSGRESSION”–(1 Timothy 2:14; Genesis 3:6). Paul should have had God send His “only begotten” daughter to die for sin.
   That we are born sinful is to say we are criminal by nature –that we are born with two little horns on our foreheads and a barbed tail on our behinds (devils). 

Maurice Bucaille points out in his book The Bible, The Qur’an, And Science, pp. 52-53:
“Paul is the most controversial figure in Christianity. He was considered to be a traitor to Jesus’s thought by the latter’s family and by the apostles who had stayed in Jerusalem in the circle around James. Paul created Christianity at the expense of those whom Jesus had gathered around him to spread his teachings…Paul’s style of Christianity won through definitively, and created its own collection of official texts. These texts constituted the ‘Canon’ which condemned and excluded as unorthodox any other documents that were not suited to the line adopted by the Church.” (The Bible, The Qur’an And Science obtainable  https://www.amazon.com/s?k=The+Bible+the+ Qur%27 an+and+Science &crid=PQK9XED68Y36&sprefix=the+bible +the+qur%27 an+and+science%2Caps%2C78&ref=nb_sb_noss 

Paul did NOT save anyone. Paul did NOT teach the gospel of Christ! From his own mouth/pen Paul forged and taught his OWN gospel!   Jesus Christ is only a figurehead in the Church.
CONCLUSION: Whereas man can forgive his trespassers/debtors and forgive seventy-times seven (literally 490 times)-(Matthew 6:9-12; 18:21-22)- according to Paul and Christians God cannot forgive Adam even once, and cannot even forgive babies for Adam’s sin. Thus, according to Paul and Christians man is more meciful/forgiving than the Christians’ God.

The critics claim that Hajj is paganism is dispensed with on Hajj/pilgrimage,  see also Black Stone at Ka’bah is paganism  

Notably. Whereas Allāh says that Jesus was not killed or crucified, that Jesus only appeared to be dead. One “sheikh” opined that Jesus was dead; that Allāh removed Jesus’ soul from his body which made Jesus appear to be dead.
This Sheikh’s claim is nonsensical even on the face of it:  Jesus cannot be dead and also APPEAR to be dead.  Allāh takes our souls at both death and SLEEP. Jesus was in a sleep/coma; this is how Allāh made Jesus APPEAR to be dead and saved him from crucifixion. (More on this later).

    10. WHY DID THE CHURCH INVENT TRINITY? 
As they delineate between Hell and Heaven, cardinal doctrines of a religion are to be clearly expressed in Divine Scripture; they are not to be left to the function of interpretation.
Unlike the cardinal doctrines of Islam –Unity/Purity of God, Prayer, Zakaat/Charity, Fasting and Hajj– that are clearly expressed in the Qur’an and conducive to reason and observed by Prophet Mohammad.
The cardinal doctrines of Christianity –Trinity, original/ inherited sin and vicarious atonement– are not expressed in the Bible or conducive to reason or observed by Jesus. These doctrines are assumptions.   

Regarding the verse of 1 John 5:7 which states: “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one”. These are NOT the words of Jesus. Significantly, of what do they “bear record”; and where does God say this?  

As noted on the Internet, 1 John 5:7 was conceived hundreds of years AFTER Christ and is now aborted from some Bibles, while some Bible is said to have a  footnote stating that the verse is not found in the earliest manuscripts. You can read about this on Wikipedia.org, article An Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture.
The Gideons New American Standard Bible, 1985, and the Good News Bible do not carry this verse of 1 John 5:7.  

Even if there was Trinity, Jesus would NOT be part of it; as noted Jesus is only “CALLED” son of God –“Son” would have to be an actual son of God, and may even be Satan–(Genesis 6:1-2; Job 1:6; 38:7).  Also, for 9 months and 33 years, at least, Jesus was in his mother’s belly and preaching on earth and lying in a tomb rather than being in heaven “bear(ing) record”. 

As noted above, Jesus was wholly and solely a Jewish tribal prophet. How then did Jesus become one in a Trinity and dying to free the world of Adam’s sin?
Aside from the fact that Hindus, Romans and Africans have Trinity which predate Christian Trinity. The Christian Trinity was invented by the Church 324 years AFTER Christ. Encyclopaedia Britannica explains:  

“Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Sheema of the Old Testament: “Hear. O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord” (Deut. 6:4). The earliest Christians, however, had to cope with the implications of the coming of Jesus Christ and of the presence and power of God among them –i.e. the Holy spirit whose coming was connected with the celebration of the Pentecost. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were associated in such New Testament passages as the Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19. As shown later Matthew 28:19 is a forgery in the Bible-NGBA) and in the apostolic benediction: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (II Corinthians. 13:14. Corinthians is the word of PAUL not word of God or Jesus-NGBA). Thus, the New Testament established the basis for the doctrine of Trinity. (Note: it is the New Testament that “established the basis” for Trinity, not Jesus  or God-NGBA).  

   The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. Initially, both the requirements of monotheism inherited from the Old Testament and the implications of the need to interpret the biblical teaching to Greco-Roman paganism seemed to demand that the divine in Christ as the Word, or Logos, be interpreted as subordinate to the Supreme Being. An alternative solution was to interpret Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three modes of the self-disclosure of the one God but not as distinct within the being of God itself. The first tendency recognized the distinctness among the three, but at the cost of their equality and hence of their unity (subordinationism); the second came to terms with their unity, but at the cost of their distinctness as “persons” (modalism). It was not until the 4th. century that the distinctness of   the three and their unity were brought together in a single orthodox doctrine of one essence and three persons. 

   The Council of Nicaea in 325 stated the crucial formula for that doctrine in its confession that the Son is “of the same essence [homoousios] as the Father,” even though it said very little about the Holy Spirit. Over the next half century, Athanasius defended and refined the Nicene formula, and, by the end of the 4th. Century….the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has  maintained ever since”–(15th Ed; Vol. X, art; Trinity, p. 126. Emphasis/color added). 

Trinity and original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement are diametrically opposed to the teachings of Christ.
  In trying to explain Trinity Christians are trying to explain the non-existent. In trying to Divinize Trinity Christians are trying to legitimize profanity. 

Since Trinity needs a “Son” of God and as there is NO actual “son” of God then ipso facto  THERE IS NO TRINITY! 
As “son” of God is needed to die for Adam’s (or original /inherited) sin, and as there is NO son of God THERE IS NO VICARIOUS ATONEMENT!

(For John 1:1-5 which says: “In the beginning there was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”, this is said to have been taken from Philo who lived and wrote a hundred years before the writer of this Gospel whoever he was (no one knows who John is), this is dealt with next). 

Regarding the Gospel of John, chapter 3 verse 16, as noted above, the word “begotten” (as it implies sexual intercourse between God and Mary) has been, rightly, excised from the RSV Bible. This verse which is the bedrock of the edifice of Christianity is found only in John. The other Gospel writers are quiet as Church mice on this pivotal Christian headstone. Luke, who claims to have “perfect understanding of ALL things from the VERY FIRST” (Luke 1:3) is as dead as a door nail on it.

John 3:16 states:  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
    Christians hail this verse as proof of Jesus coming to die for the sin(s) of the world. (How Christians come to this conclusion is stupefying).
Having a man, and an innocent man, beaten/scourged, fixed to a “cross”, “lanced” and killed/murdered for the sinner is not “love”, it is crass cruelty and gross injustice (which are expected of tyrants and sadists. It is a gruesome sense of “love”).  

John 3:16, when taken in its context from verse one shows Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus about miracles and alluding himself to the brass serpent in Moses’ time which serpent God gave/instilled power to preserve life–(Numbers 21:9). Giving the proper meaning of John 3:16 of: 
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son the power to perform miracles that whosoever believeth in him to be from God through these works of miracles should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
  Miracles were necessary because the people believed only in miracles: “Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe”–(John 4:48).  

To infer that John 3:16 is about crucifixion is to inject a meaning that is alien to the subject. That Jesus is saying God “gave” him to be “crucified” for sinners and for him to pray pitifully in the Garden of Gethsemane to be spared from this glory and to indict God as having “forsaken” him–(Matthew 26:36-44; 27:46), this must be the blackest degree of disgrace and blasphemy exampled by a son of God in Scriptural history. (If Jesus is God, God prayed to and “forsaken” Himself).
Also, Jesus praying to be spared from death also obliterates Christians’ claim that Jesus gave his life willingly.

As noted God gave/instilled power in the brass serpent to preserve life–Numbers 21:9.
-God also gave/instilled power to the pool of Bethesda to cure (John 5:2-4);
-power to the river Jordan which healed Namaan-(2 Kings 5:9-14);
-power to
Elisha’s dead bones which brought a dead man back to life-2 Kings 13:20-21);
-power to
Balaam’s ass to speak to Balaam-(Numbers 22:28, 30). 
Thus, God giving power to Jesus to perform miracles is not unique.
   Whereas Jesus, performed miracles through the power of God–(Luke 11:20; John 8:28, 11:42; Acts 2:22; Qur’an 3:48). Others also performed miracles:

-Moses transformed a stick into a serpent; Moses parted the river–(Exodus 7:10; 14:21)
-Elijah resurrected a child; and divided the river Jordan–(1 Kings 17:17-23; 2 Kings 2:7-8)
-Elisha parted the river Jordan; and resurrected a child–(2 Kings 2:12-14; 2 Kings 4:32-36
-Joshua made the sun and the moon stand still–(Joshua 10:12-13)’
   A prophet performing miracles or making prophecies does not make him God or son of God; nor make him greater than other prophets. Such miracles and prophecies would reflect the greatness of Allāh God, through Whose power the prophet was able to perform the miracles and make the predictions.

As noted in the above quote from Britannica, Trinity is based on Jesus telling his followers to preach in the “name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”–(Matthew 28:19) but this verse as well as Mark 16:9-20, have been shown to be “forgeries” in the Bible.
About a hundred years ago Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din exposed it in his Open Letters To The Bishops of Salisbury & London, (pp. 31-32):
“The concluding eleven verses of St. Mark-(16:9-20) and the well-known verse of St. Matthew-(28:19), speaking of the Son and the Father and the Holy Ghost, are forgeries, an admitted addition to the ancient MSS (manuscripts). The fact was discovered by the first translator of the Bible into English and they made a marginal note in their version of the Bible which continued for some time. But we do not find the said note in any of the copies now published by the said society (Foreign Mission Society). Is it fair and honest to keep others in darkness as to the true value of the contents of the Bible? The reader must know that concluding portion of St. Mark and the verse in St. Matthew are spurious and a subsequent addition.” (Emphasis/color added).

That Matthew 28:19 is a forgery is shown even on the face of it. Jesus’ mission was only to Jews and to the extent that he regards non-Jews “dogs” and “swine” not worthy of the Israelite “bread” and “pearl” and he even preached in parables to keep these “dogs” and “swine” ignorant and out of heaven.
The claim that after the make-believe resurrection Jesus changed his mind and said to preach the gospel to all nations.  This claim is far-fetched.
For Jesus to declare that God sent him only to Jews, that he prayed only for Jews and that heaven lies in observance of the Mosaic Law until the arrival of the Comforter who will then guide into “all truth,” and then for Jesus to turn around and say to preach to all nations the doctrines of Trinity and original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement, this is not only a contradiction but an indictment that Jesus was not only grossly ignorant of his mission but that Jesus taught un-Godly doctrines (Trinity and original/ inherited sin and vicarious atonement).  

Even if Matthew 28:19 was not a forgery then Jesus’ teaching to “all nations” is that eternal life lies in following the Mosaic Law until the arrival of the Comforter who will then guide into “all truth” and will “abide for ever.”  

About Mark 16:9-20 which states that Jesus says to preach the Gospel to the world. The Gideon’s, American New Standard Bible (1985) states in footnote: “Some of the oldest mss. omit from verse 9-20…” (mss. stands for manuscripts).
And the Good News Bible (1976) footnoted to chapter 16: “Some manuscripts and ancient translations do not have this ending to the Gospel (verses 9-20).  

Revealingly. In the verses of Mark 16:19-20 Jesus tells his followers: “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.…They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them”–(Mark 16:16-18).
   Even if these verses were not “forgeries” it is doubtful sensible Christians (“baptized” or not) would take up (un-milked) venomous snakes or drink a lethal dose of deadly poison to substantiate this assurance of their God/son of God, Jesus.
If taking up serpents and drinking deadly thing is metaphorical, as one Christian apologist tried to whitewash, then those “that believeth and is baptized” must also be metaphorical. What is a metaphorical “deadly thing” that one drinks?  

To restate:
As noted Matthew 28:19 and Mark 16:9-20 are “forgeries”.  And that Mark 1:1 referring to Jesus as “the Son of God”, the Gideons New American Standard Bible, 1985, and Good News Bibles say, respectively, in footnote: “Many mss. omit, the Son of God,” and Some manuscripts do not have the Son of God”.
Isn’t it telling a lie on God that He revealed/inspired the forged words? Isn’t it telling a lie on Jesus that he uttered the forged words? What manner of devotee(s) would make forgeries in his Book of God?

Instead of footnotes, dignity and maturity dictate that these misleading materials be removed from the Bible.
Perhaps Christian authorities are loathed to remove these alien materials because this would mean recalling the hundreds of thousands of Christian missionaries around the world who are trying to lure unschooled natives into worshipping Jesus Christ as God/Son of God and vicarious atoner. The Christian Foreign Mission is a contradiction of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Will Christians take the Divine route and remove these additions from the Bible and let the world know the true nature and mission of Jesus Christ?

WHAT KIND OF “WORD” IS JESUS?
The Gospel of John 1:1-5 states: “In the beginning there was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (There is NO mention of the third party of the Trinity, the “Holy Ghost”).
That the Word was “with God” and the Word “was God” is the same as saying God was with God.  This is senseless. The word could not be with God and yet be God.

(No wonder some Christians view Trinity as a “senseless God-dishonoring doctrine” that “could have originated only in one mind, and that the mind of Satan the Devil.”

Christians claim that “Word” in this statement of John 1:1-5 is Jesus. Apart from the fact that these are NOT the words of Jesus, NO ONE KNOWS WHO WROTE THE GOSPEL OF JOHN:
“The Gospel of John is anonymous. Traditionally, Christians have identified the author as “the Disciple whom Jesus loved” mentioned in John 21:24,[15] who is understood to be John son of Zebedee, one of Jesus’ Twelve Apostles. These identifications, however, are rejected by many modern biblical scholars.[1][16][Notes 5] Nevertheless, the author of the fourth Gospel is sometimes called John the Evangelist, often out of convenience since the definitive name of the author is still debated.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_John
Such is Christianity: Christians build their belief on anonymity of authorship and “forgeries” and crown it with Divine authority. And they feed these human-baked bits as Divine delicacy to an uneducated world.

Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din notes:
“The term word, used in St. John, which stands for the Greek word Logos, is an in-adequate rendering. In all his writings Philo speaks of Logos,–a philosophic conception of later growth and a development of the “Idea of Plato,” in his theory of Emanation. It does not mean Word; it conveys “Thought as well as expression.” Plato, when dealing with the subject, spoke of something –as the first thing in creation that may be styled “Reason or Wisdom”– the first product of Herbert Spencer’s “First Intelligent Cause.”
Notably, Philo “lived and wrote all this one hundred years before the writers, whosoever they may be, of that Gospel.” (The Sources of Christianity, pp. 76-77).

Allāh God tells us in his Qur’an: “When the angels said: O Mary, surely Allah gives thee good news with A WORD from Him (of one) whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, worthy of regard in this world and the Hereafter, and of those who are drawn nigh (to Allah)”–(Qur’an 3:45).
As emphasized Jesus is “a” word, NOT “the” word, from Allāh.  Jesus as “word” means “promise,” as Allāh promised Mary a son–(Qur’an 3:45; Luke 1:26-32).
That Jesus is “word” of God is not unique to Jesus. There are others also who are “word” of God:

  • ISHMAEL is “word” of God to Abraham. The childless Abraham wanted Eliezer to be his heir but God tells him:
    “And, behold, the WORD of the Lord came unto him (Abraham), saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of tine own bowels shall be thine heir”–(Genesis 15:1-4.  And Ishmael was the one who first came out of Abraham’s “bowels.” God also sent angel to Ishmael’s mother, Hagar:
     “And the angel of the Lord said unto her (Hagar), Behold, thou art with child, and SHALT BEAR A SON, AND SHALT CALL HIS NAME ISHMAEL”-(
    Genesis 16:7-12). T
    hus, contrary to Jewish and Christian’s claim that Ishmael was of illegitimate birth, Ishmael was born through Divine decree. Comp. Qur’an 37:100-111).
  • ISAAC is “word” of God. After Ishmael was born God promised to give Abraham a son of his barren wife, Sarah:
    “And God said unto Abraham, as for Sarai (Sarah) thy wife…I will bless her, and give thee a son ALSO of her”–(Gen. 17:15-16. This “ALSO” shows that Ishmael was the heir in lieu of Eliezer. Compare Qur’an 37:112-113).
  • JOHN THE BAPTIST is “word” of God. In answer to Zacharias’ prayer for an heir, an angel appeared to him in the temple:
    “Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John”–(Luke 1:11-13. Comp. Qur’an 3:38-39; 19:1-9).
  • The COMFORTER foretold by Jesus is a “word” of God–(John14:16; 16:13; Qur’an 61:6).
  • The PROPHET “like unto me” foretold by Moses is a “word” of God–(Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19).
  • The SHILOH foretold by Jacob is a “word” of God–(Genesis 49: 10).
  •  The PROPHET MOHAMMAD foretold by all the prophets of the world since the world began is a “word” of God–(Acts 3:21-22;  Qur’an 3:81; 26:192-197). 

In fact, whereas God sent angel with word to Mary, God actually visited Hannah and gave her children; the Bible says that after Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife so they would have children: “And the Lord VISITED Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters”–(1 Samuel 2:20-21).
Whatever form this “visit” took, whether God actually went or just made them fruitful, there was no intermediary –no angels– between God and Hannah as there was in the case of Mary and Jesus.

Thus, contrary to Christian’s belief that Jesus being “word” places him above others, it may be advanced that the births of Hannah’s children were of a higher honor than Jesus’.

“Word” is not exclusive to Jesus/humans.
The words of Allāh are so numerous that if all the trees were pens, and the sea with seven more seas added to it were ink, to write the words of Allāh, they would all be exhausted before the words of Allah would be exhausted

  • “Say: If the sea were ink for the WORDS of my Lord, the sea would surely be exhausted before the  WORDS  of my Lord were exhausted, though We brought the like of it to add (thereto);” “And if all the trees in the earth were pens, and the sea with seven more seas added to it (were ink), the WORDS of Allāh would not be exhausted. Surely Allāh is Mighty, Wise”–(Qur’an 18:109; 31:27).
  • “And there is none to change the WORDS of Allāh”–(Qur’an 6:34).
  • “There is no changing the WORDS of Allāh”–(Qur’an 10:64).
  • “And Mary, the daughter of Amran, who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into him of Our inspiration, and she accepted the truth of the WORDS of her Lord and His Books, and she was of the obedient ones”–(Qur’an 66:12).

Thus everything created must be a “word” of Allāh; the Bible also teaches this where God decreed creation by saying “Let there be…”–(Gen. 1:3-25).

Jesus made it clear he is not God: “Why callest thou me good? there is NONE good but one, that is GOD”–(Matthew19:17; Mark 10:18). Jesus not only denies he is God, he denies he is good.
If Jesus is God:

  • God is sitting on his right hand–(Mark 16:19).
  • God ascended to himself–(John 20:17).
  • God led himself to be tempted by the devil–(Matthew 4:1).
  • God sent himself to Jews–(John 6:38; 17:3).
  • God would have known the day and hour of future events–(Mark 13:32).
  • God is made into a “curse”–(Galatians 3:13; Deuteronomy 21:23).
  • God prayed to himself; “forsaken,” thanked, heard and worshipped himself–(Matthew 26:39; 27: 46; Luke 10:21; John 11:41; 4:22. Whereas Jesus prayed to and worshipped God, Christians pray to and worship Jesus.
    If Jesus is son of God because he is termed “word” of God, as one Christian asserts, then even a baboon is “son of God.”  

To restate. The Gospel of John 1:1-5 states: “In the beginning there was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (There is NO mention of the third party of the Trinity, the “Holy Ghost”). Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din notes in his revealing book The Sources of Christianity:

“…..The term word, used in St. John, which stands for the Greek word Logos, is an inadequate rendering. In all his writings Philo speaks of Logos,–a philosophic conception of later growth and a development of the “Idea of Plato,” in his theory of Emanation. It does not mean Word; it conveys “Thought as well as expression.” Plato, when dealing with the subject, spoke of something –as the first thing in creation that may be styled “Reason or Wisdom”– the first product of Herbert Spencer’s “First Intelligent Cause.” (Notably, the Jewish philosopher, Philo, “lived and wrote all this one hundred years before the writers, whosoever they may be, of that Gospel). 

“In the beginning there was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was Life; and the Life was the Light of men. And the Light shineth in the Darkness; and the Darkness comprehendeth it not”–John 1:1-5).
There is not a single idea or expression these verses that cannot be traced directly to Philo.” (p.75-77).  

 “St. Paul also introduced new Philosophy and logic into Christian theology, and expressed them in new phraseology –which till today graces all Church orations. Religious sermons are besprinkled with phrases like the following which Paul and a few others were the first to use in Christian literature;  

“God’s First-Begotten Son, the Intermediary between God and man”;  

“The Intercessor with the Father”;  

“The Good Shepherd”; 

 “The Image of God”;  

“The Foundation of the Universe”;  

“The Bread of Life”;  

 “The Sinless”;  

“The Price of Sin”;  

“The Gift of God to man to ransom his sins”;  

“The High Priest”;  

“The Second God”;  

“The Interpreter of God to man”;  

“The Giver of the Water of Everlasting Life”;  

“Seated next to God”;  

“The Physician and healer of Souls”;   

“No one worthy of God but he who follows the Son”;  

 “The human heart the only shrine of God”;  

“God of Triune nature and the Son to take the second place in the Holy Trinity”;  

“Actions without faith of no value.” 

Everything sounds new, charming and graceful too; something certainly not known to the other disciples –nay, not even taught by the Master; and it was left, therefore, for the Holy Ghost to “fill” someone and for that someone to reveal it to the world; and why, therefore, should not St. Paul be accepted as having been filled with the Spirit, when sprinkling such gems of philosophy and theology on those who believe, with a force that could exert, for the coming two thousand years, more influence on his following than the Lord of Christianity himself? St. Paul undoubtedly could have been taken as the founder of this theology, speaking as if filled with the Holy Ghost, by the rest of the world too, as he is accepted by the majority of the Christian Church, had his inspiration not been traced to the following passages that exist in the writings of Philo:  

  • “His Word which is his Interpreter;”
  • “To his Word he gave this especial gift that He should stand as an Intercessor between the Creator and the created;”
  • “We maintain that by the High Priest is meant the Word Who is free from all transgression, being of heavenly parentage”;
  • “The Word of God is the Physician and Healer of all our evils”;
  • “The heavenly food….is the Divine Word”;
  • “The Image of God is His Eternal Word”;
  • “The High Priest is His Divine Word hence His head is anointed”;
  • “The Shepherd of His holy flocks”;
  • “What man is, there of true judgment who, when he sees the deeds of most men, is not ready to call out aloud to God, the Great Saviour, that He would be pleased to take off this load of sin, and, by appointing a price and ransom for the soul, restore it to its original liberty?”;
  • “He, therefore, exhorts every person who is able to exert himself in the race which he is to run, to bend his course without remission to the Divine Word above, who is the Fountain Head of all wisdom, that by drinking of this sacred spring, he, instead of death, may receive the reward of everlasting life”;
  • “Being the Image of God and the First-Born of all intelligent creatures, He is seated immediately next to the One God without any interval of separation”;
  • “Even if  no one is as yet worthy to be called a Son of God, one shall nevertheless labour earnestly to be adorned like unto His First-Born Son, The Word”;
  • “God, by  the same Word by whom He made all things, will raise the good man from the things of this world and exalt him near unto Himself”;
  • “God, escorted on each side by personages from on high, whose attributes were goodness and power, the Divinity in the middle being in union with the other two, impressed a threefold appearance upon the soul of Abraham who beheld them.”

Are we not accustomed to hear these, word by word, from the pulpit of the Christian churches? Do not these quotations from Philo sound like the writing of Paul? Thus we trace the source of Pauline inspiration. It is the human brain, and not the Spirit of the Lord. St. Paul is not filled with the Spirit, in the fulfillment of the prophecy (St. John 16:13), to say “all truth” in all that he has ingrafted on the virgin soil of Christianity and thus affected the whole Church teaching after him. In his philosophy he is the disciple of Philo and Plato, and not of Jesus; and if these two great men had nothing to do with the Master, one belonging to Judaism and the other to a pagan cult, St Paul deserves no claim on the allegiance of those who wish and ought to be in the footsteps of Jesus.  

…What an irony of fate that he who declared “Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or title shall in nowise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled,” should be followed –nay, superseded– by him who declared the Law a curse and not a blessing from God, and that only to win favor with those with whom the Master would have nothing to do –the Greeks and the Romans. But the reason is not far to seek. St. Paul could not claim any respect from his own people. At first an implacable enemy of Jesus and persecutor of his followers, then a renegade from Judaism and therefore hated by the Jews –so much so that his very presence in the synagogue, where he came to explain his schism to Judaism at the request of the other apostles, excited such contempt and hatred of the people as to drive him, an exile from his home. He could not, moreover, work with the other apostles, who would take him to task for ignoring the Law. He, therefore, had sufficient reason to make the gentile lands the field of his future work. He must work somewhere, and that was his last resort. The Gentiles were not the people of the Law. Actions in observance of the Law could not carry any weight with them; Law was a burden and a gate to sin if not observed, and hence a curse. `  

Thus begins the philosophy of his epistles to the Gentiles; they were a sinful tribe, like others. They were visited by calamities, as others were. They ascribed it to their mis-deeds. But sacrifice only, and not repentance and reclamation, could please the angered Deity, in their belief. Sin and sacrifice was the basic principle of their creed
.…No action, but bare belief in the story, was sufficient for salvation.” (pp. 78-82). 

 “Jesus was the last of the series, brought on the pagan altar to popularize Christianity amongst the pagan world. The period of God-Incarnate is over. Christianity has proved the last chapter in the history of the Mystery cult. But a very poor one. The former cults had the beauty of originality in conception, the nicety of the flight of imagination. But the Church aped the old cult most slavishly and boorishly. She went so far as to steal word by word the whole pagan terminology. Almost all the names given to Jesus in the Church theology have been taken from the same source(some of these names are noted above in The Sources of Christianity: “God’s First Begotten Son, the Intermediary between God and man;” “The Good Shepherd”).  

The Alpha and Omega of Bacchus was put into the mouth of Jesus to suit the theory of Logos –another piece of literary larceny from Philo and others of the Alexandrian philosophy. The Qur’an exposed it at a time when no other suspected it. It said: “The Christian says the Messiah is the son of God; these are the words of their mouth; they imitate the sayings of those who were pagan before; Allah destroyed them, now they are turned away” (Qur’an 9:30). Yes, God destroyed paganism through His Messengers, of whom Jesus was one, but it lived again through his followers; and lo! those who gave the name “heathens” to others became the same themselves.” (Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din, Open Letters To The Bishops Of Salisbury & London, pp. 25-26).

“To-day it is an establish verity that Church theology was only an assimilation of Paganism: what an irony of fate that those who called others heathens should have turned out to be heathens themselves in their beliefs!  But the Qur’an was the first to point it out to the world when it said “….And the Christians say : The Messsiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths. they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; Allah destroyed them; how they are turned away-Qur’an 9:30.
…To-day, the Christian world has begun to realize that Jesus was only a man and one of the Chosen Ones of God who, from time to time have exhibited the Divine influence in the mould of their character; and the Qur’an said the same some thirteen hundred years (now 1400 years) ago: “The Messiah, son of Mary, is but an apostle; apostles before him have passed away-(Qur’an 5:75).”
(It is hardly any surprise then that): 

 “The last Conference of Modernism (August, 1925) has dealt its final blow to the Church dogmas in rejecting the theory of “sin in nature,” inasmuch as the doctrine of “sin by heritage” is the very bed-rock of the Church faith, and if it is rejected, its sequel–the Doctrine of Atonement, the Grace of the Blood, the Divinity of Jesus –must, ipso facto, go too. And in this respect….here again Islam was the first to deny the Christian doctrine, when it said that every child, when born, comes into the world with a pure and untainted nature.
They must be on a fool’s errand who seek to induce us to accept things rejected by their best men, and to reject those doctrines now accepted by their intellectually advanced people.
This all reminds me of Canon Gairdner’s remark:  “Islam is the only one (religion) that definitely claimed to correct, complete and supersede Christianity.”” (This is not only a “claim,” it is proven fact!)  (Ibid; pp. 15-16. Color added).

JESUS-NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME:
Jesus says, “no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”–(John 14:6). But how does one “cometh” to Jesus in order to get to the Father?
Jesus unequivocally taught he was sent only to Jews:

-“I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel”–(Matt. 15:24).
-“I pray for them (Jews): I pray not for the world”–(John 17:9).
-“For the Son of man is come to seek and save that (Jews) which was lost”–(Luke 19:10).
-go not to the Gentiles and the Samaritans, but “to the lost sheep of the house of Israel”–(Matthew 10:5-6).
  These crystal declarations by Jesus prove that Jesus’ mission was wholly and solely to the Israelite/Jews. Jesus continues:

-“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine”–(Matt. 7:6; 15:26);
-he told the Samaritan woman: “Ye worship ye know not what: we (Jews) know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews”–(John 4:22);
-after relating the parable of the sower to the people Jesus said to them: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear;” and, afterwards, when he (Jesus) was alone with the Israelites they asked him about the meaning of the parable: “And he said unto them, Unto you (who have God) it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them (non-Jews) that are without (God), all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them”–(Mark 4:9-12).
In other words though the non-Jews (who may be sincere seekers of God) have the faculties of sight and hearing and can see and hear, he (Jesus) spoke in parables so that they would not understand his words because he did not want them to accept God and have their sins forgiven).

And what was Jesus’ teaching to the Israelite/Jews that would take them to the Father/God? Jesus taught that the way one “cometh” to the Father/God is by following the Mosaic Law”:
   -“one came and said unto him (Jesus), Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he (Jesus) said unto him…if thou wilt enter into life keep the commandments…Thou shalt do no murder…. not commit adultery…not steal….not bear false witness ….”–(Matthew 19:16-19).
-“Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: ALL therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do”–(Matthew 23:2-3). And the Scribes and Pharisees taught the Mosaic Law/Ten Commandments the Father/God gave to Moses.
Clearly, there is no such doctrine as Trinity and original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement, from Jesus as the way one “cometh” to him or to the Father/God.
   The way one “cometh unto the Father, but by” Jesus is by following the Divine-revealed Mosaic Law.

However, Jesus knew the Ten Commandments were the way to eternal life/God only for the duration of his prophethood, until the coming of a new prophet. So he gave his followers the Eleventh Commandment which would replace/supersede the Mosaic Law and would be the only way one “cometh” to eternal life/God to Judgment Day. Jesus informed his followers:

   -“If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you forever;” “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak : and he will shew things to come”–(John 14:15-16; 16:13).
   Evidently, it is this Comforter who will guide into “all truth” and will “abide for ever” who is the only way one can “cometh” to Jesus and to the Father/God.

If Jesus was “the only truth, life, and way” to God there would be no need for another Comforter to guide into “all truth” and “abide for ever.”
   Jesus’ declaration also shows that, as the Comforter will give “all truth” the Bible, being devoid of “all truth”, the Bible is obsolete. And Jesus, not giving “all truth”, Jesus is redundant. 

That Jesus says to preach the Gospels to all nations. What is the Gospel? The Gospel is NOT Trinity, original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement. The teaching of the Gospel is that Jesus was messenger to the Israelite and that eternal life lies in observing the Mosaic Law until the coming of the Comforter who will then guide into “all truth” and will “abide for ever”. This is the teaching of the Gospel that the Church/Christians are to teach to the world.

SUMMARY: It is strange for Jesus to say “no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” considering that he said  eternal life lies in observing the Ten Commandments and to do the biddings of the Scribes and Pharisees; and then for them to follow the Comforter will guide “into all truth” and will “abide for ever.”
   Clearly, “no man cometh unto the Father, but by” the Mosaic Law until the arrival of the Comforter, at which time “no man cometh unto the Father, but by” the Comforter.~~~

GOD SAYS LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE -WAS GOD CALLING ON JESUS OR ON MOHAMMAD FOR HELP?
In the Book of Genesis chapter one verse 26, God says “Let US make man in OUR image, in our likeness.”
Who was God calling on to “make man” –was God calling on the Angels? On Satan, before his fall from Divine grace? On Solomon? On Jesus? Or on Mohammad?

Christians suffer the hallucination that God was calling on Jesus to help Him “make man.”
It is amusing that after creating Angels, His sons in heaven–(Genesis 6:1-2), galaxies and earth, vegetation and creatures of the air, land and sea, God needed help to make man.
   As shown in item #4, Mohammad’s was the first soul God created, if God was calling on any one to help Him, He would have been calling on this first soul He created–MOHAMMAD.

Does God referring to Himself as US and OUR mean that Godhead consists of more than one being? And was God calling on anyone for help?
In His Qur’an Allah God refers to Himself as “We” “He” “Me” “I” and “My”–(Qur’an 2:38, 150-151; 31:10-11; 68:44-45; 70:40).

–Qur’an 2:38 states: “We said: “Get ye down all from here; and if as is sure there comes to you guidance from Me” whosoever follows My guidance on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve.”
   Yusuf Ali comments: “Note the transition from the plural “We” at the beginning 0f the verse (v.38) to the singular “Me” later in the same verse. God speaks of Himself usually in the first person plural “We”: it is the plural of respect and honor and is used in human language in Royal proclamations and decrees. But where a special personal relationship is expressed the singular “I” or “Me” is used.”
–Qur’an 68:44-45 states: “Then leave Me alone with such as reject this message: by degrees shall We punish them from directions they perceive not. A (long) respite will I grant them: truly powerful is My plan.”
   Yusuf Ali comments: “Notice the transition between “Me” and “We” in this verse (v.44), and again to “I” and “My” in the next verse (v.45). The first person plural ordinarily used in the holy Qur’an as God’s Word, is the plural of respect. In Royal decrees the first person plural is similarly used. When the first person singular is used, it marks some special personal relation, either of mercy or favors (as in 2:38 or 2:150) or of punishment, as here.”
  Thus, from the Qur’anic perspective, Allah God referring to Himself as “We” does not mean that Godhead consists of more than one figure (as the Christian Trinity –Father, Son and Holy Ghost– or as the  Hindu Triune Godhead –Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva).     

The Bible also shows that God speaks in the “plural of respect and honor.” One source notes:

“In the Bible, we find four verses in which God refers to Himself using plural pronouns. The most well-known passage is Genesis 1:26: “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness.’” See also Genesis 3:22Genesis 11:7; and Isaiah 6:8. The One God is speaking of Himself in plural form: us and our. This is a perfect example of the majestic plural. God’s divine greatness and transcendence are emphasized through the simple use of pronouns.
The majestic plural is also found in one of God’s most common names in the Old Testament, Elohim. The word itself is plural (the singular is Eloah), and it is sometimes translated as “gods” (when referring to a plurality of false gods). When it refers to the One True God, Elohim (plural) is correctly translated as “God” (singular).

Deuteronomy 4:35 says, “The LORD is God”—literally, “Yahweh is Elohim.” And the famous Shema says, “The LORD our God, the LORD is one.” Again, we have the singular Lord coupled with the plural Elohim, and this time in a verse that is crystal clear that there is only one God. His name’s plural form indicates His sovereign supremacy, His matchless might, and His exceeding eminence.
We carefully note that the majestic plural in the Old Testament was not meant to teach the doctrine of the Trinity. It is simply a linguistic tool that God employed to accentuate His greatness. However, the use of plural constructions to refer to God leaves open the possibility of God’s triune nature. Later, when the doctrine of the Trinity is revealed in the New Testament, the use of the majestic plural fits right in.” (Trinity does NOT “fits right in” anywhere; dealt with shortly-NGBA) (https://www.got questions.org/majestic-plural.html).

Examples in the Bible of God referring to Himself in various capacities:
–Genesis 11:7: “let US go down, and there confound their language”
–Isaiah 6:8-11: “I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for US?”
–Exodus 6:2-3: “And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:  And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob…”
–Exodus 20:2-5: I am the Lord thy God….for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God…”
–Deuteronomy 18:18-19:I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put MY words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto MY words which he shall speak in MY name, I will require it of him.
–Psalm 89:27-29: “Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. MY mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and MY covenant shall stand fast with him.”
–Isaiah 43:11:Ieven Iam the LORD; and beside ME there is no saviour.”

Evidently, God was not calling on anyone to help Him make man, nor does God need the help of anyone to make man. God’s references to Himself as “US” and “OUR” are simply statements of Majesty, Power and Dominion.
Christians are notorious for taking statements of the Old Testament and wrapping them around Jesus as prophecies about Jesus –Jesus -foretold.                                                                 ***

As noted in the quote above, the writer states: “the use of plural constructions to refer to God leaves open the possibility of God’s triune nature. Later, when the doctrine of the Trinity is revealed in the New Testament, the use of the majestic plural fits right in.”
   But as we have shown, Trinity has been dispensed with (see item #10); in fact Jesus is not even son of God (see items #8).

Another nail in the coffin of this human-invented blasphemy against God, Trinity, is gleaned from the beginning of the Bible itself. Genesis 1:27 declares: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and FEMALE created he them.”
Thus if woman is also the image of God then God is also a female. This would make the Christian Godhead to consist of God the Man (Father), God the Woman (Mother) God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Ghost. Making the Christian Godhead a Quinity/Quintity.
Again:
Christians also claim that Jesus is the Son of man. Thus, the Christians Godhead is NOT a Trinity and NOT a  Quinity/Quintity but a Penity/Pentity –God the Man (Father), God the Woman (Mother) God the Son (Jesus) God the Holy Ghost and God the Son of man.

Rather than accept the Divine Truth –as Jesus eloquently and lucidly declared– that Jesus was only a messenger sent only to the Israelite, that he prayed only for them, regarded non-Jews as “dogs” and “swine” and preached in parables to keep the non-Jews out of heaven; and he taught that eternal life lies in observance of the Mosaic Law until the coming of the Comforter who will then guide them into “all truth” and will “abide for ever”.
Christians toss these clear teachings of Jesus onto the dung heap and for two thousand years Christians are suffering tremendous labor pains trying to give birth to the phantom three-headed Church-baked womb-God Trinity/Jesus Christ; and are hammering up all manner of inane contraptions to prop it/him up.

Sadly, there are Muslims who have turned their backs to Allah –the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent and All-Forgiving God Who forgives ALL sins unconditionally– and are aping Christians, kissing the useless and unGodly crucifix and drinking the mythical blood of Jesus Christ and eating his body–SPIRITUAL CANNIBALISM!

Muslims (and Christians who want that “mansion” which Jesus was not certain if he was going to prepare for you and return) have the grand opportunity while you are alive to return (turn) to Allah.  When you die –and no one knows when he/she will die– this grand opportunity evaporates like dewdrop in Hell. With you as fuel!


                                                  *

  11. DID JESUS PROPHESY HIS DEATH AND HIS RESURRECTION?
Jesus is noted as saying: “The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be SLAIN, and be RAISED the third day”-(Luke 9:22). 
   Jesus knew he would “be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes” because he was always lambasting them as “hypocrites” and “adulterous generations” who are destined to Hell that he began to hide from Jews:  
“Why go ye about to kill me?”-(John 7:19);
“Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him (Jesus) to death. Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews”-(John 11:53-54).

Evidently, while Jesus knew he would be persecuted for his speaking out against the Jewish Elders, Jesus asking his would-be fulfillers of prophecy “Why go ye about to kill me?” and hiding from them and even praying to great sweating in the Garden of gethsemane to be spared this high honor of glory, this is not the action of a man who claimed to fulfill prophecy of being killed and raised on the third day. (Christians admit Jews wanted to kill Jesus because of Jesus’ opposition to Jewish hierarchy. Shown later).

The Bible says “the dead know NOT anything” and “there is NO work, NOR device, NOR KNOWLEDGE, NOR WISDOM, in the grave, WHITHER THOU GOEST”–(Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10).
  If Father, Son and Holy Ghost/Spirit are one as Christians say, then in being killed/crucified the universe is without a God. The dead that “know not anything” even if he be God cannot resurrect himself. As Job 7:9 says, rightly, “he that goeth down to the grave shall come up NO MORE”.

Jesus/God dying and raising is reminiscent of Tammuz–(Ezekiel 8:14). As explained by Christian source, Tammuz was:
“the Babylonian and Assyrian god of vegetation whose supposed annual death and resurrection symbolized the winter and spring cycle (Ezek. 8:14) : he allegedly died and retired to the underworld as the vegetation dried up in the fall; he was revived and brought back to life in the spring….Tammuz has been identified with Osiris of Egypt, Adonis in Syria and Phoenicia, and Attis in Greece”–(Self-Pronouncing Bible, section, “Bible Dictionary”, explaining “Tammuz”, p.86).   

   (1) John 1:29 says about Jesus: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh  away the sin of the world.”  Aside from the fact these are not the words of Jesus.  Jesus, as all prophets, takes away the sin of people by calling them to repentance, as Jesus himself taught.

 -“I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to REPENTANCE” (not to vicarious atonement)–(Matthew 9:13).
-“I tell you…except ye REPENT, ye shall all likewise perish”–(Luke 13:3, 5).
-“I say unto you, there is JOY in the presence of the angels of God over ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH”–(Luke 15:10).
-“The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation (of Jews) and shall condemn it: because they REPENTED at the preaching of JONAS-(Matthew 12:41).
Jesus did not come to die for anyone Jesus came to call  “sinners to REPENTANCE.”

    (2) Jesus says a resurrected person “neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven” (meaning the resurrected are no longer flesh and blood, they are “spiritualized” as the angels in heaven)–(Matthew 22:30). And in Luke 9:22 Jesus says he will “be slain, and will be raised the third day”–(Luke 9:22).
But after the alleged crucifixion and resurrection Jesus tells his followers who were “terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a SPIRIT” for them to examine him that “it is I myself: handle me, and see: for A SPIRIT HATH NOT FLESH AND BONES, AS YE SEE ME HAVE”–(Luke 24:36-43).
   Jesus is clearly proving to them that he is human not a spirit, that HE WAS NOT SLAIN/KILLED/RISEN FROM THE DEAD.

If Jesus was slain and resurrected, then from his own mouth Jesus would be spiritualized/spirit as the angels as he said in Matthew 22:30; he would not be flesh and blood as he was in Luke 24:36-43.
Either Jesus was mistaken he would be slain or he was a false prophet. Whereas Jesus expected he would be slain God saved him from death. (See next chapter).

   (3) Jesus said his sign would be like Jonas. Jonas was alive in the fish’s/whale’s belly “three days and three nights”–(Matthew 12:39-40; Jonah 1:17; 2:1-10).
As Jonas was locked away in the body of the fish, Jonas was “dead” to the world; and as Jesus was unconscious and locked away in a tomb, Jesus was “dead” to the world. This was Jesus’ sign to Jonas’.
If Jesus came to die for sins there was no need for his sign to be like Jonas. If Jesus died his sign would not be like Jonas, and he would be a fraud/false prophet.
Even if Jesus had come to die for sins, it would have been only for the sins of Jews, as he was sent only to Jews. (See next topic).

        12. IS THE “CRUCIFIXION” HISTORICAL FACT?
Allah revealed:
“And (the Jews) planned and Allāh (also) planned. And Allāh is the best of planners. When Allah said: O Jesus, I will cause thee to die and exalt thee in My presence and clear thee of those who disbelieve and make those who follow thee above those who disbelieve to the day of Resurrection.  Then to Me is your return, so I shall decide between you concerning that wherein you differ”-(Qur’an 3:54-55. Jews planned to kill Jesus and Allāh countered their plan and save Jesus).

Allāh revealed:
“And for their saying: We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allāh and they killed him not, nor did they cause his death on the cross, but he was made to appear to them as such. And certainly those who differ therein are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge about it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for certain: Nay, Allāh exalted him in His presence. And Allāh is ever Mighty, Wise”–(Qur’an 4:157-158.
Jews say they killed Jesus, Christians say Jesus was crucified. Allāh negates both views as conjectures).

Allāh exalting (or raising) Jesus to Himself does not mean Allāh literally raised Jesus up to Himself; only that Allāh took Jesus’ soul to make him appear to be dead. Allāh takes our souls at sleep and at death:  “Allah takes (men’s) souls at the time of their death, and those that die not, during their sleep. Then He withholds those on whom He has passed the decree of death and sends the others back till an appointed term–(Qur’an 39:42). If Allah had given Jesus death on the cross, Jesus would have stayed dead, because the dead are not returned–(Qur’an 23:100).
   That Jesus did not die on the cross is substantiated in Qur’an 3:54-55 where Allāh tells Jesus, “Then to Me is your return.” It would have been pointless for Allāh to tell Jesus “Then to Me is your return,” if Allāh had already given Jesus death and literally raised Jesus to Himself –Jesus would already be returned to Him.

Christians say whereas historians say Jesus was killed on the cross, the Qur’an is the only source that denies that Jesus was killed –meaning that Allah is wrong. One cannot deny something that didn’t happen –Allāh did not deny the crucifixion, Allāh enlightened us about it. Jesus only appeared to be dead.
The question is, were these historians present when Jesus was taken from the “cross”? and did they carry out any medical examination to determine that Christ was dead or alive?

Jesus was born between 4-6 BC and “died” between 30-36 AD.
   -Greek historian Josephus Flavius, was born in 37 AD –a year AFTER Christ’s alleged crucifixion. Thus, his evidence is hearsay.
   -Roman (and Pagan) historian Tacitus, a Roman senator, was born in 56 AD –twenty years AFTER Christ’s alleged crucifixion.  Thus, his evidence is hearsay.
   -Jewish historian Josephus Flavius (original name, Joseph Ben Matthias) was born in AD 37/38) –one to two years AFTER Christ’s alleged crucifixion. Thus, his evidence is hearsay.
   -Pliny the Younger, “a lawyer, author, and magistrate of Ancient Rome,” was born in 61 AD –about twenty-five years AFTER Christ’s alleged crucifixion. Thus, his evidence is hearsay.
   -Suetonius, a “Roman biographer and antiquarian”, was born around 69 AD –about thirty-nine years AFTER Christ’s alleged crucifixion. Thus, his evidence is hearsay.
  If a Christian should take such sources to court as proof of Jesus’ crucifixion, Judge Jacob would not blink twice to toss him and his hearsay brief out of his court. And head first.

(Paul was not present at the alleged crucifixion. His claim that Jesus was “crucified/resurrected” is his own fabrication: “Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL”–(2 Timothy 2:8; Galatians  1:6. Paul forged his own gospel).
  Revealingly, whereas Paul here made Jesus “dead,” he contradicts himself in Hebrews 5:7 where he states about Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane to be spared from death: “Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and WAS HEARD in that he feared.” (God answered Jesus’ prayers and saved him from death).

The only person with Jesus when he was taken from the “cross” was Joseph of Arimathea; he took Jesus for burial; afterwards women followed him–(Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:43-47; Luke 23:50-55; John 19:38). They must have observed Jesus was alive. For, almost three days later women took sweet spices to anoint Jesus–(Mark 16:1. Who anoints the dead? And a three-day old dead at that).

That Jesus did not die on the cross is evidenced by Jesus himself:
   -Jesus prayed to be spared from death–(Matthew 26:36-44. 
 -prayers of the righteous are always answered–(Psalm 22:24; 34:15-19; John 9:31; Matthew 7:8-9);
  -God always answered Jesus’ prayers–(John 11:41-42).
 -After the alleged crucifixion and resurrection Jesus had his disciples examine him to verify he was not spirit, as the resurrected is, but was of flesh and bones: a mortal–(Luke 24:38-39).

  -As Jesus was praying to be spared from death, an angel of the Lord appeared and strengthened him–(Luke 22:43; assuring him that God would save him. Angel strengthened God?).
But Jesus thought God had reneged in his assurance; this is why he lamented, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”–(Matthew 27:46. God praying to and forsaking Himself? Only in Christianity).
But God did not forsake Jesus, God rendered Jesus unconscious/ comatose (as noted, Allāh removes the souls of men at sleep and at death–Qur’an 39:42) which made Jesus appear to be dead. This is how Allāh saved Jesus. In those days no one checked for pulse, if you’re limp you’re dead. Even Pilate was surprised that Jesus was already dead–(Mark 15:44).

By making Jesus appear dead, Allāh prevented Jesus’ legs from being broken–(John 19:33), which was a common practice to hasten the death of the crucified.
  Whereas Christians use hearsay evidence that Jesus was killed, Jesus testified he was not killed and Allāh confirms Jesus’ testimony and informed us how He saved Jesus.
So, who will you believe, the Church and her ectopic historians, or Jesus and Allāh?

Regarding the alleged crucifixion of Jesus there is also scientific proof that Jesus did not die on the cross. Scientific tests on photographs of the Shroud of Turin (the sheet in which Jesus is said to have been placed after he was taken from the “cross”) shows that Jesus did not die on the cross.

M.A. Faruqui notes in his book The Crumbling of the Cross that Kurt Berna of Stuttgart, Germany, after carrying out scientific tests on photographs of the Shroud of Turin concluded, that the body in the Shroud was not a dead body.”
Faced with this irrefutable evidence, the reigning pope of the Vatican, Pope John XXIII made a proclamation on 30 June 1960, he “informed and directed all the Catholic Bishops to believe and to propagate that the complete salvation of the human race lies through the blood of Jesus Christ, and that the death of Jesus Christ is not essential for this purpose.” (The Crumbling of the Cross, pp. 98-109. Color added. 
Note well:  That “salvation of the human race lies through the blood of Jesus Christ” is NOT the teaching of God or Jesus.

That “salvation of the human race lies through the blood of Jesus Christ” is papal’s verbal gymnastics -how can salvation be through the “blood” of Jesus Christ when there is/was no “blood” of Jesus Christ?
Is this the work of Divine messengers or Devil disciples?
(The Crumbling of the Cross, see www.muslim.org).

As already noted, that after the non-existent crucifixion, Jesus’ instructions to his followers to baptize all people of the world in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit/Ghost; are “forgeries” in the Bible.

Again. Jesus knew Jews wanted to kill him: “Why go ye about to kill me”–(John 7:19. It is strange Jesus should ask this if he had come to die to fulfill prophecy; and to give his life willingly). But why did Jews want to kill Jesus? Two reasons:

(1) Jewish clergy believed Jesus’ preaching was dividing the nation which would make the nation vulnerable to Roman domination–(John 11:43-48). Killing Jesus would remove this threat, and as Jesus would be no more, his followers will also diminish/die off:
“And Caiaphas, being the high priest…said unto them…it is expedient for us. that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. Then they took counsel together for to put him to death. Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews but went…into Ephraim”–(John 11: 49-54).

Notably, that Caiaphas did not speak of “himself” but “prophesied” that Jesus should die, does not mean that Caiaphas was repeating any prophecy that Jesus came to be crucified; all it means is that Caiaphas was speaking not as an ordinary priest but as “high priest” and he has given the judgment/decision that Jesus will be killed to save the nation from Roman domination. The following words “Then they took counsel together for to put him (Jesus) to death” confirm this.
If Caiaphas knew Jesus would be killed to fulfill prophecy it would have been pointless for Caiaphas to plot Jesus’ death.

Moreover, Caiaphas could not have known the manner, time and place of Jesus’ death and would have been trying to circumvent or competing with Divine decree, which would amount to an absurdity.
Also, the speaking about gathering “the children of God that were scattered abroad;” “abroad” could not mean the rest of the world. Jesus could have hardly have followers outside of his area.

   (2) The other reason Jews wanted to kill Jesus was because of his condemnation of Jewish hierarchy. Christian authority is  cognizant of this fact. The Self-Pronouncing Edition of the King James Bible, by The World Publishing Company, 2231 West 110TH Street, Cleveland 2, Ohio, (p. 77) notes in its section ‘Bible Dictionary’ under the term ‘scribe,’:

“Their familiarity with the law allowed the scribes to take on a role of growing importance in Jewish society –teaching in the synagogues, serving as judges, and becoming members of the Sanhedrin. Jesus refused to accept the mass of detail and the superficial technicalities which they affixed to the law, and He accused them of hypocritical interpretations of the law. For these reasons they opposed His teachings and were one of  the groups, as were the Pharisees, that helped to plot His death–(Matt. 5:20; 21:15; Mark 10:33; 14:53; Luke 11:44; 20: 46; John 8:3; Acts 4:5; 6:12).” (Emphasis/color added).
   Had Jesus not condemn Jewish hierarchy and had they not fear Roman domination of their nation because of Jesus’ influence on the people, there would have been no talk about Jesus being killed.

As shown, even if Jesus was killed it would have been for political or theological reason –political because of Caiaphas fear of Roman domination; theological because of Jesus’ opposition to the scribes and Pharisees.

WHAT BECAME OF JESUS “POST-CROSS”?
After Jesus’ birth and circumcision at eight days old the next we hear about him was when he was twelve –for the first eleven/ twelve years there is no account of the Christian’s son of God and “God.” The next time we hear about Jesus was when he was about thirty years old, baptizing at the River Jordan–(Luke 3:23. Jesus’ mission is said to have lasted for some three years, at the age of thirty-three).

So, for some twenty-nine years the Gospels have no record of the Christian’s “God” and son of God and world Redeemer. Even after all the fanfare of singing angels and guiding star and wise men traveling some five hundred miles in winter weather and with treasures for this “King of kings, and Lord of lords”–Rev. 17:14; 19:16). Astounding!

During this time, as Luke says (Luke 2:42, 40, 52), Jesus “waxed strong in spirit” and “Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” (“God” and son of God need to “wax” strong in spirit and to “increase in wisdom”? If Jesus is God how can he find “favour with God”?).

But did Jesus “waxed strong” in Palestine/Nazareth in his father’s carpenter-shop or someplace else? Putting aside Jesus’ presence at the temple at age twelve, this would leave us with some seventeen years of which the Gospels gave no account about Jesus. To understand where Jesus was these years, Jesus’ mission needs to be kept in perspective.

As noted, Jesus made it clear that his mission was wholly and solely only for Jews. But where were these “lost” sheep that Jesus had to “seek and save?” Where was Jesus for the some eighteen years of which the Gospels have no account?

Khwaja Nazir Ahmad in his revealing book Jesus in Heaven on Earth, (noting materials from the Old Testament and history) has detailed that the Israelites, after their destructions in their pre-Jesus history, had not all returned to their “own land.”

Whereas only Two of the Twelve Tribes of Israel were present in Palestine at Jesus’ arrival the remaining Ten Tribes –referred to as the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel– were in many parts of Asia, including Afghanistan and Kashmir. (Khwaja notes facts recorded by different travelers regarding the dispersed Israelites, and concludes about the Afghans):
“It is obvious, therefore, that tradition, history, written records, both ancient and modern, point to the one conclusion that the Afghans are the descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel.” 

Khwaja also gave extensive details about the Kashmiris, one of which was that “Certain archaeological discoveries conclusively prove that Afghans and Kashmiris are the descendants of Israel of old.”    

As the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel were in Afghanistan and Kashmir, and as Jesus had to “seek and save” them then Jesus had to travel from Palestine to Afghanistan and Kashmir. To this, Khwaja notes the accounts of several travelers and a “Map illustrating the route followed by Jesus in his first journey to India”
   From Jerusalem Jesus traveled to Damascus onto Nisibin, through Iran to Sindh, onto Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Jaggannath, Benaras, Nepal, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iran, and back to Jerusalem. Khwaja concludes:

“According to ancient Tibetan manuscripts, Jesus secretly withdrew from the home of Mary and Joseph at age thirteen. Young “Issa” joined a merchant caravan. Destination: India and the Himalayas.

   At Juggernaut, “the white priests of Brahma made him a joyous welcome. They taught him to read and understand the Vedas, to cure by aid of prayer, to teach, to explain the holy scriptures to the people, and to drive out evil spirits from the bodies of men.”

  • Buddhist scholars documented “The Life of Saint Issa” two thousand years ago.
  • Nicholas Notovitch discovered the long-lost document in 1887 at the Himis monastery in Ladakh.
  • Swami Abhedananda published a Bengali translation of the Himis manuscript in 1929.
  • Nicholas Roerich quoted the same verses in a 1929 travel diary of his Asian expedition.
  • And in 1939, a beaming lama at Himis presented a set of parchments to Elizabeth Caspari with the words: “These books say your Jesus was here!” (p. 338/404). (See Jesus-18 missing years).

Upon his return to Palestine Jesus became embroiled with Jewish hierarchy that lead to his being targeted for death.
                                            *

         13. IS JESUS RETURN PROPHECY OR FANTASY?
Jesus declares: “I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do”-(John17:4). And the work God “gavest” Jesus to do, as already detailed, was to seek and save the Children of Israel (to preach to them).
As Jesus completed his mission there is no return. It is the Comforter who guides into “all truth”, as Jesus says, that will abide “forever.’

Whereas some Christians are yet scanning Jerusalem’s sky for Jesus’ descent, Jehovah’s Witnesses infer that Jesus came in 1914, though his coming was an “invisible presence”-(Mankind’s Search For God, (p. 353-354. If Christ came in 1914 he truly brought “sword”, “fire” “hate” and “division” rather than “peace” to the world, as he bequeathed. World War I produced a holocaust of carnage; not to mention World War II, and other wars on to this day).

It would seem hypocritical for Jesus to return to save those he considered “dogs” and “swine” and tried to keep out of heaven by speaking in parables to them–(Matthew 7:6; 15:26; Mark 4:9-12).

Lord Krishna, who precedes Jesus, says in the Bhagavad-Gita (4:6-8): “I still appear in every millennium…. Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice….To deliver the pious.”  And as there would be “a decline in religious practice” at that future time, Krishna would undoubtedly be there 
   And Buddha, who also preceded Jesus by five hundred years,  said he will return to earth “to restore the world to order and happiness”. (In his book The Sources of Christianity, Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din lists forty-eight (48) similarities between Buddha and Jesus, including their miraculous birth, Temptation, Transfiguration, Ascension and Return).

Thus, if Krishna, Buddha and Jesus were to return to lord the world, considering that their doctrines are contradictory –Krishna and Buddha teaching karma and reincarnation, and Jesus teaching resurrection and judgment– they may have their own Armageddon battle for supremacy over the other.

In contrast to Jesus’ teaching that he was only a prophet sent to the Jews and that paradise lies in following the Mosaic Law (till the Comforter comes), Christians fashioned Jesus into the mold of David. Encyclopedia Britannica explains:

  “David was Israel’s first successful king….

David became the prototype of an awaited Messiah. As symbol of the Messiah, the return of David, or the coming of David’s “son” stood for the reassertion of the divine rule and presence in history: to judge it, to redeem it, to renew it. David thus became the symbol of a fulfilment in the future, final peace.

   In the apocalyptic developments in Judaism that mark the last two pre-Christian centuries, the symbolic rule of David stressed his status as divine mediator. The son of David became more emphatically a heavenly figure, the son of God enthroned to rule over the nations of the world. This was the matrix for the rise of Christianity. The new faith interpreted the career of Jesus by means of the titles and functions assigned to David in the mysticism of the Zion cult, in which he served as priest-king and in which he was the mediator between God and man.”-(Encyclopedia Britannica, 15th, ed; Vol. 5; art. David; Nation Builder, and Messianic symbol, pp. 518, 519. Highlight added).

Clearly, Christians tailored Jesus to suit David according to their imaginations. Whereas God made David earthly king, Christians try to make Jesus heavenly king.  

Regarding Jesus’ alleged 1000-year reign some time in the future, this is based on the Book of Revelation. The Book of revelation is said to be a vision given to John by Jesus through an angel with the permission of God–(Revelation 1:1).
But the Book of Revelation is not prophecies about a future coming and rule of Jesus. The imageries in the Book of Revelation are either echoes from Old Testament writings or Christian imaginations. (Some Churches reject the Book of Revelation, as will be shown, and for potent reasons).

Jesus’s Second coming is Christian invention based on  “Iranian mythology”. Encyclopedia Britannica notes:

“Revelation to John appears to be a collection of separate units composed by unknown authors who lived during the last quarter of the first century, though it purports to have been written by John…
Although Christ is clearly the central figure of Revelation, an understanding of the text presupposes familiarity with the Old Testament language and concepts, especially those taken from the books of Daniel and Ezekiel …References to a “thousand years” (ch. 20) have led some to expect that the final victory over evil will come after the completion of some millennium.”-(Ency. Brit. 15th Edn; Vol. VIII, art. Revelation to John, p. 537).

  “One of the most pervading and dominant mythological themes to be noted in the New Testament and the writings of the subapostolic church (late 1st–early 2nd centuries) was that of the ages of the world. Derived from Indo-Iranian (or Indo-European) sources and transformed through Jewish concepts of history, the theme of the ages of the world that most influenced Christianity came from the apocalyptic speculation that flourished during the period of the rise of Christianity.
…It was Iranian mythological concepts of the ages of the world, translated through Jewish apocalyptic views, that most influenced Christian views of time, history, and man’s ultimate destiny.

…The theme of the ages of the world and its attendant subthemes that came primarily from Iranian mythology were transformed by apocalyptic literature ––which flourished in Judaism and then Christianity from about the 2nd century BC to about 2nd century AD–– into a historical context, though Zoroastrian had done this in reference to the last age. Indo-Iranian myth was thus historicized through the Judeo-Christian view of historical time as the arena of struggle between good and evil. The four ages of the world in Christianity are: (1) from creation of the world and man to the Fall of man; (2) from the Fall of man to the first advent of Christ; (3) from the first to the second advent of Christ, which includes the 1,000-year reign of Christ and his saints and the Last Judgment; and (4) the creation of a new heaven and a new earth in which those who have chosen the good (i.e., Christ) will live in eternity.”-(Ency Brit. 15th Edn; Vol. 4, art. Myth and legend from the 1st to the early 2nd centuries, pp. 551-552).

Whereas David was a material king, Christians try to make Jesus into a heavenly king.
Regarding the Book of Revelation, it is to be noted:

  1. The Book of Revelation was written about sixty years after Jesus, and was ““squeezed into the canon in the fourth century” and barely made it into the 27-book lineup”” of the New Testament. (See the Internet).
    It is stated, “Revelation was among the last books accepted into the Christian biblical canon, and to the present day some churches that derive from the Church of the East reject it. Eastern Christians became skeptical of the book as doubts concerning its authorship and unusual style were reinforced by aversion to its acceptance by Montanists and other groups considered to be heretical. This distrust of the Book of Revelation persisted in the East through the 15th century.” And “As of 2015 Revelation remains the only New Testament book not read in the Divine Liturgy of the Eastern Orthodox Church, though Catholic and Protestant liturgies include it.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_ of_Revelation. Emphasis/color added).
    (For Jesus’ Second coming in the Qur’an see Jesus birth in Bible & Qur’an).

Now you know! 
From earth to heaven Christianity is mired in mythology. (For the imageries of the Book of Revelation see Jesus-1000-year rule). 


                    14. DOES CHRISTIANITY EXIST?
Christians prophesy that Islam will collapse.

So Islam will collapse. What about Christianity?
Whereas Islam and Muslims are Divine designations clearly expressed in the Qur’an; Christians and Christianity are human ascriptions. Followers of Christ were known as Nazarenes; after Christ who was “called a Nazarene.”
   “Christian” was first used by Luke around 90 AD (almost 60 years after Christ): “And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch”–(The Acts 11:26). 

Given that Jesus came only for Jews, considered non-Jews “dogs” and “swine” and preached in parables to keep them out of heaven; and he taught Unity of God–(Mark 12:29) as opposed to Trinity; and he taught sinless birth (likening children to the kingdom of God), and that eternal life lies in observing the Mosaic Law until the arrival of the Comforter as opposed to original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement. Christians are followers of the Church NOT of Christ.
And as a “Christian” is one who follows Christ, and as Christians are not following Christ, logically THERE IS NO CHRISTIAN IN THE WORLD TODAY. Thus, after two thousand years JESUS DOES NOT HAVE EVEN A SINGLE FOLLOWER

As they are followers of the Church, Christians are factually “CHURCHIANS” and their religion is “CHURCHIANITY.”
And as the name Christianity comes from Christ, and as there is no Christian –no follower of Christ– therefore, logically CHRISTIANITY DOES NOT EXIST! 

JESUS CHRIST IS ONLY A FIGUREHEAD IN THE CHURCH! (See Christianity dupes people)

As noted, Christianity –Trinity, original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement– is opposed to the teachings of Christ, and as promoting doctrines in the name of Christ that Christ did not teach is to be against Christ, logically:
THE CHURCH/CHRISTIANS IS THE ANTI-CHRIST.  

Whereas there are some 1.8 billion Muslims in the world today. For the past 1500 years there has not been, and there is not now, and there will not be, any “Christian” in the world.
Even if Churchians should turn to the teaching of Christ –that he was only a prophet sent to reform the Israelite and exhort them to follow the Comforter– yet there would be no Christian. For, if Christians want to go to heaven, and they certainly do, Christians would have no choice but to take the natural and logical step to ISLAM! 

WILL ISLAM COLLAPSE?:
Spiritually: Islam, which is peace and submission to the will of God, governs all creations –every created thing is under the governance of Divine Law or submits to the will of God– and transcends from eternity to eternity. Thus, spiritually, ISLAM WILL NEVER COLLAPSE.  (See All people are Muslims).

Theologically: Unlike the doctrines of “Christianity” –Trinity, original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement– which are repugnant to reason. The doctrines of Islam –Unity of Godhood, Salah/Prayer, Zakaat/Charity, Fasting, and Hajj– are conducive to reason, the factor through which God calls us to govern ourselves–(Isaiah 1:18, Qur’an 16:125), and the factor which separates us from, and elevates us above, the animals. Thus, theologically, so long as man governs himself by reason ISLAM WILL NOT COLLAPSE.

HAS ISLAM SURPASSED CHRISTIANITY?
Christians promote Christianity as ‘World Vision’; Allāh decrees Islam ‘Divine Vision’:
“He (Allāh) it is Who has sent His Messenger (Mohammad) with the guidance and the Religion of Truth that He may make it prevail over all religions, though the polytheists are averse”–(Qur’an 9:33; 48:28; 61:9. Trinitarians are polytheists).
Islam has some 1.8 billion followers with every sect believing in its five cardinal components –Unity/Purity of God, Prayer, Zakaat/Charity, Fasting and Hajj.
   In contrast. Christianity’s two billion adherents consist of various factions of contradictory cardinal beliefs –some believe in Trinity some do not; some believe in original/inherited sin others do not. Thus, no individual faction of Christianity has more followers than Islam.
As Muslims are greater in number than any of the factions of Christianity (and other religions) this Divine decree for Islam to prevail over all religions IS ALREADY REALIZED.
                                                          *

WHY CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM DEBATE?
Allāh says He revealed the Qur’an to Prophet Mohammad through the angel Gabriel; and the doctrines of Islam –Unity of God; Prayer, Zakaat/Charity, Fasting and Hajj– are clearly expressed in the Qur’an and observed by Prophet Mohammad.

As Christian cannot show in the Bible that God says He revealed the Gospel to Jesus and that He inspired Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to write the Gospel; nor can Christian show where their doctrines –Trinity, original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement– are clearly expressed in the Bible and observed by Jesus Christ, Christians have no Divine foundation to stand on.
  Thus, in having debates with Christians, Muslims are giving legitimacy to Christian inventions.

Only the uneducated and unthinking Muslim will leave Islam to kiss the useless and unGodly crucifix.
Muslims who apostatized from Islam, and Christians who want that “mansion” Christ was not certain “IF” he would go and prepare and return, have the grand opportunity to return/turn to Allah. When you die -and as no one knows when he/she will die-  this grand opportunity evaporates like dewdrop in Hell.

WHICH CHRISTIANS DID ALLAH SAY WILL GO TO HEAVEN?
Allah says: “Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good, they have their reward with their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve”–(Qur’an 2:62 also 5:69). 
   One Christian try to use this verse as argument against Muslims, claiming that Allah says Christians will go to heaven (that Christianity is a true religion). 

But this verse refers to Christians who follow Christ –that Christ, as he taught and as Allah revealed, was messenger only for Jews who are to subsequently follow the Comforter, Ahmad/ Mohammad.
  This verse is not about Christians who follow Trinity and sonship of God –which ‘sonship of God’ Allah exposes as paganism these doctrines are blasphemy: 

  –Certainly they disbelieve who say: Allah, He is the Messiah, son of Mary. And the Messiah said: O Children of Israel, serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah, Allah has forbidden to him the Garden and his abode is the Fire. And for the wrongdoers there will be no helpers.”
  -“Certainly they disbelieve who say: Allah is the third of the three. And there is no God but One God. And if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement will surely befall such of them as disbelieve”-(Qur’an 5:72-73). 

  -“And to warn those who say: Allah has taken to Himself a son. They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grievous is the word that comes out of their mouths. They speak nothing but a lie”–(Qur’an 18:4-5).
  -“And they say: The Beneficent has taken to Himself a son. Certainly you make an abominable assertion! The heavens may almost be rent thereat, and the earth cleave asunder, and the mountains fall down in pieces, That they ascribe a son to the Beneficent! And it is not worthy of the Beneficent that He should take to Himself a son. There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes to the Beneficent as a servant”–(Qur’an 19:88-93).
   -“And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. These are the words of their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before. Allah’s curse be on them! How they are turned away!”–(Qur’an 9:30). 

Christians who follow Trinity and sonship of God (which includes original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement) are blasphemers; and blasphemers are destined to Hell not to Heaven.
Trinity was invented by the Church 324 years AFTER Jesus and ‘sonship of God’ and original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement were, as noted, devised by Paul. 

Jews and Christians prior to Prophet Mohammad who followed their respective prophet will receive their reward from Allah.    Jews and Christians who died without knowing about Mohammad/Islam, as well as Jews and Christians who are living and do not know about Mohammad/Islam, even though they may have been misled into following unGodly doctrines, will have their “reward,” Allāh pleasing, (as they could not be charged as having rejected Mohammad/Islam).

As Islam is the only Divine-revealed religion and is superior to all religions –no religion can be shown to be equal with or superior to Islam– whoever rejects Islam/Mohammad is going to Hell–(Cf. Qur’an 3:85; 9:113; 30:30. Muslim, Vol. 1, # 284).
   Jews and Christians who follow Islam/Mohammad would be rewarded twice–(Qur’an 28:54). 

Regarding the Sabians. Muhammad Ali:
“The Sabians are mentioned in the Holy Qur’an on three occasions only, here and in 5:69 along with the Jews and the Christians, and in 22:17 with these and the Magians. According to En. Br., the Sabians were a semi-Christian sect of Babylonia, closely resembling the so-called “Christians of St. John the Baptist”. The probable derivation of the name is traced to an Aramaic root, and the root meaning is said to be those who wash themselves, and this is said to be corroborated by Arab writers applying to them the name of al-Mughtasilah. The idea that the Sabians were star-worshippers is rejected; the error, it is said, being due to the pseudo-Sabians of Harrian, who chose to be known by that name in the reign of Al-Mamun, in 830 A.D., in order to be classed as the “People of the Book”. The commentators hold different opinions regarding them, most of them agreeing that they are representatives of a religion between Judaism and Christianity, based on the doctrine of unity, but also maintaining worship of angels. The majority do not include them in the Ahl al-Kitab (AH).”
  (Muslims are urged to obtain a copy of Muhammad Ali’s translation of the Qur’an which may be viewed/downloaded/ bought from www.muslim.org

About Allah’s saying in Qur’an 9:30: “And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. These are the words of their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before. Allah’s curse be on them! How they are turned away!”
Muhammad Ali comments:  

“That there was a sect among the Jews who raised Ezra to the dignity of godhead, or son of God, is shown by Muslim historians. Qastalani says, in the Kitab al-Nikah, that there was a party of Jews who held this belief. Nor did the Jews deny this allegation. The Qur’an, too, mentions it only here in connection with the Christian doctrine, never blaming the Jews directly in the many controversies with them in the earlier chapters, and this shows that the Jewish nation as a whole was not guilty of entertaining this belief.  

Another explanation of the statement made here is the free use of the word son. Elsewhere the Qur’an says of the Jews and the Christians that they call themselves the sons of Allah and His beloved ones (5:18), the meaning only being that they considered themselves special favourites of the Divine Being. Hence the belief regarding Ezra may be interpreted in the same light, for there is clear evidence that the Talmudists used very exaggerated language concerning him. Among the prophets of Israel, Ezra was specially honoured. In Rabbinical literature Ezra was considered “worthy of being the vehicle of the law, had it not been already given through Moses”. “He is regarded and quoted as the type of person most competent and learned in the law. The Rabbis associate his name with several important institutions” (Jewish Encyclopaedia). 

We are here told that the Christian doctrine that Jesus Christ was the son of God was borrowed from earlier pagan people. Recent research has established the fact beyond all doubt. In fact, when St. Paul saw that the Jews would on no account accept Jesus Christ as a messenger of God, he introduced the pagan doctrine of sonship of God into the Christian religion, so that it might become more acceptable to the pagans.” 

It is worth noting here Qur’an 9:31 which is relevant to the above topic: “They take their doctors of law and their monks for lords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah, son of Mary. And they were enjoined that they should serve one God only —there is no god but He. Be He glorified from what they set up (with Him)!”
Muhammad Ali comments:  

“Most of the commentators agree that it does not mean that they took them actually for gods; the meaning is that they followed them blindly in what they enjoined and what they forbade, and therefore they are described as having taken them for lords, on account of attaching to them a Divine dignity. It is related in a hadith that, when this verse was revealed, ‘Adi ibn Hatim, a convert from Christianity, asked the Holy Prophet as to the significance of this verse, for, he said, we did not worship our doctors of law and monks. The Holy Prophet’s reply was: Was it not that the people considered lawful what their priests declared to be lawful, though it was forbidden by God. Hatim replied in the affirmative. That, the Prophet said, was what the verse meant (Tr. 44:9; IJ). Muslims who accord a similar position to their pirs or saints are guilty of the same error.

DO MUSLIMS HAVE  ASSURANCE OF  PARADISE/HEAVEN?
Allah tells us in His Qur’an –in the Arabic language in which He revealed the Qur’an– that
–His name is Allah;
–Mohammad is His Messenger;
–He revealed the Qur’an to Prophet Mohammad;
–He named man’s religion Islam;
–He designated followers of Islam Muslims;
–in the Hereafter Muslims will inherit Gardens of peace and bliss. 

Allah revealed He sent messengers to teach people in their own language: “And We sent no messenger but with the language of his people, so that he might explain to them clearly. (Qur’an 14:4. In his book What’s His Name, Ahmed Deedat has noted the names of God in various languages).
Whether we call God Eli, Ishwar, Allah, Manitou or Atnatu, whereas the assigning of Heaven or Hell is solely the authority of God, that Muslims have assurance of inheriting Gardens (Paradise/Heaven) and that Prophet Mohammad has been given permission by Allah to assure people of a life in Heaven/Paradise is fortified in the following verses:

Name of Allah:
–“I, Allah, am the Seer. A Book which We have revealed to thee (Mohammad) that thou mayest bring forth men, by their Lord’s permission, from darkness into light, to the way of the Mighty, the Praised One” (Qur’an 14:1).
–“Allah — there is no God but He. His are the most beautiful names” (Qur’an 20:8)
–“Surely I am Allah, there is no God but I, so serve Me, and keep up prayer for My remembrance” (Qur’an 20:14),
–“O Moses, surely I am Allah, the Mighty, the Wise”; “O Moses, surely I am Allah, the Lord of the worlds” (Qur’an 27:10; 28:30)

Qur’an from Allah:
 –“And surely this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds. The Faithful Spirit (Gabriel) has brought it on thy (Mohammad’s) heart that thou mayest be a warner, in plain Arabic language (Qur’an 26:192-195)
Beneficent God! A revelation from the Beneficent, the Merciful. A Book of which the verses are made plain, an Arabic Qur’an for a people who know (Qur’an 41:1-3)
–“The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise (Qur’an 45:2)

Mohammad is Messenger of Allah:
–“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the prophets. (Qur’an 33:40)
–“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (Qur’an 48:29)
–“And those who believe and do good, and believe in that which has been revealed to Muhammad — and it is the Truth from their Lord — He will remove their evil from them and improve their condition (Qur’an 47:2)
–“And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and obey the Messenger, so that mercy may be shown to you (Qur’an 24:56)

Obedience to Mohammad is obedience to Allah; following Mohammad is following Allah:
–“Say: If you love Allah, follow me: Allah will love you, and grant you protection from your sins.…Say: Obey Allah and the Messenger (Qur’an 3:31-32);
–“And obey Allah and the Messenger, that you may be shown mercy” (Qur’an 3:132)
–“And whoever obeys Allåh and His Messenger, He will admit him to Gardens wherein flow rivers, to abide in them. And this is the great achievement (Qur’an 4:13)
–“So keep your duty to Allah and set aright your differences, and obey Allah and His Messenger, if you are believer” (Qur’an 8:1)
–“Believe in Allah and His Messenger” (Qur’an 57:7)
–“And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will cause him to enter Gardens wherein flow rivers” (Qur’an 48:17); “Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah…. (Qur’an 4:80).
Clearly, obedience to, and belief in, the Prophet is obedience to, and belief in, Allah.

Muslims, males and females, have assurance of Gardens /Heaven/Paradise:
–“And those who flee in Allah’s way and are then slain or die, Allah will certainly grant them a goodly sustenance. …He will certainly cause them to enter a place which they are pleased with” (22:58-59)

–“And speak not of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead. Nay, (they are) alive, but you perceive not” (Qur’an 2:154)

–“And think not of those who are killed in Allah’s way as dead. Nay, they are alive being provided sustenance from their Lord Rejoicing in what Allah has given them out of His grace” (Qur’an 3:169-171)

–“And whoever fights in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, We shall grant him a mighty reward”–(Qur’an 4:74).

   Regarding those slain in the way of Allah, Bokhari records a saying of Prophet Mohammad:  “Narrated Anas: “Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) and said, “O Allāh’s Apostle! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in Paradise, I shall remain patient, and hope for reward from Allāh, but if it is not so, then you shall see what I do?” He said, “May Allāh be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al-Firdaus”–(Bokhari Vol. 5, #318). Allaho Akbar! (For the many Paradises see Hijab/head covering)

–“Vie one with another for forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden the extensiveness of which is as the extensiveness of the heaven and the earth— it is prepared for those who believe in Allah and His messengers” (Qur’an 57:21)
–“And the foremost, the first of the Emigrants and the Helpers, and those who followed them in goodness — Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them Gardens wherein flow rivers, abiding therein for ever” (Qur’an 9:100)

–“And whoever does good deeds, whether male or FEMALE, and he (or she) is a believer –these will enter the Garden, and they will NOT be dealt with a whit unjustly”–Qur’an 4:124)
–“Gardens of perpetuity, which they will enter along with those who do good from among their FATHERS and their SPOUSES  and their OFF-SPRING; and the angels will enter in upon them from every gate. Peace be to you, because you were constant — how excellent is then the final Abode!” (Qur’an 13:23-24)
–“Surely the owners of the Garden are on that day in a happy occupation. They and their WIVES are in shades, reclining on raised couches”–(Qur’an 36:56)
–“Enter the garden, you and your WIVES being made happy”–(Qur’an 43:70)
–“And those who believe and whose OFF-SPRING follow them in faith –We unite them with their offspring and We shall deprive them of naught of their work. Every man is pledged for his work”–Qur’an 52:21)

–“Surely the men who submit and the WOMEN who submit, and the believing men and the believing  WOMEN, and the obeying men and the obeying  WOMEN, and the truthful men and the truthful  WOMEN, and the patient men and the patient WOMEN, and the humble men and the humble WOMEN, and the almsgiving men and the almsgiving WOMEN, and the fasting men and the fasting WOMEN, and the men who guard their private parts and the women who guard, and the men who remember Allah much and the  WOMEN  who remember­ –Allah has prepared for  THEM  FORGIVENESS AND A MIGHTY REWARD”–(Qur’an 33:35).
   Any wonder then that even in the face of our adversity and suffering Muslims still laugh and smile: “And you hope from Allāh what they hope not”–(Qur’an 4:104).  Māshā-Allāh! Alhamdo-lillāh! Allaho Akbar!

And Prophet Mohammad taught: “Whoever can guarantee what is between his two jaw-bones and what is between his two legs (meaning to be purity of speech and sexuality) I guarantee Paradise for him” (Bokhari vol; 8, #481).
   This saying of the Prophet seems to be in accord with Qur’an 17:32: “And go not nigh to adultery (zinaa): surely it is an obscenity. And evil is the way”Zinaa means sexual intercourse between a man and a woman who are not married to each other and includes both adultery and fornication; “go not nigh to adultery includes intense staring, amoral speech and touching which are precursors to sexual involvement.

DO CHRISTIANS HAVE ASSURANCE OF PARADISE/HEAVEN?
Whereas Muslims have assurance of Gardens/Heaven/Paradise. Do Christians have assurance of Heaven/Paradise?
As noted at the beginning: Allah tells us in His Qur’an –in the Arabic language in which He revealed the Qur’an– that His name is Allah; Mohammad is His Messenger; He revealed the Qur’an to Prophet Mohammad; He named man’s religion Islam; designated followers of Islam Muslims; and that in the Hereafter Muslims will inherit Gardens of peace and bliss. 

Let Christians –followers of Trinity, original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement– show in their Bible in the Hebrew language in which God revealed the Bible that:

–His name is Jehovah and Yahweh;
–Jesus is His messenger
–He revealed Bible/Gospel to Jesus
–He named man’s religion Christianity
–He designated followers of Christianity Christians
–He gave assurance that Christians will inherit Paradise/Heaven/mansion.

Notably. Jesus saying in Matthew 19:28, “That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel”, this does not refer to Christians –followers of trinity, original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement. These 144,000 are Jews made up of 12,000 each from the twelve tribes of Israel (Revelation 7:4-8; Exodus 1:1-5; but does not include Jews who know about Mohammad  and reject Mohammad (see Judaism-no future ). That only Jews will be judging with Jesus is not strange. Jesus clearly declared he was sent only for Jews

Regarding this 144,000 JEWS it is said:  “The 144,000 people stood before the throne….They are the men who have kept themselves pure by NOT having SEXUAL RELATIONS with WOMEN; they are VIRGINS”–(in the words of Gideons: “These are the ones who have not been DEFILED WITH WOMEN, for they are CELIBATES”–(Revelation 14:1-4). Sexually experienced men will not be with Jesus; and women, sexually experienced or not, will not be with Jesus –they are ‘DEFILERS’ of men and people who ‘DEFILE’ are not fit to be in Heaven.

Jesus said there are many mansions in the House of God and promised: “I go to prepare a place for you. And IF I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself”–(John 14:2-3). As Jesus has not yet returned, those people to whom he spoke, all that died and will die before his alleged return will not get receive/taken.
Moreover, Jesus said “IF I go” –Jesus is not certain he will go.

Jesus said: “Verily I say unto you, There be some STANDING HERE, which shall NOT TASTE DEATH, TILL THEY SEE the Son of man coming in his kingdom’–(Matthew 16:28). Jesus not only contradicts himself when he said, “I go to my Father, and ye SEE ME NO MORE”–(John 16:10); but it must be the “miracle of the ages” that for two thousand years since Jesus’ departure these “some standing” people are yet living and scanning the Palestinian sky, waiting “here” (there) for Jesus.

As shown in Jesus-only for Jews, from Jesus’ own declarations Jesus came only to Jews, prayed only for Jews, considered non-Jews “dogs” and ‘swine” and preached in parables to keep the “dogs” and “swine” in darkness and out of heaven.

Similarly:
Let Hindus –followers of karma and reincarnation and moksa– show in their Vedas in the Sanskrit language in which God revealed the Veda(s) that:

–His name is Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Rama and Krishna
–Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Rama and Krishna are His messengers
–He revealed the Veda(s) to Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Rama and Krishna
–He named man’s religion Hinduism/Sanatana Dharma
–He designated followers of Hinduism/Sanatana Dharma as Hindus/Sanatanists
–He gave assurance that Hindus/Sanatanists will inherit paradise/ heaven/Swarga. (See  Hinduism-Karma and Reincarnation & Women).

Also:
let Buddhists show (see Buddhism & Buddha)
let Sikhs show (see Sikhism) 
let Bahai’s show (see Baha’is & Baha’ullah).

     15. WHAT DID JESUS MEAN IN SAYING “I PROCEEDETH FORTH AND CAME FROM GOD”? “I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE”?  “BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM”?, “HE THAT HATH SEEN ME HATH SEEN THE FATHER”?  
Christians are notorious for taking Jesus’ metaphorical statements as proof that Jesus is God.  

It is clear that some of Jesus’ sayings are of literal meaning and some are metaphorical.
Some examples of Jesus’ literal teaching are: “I am not sent but into the lost sheep of the House of Israel,” “I pray for them (Jews) I pray not for the world,” “if thou wilt enter into life keep the commandments (brought by Moses).”
Examples of Jesus’ metaphorical sayings are dealt with in the following.     

(1). Jesus said “…I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me–(John 8:42.  This statement by Jesus that he “CAME” from God and that He/God SENT him/Jesus, clearly and conclusively shows that Jesus is NOT God and could NOT be God!). 
   That Jesus “proceeded forth and came from God” is not restricted to Jesus. Everything in creation “proceeded forth and came from God,” from light to the heavens and earth and all vegetation and creatures–(Genesis 1:1-31; 2:1-25); and God said to the prophet Jeremiah:  “BEFORE I formed thee in the belly I knew thee…”–(Jer. 1:5).

That every person had a pre-existence. We took an oath with Allāh before we were sent into the world. Allāh reminds us of this in His Qur’an:
“And when thy Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their loins, their descendants, and made them bear witness about themselves: Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes; we bear witness. Lest you should say on the day of Resurrection: We were unaware of this, Or (lest) you should say: Only our fathers ascribed partners (to Allah) before (us), and we were (their) descendants after them. Wilt Thou destroy us for what liars did?”–(Qur’an 7:172-173). 
   Thus, not only Jesus, but all of us “proceedeth forth and come from God.” Everyone of us “proceeded forth and came from God.”
Jesus said “no man hath ascended up to heaven…even the Son of man WHICH IS IN HEAVEN”–John 3:13.  Since Jesus is on earth and the Son of man is yet in heaven, then clearly this Son of man will also “proceed forth and come from God”. 

 (2) Jesus saying in John 10:30: “I and my Father are one.” means that Jesus and God are one in purpose; as all prophets are “one” in purpose with God, as they do only as they are commanded by God: “For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak”–(John 12:49; 14:10).
Here is Jesus’ saying in its context; Jesus said to the disbelieving Jews who said “He hath a devil and is mad”:

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which GAVE them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to PLUCK them out of my Father’s hand.  I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE” -(John 10:20, 26-30). 
Clearly, God GIVING them to Jesus and no man being able to PLUCK them out of God’s and Jesus’ hands show that God and Jesus are “one” only in PURPOSE. 

Jesus also said:  “I pray for them (Jews)…That they may all be one; as Thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also my be ONE IN US”–(John 17:9-21). If Jesus is God because he said he and his Father are “one,” then the Jews he is praying for so that they also could be “one” “in us” would also be God(s).
Every person who submits to God and invites others to this submission to God is “one” with God. 

(3). In Exodus 3:14 God says His name is “I AM.” In John 8:58 Jesus says: “Before Abraham was, I am.” 
This “I am” of Jesus does not mean that Jesus is saying he is God. All Jesus is saying is that before Abraham was, I am before Abraham –where the “before Abraham” is understood; much like instead of saying I am taller than he is tall, it is said I am taller than him, or I am taller than he is.  (Notably, God’s “I AM” is capital letters, Jesus’ is not. God’s name is also “Jealous”–Exodus 34:14).
Jesus being before Abraham refers to him pre-existing Abraham as Solomon pre-existed Jesus–(Prov. 8:23-35).
As noted above in Jeremiah and the Qur’an, everyone had a pre-existence.  

To take Jesus saying “Before Abraham, I am” to mean that Jesus is saying he is God then Jesus’ saying would be “Before Abraham, God.” Which would be an absurdity. Senseless.
If Jesus is God incarnate, then Satan must be the one who SENT Jesus/God to the “lost sheep of the House of Israel”, the one to whom Jesus “ascended” and the one who gave Jesus “all power.”

(4). Jesus says, “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father”–(John 14:9). Christians assert that this saying of Jesus proves that Jesus is God.
Sure, my Christian brothers and sisters in humanity, sure; God is a dark-skinned, hook-nosed Jewish man. You can tell this to your grand-kids then show them a picture of a blonde, blue-eyed, bearded Tony Blair. 

Jesus saying, “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father” means whoever saw his works (of miracles) has seen the miracles of God; for Jesus performed miracles through the power of God–(John 14:9; Luke 11:20; Acts 2:22). 
This is made clear by Jesus in John 14:10 where Jesus says: “Believe thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak NOT OF MYSELF: but the FATHER THAT DWELLETH IN ME, HE DOETH THE WORKS.” 
(Notably, God dwells in every man: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLETH IN YOU?”–1 Cor. 3:16. Compare with Qur’an: “Then He (Allāh) made him (man) complete and breathed into him of His Spirit”–(15:29; 32:9; 38:72). 

Rather than accept that Jesus, as he clearly and eloquently, declared that he was SENT only to the Israelite, that he prayed ONLY FOR THEM and NOT for the world and preached in parables to keep non-Jews out of heaven. For 2,000 years Christians are trying to baptize  Jesus God.
*

                     16. CHRIST VS. CHRISTIANS

  • Jesus says God is One–(Mark 12:29);
    Christians say (NO) God is three in One (Trinity).
  • Jesus says he was sent to save the Israelite and he prayed only for them and he preached in parables so  non-Jews would not understand to keep them out of heaven–(Matthew 10:5-6; 15:24; Luke 19:10; John 4:22, 17:9; Mark 4:9-12);
    Christians say (NO) Jesus was sent to all to die for the world.
  • Jesus taught we are born free of sin–(Matthew 18:3; 19:14; Luke 18:16-17);
    Christians say (NO) we inherited Adam’s “original” sin.
  • Jesus says eternal life lies in observance of the Mosaic Law–(Matthew 19:16-19; Mark 10:17-19; Luke 18:18-20);
    Christians say (NO) eternal life lies in believing in the (fabled) crucifixion/blood of Jesus Christ.
  • Jesus says he finished God’s work and to follow the Comforter–(John 17:4; 14:16; 16:13);
    Christians say (NO) Jesus is the only way to God.
  • God says circumcision is an everlasting covenant–(Genesis 17:7-8, 17:14);
    Paul/Christians say (NO) circumcision benefits no one–(Galatians 5:2-6);
  • God and Jesus say to observe the law–(Matthew 5:17-18; James 2:14-26; Revelation 20:12-13);
    Paul/Christians says (NO) law is a curse–(Galatians 2:16, 3:13).
    Who will you believe and follow Paul or Jesus and God? (For more on Paul see Allah-and Jesus or Paul). 

As shown, Trinity and original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement are Church inventions –Trinity was invented by the Church 324 years after Christ; original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement were devised by Paul.

Instead of accepting the Divine truth that Jesus was only a prophet of God sent to minister to the Children of Israel. For 2,000 years Christians are suffering tremendous labor pains trying to give birth to their phantom, three-headed womb-God and vicarious atoner, Jesus Christ, and hammering up all manner of inane contraptions to prop him up.
Clearly, the religion that utilizes the human brain to devise Divine doctrines is “artificial and false”. Such is the Christian religion.
       The cross has crumbled before the Crescent. 

“And say:
The Truth has come
and falsehood has vanished.
Surely falsehood is ever bound to vanish”
(Qur’an 17:81).
Subhān Allāh!
Alhamdo lillāh!
Allāho Akbar!
I bear witness there is no God but Allāh;
And I bear witness Mohammad is
the Messenger of Allāh.
