Hi guys ,, again you are getting away from the good way to speak about this kind of discussions,,,
First of all >> Abs ,, yes your post included too many insulting to Holy Quraan , Prophet Mohammad pbuh, and Islam . I don’t think that this is a method to get things explained as you said in the other thread ,,,this way you will be getting only some what are called Terrorists bombing at your home . and this way you are speaking about islam ,, you can consider yourself an intellecual-terrorist ,, dont you think so ???
Now Liban ,,,, well,, I can understand you coz I am a muslim just like you ,,, but I don’t expect others to accept what we believe just like this ,, I mean instead of telling a Christian that his Bible is not correct or a jweish that his Torah is not correct ,, you could try to show facts why the Holy Quraan is 100% correct , and ofcourse those facts are existed .
Now back to the thing >>>>>>>> Abs ,, first of all ,, the Prophet Muhammad pbuh,, didn’t possess the Bible nor the Torah . I don’t know where did you come with this from !!!!!! A very interesting thing ,, the Prophet pbuh , was not able to read nor to write ,,and this is one of God’s arrangings to prove that the Holy Quraan is God’s words ,,, and could never be of a Human’s speaking . not only this ,,, The Prophet pbuh ,, of course in his life has given speeches and sayings , but , he prevented his companions from writing those speeches ,, why ??? coz he ordered them to write only Quraan ,, why ? coz he didn’t want his speeches to get mixed up with the Holy Quraan , and this is also one of the God’s arrangings to keep Holy Quraan safe . coz God has guaranteed in the Holy Quraan to keep it safe and away from messing up with it .
Furthermore ,,, Holy Quraan is in Arabic ,, and its language itself was a miracle to the people at that time ,, I mean they were arabs ,, and they knew the ability of a very high leveled people in language ,, I mean poets ,,,,, etc. At that time ,, Holy Quraan challenged Arabs to come with a single Sura ,, or a single verse that promotes to the level of language that it used ,,, they just failed ,, not only that ,,, most of them came muslims coz of it ,, coz they knew that this kind of speaking would never be of a human being .
The science in Quraan ,,, I always insist on this side coz it’s the nearest to people’s minds nowadays ,,, I mean ,, Quraan has spoken about different things 1400 years back that would never have been discovered at that time in any way ,,, and they are getting its meanings now only after the science is explaining them . and believe me they are amazing ,,, it spoke about the baby in his mother’s uterus ,, it spoke about the planets in the universe how each one has an orbit ,,, etc .
Holy Quraan is involved with everything ,, I mean its like constitution to the whole nation of Islam ,, not to mention the whole world ,,as the message of Islam is for all , it spoke about social life ,, about financial transactions ,, about heritage ,about politics about ancient civilization , it even spoke about orginzing the relationship between a husband and his wife . In a word, Quraan organizes the life ,,, of course if its applied ,, but unfortunately its not .. and I don’t want to go through this ,, coz it will lead us to speak about politics here .
What is mentioned in Holy Quraan ,, while it was mentioned in the Bible first ,,, I don’t see any problem with that ,,, why there should be one ??? they are from the very exact source ,,,, even Prophet Muhammad himself was mentioned in Torah and Bible , there is a whole Sura in Quraan : ( Mariam ) that is Mary in Arabic ,, speaking about virgin Mary and Jesus ,, .many many verses speak about Bani Israel ,, those are the Jewish people … and the history of Prophet Muhammad pbuh , is full of stories with the jewish people ,,,, I will tell you this thing ,,, the people of Madinah ,, that is the city where the Prophet has migrated to , and established the first state of Islam ,, were the first to support the Prophet and believe in him ,,, why ??? once in a year where pilgrims went to Mecca for Hajj ,,, the Prophet met some people from Madinah ,, he offered Islam as he is ordered to offer it to people ,, what did those people say ? they said : We swear by God that this is the Prophet that Bani Israel has told about ,, that he will appear ,,, so don’t let Bani Israel believe in him before you . Jews new that there will be a prophet and a last one ,, sent to people ,,but they thought that he will be from them ,,, coz it was like this in the past ,,, most of the prophets were from Bani Israel ,,,, so Jews kept telling and informing about that Prophet who will come and it was near the timing that they said he will appear ,, so they just were waiting for him . but of course when they saw that he didn’t appear from them ,,, well,, they just denied it ,,, of course there were some Jews who believe and embraced Islam at that time but ,, am speaking about the majority of them .
One thing more ,, before the great migration to Mecca ,, there was two small migrations to Habsha ,,so called at that time which is nowadays called Ethybia ,, ( I am not sure of the spelling ) , at that time the unbelievers of Mecca started annoying the muslims who were becoming more and more ,,, so the Prophet pbuh ,, told them to migrate to Habasha ,, coz he knew that its king applied justice at that time ,, and guess what ,,he was Christian ,,, what did the prophet said ? he said : Go to Habasha, that there is a king who never applies injustice “ well,, when they went there, the unbelievers of Mecca followed them to prevent them from staying in calm ,,, so they asked that king to kick those Muslims out of his territory , he asked them why ??? then they had to find a reason ,, so they told him to ask the muslims what their Quraan tells them about Jesus and Mary ,,, one of the Muslim there recited the verses in the Sura I told you about “Mariam “ ,,, the king started crying ,, and said : I swear by God that they said the truth . ,,,,,,,,,,,,, and he refused to let the unbelievers to put hand on them .
Now why we Muslims believe that Bible and Torah are deformed by humans ??? coz Holy Quraan said that ,,, as we believe that Quraan is correct from what I mentioned above .
Now what you say that Islam and Christianity are different !!!!!!!!! I say yes and no ,,,, they are alike and they are different ,,, they are alike of that they are from the same source ,,, and they are different in the way they are offering the kind of belief to their followers ,,, now of course the original Bible had the same instructions as any Holy Book ,,, the message was one >>>> TO WORSHIP GOD AND NOTHING BUT GOD .
And what do you mean by where did we get the word Allah from ????? it’s the name of God ,,, the same god that Muslims , Christians and Jews worship ,,,, its in Arabic ,,, and you can check with an arab Christian about this my dear … this way you even insulted God … ( god forbids ,,,and may he forgive us )
Let me tell you about the missionaries in the middle east ,,,, and I am really sorry from the bottom of my heart that they use this way which I only can call “ cheap” , they either use the poverty of certain people to get them into Christianity ,,, or they use the ,,,mmmm ,, what to call it ? the desires that people usually have ,,, like being in an environment where you can mingle with tooo much ladies or vise versa ,,,, where you can do all your desires ,,, I know one like this in dubai ,,, and you know what ?????? he arranges parties to get people in it ,, drinking ,, relationships ,,, etc. after all that ,,he starts with offering Christianity and its GREATNESS ,,, I mean what is this ????? well,, I don’t that Jesus would accept something like this …I know that drinking and mingling is not a sin ,, in current Christianity , ,,,, and of course I didn’t mean the usual mingling ,,, they try to get Muslims in such parties ,, coz you might know that mingling in such a way is prohibited in Islam …. Do you know what a guy told him once when he found out what his aim was ??? he told him ,, what is this ?? you get a bible free when you take two boobs ??? I am sorry to say it like this in public ,, but this happened ,,, don’t you find it shameful for a very respectful religion men to do ?????????
Believe me Abs ,,,,, all what we believe in will serve us only in the after life ,, we are not living for this life ,, the scope is the after life, in the meanwhile we are all living in the same world ,,and it will get you nowhere with this kind of attitude . and even Quraan ,, distinguished the unbelievers from Christians and Jews ,, Quraan called them : People of Book ,,, so even with this ,, Quraan was fair with them ,, it considered them believers in God ,,,, BUT ,,,, ,,,, they got into other small ways ,, away from the straight one that leads only to God .
Let me tell you this ,,,, my uncle’s wife is Christian , she is Spanish ,, she stayed in my country for two years ,,, I can say that she is the kind of fair Christians ,,, she had no problem with Muslims ,, on the contrary ,,, she is an open minded lady ,,, I even went with her to the church one day ,, although its an Arab country and a muslim one. It was Christmas ,,, she and I were walking around the city ,, we arrived to a place where the biggest church in the city stood ,,, she just stopped in front of it ,, and started looking at it ,, I mean her eyes were going to go out from their place ,, then I asked her : do you want to go in ????? she looked at me with joy ,,, with happiness ,,, and said : if its ok with you to wait for me for few minutes . I said : I will go in with you ,,, she was amazed ,, I mean look at this situation ,,, she wanted to go inside the church so badly ,,, but she felt embarrassed to let me out standing alone ,,, but I understood that she wanted it …. What do you call this comparing to what you are trying to do here ????????? this is the level of culture we should lead in this life ,,, Islam doesn’t force people to embrace it … A Muslim’s mission is to offer it only ,, who wants to accept it ,, then its ok ,,,who doesn’t want then its his decision . and this is mentioned also in the Holy Quraan ,,, I wonder why you don’t ask about these verses ,,,, but I know why ,, coz they reveal the greatness of Islam ,,, ok ,, a person usually asks about the things he is doubtful about ,, OR the things he want to seem doubtful ,,,, .
