Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world...Then he shall say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels...And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (Matt 25:31-34, 41, 46) Postal stamp of Iran: Jesus weighing good and bad deeds on his second coming To Our Muslim friends • Surah Al-Baqara 2:285 tells to read all revealed books including Torah, Zabur (Psalms) and injeel (Bible Gospels). • While becoming a prophet, Mohammed quotes as God/Gabriel advising him "If you doubt what we have revealed to you, ask those [Jews and Christians] who have read the scriptures [the bible] before you" (Quran 10:94). Open your eyes so you won’t ignore the true God and Isa (Jesus) won’t scold you at the last judgment for not trying to know the Truth. -- Jesus and Mohammed -• What if one is much more than a prophet and the other is much less than a prophet….? Note : As you read through the pages, some of the pages may be hurting your feelings. Sorry for that. Our intention is to show you the truth, so that you will know the real God and see for yourselves many lies. Please be patient and read till the end. God is in control. if you are open minded, God will guide you. This may be a once in a life time chance for you to know the truth send by God’s plan. We also see many Islamic websites really misinterpret biblical teachings. This is an attempt to tell the truth. Muslim friends, Something for you to keep in mind • As you read following pages, you will see that even Quran and Hadiths says the following about Jesus: – – – – – – – – – – Jesus is the only Sinless, faultless person lived on earth. The Only person able to give life for lifeless ( create life from nothing- remember childhood miracle and miracles when grown up), Only one born from a virgin. The Only human being directly taken to heaven. The Only person who will come to judge the world. ================================================ Do you see the full significance of these characteristics of Jesus. These characteristics is beyond human….Read it again.. Not even Mohammed had any of these characteristics. Then why was Jesus created that way ? Do you think God created Jesus with all these characteristics just like that without any purpose……? No friends…use your reasoning…. You are missing something.. Some truths were hidden from you.. Someone had a need to suppress the characteristics of Jesus… God had a great plan for Jesus. And Jesus did something much greater than what you were taught….. That is why he had all those characteristics mentioned above. If not, tell us why should God create him so special…? You will understand it as you read these pages. Please be patient if we are using strong words and read. Miracles are proof of God’s acceptance Mohammed could not do any miracles. Jesus did mighty miracles Even Quran says about Jesus •Jesus (Isa) did many mighty miracles (Quran 4:153(?) •Jesus healed the born blind, lepers and even gave life to the dead. (sura 5:110) Jesus’ followers also did miracles in the name of Jesus, even in front of their torturers. Their Teachings with Miracles caused the spread of Christianity in the first centuries All major prophets like Moses, Elijah, Elishah, Jeremiah etc. did miracles because it was God's plan and act. Lot of miracles happen even these days in Christian pilgrimage centers and prayer gatherings. All these could do miracles beyond nature because GOD approved them. But Mohammed could never do any Miracles Quran express many times ( Quran 17:59, Quran 29:50) the frustration of Muhammad over people who kept demanding miracles as support of his claims and he couldn't do any. Quran itself says He could not do miracles. Sura 17:90-93 - When challenged, Mohammed couldn't do miracle and he says - " "Am I Lies of 21st century Islamic Apologetics: Quran itself says Mohammed couldn’t do miracle. But anything except a human messenger?". modern Islamic Apologetics and websites are shamelessly cooking up miracles now (They also cook up prophecies which even Mohammed or his followers didn’t know or Claim)!!??. •In Sura 13:7 he is again challenged heavily for at least just one miracle and he couldn't. •Later he says he want to heaven (when no one was watching) as a proof of miracle. Here is some cooked up miracle lies. Mohammed writes in Quran -- "If you find their aversion hard to bear (and would like to show them a miracle), seek if you can burrow in the earth or ladder to the sky by which you may bring them a sign. Had God pleased, He would have given them guidance, one and all. Do not be ignorant then. (Quran 6:35) " -[ This is like God mocking Mohammed. Isn’t it ? because God of Jews and Christians did mighty miracles through his prophets. It is so easy for the creator of the universe to do a miracle, if Mohammed is the final and greatest prophet. •Winning the small war in Badr was pointed as a miracle, But he lost the next war. •Splitting the Moon/Chest( In the past it was interpreted as Mohammed splitting his own chest). This is a jokenot mentioned in Quran or important books. •Shamelessly many more cooked up miracles pops up on Islamic websites. If any of these Cooked up miracles were true, •then it would have been mentioned big in Quran • and you wouldn’t see theses Quran verses mentioning that Mohammed couldn’t do miracle. ( Stop lying and open your eyes to the truth) If Mohammed couldn’t do miracle… God didn’t let Mohammed do even a small miracle even when he was constantly challenged for a miracle. This means : •God didn't approve Mohammed as a prophet, he seems to be teasing Mohammed •or Mohammed’s God is not God of all the previous prophets. The spirit in the cave is questionable. ( Muslim friend, Sorry for being blunt, but this will help to open your mind) • • Note : Many of Islamic friends say, I don't believe in miracles ( because Mohammed couldn't do any miracles). This is bad because they are making God and his previous prophets liars. Besides Quran itself says Jesus did mighty miracles. So unlike other prophets in history, Mohammed had to depend on the SWORD to teach he is a prophet ( Oh, that proved very effective as we see from the number of followers). The use of sword and silencing continues even today.. See the sword signs being glorified. Quran is teaching contradiction to bible. Everything in Islam is based on one illiterate person’s teachings…( bible had 40 authors over many thousands of years). Mohammed is saying that teachings of many thousands of years is wrong, everlasting God changed. To prove this contradictory teaching, isn’t he supposed to show a miracle that God is with him. Instead he has only sword…. ? How can someone be a prophet if he never prophesied ? Mohammed never prophesied anything….. A prophet without performing a prophecy ?! A prophet is someone who prophecies. Even pagan God’s had Oracles and prophets who could prophecy ( correct or wrong). A prophet knows what would happen in future. • • • Moses was a great leader and a prophet. David was a king and a prophet, Elia, Elijah, Isaiah, Zachariah, Micah, John the Baptist….. all were prophets. All of them have prophesied and their prophecies came true. Many prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus and even Jesus also prophesied. (eg: fall of Jerusalem in AD70, his second coming, death of St.Peter etc). 100s of prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus. Later sections shows many examples. Prophecies in the bible Mohammed never prophesied anything… He didn’t even know before eating the poisoned food that it was poisoned. Lies of 21st century Islamic Apologetics: Seeing that there is no prophecy about Mohammed, Islamic scholars and websites misinterpret biblical verses and cook up prophecies about Mohammed!? For example, Jesus told his disciples before going to heaven to stay in Jerusalem to receive the Holy spirit come on them. Bible explains how Holy spirit comes and the rejuvenated disciples set of to far away lands to preach gospel. 21st century Islamic scholars and websites preach that this holy spirit is Mohammed!?( it is a shameful joke and an act without self respect in religion. Consider what would the real God do). Hello friend, If it is a genuine prophecy, Mohammed should know about that prophecy and he should explain how that prophecy is being fulfilled in him. At least the spirit/angel in the cave should have told him. See how Jesus explained how each prophecy was being fulfilled one by one in him. So don’t blindly steal Christianity’s solid proof from God. Don’t re-write Quran now. Open your eyes to the truth. Teachings Greatest Teacher Prophet Isaiah predicts 750 years before.. “God himself will teach them” ( Isaiah 54:13). • Jesus says - “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life” (John 14:6) – So he deserves to be the greatest teacher. Some Teachings of Jesus: • Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and prophets (Mat 7:12) Sermon on the Mount (Mat5:3)Blessed are those... – Clean of heart - they shall see God, – Peace makers - be called children of God – Hunger for righteousness – will be satisfied – Merciful - they will receive mercy….etc.. • • • “Our Father in Heaven…” – Prayer that Jesus taught Love of God Everyone loves and forgive their own people. But my followers should even love and forgive even people who harm them. – ( Only a person from heaven , who knows clearly about the next world can teach this.) • • Jesus even Corrects the law of Moses which got carried away bit more- The 10 ten commandments of God was expanded further by Jewish ancestors after Moses and it started teaching “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”. ( In fact this is still the rule in some of the Islamic countries - Shari at ). No one could correct this law that was spun of from law of Moses for centuries, except by God himself.. and when God came, he (Jesus) did correct it for the new world. He teaches forgiveness. He even takes it to a level of God’s kingdom. Jesus proved what he taught by his miracles. He taught that he came to the world to teach us the truth and the way and then to die for our salvation (re-unite man and God) Contradictory teaching Jesus - Teachings from heaven - new in world • Forgive and pray for your enemy. • Loved and cared for the poor, sick, sinner and misfortunate. – • Marketing tactics of a clever merchant (Mohammed). • All are children of God. – Corrected teachings by mercy – “eye for an eye” is invalid • • • • Taught what God really is. Jesus disapproved sword. Never lied or manipulated. Proved teachings and by miracles and life,death examples. • • ---------------------Only a God can teach this- knowing the earthly fortunes and misfortunes are nothing compared to the eternity. God is in control. • Human could never comprehend this until God taught this. Jesus and bible warns about the false prophets( ) and the teaching of false angels(…) Antichrist would come and hurt the church badly. But at the end, Jesus would certainly come. Promised what market would relish. (he knew 7th century Arab’s passions) • – – – Promised Heaven for those who will fight and die for him . Heaven full of sexual pleasures. Approved attack, murder, capture booty and women if fight is in the name of Allah. Polygamy approved rejecting God’s law taught through all prophets. Enforced his teachings by sword. Arabs used to worship over 300 Gods. Knowing the advantage of monotheism, he adopted and re-designed Judeo-Christian history to the Arab world with Arab sentiments. A very doubtful spirit in cave Hira taught this to Mohammed. Removed competition by removing the deity of Jesus – If Jesus is God, no one need to fight, die, kill or even listen to him. Jesus – No other human being ever lived like him Some attributes of Jesus (Isa) in Quran Isa (Jesus) is • Blessed(Quran19:31), sinless son(19:19), the word of God(4:171), • Mercy from God and Jesus is the messiah (Quran3:45, mentioned 10 times ). • He did so many mighty miracles (4:153) [which even Mohammed could not do] . • Jesus creates (5:110) from nothing, • Jesus give life (3:49), • Isa(Jesus) was born by the spirit of the God (19:1721), not by a human father, born of a virgin. • God raised Jesus unto him (Quran - 4:158) < without allowing to be killed (as per Quran) >. But Mohammed was allowed to be killed by painful slow food poison death . Why…? • Jesus is much greater than you think. Someone didn’t tell our Muslim friends the whole story of Jesus. Sacred heart of Jesus Showing the love for mankind God made Maryam (Mary) pure, and preferred more than all woman in the world(3:42,47). from Mariam who was virgin(Quran-19:20),(3:47) .God breathed his spirit into Mary(21:91)...made Mary and Isa(Jesus) a sign for all(21:91). Why is Jesus so special ? • Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith, Hadith 4.506, narrated by Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "When any human being is born, Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers, except Jesus, the son of Mary, whom Satan tried to touch but failed, for he touched the placenta-cover instead." Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith, Hadith 4.641 Narrated by Said bin Al Musaiyab: Abu Huraira said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'There is none born among the off-spring of Adam, but Satan touches it. A child, cries loudly at the time of birth because of the touch of Satan, except Mary and her child.“ • Quran says Jesus Christ was faultless and sinless. Why was Jesus Christ faultless and without sin, whereas Mohammed was touched by Satan (above paragraph) and did a sinful life? Many times in the Quran, Mohammed is reminded of repenting his sins. Every Muslim who reads the Quran with understanding knows it very well. Why is Jesus so special ? • As per Quran, – Jesus is the only Sinless, faultless person. – The Only person able to give life for lifeless( create life from nothing-remember childhood miracle), – Only one born from a virgin, by spirit of the God(19:17-21), not born by a human father. – Done mighty miracles, could talk when he was infant, – the Only human being directly taken to heaven. • The Only person who will come to judge the world. Why was Jesus created like this ? – Can you imagine the full significance of this ? Is it for fun of God ?? No… God surely had a purpose with Jesus which he fulfilled. What Jesus did is much greater than what Mohammed did.. it is not mentioned in Quran • • ..Mohammed is hiding something. Mohammed is not telling the teachings of Jesus in Quran…since it contradicts Mohammed’s life style( war, breaking 10 commandments). • Muslim friends, there is much more about Jesus than what is mentioned in Quran. Some of them Mohammed had to admit… Mohammed had to say Bible is corruptedThen only his life has meaning. Then only his breaking of the commandments could be justified. Related attributes from bible God loves us Greatest teacher – World’s morality is influenced by his teachings. Treat others as you want to be treated by others. When you help the least of these people, know that you are helping me. I will reward you even for a glass of water that you give to your needy. Showed clearly what God is, what God wants from us. He Loved the poor, misfortunate and even sinners. Image of the Sacred heart of Jesus (wounded by a spear In the cross) represents his love for humanity. Jesus taught, “Forgive and pray for those who sin against you”. He also taught Don’t use sword or weapon but invest in heaven. Behavior of Jesus : At the cross, during crucifixion, Jesus speaks to his Father in heaven, “Father forgive them ( those who caused his crucifixion) for they do not know what they are doing (crucifying son of God)” Luke 23:34 Only someone from heaven can preach like this for the first time because only God knows that the happiness and sadness of this world are nothing compared to everlasting Life with God). • Muslims and Christians believe that Jesus will come back from heaven at the end of time to judge the good and bad people (note that it is not Mohammed who is coming since he hasn't reached heaven yet). Good people will be taken to heaven and bad to hell. . Do you think a prophet or human being can do. Only a God can do this. < Recently many Islamic schools start twisting this belief since it shows Jesus is the greater than Mohammed". Bible teaches that Jesus had the dual nature of God and Man when he was on earth. Jesus is the Only significant person in history who said “I am God” and proved it by his miracles, teachings, event’s of his life and explanation of fulfilled prophecies. (details in later pages). Analyzing Mohammed. Breaking God’s everlasting law Shame-sins-grave sins By a prophet(?) for Sexual passions and for getting followers Contradicting God’s laws – Polygamy stage 1 God created only 1 woman (Eve) for Adam. God asked Noah to take only 1 female for a male. (Not 4 female for each male). God gave Commandments through the prophet Moses "Do not Commit Adultery", "Do not covet" ( "Do not lust wife of another person“). God says it two times in 10 commandments. All the prophets, leaders and people respected and followed that Command of the God. ( one or two exceptions were before the law was given and by some kings. But never by a prophet.). 10 commandments •God instituted monogamy and hate polygamy. •Jesus hated polygamy and adultery even by thought. •It is unimaginable that a prophet would change God’s law in the holy book. •If you check the life of Mohammed, you can see how he breaks God’s everlasting law stage by stage. As he gains power, he becomes more greedy for women. She even re-writes Quran to justify his grave sins. •Divorcing a woman is so easy- Just say Talaq talaq Talaq . After the permitted number of woman, Mohamed allows followers to have slave girls. “They are slave girls whom you own". (Sura 33:52). Polygamy - Lame excuses. (don’t justify it, even God hated it ): Fundamentalist Muslim friends may defend Mohammed’s polygamy and rewriting of the Quran. They will say there was a war (as if there was no war during the time of other prophets) and husbands died so wives and daughters are alone... what to do.. etc. This is not true. Most of the marriages of Mohammed was for passion as you can see below and next pages. # Mohammed took the wife of his adopted son's only wife when he was alive ? # Woman is also considered booty and 1/5th belonged to Mohammed(8:41). After a battle one of the young soldier (Dahia) won the 15 year old Jewish widow (Safia Bint Huyay ). This old Mohammed with many wives, hears about this woman and ignores begging of Dahia and puts his dress over the captive girl thus claiming her as one of the many. # what about Aisha who was just 6-7 years old and playing with dolls (intercourse at 9 years). Isn’t it Child Molestation http://www.muslimhope.com/WhyDidMohammedGetSoManyWives.htm Polygamy - Lame excuses. (don’t justify it, even God hated it ): # some of the women - 1. Khadija, 2. Sawdah, 3. Aesha, 4. Omm Salama, 5. Halsa, 6. Zaynab (of Jahsh), 7. Jowayriyi, 8. Omm Habiba, 9. Safiya, 10. Maymuna (of Hareth), 11. Fatema , 12. Hend, 13. Asma (of Saba), 14. Zaynab (of Khozayma), 15. Habla, 16. Asma (of Noman), 17. Mary (the Christian), 18. Rayhana 19. Omm Sharik 20. Maymuna, 21. Zaynab (a third one) 22. Khawla . The girls whom Mohammed wanted had only 2 choice . 1.Become Muslim and become his wife. 2. Remain in their own religion and become his concubine. This was tough since all the adult males in their family would have been killed long back by him and there was no hope. But Mary (the Coptic Christian) and Rayhana (Jewish widow) chose bravely to be concubines (no option but to be raped in this case) rather than becoming Muslim and husband of a 60 year old man. Blessed be their names. Mohammed also raped many woman. Examples of many jewish ladies are well known. The sexual desire of Mohammed increased rapidly as he became more older. At age sixty, he married three or four times. When he was 61, he was poisoned by a Jewish lady (Khaiber – agrarian people) whose family was tortured to death by Mohammed. Out of severe pain from the poison effect, it looks like he stopped marrying for next three years until he died because of the poison effect. Unlimited Polygamy – stage 2 Mohammed became more and more lusty. He wants more girls for himself alone( for others only 7). The spirit in the cave would permit him for anything. He re-wrote the Koran saying Allah gave this special privilege only for him. ......If you have paid dowers (money to girl’s father), You may marry any number of ladies that your right hand possess. This privilege is yours alone, being granted to no other believer so that none may blame you.(Surat 33:50-51). When his wives quarreled and didn’t like when he was bringing more women. (Sura 33:28) "O Prophet! Say to thy consorts: 'If you desire the life of this world and its glitter then come! I will provide for your enjoyment and set you free in a handsome manner.' (Sura 33:30) "O Consorts of the Prophet if any of you were guilty of evident unseemly conduct, the punishment would be doubled to her, and that is easy for Allah." God lives for ever and is the controller of the universe.. He won't change his commandment on a fine day for one person's sexual desires. If Someone sanctions unlimited number of wives (even beyond 7 ) that will be from Evil- not from God. If you support this, you are making God a pimp…. Have you heard these kinds of re-writing in any other religion…. DO YOU BELIEVE HIM or his BOOK? Stealing daughter in law – stage 3 One day Mohammed sees his only adopted son's ( Zaid) only wife. He is Blinded by shameful lust though he already has many wives. Mohammed re-writes Koran, and indirectly forces his son to divorce his only wife so that he can marry her as another wife. A son (adopted, since Mohammed had no sons- probably a curse) was forced to divorce his only wife, so that middle aged father ( who has so many girls in custody) could marry her. No body, Not even the slave owners in the history have done this. It is a shame to see many Muslim still support and justifies this grave SIN on the Internet sites. You see Sunnis and Shias have different interpretation immediately after the death of Mohammed. How can you trust if they can cook up anything. Why did he Break God’s everlasting laws ? Mohammed shamelessly re-wrote Quran because of the following : 1. He became sexually pervert after he got power. 2. By promoting polygamy, he knew he will get more followers from the 7th century warrior clans. By nature, they relish on girls and the booty from attacking others. 3. He himself didn’t believe or knew everlasting God. Since he cooked up everything. 4. The spirit in the cave ( disguised as Gabriel) cheated him. 5. He knew God ( or his buddy in cave ) will approve anything like a pimp. [ from 1 woman to 4 to 7 to infinity-- Oh God..on your name. ] Muslim friend, sorry for hurting your feeling… but please think independently. Do you blindly support Mohammed ? Can you believe him or Jesus…He is not from God (many more solid examples are coming.). He will do anything to get power and women. He will even say God is not God so people will be ready to die for him (he did exactly this…when he said Jesus is not God). Jihad Heaven Ultimate bribery and force leaving no other choice for the normal man Jihad Mohammed used the ultimate bribery and deception called "Jihad heaven" for recruiting people to his army and spreading religion. As a Muslim there is 2 ways to go to heaven. One is being a holy man which is difficult from a practical angle. So fires of hell is waiting for them. The other guaranteed and even more exciting way to a heaven is to die while fighting for Islam (Jihad). All who die for Islam are richly rewarded with heaven, woman and wine.(4:74), 4:84. Some tradition says up to 72 women for each man at their disposal. In the heaven there will be a garden full of delicious food and 'houris' (beautiful and "voluptuous" girls intended for the sexual pleasure). People who die in Jihad can enjoy all these pleasures for ever. They will have great sex powers. All their sexual cravings will be fulfilled (Koran 38:51; 44:54; 55:55-74; 56:22,34-36. These sex would be more enjoyable than any sex on earth. While those who draw back from fighting are sorely punished by Allah (Quran 48:16 and 17). Lame, blind and those who are ill are exempted from the war. This gives no choice for followers but to go and die for Islam. Many people believe that Jihad heaven Can you imagine this scene – God (Allah) is waiting with 64 voluptuous girls and 2 bottle of wine. All you need to do is tie a bomb around your waist and kill two white man and you also die. If you are not sick, lame or blind and if you don't fight, then he will grill you....!!!!??! ..he doesn't need your help.............. My dear friends, God is the creator of universe who designed the path of the galaxies. If he want to kill someone, it is so easy. Mohammed didn't know how the creator of the universe behaves. He just half heard the story and ran with it to sell in big way in a new market. Many people are taught that if they don’t do adultery on earth, they will get houris in heaven. intention of this teaching is good but should we lie? Remember happiness through sex ( hormone driven), and other means are God given. Don’t be under the impression you get girls and sex after your death. Jesus Disapproving violence : Do you know that Jesus loved the poor, sick, sinner, misfortunate and everyone . He even healed the person who came to arrest him before his death. He forgives the lady caught in adultery. prays for the people who crucify him, Seeing his love even the bad tax collectors turn to God. He says don't use weapons [put the sword back, all who live by sword will die by sword-Matthew 26:52], and violence, forgive and love. Only someone from God himself can teach these kind of non-violence. Jesus teaches God as a loving God who understand us. Heaven : Jesus says "at resurrection people don't live married life, they will be like angels in heaven"-Matthew22:30. But there will full of Joy due to God's presence (Psalm16:11). Stupid Lies Virginity of “Houris” in Heaven Another lie – Houri’s virginity Mohammed’s followers were discussing about houris in heaven and they asked Mohammed “What would happen to the virginity of the houris (sex virgins in heaven) after (billions) of martyrs (and good people) have sex with them daily?” Mohammed goes back and corrects the Koran which says: "Allah created them so special that they will never loose virginity (Koran 56:36)”.!!! Friend - Do you believe these kind of manipulation ? This is what is taught to the believers. Do you trust his teaching? Over centuries, in Islamic countries, rich people used to marry 4 or more wives. The poor youth of these countries don't have enough money to give as dowry for girls, and they end up migrating to other lands for woman and life( note the recent immigration to Europe) or join Islamic Jihad groups to die as martyrs. Do you know that it is the western civilization and bible that influenced generations to understand equality of men and woman. Even Hinduism had cast system. Stupid Lies & writings in Quran Mohammed’s trip to heaven (Isra) -- ( eternal unrest in Israel) 1. Trip to heaven on a horse like creature Mohammed tells his followers that at night, He traveled from the mosque in Mecca to the mosque in Jerusalem( Hadith’s and Islamic tradition confirms it) on a horse like creature called Buraq. Then he flew to heaven on the same night from Jerusalem. When he reached heaven, He saw many levels of heaven. Abraham is in a top level, Jesus is in a lower level... Quran 17:001 Yet in the morning, people saw him reappearing from one of the rooms of his many women in his harem in Arabia!!. List of stupidities : 1. Can't he fly from Mecca to heaven directly. Why bother to travel to Israel and cause eternal unrest there? 2. Why should he need an animal to fly to heaven. 3. Why he is not riding on the flying horse at day time so that everyone can see it? After all people were demanding a miracle from him as a sign of the prophet hood and he couldn't do any miracles. So if he had done it at daytime, there was no need of sword for spreading Islam. Dear Muslim friend, Hope you are not hurt. Our intention is to make you open your mind, not to tease 4. The Mosque in Jerusalem (Al Aqsa) was built many years later. These days, people say launch pad was a rock and not a mosque. But Quran says mosque(17:1). 5. Which is more closer to heaven Mecca or Jerusalem ? If a flying animal is involved, does he have any idea about the time and distance in earth and in universe? To understand this fake story which Mohammed fabricated, you need to know the circumstances that were happening during that time. Mohammed couldn’t do any miracle. This trip was one of the miracles that people challenged Mohammed to perform to prove that his belief (Christian heresy of Ebionism ) is the right belief. People suggested if they can see Mohammed ascending to heaven and coming down with his teachings written in a book, they would believe him. They wanted to be eye witnesses (Qu 17:90-93). Mohammed failed to perform any miracle and said, "am I but a man." (Qu 17:93) So he decided to fabricate a fake story that he did it but not in front of them. He did it secretly while they were sleeping! Do you believe it ? He Chose Jerusalem since he has heard of the stories of Jesus ascending to heaven from there. Unfortunately he thought the opening of the secret passage is only in Jerusalem. Even Islamic scholars are ashamed of this cooked up lie. Even many people left Mohammed when he said this and Mohammed stopped this story but it is still in Quran. Lot of manipulation is done on the identity of second mosque. Any argument will prove the fabrication. In 20th century, new story comes up that it was Mohammed’s imagination or mind that went to heaven ! – Then Quran verses 17:001 and, all Hadiths which gives details of trip is lie. – Why does mind need a horse. Can’t mind fly to heaven directly. – Why taught this wrong teachings while, saying bible is corrupted all the while. – If it was only imagination/soul, why claim Al Aqsa mosque as the 3rd holiest place. Caliph Umr was converting St.Mary’s church (built by Justinian) to a mosque claiming it was Mohammed’s launch pad. Isn’t it shameful. Can we get it back or convert to a museum. ( remember Hagia Sophia church (Istanbul), and many others were church converted to mosque by force. . When Mohammed/his mind/soul/imagination reached heaven, Allah told Mohammed to recite the salat (ritual prayer) 50 times each day.!? Moses (who met him at heaven), however, advised Muhammad to plead for a reduction of the number as being too difficult for believers, and the obligation is eventually reduced to five prayers each day after many negotiations(50,25,10, 5 etc– copying Abraham negotiating for Sodom ). Do you think Everlasting God will instruct to do salat 50 times. If In a day of 12 hours, Muslims have to do salat once in 14 minutes. The gap between each Salat for doing other stuff is 12 min or less then. Don’t you understand it is a cooked up story. But if it was imagination/mind/soul, then he never talked to Allah. ( Anybody can say I talked to God last night in my dream). This is a cooked up story within a cooked up story. The intention of first cooked up story ( false miracle) shows Mohammed will teach anything and even write lies in Quran. Lesson : Mohammed is admitting that God won’t let you enter heaven if you follow the path of Mecca. But if you follow the path through Jesusalem (Jesus), you can enter Heaven. Quran – Is it a Miracle or illogically compiled verses? Compare Bible and Quran Bible Quran (Check if it is miraculous) •Holy bible is arranged like a historic book in a chronological order. Creation in the beginning, followed by Patriarchs, prophets, kings, judges just as it happened in history. •The prophecies and prayers of each time period are added in the order. •Then Jesus comes to fulfill the prophecies and his teachings and life explained in Gospels. Followed by the acts of his disciples followed by the letters and teachings of the disciples all in meaningful and historic sequence. •The chapters of the Quran are arranged without any logic. •It is not based on chronology, historic sequence, importance, continuity, biography of any sort. •Except for introduction, chapters seems to be arranged more or less by length - the longest chapters are in the beginning (no of verses are 286,200,176 etc. in the beginning). •Last few chapters have just 5-6 verses. •Uthman (3rd Khaliph) was in a hurry while compiling. •No other book in the world is more disorganized / unstructured. •Verses are disorderly arranged and jumbled up in unrelated subjects/topics. •Most chapters has many unrelated topics without sequence . •Same topics is repeated in many different chapters Each incident and stories are complete and explained in detail. .

Quran – as a book • http://www.islamreview.com/articles/islamiclies.shtml Too much dramatized, and deviated from Original incident. This is because Mohammed heard original during his travels, as stories from others (who might give special effects). He never knew to read Bible or Torah which is the original written centuries before. The merchant in him knew how to re-pack and re-label the product for example He always added too much Arab sentiments. – [ eg: Mary giving birth to Jesus “alone” in the desert under a palm tree (no st.Joseph, no Bethlehem) and an unknown voice asked mary to “shake the tree to get date fruits” (no mention of the song “peace on earth”). Since there is no St.Joseph, to defend Mary’s virginity, Mohammed says new born Jesus told others that Mary was virgin and that he is a prophet. Peace on the day I was born, die and raised to life again. next sentence . – In Mount Sinai (where God gave 10 commandments), he lifted the Mt.Sinai and threatened to put over the people if they don’t stop sinning. – Solomon talking to Ants Bible is well structured.

Mistakes in Quran Blunder teachings from Mohammed • Tabari I:236 "When the sun rises upon its chariot from one of those springs it is accompanied by 360 angels with outspread wings.... When Allah wishes to test the sun and the moon, showing His servants a sign and thereby getting them to obey, the sun tumbles from the chariot and falls into the deep end of that ocean. When Allah wants to increase the significance of the sign and frighten His servants severely, all of the sun falls and nothing of it remains in the chariot. That is a total eclipse of the sun. It is a misfortune for the sun." • Tabari I:234 "Then the Prophet said: 'For the sun and the moon, Allah created easts and wests on the two sides of the earth and the two rims of heaven. There are 180 springs in the west of black clay't is is why Allah's word says: "He found the sun setting in a muddy spring." [Qur'an 18:86] The black clay bubbles and boils like a pot when it boils furiously.'" • He claimed that Alexander the Great was a Muslim sent by Allah to explore the sunrise and sunset. Qur'an 18:83 "They ask you about Dhu'l-Qarnain [Alexander]. Say, 'I will cite something of his story. We gave him authority in the land and means of accomplishing his goals. So he followed a path until he reached the setting place of the sun. He saw that it set in black, muddy, hot water. Near it he found people." The Qur'an goes on to speak of punishing the extraterrestrials and of the unprotected souls in the realm of the sunrise. Errors- historic and geographic • • • Mohammed never knew the historic fact that Jerusalem was under the Roman rule at the time of Jesus. He never mentions the Roman and Jewish leaders mentioned in history and bible. He never knew Bethlehem the city of David. Still based on what he heard from Waraqa’s sect, he spreads wrong teaching about the birth and death of Jesus. Birth: As per Quran, “Mary ran away to a deserted place, alone she prepared to give birth to Jesus under a palm tree. Palm tree talked to Mary to shake it so that she would get date fruit. After child birth she doesn’t talk. But new born Jesus tells that Mary is virgin, sinless and that he is from God , peace on day he was born, the day he die etc…”. This is a crazy lie. There is no mention of St.Joseph, or Bethlehem where Jesus was born or census by Agustus Ceasor because of which Joseph and Mary came to Bethlehem (city of David) where Jesus was born as prophecied. New born Jesus or date tree don’t talk. It was the angels who sang, “peace on earth”. Again if you believe that new born Jesus did talk, then believe also what he said, the day he dies. Death of Jesus: Mohammed says it was Jews who tried to kill, infact killed his disciple etc. There is no mention of Romans !!. Uneducated Mohammed who lived 600 years later had no clue of the history - that it was Roman soldiers who executed the crucifixion not Jews. Jews demanded death of Jesus since Jesus said he was son of God (blasphemy as per some of them). Abraham never went to Mecca. According to Judaism, the Bible, The Dead Sea Scrolls and all encyclopeadias, Abraham took the same route with his family, sheep, donkeys, etc, journeyed from Ur in Chaldea (west of Basra in Iraq) to Haran, Turkey (directly northwest along the Euphrates river) and down through the Beka Valley (Syria/Lebanon) to Shechem, Hebron (in Israel), Egypt (near Alexandria) and Beersheba back in Israel along the common fertile land route. (If Abraham went to Mecca not only his sheep, donkeys and his people would have died due to the desert and lack of water, but it was not the route used in 1900 B.C. through those desolate deserts). He lived and died and is buried in Machpelah in Hebron and it is a lie to say that Abraham ever went to Mecca to build the Kaaba. There was no Jewish youth by the name of ‘Abraham’ as the Quran claims. His name was changed to ‘Abraham’ only at age 99. If this Allah is God, he should have at least got the original name of Abraham, right? Why is circumambulating the Kaaba 7 times a pagan ritual (2:158) if Abraham built it and purified it according to Allah (2:124-5)? Why would any Jew ever build anything for the Arabs, either before or today? If a Jew built the Kaaba, why doesn’t it look like a Synagogue, but as a common Mandabum (Hindu God house for Idols with one door) of a Hindu temple? Why are there 360 idols in the Kaaba and why practicing the 7 circumambulating of the Hindus? THINK - Has any Jew ever built a Cube-house of God, anywhere in this world or circumambulating 7 times? The truth - Kaaba was a Hindu Temple, high jacked by Muhammad to create Islam. See the article, “The Invention of Islam.” Did Allah transform Christians &Jews into apes & pigs? • Quran says it, in three different verses: 7:166, 2:65, and 5:60. that Allah turned Jews into Apes and Pigs since they broke Sabbath (worked on Saturday). • 7:166 But when even after this they disdainfully persisted in that from which they were forbidden, We said to them, "Become apes—despised and disgraced!" (Maududi) . • 2:65 And you know well the story of those among you who broke Sabbath. We said to them: "Be apes—despised and hated by all." 66 Thus We made their end a warning to the people of their time and succeeding generation, and an admonition for God-fearing people. (Maududi). • 5:60 Then say: "Should I inform you [People of the Book-Christians and Jews] of those, who will have even worse recompense from Allah than the transgressors? They are those whom Allah has cursed; who have been under His wrath; some of whom were turned into apes and swine; who worshipped taught [the devil or idols]; those are the people who are in a far worse plight and who have turned farthest away from the Right Way." (Maududi) Historical errors in Quran • Another interesting historical glitch occurs when Allah erroneously calls Mary the sister of Aaron in Qur'an 19:28, and the daughter of Imran (the Biblical Amran) in 66:12. While Miriam and Mary are the same name, the first Miriam, the sister of Aaron and the daughter of Amran, died 1,500 years before Mary, the mother of Yahshua, was born. (18:28; 66:12; 20:25-30) • Mohammed completely ignores St.Joseph the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus. • Allah's insistence that Nimrod was a contemporary of Abraham. • Qur'an 18:86 states, "Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found sun set in a spring of murky water: Near it he found a people: We said: O Dhu al Qarnayn..." The sun does not set in a muddy spring. There are no extraterrestrials living where the sun goes to bed, and no human - and that would include Alexander the Great - has ever visited with such creatures. Scientific errors in Quran • surahs 16:15; 21:31; 31:10; 78:6; 88:19 tell us that Allah threw down mountains like tent pegs to keep the earth from shaking. Truth is opposite . Mountains were built up, not thrown down. Rather than create stability they are the result of instability. Colliding tectonic plates push up the earth's surface forming all non-volcanic mountains. • Qur'an 16:66 says that cow's milk comes from between the excrement and the blood of the cow's abdomen. That doesn't make sense, and it isn't true. • In Qur'an 16:69 we're told that honey comes out of a bee's abdomen. That's not true either. Then, Qur'an 6:38 claims all animals and flying beings form communities like humans. While some do, most don't. • Qur'an 25:45 maintains that the sun moves to create shadows. • For a list of many errors in Quran check http://answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/ Theological error • • Qur'an 5:116 represents Christians as worshipping Mary as the third member of the Trinity. The Qur'an says: "Allah will say, O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to the people, Make me and my mother idols beside Allah?" -Christians treat Holyspirit as the third person , not Mary. Copying popular stories : • Qur'an 18:9-25 tells the story of "some youths and a dog who sleep for 309 years with their eyes open and their ears closed" – rip van winkle • In Qur'an 11:81 and 15:74 the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are turned upside-down with angelic wings. Geographical errors • Mohammed said Jesus was born on a desert under a palm tree. In reality he was born in Bethlehem. • Mohammed went on a flying horse from Mecca to Jerusalem to heaven. • Alexander and Mohammed travelled to the muddy pond where sun sets. There they saw some people who was judged by Alexander. • Bukhari:V4B55N549 "Allah's Apostle, the true and truly inspired said, 'As regards to your creation, every one of you is collected in the womb of his mother for the first forty days, and then he becomes a clot for another forty days, and then a piece of flesh for forty days. [Four months of pregnacy, not nine.!?!] Then Allah sends an angel to write four words: He writes his deeds, time of his death, means of his livelihood, and whether he will be wretched or blessed. Then the soul is breathed into his body. So a man may do deeds characteristic of the people of the Hell Fire...but he enters Paradise. A person may do deeds characteristic of Paradise...but he will enter the Hell Fire.'" • The Qur'an says: Qur'an 5:31 "Then Allah sent a raven who scratched the ground to show him how to hide the shame of the dead body of his brother. 'Woe is me!' said he; 'Was I not even able to be as this raven, and to hide the dead body of my brother?' Then he became full of regrets." The false notion in Qur'an 2:55-6 and 67 that Moses was resurrected. The Qur'anic myth in 7:171 of God lifting up Mount Sinai and holding it over the heads of the Jews as a threat to squash them if they rejected the law The making of the golden calf in the wilderness, in which the image jumped out of the fire fully formed and actually mooed (7:148; 20:88) Muhammad, or whoever compiled the Qur'an, incorporated parts of the religion of the Sabeans, Zoroastrianism, and Hinduism into Islam. He adopted such pagan rituals as: worshiping at the Ka'aba, praying five times a day towards Mecca, the zakat tax, and fasting in Ramadhan • • • • Who really corrupted the holy books Mohammed says Bible is corrupted. So far you saw many lies by Mohammed. But finally he attacks God -Holy Trinity. Please be open minded …… Mohammed teaches that bible is corrupted. But do you know there is a clear motive why Mohammed had to say this….. Muslim friends, please use the simple reasoning power that God gave you to understand the lies… Which book is correct? use common sense that God gave Bible authors: Quran author: It is written by 40 authors Over a period of few thousands of years. The clear history of God’s protection, teachings and prophecies are consistent and self proving. was written by only 1 person. Who says all these 40 authors and history are wrong !? There is no one else to confirm the validity of his totally conflicting theory. Authors are who contacted God directly and are eye-witnesses. Mohammed didn’t even know the cruel spirit was angel until his uncle Waraqa told him hoping Mohammed will follow him as a Christian priest. Mohammed was uneducated - never seen scriptures. He heard bible history/teachings during his travels. The merchant in Mohammed saw the popularity of Chistianity was so popular. All the authors were well educated They knew all previous prophets from childhood. Quran itself says twice to refer Bible incase people doubted him(10:94 and 2:285). Quran was re-written by Mohammed for own sexual passions and satanic verses. Some Bible translations may have few errors due to translations and since some books are over 2000 years older. Quran is 1000 years newer and written only in Arabic and the size is less than10 percent of bible. Still it has many errors and blunders like Mohammed saw sun setting on muddy pond when he traveling with Alexander. Mohammed used sword to spread Quran. Religion grew because of political power. Wrong teaching of Jihad, intolerance. Never had to use force to teach their teachings. History says all followers of Jesus martyred. Never used weapons or had political powers. Which is the corrupted book Mohammed says bible is a corrupted book many times in Quran. ( If he says bible is corrupt But he also says, refer Bible incase his followers have doubt. What is corruption-Changes in translation or intentionally breaking God’s laws/teachings Christian Mohammed God gave the 10 commandments. Jesus and all prophets followed it. Jews, Christians keep it sacred Ignores them in Quran. Breaks these laws ( kills, steals (loots) , desire/steals wife of others, commit adultery-polygamy. God hated polygamy- So gave 10 commandments Jesus hated sexual immorality. Openly brings polygamy( 7 wives). Re-writes Quran so that Mohammed can have unlimited wives [sua 33:50-51] . ( isn’t it corruption) No human being steals son’s wife (even if adopted) only wife. Jesus warns against doing adultery even in heart Steals only wife of son. Re-writes Quran to justify (isn’t it corruption / sin promoted by Satan himself). Mohammed said his followers could pray to AlLat, Al-Uzza and Manat (daughters of Al-lah the moon God) Worship only God Mohammed initially wrote followers could worship these three deities. (Quran 53:21-23). He later Jesus came& died on cross ( became sacrificial lamb) Jesus came to be sacrificial lamb of God to reunite God with sinful mankind. To fulfill 100s of prophecies. His disciples died for this truth. They also could have preached that Jesus went to heaven directly. changed Quran and said they were inspired by Satan. Hence called satanic verses. Mohammed says Jesus didn’t die, bribed/promised heaven for his disciple to die in his place, then went to heaven. One lie after other… Death of Jesus Abraham answers his son ( as a prophecy). “God Himself will Provide the sacrificial Lamb” (Abraham 1; Genesis 15-17; Genesis 21-22) Other prophets also knew this prophecy and the prophet John the Baptist point’s to Jesus and confirms it. “Behold, this is the lamb of God” John 1:29. Mankind offered many sacrificial objects over the centuries to reunite with God. Finally God himself brings the everlasting sacrificial lamb (Jesus) for reuniting with us. Why Lamb of God Innocent Abel First gift of mankind To the creator….., followed by the sacrifice of a Pure human. God created mankind with all their weaknesses and free will… At the fullness of time, God provides everlasting ransom for our sins. Jesus preparing Abraham about to Sacrifice his own promised child. ( The only time God asking for human sacrifice-to test) On the first pass-over night before rescuing his people from centuries of slavery, God tells them to apply blood of the lamb on the door steps for rescue and to celebrate it every year. as an everlasting covenant.. Jesus becomes the Lamb of God on the Pass overnight Generations to generations People come to celebrate The pass over in Jerusalem Poem “lamb of God, thinking of us, even when he is sinking in blood” Why Crucifixion In Olden times, mankind used to offer food (produce) and animal sacrifice to God for the forgiveness of sins. In reality God does not need money or food, but he accepted it anyway because it was a symbol of man’s commitment. But mankind continued to sin forgetting God. Finally as the situation of mankind became hopeless, the loving God sends his son Jesus for the final covenant with humanity. He comes as the greatest teacher ever, showing the path to God. He also shows us the power, mercy and love of God. Finally, to fulfill God’s plan and many prophecies, Jesus chose to die on the altar of the cross. He is the eternal and final sacrificial lamb of God for the sins of all mankind. In the churches during the holy mass, we reenact this sacrifice, symbolically as directed by Jesus. "Prophet Isaiah, wrote the following around the year 740 B.C "He was arrested and sentenced and led off to die,…. He was put to death for the sins of our people’’-Isaiah 53:8 He was led like a lamb to the slaughter - Isaiah 53:7 Prophet John the Baptist points to Jesus and says, “There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!.....He is the Son of God" (John 1:29,34) In the last supper Jesus says, ‘’This my body and blood which seals God’s covenant…It is poured out for the forgiveness of the sins..’’ Matthew 26:28 Jesus says, “I came to give my life as a ransom for all” (Matthew20:28). His blood was poured out for others (Matthew 26:28). Details of crucifixion At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to death penalty by crucifixion. That was then the “worst” death. Only the worst criminals could die like Jesus. And with Jesus things were worst, because not all the criminals condemned to death could receive nails on their hands and feet. Of course, nails... Big nails! Each was 15 a 20 cm long, with a point of 6 cm. But nails would cause faster death. Another point was sharp. The nails were craved into the pulses (wrist), and not into the palms, as the artists shows. In the pulse, there’s a tendon which extends till the shoulder, and when the nails were being hammered, that tendon broke, obliging Jesus to reinforce all the muscles of his back, so that he could breath as He was loosing all the air from his lungs. In this way, He was forced to support Himself onto the nail craved in his feet, which was bigger than those craved into his pulses, for both feet were craved together. And, as his feet could not endure for long time without tearing, Jesus was forced to alternate that “cycle” so that He could breath. • Jesus endured that reality over 3 hours. Yes, over 3 hours! Long time, isn’t it? Few minutes before He died, Jesus was not bleeding anymore. • He was simply pouring water from his cuts and holes. When we imagine Him injured, we only picture Him with injuries, but it is not enough; His wounds were true holes, made in his body. • He had no more blood to bleed, He only poured water. Human body is composed by near 3.5 litres of blood (for adult). Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his members; a crown of thorns on his had and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who nailed a spear into his chest. All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometres, while the crowd spat on his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed). Jesus’s dies after all the blood is drained out, naked, humiliated and in extreme pain for our sins. Medical Analysis of Jesus’ death • • • • Jesus was scourged by the Roman soldiers. • Their typical whips had metallic hooks and balls at the end, that would pull out the flesh and skin from the victim’s body. Minimum number of whip was 40. Bible says, Jesus was especially treated badly (spat, beaten • on the face, placed a cap of thorns to the head and mocked as king and prophet). A sleepless night and after the trials, he had to carry the cross to the hill. He fell with the cross many times. Each fall on the face and chest with heavy cross is fatal that might • rupture the heart and without rest will worsen the heart. He was too weak to walk and soldiers want to crucify him alive so they forced another Jew to support carrying the cross. Still tradition shows Jesus falling. • At Galgotha, the cloths that got stuck to the wounds were pulled out causing more pain. He was then nailed to the cross by the Roman soldiers who were expert killers. Normally the victim die of Suffocation since for each breath victim has to lift up the body on the 3 nails, causing extreme pain. The pain and suffocation would increase as time • goes by. Many victims die of heart failure also. • While Roman soldiers killed, Jewish leaders were making sure Jesus died and even got soldiers to guard the burial place. The following day was the most important Sabath (so body’s should be removed from cross) and Romans want to finish of the work quickly since they started torture the previous night. Jesus was dead and was leaning head to one side. Roman soldiers, are expert at crucifixion. They had to ensure death of the victim, just as a captain of a firing squad in modern times fires a final bullet into a victim's head. If the victim escapes, the soldier will be punished. So one of the soldier lanced the spear at the heart of Jesus. An upward thrust with a spear on the side will cut through the heart, lungs etc. Disciple John records that immediately water and blood flew out of the heart. It showed that Jesus' heart had already stopped beating. Blood from the earlier rupture from falling had filled the pericardium( the sac around the heart). Blood naturally separates into red cells and serum as it sits, so the liquid looked like blood and water. Such a flow was so different from regular bleeding that John made specific reference to it. Days later St.Thomas his disciple would put his hand inside the wounded chest for final testing. Experienced Roman knew by experience that he was dead. Else he would have done other steps to kill instantly. Error in Quranic version-1 • Quran is full of contradiction about the death of Jesus. There is no single answer, they come up with different theories that Mohammed heard from Waraqa and the cults who had different theories about the death of Jesus . Mohammed never knew to read gospel of the eye witness or the prophecies. • 1. Quran Contradicts : Quran mentions the words of Jesus only on one occasion. The new born Jesus says the following “Peace on the day I (Jesus) was born, the day that I die, and the day that I will be raised up to life Sura 19:33”. If God made the infant child to say “the day he die”, won’t it become true. Doesn’t God knows the future. Analyzing the Quranic error-2 Quran says : “Allah changed the face of one his disciple to look like Jesus when soldiers came to get him…...” This disciple would get instant heaven” ( Isn’t it like Jihad heaven Mohammed offered to soldiers as a bribe to die in the battle for him ? ). Once the disciple agreed (not sure how the negotiation took place), Allah changes his face to look like Jesus. So the soldiers caught him and crucified him instead of Jesus. This is a big lie. explanation 1- What would Jesus Do (WWJD)? • Jesus preached so much: – – – – • • • about Jesus being the sacrificial lamb and how the prophecies should fulfill in him. He even said , “the greatest love that anyone can give is to die for other….” “This is my blood which shall be poured for the forgiveness of sins of mankind. Jesus says, I am the good shepherd – Good shepherd dies for the flock. Wheat grain…. Do you think after teaching all these , will Jesus let his disciple die in his place and watch him die. (It is like a dupe of a movie star who does the bad part). Mohammed probably would have done that, but not Jesus. In fact when soldiers caught Jesus, he says , “If you are looking for me, then let these others go”. Jesus said this to fulfill the prophecy, “Father I haven’t lost even one of those you gave me” (John 18:9). Isn’t it a great crime to say that such a Jesus would give his disciple to die, while he watch it with a bribery of heaven. Contradiction 2 : Quran says Jesus is sinless, if he let his disciple die instead of him, will he be sinless. Analyzing the Quranic error-3 Allah doing a very cheap Miracle If Allah think death of Jesus is humiliating, why did he do this very cheap miracle. Isn’t it running away with Jesus while leaving a disciple behind. 1. 2. 3. Allah let a poor nameless disciple get killed for no apparent reason. ( He is still nameless even after doing such a great deed). Why is his name not in the Quran. Didn’t the spirit in the cave know the name? If Allah can lift up Jesus to heaven, do quick face change miracle and if he is the creator of the universe, can’t he save this disciples also. Why should Allah leave the dummy of Jesus suffer a very painful death, while every one is watching. Only such idea can occur in the mind of very low people. If Jesus didn’t become the “lamb of God” and “the salvation act” was not done, what is so special about Jesus. why should Allah take Jesus to heaven when No other human beings have gone to heaven alive. Even Mohammed and Abraham had to die. What is so special about Jesus ? Mohammed is lying . He makes one of the biggest mistake by simply cooking or copying a wrong theory ( created by satan ). He didn’t know the prophecies or read the scripture written by the eye witness. Otherwise he was instructed by Satan, the only thing who didn’t like the death of Jesus. Analyzing the Quranic error– 4 So Quran agrees that based on the instruction of Jewish leaders and priests, the Roman soldiers did come after Jesus and disciple. Mohammed (Waraqa’s sect ) also agrees that his disciple was arrested and tortured and was crucified on the cross. 1. 2. 3. 4. Quran says Jesus was a very nice, the only sinless man born. He cured so many people from their sickness. He taught to love everyone, even the enemies. Now a question – Why did Jews try to kill Jesus ? If he was such a nice man.????? According to bible, the only reason why Jews didn’t like Jesus was because Jesus said he was son of God( blasphemy according to Jews who didn’t became Christians.) Do you think Jesus will tell lie. If he is sinless he will not lie. So we have to agree that what Jesus Claimed is true. Heart of Jesus pierced by Roman specialist in charge of execution Verification of death • • • • Did you know St.Thomas (called doubting Thomas), one of the apostle of Jesus had declared, “Unless I see in his hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into his wounded side (wound by the spear), I will not believe that he rose from death.” Jesus appears later in the closed room and asks Thomas to put his hands on his side (wound). After seeing the wounded chest (pierced by the spear of the expert Roman soldier who is supposed to make sure the execution), all the doubts Thomas vanish about the son of God. He declares “My Lord, My God”. He then goes just like the other disciples to the distant parts of the globe to preach Gospel. St.Thomas reaches finally in India, preach Gospel and becomes a martyr there. Will he ever do it, if he know it was a duplicate that died and became lamb of God. Is Mohammed says Only Allah and Jesus knew this face change fake. Remember Jesus’s mother and his close disciples knew him for years (since they lived with Jesus day and night and knows his body features even if Allah changed the face). Jewish leaders also knew Jesus well, were all watching this crucifixion, including his burial, resurrection. They would know sooner or later that it was the dummy that became the lamb of God ! And they would have never tried to spread the Gospel of Jesus. Why did Jesus’ followers died for Gospel ? Because they knew Jesus was God. History shows that early Christians were persecuted for over 300 years. All the disciples (except John) and most of the early followers were martyred (especially by the Roman empire). Just like Jesus, they were pious and never fought back. There was nothing earthly to gain by being a Christian in those times. They could have avoided death and persecution by rejecting Christ conveniently The only reason why the early Christians accepted martyrdom rather than rejecting Jesus was because they were the eye witness and they knew Jesus was God. Proof from Early Christianity and common sense • • • The history shows that all the followers and disciples of Jesus died as a martyr in different parts of the world. (except John who died of old age in exile in Island of Patmos, Judas committed suicide and fulfilled 2 prophecies ). They never took weapon or riches but they preached the great teachings of Jesus and the death and resurrection of Jesus. Many Christians in the first 3 centuries died as martyrs in Roman amphi-theaters (fed to the wild animals , torched on roadsides) and different parts of the world. They did all these because they saw and believed… If the God’s plan was a dummy Jesus dying on cross they would not have gone to die while preaching. Again if death was unimportant but to heaven, they would have preached the same. Why should all the disciples introduce the death of Jesus if Jesus himself and disciples didn’t believe in crucifixion. Remember crucifixion was treated as humiliating until then. Why should anyone introduce and glorify crucifixion if Jesus don’t want it and if there is no special advantage to it. They would never disobey Jesus for a lie and on their way to personal death while preaching Jesus. In Roman amphitheater, Christians chose death than rejecting Jesus. (burned, crucified and fed to animals) person Preached death Simon peter First pope in Rome Crucified upside down under Nero in Rome. James bishop in spain. dies of sword John Ephesus(Turkey). exile in Pathmos Old age Historians says death of Jesus • • Again how could all of them in different parts of the world cook up same story……Bible says a consistent story of the eye-witness. Quran says an uneducated Mohammed who never read history or scriptures. He simply quotes Waraqa’s sect’s theory cooked up in a different part of world after centuries. Historians have mentioned the death of Jesus - Alternate teachings • • There is contradictory teachings in Quran about the death and resurrection of Jesus. Mohammed just copied what he heard from warraqa and other Christian heresies. Various sects in Islam teaches different versions on the death of Jesus. Why don’t they believe Prophecies or the account of the eye-witness. Why do rather believe Some say just at the time of Mohammed says Jesus didn’t die, bribed/promised heaven for his disciple to die in his place, then went to heaven. One lie after other… Sample Prophecies–related to death of Jesus Old Testament prophecy New testament There are over hundred prophecies fulfilled in Jesus. From his birth to resurrection. Here we show only the ones related to death since that is what cause discrepancy. You may have to read additional books to know the full implication of these prophecies. The Jews of Jerusalem in first century exactly knew each of these prophecies (even though they may not look obvious for you) and they could correlate the fulfillment. Jesus taught disciples how to correlate prophecies with fulfillment. Be Passover sacrifice with no bone broken , without blemish- Apply it’s blood for protection – On the first pass over God saved his people from the slavery of Egypt. The blood of the sacrificial lamb was the sign which saved them. People still continued to sin. After many generations Jesus comes for the whole world, to teach us God’s ways and to be the everlasting sacrificial lamb to save us from the slavery of sins and to reunite God and mankind. God commands his people( through Moses) to sacrifice a lamb and eat it’s body during the first pass-over. They should celebrate pass-over every year for all generations. (Exodus12). Jews used to come to Jerusalem on the week of pass over. Isaiah 53:7 He was led like a lamb to the slaughter Isaiah 53:8 "He was arrested and sentenced and led off to die,…. He was put to death for the sins of our people’’ Numbers 9:12 They must not leave any parts ( of the sacrificial lamb) of it till morning or break any of its bones. When they celebrate the Passover, they must follow all the regulations. Exodus 12:46 It must be eaten inside one house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones. Jesus dies like the lamb of God in Jerusalem on the feast of pass-over. Prophet John the Baptist points to Jesus and says, “There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!.....He is the Son of God" (John 1:29,34) In the last supper Jesus says, ‘’This my body and blood which seals God’s covenant…It is poured out for the forgiveness of the sins..’’ Matthew 26:28 John 19-31-36 ... But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs .... These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken. “Also Psalm 34:20 . John 1:29-36; 1 Corinthians 5:7-8; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Revelation 5:6-13; 7:14; 21:22-27; 22:1-4 Be - betrayed by a friend – Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot – his companion and disciple to fulfill prophecy Psalm 41:9 Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. Psalm 55:12-14 If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe were raising himself against me, I could hide from him. But it is you, my companion, my close friend, with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship as we walked with the throng at the house of God. Matthew 26:14-16 Then one of the Twelve ... the one called Judas Iscariot ... went to the chief priests and asked, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" . . , Matthew 26:23 Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me." Also Matthew 26:47-50; Luke 22:19-23, 48; John 13:18-30; 18:2-5 Stunning Prophecies–related to death of Jesus Old Testament prophecy New testament Have hands and feet pierced ( Only during the killing by crucifixion does anyone’s hands and legs pierced. Crucifixion was not even invented by the Romans when this prophecy was done by David and Zachariah. Crucifixion was also practiced only for a short period in history. This stunning prophecy for future generations ( you and me) explains the timeline in history when Messiah will come and die and the exact nature by which messiah will be dying )– David ( One of the most beloved by God) the prophetic king had a natural death, but after 40 generations, his offspring dies fulfilling his prophecy word by word like a FINGER PRINT proof. For dogs have surrounded me; the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me : they pierced my hands and my feet. [ Bible-Psalm 22:16 ] Zechariah 12:10 ". ..They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as ... for a firstborn son. Revelation 2:7 (future) Look who is coming on the clouds, All will see him (Jesus) including those who pierced him. Matthew 27:35 ... they had crucified him ... Also John 19:18, 34-37. Thomas the disciple of Jesus touched and verified) . . "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands ... and put my hand into his side( side and heart was pierced by the spear), I will not believe it.“ John 20:25-29- Jesus said “Thomas, reach out your hand and put it into my side." Have soldiers cast lots for his coat Psalm 22:18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing. John 19:23-24 ... This garment was seamless . . . "Let's not tear it," they said to one another. "Let's decide by lot who will get it." Also Matthew 27:35; Mark 15:24; Luke 23:34 Be thirsty during his execution Psalm 22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.. John 19:28 Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." The 30 pieces of silver and buy the potter's field with that money Zechariah chapter 11: 12: And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 13. I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD to the potter. Matthew 27:3 Judas ( after realizing his mistake of betraying Jesus) returned back the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders... Mat 27:10 ( After Judas killed himself) They decided to use the money to buy the potter's field…… Jesus’ own words After the death and resurrection of Jesus, when his disciples were traveling to Emmaus, Jesus join them on the journey. They were troubled at the death and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus scolds them “How slow you are to believe everything the prophets said..!. Was it not necessary for the messiah to suffer these things and then enter into his glory..?" And Jesus explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself in all scriptures with books of Moses and the writings of all the Prophets (Bible-Luke 24:25-27). • • • • In another occasion Jesus appears to all disciples. He showed them his wounds, ate food with them. He explained how psalms, books of Moses and prophets had to come to true, ”The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day… in his name the message about repentance and the forgiveness of sins must be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem’” (Bible-Luke 24:45-47). Much before the death of Jesus when they were in Galilee, Jesus spoke three times about his death to his disciples. “In Jerusalem, he will be handed over to men who will kill him. Three days later he will rise to life” (Mark 10 :32-34). When disciples rebuked Jesus from speaking about crucifixion, Jesus asks them, “ “Why then is it written that the messiah must be rejected and suffer much ?” (Bible-Mark 9:12;). He even scold St. Peter when he tries to persuade Jesus away from potential danger . St.Thomas says, “Let us also go and die with him”. Jesus told his disciples -- Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, 18"We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death 19and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!“ Matthew 20:17 Jesus’ own words Jesus Predicts about his crucifixion . Jesus told Nicodemus (Jewish leader who believed in Jesus) that “Just as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the desert , Jesus also must be lifted up (on the cross) so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. (John 3:14). For God loved the world so much that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life”. [Note: During the Jewish escape from Egyptian slavery, people sinned and the snakes started biting them in the desert. When people repented, God asked Moses to make a bronze snake and lift it up on a pole, so that whoever looks at it will escape from death & sin (Numbers21:9). Jesus is telling that similarly Jesus also must be lifted up (on the cross) so that whoever turns to him will have eternal life.] Once Jesus took his close apostles and went as usual to the mountains to pray. Their his transfiguration took place for sometime. His body and dress changed to be like heavenly. Moses and Elija appeared with him and the voice of God the father announced, “This is my own dear son… Listen to him”. Later as they were coming down the hill Jesus instructed the terrified disciples not to speak of the event until the death and resurrection of Jesus. (Matthew 17:1-13) The Son of God dying to restore the covenant “..and he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for our only but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 2:2 Jesus could have easily escape crucifixion and continue his teaching ministry, but his main ministry was death itself. Jesus dies in the altar between the heaven and the earth, on a cross connecting eternal father and we the mankind. Historical Analogies : One of the greatest night of ancient history was the pass-over night. The blood of the sacrificial lamb on the door step saves the people from the wrath of the almighty. Abraham is the forefather of three modern religions. The only time God asks for human sacrifice ( as ultimate challenge of faith ) was to Abraham. Abraham almost sacrificed his only son to please God. God was pleased at the faith and God stops the sacrifice. God makes a covenant and a big promise…. Generations later at the fullness of time, Almighty God sends his own son as the eternal last sacrificial lamb for the world. Dies to restore the covenant of God and man St. Paul reminded the Galatians that “before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified” (Bible-Galatians 3:1). Jesus also says that he died “for our sins” (1 Corinthians 15:3; Gal. 1:4). “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree” (1 Peter 2:24; 3:18). The gospel reveals that God acts righteously in forgiving us (Romans 1:17). He does not ignore our sins, but takes care of them in Jesus Christ. God presented Jesus as a sacrifice for our forgiveness. “He did this to demonstrate his justice” (Romans 3:25). The cross reveals that God is just; it shows that sin is too serious to be ignored. It is appropriate for sin to be punished, and Jesus volunteered to suffer the punishment on our behalf. The cross demonstrates God’s love as well as his justice (Romans 5:8). God reconciled the universe through Christ, “making peace through his blood, shed on the cross” (Colossians 1:20). If we are reconciled through him, all our sins are forgiven (verse 22)— Hebrews 10:12 calls him a “sacrifice for sins.” John calls him “the atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 2:2; 4:10). “By his wounds we are healed.” He died to set us free, to remove our sins, to suffer our punishment, to purchase our salvation. • Jesus and his disciples knew that Jesus will be crucified if he come to Jerusalem for that Passover. With the supernatural powers of Jesus, he could have done anything if he wanted. • Jesus knew his goal in life is to be sacrificed as the sacrificial lamb to reunite God and man.- This is to fulfill all the prophecies. The High Priest (Lev.16:2-28): Only once per year, on the Day of Atonement, the high priest (Aaron, brother of Moses, was the first high priest, Aaron's descendants thereafter) entered the Most Holy Place of the Tabernacle to offer ceremonial sacrifices for the forgiveness of the people (Lev.16:2-28, Heb.9:7). Fulfillment • - We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man. (Heb.8:1-2). • - When Christ came as high priest... He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. (Heb.9:11-12) -------------------------------------------------------The Sacrificed Goat (Lev.16:7-9, 15-17): It is a Symbol of Jesus Christ. The blood of the sacrificed goat was taken by the high priest Aaron and sprinkled on the atonement cover, or mercy seat, of the Ark of the Covenant (Lev.16:15-17). Fulfillment • The sins of mankind needed to be forgiven so that they could stand cleansed from sin before the Lord. The blood shed on Calvary cleanses all men who, by faith, avail themselves of it. • This depicts the blood sacrifice of Jesus, our "High Priest" (Heb.8:1) entering The Throne Room of God to make atonement for humanity once for all time (Heb.9:23-28) • - He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities Is.53:5 - the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin I John 1:7 - In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses (or ‘sins) Eph.1:7 - Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by His blood to be received by faith. Rom.3:24 And most important, Jesus Himself in the institution of the Eucharist: - this is My blood of the covenant poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins (Mt.26:28, Mk.14:24, Lk.21:20, 1Co.11:26.). The cross, then, is God’s altar where Jesus’ Blood is poured out to secure forgiveness of sins and, as such, is the ultimate fulfillment of the OT sin offering.... the Eucharist is the daily pouring of exactly that same Blood in our lives. < Click here to know about holy mass (Eucharist) > Reason’s for the death of Jesus • If only Mohammed had tried to learn this before being corrupted… • The only times God asks for a human sacrifice was to Abraham. • In Quran, after the attempted sacrifice of the son of Abraham, God tells Abraham that he need not sacrifice his son...God continues.. "Then we (God) ransomed him with a tremendous victim“ (Quran 37:107). Can this tremendous victim be a mere ram or goat..?. It could be very well be Jesus (This time God's son) for uniting mankind to God for ever and ever; An apt promise God made in return to the father of the faithful...When God does something, it is permanent. His sacrificial lamb is permanent. The Sacrifice of Jesus is like the sacrifice of the son of Abraham. Jesus says the greatest proof of love is sacrificing ones life for others. Bible says "For God so loved the world so much that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life". • ------------------------------------------ What Mohammed says about Jesus Death and Why ? There is contradiction in Quran. • Mohammed changes the full Christmas scene. There is no St.Joseph or Bethlehem. According to Quran, after the birth of Jesus in a desert, Mary takes infant Jesus home and new born Jesus opens and talks to protect Mary by saying… If God inspired this sentence to be written, then we know God had a plan for Isa (Jesus) to die and resurrect again. Death of prophet is unthinkable in Arab world. Some heresies started in Egypt in second century where some proud Christians without proper knowledge thought crucifixion ( that too at the hands of Jews) was humiliating. Some Jewish sects didn’t want to be the Chrsit killers. They also thought it is the weakness of God not to protect his messenger. Waraqa (Muhammed’s wife’s uncle) belonged to this teachings and Mohammed took this belief from him. Christians do not blame Jews at all for the death of Jesus. It was the grant plan of God that he himself comes to the world, teach about God and die as the eternal final sacrifice and sign to reunite with mankind who astrayed away due to sins. All prophets died. As per Islam Jesus didn’t die but went to heaven.. Jesus is the only creation that went to heaven without dying…. Why should God allow that.. Whom to believe • Muslim friends, It is your call …. • We explained different points. Do you believe the eyewitness of Jesus’s death , his disciples who saw all these things and wrote it. , the prophecies showed death of Jesus like a finger print of God. • Or do you believe someone 600 years later who has heard of these stories during his trips on caravans and never knew to read and understand it fully. • What if he was using the normal strategy of a merchantto buy idea of one religion seeing it’s popularity (without learning how it is made), re-pack it and sell it in a different market for his advantage. Do you blame them. Isn’t it happening today also ? • • Christians and Jews in Mecca didn’t believe Mohammed because they immediately understood Mohammed didn’t know bible (since his narrations and interpretations were different as he never read the scriptures- He just heard stories during his travel. (eg: God threatened to throw Mount Sinai at the people, son of Noah in flood, missing the most important pass-over which points to Jesus’ resurrection and death). Christians knew Mohammed is copying the heresies taught by his wife’s uncle. He claimed to be a prophet ( initially even he didn’t know this because the spirit in the cave was different from all other messenger of God. It was his wife and uncle who suggested that he could be a prophet . Mohammed’s uncle want him to be a Christian bishop after him to spread his wrong Christian teachings. ) . Mohammed couldn’t do any miracles nor his lifestyle was contradictory to all the previous prophets. Since he couldn’t do miracle, he claimed to have gone to heaven in a flying horse at night (so no one can verify) after traveling to mosque of Jerusalem (which was not created then) . After the heavenly trip he came out in the morning from his Harlem (had atleast 14 wives).- ponder where his heaven really was. Besides he use sword to silence you if you question. • Will you believe him in their place. • Lies and Errors of Mohammed • Mohammed who never knew to read scriptures teaches that Jesus never died on the cross. But went to heaven directly. He is simply quoting wrong teachings of his uncle. • Mohammed says Jesus is only a prophet but not one of member of Holy Trinity-God. • Mohammed’s cooks up a story of a trip to heaven, he says that he saw Jesus only in the lowest heaven, where as Abraham and Moses etc. were in the highest level of heaven( an attempt to demote Jesus). Who changed God’s laws –who is lying Mohammed say that bible is corrupted. Let us see who really corrupted God’s law. 1. Judaism, Christianity and Islam believes in All the prophets including Moses. What was the most revered object and concept of the prophets. It was the 10 commandments. Do you know why Islam don't have the 10 commandments? 10 Commandments is the most sacred command that God gave to mankind. But Mohammed understood he cannot follow the law that says “don’t commit adultery”. He also used to attack caravans of the merchants and kill people, and loot , he used to keep 1/5 th of the loot. 10 commandments says, don’t kill, don’t steal the property of others. Of course this would naturally be the law that comes from the creator of the universe. But Mohammed wanted his followers to kill and loot. So he cannot follow the ten commandments. 2. As per the Quran, a man can have only 4 wives at a time. You can have 3 more if you divorce 3. No exception. But Mohammed had many concubines and at least 14 wives.. What to do. He changes the Quran saying Allah gave him a special revelation so that only Mohammed can marry as many times as he wanted. It is still there in Koran. ....This privilege is yours alone, being granted to no other believer so that none may blame you... You may take to your bed any of them you please (Surat 33:50-51). We know God will never act like a pimp. yet we see here, God's law was changed for the passion of one person. Law was changed so that He could marry more than 7 wives. What did Jesus taught. What was the command that God gave to Moses. The 10 commandments mentions twice that what Mohammed doing is wrong. How will God then change his rule for Mohammed. He won’t. So Of course Mohammed cheated since he knows no will dare to question him. Who changed God’s laws –who is lying • Islamic Lies & Myths no 29 – “Quran is original and has never been changed” – The Quran itself admits to cancellations and changes in Quran 2:106, 16:101, 22:52. 22:52 says Satan proposed some Quranic Sura. The Quran was fabricated hundreds of years after Muhammad. None of the Authors (Hadiths) of Muhammad ever saw/met him. Sahih Bukhari died in 870 A.D. (Bukhari vol.6:385) 238 years after Muhammad was poisoned to death. In contrast, the authors/Apostles of Jesus ate, drank, slept, walked, talked, prayed, preached, and lived with him. Changing Koran • 1. Mohammed changed the teaching. Once he said, his followers could pray to Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat who were some other pagan Gods (another version says they were daughters of Allah). (Quran 53:21-23). Later he confessed that it was inspired by Satan and that this teaching is nullified . This declaration led to the infamous "Satanic verses" of the Koran [In 1989 Indian writer, Salman Rushdie brought up this taboo topic when he wrote a novel entitled, The Satanic Verses. The Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran condemned him and called for his assassination. A three million dollar bounty was placed on his head, and he has been in hiding ever since.] • • Jesus says his words are same always. • "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away". - Mat 24:35 • "The word of the Lord remains for ever". - 1 Peter 1:25, Isaiah 40:8 • He always quotes old testament to prove how prophecies are being fulfilled in Jesus. • • • • This was against the first commandment ( I am your God. You shouldn't have a different God) None of the prophets had to change the teachings. God clearly talked to them without any ambiguity. How can Mohammed make mistake on this which just need commonsense. This raises doubts on his other teachings also. Does a heavenly book be corrupted or How can totally opposite teaching come from same pers Big Lie and manipulation – Jihad and heaven • • • • • • • • • • Mohammed used the ultimate bribery and deception for spreading religion and violence. As a Muslim there is 2 ways to go to heaven. One is being a holy man. The other guaranteed way to a heaven is to die while fighting for Islam (Jihad). All who die for Islam are richly rewarded (4:74), 4:84, In the heaven they will be in a garden full of 'houris'(beautiful and voluptuous girls intended for the sexual pleasure) and delicious food and can enjoy life full of pleasures for ever. All their sexual cravings will be fulfilled(Koran 38:51; 44:54; 55:55-74; 56:22,34-36. These sex would be more enjoyable than any sex on earth. Still many people live on earth anticipating that heavenly sexual life after death. While those who draw back from fighting are sorely punished by God (Quran 48:16-17). This gives no choice for followers. When the followers asked Mohammed what would happen to the virginity of the houris after billions of martyrs have sex with them daily, Mohammed corrects the Koran, "Allah created them so special that they will never loose virginity (Koran 56:34). Don't you understand the intention of this verses and how he could fool his followers. Do you trust the spirit which gave him this ideas. --------------------------------------------------------- Islam teaches Jesus is only a prophet. OK for the sake of argument let us pretend Jesus is only a prophet. , Now, how can two prophets and two holy books (Bible and Quran) have entirely different stance on the same topic on the use of violence. Jesus says never use weapon even when his disciples try to save him. Mohammed waged 64 wars and forces people to fight, kill and be killed using a heavenly bribery. Certainly one person didn't come from the ever-loving controller of the Cosmos. He deviated from God's fundamental nature. If God is God, He doesn't want man's war and crooked tactics. God created son, moon, milky way, galxies and the entire universe. Do you think the creator of mighty universe need the crooked tactics of and stupid suicide death of some Jihadis. If God is evil, then only he will support war and give a ticket to a heaven full of sexy girls and wine. Only a God who controls and loves the universe can do and teach what Jesus said. This clearly demonstrates Jesus is from God. All the prophecies are fulfilled through him. Now there is no need of another prophet and if he is teaching just the opposite of what Jesus taught, if he is promising a false bribery ticket to heaven , he is not from God. The voice heard in the cave was probably from the spirit who try to tempt Jesus with worldly powers in the desert. Mohammed’s Errors due to ignorance • • • • • • • • • • • • • Mohammed didn't knew Greek or Jewish language to read bible. All he heard is the stories from others. So he made , many errors in Koran while quoting the old prophets. Sura 10:3, 11.7 etc teach that it took 6 days for God to create the world. But if you check sura 41:9-12 it shows total of 8 days. In 11th Sura(HUD) (11.042 to 11.045 ) Quran describes how one of Noah's son die in the flood since he din't listen to Noah. Quran contradicts this when it says in Sura 21(AL-ANBIYA) 21.076 "We(Allah) saved him(Noah) and all his kinfolks from the great calamity...(refer the original Arabic Quran)". Bible clearly mentions that Noahs and their family was fully resued. Clearly, this story of missing son is a cooked up story to make some dramatic effect which was ignored in a later chapter. He confused Saul with Gideon who chooses 300 warriors out of 10,000 men by observing how they drank water. Kuran 2:249-250. He thought the Adam and Eve sinned in paradise in heaven (not in an earthly Garden). They were cast to earth only after sinning (Koran 7:19-24, 20-25). 7:24 says "Get down...earth will for awhile provide your dwelling". Does it mean Adam, Animals, plants etc. were not created on earth He quotes the Exodus story 27 times in Quran but omits the Passover which is equally important. Mohammed says it was Ismail and not Isaac who was the favorite son and the chosen one according to God and Abraham. Bible says Issac was the promised son through his wife Sarah. God lifted up Mount Sinai in the sky and threatened to drop on the people if they don't obey 10 commandments. ---------------------------- When Mohammed claimed, he was a prophet. Jewish scholars (and Christians) in Medina and Mecca couldn't accept it because of his ignorance and wrong teaching especially his heaven of houris. They had to pay the big price. Mohammed started his war campaign with killing 3 Jewish clans who were merchants and not skilled in warfare. Even though Mohammed claimed to be in line with all previous prophets, his knowledge of the prophets were shockingly poor. Because of this there is error in Quran If Quran is inspired, how could God change his books after many centuries. The easiest explanation is to say that Jews and Christians corrupted bible. Then he induce the fear factor and forcefully make a law that no one should question Quran or Mohammed. But think why should Jews corrupt their books. If Adam lived in heaven, or God lifted Sinai there is no benefit in changing it. Where as Mohammed has a need in telling that everyone else corrupted because many of his teachings are totally different and there is errors and he need followers quickly. Other errors and manipulations of Mohammed • He ignores St.Joseph the foster father of Jesus and the husband of Mary. He ignores birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. As per Quran, Mary runs away to a desert, under a palm tree she gives birth to Jesus. She hears a sound to shake the tree so she gets date fruits to eat. (Song of angels about “peace on earth” is replaced here). Later she brings infant Jesus to her house and Infant Jesus open the mouth and talks(?!) many things followed by this sentence. • Learned men knew Jesus would be born in Bethlehem, the prophecy said the messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Mohammed uses wild imagination and changes the full Xmas seen and make infant Jesus talk to protect Mary…. • Mohammed and Quran says Jesus never died but went to heaven directly. • But while cooking up Mohammed’s Xmas story, he forgets to remove the words “the day I die(19:33) by Jesus”. If the Quran is from heaven and if existed for ever and if infant Jesus can speak to protect his mother, how could it say “the day I die”. Mohammed later says Jesus never died , he went to heaven directly. Treating non believers. • • • • • • • • • • • • • Sura 5:51 commands Muslims not to take Jews and Christians as friends. Sura 9:29 commands Muslims to fight against Jews and Christians until they either submit to Allah or else agree to pay a special tax. Sura 2:65-66 and Sura 5:60 contain references to Jews as "apes and swine to be despised and rejected." Believers, make war on the infidels(non-Muslims) who dwell around you(Koran 9:123). Make war on them who renounce Islam after embracing it (Koran 9:73-74).Test the faithful and annihilate the infidels (Koran 3:141), Seek out the enemy relentlessly (Koran 4:104) There is also sentences saying how to loot the things after destroying the cities. In all of the Christian dominated countries there is no religious persecution and there is no issue in conversion or spreading any faith. But in many Islamic countries, this is a one way affair. You could be persecuted, jailed or even killed if you preach Christ. Think of Abdul Rahman of Afganistan at the verge of beheading for converting to Christianity. Unthinkable in educated 21st century. If you are Christian from a country other than US, going to Saudi Arabia and if at the airport if the security sees a bible or cross in your bag, they will be thrown out. Incidentally it is many of these countries that fund to build mosques,schools and publications. Persecution is on the rise. ------------------My dear Muslim friend, Mohammed urge us to fight the enemy, Jesus ask us not hate even enemies. How could both teachings come from the same God. Certainly one teaching, one person and one book is not from the merciful God who rains for both good and bad. Only the Son of God can teach us what God really is. Don't you know that God is in control of the universe. If he wants to kill the infidels, he can do it in a second. He surely doesn't need the help Jihads. But listen to Jesus, please read bible, he explains everything perfectly. God has a plan. He knows why the sinner is a sinner. We should work and pray so that enemies also turn to God. My dear friends we know that you won't take it seriously because you believe in the modern world system (which is indebted to the 10 commandments). But how can we justify this coming Quran says “Read bible” • • • • • • • On certain religious teachings, Mohammed asks his followers to refer bible in case of doubt (Quran 29:46 ). While becoming a prophet, Mohammed quotes as God/Gabriel advising him "If you doubt what we have revealed to you, ask those [Jews and Christians] who have read the scriptures [the bible] before you" (Quran 10:94). In the Quran (Surah Al-Baqara 285), believers are told "To believe in all prophets and all the revealed Books of God which includes the Torah (Bible-old testament-Pentateuch), Zabur (psalms), Injeel (Bible-Gospel) and even the book of Daniel. If you do not believe in them, that they are the words of God, you are not Muslims". These books are written by the spirit of God. So you are supposed to know atleast what they contain. -----------------------------Old testament books are shared by Jews, Christians and to some extent by Muslims. So this can't be corrupted. Now the question is - " when did Christians corrupt the bible. Is it before the time of Mohammed or After his time". It cannot be after his time because we have many original manuscripts of bible as old as first centuries which is few centuries before Mohammed. if corruption happened before the time of Mohammed, then why should he ask to refer bible for clarification. We see that Mohammed's teachings are different from that of Jesus and all the previous prophets came before Mohammed. If all the prophets came from the same God how could this happen ? Certainly the latter didn't come from God. So Mohammed's only option is to say that Christian and Jewish bible is corrupted. Please note what bible writers says about any new different preaching - " Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached you, let him be eternally condemned" (Galatians 1:8). recollect how the spirit first appeared to Mohammed in the cave. You may see how Mohammed's personal life was. There is good chance that that spirit was a condemned angel. We know how he tried tempt and test Jesus even quoting the scriptures. Jesus never lied or sinned • Jesus has never said a wrong teaching. Never lied. • Look what kind of lies does Mohammed creates- why he creates that story and how it is still followed. But no one dare to speak against it because of the fear factor. We see how he manipulates the laws for his passion. How can you trust when he says bible is corrupted. Islamic Abnormalities • Man can marry 7 times but woman cannot marry many men. • Man can divorce woman by saying Talaq three times • You cannot keep a dog as a pet since it is not clean. Even though the dog is man’s best friend - Think of the dogs who guides the blind, helps the shepherds, smells narcotics. • • • • • Mohammed established an earthly empire that was spread by the sword and better war techniques. The Europe was becoming a peaceful continent by the spread of non-violent Christianity between 4th to 7th century. Islam took advantage of this weak situation. War is approved in Islam (sura 4:74,4:84). There was big fight for succession and initial Khalifas like Abu Bakr, Uthman, Ali, Muawiya all were all murdered by own people for power. ---Attracted multitude by his teachings and Sword. Allah has 100 names. None of them is related to 'Love' or 'fatherly care'. All other prophets never cared for earthly benefits. Mohammed' practices were matching for the powerful and the fighter tribes of Arabia who relish power, war, booty and woman. Early Islamic leaders had army, weapons and material benefits to gain. If God is God, he doesn't need the sword of man. Still fear factor is one key ingradient of islamic growth. Other religions especially christianity is suppressed in Islamic countries.It is no where compare to the treatment Islam gets in Christian countries. Biased laws against woman • • • • • • • • • • Islamic law is biased for men. Man can have 4 wives at a time. Women have to cover the body and have not freedom (even in modern societies ladies have to cover their whole body-Are they not fit enough to show their face to the real world..?). Divorce is so easy for man(2:228)(Just say Talaq to wife three times). Quran says "admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and BEAT them(4:34). According to a Hadith of Sahihof Al-Bukhari, prophet says the majority of the dwellers in hell is ungrateful women. If man commit homosexuality they be pardoned if they repent(4:15). But if it is woman, confine them until death claims them (4:16). (Al Hadis, Vol. 1, p. 215) Omar reported from the Holy Prophet who said, "No man shall be questioned for beating his wife." (Al Hadis, Vol. 2. p. 638) Abdur Rahman- b-Salem reported that the Apostle of Allah said, "You should marry virgins, and verily they are sweeter in tongue, more prolific in wombs, and easily satisfied with little." (Al Hadis, Vol. 2, p. 692) Ibn Ma`sud reported from the Messenger of Allah who said, "A woman is like a private part (sex organ). When she goes out (walking) the devil casts a glance at her (in lust)." So the need to cover the face and body of woman. He then legislated that women were only half the value and legitimacy in law of a man. Aisha, his child bride, who was only nine when they were wed, lamented the inferior position of women: 'The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people)." I said, "You have made us (i.e. women) dogs" (Abu Said Al-Khudri)' Real Allah - Origins Family Tree of Mohammed Qussay Abdul Uzzay Abdul Dar Assad AlHuwayris Osman Khuwalid Khadija Abdul Manaf Abdul Quassay Hashem Abdul Mutaleb Notal Waraqa Abdullah AbuTaleb Mohammed Ali Al Abbas Abu Lahab Hamza Some Arabs had become Christians before Mohammed. In the 3rd century feew sects had started few false teachings such as Ebionism, Cernthism and Elaxaism. Waraqa was the high priest of Ebionites. Mohammed quotes the Jihad heaven full of food and girls based on teachings of Cernthis. Elaxaism claim that Gabriel gave a book from heaven to Jesus. Ebionism started from Christians who were originally a sect of Jews who were not connected to the followers of Jesus. They reject divinity of Jesus and focus on ritual purification of body). Mohammed grew up learning these heretic teachings (he didn’t get it from any angels) Waraq was the priest who performed the marriage of his cousin Khadija ( 40-twice widow) and Mohammed (25). Waraq’s intention was to make him leader of his united Ebionite Christians of Mecca. He said “I believe that there is no God except him whome the children of Israel believe in…..(Sura Yunis10:90)”. Waraqa wanted to remove the 360 dieties from KaaAba. But it changes after death of Waraq. Why Biblical God is not Allah -1 • There were 360 deities in Kaaba. Allah( from ‘al-ilah’) was one of the titles of the prominent deities of the Mohammed’s Khuraysh tribe. He was married to the sun God and had stars as daughters. • Khuraysha tribe worshipped Allah in the following ways before mohammed’s revelation. – – – – – – – Used symbol of Crescent moon and stars Praying several times looking at Mecca. Making pilgrimage to Mecca- There kissing and caressing the black stone Running around the K’abah-seven times. Throwing stones at the devil Sacrificing sheep and Giving alms to the poor. Fasting for a month starting and ending with moon in the crescent phase. Believes in – Mohammed removed 359 deities of K’abah, took the teachings from different Judeo-Christian heresies and assimilated it to his tribe’s diety called Allah. Allah’s name, symbols, rites and ceremonies of the pagan moon-god is still with his religion. • Islam reject Jesus’ deity and his death on cross. Mohammed teaches that Allah tricked the Jews with a look a like. Allah let a disciple of Jesus ( Quran don’t even mention his name) die while Jesus was taken to heaven. Allah was already existing as the family God of Quraysh tribe. The Gods of the Quraysh tribe • The literal Arabic name of Muhammad's father was Abd-Allah means ( slave of Allah). His uncle's name was Obied-Allah. These names reveal the personal devotion that Muhammad's pagan family had to the worship of Allah, the moon god. • The Quraysh tribe into which Muhammad was born was particularly devoted to Allah, the moon god, and especially to Allah's three daughters who were viewed as intercessors between the people and Allah. • The worship of the three goddesses, Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat, played a significant role in the worship at the Kabah in Mecca. The first two daughters of Allah had names which were feminine forms of Allah. Allah is the Moon God- Not the God of Jews of Christians. • • • • • • • • Mohammed’s father’s name was Abdullah (Abd-allah) means slave of Allah. Uncle was Obied-Allah. Allah was the deity before Mohammed’s time. The symbol of the worship of the moon god in Arabian culture and elsewhere throughout the Middle East was the crescent moon. Archaeologists have dug up numerous statues and hieroglyphic inscriptions in which a crescent moon was seated on top of the head of the deity to symbolize the worship of the moon god. In the same fashion as the sun is pictured above the Egyptian deity. While the moon was generally worshiped as a female deity in the Ancient Near East, the Arabs viewed it as a male deity. In Arabia, the sun god was viewed as a female goddess and the moon as the male god. As has been pointed out by many scholars such as Alfred Guilluame, the moon god was called by various names, one of which was Allah! (Islam, p. 7). The name Allah was used as the personal name of the moon god, in addition to other titles that could be given to him. Allah, the moon god, was married to the sun goddess. Together they produced three goddesses who were called "the daughters of Allah." These three goddesses were called Al-Lat, Al-Uzza (morning star), and Manat. The daughters of Allah, along with Allah and the sun goddess were viewed as "high" gods. That is, they were viewed as being at the top of the pantheon of Arabian deities. Idol Worship at KaAba • Historians say that At the time of Mohammed, there was 360 God’s in KaAba. People were worshipping them in all pagan ways. • Arabs thought the blackstone (color of burned amber) fell from the moon or sun. • Huge Stone ( like Moon) worship is prevalent throughout pagan history. Hindus worship Big rock formations as Siva lingam Historians say pilgrimage to Mecca to different God’s existed Before Islam. Hurling the pebbles at the pillar of the Shaitan is still one of the most dangerous phases of the hajj. In 2004 at the time of writing, 244 people died in a stampede. A tradition of sexual freedom on the hajj predates Islam in more anceint fertility rites. Idol Worship at KaAba • • • • People used to make pilgrimage to Mecca before Islam sarted. People used to walk and run around this stone in the past. The black stone represented other Gods. Still Muslim still kiss it now during Hajj. Allah was the God of Quraysh tribe who were the keepers of Kaaba. Mohammed continued pagan worship at Kaaba in a different form. Have you seen this kind of prayer in any other religion (including modern Islam anywhere else.) Muslims always condemn non-Muslims for praying to statues/idols – But it is obligatory for all Muslims to pray to the stone structure (Kaaba), the black stone in the Kaaba. Kaaba still has inscriptions of the prayers to ancient Gods in ancient languages. Before Mohammed, Kaaba had 360 deities and pagan worship including huge processions were common. Muslims also pray to graves of holy people, Mausoleums, shrines {like the Dome in Jerusalem} etc. Even now at Hajj, Muslims goes around the Huge Stone 7 times chanting at the stone in the center. Have you seen this kind of worship anywhere in Islamic world. No… But Do you know encircling seven times is a common Hindu worship practice. They go 7 times around deities, temples, fire, holy trees etc on special occasions . So Mohammed continued the pagan worship of Mecca. Why is circumambulating the Kaaba 7 times a pagan ritual (2:158) if Abraham built it and purified it according to Allah (2:124-5)? Was Allah The Moon God of Ancient Arab Pagan? Historical evidences, impartial logic, well versed references and all available circumstantial judgments can very well prove that—(a) Allah name of deity was pre-existed much before the arrival of Islam, (b) Pre-Islamic Pagan peoples worshipped Allah as their supreme deity (moon-god). Allah’s name existed in pre-Islamic Arab. In ancient Arab the Allah was considered to be the supreme God/deity (as Moon-God) and Arab Pagans worshipped Allah before Islam arrived. Let us examine below some valid questions and answers : 1. Did the Pagan Arabs in pre-Islamic times worship 360 gods? Yes 2. Did the pagans Arabs worship the sun, moon and the stars? Yes 3. Did the Arabs built temples to the Moon-god? Yes 4. Did different Arab tribes give the Moon-god different names/titles? Yes 5. What were some of the names/titles? Sin, Hubul, Ilumquh, Al-ilah. 6. Was the title “al-ilah” (the god) used as the Moon-god? Yes 7. Was the word “Allah” derived from “al-ilah?” Yes 8. Was the pagan “Allah” a high god in a pantheon of deities? Yes. 9. Was he worshipped at the Kabah? Yes. 10. Was Allah only one of many Meccan gods? Yes 11. Did they place a statue of Hubul on top of the Kabah? Yes. 12. At that time was Hubul considered the Moon-god? Yes. 13. Was the Kabah thus the “house of the Moon-god”? Yes. 14. Did the name “Allah” eventually replace that of Hubul as the name of the Moon god? Yes. 15. Did they call the Kabah the “house of Allah”? Yes. 16. Were al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat called “the daughters of Allah”? Yes. 17. Yusuf Ali explains in fn. 5096, pg. 1445, that Lat, Uzza and Manat were known as “the daughters of God [Allah]” 18. Did the Qur’an at one point tell Muslims to worship al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat? Yes. In Surah 53:19-20. 19. Have those verses been “abrogated” out of the present Qur’an? Yes. 20. What were they called? “The Satanic Verses.” The variable names (Al-ilah, Sin, Hubul, llumquh ) of moon god were used by various tribes of Arabs. • • • • • • • • • • Who is actually Allah? According to Islamic Theologians (Mullahs, Maulana, Moulavis, etc.), or Islamic teachings-- Allah is the supreme God or creator who (suddenly one day?) talked or introduced Himself with Prophet Muhammad through an Angel named Gabriel, disclosing the truth that it is the Allah who created everything in the universe. Surprisingly, Qur’an never defines the word “Allah” as to who actually Allah was or what was the relation of Allah with pagans. I believe, 99% percent of Muslims do believe that—Allah’s name was invented or started right from the time when Gabriel disclosed the truth (?) to Prophet Muhammad in the cave of Hira Parvat (Mountain) and gave Muhammad the Quran. They believe that before this truth was revealed—pagan Arabs were in the total darkness (Andhakar Zuug) and they used to worship various puppet goddess and that the pagans were very evil people. I can bet on this fact that no mullahs ever told us the real truth, neither they believe this clean truth that “Allah” was in fact a preexisting deity in pagan Arabia. What a hypocrisy? Some important factors which will suggest that the name“Allah” was already in use by Pagans as their chief God/deity: (A) In pre-Islamic days, that Muslims call the Days of ignorance, the religious background of the Arabs was pagan, and basically animistic. Through Moon, Sun, Stars, Planets, Animals, wells, trees, stones, caves, springs, and other natural objects man could make contact with the deity. At Mekka, “Allah” was the chief of the gods and the special deity of the Quraish, the prophet’s tribe. Allah had three daughters: Al Uzzah (Venus) most revered of all and pleased with human sacrifice; Manah, the goddess of destiny, and Al Lat, the goddess of vegetable life. These three daughters of Allah (there is a Quranic verse about them) were considered very powerful over all things. Therefore, their intercessions on behalf of their worshippers were of great significance. (B) Arabs used to give their children names such as—Abdullah (slave of Allah). Clean proof was the fact that, Muhammad’s father’s name was “Abdullah”. Logical analogy here is—had there been no “Allah” in pre-Islamic Arab, there could be no Abdullah or slave of Allah in Arabia. (C) Even today, in the entire Arab World, not only Muslims but all other non-Muslim (Jews, Christians, Sabians, Bahai, an atheist etc.) Arabs says—“Ya Allah” as the expression of surprise or unhappiness/sorrow. (D). Albert Hourani’s statement: “The Islamic name used for God was “Allah”, which was already in use for one of the local Gods (it now used by Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians as the name of God (A history Of Arab people by Albert Hourani, 1991, page-16, Belknap press of Harvard University, USA) History tells us two theories of Allah’s existence in and around the Kaba Sharif: (1) Pagans used to call the largest Statue amongst the 360 deities as ALLAH—whom they used to consider the chief/supreme deity (god). Or, (2) Pagan Arabs used to worship 360 deities inside Kaba Sharif, and they used to consider them different smaller deities under the total control of a single most powerful chief deity called “ALLAH” who was invisible (Nirakar) and was the all-powerful, all-knowing, and totally unknowable. Amazing Similarities with Hindu Religion: In India’s Hindu religion is quite similar to the number two theory (above) of pagan belief. Although, Hindus worship many different Goddesses—they invariably have faith upon a single supreme invisible deity called “Bhagaban” (some call it “Ischhaar”) whom they call “Nirakar”. And, surprisingly there is no sculptural image/figure for this Bhagaban. But all Hindus worship Him along with other numerous deities. This Bhagaban is considered as the lord of all other deities. What would happen—if some intelligent prophet would have asked Hindus to give up worshipping other goddesses and keeping only Bhagaban as their only deity making it a monotheist religion just like Islam? Could it not be another religion like Islam? Moon God and Moon worship (C) Influence of Moon in Islam: • Who can deny the paramount influences of moon in Muslim’s life? • In Islam, even now moon is considered holiest astronomical object, and moon is the guiding light of all Islamic rituals/festivals. Contradictions and conflicts are very common with the dates of Eids and Ramadan and obviously it is a chronic problem and moon is the nucleus of this problem. • Crescent moon and stars are the symbolic sign in the national flags of many Muslim countries, • It is present over the Mosques, in the Muslim graveyard etc. • Even the red-cross society changed it’s name to red-crescent to be able to operate in Islamic countries. Now some factors which will suggest “Allah” was the Moon-god of Arab pagans: • (A) In Qura’n there are at least a dozen verses in which Allah repeatedly swears by the names such as moon, sun, stars, planets, night, wind etc. It is a mystery why the creator Allah (?) should swear by his creations. Normally, we swear by the name of something much superior to us, such as we swear by God or by the name of our father (who is considered senior or superior to us). But we never swear by the name of something inferior to us. Here in the Quran swearing fashions of Allah (God) by moon or stars hinting us that Allah considered these things superior to himself. And this makes us to think (otherwise) as to who actually acted as Allah in Quran? However, in his explanation of why the Qur’an swears by the moon in Surah 74:32, “Nay, verily by the Moon,” Yusuf Alli comments, “The moon was worshipped as a deity in times of darkness”(fn. 5798, pg. 1644). Perhaps, this swearing of Allah was due to the usual/cultural habits of worshipping moon as their God in pagan customs. (B) Yousuf Ali stated (Page-1921-1623 of his English Translation of Holy Quran): • “Moon-worship was equally popular in various forms………Apollo and Diana—the twin brother and sister, representing the sun and moon. …in the Vedic religion of India the moon god was Soma, the lord of the planets…….moon was male divinity in ancient India. Moon was also male divinity in ancient Semitic religion, and the Arabic word for the moon “qamar’ is of the masculine gender, on the other hand, the Arabic word for sun “shams” is feminine gender. The pagan Arabs evidently looked upon the sun as a goddess and the moon as a God. • The Pagan deities best known in the Ka’ba and round about Mecca were Lat, Uzza, and Manat.…the 360 idols established by the Pagans in the Ka’ba probably represented the 360 days of an inaccurate solar year. This was the actual modern pagan worship as known to the Quraish contemporary with our prophet” Prophet Muhammad compromised to Pagans to establish Islam in Arabia: • • • • Prophet Muhammad did his clever tactics of adapting many rites of paganism into Islam, in order to accommodate Islam among the pagan Arabs. He made lots of political pacts with the Pagan Leaders such as Abu Suffian to accommodate his new idea of religion and he agreed to incorporate many of the Pagan rituals in Islam. Prophet Muhammad asked the pagans to worship only the “Allah” the largest and his own family deity as God, And destroy the idols of all other gods and goddesses that existed in Kabah. To establish oneness (monotheist) of God, he repeatedly asked them not to make any partners to Allah (That is why we can find hundreds of Quranic verses “asking not to make any partners to Allah). Finally, the Prophet was able to convince (by force of course) the pagans to destroy all idols, and on return (he) agreed (perhaps) to keep the “Names” of the goddess of most famous Pagan tribes as the alternative names of Allah—hence Islam has 99 NAMES of Allah. Prophet Muhammad did command his followers to participate in these pagan ceremonies while the pagans were still in control of Mecca. (Please See Yusuf Ali, fn. 214, pg. 78). ... “the whole of the [pagan] pilgrimage was spiritualized in Islam...” (Yusuf Ali: fn. 223 pg. 80). In the Tafsir (of Quran-2:200) maoulana Yousuf Ali stated: “After Pilgrimage, in Pagan times, the pilgrims used to gather in assemblies in which the praises of ancestors were sung. As the whole of the pilgrimage rites were spiritualized in Islam, so this aftermath of the Pilgrimage was also spiritualized. It was recommended for pilgrims to stay on two or three days after the pilgrimage, but they must use them in prayer and praise to God.(#223 of Shane’nazul by Maoulana Yousuf Ali, page-81) In Islam many rituals performed (today) by devoted Muslims in the name of Allah are connected to the pagan worship that existed before Islam. Pagans practices of the Pilgrimage of Kabah once a year--the Fast of Ramadan, running around the Kabah seven times, kissing the black stone, shaving the head, animal sacrifices, running up and down two hills, throwing stones at the devil, snorting water in and out the nose, praying several times a day toward Mecca, giving alms, Friday prayers, etc. are strictly followed by Muslims today. Nobody can deny the fact that, all the above rituals of Muslim’s hajj today— existed well before the arrival of Islam. Freedom and Slavery Slavery – Mohammed vs Jesus • Jesus says - "I am sent to proclaim liberty to the captives, .....to set free the oppressed“ (Luke 4:18). Jesus never had or supported Slavery since he was a person with greatest sympathy and all were his children. • The Koran explicitly guarantees Moslems the right to own slaves, either by purchasing them or as bounty of war. Mohammed had dozens, both male and female, and he regularly traded slaves when he became independently wealthy in Medina. Some of their names are recorded to posterity. • After each conquest the choice was either to become slave or die. • "There are three whose prayer will not be accepted, nor their virtues be taken above: The runaway slave until he returns back to his master, the woman with whom her husband is dissatisfied, and the drunk until he becomes sober." - Koran • "Whenever Mohammed took a woman as a captive, if he imposed the veil on her, it was a sign that he took her as a wife, but if he left her unveiled it meant, 'He owned her as a slave'; that is, she became a property of his right hand." • Quran 33:50 - "Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty." http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID={34DF211A-7108-4406-9183-6446F6CEBB7C} Mohammed and Slavery examples For an example of typical slavery process, we read that after the Battle of the Trench in 627, the Jews of Banu Qurayza, men were beheaded. But women and children were enslaved, and their properties confiscated. one-fifth of booty would go to Mohammed. Every battle was followed like this. “Then the apostle sent Sad b. Zayd al-Ansari brother of b Abdul-Ashhal with some of the captive women of Banu Qurayza to Najd and he sold them for horses and weapons.” On one occasion, Mohammed exchanged seven slaves for a beautiful slave girl. • Mohammed, his wives, daughters had numerous slaves , whom are caught in the battles as booty. • After the permitted number of woman Mohamed allows you to have slave girls. • “They are slave girls whom you own". (Sura 33:52). • "Save with their wives and slave girls; for these are lawful for them" - Sura 70:30, 23:5. • According to the literal Arabic translation of Sura 3:106, 107, on Judgment Day, only people with white faces will be saved. People with black faces will be damned. Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, a great scholar and Islamic historian says in his book "Zad al-Ma'ad", part 1, p160: • "Muhammad had many male and female slaves. He used to buy and sell them, but he purchased more slaves then he sold. He once sold one black slave for two. His purchases of slaves were more than he sold." • • • • • "Muhammad had a number of black slaves. One of them was named 'Mahran'. Muhammad forced him to do more labor than the average man. Historians Tabari and Jawziyya both record this, so Islam accepts this as true.“ Chapter 16(The bee) 16.75 Allah sets forth a parable: (consider) a slave, the property of another, (who) has no power over anything, and one whom We have granted from Ourselves a goodly sustenance so he spends from it secretly and openly; are the two alike? (All) praise is due to Allah! ---This is a clear instances where the institution of slavery is justified in the Koran as a divine dispensation. Muhammad is actually justifying the inequality between the slave and the freeman as if it was a natural thing. 23:1-6 There are many places in Quran grants permission to do whatever with your right hand possesses. 24.32: And marry those among you who are single and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves; if they are needy, Allah will make them free from want out of His grace – This allows The Arabian Peninsula in 1962 became the world's penultimate region to officially abolish slavery, yet years later Saudi Arabia alone was estimated to contain a quarter of a million slaves. • Islam allows the taking of slaves as "booty", or reward for fighting. This has led to numerous "jihads" by Muslim states and tribes to attack other nonMuslim groups and obtain slaves • Muhammad had sexual relations with Mariyah, his Coptic slave. Mariyah and her sister, Sirin were slaves given as gifts to Muhammad. • Abu Dawud, vol. 2, chapter 1317 - "Contractual Obligation of a Slave." • #3499, 3500- "The contractual obligation of a slave is three days. If he finds defect in the slave within three days, he may return it without any evidence; if he finds a defect after three days, he will be required to produce evidence that the slave had the defect when he brought it." • Judging from the amount of Hadith here, it is safe to assume that many Muslims owned slaves. • Chapter 368 - "Who takes the Property of a Slave When He is Freed" • Chapter 371 - "Slaves who cannot be set Free in the Obligatory Freeing of a Slave" • Chapter 383 - "Cohabitation with a Slave Girl after Declaring Her 'Mudabbir'" (free after the master's death). • Chapter 387 - "Who is Entitled to the Property of a Slave or Slave Girl at the time of Sale." • Chapter 388 - "The Limit of Responsibility of the Seller in the Sale of a Slave or Slave Girl." • Chapter 390 - "On the Conditional Sale of a Slave Girl." cruelty • ISLAM (SUBMISSION) • To promote his religion he prescribed holy wars (jihad). He taught that next to prayers and fasting, waging war against the disbelievers is the most praiseworthy and meritorious act. He burned tree plantations that belonged to the people he wanted to exterminate. He used to get into battlefields before his opponents and destroy the water-wells. He surrounded and cut the water supply to a quarter where a Jewish population used to live. After they surrendered he put to death all the men and boys who had reached puberty, (grown any facial hair) 600 to 900 of them in one day and SOLD the women and children as SLAVES. • Through the years of withdrawal, and expending days at a time in a secluded cave, Muhammad developed a mumbo-jumbo collaged religious doctrine that was a concoction of Judaism, Christianity and Hanifi a monotheistic religion of the Arabs of Hejaz. He got some insights on other monotheistic religions of the Middle East from Abu Nufel, a Christian monk who was the uncle of his first wife. Lessons from the death of Mohammed • • Mohammed attached Khaiber (the defenseless agrarian farms of the Jews) and the people there were tortured, enslaved, murdered and a lady whose family was wiped out by Mohammed’s army brought a poisoned roasted lamb. The lady who poisoned Mohammed thought “Mohammed killed her father, husband and uncle… if he was a prophet he will escape, else die from it. . The narration says that Mohammed’s companion ( probably used as a food taster) died quickly. Mohammed had taken only one or two bites of the roasted lamb, since he started eating late (probably watching his partner eating), but poison had already gone to his body and he realized it. He didn’t die then but this poison tortured and killed him in 2-3 years. He had tried various medicine and even cupping (bleed out the poison). Mohammed’s wife Aisha says that Mohammed and even Gabriel prayed for his recovery. But he died in couple of years later, after suffering a great deal-he couldn’t attend prayers or even write the name of his successor, proving the falsehood of the story that “the roasted lamb told Mohammed that it was poisoned food”. picture • • Ibn Sa’d page 265 says --When Apostle of Allah fell ill, Gabriel chanted on him saying, “In the name of Allah I chant on to ward off from you everything that harms you and against every envier and from every evil eye and Allah will heal you. Even his favorite wife Aisha used to say this act by Gabriel. Ibn Sa’d page 294 says that Mohammed thought that common diseases like pleurisy (infection to lung membrane) is caused by Satan. Lessons from the murder of Mohammed and followers Notes : All the prophets died, but God allowed them to complete the work they wanted. But in the case of Mohammed, at his death bed, he wanted to write the name of his successor on a paper but he couldn’t though he tried. This caused the split of Muslims into Sunni and Shia. If Mohammed was a true prophet, won’t Allah give him life and strength for few seconds more. There was heavy inner fight for power after each succession. Most of the earlier supreme leaders ( Caliphs ) were killed by own people. Jesus predicted that false prophets would come and mislead many (Matthew 24:24). Mohammed was such a false prophet. Most of the prophets like Jesus, Mohammed etc. communicated face to face. Mohammed could talk only through a spirit . Could it be that this angel preaching the false religion ( Galatians 1:8) ? Could this angel be the deceptive demon or Satan himself. Treating woman • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Muslim scholar and statesman Ali Dashti gives the following list of the women in Muhammad's life: 1. Khadija12. Hend2. Sawda13. Asma (of Saba)3. Aesha14. Zaynab (of Khozayma)4. Omm Salama15. Habla5. Halsa16. Asma (of Noman)6. Zaynab (of Jahsh)17. Mary (the Christian)7. Jowayriyi18. Rayhana8. Omm Habiba19. Omm Sharik9. Safiya20. Maymuna10. Maymuna (of Hareth)21. Zaynab (a third one)11. Fatema22. Khawla Several observations need to be given about the above list: The first 16 women were wives. Numbers 17 and 18 were slaves or concubines. The first 16 women were wives. Numbers 17 and 18 were slaves or concubines. The last four women were neither wives or slaves but devout Muslim women who "gave" themselves to satisfy Muhammad's sexual desires. Zaynab of Jahsh was originally Muhammad's adopted son Zaid's wife. The fact that Muhammad took her for himself has been problematic to many people, Muslims included. (God does not break His Own Word and He never changes His mind. Now read Sura 33:36-38). (The vindicated prophet Moses taught under the Old Testament, that a minister could only marry a virgin or the widow of a minister (Leviticus 21:13-15). The vindicated prophet Jesus taught under the New Testament that an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor or teacher can marry only a virgin in the faith -- because he is a type of Christ Who is uniting only with virgins to the Word. Every prophet from Adam taught that any woman who has more than one living husband is an adulteress, and her subsequent husband is in adultery with her first husband as polygamy was legal only for the man -Genesis 3:16; Romans 7:1-3). Aesha was only eight or nine years old when Muhammad took her to his bed. According to Hadith, she was still playing with her dolls. This facet of Muhammad's sexual appetite is particularly distressing to Westerners. While in Islamic countries an eight-or-nine-year-old girl can be given in marriage to an adult male, in the West, most people would shudder to think of an eight-or-nine-year-old girl being given in marriage to anyone. (Although it is condoned by the Jew's Talmud). This aspect of Muhammad's personal life is something that many scholars pass over once again because they do not want to hurt the feelings of Muslims. Yet, history cannot be rewritten to avoid confronting the facts that Muhammad had unnatural desires for little girls. Finally, Mary, the Coptic Christian and Rehana(Jewish) refused to marry Muhammad because she would not renounce their religion and embrace Islam. They bravely chose to remain slaves rather than convert. The documentation for all the women in Muhammad's harem is so vast and has been presented so many times by able scholars that only those who use circular reasoning can object to it. Freedom of religion • The penalty for escaping Muhammad's clutches has always been high. Bukhari:V4B52N260 "The Prophet said, 'If a Muslim discards his religion, kill him.'" • Tabari IX:82 "The Messenger sent [killer] Khalid out to collect taxes with an army of 400 and ordered him to invite people to Islam before he fought them. If they were to respond and submit, he was to teach them the Book of Allah, the Sunnah of His Prophet, and the requirements of Islam. If they should decline, then he was to fight them." His Sunnah has become the basis for Islamic law - the most repressive code on earth. And Muslims follow his example, which is why they are the most violent people on earth. • Jesus claimed to be Son of God JESUS • Jesus claimed to be God. Ancient world interpreted God in many ways. Only God could show what God is, and what he wants from us. So at the fulfillment of time, he came to show what God really is and to bring the world (which shifted away from God due to the sins) closer to God. • Over 100s of the prophecies were fulfilled the life of Jesus. • Jesus' crucifixion was demanded by a sect of Jewish leaders (who were appointed by Romans. Other Jewish leaders were expecting the messiah and believed in him) only because he claimed to be God's Son. If Jesus claimed only to be a prophet, they would have accepted him because of his miracles and teachings. Mohammed • Wasn't it the need of Mohammed to say that Jesus was only a prophet.? • If he agrees that Jesus is Son of God, then there is no significance for Mohammed. No one in Mecca or Madina would give him power for his political ambitions and his own life has no meaning. No Jihadi's will die for him. People will understand his teachings of violence contradicts the teachings of Jesus on Love and compassion. People will question the big mistakes of his personal life. • So Mohammed had to say Jesus is only a prophet and the easiest excuse is that Christians and Jews corrupted the bible. He also instituted a system of laws and fear factor so that followers don't open their mind to think otherwise. • Think what a grave sin it is. Conclusion : Old testament and all prophets were expecting the coming of the Messiah ==> If Jesus was only a true prophet as claimed by Islam also, he would never dare to claim to be God. But Jesus always claimed to be God. ==> Then how can Islam and Mohammed accept him as prophet. Mohammed never Communicated to God JESUS • • • • Jesus always communicated directly with God the Father. During the public life, Jesus was so busy, Almost full day he would be traveling from place to place, teaching, healing and doing good. Yet at nights, he spend time in meditating with the God. Before doing any miracles, he talks to his Father. Even at cross, he talks to his Father in heaven. Mohammed • Mohammed never Communicated directly with God. He always talks to a spirit whose origin and methods are questionable. • Mohammed gets his first encounter with the dark spirit in a cave ‘Hira’ when he was over 40. The spirit pushes his face down to the earth with it’s hands, inflicting considerable pain on Mohammed. The nameless spirit let him go only after surrendering to him. Even Mohammed thinks it was evil. When he reached home, his wife and uncle who suggested to him that it could be an angel…!?. Later Mohammed started telling it was angel Jabareel (Gabriel). • But the encounter of this spirit was completely different from the way God revealed to all the previous prophets like Moses, Abraham, Noah, where the God spoke directly to the prophets. God talked directly to them and never made them surrender inflicting pain on them. • One really wonders if this nameless spirit was the evil one, who tried to test Jesus in the wilderness before the start of Jesus’ public life. Over 600 years later perhaps it was this evil spirit who came back with a mighty plan to destroy the teachings of Jesus. Let us see how this spirit used Mohammed against the teachings of Jesus. Conclusion : Jesus and all other prophets communicated directly with God. If Mohammed were the highest prophet as claimed by the Muslims, why he never communicated directly with God. Analyzing Mohammed’s family background and the spirit in the cave Analyzing the revelations and the spirit. • Only Muhammad ever heard these "revelations." He offered no evidence of his divine inspiration - we take the Qur'an solely on his word. • The Bible, by comparison, had forty authors, all literate, who told a consistent story over the course couple of thousands of years. • Muhammad, who was admittedly illiterate, acted alone in the formation of Islam and is alleged to have invented his religion over the course of twentytwo years. • There were no miracles to prove Muhammad's claim of being a godly conduit. There were no healings, walking on water, parting seas, raising folks from the dead, or feeding multitudes. And there are no fulfilled prophecies, like the exacting and detailed predictions that Biblical prophets routinely made to demonstrate their divine authority. • But the most troubling part about our absolute reliance on Muhammad's testimony that he and his Qur'an were divinely inspired is that the prophet's character was as deficient, and his life was as despicable, as anyone who has ever lived. Mohammed’s family and Occultism • • • • Many cursed occultism (praying to Jin-devil) were practiced in Mecca at that time. The well of Zamzam has the statue of the two priests of jin-devils. Mohammed’s grandfather (Abdel Mutaleb )had built this well . He tried to sacrifice mohammed’s father to Jin before grandfather’s brother rescued the boy ( reference: Ibn Hisham, I, page 126; Halabieh, I, page 58). Even though Mecca had many churches (many in Najran) and synagogues, Mohammed’s grandfather took his son to occult-priests. Mohammed’s family has significant connection with occultism. Abu Taleb, the uncle of Mohammed (he was Mohammed’s guardian after his father and grandfather died). He got special connection with soothsayer called Lahab. Mohammed used to have nightmarish visions in the house of his uncle who and his son (Jaefer) had symptoms of possessed by Jin. Mohammed also had these symptoms. Mohammed’s childhood was in the environment filled with dangerous occultism, soothsayers, sorcerer, diviners and mediums. Mohammed had became a Rakhi راقي, the one who practices Rukhieh (removing jin-devil using more powerful jin’s spells) upon others. Ibn Hisham, the oldest and the most authoritative Islamic biographer of the life of Mohammed writes the poem his uncle sang mentioning that Mohammed is a Rakhi. At that time in Arabia, being Rakhi and casting spells and occultism was respectable. After claiming the prophet also we see Mohammed making rukhieh when his uncle’s wife requested for her son Jefer. Mohammed was known to have suffered from trances since his childhood. His mother Amneh, brought on him a rukhieh, or bewitching. Mohammed’s biographer Halabieh mentions how Mohammed used to fall into coma, how he used to suffered from convulsions and how he go into coma before starting to receive Quran. This few pages indebted to the website http://religionresearchinstitute.org/ What does Bible say about occultism • His wife Khadija’s uncle was the leader of such a cult with wrong teachings in Mecca. It was he who said may be he is an angel. So the spirit in the cave also got the idea to come up as Gabriel. Bible says- Occultism, soothsayer, mediums are all abominations to God. God hate it. Deuteronomy 18:10-14 strictly warns against it. We know Abraham also hate these practices that God hates. But see how can Zamzam And these areas are connected with Abraham. Satan’s plan • Who is the enemy of the God ? It is Satan. Satan is very clever to make people do sins . Bible says how in the desert, he tried to trick Jesus before Jesus started teaching his Gospel. Satan tried to bribe him with all the powers of earth. Satan even tried to defeat Jesus with scripture words (Bible Matthew 4:1-11). But Jesus defeats him by the true scripture words. • We see Adam and Eve were tricked to sin by Satan. • Jesus had warned that false prophets will be coming after him who will change his teachings. • So the greatest enemy of Christ’s church also is Satan. He must have been preparing for 600 years to attack Christ and his Church. • Mecca also had over 360 dieties and was a pagen place. Mohammed’s family practiced Occultism which God hates. Even Mohammed was a Rakhi. All these are perfect place for Satan’s operations. Spirit in the cave – Who is it ? • Mohammed never Communicated directly with God. He always talks to a spirit whose origin and methods are contradictory. • Mohammed gets his first encounter with the dark spirit in a cave ‘Hira’ when he was over 40. The spirit pushes his face down to the earth with it’s hands, inflicting considerable pain on Mohammed. He thought he was going to die. The nameless spirit let him go only after surrendering to him. Even Mohammed thinks it was evil. Later, when he reached home, his wife and uncle who suggested to him that it could be an angel…!?. Later Mohammed started telling it was angel Jabareel (Gabriel). • But the encounter of this spirit was completely different from the way God and his angels (michael, Gabriel, Raphael) communicated with many prophets. Gabriel appeared to Daniel, Mary mother of Jesus, Zacharia etc. . God or his angels never made them surrender or inflicted pain on them. The first sentence Gabriel used to say is, “do not be afraid…I am the angel of the God” . • Had the spirit been Gabriel, he would have calmed Muhammad and relieved his fear. Spirit does not even say his name at that time. But the spirit in the cave left him in extreme distress . Who was the spirit in the cave Hira • • • • In the first encounters, the spirit in the cave never tells it’s name. But it inflicts considerable pain to Mohammed. Mohammed thought it was a jin. But it was his wife and her uncle who suggested it may be an angel from God. Had the spirit been Gabriel, he would not have contradicted his former revelations. 600 years before, he told Mary she will bear the son of God(Luke 1:35). This spirit is teaching just the opposite. He says just the opposite and to fight christians and Jews. Had the spirit been Gabriel he would not have given a false scientific revelation to Muhammad. – sun sets in a a muddy pond and Mohammed and Emperor Alexander saw many people where the sun is setting (Quran 18:86). Gabriel obviously knows God’s 10 commandments. He knows God won’t change his rule and become like a pimp to satisfy the sexual urge of a person even if he is the prophet. But in Quran we see how Mohammed become sexually pervert over the years ( marry children-Aesha was 9), had too many wives, even steals adopted son’s only wife. Who approves him to do all these… It is the spirit who gives him revelation. He re-writes Quran saying Allah has given a permission only for him to marry as many wives as he want. While stealing his daughter in law, Quran was corrected saying, “ Why do you fear people, Allah is great”. Gabriel will never support breaking God’s everlasting command. • If Mohammed had tried to read bible he would have known what bible had warned 600 years before – “Even Satan can disguise himself to look like an angel of light” (Bible-2 Corinthians 11:14). • • After his encounter with the spirit, Muhammad was afraid that what happened to him was from a Jinn. After the encounter with the spirit, Mohammed had the urge to commit suicide many times. • Following his first Qur'anic revelation, Muhammad claimed to have been demon possessed. By his own admission, he tried to commit suicide. People of Mecca said that he had gone mad. "He is a demonpossessed sorcerer fabricating scripture," they said, accusing him of plagiarism and of having purely selfish motives. Mohammed replies quoting Allah answered: "My Messenger is not insane, nor is he demonpossessed." One really wonders if this nameless spirit was Satan, himself, who tried to test Jesus in the wilderness before the start of Jesus’ public life. Over 600 years later perhaps it was this evil spirit who came back with a mighty plan to destroy the teachings of Jesus. Let us see how this spirit used Mohammed against the teachings of Jesus. Islam believes in Jin . Suras 55:15; 72; 113, 114 , 72.1 Muslim web sites say this was reportedly seen near the Cave where Muhammad is believed to have received the Qur'an's verses. • Muhammad created the political doctrine of "submission" in Medina. He became a pirate, dictator, and terrorist leader. He used Qur'anic scripture to justify some of the most horrific behavior imaginable: pedophilia, incest, rape, torture, assassinations, thievery, mass murder, and terror - all in an unbridled orgy of sex, power, and money. • When he was fifty, Muhammad married a six-year-old child. Then he stole his son's wife. After forcing young girls to watch his men execute their fathers, Muhammad raped them. He tortured his victims to make sure no booty escaped his grasp. He committed mass murder, slaughtering Jews in genocidal rage. In ten years, he ordered a score of assassinations and conducted seventy-five terrorist raids. He used the sword to force Arabs into submission and used the slave trade to finance Islam. He was more interested in collecting girls and taxes than anything else. He ruled through fear. And his god condoned it all. Unfair Claims of Muslim Apologetics • • • • For Initial centuries Islam spread only through the sword (militant organized warriors of Mohammed and Khalif’s) and doctrines like Jihad heaven and Quranic teachings to destroy non-believers. This was totally against the way Jesus, disciples and followers spread religion, his teachings and promises of heaven. As a continuation of early Muslim warriors, even now we see Islamic countries do genocides, gives no freedom to church and meticulously remove Christian institutions and people. Islamic websites also show partial truths , cooked up stories and fake articles to promote religion. They don’t find any fault in Mohammed’s sins, sexual craziness, re-writing Quran for marrying many woman including daughter in law. These days they read bible partly and try to make Mohammed divine. Prophecies were fulfilled in jesus. Jesus and his disciples explains this in bible. In Quran, Mohammed neither knew of any prophecies nor Quran explains any prophecies Now in 21st century some Muslims after reading Quran is cooking up prophecies for Mohammed. If these prophecies about Mohammed were genuine, why didn’t the spirit In the cave or Mohammed himself mention it… Muslim Apologetics says Mohammed is the promised holy spirit. • Jesus told his disciple to stay in Jerusalem A brief list of lies by Mohammed -- shows List of lies Why it is a lie Reasons for lying 7 wives for his followers. But Mohammed can have unlimited number of wives. He re-wrote Quran ( Sura 33:50-51.). God (and 10 commandment) taught monogamy (one wife). Jesus and all real prophets followed it. 1. 7 wives & booty to attract others. 1.Mohammed became insatiable with sex. 2.He didn’t believe in God( since he faked it ). 3.The spirit in the cave who approve this is Satan Mohammed steals his only son’s (adopted) only one wife and make her as his 10th wife. Re-writes Quran “Don’t be afraid of man, Allah is great” (sura 33:37) 10 commandments and bible says it is grave sin. Nobody in human history has done this grave sin.( tell us someone who has done it ?) All the above + sword He becomes lower than human (His fault or the spirit who approves this ? ). Shame on people who try to defend this act by cooking new stories now. He traveled with Alexander to the west and saw people by the muddy pond were sun sets. Sun do not sets in a muddy pond. Alexander lived 900 years before He cooked up revelations shamelessly and the spirit and his God approves. Mohammed traveled to Heaven from Jerusalem The mosque in Jerusalem is built on a big lie ( Mohammed had never come there). Why in the night ( so no one can prove). Mosque of Jerusalem was not built then. Copy of Zourashtriyan story. Mohammed could not do any miracles as a proof to support his contradictory teaching. when repeatedly challenged ( Quran agree the miracles of other prophets). Promised heaven for jihad. People who will die for him. If God is the controller of universe, he doesn’t need the help of bombers 10 commandments says don’t kill. Jesus says don’t use sword. He simply will get soldiers who will die for him. Going to heaven through doing good is difficult. But for the sinner (ordinary man) , the easy way to heaven is to die as Jihad. Said God lifted Sinai to throw Noah’s one son in flood etc. Bible Old testament say different story. There is no need to lie. Ignorance of scriptures. Mohammed heard story while travelling. Added for more dramatic effect. Removed deity of God And that Bible is corrupted. Bible and Jesus said he is son of God. He fulfilled prophecies. ( see the detailed article on this). Why can’t God come to earth and live among us? His teaching is contradictory to teaching of Jesus (violence, sex, looting). If Jesus is God, then there is no relevance for him and his actions are sinful. So he had to say Christians/Jews corrupted bible!?. A brief list of lies by Mohammed and Quran-- contd List of lies Why it is a lie Reasons for lying Birth of Jesus in some unknown desert. It seems Mary (Marian ran away to desolate place) and gave birth to Jesus under a date palm tree. Prophets had prophesied Jesus would be born in Bethlehem. St.Joseph and Mary had to go to Bethlehem for the census ordered by Agustus Ceasor. Mohammed simply didn’t know about the birth of Jesus, he never read scriptures. As usual lot of Geographical lies ( Holy family went to Jerusalem. But Mohammed say they didn’t go . But he went o heaven from Jerusalem which is a lie). Infant Jesus( few days or weeks old) talks to the relatives that he is from God to protect Mary (Quranchapter Mariam). This is a very stupid lie. Mohammed has no clue of this things happened 600 years back. St. Joseph is there to defend Mary for any questions. Mohammed cooks up another fantasy and make more dramatic effect. There is no Mention of St.Joseph (Mary’s husband and Foster father of Jesus) . Bible explains how St.Joseph took care of the holy family. He worked hard. Goes to Jerusalem for pass over festival. Gospel writer (Historian&Doctor) Luke explains the geneology of Jesus through Mary. Mathew explains Geneology through Joseph. Mary’s family is not carpenters. Jesus was a carpenter since St.Joseph taught him. There is no mention of the fact that Romans rules Jerusalem. No mention about Pontius Pilot or Ceasors Bible explains historical facts on the Ants spoke to King Solomon The lamb’s leg that Mohammed eat spoke to him said it was poisoned No animals speak in bible. Animals speak only in Quran and books like Harry potter. Lamb spoke late after he eating one piece. This food poison cause death in 3 years Mohammed had no clue of history. There is no historical or Geographical factors. A very Important page Quran is teaching total contradiction to bible. Everything in Islam is based on one illiterate person’s teachings without any evidence of it’s validity Where as Bible had 40 authors, teaches consistently over many thousands of years. Bible teaches the love of God, his promise to generations. Finally Jesus comes and showed us what God is, what God wants from us and how the prophecies are fulfilled in him and he reunites mankind to God for ever. Mohammed is saying that teachings of many thousands of years is wrong… everlasting God has changed overnight. ( No friend, God is in control. Why should he change? He knows to protect his teachings). God says “Heavens and earth may change, but my words will never change”(Mat24:35)) To prove this contradictory teaching, isn’t he supposed to show a miracle that God is with him. His personal life is worse, his style is contradictory to all previous prophets. He comes from the family practicing occultism which God of bible hate. You can see many lies and rewriting of Quran (especially for sex) Quran teaches hatred to Christians and Jews. Instead of miracles, he has only sword. Understand Satan is behind the sword. How can you trust his teaching…. He is from Satan who hates God.. His teachings is the ultimate weapon against the unchanged loving God of Bible. Jesus had warned about false prophets and Satan as disguised as angel. Book of Revelations (last book of Bible) clearly tells how Satan will damage to the church of Christ- but final victory is for Christ. Jesus prevents use of sword (even when his disciples try to save him with sword). He said this because God’s ways are not sword and Gun. The powers and sorrows of this world are nothing compared to the everlasting life with God. God knows and he is in control… Now my friends, Why can’t you consider the truth of the Bible. ( Where as Bible had 40 authors , taught consistently over many thousands of years. Bible teaches the love of God, his promise of the messiah and how Jesus fills the prophecies. Finally Jesus comes and taught us what God is. Jesus taught that he is son of God and God himself. On earth he had the characteristics of man and God. Biggest Lie of Mohammed Biggest lie- removing deity of Jesus • • • • • • • • • Wasn't it the need of Mohammed to say that Jesus was only a prophet.? If he agrees that Jesus is Son of God, then there is no significance for Mohammed. No one in Mecca or Madina would give him power for his political ambitions and his own life has no meaning. No Jihadi's will die for him. People will understand his teachings of violence contradicts the teachings of Jesus on Love and compassion. People will question the big mistakes of his personal life. So Mohammed had to say Jesus is only a prophet and the easiest excuse is that Christians and Jews corrupted the bible.

Think what a grave sin it is. ----Old testament and all prophets were expecting the coming of the Messiah ==> If Jesus was only a true prophet as claimed by Islam also, he would never dare to claim to be God.

Only God could show what God is, and what he wants from us. So at the fulfillment of time, he came to show what God really is and to bring the world (which shifted away from God due to the sins) closer to God. Over 100s of the prophecies were fulfilled in his life. Jesus' crucifixion was demanded by a sect of Jewish leaders (who were appointed by Romans. Other Jewish leaders were expecting the messiah and believed in him) only because he claimed to be God's Son. If Jesus claimed only to be a prophet, they would have accepted him because of his miracles and teachings. Biggest lie• • • • • • • Isa(Jesus) was born of the virgin(Quran-19:20),(3:47) and by the spirit of the God(19:17), Jesus is sinless. Isa(Jesus) is the word of God, the spirit of God , Mercy from God and the messiah (mentioned 10 times) He did so many mighty miracles (4:153)[which even Mohammed could not do] . God raised Jesus unto him(Quran - 4:158) (Surah - Maryam) He said: I am a messenger of thy Lord that I may bestow on thee a "faultless son". - Have you thought Why Jesus is a faultless son? Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith, Hadith 4.506, narrated by Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "When any human being is born, Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers, except Jesus, the son of Mary, whom Satan tried to touch but failed, for he touched the placenta-cover instead." Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith, Hadith 4.641 Narrated by Said bin Al Musaiyab: Abu Huraira said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'There is none born among the offspring of Adam, but Satan touches it. A child therefore, cries loudly at the time of birth because of the touch of Satan, except Mary and her child." Why was Jesus Christ faultless and without sin, whereas Mohammed was touched by Satan and didn't lead a pious life? Many times in the Quran, Mohammed is reminded of repenting his sins. Every Muslim who reads the Quran with understanding knows it very well. Muslims believe that Jesus will come back from heaven at the end of time. This is unparalleled to any human being. "He will kill the 'Al Dajjal(antichrist)', kill all pigs..... etc.". Christians and most of muslims believes Jesus would come at the end of time for the last judgment . He will Judge each person based on the deeds of his life on earth. Recently many cooked up explanations are coming on this theory to undermine Jesus. God of Mohammed- Allah Friend, God could have stayed in a remote place without ever creating us. Looks like he cares for us. Else why should he even create us. Is he a fear some remote God But if he is a good God and if has three parts and if he wants to come and and live with us, who can say NO. You have seen Mohammed and Jesus. It is your call whom to trust. Jesus is coming back. Islam means surrender. Allah want us to surrender to him ( like Slaves). Is God a fearsome, remote God.. He has 100 names. None of them says love. He tells you to attack and surrender Christias and Jews. He tells, you can go to heaven by fighting war against non-muslims In this heaven you get wine, beautiful virgins and pleasures. He says Men can marry 7 woman but woman can marry once. He says Mohammed can marry any number of wives (even his daughter in law), where as none of the other 1000s of prophets are not allowed to have unlimited wives. He creates Jesus as sinless, from a virgin (without human father), allow to come back to judge the world, and even took to heaven – apparently for no reason. But he takes an uneducated Mohammed whose family practiced occultism to change everything that Jesus and prophets taught for thousands of years. ( ancient bible manuscripts are existing today) Biblical God Jesus Son of God How do we know Jesus is God God the father announces twice that Jesus is his own son : God the Father announces during the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan river (Matthew 3:116-17). and in the Tabor Mountain (Matthew 17:5)".Holy spirit comes in the shape of Dove. “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased - listen to him”. Jesus was condemned to death since he said he was the Son of God: • That is the reason why Jesus was crucified. When Jesus was brought to the trial, the High priest Caiaphas asked him, ”Are you the messiah, the son of the Blessed God?” Jesus knew his life was at stake. Jesus says, “Yes I am”, “and you will see him sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven (for the last judgment)." High Priest and his people considered it as blasphemy and condemned Jesus to death at that point. (Mark 14: 55-65) • Later, when Pilate said that he did not see any reason to condemn him, the crowed answered back, “Jesus has to die since he claimed to be the son of God” (John 19:6-7) • Before one attempted stoning, opponents tells Jesus "We want to stone you because of your (Jesus') blasphemy, You are only a man, but you are trying to make yourself God. (John 10:33)". • This made authorities all the more determined to kill him…. He had said that God was his own Father and in this way had made himself equal with God – John 4:18 Jesus accepted worship as God and Claimed to deserve the same honor as the Father •He accepted worship as God and claimed to deserve the same honor as the Father. (Matthew 28:17-18; John 5:22-23; 9:38). •Jesus says, I and the father are one. I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. ( John 14:10) •Jesus prayed, "Father Glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made“ (John 17:5 ) •He claimed to be the divine Son of God, a title the Jews rightly understood to be a claim to equality with God. (John 5:17-18; John 10:30-33; John 19:7) His Close associates believed he was Son of God. When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, 'Who do men say that I am?. Disciples said what people were saying. Jesus asked them “what do you know who I am?” "And Simon Peter answered and said, 'You are the Christ [the Messiah], the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven'" (Matthew 16:16-17). Through God the Father's inspiration, Peter responded by saying that Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, is also the Son of the living God. And Jesus makes Peter the head of his church. Jesus does not stop the disciples when they worshipped Jesus saying: – ”Truly you are son of God” -- (This was after Jesus walked over water and calmed the wind and waves (Matthew 14:33). – “My Lord, My God” – St.Thomas, after putting his hand in the wound of Jesus after his resurrection. – Then Simon Peter answered him, . . . “And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God”. (John 6:68, 69) – Martha said to him, “Yes, Lord: I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world”. (John 11:27) – Jesus resurrects her brother, Lazarus from death only after hearing this. How do we know Jesus is God - contd My Son, your sins are forgiven Jesus did things only God (not prophet) is supposed to do • Forgive sins : – We may forgive sins committed against us, but we cannot forgive sins committed against others. Jesus forgave all sins. (Mark 2:7; Luke 5:21) – Before performing mighty healing miracles, Jesus would say to the person, my son your sins are forgiven (Matthew 9:2). Many times the teachers of the law would object and say that “God is the only one who can forgive the sins (Mark 2:7) You are doing blasphemy (Matthew 9:2) How can you claim to be God”. But Jesus would say that he has the authority on earth to forgive the sins”. Then he would perform the healing miracle as a proof of his divinity. Jesus was purposely showing them that he was God. Jesus does mighty miracles that only God is able to do – Raise the dead, Chase out evil spirit, Controls the nature – calms the turbulent water and wind. , Heals the born blind, deaf, mute, leaper, lame, Rises from death, goes to heaven. My name is Jesus uses the Title of God “I am who I am” In Mt.Sinai, God told Moses that his name is 'I Am Who I Am' (In olden language and culture, this sentence was more stronger than telling that he was just God and the people knew it.). • Bible shows that Jesus used this title of God many times. During last supper, after washing the foot of the apostle, Jesus tells the disciples " I tell you this now before it (his death and resurrection) happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe that 'I Am Who I Am‘ (John 13:19). • A Samaritan woman tells Jesus that " the messiah will come and when he comes, he will tell us everything". Jesus replies "I am he (the messiah), I who am talking with you“ (John 4:25-26). How do we know Jesus is God - contd Jesus Quotes Abraham and David knowing the promised messiah will come as their predecessor. Jesus says "Before Abraham was born, 'I Am (who I am)'. Abraham rejoiced that he was to see the time of my (Jesus) coming; he saw it and was glad". Now the people doubted him didn't have an answer and they clearly realized Jesus was claiming to be God. So they tried to kill him in vain by throwing stones at him (John 8:58). Jesus asks how could David address his descendant by the word “Lord”. David was a prophetic King and he know the messiah will be his descendant. What kind of a messiah does the greatest prophetic king expect ? Surely some one greater than prophets and kings-beyond the earthly powers. God himself. Angels and Demons knew Jesus was son of God: – The angel Gabriel tells Mary that he will give birth to child of God and to give a name to child Jesus as Emmanuel which means "God is with us". ( Matthew1:23). He will also be called “Son of God” (Luke1:35) – In the desert, During the temptation, evil asks Jesus “If you are God’s son….” (Matthew 4:3) He knew that on earth, Jesus was God and man at the same time and probably hope to attack his human side. – We also see many evil spirits recognizing Jesus as son of God before they are driven out by Jesus. ”What do you want with us, you Son of God? Have you come to punish us before the right time” (Matthew8:29) – And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. (Luke 4:41) Greatest teacher – • Prophet Isaiah predicts 750 years before.. “God himself will teach them” ( Isaiah 54:13) • God himself had to come to teach the trinity, holy spirit. • God had to come and correct law “An eye for an eye, teeth for teeth” • Jesus teaches, “forgive and pray for your enemies”. • God takes care of you. Even the number of your hairs are counted. Jesus asks heavenly father during crucifixion – “ Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing”. Only a God can teach this. How do we know Jesus is God - contd Bible mentions many places that Jesus is son of God. • God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) • For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:17,18) • In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word was fully God. John 1:1 The word became flesh and lived among us • Jesus- In his very nature he was God. But he did not think that being equal with God was something he should hold on to. Instead, he made himself nothing. He took on the very nature of a servant. He was made in human form. - PHILIPPIANS 2:5-7 Check these claims of Jesus. Only a God ( not prophet ) can make these. • "I have come down from heaven“ (John 6:38) • "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." (Revelation 22:13) quoting the Old testament where God (Yahvey says the same) • "I am the life and resurrection" • "I am the way, truth and life". • "I am the bread of life". (John 6:35) • "I am the light of the world". (John 8:12) • I am going ahead to prepare a place for you (John 14:2-3)” – promised destiny for us. How do we know Jesus is God - contd Jesus went to heaven infront of his disciples • God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) Second Coming to Judge the world: He will come in the glory of his father with his angels and then he will reward each one according to his deeds. (Mat 16:27). Can a man do this. Impossible. Only a God can come back again to judge all the human beings. You will see son of man sitting on the right hand of the Father. How do we know Jesus is God - contd • Jesus’ other statements. The Disciple Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father. That will be enough for us." Jesus answered, "Don't you know me, Philip? I have been among you such a long time! Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? John 14:7-9 Jesus tells Nicodemus (the Jewish teacher)-”No one has ever gone to heaven except the Son of Man, who came down from heaven” (John 3:13) Jesus told the Jewish authorities ( while teaching) his I come from above, You are from this world, but I am not from this world. If you don’t believe that “I Am Who I Am” (This is the sacred name of Yahwey(God) which God himself had told Moses), You will die in your of Sins.(John 8:2325)…He also tells that they will believe that Jesus is “I am Who I Am” when Jesus die and rise up again.(John 8:28). Biblical God God could have stayed in a remote place without ever creating us. Looks like he cares for us. Else why should he even create us. He is not the type who lives somewhere and demands us to surrender to him like slaves. Christianity believes that God cares for us and wants to live with us. God says, I will make my home with my people and live among them. – Prophecy Lev 26:12, Ezek37:27 Fulfillment 2-Corinth 6:16 • Jesus comes as a human (re-incarnation) in the fullness of time. • “The word (Jesus) was God, the word became flesh and lived among us”. John1:2 He is the sinless, person who is coming to Judge the world…. What if Jesus is part of the God. The teaching that Jesus is part of one God ( 1x1x1 = 1) is a shirk for Islam. But what if it is true. How do you know the ways of God. God is a loving, all caring God. What if there are 3 entities to the same one God. Like three parts of the shamrock leaf, two hands of man or two atoms of the Oxygen molecule( Science says Oxygen atom always stays as a molecule (O2), two atoms combined Holy Trinity • • The Father is God: – “Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Thessalonians 1:2)”. The Son is God– The Word was God. (John 1: 1 -5, 14) Jesus is identified as "the Word." – God the father declares twice “This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased " (Matthew 3:116-17). (Matthew 17:5)". – – – – – – – – – – – • Jesus Claimed to be God (and Son of God) That is the reason why Jesus was crucified. Everyone agree that Jesus won't say lie. There was no need for Jesus to go around, always telling that he was son of God. In critical times he said that by word, and proved it through mighty action and heavenly signs. He claimed to be the divine Son of God, a title the Jews rightly understood to be a claim to equality with God. (John 5:1718; John 10:30-33; John 19:7) Jesus Christ did claim that he was the Son of God. Jesus and the Father ore one. (John 10:30-33) Jesus accepted worship as God and claimed to deserve the same honor as the Father. (Matthew 14:33; 28:17-18; John 5:22-23; 9:38). Jesus does things only God(not prophet) can do to prove his claim. Jesus' disciple Thomas addressed Jesus as "My Lord and my God. (John 20:28) Jesus did not tell Thomas he was mistaken; instead Jesus accepted these titles. But God said about his Son, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter in your kingdom is a scepter for justice. (Hebrews 1:8) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-17) The passages about Jesus' deity: Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1; John 1:18, John 8:58-59; John 10:30; Acts 20:28; Romans 9:5 & 10:9-13; Colossians 1:15-16 Colossians 2:9; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:3,8; 2 Peter 1:1; 1 John 5:20. the very purpose of his Gospel is to establish the Divinity of Jesus Christ (John 20:31). The Holy Spirit is God: – But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost? ... Thou host not lied unto men, but unto God. (Acts 5:3-4) - This verse equates the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) with God. – Now the Lord is that Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:17) - "The Lord" here refers to "the LORD" in the Old Testament verse (Exodus 34:34) Paul had just quoted in the previous verse (2 Corinthians 3:16). More than 60 Bible passages mention the three Persons in Holy Trinity – Matthew 3:16-17 "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." – Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." – 2 Corinthians 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all." – Ephesians 4:4-6 "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." – Titus 3:4-6 "But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior . . ." • See also John 3:34-35; John 14:26; John 15:26; John 16:13-15; Romans 14:17-18; Romans 15:13-17; Romans 15:30; 1 Corinthians 6:11,17-19; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; 2 Corinthians 3:4-6; Galatians 2:21-3:2; Galatians 4:6; Ephesians 2:18; Ephesians 3:11-17; Ephesians 5:18-20; Colossians 1:6-8; 1 Thessalonians 1:1 -5; 1 Thessalonians 4:2,8; 1 Thessalonians 5:18-19; 2 Thessalonians 3:5; Hebrews 9:14; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 John 3:23-24; 1 John 4:13-14; and Jude 20-21. • • • The Apostles and Gospel writers preached the Trinity. The famous church fathers who preached Trinity and their time. – A.D. 96 Clement, the third bishop of Rome A.D. 90-100 The Teachings of the Twelve Apostles, the "Didache" A.D. 90? Ignatius, bishop of Antioch A. D. 155 Justin Martyr, great Christian writer A. D. 168 Theophilus, the sixth bishop of Antioch A. D. 177 Athenagoras, theologian A. D. 180 Irenaeus, bishop of Lyons A. D. 197 Tertullian, early church leader A. D. 264 Gregory Thaurnaturgus, early church leader But Christians believe in only one God. The Bible says there is only one God. But it also calls three distinct Persons "God." Over the centuries people have tried to come up with simple explanations for the Trinity. There are limits to every illustration, but some are helpful. For example, it has been said that God is not 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 God is 1x1x1=1 Holy Trinity When disciples asked to show the heavenly father, Jesus says, “ I and Father are One”. “Whoever sees me sees the Father”. Believe me when I say that I am in the father and the father is in me.. See the things that I am doing. I am telling you the truth. ….(John 14:9:12). He continues (John14:17)... When I ask, the father will send you the Holy spirit who will remain with you always. The holy spirit reveals the truth about God” Jesus last sentence were "Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Matthew 28:19 God has three parts. Father, Son and Holy spirit. Friend, God could have stayed in a remote place without ever creating us. But if he is a good God and if has three parts and if he wants to come and and live with us, who can say NO. He is the sinless, person who is coming to Judge the world…. What if Jesus is part of the God. The teaching that Jesus is part of one God ( 1x1x1 = 1) is a shirk for Islam. But Jesus taught us that Father , son and Holy spirit are one God. . How do you know the ways of God. God is a loving, all caring God. What if there are 3 entities to the same one God. Like three parts of the clover leaf (Is it one leaf or three leaves).

Spread of Christianity is HEAVENLY- based on Life and teachings of Jesus (disciples were eye witness of Christ- They went to different parts of the world without considering any material benefits) and work of holy spirit. Islam’s growth is MILITARY-based on sword and army guided by Jihad heaven and booty. If God is really God, he doesn’t need military. • Christianity may suffer due to the work of Satan as mentioned in the book of revelations. But the church is build by Jesus and he promised gates of hell won’t defeat it. Jesus will comeback for last Judgment. • Don’t think America or the western countries as Christian. Christianity is everywhere. It is being suppressed in Islamic countries though. But God is in control. God like the poor and normal people than the rich and suppressors. • Do you know millions of saints and martyrs have died to build the church. They never took a weapon or played politics. • For example, Even today millions of priests and nuns have sacrificed their biology for Jesus and the growth of the church. They offer holy mass everyday for the Glory of the God. God sees this. • Christianity may look weak but it has the rich culture and support of millions of people who followed what Christ preached – love, non-violence and faithfulness to God. What should Muslim friends do • Pray in your mind to Jesus, so he will guide you. Jesus knows your troubles. Don’t be afraid. If you take one step, God will take two steps towards to you. It is your duty to know and worship your true creator. Try not to do sins. • Join the groups who will support you in the right direction to Jesus. As you learn more your questions will be answered and you will know the way. • Try to become a Christian, so you become a follower of the true Holy Trinity, the real God. • Remember if you rebel, the clever Satan will stop and intimidate you. He will show many wrong examples to stop you. • Remember God is in control and he loves you and your community. Jesus needs you… can you be a small light in the darkness. Belief in Jesus is necessary • You will die in your sins if you donot beleve that “I am Who I Am (God’s holy name)”-John8:24 • Whoever believes in the Son of God is not judged; but whoever does not believe has already been judged since he has not believed in God’s only Son.(John3:18)
