Chapter 7. 15
Qur’an on Jesus
Does
the Qur’an actually point to Jesus Christ?
First Word
Getting ahead of God: Before we begin, it would be “in order” to get
a little background on how the Muslim religion and
the Qur’an
came about. To do this we must go back
to Father Abraham and his wife Sarah. A
number of years had passed since God had promised Abraham that his seed would
multiply and be like the stars in the sky; so Abraham and Sarah decided to help
God out with His Plan.
Sarah gave her maidservant Hagar to Abraham to father a child.[1] - This is where we get the phrase “God helps those
who help themselves.” (This is NOT in the
Bible.) Then Hagar
gave birth to a son named ISHMAEL. Abraham loved Ishmael and raises him in his
home as his “FIRST BORN” son.[2]
Fourteen years later Sarah gives
birth to Isaac, HER
first born son, but he was the ‘SECOND BORN”
son of Abraham.[3]
Ishmael
What follows is a very important detail
to digest. It is at the request of Abraham that Ishmael became the nation that it is today. Abraham loved Ishmael and wanted him to
receive a blessing like the promised given to Isaac. God hears
Abraham’s prayer and promises that Ishmael will also become a great nation with
twelve tribes,
but he WOULD NOT receive the covenant that was
promised to be passed down through Isaac.[4]
Ishmael’s Twelve
Tribes are Nebaioth, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, Mishma, Dumez, Hadad,
Tema, Jetur, Naphish, Kedemah and Massa;[5]
who we know as the Midianites, Edomites, Egyptians and Assyrians; the great desert
people of the Middle East. These twelve
tribes were given a vast land, much
more than Isaac, but they wanted the land of the covenant too…. And still do.
The Blood Feud starts
The Angel tells Hagar
that when Ishmael is born, he will be a wild ass of a man
and live in
hostility toward his brothers and they will also be against him.[6]
The covenant was promised by God to Abraham and to Sarah a free woman,
not to Hagar a bonds woman; a maidservant.[7] Ishmael
was born of FREE WILL of the flesh; Isaac was born of the PRDESTINED promise.
Ishmael is fourteen years old when Isaac is born and begins to make sport
of him.[8] Ishmael is jealous because he himself was the
first born of Abraham, yet the blessing of the covenant of God
would be with the second born, Isaac.
In the beginning Cain became jealous of Able who was favored by God and Cain killed him. This is repeated again with the two brothers;
when Ishmael becomes jealous of Isaac. This
jealousy developed into hatred and has continued for some 4,000 years.
The
promised land of God was passed
down through Abraham,
to Isaac
and to Jacob,
not through Ishmael
which is the source of the friction between the Arabs and the Jews today; specifically
the city of Jerusalem. REMEMBER THIS.
Qur’an - Hadith
A little more background; I
want to identify two Muslim books and the five pillars of Islam.
The Qur’an given to the “Last Prophet” MUHAMMAD, claimed to be the perfect revelation of Allah.
Some passages are not fully understood without the aid of “The Hadith” which clarifies
their intent.
The Hadith is a companion
book to the Qur’an
that shows how to put the guidance of the Qur’an into practice. It’s a collection of sayings, deeds and the
behavior of Muhammad including; eating, sleeping, praying, mating, planning
revenge on his enemies and dispensing justice. These actions of Muhammad were not ordinary
acts; but were considered the actions of “Allah”.
They were handed down through the generations verbally and then about
200 years after Muhammad’s death they were written down.
A Good Muslim will do all
these same things as well as name their children Muhammad. The Hadith in some sects is followed more closely
than the Qur’an
and its sayings can supersede the Qur’an.
The Five Pillars of Islam are five
basic acts considered mandatory by believers and are the foundation
of Muslim life. They are summarized in the famous Hadith.
They make up Muslim life, prayer,
concern for the needy, self-purification and the pilgrimage to Mecca; they are:
1)
Shahadah: declaring
there is no god except Allah, and Muhammad is his Messenger.
2)
Salat: ritual prayer
five times a day.
3)
Sawm: fasting and
self-control during the blessed month of Ramadan.
4)
Zakat: giving 2.5% of
one’s savings to the poor and needy.
5)
Hajj: pilgrimage
to Mecca at least once in a lifetime if he/she is able to do so.
Submission: The Muslim faith
requires complete submission to ALL of the decisions and actions of Muhammad,
which includes hundreds of stories in the Hadith.
You must not only know and obey the Qur’an, but
also know and obey the Hadith.
*** Sura 4:65 – Submission to Allah requires complete
obedience to ALL of Muhammad’s decisions.
Islam
Islam purports that the True
Covenant of God and bloodline of Abraham rests with Ishmael the First Born and NOT with Isaac the Second born of Abraham. They believe that the scriptures were
distorted, corrupted and changed by the Jews to establish themselves as the
heirs to the covenant.
NOTE: Islam says
Abraham had eight sons not twelve; all reared in Mecca, not Hebron. They claim it was Ishmael who was about to be
sacrificed on Mount Moriah, NOT Isaac. They claim the title deed to the land was
passed down through the Arabs, not the Jews.
Israel had defeated the Arab world five times in succession. Now humiliated, the Arabs are now out for
revenge. It is noteworthy to mention
that the Muslim’s
cannot even get along with their own sect as there is a long running blood feud between the Sunnis and the Shiites power bases.
Today Islam commands; “Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them and seize
them, beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war”.
Abdul Aziz Ibn
Saud says,
“We shall never
call for or accept a negotiated peace. We shall only accept war; Jihad, the holy war. We have resolved to drench the lands of
Palestine and Arabia with the blood of the infidels or to accept martyrdom
for the glory of Allah”.
Islamic Jihad; to die for the
cause of Islam is an honor; a passport to paradise.
Hadith 2:483 – I have been
ordered to fight the people till they say, Allah be worshipped.
Sura
Sura
Hadith
Muhammad: “He, who
relinquishes his faith; kill him. I have
been ordered by Allah
to fight with people till they testify there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger”.
Hadith 1:505 – Anyone who
dies in a Jihad will have a prominent place in paradise.
Hadith 9:459 – Anyone who
engages in a holy war (jihad) will be
admitted into paradise with his reward of booty.
Sura 78:33 – In paradise
man can have many women.
Ayatollah
Khomeini: “The purest joy in Islam is to kill and to be killed for Allah”.
There can be no peace with the Jews or
Christians or any other non-Islamic people; and that if peace must be made,
only a truce is permissible and that “for a maximum of 10 years as an expedient
to hone our swords, whet our blood and strengthen our will.”
Islamic Extremist is a misnomer, if
you follow Islam,
the Qur’an
and the Hadith,
then none are extremist; ALL hate non-Muslims; their mission is to convert or kill us
in the name of Allah.
Genesis 22:2 –
Take Isaac: Sacrifice him on Mount Moriah
2 Then GOD said, “TAKE YOUR SON, YOUR ONLY SON, whom you love—ISAAC—and
go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a
mountain I will show you.”
(NIV2011)
*** Sura 9:5 - Find them, Lie in wait, Seize
them, Kill them
5 When the
sacred months have passed, SLAY the idolaters wherever ye FIND
them, SEIZE
them; LIE IN
WAIT for them in every stratagem (of war).
Islam - Religion of peace
Every year, there are
homes and churches that are torched; dozens of priests, pastors, nuns and
other church workers murdered. Thousands of Christian have even been
kidnapped, raped, tortured, mutilated, hacked to death and murdered
all at the hands of these devout Muslim Islamic extremists. There justification is charges
of apostasy, blasphemy or insulting Islam.
Christianity: Muslim do not
fear Christians for their safety as there is little if any violent retaliation
from Christians to the terrorism and deadly violence that is routinely
dispensed by the Muslims.
Everything you read in the Qur’an
calls for violence,
terror and retaliation, while the Bible calls for peace and reconciliation. Islam
says to convert or KILL the un-believer; Christianity says to share the salvation
message of the Gospel
with GENTLENESS and RESPECT.
Muhammad tells his
followers to assault
and terrorize
the Jews and Christians; Jesus tells His followers to NOT resort to violence, but to PRAY
for their enemies.
How can Islam call itself a religion of Peace? GOOD GRIEF

Qur’an on
Allah & Yahweh
Koran, Quran, or Qur’an. According to Wikipedia, the accepted
transliteration is Qur’an and the word Muslim is preferred over the
word Moslem.
In the Qur’an
it is presented that the Christian, Jew and Muslim ALL follow the same God of Abraham. According to Islamic belief, Allah
is the proper name of God, and humble submission to His Will, Divine
Ordinances and Commandments is the pivot of the Muslim faith. "He is the only
God, creator of the universe, and the judge of humankind”.
The Qur’an
insists, Muslims
believe and Historians affirm
that Muhammad
and his followers worship the same God as the Jews, BUT, the Qur'an portrays Allah as both more powerful and more remote than Yahweh, and as a UNIVERSAL deity, unlike Yahweh who closely follows the
Israelites.
Sura 19:96 – Allah has no
affection for any creature. Love is conditional
on good works.
Sura 3:129 – Allah has predestined some to paradise and some to hell.
Sura 32:13 – Allah sends
to hell whomever he wants. Allah created
a multitude of spirits and men specifically for the purpose of sending them to hell.
NOTE: What
people believe can be more powerful than the truth. (Hal Lindsey)
*** Sura
2:255 – There’s no God but Allah the
Self-Subsisting God
255 God – There
is no god but He – The Living, the Self-subsisting, eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on the
earth. Who is there that can intercede
in His presence except as he permitteth?
He knoweth (what appears to his creatures as) before or after
or behind then. Nor shall they compass
aught His knowledge except as He willith.
His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no
fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is Most High, The Supreme (in glory).
Qur’an on the Unpardonable Sin
Allah
was never married so he could not have a son; therefore saying Jesus or
any man is or ever was the son of God is blasphemous and deserving of death. Assigning
partners to God; (God the Father, God the Son,
God the Holy Spirit) blasphemes ALLAH and is The Un-pardonable
Sin.
You can certainly
now see why a Muslim
would hate
a Christian.
*** Sura
112 – Allah has no begotten Son
112 He is God,
The One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He BEGETTETH NOT, nor is he begotten;
and there is none like unto Him
*** Sura 4:116 – Un-pardonable
Sin join Allah with Father, Son, Spirit
116 God forgiveth NOT (the
sin of)
joining other
gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than
this; one who joins other gods with God, hath strayed far, far away (from Allah)
Qur’an on
the Trinity
God is not three persons in
one. The Trinity exist in Allah,
Jesus
and Mary. There is no Son, because Allah was not married. The Holy Spirit is the Angel
Gabriel.
***
Sura 4:171 - Allah is NOT THREE; He does not have a son
171 So believe
in Allah
and His messengers and say NOT THREE – Cease! (It is) better for you! Allah is one God.
For is it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a
son.
***
Sura 5:116 – Trinity is Allah, Jesus and Mary
116 And when Allah saith; O JESUS, SON OF MARY! Didst
thou say unto mankind: Take ME and my MOTHER for TWO GODS besides ALLAH? He saith; Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I no
right.
Matthew 28:19 –
Trinity is God, Jesus and Holy Spirit
19 Therefore,
go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the FATHER
and the SON
and the HOLY
SPIRIT.

1 John 5:19-20 – Jesus is Second in the
God head
19 We know that we are of God, and

we know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus
Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Qur’an on
Muhammad & Jesus
The
Qur’an
is 114 Chapters called Suras made up of 6666 words. Interesting the number of man is 6
which is the Biblical number for SIN and the multiple of that is 666 the most worst sin which is
the number of the anti-Christ; in my BS, my Belief System; with the Qur’an being 6666 must be more sinful than
that of the Anti-Christ. Just
Saying
Muhammad’s name is mentioned in
the Qur’an
in only FOUR
places while the name of Jesus
is brought forth TWENTY FIVE times.
Jesus spoke from the cradle and said He Himself
was only a Prophet of Allah.
Jesus was righteous; sinless and
performed miracles of healing and raised the dead.
Jesus is the Messiah; but He is not
God.
At the Death of Jesus, Allah will
send the Prophet Muhammad, not the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said He is not worthy to intercede to
God for us; we should go to Muhammad.
Jesus did not actually die on the cross by
crucifixion, but it was made to look like it.
When Jesus did die, he was taken
up to be with Allah as was Enoch and Elijah before him.
Jesus will return and punish the
Jews and Christians for not accepting Muhammad.
Jesus will judge by the Law of
the Qur’an, not by the Law of the Gospel.
TEN POINTS made about The Prophet Jesus in the Qur’an; Chapter 3, verses 45-55 as translated
from the Arabic text. This is the names
of the Prophet and His actions.
1)
Word of God
2)
Spirit of God
3)
Jesus Christ
4)
Jesus spoke when he was small, like 2 days after
his birth.
5)
Jesus created a bird with mud and breathed into
it and it became a live bird (He can give life)
6)
Jesus cured a man born blind; He cured a man with
leprosy, and many more.
7)
Jesus gave life to dead people.
8)
He went to heaven.
9)
He is still alive
10)
He will come again
NOTE: There is a big
difference between the two prophets Muhammad and Jesus. According to the Qur’an; Muhammad
is NONE of the ten things listed
above and in fact he himself did die and is now NOT alive and will NOT come back. I didn’t say it - It’s in the
Qur’an.
Just for Fun
From
the Lost Books of the Bible: The Second
Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ; speaking
about Jesus performing the miracle of giving life to clay pigeons while a
child.
Note: In my BS, my Belief System, this
miracle does not line up with the other “Fence Posts” of Bible scripture which clearly
states that the first
recorded miracle of Jesus was when He
turned Water
into Wine, but I include it here for you to ponder.
2 Infancy - Chapter 1:4-9
– Jesus performs a miracle as a child.
4 Then he took from the bank of the stream some
soft clay and formed
out of it twelve sparrows; and there were other boys playing with
him.
5 But a certain Jew seeing the things which he
was doing namely, his forming clay into the figures of sparrows on the Sabbath
day, went and told his father Joseph, and said.
6 Behold, thy boy is playing by the river side,
and has taken clay and formed it into twelve sparrows and profaneth the Sabbath.
7 Then Joseph came to the place where he was, and
when he saw him, called to him and said, Why doest thou that which is not
lawful to do on the Sabbath Day?
8 Then Jesus clapping his hand, to the; Go, fly away;
and while ye live remember me.
9 So the sparrows fled away making a noise.
John 2:9 – Jesus First Miracle; turned water
into wine.
9 and THE
MASTER OF THE BANQUET TASTED THE WATER THAT HAD BEEN TURNED INTO WINE. He did not
realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water
knew.
(NIV2011)
More Qur’an on
Jesus
Ten Things the Qur’an says about
Allah’s Prophet Jesus.
1)
Sura 19:23-26 –
Sura 19:30-33 – Sura 42:13 - Jesus was a messenger of God and a Prophet of
Islam
2)
Sura 3:52 – Sura
5:11
- Jesus preached and a number of people became Muslims. NOTE: The followers
of Jesus are Muslims.
3)
Sura 3:55 – Allah
promises Jesus that His followers would be victorious and superior to the
unbelievers until the day of the resurrection.
4)
There is no record from the 1st through the 5th
century of Muslims followers of Jesus – What happened to these followers? Did
their belief become corrupted by Allah and they became Christians. Interestingly, “The Gospel” survived; was
copied, re-copied and passed down through the ages, but there is no record of
these Muslims, if they even existed.
5)
Sura 61:14 – Allah helped
strengthen the followers of Jesus to gain the upper hand over the Jews. Some Jews believed in Jesus and some did not,
but the Christian follower’s message became powerful.
6)
Sura 61:14 – The only
followers of Jesus that became more powerful than the Jews were the Christians
who believed and taught Jesus’s death, resurrection and Deity.
7)
Sura 3:3 - The Torah;
(the Law) and the Gospel was given as a guidance for the people.
8)
Sura 10:94 –
Sura 7:157 – Sura 5:47 – Allah said, “Don’t doubt what is told you; go
to the people of the book; the Jews and the Christians that were before you”. Note: Christians still possessed “The Gospel”
in Muhammad’s time. The Qur’an demands
that Christians judge matters based on what they find in “The Gospel”.
9)
If there was a first century Gospel that was
fundamentally different or corrupted from the NT Gospel, it must have been lost,
because it does not exist. There is no
book that matches up with what Islam teaches.
10) Sura 4:157-158 – Jesus did not die on the cross, Allah
raised him up to himself. Allah tricked
the Jews into believing that Jesus was crucified and died on the cross. Note:
You can conclude that Allah caused Christianity to flourish and become
the largest religion in the world with billions of believing followers.
FAKE PROPAGANDA: The reason the followers of Jesus got the idea
that Jesus died on the cross was because Allah tricked them
into believing it; WHAT? Does
Allah trick people into believing false Prophets? If
Allah tricks the Prophets followers, why could he not also trick the followers
of Muhammad? Is Allah a deceiver God? SELAH; think about that.
Ponder
this;
why would Allah lead the followers of his prophet Jesus astray after He had
preached some 33 years, even from His birth? This caused them to commit Shari’a.
(Leaving the path) What was the purpose? The
only good thing that came out of destroying the works of Jesus was Christianity.
Allah’s Message
Sura 10:64 – They shall
have good news in this world’s life and the hereafter, there is no changing the
words of Allah
NOTE: Allah SENDS Jesus, gives Him a virgin birth,
has him speaking right after birth, lives the most miraculous life in history, RAISES HIM to himself THEN DESTROYS everything Jesus worked for. Allah overthrows and corrupts
his own message and deceives Jesus’ followers for no reason, thus you can
conclude that Allah
is powerless to protect his own message.
Sura 3:3 Allah reveals
the al-Fatiha, the opening
of “the
book” to Jesus who passes it on to his followers and then Allah
corrupts the message
NOTE: Allah
could not protect the message of Jesus from being corrupted, and actually
helped thru trickery. Muslims believe
that the Bible has been corrupted because it contradicts the teachings of
Islam.
There were two sorts of people around in the first century:
1)
The people who are rejecting one of Allah’s
messengers and;
2)
Those who believe the corrupt version and are bowing down to Him and calling Him Lord;
believing that HE DIED ON THE CROSS FOR
THEIR SINS.
Muslims view is a high
respect for Jesus, but believe He accomplished nothing that lasted and that the
followers He chose were totally corrupted.
Christian View. God was successful and “His Will”
was performed every step of the way.
God does protect His message and it does accomplish what it was sent
to do.
Isaiah 46:9-10 - I will accomplish all my purpose,
9 for I am God, and there is no other; I am God,
and there is none like me,
10 declaring the end from the
beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND, AND I WILL ACCOMPLISH ALL
MY PURPOSE,’
(ESV)
Matthew 5:17-18 - Not one word will pass
away
17 Think not that I came to destroy
the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, till
heaven and earth pass away,
ONE JOT OR ONE
TITTLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS AWAY from the law,
till all things be accomplished.
(ASV)
Three
things you should know about Allah
#1 Allah - Tricked the Jews
Islam denies the crucifixion of Jesus
ever took place, then why do so many believe that He was
crucified, dead and buried? It was because;
Allah did an excellent job of tricking everybody, he disguised someone to look
exactly like Jesus.
The Qur’an says to judge by THE GOSPEL. The Gospel says that Jesus died on the Cross; The Qur’an says that Jesus didn’t die on the Cross.
Therefore we must judge that Islam is
false because the Qur’an contradicts the Gospel which Allah upholds.
*** Sura 4:157 They (the Jews) said (in boast), “We
killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah,” but they killed him not, nor crucified him,
but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are
full of
doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture
to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.
#2 Allah - Gospel is
Corrupted
Muhammad says that the Gospel
has been corrupted.
NOTE; If the Gospel
was corrupted, Allah did not know about it; here is what he said.
*** Sura 5:47 – Let the People
of “the
Gospel” judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of)
what Allah
hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel.
#3 Allah - Commands to
fight
Muslims are commanded to fight the Jews and
Christians until they pay tribute to them and feel themselves subdued;
acknowledge their inferiority and accept their statues as second class citizens
not having the same rights as Muslims.
Islam is not like
other religions. Christians do
not believe that if you leave the Christian faith you should be killed for it,
nor if you draw a picture of Jesus Christ you should be killed; nor do they
believe that women should be treated as second class citizens.
Islam is totally not like any other religion.
***
Sura 9:29 – Fight those who do not believe in Allah
29 FIGHT those who BELIEVE NOT in Allah nor the Last
Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His
Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the
Book (Jews and Christians), until they pay the
Jizyah (Muslim tax) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued
Qur’an on Mary
No
woman’s name is mentioned in the Qur’an except Mariam; Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Chapter 3 In the Qur’an is named the “Family of
Mariam”; verses 34 and onward says Mary was born without original sin; she
never sinned and was always a VIRGIN.
The Islamic
Qur’an refers explicitly to Jesus’ Virgin conception; “The Lord breathed on her His Spirit,” “Jesus would be without fault;” Sinless. Jesus is
regarded as the Son of the Virgin Mary who was begotten by the creative WORD of God.”
WHY IS THAT?
Chapter 19 in the Qur’an;
the title or name of the chapter is “Mariam” meaning Mary.
Chapter 50, verse 23 the Assumption of Mary
is written about in the holy Qur’an where it says she went to heaven in her physical body.
The Assumption
of the Virgin Mary into Heaven; the Falling Asleep of the
Blessed Virgin Mary or shortened to the term “The Assumption”. According to the beliefs of the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental
Orthodoxy, and parts of Anglicanism; the Virgin Mary was bodily taken up
into Heaven at the end of her earthly life. Note: The Assumption of Mary is not found in the Protestant Bible.
Muslims believe that Jesus the son of Mary said; “I am a messenger
of “Allah”,
bringing good tidings of a messenger who
comes after me, whose name is ‘The Praised One”, Muhammad”.
*** Sura 5:75 – Jesus was just one of many messengers of Allah
Christ, the son of Mary was no more than a messenger. Many were the
messengers that passed away before him.

Born a
Muslim
The Muslim faith is a Life
immersed in prayer and devotion; they have Strong Moral Principals. Muslims are
Monotheistic; they
believe in One God. They have tight knit families that are taught
from childhood, the “One God” Allah and Muhammad is His messenger. Converting to Christianity would be like stabbing
your parents in the heart; betrayal.
Muslims believe that performing the Five Pillars pleases
Allah and that performing these works get favor from him. You are the slave of Allah, your deeds are to
please him. If you are a good Muslims
you will go to heaven.
About a year ago in my Bible
Study group, Majid
my Muslim friend gave his testimony about how he came to embrace the Christian
Faith and he made this STUNNING statement that
took me back; “YOU
I leaned forward in my chair, the room became silent. Majid shared that he had been a devout Muslim all of his life, studied the Qur’an and prayed five times a
day, and held to the Five Pillars of
Islam, but still had a yearning in his heart for God. WHY WAS THAT?
MUSLIMS worship the God
of Ishmael,
the son of Abraham and Hagar; a slave woman.
CHRISTIANS worship the God
of Isaac
the son of Abraham and Sarah his wife. Both claim the Covenant Promise of God.; Majid
thought; “BOTH CAN’T BE
Majid
bought a Bible and in SECRET studied it to
see what Christianity was all about. What
Majid
found was far different than that of the Qur’an and he went back and forth trying to
grasp the simplicity of Christianity and its teaching to love
your enemies.
At some point Majid came to believe that the Bible held the MOST TRUTH and knowing the cost, he gave his heart to
Jesus Christ. For the Muslim to convert
to Christianity was considered blasphemy and he was worse than an INFINDEL and the penalty was DEATH.
Majid made a PUBLIC
PROFESSION of
his faith and took a Christian wife. His
family disowned him and he received death threats. What he had to give up to become a Christian
made me sit back in my chair STUNNED; I gave up nothing; obviously this
is a BIG DEAL.
Think about the family you were born into,
if your family believes in a god, you would believe in the same god that they
did. I don’t have a testimony of
redemption, I was born into a Christian family and knew I wanted Christ at the
age of Nine and a half although I didn’t fully understand the Virgin Birth of
Jesus; nor His death and resurrection or even how His dying on the cross could
take away my sins; BUT I believed it did. I would be 35 before I put it all
together. I was born DEAD IN MY SINS and God put the Holy Spirit in me and opened my heart TO DESIRE HIM.
Through the Holy Spirit, GOD that PUT THE DESIRE in Majid’s
heart; and he accepted knowing the cost could be his very own life. What an INCREDABLE
DESIRE for
God; it cost Majid everything.
John 6:37 – The
one who comes will certainly not be cast out
37 All that
the Father gives Me will come to Me, and
THE ONE WHO COMES TO ME I
WILL CERTAINLY NOT CAST OUT.

Qur’an on the Bible
Muslims
believe it is the will of God for Islam to rule the world. Islamic law stipulates that to fulfill
Muhammad’s task, every “infidel domain” must be considered a territory of
war. (Moris Farhi author; The
Last Days)
The Qur’an teaches to KILL the
infidel; all unbelievers of Allah.
The Bible teaches to love
God and LOVE
your enemies.
CHRISTIAN BELIEFS - For Christianity to be True:
1)
Jesus
is Lord –
Qur’an says Jesus is not God.
2)
Died
for our Sins[9] – Qur’an says Jesus
did not die, but was only made to appear so.
3)
He
rose from the dead on the third day[10] – Qur’an says He
did not rise from the dead.
These three things have been proven true by historians
with tens of thousands of manuscripts.
***
Hadith 9:57 – Kill the infidel
57 Whoever changes
his Islamic religion should be KILLED.
***
Sura 9:5 – Lie in wait, seize and slay the idolaters
5 When the sacred
months have passed, SLAY the idolaters
wherever ye find them, seize them; lie in wait for them.
Matthew 22:37-40
– Only TWO Commandment; both are LOVE
37`LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the FIRST and greatest commandment
39 And the SECOND is like it: `LOVE
your neighbor as yourself.'
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two
commandments."
Luke
27 "But I tell you who hear me: LOVE
your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
NIV

Sura 112 – Allah has no begotten Son
112 He is God,
The One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute;
He BEGETTETH
NOT,
nor is he begotten; and there is none like
unto Him
Mark 14:61-62 – Jesus is Lord; the Son of
God
61 But Jesus remained silent and
gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him,
“ARE YOU THE
MESSIAH, THE SON OF THE BLESSED ONE?”
62 I AM,” said Jesus. “And you will see
the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the
clouds of heaven.”
NIV
***
Sura 4:157 – Jesus did not die on the Cross
157 Jesus did not die on the cross, but was made to appear so.
Philippians 2:6-8 - Jesus died for our
sins on the Cross
6Though he was God, he did not
think of equality with God as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine
privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human
being. When he appeared in human form,
8 He humbled himself in obedience
to God and DIED a criminal’s DEATH ON A CROSS. (NLT)
Qur’an on Paradise
Description of Paradise as promised in
the Quran: There will be RIVERS OF WINE in
paradise to compensate for what was forbidden on earth. The Qur’an says that wine is forbidden; it's forbidden in any Islamic society on earth to
drink alcohol, why is it permitted in Paradise?
Paradise is referred to as Gardens where the Pious, righteous and good
Muslims will be, they are told that it is BY THEIR WORKS that
they are in paradise, not by their faith
or the grace of God. They
will recline on beds arranged in ranks married to lovely women.
The Hadith says each man
will have between 70 and 100 VIRGIN women each
day.
The Bible says nothing
like that; we will be like the angels; we will not marry. We will not be enjoying
women, but enjoying
God who will come down from Heaven to be with us FACE to FACE.[11]
The
Quran; Paradise is all SENSUAL with rivers of WINE and SEX in full detail.
The
Bible: Paradise is all SPIRITUAL with a river of life with crystal clear waters and trees of life.[12]
The Heart of Islam is not to KNOW God, but to OBEY Him. It’s not to MEDITATE on His essence, but to SUMMIT to
His will; it’s a religion of the WORKS of man,
not the GRACE
of God.
***
Sura 47:15 – Paradise; Rivers of Wine
15 There are rivers of water that taste and smell
of which are not changed. Rivers of milk, of which the taste never changes.
RIVERS OF WINE, delicious to
those who drink. And rivers of clarified honey. There are in for them in every
kind of fruit, and forgiveness from their lord.
***
Sura 52:17 – Paradise; Reward because of Works
17 Verily, the will be in gardens, and the
delight, enjoying in that which their lord has bestowed on them. And their lord
saved them from the torment of the blazing fire, eat and drink with happiness
because of what you used to do. They would
RECLINE ON BEDS, ARRANGED IN RANKS, AND
WE SHALL MARRY THEM TO FAIR WOMEN WITH WIDE, LOVELY EYES.
Matthew 22:29-30 – Paradise; we will be
like the Angels
29 But Jesus answered them, “YOU ARE WRONG, because you know neither the
Scriptures nor the power of God.
30 For in
the resurrection they NEITHER MARRY nor are given in marriage, but are like
angels in heaven. (ESV)
ISLAM
John 10:10 – MUHAMMAD says to KILL, Steal
and Destroy
10 THE THIEF COMES ONLY TO STEAL AND KILL AND DESTROY.
I came that they
may have life and have it abundantly. (ESV)
***
Qur’an Sura 9:5 – KILL the unbelievers
5 When the sacred months have passed, slay
the idolaters wherever ye find them, seize them; lie in wait for them in every
stratagem (of war).
CHRISTIANITY
John 10:10 – Jesus comes to give life
& give it more abundantly
10 THE THIEF COMES ONLY TO STEAL AND KILL AND DESTROY.
I came that they
may have
LIFE and have it abundantly. (ESV)
Matthew 5:43-44 - Love and Pray for your
enemies
43 Ye have heard that it was
said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy: but I say unto you,
44 LOVE your enemies, and PRAY for them that
persecute you;
WOMEN
in ISLAM
SIN
Islam – WOMEN are the major
cause of Evil.
Christianity – ALL have
sinned and come short of the Glory of God; Men and Women.
SALVATION
Islam – Hadith 1:28 - The Prophet said; I was shown
the Hell-fire and the majority of its dwellers were WOMEN who were
ungrateful… to their husbands.
Christianity – Salvation is
gained the
same way for both men and women. BELIEVE on the name of
the LORD JESUS CHRIST and you will be saved
from Hell fire. The wages of
sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
LOVE
Islam - Sura 19:96 - Allah has no affection for any creature;
love is conditional on good works.
Christianity - The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to
anger, and abounding in steadfast love
and faithfulness. By His grace you have been saved through your faith and not a result of your works, it is the free gift of God. For God so loved the world that He gave His
Only Son for us.
HEAVEN
Islam - Hadith 6:402 – MAIDENS are kept in
separate corners of a “Pavilion of Pleasure” where men can visit them.
Christianity - When Men and Women enter
heaven, they will not marry, but will be like the angels.
INTELLIGENCE
Islam – Hadith 1:301 – The deficiency of her
intelligence; WOMEN have less intelligence than men.
Christianity – Women are
created equal to men, but both have distinctive roles.
EQUALITY
Islam – Hadith 1:301 - Is not the evidence of TWO WOMEN equal to the
witness of one man?
Christianity – Women have
equal testimony to that of a man.
MARRIAGE
Islam – Sura 4:3 – A man may marry four wives,
whereas a WOMAN may have one husband and thus sexual relations
with only one man.
Christianity – Man shall hold
fast and marry one
woman and the two shall become one flesh.
SUBMISSION
Islam – Sura 4:34 – Men are in charge of WOMEN…. As for those
whom ye fear rebellion scourge them.
Christianity – Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the
Lord. For the husband is the head of the
wife even as Christ is the head of the man. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up
for her. In the same way husbands should
love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
Here’s where we are
We have separated ourselves
from God; our loving Father, through our sins. Out of His love for us, God has offered us a
way back to Him; FOREVER. If we but follow Him, we will have: life, love,
hope, meaning, joy, purpose and Peace; God is all these things.
Did you see it; Muslims
are being brought
to America by God so they can
hear this Gospel
Message. There are hundreds of testimonies on “You Tube” of Muslims converting to Christianity.

Questions:
Q - How did God create the Universe?
A - The Qur’an says God created it through the WORD.
Q - Is the WORD of God Creator or Creation?
A - The Qur’an says Jesus is the WORD OF GOD; the Creator.
CONCLUSION: If Jesus is the
Creator, then Muslims must become Christians and follow Jesus.
Repentance
Prayer: God almighty I have no peace; a broken heart, whatever name I call
you, I love you… I do not doubt. I
have been taught that you never visit human beings and I will not know if I am
forgiven until the Day of Judgment. If there is hope and healing in the name of Jesus Christ,
my heart is seeking and calling out. If you are THE
WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, then I want to receive it right now.
John 14:6 - No one comes to God except
through Jesus
6 Jesus said to him,
“I AM THE WAY,
AND THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.
NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME. (ESV)
