One of the better known Muslim sites islamqa.info had this to say in the case of Mut’a “Whatever the case, marrying with the intention of getting divorced is haraam, and it may be either invalid in and of itself like mut’ah, or haraam because of the deceit and betrayal involved.” How can Sunni Muslims say Mut’a is haram when Allah prescribed it for them? This is found in the Qur’an itself.
In Surah 4:24 Allah gave Muslims the right to practise Mut’a, Sunni Muslims would deny this but Shia Muslims still have this as a practice today. Does anyone including a messenger of God have the right to change a command from God if God never gave a command to change it? This is what Muhammad did, he deliberately changed it saying not to practice Mut’a in the following Hadith.
In Sunan an-Nasa’i Muhammad forbids “temporary marriage” (there’s no such thing as marriage in Islam to prove this read the article Does The Word Nikah Mean Marriage In Islam?) otherwise known as Mut’a. How is it that the god of Islam gives the command for Muslims to indulge in prostitution yet Muhammad is able to abrogate a command from god? Who’s the real god in Islam? How can man abrogate the command of god unless Muhammad is secretly Allah? This is further proof that the Qur’an is a man-made book from a deranged man called Muhammad.
Again the false translation from Muslims anytime you see words in brackets that means those words are not found in Arabic. They are trying to deceive people into thinking marriage is practised in Islam but Nikah doesn’t mean marriage. Again read the above-suggested article for more information on the word Nikah. Notice Muhammad says “their marriage should last for 3 nights, and if they like to continue”, what kind of marriage is this?
This is more proof that Mut’a was practised as seen in Sahih al-Bukhari 5119.
Lastly, in Sahih Muslim 1406d we read that this “marriage” is a “temporary marriage” meaning a Muslim man is allowed to do Mut’a and pay a Muslim woman for sex. In this same Hadith Muhammad says Allah forbids Mut’a, but the Qur’an says nothing about Allah forbidding the practice, there’s no verse that tells Muslim they cannot do Mut’a anymore.
How can Muhammad cancel Qur’an if Allah never gave a verse to Muhammad saying to stop Mut’a? As you can see Islam doesn’t have any concept of marriage only paying for sex is allowed. This is why any Muslim who rejects it is going against their own Qur’an.
Muslim: “I don’t know wether rabbi Singer is aware that the muslims love him.”
Continuing on from the last (Tovia Singer Afraid to tell Muslims Jesus is Not The Messiah) article in which we read about how Tovia Singer and Muslims are in love with each other. Muslims if you’re so in love with the Jews how is it that the Jews said Allah is powerless, the Jews would never say that about Yahweh.
This shows that the Jews do not believe Allah is the same God as Yahweh which the Jews and Christians worship. The proof is found in Surah 5 verse 64, it says:
The Jews say: “Allah’s hand is tied up.” how can Muslims claim the Jews worship the same god of Islam? If the Jews are saying Allah’s hands are tied or chained they are saying that the god of Islam has no power to do anything.
Ibn-Kathir Al-Qur’an Tafsir The Jews Say That Allah’s Hand is Tied up! Allah states that the Jews, may Allah’s continuous curses descend on them until the Day of Resurrection, describe Him as a miser. Allah is far holier than what they attribute to Him. The Jews also claim that Allah is poor, while they are rich.
The god of Islam doesn’t get any respect from the Jews, yet Muslims are professing their love and devotion to Tovia Singer a Jew who doesn’t believe in Allah. Isn’t it in the Hadith that says the stones will tell Muslims to kill Jews hiding behind them?
Are Muslims of today lying when they say they love the Jews because Muhammad is saying that the rocks will tell Muslims to kill Jews in this authentic hadith from Bukhari, or are Muslims correct thereby, saying Muhammad is wrong in telling Muslims to kill Jews? Either, followers of Islam are calling their prophet a liar or they themselves are lying, which one is it?
Muhammad who really is Allah says don’t take Jews or Christians as friends, Muslims who are saying they love Tovia Singer are hypocrites, pretending or ignorant of what their Qur’an says. Here’s proof from their own Qur’an.
What kind of god spreads hatred among people? It makes no sense that God would tell others to hate His people Israel. This is why Allah cannot be Yahweh since Allah hates the Jews that could only make Allah Satan.
Muslims insist the Quran is perfect—completely free from error contradiction. In reality the Qur’an contradicts itself on almost every topic. What did Allah create first, heaven or earth? According to Surah 41:9, the earth was created first, then the heavens. And according to Surah 79:27-30, the heavens were created first, then the earth.
Does Allah not know which he created first, If Allah was god then he would certainly know which he created first right? Let’s look at the Qur’an and laugh at how ridiculous Muhammad and his god are.
Sūrat fuṣṣilat
41:9 “He who created the earth in two days” here Allah started creating the Earth.
41:10 “And He placed on the earth firmly set mountains over its surface,” Allah created mountains on the surface of the Earth.
41:11 “THEN He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke” It’s important to notice the word then, meaning “afterwards” signifying that once the Earth was created Allah created heaven.
41:12 “And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired in each heaven its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps and as protection.” Lastly Allah makes stars or lamps as the last thing he creates.
In sūrat fuṣṣilat the order of creation is (1) Earth (2) mountains (3) heaven (4) lamps. In the following surah we don’t have the same order it’s completely different.
Sūrat l-nāziʿāt
79:27 “Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.” Here Allah starts creating heaven first not the Earth.
79:28 “He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.” he’s still creating heaven by raising it etc.
79:29 “And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.” Allah creates darkness (night) and brightness or light.
79:30 “And after that He spread the earth.” again important to notice the words “after that” meaning after heaven he now working on creating Earth spreading it.
79:31 “He extracted from it its water and its pasture,” water and pasture.
79:32 “And the mountains He set firmly” and lastly he creates the mountains.
Are there any Abdools who can explain why there god has Alzheimer’s disease? Allah doesn’t know if he created the Earth first or the heavens. Qur’an cannot be from God because God would never make such a blunder.
Ibn-Kathir Tafsir
Let’s go to their scholars for the passage above. Muslims these are your books not ours (Christians).
“Here Allah denounces the idolators who worship other gods apart from Him although He is the Creator, Subduer and Controller of all things. He says: … (Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days) (7:54). is explained in more detail; the creation of the earth and the creation of the heaven are discussed separately. Allah says that He created the earth first, because it is the foundation, and the foundation should be built first, then the roof. Allah says elsewhere: (He it is Who created for you all that is on the earth. Then He rose over (Istawa ila) the heaven and made them seven heavens) (2:29). With regard to the Ayat: (Are you more difficult to create or is the heaven that He constructed He raised its height, and has perfected it. Its night He covers with darkness and its forenoon He brings out (with light). And after that He spread the earth, And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture. And the mountains He has fixed firmly, (to be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.) (79:27-33) This Ayah states that the spreading out of the earth came after the creation of the heavens, but the earth itself was created before the heavens according to some texts.”
Notice the lies in order to cover up the error of Muhammad Ibn Kathir is saying the “spreading of the Earth” is not the same as creating the Earth, Muslims provide a verse in the Qur’an that states spreading out the Earth is not referring to creation. I thought the Qur’an was sufficient to explain itself according to Qur’an “explained in detail” (6,114; 7,52; 41,3 & 7,174)?
Muslim: “Rabbi, as a Muslim, I value you knowledge and wisdom and consider you one of the greatest asset to all children of Ibrahim, the worshippers of ONE G-d. …I would not think that it was possible for a religious Muslim to praise a Jew, let alone, a Rabbi in such a high regards. That is the bridge that our sweet Rabbi has built and a million thanks to Youtube, the crowed on the bridge is ever increasing. Rabbi, Can’t thank you enough for your hard work.”
Muslim: “I honestly find it inspiring that Muslims and Jews can come together on the doctrine of the Unity of the Godhead in opposition to the logically absurd doctrine of the Trinity that Christian theologians developed long after Jesus was gone. If Judaism and Islam both increased while Christianity diminished, that would be fine by me.”
Muslim: “I’m muslim in Indonesia and I love Rabbi Tovia Singer.”
These are some comments from Muslims to Tovia Singer, why are Muslims in love with a Jewish Rabbi when Islam teaches hatred toward Jews? It’s simple both Judaism and Islam teach hate towards Jesus Christ and His followers.
Muslims are so desperate they are now turning to atheists like Bart Ehrman and now Tovia Singer, just as long as the individual is an enemy of Christianity the Muslims love them. They share a common hatred towards our Lord and Saviour. In this article, we’ll quickly expose both Islam and Judaism for the hypocrisy they share.
Tovia was asked the question “Is Jesus the Messiah” but he won’t answer because he knows that he (Tovia) rejects Jesus Christ as the Messiah which basically means Tovia Singer is saying Muhammad is a false prophet and the Qur’an is a false book. Because Islam teaches that Isa (Islamic Jesus) is the Messiah. The following verses from the Qur’an prove that Muslims in their hatred towards Christianity are rejecting their own Islamic beliefs just to attack Christians. Look at the hypocrisy.
Muslims have chosen to side with Tovia Singer who doesn’t think Jesus is the Messiah and thereby is calling Islam a false religion. He rejects Muhammad but as mentioned earlier Muslims are desperate to attack Christians and will side with non-Muslims as long as they are enemies of Christianity.
In Surah 3 verse 45 (Aali ‘Imran) speaks about the virgin birth of Isa (Jesus) the Qur’an says Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus, yet Tovia rejects this by saying the virgin birth is nothing new; that it’s been adopted from Greek Mythology.
Tovia says: “rituals like the mythical founder of Rome Romulus was said to be born of a virgin and God. Pythagoras the philosopher was said to be born of a virgin. Octavius Caesar Augustus the adopted son of Julius Caesar was said to have been was the son of God and then he was born. I mean this is Hercules was said to have been conceived by a relationship between Zeus and his mother so what happened is as Christianity was leaving Jerusalem and moving toward Athens it was adopting the ideas that had emerged from Greece rather than from Yeshuaian”.
This means Tovia is saying that Isa is not the Messiah and that the virgin birth which Muslims believe is nothing special because according to Singer it comes from Greek Mythology, which means Allah is wrong and Muhammad is a liar for bringing Qur’an which says Isa was born from a virgin and that he’s the Messiah. Yet Muslims are saying they love Tovia Singer.
As for Tovia Singer how can a Jew walk hand and hand with those who wish death to the Jews because of their Islamic beliefs? Here are verses from the Qur’an and Hadith which proves Muhammad hated the Jews. In Surah 9 ver 30 we read.
The Qur’an says that the Jews worship Ezra as the son of Allah, and that the Christians say the Messiah which is Jesus is the son of Allah. Then the verse goes on to say “Allah’s curse be on them”?! As a Jew how can Tovia take sides with Muslims whose own book curses the Jews?
I’m certain Tovia would deny this verse and in doing so is saying that Muhammad is a liar. Yet he would never admit to this because he’s a coward and wants money from Muslims as he knows it’s lucrative for him to be on the side of Muslims. But this is hypocrisy in the highest form. In the Hadith we have another hateful teaching towards the Jews and Christians.
Muhammad says in the above hadith which is Sahih (authentic) that he would expel all the Jews from the Arabian Peninsula. Tell me how can a Jew claim solidarity with Islam when it clearly teaches hatred towards Jews? The ignorance of Islam from Tovia Singer as well as his blind hatred shows he knows nothing, just because he’s against Christianity he willing to be in bed with Muslims even though their prophet hates Jews.
And the Muslims are either ignorant or lying when they say they love Tovia Singer. The hypocrisy from both sides is staggering. Muslims are willing to toss their beliefs under the bus in order to attack the Bible, but through it all Christians can stand firm on God’s word because we see how Satan is using these two against us. They will never be able to go against the Lord Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
Followers of Muhammad say Islam is the final revelation from “God” to humanity, that Allah is the same as Yahweh the true God we find in the Bible, but are they the same? If they are the same then God would convey His message the same without contradicting each other if they are indeed the same God. The problem we find is that Allah and Yahweh don’t say the same things.
We come across a Hadith which all Sunni Muslims follow, for the Sunnah are the sayings of Muhammad their prophet. In the following Hadith the topic is on women’s menstruation and what a man’s allowed to do with her during this period.
The above Hadith tells us that it’s Halal (permitted) to engage in certain sexual acts during a woman’s menstruation “the Prophet said: “Do every thing else apart from sexual intercourse (with your wives)””. Muhammad in the Hadith is obviously talking about sex not marriage, therefore why do Muslims take the word Nikah (اَلنِّكَاحَ) and try to pass it off as “marriage”?
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ - رضى الله عنه - { أَنَّ اَلْيَهُودَ كَانُوا إِذَا حَاضَتْ اَلْمَرْأَةُ لَمْ يُؤَاكِلُوهَا, فَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم - “اِصْنَعُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا اَلنِّكَاحَ” } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِم
If the word Nikah (اَلنِّكَاحَ) meant marriage as Muslims say then the Hadith would read: “Do every thing else apart from marriage(with your wives)” don’t forget this in the context of having sexual relations; which would be promoting fornication.
Muslims have falsely translated this word to mean “marriage” but there’s no such thing as marriage in Islam according to their own Qur’an and Hadith’s. Take a look at the following misleading English translations below.
The actual word for marrige in Arabic is زواج (zawaj), note the difference Nikah: اَلنِّكَاحَ and Zawaj: زواج these are not the same word. The following is a translation from Arberry look how deep the deception goes as they try to pass of the word Nikah as marriage.
When talking about this subject in Islam the Arabic word Nikah is a vulgar word which I will not say here, but if your curious and want to look into the word for yourself and see the true meaning of the word I’ll provide a link here. Just beware it’s a vulgar word which the Qur’an uses, the true God Yahweh would never use such language.
The word Nikah cannot mean both Marriage and Sexual Intercourse, therefore the only way for Muslims to deceive others into thinking the word means Marriage is to falsely translate to Arabic. I’m providing this information so that you can keep yourself from being deceived by the Dawah tactics of Muslims.
Also, for Muslims who are sincere in knowing the truth, I understand that it can be hard to learn these things after being so invested in a belief especially being born and raised in this cult. I do this not because I hate Muslims but because I love them and want them to come to the only One who can save them, that’s the Lord Jesus Christ.
In Islam adultery is haram looked upon as a major sin, on the popular Islamqa.info website which is run by Muslims we read the following on the about page “Islam Q&A is an academic, educational, da‘wah website which aims to offer advice and academic answers based on evidence from religious texts in an adequate and easy-to-understand manner. These answers are supervised by Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-Munajjid (may Allah preserve him).” A Muslima contacted Islamqa.info who suspected her husband of committing adultery she said:
According to Muslims zina (unlawful sexual relationship) is haram and needs to be repented of to Allah. Here’s the problem in the Hadith of Sahih Muslim we’re told Allah determines how much adultery a person will commit.
Now the question is how can Allah punish anyone if they are only doing the very thing Allah has commanded for that person to indulge in? On the Islamiq.info site, they said a person must: “do a lot of righteous deeds, and seek good company who will encourage him to do good and obey Allah and to avoid evil and sin.”
But the person who has committed adultery is already obeying Allah because Allah made him/her do it. This brings us to the belief of determinism in Islam, that Allah determines everything to happen. Therefore, according to the teachings of the Qur’an adultery, abortion, rape, thief and anything else comes from Allah determining it to happen.
To substantiate our claim that Islam teaches determinism, we’ll look at another Hadith, concerning an argument between Adam and Moses.
In this Sahih Hadith, we have Moses blaming Adam for them being kicked out of paradise (Jannah). Moses blames Adam but what really happened is that Allah made (determined) that Adam would commit sin by eating from the tree and thereby getting kicked out of paradise. Adam tells Moses that Allah decreed that Adam would sin 40 years before Adam was created.
If Allah made Adam eat from the tree then why is Adam being blamed for obeying Allah’s command? There you go folks, Islam the most ridiculous religion, if Allah causes people sin how can Allah be justified in punishing them for what he has decreed for them to do? This makes Allah an unjust god and is further proof that Allah is not the true God (Yahweh) of the Bible.
Muslims are taught early from birth to be prideful in their religion, they take much stock in their prophet who according to Muslims was a Middle Eastern man. In the West, Muslims have used dawah to deceive blacks into thinking Islam is a religion for black people. Yet these Muslim missionaries keep from them that Muhammad was depicted as a white man according to their own books?
So why does it come as a shock to Muslims when they’re told that Muhammad was a white man? It’s because Muslims are taught not to question anything but to follow blindly what their scholars and Imam’s tell them. Let’s dig into the Islamic sources for ourselves to see if Muhammad was considered white or not. Everything we claim here must be backed up with sources and that’s what we’re going to do.
The Hadith’s say that Muhammad was a white man
These following Hadith’s might come to shock those who became Muslim because they thought Islam was a “black religion”. In the following Hadith by Sahih Muslim, we’re told that “Allah’s Messenger” had a white handsome face.
In this Hadith we have the story of a man who came on a camel looking for Muhammad. The Hadith by Sahih al-Bukhari says that Muhammad was a white man sitting (reclining) with his companions.
There are even Hadith’s which go into the white complexion of Muhammad, I’m not really sure why Muhammad felt the need to convey over and over again that he’s white? There is more information which we’ll provide that answers this question, we’ll reserve it to the end.
This Hadith explains that Muhammad only raised his hands for Istisqa and they saw the whiteness of Muhammad’s armpits. I mean these Hadith’s are silly to say the least how is this supposed to be of any importance for spirituality?
The following Hadith contradicts the previous one in which it says Muhammad raised his arms only during the invocation of Istisqa. Here in Sahih Muslim it says he prostrated and spread out his arms revealing the whiteness of his armpits.
Again we’re introduced to the whiteness of his armpits. At this point, it’s safe to say that Muhammad was obsessed with being white but as promised there’s an explanation which we’ll mention at the end.
Again the whiteness of his armpits, they’re so white you can see them from behind when he would prostrate.
Here the Hadith focuses on the legs of Muhammad, his slave Bilal came with Wudu water in which they wiped themselves with. Muhammad came out of his tent wearing a red dress and they saw the whiteness of his shins.
Last but not least Sahih al-Bukhari tells us that “he was white” with a black beard which had some white hair. Remember that when sharing these Hadith’s with Muslims they will try to deny anything that is embarrassing. They will claim it’s Diaf (weak) but this Hadith, as well as others, are Sahih (authentic). Therefore, they cannot run away for these are the saying of Muhammad the Sunnah.
Now to bring forth the reason why Muhammad was so engrossed with proclaiming that he’s white. It’s well known that Muhammad was racist selling and owning black slaves. Here’s a Hadith which proves that Muhammad was against blacks.
What kind of “prophet of God” would do such a thing? This is the behaviour of an ungodly man who enslaved blacks. Under Sharia Law (The Judgement of the Shari’a regarding someone who curses or disparages the Prophet) you cannot call Muhammad black otherwise you can be killed, this is according to the Muslim sources.
Now you can see why Muhammad was so adamant in proclaiming his whiteness because he saw blacks as inferior. Muhammad is a satanic prophet and Islam is a religion of the devil, come out of Islam and come to the Holy One of Israel the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.
The Hadith’s are the saying’s of Muhammad called Sunnah, the Hadith are second only to the Qur’ān in authority followed and practiced by Muslims. A Muslim must believe in the Hadith in order to be a considered a Muslim.
In the following Hadith by Sahih Muslim we read that “The bell is the musical instrument of the Satan” Why is a bell claimed to be an instrument of Satan is beyond me and makes no sense but that’s what their own books say.
According to the Sahih Muslim 2114 the bell is from Satan this is interesting because there’s another Hadith which says Muhammad received Qur’ān as the sound of a bell. This Hadith is also found in Sahih Muslim it tells us that Muhammad receives “wahi (inspiration)” and that “At times it comes to me like the ringing of a bell”.
Putting the two Hadith’s together it’s not hard to figure out that if bells are from Satan and Muhammad received Qur’ān in the sound of bells logically speaking can only mean he’s receiving satanic inspiration in the form of Qur’ān. This makes sense taking into account the Qur’ān says Satan puts words into the mouth of Muhammad which made its way into the Qur’ān. We can find it in Qur’ān 22 verse 52
Now the apostle was anxious for the welfare of his people, wishing to attract them as far as he could. . . . When the apostle saw that his people turned their backs on him and he was pained by their estrangement from what he brought them from God he longed that there should come to him from God a message that would reconcile his people to him. Because of his love for his people and his anxiety over them it would delight him if the obstacle that made his task so difficult could be removed. . . . Then God sent down “By the star when it sets your comrade errs not and is not deceived, he speaks not from his own desire,” and when he reached His words “Have you thought of al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat the third, the other”, Satan, when he was meditating upon it, and desiring to bring it to his people, put upon his tongue “these are the exalted Gharaniq [Numidian cranes] whose intercession is approved.” When the Quraysh heard that, they were delighted and greatly pleased at the way in which he spoke of their gods and they listened to him; while the believers were holding that what their prophet brought them from their Lord was true, not suspecting a mistake or a vain desire or a slip, and when he reached the prostration and the end of the Sura in which he prostrated himself the Muslims prostrated themselves when their prophet prostrated confirming what he brought and obeying his command, and the polytheists of Quraysh and others who were in the mosque prostrated when they heard the mention of their gods, so that everyone in the mosque believer and unbeliever prostrated . . . Then the people dispersed and the Quraysh went out, delighted at what had been said about their gods, saying, “Muhammad has spoken of our gods in splendid fashion. He alleged in what he read that they are the exalted Gharaniq whose intercession is approved.”
The news reached the prophet’s companions who were in Abyssinia, it being reported that Quraysh had accepted Islam, so some men started to return while others remained behind. Then Gabriel came to the apostle and said, “What have you done, Muhammad? You have read to these people something I did not bring you from God and you have said what He did not say to you.” The apostle was bitterly grieved and was greatly in fear of God. So God sent down (a revelation), for He was merciful to him, comforting him and making light of the affair and telling him that every prophet and apostle before him desired as he desired and wanted what he wanted and Satan interjected something into his desires as he had on his tongue. So God annulled what Satan had suggested and God established His verses, i.e. you are just like the prophets and apostles. Then God sent down: “We have not sent a prophet or apostle before you but when he longed Satan cast suggestions in his longing. But God will annul what Satan has suggested. Then God will establish his verses, God being knowing and wise.” (Ibn Ishaq, pp. 165-166)
After reading this what’s the take-home? (1) Muhammad desired to reconcile his people bringing them together. (2) Satan took advantage of Muhammad desires and put demonic revelation into the mouth of Muhammad. (3) Muhammad didn’t recognise this was from Satan and delivered the Satanic verses. (4) The Quraysh was happy that Muhammad was promoting polytheism Ibn Hisham says “When the Quraysh heard that, they were delighted and greatly pleased at the way in which he spoke of their gods and they listened to him” (5) Muhammad along with the Muslims and the Quraysh prostrated together in worship. (6) Jibril (angel Gabriel) comes to Muhammad telling him what he recited was not from Allah but Satan.
Here’s the question how can Muslims believe in a satanic prophet who couldn’t recognise the difference between revelation from Allah or Shaitan? If it’s so easy for Satan to put into Muhammad’s mouth demonic revelation how much more of the Qur’ān is from Satan? It’s safe to say all of it is from Satan remember the Hadith “The bell is the musical instrument of the Satan” and Muhammad receives “wahi (inspiration)” and that “At times it comes to me like the ringing of a bell”. Just from this evidence alone can we conclude that Allah is Satan, this is why Muhammad couldn’t tell the difference between the two.
Lastly, the Qur’ān says if Muhammad is a slave of Allah then Satan wouldn’t have authority over Muhammad. But we clearly see that Satan did have authority over him putting into his mouth satanic verses. We’ll end with the Qur’ānic verse proving Muhammad is a false prophet from Satan.
The Qur’ānic verse is saying only those who don’t belong to Allah are deviators, this would mean Muhammad is a deviator according to their own book. Muslims leave Islam and come into the arms of Jesus Christ, He’s waiting to forgive you all your sins.
In Islam Muslims are taught certain things are allowed (halal) while others are forbidden (haram). Muhammad had stoled this from Judaism in which Hebrews eat kosher foods. On islamqa.info the question was asked from a Muslim: “Why does islam prohibit drinking alcohol even in small amounts? And what does Koran say about it?”
Here’s the response they gave concerning alcohol: “No doubt alcohol is intoxicating, and contains this substance that makes people lose their minds. It says in the hadeeth, “Every intoxicant is khamr, and every khamr is haraam (forbidden).” If this is the case, then alcohol is considered to be forbidden and to come under the heading of “khamr”(wine, etc.) which people drink for relaxation or enjoyment. Allaah has forbidden it and stated that it is a sin, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):”
Let’s see what the Qur’an says where alcohol came from, in the following ayat we read that strong drink otherwise known as alcohol is the handiwork of Shaytaan.
O ye who believe! Strong drink and games of chance and idols and divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan’s handiwork. Leave it aside in order that ye may succeed. — S 5:90 (Pickthall)
Now if we look at another ayat in the Qur’an which says that alcohol was created by Allah as a sign for the people, good provision and for those who have wisdom.
And from the fruits of date-palms and grapes, you derive strong drink (this was before the order of the prohibition of the alcoholic drinks) and a goodly provision. Verily, therein is indeed a sign for people who have wisdom. — S 16:67 (Mohsin Khan)
If we then take these 2 verses together then we must reach the conclusion that Allah and Satan are the same. If alcohol is Satan’s handiwork and Allah made alcohol as a sign for the Muslims this means Allah is Satan. Going into the Tafsir for further explanation we read from Ibn Kathir.
Tafsir of Ibn-Kathir: Prohibiting Khamr (Intoxicants) and Maysir (Gambling) Allah forbids His believing servants from consuming Khamr and Maysir which is gambling. Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Ali bin Abi Talib, the Leader of the Faithful, said that chess is a type of gambling. Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Ata’, Mujahid and Tawus, or , two of them, said that every type of gambling, including children’s playing with (a certain type of) nuts, is Maysir. Ibn `Umar said that Al-Maysir means gambling, and this is the same statement that Ad-Dahhak reported from Ibn `Abbas, who added, “They used to gamble during the time of Jahiliyyah, until Islam came. Allah then forbade them from this evil behavior.”
According to Ibn Kathir alcohol is Shaytan’s evil handiwork, and that in alcohol is great sin which is prohibited for Muslims. The Definition of prohibited is not permitted, forbidden by authority so how can it have “some benefit for men?” It’s abundantly clear that Islam is a religion from the father of lies Satan, many of these Muslims are confused because they don’t even know their own religion. May there eyes be open to the falsehood of Muhammad.
When referencing the Qur’ān’s teaching of Allah’s face or any other mentioned part the typical Muslim response is “There is nothing like unto Him.” ayah 42:11. Indeed Allah has a face in which Muslims are to pray towards, one of the top Islamic scholars al-Jalalayn comments in the Tafsir.
We’ll look to answer this mystery more sufficiently as we take a closer look at the similarities of Allah and the Dajjal.
Islam teaches there’s a coming day in which the Dajjal will come to deceive people into thinking he’s the Messiah. Muhammad burrowed this doctrine from such Biblical text such as Matthew 24:23, Mark 13:21, 1 John 2:18 and Revelation 13:1 to name a few.
The Dajjal in Islam
The above Hadith is graded Sahih (authentic) in case Muslims claim it’s a weak (Da’if) Hadith, this Hadith is accepted by Muslim scholars. Notice the description of the Dajjal as being short in stature, hen-toed, woolly-haired and one-eyed, these descriptions denotes he has a physical body. It’s important to keep in mind that Muhammad is assuring Muslims that their Lord is not one-eyed. Therefore we can gather that Allah looks identical to the Dajjal except for the distinguishing feature that Allah is not one-eyed.
According to the Islamic narrative the Dajjal is an evil individual in Islamic eschatology who’ll claim he’s the awaited Messiah but in fact he’s the false Messiah, arriving on the scene before the Day of Resurrection. This is important later we’ll see how this comes into play. Also there’s no such thing as the “Antichrist” in Islam the actual terminology is Al-Masih ad-Dajjal (the false Messiah).
Continuing to prove the Dajjal looks like Allah we will read other Hadith’s which exposes Allah as having a shape, 2 right hands, a foot and so on.
The above Hadith Sunan an-Nasa’i describes Allah as having two right hands
This Hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari says Allah will come in a shape the Muslims won’t recognise, they’ll essentially reject Allah. Allah will then change his shape only then will the Muslims recognise him and will follow Allah.
Sahih al-Bukhari describes Allah as having a foot and he will his foot over hell and say “Qati! Qati!” (enough enough) stoping additional people from being tossed into hell. These are all descriptions of body parts Allah has. Just as we read earlier the Dajjal has one eye and Muhammad is telling Muslims not to be confused Allah doesn’t have 1 eye.
If Allah is nothing like his creation why are we being given vivid descriptions of body parts? If we learned that Allah has eyes, shape, hands and a foot how can Muslims reject the Christian belief that God became a Man in the Person of Jesus Christ?
How will Muslims Recognise Allah?
The Qur’ān says that Allah will uncover his shin on the Day of Resurrection Surah 68:42. The Arabic actually says “the leg”, again the question has to be raised if Allah is not a man how can he have legs?
We come to the conclusion that the god of Islam is made up of body parts just like any human. The Islamic sources tell us he has eyes, hands, feet and a shape. The Qur’ān says Allah has a face, yet Muslims profess that Allah is nothing like his creation, but the Qur’ān and Hadith are using terms which are found in creation.
If Dajjal is claiming to be the Messiah how is he claiming to be god? Muhammad said he’s afraid because Muslims will mistake him the Dajjal for their “Lord” otherwise known as Allah.
Christians believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, our God became a real Man. The Islamic sources also have this concept because Muhammad tried to take the teachings from the Bible without understanding them making many mistakes and contradictions in the Qur’ān and Hadith.
Continuing on with the variant readings from different Arabic Qur’ān’s we’re proving the SIN (standard Islamic narrative) is not true. The Arabic text found in the following versions of the Qur’ān contradicts each other. The following reading we have a singular word against a plural word.
Hafs Qur’ān
Hafs Qur’ān: al kuffaar “The unbelievers”
And those before them did indeed make plans, but all planning is Allah’s; He knows what every soul earns, and the unbelievers shall come to know for whom is the (better) issue of the abode. — Surah 13:42
Ibn Jamaz Qur’ān
Ibn Jamaz Qur’ān: al kaafir “The unbeliever”
And those before them did indeed make plans, but all planning is Allah’s; He knows what every soul earns, and the unbeliever shall come to know for whom is the (better) issue of the abode. — Surah 13:42
Conclusion
How can the Qur’ān be from God? God doesn’t contradict His own word, the Qur’ān has errors historically, topographically, orthographically and theologically. If God doesn’t make mistakes and if the Qur’ān was from God it would have no mistakes at all. Muslims claim there’s only 1 Qur’ān then how can 1 Qur’ān say two different things in the same ayat?
By looking at the 2 words closely we see they are different which 2 different meanings. The rasm is not the same and the diacritical marks are different.
According to the SIN (standard Islamic narrative) we’re told that there’s only one Qur’ān revealed from Allah, given to Jibrel (Gabriel) and given to Muhammad. We have been told that the Qur’ān is the same all around the world. And that the words of the Qur’ān are the same not one word has been changed.
We’re going to look at Surah 66:12 sūrat l-taḥrīm (“The Prohibition”), let’s take a closer look at this ayat to see if the Hafs and Warsh Qur’ān are the same.
Hafs Qur’ān
And Mary daughter of Imran, who kept safe her private parts, so We breathed in it of Our Spirit, and she testified to the Words of her Lord, and HIS BOOKS; and she was one of the devout.
The word in the Hafs Qur’ān:wa kutubihi means “his books”, notice this is a plural word.
Warsh Qur’ān
And Mary daughter of Imran, who kept safe her private parts, so We breathed in it of Our Spirit, and she testified to the Words of her Lord, and HIS BOOK; and she was one of the devout.
The word in the Warsh Qur’ān: wa kitaabihi which means “His book”, notice this is a singular word.
Conclusion
If you take a close look at both the Hafs and Warsh Arabic shown above you’ll notice the underlined word has different diacritical marks changing the meaning of the word. The one found in Hafs is a plural word “books” while Warsh is singular “book”.
Therefore, does Allah have many revelations which he gave, or just one? This is extremely important, since if it is one book, then Mary only testifies to the Bible, and not the Quran. Perhaps our Muslim friends who can explain will come and answer this?
Continuing on with our series variant readings from different Arabic Qur’ān’s we’re going to look at the differences between the Hafs version compared with the Warsh recitation. Below is the English translation of the ayat.
The Hafs
How many of the prophets fought (قَاتَلَ) (in Allah’s way), and with them (fought) Large bands of godly men? but they never lost heart if they met with disaster in Allah’s way, nor did they weaken (in will) nor give in. And Allah Loves those who are firm and steadfast.
Here is the Arabic of Hafs focus on the bold word:
Note the Warsh version has the word (قٌَتِلَ) which changes the meaning of the ayat. This word found in Warsh has different diacritical marks than the one in Hafs. The variant in the Warsh reads:
And how many a prophet were killed (قٌَتِلَ) and with him fought many religious scholars. But they never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in the cause of Allah , nor did they weaken or submit. And Allah loves the steadfast.
Question
If one version says the prophets fought and the other says they were killed the significance of that statement between the two are vastly different. If someone fought in a war that doesn’t necessary mean they were killed. But if the statement is made that someone was killed then we realise that person is no longer alive.
Conclusion
Muslims claim there’s only 1 Qur’ān, translators will try to conceal certain words from the Arabic when translating into English. This is the deception of Islam, without lies Islam dies. These lies which Muslims using Dawah deceive many people into thinking there’s only 1 Qur’ān when in reality there are 37-40 different Arabic Qur’ān’s with different words.
An argument made against the Bible by Muslims is “there’s many Bible versions”, this argument is incorrect. There are many English translations of the Bible (KJV, ESV, NASB etc.), the same as there are many English translations of the Qur’ān (Yusuf Ali, Pickthall, Arberry etc.). Does this mean there are also many different Qur’ān’s?
Yes there are because in this article we’re speaking of different Arabic versions, not English translations. Unlike the Qur’ān the Bible is originally written in Hebrew and Greek, therefore, for Muslims to point at English translations and claim there’s many Bible versions is untrue. There’s only 1 Bible in Hebrew and Greek, in speaking of the Qur’ān there’s the Hafs, Warsh, Doori, Al-Susi, Qaloon, Abi Jafar, al-Bazzi and many more.
We would like to take the time to invite Muslims to come to the better and bigger book the Bible and learn about the Saviour of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ that they might have salvation.
Muslims continue to deny the insurmountable evidence that the Qur’ān has not been preserved and is riddled with errors and contradictions. Different diacritical marks which changes the meaning of the word. How can anyone believe in a book which has multiple readings according to the original language (Arabic)?
At some point Lord willing, we’ll also take a “Deep Dive” into the rasm which is the consonantal skeletal text of the Qur’ān. Showing the variants between the Islamic manuscripts.
Hafs Qur’ān Vs. Heshaam ibn Ammar Qur’ān
Most Muslims are familiar reading the Hafs Qur’ān and are completely unaware of all the other versions out there. Therefore, being a kind individual I think the right thing to do is to inform our Muslim friends so that they are not ignorant of their existence.
Hafs Qur’ān Arabic Text
Here’s the Arabic text from the Hafs, if you notice above the yellow line we have the word Miskeenen. By taking a good look at the word and comparing it with the following text provided we can see that they are not the same word, Miskeenen is a singular word.
Hafs Qur’ān: Miskeenen
… And as for those who can fast with difficulty, may effect a redemption by feeding A POOR PERSON…
Heshaam ibn Ammar Qur’ān Arabic Text
Here we have the text from Heshaam ibn Ammar, once again observing the word above the yellow line we can see this is a completely different word from the Hafs. Masaakeena is a plural word and is written differently.
Heshaam ibn Ammar Qur’ān: Masaakeena
… And as for those who can fast with difficulty, may effect a redemption by feeding POOR MEN …
Conclusion
Muslims have a dilemma if the Qur’ān commands them to perform a certain deed how can they be sure they are doing what’s expected of them? For those who are unable to fast, can they feed just one poor man, or are they required to feed many poor men?
We’re introducing variant readings from different Arabic Qur’ān’s providing evidence that the standard Islamic narrative of there being only one Qur’ān is completely untrue. But don’t take my word for it, we’re providing the Arabic text which has different diacritical marks which changes the meaning of the ayat (sign).
Hafs Qur’ān Vs. Ibn Jafar Qur’ān
Hafs Qur’ān Arabic Text
Hafs Qur’ān: waa’adnaadum “We made an appointment (date)”
O children of Israel, we delivered you from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you at the right side of the mount when We sent down to you manna and quails
Ibn Jafar Qur’ān Arabic Text
Ibn Jafar Qur’ān: wa’adnaakum “We promised you”
O children of Israel, we delivered you from your enemy, and We promised you at the right side of the mount when We sent down to you manna and quails
Conclusion
Question for Muslims: Did they make an appointment, or did they promise? Making an appointment is different than promising. Please note “you” in Ibn Jafar is plural, while Hafs is singular.
The standard Islamic Narrative when it comes to the Qur’ān is that there’s only one Qur’ān, but how true is this? Muslims when crazy 4 years ago when Jay Smith and Hatun Tash introduced 26 different Arabic Qur’ān’s at speaker’s corner. To date there are about 37-40 different Arabic Qur’ān’s which have variants, contradicting one another.
We’re going to introduce this series of variant readings of the different Qur’ān’s providing the Arabic for your viewing pleasure.
Hafs Qur’ān Vs. Warsh Qur’ān
The Hafs Qur’ān is being the most popular among Muslims today, the second most popular version is the Warsh Qur’ān mostly used in the following countries Algeria, Morocco, parts of Tunisia, West Africa and Sudan. Below is a reading of Surah 21:4 from both the Hafs and Warsh.
Hafs Qur’ān Arabic Text
Hafs Qur’ān: qaala “He said”
HE SAID: My Lord knows what is spoken in the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
Warsh Qur’ān Arabic Text
Warsh Qur’ān: qul “Say (imperative: God is speaking)”
SAY; My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
Conclusion
Question for Muslims: Is Muhammad the one speaking here, or is Allah commanding? Is this injunction coming from man or God?
The Quran claims to be “explained in detail” (6:114; 7:52; 41:3 & 7:174), “a full explanation of the Book” (10:37), “the Book explaining all things” (16:89), “a detailed exposition of all things” (12:111), “the manifest Book (this Quran) that makes things clear” (44:2) “a Book are perfected its Verses moreover, explained in detail” (11:1) and in which “nothing has been neglected” (6:38).
The Quran mentions Allah’s face, hands and shin, but we cannot know what Allah looks like?
Allah’s hands:
“And believe no one unless he follows your religion.” Say: “True guidance is the Guidance of Allah: (Fear ye) Lest a revelation be sent to someone (else) Like unto that which was sent unto you? or that those (Receiving such revelation) should engage you in argument before your Lord?” Say: “All bounties are in THE HAND of Allah: He granteth them to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all, and He knoweth all things.” — S 3:73 (see also, S. 3:26, 5:64, 23:88, 36:71, 83, 39:67, 48:10, 49:1, 57:29, 67:1)
Here in Surah 3:73 all bounties are in the hand of Allah.
(Allah) said: “O Iblis! What prevents thee from prostrating thyself to one whom I have created with MY HANDS? Art thou haughty? Or art thou one of the high (and mighty) ones?” — S 38:75
In Surah 38:75 it’s said that Allah created Adam with his hands, clearly the Quran says Allah has hands. And just to cement the idea that Allah has hands in the hadith of Tirmidhi, Muhammad tells us that Allah touched him with his hand and he felt it.
Ibn Abbas reported that the Prophet said: My Lord came to me in the best FORM, whilst I was asleep, and said: O Muhammad, do you know what the angelic assembly is disputing about? I said: I do not! Then Allah placed HIS HAND between my shoulders until I felt Its coolness in my chest and I became aware of what was happening in Heaven and on earth… (Tirmidhi, 43, as cited in Dr. Abdul Khaliq Kazi & Dr. Alan B. Day, trans., Al-Ahadith Al-Qudsiyyah – Divine Narratives [Dar Al Kitab Arabi – USA, 1995], pp. 82-83)
Allah’s Face:
But will abide (for ever) the Face of thy Lord,- full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour. S. 55:27
The Quran states that Allah has a face but if you ask Muslims what does Allah look like they will say there’s nothing we can compare to him (S 42:11), they would say that the concept of a “face” cannot be applied to Allah because imagining Allah’s face would be out of our ability to do. Therefore, the word face as it relates to Allah is useless. The problem is if the Quran is “a detailed exposition of all things” (12,111) then certainly we should be able to know what Allah looks like but the Quran doesn’t explain what Allah looks like yet it’s “a detailed exposition of all things”.
Allah’s Eyes:
“‘Throw (the child) into the chest, and throw (the chest) into the river: the river will cast him up on the bank, and he will be taken up by one who is an enemy to Me and an enemy to him’: But I cast (the garment of) love over thee from Me: and (this) in order that thou mayest be reared under Mine eye. — S 20:39
Islam teaches that Allah does not enter into his creation, unlike in the Bible we read that God came into the world. Muslims reject this teaching but they have a problem, if the attributes of Allah to be interpreted in a real sense are part of Allah then this would mean that Allah has entered into his creation.
If Allah is all seeing we know this means he sees all in his creation which means his attributes of seeing eyes entered into his creation, the same way his word (the Quran, “Isa” S 4:171) entered into creation.
Allah’s Legs:
The Day that the shin shall be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to bow in adoration, but they shall not be able, — S 68:42
… Then the Almighty will come to them in a shape other than the one which they saw the first time, and He will say, ‘I am your Lord,’ and they will say, ‘You are not our Lord.’ And none will speak: to Him then but the Prophets, and then it will be said to them, ‘Do you know any sign by which you can recognize Him?’ They will say. ‘The Shin,’ and so Allah will then uncover His Shin whereupon every believer will prostrate before Him and there will remain those who used to prostrate before Him just for showing off and for gaining good reputation. … — Sahih al-Bukhari 7439
In the Quran we are told that Allah has legs in Surah 68:42, it says Allah will expose his shin and Muslims will bow down to Allah’s shin in adoration. And according to Sahih al-Bukhari 7439 says Allah will come to the Muslims “in a shape other than the one which they saw the first time” and Allah will say “I am your Lord” the Muslims will respond to Allah saying “You are not our Lord”.
The Muslims won’t even recognise their god at first. They (Muslims) will ask for a sign so that they can recognise him (Allah) and the way they will recognise Allah is by his shin“They will say. ‘The Shin,’ and so Allah will then uncover His Shin whereupon every believer will prostrate before Him”.
Allah’s Sits Down:
And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy Lord above them. — S 69:17
Also we’re told that Allah has a Throne which is used by sitting down on. The conclusion is that Allah is composed of parts face, eyes, hands, legs and even sits down. Yet Muslims claim there is none like Allah, but Allah is not doing anything we cannot comprehend. How is it Muslims will say Allah’s hands or face etc. Is nothing that we can imagine in our own minds? This makes the words of the Quran meaningless when it speaks about these concepts, especially when the Quran says it’s “the Book explaining all things”.
The Quran refutes itself in saying it explains all things yet doesn’t explain what Allah’s face, hands, legs or eyes look like or how we should understand them.
Where do Muslims learn to do their five daily prayers?
How do Muslims know to pray 5 times a day as there are no instructions in the Quran which tell Muslims how to preform the 5 daily prayers? How do Muslims know how to perform Wudu (wash)? If Muslims only use the Quran and not the Hadith or Tafsir they won’t know how many times to pray? Therefore, the Quran again exposes itself as not being a book that explains all things in detail.
Wudu is spoken in specific details in the Hadith but not in the Quran, therefore, how can the Quran be a “the Book explaining all things” (16:89)? Muslims need to wake up from the deception called Islam, Muhammad was a false prophet who is dead, but the free gift of salvation is being offered to them. Jesus Christ offers you eternal life, run from the darkness of Islam and come to know the One who is the Light of the World, the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Muslims you will not walk in darkness the moment you come to Jesus Christ for salvation.
Recently Muslims in Birmingham UK attacked Mufti Abu Layth another Muslim, they came to his house at night wearing mask as to conceal their identity and proceeded to toss stones through the windows. Screams coming from within the home were of his wife and 2 daughters ages 6 and 9. Who his 2 daughters were traumatized to the extent that they were hysterical and couldn’t sleep because of nightmares.
It was the result of Muhammad Hijab calling for action against Abu Layth in regards to the current fighting happening between Israel and Gaza Palestine. This is the true face of Islam, even Muslims cannot get along with one another to the point that they would target a man’s home and family. Unfortunately, this is what Islam teaches, Muslims are required to believe in the Quran but also the Hadith (the Sunnah of the “prophet”), Tafsir and Sira.
Just to get a little insight as to the horrific teachings of Islam we should look at how Muhammad conducted himself. As Islam is founded upon him. Here are some of Muhammad’s teachings from Islamic sources.
There’s no peace in Islam because they (Muslims) don’t have the Prince of Peace the Lord Jesus Christ (Isaiah 9:6). In addressing the disciples before His crucifixion the Lord Jesus told them He would give them peace.
Because Islam is without Jesus Christ they (Muslims) will never know peace until they come to Jesus Christ for salvation. As Christians we pray for all men that they would come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and in this crazy time prayers go out to Mufti Abu Layth. May this be a huge awakening that he needs to leave the dark religion of Islam and embrace the Light of Jesus Christ for eternal life, as Christ is the Light of the world.

Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was not crucified according to the Quran, we read in Surah 4:157 which says:
Muslims claim that Allah didn’t allow Jesus to be crucified but saved him before he was crucified and made someone else look like Jesus and that person was crucified instead. This raises serious questions, (1) according to the Tafsir (commentaries) we have different opinions about what happened.
al-Jalalayn: And for their saying boastfully ‘We slew the Messiah Jesus son of Mary the Messenger of God’ as they claim in other words for all of these reasons We have punished them. God exalted be He says in repudiating their claim to have killed him And yet they did not slay him nor did they crucify him but he the one slain and crucified who was an associate of theirs the Jews was given the resemblance of Jesus.
Here we have al-Jalalayn claiming the Jews said “We slew the Messiah” how can this be when the Jews in the time of Jesus until today don’t believe Jesus is the Messiah yet they are calling him the Messiah? He also says they didn’t crucify him but another person was crucified who was an associate. If Allah allowed an innocent person to die this would make Allah unjust and a murderer, in addition Allah was also a deceiver as he made another person to resemble Jesus and that person was killed. This makes Allah a liar.
Ibn ‘Abbâs: (And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger) Allah destroyed their man Tatianos. (They slew him not nor crucified, but it appeared so unto them) Allah made Tatianos look like Jesus and so they killed him instead of him; (and lo! those who disagree concerning it) concerning his killing (are in doubt thereof) in doubt about his killing; (they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture) not even conjecture; (they slew him not for certain) i.e. certainly they did not kill him,
Here we have Ibn ‘Abbâs saying the Quran says they killed the Messiah, he even goes as far to name the individual who was killed a follower of Jesus called Tatianos. There’s no one in the Bible who goes by this name so where are they getting this information from? This once again brings Allah’s morals into question as an innocent man named Tatianos was killed and not Jesus, thereby, Allah deceived people into believing something false in which he would have created Christianity because we believe Jesus Christ was crucified.
Al Qushairi: It is said that God caused the one who slandered [Jesus] to resemble him and he was killed and crucified in his place. … It is [also] said that Jesus said “Whoever agrees to have my resemblance cast upon him so that he is killed in place of me will have the garden” and one of his companions agreed.
Here we have a blasphemous statement, the commentator Al Qushairi comments that “God” made someone who slandered Jesus to be killed, but also that Jesus said whoever has this done to him will have the garden? One can come to the conclusion the “garden” means paradise. So not only did was this man killed because he slandered Jesus which would be a sin, also is given paradise because he was killed in the place of Jesus? So Allah rewards people for committing sin according to this tafsir.
Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi: This verse is explicit on the point that the Prophet Jesus Christ was rescued from crucifixion and that the Christians and the Jews are both wrong in believing that he died on the cross. A comparative study of the Qur’an and the Bible shows that most probably it was Jesus himself who stood his trial in the court of Pilate, who sentenced him to death, but they could not kill or crucify him, for Allah raised him to Himself. … “Those who have differed”: the Christians. They do not agree in their versions of crucifixion. The very fact that they offer so many different accounts of the matter is by itself a proof that they possess no definite knowledge of it and are, therefore, in doubt about it. One version is that the person who was crucified was not Jesus but someone who bore his likeness, whom the Jews and the Romans had disgracefully put on the cross, while Jesus was standing nearby and laughing at their folly. Another version is that the one who was nailed to the cross was Jesus, but he did not die on the cross and was alive when he was taken down from it. Some others say that he died on the cross but came to life afterwards and met his disciples more than ten times and talked to them. Still others say that death due to crucifixion occurred on the physical body of Jesus and he was buried but the Divine Spirit within him was raised. There are still others who say that after his death Jesus came to life with his body and was raised with his body. Obviously, if the Christians had any knowledge of the truth, they would not have given so many different versions of it.
Here we have Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi claiming that Jews and Christians don’t agree about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Both Jews and Christians affirm that Jesus was crucified. All Christians believe Jesus Christ was the one on the cross, he died and was buried in a sepulchre and rose from the dead physically in the same body after 3 days.
Shabir Ally: You will notice in some of my recent interfaith dialogues that I have suggested the scenario in which Jesus was taken down alive from the cross and assumed into heaven from the tomb–a scenario which my dialogue participants seem hard-pressed to deconstruct.
Muslims even try to claim that Jesus was taken down from the cross alive, this is called the swoon theory, they make a huge mistake in claiming this. They forget that Jesus was suffered a enormous scourging.
Mark 10:33-34 [Saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
The Romans also plunged a spear into His side and blood and water came out. This is recorded in the book of John.
John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
The Jews agree that Jesus was crucified on the Jews for Judaism site we read “How would the Jewish authorities have treated Jesus’ corpse?” They said in response to this question “To bury the body of a crucified individual (or anyone else) was a matter of obeying God’s commandments. Joseph of Arimathaea (or whatever his name) was probably the Sanhedrin burial agent whose task it was to take care of the crucified once they had died. The approach of the Sabbath and the concern that a corpse not be left hanging after sunset (Deuteronomy 21:23) added to Joseph’s concern to get the body of Jesus (and the 5 two victims) buried before sunset. Perhaps there was a Roman concession to local religious custom concerning a corpse hanging overnight, especially at the onset of the Sabbath or a festival. Joseph complied with the Torah’s requirement even though he may have had no personal reason to honor the crucified individual. One may assume that if it is true that two other individuals were crucified along with Jesus and died that same day that Joseph also asked for their bodies and buried them as well.”
The Jews don’t deny that Christ was crucified, they believe he was killed; they only reject Jesus as their Messiah. Therefore, going back to out definition of conjecture which means according to the definition “inference formed without proof or sufficient evidence”. The Muslims are the ones who are confused (conjecture) as to if Jesus was crucified, who was the one killed was it Tatianos or someone else, and why would the Jews call Jesus the Messiah when they clearly teach otherwise? This proves the Quran is a false book.
Lastly, we have surmounting evidence outside of the Biblical narrative confirming the crucifixion of Christ for those who are not sympathetic to the Christian faith. Those would include:
Quotes proving the crucifixion of Jesus as historical fact
(1) Tacitus (Jewish historian) written c.116 C.E The founder of this name, Christ had been executed in the reign of Tiberius by the procurator Pontius Pilate. (2) Gerd Ludemann (atheist) Jesus’ death as a consequence of crucifixion is indisputable. (3) Marcus Borg The most certain fact about the historical Jesus is his execution as a political rebel. (4) Pinchas Lapide (a Jewish scholar) Jesus’ death by crucifixion is “historically certain.” (5) Paula Fredriksen (another Jew) The single most solid fact about Jesus’ life is his death: he was executed by the Roman prefect Pilate, on or around Passover, in the manner Rome reserved for political insurrections, namely crucifixion.
The biggest one is by the Muslims favorite New Testament scholar who they like to use his material in attacking the Bible, Bart Erhman on the crucifixion of Jesus says:
Muslim argument: The Injeel, Torah and Jabur are indeed sent by god. Unfortunately they have been corrupted. Jesus is God’s Son as the Christians believe. But how come you pray to Jesus when you’re the ones that claim Jesus to be God’s Son? God is totally overshadowed by Jesus. Jesus this, Jesus that. What role does God play in Christianity? Bible was a Hebrew book and all you came up with a Greek version of it. And Jesus is said to have died for your sins. So, you mean to tell me God killed his Son for the sins you committed? Why and how the killing of Jesus resolved you of your sins? And why was he sent to earth in the first place?
Response:“they have been corrupted” If the Bible is “corrupted” as Muslims claim why does the Quran direct Muslims to ask “the people of the book (Jews and Christians)” in Surah 10:94. How can Allah direct people to another group (Jews and Christians) to ask for guidance if the book they believe in is corrupted? That makes no sense! In saying the Bible is corrupted Muslims are attacking their Quran because the Torah and Injeel (Gospel) is “Allah’s words” according to the Quran.
And Allah says no one is able to “change” or “alter” his words (Surah 6:34; 6:115; 10:64). Therefore, we must come to the conclusion either the Quran is correct in saying the Bible cannot be corrupted which means Islam is false because it contradicts the Christian faith, or the Quran is wrong and the Bible was corrupted which means Islam is false because Muslims believe in a book which wrong.
“how come you pray to Jesus” Let’s look at this from a logical standpoint every individual has parents. For example a father and son. A father and son are the same in regards to nature? The son is just as much human as the father is human? Christian’s don’t believe Jesus Christ was born the same way we humans are, and we don’t believe Jesus was created because He’s eternal. We pray to Jesus because (1) Jesus is God and deserves our worship (Revelation 5:12). (2) He told us to ask Him anything in His name to pray in His name (John 14:13; 14:14; John 15:16; John 16:23-24; John 16:26). Prayer is communication, therefore, if we claim to have a relationship with Christ why wouldn’t we pray to Him? If you love someone then you will be willing to communicate with them. But a more direct response is we pray to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
“Bible was a Hebrew book and all you came up with a Greek version of it” This statement proves the lack of understanding of how the Bible was composed. The New Testament is not a “Greek version” of the Old Testament which is written in Hebrew. Both the Old and New Testament agree to who God is as He revealed Himself in the Person of Jesus Christ. The Quran comes a lot later and then contradicts the Bible.
“And Jesus is said to have died for your sins. So, you mean to tell me God killed his Son for the sins you committed? Why and how the killing of Jesus resolved you of your sins?” Yes, Jesus died for my sins and the sins of the world (1 Corinthians 15:3; Galatians 1:4; 1 John 2:2). God sent His Son into the world (John 3:17; Galatians 4:4; 1 John 4:9) but God didn’t kill His Son, it was wicked men who put Christ on the cross (Matthew 17:22-23; Mark 9:31; Luke 9:44; Acts 2:22-24). The Lord Jesus was the perfect atonement for the sins of the world (Hebrews 9:13-14; Hebrews 10:1-4) just as we see in the Old Testament how God commanded the children of Israel to sacrifice animals for the sins of the nation of Israel as a temporary atonement for sins found in the book of Leviticus.
Muslim argument: That would mean since Jesus is God’s Son. So he is as much God as his Father is? Okay, understood. But God is totally overlooked in Christianity. Jesus is worshipped instead of God. I mean, did God retire? Is it monarchy? Let’s just say Jesus is God for argument’s sake. If he was indeed God then why didn’t he just forgive all of humanity without having Himself killed. And if it was indeed God’s plan to forgive humanity by killing off his Son, then were the killers of Jesus good people since they helped God in executing his plan?
Response:“So he is as much God as his Father is? Okay, understood. But God is totally overlooked in Christianity. Jesus is worshipped instead of God.” Christians worship God the Father, God the Son, and God the Hols Spirit. We believe in 1 God and only 1 God. The Bible says there’s only 1 God (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 44:8). If we as humans are just as much human as our father then Jesus Christ being the Son of God is just as much God as the Father is God. In the Bible we see a distinction between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit yet all 3 are called God.
And because Jesus is just as much God as His Father that would make Jesus God because He shares the same essence as the Father.
In Genesis 19 Abraham is visited by 3 men, 2 of them turn out to be angels which are sent to Sodom and Gomorrah. The 1 man who stays behind turns out to be God and He tells Abraham that Sarah his wife will have a son. Sarah was barren she was not able to bare children and laughed. The man then said “is there anything to hard for the LORD?” Later Sarah gives birth to Isaac.Later in the chapter it says that when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because it was a place of evil. The verse says the LORD rained down fire from the LORD in heaven.
Here we have 2 persons called LORD, 1 on the earth who is before Abraham, and 1 in heaven.
“If he was indeed god then why didn’t he just forgive all of humanity without having himself killed.” If Muslims are familiar with the Torah, we see that God commanded Israel to build an altar in order to do sacrifices. The reason why they had to do this was for the atonement of sin. It was a temporary atonement for sins, so they sacrificed animals in the temple for this reason. The issue is that as humans we are more valuable than animals because we are made in God’s image, animals are not. Therefore, the blood of animals couldn’t atone for anyone’s sins. In the OT it says a life for a life etc. Meaning if a man killed another man, he could be punished by his life being taken away. Life for life.
This is why there’s an issue animals do not have the same value as a human, so the blood of that animal cannot atone for sin. God’s purpose in telling Israel to do it was a constant reminder of their sins so that when the Perfect Man Jesus Christ came who is also God He would be the perfect sacrifice. He (Jesus) had the value beyond measure because He is without any sin, and because He’s God His blood would be powerful enough to atone for the sins of the entire world.
Also, the reason why God cannot forgive you without the death of Jesus is because if He did that would make God unjust. He must serve justice and destroy all evil in the end, therefore, God made a way out of the judgement by sending His Son to be a propitiation for the whole world (1 John 2:2).
Muslim argument: God is one. Yet you mentioned God the holy father, God the son and God the holy spirit. Who is bigger God here?What are the functions assigned to these three gods? The whole analogy is vague and invalid. God doesn’t have to answer to anyone for his actions. But He has to kill his Son because He is just?!That would mean killing an innocent for the actions of the criminals which I reckon are us. Also, if our sins are indeed forgiven then we don’t need Jesus or God for that matter.We are innocent and therefore we’ll take our seats in heaven after our death. God is just so He killed an innocent and spared the lives of the culprits!
Response:“You said God is one. Yet you mentioned God the holy father, God the son and God the holy spirit. Who is bigger God here? What are the functions assigned to these three gods?” There’s no such thing as a “bigger God” all 3 Persons are the 1 God, they are co-equal. Christians do not believe in 3 separate gods. We believe in 1 God.
“What are the functions assigned to these three gods?” The Father is in heaven, the Son comes into the word to redeem mankind, the Holy Spirit indwells believers thereby placing them in Christ making them spiritually alive (born again).
“But He has to kill his son because He is just?!!!!! That would mean killing an innocent for the actions of the criminals which I reckon are us.” God didn’t kill Jesus Christ, the Romans killed Him, but Jesus gave His life willingly Jesus said:
Jesus Christ was innocent and He gave His life for guilty sinners. Those who are saved willingly received the free gift of eternal life that we don’t deserve and cannot earn. If someone offers a gift it’s accepted freely you don’t have to pay for it. There’s no forgiveness of you sins without the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. When a criminal commits a crime do you not agree that justice must be served?
The book of Isaiah written 740 BC speaks about the death of Jesus saying:
“We are innocent and therefore we’ll take our seats in heaven after our death.” No one is innocent, a lie, anger, using God’s name in vain, lust, these are all sins, therefore 1 sin is enough for a person to end up in hell for all eternity.
Muslim argument:Why didn’t God save his Son when wicked men kill him? And God could have pardoned all of humanity without the death of Jesus since He has no one to answer to. So, a bigger God divided into three different entities just to take up different roles? Jesus died for our sins but we are not forgiven! Then what He died for? Bible is the God sent scripture which tells us about Jesus. Without that we have no connection to him whatsoever. What did He do for me? He didn’t wipe out my sins. He didn’t wipe out the sins of our ancestors who lived during his time since it would mean helping the sinners and blasphemous people. Then why He died for? Do you see the irony?
Response:“Why didn’t God save his Son when wicked men kill him?” That would be called universalism and Islam teaches only Muslims will enter Jannah, therefore, to say why can’t God just forgive everyone goes against the what Islam teaches. Because God decided since eternity past that the Son of God would come into the world to redeem mankind (Revelation 13:8). It was God’s provision in sending the Lord Jesus Christ to be the Saviour of the world (John 4:42; 1 John 4:14).
“God could have pardoned all of humanity without the death of Jesus” No. Because if God arbitrarily forgave people that would make God unjust, God cannot do anything against His own character, He’s Holy, Righteous and Just. God must punish all sin and, therefore, He cannot turn a blind eye to sin (Isaiah 59:18; Romans 2:3-6; Revelation 22:12).
“a bigger God divided into three different entities” Here’s a straw-man argument, Christians do not believe God is “divided into three entities”. We believe God is 1 in Being and within that 1 being there are 3 Persons, God is complex in His unity from the beginning in Genesis we have a plurality when God says “Let us make”, “Let us go down there” (Genesis 1:26; Genesis 11:7). In the NT we have Jesus Christ forgiving sins (Mark 2:7; Luke 5:21), and we have scriptures which has all 3 Persons present at the same time (Matthew 3:16-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22).
“Jesus died for our sins but we are not forgiven! Then what He died for?” We’re told in the Bible that Christ died for our sins to save us from the wrath of God. This is easily explained by apostle Paul in Corinthians.
Muslim argument:If someone commits the crime then that “someone” should be punished. The judge will not sentence the best man because his blood will purify him, in this case that is whole of the humanity. How is this even justice? Would it be justice if my brother says okay I will go hang for my brother because I love him very much? And will the judge punish an innocent man for the crime of another even though He wanted to face the sentence in exchange for the freedom for their loved ones?
Response:“if someone commits the crime then that “someone” should be punished.” Exactly! Someone has to be punished, God must dish out justice against all evil. What Muslims don’t understand is that Jesus Christ took the punishment we deserve upon Himself. Isaiah chapter 53 explains this. God can forgive the sinner on the righteous basis of what Christ has done and remain just and righteous because He sacrificed Himself and removed the wrath of God from those who place their trust in the real Jesus Christ who is God.
For example, picture the wrath of God as a truck speeding down a road. And someone was crossing the street but didn’t see the truck coming. A stranger runs and pushes them out of the way saving their life but instead he got hit by the truck. That’s what Jesus Christ did on the cross. He took the wrath of God on Himself, so that we didn’t have to be condemned.
As long as Muslims reject the Son of God, they can’t be saved because they’re rejecting God’s provision in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins.
“And will the judge punish an innocent man for the crime of another even though he wanted to face the sentence in exchange for the freedom for their loved ones?” That’s exactly what happened! A family member who would risk even give their own life for those they love. That’s a picture of the amazing love of Christ, that He would sacrifice Himself for guilty sinners. What amazing love that the Father has bestowed upon those who would come into the Light of the Lord Jesus Christ!
