The books try to find a solution to the fights and wars which are initiated everyday especially due to differences in religious thoughts and how politicians misuse these differences to spread hatric among people.
This passage is a sermon delivered by evangelist Billy Graham calling young people to dedicate their lives fully to following Jesus Christ. Graham argues that true discipleship requires total self-denial, willingness to suffer, and sacrifice up to death like the biblical figures of Abraham, Moses, Daniel, and Paul. He challenges listeners to march under the banner of Jesus rather than other causes and to live disciplined lives of surrender like cadets at West Point. Graham claims few are willing to truly pay the price of discipleship and that Christianity requires struggle and battle against Satan's temptations.
The conceptual tools referred in this text are the ones which I organised for making sense of the terms of political and cultural critique in 1994 at International Students House. I used the same for calling for global acceptance of monotheistic framework. By 2010, I discovered the divinely chosen leadership for humanity at the seat of prophet Mohammad SUH and HP which I have been writing about these days. The text begins with a call for uniting in recognition of the divinely chosen leadership in a letter to some muslim communicators who for last 9 years have been rejecting the clear chain of Fatemi Khalifatullah at the seat of prophet Mohammad SUH and HP. These are supportive of the groups engaged in violence in the name of Islam. I have been countering them on how all the violence of Talibaan is Satanic.
I could have the privilege of learning on the chain of divinely chosen leadership post debates and personal analysis of the history of humanity.
The document discusses the importance of interfaith dialogue for promoting peace and understanding between religions. It provides background on Dialogue International, a non-profit organization established in Turkey in 2001 to improve dialogue between faiths. The organization hosts interfaith panels and conferences, documentary screenings, and trips to promote respect, understanding, and tolerance among people of different religious backgrounds. In particular, it highlights Turkey's historical role in fostering dialogue given its location at the crossroads of religions and cultures, and references the works of Rumi and Fethullah Gulen as important advocates for interfaith harmony.
The document argues that claims of Prophet Muhammad being lustful or overly focused on marrying women are incorrect. It provides historical and religious context showing that polygamy was commonly practiced in previous religions and prophets' lives, and that Islam instituted limits and conditions on it. The document also highlights Prophet Muhammad's pious and selfless character through his actions and lifestyle, arguing that a lustful man could not have accomplished what he did or been so highly regarded.
The document provides an autobiographical summary of the author's experience growing up in the Worldwide Church of God, which she describes as having been labeled a "cult" by mainstream Christianity. As a child, she believed the teachings that members of the WWCG were the only true Christians and would be taken to a place of safety in Petra, Jordan during the end times. The author discusses some of the unusual beliefs and practices of the WWCG, such as keeping certain Old Testament laws and customs, and shares stories from attending religious festivals as a child and young adult in the organization.
Love in the quran by hrh prince ghazi bin muhammaddocsforu
Examining at least one verse from every chapter of the Qur'an, and citing more than one-fifth of the entire text, this study analyzes what the Islamic holy book has to say about love. More than simply exploring the well-trodden subjects of love of God and love of neighbor, however, this book discusses familial love, friendship, the stages of falling in love, sexual love, extramarital love, beauty, taste, and many more. This work is essential reading not only for Muslims and scholars of Islam and Qur'an, but anyone interested in the secrets and mysteries of love.
Professor HRH Prince Ghazi of Jordan is an interfaith activist and author. He obtained his first PhD from Cambridge U. and his second PhD from Al-Azhar U. He is the author of the World Interfaith Harmony Week United Nations General Assembly Resolution in October 2010.

The editor's note discusses the history and impact of the book, which was first published in 1958 and has been reprinted dozens of times. It provides guidance on improving interpersonal relationships based on Islamic teachings.
The foreword was written by Khurshid Ahmad. It discusses the need for compassion and brotherhood in a world divided by conflict.

What does it mean to be unequally yoked? I contend that, given the literary of cultural/historical context of 2 Corinthians 6:14, Paul is most likely telling the Corinthian church not to become partners with those who were engaging in idol feasts in pagan temples -- for they (the church) are the temple of the Living God (cf. 1 Cor 3:16, 1 Cor 6:19).
Though few worship idols at pagan temples in our society today, there are several idols that are certainly worshiped (money, power, sexual immorality, self, etc.). As in the first century, we in the 21st century should not join others in idolatrous practices.

This document provides a summary of a sermon delivered by Charles S. Price. The sermon discusses how the laver in the Old Testament tabernacle, which was made from polished brass mirrors, represented God's word as a mirror that shows people their true spiritual condition. It explains that people cannot see their own sins and shortcomings until they look into God's word. The sermon encourages listeners to look into the Bible and see themselves as God sees them, rather than comparing themselves to others or relying on their own self-righteousness. It stresses the importance of recognizing one's need for salvation through Jesus Christ.
The document discusses an interfaith community project aimed at promoting understanding between people of different religious beliefs. It provides quotes from religious texts that promote values like compassion, justice, forgiveness and peace. It encourages forming community organizations where people of various faiths can work on joint projects to help those in need and improve relationships. The goal is to create a more united society by overcoming misunderstandings and respecting different cultures and beliefs.
- Gideon's army was originally 32,000 men but God reduced it to only 300 to fight the Midianites so that the victory could not be attributed to the size of the army but to God.
- Gideon's 300 men surrounded the Midianite camp at night, blew trumpets, broke clay pitchers with lamps inside to create light and noise, and scared the Midianites into fleeing and killing each other in the chaos.
- Though a small force, God's way led to victory, showing that strategic surprise can overcome larger forces and that God's methods may seem unusual but are always best.

Islam, a short introduction, signs, symbols and values by abdulkader tayobtopbottom1
This document provides an overview of the origins and significance of the Islamic call to prayer from the minaret. It begins by recounting the story of Bilal, a former African slave who was the first to give the call to prayer at the direction of the Prophet Muhammad. The call to prayer originated as an alternative to using bells or bugles to gather people for worship, as was done by other faiths. The call to prayer from the minaret has since come to symbolize the presence of Islam and serves as a reminder of Bilal's steadfast proclamation of faith despite facing persecution as a slave. The minaret and call to prayer can be explored from various religious and symbolic perspectives.
Pope Francis' visit to Iraq is summarized as follows:
1) The Pope visited several holy sites in Iraq including Najaf, Ur, and Baghdad. In Najaf, he met with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the top Shiite cleric in Iraq.
2) In Ur, considered the birthplace of Abraham, the Pope participated in an interreligious meeting where he emphasized the common heritage of Jews, Christians and Muslims.
3) The Pope's visit concluded with a mass at the Chaldean Cathedral in Baghdad where he preached about living according to Jesus' Beatitudes and experiencing God's promises through human weakness.
The document summarizes a community meeting held by Judson Fellowship. It includes prayers, songs, and a discussion about the meaning of community and serving others. Participants are reminded that according to the Bible, anyone they encounter can be considered part of their community, including enemies. Upcoming events are announced, including a worship prep meeting and a Super Bowl party. The meeting then closes with a prayer.
This document provides an analysis and discussion of the biblical text Haazinu. It examines various passages from the text, discussing imagery of water, God caring for the Israelites like an eagle cares for its young, and warnings against worshipping false gods. The analysis notes how Moses wants to draw the people's minds to past redemption and calls them to faithfully observe God's teachings for long life in the promised land. While containing warnings, the text also conveys hopeful themes through Moses' words to be taken to heart by future generations.

1. The Uncritical Lover - One who enjoys the Quran without questioning, finding answers to all needs within it.
2. The Scholarly Lover - One who wants to explain the Quran's virtues in detail to convince others of its sublime nature.
3. The Critical Lover - One who questions aspects to gain a deeper understanding while maintaining devotion.
4. The Friend of the Lover - An outsider who asks questions to understand the relationship, but may be seen as disruptive.

Lecture Lahore Islam in Comparison with Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad
of Qadianas
The Promised Messiah and Mahdi
Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at
other Religions of India
About the Author
Born in 1835 in Qadian (India), Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad,
the Promised Messiah and Mahdias, devoted himself to the
study of the Holy Quran and to a life of prayer and devotion.
Finding Islam the target of foul attacks from all directions and
the fortunes of Muslims at a low ebb, he, as the Imam and the
voice articulate of the age, undertook the task of vindicating
Islam and presenting its teachings in their pristine purity. In his
vast corpus of writings, lectures, discourses, religious debates
etc., he argued that Islam was the only living faith, by
following which, man could establish contact with his Creator
and enter into communion with Him. He announced that God
had appointed him the Messiah and Mahdi, according to the
prophecies of the Bible, the Holy Quran and Ahadith. In 1889
he began to accept initiation into his Jama‘at, which is now
established in over a hundred and eighty countries. He wrote
more than eighty books in Urdu, Arabic and Persian.
After his demise in 1908, the Promised Messiahas was
succeeded by Khulafa (Successors), who have continued his
mission. Hadrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Vat,
is the present head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at and the
fifth Successor of the Promised Messiahas.
About the Book
Islam in comparison with other Religions of India, which is
commonly known as Lecture Lahore, was written by the
Promised Messiahas and was read out in his presence by Maulana
‘Abdul Karim Sahib Sialkoti before a large gathering in Lahore
on 3rd September, 1904. This lecture contains a comparativeteachings of Islam to be superior to those of other religions.
The Promised Messiahas says the reason for the deluge of sin in
the present age is the lack of awareness about God, and this
can be remedied neither by the Christian doctrine of
Redemption nor by the teachings laid down in the Vedas. True
and perfect awareness about God, which can only be attained
through direct communion with the Almighty, can only be
attained through Islam, for other religions have once and for all
closed upon themselves the door to Divine revelation.

2) The portfolio starts with black and white pieces representing sophistication and restrained emotions, then adds some bright color for more attitude and temperament. Browns represent seriousness but with warmth, evoking stronger feelings, while pastels depict delicate, feminine feelings. Contrasting colors represent bold assertion.
3) Primary colors were then investigated - blue for stability and lack of friendliness, yellow for confidence and optimism, and red for courage, survival, and strength. The final piece infuses all three primary
The document describes various culture media and methods used for growing fungi. It lists different types of basal, nutritionally deficient, enriched/selective, and biochemical test media. Specific media such as Sabouraud's dextrose agar, corn meal agar, and bird seed agar are also described. The document outlines procedures for culturing fungi from samples like blood, tissues, swabs, urine, and peritoneal fluid. Incubation typically occurs at 25-30°C initially and sometimes at 35-37°C for dimorphic fungi.

Exercise provides numerous health benefits such as controlling weight, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, and reducing the risk of diabetes, strokes, and depression. While many people feel stressed and fatigued, daily exercise changes brain chemistry to improve mood. A good goal is 30 minutes of physical activity per day, or brief bouts if short on time, including activities like walking, jogging, team sports, yoga, or pilates to stay motivated and consistent.

Deobandi tablighi jamaat ill aqaid exposed with Proof from their Books (english)Madni Vadhariya
This document introduces a call for justice written by Allama Mohammed Arshad-ul-Qadri regarding religious differences between Ahle Sunnah scholars and Deobandi scholars. It outlines three foundations of differences: (1) Insolent writings by early Deobandi scholars insulting the Prophet Muhammad; (2) Denying the finality of prophethood of Muhammad; (3) Comparing Muhammad's knowledge unfavorably to Satan's. When Ahle Sunnah scholars confronted Deobandi scholars about these issues, the Deobandi scholars did not repent and remove the writings. The document urges readers to consider the attacks on Muhammad's honor rather than see it as a mere scholarly dispute.

Federal Authorities Urge Vigilance Amid Bird Flu Outbreak | The Lifesciences ...The Lifesciences Magazine
Federal authorities have advised the public to remain vigilant but calm in response to the ongoing bird flu outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu.
10. INTRODUCTION
What is going on in our world? Is it really a human world or an animal forest?. If
we are humans; why are all these wars that are running allover the globe in the last
twenty years? Terrible wars and fights in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Gaza and some
years ago in Kosova, modern revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Syria.
Most of these wars and fights are political, others are religious or political caused by
variations in religious beliefs.
It appears that the majority of these wars are against Muslims especially what
happened in Kosova and what is running in Gaza and this gave the Muslims a bad
impression about the others and let them think in what others planning against them. I
had also the same impression until I visited Europe and contacted others from
different contries and different religions. My first contact with nonmuslims was in
Germany at Goethe-Institut in Mannheim. At this institute, I met a lot of students
from all parts of the world. Each student has his own culture, religion, belief and
behavior. Of course, questions about the religions must have been released. The
youth would like to know about the belief of the others either Muslims, Christians,
Jews or disbelievers. Perhaps each student has read in any book about the other
religions but each one would like to know the truth from the other directly.
Although there have been a lot of controversy since each one is prejudiced in
favour of his belief, the relation between them was very friendly. They were eating
together, playing together, celebrating together without any hostility among them.
The thing which has attracted my attention is that: most people have a bad idea
about the Muslims. They think that the Muslims are aggressive people, deal with
each other and with their wives by force as their religion orders, not lovely and not
friendly. I remember for example; a friend from Norway, twenty years old, she had
a very bad idea about the Arabs in general and the Muslims in particular. She said
that the Muslims are aggressive but when she came near and dealt with them, her
idea has changed and her best friends now are the Muslims!
On the other hand; a lot of similarities are found between the Christians and the
Muslims. The Christians are very friendly, honest, honourable and all the good
characters were observed. Although I`m dealing everyday with the Christians
either in the institute with the professors and the colleagues or in the street with the
people and the friends, all of them offer their helps without differentiating me as a
Muslim. I asked myself: since the relation between the Muslims and the Christians
is very friendly, why do we hear about fights and wars between them? Is that really
the feeling of people to kill each other? Is that their hobby to see the seas of bloods
of children, women and elders thrown in the streets? Is that their hobby to let each
one leave his own house after its destruction and look for a refuge in the forests or
in the deserts? Why shouldn`t we live together in peace! without any hostility and
let love spreads among the human beings!
5
11. One of my colleagues told me about a short story which happened in one of the
Arab Gulf Countries. A company held a celebration for a certain occasion, A lot of
people shared in the celebration. Presents were offered to the children. One of the
children of about eight years old whose father is American and works in that
company was asked by the manager (the manager is by the way Arabian): "what
will you do with your present?" (it was a toy pistol). The child replied at once that
he will kill the Arabs by this pistol when he grows up! The child wants to see the
bloods of Arabs flood as their oil does! And who advised the child to do that when
he grows up? Another story happened few days ago, in one of the Universities,
there was a training course for the army officers, the speaker said that their main
target in the next years to destroy the Islamic religion. He added that to achieve
this three nuclear bombs should be thrown on both Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The
first should be thrown on Mekka where Kaaba lies, the second on Medina where
the mosque of the prophet Muhammad lies and the third on Cairo, the main capital
in the Arab world and where Al Azhar University lies.
What is the end of all people either a very rich man or a very poor man, a king or a
slave? The end of all is the dust, to be buried in a grave, to be decayed and
decomposed. The worms don`t differentiate between any level of the people. All
are the same, all must be eaten by such worms! So; if we looked at this end, the
end which puts all kinds of people under the same conditions, isn`t it possible to
live together in peace? And who is the owner of this universe? And who is the
owner of this earth on which we are fighting and each of us tries to get more parts
of the land to his property? Is He one, two or three creators? If there are more than
one creator; so why hadn`t they delineated their boundaries on the earth and the
heavens? And who owns the sole Sun and the sole Moon? And if there are really
more than one; why hadn`t they fought to get a large part of property and to show
which creator is the strongest? On the other hand; to which creator do we belong?
Do all the people belong to one creator or to different creators. If they belong to
more than one creator, who belongs to whome? And why are the people similar in
their morphology? Why isn`t there any variation in one group of people than the
other? for example: a feature in one group to show that they are distinguished from
the other group which belongs to the other creator!
If there is no more than one creator, why shouldn`t the people obey Him? And on
what things are they differing if the creator is one? And what are the exact rules
which this creator has ordered his creature to follow? And what are the rules he
has forbidden for them?
And in this age of modern civilization and progress. The age in which the man has
invented incredible things like for example the computer and internet. The man
who travelled into space and solved many of its secrets. The age in which the man
has discovered the oil from under earth and invented instruments by which he
could determine the exact position of the hidden oil. The age in which the man has
made everything easy and possible, nothing now is impossible.
In spite of that; why shouldn`t we try to solve the secret of the religions? The
secret which renders us live together in peace and also guides us to the right way
to the paradise. Why shouldn`t there be one religion for all the people since they
6
12. have agreed that there is no more than one creator? No more than one who has
created this universe with its contents of people, animals, plants, insects,
mountains, the sun, the moon, the planets and everything?
Is that really impossible for the man of the 21st century who invented all these
things? In this case; all the people can live together in peace. No hostility, no wars,
no bloods, no destructed houses, no poor people in the streets without food, water,
covering, in the dark nights of the cold and terrible winter!
Why isn`t there one who tries to solve the secret of the three religions? One who
reads the Holy Books which are supposed to have been descended from this one
Creator. And I wonder how they had been descended from one creator although
there are many controversies!
All the religions order the people to do good works, of course because the Owner
is one. So why is that difference especially in the matter concerning Jesus. He is
considered by the Christians as a god or the human part of the god (father, son and
holy spirit). The Muslims believe him as a normal prophet exactly like their
prophet Mohammed and all the previous prophets. Let`s ask ourselves: if Jesus is a
god, so who sent the Quran? Is he another creator who says that Jesus is a prophet
not a god? And if Jesus is a son of the same Muslim`s God; so why does this God
say in the Quran that Jesus isn`t his son but is a normal prophet? Has He changed
His mind about Jesus!? On the other hand; what is the need for the God to send
part of Him to speak to the people and why hadn`t He sent one of the Angels to do
such a job? The answer to these arguments is that Quran is not a holy book! If
anyone reads the Quran he will read many verses that challenge people who denies
the Quran to write only one verse like that written in the Quran. No one till now
and after more than 1400 years since the descent of the Quran could do so and
even no other books in the world contain such challenges that they are the best
books and no one can write something similar.
A lot of questions need to be answered by one who is not prejudiced against any
religion. One who reads both Books (the Bible and the Quran) and tries to explain
the difference and guides the people to the best way to follow instead of this
controversy and no one knows where the truth is. The truth which leads us either
to the paradise or to the fire.
Everything is clear in both Holy Books, there is no need to think deeply as one
thinks in the problems of physics or mathematics.
So let`s put an end to our controversy and solve this problem and let people live in
peace and think in keeping our planet clean and free of pollution especially nuclear
pollution.
Hold fast; All of you together by the rope which Allah (stretches out
for you) and be not divided among yourselves. And remember Allah’s
favour on you how you were enemies and He joined your hears with
love so that you became brothers by his grace; And how you were on
the brink of the pit of fire and He saved you from it. Thus Allah makes
his signs clear to you that you may be guided. (QURAN 3:103).
7
13. Say to My servants to say those things that are best: for satan is to man
an avowed enemy. It is Your Lord that knows you best: if He pleases,
He grants you mercy, or if He pleases; punishment and We haven`t sent
you to be a disposer of their affairs for them. (Quran 17:53-54).

14. A GERMAN MUSLIM
If it had been the Lord`s will, they would all have believed, all who are
on the earth.
No soul can believe except by the will of Allah and He will place
abomination on those who will not understand. (Quran10:99-100).
These verses written in the Quran mean that the Creator of this universe is able to
let all the people on the surface of the earth believe Him. As for me when I look at
the world around me in Europe, America, Asia, Africa and Australia with their
different traditions and cultures, I say to myself how this can happen and how all
the people can come together on one word! And in fact it was difficult for me to
believe such verses till I came here to Germany and found out that this is really
possible and Allah is able to do that.
One day, I was invited to read the Holy Quran with a group of Muslims from
Indonesia, we were about ten persons. After about fifteen minutes; a person
knocked at the door, entered and then sat down.
He read the Quran with us and began to correct our pronunciation of Quran words.
He also explained the meaning of verses that are not clear to us. I looked at him
and thought that he is coming from an Arabian country like Tunisia, Algeria,
Syria, Libya, etc.
After we finished reading, I came near him and asked: "Where do you come
from?" he replied that he is German. I thought he is joking so I repeated my
question again, he replied that he is really German. I asked him if one of his
parents or both come from an Arabian origin, he said No and added that his father
died a few years ago and his mother is still Christian.
My face turned red of that surprise and several questions arose in my mind. I sat
down beside him on the sofa and said to him "Can I ask you some more questions
without embarrassment and in Arabic?" By the way; he speaks standard Arabic
much better than I.
First; how did you change your christian religion? He replied that during his study
in the secondary school and in the religion period, he needed to ask his teacher
some questions concerning the consideration of Jesus as a god or the son of the
god or one of three gods in one god, and how a god is divided, and what Jesus had
made throughout his life to consider him a god. Had he created this universe, these
heavens and this earth, the sun and the moon and all these creatures?
There was no answer from the religion teacher who advised the students to keep
all the statements of the New Testament in their mind without any argument. But
in our generation, the generation who travelled to the moon, who invented the
computer and who made thousands of incredible inventions, all of which are based
on scientific theories, he said to himself that he has to look for the truth by himself.
He went to a lot of libraries looking for a book which speaks about Islam but he
didn`t find any book except some books about tours. In one of them, he found how
9
15. the Muslims pray. He said to himself what happens if I tried to pray and to see
what those Muslims do.
He entered his room after washing his body and tried to pray. Suddenly while he
was putting his forehead and hands on the ground and then tried to go up again; he
couldn`t as his forehead and hands stuck to the ground! He was terrified of this
strange situation, then a strange voice said to him "Be Muslim" but in a German
language. He refused and replied No, No, and during that he tried to remove his
forehead and hands out of the ground but without success. The voice continued
again "Be Muslim" but he replied No, No. After a while; he was in a very terrible
situation and all his clothes got wet with sweat in that cold winter of Germany, he
responded at the end saying "I`m Muslim" At that moment; he could take out his
forehead and hands out of the ground!.
I asked him what he did after that, he said that he went to a group of Muslims in
the Mosque and told them his story. They told him that Allah selected guidance for
him and he has to know more about Islam. He began to hear from them the exact
rules of Islam. Then he decided to study the Islamic religion in a German
university. He got the degree of Master in the science of Quran. Now he is
preparing for the degree of Doctor in the Islamic studies.
I asked him about the feeling of his mother, he replied that she refused at first what
he pretends and threatened him of getting out of the house and not living with her
and also not giving him his pocket money although he told her that the people are
all human beings of the same anatomical characters. This means that they were
created by one Creator who is the Owner of this universe, who can`t be seen and
who must have one opinion. And all what he did is that he followed what this
Owner ordered. At the end and like the hearts of all mothers towards their sons;
she allowed him to do what he wants. Now she prepares a special food for him
which is free of any pork or alcohols. When someone telephones him while he is
praying, she answers saying to the speaker that he has to telephone another time
because her son is praying!
At the end of our talk; I said to him that I`m sorry about all these questions but I
have the last question: "What is your impression now about Islam after knowing its
exact rules?" He answered that Islam is a comprehensive religion which orders the
people to believe both Judaism and Christianity, to believe both the Taorah (Old
Testament) and the Gospel as coming from the Creator of this universe; to believe
all the prophets whome He sent without any difference among them and then Islam
came to fulfil both religions (Judaism and Christianity) and to correct what the
people have believed that the God had sent his son to the earth and allowed the
disbelievers to kill and crucify him. He continued that when he was Christian; he
believed only Christianity, but now he believes the three heavenly religions
together.
O you who believe!: Believe in Allah and His Messengers and the
Scripture which He sent to His Messengers and the Scripture which He
sent to those before, and who denies Allah, His Angels, His Books, His
10
16. Messengers and the Day of Judgement, has gone far, far astray. (Quran
4:136).
From this story; I recognized that Allah, the Owner and Creator of this universe is
able to guide all His creatures. On the other hand; He is able to destroy all of them
as He had done with the ancient people of Aad, Thamoud, Noah and the Pharaohs.
I think we all know the last people, the Pharaohs; with their greatness, their
scientific intelligence in building the pyramids with advanced engineering theories
that the great scientists now are not able to build such these pyramids. And also
how those Pharaohs were very clever at many scientific fields such as mummifying
dead bodies, but imagine how their bad end was.
Our present life is so short compared with the future Life, this life runs very
quickly like the hands of the watch, so we have to think carefully in death and
what after death!
Every soul will taste the death. And you will be paid your wages on the
Day of Resurrection. Who is removed from the fire and is made to
enter the paradise, he indeed is triumphant. The life of this world is but
comfort of illusion. (Quran 3:185).
So Allah leaves His people to think freely, although He is able to let them all
believe Him but they will return to him after death and they will be accounted for
what they had done during their life.
It is he whome Allah guides, that is on true guidance, but he whome He
leaves astray; for such will you find no protector for them beside Him.
On the Day of Judgment we shall gather them together, prone on their
faces, blind, dumb and deaf: their abode will be Hell: Every time it
shows abatement, we shall increase for them the fierceness of the fire.
That is their recompense, because they rejected our signs and said:
"when we are reduced to bones and broken dust, should we really be
raised up (to be) a new creation?" (Quran 17:97-98).

17. THE CHRIST JESUS
When I came here to Europe, I found out that most people like Jesus in a way
which can`t be described. Although they consider the god as three parts (father,
son and holy spirit) they always ask for the help from Jesus not from his father
who sent him. I thought at first that Jesus is only the son of the Lord so I said to
myself why don`t they ask the Lord directly (father), but later I discovered that
Jesus is considered as the human part of the god and father is the part who is in the
heaven.
Who made these controversies that made the people very confused now? One of
my friends from Venezuela said to me that his parents ceased to go to the church
because they can`t imagin these forms of god (part that can be seen "Jesus" and
part invisible who is in the heaven "father"). The second part (father) is common
with the Muslims in their religion, he is called Allah,whereas the first part (Jesus)
is considered in the Muslims’ religion as a prophet like the many prophets who
came before and this is the cause of all these wars and fights between the Muslims
and the Christians. My friend said that his parents are waiting till the Christians
and the Muslims find the truth and select one religion to follow and solve this
problem between them! I said to this friend: we really have to solve this problem
which people, more than one thousand year ago, had left to us. We want to live as
brothers without these fights. But all I can say to you now is to try to analyse the
three religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and try to discuss the differences
without any prejudice, because these Holy Books should have been descended
from the Creator of the universe in which we are living. So why had this Creator
sent three contradicting Books (Old Testament, New Testament and Quran) or
have we made these contradictions by ourselves?
In the field of scientific research, scientists think about phenomena and
observations first and discuss its explanations either in agreement or disagreement
with what has been written before on the same point. In the problem of religion, no
one wants to think about the matter and all the people follow what had been
written more than 2000 years ago. The result is that the Muslims say that the Jews
and the Christians are in astray and the same opinion is said by the Jews and the
Christians. They always hold fights and wars and it seems that no one will know
the truth till this world comes to its end.
Why doesn`t everyone try to think about these differences by himself and I`m sure
that everyone is capable of doing that, it isn`t more complicated than Geology,
Physics, or any other complicated science, this is at least to know the exact rout
which leads either to the paradise or to the fire.
O you who believe! Guard your own souls: if you follow the right guidance. No
hurt can come to you from those who strayed. The return of you all is to Allah: it is
He that will inform you of all that you do. (Quran 5:105).
12
18. For myself; I tried to find the position of Jesus in the Quran. What I found is that
he is well respected and all the Muslims don`t differentiate between him and their
prophet Mohammed or all the previous prophets and to you some of what is
written about Jesus and his mother in the Quran:
Allah preferred Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the
family of Imran (Jesus`family) above all his creatures. (Quran 3:33).
And the Angels said: "O Mary!: Allah has chosen you and made you
pure and has preferred you above all women of the world." (Quran
3:42).
All Jesus`miracles are mentioned completely in the Quran as follow:
When Allah said: "O Jesus, son of Mary!: Remember my favour to you
and to your mother, how I strengthened you with the holy spirit, so that
you speak to people in the cradle as well as in maturity; and how I
taught you the Scripture and wisdom and the Taorah and the Gospel
and how you did the shape of clay as it were the likness of a bird by my
permission and you did heal him who was born a blind and the leper by
my permission and how I restrained the people of Israel from harming
you when you came to them with clear proofs and those of them who
disbelieved exclaimed: This is not else than mere magic." (Quran
5:110).
So some people hadn`t believed Jesus at all either as a prophet or as the son of the
god (people of Israel) and considered him a sorcerer. Others hadn`t believed that a
prophet can do all these miracles, he must be a god or a human part of a god.
Those people had forgotten a very important thing that: Jesus hadn`t created a
human being, on the contrary; he had been going to be killed by normal people! I
say "going to be killed" because he is considered as being crucified in Christianity,
and the question is: how is he considered as a god and at the same time killed by
human beings? How can a god be killed? It was worth to say as it is written in the
Quran that he had neither been killed nor crucified, but so it was made to appear to
them. His God Allah (Jesus`father) had raised him up to the heaven to protect him
from the harm of such people of Israel. His features had been put in another man
who had been crucified and so the people thought that they crucified Jesus.
Allah said: "O Jesus!: I`m gathering you and causing you to ascend to
Me and cleaning you of those who disbelieved and setting those who
followed you above those who disbelieved until the Day of
Resurrection. Then to Me you will all return and I`ll judge between you
as to that where you used to differ." (Quran 3:55).
The logic theory is that: the god is (a one) who can`t be seen or described and who
can`t be imagined by the normal thinking of the human mind. So how can He leave
himself (or his human part) to the people to kill and crucify him? By kill we
13
19. understand that the blood had flooded out of his body and this is not a character of
a god but of a human being. They answer saying: yes, we agree that Jesus was the
human part which consists of flesh and blood. If I agree that Jesus was the human
part of the god, now Jesus and his spirit (holy spirit) died and crucified as it is said
and remains only the third part, the father, who can`t be seen, only one part alive
who never die, who created this universe, so why don`t you worship this one
remaining part instead of worshipping Jesus. In this case you reach the same
opinion of the Muslims and therefore one opinion and one belief!
Some people think that Jesus was crucified as a kind of sacrifice. What is the
reason for such sacrifice? to forgive the sins of Christians? Is it logic to believe
that all Christians are forgiven? That means that a Christian can do bad things like
killing and he will enter the paradise because his sins are forgiven!
Do you remember the story of Abraham when he had seen a dream that he was
going to slay his son Ismael? he wanted to obey his God by slaying his son. While
he started to slay his son; two Angels carrying two sheep descended from the
heaven to be slayed instead of his son. So Allah (Jesus`father) hadn`t accepted the
sacrifice for the son of Abraham, how can he accept it for his son Jesus!?
Jesus, as it is mentioned in both Bible and Quran, was eating normal food like
other people, is that a character of a god to eat and extract faeces? Do you know
that the people who pretended that Jesus is the son of the god or one of three gods
in one god and at the same time those who pretended that they killed and crucified
the god Jesus are themselves who didn`t accept Mohammed as a prophet eating the
food and walking in the markets!
And they said: "what ailes this Messenger (of Allah) that he eats food
and walks in the markets, why wasn`t an Angel sent down to him, to be
a warner with him." (Quran 25:7).
So how don`t you accept that a human prophet eats and walks among the people,
on the other hand; you accept a god eats and be killed and crucified!
The Massieh, son of Mary was no other than a Messenger, Messengers
(like him) had passed away before him. And his mother was a sainty
woman. And they both used to eat (earthy) food. See how we make the
revelations clear for them and see how they turn away. (Quran 5:75).
Those people of Israel had accused Mary of committing adultery when they saw
her carry a child on her hands and they all know that she hasn`t married yet, and
they told her that her father was always a good man and also was her mother and
they hadn`t thought that she can do such a bad thing (going in bed without
marriage), but the wish and ability of Allah (Jesus`father) let Jesus speak in his
cradle to tell those people that his mother is a good woman and this is the will of
Allah to be born by this way.
14
20. And because of their disbelief and of their speaking against Mary a
tremendous calumny, and of their saying: we killed the Massieh Jesus,
son of Mary, Allah`s messenger, they killed him not nor crucified but it
appeared so to them. Those who disagree concerning it are in doubt
thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture;
they killed him not for certain but Allah took him up to Himself. Allah
was ever mighty, wise. (Quran 4:156-158).
If Jesus is the son of the god or part of three gods in one god, so he had really been
present in the heaven before descending to the earth, his descent is to let the people
see him (as a god) and therefore believe. In such case; Mary is a normal girl who
was selected to carry the spirit of Jesus and to bear him as a child like the other
children and then passes the normal stages of growth from child-hood to mature.
The question is: why hadn`t he descended directly in a mature form? in this case
the people would have been terrified of this creature who appeared suddenly on the
surface of the earth without a father or a mother and they would then believe at
once. His descent by the normal way let a lot of people (the Muslims for example)
not believe that he is a god and so the main aim of descent was not achieved and
the problem of disbelief before Jesus and after Jesus is still existing and will not be
solved till the end of the present life.
The Originator of the heavens and the earth! How can He have a son
when there is for Him no consort, when He created everything and is
aware of all things. (Quran 6:101).
A father means the presence of a mother and a mother means the presence of a
father, there is no father without a mother and no mother without a father. Mary
can be accepted as a mother (woman) because she had a son (Jesus) and can also
be accepted as a virgin because she hadn`t been touched by a human being. Allah
on the other hand can`t be accepted as a father because He hadn`t touched a
woman and to accept Him as a father of Jesus, there is no evidence for that except
that it was His will to bring Jesus to the earth by this mode of creation!
O people of Scripture: Don`t exaggerate in your religion and don`t say
about Allah except the truth. The Massieh Jesus, son of Mary was only
a Messenger of Allah and His word which He conveyed to 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. For it is
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 a Defender.
The Massieh will never scorn to be a slave to Allah, nor will the
favoured Angels. And who scorn His service and is proud, all such will
He assemble to Him.
Then as for those who believed and did good works, to them He will
pay their wages in full, adding to them of His bounty; and as for those
15
21. who were scornful and proud, them will He punish with a painful
doom. And they will not find for them against Allah any protecting
friend or helper. (Quran 4:171-173).
Someone says: the Quran speaks about the miracles and good works of Jesus
because it had been descended from the God whome Jesus is his son or part of
him. We say: you confess now that the Quran had been descended from Allah, so
why had it been descended since everything was solved by Jesus, by his humble to
let the people crucify him? and since it had been descended from the same God; so
there must be no contradiction with the other Holy Books and in this case all of us
have to believe it and to believe the prophet carrying it (Mohammed) as well as to
believe all the Books and prophets that had been sent before.
O you who believe!: Believe in Allah and His Messengers and the
Scripture which He sent to His Messenger and the Scripture which He
sent to those before (him). And who denies Allah, His Angels, His
Books, His Messengers and the Day of Judgement, has gone far, far
astray. (Quran 4:136).
And those who believe in Allah and His Messengers and make no
distinction between any of the Messengers, we shall soon give them
their (due) rewards: for Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful. (Quran
4:152).
What all the people now do is that they deny the Islamic religion and hence
Mohammed and the Quran but this is not logic because all the evidences and all
the orientalists who studied the Arabic Language in general and the Quran in
particular have confessed that the Quran hadn`t been and can`t be written by a
human being because they have failed to write a chapter or even a sentence (verse)
like those written in the Quran. On the other hand; Mohammed was illiterate and
received all words of the Quran from the Creator of this universe by the help of the
Angel Gabriel.
It is said that Mohammed had quoted the words of the Quran from both Old and
New Testament! If we read the whole Quran we will find a lot of things which are
not mentioned in any holy book and it is not the time to mention them here. On the
other hand; Quran, although there are some facts which are mentioned in the other
Holy Books is totally in another style of writing which is impossible for an
illiterate person (Mohammed) to write them. I invite those who pretend the
plagiarism to try to compile the three Books in a new book, no one can do that and
if he could, do you know what will he feel? he will feel as if he was a new god to
this universe but Mohammed never said that he is a god, he said "I`m only a
human messenger!"
And if you are in doubt concerning that which we revealed unto our
slave (Mohammed), then produce a surah (chapter) of the like thereof
and call your witnesses beside Allah if you are truthfull, if you do it not
16
22. and you can never do it, then guard yourselves against the fire prepared
for disbelievers whose fuel is of people and stones. (Quran 2:23-24).
Those also who say that the Quran is a compilation of both Old and New
Testament, if Mohammed had done this really, we must find some mistakes or
contradictions because no human being till now like the scientists for example who
wrote a complete book or a complete theory without any mistakes and each of
them modify his opinion after years or some other scientists come and change or
modify his theory. In the Quran no one has found any contradiction till now and if
this indicated; it indicates that Mohammed was an unusual man, because he was
illiterate on one hand and hadn`t left any mistake or contradiction in his book on
the other hand!
Will they not then ponder on the Quran? if it had been from other than
Allah they would have found therein much incongruity. (Quran 4:82).
In addition to that; the Quran hadn`t been descended one time but throughout the
period of Mohammed`s prophecy till his death. And those who believed him,
believed before the whole Quran had been descended. It was logic that he
completes his book first and then tells the people about it. They then read it and
decide either to believe or not. But this hadn`t happened at all.
If it is said now that Mohammed had made a compilation of both Old and New
Testament, it was said before "Why hadn`t the Quran been descended one time
instead of at different stages?" Do you know why? because if it had been
descended one time, I`ll believe you now that Mohammed had really compiled it!
And those who disbelieved said: "why is the Quran not revealed to him
all at once?" (it is revealed) thus that we may strengthen your heart
with it and we have arranged it in a right order. (Quran 25:32).
On the other hand; what leads Mohammed to compile the two religions in one
religion and to pretend that he is the new prophet of that religion? only two
reasons: position and money, for the position; I mean to inaugurate himself as the
king but Mohammed had lived his entire life as a normal person even in any
problem, he had to take the opinion of the others and had never taken any decision
from himself or acted as if he was the leader of Muslims. By money; I mean to
deceive the people saying that he can forgive their sins at the God by paying him
money, pretending that he is nearer to the God! this had never happened at all
because any Muslim who makes a sin doesn`t go to any righteous man and pays
money but it is a secret between him and His God and he asks for forgivness only
from Allah directly without any mediator. Also Mohammed hadn`t died as a rich
man, he had died as a poor man because he hadn`t left any money in his house but
had always been giving it to the poors and who asks.
The power of the Quran comes from the fact that it challenges people to try to
produce or write a book like it, it assures that they will never be able to do so. In
case of disability to do this, it gives them another chance to produce ten sentences
(verses) and it again assures that they will never be able to do so. Finally it
17
23. incapacitates them by asking to write only one sentence (verse) like those of the
Quran and it assures that they will fail to do so. Till now and after more than 1433
years; no one could write a book or a verse like those of the Quran and the
challenge is still open till the end of life. Any book written till now can’t have such
a sort of challenge, because theories and ideas are modified or changed and better
up to date books are written, but no one could do this with the Quran.
Say: verily, if the humans and the jinns assembled to produce the like
of this Quran, they can`t produce the like thereof even if they were
helpers to each other. (Quran 17:88).
If we accepted the plagiarism; but Mohammed had been ascended to the heaven to
have the order of how and how often to pray. This happened in only one night
although we need months to travel to the moon. In the next day; Mohammed told
the people about his journey to the heaven and that he was taken by the Angel
Gabriel to Jerusalem where he prayed with all the prophets including Jesus. What
was the reaction on the disbelievers? they hadn`t believed. Really they had right
because it is impossible to travel from Mekkah to Jerusalem and then ascend to the
heaven and back again while the people were sleeping. The question of the people
was: "what is the evidence for that pretence?" Mohammed replied that there was a
group of traders coming in the way between Jerusalem and Mekkah to sell their
goods and they will arrive at sun rise, that was really true and happened. But the
disbelievers thought that someone of this group had informed Mohammed about
their arrival, so they asked him another very embarrassing question: "Describe to
us Jerusalem in detail? " Mohammed described everything small and large to them
(by the help of Allah), inspite of that; they hadn`t believed !
So; first let us believe that the Quran had been descended from the heaven and
Mohammed isn`t a fiction but a truth: now, who is the god that had sent him? is he
the god Jesus? in this case why had he sent him after he himself had descended to
the earth and ordered the people of what they should do? and why had he sent him
(Mohammed) and he knows that the people are not going to believe him because
they believe only the god Jesus whome they had seen by their eyes, and who had
sent all the prophets from Abraham till Moses? (we neglect Jesus from the
prophets considering him as a god and also Mohammed considering him as a
fiction).
Had Jesus himself sent all those prophets but after getting bored of those people
who wouldn`t like to believe unless they see by their eyes who they are ordered to
believe, he had descended by himself to let them be sure of the presence of a god
and then as a kind of sacrifice and humble he allowed them to kill and crucify
him? What harm affects the God if all the people on the surface of the earth either
Jews, Christians, Muslims or any other people didn`t believe? nothing will harm
Him and He will throw them all in the hell.
Finally if we agreed that the Quran and Mohammed are a fact not a fiction and we
agreed that Jesus is a god, so he must have sent this religion to fulfill the previous
religions and in this case we should obey him and believe this religion as well as
the former heavenly religions!
18
24. O people of the Scripture! now has our Messenger come to you to
make things clear after an interval (of cessasion) of the Messengers,
lest you should say: there came not to us a messenger of cheer and
warner. Now has a Messenger of cheer and warner came to you. Allah
is able to do all things. (Quran 5:19).
If Jesus isn`t a god but a prophet, so who is his father? this question is very
important and to answer it we have to get back in the human history to the first
creature on the surface of the earth; Adam, and we ask the same question, who is
the father of Adam? Is he the older brother to Jesus and hence both are Allah`s
sons? but Adam had no mother as Jesus had, so who is Adam`s mother and
consequently the first wife to the God if we considered Mary as the second!? As
we see we get ourselves into more complicated problems and questions.
The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam. He (Allah)
created him of dust, then He said to him Be! and he was. (Quran 3:59).
Jesus is innocent of all these accusations and allegations because he hadn`t ordered
the people to consider him as a god or his son. But all this happened after His God
Allah had raised him up to the heaven, to protect him from the evil of the people of
Israel, who tried to kill him. And how a selected prophet created from His spirit is
left to be killed and crucified by people created from clay! As actually happened
with the prophet Mohammed when he had been followed by the disbelievers in his
way from Mekkah to Al- madinah, trying to kill him. But he hid in a cave (Ghar
Thawr), and a spider wepped its threads and a dove lay on its eggs. That showed
the presence of no one inside the cave. So the disbelievers were deceived and
Mohammed was saved by this way from their harms. His friend Abu-Bakr who
was his companion inside the cave said to him: "if one of those people looked
down at his feet, he would see us at once" but Mohammed answered: "Allah is
with us" Jesus will be asked in the Last Day in front of all the people who
worshipped him as a god or his son, he will reply to Allah as written in the Quran
saying:
And when Allah says: "O jesus, son of Mary, have you said to the
people: take me and my mother as two gods beside Allah?" he says:
"Be glorified! It wasn`t me 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
don`t know what is in Your mind; Lord: only You are the Knower of
things hidden: I only said to them what you commanded me: worship
Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a 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, they are Your slaves and if You forgive them (they
are Your slaves), only You are the mighty, the wise." (Quran 5:116118).
19
25. O people of Scripture! Exceed not in your religion other than the truth
and follow not the vain desires of people who went wrong in times
gone by, who misled many and strayed (themselves) from the even
way. (Quran 5:77).
They surely disbelieved who say: Allah is the Massieh, son of Mary.
The Massieh himself said: "O people of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord
and your Lord." Lord: who ascribes partner to Allah, for him Allah has
forbidden paradise. His abode is the fire. For evil doers, there will be
no helpers.
They surely disbelieved who say: Allah is the third of three; there is no
god but one God and if they don`t cease from what they are saying; a
painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieved. (Quran 5:7273).
Isn`t the Creator of this universe able to destroy all the people on the surface of the
earth as He did with many people who had disbelieved before like the Pharaohs for
example who are well known to us all by their great civilization in Egypt? Isn`t He
able to do what He wants as He created everything? as He created the heavens and
hung them without ropes, as He created the earth which is also hung in the
universe without any ropes and revolves around itself and around the sun in a
regular manner to cause the variation in the sequence of day and night and the
seasons, as He created us from a viscous solution (semens) and as He created
several uncountable things!
They indeed disbelieved who say: Allah is the Massieh, son of Mary.
Say: who then can do out against Allah, if He willed to destroy the
Massieh, son of Mary and his mother and everyone on the earth? Allah
is the Owner of the heavens and the earth and that inbetween. He creats
what He will and Allah is able to do all things. (Quran 5:17).
Eventually, this is not a criticism against Christianity or Jesus because I respect
them and believe the three religions together (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) as
coming from the Owner and Creator of this universe who is one and has no human
character. All whome He sent to the earth were prophets as it is impossible for the
majesty of the God to let the people see Him and live among them.
In the Bible there is the story of Moses when he asked his God Allah to see Him,
really some prophets asked Allah to see Him because they had doubt about the
God or they couldn`t imagin Him and also to be sure when they come to guide the
people to the right way. The first prophet Abraham asked the same question but in
another way, he asked his God to show him how He will raise the dead, Allah
replied: "Have you no faith?" Abraham answered "Yes, but just to reassure my
heart."
What happened with Moses when he asked Allah to see him was that Allah
ordered him to look upon the mountain (Mount Moses in Sinai); if it abide in its
place, then Moses can see Him, When his Lord manifested His glory on the
20
26. Mount, He made it as dust And Moses fell down in a swoon That means that you
can`t see Me Moses! So how had the God refused that the prophets whome He had
sent to the people can see Him and then descends Himself to the earth in the form
of a human being (Jesus)? it was worth to allow those prophets to see Him and in
this case they would be sure of Him and would be able to inform those people
about the exact presence of a God and thus fulfil the purpose.
No one has a human character and then orders the people to follow him and
consider him as a god. Jesus is innocent of these accusations and all this has
happened after his ascension to His God but not during his life.
It is not possible for any human being to whome Allah had given the
Scripture and wisdom and the prophecy that he afterwards say to
people: Be slaves to me instead to Allah; but (what he said was): "Be
faithful servants of the Lord by what you were teaching of the Scripture
and by what you were studying." (Quran 3:79).
Some people say if the God is really one and Jesus is only a prophet, so why
hadn`t He punished or now punishes the disbelievers? The answer is to let the
people do and believe as they like but they will return to Him afterwards. Probably
He does a miracle as He had done with the Pharaohs and several other people but
He only knows the future, no one else.
They say: "Allah has begotten a son!" Glory be to Him! He is selfsufficient! His are all things in the heavens and on earth! No warrant
have you for this! say you about Allah what you don`t know?
Say: "those who forge a lie against Allah will never prosper" A little
enjoyment in this world and then to Us will be their return. Then we`ll
make them taste the severest chastisement for their disbelief. (Quran
10:68-70).
And satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah who gave
you a promise of truth, I too promised, but I failed in my promise to
you. I had no authority over you except to call you, but you listened to
me; then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I can`t listen to
your cries, nor you listen to mine, I rejected your former act in
associating me with Allah. For wrong doers there must be a grievous
chastisement. (Quran 14:22).

27. THE NEW TESTAMENT
As I read the Quran several times and concentrated in the meaning of its verses, to
find any contradiction or any mistakes which can prove that Mohammed was not a
real prophet but a normal person who compiled the Quran from both Old and New
Testament. I really didn`t find any contradictions, this is not because I`m Muslim,
No, I put myself now on the neutrality and I just devoted myself to try to find a
solution to our present-day wars and fights that happen on our earth and seem not
coming to an end. I invite also everyone who wants to stop shedding bloods to
read the Quran and to see if it had been descended from the Owner of this universe
(Jesus`father) or written by the illiterate prophet Mohammed.
I read also a present copy of the New Testament, although there should be one
book descended from the heavens but in fact there are many versions such as
Gospel of Matthew, Gospel of John, Gospel of Luke .. etc. Anyway I read one of
these versions aiming as I did with the Quran to find any contradictions. I have
some observations and comments which I write here in the next paragraphs.
CHAPTER 3:16. And Jesus, when he was pabtized,
straightway out of the water, and Lord: the heavens were
opened unto him and he saw the spirit of God descending
like a dove and lightning upon him.
When this sentence is read; it is understood that the spirit of God had descended
upon Jesus after he was born and pabtized and then went out of the water. This
means that he was born first by a similar way as the human beings are born and
then the spirit descended upon him. So HOW WAS HE BORN? and HOW
COULD HE SEE THE SPIRIT? was he born by a normal copulation and then
the spirit descended upon him!?
Second; Jesus after being pabtized saw the spirit descending upon him like a dove
and lightning. If Jesus saw the spirit; HOW COULD IT BE SEEN BY THE
OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE WITH JESUS AT THAT MOMENT? If
Jesus saw it, I may agree but had the people around him really seen it and therefore
recorded this sentence in the Bible? or Jesus had told them that he saw the spirit
descending like a dove and lightning? And what is the advantage of telling them
about that? to convince them by his miracle?
Third; Jesus as mentioned in the Quran was born a child by the order of Allah
where the holy spirit (Angel Gabriel) had descended directly upon Mary to inform
her that she was going to deliver a baby. She exclaimed and asked the holy spirit
(the angel) that how this could happen and she did neither get married nor commit
adultery, the angel replied that it was the decision of Allah and by this way Jesus
was born. Then Jesus spoke to people in his cradle to tell them that his mother
didn’t commit adultery but he was born by the order of the God (Allah).
22
28. The Originator of the heavens and the earth! How can He have a son,
where there is for Him no consort, when He created everything and is
aware of all things. (Quran 6:101).
CHAPTER 3:17. And Lord, a voice from heaven, saying:
"this is my beloved son, in whome I`m pleased."
In this sentence, it is understood that the people had heard the voice of Allah
(Jesus`father), informing them about his beloved son. If I believe that Jesus is a
son of Allah, I can`t believe that the voice of the Creator can be heard! if we
agreed that Jesus is the part of Allah who has a human character, I can`t believe
that the father (Allah) who has no human characters spoke to the people and they
heard Him.
Also what is the aim of saying to the people: "This is my beloved son" his speech
to people is enough to let them believe without sending any prophets, for
example: if now a voice was heard directly from the heaven saying: "I`m your God
who created you and the universe in which you are living" and we heard this voice;
I think this voice is completely enough for all of us now to believe.
On the other hand; Allah was asked by the prophet Moses to see Him to be sure as
I said before and so can guide the Jews with confidence, this had not happened at
all but Moses had only heard Him. No human either a righteous man or a normal
person can see or hear Allah (the part of three gods in one god who has no human
character!).
Also, what is the necessity of saying: "My beloved son"? all fathers love their sons
whether their sons are good or bad. The saying my beloved son may mean that
Jesus is more preferable to his father than other sons, so who are those sons? The
saying "in whome I`m pleased" He must be pleased with his son without any
necessity to say it to the people or He was afraid that the people may think that He
is not pleased with Jesus. Also Jesus was sent from his father to let the people
believe his father after all the prophets who came before and couldn`t convince
them! In my opinion; it was worth to say: "This is my son, whome I sent to you to
believe in my existence!" or not to mention this sentence at all; for the people they
may laugh at this god who descended to this level and allowed himself to speak to
them (Glorified Allah). If we say that the prophet Moses had heard Allah, we
accept that this had happened because he is a prophet but the most important is that
he hadn`t seen Him. Had any human being other than Moses, for example his
brother Aaron heard Allah with him? the answer is of course No.
This was a miracle of Moses`miracles like any prophet who must have had a
miracle in order to convince the people with it.
CHAPTER 4:8-9. Again the devil taketh him up unto an
exceeding high mountain and shewth him all the kingdomes
of the world and the glory of them and said unto him: All
these things will I give you; if you will fall down and
worship me.
23
29. From these sentences, It is understood that Jesus, the god or the son of the God or
one of three gods in one god, did not have any idea about this universe when he
came to it! so how can a god who is supposed to have created or participated in the
creation of this universe have no idea about this kingdome? and who was going to
show it to him, the devil! why hadn`t his father showed it to him? How had this
situation happened with the devil although if we considered Jesus as the son of the
God or one of three gods in one god; this god had created this devil and knows him
carefully whatever the form in which he appears and the devil knows surely that
this god can`t be deceived unless with a prophet or a normal person! Had the devil
intended to deceive the God who created him as he deceived Adam and Eva? The
devil can`t think at all in deceiving the God Himself because he knows the
punishment!
CHAPTER 5:17. Think not that I`m come to destroy the
law or the prophets: I`m not come to destroy but to fulfil.
This is very good that Jesus was coming to complete after the prophets who came
before, to fulfil but not to destroy. But it is written in another chapter that:
CHAPTER 5:31. It has been said: whosoever shall put
away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce. But I
say to you: that whosoever shall put away his wife, saving
for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery,
and whosoever shall marry her is divorced commiteth
adultery.
From this we notice that the sentence "it has been said" it is meant the jews and
their prophet Moses and the Old Testament in which the divorce was allowed. So,
who allowed this writing of divorce to the Jews? isn`t He Allah (Jesus`father) who
gave His orders to Moses? in this case Jesus had destroyed the law of his father but
not fulfilled as he said! This contradiction indicates that Jesus hadn`t prevented the
divorce at all because he can`t destroy the law of his father and he is innocent of
these accusations.
It is noticed also that Jesus says: "I say to you" so he gave the orders from himself.
But it was worth to say "My father changed his mind and prevents you now from
the writings of divorce" (Jesus is innocent of all these accusations).
CHAPTER 7:21. Not everyone that says unto me Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdome of heaven; but he that doeth the will of
my father which is in heaven.
From this it is understood that any person will not enter the paradise unless he does
what the father of Jesus said. In this case the good Muslims who believe in Allah,
the Creator of the universe (the father of Jesus!) and in the prophet Jesus as he
came to the earth to fulfil and not to destroy will enter the paradise because they
believe in Mohammed as a prophet exactly like the prophets who came before him.
I mean if they found out in the Last Day that Jesus is really Allah`s son or one of
three gods in one god, they will say to Allah (the father) that they believed Him
and in Jesus as a prophet but not as a son of His majesty because He is more
glorified than having a son. In this case Allah (Jesus`father) will let them enter the
24
30. paradise but in a lower class than the Christians. But if they found out that Jesus is
really a prophet and Allah has no sons; they will enter the highest class in the
paradise. So the good Muslims are in the safe-side in both cases because they do
the will of Allah (Jesus`father) in whose hand the final judgment will be.
The Christians will have a probability of 50% in entering the paradise. In the first
case (if Jesus is Allah`s son) they will be placed in the highest class in the
paradise, but if Jesus is not really Allah`s son or one of three gods in one god, they
will be thrown directly in the hell.
The Jews will have no probabilty in entering the paradise because they believe in
Allah but his last prophet is Moses without believing in both Jesus and
Mohammed. So who believes the God (Allah) must believe whome He had sent
because both Jesus and Mohammed are not fictions but a fact.
The second observation is the use of the relative pronoun "WHICH" with the god.
This word is used with things not with persons, it is worth to write "my father
WHO is in heaven!"
CHAPTER 9:28. And when Jesus departed thence, two
blind men followed him, crying and saying: Thou son of
David, have mercy on us.
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came
to him: and Jesus smilth unto them, believe you that I`m
able to do this? they said unto him, yea Lord.
The question is: those two men were coming to Jesus to cure them, so they
shouldn`t have said "Thou son of David" because this means that they didn`t
believe Jesus as a son of Allah. Because they were asking for the mercy of Jesus,
they should have at least told a lie at that moment in order that Jesus agree to cure
them by saying "Thou son of God".
Also how had Jesus accepted the saying "the son of David"? Why hadn`t he said to
them "I`m not the son of David, I`m the son of the God ?" On the other hand; why
had Jesus asked them if they believe in his ability to cure the disease or not and
this would be proved automatically when they become able to see normally? and
what was the answer that Jesus would expect? of course they will say yes because
they are coming to ask for his mercy and so must give a positive answer. Also,
they came to him crying and asking for his mercy after hearing about his ability to
cure the diseases and raising the dead, so there was no need for Jesus to ask this
question. (Jesus is innocent of these accusations).
CHAPTER 10:22. And you shall be hated of all men for
my name`s sake: but he that endures to the end shall be
saved.
Who will hate the Christians? the Muslims! for me as a Muslim, I have a lot of
Christian friends whome I don`t differentiate from the Muslim ones, this is because
my religion and the Quran order me to have a good relation with the Christians
25
31. because there are among the Christians priests and popes who know the truth of
Jesus as a prophet and they believe in Allah as one who has no sons!
In my country Egypt, there are good relations between the Muslims and the
Christians, sometimes the Christian friend is much better than the Muslim one and
there is no hate at all. And who hates the Christians in the name of Jesus although
the Muslims respect Jesus and his name exactly like their prophet Mohammed!
either they consider him as a god or we the Muslims consider him as a prophet.
The second observation is: All of us believe that the Bible had been descended
from Allah (Jesus`father), so the words should be written as coming from the
father not from Jesus. So this sentence must be written: "And you will be hated of
all men for the sake of my son`s name" (Jesus is innocent of these accusations and
he hadn`t said this at all.
CHAPTER 10:32. Whosoever therefore shall confess me
before men, him will I confess also before my father which
is in heaven.
It is understood from this that Jesus will stand in front of the Christians in the Last
Day and tell his father (Allah) about who believed him and who didn`t. This
neglects wholly the ability of the God (father) who created this universe and who
knows every atom in it to recognize by Himself those who followed his son from
those who didn`t!
The second observation also is the use of the word "WHICH" to substitute for the
father, instead it is worth to write "My father WHO is in Heaven"
CHAPTER 10:38. Ye have heard that it hath been said "An
eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. but I say unto you,
that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy
right cheek, turn to him the other also"
For the matter of taking the right in return in case of murder; this was allowed
from the God (Jesus`father) as mentioned in the Old Testament "An eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth" In the New Testament; this law is forbidden by Jesus as
they pretend. The question now is: HOW HAS JESUS CHANGED THE LAW
WHICH ALLAH (JESUS`FATHER) HAS PUT TO THE JEWS although he
said that he had come to fulfil not to destroy? Has his father ordered him to do so?
in this case the God has changed his mind by putting a law for the Jews and then
changing it and putting another one for the Christians and then returns again to his
first law and putting it for the Muslims. Which God changes his mind between
now and then? the term "God" means: He is that who created this world and knows
every large and small in it. He created all those people with their different
languages and traditions. It is supposed because He is a God that He knows from
the beginning the characters of people whome He is going to creat and He knows
well what suits them and what not. So How does He put laws for certain people
(the Jews) and forbids these laws for another people (the Christians) and then
returns to his old laws and allows them again for another kind of people (the
Muslims). If the God is by this way to change his mind from time to time, I think it
26
32. is better for me not to believe in any god at all and to consider all these creatures as
coming from the nature not from a god.
Woe to those who write the book with their own hands, and then say:
"This is from Allah" to traffic with it for a miserable price!
Woe to them for what their hands wrote and for the gain they make
thereby. (Quran 2:79).
To take the right in Islam in case of murder; there are two possibilities: The first
possibility is to kill an equivalent in number and age. This is because many
families from which one old person is killed, they try to kill without any limits as
many as they can. By this way; the opposite family will also try to kill as many as
they can and the fight will not come to an end. But Allah put these limits for two
reasons: the first is to stop such fights quickly, the second is that no one will try to
think in the murder because he is sure that someone of his family will be taken in
return. Some people understand this as an invitation from Islam or Judaism to the
murder, but as you see; it is not to kill; it is to take the right and this is a justice.
For the people who refuse the kill in return, Allah (Jesus`father) gave the second
possibilty which is to pay blood moey to the family from which one is killed in
return for forgiveness.
O you who believe: the law of equality is prescribed to you in case of
murder: The free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the
woman. And for him who is forgiven somewhat by his brother,
prosecution according to usage and payment to him in kindness, this is
an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. After that he who exceeds
the limits will have a painful doom. (Quran 2:178).
These are the possibilities which are available in the religions in case of murder,
and because Allah (Jesus`father) knows that the characters and thoughts of his
creatures are not the same, He put such possibilities but as a general rule He
forbade the kill of a soul.
On that account: We ordained for the people of Israel that if any one
killed a person- unless it be for murder in return or for spreading
mischief in the land; it would be as if he killed the whole people.
and if any one saved a person; it would be as if he saved the life of the
whole people. (Quran 5:32).
On the other hand; we hear now about the countries which don`t forgive when one
of its inhabitants is killed and ask for more than the return although they are not
Muslims!
The second thing is that Jesus ordered not to kill, so how can we explain the wars
aginst many Muslims such as those in Afghanistan, Iraq and Yugoslavia before?
and who is responsible for the continuation of these wars? Are they the Muslims?
27
33. it is surely not, but if America withdrew its armies and military bases from these
countries, I think quietness would return and there would be no more terrorism.
And those who invoke not with Allah any other God nor kill the life
which Allah has forbidden except for justice-cause, nor commit
adultery and who does this; shall pay the penalty.(Quran 25:68).
CHAPTER 13:17. For verily I say unto you, that many
prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things
which you see and have not seen them; and to hear those
things which you hear and haven`t heard them.
This part shows that Jesus says to his people that they are much better than the
prophets whome his father had selected. So he puts the prophets in a level much
lower than the normal Christians. How can Jesus say this and he said before that he
is coming to fulfil what the prophets before him had done and not to destroy? and
how can he prefer the normal Christians than the prophets? and what are those
things which the Christians have seen or heard although the prophets themselves
whome his father had sent were prevented from seeing or hearing them? (Jesus is
innocent of these accusations because Allah (Jesus`father) who owns everything
and who is able to do anything can`t prefer the normal Christians than the
prophets, otherwise what is the importance of such prophets!).
CHAPTER 13:51. Jesus said unto them: Have you
understood all these things? they say unto him, yea, Lord.
This shows that the people considered Jesus as the Lord not the god although the
word lord in other sentences of the Gospel means Allah (father) not Jesus. In such
case Jesus should have said to them: "don’t call me lord but call me god because
the Lord is my father not me" (Jesus is innocent of these accusations).
CHAPTER 15:25. Then came she (a woman whose
daughter was ill) and worshipped him, saying Lord, help
me.
The question now is: How had Jesus allowed this woman to worship him without
his father (Allah)? he should have said to her: Don`t worship me; worship my
father who is in the heaven and who sent me to prove to you that He is present but
I`m not coming to be worshipped. (Jesus is innocent of these accusations).
CHAPTER 19:7-8. They say unto him why did Moses
command to give a writing of divorcement and to put her
away?
He said unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your
hearts suffered you to put away your wives, but from the
beginning it was not so.
28
34. For the matter of divorce in Christianity, it is totally forbidden as it is pretended
that Jesus had ordered, but if we read the above sentences we understand that
Moses had given the order of divorce from himself when he found that the people
are hard, without having the order from Allah (Jesus`father). This is impossible for
a prophet to give an order from himself! And if Moses has taken this order from
Allah; so it is worth to write "My father because of the hardness of your hearts
ordered Moses to give the writings of divorce!"
On the other hand; if these orders are the orders of Allah (Jesus`father) to Moses,
in this case Jesus had destroyed the law which his father put and not fulfilled as
mentioned (I’m not coming to destroy but to fulfill). Did his father change his
mind after Moses and prohibited the divorce in order to suit the soft hearts of the
Christians and then returned again to his old decision and allowed it to the
Muslims whose hearts are very hard like those of the Jews!
And why is divorce forbidden as it is said? aren`t we human beings who can`t
expect what is going to happen in the future. Probably the relation now between
the couples is good but in the future some problems may arise and the life becomes
impossible to continue. So is it logic to live together and there is no kind of love
between the man and his wife? to which results will this lead? it will lead surely to
adultery; the man will look for a woman with whome his heart finds the good
feeling and lives with her in secret and so will do the wife and by this way the
family will be completely destroyed.
So Jesus hadn`t forbidden the divorce at all because this law which his father put
for both Jews and Muslims as well as for all people before is in favour of building
a society having a sort of freedom for couples to live together, a society free of
adultery and consequently of crimes which may arise from the husbands jealousy
towards their wives or the reverse, in case that one of them discovered that the
other partner committed adultery. On the other hand; Jesus can`t destroy the law
which his father put before unless Moses was not a real prophet but pretended also
that prophecy!
And who said that the priests are not allowed to marry? aren`t they human beings
who have the human feeling towards the woman? So what is the reason for
forbidding their marriage? are they better than all the prophets who had been sent
from Allah (Jesus`father) and to them marriage was allowed? So why had Jesus
forbidden it to the priests? (Jesus is innocent of these accusations).
CHAPTER 21:10-12. And when he was come into
Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying who is this? and
the multitude said, this is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth of
Galilee. and Jesus went into the temple of God and cast out
all them that sold and bought into the temple and overthrew
the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of them that
sold doves.
29
35. From this sentence; it is understood that the people believed Jesus during his life as
a prophet not as a god or the son of the god. On the other hand; Jesus hated selling
the doves because the spirit of god descended upon him like a dove and lightning.
This is a respection of the spirit, so why are the Christians allowed to sell, slay and
eat the doves now? why aren`t doves forbidden as a respection of what Jesus made
in the temple of god?
CHAPTER 21:23. And when he was come into the temple,
the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him
as he was teaching, and said: by what authority does thou
these things? and who gave thee this authority?
This situation should have happened after the people had seen the miracles of
Jesus and they knew that he is the son of the god. So it was logic that all these
miracles were given to him from his father. In this case there was no need to ask
this question as the answer was already known. On the other hand; Jesus as it is
written hadn`t replied directly that these miracles are of course from Allah (his
father) but he gave them two riddles to solve them. If they could solve the two
riddles; he will tell them about who gave him this authority. Despite they replied
correctly; he hadn`t told them that these miracles came to him from his father. I
could understand from the Gospel text that these miracles are self-miracles of
Jesus. This is a kind of exaggeration as it may indicate that Jesus might have
thought in himself that he can deceive his father and take all this world to himself
and put no value to his father. In such case he neglects his father’s power who sent
him originally to this world to fulfil not to destroy. (Jesus is innocent of all these
accusations as he said as mentioned in the Quran that these miracles were given to
him from Allah (his God) as he gave several miracles to the prophets who came
before him.
CHAPTER 23:9. And call no one your father upon the
earth: for one is your father, which is in heaven.
There are three observations in this sentence: first; all the Christians in my country
Egypt call the priests "our father" in this case they don`t obey what Jesus ordered.
So all the Christians in Egypt will not be forgiven from Jesus in the Last Day.
The second observation is that: Jesus`father is a father of all the Christians. Is it
logic to consider the Creator of this universe with His glory as our father? I can
believe that He is a father of Jesus only but not a father of all the Christians. Can I
say to the president of my country: you are my father although my father is a
normal person? And if He is a father of all the Christians, is He also a father of the
prophets? what is He also to the Angels? And how the cgristian children call their
dads if they are forbidden to call no one on the earth as father?
Isn`t that a kind of exaggeration and sweet words to attract the Christians towards
this belief? in the Quran there is no promise that the Muslims will enter the
paradise, but he who believes and makes all good works will enter the paradise.
30
36. The third observation is the use of the word "WHICH" for the third time with the
glorified Allah (Jesus`father), it is worth to write: "for one is your father WHO is
in heaven"
CHAPTER 23:22. And he that shall swear by the heaven,
sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth
thereon.
I understood from the beginning of this Gospel that the Lord is the father (Allah)
and the god is Jesus. So in this sentence it was worth to say: "the throne of Lord"
because the sentence shows that Jesus is sitting on this throne and not his father.
So where had his father gone? and where is he sitting?
CHAPTER 24:11. And many false prophets shall arise and
shall deceive many.
From this sentence I understand that Jesus (as it is pretended) expected many false
prophets. But till now in the third millenium, only one (false) prophet appeared
(Mohammed). So where are the others? the answer is: they will appear in the
future probably not in our generation. What do we expect the coming false
prophets to say? will they say that they are sent from the Creator of this universe?
in this case the Muslims will not believe them because their Quran says that
Mohammed is the last prophet and their religion is Islam and they believe in all the
prophets who came before and all the Holy Books descended from the Creator of
this universe. The Christians on the other hand will not also believe them as their
god Jesus warned them from these false prophets and any religion descends after
him. The Jews will not also believe them as there is nothing for them descended
after Moses.
A second probability is that these false prophets may say that our God is not the
creator of this universe, There is a another god who created this universe and who
sent them to us. In this case none of the three religions will believe them because
what they say is not logic at all. In conclusion, no false prophets are expected to
come in the future and by this way Jesus (as it is pretended) hadn`t calculated or
expected exactly the number of false prophets who will appear after him although
he is the god or his son or one of three gods in one god who must surely know the
future because only the false prophet Mohammed appeared after him. (Jesus is
innocent of these accusations).
CHAPTER 27:40-54. About the matter of crucifying Jesus; I read:
And saying thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three
days, thyself. If thou be the son of God, come down from the cross.
He saved others; himself he can`t save. If he be the king of Israel,
let him now come down from the cross and we will believe him.
31
37. and about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli,
Eli, lama, sa-bach tha-ri? that is to say, My God, my God why hast
thou forsaken me?
Jesus when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the
Ghost.
And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
the bottom; the earth did quake and the rocks rent.
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saint which
slept arose.
And came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the
holy city and appeared unto many.
Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching
Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things that were done, they
feared greatly, saying, Truely this was the son of God.
If we read this story, we find many observations: the first of these is that Jesus who
was able to raise the dead and who cured the sick people and the blind by his selfability wasn’t able to save himself unless he cried and asked for the help of Allah
(Jesus`father). This is a strong evidence that all miracles of Jesus were not of his
self-ability as written in the Gospel but all of which were miracles given to him
from Allah as mentioned in the Quran. (Jesus is innocent of these accusations as he
was not crucified but ascended directly to his God Allah and it appeared so to the
people of Israel, as if they had crucified Jesus but in fact one of them was that who
was crucified.
The second observation is that: Jesus cried with a loud voice ABOUT THE
NINTH HOUR. The question is: HOW DID PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT WAS
THE NINTH HOUR, although there were no watches at that time, where watches
were invented more than one thousand year later? The timing by these watches is
only for us; the human beings, but for the Creator of this universe; He has another
timing. So how does Allah (Jesus`father) send a sentence to the human beings in
their Holy Book to inform them about a way of calculating tim they don`t know?
unless He guides them to invent the watches in the future to tell them about the
time!
It was worth to say: at sun set, at sun rise, at noon ... etc. Also there is nothing with
Allah called ABOUT because He knows the exact time!
The third observation in this story is that: Jesus cried for help, so the ghost was
yielded. What is the importance of this ghost? the people wanted him actually to
come down from the cross at once not to see his ghost. And instead of appearing as
a ghost which may let many people have doubt, why hadn`t he come down directly
as Jesus with his body not as a ghost?
The fourth observation is that: Jesus couldn`t save himself and come down from
the cross, but he died, be put in a grave and then came out of the grave. So, he
hadn`t made what the people wanted in order to believe that he is the son of the
god. After coming out from the grave; had he appeared as a ghost or as Jesus
32
38. himself? as a ghost; there is no reason to appear as a ghost because the people
wanted to see him himself. As Jesus; he should have saved himself at once and
come down directly from the cross for the people to be sure as he is the son of the
god.
Do you remember the story of Abraham when the people put him in the fire. Had
he died and then after days appeared as a ghost or as Abraham himself as happened
with Jesus? No, but what happened was that Allah (Jesus`father) ordered the fire to
be cold and safe for Abraham. And after the fire was put down, Abraham got out at
once without any effect of the fire on his body. For this reason; the people believed
that there is Allah, the Creator of this universe. From this story of Abraham,
couldn`t some people believe that Abraham is the god or his son because he had
saved himself by his self-ability from the fire rather than Jesus who couldn`t come
down at once from the cross?
Also, why hadn`t Allah (Jesus`father) helped Jesus at once as he helped his
prophet Abraham and for this the people of Abraham believed? why had he left
him without help if the aim of the cross was to put the last miracle of Jesus`ability
as he is the son of the god? his inability to come down at once is a strong evidence
that he was not Jesus who was crucified but he was a man from those people of
Israel and Allah raised Jesus up unto Himself and it appeared so to those people as
if they killed Jesus but in fact not. On the other hand; why had Allah allowed those
people to do that crime with his beloved son? a sacrifice! what is the aim of this
sacrifice although he couldn`t come down at once from the cross in front of the
people`s eyes. And why had Allah accepted such doing with his beloved son
although He hadn`t accepted it to the son of Abraham when he was going to slay
his son as he saw in his dream, in return for that two sheeps had been sent from the
heaven to be slayed instead of Abraham`s son!
The fifth observation is that: the people "SAW THE EARTHQUAKE" We all
know that the earthquake can`t be seen but felt! the earthquake as I learned from
my study of Geology is defined as a group of waves propagating through the earth
from a central point which is the center of earthquake, so HOW CAN IT BE
SEEN? The writer of this story can`t have been a specialist in the field of geology,
he should have written: felt about the earthquake, lived the earthquake, were
witnesses on the earthquake or saw the buildings destroy as a result of the
earthquake which happened when Jesus came out of the grave!
That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the
Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it
was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts,
with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety
they killed him not:Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power,
Wise;- (Quran 4:157-158).
Woe to those who write the book with their own hands, and say: "This
is from Allah" to traffic with it for a miserable price!
Woe to them for what their hands wrote and for the gain they make
thereby. (Quran 2:79).

39. The sixth observation is that the people said at the end: "Truely this was the son of
God" This means that the people hadn`t considered Jesus throughout his life and
with the many miracles he did as he is the son of the God except after he was
ascended to the heaven. This is a proof that Jesus hadn`t ordered the people to
consider him as the son of the God while he was alive but all these accusations
happened after his ascension to the heaven. So Jesus is innocent of these
accusations of considering him the son of the God, the god himself or one of three
gods in one god. He is also innocent of accusing him as being killed or crucified
because he was neither killed nor crucified.
And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto
men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will
say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I
said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is
in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all
that is hidden.
"Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to
wit, 'worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them
whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the
Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things.
"If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servant: If Thou dost forgive them,
Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise." (Quran 5:116-118).
CHAPTER 28:2. The Angels of the Lord descended from
the heaven.
It is understood from this sentence that the Lord is Jesus`father where Jesus is the
god. But in another sentence I read "son of God" so Jesus`father is the God not the
Lord. In another sentence Jesus say "many of thee will say to me in that day, Lord,
Lord" so Jesus here is the Lord.
I really wants to know who is the Lord and who is the God, because the matter is
confusing to me and it is difficult to determine this as the terms Lord and God are
sometimes applied for Jesus and sometimes for Allah (Jesus`father).
The other thing is that: Jesus will be the judge in the Last Day and the people will
wave to him and say: oh our Lord Jesus, we are here, don`t forget us at your
father. I find that this is not logic since the decision in the Last Day to enter either
the paradise or the hell will depend on what everyone had done throughout his life
and everyone in the Last Day will receive his book with all good and bad doings.
If the good works exceeds the bad works; he will enter the paradise, and if the
reverse; he will be thrown in the fire.
Jesus is innocent of these accusations which happened after his ascension to his
God Allah and he will be asked from his God in the Last Day if he really ordered
the people to consider him as the son of the God. He will reply that he had said
only what his God ordered him to do which is to worship Allah, the God of all
34
40. people as well as Jesus and he was a witness on the Christians while he was living
among them but after he had been ascended to his God, all these accusations
happened. So Allah is responsible for that and Jesus has nothing to do with such
accusations. Jesus will say also to Allah: "if You punish them, they are Your slaves
and if You forgive them, they are Your slaves, You are the Mighty, the Wise."
CHAPTER 28:5. And the Angel answered and said unto
the woman, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus,
which was crucified.
This sentence shows that the Angels had descended also to the earth and spoke
with the people as the Creator of the universe (Allah) spoke and said to them "this
is my beloved son!"
If the Angels descended after the ascension of Jesus and for the sake of his name,
so why hadn`t Allah (Jesus`father) sent these Angels from the beginning of
creation instead of all the prophets who came before Jesus? Do you know why?
because if it was sure that these Angels can walk safely on our earth without any
harm that may happen to them from the people, Allah could have sent them. But
because He knows the wish of human beings to kill and shed bloods; He hadn`t
sent any Angels at all whome people can see and with whome they can also speak.
And what prevented the people from believing when the guidance came to them is
that they said: "Has Allah sent a human messenger." Say: if there were on the earth
Angels who can walk safely, we had sent down for them from the heaven an Angel
as a messenger. (Quran 17:94-95).
The second observation is the use of the word "WHICH" for the fourth time with
Jesus, instead it is worth to write "WHO was crucified".
CHAPTER 28:6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.
come, see the place where the lord lay.
This sentence shows that after ascension of Jesus to the heaven, there were still
Angels on the earth trying to convince the people of the glory of Jesus; the lord,
after all these miracles which he made throughout his life. So Jesus couldn`t fulfil
the purpose which his father wanted him to do on the earth by sending him as his
son after sending all the prophets befor. But as we see; the Angels remained after
his ascension and invited the people to see the place where the Lord (not the god)
lay, and so they may probably believe when they see this place! (Jesus is innocent
of all these accusations and there were no Angels at all who descended and walked
among the people).
CHAPTER 28:9. And as they went to tell his disciples,
behold, Jesus met them saying, All hail and they came and
held him by the feet and worshipped him.
35
41. I notice in this sentence that the people worshipped Jesus. In this case he deceived
his father because he came only to let the people believe in the presence of his
father in the heaven and to fulfil what the prophets made before but not to destroy.
So is it better to worship Jesus even if he is a son of the God or to worship only his
father who owns everything! to worship Allah as the Muslims do (Jesus hadn`t
ordered the people to worship him and he is innocent of these accusations).
CHAPTER 28:18. And Jesus came and spoke unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
This means that Jesus`father had given him all power and Jesus will control
everything in the Last Day. This contradicts with what happened on the cross as
Jesus was not able to free himself where he cried and called his father to help him
coming down the cross (Jesus is innocent of all these accusations).
CHAPTER 28:20. Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you; and Lord, I`m with you
always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
The last sentence in the Gospel shows that all miracles and abilities of Jesus were
taught to him from Allah (Jesus`father) and not from Jesus himself. Many miracles
were given to all the prophets befor, like Abraham for example who had not been
affected by the fire and like Moses whose God Allah (Jesus`father) had spoken to
him at the mount in Sinai (Egypt) and whose rod became a snake which swallowed
all the snakes of the Pharoh`s sorcerers and who struck the sea by his rod so it
divided and Moses and his men could cross to the other side whereas the Pharoh
and his men had been drowned in the sea. These are miracles given to all the
prophets which helped them to persuade the people to believe in Allah but not to
be worshipped and considered as gods.
The last thing I noticed in this Gospel is that it is devoid of sentences which terrify
and warn the people if they did anything bad, or they will be thrown in the hell and
be punished severly. But all it contains is that the god Jesus is always with the
Christians and he will look at them in the Last Day and take them away from the
other people who hadn`t believed him as the god or his son or one of three gods in
one god and will put them all in the paradise without any account. On the other
hand many Christians think that they can do what they want in this life because
their sins are forgiven.
These sentences contradict with the main cause for human creation: to worship the
God and to differentiate people in the last Day based on their good works into
those who eneter the paradise and those who enter the hell. They contain sweet
words to attract a large number of people towards the Christian religion and by
instinction man was created weak and likes everything easy and gets away from
the hard things. For this reason, Non-Muslim people find it difficult to join Islam
because it doesn`t promise all the Muslims to enter the paradise but only the good
ones. On the other hand; Islam prevents the people from drinking Alcohols which
are harmful to their health and take away their minds, but the people find Alcohols
36
42. good for their mood. Islam is very hard because it prevents the men and the
women from going in bed together without a legal marriage in order to guarantee
the rights of the woman, but the people find this very difficult and the best life is
the life of friendship which is full of joy and happiness.
Islam is very hard because Mohammed hadn`t given any promise to all Muslims to
look at them in the Last Day but Jesus (as it is pretended) will be happy with the
Christians and they will say to him Lord, Lord and he will take them to the
paradise without being called to account like the other people.
After these observations on the New Testament, I want everyone to understand
that I believe the Christian religion as well as the other religions which descended
from Allah. I only want to say that neither Jesus nor Mohammed will look at his
people in the Last Day and put him in the paradise without being called for
account, but everyone will be responsible for himself and everyone will be
evaluated on the basis of good works he had done throughout his life. And the
final judge to enter the paradise is Allah (Jesus`father!), not any prophet or Angel.
Say: O people of the Book: You have no ground to stand upon unless
you stand fast by the Taorah (Old Testament), the Gospel and all the
revelation that has come to you from your Lord. It is the revelation that
comes to you from the Lord, which increases in most of them their
obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. But sorrow you not over (those)
people without faith. (Quran 5:68).
On the day when some faces will be whitened and others will be
blackened; and for those whose faces have been blackened, it will be
said to them: Disbelieved you after your (profession) belief? then taste
the punishment for that you disbelieved. and those whose faces have
been whitened, they will be in the mercy of Allah for ever. (Quran
3:106-107).
I also believe in the Bible that had been descended from Allah which no one can
find any contradictions in its words because they are the words of Allah and if
anyone read the original Bible, he will find that Jesus predicted the coming of the
prophet Mohammad (written Ahmed which is the same name for the prophet):
And remember Jesus, son of Mary said: "O people of Israel! I`m the
Messenger of Allah to you, confirming the law which came before me
in the Taorah (Old Testament), and bringing glad tidings of a
Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be "AHMED" Yet
when he has come to them with clear proofs, they said: "This is evident
magic." (Quran 61:6).
Finally; the story of Jesus`birth as written in the Quran is as follow:
And make mention of Mary in the scripture, when she had withdrawn
from her people to a chamber looking east. and had chosen seclusion
37
43. from them. Then we sent unto her our spirit and it assumed for her the
likeness of a perfect man. She said: " Lord! I seek refuge in the
beneficient one from you, if you are Godfearing." he said: "I`m only a
messenger of the Lord, that I may bestow on you a faultless son." She
said: "How can I have a son when no human has touched me, neither
have I been unchaste." He said: "so (it will be). The Lord said: It is
easy for me and (it will be) that we may make of him a revelation for
people and a mercy from us and it is a thing ordained."
And she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place. And
the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm tree. She
said: "Oh, would that I had died before this, and had become a thing of
naught, forgotten!"
Then (one) cried unto her from below her, saying: "Grieve not! the
Lord has placed a rivulet beneath you. And shake the trunk of the palm
tree toward you; you will cause ripe dates to fall upon you. So eat and
drink and be consoled. And if you meet any human, say: I have vowed
a fast unto the Beneficient and may not speak this day to any human."
Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him, they said: "O
Mary! you have come with an amazing thing. Oh sister of Aaron! your
father was not a wicked man nor was your mother a harlot." Then she
pointed to him, they said: "how can we talk to one who is in the cradle,
a young boy?" He spoke: "Lord: I`m the slave of Allah, He has given
me the Scripture and has appointed me a prophet, and has made me
blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and
almsgiving so long as I remain alive. And (has made me) dutiful
toward her who bore me, and has not made me arrogant, unblest. Peace
on me the day I was born and the day I die and the day I shall be raised
alive!" Such was Jesus, son of Mary, (this is) a statement of the truth
concerning that which they doubt. It befitts not (the majesty of) Allah
that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him! when He
decrees a thing, He says unto it truly: Be! and it is. And Lord! Allah is
my Lord and your Lord. So serve Him, that is the right path. (Quran
19:16-37).

44. NO GOD BUT NATURE
(Secularists)
The universe in which we are living is a great mystery. A ball called the earth hung
without ropes or any other things and rotates in a regular manner around itself and
the sun. This ball is very small when we look at it from the surface of the moon.
One can`t imagine this small ball with its huge numbers of creatures on its surface.
People living together, people fighting against each other for money, position or
religion, people inventing incredible things. In each place on its surface; people
speak a certain language which is different from the language of the other people
living just at a small distance. Several languages and even different dialects within
the same country although in both cases the tongues of all people are anatomically
the same without any slight variation. The tongue of a certain language can speak
and perfect the other languages and by this way people of different languages can
talk with each other and so can exchange benefits with each other.
On the surface of such a small ball, there are also living animals belong to
thousands of genera and species. Some of these animals are domestic, others are
wild. They fight also against each other like the people as a kind of competition for
life although the latter is characterized by the mind by which he can think, this
mind is absent in the animals and so can be forgiven.
On that earth, grow also plants, flowers, trees and forests which are of much
benefit and are very important for both human beings and animals. And in its air
fly different kinds of birds without falling one day by the effect of earth`s
gravitational pull.
Don`t they look at the birds, held poised in the midst of (the air) and
the sky? None holds them but (the power of) Allah, verily in this are
signs for those who believe. (Quran 16:79).
The ball adjusts itself from the inclination in a certain direction by the presence of
huge mountains which act as roots helping for the balance of the earth. These
mountains appear at the first look as if they were composed of solid rocks only, but
when we investigate these rocks carefully; we find them carrying another kind of
ancient life millions of years ago, with the remenants of such life preserved in the
rocks as fossils. Such fossils represent several kinds of organisms either
invertebrates such as coral reefs or vertebrates like dinosaurs, monkeys, elephants,
etc.
Beside such ancient life; these rocks contain also minerals such as iron, silver,
gold, copper which are important for life. Inside this earth, there are the vital
sources of life: petroleum, natural gas and underground water which are the cause
of ancient and present wars among the people.
In the depressed parts of the earth, runs another world; the seas world with its
water and other creatures such as fish, sharks, corals, mollusca, echinodermata,
