All of you haters trying to criticize the Islamic Religion, do you think your religion is better? If your religion is better, please answer this three questions correctly. 1. How may times is Mary the mother of Jesus mentioned in the Bible? 2. The Bible says nobody should worship anything imagery, why do Catholics do so? 3. Why are some churches celebrating Christmas and some doesn't? As for me, I love my religion, nobody on this planet Earth will make me quit my religion. Since you were born, have you ever see a Muslim worship anything imagery? Have you ever heard somewhere that a Muslim doesn't celebrate Salah? Salam, waiting for your reply. Thanks |

fatenzy: It a good thing you love a religion that gives birth to boko haram and the rest in the middle east that are killing in the name of Islam. now i got some questions for all the Muslims: [b] 1. you claim Islam is a religion of peace, how do you justify the killing by Islamic extremists? 2. why do terrorist quote the Quran before and after killing people? 3. Does the Quran permits you to kill and force girls into marriage when they are not matured enough to get married? 4. Islam we know that Muhammad is to be the greatest prophet, but the Qur’an calls Jesus holy in chapter 11, but never calls Muhammad holy although he is supposed to be the greater prophet. why is this? 5. In chapter 18 of the Qur’an, Allah told Muhammad that the sun sets in a pool of muddy water. How can the Qur’an really be of God when this is obviously wrong? 6. How can you reconcile that in Chapter 19 of the Qur’an that it says that Mary (Miriam), the mother of Jesus was the sister of Moses? We know that Moses had a sister named Miriam, but Muhammad got a little confused here, didn’t he? He has her displaced by some 2,000 years. This happens again in chapter 7. 7. chapter 7 of the Qur’an we find Moses living at the same time as Christ’s disciples. Again, this is some 2,000 years out of the proper time. How can this be? 8. In chapters 21 and 37, the Qur’an says that all the sons of Noah were saved in the ark, but in chapter 11 it says that one of his sons drowned, that he didn’t even get on the ark. It says that he was going to go to a high mountain and save himself. How can this be? 9. In chapter 17 the Qur’an says that Pharaoh drowned in the Red Sea, but in chapter 10 it says that he survived. How do you reconcile this? 10. In chapter 7 it says Allah does not forgive shirk (blasphemy), but in chapter 4 and chapter 25 we see him forgiving shirk. How can this be? 11. In chapter 35 we are told that angels have a total of 6 wings, but it is recorded that Muhammad said that the angel Gabriel had 600 wings. How can this be? 12. Who was the first Muslim? In chapter 39, Muhammad said that he was, but chapter 7 says it was Moses, and chapter 2 says it was Abraham. 13. In chapter 7 we find that the Jews repented of their worshipping of the golden calf, but in chapter 20 we are told that they didn’t. Which is true?[/b] If you are unable to answer this questions correct with prove then know you're living in darkness. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Why Christianity Is The Only True Religion And Not Islam? by Clementor(m): 9:01pm On Oct 19, 2016 |
aminusanti: The Bible is internally consistent, and does not contradict itself. The “contradiction” is the result of the passages being taken out of the context in which they were written originally. For example, consider the following two statements. Joe is rich; Joe is poor. Do these statements contradict one another? Not necessarily. We must remember first of all that two statements which in terms flatly contradict one another may be both of them absolutely true, for the reason that the two terms are not used in the same sense in the two statements (1907, p. 80). That is exactly what has happened in texts such as John 1:18 and Genesis 32:30. The passages seem to contradict one another, but when considered in their appropriate context they do not because they are not speaking of God being “seen” in the same sense. Several illustrations of this principle can be found in Scripture. First, consider Moses “seeing” God in a burning bush (Exodus 3:2ff.). He saw a fire on the side of a mountain. When he went to investigate, he saw a bush that burned but was not consumed. As he observed this unusual sight, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” Then the voice from the burning bush echoed: “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob” (Exodus 3:6a). The text indicates that “Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God” (3:6b). As Moses spoke to the burning bush on the mountainside, was he addressing God? Indeed he was, as the passage clearly teaches. But does the passage also teach that as he looked at the bush, Moses was fearful because he considered it “seeing” God? Yes, Exodus 3:6b so states. When Moses looked upon the burning bush, did he actually “see” God? No. He saw an image that we as humans can comprehend. The bush was a representation of God—an occasion where something took God’s place. Second, consider Job’s “seeing” God in a whirlwind (Job 38:1ff.). Job made a wrongful boast that landed him in serious trouble with God. Suddenly (and unexpectedly) a whirlwind appeared before Job—from which the voice of God echoed: “Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me” (Job 38:2-3). Job looked at the whirlwind and heard God. But was God really in the whirlwind? Did Job actually see God when he looked into this magnificent force of nature? No. Instead, Job saw a manifestation of God that a human could comprehend. The whirlwind “took God’s place.” Third, consider Jacob’s “seeing” God as he wrestled with an angel (Genesis 32:24-30). He wrestled from night until daybreak with this heavenly being and eventually said: “ I have seen God face to face.” Was it really God that Jacob saw? No, he did not see God but instead witnessed a representative of God. A similar example can be found in the case of Manoah (the father of Samson), recorded in Judges 13. In this instance, the text says that Manoah and his wife were visited by the “Angel of the Lord” (13:13) who informed them of their son’s impending birth. Afterwards, Manoah said: “We shall surely die because we have seen God! (13:22). Again, it is necessary to ask: Was it really God that Manoah and his wife saw? No, they did not see God but instead witnessed (just as Jacob had) a manifestation of God via the angel. [NOTE: A fascinating parallel can be seen in Gideon’s statement in Judges 6:22 when he cried: “I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face.”] What, then is the explanation of the alleged contradiction between passages such as John 1:18, Exodus 33:20, and Genesis 32:30? How can the Scriptures state that “no man hath seen God” (John 1:18) or that “no man shall see Me and live” (Exodus 33:20), while stating elsewhere that Jacob saw God “face to face” (Genesis 32:30) and that Manoah and his wife had “seen God” (Judges 6:22)? When Jacob is represented as saying he saw God, it was only an angel of God that appeared to him in the form of a man. In Hosea it is called an angel so that in that case Jacob did not see the face of God at all, but only an angel of God. |

aminusanti:The Father is greater than the Son by office, but not by nature, since both are God (see John 1:1 ; 8:58 ; 10:30 ). Just as an earthly father is equally human with, but holds a higher office than, his son, even so the Father and the Son in the Trinity are equal in essence, but different in function. In like manner, we speak of the president of our country as being a greater man, not by virtue of his character, but by virtue of his position. Therefore, Jesus cannot ever be said to say that He considered Himself anything less than God by nature. The following summary helps to crystalize the differences. [size=13pt]The sins of the Father[/size] you think that God’s statements in Deut 24:16 imply that He (God) wouldn’t punish children for the sins of their fathers. A brief read (in context) of the verse will show you that God doesn’t say anything about what HE will or won’t do, He is merely giving a command about what MEN should or shouldn’t do. MEN are not supposed to punish the son for his father’s sins (societal rule). However GOD will “consciously” make the consequences of a father’s actions to be a point of suffering for his children in the future down to the third and fourth generation. If sin did not have consequences on others then what would make it wrong? Isaiah 14:21 is speaking metaphorically about the coming ruin of Babylon . Obviously, as in all wars innocent lives would be harmed, children were to be killed because the evil of their fathers warranted the complete destruction of the kingdom. The children however were not held guilty for their parent’s sins. This concept as well as incidents spoken of in Exod 12:29, 2Sam 12:14, Deut 23:2, Num 14:33, Rom 5:19, Noah’s flood and Sodom and Gomorrah (which all concern how God deals with sin) do not contradict Ezek 18:20 or Deut 24:16 because the latter two verses are rules for society and merely concern how MEN are to deal with sin. [size=13pt]Ascend to heaven[/size]In John 3:13 Jesus says to Nicodemus, “No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven–the Son of Man .” This verse is somewhat difficult to interpret and is often misunderstood. It is also frequently used by those who want to find contradictions in the Bible. We must keep the verse in context. In verses 10-12, especially, we see that Jesus is talking about His authority and the validity of His teaching. Jesus tells Nicodemus that He has been teaching what He knew firsthand: “We speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen” (verse 11). Then, in verse 13 Jesus explains why He is uniquely qualified to teach of the kingdom of God—namely, because He alone came down from heaven and possesses the knowledge to teach people about heaven. Jesus alone has seen the Father, and He alone is qualified to declare God and make Him known (John 1:18 ). The gist of John 3:13 is this: “None of your earthly teachers can really teach you about heaven, because none of them have actually been there. However, I have been there. In fact, it is My home. I have come to you from heaven, and I have brought with Me experiential knowledge of that place. My testimony carries weight; I can tell you the truth about salvation.” The NLT brings out the meaning well: “No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven.” In claiming a heavenly abode, Jesus was claiming deity. Nicodemus himself had already admitted that Jesus was extraordinary when he said, “We know you are a teacher who has come from God” (verse 2). Jesus was not teaching that no one had ever gone to heaven before. Obviously, the Old Testament saints had gone to heaven (or paradise) when they died (Mark 12:26-27 ), and Enoch and Elijah had been taken there without dying (Genesis 5:24 ; Hebrews 11:5 ; 2 Kings 2:11 ). Rather, He was teaching that, of all rabbis, He had the best credentials. Jesus has direct contact with heaven; He is an expert on the subject. [size=13pt]Judging[/size] there is no contradiction here but let me clear your brain But he that is spiritual - The man who is enlightened by the Holy Spirit in contradistinction from him who is under the influence of the senses only. Judgeth - Greek: "Discerns." (margin); the same word as in the previous verse. It means that the spiritual man has a discernment of these truths in regard to which the sensual man was blind and ignorant. All things - Not absolutely all things; or not that he is omniscient; but that he has a view of those things to which the apostle had reference - that is, to the things which are revealed to man by the Holy Spirit. Yet he himself is judged - Greek, as in the margin, "is discerned;" that is, his feelings, principles, views, hopes, fears, joys, cannot be fully understood and appreciated by any natural or sensual man. He does not comprehend the principles which actuate him; he does not enter into his joys; he does not sympathize with him in his feelings. This is a matter of simple truth and universal observation. The reason is added in the following verse, that as the Christian is influenced by the Lord and as the natural man does not know him, so he cannot know him who is influenced by him; that is the Christian. |

aminusanti: If after all this explanation you're still confuse, i will advice you to do what you're so called holy book said. [Quran 10:94] - And if thou art in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto thee, then question those who read the Scripture (that was) before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not thou of the waverers. but before then, kindly explain these few contradictions.

Clementor:How I wish for once you ll apply your own reasoning not other people views frm online anti islamic sites. What u are pasting above didn't xplain anything from the question but it even create more confusion by trying to put jesus same level as his own creator. This is verse 29, it comes right before verse 30, and in verse 29 Jesus says the Father is greater than ALL, this obviously includes Jesus since he is not the Father. So therefore how to Christians try and assume that this verse shows equality between Jesus and the Father is beyond me, just a verse before it Jesus says the Father is greater than everyone! Simple statement bt u people are swisting words like childs play,. Jesus claiming the Father is greater than him, so how is Jesus equal to the Father when Jesus says the contrary? But u just came up with a way of trying to explain this verse off, you say that Jesus was talking as a man here, that as a man the Father is greater than him, they try and say that the Father meant he is greater than Jesus in rank and authority and not in essence. However so what did Jesus mean in John 10 when Jesus said the Father is greater than ALL? Jesus placed himself in the category of ALL people, so therefore your fabrication response will not work for John 10:29. It must be said though that your esponse does not work for John chapter 14:28 neither, because you people argues from silence and arguing something you n your people have yet to prove. You cannot prove that Jesus has 2 natures, they can never get a single quote from the lips of Jesus saying I am man and Divine, that I have 2 natures and I gave one up and took on the man nature, this is non-existent, so therefore the response is from silence provided with no proof or a solid basis. 1-The fact is the Bible shows that the Father is greater than Jesus in essence, the Father is all-knowing and Jesus is not. 2-The Father gives Jesus everything from miracle to doctrine. 3-Jesus begs the Father to save him, obviously showing that life and death is controlled by the Father and NOT Jesus. For all these arguments the you n your fellow Christian will say as man Jesus is not all-knowing, as man Jesus receives things from the Father, however so I will kindly ask you to bring this proof from the words of Jesus, which you shall never be able to do it, this doctrine is an invention and not something to be found from Jesus. Again John 10:30 proves nothing in support of the divinity of Jesus, it does not show equality, since Jesus made it clear that the Father is greater than him, so therefore Jesus is not equal with the Father. This confusion can never be from GOD Seek knowledge pls b4 is too late 1 Like |

Clementor: The two verses still contradict each other... If Deuteronomy says to only punish a person for a crime of their own doing, then preemptively killing the sons "lest" they commit the same crimes should also be disallowed. The word "lest" in Isiah says that these sons have not perpetrated the sin yet, but that the killing of the sons is done as a military strategy to ensure that the enemy nation doesn't continue after the leaders have been eliminated. What are u explaining here pls..lol Apart from the clear contradiction in the verses u should also learn that Jesus admittedly he was born of a wowan. holy Mary, and the Bible says: "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven". (John 3:13) This shows that Jesus could not have ascended to heaven, as he was born on earth and did not descend from heaven. This matter of rising to heaven is not reported about Jesus only. Enoch and Elijah are also said to have had a similar experience. Concerning Enoch, the Bible says: "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God". (Hebrews 11:5) We read about Elijah: "And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven". (II Kings 2:11) The existence of such statements concerning other holy persons also show that there is no reason why Jesus should be distinguished from other prophets in this respect. But, the fact remains that no one ascends to heaven physically The Bible is full of inconsistencies. That contradiction is one of the least alarming things about the book.

Clementor:I laughed hard after reading this.. How funny..the Quran that u pple ddnt even bliv in it yet u are deliberately misquoting a simple to understand verse out of it or are you now a believer of Quran? Let me help you understand the verse read below pls verses from Surah 10:90-10:94 ►Surah 10:90 We took the Children of Israel across the sea: Pharaoh and his hosts followed them in insolence and spite. At length, when overwhelmed with the flood, he said: "I believe that there is no god except Him Whom the Children of Israel believe in: I am of those who submit (to Allah in Islam)." ►Surah 10:91 (It was said to him): "Ah now!- But a little while before, wast thou in rebellion!- and thou didst mischief (and violence)! ►Surah 10:92 "This day shall We save thee in the body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! but verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!" ►Surah 10:93 We settled the Children of Israel in a beautiful dwelling-place, and provided for them sustenance of the best: it was after knowledge had granted to them, that they fell into schisms. Verily Allah will judge between them as to the schisms amongst them, on the Day of Judgment. ►Surah 10:94 If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt. From Reading the Above Passages we can conclude that Allah helped the People of Israel and saved them from Pharaoh. He showerd His blessings upon the People of Israel and settled them in a beautiful place of Jerusalem. Yet they fell into groups and worked against Allah's order and were arrogant. This is the mischeif that Quran says to be asked by People of the Book. And thus, this mischief are also a part of Bible. if that was indeed what these verses were saying then they would be conflicting with the following verses in the Qur'an that indicate that the Prophet peace be upon him and the believers have believed (not doubted) in what has been revealed to them... ►Surah 2:285 The apostle believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers; they all believe in Allah and His angels and His books and His apostles; We make no difference between any of His apostles; and they say: We hear and obey, our Lord! Thy forgiveness (do we crave), and to Thee is the eventual course. Here we clearly see that the messenger and the believers have believed (not doubted) in what has been revealed to them from Allah.
You don't need to pretend, you need to believe because the violent happenings are not the teachings of Islam. And you can't judge a complete religion based on its mislead minority. One logical person doesn't judge a car for bad driving of a drunk driver. And honestly saying if you hate them, I hate them more because they're taking the name of my religion.They are not part of Islam as per Quran and the message of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ►As Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) said: “ One who hurts a non-Muslim, he hurts me and one who hurts me, hurts God.” (Hadith) ►Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "by Allah, he is not a believer! by Allah, he is not a believer! by Allah, he is not a believer!" it was asked, "Who is that Oh Messenger of Allah?" He said, "One whose neighbor does not feel safe from his evil" Also, a Quranic verse that says, ►"If anyone slays a person, it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people." And you're asking this because media is misleading you. Why does no one stood up or questions for Gaza, why no questions for Afghanistan, why no questions for Nigeria, Why no questions for Iraq, why no questions for Burma, and the list continues. But if you still think in our scripture it is allowed to kill just like the terrorist are doing now then kindly quote the Quran or hadith to back your claims. No..i don't think you are reading to know what islam is all about, that why you are posting this
Muslims believe in all the messengers(prophets) and regard every one very highly. They were extremely pious people and chosen by Allah to convey His message. There is no one better than the other and All prophet of God are holy whether mentioned or not
The verses in question are found in chapter 18 verses 83-90 of the Quran. Here, Dhul-Qarnayn is described as rightous ruler who travelled to spread the message of God. Please read these verses before reading the following. The specific verse in question Chapter 18:86 says: ►{حَتَّىٰ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ الشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغْرُبُ فِي عَيْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ} When taking a look through varyious translations we gather what the verse is actually saying: Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud... [Saheeh International] Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it set in a spring of murky water... [Yusuf Ali] [And he marched westwards] till, when he came to the setting of the sun, it appeared to him that it was setting in a dark, turbid sea [Muhammad Asad] Until when he reached the place where the sun set, he found it going down into a black sea... [Shakir] Until when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he perceived it setting in a miry spring... [Abdul Majid Daryabadi] Until, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he saw it setting in a spring of hot and black muddy water...

[Pickthall] until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring... [Arthur John Arberry] until he reached the West and saw the sun setting in a pool of black mud... [N J Dawood] After looking at a few translation of the verse it becomes clear what the verse is saying. The verse clearly says Dhul-Qarnayn travelled to the end of the land (i.e. until he reached the sea), as far west as he could travel. When he traveled west and reached the coast, there was no more land in this direction (on is route to travel westward), there was only the ocean, and the sun was setting. And as he looked across the murky body of water he saw the sun setting at the horizon
The Qur’an mentions in Surah Maryam, Chapter 19 verses 27-28 ►"At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: ‘O Mary! Truly an amazing thing hast thou brought! ►O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!’" [Al-Qur’an 19:27-28] In the Arabic construction of the sentence, sister is also considered as a descendant. Thus, when the people said to Mary, Ukhta Haroon i.e. ‘sister of Aaron’ it actually means descendant of Aaron/moses (pbuh). put forward the exact verse that mentioned that
Verses in question: ►21:76 (Remember) Noah, when he cried (to Us) aforetime: We listened to his (prayer) and delivered him and his family from great distress. ►37:77 And We made his progeny to endure (on this earth) ►11:42-43. So it (the ship) sailed with them amidst the waves like mountains, and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (apart), "O my son! Embark with us and be not with the disbelievers." The son replied: "I will betake myself to a mountain, it will save me from the water." Noah said: "This day there is no saviour from the Decree of Allâh except him on whom He has mercy." And a wave came in between them, so he (the son) was among the drowned. 1. With regards to verse ►21:76 which states that the family of Prophet Noah (peace be upon him) was saved, the Qur'an itself clarifies what it means by his "family", for Prophet Noah himself, asked God about this: ►11:45-47. And Noah called upon his Lord and said, "O my Lord! Verily, my son is of my family! And certainly, Your Promise is true, and You are the Most Just of the judges." ►He said: "O Noah! Surely, he is not of your family; verily, his work is unrighteous, so ask not of Me that of which you have no knowledge! I admonish you, lest you be one of the ignorants." ►Noah said: "O my Lord! I seek refuge with You from asking You that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have Mercy on me, I would indeed be one of the losers." Thus, here Allah distinguishes between our blood family and our true family in faith. As the Qur'an states about our family: 49:10 All believers are but brethren. Thus, there is no conflict between verses 11:42-43 and 21:76. With regards to verse 37:77, it simply states that his progeny endured and according to some narrations, it will until the end of humanity. There are some who have interpreted verse 37:77 to imply that his followers did not have any surviving descendants.
Let us first quote the relevent verses and see what they say. ►So We seized him and his hosts, and We flung them into the sea: Now behold what was the end of those who did wrong! [Qur'ân 28:40] ►So he resolved to remove them from the face of the earth: but We did drown him and all who were with him. [Qur'ân 17:103] ►When at length they provoked Us, We exacted retribution from them, and We drowned them all. [Qur'ân 43:55] It is clear from the above verses that the Pharaoh and his hosts were drowned. But it does not say what happened to the body of the Pharaoh after he was drowned. The verse below explains: We took the Children of Israel across the sea: Pharaoh and his hosts followed them in insolence and spite. At length, when overwhelmed with the flood, he said: "I believe that there is no god except Him Whom the Children of Israel believe in: I am of those who submit (to Allah in Islam)." (It was said to him): "Ah now!- But a little while before, wast thou in rebellion!- and thou didst mischief (and violence)! "This day shall We save thee in the body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! but verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!" [Qur'ân 10:90-92] that Allah saved the body of the Pharaoh as a sign to those who come after him. The most relevant explanation here would be that the body of the Pharaoh washed ashore and his folks embalmed him. So, there is no contradiction in the above verses. Rather they clarify fully the fate of the Pharaoh. It is clear for any Arabic speaker that the special mention of "in the body" (i.e. bibadanika) means clearly that it is the lifeless body of Pharaoh that was saved and not Pharaoh himself. This is confirmed by the use of the verb drown (i.e., aghraqa) in the above verses as the drowned are dead (even in English).

From Reading the Above Passages we can conclude that Allah helped the People of Israel and saved them from Pharaoh. He showerd His blessings upon the People of Israel and settled them in a beautiful place of Jerusalem. Yet they fell into groups and worked against Allah's order and were arrogant. This is the mischeif that Quran says to be asked by People of the Book. And thus, this mischief are also a part of Bible.that a bloody lie from quran, the children of israel never believed in Allah, they believed in Jehovah God from the time of Abraham. 1 Like |

Muslims believe in all the messengers(prophets) and regard every one very highly. They were extremely pious people and chosen by Allah to convey His message. There is no onesome prophet are greater than some, for the Quran to acknowledge Jesus Holy means he's greater than Muhammad. let me give you some Bible verses to show how to know a true prophet. Deuteronomy 18:21-22, "And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him." Numbers 12:6, "And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream." Jeremiah 28:9, "The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him." plz did your prophet made any prophecy that came to pass that prove him a true prophet? |

The Qur’an mentions in Surah Maryam, Chapter 19 verses The Quran confuses Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus, with Miriam the sister of Moses. The Quran identifies Mary as the sister of Aaron, the daughter of Imran, whose mother was the wife of Imran: When the wife of Imran said, 'Lord, I have vowed to Thee, in dedication, what is within my womb. Receive Thou this from me; Thou hearest, and knowest.' And when she gave birth to her she said, 'Lord, I have given birth to her, a female.' (And God knew very well what she had given birth to; the male is not as the female.) 'And I have named her Mary , and commend her to Thee with her seed, to protect them from the accursed Satan.' S. 3:35-36 Then she brought the child to her folk carrying him; and they said, 'Mary , thou hast surely committed a monstrous thing! Sister of Aaron, thy father was not a wicked man, nor was thy mother a woman unchaste.' S. 19:27-28 And Mary, Imran's daughter, who guarded her virginity, so We breathed into her of Our Spirit, and she confirmed the Words of her Lord and His Books, and became one of the obedient.

Clementor:Lol.. u are badly brainwashed honestly...I don't expect u to agree with me I just can't continue arguing with u here but I will explain to the readers and it's left to you to go and do ur research if u think is important or continue seeing it as a lie. Elohim: The first place a name of God is revealed is in the first chapter of Genesis. Did you know that Elohim is Allah? . The "im" in Hebrew is a majestic plural for GOD Almighty. The root Word is "Eloh". And the more original Jews such as Yemenites and others say Alohim or Alah-im. And when you yourself pronounce it, you do naturally pronounce it with a double "l": Allah. Jews do call Him: Allah-im. Aramaic-speaking people also call GOD Almighty Allah. Also, pre-Islamic Biblical archeological findings have GOD Almighty as "Allah". So the Original Holy Name for GOD Almighty is not Eloh. It is Allah! Eloh is a Hebrew dialect, which not all Hebrew speakers use anyway. Allah had always been the Original and Universal GOD Almighty even before birth of Judaism, and the existence Hebrew. And Hebrew is a developed language from Phoenician. 1 Like

Clementor:see another diversion again! who is feeding you with this lies abeg? You r either through ignorance or Islam-bashing continue taking the verses of the Holy Quran out of context and its history to justify your false propaganda. In order to gain a proper understanding of many verses in the Holy Quran, it is important to understand and know the historic context of the revelations. So many revelations in the Holy Quran came down to provide guidance to Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) and the fellow Muslims based on what they were confronting at that time. The verse 8:12 is one such verse which is misinterpreted. The verse and its brief explanation follows: 008.012 Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them." This verse and the verses before and after were revealed about the Battle of Badr, which occurred in Arabia in the early seventh century. A battle in which the pagans of Makkah traveled more than 200 miles to Madinah with an army of about 1000 to destroy Muslims. Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) and fellow Muslims had suffered severe persecutions and torture for 13 years in the city of Makkah. And now that they had fled Makkah and found a sanctuary in the city of Madinah, they were once again threatened. Muslim Army was only about 300 strong. God Almighty gave the order to Muslims to fight to defend their lives and faith. The enemy came to them with the intent to kill Muslims. It was a war to defend themselves and their Faith. It was a war imposed upon Muslims. And when you fight, you strive to kill the enemy during the fight. However, even during the war, Islam has the highest moral law of war. You don't kill children, women or any one who is not fighting with you. You also don't fight, if the enemy wants a peace treaty: 008.061 But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that hears and knows (all things). God Almighty also says in Chapter 60: 060.008 God forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for God loves those who are just. 060.009 God only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumstances), that do wrong. For the ignorant, misquotation is a habit they enjoy. Misquoting the Holy Quran is a sin and a shame for the one who commits such an act, as God says in the Quran: Behold! how they invent a lie against Allah! but that by itself is a manifest sin! [The Holy Quran,4:50] And He says: Who does more wrong than those who invent a lie against Allah? They will be turned back to the presence of their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These are the ones who lied against their Lord! Behold! The curse of Allah is on those who do wrong! [The Holy Quran,11:18] Imagine if the following Biblical paragraph is used in the same way the above verse is used. Muslims know that Jesus, peace be upon him, like all prophets, came with the message of peace to earth. However, a misquotation may change the whole meaning. Read: Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.'" 1 Samuel 15:3 "34 Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn " 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—“ KJV-Matthew10 1 Like |

aminusanti: nice explanation, The Quran do not see Allah as Jehovah, it is only Muslims that sees it like that . let me give you qualities of this two personalities that prove they are not the same. 1: The Qur’an teaches that Allah is the creator, all-powerful and all-knowing. He knows who you are; in fact, many Muslims believe he has fatalistically determined your thoughts, words and deeds – good and evil – and even your eternal destiny, which is why Muslims so often say, “If Allah wills it.” So, Allah does indeed know you. But Allah is not truly personal, knowable, or approachable. The Qur’an present him more judgmental than gracious. He exists as a singular unity who has no “partners.” In fact, to call Jesus the Son of God is to commit the unpardonable sin, or shirk. Of the 99 names for God in the Qur’an, Father is not one of them. In Islam, it is considered blasphemous to “presume” that one can know God or claim any sort of close, personal fellowship with Allah. He reveals his will, not himself. The God of the Bible, also is presented as the Creator. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere present. He knows us; but more than that, He is knowable and approachable. He created us in His image – with personality, thought, and will – for the purpose of enjoying an everlasting, unbreakable, intimate relationship with Him. He exists as a Trinity in eternal relationship as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In fact, God is so knowable, He came in the flesh as Jesus of Nazareth. Jer. 24:7 — I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord. They will be My people, and I will be their God because they will return to Me with all their heart. Jer. 31:34 — No longer will one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying: Know the Lord, for they will all know Me, from the least to the greatest of them”-the Lord’s declaration. “For I will forgive their wrongdoing and never again remember their sin.” 2: Allah loves not those that do wrong,” says the Qur’an (Surah 3:140), neither does he love “him who is treacherous, sinful” (Surah 4:107). “Those who reject faith and do wrong – Allah will not forgive them nor guide them to any way – Except the way of Hell, to dwell therein for ever. And this to Allah is easy (4:168-169). See also 5:49 and 40:10. Other types of people Allah hates: Transgressors (2:190). Ungrateful and wicked creatures (2:276). Those who reject faith (3:32; 30:45). Those who do wrong (3:57, 140; 42:40). The arrogant, the vainglorious (4:36; 16:23; 31:18; 57:23). Those given to excess (5:87). Wasters (6:141; 7:31). Treacherous (8:58). The God of the Bible, on the other hand, loves all people (John 3:16). His love is not a response to our goodness, but in spite of our lack of goodness. He proved His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Rom. 5: ![]() all people is unconditional. 3: Allah did not, would not, and will not die for you, nor would he ever send anyone to do so. the Qur’an teaches that Jesus did not die on the cross, but was taken up into heaven. in S. 4:157-158: "And because of their (the Jews) saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger- they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them ; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain. But Allah took him up unto Himself. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise." (that another fat lie) But the God of the Bible loves you so much He sent His one and only Son to die for you. And He stands ready to grant you everlasting life if you will receive Him by faith. (Rev.13: ![]() (2Cor. 5:21). |
