Christians
were told in the Bible to be on-guard and that the Antichrist will not only
just be a man who appears shortly before the Lord Jesusreturns, but also a
movement (Islam) which denies that
Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God. Islam is adamant in
its denial of the deity of Jesus.
It is easy to overlook,
but followers of Islam place their eternal salvation entirely on the
whimsical sayings of only one single man - the imperfect and violent man
Muhammad.
Christianity
and Judaism is heavily corroborated by many different prophets and apostles
of God. Additionally, Christianity and Judaism abound with many, many
miracles, all witnessed by throngs of people. Physical evidence such as 5,300 original manuscripts confirming the New Testament (Injeel) are still
here to read.
The fact of the matter is; not one individual or document can corroborate Muhammad's
testimony.
As
prophecies go, Muhammad simply made none!
Muhammad made only 1 very vague utterance (guess) that wishfully might be considered a
prophecy. This was when he said that in a few years the Romans would
win a battle. No time or place was even given. As to any signs
that Muhammad was divinely inspired, Muhammad admitted twice he could do no
miracles.
An
Apostle of God must prove his mission by working miracles.
All God's prophets (Muhammad did not) did miracles to prove they were speaking for
God. God would have it no other way.
The life of Jesus on earth
abounded with astounding miracles. The Qur'an itself declares in Surah
5:110 that Jesus performed miracles. Forget what's in the made up
Hadiths; the
Qur'an itself admits twice that Muhammad said he could do no miracles (Suras
13:7 andSurah 17:90-94 ). Jesus makes it quite clear that
miracles are necessary to prove what one speaks is of divine origin.
Jesus said; "If
I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not
had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father."
(John 15:24). Jesus made the deaf hear, the lame
walk, the blind see, the dumb speak. He multiplied 5 loaves of bread to
feed 5000 people, and he cured lepers and many other diseased people, and
raised the dead with his word only. One woman was cured by just touching
Jesus' garment. Jesus walked on water, caste out demon spirits, raised
his own self from the dead, and finally rose to heaven in front of many
witnesses. The ability to confirm one's oral
proclamation with supernatural acts is what sets the genuine apart from the
counterfeit (The Quran Unveiled, page 216).
The so-called
"Prophet" of Islam lived an extremely sinful life of raping,
plundering and murdering for profit. His entire purpose for the Qur'an
(Koran) was simply to increase his personal self esteem, attain superior
status, and for maintaining discipline and cohesion within his robber
band. An Apostle of God must be a good and righteous man as
Jesus was and Muhammad was not.
Muhammad's inability to
perform even a single miracle to prove his connection with divinity forced
him to establish his own credibility in the Qur'an, by numerous threats to
obey him, and so-called revelations calling on Muslims to venerate him. 201
times in the Qur'an Muhammad had the need to make sure everyone knows that he
is "Allah's Messenger". Typical of Muhammad's threats in the
Qur'an is this in Surah 33:57: "Those who annoy Allah and His Apostle -
Allah has cursed them in this World and in the Hereafter, and has prepared
for them a humiliating Punishment."
Note: John
the Baptist's main role was not as a prophet, but as a forerunner.
Muhammad
had a diabolical aversion to the form of the
cross.
Symptomatic
of the state of Muhammad's soul during his lifetime is the strikingly similar
behavior regarding the cross that demons have demonstrated over and over.
According
to Al Waqidi, Muhammad would break
everything brought into the house with a shape of the cross on it.
Additionally, Ahmad ibn Hanbal
(A.D. 855) said that Muhammad
would foam at the mouth during prayer. Christians should immediately
remember the Apostle Mark's telling of Jesus casting a demon out of a boy who
was possessed. This demon-possessed boy also showed this symptom of
"foaming at the mouth".
More than
eight hundred million human beings confess Islam, the religion Muhammad
founded. There is no more militant movement on earth equal to Islam. No
religion teaches hatred more than Islam. Jesus said; "many false
prophets will rise up and deceive man." Islam has managed to turn
billions of people away from the true Word of God, and not merely by its
distraction of the truth. But also by its outright denial of the truth.

|
There
is never any hatred preached against Muslims or anyone when Christians and
Jews Worship God. This is not true in Islam. Is it?

Here is an interesting January 2007 article about a show on British
television where undercover "Muslims" were sent into mosques
during a 12 month period, and tape what was being said. Among other
things, it shows clerics at a number of leading British mosques exhorting
followers to prepare for jihad, to hit girls for not wearing the hijab, and
to follow Islamic law over UK law. Some are praising the Taliban. In response to the news that a
British Muslim solider was killed fighting the Taliban, the Muslim speaker
declares: “The hero of Islam is the one who separated his head from his
shoulders.” Another speaker says Muslims cannot accept the rule of
non-Muslims. “You cannot accept the rule of the kaffir,” Dr Ijaz Mian tells
a meeting held within the mosque. “We have to rule ourselves and we have to rule the others.” Read here

April 27, 2007
Prayer by Sheik Ahmad Bahr, acting Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative
Council, declared during a Friday sermon at a Sudan mosque that America and
Israel will be annihilated and called upon Allah to kill Jews and Americans
"to the very Last One".
"Oh
Allah, vanquish the Jews and their supporters. Oh Allah, count their
numbers, and kill them all, down to the very last one. Oh Allah, show them
a day of darkness. Oh Allah, who sent down His Book, the mover of the
clouds, who defeated the enemies of the Prophet defeat the Jews and the
Americans, and bring us victory over them."

Jesus Never Spoke of Another
true Prophet to Follow Him
Islam
vainly tries to gain legitimacy over other, older religions, by creating a
scene in which the former prophets agree to Mohammad's mastery.
The
Comforter
Muslims
often deliberately claim that Jesus spoke of Muhammad as that prophet who
would follow him, or that Muhammad was the "Comforter"Jesus
promised would come. The references
Muslims vainly cling to about this are mentions of a comforter to follow
Jesus in John chapters 14,
15, and 16. Both of these are
more Islamic lies. Jesus did warn us that false prophets (Muhammad) with
false Gospels (Qur'an) would follow Him, and try to deceive many.
The
Comforter Jesus spoke of was the Holy Spirit who filled
the Apostles while they gathered together on Pentecost. While gathered
together they all began speaking in foreign tongues. The Comforter/Holy
Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh also imparted the
ways of God on Mary,
the Apostles of
Jesus, and about 120 other Disciples that
day. Three thousand came into the Church that same day. Jesus'
followers then
immediately took
Him seriously and
they went out and began preaching the
Gospel. The Comforter was
NOT Muhammad. In John 14:26 the
comforter is specifically identified as the Holy Spirit whom the Father will
send in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no mention
of any Allah, Muhammad, or any prophet to follow Jesus in any Christian or
Jewish Holy Books.
Jesus told
us, there would only be one more revelation of truth that would come after
Him. John 14:17, 16:7 & 13 tell us that Jesus said a "Spirit of
Truth" (not a man - a Spirit), the Comforter would come after He Himself
departed. This Comforter was to guide us "into all truth". So there
would then be no truth remaining which would be sealed or hidden. Christians
know this "Comforter" as the third person of the triune God, or the
"Holy Spirit".
|
"But
the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my
name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you" (John 14:26).
The "Comforter"
refers to the Holy Spirit who descended on the Apostles of Jesus at
Pentecost, just as Jesus said.
|
|
This
is another attempt by Islam to gain some sort of credibility. Jesus foretold the coming of the
"Comforter", which is the Holy Spirit.
Jesus did not say the following:
`Jesus, the son of
Mary, said, O children of Israel, verily I am the Apostle of God sent unto
you confirming the law which was given before me, and bringing good tidings
of an Apostle who shall come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed.' (Surah 7:157)
|
|
Note the word Ahmed, of which the name Muhammad is compounded.
|
|
We at Bible Probe believe Muhammad is one
of those false prophets who would deceive many (billions of souls) that
Jesus warned us about.
|
|
Islam is a Non-Prophet System,
literally....
This following passage
from the Qur'an shows that Muhammad was one of the imposter's Jesus warned
about. In the passage below, Muhammad attempts to make himself equal
to the sinless Jesus who showed his divinity by many miracles.
Muhammad
himself admitted twice he could do no
miracles.
In fact nowhere
in the Qur'an does Muhammad perform even one miracle. So for Muslims to
claim he performed miracles when the Qur'an itself states he did
not is
simply lies.
There
are no recorded miracles of Muhammad in the Qur'an, but when Muhammad's followers saw
Muhammad's inferiority to Jesus they started making some up in the Hadith:
Muhammad cut the moon in half with a sword, a palm tree cried like a baby
because Muhammad wouldn't preach under it, Muhammad made water flow out of
his fingernails so that people could drink--the Hadith contradicts itself
on how many supposedly people drank it. These made up "miracles"
go on and on. Also, the
Hadith makes it clear that
Muhammad was a sinner--NOT sinless as some Muslims now claim:
"Muhammad replied..."O Allah, set me apart from my sins..." Volume 1, number 711
|
|
|
The
Hadith, Bukhari, Vol 2, No. 167 "The
sun eclipsed and the prophet jumped up terrified that it might be the
Hour (of Judgement)"
|
|
- Surah 17:90-94 of the Qur'an tells about how,
when Muhammad was challenged to perform a miracle and prove he was from
the true god, he could not perform any and here he actually says himself: "Am I anything but a man,- a messenger? ".
|
|
- In Surah 13:7, we find
that Muhammad did not perform any miracles. The people are saying that
even one sign would be enough to convince them, just one miracle
performed by Muhammad - and yet he still does none....
|
All along, the unbelievers asked Muhammad to perform a miracle so
that they could believe. All they got in response was,
- Surah 17:90
They say: "We will by no means believe in you until you cause a
fountain to gush forth from the earth for us.,"
And Muhammad would reply:
- Surah 17:93
Say: "Am I anything but a man,- a messenger?"
|
Muhammad did no
miracles. He did not heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, or
rule the wind and the waves. He had no more power than any normal man. The famous
Iranian scholar, Ali Dashti
comments:
Moslems, as
well as others, have disregarded the historical facts. They have
continually striven to turn this man [Mohammed] into an imaginary
superhuman being, a sort of God in human clothes, and have generally
ignored the ample evidence of his humanity. They have been ready… to
present these fantasies as miracles.
Reference:
Ali Dashti, "Twenty Three Years: A Study of the Prophetic Career of
Mohammad",

Muhammad
even disqualified himself as a true Prophet of God.
- Surah 29:27
states clearly that, as far as Allah and the Qur'an are concerned, the only
true prophets are those related to Isaac(Ishaq) or Jacob (Yaqoub); yet
Muhammad, according to Muslim tradition, is related to Ishmael and not Isaac or Jacob.
The real
God (Yahweh) chose to establish His covenant with Abraham and Sarah's son
Isaac, instead of with
Ishmael, the son of the slave girl Hagar. God informed Abraham a full year
before Isaac's birth that he would perpetuate His covenant through Isaac,
not Ishmael. This choice of Isaac by God is mentioned 5 times,
beginning in Genesis 17:18-21. Both God and Abraham cared for the
young Ishmael. But, God only promised to make the descendents of
Ishmael a great nation. Yet, who did this false Islamic god, Allah
adopt? Ishmael! In fact, an important Islamic holiday called
Id-al-Adha celebrates the bogus near sacrifice of Ishmael by Abraham in
Mecca. Even though there is nothing in scripture suggesting Abraham
ever set foot in Arabia.
Herein
lies another prophetic truth! God rejected Ishmael and Esau because
they were "wild donkeys" (Genesis 16:12) and men of the sword
(Genesis 27:40). God did promise, however, to make Ishmael a
great nation (Arabs). Who can deny that Islam, with its roots in
Arabia, has not always acted like psychotic "wild donkeys"
and "men of the sword"? I call to mind the rather recent
"Cartoon" row with worldwide demonstrations by Muslims. Nothing
of the sort occurred in Christendom after Dan Brown published his best
selling book of lies known as the "Da Vinci Code".
No prophet of God was
ever subject to epileptic fits & uncertainty- like Muhammad
was...
We
know from Islamic historians that Muhammad's many wives did believe he was
a a prophet of Allah, in part, because Muhammad would frequently go into
epileptic frenzies and foam at the mouth, while receiving his
"revelations". Also, unlike any of the true prophets
of Israel, Muhammad would go through prolonged periods of time when he
himself thought he was going mad, or that he was possessed by demons.
The Hebrew prophets never acted like this. The Hebrew prophets were
certain that God (Yahweh) was speaking to them.
What can be rationally thought of the nearly weekly suicide bombings
by Muslims, and the very real Muslim psychosis of thinking they will kill
every Jew, and then every Christian and Hindu and every other non-believer,
who doesn't convert to Islam? I advise Islam to read the real
"Book" that says in Jeremiah (Prophet Jeremiah) that "there
will be no more Jews on the face of the earth when the moon, the sun and
the stars no longer shine."
A
Prophet must make prophecies:
|
- In the Christian/Jewish Bible there are
literally hundreds of prophecies, all made in God's name. There are
over 300 foretelling the coming of Jesus --in detail. Yet in the
Qur'an there is but one prophecy, and
this is in Surah 30:1-4.
In this gem of a Surah
we are told that the Roman empire has been defeated but that, "in a
land close by" the Romans will be victorious again "in a few
years".
Think about this for
a minute! The "prophet" Muhammad
gave no signs, performed not one miracleand made but one, vague, uttering taken for a
"prophecy" that sometime in the next few
years the 7th century Romans who were still somewhat strong militarily would have a
victory. Earth shaking stuff, huh?

100%
Accuracy is Expected from the True God
The Koran is without a
doubt filled with many serious scientific, historical and theological
errors. The Islamic Koran (Qur'an), unlike
the Judeo-Christian Bible is written in a style that is deliberately
misleading. The only joy Muslims find in reading of the Qur'an is that
of its poetry and that they believe that it came from God. Nothing in
the Qur'an will either save you from your sins or point you to eternal life.
The Koran is written in
an esoteric, mysterious and vague style. Its rhythmic prose and
the jingling sounds of the words give great delight to Arab ears. It is also written in a incorrect,
arbitrary and haphazard order, as if the uninspired human - Muhammad
died before putting it together correctly. In addition to countless
repetitions and redundant exclamations, the Qur'an meanders from one idea to
another, without any real connection between them. It reads as if a lot
of uninspired, uneducated men were renting their rage on many
things. The only book I know of that exceeds the Koran in deliberate
tediousness, false claims, and incoherence is the Book of Mormon. It is quite obvious to any reader of
the Qur'an that Muhammad had not a clue of the role in God's plan for
salvation that the Jewish Messiah (Jesus) was to play.
The
Qur'an is one man's ticket from
mediocrity:
Once
begun, the Qur'an took on a "life" of its own, because Muhammad saw
how it magnified himself to a powerful position in front of his band of
murderous robber followers. The Qur'an is also one uneducated man's (Muhammad)
feeble attempt to piece together Christian and Jewish theology. Throwing
about pieces of his limited knowledge of what he learned about the Christian
and Jewish religions provided Muhammad a way to elevate himself further in
front of his listeners. Ample evidence suggests that before Muhammad
began raping, murdering and pillaging for profit, he was viewed as a lunatic,
especially by Jews, Christians, Medina and Mecca Arabs, and Hindus. The Jews professed
disgust at a prophet whose chief concern was his harem of many wives.
The majority of Jews, however, suffered Muhammad's wrath when they refused to
join his terrorist band of Muslims - mainly because the Jews could not
reconcile their fundamental belief which is backed up in Scripture.
That is, that God would never send a prophet who was a descendent of Ishmael
instead of one from the line of Isaac. God had already made His choice
to make a covenant with Isaac and his people.
During his early 13 years of preaching his message in Mecca, Muhammad was not
driven toward violence. He was also in fact tolerant and cooperative;
even in the face of boycotts by the Meccans against him and his new
converts. After Muhammad moved to Medina, however, Muhammad turned into
a violent, cruel, lustful and intolerant man, who personally led raids on
innocent caravans. Beginning in Medina, Muhammad spread Islam
militarily. Muhammad accompanied his terrorist army on 27 raids . Muhammad,
the warrior non-prophet who made no prophecies, fought himself in 9 of
these raids: Badr, al-Mustaliq, Hunayn, Uhud, al-Khandaq, Qurayza,
Khaybar, al-Ta'if, and the occupation.
Muhammad's early
attempts to unite with Christians and Jews were not successful
Because
Muhammad thought the "People of the Book" (Jews & Christians)
also claimed allegiance to this same God he invented,
Muhammad's early recitations about Christianity and Judaism in the Qur'an
were irenic (Tending to promote peace; conciliatory):
"O
believers, be you God's helpers, as Jesus, Mary's son, said to the Apostles.
'Who will be my helpers unto God?' The Apostles said, 'We will be helpers of
God' " (Surah 61:14).
When
Muhammad started preaching his new religion in Mecca he was conciliatory and
appeasing to Christians. He told them: "We believe in
What has been sent down to us and sent down to you, our God is the same as your God." Surah 29:46. And in Surah 2:62
it 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 shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear
for them, nor shall they grieve. "
Christians and Jews in
Muhammad's time treated Muhammad as a False Prophet:
Later, as
Christians and Jews treated this self proclaimed prophet with sustain,
recitations regarding the "People of the Book" (both Jews and
Christians) became more belligerent:
Compare
this with what happened later, in Medina, after Muhammad gained strength and
Christians refused to follow Muhammad's Allah. Allah then tells him to
"Fight those who believe not in God nor the last day...Nor
acknowledge the religion of truth (Islam), (even if they are) of the people
of the Book, until they pay Jizya (tribute tax) with willing submission, and
feel themselves subdued". Surah 9:29
"And
the Jews say: Uzair (possibly 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; may Allah destroy them; " (Surah 9:30); and
(The
difficulty with Surah 9:30
above is with Uzair/Ezra, is the fact that no
historical evidence can be adduced to prove that any Jewish sect, however
heterodox, ever subscribed to such a tenet. What grounds were there for the
accusation? It is probably a figment of
Mohammed's own imagination.)
"O
you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they
are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend,
then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust
people." (Surah 5:51).
Are the following words
what one might expect to hear from an all-knowing, benevolent deity? Or, are they the
words one might expect from an Arab terrorist who needs to discipline his
marauding troops today - and even in the 7th century (Muhammad)?
- Surah 5.38
"And (as for) the man who steals and the woman who steals, cut off their
hands as a punishment for what they have earned, an exemplary punishment from
Allah; and Allah is Mighty, Wise."
|
Who is it that uses Islam to populate
hell?
|
In his
book, "Islam and Terrorism", the former professor of Islamic history
at Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt (pen name: Mark A. Gabriel, PHD) says on
Page 5-6: "Even the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, practiced his faith in
many ways that contradicted the Quran. The Quran said that Muhammad was
sent to show the mercy of God to the world. But he became a military
dictator, attacking, killing and taking plunder to finance his empire.
How is that showing mercy? Mark further writes: Allah, the god revealed
in the Quran, is not a loving father. It says that he desires to lead
people astray (Surah 6:39, 126; 43:36-37). He does not help those who
are led astray by him (Surah 30:29) and desires to use them to populate hell
(Surah 32:13)". So, the Qur'an says that the god of Islam works
with Satan and demons to lead people astray.
Jesus is the "Good Shepherd", and the God of love - who does not
lead people astray.
|
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. For God sent
not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through
him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the
name of the only begotten Son of God. John
3:16-18

The
true Word of God needs to be infallible!
The Jewish
and Christian Bible has been scrutinized and acknowledged to be without error
by leading evangelical scholars over the centuries - as one would expect
an inspired book from God to be.
The Koran
was written 500 years after the Christian Bible was completed. If it
too is truly an inspired book from God, it too should measure up to be as
infallible as the Jewish and Christian Bible. If you expect the Koran
to be as internally consistent and as factually correct as the Jewish and
Christian Bible is - you are wrong. A few examples follow:
The
Islamic Qur'an was edited
Today the
Islamic Qur'an (Koran) is made up of 114 chapters called Suras and then
sub-divided into verses. In the days of Muhammad's wife A'isha, one chapter
of the Koran (the Sura) had about 200 verses. Shortly after her death, this
Surah had only 73 verses. Muslims say that 127 verses of the original
text were lost and never found. Also, After the sudden death of
Muhammad, Zaid-ibn-Thabith was ordered to compile and write down the Qur'an
(Mishkat'ul Masabih). It is attested that at least three revelations were
left out. One of these, according to Muhammad's wife, A'isha, with whom he
resided at this death, was kept under their bed at the time of Muhammad's
death, but was eaten by a domestic animal(a goat). When Uthman
compiled the Qur'an, the missing verses could not be found. One of them was
called the verse of Stoning, and is said to have contained the order to stone
a man or woman who had committed adultery....This verse is said to have been
part of the original Qur'an. Many early authorities say so, and what is very
significant is that the first Caliphs punished adulterers by stoning; this is
still the penalty prescribed in Muslim law-books, whereas the Qur'an (Surah 24:2) prescribed a
hundred stripes." ("Islam" by A. Guillaume, p. 191). References:Musnad
Ahmad bin Hanbal. vol. 6. page 269; Sunan Ibn Majah, page 626; Ibn Qutbah,
Tawil Mukhtalafi 'l-Hadith (Cairo: Maktaba al-Kulliyat al-Azhariyya. 1966)
page 310; As-Suyuti, ad-Durru 'l-Manthur, vol. 2. page 13:
Another
tradition states (Sahih Muslim, page 912, Mishkat II, page 534 and others):
"Umar
said: 'Verily Allah sent Muhammad with truth and revealed the Book to him.
Out of the verses, the Almighty Allah revealed. there was the verse of
stoning to death. The Messenger of Allah stoned to death (Sahih Muslim, page
920) and after him we also stoned to death: And in the BOOK OF GOD stoning to
death is a truth against one, who commits adultery. The verse was thus: 'The
old man and the old woman, if they have committed adultery, they stoned them
both assuredly.' "
This
passage too, is not in the Qur'an. See other corruptions of the Qur'an here.
|
Many Hadith, including
Sahih Bukhari give proof that Stoning was ordered and practiced by
Muhammed, for example:
Volume
2, Book 23, Number 413:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar :
The Jew brought to the Prophet a man and a woman from amongst them who have
committed (adultery) illegal sexual intercourse. He
ordered both of them to be stoned (to death), near the place
of offering the funeral prayers beside the mosque."
|
Ayatollah
Khomeini, an Iranian
"butcher" gives us a clear
insight into what awaits countries who fall to Islam's satanic grasp:
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini explains what happens when these murderous
mullah's take over:
According to Khomeini:
"Killing is a form of mercy because
it rectifies the person. Sometimes a person cannot be
reformed unless he is cut up and burned. You must kill, burn and lock up
those in opposition."

buried up to her waist in preparation for her stoning to death.

If you
have the stomach to watch, click here to see a video of Muslims actually
stoning 4 people to death.
|
|
Here is a
real example of what the Muslim
head "stoner" says to
begin the ghastly "festivities:
|
"We
have all gathered here to implement divine punishments. Oh, Almighty, we
plead with you to give victory to Islam and Muslims."
|
|
The Qur’an talks
only about scourging and exiling the adulterer, yet Muhammad himself
stoned some adulterers. Thus, stoning the married adulterer (male or
female) and not flogging them, has become Islamic law. The reason for
that is that Muhammad said and did so.
|
|
Under Iran's brutal Islamic Sharia Laws, women usually get stoned for
crimes against chastity. While men who even murder someone in a fit of
rage in these cases, usually get only a few years in jail.
|
Under
Iran's strict Sharia law, women sentenced to execution by stoning have
their hands bound behind their back. They are wrapped from head to toe
in sheets before being seated in a pit. The ditch is filled up to their
breasts with dirt, and the soil is packed tightly before people
assemble to execute the woman by pitching rocks at her head and upper
body.
|
Article
104 of the Iranian Penal Code states that the stones used for
execution should "not be large enough to kill the person by one
or two strikes, nor should they be so small that they could not be
defined as stones."
Ironically,
the court sentenced the woman's brother Abu Bakr Ghorbany and husband
Mohammad Daneshfar to only six years in jail for killing her lover.
According to Sharia law, murder carries a lesser penalty than
"crimes against chastity."

Benevolence and Forgiveness?
One time a woman was brought to Muhammad who had committed
adultery. They asked him, "What shall we do with her?
Muhammad said, "Go away. Bring her back after the baby is
born." So they brought her back after the baby was born, and
Muhammad said, "Let her go and nurse the child. Bring her back when
the child is two years old." So they brought her back, and
Muhammad said, "Take the baby from her and kill her." And
that is what they did. Reference:
"Islam and Terrorism", Page 203-204

Islam has always been
strong on "forced conversions", especially via terror and the
sword:
"When Muhammad and
his followers were about to attack Mecca to subjugate it to Islam, his
adherents arrested Abu Sufyan, one of Mecca's inhabitants. They brought
him to Muhammad. Muhammad told him: "Woe to you, O Abu Sufyan. Is it
not time for you to realize that there is no God but the only God?"
Abu Sufyan answered: "I do believe that." Muhammad then said to
him: "Woe to you, O Abu Sufyan. Is it not time for you to know that
I am the apostle of God?" Abu Sufyan answered: "By God, O
Muhammad, of this there is doubt in my soul." The 'Abbas who was
present with Muhammad told Abu Sufyan: "Woe to you! Accept Islam and
testify that Muhammad is the apostle of God before your neck is cut off
by the sword." Thus he professed the faith of Islam and became a
Muslim." (Ibn Hisham, "The Biography of Muhammad" (Part 4,
Page 11). This man, Abu Sufyan, was not a believer at first, but he
quickly "believed" after he was threatened by death.' Contrast this with Christianity,
which rejects the testimony of the mouth if it does not stem from faith
that is rooted in the heart first.

Contrast the above to what
Jesus said about
stoning and adultery:
According
to the Gospel of John, the Jewish Priests (Pharisees), in an attempt to
discredit Jesus, brought a woman charged with adultery before him. The
Pharisees reminded Jesus that adultery was punishable by stoning under
Law of Moses and challenged Jesus to judge the woman so that they might
then accuse him of disobeying the law. Jesus thought for a moment and
then replied, “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the
first stone at her.” The people crowded around him were so touched by
their own consciences that they departed. When Jesus found himself alone
with the woman, he asked her who were her accusers. She replied, “No man,
lord.” Jesus then said, “Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.”
The hypocrites who had been blinded to their own sin were judged
first. It
was their own consciences that caused them
to depart from Jesus’ company! The accused remained in Jesus’
company and
no doubt was sorry for her sin. She received forgiveness of her
sins from
Jesus who has the power to do this! The others wandered away
in shame.

The Stoning of Soraya M. by Freidoune Sahebjam
When
a woman is accused by her husband - rightly or wrongly - of infidelity,
she is no longer considered human. This is the true story of an innocent
woman stoned to death in modern Iran. Soraya M.'s husband Ghorban-Ali,
was a shiftless, ambitious man, prone to rages and dreams of wealth. He
wanted to get out of his marriage. When Soraya began cooking for the
widowed husband of a friend, he found his excuse. Abetted by village
authorities and aided by Islamic law, he accused his wife of adultery.
Soraya M. - rendered mute by the injustice of the accusations,
exhausted by her husband's constant abuse and her grinding daily
routine - said nothing in her defense, and her silence was taken as
guilt. Perhaps, too, she knew that her protests would not be heard. She
was taken away, buried up to her shoulders and neck in the ground, and
then stoned to death. Day by day, hour by hour, the author re-creates
Soraya's unbearable ordeal, providing the reader with an eyewitness
account of a terrible miscarriage of justice, so typical within Islam.

This
shows how Muhammad made it up as he went along:
"The
canonical traditionists report that Surah 4:95 was dictated by Muhammad to
his amanuensis Zayd (Zaid) thus: 'Those
believers who sit at home are not equal to those who fight in the way of God
with their goods and their persons.' A blind man was present and heard
the words. He immediately interjected that were he as other men he would
certainly fight; whereupon Muhammad interposed the words 'except those
who suffer from a grave impediment' which stand in the text today."
("Islam" by A. Guillaume, p.191).
Before an
authorized version of the Qur'an (Koran) was established under the Caliph
Uthman there were four rival editions in use. These have long since
disappeared, but we are told that they differed from the authorized version,
some containing more and some less than the latter.
When men
who had learned one version came into conflict with those who possessed a
rival version it was feared that scriptural exegesis (i.e. critical
explanation or analysis) would pursue the
course it had taken among Jews and Christians who at that time accused one
another of corrupting and falsifying the sacred text. Uthman then entrusted a
commission, in which Zayd took a prominent place, with the task of preparing
a text which everyone must accept. Only the men of Kufa refused the new
edition, and their version was certainly extant as late as A.D. 1000.
Uthman's edition to this day remains the authoritative word of their God to
Muslims. The Uthman collection tradition poses a difficult question:
which Qur'an tradition is the more authentic, 1. the Hijazi tradition
represented in the universally acknowledged text; 2. the Kufan tradition
claiming descent from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud; 3. the Basran stemming from Abu
Musa; or 4. the Syrian from Ubayy ibn Ka'b one of the scribes of Muhammad (or
from Miqdad/? Mu'ad)?
Differing
readings of the Qur'an were known to Muhammad and he lacked the pedantry to
object. More fickleness -- more making it up as he went along.
"Ubayy
entered the mosque and, hearing a man recite, asked him who had instructed
him. The man replied that he had been taught by the Prophet. Ubayy went in
search of the Prophet. When the man recited. Muhammad said, 'That is
correct.' Ubayy protested, 'But you taught me to recite so-and-so,' The
Prophet said that Ubayy was right too. 'Right? right?' burst out Ubayy in
perplexity. The Prophet struck him on the chest and prayed, 'O God! cause
doubt to depart.' Ubayy broke into a sweat as his heart filled with terror.
Muhammad disclosed that two angels had come to him. One said, 'Recite the
Qur'an in one form.' The other advised Muhammad to ask for more than this.
That was repeated several times until finally the first angel said. 'Very
well. Recite it in seven forms.' The Prophet said, 'Each of the forms is
grace-giving, protecting, so long as you don't terminate a punishment verse
with an expression of mercy, or vice-versa - as you might for example say,
Let's go; or, let's be off.' " (Tafsir of Tabari.).
"A
man complained to the Prophet, Abdullah taught me to recite a Surah of the
Qur'an. Zaid taught me the same Surah and so too did Ubayy. The readings of
all three differ. Whose reading ought I to adopt?' Muhammad remained silent.
Ali who was at his side replied, 'Every man should recite as he was taught.
Each of the readings is acceptable, valid.' " (Tafsir of Tabari).
"Umar
said, I heard Hisam b. Hukaim reciting Surat al Furqan and listened to his
recital. On observing that he was reading many forms which the Prophet had
not taught me, I all but rushed upon him as he prayed. But I waited patiently
as he continued, and, collaring him when he had finished, I asked him, 'Who
taught you to recite this Sura?' He claimed that the Prophet had taught him.
I said, 'By God! you're lying!' I dragged him to the Prophet telling him that
I had heard Hisam recite many forms he had not taught me. The Prophet said,
'Let him go. Recite, Hisam.' He recited the reading I had already heard from
him. The Prophet said, 'That is how it was revealed.' He then said, 'Recite,
Umar', and I recited what he had taught me. He said, 'That's right. That is
how it was revealed. This Qur'an was revealed in seven forms, so recite what
is easiest.' "(Tafsir of Tabari). (See also Mishkat vol.III pp.
702-705). Also, Al Baizawi (in his commentary on Suras 3:100, 6:91, 19:35,
28:48, 33:6, 34:18, 38:22, etc.) suggests variations extant in his time.
(Mizanu'l Haqq, page 261).
Scientific
blunders in the Qur'an (Koran):
The Qur'an claims to be
free from internal discrepancies. "Will they not then
ponder on the Qur'an? If it had been from other than Allah they would have
found therein much incongruity." (Noble Qur'an Surah 4:82)
Surely, nothing less than perfect is expected from God. But, let's go
on a journey through the Qur'an and peek at the evidence against this claim.
Islamic
scholars in Egypt and Saudi Arabia agree with Muhammad, that lightning and
thunder are two angels. Muhammad, the
prophet of Muslims, claims that the thunder and the lightning are two of
God’s angels—exactly like Gabriel! Baydawi comments on
verse 13 of the chapter of the
Thunder in the Qur'an:
"Ibn
Abbas asked the apostle of God about the thunder. He told him, ‘It is an
angel who is in charge of the cloud, who (carries) with him swindles of fire
by which he drives the clouds."’
The
Qur'an teaches that the world is flat. This doctrine is believed by a great many Islamic scholars
even today. The Jewish/Christian Bible revealed that the earth is round
in Isaiah 40:22 and via Job (26:7). Speaking of
God in Isaiah 40:22, the Jewish/Christian Bible says; "It is He who sits
above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who
stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to
dwell in. Funny isn't it, that the Bible said the earth was a
"circle", even when everyone believed the earth was flat".
Job 26:7 says, "He stretches
out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing".
- In many places, the Qur'an alludes to the fact
that the earth is flat and its mountains are like poles which create a
balance so that the Earth does not tilt. See Qur'an, Suras 79:30 (And the
Earth after that He(Allah) FLATTENED it.; and 18:47 (and you will
see the earth a leveled plain).
|
Qur'an Surah 79:30 says:
Wa Al-Arda bada Zalika
DaHaaHaa, which means:
And the Earth after that He
(Allah) FLATTENED it.
|
With
regards to Surah 79:30, " Dahaahaa " does NOT mean " shape
like an egg ". It is appalling that some dishonest Muslim apologists
actually have the audacity to dishonestly cheat non-Arabic speakers to such
an extent. So if concisely translated, Surah 79:30 should read as
“And the Earth after that He (Allah) Spread out like a carpet and Flattened
it.”
The Arabic word for egg is " Baidah " and NOT " Dahiyah "
. There is NO such Arabic word as " Dahiyah ". "
"Dahaahaa " actually means " FLATTEN ". And the concise
meaning of “Dahaahaa” is “Spread out like a carpet and Flattened”.
This points to a clear scientific error in the Quran. The word “Dahiyah” is a
word that comes from one of the NON-Arab tribes of North Africa. It is
definitely NOT an Arabic word and NOT a word that comes from the Arabian
Peninsula or Muhammad’s tribe.
Surah 10:5
says
Huwa Al-Ladhī Ja`ala Ash-Shamsa Điyā'an Wa Al-Qamara NURon Wa Qaddarahu
Manāzila Lita`lamū `Adada As-Sinīna Wa Al-Ĥisāba Mā Khalaqa Allāhu Dhālika 'Illā
Bil-Ĥaqqi Yufaşşilu Al-'Āyāti Liqawmin Ya`lamūna which means "It is He
Who made the sun to be a shining brightness and THE MOON TO BE A LIGHT, and
measured out stages for her; that you might know the number of years and the
count (of time). Nowise did Allah create this but in truth. (Thus) doth He
explain His Signs in detail, for those who understand."
The Arabic word “Qamara” means “Moon” and “NUR” means “LIGHT”. “Al-Qamara”
means “The Moon”. Surah 10:5 CLEARLY says ALLAH MADE THE MOON A LIGHT.
The word “NUR” means “Light” and it does NOT AT ALL mean “reflected light”.
Anyone who knows Arabic knows that. If it does, then in the Arabic text of
Surah 24:35, Allah is himself a reflected light ! Is any muslim apologist
willing to accept such an insult, degradation and blasphemy to Allah ?? Also,
if as according to the LIES of muslim apologists, “NUR” means “reflected
light” which it does NOT, then in the Arabic text, Surahs 2:257, 4:174, 5:16,
5:46, 6:1, 6:122, 7:157, 9:32, 33:43, 33:46, 35:25, 42:52, 57:9, 61:8, 64:8
make absolutely no sense at all and make the already absurd Qur'an even more
absurd, ridiculous and erroneous.
Surah 10:5 is a clear scientific MISTAKE in the light of modern science. The
moon is NOT a light and does NOT give out its own light ! The moon reflects
light from the sun. Of course, the Qur'an does not mention this at all
because Muhammad did not know this.

- The Qur'an teaches that the sun sets
into a Muddy Spring on earth. According to Surah 18:86, the sun
literally sets into a muddy spring or a black sea here on Earth, and Surah 18:90
mentions a specific place on Earth where the sun rises. Many Muslims try and say about this
absurdity "oh this is poetic". Nice try, it cannot be dismissed as
figurative language or poetic, because it is given as part of anhistorical narrative.
The Qur’an says that one of
the righteous men of God’s servants saw the sun set in a certain place of the
earth—in particular a well full of water and mud. There, this man found some
people. Let us read what is recorded in the Qur’an (chapter "the
Cave", Surah
18 verse 86)."Until when he
reached the place where the sun set, he found it going down into a black sea,
and found by it a people. We said: O Zulqarnain! either give them a
chastisement or do them a benefit. ".
Zamakhshari remarks in his book, "the Kash-shaf",
"Abu
Dharr (one of Muhammad’s close companions) was with Muhammad during the
sunset. Muhammad asked him: ‘Do you know, O Abu Dharr where this sets?’ He answered:
‘God and His apostle know better.’ Muhammad said: ‘It sets in a spring of
slimy water"’ (3rd Edition, Volume 2 p. 743,1987).
|
In his
book, "The Lights of Revelation" (p. 399), the Baydawi indicates, "The sun sets in a slimy
spring; that is, a well which contains mud.

Why were stars
created? In Surah 67:5 we read that the stars
were created to be thrown at devils (Shaitans).
The real "Book" is factual...The Bible is an anvil on which many
hammers have been broken. However, its enemies never tire of attempting to
make some impression on it.
The Jewish-Christian Bible
is a journal-like record of creation, including of the earths initial
conditions. It is obvious that only the Bible is both supernaturally
accurate and inspired. The Bible correctly describes creation from the
standpoint of astrophysics and geophysics. It also summarizes the
sequence of changes through which the Earth came to be inhabited by fallen
angels, living things (dinosaurs and the like), and ultimately by humans. The
Bibles' order and its description of creation perfectly matches established
records of nature. God's direction to Joshua and Israel to wipe out
tribes already present in Israel was due to God's great love for
humanity. Fallen angels had mixed with women and created a perverted
race, many of whom were giants. God simply desired that this
mixed half human/half fallen angel gene pool be weeded out from the human
genes.
God
walks in many dimensions:
Hebrews
11:3 speaks of a transcendent creation (from beyond our known dimension) when
it states that the universe that we humans can measure and detect was made
from that which we cannot measure or detect. At least 12 verses in the
Bible makes a claim that the universe is being "stretched out", or
expanding - which one would expect were there a "Big Bang"
creation. Job 9:8, Isaiah 44:24 and 45:12 repeatedly say that it is God
alone who is responsible for this cosmic "stretching". The
Bible also holds the formula for "Pi", and more. See here.
If the
Qur'an is a true miracle of God - why is it so muddled with historical,
scientific and other errors, including simple math? Wouldn't we expect
an all-knowing Allah to be better student of history, science and math? If there is but one
error in the Qur'an, how can it be inspired by God?
Muhammad had obviously
heard some Bible stories, but he seems to have got them confused and mixed up
when it came out in his prophetic utterances. It is quite apparent that
the Qur'an is simply the product of hearsay and imperfect editing from a
plurality of traditions then known to Muhammad.
When Muhammad was growing up, there existed two heretic branches of Christianity
in Arabia which many arabs embraced. These were the Ebionite and
Nestorian branches. Muhammad's first wife's (Khadija) cousin, Waraga
bin Neufel was a pastor of the Ebionite Church in Mecca. Both of these
branches falsely taught that Jesus Christ was not divine. This heretic
pastor actually performed the marriage of Muhammad to Khadija. Also,
many reports indicate only the Gospel of Matthew was translated into Arabic
during this time. This information is given to show you where the human
Muhammad got his false teachings about Jesus, the Trinity, and Christianity.
The
stories in the Qur'an relating to events described in the Bible contradict
the Bible in many points. It is quite apparent that Muhammad took
much of what he taught from the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Psalms.
Muhammad shows no knowledge of their prophetic or historical writings,
however.
The
formula "There is no God but the One" is an often recurring refrain
in Samaritan liturgies. The similarity of the Muslim proclamation
"There is no God but Allah" is very interesting. Also of note
the opening chapter of the Qur'an is known as the Fatiha (meaning
opening, or gate). The Samaritan's also have a prayer which is also
considered a succinct confession of faith that begins with the words:
"Amadti kamekha al fatah rahmekha". This means "I stand
before thee at the gate of thy mercy". The Samaritan word for the
opening or gate is "fatah".
In Surah
18:10-27 we see that Muhammad regurgitated the early Christian Rip Van
Winkle-like myth/legend historians know as the "Seven Sleepers of
Ephesus" from around the 250's AD. This is a legend about 7 noble
Christian youths who took refuse in a cave while fleeing persecution during
the rein of the Roman Emperor Decius. Their lives were miraculously
saved because they fell into a deep sleep for almost 200 years. Typical
of Muhammad's inattention to any literary or historical detail, Muhammad's
Surah has them sleeping for 300-309 years.
Surah 18:25 - So they stayed in their Cave three hundred years, and (some)
add nine (more).
Behold,
the youths betook themselves to the Cave: they said, "Our Lord! bestow
on us Mercy from Thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right
way!" Then We draw (a veil) over their
ears, for a number of years, in the Cave, (so that they heard not):... Surah
18:10-11
Historical
errors in the Qur'an:
You can verify these here at this online Qur'an.
The Historical,
Scientific, simple mathematics and theological contradictions in the Qur'an
are too numerous to list. Remember, since Muhammad already proclaimed
the Jewish Torah/ Christian Old Testament (Taurat) as correct in Qur'an Suras 2:87, 3:48, 3:50, 5:44, 5:46; 5.68, 6:154, 6:155, 29:46, 32:23, 43:63, 46:12, then the following gross
errors that differ with the Torah and Christian Gospels are inexcusable.
These errors their selves scream out the Qur'an itself is entirely
false.
We have noted newer English
translations of the Qur'an popping up on the internet which are deceitfully
attempting to cover up many of the errors cited below. Double check with your
older Qur'ans--you'll see. The world is aware that the Qur'an is made
up of 114 chapters (suras), made up of 30
parts, 6,616 verses (ayas), 77,943 words, and 338,606 letters. So
consider this as you try and fine tune it to rid it of errors.
In Suras 2:87, 3:50, 5:44, 5:46 and 29:46 we are told that
Muhammad is given the Qur'an as a confirmation of the Jewish/Christian
Bible; that is - it is meant to prove the bible's authenticity.... In Surah
46:12 we are told.... "And before it the Book of Musa (Moses) was a guide and a mercy: and this is
a Book verifying (it) in the Arabic language......"
Yet the historical,
scientific, and simple math errors in the
Qur'an that differ from
the Jewish/Christian Bibles it already confirmed are utterly
careless, foolish and devoid of any touch of divinity, as you will see.
Also, disturbing about the Qur'an is that it makes no attempt at linear
history. The Qur'an appears thrown together half hazardly with nological
sequence, except only the largest Sura's are in the beginning. Whereas
the Jewish Pentateuch (1st 5 books of Jewish Bible) is a continuous narrative
from the beginning of the world until the Hebrews enter the Promised Land.
Never
fully trust any one English or other non-Arabic translation of the Qur'an.
Muslim apologists are fond of taking advantage of non-Arabs’ ignorance of the
Arabic language to fool people. In the Arabic text, many verses of the Quran
are very harsh, very illogical, very bloodthirsty and very scientifically
erroneous. Therefore, trust the translations that are more harsh, more
illogical, more bloodthirsty and more scientifically erroneous; because these
are the more honest translations. Something Muslims will not tell you is that
the Arabic language is not all that "pure". Syriac words
occur in the Qur'an, like masih (Messiah) in Surah
3:45, furgan (salvation) in
Surah 2:50, and istabrag (silk brocade) in Surah
76:21 (1988, Shorrosh, page 199)
Muhammad
probably never knew the true name of God:
In the Torah/Old Testament, which the Qur'an claims above to support - God
gives us another condition a true prophet must meet. A true prophet
must prophesy in the name of the one true God. He must use Gods unique
name. Gods unique name in
the bible is YHWH(pronounced
Yaweh) and is mentioned 6,823 times in the Bible.
Muhammad never used Gods real name even once,
suggesting he never knew it. Muhammad also seems
to have not known He also told the Hebrews to call Him "I Am".
Here
are just a few notable errors in
the Qur'an:
- In Surah 2:249 Muhammad confuses
the persons of Saul (Talut) and Gideon. See: Judges 7:4-7
- In Surah 26:54 the Israelites were
said to be "a scanty band" (small band); vastly inferior to
the Egyptians. But in Exodus 1:7-10 the Egyptian king said to his people that
the Israelites had become "more and mightier than we". Exodus 1:9 speaks of the
Hebrews as multitudes.
- The Koran confused
the sister of Moses by implication (Miriam) with Mary,
the mother of Jesus 3 times. And
Muhammad seemed to think that Jesus was Moses' nephew, the son of Moses'
sister Mariam. Mary, the
mother of Jesus, and Miriam the sister of Moses actually lived about 1500 years
apart. The entire Chapter
19 is devoted to Mary (Maryam) the mother of Jesus in the Qur'an. Surah
19:28, "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy
mother a woman unchaste!" Surah 66.12 calls Mary 'daughter of
lmran". lmran is the Arabic form of the Hebrew Amram mentioned in
Numbers 26.59 as the father of "Aaron, Moses and Miriam." The
title "sister of Aaron" is given to Miriam in Exodus 15.20.
Surah 3.35-36, The wife of Amram said, "My Lord, I have dedicated (the
baby) in my belly to You, totally, so accept from me. You are Hearer,
Omniscient."
- How many angels
were talking to Mary? When the Qur'an speaks about the annunciation of the
birth of Jesus to the virgin Mary, Surah 3:42,45 speaks about angels (plural) while it is only one in Surah
19:17-21. The Christian Bible clearly indicated one angel; "In the
sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called
Nazareth," Luke 1:26
- Jesus taught people
even in his "old age". (Surah 5:110). Actually Jesus ascended into
Heaven while in His mid 30's.
- Do you remember the
evil Persian Haman who conspired to
kill all the Jews during the time of Esther in the Babylonian captivity (about 500 BC).
In the Koran, Muhammad incorrectly taught that this wicked man Haman
was the prime minister of the Egyptian Pharaoh (Firon) in Moses'
time (1450 BC). See Suras 28:4-6,
28:38-39, 29:39, 40:23-24,and 40:36-37. Throughout the
Qur'an--Nimrod and Abraham, Haman and Moses, Mary and Aaron, the tower of
Babel (2500 BC) and Pharaoh were
all pictured as living and working together. Moses and the flood are also
incorrectly found together. Muhammad thought these all happened at the
same time. Muhammad was always
mixing people together in the Qur'an who did not live at the same time. See Suras 21:51-76; and 29:15-16. See
this historical fumbling below...
|
Muhammad
additionally confuses the Tower of Babel in this rant, found in Suras
28:38-39 and 40:36-37:
|
And Pharaoh said: O Chiefs! I know not
what ye have a god other than me, so kindle for me (a fire), O Haman, to
bake the mud; and set up for me a lofty tower in order that I may survey
the god of Moses; and lo! I deem him of the liars. And he and his
hosts were haughty in the land without right, and deemed that they would never
be brought back to Us (Surah 28:38-39)
And
Pharaoh said: O Haman! Build me a tower that haply I may reach the roads,
the roads of the heavens, and may look upon the God of Moses, though
verily I think him a liar. Thus was the evil that he did made fair
- seeming unto Pharaoh, and he was debarred from the (right) way.
The plot of Pharaoh ended but in ruin (Surah 40:36-37)

- What about Noah's (Nuh) son? According to
Surah 21:76, Noah and his family is saved from the flood, and Suras 29:15 and 37:76-77 confirms
that his seed survived. But Surah 11:42-43 reports that Noah's son drowns.
- Surah 7:59 and 7:136 say Noah's flood
took place in Moses' day. Did anyone tell Moses that?
- Surah 14:37, says
Abraham lived in the valley of Mecca (Muslim Sacred House). The
Bible says he lived in Hebron, Israel. (Genesis 13:18, 23:2, 35:27)
-Surah
2:61 In this beauty,
Moses is being told about the prophets who were killed in Moses' day.
Yet there were no prophets killed during Moses' time. Moses was the
first prophet.
(Noble Qur'an)
PICKTHAL: And when ye said: O Moses! We are weary of one
kind of food; so call upon thy Lord for us that He bring forth for us of that
which the earth groweth - of its herbs and its cucumbers and its corn and its
lentils and its onions. He said: Would ye exchange that which is higher for
that which is lower? Go down to settled country, thus ye shall get that which
ye demand. And humiliation and wretchedness were stamped upon them and they
were visited with wrath from Allah. That was because they disbelieved in
Allah's revelations and slew the
prophets wrongfully.
That was for their disobedience and transgression.
- Surah 9:30 mistakenly claims that the Jews
believed that Ezra was the Son of God, the Messiah, just as Christians claim
for Jesus. No Jews have ever
believed this.
- Surah 6:74, says
Abraham father's name was Azar. The Bible says it was Terah (Genesis 11:27).
How can Muhammad claim he verified the Torah which came first as true, yet
differ with the facts in the Torah?
- Surah
9:10 says Zakarias was mute for only 3 days. The Bible says
Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, was made mute because of his unbelief
concerning Gabriel's prophecy of John's birth. He would remain mute until the
baby was born (Luke 1:20), which is roughly nine months.
- Islam
says it was Ishmael that
was nearly sacrificed on the mountain rather than Isaac as both the Torah
and Christian Gospels say. Islam says that Hagar was the
legitimate wife (and not a
concubine) of Abraham, rather than Sarah; so Ishmael was the
heir of Abraham. But wait!
Muhammad had already attested to the Bible and Torah as being correct. Then
why these huge errors? Of note: After Muhammad's
death, the Meccans (Waraquah) changed the name Isaac in Suras 2:125 and 127 for
the name Ishmael and invented the story about Abraham taking Ishmael to their
black rock in Mecca, so that pilgrims would continue to visit Mecca.
- Surah 5:72, The Quran falsely teaches that Jesus is not the
Messiah. The Holy Injeel says He is.
Muhammad
never understood the Trinity (Father / Son / Holy Spirit):
Surah 116, 4:171, 5:73-75, Muhammad mistakenly
thought the Christian Trinity was 3 gods: the Father, the Mother (Mary), and
the Son (Jesus). This is based on Muhammad's
own misunderstanding seen in Surah 5:119. Also, in the last of all Suras we
read: O Jesus, Son
of Mary, hast thou said unto mankind 'Take me and my mother as two Gods beside
God? ' He shall say: 'Glory be unto Thee! it is not for me to say that which
I know to be not the truth.' There is no way for
Muslims today to escape the fact that the Koran indeed contains this major theological
blunder. The Bible, shows
that there is a Trinity (Matthew 28:19, 1 John 5:7).
To make
things far worse for Islam. In the Qur'an where
Allah speaks, he says "We",
"Us", Our" over 100 times!... Showing again and
again that God is not a single person, but several persons in one divine
being:
To get a
clearer idea of the Christian Concept of the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy
Spirit) read this real Near Death Experience Testimony here andhere. It shows
that Jesus' light is one and the same as the Father's. And that only
Jesus is our mediator with the Father. All (Christians, Jews, Muslims,
Hindu, etc) have sinned. So all require a mediator.
- Suras 7:8–9 and 21:47 teach Muslims that
salvation is determined by good Works. Masons also teach this
erroneous and very harmful theology. The Gospel of Jesus is adamant
that we are saved by Faith alone, and not by works (Ephesians
2:8–9). Granted, the Bible says we must do a few things to obtain salvation,
like repent (Acts 2:38), confess Jesus (Romans 10:10), and be baptized (Acts
2:38), but it is our continuing faith in Jesus as our only mediator that saves us. That
is not to say we need not have works at all—we must have works to back up our
faith (James 2:26). Nevertheless, we are not saved by our works, but by our
faith and the grace of
the Lord Jesus.
- Surah 28:8-9, says
is was Pharaoh's wife who adopted Moses. The Bible says it was Pharaoh's
daughter in Exodus 2:5-10.
- Paradise has one
garden. (Surah 39:73, 41:30, 57:21, 79:41). Paradise has many gardens. (Surah
18:31, 22:23, 35:33, 78:32).
- Even the
name for Jesus in the Qur'an is incorrect. The name for Jesus
in the Qur'an is given as "Issa." Issa is the Arabic equivalent of
Esau, the name for the twin brother of Jacob. The correct Arabic name for
Jesus would be Yeshua or Yeshuwa.
-The names
"Jesus and John" were among the most common names in Israel at the
time of Jesus the Messiah. The name John was quite common in ancient
Israel. Yet speaking of John the Baptist, a contemporary of Jesus, the
Qur'an says in Surah 19:7 that the name John (Yahya) was not previously
given. But In the biblical book of Ezra dating from a far earlier time
than John the Baptist, we read; "And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan
(John) the son of Hakkatan". The name John is also mentioned
earlier than John the Baptist in: 2 Kings 25:23, and Jeremiah 40:8.
- Surah 20:83–89 tells us that a
Samaritan (Samiri) made the golden
calf for Israel while Moses was receiving the law. There are two problems
with this: One, the Bible says it was Aaron (Exodus 32:1–4), and two, Samaritans didn't exist yet until after 870 BC (1 Kings 16:24). Samaria was
founded by King Omri in about 870 B.C. (see 1 Kings 16:24). But "the
Samaritans" as a distinct people only emerged after the exile of the
Northern kingdom of Israel and the resettlement of the area under king Sargon
II in after 722 B.C. The Exodus happened
much earlier in about 1300-1400 BC.
- Pharaoh drowned.
(Surah 17:103, 28:40, 43:55-56). Pharaoh did not drown. (Surah
10:91-93).
(Noble Qur'an, Surah 17:103) speaking of Pharaoh Pickthal says; "And he
wished to scare them from the land, but We
drowned him and those with him, all together".
(Noble Qur'an, Surah 10:92) speaking of Pharaoh Pickthal says; "But this
day We
save thee in thy body that thou mayst be
a portent for those after thee. Lo! most of mankind are heedless of Our
portents."
- Muhammad made up
historical references for the Kabah (Kaba/Ka'bah). The Qur'an says the
Kabah in Mecca was built by Adam and rebuilt
by Abraham. Actually it was was built by pagan Meccans to worship a black
rock that fell out of the sky. Abraham never lived in Mecca according to the
Torah. The late
Taha Hussein, one of the most famous Egyptian professors of Arabic literature
said that the Islamic myth of Abraham building the Kaba came into vogue just
before the rise of Islam. He comments:
"The case of this episode is very obvious because it is of recent date,
and came into vogue just before the rise of Islam. Islam exploited it for
religious reasons". Quoted in 'Mizar al-Islam' by Anwar al-Jundi.
Here are two "beauties":
- Surah 18:85,86,
says that Alexander the Great (Zul-qarinain) followed the setting sun and
found that it went down into the waters of a muddy spring. Surah
18:89-98 says the Greek Alexander the Great
was a Muslim and worshipped Allah. Actually, Alexander the Great died
very young and was by no means a Muslim. Alexander the Great lived from
356 - 323 B.C. (Before Jesus). He was 33 years old when he died.
Muhammad and Islam did not come along till 610 A.D. (after Jesus), when
Muhammad began preaching Allah and his new religion in Mecca. This was
over 900 years after Alexander the Great died. Yusuf Ali and the Concise
Dictionary of Islam confirm that Zul-qarinain in the Quran is Alexander the
Great.
The Qur'an
also incorrectly says in Surah 105:3-4
that Abrah's army was
defeated by birds dropping stones on them. History (Guillame, Islam,
pgs.21ff) says Abrah's army
withdrew after smallpox broke out.
Other
notable errors in the Qur'an:
Flip
Flops: The origin of
calamity?
Is the evil in our life from Satan [Surah 38:41]; Ourselves [Surah 4:79]; or Allah [Surah 4:78]? Can slander of
chaste women be forgiven? Yes [Surah 24:5], No [Surah 24:23].
Abrogation? "The words of
the Lord are perfect in truth and justice; there is NONE who can change His
words" (Surah 6:115). Also see Suras6:34, 10:64, and
50:28,29. But then Allah (or Muhammad?) sees the
need to exchange some of them for "better ones" (Suras 2:106, 16:101). And
it is not for ignorant people to question Allah because of such practices! Let us
Reason. How can a divine
revelation be improved upon? If divine, would it
not have been perfect from the start?
Suras 6:34, 6:115, 10:64 and 50:28,29
clearly says to Muslims, "No change can
there be in the words of Allah" and that Allah cannot alter (or
abrogate) his words." So the Torah
and Christian Gospels are correct, because Allah did verify this fact -- this
clearly makes the Muslim Qur'an is false; because it contradicts Allah.
- Consider the change
of amount of days creation took, first from 6 days (Suras 7:54, 10:3, 11:7,
and 25:59) and then it gets
changed to 8 days(Suras 41:9-12). Is
someone not playing with a full deck?
- Allah can have a
son. (Surah 39:4). Allah can't have a son. (Surah 6:101, and 25:2).
- All
angels obey Allah. (Surah 16:49-50). Not all angels obey Allah. (Surah 2:34)
- In Surah 19:19-22, the human Mary was told she
would have an "immaculate
conception," or be impregnated by Allah. Yet, Surah 6:100-101 denies
that Allah could have a son or daughter through mortals.
- Face Mecca while
praying. (Surah 2:144). Face Jerusalem while praying. Originally
Muhammad instructed Muslims to face Jerusalem
when praying; probably because Solomon established
the practice of praying while facing Jerusalem (1 Kings 8:29, 30, 44; 2
Chronicles 6:21; Daniel 6:10). Apparently,
Muhammad believed at first that God wanted him
to pray facing Jerusalem and he did so for nearly 16-17 months - at least
while he thought the he could convert the Jews to his religion. However, later, when the
Jews rebuffed him Muhammad preferred
to pray towards the Ka'ba in Mecca which, during this point in time,
contained 360 idols.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 392:
Narrated Bara' bin 'Azib:
Allah's
Apostle prayed facing Baitul-Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months but he
loved to face the Ka'ba (at Mecca) so Allah revealed: "Verily, We have
seen the turning of your face to the heaven!" (2:144) So the Prophet
faced the Ka'ba and the fools amongst the people namely "the Jews"
said, "What has turned them from their Qibla (Bait-ul-Maqdis) which they
formerly observed"" (Allah revealed): "Say: 'To Allah belongs
the East and the West. He guides whom he will to a straight path'."
(2:142) A man prayed with the Prophet (facing the Ka'ba) and went out. He saw
some of the Ansar praying the 'Asr prayer with their faces towards
Bait-ul-Maqdis, he said, "I bear witness that I prayed with Allah's
Apostle facing the Ka'ba." So all the people turned their faces towards
the Ka'ba.
- Is Jesus
a Prophet or not? Will Jesus burn in hell? In Surah 4:158 Jesus is raised to
Allah, and in Surah 3:45
Jesus is stationed near Allah.Jesus is worshiped by billions of Christians. Yet Surah
21:98 says, that all that are worshiped by men besides Allah will burn in
Hell together with those who worship them. Or, is Jesus Allah, the same
substance with the Father?
- Did Jesus Die or Not? Surah 3:144 is quite adamant that all messengers died
before Muhammad. But then Surah 4:158 claims that
Jesus was raised to God (alive?) and 4:157 falsely says Jesus
did not die.
- In Surah 4:157 we read
that Jesus certainly did not die, yet in Surah 19:33 we read
that not only did he die, but he arose again! 19:33 reads about Jesus: "And peace be upon me the day I
was born, the day I die, and the day I get resurrected."
- What is the
punishment for adultery? Surah 24:2
-Flogging with a 100 stripes (men and women); Surah 4:15 -"confine them
to houses until death do claim them (lifelong house arrest - for the women);
Surah 4:16 - For men: "If
they repent and amend, leave them alone". Surah 24:2
contradicts both the procedure for women and men in Surah 4:15. And why is
the punishment for women and men equal in Surah 24.2 but different in
Surah 4:15?
- In Surah 19:67, "But does not
man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?." In Surah 15:26, man is
created from clay (We created man
from sounding clay, from mud molded into shape;)." Since clay is something, we have
a contradiction since "nothing" excludes the possibility of
"clay."
- The
Koran is a divine revelation with no errors. Hmm! "This
Qur'an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah; on the contrary,
it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller
explanation of the Book - wherein there is no doubt - from the Lord of the
worlds" Surah 1:37; and "The revelation of the Book is from Allah,
the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom" Surah 45:2 . But then look
at this. "Never have We sent a prophet or apostle to you with
whose wishes Satan did not tamper. But Allah abrogates the
interjections of Satan and confirms His own revelations." Surah
22:52
Didn't Allah have a
Basic Education?
- It just doesn't add
up:
Surah 4:11-12 and 4:176 state the Qur'anic inheritance law. When a man dies,
and is leaving behind three daughters, his two parents and his wife, they
will receive the respective shares of 2/3 for the 3 daughters together, 1/3
for the parents together [both according to verse 4:11] and 1/8 for the wife
[4:12] which adds up to more than the available estate. A second example: A
man leaves only his mother, his wife and two sisters, then they receive 1/3
[mother, 4:11], 1/4 [wife, 4:12] and 2/3 [the two sisters, 4:176], which again adds up
to 15/12 of the available
property.
- In Suras 6:14, 6:163 and 39:12 we are told that Muhammad (born 570 years
after Jesus) was the first to
bow down to Allah; making him the firstMuslim. But wait, yet earlier in Qur'an passages weren't we
already told in the Qur'an that Abraham, his
sons and Jacob were former Muslims (Surah 2:132), and that all the earlier
prophets (Surah 28:52-53), and Jesus' Jewish disciples (Surah 3:52) were also Allah
believing Muslims?.
- Does Allah's day
equal to 1,000 human years (Surah 22:47, 32:5) or 50,000 human years (Surah
70:4)? "Verily a Day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand
years of your reckoning." Surah 22:47; "The angels and the spirit
ascend unto him in the Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand
years." Surah 70:4
- Heaven
and Earth created? Surah 2:29 says first earth and then heaven was
created. But wait, Suras 79:27-30 indicate, first heaven was
created, and after that earth?.
- To Intercede or Not
To Intercede? The Qur'an makes
contradictory statements about whether on the Day
of Judgment intercession will be possible. No: in Suras: 2:122-123, 254;
6:51; 82:18-19; etc. Yes: in Suras: 20:109; 34:23;
43:86; 53:26; etc. Typically, with
Qur'an errors; each position can be further supported/abrogated by a later Hadith.
- Does Allah forgive
shirk? Shirk can encompass
any object that a person may hold in regard higher than Allah. It is the most
severe of sins and will not be forgiven. But the author of
the Qur'an seems unable to decide if Allah will ever forgive it or not. No in Suras 4:48 and 4:116; andYes in Suras 4:153, 25:68-71. Another
contradiction: According to lies in Surah 6:76-78 Abraham committed
this sin of polytheism as he takes moon, sun, stars to be his Lord. Yet Muslims
believe that all prophets are without any sin!
- In Surah 96:1-2 we
read that God made man from a blood clot. But in Surah 21:30 it says man was
made from water. And Surah 15:26 says man was made from clay.
- According to Surah
10:90-92, Pharaoh believed "in the sight
of death" and was saved. But Surah 4:18 says that such a thing can't
happenbecause Pharaoh did not also repent.
- Will Christians
enter Paradise or go to Hell? Suras 2:62 and 5:69 say
"Yes" to Paradise. Surah 5:72 (3
verses later) and Surah 3:85 say "No" to Paradise.
- In Surah
2:234 widows are to keep themselves
apart for 4 months and 10 days after their husband's death. In Surah 2:240 it
is one year.
- Allah,
the god revealed in the Quran, is not a loving father. It says that he
desires to lead people astray (Surah 6:39, 125-126)
|
- YES: Believers, Jews, Sabaeans and
Christians - whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does what is
right - shall have nothing to fear or regret. Surah 5:69
|
|
- NO: Unbelievers are those that say:
"God is the Messiah, the son of Mary." For the Messiah himself said:
"Children of Israel, serve God, my Lord and your Lord." He that
worships other gods besides God, God will deny him Paradise, and the fire shall
be his home. None shall help the evil-doers. Surah 5:72
|
- Wine: Good or bad? Suras 5:90-91 and 2:219 - Strong drink and
... are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. . Suras 47:15, and 83:22, 25 -Yet on the other
hand in Paradise are rivers of wine. How does Satan's handiwork get into
Paradise? Surah 2:219 also
says there is profit inintoxicants.
Contrast these blunders
in the Qur'an (Koran) showing this book is not inspired by God with this
example of something really divinely inspired and accurate from the
Jewish/Christian Bible:
|
Millions
of Europeans died of leprosy for hundreds of years. Some physicians
thought the cause was eating hot food or the meat of diseased hogs.
Others blamed malign conjunction of the planets. Approximately 60
million people died from the BLACK DEATH in the 14th century.
God
divinely revealed in the Jewish Old Testament thousands of years earlier
that the solution to leprosy and the black plague was separating those
infected and proper hygiene, such as burying things that come in contact
with infected individuals :
"Once
the condition of leprosy has been established, the patient was to be
segregated and excluded from the community..."
For
centuries in Europe, multitudes perished because of improper hygiene,
sanitation and sloppy hospitals. In many villages, human excrement
and waste was dumped into the streets, bringing deadly epidemics of
typhoid, cholera and dysentery.
The
solution to the problem, the burying of wastes, and separating people, had
been given by God 3500 years before (in Deuteronomy 23:12-13)
|
Did you know?
According to Muhammad,
Angels are the reason Roosters Crow, and Satan is why Donkeys bray!
|
Bukhari,
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 522:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "When
you hear the crowings of cocks, ask for Allah's blessings (for their
crowing indicates that) they have seen an Angel. And, when you hear
the braying of donkeys, seek refuge with Allah from Satan for (their
braying indicates)that they have seen a Satan."
Also
consider this nonsense:
|
Muslim, Book 023, Number
5007:
Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported
Allah's Messenger having said: Do not eat with your left hand, for
the Satan eats with his left hand.
Muslims
deny that Jesus died on the Cross
Muslims
even deny that Jesus died on the cross; something that was faithfully
reported in 4 Gospels. Consider
the significance of the fact thatno Jew or Roman alive at the time
ever openly denied the Scriptural record of Jesus Christ's life, death,
ministry or resurrection.
Certainly,
with the Christian "cult" growing so rapidly throughout the regions
and even into nearby countries in those early days, anyone having evidence to
contradict the Scriptural account would certainly have likely been compelled
to present it publicly. Additionally, in the Jewish Babylonian Talmud
(Sanhedrin 43a) from the Tannaitic Period it is recorded: "On the eve of
Passover Yeshu was hanged"....
|
Muslims DO NOT pray to the same God
(Yahweh) as Christians and
Jews!
Yahweh is
transliterated from the Hebrew YHVH.
Before Muhammad the arabs had 360
gods - one for each day of the lunar year. Muhammad picked Allah (Al-Iahi / Nanna-sin),
who was the chief pagan
Arab god, the arab moon god, the son of Baal, their war god, and their
sword god. Nanna-sin was also simply called 'sin'. In Arabic
the word for God is 'llah', and the word for 'the' is 'al'. Combined
'alllah' contracted is 'Allah', which means 'the God'.
Undoubtedly, there is an
ongoing spiritual conflict in which Allah (the pagan moon-god, and son of
Baal) challenges Isa/Yeshua (Jesus). Just as the pagan god Baal
challenged Yahweh
(Yehowah). It is a fight of father versus Father, and son versus Son.

Pre-Islamic
history tells us that many Arabian tribes were stone worshippers.
This is also mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol 5, #661. The Old
Testament also talks about Mideast pagan groups
that worshipped stones.
|
When
Muhammad was born in Mecca, each Arab tribe in Mecca had their own
deity. There was a large black meteor found in the desert which many
Arabs believed was sent to them by astral deities. This rock was placed
in the southeast corner of the cube-shaped structure in Mecca. The
arabs knew this rock as the Ka'ba, which means stone. The black rock's
diameter is about 12 inches. It is reddish black in color, and has red
and yellow particles. During this time
before Islam this stone was part of the shrine to worship of a chief male god
(among over 360 other gods) who was known as Hubal. The black meteor
stone was said to symbolize a nature god known as al-Hajar
al-Aswad. Hubal was an oracular deity whose statue -- in human
form and made of red carneol -- stood in the Ka'ba until Muhammad destroyed
it. The Kaba is about
50 feet high, and the walls are about 40 feet long. The facade contains
the door, which starts at 7 feet off the ground, and faces N.E.. To enter the
Kaba, a ladder must be used. Also built in the eastern corner, is
another stone called "lucky". This stone is only touched, not
kissed. Pagans called out
the names of their pagan gods as they circled the Kaba the same as Muslims
do today, calling out Allah's
name. Early MeccanPagans also ran between the
nearby hills. Muhammad authorized
Muslims to do that in the Quran, and Muhammad probably ran
between the hills himself. So, even before
Muhammad pagans were worshipping this black stone in the Kaba. Are we
surprised that although Muhammad proclaimed only one God, he continued
to participate in idol worship at this pagan shrine (Kaba); and Muslims still
do idol worship there today? The black stone of Ka'aba is nothing but a
holdover within Islam, from pre-Islamic paganism.
There is
evidence that black stones were commonly worshipped in the Arab world.
In 190 A.D. Clement of Alexandria mentioned that "the Arabs worship
stone". He was alluding to the black stone of Dusares at
Petra. In the 2nd century, Maximus Tyrius wrote; "The Arabians pay
homage to I know not what god, which they represent by a quadrangular
stone". Maximus was speaking of the Kaaba (Ka'ba) that contains
the Black Stone.
The Qurash
(aka: Quraish) tribe which Muhammad belonged to was in charge of idol worship
at the Ka'ba Shrine. The chief god of Muhammad's tribe was one of the
three sister goddesses called al-Uzza, the youngest of the three daughters of
the pre-Islamic Allah and the patron goddess of Mecca. Her name means
"the mighty one". The other two were named "al-Lat and
"al-Manat". It was only by chance that a fortune teller
counseled Muhammad's grandfather against sacrificing Muhammad's father to
this al-Uzza pagan diety. The head of these pagan, animalistic deities
was "Al-llah". It is believed that "al-llah" in
Muhammad's time before Islam referred to a vague moon god and that Muhammad
believed that al-Uzza was a daughter of this "al-llah".
The Qurash
tribe's Allah corresponded to the god Bel, which is another name of the
Assyrio-Babylonian gods En-lil and Marduk. It has the same meaning as
Baal. The Arabic today translates the word Allah as "the
God". Muhammad's father's name was Abd
Allāh ibn ‘Abd al-Mullalib. "Abd-Allah" means slave
of Allah. When Muhammad says there is only one god - Allah - now
you have an idea what his background / thinking was; and
who this Allah actually is. Muhammad sincerely believed in the power of this
black meteorite. So much so, that he made it a the central point of Hajj
(pilgrimage) to Mecca. The Hajj ends with everyone kissing this black stone
as a devotion to Allah.

Salman Rusdie
|
|
Salman was born into a Muslim family in
Mumbai in 1947
|
Of note:
in 1988, Salman Rushdie's novel "Satanic Verses" contained the
above as the basis for that book. This book led Ayatollah Khomeni to
offer a $3 million bounty on the Muslim Salman Rushdie. But Salman Rushdie
did not lie about Islam's early Satanic beginning! He merely reported
the truth. And truth is something Islam cannot tolerate. Salman Rusdie
was knighted by the British queen in June 2007.
Would a
true Prophet make any exception to Monotheism (belief in only one God)?
During the early stages of Islam, Muhammad was frustrated in his attempts to
win over Mecca's merchants and other powerful people, who were all
polytheists (believe in many gods). Finally he relented on his hitherto
uncompromising monotheism and stated that it was permitted for the pagan gods
of Mecca --specifically, three female deities named al-Lat, al-Uzza, and
Manat --to intercede before Allah for the people. According to Islamic
tradition, Satan took advantage of Muhammad's desire for reconciliation and
"put upon his tongue" as a revelation from Allah this rhetorical
question and answer: "Uzza and Manat, the third, the other"?
These are the exalted Gharaniq (cranes) whose intercession is approved."
The pagan members of Muhammad's tribe, the Quraysh, were pleased; they
prostrated themselves before their gods as the Muslims were prostrating
themselves before Allah, and went out saying, "Muhammad has spoken of
our god in splendid fashion."
How did Muhammad get out of this mess? Just as you would expect.
"Miraculously" and conveniently, Gabriel came to Muhammad and and
gave a new Surah (22:51) which says that Satan routinely tampers with the messages
of the prophets. Reference: Page 69, "Inside Islam, A Guide for
Catholics"
The Suyuti says in Asbab of the Nuzul (page 184):
"Muhammad
was in Mecca. He read the chapter of the Star. When he uttered, ‘Have you
seen the Lat, the ’Uzza, and the other third Manat?’, Satan instilled in his
tongue, ‘These are the exulted idols (daughters of God) whose intercession is
hoped.’ The infidels said that Muhammad had mentioned their gods with good
words. Then when he prostrated, they prostrated, too. Thus, the above verse
22:52 was not inspired."
On page
282 of the Commentary of the Jalalan, we read the same interpretation, and
the Jalalan added,
"Gabriel
came to Muhammad after that and told him that Satan had thrust these words
into his tongue. Muhammad became sad, then Gabriel delivered this verse to
him to comfort him."
In his
book, "The Kash-shaf’, the Zamakh-shari (A.D.1144) (part 3, pages 164 and 165), asserts that,
"This
episode which Muhammad experienced is common knowledge and unquestionable,
and is related to us by the companions of Muhammad."
In short,
this Allah is not the God of the Jews or the Christians. Allah is in
fact a Meccan Moon god idol. To confess that Allah is the same God of
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses is to deny Yahweh (I Am), who is
revealed in the Lord Jesus the Christ!
The standard of judgment
for the God of the Qur'an is that our good deeds (to Muslims only) must
outweigh our bad deeds (Suras 7:8-9; 21:47); but the standard of the God of
the true Bible is nothing less than complete
perfection as measured by the holy character of God (Matthew 5:48; Romans
3:23).
Since nobody can attain perfection, God sent His only Son as a substitute
atonement (korban) so that those who believe and trust in Jesus, although
imperfect ourselves--will have eternal life. In short, did a marvelous
thing that shows He loves us. God Himself (Yeshua/Jesus) was the only
perfect sacrifice to this dilemma.
Two important attributes of
Yahweh (I am/Jesus) is that God is both just and merciful. Muslims Often ask me -How can God
die on a cross?
When they should be asking; "Why did God suffer and die on a
cross"? The answer is God is love! Love for us is the reason
the Father sent His Son Jesus to die in our place --- to save us from the
just punishment for our sins. Because of the Cross, Yeshua/Jesus got
the justice, and we got the mercy.
Muslim activists in the
West have been using the tactic of claiming that they worship the same god as
the Christians in order to gain legitimacy and acceptance. They have been
using the name "God" in place of "Allah" in many
translations of the Qur'an.
Satanic lie: Good deeds will get you to
heaven. Truth: The wages of sin/any sin are death.
Islam is
very much a deeds-based religion where God is keeping
score. For Muslims, good
deeds go on one side of God's ledger, and bad
deedsgo on the other side. Islam says that on
the day of resurrection, each person's ledger will be balanced. Assuming that
all of the other basic qualifications were met during life (i.e., the 'Pillars
of Islam'), if the person's good outweighs the bad: Paradise. If the bad
outweighs the good: Hell. It's just that simple. NO Muslim ever
knows if they are destined to rot in hell forever. Muhammad said he
was unsure himself if he would go to heaven or hell.
The real
God has made it all simpler than this false deed-based system. But it
requires you believe something with your whole heart. This may require
you leaving your family and/or friends. But, your eternal life, and
where you spend eternity demands it.
You have to accept the Son of
God's substitutional atonement of your sins.

John 3:16
- 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.
You only have to ask Jesus and He will save you.
Only in Jesus do we have a promise for life. Jesus said; "I am the
resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies,
will live" (John 11:25)

Islam says the God of
the Qur'an provided a messenger, Muhammad, who warned of Allah's impending
judgment (Suras 2:119; 5:19; 7:184, 188; 15:89-90) and who declared that
"No bearer of a burden can bear the burden of another" (Suras
17:15; 35:18, Ali); but the God of the Bible provided a sinless Savior,
Jesus, who took our sins upon himself and bore God's wrath in our stead
(Matthew 20:28; 26:28; Luke 22:37; John 3:16; 10:9-11; 2 Corinthians 5:21;
Galatians 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10).
Interesting
enough. Jesus and Mary were
among the many images—in addition to the goddesses of fertility and
power—worshiped at the Ka'bah during Muhammad's day. Early stories of
Muhammad relate how when he entered Mecca in triumph he ordered the
destruction of all idols and images. But, when he came upon a picture of the
Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus inside the Ka'bah he reverently covered this
icon with his cloak. He ordered all other images to be destroyed, and that
the image of the Madonna and Child was to be looked upon as sacred.
One Muslim myth,
concerning the Kaba, is that anyone who prays under the Kaba's water-pipe
becomes as pure as on the day when his mother bore him. Muslims have a
hard time accepting the Christ's atonement even though it is
there clear as day in all 4 Gospels that Muhammad validated, but Muslims will allow for
total forgiveness of sins by uttering a prayer under a spout! Who is being
deceived?
Islam's
dilemma about Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus & the divinity of Jesus
Islam's
high regard for Mary is rooted in various texts of the Koran (Qur'an),
including the following: "Behold! the angels said: 'O Mary! Allah has
chosen you above the women of all nations'" (Surah 3:42). The
purity of Mary in Islamic thought is equated with sinlessness. The
Qur'an even affirms the Virgin Birth of Jesus, echoing Mary's response to the
angel Gabriel from Luke's Gospel: "She said: 'O my Lord! How shall I
have a son when no man hath touched me?'" (Surah 3:47). Muslim
theologians, however, do not explore the implications of Mary's sinlessness
or the Virgin Birth. They do not want to pursue a line of thought that
might lead to the affirmation that Jesus was divine, a very disturbing
conclusion for the Muslim. Reference: Pages 61 & 62, "Inside
Islam, A Guide for Catholics"
Add this
dilemma about Mary to the fact that the Qur'an confused the sister
of Moses by implication (Miriam) with Mary (lived 1500 yrs
apart), the mother of Jesus 3 times --and one
needs to seriously question Islam's and its Allah's credibility.
Also, remember, Muhammad seemed to think that Jesus was Moses' nephew,
the son of Moses' sister Mariam.
More
Islamic Editing of their Qur'an:
In the
Koran, Surah 53:19 says 'Have you considered "Al Lat" and "al-Uzza" and "Manat" the third other?' This passage was
originally followed by the words 'Verily they are the exalted maidens and
their intercession is to be hoped for'. The polytheistic Pagans of Mecca
were delighted when Muhammad delivered this passage because it was a chant
recited by the Qurash tribe as they circled the Ka'aba while worshipping these
three principle goddess of pre-Islamic Mecca. This compromise also caused
some companions to doubt Muhammad and leave his fold. "Al-Lat"
was the most famous of the pre Islamic pagan gods. She was the chief
goddess (and idol) of the tribe of Thakif at Taif, who tries to compromise
with Muhammad, if only he could destroy their god "Al-Lat" for 3
years.
The
earliest authority on the life of Muhammad (Ibn Hisham) claimed that these words were
uttered by Muhammad at the
"instigation of Satan" and are considered to the be Satanic
Verses (not to be confused
with Salman Rushdies' book).
When
Muhammad realized that his attempt to appease the pagan Meccans was causing
his followers to leave, he quickly made a slight alteration and a major
omission to this passage by dropping the sentence about the exalted maidens.
To make matters worse, Gabriel allegedly came to Muhammad and denied that he
had revealed the word to him. ('Sirat'ul Rasool' as revised by Ibn Hisham,
(vs. 239), and Tabari pp. 1 192). Muhammad retained the named of the
goddesses, and added that it was unfair that God should have daughters while
humans had sons (See Surah 53:19-23).
In fact, God does have a Son
(begotten/not made).
Proverbs
30:4 (written 700 B.C./1323 yrs before Muhammad): "Who hath ascended up
into heaven or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath
bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the Earth?
What is His name, and what is His son's
name,
if thou canst tell?" Read here to find out.
Goodness
& truth prevails
Islam
would have Christians and Jews believe that this pagan Allah who insists on
world domination and death to non-believers -- and who is the same god who
offers Muslim terrorist martyrs hedonistic sex with virgins in heaven - is
the same Christian and Jewish "holy God of the
Book". Christians and Jews think that this is blasphemy.
Though
present-day Jews and Christians are not all saints, there is no getting
around the fact that neither of those religions has sprouted a contemporary
movement aimed at world domination to be achieved by terror and war. That
honor is reserved for the Muslim faith. It must be concluded, that the
real problem, the baseline problem, lies with Satan's subtle lies found in
the message (Qur'an); and also with the messenger (Muhammad).
Slavery
is not a hallmark of the true God
Most individual Muslims
may respect and honor women, but Islam doesn't! Several words Muhammad uses in his
dishonorable Qur'an to describe women should be an "eye
opener". The words “naghess al aghl” literally means defected witted
person. It describes the intellectual capability of women in general. And the
word “zaeefeh”, refers directly to female gender in contrast to men in
ain a condescending way. It means “the weaker one” . Muhammad's Allah command this: “Give them their
dowry for the enjoyment you have had of them as a duty” (Koran 4.24).
In other words, a Muslim husband should live with his wife to satisfy his own
need and pleasure. It is clearly understood in Islam,
that if a woman disobeys her husband, it
is usually necessary for her husband to stop having sex with her
(temporarily) and for him to teach her "a lesson" by some form of
physical punishment.

The Islamic Qur'an
itself is responsible for cruelty toward Muslim women, both young and
old. In short, this evil book likens a woman to a field (or a
tilth). This "field" is to be used by a Muslim man as he sees
fit. This "model" was set forth by Muhammad himself, and what
he said and how he treated women. If
a woman does not consent to make love, civil law of western countries
consider this as rape, plain and simple. However the Quran does not ask
women. It takes into account only the will of the husband.
|
The Quran
in Surah (Chapter) 2:223 says:
Your women are your
fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like . . . . (MAS Abdel Haleem, The Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004)
|
Christians believe their
lives should be modeled after that of the Lord Jesus who spent time teaching
women, which broke with the customs of his day (Luke 10:38-42). His
respect was demonstrated even toward sinful women who turned to him for
compassion (Luke 7:36-39). Jesus, the true prince of peace,
crossed racial and cultural barriers to reveal his true identity to a
Samaritan woman (John 4:1-42). Jesus healed a woman on the Sabbath and Jesus He freed the woman caught
in adultery from being stoned. And, after his resurrection, Jesus
honored the female disciples by appearing to them first (Matthew 28:8-10).
Aisha, the most beloved of
Muhammad's many wives said to Muslim women: "O womenfolk, if you knew
the rights that your husbands have over you, every one of you would wipe the
dust from her husband's feet with her face."
This satanically-inspired
Islamic religion has also managed to enslave women, which the true God would
never be part of. If the husband wants to have sex with his wife he
can, even by force - which in the west, and in Christian and Jewish
tradition, is considered cruelty and rape. Under Egyptian
law, Muslims are not allowed to change their religious identities to any
other faith, although Christians are free to convert officially to
Islam.
The Koran (Qur'an) is the
biggest enemy of civilization, liberty and truth that the world has ever
known. Inherent in the Qur'an are polygamy, divorce, slavery, elevation
of jihad as a sure way to heaven, hatred of non-believers, and
even lying if it is gainful.
Cruel Muslim mullahs, imams and ayatollah's insist a woman must
wear a veil as a way to remove the female sex from its just position and
influence in the world--itself a form of slavery. You may think this to
be a small issue. You wouldn't if you were a woman and had to bundle up
in 110 degree weather every day, just because of extreme male
chauvinism. This comes from Muslim interpretation of the way Muhammad
treated his own wives to apply to all women.

This true story takes
place in Taliban occupied Afghanistan. But the truth is that the
Taliban practiced true unadulterated Islam. Islam's goal is to
bring the world a Muslim dominated society with the same rules imposed by
murderous Mullah's and Imams like those in Afghanistan. Islam seeks a
world full of zombies and slaves who pamper every whim of the mullahs and
imams. Funny! Isn't that what Satan wants?
The Islamic
fundamentalists known as the "Taliban" unleashed a
regime of terror. Its first victims were its own people, particularly
women. It closed down girls' schools, dismissed women from government jobs,
and enforced sharia laws under which women deemed to be "immoral"
are stoned to death, and widows guilty of being adulterous are buried
alive.

This very
well produced dramatic film follows the story of Samir Majan, a young man
born and raised a Muslim in the Middle East who attended college in
America. After receiving a degree from a university in Chicago, he begins
his trip back home to see his family. But something has drastically changed
in the young man’s life since coming to the States. As his welcoming
committee awaits his arrival, the young man’s fear and concern is
overwhelming. Samir knows trouble and persecution lie ahead because he has
done the unthinkable. Samir has become....a Christian.
Knowing
how hard it would be for some to break away from life long bonds to
different customs/traditions/religions; but yet so important to gain
eternal life --- this is what Jesus meant when He said the following:

For
I came to turn A man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a
daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;10:37 The person who loves father or
mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; the person who loves son or
daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

Allah
perverts people?
The
picture of Allah as revealed by the Qur'an is quite different to the one of
God revealed in both the Old and New Testaments.
The Qur'an
teaches that Allah is not only utterly transcendent but also the author of
evil. "God is the best of devisers", "my guile is sure" are
quotes from the Qur'an concerning Allah! Muhammad said, " My sincere
counsel will not profit you, if God desires to pervert you; He is your
lord ...." (Arberry, Interpreted pgs 200, 193, 243 quoted in 'The Facts
on Islam" by John Ankerberg and John Weldon).. The Qur'an frequently
refers to "the man whom Allah deliberately misleads".
Would a true and righteous God
do this?
Muhammad
is infatuated with adopted son's wife. Takes her for himself.
According
to the Qur'an (Koran):
Muhammad
adopted Zaid (aka: Zayd) because Muhammad had no sons. Zaid married a
stunningly beautiful woman named Zainab (aka: Zaynab). Once when
Muhammad was visiting Zaid's home he accidentally saw Zaibab in scanty
attire. Muhammad was overcome with lust. In the Koran we are told that it was Allah who caused
Muhammad's heart to desire Zainab. And that it was Allah's Will for Zaid to divorce
his wife so that Muhammad could marry her. Muhammad married
Zainab in June 626 A.D. This Allah
therefore desires lust and coveting a "neighbor's"
wife. Naturally, his
followers began to murmur about their pious prophet acting this way.
So, lo and behold yet another Surah was miraculously given some months after
the fact from Allah that absolved Muhammad personally (Surah 33:37).
There are
three obstacles to Zaid's proposal to relinquish his wife to Muhammad.
(1) The Islamic stance regarding the evil of divorce; (2) The Quranic limitation
of four wives per man; and (3) the strong social principle that no
distinction should be made between adopted sons and sons by birth.
After Muhammad took Zaid's wife he did a quick razzle-dazzle to cover his
tracks. He conveniently received another revelation (Surah 33:4-5, 40)
that said; henceforth adopted sons should retain the name of their natural
fathers and that Muhammad had no blood tie to Zaid. Muhammad promptly
changed Zaid's name from Zaid ibn Muhammad, back to Zaid ibn Harithah. (The Quran Unveiled, pg 20)
Surah
33:37-38 (Noble
Qur'an) Behold! Thou didst
say to one who had received the grace of Allah and thy favour: "Retain
thou (in wedlock) thy wife, and fear Allah." But thou didst hide in thy
heart that which Allah was about to make manifest: thou didst fear the
people, but it is more fitting that thou shouldst fear Allah. Then when Zaid
had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We
joined her in marriage to thee: in order that (in future) there may be no
difficulty to the Believers in (the matter of) marriage with the wives of
their adopted sons, when the latter have dissolved with the necessary
(formality) (their marriage) with them. And Allah's command must be
fulfilled. There can be no difficulty to the Prophet in what Allah has
indicated to him as a duty. It was the practice (approved) of Allah amongst
those of old that have passed away. And the command of Allah is a decree
determined.
Or, was it more of Muhammad's scheming, and making up the rules to get his
own way with this beautiful woman? We note elsewhere
where Muhammad laid with a 9 year old girl (Ayisha) when Muhammad was in his
50's, and also a beautiful 17 year old Jewish girl (Safiyah) - one day after
Muhammad had her family massacred. Although Muhammad fixed the legal
number of wives as 4 for his followers, Muhammad let it be known that Allah
gave Muhammad himself the special privilege of any number of wives.
Muhammad again miraculously received a Surah giving himself the privilege of
cohabitating with his female slaves.
In the
Jewish-Christian Bible Jewish Kings were chastised, disciplined and
ostracized by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for this sort of coveting
behavior that the Islamic Allah applauds. This behavior issue is
another reason that Allah is not the One and true God. Wouldn't one
expect the true Lord to insist on good Christian behavior? The true
just God of the Bible simply would not give Muhammad special dispensation
over others. Would a just God exempt one man (Muhammad) from the
law. All the while expecting other men to keep it? The Prophets
of God were never given the right to sidestep God's laws. Remember,
this was supposedly a divinely directed law, Muhammad was under obligation to
obey. Jesus said; "Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be
for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso
marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." (Matthew 19:9)

Does
Allah desire you live in Paradise? Or, your torment in Hell?
how
can Muslims miss what Allah really has in store for them?
|
Whereas, Yahweh (I Am) has provided
eternal salvation and life to those who believe in Jesus (Isa); because
Jehovah's wrath has already been poured out on Jesus, for the sins of those
who trust and believe in Jesus...
Consider what Allah really desires: The Islamic Qur'an says that Allah desires to
lead people astray (Surah 6:39 , 126). He does not help those who are
led astray by him (Surah 30:29) and desires to use them to populate hell
(Surah 32:13).
Echoes
of Eden (The Lying):
Would a
True Prophet of God condone and actually permit
lying, to further his own goals?
Muhammad
treated truth and deception according his own style of situational ethics.
For example:
Narrated
Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
Allah's
Apostle said, "Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt
Allah and His Apostle?" Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up
saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?"
The
Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said,
"Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab).
" The Prophet said, "You may say it." ...
(Sahih al-Bukhari 5.369, cf. the article on Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf for further
details)

Iran
is doing this now. Islam teaches a Muslim can lie and engage in covert
deception regarding dealings with indidels
|
Muslim
Doctrine of Taqiyya (or lying is
ok): In the west very
few people understand a very important doctrine of Islam called Taqiyya (Taqeya,
Taqiya). Until we
understand this in the west, we will never be
able to deal with the Muslim world properly. Taqiyya roughly
translates as lying for the faith. A Muslim may tell any lie when they are
threatened. In short, a Muslim
can lie as a holy duty to
deceive and gain an advantage over the unbeliever. The non-prophet
Muhammad sanctioned this when he said; “he who keeps
secrets shall soon attain his objectives.” Can we imagine
Jesus, Moses or Buddha saying “Hey lying is good!”? Is it any wonder
that freemasons think the same way
Muhammad does?
The
Islamic god with a little "g" has just been caught teaching
lies. God Himself cannot lie! The true God teaches that lying is wrong
under all circumstances. See 1 John 2:21, Proverbs 13:5, Titus 1:2 and
Ephesians 4:25
An example
of the Qur'an teaching deceit:
Any
one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under
compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast
to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful
Penalty. Surah 16:106
According
to the above Surah, when under compulsion, Muslims could just pretend to
believe another faith, while secretly retaining their Muslim faith.
This is in stark contrast to the thousands Christian martyr who refused to
renounce their faith, and gladly died for Jesus.
Beware
- Allah has not one attribute of love for Muslims:
Muslim's
and any others considering Islam should take care to note that the Allah they are
praying to, has not one attribute
of love.
This should be a another sign to you that who you bow down to in Islam
is really not whom the imams, mullahs and ayatollah's say he is.
Look through the Qur'an - there is no attribute of unconditional love accorded Allah
to his Muslims--but
once. Ironically, in Surah 20:390 Allah does
unconditionally say he loves one man - the Hebrew Moses.
Another "red flag"
is that there is not one place in either the Muslim Qur'an or even in the
much later made up Hadith's that teaches Muslims to have a loving
relationship with Allah. This Allah is
to only be feared by Muslims. Muslims are in no way allowed "free
will" by this tyrant.
The Qur'an
does have words such as Allah is compassionate. But to whom?
Certainly Allah was always compassionate to Muhammad, who stood behind all of
Muhammad's escapades. In fact, Allah often changed his mind/teachings
to suit Muhammad's schedule of plunder, murder and political intrigue.
Allah was not compassionate to all those (Arab poets, women with babies,
Jews, Christians and other dissenters) Muhammad ordered to be ruthlessly
murdered - simply because they stood up to him and his band of killers.
To give
one an idea of just how intolerant and unforgiving Muhammad himself
was. When Muhammad's uncle Abu Lahab publicly rejected Muhammad's
"prophetic" message, Muhammad curses Abu Lahab and his wife in
words that have become an entire Surah (Surah 111:1-5) in the Qur'an:
"May the hands of Abu Lahab perish! May he himself perish!
Nothing shall his wealth and gains avail him. He shall be burnt in a
flaming fire, and his wife, laden with faggots, shall have a rope of fibre
around her neck!" This is the sort of example of its founder, that
the Muslim Qur'an if filled with.
This
should be a yet another warning. When you hear hatred preached in your
mosques realize who you really follow.
Muhammad's "carrot" to ensure his world
domination via Jihad:
Will all Muslims go to
Hell? According to Surah 19:71 every Muslim will go to Hell
(for at least some time), while another passage states that those who die in
Jihad will go to Paradise immediately.
A symptom of evil (bait
and switch). Except for Allah saying he loved the
Jew/Hebrew Moses (in Surah 20:39) there is not one
mention of Allah unconditionally loving man in the Qur'an (Koran); or
providing a route to salvation. Can you be sure your time in Hell will
not be an eternity? If you do not do Allah's bidding by doing terrorist
acts -- what future awaits you as a Muslim?
The true Living
God already provided a
simple plan to salvation; and it is the true path of Peace.
Muslims often say they
honor Jesus as a great prophet. If they truly honored Jesus Muslims
would believe what He (Jesus) said;
"For
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John
3:16
"I
and my Father are one." John 10:30
"Who
is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist,
that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath
not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father
also." 1 John 2:22, 23
The loving
God made the Key to Life after Death simple:
In the
Christian Bible, in John 4:8 and 16 we read; "For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, and have everlasting life."
"Truly,
truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has
eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death
into life." -John 5:24
Also,
Jesus said this to those who follow Him: "In my Father's house are many
mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place
for you." John 14:2.
The God of
the Jewish and Christian Bible is revealed as a faithful Father, the God of
love, truth and justice. Jehovah, the God of the Christian-Jewish Bible is
"too pure to look upon sin" and is "not willing that any
should perish, but desires that all men come to a knowledge of the
truth" (1 Timothy 2:4).
The true
Christian-Jewish God "has no pleasure in the death of a sinner" and
according to the Bible even sent Jesus, His Son into the world to pay the
price of our sins so that we could be forgiven, despite the just penalty of
death that sinners such as you and I deserve.
Your
eternal Salvation depends on your seeing this:
In the
Koran there is listed 99 attributes of Allah. Except for Allah saying
he loved the Jew/Hebrew Moses (in 20:39) there is not one
mention of Allah unconditionally loving man in the Qur'an (Koran).
Remember,
it is quite clear in the Qur'an that Muhammad and his Allah thought Moses lived
at the time on Noah, and that Jesus'
mother Mary was Moses' and Aaron's sister.
Weigh all this
evidence carefully - because your entire salvation and where you spend
eternity depends on you getting this right. You will find that Allah is a
false god. Allah is the same old tribal pagan god of pre-islamic arabs.
Muhammad simply elevated Allah to a deity position to motivate his
troops for plunder, raping, and murdering. It provided Muhammad the
"authority" he needed for him to live his own "good life";
just as it continues to provide a "good life" for the
despotic arab kings, imams, mullahs and other teachers of Islam
today. Knowing Muhammad's historic life
style are you willing to bet eternal life on this one source alone
(Muhammad)?
The Qur'an is not from
numerous corroborated sources like the Jewish and Christian bibles. It
comes from one source alone; a supposedly nazil (or tanzil - the belief it has been
sent down from God, unfettered by human hands) revelation to Muhammad
only. Thereis not a single outside witnesses who can
corroborate Muhammad's testimony; nor are any miracles or even prophesies (about
him)provided to substantiate his claims.
Is
Allah someone you would rationally want any dealings with?
Let us
reason. If a man had the character of Allah, as described in the
Qur'an, no one in their right mind would want to do business with him! For
Allah is apparently a god who misleads, perverts people, changes his mind and
encourages polygamy, concubinage, wife-beating, slavery and "holy"
war on the enemies of Islam. The more serious people are about following
Allah and the Qur'an, the more social wreckage they will create both in the
home and in the international arena.

Women
are property in Islam
In
Muhammad's time, women's roles were notably inferior to men's. One of
the most difficult verses reads: "Righteous women are therefore
obedient, guarding the secret for God's guarding. And those you fear
may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat
them" (Surah 4:34). The Arabic word "beat" or
"scourge" does not mean tap lightly; it is the same word used
to beat a violent criminal or a camel. Muhammad himself once
deliberately struck ‘Aisha "on the chest which caused me
pain", according to Sahih Muslim vol.2:2127
In
matters of inheritance, women are to receive half of what men receive
(Surah 4:11). Men are the "managers" of women (Surah 4:35)
and can "come unto [their] tillage as they wish" (sexually)
(Surah 2:223); can divorce their wives by stating "I divorce
you" three times (2:229-230); and may take more than one wife
(4:29).
More that await
women in a pure Islamic country of "bliss" (following are in
the Noble Koran):
Surah
4:3 - A Muslim man can marry up to 4 women; a Muslim woman can have
only one man.
Surah 2:229 - Men can ask for a divorce. Women can't.
Surah 4:11 - A woman can only inherit half of what a man can
Surah 4:34 - Women cannot serve as imams, but they can't even lead a
prayer in front of men.
Surah 33:53 - A woman cannot answer the door at home if a husband is
not there.
Surah 33:33 - Women should stay in their houses and not travel without
permission of husband/fathers.
Surah 4:34 - A husband can beat a wife into submission if the wife
refuses sexual relations.
Woman are
Deficient in Mind and body in Islam (taken from the Islamic Hadith):
The
intellectual and religious deficiencies of women are stated in the
following Hadith found in Sahih al-Bukhari which is considered by
Muslim scholars to be "The most authentic book after the Book of
Allah (ie. the Qur'an)":[13]
"Allah's
Apostle once said to a group of women : 'I have not seen any one more
deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious, sensible
man could be led astray by some of you.' The women asked: 'O Allah's
Apostle, what is deficient in our intelligence and religion?' He said:
'Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?'
They replied in the affirmative. He said: 'This is the deficiency of
your intelligence'
... 'Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her
menses?' The women replied in the affirmative. He said: 'This is the
deficiency in your religion.'"[14]
The
authenticity of the above Hadith is undisputed. It is reported by the
two most reliable collections of Hadith; Bukhari and Muslim. The
agreement of Bukhari and Muslim on its authenticity makes it (mutafaqun
'alayhi) 'agreed upon', which is the highest degree of authenticity.
The above Hadith has been accepted and used by eminent scholars, such
as Ghazali, Ibn al-'Arabi, Razi, Suyouti, Qortobi, Nawawi, and Ibn
Kathir, in their writings. The above
Hadith does not describe women only in early Islam, but it is a
description for all times, so long as 'women can neither pray nor fast
during their menses' and so long as 'the evidence of two women is equal
to the witness of one man.' This reasoning is not a temporary one, but
is rooted in and derived from the Qur'an for all time until the day of
resurrection.
The majority of people in hell are women.
·
Muhammad said, "I was
shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of
its dwellers are women. " Vol. 1:28,
301; Vol. 2:161; Vol. 7:124
Muhammad also once said; "If there is an evil omen in anything, it
is in the house, the woman, and the horse. Reference: Sahih Al-Bukhari,
vol. 7, book 62, no. 31.
Islam
allows polygamy: A man may marry up to four wives at one time.
"Marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four... "
Surah 4:3
Women are second class (Qur'an 2:228):
"And
it is for the women to act as they (the husbands) act by them, in all fairness;
but the men are a step above them."[7]
Women are Toys
(for men) in Islam
"Omar
[one of the Khalifs] was once talking when his wife interjected, so he
said to her: 'You are a toy, if you are needed we will call
you."[21]
And 'Amru Bin al-'Aas, also a Khalif, said: "Women are toys, so
choose."[22]
This was not just 'Amru Bin al-'Aas and 'Omar's opinions.
Muhammad himself
said: "The
woman is a toy, whoever takes her let him care for her (or do not lose
her)."[23]
In Saudi Arabia women
are so second class that they can't even sit in
the front seat of a car with their husband; even if they were the only two people in the car. Women can't
eat in most public eating places. If they do, it's in a back door room. According to Iranian
law, a boy can be executed from the age of 15, and a girl from the age
of nine.
Muhammad's
trouble with his harem:
Muhammad's
sexual appetite is legendary. There seems to be no bounds outside which
this man would not go for his own gratification and pleasures.
After attacking innocent caravans and innocent villages for a while,
the Muslims gained fame, notoriety and wealth in Arabia. This
wealth included many male and female slaves which the Muslims freely
sold and used sexually. The ruler of Egypt once sent Muhammad a rich
present consisting of a variety of expensive articles, including two
Coptic Christian slave girls. Muhammad decided to take the more
beautiful of the two, Mariyah, for himself, lodging her in a nearby
house. His other wives became severely jealous, creating great
unhappiness for the girl, and such torment for Muhammad that he
promised his wives that he would not see the girl anymore. This
circumstance resulted in Muhammad receiving yet another revelation from
Allah called the "Surah of Banning" or Prohibition, Surah
66. This revelation conveniently disapproved of Muhammad for
banning the girl from his life, it absolved Muhammad of the oath he had
taken to stop seeing her. And, it rebuked his wives (two in
particular), and even threatened the entire harem with the possibility
that Muhammad might divorce them and replace them with "widows and
virgin maids". Mariyah later became the bearer of Muhammad's
only male child. (Reference: The Quran
Unveiled, Pg 28)

Consider the recent case of this
young woman in Iran. Nazanin,
was only 17 years old when rapists attacked her and her 16 year old
niece when they were walking on
a road west of Tehran. Nazanin and others testified that
after the three men started to throw stones at them, the two girls’
boyfriends quickly escaped on their motorbikes leaving the pair
helpless. Nazanin described how the three attackers pushed her and her niece
Somayeh onto the ground and tried to rape them. She said that she then took out a knife from her
pocket and stabbed one of the men in the hand.
As the girls tried to escape, the men once again attacked them, and
at this point, Nazanin said, she stabbed one of the men in the chest.
The teenage girl, however, broke down in tears in court as she
explained that she had no intention of killing the man but was merely
defending herself and her younger niece from rape.
Despite many testimonies from witnesses that she stabbed this rapist
in self defense, an Iranian court has sentenced her to be
hanged. Capital
offenses in Iran include also apostasy from Islam and blasphemy.

A Donkey and a Dog
This
is exactly what Muhammad's
wife A’isha said to the
great Caliphs and
"teachers" of her day: She
said; "You have put
us on the same level with a donkey and a dog."
A’isha made this
statement to those great companions and scholars of the time of Muhammad. A’isha said this to Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Abdalla
Ibn Abbas, Abu-zarr, Abu Hurayra, Anas Ibn Malik and others on whose
authority most of Muhammad’s
Hadith and interpretations of the Qur’an were handed down.
A'isha said it's because
these "pillars" of Islam assured people that Muhammad said that if a man is praying
and a donkey, a dog, or a woman passes in front of him, his prayer will
not be acceptable, and he has to perform ablution (washing) again and
repeat his prayer. None of the scholars question this matter. In Islam, this is repeated every day—whenever a woman
passes in front of a man while he is praying; or if a dog or a donkey walks
in front of him. In this case, a
good Muslim has to wash
himself again and repeat his prayer; otherwise his prayer will not be
counted.
This treatment of
women is what Islam wants to give to the entire world.
Contrast the above with Christianity's teaching about women: The Apostle
Paul knew better then anybody in antiquity that male and female were
equal in Christ Jesus. It was he, after all, who said, "There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is
neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus"
(Gal. 3:28). Paul saw nothing inferior about women's
dignity.

A Turkish movie. When
17-year-old Meryem (Ozgu Namal) is found disheveled and unconscious by
the side of a lake, her family believes the worst - that her chastity
has been lost and that she has been a willing accomplice in its
disposal. They turn to the ancient principle of "tore," a
strict moral code governing the rules of sexual practice, which condemns
Meryem to death. The duty of defending the family's honor is given to
distant cousin Cemal (Murat Han), who must take Meryem to Istanbul and
kill her along the way.
The two begin to fall for each other and their journey takes an
unexpected turn when they meet Irfan (Talat Bulut), an academic
escaping his big city angst, who is also looking for a second chance in
life. Set against the impressive backdrop of Turkey's natural wonders,
BLISS pits tradition against modernity, urban against rural and East against
West, all the while refusing to settle for easy answers.
The ending will
surprise you, unless you are used to Muslim deception.

So there appears to be another claim out there put forward by many Muslims that the coming of Muhammed is foretold or prophesied in the both the Old Testament and New Testament. I've written on the supposedly claims in the Gospel of John but this time I will briefly look at a passage in the Writings part of the Old Testament found in the Song of Songs 5:16 below. His mouth is most sweet,
and he is altogether desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem. Before we really get into whether or not this claim is valid or not I feel its necessary to very briefly discuss the book where Muhammed is supposedly being spoken about. Song of Songs is one of the shortest books in the Old Testament (117 verses) and the main focus is that of a love-song describing the love between a man and a women and describes the courtship to the consummation of marriage. Although many scholars both past and presently see the book as an allegory, I would have to agree on the side of the scholars who see it as more of a description of human sexuality between a man and a women which it clearly appears to be. Although many of the euphemisms aren't sometimes that obvious its quite clear when reading it in its surrounding context. What makes this more interesting is that it would be a weird place to find a prophecy regarding Muhammed. I mean if he were in the Good book somewhere he needn't have been so well hidden! Its as if someone were reading what they wanted into the text rather than letting the text interpret itself. What's also interesting is that Muslims believe that the Old Testament has been subjected to corruption and can't really be trusted but then want to use it as a source of prophecy for Muhammed, as we say in an old English proverb 'You can't have your cake and eat it'! So basically the argument is that the Hebrew word used to mean desirable is actually the name of Muhammed. This is because the singular term of the word Machamadim is Machmad which supposedly sounds very similar to the name of Muhammed. However an argument from similarity isn't really a very sound form of argumentation. There's a Hebrew word that's transliterated into English as Mikman which means treasure, could I then argue that as it sounds like the word for the man who delivers milk to my house (Milkman)? I mean the milk is a sort of treasure to me since as without it I wouldn't be able to have my cup of tea or cereal in the mornings! Below is a transliteration of the text in Hebrew so we can see how they make their argument. Chiku mamtakim v'khulo machamadim zeh dodi v'zeh re'i b'not yerushalayim. The problem arises because the Hebrew and Arabic languages are very similar since they are both Semitic languages, Muhammad's name derives from the root word for 'lovely' 'pleasant' and 'desirable' so its easy to see why they may at a stretch get to their conclusion, however I will demonstrate below as to why this is the wrong conclusion for several reasons. Some Problems Machamadim [מַחֲמַדִּ֑ים] is the plural form of the Hebrew word Machmad, in Hebrew the suffix 'im' or 'ym' denotes a plural ending to a word. This can be seen in the Hebrew example below: Wiseman = ChakamWisemen = Chakam[im]his mouth is sweets Hkw mmtqym
and all of him is delights wklw mHmdym
this is my love zh dwdy
and this is my darling wzh r`y
daughters of Jerusalem bnwt yrwshlm (Song of Songs 5:16) So even without the vowels we can see that Muslims would have to ignore the ym at the end of the mhmdym, it also presents another problem since mhmdym is a common noun and not a proper noun and wasn't used in the Hebrew Old Testament for any other purpose. I can prove this by looking at several verses where the word mhmdym is used but where it just wouldn't make sense if it were speaking about Muhammed. I'm the first to admit that I'm no expert on Biblical languages but one thing I do know is that Hebrew words can mean different things depending on the context, however it is simply dishonest to translate something into the word you want it to mean. That's not how honest and diligent scholars go about translating texts and its very sad to see many Muslims doing this. The word Mhmdym is sometimes translated in the Hebrew scriptures as delightful, beloved, lover, desire, lovely and pleasant depending on the context but never a name as I will demonstrate below. The same word used elsewhere in the Hebrew Old TestamentFor behold, they are going away from destruction;
but Egypt shall gather them;
Memphis shall bury them.
Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver;
thorns shall be in their tents. (Hosea 9:6)
I'm really not sure it would make sense to put Muhammed here. The enemy has stretched out his hands
over all her precious things;
for she has seen the nations
enter her sanctuary,
those whom you forbade
to enter your congregation. (Lamentations 1:10) Our holy and beautiful house,
where our fathers praised you,
has been burned by fire,
and all our pleasant places have become ruins. (Isaiah 64:11)
Its use here as a common noun makes the point I made earlier, it just fit the context to put Muhammed anywhere. And they burned the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem and burned all its palaces with fire and destroyed all its precious vessels. (2 Chronicles 36:19) This would mean that Muhammed was destroyed several hundred years before he was even born. However I doubt any Muslim will attempt to put Muhammed s name here as that clearly wouldn't make sense, obviously only in the places where it doesn't sound too wrong. but about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to you,
and they will search your house and the houses of your servants;
and whatever is desirable in your eyes,
they will take in their hand and carry away.' (1 Kings 20:6) So Muhammed was carried away by hand several hundred years before he even existed, again translating the word as Muhammed here really wouldn't make much sense. The actual context aside from the actual words used would as I pointed out at the beginning make a very strange place to find a prophecy about Muhammed. I would ask Muslims that they should actually read the Song of Songs for themselves and then every time the young women talks you should have to apply everything she said and apply it to Muhammed and you will see that this is a claim really not worth making. A Muslim counter claimAhmed Deedat in his book 'What the Bible says about Muhammed' page 29 (Note 7) states the following: Muhammad is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon 5:16. The Hebrew
word used there is Mahammuddim. The end letters IM is a plural of respect,
majesty, and grandeur. Minus "im" the name would be Mahammudd
translated as " altogether lovely" in the Authorised Version of the Bible
or "The Praised One" 'the one and worthy of praise' i.e. Muhammad! Can be viewed here. ResponseWell for starters the correct transliteration is Machamadim and not Mahammuddim, that is either a mistake or he is intentionally trying to deceive others to make it sound and look more like Muhammed. In fact the only place I can find the spelling of that is on internet forums where others have quoted Ahmed Deedat's work. Secondly the claim that 'im' is a term of respect is unfounded, one example I can think of is the word Elohim which is the word many times translated as God in the Old Testament, it is an example of the use of 'im' as a plural noun, it is not however a personal name so it fails to prove his point. The term is also not just associated with the God of the Bible since in other contexts it is used to describes certain nations false gods and corrupt judges (Psalm 82:6). There are simply no examples where the plural term 'im' has been added to a personal name in the Old Testament to denote respect or Majesty, if I'm mistaken that's for Muslims to prove otherwise. This probably more than the claims in John seems to me to be a more desperate attempt to use the Bible to foretell of Muhammed. However I'm not surprised since Muhammed tells his followers to search the Bible for him in the Quar'an in Surah 7:157 - Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. So its really no surprise that Muslims have to go through books they believe have been corrupted and untrustworthy and search for Muhammed somewhere in there. I can understand why they make theses claims but I think if Muslims honestly study these claims for themselves they will see that Muhammed is nowhere to be seen.
