Asalamu Alaikum.
I prepared this over a year ago and would like to presentit to anyone inshallah
Bismillahi ar-Rahmani ar-Raheem
All Praise is do to Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah alone who has no partners in his dominion, who have no share in the Godly attributes that Allah has, and I also bear witness that Muhammad is his final prophet and messenger. To proceed.
This is a small treatise that explains some of the fundamental beliefs of what is called modern day Christianity. This work also explains the resultant effects of the doctrine of Christianity. Although this work is compiled for two main groups of the world, Christians and Muslims, the first of which this work would be a benefit to them for reanalyzing and actually putting reason and logic into perspective while reading the biblical texts, and the latter people for reference purposes, this work will give a greater insight to the student of knowledge or history of the actual events and certain ideologies that where propagated after the rising of Jesus (Isa as). I, inshallah, am performing this work sincerely for the sake of Allah(swt) that this work may benefit the Muslims and that this can call the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) to the pure deen (religion)of Abraham(as) the upright.
The following is number of arguments that some of which contradict reason and logic, some which contradict the religion of Abraham(as), and some which contradicts what was actually said or what happened.
A} Biblical prophecies pertaining to the advent of Muhammad.
1. The Old Testament Prophecy. If you would like to see look in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18:18 it says “ I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I (God) command him”. If you examine this prophecy closer you will see that God is telling them ( the jews) that he will raise(send) a prophet from among their brethren( meaning from the descendants of Ishmael). The Christians claim this prophet to be Jesus. This claim will be refuted in more than one way. First, the prophecy says “I will raise up for them a prophet like you( meaning Moses(as)”. Jesus is not like Moses because one Jesus, according to the Christians is not a mere prophet but they say he is God(authubillah). Secondly, Moses was a lawgiver and Jesus was not a lawgiver, but Muhammad was a law giver. Jesus only came to strengthen or revive the law of Moses which will be discussed later inshallah( if Allah wills) Thirdly, God said according to the bible, “from among their (meaning the Israelites) brethren. The only brothers that the Israelite tribe in turns of lineage was none other than Ishmael, the first born son of Abraham, the brother if Israel himself. The lineage of the noble prophet Muhammad derived from Ishmael himself as is authentically reported by the messenger of Allah and through historical evidence since the Arabs were strong in the memory of poems and tribal lineage in that day in time.
2. In Isaiah 29:12 the verse reads as “And the book is delivered to one who is illiterate, saying read this please, and he says I’am not literate”. This is a powerful proof that Muhammad is the one who fits the description narrated above.
This is part of a narration from the mother of the believers Aisha (ra). “suddenly, the Truth descended upon him (Muhammad)while he was in the cave of Hira. The Angel came to him and asked him to read ( just like the verse in the bible). The prophet (saw) replied, “I don’t know how to read” (just as the verse above says). The biblical verse is in reference to the fact about the Jews and their lack of faith and it (the verse) is part of a poetic series of events that was happening to mankind in that day in time so according to the bible Allah has sent a message to them (the Jews) that the message will be taken from them and placed to someone not from them who is illiterate.
Also if you read in Isaiah 42:1-4 God (if it’s true) is talking about his ultimate messenger and his characteristics. It would be errorenous to believe that this was Jesus because we all know (Muslims and Christians alike) that Jesus did not bring a new law, but to fulfill the old law. This means that God did not send him with a law. At the end of verse 4 it says “Till he has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands shall wait for HIS LAW. This verse clearly states that
he will bring his law which in essence is Allah’s law. This cannot be Jesus since we know that Jesus did not bring a law and the only one on the face of the earth that brought the Law of God on earth was none other than the messenger Muhammad (saw).
3. The Prophecy in the New Testament.
This is the strongest prophecy concerning Muhammad in the new testament and possibly the bible itself. This prophecy is even more in depth than in the old testament since it would be reasonable since the time was getting closer for the advent of this great and noble messenger. We will examine this prophecy carefully. If you read in the book of John chapter 16:7 it says “Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. Let’s take a look at what was said. If you look at the verse from a reasonable perspective you will see that the prophecy is conditional. Anyone in there right mind would have to agree with me that if Jesus does not depart from his disciples then this helper(counselor) will not come. So you see that the situation is conditional. Jesus says according to the bible, if I do not depart then he (the helper) will not come. Let’s go a little further with this. The word helper in the actual (original) Greek texts is called Paracletos. This word literally translated means “the praised one” or “one who is praised. For some strange reason it is apparent that the Christian scholars and translators deliberately mistranslated the Greek word Paracletos to mean the helper, the counselor, or even worse the holy spirit. The reason why this is a very bad and really an evil deed is because in a critical topic like this it is very important that when translating, you must present the clear or if not, the closest or most precise translation because in choosing a word to describe a word in another language and the meaning may be slightly off then in such a critical subject like this then the word that was used to translate another word can mean a world of a difference. These people who are scholars and translators should know this or if not then they are not fit to be in their own positions.
B} The contradictions between the biblical texts and the doctrine taught by Christianity
Below is a list of incidents compared with what is taught in the church and what is in the texts and one will see a world of a difference between the two starting from the old then the new testament
The doctrine of original sin is a part of the tenants of faith in Christianity. The meaning is this. In the beginning when Allah (God) created Adam and Eve they were told to not eat of the tree (meaning the forbidden tree). So we all know that they ate of it. Now what the Christians say is phenomenal regarding this issue. They say that since They ate of the tree that means that Everyone in the whole world is upon sin and that they are destined to the hellfire and that the only way to stop this is to accept “the Lord Jesus Christ as your “saviour” This is the doctrine of Original Sin
To find a refutation of this will not be hard at all. One will find it in none else but in the bible itself.
In the book of Ezekiel chapter 18 verse 20 it says “The soul that sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father nor the father shall bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself”. This verse means exactly what it says. This is the law of God and in Islam (and there is no distinction between the two). We will not be asked why did your forefathers take of the tree nor will they be asked why did your offspring come out to millions of Buddhist or hindu idol worshipers or millions in these countries of America and Israel killing my slaves in the east. No this is wrong rather everyone will be asked of what they have brought forth.
2. The Trinity
In the book of Mathew 7:21-22 one will read the following
“Not everyone who says to me “Lord, Lord” shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven” “Many will say to me on that day “Lord, Lord” have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name cast out devils, and in thy name we did many wonders” “ And them I will declare to them “I never knew you: Depart from me( baraa), you who practice lawlessness (bida, innovation).
I must make one point here. In Islaam it is a fundamental that the Muslims call on God or call God with names that he has sanctioned himself with or that which His last and final messenger Muhammad (saw) called him with. So we reject that we can call Him (God) as Father or Father in heaven. As for Jesus calling God by this name then it maybe for two reasons. First, is that It could have been allowed for Jesus to call him by this name in that time and Allah (God) knows best, OR, ( and this might be better for the Muslim to accept) those who have written the texts of the bible wished for this name to be used to strengthen their teachings upon the masses. A third point on this is that this word “father” is or was used for emphasis to describe one in authority like God. Unfortunately, this expression that was understood by all the eastern semitic and phonecian languages to mean exactly this was understood in an improper way or intended to mean what the present day Christian world believe in as God the “father” and through this understanding, developed the anthropomorphic concept of God that He the Almighty begets.
Now to analyze what was quoted. One notices that Jesus (as) said was that the only ones in the kingdom of heaven was the ones who does the will of the Father (God). Then it says on that day (day of judgement) “They” will say Lord, Lord Did we not do all these things in your name. Anyone with sound reason and knowledge of the reality can figure out from the quotes that the only people on the face of the earth that does things in the name of Jesus is none other than yes…we all know…the Christians. They are the only group on the face of the earth that does these things and more in the name of Jesus. So His reply to these people in what it says in the bible is like his reply in which Allah (God) has said Himself in the Quran that Jesus will disassociate himself from these people.
This resembles what will happen on that day when the prophet Muhammad (saw) would try to intercede for them (meaning the muslims who innovated in the legislation) on the day of judgement and it will be said to him “You do not know what they have invented after you” This is what I can remember from the wording of the hadith (narration, tradition, actions, or sanctions from the noble prophet Muhammad (saw). Then he (Jesus) said “you who practice lawlessness”. This means that they have innovated in what he brought from the message. What was the innovation. There innovation may not be (and Allah knows best) is not that they call him lord, since in those times they used this term for a great form of respect and that even rabbis and priest were called by this (even though now the Christians, when they read these texts, they perceive it to mean something divine), but the innovation was that they do everything in his name and this is shirk (polytheism). Jesus would not utter such a falsehood to the people. There is not a text in the bible where Jesus says “to do everything in my name” or “I’m the Lord your God” wan audhu billah from such statements.
There is a verse in Mathew 19:16-17. In it we read “Now behold, one came and said to him “Good Teacher” what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?
Jesus response as you will see is in a refutational like manner in which he replies back by saying “Why do you call me good. There is only one who is good and that is God” Subhanallah. This statement refutes the basic doctrine of Christianity from two angles. The first is from a logical standpoint and that is if Jesus disclaims himself to be good and that the only one in the whole universe who is deserving of this title is God then by common sense this should tell you that he, Jesus, is not God. The second follows from the first and that is if Jesus disclaims himself to be God then that means that the doctrine of trinity was brought up by someone other than him and that this is a false belief.
C. In Mark 13:32 it says “ But of that Day and Hour(meaning the day of resurrection) no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son (Jesus), but only the Father. Look at this devastating statement against the ones who claim to follow Jesus.
I must clarify the doctrine of trinity before I move on. The trinity is a belief that was invented after the birth and rising of Jesus (as) and what it is is that God, the holy Virgin Mary, and Jesus are one. (note that when Allah revealed about the trinity He used these three since this was what was being taught at that time before it was change to the holy spirit. Now in modern times it is not the Virgin May that is in the Godhead(only in catholocism) but the holy spririt). This, if one were to believe in this doctrine, means that God, Mary or Holy Spirit, and Jesus are one , equal, and coexistent which means that nothing is hidden from the other. If Mary knows then Jesus and God know. If God knows then Jesus and the holy sprit or Mary knows. This is the meaning of coexistence. So if it is proved by evidence that one that is coexistent with two more knows something that the other two don’t then guess what. The claim is nullified and rendered false. Anyone with reason and intellect can see this. And we know as Muslims and Christians that Allah (God) is knowledge of all things. This means that nothing is hidden from Allah and that there is not anything that exists except that it is in His knowledge. So if The Christians claim that Jesus is “God” then they are claiming or ascribing ignorance to God. If Jesus is God then it is in his knowledge to know when the hour will come, but your scripture says other wise. So two scenarios can be summarized by what this and that is one, if the Christian is right in their claim of Jesus being God then that means that there biblical texts has lied to them which means (in their eyes God has lied to them). Second is that if they are not right in their claim and what the bible says is true then that means that their doctrine of trinity which is what they waged war for and try so hard to teach the people of it is false. So the Christian finds him/her self at a lost from both angles.
D. In John 5:30 Jesus says to the people “I can of myself do NOTHING. As I hear, I judge; and my judgement is righteous, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me”.
This is plenty and satisfactory evidence that Jesus clearly disowns himself from having any type of divinity and that he and Allah are different and not the same. Notice how he says that he does not seek his will but the will of Allah. The triune God does not have multiple wills since this will render the triune essence as false. Jesus also says in the texts that he can do nothing. Can anyone seriously believe a God who can do nothing (if Jesus is God). No. So this means again that either their claim is correct and the bible false or the bible correct and the claim ( the doctrine) false.
E. If the Christian uses as evidence for him/her about the verse in John 10:30 “I and my Father are one” then the best advice is that you read from the same book and chapter and start from verse 23. This will show you the whole context of what was going on between him and the disbelieving jews. The Christian pulled it (the verse) out of context. If you read carefully then you would notice ( if this event did happen and Allah knows best) that he merely pointed out that he and Allah were united as one for one purpose and that was to guide mankind. This is like saying Muhammad and Jesus were one. And Muhammad and Noah or Abraham were one. They were one upon on creed and way and that was to guide mankind from the abominations and evils of shaytaan (the devil). This does not mean that Muhammad and the rest of the prophets were one in the same literally.
F. A proof that the Christian world uses to prove the divinity of Jesus as God they use the passages throughout the new testament that state titles like “son of man”. There is no proof in the bible whatsoever where Jesus (the words of the supposedly words of Jesus are in red in some bibles) said to the people and refered to himself as God. There are passages where he states (according to the writing of the later day generations e.g. the canonical first four books) son of man. So as for this proof then here is a response in reply by what the Christians deem to be also the word of God.
“God is not a man, nor is he the son of man” (Numbers 23:19)
I need no further statements to clarify this as the very texts itself is self explanatory to even the children.
C} Prophethood and the Law of Old
1. I must start out with the true mission defined in the bible of Jesus.
In Mathew 5:17-18 Jesus states “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law until all is fulfilled”. He came to fulfill the old law. Why. It is because the Pharisees changed the word of Allah by meaning and action as it is stated in the Quran. These Pharisees issued false rulings and beliefs from their book and interpreted the revelation in a way other than its true meanings and they knew the true meanings. This made this evil much heavier upon them. This is why the tension between Jesus and the Pharisees was so great.
2. As far as prophethood is concerned then there are reports that say Jesus is a prophet and He himself says this.
On the road to Emmaus look in Luke 24:13. Also in Luke 24:19, Mathew 13:57, John 8:40, John 6:14 and from his own mouth in Luke 13:33, Luke 7:26-27, and Mathew 21:11
D} Noninspirational, Contradictions, and Absurdness in religion from the biblical texts.
a. Noninspirational.
1. The Christian loves to quote from John chapter 1 verses 1 and 2. I must point out for the student if history that John received this formula of a statement from a geek philosopher named Philo. Philo has lived on earth decades before John and Jesus. John has used this statement to fit in his gospel if he really did write it.
2. The second evidence I wish to bring forth for the people is in 2 Timothy 3:16. It says that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, or for instructions unto righteousness”. This verse explains a criterion for everyone to use to evaluate weather any form of scripture is from God. Now we are going to use this verse as a criterion and apply it to some of the texts of the bible, but first I must clarify what these four rules means.
The first one is doctrine and this means that all scripture is for teachings and rulings to benefit the people and to build the creed or firm creed in the hearts of men. The second one is reproof and this means that a certain scripture is for a refutation or like an admonition, or a rebuke. For example, God may have revealed something to a prophet about a city and the actual message is a warning and if they(the people of that city) don’t listen then God will destroy them. This is what a reproof is. Then comes correction which means for example, If a certain people did something wrong then God corrected him or them. Then comes instructions unto righteousness which is like scripture to purify the heart and to increase in imaan (faith) and good character.
Now I can move on with some of the biblical texts that fit outside of these four categories in which scripture has a use in this life according to the bible.
If you look in the book of Judges 16:1 you will read “Now Sampson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went into her”. If you read further you will notice that there is no admonition anywhere for what Sampson did. This excludes the second and third proofs of reproof and correction. So now lets see if this verse is used for doctrine. Can the actual act of doing this can be taught as being religious or to teach people their beliefs. NO. So this excludes the first proof for doctrine. Does this act increase someone in faith. Can it purify his heart. We all know the answer to this. NO. So this excludes the forth reason which is instructions unto righteousness. So now I ask where does this verse fit in the so called book of God. It doesn’t. So now the question is that is it truly the book of God?
3. Also in Genesis 38:15-19 you will read that Judah the father of the largest tribe of Israel saw a harlot on the street and he did not know it was his daughter in law
So the story goes on as a ***** story and his daughter in law conceived from that event. There is no proof where there is a correction or a reproof, or that this act was an instruction unto righteousness, or for doctrinal purposes. I’m asking now where does this story fit in the so called word of God.
b. Absurdness in religion.
1. I will display a couple passages from the biblical texts. In Numbers 31:17. It is stated that Moses (as) gave the command which is “Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately.
The next verse states “But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately.
Now I say that in that day in time how on earth can anyone determine any woman to be a virgin or not. Remember that this is in a time of war for the Israelite warriors. We all know that the only way a man can know if a woman was a virgin or not is to actually sexual relations. Can you o Muslim believe this order to come from the noble prophet Musa (Moses (as). If you read further along the narrative you will find that it says in verse 40 that 16000 persons (meaning the only ones alive who were the raped woman) and 32 of those raped woman where for the Lord (God). I’m asking how would anyone sacrifice 32 raped woman to God himself. This is barbaric and unacceptable in the true monotheism (Islam) of God.
2. In 1 Samuel 18:27 we read that prophet David (as) killed two hundred men from the philistines and took their forskin (meaning the skin over the genitals) and used this as currency to buy a wife for himself from the king Saul.
These are just a few of much of the absurdness in the biblical texts and I must note I do not mock for mere amusement or to make people feel bad or to degrade them (the people). This is done so that people may reflect on the reality of their own beliefs and to make the last message of the Lord of the worlds which has no falsehood in it, known to the people.
C. Contradictions
In the Quran it is stated by Allah to the disbelievers “Have you not reflected over it (the book, Quran), and see that if it was brought by other than Allah then you would have found many contradictions in it.
I will apply this beautiful criterion for determination. This criterion should be used for any book that claims to be from God.
Of the many contradictions that are contained throughout the bible I will list only a few of them.
1. In John 18:9 Jesus says “Of those you gave me I have lost none”. Compare this to what is said in the same book in chapter 17:12 while talking about the same thing it says “While I was in the world I kept them in Your name; Those whom you gave me I have kept; And none of them is lost EXCEPT (meaning with the exception of one) the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.
As you see in one narrative Jesus says that none was lost and in another narrative one is lost. Can someone explain? This is not criticism against Jesus (as), but of those who have claimed that the scripture is an inspiration from Allah (God). This is one of the weak contradictions and I will provide even more proofs in which is not easily explained AT ALL.
2. In Exodus 33:23 it says at the end of the verse “My face shall not be seen”. This is in reference to the prophet Moses (as) seeing Allah. Now if you look in the same chapter in verse 11 it says that the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. The verse is an explanation of itself. How did the Lord speak to Moses face to face. The explanation is as a man speaks to his friend. Does anyone of us speak to our friends through a veil. I believe not. This verse clearly states that Moses saw the face of God by the way it has explained itself. This is clear contradiction from the first verse that I posed.
3. In Mark 10:27 you read that Jesus said “With men, it is impossible, but not with God; For with God all things are possible. We must agree as Muslims that with Allah all things are possible. Now what we cannot agree upon is that in Judges 1:19 it says “And the LORD was with Judah (meaning Allah, God). And they drove out the mountaineers, BUT THEY (meaning Allah and Judah) COULD NOT drive out the inhabitants of the lowlands, because they had chariots of iron”. This verse clearly shows the unpowerfullness of God or that he is incapable. While the first verse indeed testifies of Gods ultimate powers. So which one should we take and reject? If the Christian rejects the second verse then in reality he/she is rejecting what they claim to be the word of God which means that this in of itself is disbelief.
4. In Hebrew 4:15 it states that Jesus was tempted in everyway just as we are yet without sin. Now compare this with James 1:13 which states that the true God cannot be tempted. This is a contradiction from the text to doctrine in Christianity. These are just some of the contradictions amongst others that are rampant throughout the bible.
This is just a critical analysis of the fundamental beliefs of the doctrine of Christianity and the book that is suppose to support them, which in reality is also a proof against them. The reason why for this analysis is for the main reason which is the belief in the trinity and the misconception that the Muslims are polytheist or that they worship Muhammad (saw)
Oh Muslims and Christians. The reason for the misguided beliefs is do to one reason. The methodology of innovation. I shall explain. In Islam, innovation is a misguidance for many reasons amongst which is the fact that the one who innovates is in reality saying that they are not pleased with what God (Allah) has given them of guidance so they add other beliefs in the religion. Or that the innovator believes that Allah did not provide sufficient guidance for our times (modern). Or that the innovator is so evil that he wishes to change the legislation of Allah and to misguide the people. In Islam innovation is worse than sin and the second less to polytheism, because the one who does sin knows that they have done wrong. So the door for repentance is open, but when they practice innovation then they believe that they are doing the right thing hence they never repent. The main reason for innovation is so the adherent of it (innovation) can get closer to Allah. This is why it is misguidance since they (the people of innovated beliefs) believe that whatever practice they are doing is correct.
The chief innovator and the true father of what is Trinitarian Christianity is none other than Paul (Saul) of Tarsus. One reason why the sending of Muhammad (saw) to mankind was first and foremost the will and decree of Allah (God) swt. Then it is also because of the greatest misguidance that the world has ever witnessed in the guise of the truth from this individual named Paul. Paul was not even in the scene when Jesus was around. It is said about this man that he was an advocate against the true followers of Christ. Then in a vision Paul has seen Jesus and was told what to do and propagate the belief in shirk (polytheism) in the guise of monotheism and the message of Jesus. In Islam, once the soul has departed from the body, but in Jesus case he was raised, then they are in what is called al-Barsakh or the grave by which the servant in the grave is being blessed with wonders and in happiness and the one of evil is tormented.
To the heavens by the decree of Allah, then the soul is in the grave with the body once it is buried and it starts the beginning stage of the next life. This leaves no room for the belief that spirits of the dead visit the people or protect them since this would leave the door open for the people to believe that something other than Allah has divine powers. This would lead to polytheism. So the Muslims are in agreement that if indeed something like a spirit visits any human then that being is a shaytaan (a jinn or devil). In Islam we know that these jinn can take the form of anybody they want and there are many narrations regarding encounters with them from the Muslims. So this being that visited Paul was none other than the shaytaan (since shaytaan is man’s worst enemy) saw an opportunity to misguide mankind from the message that they have received from the prophet Jesus (as) then Paul was the bait. What made the deception work with a greater effect is that it ( the innovated message) was under the banner of “The Gospel”. No doubt that the Injeel (Gospel) was revealed by God through Jesus, but what we have now in the first four books of the new testament is not the Gospel.
Once Paul managed to bring forth followers believing in what he brought, then a split came about in the ranks of the early true followers of Christ which they were called the Nazarenes. There was much infighting between the two groups. This is why you find narrations that some of the disciples of Christ in opposition to Paul since they knew that his message was not Jesus’s message. Throughout the years the followers of Paul increased greatly (as is the case with all people of falsehood) to the point that they managed to convert the Roman Empire into their doctrine of trinity. The followers of Christ became known as the Unitarians or the arians while the followers of Paul were known as the athnasian creed. Once the Roman Empire saw the ability to wipe out these arains there was war for three centuries until the Romans finally wiped out the arians and there was none left to preach the true teachings of Christ. There were some people far out as abbysinia (Ethiopia) who still held on to those original beliefs but there number was small. So now the innovated trinity doctrine was made as the orthodox and anything that was contrary was rendered heretical.
As the prophet Muhammad (saw) said EVERY bida (innovation) is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the hellfire. This is warning enough that we should not innovate in the religion of God for that would be distortion of the truth.
Whatever I have said that was the truth is from Allah almighty, the Sublime, Most High, and whatever I have said of falsehood is from my ignorance and the shaytaan
Abu Naima Ali Abdul-Malik (ach-Chigagowee al-Floridee) al-Boriqee
I prepared this over a year ago and would like to presentit to anyone inshallah
Bismillahi ar-Rahmani ar-Raheem
All Praise is do to Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah alone who has no partners in his dominion, who have no share in the Godly attributes that Allah has, and I also bear witness that Muhammad is his final prophet and messenger. To proceed.
This is a small treatise that explains some of the fundamental beliefs of what is called modern day Christianity. This work also explains the resultant effects of the doctrine of Christianity. Although this work is compiled for two main groups of the world, Christians and Muslims, the first of which this work would be a benefit to them for reanalyzing and actually putting reason and logic into perspective while reading the biblical texts, and the latter people for reference purposes, this work will give a greater insight to the student of knowledge or history of the actual events and certain ideologies that where propagated after the rising of Jesus (Isa as). I, inshallah, am performing this work sincerely for the sake of Allah(swt) that this work may benefit the Muslims and that this can call the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) to the pure deen (religion)of Abraham(as) the upright.
The following is number of arguments that some of which contradict reason and logic, some which contradict the religion of Abraham(as), and some which contradicts what was actually said or what happened.
A} Biblical prophecies pertaining to the advent of Muhammad.
1. The Old Testament Prophecy. If you would like to see look in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18:18 it says “ I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I (God) command him”. If you examine this prophecy closer you will see that God is telling them ( the jews) that he will raise(send) a prophet from among their brethren( meaning from the descendants of Ishmael). The Christians claim this prophet to be Jesus. This claim will be refuted in more than one way. First, the prophecy says “I will raise up for them a prophet like you( meaning Moses(as)”. Jesus is not like Moses because one Jesus, according to the Christians is not a mere prophet but they say he is God(authubillah). Secondly, Moses was a lawgiver and Jesus was not a lawgiver, but Muhammad was a law giver. Jesus only came to strengthen or revive the law of Moses which will be discussed later inshallah( if Allah wills) Thirdly, God said according to the bible, “from among their (meaning the Israelites) brethren. The only brothers that the Israelite tribe in turns of lineage was none other than Ishmael, the first born son of Abraham, the brother if Israel himself. The lineage of the noble prophet Muhammad derived from Ishmael himself as is authentically reported by the messenger of Allah and through historical evidence since the Arabs were strong in the memory of poems and tribal lineage in that day in time.
2. In Isaiah 29:12 the verse reads as “And the book is delivered to one who is illiterate, saying read this please, and he says I’am not literate”. This is a powerful proof that Muhammad is the one who fits the description narrated above.
This is part of a narration from the mother of the believers Aisha (ra). “suddenly, the Truth descended upon him (Muhammad)while he was in the cave of Hira. The Angel came to him and asked him to read ( just like the verse in the bible). The prophet (saw) replied, “I don’t know how to read” (just as the verse above says). The biblical verse is in reference to the fact about the Jews and their lack of faith and it (the verse) is part of a poetic series of events that was happening to mankind in that day in time so according to the bible Allah has sent a message to them (the Jews) that the message will be taken from them and placed to someone not from them who is illiterate.
Also if you read in Isaiah 42:1-4 God (if it’s true) is talking about his ultimate messenger and his characteristics. It would be errorenous to believe that this was Jesus because we all know (Muslims and Christians alike) that Jesus did not bring a new law, but to fulfill the old law. This means that God did not send him with a law. At the end of verse 4 it says “Till he has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands shall wait for HIS LAW. This verse clearly states that
he will bring his law which in essence is Allah’s law. This cannot be Jesus since we know that Jesus did not bring a law and the only one on the face of the earth that brought the Law of God on earth was none other than the messenger Muhammad (saw).
3. The Prophecy in the New Testament.
This is the strongest prophecy concerning Muhammad in the new testament and possibly the bible itself. This prophecy is even more in depth than in the old testament since it would be reasonable since the time was getting closer for the advent of this great and noble messenger. We will examine this prophecy carefully. If you read in the book of John chapter 16:7 it says “Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. Let’s take a look at what was said. If you look at the verse from a reasonable perspective you will see that the prophecy is conditional. Anyone in there right mind would have to agree with me that if Jesus does not depart from his disciples then this helper(counselor) will not come. So you see that the situation is conditional. Jesus says according to the bible, if I do not depart then he (the helper) will not come. Let’s go a little further with this. The word helper in the actual (original) Greek texts is called Paracletos. This word literally translated means “the praised one” or “one who is praised. For some strange reason it is apparent that the Christian scholars and translators deliberately mistranslated the Greek word Paracletos to mean the helper, the counselor, or even worse the holy spirit. The reason why this is a very bad and really an evil deed is because in a critical topic like this it is very important that when translating, you must present the clear or if not, the closest or most precise translation because in choosing a word to describe a word in another language and the meaning may be slightly off then in such a critical subject like this then the word that was used to translate another word can mean a world of a difference. These people who are scholars and translators should know this or if not then they are not fit to be in their own positions.
B} The contradictions between the biblical texts and the doctrine taught by Christianity
Below is a list of incidents compared with what is taught in the church and what is in the texts and one will see a world of a difference between the two starting from the old then the new testament
The doctrine of original sin is a part of the tenants of faith in Christianity. The meaning is this. In the beginning when Allah (God) created Adam and Eve they were told to not eat of the tree (meaning the forbidden tree). So we all know that they ate of it. Now what the Christians say is phenomenal regarding this issue. They say that since They ate of the tree that means that Everyone in the whole world is upon sin and that they are destined to the hellfire and that the only way to stop this is to accept “the Lord Jesus Christ as your “saviour” This is the doctrine of Original Sin
To find a refutation of this will not be hard at all. One will find it in none else but in the bible itself.
In the book of Ezekiel chapter 18 verse 20 it says “The soul that sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father nor the father shall bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself”. This verse means exactly what it says. This is the law of God and in Islam (and there is no distinction between the two). We will not be asked why did your forefathers take of the tree nor will they be asked why did your offspring come out to millions of Buddhist or hindu idol worshipers or millions in these countries of America and Israel killing my slaves in the east. No this is wrong rather everyone will be asked of what they have brought forth.
2. The Trinity
In the book of Mathew 7:21-22 one will read the following
“Not everyone who says to me “Lord, Lord” shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven” “Many will say to me on that day “Lord, Lord” have we not prophesied in thy name, and in thy name cast out devils, and in thy name we did many wonders” “ And them I will declare to them “I never knew you: Depart from me( baraa), you who practice lawlessness (bida, innovation).
I must make one point here. In Islaam it is a fundamental that the Muslims call on God or call God with names that he has sanctioned himself with or that which His last and final messenger Muhammad (saw) called him with. So we reject that we can call Him (God) as Father or Father in heaven. As for Jesus calling God by this name then it maybe for two reasons. First, is that It could have been allowed for Jesus to call him by this name in that time and Allah (God) knows best, OR, ( and this might be better for the Muslim to accept) those who have written the texts of the bible wished for this name to be used to strengthen their teachings upon the masses. A third point on this is that this word “father” is or was used for emphasis to describe one in authority like God. Unfortunately, this expression that was understood by all the eastern semitic and phonecian languages to mean exactly this was understood in an improper way or intended to mean what the present day Christian world believe in as God the “father” and through this understanding, developed the anthropomorphic concept of God that He the Almighty begets.
Now to analyze what was quoted. One notices that Jesus (as) said was that the only ones in the kingdom of heaven was the ones who does the will of the Father (God). Then it says on that day (day of judgement) “They” will say Lord, Lord Did we not do all these things in your name. Anyone with sound reason and knowledge of the reality can figure out from the quotes that the only people on the face of the earth that does things in the name of Jesus is none other than yes…we all know…the Christians. They are the only group on the face of the earth that does these things and more in the name of Jesus. So His reply to these people in what it says in the bible is like his reply in which Allah (God) has said Himself in the Quran that Jesus will disassociate himself from these people.
This resembles what will happen on that day when the prophet Muhammad (saw) would try to intercede for them (meaning the muslims who innovated in the legislation) on the day of judgement and it will be said to him “You do not know what they have invented after you” This is what I can remember from the wording of the hadith (narration, tradition, actions, or sanctions from the noble prophet Muhammad (saw). Then he (Jesus) said “you who practice lawlessness”. This means that they have innovated in what he brought from the message. What was the innovation. There innovation may not be (and Allah knows best) is not that they call him lord, since in those times they used this term for a great form of respect and that even rabbis and priest were called by this (even though now the Christians, when they read these texts, they perceive it to mean something divine), but the innovation was that they do everything in his name and this is shirk (polytheism). Jesus would not utter such a falsehood to the people. There is not a text in the bible where Jesus says “to do everything in my name” or “I’m the Lord your God” wan audhu billah from such statements.
There is a verse in Mathew 19:16-17. In it we read “Now behold, one came and said to him “Good Teacher” what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?
Jesus response as you will see is in a refutational like manner in which he replies back by saying “Why do you call me good. There is only one who is good and that is God” Subhanallah. This statement refutes the basic doctrine of Christianity from two angles. The first is from a logical standpoint and that is if Jesus disclaims himself to be good and that the only one in the whole universe who is deserving of this title is God then by common sense this should tell you that he, Jesus, is not God. The second follows from the first and that is if Jesus disclaims himself to be God then that means that the doctrine of trinity was brought up by someone other than him and that this is a false belief.
C. In Mark 13:32 it says “ But of that Day and Hour(meaning the day of resurrection) no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son (Jesus), but only the Father. Look at this devastating statement against the ones who claim to follow Jesus.
I must clarify the doctrine of trinity before I move on. The trinity is a belief that was invented after the birth and rising of Jesus (as) and what it is is that God, the holy Virgin Mary, and Jesus are one. (note that when Allah revealed about the trinity He used these three since this was what was being taught at that time before it was change to the holy spirit. Now in modern times it is not the Virgin May that is in the Godhead(only in catholocism) but the holy spririt). This, if one were to believe in this doctrine, means that God, Mary or Holy Spirit, and Jesus are one , equal, and coexistent which means that nothing is hidden from the other. If Mary knows then Jesus and God know. If God knows then Jesus and the holy sprit or Mary knows. This is the meaning of coexistence. So if it is proved by evidence that one that is coexistent with two more knows something that the other two don’t then guess what. The claim is nullified and rendered false. Anyone with reason and intellect can see this. And we know as Muslims and Christians that Allah (God) is knowledge of all things. This means that nothing is hidden from Allah and that there is not anything that exists except that it is in His knowledge. So if The Christians claim that Jesus is “God” then they are claiming or ascribing ignorance to God. If Jesus is God then it is in his knowledge to know when the hour will come, but your scripture says other wise. So two scenarios can be summarized by what this and that is one, if the Christian is right in their claim of Jesus being God then that means that there biblical texts has lied to them which means (in their eyes God has lied to them). Second is that if they are not right in their claim and what the bible says is true then that means that their doctrine of trinity which is what they waged war for and try so hard to teach the people of it is false. So the Christian finds him/her self at a lost from both angles.
D. In John 5:30 Jesus says to the people “I can of myself do NOTHING. As I hear, I judge; and my judgement is righteous, because I do not seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me”.
This is plenty and satisfactory evidence that Jesus clearly disowns himself from having any type of divinity and that he and Allah are different and not the same. Notice how he says that he does not seek his will but the will of Allah. The triune God does not have multiple wills since this will render the triune essence as false. Jesus also says in the texts that he can do nothing. Can anyone seriously believe a God who can do nothing (if Jesus is God). No. So this means again that either their claim is correct and the bible false or the bible correct and the claim ( the doctrine) false.
E. If the Christian uses as evidence for him/her about the verse in John 10:30 “I and my Father are one” then the best advice is that you read from the same book and chapter and start from verse 23. This will show you the whole context of what was going on between him and the disbelieving jews. The Christian pulled it (the verse) out of context. If you read carefully then you would notice ( if this event did happen and Allah knows best) that he merely pointed out that he and Allah were united as one for one purpose and that was to guide mankind. This is like saying Muhammad and Jesus were one. And Muhammad and Noah or Abraham were one. They were one upon on creed and way and that was to guide mankind from the abominations and evils of shaytaan (the devil). This does not mean that Muhammad and the rest of the prophets were one in the same literally.
F. A proof that the Christian world uses to prove the divinity of Jesus as God they use the passages throughout the new testament that state titles like “son of man”. There is no proof in the bible whatsoever where Jesus (the words of the supposedly words of Jesus are in red in some bibles) said to the people and refered to himself as God. There are passages where he states (according to the writing of the later day generations e.g. the canonical first four books) son of man. So as for this proof then here is a response in reply by what the Christians deem to be also the word of God.
“God is not a man, nor is he the son of man” (Numbers 23:19)
I need no further statements to clarify this as the very texts itself is self explanatory to even the children.
C} Prophethood and the Law of Old
1. I must start out with the true mission defined in the bible of Jesus.
In Mathew 5:17-18 Jesus states “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law until all is fulfilled”. He came to fulfill the old law. Why. It is because the Pharisees changed the word of Allah by meaning and action as it is stated in the Quran. These Pharisees issued false rulings and beliefs from their book and interpreted the revelation in a way other than its true meanings and they knew the true meanings. This made this evil much heavier upon them. This is why the tension between Jesus and the Pharisees was so great.
2. As far as prophethood is concerned then there are reports that say Jesus is a prophet and He himself says this.
On the road to Emmaus look in Luke 24:13. Also in Luke 24:19, Mathew 13:57, John 8:40, John 6:14 and from his own mouth in Luke 13:33, Luke 7:26-27, and Mathew 21:11
D} Noninspirational, Contradictions, and Absurdness in religion from the biblical texts.
a. Noninspirational.
1. The Christian loves to quote from John chapter 1 verses 1 and 2. I must point out for the student if history that John received this formula of a statement from a geek philosopher named Philo. Philo has lived on earth decades before John and Jesus. John has used this statement to fit in his gospel if he really did write it.
2. The second evidence I wish to bring forth for the people is in 2 Timothy 3:16. It says that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, or for instructions unto righteousness”. This verse explains a criterion for everyone to use to evaluate weather any form of scripture is from God. Now we are going to use this verse as a criterion and apply it to some of the texts of the bible, but first I must clarify what these four rules means.
The first one is doctrine and this means that all scripture is for teachings and rulings to benefit the people and to build the creed or firm creed in the hearts of men. The second one is reproof and this means that a certain scripture is for a refutation or like an admonition, or a rebuke. For example, God may have revealed something to a prophet about a city and the actual message is a warning and if they(the people of that city) don’t listen then God will destroy them. This is what a reproof is. Then comes correction which means for example, If a certain people did something wrong then God corrected him or them. Then comes instructions unto righteousness which is like scripture to purify the heart and to increase in imaan (faith) and good character.
Now I can move on with some of the biblical texts that fit outside of these four categories in which scripture has a use in this life according to the bible.
If you look in the book of Judges 16:1 you will read “Now Sampson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went into her”. If you read further you will notice that there is no admonition anywhere for what Sampson did. This excludes the second and third proofs of reproof and correction. So now lets see if this verse is used for doctrine. Can the actual act of doing this can be taught as being religious or to teach people their beliefs. NO. So this excludes the first proof for doctrine. Does this act increase someone in faith. Can it purify his heart. We all know the answer to this. NO. So this excludes the forth reason which is instructions unto righteousness. So now I ask where does this verse fit in the so called book of God. It doesn’t. So now the question is that is it truly the book of God?
3. Also in Genesis 38:15-19 you will read that Judah the father of the largest tribe of Israel saw a harlot on the street and he did not know it was his daughter in law
So the story goes on as a ***** story and his daughter in law conceived from that event. There is no proof where there is a correction or a reproof, or that this act was an instruction unto righteousness, or for doctrinal purposes. I’m asking now where does this story fit in the so called word of God.
b. Absurdness in religion.
1. I will display a couple passages from the biblical texts. In Numbers 31:17. It is stated that Moses (as) gave the command which is “Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately.
The next verse states “But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately.
Now I say that in that day in time how on earth can anyone determine any woman to be a virgin or not. Remember that this is in a time of war for the Israelite warriors. We all know that the only way a man can know if a woman was a virgin or not is to actually sexual relations. Can you o Muslim believe this order to come from the noble prophet Musa (Moses (as). If you read further along the narrative you will find that it says in verse 40 that 16000 persons (meaning the only ones alive who were the raped woman) and 32 of those raped woman where for the Lord (God). I’m asking how would anyone sacrifice 32 raped woman to God himself. This is barbaric and unacceptable in the true monotheism (Islam) of God.
2. In 1 Samuel 18:27 we read that prophet David (as) killed two hundred men from the philistines and took their forskin (meaning the skin over the genitals) and used this as currency to buy a wife for himself from the king Saul.
These are just a few of much of the absurdness in the biblical texts and I must note I do not mock for mere amusement or to make people feel bad or to degrade them (the people). This is done so that people may reflect on the reality of their own beliefs and to make the last message of the Lord of the worlds which has no falsehood in it, known to the people.
C. Contradictions
In the Quran it is stated by Allah to the disbelievers “Have you not reflected over it (the book, Quran), and see that if it was brought by other than Allah then you would have found many contradictions in it.
I will apply this beautiful criterion for determination. This criterion should be used for any book that claims to be from God.
Of the many contradictions that are contained throughout the bible I will list only a few of them.
1. In John 18:9 Jesus says “Of those you gave me I have lost none”. Compare this to what is said in the same book in chapter 17:12 while talking about the same thing it says “While I was in the world I kept them in Your name; Those whom you gave me I have kept; And none of them is lost EXCEPT (meaning with the exception of one) the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.
As you see in one narrative Jesus says that none was lost and in another narrative one is lost. Can someone explain? This is not criticism against Jesus (as), but of those who have claimed that the scripture is an inspiration from Allah (God). This is one of the weak contradictions and I will provide even more proofs in which is not easily explained AT ALL.
2. In Exodus 33:23 it says at the end of the verse “My face shall not be seen”. This is in reference to the prophet Moses (as) seeing Allah. Now if you look in the same chapter in verse 11 it says that the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. The verse is an explanation of itself. How did the Lord speak to Moses face to face. The explanation is as a man speaks to his friend. Does anyone of us speak to our friends through a veil. I believe not. This verse clearly states that Moses saw the face of God by the way it has explained itself. This is clear contradiction from the first verse that I posed.
3. In Mark 10:27 you read that Jesus said “With men, it is impossible, but not with God; For with God all things are possible. We must agree as Muslims that with Allah all things are possible. Now what we cannot agree upon is that in Judges 1:19 it says “And the LORD was with Judah (meaning Allah, God). And they drove out the mountaineers, BUT THEY (meaning Allah and Judah) COULD NOT drive out the inhabitants of the lowlands, because they had chariots of iron”. This verse clearly shows the unpowerfullness of God or that he is incapable. While the first verse indeed testifies of Gods ultimate powers. So which one should we take and reject? If the Christian rejects the second verse then in reality he/she is rejecting what they claim to be the word of God which means that this in of itself is disbelief.
4. In Hebrew 4:15 it states that Jesus was tempted in everyway just as we are yet without sin. Now compare this with James 1:13 which states that the true God cannot be tempted. This is a contradiction from the text to doctrine in Christianity. These are just some of the contradictions amongst others that are rampant throughout the bible.
This is just a critical analysis of the fundamental beliefs of the doctrine of Christianity and the book that is suppose to support them, which in reality is also a proof against them. The reason why for this analysis is for the main reason which is the belief in the trinity and the misconception that the Muslims are polytheist or that they worship Muhammad (saw)
Oh Muslims and Christians. The reason for the misguided beliefs is do to one reason. The methodology of innovation. I shall explain. In Islam, innovation is a misguidance for many reasons amongst which is the fact that the one who innovates is in reality saying that they are not pleased with what God (Allah) has given them of guidance so they add other beliefs in the religion. Or that the innovator believes that Allah did not provide sufficient guidance for our times (modern). Or that the innovator is so evil that he wishes to change the legislation of Allah and to misguide the people. In Islam innovation is worse than sin and the second less to polytheism, because the one who does sin knows that they have done wrong. So the door for repentance is open, but when they practice innovation then they believe that they are doing the right thing hence they never repent. The main reason for innovation is so the adherent of it (innovation) can get closer to Allah. This is why it is misguidance since they (the people of innovated beliefs) believe that whatever practice they are doing is correct.
The chief innovator and the true father of what is Trinitarian Christianity is none other than Paul (Saul) of Tarsus. One reason why the sending of Muhammad (saw) to mankind was first and foremost the will and decree of Allah (God) swt. Then it is also because of the greatest misguidance that the world has ever witnessed in the guise of the truth from this individual named Paul. Paul was not even in the scene when Jesus was around. It is said about this man that he was an advocate against the true followers of Christ. Then in a vision Paul has seen Jesus and was told what to do and propagate the belief in shirk (polytheism) in the guise of monotheism and the message of Jesus. In Islam, once the soul has departed from the body, but in Jesus case he was raised, then they are in what is called al-Barsakh or the grave by which the servant in the grave is being blessed with wonders and in happiness and the one of evil is tormented.
To the heavens by the decree of Allah, then the soul is in the grave with the body once it is buried and it starts the beginning stage of the next life. This leaves no room for the belief that spirits of the dead visit the people or protect them since this would leave the door open for the people to believe that something other than Allah has divine powers. This would lead to polytheism. So the Muslims are in agreement that if indeed something like a spirit visits any human then that being is a shaytaan (a jinn or devil). In Islam we know that these jinn can take the form of anybody they want and there are many narrations regarding encounters with them from the Muslims. So this being that visited Paul was none other than the shaytaan (since shaytaan is man’s worst enemy) saw an opportunity to misguide mankind from the message that they have received from the prophet Jesus (as) then Paul was the bait. What made the deception work with a greater effect is that it ( the innovated message) was under the banner of “The Gospel”. No doubt that the Injeel (Gospel) was revealed by God through Jesus, but what we have now in the first four books of the new testament is not the Gospel.
Once Paul managed to bring forth followers believing in what he brought, then a split came about in the ranks of the early true followers of Christ which they were called the Nazarenes. There was much infighting between the two groups. This is why you find narrations that some of the disciples of Christ in opposition to Paul since they knew that his message was not Jesus’s message. Throughout the years the followers of Paul increased greatly (as is the case with all people of falsehood) to the point that they managed to convert the Roman Empire into their doctrine of trinity. The followers of Christ became known as the Unitarians or the arians while the followers of Paul were known as the athnasian creed. Once the Roman Empire saw the ability to wipe out these arains there was war for three centuries until the Romans finally wiped out the arians and there was none left to preach the true teachings of Christ. There were some people far out as abbysinia (Ethiopia) who still held on to those original beliefs but there number was small. So now the innovated trinity doctrine was made as the orthodox and anything that was contrary was rendered heretical.
As the prophet Muhammad (saw) said EVERY bida (innovation) is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the hellfire. This is warning enough that we should not innovate in the religion of God for that would be distortion of the truth.
Whatever I have said that was the truth is from Allah almighty, the Sublime, Most High, and whatever I have said of falsehood is from my ignorance and the shaytaan

Now I know which Christians sources are intellectually lacking.
:wilted_ro . I still make dua that Allah guides her to Islam. InshAllah she will take shahada before she goes back to Allah!!! :Crescent:
