Inimitable Notions of The Glorious Qur'an to The Creation of The Universe 1) Beginning and Stages

The Universe  is created, not eternal :
Astronomical surveys show that the universe contains spots of extreme density and temperature as the star's core, and others of low density and temperature as the interstellar matter.  This diversity is an evidence that the universe is not eternal but created.  Had it been eternal it would have been equal all over in terms of density and temperature due to thermal and pressure equilibrium.
Another proof is the existence of radioactive materials such as radium and uranium, in spite of their limited half-life time.  Also, the recession of galaxies which was discovered only in the first half of the twentieth century is another proof. This latter evidence also underlines the existence of a beginning of the universal expansion. Scientists maintain that the universe emerged after a "big bang' , a formidable explosion- a hypothesis supported by the discoveries during the 1960s of the cosmic background radiation, the temperature of which amounts to 3 kelvin degrees only.

Theories of the origin and evolution of the universe :
Modern books on cosmology abound with ideas, theories, proposals and researches related to the efforts made to develop a theory explaining the origin and the evolution of the great universe. The most important of these can be summed up in the following points :

  1) Two thousand years ago, Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) held that the earth was a fixed center of the universe round which the moon, the sun, planets, and stars revolve in circular orbits.
2) In the second century A.D., Ptolemy- who lived in Egypt- introduced minor amendments to Aristotle's model but still upheld the earth-centered view of the universe.
3) This belief prevailed in the world until the emergence of Islam.  A few years after the foundations of the Islam State were firmly established, the Muslims began to study several branches of knowledge and founded a great civilization world-wide. They readjusted  the Ptolemic model and introduced a new model in which planets revolve round the sun. This model was borrowed by the Polish scientist Copernicus when he moved to Italy (between 1496 and 1503 A.D.) where he studied Islamic astronomy.
4) In the first half of the twentieth century, Alexander Friedmann applied the general theory of relativity to the universe and created models and solutions that all agree on the point that the cosmos is expanding at present.
5) Hubble could support Friedmann's conclusions by  his (Hubble's) scientific discoveries. His measurements proved that distance between galaxies are increasing steadily at velocities that are directly proportional to distance.
6) Friedmann's models entail three possible kinds or forms of the universe :
a) The "Closed Universe" model: the potential energy is more than kinetic energy, which leads to the suspension of the present expansion of the universe, and afterwards to its contraction.
b) The "Open Universe" model: the kinetic energy is more than the potential energy and the universe continues to expand.
c) The "Steady-State Universe" model: the potential and kinetic energies are equal. Therefore, expansion of the universe decreases gradually, but never reaches a zero point in infinity.
7) The American physicist George Gamow (1868-1904), who comes from a Russian origin, suggested that there was a beginning of the universe between 10 and 20 billion years ago in the form of a 'Big Bang' in the 1960s, the radiation or the glow of the cosmos' beginning was discovered, as Gamow had  predicted in the form of microwaves.
8) In 1970s, Hawking and Penrose proved that the universe must, per necessity, have a beginning, known in mathematics as the point of singularity, where density takes the value of infinity .  Nevertheless, science has not been able to reveal what the first moment of the life of the universe was like. The popular model now assumes that immediately after the emergence of the universe, it was a fireball of an extreme density and temperature. Then the fireball began to expand, while its temperature dropped rapidly forming what is known as "radiation soup".
9) About 100,000 years after the emergence of the universe, matter was separated from radiation. For the first time the universe appeared transparent. When the age of the universe reached about 300,000 years, the hydrogen and helium atoms started to be formed.
10) After about 500 million years, galaxies and their systems were formed in a way that has not be scientifically explained so far, in spite of the variety of the proposed models.

The popular model: an overview :
In the beginning - about 10-20 billion years ago – the universe was a handful of high-density hot photons congested in a very small space. Then the handful burst forth and began to expand. Therefore, its density and temperature began to decrease.

In the early fractions of the first moment, the universe was so hot that the temperature reached millions of billions of degrees. It consisted of a mixture of matter and radiation where photons collided, forming elementary particles such as protons and neutrons. These particles neutralized each other, transforming into energy in about 3 minutes and 46 seconds the temperature dropped to about 900 million degrees. So, protons and neutrons began to intermingle forming simple stable atoms (such as heavy hydrogen). In the following hundreds of thousands of years, the matter of the universe became hot and opaque like the star core. After 700,000 years the temperature dropped to 3000 degrees and electrons and protons were fused, forming stable helium atoms. There were no longer electrons where photons diffused. The universe became permeable to photons. Matter and energy were no longer interfused. Rather, they developed independent of one another.
About one billion years after the 'Big Bang', stars and galaxies began to be formed. Matter inside stars grew again and started to radiate due to the  occurrence of nuclear reactions which formed the heavier elements. These, in turn, were the source which developed later into the heavenly bodies we are now able to see and observe.
The theory of the evolving universe which conceives of the existence of a 'Big Bang' rests on the observation of galactic recession and the background radiation. By measuring the velocity of external galaxies it was found out that the recession velocity increases with longer distances. So, if speeds were measured backwards, i.e. in the reversed direction, galaxies should be heading to converge in 10-20 billion, which is the approximate age of the universe.
The background radiation is the photons that existed in the universe when its temperature was about 3,000 degrees, i.e. it was radiated by a body whose heat was 3,000 degrees. Since then, the universe has been receding, with the result that rays are shifted in the direction of the longer wave-lengths. Now waves are in the radio area. The peak of radiation was shifted suggesting that it came from a body measuring 3 degrees in temperature, rather than earlier measures (the radioactivity came from a body of 3000 degrees before the end of interfusion of matter and these photons 700 thousand years after the 'Big Bang').

The Creation of The Universe in The Qur'an :

With this scientific review of the theories and models of the universe's origin, and evolution, let us take a look at one of the ayat (verses) of the Glorious Qur'an (as meaningfully translated):

" Do not the disbelievers see that the heaven and the earth were joined together , before We clove them asunder? (30)" {Surah Al-Anbiya (The Prophets) XXI}.

The ayah (verse) refutes the arguments of the disbelievers who search for theories and creeds to replace the notion of believing  in one Omnipotent God (Allah) Who created everything and the universe itself.

On the other hand, the Qur'anic ayah states that the heavens and earth were joined together (the Qur'anic term is "Ratq", in the sense of union). Taking into account the evolution of the universe since its birth, we will find the first event was the separation of  matter and radiation when the universe was about 100 thousand years old. At that time, matter was formed of nuclei of hydrogen, helium, and some other elements as well as cluster floating in the 'radiation soup'. In this form of matter during the universe's infancy was the origin of all kinds of materials that exist now in the universe whether on earth, or overhead in the sky.

Radiation, or photons, began to lose temperature gradually  as the universe continues to expand. The decline of the temperature reached a point when radiation filled all the universe. Thus the implication of heavens and earth being in union is that matter and radiation were merged together ("Ratq" in Arabic), as the origin of everything in heavens and earth. The "Fatq" (as mentioned in the Arabic text of the Qur'an) cleavage, it is their separation which came later, matter becoming the earth, the planets, the stars, the galaxies and other astronomical material, and radiation becoming the regions of the sky and the horizon of the whole universe, just as modern science informs us.

This is one interpretation of the Glorious ayah. But there can be another. The universe has undergone other formidable and immense upheavals over its long lifetime. One of the astronomical enigmas is the disparity of the age of the universe according to the Hubble law and measurements on the one hand, and that age calculated according to the constituents of the universe – galactical and stellar systems and other materials. According to Hubble's law and measurements, the age of the open universe is about 11 billion years. But the age of the closed universe is estimated at about 7.4 billion years, whereas its systems are estimated to be 12-18 billion years old. One way to solve this riddle is the hypothesis that the universe was about to collapse around 8-10 billion years ago, but then was re-opened (re-expand). According to Hubble, the age of the universe is estimated since it was re-opened onwards, the time preceding the re-opening being excluded. This explains the discrepancy between this age and the age of the constituents or matter of the universe.

If it really happened that the position energy or the gravity of the universe's matter surpassed the kinetic energy, the universe ought to have contracted and collapsed a long time age, unless the Creator  willed it otherwise and stopped the collapse, affecting a new expansion. Only He  who has started creation can re-create it at His will if it hovers on collapse, death or closure (contraction) under its own gravity. If the universe- with its heavens, earth, stars, and galaxies – had neared collapse or closure, who else other than Allah the Omnipotent Creator could have replaced ("Ratq", union; with "Fatq", cleavage, in the Qur'anic terminology), so that heavens, earth and the whole universe would be re-opened (re-expand) again?

This is a testimony that this discourse (The Qur'an) was revealed by Allah to his messenger Muhammad Ben Abdullah (peace be upon him be upon him). It could not have been contrived by a human being more than fourteen centuries ago or even now…!!

60 Questions for the Christian

By Hussein Khalid Al-Hussein

According to most Christians, Jesus was God-incarnate, full man and full God. Can the finite and the infinite be one? "To be full" God means freedom from finite forms and from helplessness, and to be "full man" means the absence of divinity.


1.To be son is to be less than divine and to be divine is to be no one’s son. How could Jesus have the attributes of sonship and divinity altogether?
2.Christians assert that Jesus claimed to be God when they quote him in John 14:9: "He that has seen me has seen the Father". Didn’t Jesus clearly say that people have never seen God, as it says in John 5:37: "And the father himself which Has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have NEITHER HEARD HIS VOICE AT ANY TIME NOR SEEN HIS SHAPE"?
3.Christians say that Jesus was God because he was called Son of God, Son of Man, Messiah, and "savior". Ezekiel was addressed in the Bible as Son of Man. Jesus spoke of "the peace makers" as Sons of God. Any person who followed the Will and Plan of God was called SON OF GOD in the Jewish tradition and in their language (Genesis 6:2,4; Exodus 4:22; Psalm 2:7; Romans 8:14). "Messiah" which in Hebrew means "God’s anointed" and not "Christ", and "Cyrus" the person is called "Messiah" or "the anointed". As for "savior", in II KINGS 13:5, other individuals were given that title too without being gods. So where is the proof in these terms that Jesus was God when the word son is not exclusively used for him alone?
4.Christians claim that Jesus acknowledged that he and God were one in the sense of nature when he says in John 10:30 "I and my father are one". Later on in John 17:21-23, Jesus refers to his followers and himself and God as one in five places. So why did they give the previous "one" a different meaning from the other five "ones?
5.Is God three-in-one and one in three simultaneously or one at a time?
6.If God is one and three simultaneously, then none of the three could be the complete God. Granting that such was the case, then when Jesus was on earth, he wasn’t a complete God, nor was the "father in Heaven" a whole God. Doesn’t that contradict what Jesus always said about His God and our God in heaven, his Lord and our Lord ? Does that also mean that there was no complete god then, between the claimed crucifixion and the claimed resurrection?
7.If God is one and three at a time, then who was the God in heaven when Jesus was on earth? Wouldn’t this contradict his many references to a God in Heaven that sent him?
8.If God is three and one at the same time, who was the God in Heaven within three days between the claimed crucifixion and the claimed resurrect ion?
9.Christians say that: "The Father(F) is God, the Son(S) is God, and the Holy Ghost(H) is God, but the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost is not the Father". In simple arithmetic and terms therefore, if F = G, S = G, and H = G, then it follows that F = S = H, while the second part of the statement suggests that F ¹ S ¹ H (meaning, "not equal"). Isn’t that a contradiction to the Christian dogma of Trinity in itself ?
10.If Jesus was God, why did he tell the man who called him "good master" not to call him "good" because accordingly, there is none good but his God in Heaven alone?
11.Why do Christians say that God is three-in-one and one in three when Jesus says in Mark 12:29: "The Lord our God is one Lord" in as many places as yet in the Bible?
12.If belief in the Trinity was such a necessary condition for being a Christian, why didn’t Jesus teach and emphasize it to the Christians during his time? How were those followers of Jesus considered Christians without ever hearing the term Trinity? Had the Trinity been the spinal cord of Christianity, Jesus would have emphasized it on many occasions and would have taught and explained it in detail to the people.
13.Christians claim that Jesus was God as they quote in John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". This is John speaking and not Jesus. Also, the Greek word for the first occurrence of God is HOTHEOS which means "the God" or "God" with a capital "G", while the Greek word for its second occurrence is "TONTHEOS", which means "a god " or "god" with a small "g". Isn’t this dishonesty and inconsistency on the part of those translating the Greek Bible? ? Isn’t such quotation in John 1:1 recognized by every Christian scholar of the Bible to have been written by a Jew named Philo Alexandria way before Jesus and John?
14.Wasn’t the word "god" or "TONTHEOS" also used to refer to others as well as in II Corinthians 4:4 "(and the Devil is) the god of this world" and in Exodus 7:1 "See , I have made thee (Moses ) a god to Pharaoh"?

SALVATION: 

Christians say that "GOD LOST His only son to save us". To whom did God lose Jesus if he owns the whole universe?
15. If it was agreeable with God’s Majesty to have sons, He could have created a million sons the like of Jesus. So what is the big clear deal about this only son?
16.Why does the Bible say that Jesus wanted to die on the cross, when the one on the cross was shouting "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" according to Matthew 27:45 and Mark 15:33?
17. If God had wanted to save us, couldn’t He have done that without sacrificing Jesus?
18. God is Just, and justice requires that nobody should be punished for the sins of others, nor should some people be saved by punishing other people. Doesn’t the claim that God sacrificed Jesus to save us because He was Just, contradict the definition of justice?
19. People sacrifice things they have to get something they don’t have when they can’t have both. Christians say that "God SACRIFICED His only son to save us". We know that God is Almighty; to whom did He sacrifice Jesus?
20. A real sacrifice is when you can’t get back what you have offered , so what would be the big deal about such a sacrifice if God could recover the same offering? (according to the Christians’ terminology)?
21. If all the Christians are saved through Jesus and are going to Heaven no matter what they do, then the teachings of Jesus are irrelevant and the definition of good and bad are also rendered irrelevant. If this is not so, then do Christians who believe in Jesus yet do not follow his teachings nor repent go to Hell?
22. How can Christians take deeds as irrelevant after becoming one when Jesus says in Matthew 12:36; "But I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment. For by the words thou shalt be justified, and by the words thou shalt be condemned"?
23. Christians say that people go to Heaven ONLY THROUGH JESUS, yet Paul says in 1 CORINTHIANS 7:8-16 that the unbelieving husband is acceptable to God because he is united with his wife and vice versa, and their pagan children are also acceptable to God. So people can go to heaven without believing in Jesus according to this.
24. How come the Bible says that ALL Israel is saved although they don’t believe in Jesus? Doesn’t that contradict the claim in the Bible that the only way to heaven is through Jesus?
25. According to Christians, those who have not been baptized will go to Hell. So even the infants and babies go to Hell if not baptized, since they are born with an inherited original sin. Doesn’t this contradict the definition of justice? Why would God punish people for sins they never committed?

HOLY SPIRIT: 

The only place in the Bible where the Paraclete was called the Holy Spirit is in John 14:26 "But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you". What has the Holy Spirit brought or taught for the last 2000 years?

26.Christians say that the Paraclete means the Holy Spirit (John 14;26). Jesus said in John 16:7-8 "If I do not go away the Paraclete will not come to you". This could not mean the Holy spirit, since the Holy spirit was said to have been there before Jesus was even born as in Luke 1:41 "Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit". Here, the Holy spirit was also present during Jesus life time. So how could this fit with the condition that Jesus must go away so that the Holy spirit will come?
27.In John 16:7-8, it says: "But if go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world of sins and of righteousness and of Judgment". What do "he" and "him" refer here? Don’t they refer to a man?
28.Does the Holy Spirit talk to good Christians and bad Christians as well? Is the Holy spirit with them all the time or just at certain times? When does it start visiting a person who wants to become a Christian?
29.How can you as a Christian tell if the Holy Spirit is inside another Christian? How come many Christians fooled people by claiming that the Holy spirit was inside them only to be converted to another religion later on ?
30.Does the Holy Spirit dictate what Christians should do without choice or freedom at all or does it only guide them and they have the freedom to follow or not ?
31.If the Holy Spirit dictates what Christian should do, why do Christians commit sins and make mistakes ? How can you explain the conversion to other religions and atheism of many Christians? Are they told to do that by the Holy Spirit?
32.If the Holy Spirit guides Christians only, and they are free to do what they want, then how do we know that the writers of the Gospels didn’t make mistakes in writing them?
33.If Christians believe that the Holy Spirit comes and talks to them everyday, why don’t they ask the Holy Spirit about which version of the Bible to follow since there are too many versions floating around?

MISSION OF JESUS: 

Without borrowing from other religions and systems, can Christianity provide people with a complete way of life? Since Christianity is limited to spiritual life and does not provide law, how can a society decide which laws are right or wrong?
34.Why do the Christians say that Jesus came with a universal mission when he said that he was sent to the Jews only? He said to the Canaanite woman who asked him to heal her daughter from demon-possession: "I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel" and also said: "It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to their dogs", Matthew 15:21-28.

RESSURECTION: 

If you read Matthew (28:1-10), Mark (16:1-20), Luke (24:1-12), and John (20: 1-18), you will find contradicting stories. They all agreed that the tomb was guarded for three days. However, they reported the discovery of the empty tomb differently.
·  Matthew (28) and John (20) reported that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were the first to discover the tomb.
·  Mark (16) reports that Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome were the first to discover the empty tomb.
·  Mark (28) reports that there was an earthquake that removed the rock from over the tomb. He says that an angel caused it. The other gospels do not mention of an earthquake.
·  Matthew and Mark say that only ONE man in white clothes was sitting on the tomb when the woman arrived, and that he was an angel.
·  Luke says that TWO men in white clothes, who were angels, were sitting. Johns says that the two women did not meet anybody the first time they came to the tomb, but when they returned, they saw TWO people, ONE was an ANGEL, and the other was JESUS.
·  Matthew reports that when the guards reported this to the chief priest, the chief priest paid them a large sum of money, telling them: "You have to say that his disciples came at night and stole his body." He claims that the soldiers took money and spread the story around and since then, the story had been circulating among the Jews until today (according to Matthew). The other gospels do not report of any such thing.
35. Which narration now is more authentic?
36.Why is the appearance of Jesus after the crucifixion taken as a proof of his resurrection when there is an explanation that he was not dead because someone else was crucified in his place when God saved Him?
37.How did Matthew know of the claimed agreement between the soldiers and the chief priest? Can’t someone say that someone paid the women a large sum of money and told them to spread the word around that Jesus rose from the dead, with the same authenticity as that of the story of Matthew?
38.Why did they believe that man in the white clothes? Why did they believe he was an angel? John’s narration is too strange, since he says that Mary did not recognize Jesus (one of the two) while talking to him, and she only recognized him when he called her by her name.
39.How does an empty tomb prove that Jesus was crucified ? Isn’t it that God is capable of removing another man from the tomb, and of resurrecting him too?
40.The Gospels are believed to be the verbatim words of God, they are supposed to be dictated by the Holy Spirit to the Disciples who wrote them. If the source were the same, why shouldn’t they correspond with each other in reporting such an important event?
41.How could Matthew, Mark, Luke and John be considered eyewitnesses of resurrection when the Bible implies that nobody at all saw Jesus coming out of the tomb?

BIBLE: 

If the Christians consider the Old Testament as God’s Word, why did they cancel the parts of the Old Testament that dealt with punishment (example: the punishment for adultery)?
42.Why doesn’t Mark 16:9-20 exist in as many versions of the Bible while it exists as a footnote or between brackets in some other versions? Is a footnote in the Bible still considered as God’s word, especially when it addresses an important feature like the Ascension?
43.Why does the Catholic Bible contain 73 books while the Protestant Bible has only 66? With both claiming to have the complete Word of God, which one should be believed and why?
44.Where do those new translations of the Bible keep coming from when the original Bible is not even available ? The Greek manuscripts which are translations themselves are not even similar with each other.
45.How can you take two gospels from writers who never met Jesus, like Mark and Luke?
46.Why is half of the New Testament written by a man who never even met Jesus in his lifetime? PAUL claimed with no proof that he had met Jesus while on his way from Jerusalem to Damascus. PAUL was the main enemy of Christianity. Isn’t that reason enough to question the authenticity of what he wrote? Why do the Christians call those books of the Old Testament "God’s Word" when the revisors of the RSV Bible say that some of the authors are UNKNOWN? They say that the author of SAMUEL is "UNKNOWN" and that of CHRONICLES is "UNKOWN, PROBABLY COLLECTED AND EDITED BY EZRA"!

CONTRADICTIONS:

47.Concerning the controversial issues in the Bible, how can Christians decide by two-thirds majority what is God’s Word and what is not, as the prefaces of some Bibles say like that one of the RSV ?
48.Why does Luke in his gospel report the Ascension on Easter Day, and in the Acts, in which he is recognized as the author, FORTY days later?
49.The genealogy of Jesus is mentioned in Matthew and Luke only. Matthew listed 26 forefathers from Joseph to David while Luke enumerated 41 forefathers. Only Joseph matches with Joseph in those two lists. Not a single other name matches! If these were inspired by God word by word, how could they be different? Some claim that one is for Mary and one is for Joseph, but where does it says Mary in those two Gospels?
50.If Moses wrote the first books of the Old Testament, how could Moses write his own obituary? Moses died in the fifth book at age 120 as mentioned in Deut. 34:5-10.
51.In the King James Version, why does it report SEVEN years of famine in II SAMUEL 24:13 while it reports THREE years of famine in I CHRONICLES 21:12? Why did they change both to THREE years in the New International Version and other versions?
52.Still In the same King James Version, why does it say that Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign in II CHRONICLES 21:12, while it says EIGHTEEN years in II KINGS 24:8? Why did thessey change in both to EIGHTEEN in the new Versions?
53.In all versions, why does it say that David slew the men of SEVEN HUNDRED chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand HORSEMEN as evidenced in II Samuel 10:18 while its says SEVEN THOUSAND men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand FOOTMEN, in I CHRONICLES 19:18?
54.In all versions, why does it report TWO thousand baths in I KINGS 7:26 while II CHRONICLES 4:5 reports THREE THOUSAND?
55.In the King James version, why does it report that Solomon had FOUR THOUSAND stalls for horses in II CHRONICLES 9:25 while it accounts that Solomon had FORTY THOUSAND stalls of horses in 1 KINGS 4:26? Why did they change both to FOUR THOUSAND in the new versions?
56.In GENESIS 1, God’s creation progresses from grass to trees to fowls, whales, cattle and creeping things and finally to man and woman. GENESIS 2, however, puts the creation of man before cattle and fowl and woman subsequent to beast. How can this be explained?

QUR’AN AND CHRISTIANS:

This section does not inquire or interrogate, but rather provides the reader with some of the Qur’anic verses that address the Christians in particular, and the people of the scripture in general. A great portion of the Qur’an pertains to or involves the Christians and the Jews and I decided to just choose verses that are related to the topic of this manuscript.

·  "Lo! The likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, then said unto him: Be, and he was." Al-Qur’an 3:59.

"Say: O People of the Scripture! Come to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for Lords besides Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered (unto him).
"O People of the Scripture! Why will you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were revealed till after him? Have you then no sense?
Abraham was not a Jew, nor yet a Christian; but he was an upright man who had surrendered (to Allah), and he was not of the idolaters.
Lo! Those of mankind who have the best claim to Abraham are those who followed him, and his Prophet and those who believe (with him); and Allah is the Protector of the believers.
A party of the People of the Scripture longs to make you go astray; and they make none to go astray except themselves, but they perceive not.
O People of the Scripture! Why disbelieve you in the revelations of Allah, when you (yourselves) bear witness to their truth?
O People of the Scriptures! Why confound you truth with falsehood and knowingly conceal the Truth? (Al-Qur’an 3: 64-71)

And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him and in the hereafter, He will be one of the losers (Al-Qur’an 3:85).

 And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, and Allah’s messenger. They slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them, and Lo! Those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain:
But Allah took him up unto Himself. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise. (Al-Qur’an 4:157-158).

O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter ought concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him, so believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three"! Cease! (it is ) better for you! Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as defender.
The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto Allah, nor will the favored angels. Whosoever scorns His service and is proud, all such will assemble unto Him.
Then, as for those who believed and did good works, unto them will He give them their wages in full, adding unto them of His bounty; and as for those who were scornful and proud, then He will punish with a painful doom." (Al-Qur’an 4:171-173).

"And with those who say Lo! We are Christians, We made a covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were admonished. Therefore We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork.
O People of the Scripture! Now has our messenger come unto you, expounding unto you much of that which you used to hide in the Scripture, and forgiving much. Now has come unto light from Allah and plain scripture:
Whereby Allah guides him who seeks His good pleasure unto paths of peace, He brings them out of darkness unto light by His decree, and guides them unto a Straight Path.
They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the messiah, son of Mary. Say: Who then can do aught against Allah if he had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? Allah’s is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He creates what he wills. And Allah is able to do all things. (Al-Qur’an 5:14:17).

"They surely disbelieve who say; Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O children if Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and you Lord. Lo! Whosoever ascribes partners unto Allah, for him Allah has forbidden Paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evildoers ,there will be no helpers.
They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the third of the three; when there is no God save the One God. If they desist not from so saying, a painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve.
Will they not rather turn unto Allah and seek forgiveness of Him? For Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful.
Say: Serve you in place of Allah that which possesses for you neither hurt nor use? Allah is the Hearer, the Knower.
Say: O People of the Scripture! Stress not in your religion other than the Truth, and follow not the vain desire of folks who erred of old and led many astray, and erred from a plain road." (Al-Qur’an 5:72-77)

"And when Allah says: O Jesus, son of Mary: Did you say unto mankind: take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?, he says: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then You Knew it, You know what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Your mind. Lo! You, only You, are the knower of things hidden.
I spoke unto them only that which You commanded me (saying); worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when You took me, You were the Watcher over them. You are witness over all things.
If You punish them, Lo! They are Your slaves, and if you forgive them (Lo! They are Your slaves). Lo! You, only you are the Mighty, the Wise.
Allah says: This is a day in which their truthfulness profits the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they are secure forever, Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him. That is the great triumph. (Al-Qur’an 5:116-119)

"And the Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah’, and the Christians say: ‘The Messiah is the son of Allah’. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah fights against them. How perverse they are!
They have taken as Lord besides Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One God. There is no God save Him. Be He glorified from all that they ascribe as partners (unto him)!
Faint would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah disdains (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse.
He it is Who has sent His messenger with guidance and the Religion of Truth, to cause it to prevail over all religions, however much the idolaters may be averse.
O you who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly and debar (people) from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom.
On the Day when it will (all) be heated in the fire of Hell, and their foreheads and their flanks and their backs will be branded therewith (and it will be said unto them): Here is that which you hoarded for yourselves. Now taste of what you used to hoard." (Al-Qur’an 9:30-35).

MUHAMMAD OR JESUS?

Christians claim that the prophecy in Deut. 18:18 refers to Jesus and not Muhammad. The verse says: "I will raise them up a prophet from among THEIR BRETHREN, LIKE UNTO THEE, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." The only reason they resort to such interpretation is that both Moses and Jesus were prophets. Even this one contradicts their claim that Jesus was God and not a Prophet. Many prophets of the Jews had the similarity with Moses. However, if we compare Muhammad to Moses, we will find that:
Muhammad was an Arab, and the Arabs are from Ishmael, son of Abraham, while Moses was a Jew, and the Jews are from Isaac, son of Abraham. Hence, the term THEIR BRETHREN refers to the children of the first son being brethren of the children of the other. This couldn’t apply to Jesus, since he was a Jew.
According to the Christians, Jesus went to Hell for three days while Moses did not. Therefore, Jesus is not like Moses. (In Islam, none of the three Prophets went to Hell)
Moses and Muhammad were born to fathers and mothers while Jesus was born to a mother alone.
Moses and Muhammad got married and had children, while Jesus did not marry at all.
Moses and Muhammad got problems and difficulties from their people initially, but were accepted by them at the end., whereas Jesus was rejected by his people at the start and is still rejected by the Jews until today. "He (Jesus) came unto his own, but his own received him not".( John 1:11)
Moses and Muhammad had power, besides being prophets. They both performed some capital punishments, for example, while Jesus had no power over his people. "My kingdom is not of this world", Jesus said in John 18:36 .
Moses and Muhammad brought new laws while Jesus did not.
Moses was forced to emigrate in adulthood to Median while Muhammad was forced to emigrate at that stage in his life too, towards Madina . Whereas Jesus did not have such forced emigration in his adulthood .
Moses and Muhammad both died of natural deaths after which they were buried ,while the same could not be said of Jesus. He was neither killed nor crucified at all, according to the Qur’an and did not die a ‘natural’ death as could be affirmed by Christians who believe in Crucifixion.

FINAL QUESTIONS:

57.Why won’t you, Christian reader, come to hear and learn of the true religion of Jesus?
58.Have you, as a Christian , learned of Islam and if so, was it from the true Muslims?
59.As a Christian, do you agree that out of fairness and honesty you must investigate what Islam says about God, Jesus, including this life and the hereafter?
60.Being a Christian, do you also believe that we must all stand accountable to our Creator and that the Creator is Perfect and Just? As a sincere believer in God, don’t you owe it upon yourself to find out the entire unadulterated truth regardless of the consequences?

Who is Muhammad

Magdy Abdalshafy

His Name:
Muhammad( also Ahmed),both give the same meaning," the Praised one". Please note the lateral meaning of Muhammad and Ahmed in Arabic is "the praised one"
The prophet’s name, Muhammad is mentioned in the Old Testament, the new testament and  the ancient codices of the Holy Book, and the ancient holy books.
(1)  The Prophet Muhammad is the Paraclete( now purposefully mistranslated as the comforter ) in the New Testament, (John 15:26 RHE). The correct English translation of” the Greek word "Paraclete”, is” the praised one, exactly as the word" Muhammad" means.
(2)  He is also "Shiloh" in Genesis 49:10. The word Shiloh as the well-reputed priest David Benjamin Keldani,  who later became a Muslim, says it refers to the Prophet Muhammad.
He still there by the same name “Muhammad” in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament in the Song of Songs, Chapter 5. The Hebrew text can be transliterated as follows:
dodi we -zeh reI benoth -yerushalayi Hikko mamtaqqim we -khullo Mahamaddim zeh،،
( please watch this video)

In the Hindu book, these are his names:

1- Narashans , a Sanskrit word which means” the praised one in the Atharva Veda.
2- Muhammad in the Bhavishya Puran (Bhavishya Purana in the Prati Sarag, Parv III, Khand 3,Adhay 3, Shloka 5 to 8.).
 3- Mahaaamd in the Mahabharat in the Hindu book.
 4- Maitreya in the Buddhist Scriptures, the word “Maitreya” means "mercy". The Arabic word for mercy is "rahmat". "Rahmat" is an epithet given to the prophet Muhammad by God in Qur’an! God refers to him as:
"Rahmatan lil Alameen", which means "Mercy unto the worlds" (21:07)

In Persian  Scriptures

the name of the expected prophet is be Astvat-ereta or Soeshyant. Astvat-ereta means "the Praised one", the same meaning of Muhammad in Arabic. Also, Soeshyant means mercy to the worlds, which is an epithet given to the Prophet Muhammad in the Holy Quran.

His Birth Time:

The prophet Muhammad was born on 12th of Rabi` ul Awwal in the Year of Elephant (Aam` ul-Feel)[corresponding to 570 C.E.]

Prophet Muhammad was born in 570 CE or 571.

  His birth time was prophesied in the Testament of Moses in Pseudepigraapha, a holy chapter that once was held as sacred writings and now is considered as a source for understanding the Holy Scriptures.

His birth time is also predicted in the book of Antioch chapter (93 and 94).

His Parent:

 His father died before his birth and his mother died six years later. His father’s name was "Abdulla", which literally means "the slave of God." There is a reference to the prophet Muhammad by the names of his father and mother in the Hindu scripture, the name of the father of the prophet "Khali Avatar",i.e, thelast prophet would be VISHNUBHAGAT, whose translation means “the salve of God”, exactly as the Arabic proper name "Abdullah" means.

Prophet Muhammad’s mother’s name was Amina, an Arabic word which means” safety”. According to the Hindu scripture, the mother’s name of the Khali Avatar would be “SUMAANI”, which means” Security”. So there is a strong reference to the expected prophet in the Hindu Holy Book by the name of his father and mother.

Please note that the Khali Avatar, according to the Hindu scripture, is a prophet who would come to guide the Hindus, also note that the Jews also are still waiting for a certain prophet to guide them. This prophet whom all the holy books discussed was Muhammad but each nation; though they don't have any references in their holy book that he would be among themselves, still insists that he would be from among themselves.

His career before being a appointed a prophet by God

A shepherd, merchant and eventually a prophet.

His birth place

Mekka, also Baca or Paran

Prophet Muhammad was born in Baca, the holy city of the Muslims; there is reference to Baca in Psalm: 48 as the place to which the followers of the expected prophet would travel to do pilgrimage.

The Locust of his First Revelation

Prophet Muhammad used to retire from the world in Paran Mountain before he was appointed a prophet; Paran was the ancient name of "alnour mountain", where he received the first revelation.

There is a reference to the place in which  the expected prophet(Muhammad) would receive his first revelation (Deuteronomy 33:2); Both Baca (NIV Bible, Psalms 84:5-6) and Paran (the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 33:2) are referred to in the Old Testament as the locus of the new message of Prophet Muhammad.

In the Hindu scripture there is a strong reference to Baca as the place in which the kalki Avatar would be born.

Evidence to his prophet-hood

1-     Physical miracles

These started as early as his childhood and continued till he died.

 among these miracles are  splitting the moon into halves, multiplying food and water, healing the ill, non-animate objects gloried God's name in his hands, water spouted from his hands and many others which outnumbered all the miracles in the Holy Book.

2-     Prophecies

 Some of these  came true in his age and the following age and even now, among these which happened in the our modern age  is conquering the space, the moral decadence, the gulf-war, economic blockade on Iraq and Syria, surrogacy, modern means of transportation, the climatic change, the invention of Tv and radio, the mobile phone…etc

3-     Mental evidences such his infinite endurance in the face of torture and persecution, surviving all the attempts on his life and many others.

4-     The Holy Quran, his Holy book, which called to challenge the most poetic people to produce a similar verse of its, it also contains many scientific statements that are in complete agreement with modern sciences, examples of these are the Big Bang, the gaseous state of the universe, the expansion of the universe, the black hole, the Pulsar, the day layer, the cycle of the clouds, the geological layers of the earth, the internal waves in deep seas, the sea bed fissures, the development of the human embryo, matter and anti-matter, the motion of the sun and the moon, mountains. The way the sun and the moon will end their lives,

5-      Also the Holy Quran also contains prophecies that came true in the time of the prophet and even now, among the prophecies that have been fulfilled in our modern times are  the age of submarines, huge ships, pollution and many others.

His Family: 12 wives, three male children, four daughters

Like all the prophets in the Old Testament, the Prophet Muhammad was polygamous. The reasons why he married nine wives, a general custom at that time, was either to protect widows from the danger of murder by their unbelieving family after their husband’s death or to honour some people (Abu-Bakr and Umar) or to bring more people to Islam or to support the poor among them; they all were widows and old except one, they all played great roles in imparting the wisdom the prophet said when at home.

His enemies

Unlike Jesus who was sent to a nation of believers, Prophet Muhammad appeared among a pagan   nation; he was persecuted and even beaten but he at the end was triumphant over all of his enemies. This torture and persecution was predicted in the Apocalypse of Abraham.  

His Holy Book: The Holy Quran

The Holy Quran is the literal word of God, no words or letter was changed since it was revealed first time.

The total number of the letters in the Arabic version of the Holy Quran all over the world is "323671".

The total number of the words of the Holy Quran in the Arabic version all over the world is"77439"

The total number of verses of the Holy Quran in the Arabic version all over the world is"6236".

His qualifications

The Prophet hadn't received any kind of education, he was illiterate. He lived in the desert. His illiteracy is a sign of his prophet-hood because if he had any kind of education, his enemies would have said that he authored his book through learning.

His Achievements

1-     He eradicated idol-worshiping in the Arab Peninsula within twenty three years and lifted a nation from the mire of paganism and brought them to the light of Islam.

His Death : Twelfth of Rabi’ al-Awwal (June 8, 632 A.D.) at the age of sixty-three

Months after performing the Hajj (Farewell Pilgrimage), Prophet Muhammad fell ill. He continued to lead the congregation prayers. After one of these prayers he invoked special blessings on the martyrs of Uhud, and then addressed the Muslims:

“There is a slave among the slaves of Allah (The One God) to whom God has offered the choice between this world and that which is with Him, and the slave has chosen that which is with God.”

Upon hearing this Abu Bakr (ra) wept as he understood that the Prophet was talking about himself and that the choice meant his imminent death. The Prophet continued:

“I warn you O Muslims to be good to the Ansar (the Helpers, i.e., those residents of Medina who helped the Emigrants from Mecca). They have performed their duty well. Muslims will increase in number but Ansar will dwindle and be as salt in a meal.

“Woe to the nations before you who worshiped the tombs of their prophets. I forbid you to do that. O people, the most unselfish of men to me in his companionship is Abu Bakr, and if I were to take from mankind an inseparable friend he would be Abu Bakr - but the brotherhood of faith is ours until God unite us in His presence. O my dear daughter Fatimah and O my dear aunt Safiyah, spend your efforts in the way of the hereafter for I will not be able to help you against the Will of Allah.

“I go before you and I am your witness. Your meeting with me is at the pool (a lake fed by the celestial river Kawthar where believers will quench their thirst on their entry into paradise.). I fear not for you that you will set up gods beside Allah (The One God); but I fear for you that you will rival one another in worldly gains.”
