God created humans for a specific purpose according to divine revelation. Without knowing this purpose, humans risk wasting their existence on meaningless pursuits and losing eternal reward. While philosophers have speculated on the purpose of creation, clear answers are only found in religious scripture.

This document is an introduction to a book titled "In Pursuit of Allah's Pleasure" which outlines a methodology for Islamic work. It references promises from Allah in the Quran about granting victory to believers who worship Him alone and establish His religion. The introduction notes how the Muslim Ummah was once glorious but is now humiliated, with the Khilafah fragmented into petty states controlled by non-Muslims. It presents the book as providing hope through a plan to work for Islam and fulfill Allah's promise of domination through establishing His religion and not associating partners with Him.

This document discusses the concepts of fate and destiny (al-Qadaa wa al-Qadar) in Islam. It begins by noting that this is a frequently debated topic, as some argue that if everything is predestined by Allah, then why are humans called to account for their actions. The document responds that while Allah decrees all things, humans are still responsible for their own deeds and souls. It explains that Allah gave humans freedom of choice, while other creatures chose oppression. It discusses how Allah offered "al-amanah" (trust/responsibility) to all creatures, but they refused except humans and jinn. The document aims to resolve the debate by affirming that while Allah determines all things,
This document discusses the concepts of fate and destiny (al-Qadaa wa al-Qadar) in Islam. It begins by addressing the common question of how human free will and choice can coexist with Allah's divine will and decree. It explains that while Allah has power over all things, humans are still responsible for their own actions and accountable before Allah. The document goes on to discuss how Allah gave humans the privilege of free choice by nature, unlike other creations, in order to be able to love and obey Allah freely.

The document discusses Islamic funeral rites and what is recommended for the dying person and those around them. It recommends that those present encourage the dying person to repeat the Shahadah until they pass away. It also encourages Muslims to be present for non-Muslims who are dying to introduce them to Islam, though any acceptance of Islam at that point must be sincere and with certainty before the throes of death begin. The Prophet tried to get his uncle Abu Talib to testify to Allah's oneness on his deathbed, and similarly encouraged his servant, showing the importance of guiding those near death.
The document summarizes the four foundations of shirk according to Shaikhul-Islam Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab. The four foundations are: 1) Seeking intercession from other than Allah, 2) Seeking nearness to Allah through other than Allah, 3) Worshiping other than Allah such as angels, prophets, the righteous, stones, trees, sun and moon, 4) Committing shirk continuously rather than just during times of ease as former generations did. The document provides Quranic evidence to support each of the four foundations.

It summarizes a hadith prohibiting fasting one or two days before Ramadan, except for those with a regular fasting habit. The document also discusses scholarly interpretations and debates around certain details related to fasting rules.
Islam is a voluntary relationship between an individual and their creator that emphasizes exclusive worship of God (Allah). It is not a new religion but a continuation of monotheistic faiths of previous prophets. Muslims believe in one God, angels, prophets, the Day of Judgment, and life after death. They believe God revealed information about himself through prophets, with the final revelation through Prophet Muhammad in the Quran. The essenceof Islam is the worship of Allah alone as the creator and sustainer of the universe.

The document discusses Islamic perspectives on sexuality, reproduction, and family systems based on a paper presented by Dr. Zeenath Kausar.
Islam views life as an integrated whole and sees sexuality and reproduction as part of the complete Islamic way of life. Islamic texts provide guidance on these matters. The purpose of human creation in Islam is to serve as Allah's vicegerent on Earth. Any human thought or activity, including those related to sexuality and reproduction, should ultimately fulfill this purpose.
In Islam, sexuality is not seen as merely an animalistic function but rather something to be properly guided. Sexual relations are only permitted within marriage, which is regarded as a sign from Allah and the way of the prophe

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

Da’wah: The Basics
3
4. Do not underestimate the
greatness of this work.
This is the work of
The Greatest Human Beings
that have ever lived on this earth!
What is Da’wah?
Da’wah means to invite or to summon. Usually understood to mean to preach.
Many different ways to invite to Islam; obviously the most important is by example.
The Prophet Muhammad ‘gave’ Da’wah through his personality, honesty and truthfulness
Do ‘I’ Need To Give Da'wah
An important matter for us to realize is that Da’wah is an
obligation upon all of us.
Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an (translated):
“Invite to the way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them
in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His path, and He
is the best aware of those who are guided.”
(Surah an-Nisa’ 16:125)
The Prophet (PBUH) has said
“Convey from me, even one verse.” (al-Bukhari).
Conveying the message therefore does not require a high level of scholarship, it is in fact a
responsibility of each and every one of us, according to our ability.
What If I Don’t Invite And Hide The Truth?
The obligation is further emphasised by the following verse which explains that not conveying
the message – hiding knowledge- is disobedience to Allah, which causes Allah’s curse to
descend on such people, which shows that such a sin leads to The Hellfire.
“ Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which we have sent
down, after We have made it clear for the people in the book, they are the ones cursed by Allah,
and cursed by the cursers.” (Quran 2:159)
In the same connection, The Prophet (PBUH) has stated,
“Whoever hides knowledge, Allah will brand him with the branding iron from The Hellfire.”
(Ahmad)

Da’wah Is an Obligation
‘Da’wah is the visa which
allows us to live in this
country!’
5. What will I get through Da’wah?
“And who is better in speech than he who invites to Allah and does righteous deeds, and says: I
am one of the Muslims.”
(The Quran 41:33)
“By Allah, If Allah Were To Guide One Man through You It Would Be Better For You than the
Best Type of Camels”
(Al Bukhari & Muslim)
Why Is Da’wah Training necessary?
Let’s looks at a simple question such as
‘What is Water?’
Surely you would give a different answer to a Biologist a Physicist and a Chemist;
Similarly for a question like:
‘What is Islam?’
The answer must also be appropriate to the listener.
Secondly:
You need to be able to answer some simple questions ‘in the correct way’ Insha’Allah:
For Example:
• Who made God?
• Why Islam not Christianity?
• How Can You Prove Islam is true?
• Can You Prove to me that God Exists.
• Why do natural disasters happen?
• If I become a Muslim will I have to wear a headscarf?
Methodology of the Prophets
Sheikh Salih Ibn Fawzan says that the three essentials in Da’wah are:
Some of the evidence for this is:
For certainty about knowledge:
5
6. “Say, this is my way; I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me....”
(Surah Yusuf 12: 108)
For Practicing what we preach:
“I do not wish to forbid you from something and then do it myself. Rather I only wish to rectify
you as far as I am able.”
( Surah Hud 11: 88)
For Pure intention
“Say, I ask of you for it [i.e. this message] no repayment it is not but a reminder for the worlds”
(Surah al-Anam 6:90)
What Is The Role of The Da’ee?
“Verily you [O Muhammad] guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom he wills. And he
knows best those who are guided” [The Qur’an 28:56]
“Your duty is to convey the message” [The Qur’an 42:48]
“And it is not for any soul to believe except by the permission of Allah”
[The Qur’an 10:100].
Remember this and mention it to the listener
6
Da’wah is Easy!
Make Da’wah easy for yourself
and easy for the listener !
K.I.S.S.
Keep
It
Simple
Stupid
7. What are we initially inviting to?
‘There is nothing worthy of worship except Almighty God’
This is obvious and everyone says this but this needs understanding.
All false Gods must be removed.
What is the main False God in this society; even though they deny it?
Jesus as God or Son of God.
Almighty God must be introduced; with all His attributes. Then and only then, The name of God.
Therefore concentrate on Jesus (PBUH)
• Jesus is not God
• Jesus is not The Son of God (But ‘a’ son of God in the Bible)
• Let us agree to follow Jesus
• Jesus submitted himself
• Jesus was a Muslim
- Do not criticise Jesus but show that Jesus is the way-
What are we secondly inviting to?
Muhammad [PBUH] is the Messenger of Almighty God
This must be the second thing we call to, once the first part has been established.
Essential Mnemonic when giving Da’wah
‘Just Go to the Qur’an’
Just = Jesus
Go to the = God
Qur’an = Qur’an
7
8. Jesus – not God and not the only son of God in the Bible
God – His attributes
Qur’an – as a miracle, like miracles given to other prophets
The Seven Essentials during Da’wah to avoid the common pitfalls
Focus on what?
Trying to:
• Give Good News
• Ideally...Invite to submit to Almighty God
• At least …Invite to believe in Almighty God
• Prove the existence of God
• Prove the truth of Islam
Not trying to:
• Give a speech on Islam
• Impress
• Teach rules and regulations
• Invite to the “Religion” of Islam
8
9. Psychology of Da’wah
Remember that The Prophets (PBUT) were sent in ‘the language of their people’
(Qur’an 14:4)
• Analyse the Listener: - Age, Education, Ethnicity, Class, etc...
• Establish your credentials. (You are a …..You are not a priest or a ‘religious
person’!)
• Use their name (frequently)
• An appropriate message (for the specific listener)
• Body language (Ours and Theirs)
• As soon as you detect disinterest change the topic.
• Communication is
7% words 30% tone 63% body language
• You are not giving “Telephone Da’wah i.e. don’t be oblivious to the person in front
of you!
• Tone: Do not speak ‘up to’ or ‘down to’. Deal in an appropriate manner
Vital Knowledge
The Dai Must be Able to Understand and Clearly Explain:
1. Attributes of Almighty God (esp. love & mercy).
2. Why the Qur'an is a miracle.
3. Jesus in The Bible not being God and not the only son of God
4. The Six Pillars of Imaan. (Describe Heaven)
5. The Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) life, in brief.
6. Some key references from the Qur’an and the Bible
The depth of knowledge is dependent on your time and ability.
How to Break The Silence and Start a Conversation
Firstly and most importantly, ask Allah for success.
In conversation see issues from a religious point of view.
Politely mention things that invite questions:
Try and use English translations of the words we regularly say in Arabic. E.g. ‘Thank
God’ instead of ‘Al Hamdulillah’ and ‘God willing’ instead of ‘Insha- Allah’.
Future doctors could for example say ‘God willing you will get better with this medicine.’
At prayer time make a point of mentioning where you are going.
9
10. Think of a way of giving colleagues a short introduction on Islam. E.g. ‘John, you know I
am a Muslim yeah. One of the things that are compulsory for me is to tell my colleagues
about Islam. Do you mind if I tell you a little bit about it?’
(Choose a moment when the person is in a good mood and has time available)
Introducing the word ‘God’ into conversations is in itself very important as they may think we
worship something other than God when we use the word Allah. It will also be a continuous
reminder about Allah both to us and our colleagues.
Stopping people in the street
There are two ways you could address people for the first time.
• “Excuse me. Do you know what the purpose of your life is?”
To a Christian:
• “Excuse me. Can I ask you a question about Jesus?
Do You Believe Jesus is God or that he was sent by God?”
Why should they accept a Creator (or God) into their life?
You need to give some good practical reasons. [Because most feel there is no need for ‘God’]
For example:
• It Would lead to a Better / Happier life in this world
• An improvement in their relationships and their children’s behaviour
• It would be like having someone very rich (e.g. Bill Gates) as your best friend
• Even the rich and famous are not happy without belief in God hence, the high levels of
drink, drugs and suicide
• In internet terms; being a Muslim is like having A Broadband Connection with God, and
simply believing in God is like having A Dial-Up-Connection with God.
• The Good News brought by The Prophets (heaven and salvation for those who believe)
Keep Checking …
Keep checking to see if any or all of the information has been accepted by the listener.
Sign Posting:
No point going forward until previous facts accepted.
If the listener is losing interest …
If you feel that the listener is going to leave then they should at least:
Accept one part of The Sha’hada
Or
Accept the concept of God with all His attributes – mention the idea of Shirk.
10
11. Closing the deal...
Da’ees find this difficult.
Timing is critical. Decide how far you can go by their reactions
You are like a Shepherd trying to catch a sheep.
The escape routes are their arguments, escape routes should be shown and closed
Basic Rule: During Da’wah
“Invite all to the way of your Lord with Wisdom and beautiful preaching, and argue with them in
ways which are best…” (Qur’an 16:125)
The Key to Da’wah:
Figure 1
Whatever they talk about, try and bring in the Qur’an, as the ultimate proof.
Proof of Islam
How to Prove That The Qur'an Is From Almighty God
Scientific facts:
Embryology in The Qur’an – (Quran 23:12-14)
11
Proof of Islam = The
Quran
The Quran = A Miracle
12. The Big Bang Theory – (Quran 21:30)
The Expansion of the universe – (Quran 51:47)
Given to an Unlettered Prophet (Qur’an 7:157)
The book was given to a man who could not read or write (How do we know that?
Because it says so in the Qur’an and his enemies never called him a liar).
Has remained unchanged
The book has remained unchanged for 1400 years- See for yourself in the British Library!
“It is We who have sent down the Dhikr (Qur’an) and surely We will preserve it”
(Quran15:9)
The Challenge
“And if you are in doubt about what we have sent down upon our servant then
produce a chapter like it ...” (Quran 2:23)
No contradictions
“Don’t they ponder over the Qur’an, had it been from anyone besides Allah, they would
surely have found therein many contradictions” (Quran 4:82)
The largest following
It has resulted in the largest following in the world; 1.6 billion people.
Produced The Fastest Growing Religion
It has produced the fastest growing religion in the world (Guinness book of records
2005).
Changes people lives
Its words have the effect of changing people’s lives forever.
Easy to memorize:
“…made easy to remember” (Qur’an 44:58)
No contradictions:
“Don’t they ponder over the Qur’an, had it been from anyone besides Allah, they would
surely have found therein many contradictions” (Qur’an 4:82)
No crookedness:
“An Arabic Qur’an without any crookedness” (Qur’an 39:28)
Qur’an says it is from Allah:
“The revelation of the book (Qur’an) is from the Lord of the Alamin” (Qur’an 21:2)
Complete guidance:
“This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favours upon you and
chosen Islam as your Deen” (Qur’an 5:3)
12
13. How to Prove That The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Was a True Prophet
• The Qur’an
• His life and honesty bears testament to his Prophethood.
• Allah gives him the attribute of being the guide to the worlds (Alamin, mankind, Jinn and
all creatures.)
• Previous messages were corrupted or time bound.
The Qur’an mentions Muhammad’s (PBUH) Prophet Hood (Qur’an 33:40):
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) mentioned that he was The Last Prophet and Last Messenger. He
was known to be truthful even before his claim to Prophethood.
How to Prove That The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Didn’t Copy The Bible
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would have copied the errors found in the Bible? E.g.
Scientific errors.
Muhammad (PBUH) was unlettered (Qur’an 7:157)
Ask them to show one single verse which is copied
Da’wah to Christians
Christian beliefs (except Jehovah witnesses):
1) Trinity
2) Original Sin
3) Atonement (forgiveness of sins)
1Trinity: They believe that God is made of three personalities; Father, The Son and The Holy
Ghost. Father is God, Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God, yet there is one God! Often they
will reject this but ask them if they say ‘God the father, God the son, and God the Holy Ghost.’
2 Original sin: Christianity teaches that because Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate of the
tree (of knowledge); all of their descendants bear the sin.
3 Atonement and Redemption: The crucifixion of a man-god i.e. Jesus on the cross paid the
price of sin. Just believing in this is enough to attain salvation. To refute this ask them if Jesus
wanted to die for their sins.
13
14. Formulation of the Bible CE= Christian era i.e. After Jesus
40-45 CE Letters of Paul
325 CE - Council of Nicea- Organised by Roman Emperor Constantine. Emperor was from a
Pagan background and favoured Trinitarian view of Christianity.
1000 CE – Western and Eastern Church broke off- ‘The Great Schism’
Western Church: Catholic churches
Eastern Church: Eastern Orthodox church
1600 CE – Protestants broke off- led by Martin Luther and John Calvin.
1611 CE – King James Version of the Bible was made- most widely used today.
1952 CE – Major revision of the King James Bible was made because of its great errors.
Overview of the Bible
• Many versions available.
• Bible divided into The Old Testament containing the books before Jesus and The
New Testament which is about Jesus and that which came after.
The Oldest New Testament available dates back to three hundred years after Jesus!
• Bible not available in the language of Jesus (Aramaic) - oldest New Testament is in
Greek.
• Old Testament – 39 Books
o First five books – Pentateuch (Torah, according to the Jews.)
• New Testament – 27 Books
o First four are called Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John)
• Protestant Bible-King James’s Version- 66 Books (39+27)
• Catholic Bible-Douay Version 73 Books (7 extra books – Apocrypha= doubtful)
• Words NOT found in the Bible : Bible,Trinity
Da’wah to a Christian:
Start with:
“Do you believe that Jesus is God or that Jesus was sent by God?”
Most Christians will say
‘He was sent by God’
Tell them:
“There’s only one religion that says Jesus was sent by Almighty God do they know
which religion it is? ”
They’ll say ‘Christianity’
Show them that Christianity says that Jesus is God rather than sent by God.
14
15. Because the Christians say- ‘God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.’ ”
They would agree that Christianity says this; but they don’t believe that Jesus is God.
Therefore their belief about Jesus is the same as Islam and they are closer to Islam them
Christianity
Talk about:
1. Almighty God
2. Jesus
3. Good news
4. Purpose of life
5. Spirituality
6. Islam = Relationship with God
7. Love of God
Don’t talk about:
1. Rules and regulations
2. Hell
3. Religion
4. Other things about Islam – Invite not Impress
Christian comments that you should be able to answer
Jesus is God, because....
Jesus is The Son of God.
Jesus said ‘I am the way, the truth and the life...’
Jesus died for my sins.
I am guaranteed salvation unlike Muslims who depend on good deeds.
I believe Jesus is God and man [Born-again Christians]
You don’t believe in the crucifixion.
15
16. The Key to Da'wah with Christians
Figure 2
Always follow the above flow chart when giving Da’wah to Christians.
Whatever you start with, concentrate on showing that Jesus is not God and lead onto the fact
that Jesus was a Muslim. With any other topic you could spend hours and achieve very little
Jesus lived as a Muslim (from the Bible)
Submitted to the will of God (Allah) – Luke 22:42, John 5:30
Fasted forty days and forty nights – Matt 4:2
He prayed on his forehead to One God – Matt 26:39
He greeted his disciples with the greeting of peace be unto you (as-salaamu alaikum)
John 20:21
Jesus had a beard as is the way of all the prophets.
How to Prove that Jesus (PBUH) Is Not God
Start with the Attributes of God, ‘All-Mighty’, ‘All Knowing’, Eternal, Independent. Then apply
these attributes to Jesus and see if he qualifies.
God is All-Knowing... Jesus (PBUH) was not.
16
17. Speaking of the last day Jesus said ‘But of That Day or That Hour knows no man, neither the
angels, nor the son, but only the father’ (Mark 13:32)
God is All-Mighty… Jesus (PBUH) was not.
‘I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge, and my judgement is just, because I
seek not my own will, but the will of Him who sent me’ (John 5:30)
God doesn’t pray to anyone … Jesus (PBUH) did
‘And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face (sujud) and prayed.’ (Matt 26:39)
Jesus never said ‘I am God, worship me.’
How to Prove That Jesus Was Not the only Son Of God in the Bible
Many other people are called sons of God in the Bible:
• The Prophet Adam (PBUH) – Luke 3:38
• The Prophet Solomon (PBUH) – II Samuel 7:13, 14
• Angels – Job 1:6, 2:1, 38:7
• The Prophet David (PBUH) – Psalms 2:7
[NB: Melchizedek: ‘No father, no mother, no ascendants, no descendents, no beginning of days,
or end of life....’ (Hebrews 7:3)]
From The Qur'an
The Qur’an talks about Jesus’ similarity to Adam (3:59)
19:88, 89 ‘And they say: “Allah has begotten a son... indeed you have brought forth a terrible
evil thing.”
19:35 “It befits not Allah that he begets a son.”
All Prophets Prayed As Muslims Do
Wudhu: Moses and Aaron: “And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their
feet thereat: when they went into the tent of the congregation and when they came near unto
the altar, they washed, as the lord commanded Moses.” (Exodus 40:31-32)
Many Prophets prostrated - Sujood
Jesus – Matthew 26:39
Elijah – I Kings 18:42
Moses and Aaron – Numbers 20:6
Abraham - Genesis 17:3
How to Prove The Bible Contradicts Scientific Facts and Logic
Bible:
Morning and evening created 2nd
day- Gen 1:6-8
17
18. Earth created 3rd
day – Gen 1:10
Sun created fourth day – Gen 1:14-19
Bible: God rested on the 7th
day (Gen 2:2, 3 and Exodus 31:17) (refreshed)
Logic: God never gets tired (Qur’an 2:225) neither sleep nor slumber overtakes him.
Bible: Mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds- Matt 13:31-32
Science: Seed of the Orchid flower is smaller than the Mustard seed.
How to Disprove Trinity
The word ‘Trinity’ is not mentioned in the Bible
Trinity says that Jesus is also ‘God’ – disproved earlier
Trinity was formulated in the year 325 C.E.
Jehova’s Witness
Beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses
• Don’t believe in The Trinity – (Therefore they don't believe that Jesus is God or
Part of God)
• Believe Jesus was created by God
• Believe Jesus is the begotten son of God
• Believe the Bible is the absolute word of God
• Happy to accept that Jesus is a prophet of God.
Giving Da’wah:
1) Concentrate on Showing that Muslims are following Jesus more closely than Jehovah’s
Witnesses.
For Example:
• Jesus prayed by putting his head on the ground (garden of Gethsemane)
• Jesus had a beard
• Jesus ate kosher= Halal food - never ate pork
• Mary covered her hair all the time - just as Muslims do JW only cover in their
churches (kingdom Halls)
2) God’s name is Allah.
a) Alleluia, which is used in the Bible by angels to praise God, is a corruption of Allah-hu-
yah
18
19. Alleluia = Allah-hu-yah (from Ahmed Deedat)
b) Jesus on the cross, said 'Aly Aly lema sabakhtani' which is 'My God My God, why have
you forsaken me' - he did not use the word Jehovah' for God, or 'Abi' which is father.
Aly is closer to illahi/Allah which means My God or Deity to be worshipped.
The other point you should concentrate on is that God does not beget.
Their main weak points are:
1) Muslims follow Jesus in the Bible more closely.
2) God’s name is Allah according to the Bible
3) Their Bible says that Jesus is a begotten son (The word 'begotten' means gave birth to
and not created, as they claim. Therefore they are attributing the act of giving birth to
God.)
4) They say that the Bible is the word of God
Question is... which bible, because the oldest bible is in the Greek Language. The language of
Jesus was Aramaic therefore we don't know what God actually said. There are many different
versions of the Bible - Catholics have the Du-ay version, Protestants have the King James
Version and the JW have The New World translation.
These are not different translations, but different Versions - they will say theirs is the most
accurate as it goes back to the original Greek scripture, but Jesus did not speak Greek, but
spoke Aramaic. (Compare with the Quran - preserved in its original language Arabic)
5) Many contradictions in the Bible. Their own JW magazines called 'awake' or 'watchtower'
mentioned thousands of errors in the Bible in ~1960s
e.g.:
http://www.islamway.com/english/images/library/contradictions.htm
(Some of these have been removed by JW in their bible)
6) Jesus talked about the Holy Spirit bringing the words of the 'Father' and we believe that
he was talking about the Quran. (16:12-13)
Judaism
Beliefs of Judaism
One God
Claim to believe in and follow Abraham and Moses
The future coming of The Messiah or great leader; Jews reject Jesus as their Messiah.
They are the chosen people - God chose them above all others
Talmud: ‘Teachings’. Somewhat similar to commentaries of the Old Testament, sayings
of Rabbis. First written down during the third and fourth century AD.
19
20. How to Invite Jews to Islam
Discuss similarities:
Belief in One God. Old Testament Prophets.
Proof of Qur'an being a miracle (especially scientific facts as most of them are highly
educated).
Discuss The Prophet Abraham (PBUH) and show that he was a Muslim and that Muslims
are following him.
The following verse of the Qur’an shows that we are the true followers of The Prophet
Abraham (PBUH):
“And they say: Be Jews or Christians, then ye will be rightly guided. Say (unto them, O
Muhammad): Nay, but (we follow) the religion of Abraham, the upright, and he was not of the
idolaters”. (Qur'an 2:135)
Atheism
The Beliefs
There is no God, there is no Creator!
Everything else they say is their criticism of religion.
Their common criticisms of religion:
There is no God, people just made it up.
I don’t believe in organised religion.
Religion causes trouble and wars.
If God exists, why are there disasters and babies die.
I believe in Evolution and Darwin.
Muslims are terrorists.
All religions basically say the same thing
I don’t want to follow rules.
I am happy the way I am.
(To answer the above comments use the flow chart Fig 1.)
Proof That God Exists:
1. The Law of Cause and Effect - Causality (Cosmological Argument)
20
21. For anything to happen there must be a cause e.g. whatever we see must have
come into being because it was made or that some event happened which caused
it to come into being. The ultimate cause for everything is The Creator of the
universe.
2. The Design and Precision of the Universe (Teleological Argument).
(Sir Isaac Newton’s example to an Atheist, Prof P Davies –The Templeton Prize)
3. The Prophets ; Their lives and the consistency of their message
4. The Miracles given to The Prophets; today's miracle is The Qur’an
Hinduism
Hindu: The word ‘Hindu’ is a corrupt form of the word ‘sindhu,’ a region watered by river Indus.
Founder of Hinduism: None
Major Beliefs:
Belief in Vedas
Practice of Caste system
Sanctity of Cow and other animals
Belief in One or many gods.
Reincarnation
Incarnation of Gods
How to persuade a Hindu of Islam’s truth
Concentrate on showing that their scripture talks about worshipping one God and is against
worshipping idols.
Bhagavat Gita 7:19-21: ‘All those who do idol worship, all those who worship demigods are
materialistic people.’
Yajur Veda 3:32: ‘…Of that God you cannot make any images.
Yajur Veda 40:8: ‘All those who worship the uncreated things, they are in darkness, and you’ll
enter more into darkness if you worship the created things.’
Rig Veda Vol.6, 45:16: ‘There is only one God, worship Him.’
Also show that the arrival of The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is described on many occasions
in their ‘holy’ books
21
22. Frequently Asked Questions
So you can marry four wives?
Polygamy in the Bible:
Abraham had 2 wives, Sarah and Hagar – Genesis 16:1-3
Jacob, son of Isaac had 4 wives – Genesis 26:34, 28:9
Saul had a wife and a concubine – I Sam.14:50, II Sam.3:7
David had 8 wives – I Sam.18:27, 25:42, 43 II Sam.3:2-5, 11:27, 12:8
(NB: Neither Jesus Christ nor God ever prohibited polygamy in the Bible.)
Why do women have to cover themselves?
There is a dress code for both males and females.
Ask them if they have seen a ‘picture’ or ‘painting’ of Mary the mother of Jesus- she dresses like
a Muslim.
Islam as a complete guidance came to preserve chastity in the society.
Why do you call him Allah?
All beautiful names belong to Him (Qur'an 17:111)
The word Allah is purer and a better word to use than the English word God because:
• To God you can add ‘dess’ = Goddess.
• God with a small ‘g’ – god – may cause confusion. Allah can’t be written with a small ‘g’.
• God with mother or father becomes Godmother, Godfather etc. To Allah nothing can be
added.
• English word ‘God’ could be ambiguous, confusing, manipulated, etc, but the pure word
‘Allah’ could never be confusing because it always refers to the One Almighty God, Our
Creator, with no male and female gender, and no partners.
