*my Confused Question About Islam* by Informer155(m): 10:00am On Aug 05, 2019 |
let me go straight! (1)Why is it that Muslims can't preach,teach or share(evangelied) what Holy Quran says to people like other religion apart from theory of one God and living good(what of the Torah and gospel).Allah SWT said: نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَنْزَلَ التَّوْرٰىةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ "He has sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel." Aal-i-Imraan 3:3. muslims should preach the Torah and gosple of Quran to people from Al-Faatiha to An-nas then.why not? (2)The stories I read in Quran about Noah,John,Zacharias, Mary,Jesus etc is so unreal,funny and dramatic compared to the BIble.world believed that Bible existed more than 6000 years before Quran so which story should I believe in? Allah SWT said: قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَل لِّىٓ ءَايَةً ۚ قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلٰثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِيًّا "[Zechariah] said, My Lord, make for me a sign. He said, Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound." Maryam 19: 10 "And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season." Luke1:20 which one is true? and so many other stories (3)Why is Quran using "we"? is God two?or is it God and his angels? or God and who? if he is one and the author of Quran, then I think " I" is the best.or could it be I can't understand? help! Allah SWT said: يٰيَحْيٰى خُذِ الْكِتٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍ ۖ وَءَاتَيْنٰهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا "[Allah] said, O John, take the Scripture with determination. And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy" Maryam 19:12 .And please which scripture is Allah talking about?is it the Quran that was given to Mohammed or how? help. (4)if Jesus in the Quran is a prophet, why don't we do what he says? where can I see his words in the Quran? beside he appeared more than Mohammed in the Quran.Allah SWT said: قَالَ إِنِّى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ءَاتٰىنِىَ الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِى نَبِيًّا "[Jesus] said, Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet." Maryam 19:30. where are the scriptures given to him(Jesus)?or is it also the Quran? help (5)I have millions of questions to ask but let me pause here.please don't be angry,answer me in a very understanding and peaceful manner I just want to know!! thanks I BEG YOU بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ "In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful." Al-Faatiha 1:1 |

Informer155: Muslims preach, teach and share the message of Islam. But we are not to invade people's privacy. What do you mean by Allah's word in Faatiha 1:1? Informer155: The Bible in it's current state is less than two thousand year old! how can you bring up this kind lie. Better confirm from your pastors! The Qur'an is dramatic but you believed the sons of God came to sleep with daughters of men in the Bible? Even Lot's daughters made him drunk and slept with him in turns one per night. This is not dramatic but extremely pornographic! Informer155: In Yoruba Language the same word used for respect is what is used for plurality. Allah uses "We" and "I" for Himself as He is able to do all things. "It is a feature of literary style in Arabic that a person may refer to himself by the pronoun nahnu (we) for respect or glorification. He may also use the word ana (I), indicating one person, or the third person huwa (he). All three styles are used in the Qur’an, where Allaah addresses the Arabs in their own tongue." (Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 4/143). Informer155: Jesus alayhi salam was a Prophet and a Messenger of Allah. Follow this link to see who Jesus is in Islam https://www.nairaland.com/4064473/what-muslims-belief-concerning-jesus The Book given to Jesus is lost. As it is not the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John or Paul and others. The Scripture was from Allah to Jesus not written by men.

I will try as little as I know to answer your question No 1 We preach other teachings of Islam but we emphasize mostly on oneness (tawheed) because without that, all worship without tawheed is a waste, unfortunately many Muslims don't understand the fundamentals of tawheed, so we tend to lay more emphasis on preaching God is one. But if you visit masjid, I mean correct masjid with a good scholar or imam presiding it, there are study circle or gatherings that takes place to tech other aspect of islam No2 Bible never ever existed 6000 years before QUR'AN. What the Quran reference to as injeel (gospel) is the preaching of Prophet Eesa and not the cumulative books Christians gathered today (books of Moses, David etc called bible). Jesus left about 600 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad solallahu alaihi wasalam. So ALLāh who revealed injeel to Prophet Eesa (Jesus) is the same who revealed other books to previous prophet is the same ALLāh that revealed Quran to Prophet Muhammad. So we believed in all the prophets and their respective scriptures. So it is our belief that the previous scriptures have been tampered with and the revealer of those scriptures spoke about them in Quran. So we believe the stories in the Quran than the previous one due to distortion that happened to the previous scriptures. No 3 Quran using we, or rather ALLāh using we to describe himself when he is just One and only without partners, we should understand that is the plural of respect. We have two types of plural, plural of respect and plural of number. Plural of number is what we used when what we described is more than one, while plural of respect is when the subject if the matter is being referred to with respect. Just like in English language when a president says we will do so so so and so or a king says we shall do so so so in our land, whereas he is just one but referring to his majesty self we because of his position. Likewise in Yoruba language, when a Yoruba boy wants to greet anyone elderly man which is just one, he says E kaaro (good morning) instead of him to say o kaaro. The È there is a plural, but plural of respect. No 4 Jesus was mentioned in the Quran fornus to know he is a prophet of ALLāh and not ALLAH or three in one as Christians do believe not is he a bastard like the belief of the jews. So we believe him as the prophet and messenger of ALLAH, who never died. He was sent to the lost sheep of Istrael and not to the whole world as Christians believe, so it is not incumbent on we muslims to follow his teachings. It was Prophet Muhammad that was sent to the whole mankind. So we believe in Jesus as the prophet of ALLāh but his teachings are for the people of Israel. No 5 If you have more questions to ask, in shaa ALLāh we are ready to provide answers to clear your misconceptions as long as u do not insult us, our religion and our prophet. I must also cherish the manner in which you have asked your question, befitting of a sane human being, I really admire that. Well done. Know that my answers have not done justice to the good questions you have asked, but at least it provides an insight to the answer which you seek. 1 Like |

No.1 √√well said No.2 I mean 600 years of Jesus life before prophet Mohammed came not 6000.And its obvious that Torah(old tastement) is older than P.Mohammed, all the incidence happened before his birth and revelation of God.so I think he copied from it or if not the Allah that narrates the stories to him is different from his ancestors (the Israelite whom he talked about Isaac, john, Jesus,etc).also the wrong deeds in the Bible is true but its not of God,that is why they do ask for forgiveness by sacrifice in those days.they stories was recorded both the good and bad aspects in the Bible. Lot is Abrahams brother but Abraham obeyed God,so whosoever did wrong in or outside Bible is wrong.check Bible no sin is accepted by God neither was any true prophet of God found doing that(And if any of his prophets;Abraham, Mohammed is/has done that its an error).that's why Jesus is sinless, pure boy,holy one among all Gods sent saviours. And the other guy said;Jesus is for Israel lol.then I think Mohammed is for Arab. If God sent Jesus and his teachings to Israel(the Israelite that Quran talked about like Zacharias,Jona,Isaac,Abraham,etc are Jesus followers then not Muslims as Quran said).And how can Jesus preach different from Mohammed to them??.then our God(one God) is not clear. And also you said;The book given to Jesus,John is lost(originally),does that mean Jesus message is not from the scriptures given to him by God? what is even the content of the book then? can a pure and holy boy,a sign of mercy to mankind disobeyed Allah by talking out of the book? when did he even lost the book,at what age?(remember Jesus died at 33 and was able to speak as infants according to Qur'an).... |

for No.3 √√ well said No 4. Why should Allah even sent Jesus in the first place to mankind while he knows that the world don't need him. let's read.... Allah SWT said: قَالَ كَذٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَىَّ هَيِّنٌ ۖ وَلِنَجْعَلَهُۥٓ ءَايَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّا ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرًا مَّقْضِيًّا "He said, Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' "Maryam 19:21 what's is Allah trying to tell Maryam and the whole world? if there are both prophets then they are important to our religion for Allah sent them to us,why then should I chose to obey Abraham and reject Mohammad or why should I obey Jesus and reject Mohammad or why accept Mohammed and reject Jesus(his own prophet)? Sir Jesus died and resurrected: let's read Allah SWT said: وَالسَّلٰمُ عَلَىَّ يَوْمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوْمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ أُبْعَثُ حَيًّا "And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive." Maryam 19: 33 Any prophet sent from God is for the whole world.I love prophets they all talked about one thing; ONE God,righteous living. But Jesus is different among them all,he is not meant from sperm like others...let's read Allah SWT said: قَالَتْ أَنّٰى يَكُونُ لِى غُلٰمٌ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِى بَشَرٌ وَلَمْ أَكُ بَغِيًّا "She said, How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste? قَالَ كَذٰلِِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَىَّ هَيِّنٌ ۖ وَلِنَجْعَلَهُۥٓ ءَايَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّا ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرًا مَّقْضِيًّا "He said, Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' " Maryam 19:20-21 so he is not born(created) of man(sex) but Allah. what a unique prophet! he performed miracle! what a unique prophet. should I dispise such great prophet from Allah and his teachings, lifestyles, words,actions?? 1 Like |

Informer155:They can and do "preach, teach and share" actually, though emphasis is on you reading and learning for yourself. After all, if the Kingdom of God is within you, why are you looking here, there and in someone else for it? Is it because the Kingdom of God is not within you yourself? |
