ABRAHAM–WHICH SON TO SACRIFICE?
Which son was Abraham called to sacrifice, Isaac or Ishmael? In whose hands was Palestine/Holy Land consecrated, Jews or Muslims?

That Ishmael,  and NOT  Isaac, was the son of Abraham’s intended sacrifice is shown in the Bible. Regarding God’s covenant with Abraham, Professor ‘Abdul Ahad Dawud –the former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani BD of the Uniate/Chaldean Sect– explains in his revealing book Muhammad In The Bible:

“There are three distinct points which every true believer in God must accept as truths. The first point is that Ishmael is the legitimate son of Abraham, his firstborn, and therefore his claim to birthright is quite just and legal. The second point is that the Covenant was made between God and Abraham as well as his only son Ishmael before Isaac was born. The Covenant and the institution of the Circumcision would have no value or signification unless the repeated promise contained in the divine words, “Throughout thee all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,” and especially the expression, the Seed “that shall come out from the bowels, he will inherit thee” (Gen. xv. 4). This promise was fulfilled when Ishmael was born (Gen. xvi.), and Abraham had the consolation that his chief servant Eliezer would no longer be his heir. Consequently we must admit that Ishmael was the real and legitimate heir of Abraham’s spiritual dignity and privileges. The prerogative that “by Abraham all the generations of the earth shall be blessed,” so often repeated–though in different forms–was the heritage by birthright, and was the patrimony of Ishmael. The inheritance to which Ishmael was entitled by birth-right was not the tent in which Abraham lived or a certain camel upon which he used to ride, but to subjugate and occupy forever all the territories extending from the Nile to the Euphrates, which were inhabited by some ten different nations (Gen. xvii. 18-21). These lands have never been subdued by the descendants of Isaac, but by those of Ishmael. This is an actual and literal fulfilment of one of the conditions contained in the Covenant.

The third point is that Isaac was also born miraculously and specially blessed by the Almighty, that for his people the land of Canaan was promised and actually occupied under Joshua. ….

….The Jews have always been jealous of Ishmael because they know very well that in him the Covenant was made and with his circumcision it was concluded and sealed, and it is out of this rancour that their scribes or doctors of law have corrupted and interpolated many passages in their Scriptures. To efface the name “Ishmael” from the second, sixth, and seventh verses of the twenty-second chapter of the Book of Genesis and to insert in its place “Isaac,” and to leave the descriptive epithet “thy only begotten son” is to deny the existence of the former and to violate the Covenant made between God and Ishmael. It is expressly said in this chapter by God: “Because thou didst not spare thy only begotten son, I will increase and multiply thy posterity like the stars and the sands on the seashore,” which word “multiply” was used by the Angel to Hagar in the wilderness: I will multiply thy offspring to an innumerable multitude, and that Ishmael “shall become a fruitful man”(Gen. xvi. 12. It is Muslims whose numbers are “like the stars and the sands on the seashore”–(Gen. 22:17). Now the Christians have translated the same Hebrew word, which means “fruitful” or “plentiful” from the verb para –identical with the Arabic wefera– in their versions “a wild ass”! Is it not a shame and impiety to call Ishmael “a wild ass” whom God styles “Fruitful” or “Plentiful”? ”(pp.30-32. Italics/Emphasis/color added).
Man can alter Scripture(s), man cannot alter decree of God.

That Ishmael, and NOT Isaac, was the son Abraham offered in his intended sacrifice is also borne out by Allāh in His Qur’an: Abraham prayed for an heir and is given a son; then he had a vision about him sacrificing this son–(Qur’an 37:100-111), and AFTERWARDS Abraham was promised Isaac as stated in verses 112-113: “And We gave him the good news of ISAAC, a prophet, a righteous one. And We blessed him (Abraham) and Isaac.”
Allāh blessing Abraham as Muhammad Ali explains: “Abraham and Isaac are spoken of distinctly to show that by blessing Abraham is here meant blessing his descendants through Ishmael.”
Muslims who say that the Qur’an is not clear about which son was the intended sacrifice are to study the Qur’an carefully.

Palestine is the moral, social, historical, and spiritual heritage of Palestinians and all Muslims:

   -Morally: Palestinians are the descendants of the natives.

   -Socially: a country is not dissected because one sector does not wish to live with the “other” (a country forced into dividing because two races militate against each other is not the same as Jewish intent to create a state based on perceived (baseless) gift from God, or because they desire their own state (the Sikhs and the Gypsies of Europe should petition the UN for their respective State in India and Europe, if only to test the integrity of the UN).  Those who do not wish to live with the “other” must leave.
   If 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 along sectist, racial, and theological lines, or for want of their own state many a country might now be standing in rumps.

-Historically: Palestinians history in Palestine predates that of Jews –Jewish sovereignty in Palestine was for a mere sixty years, two thousand years ago.

 -Spiritually: Palestine is the spiritual heritage of Palestinians and all Muslims as noted above by Professor ‘Abdul Ahad Dawud.
Contrary to Jewish grandstanding,
Palestine was consecrated in the hands of MUSLIMS! Had Muslims heed Allah and His noble Messenger, Palestine would not be under Jewish occupation. Palestine can yet be reclaimed, see Islam-sectism among Muslims.

As Prof. Dawud pointed out above, Jews “effaced” Ishmael’s  name from a number of verses and inserted Isaac’s name in its place to glorify the Jewish  branch of Abraham. Perhaps it is becasue of this adulterating of the Bible that the prophet Jeremiah said:  “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). 

If Jews wanted a home only they would have taken
the land Britain offered them in Uganda.
But Jews covet Palestinians’ heritage; just as
they covet Ishmael’s Divine “covenant” .
(See Palestine).

~~~Palestine~~~
Timeless!
Celestially Ours!
WE -MUSLIMS- BELONG!
Forever Justice! Forever Palestine!
Vive la Palestine libre!

Aazaad Philistine Zindaabaad!
Tahyaa Philistine al-hura!
Long live free Palestine!

Muslims who acquiesce to this foreign domination of Palestine is a traitor to Allāh and a traitor to His noble Messenger; a traitor to the Muslim community and traitor to himself/herself-(Qur’an 48:10; 2:190-191; 8:72-73; 60:9; 42:39-41). Such Muslims are to begin formulating their excuse for when they face Allāh on Judgment Day to answer for his/her betrayal. (See Palestine).

CHRISTIAN MANIPULATION OF MUSLIMS: One Christian quarter, using some Muslims uncertainty as to which son was the intended sacrifice, tried to manipulate Muslims into accepting Jesus as “blood sacrifice” for sins. The Christian notes John the Baptist (Yahya in the Qur’an) calling Jesus the “Lamb of God” who takes away the sin of the world, claiming that this was a reference to God’s provision for Abraham. 
   The Christian also notes the Book of Hebrews stating that “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin” (Hebrews 9:22). And he asks Muslims  to   “recognize that just as God ransomed Abraham and his son, God has also provided a ransom for us -a momentous sacrifice in Christ, for their Passover Lamb, who has been sacrificed for us (1 Corinthians 5:7). That Jesus is a lamb without blemish and capable of washing us white as snow (1Peter 1:19. Though Paul says Jesus was made lower than the angels and was also made a “curse”-Hebrews 2:9; Galatians 3:13. Clearly, one who is a “curse” cannot be said to be “without blemish and capable of washing us white as snow.” In fact, a “curse” one is a candidate for Hell. God made Jesus a “curse” just so He could forgive man for Adam’s sin? All the millions who died between Adam and Jesus died without being forgiven? Which end are Christians thinking with. Why did God not sacrifice Adam to begin with -God could have had the people from Nod “crucify” Adam).

–That John the Baptist referred to Jesus as the “Lamb of God” who takes away the sin of the world-(John 1:29). This is amusing! But in Matthew 11:2-3 he (the Baptist) sent his servants to ask Jesus: “Art thou he (the other prophet1) that should come, or do we look for another?”
   If John knew that Jesus was the “Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” how is it that John did not know if Jesus was the other prophet or not? (Notably, Jesus could not be God/son of God and also this other “prophet”).

Since John the Baptist, a prophet and the greatest man born,2 and who was with Jesus, is confused as to who Jesus was and his mission, is it any wonder that Christians, who are ordinary mortals and far removed from Jesus, are for two thousand years wandering in “darkness and misunderstanding” and confusion as to who Jesus is and his mission? (Details further on).

–That Hebrews 9:22 says, “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin”.
This is NOT the words of God or Jesus. This is the manufacture of Paul, the author of Hebrews. Paul was a self-admitted liar who forged his own Gospel and made himself into a human chameleon to sell his fake religion; Paul is the one who devised the doctrines of original/inherited sin and vicarious atonement. (See Allah and Jesus or Paul).

–That 1 Corinthians 5:7 says that God has also provided a ransom for us -a momentous sacrifice in Christ, for their Passover Lamb, who has been sacrificed for us.
Corinthians I (and II) is also the writing of Paul. As noted in Allah and Jesus or Paul, when Paul saw that the Jews would not accept Jesus he introduced the doctrine of  “son of God” to entice the pagans; pagans had a load of sons of god; accepting Jesus as another son of God was not difficult. That Jesus is NO “son of God” see 
Home. item #8).

–That 1 Peter 1:19 says that Jesus is a lamb without blemish and capable of washing us white as snow (1Peter 1:19).
Peter was a disciple/apostle of Jesus on whom Jesus promised to build his church-(Matthew 16:18). Yet a scant  five verses later Jesus labeled Peter a “satan”: But He (Jesus) turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men” -(Matthew 16:23).
As Jesus’s church is built by “satan”, any wonder for two thousand years Christians are wandering in darkness and misunderstanding as to who Jesus was and his mission?

●Whereas some Christians say that Jesus is  God some say he is only Son of God,  Whose belief is right?    

  ●Whereas some Christians say that there is Trinity some say Trinity as a “senseless God-dishonoring doctrine” that can come only from the mind of “Satan the Devil.” Who is right?

 ●Whereas some Christians say that Christ died for original/inherited sin some say he died for committed sin (arguing, rightly, that your father being a millionaire does not make you a millionaire). Whose belief is true?

 ●Whereas some Christians believe Jesus was killed, buried, and raised, “some of the early Christian sects did not believe that Christ was killed on the cross. The Basilidans believed that some one else was substituted for him. The Docetae held that Christ never had a real physical or natural body, but only an apparent or phantom body, and that his Crucifixion was only apparent, not real. The Marcionite Gospel (about A.D. 138) denied that Jesus was born, and merely said that he appeared in human form.”-(Yusuf Ali, Qur’anic comm, #663. And these Christians being closer in time to Jesus would know better than modern-day Christians).

  ●Whereas some Christians say Jesus was of “virgin” birth some say he was not. Ibn Warraq notes in his book Why I Am Not A Muslim: “Martin Luther (1483-1546), writing in the sixteenth century, conceded that “We Christians seem fools to the world for believing that Mary was the true mother of this child, and nevertheless a pure virgin. For this is not only against all reason, but also against the creation of God, who said to Adam and Eve, ‘Be fruitful and multiply.’”” p. 144. For a refutation of Ibn Warraq’s book see Why I am not a Muslim-Ibn Warraq.  Notably “virgin” birth is a forgery in the Bible; see Jesus birth in Bible & Qur’an).

Jesus takes away the sin of his people in that he calls them to repentance and forgiveness in which event their sins are forgiven (See Jesus-saves/savior).

Jesus clearly declared he was sent only to Jews; he prayed ONLY for them (Jews); he regarded non-Jews as “dogs” and “swine” and preached in parables to keep these “dogs” and ‘swine” out of heaven -(See Jesus-only for Jews). But Christians toss Jesus and his clear teachings onto the dung heap, and for two thousand years are suffering tremendous labor pains to give birth to their phantom three-headed Church-baked womb-god Jesus/trinity and hammering up all manner of inane contraptions to prop him up. (see  Home item #10).  

The Divine truth is, Jesus was a prophet sent to minister only to Jews and give them the Good Tidings/News of the coming of the Comforter who will guide them into “all truth” and will “abide for ever” “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”–(John 14:15-16; 16:13).

As the Comforter will give ‘all truth” and “abide for ever” the Bible, devoid of “all truth,” the Bible is obsolete; and as Jesus did not give “all truth” and will not “abide for ever” Jesus is redundant;  NO ONE NEEDS JESUS (though he, as all prophets of God, is to be honored with “peace and blessings of God” as Muslims honor him).
Jesus is no longer the only name, and way, life, truth and resurrection; THE COMFORTER MOHAMMAD IS NOW the only name, the way, the life, the truth, and the resurrection for all people.
And this Comforter as Prof. Abdul Ahad Dawud B.D. –“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.  

Jesus says you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free (from lies, falsehood, and blasphemy). And the Divine truth is, Jesus was a prophet of God and “THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLĀH; MOHAMMAD IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLĀH!”

Muslims are to seek knowledge, educate ourselves, and be vigilant not to be deceived by sneaky Christians.
   Sadly there are Muslims who have turned their backs on Allah to ape the Christians and kiss the useless and unGodly crucifix and drink the mythical blood of Jesus Christ and eat his body -SPIRITUAL CANNIBALISM!
   You “ex-Muslims” (as you like to proudly announce yourselves) 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. And you as the fuel!

                                            NOTES:
1. The Jews were expecting the second coming of Elias and another prophet to come–John 1:21. This other prophet is the one mentioned by Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19; this “prophet” is the Prophet Mohammad. See Judaism-no future.
2. Luke 7:28.
