Here is the Muslim view on Christian thought. Of question are the chosen twelve apostles of Jesus, several female disciples including Mary Magdalene, his mother and brothers, the apostle Paul who came along later, disciples Timothy, Barnabas, Mark, Luke, along with hundreds of other people who died martyrs for their faith in Jesus. Of question also is some Book of knowledge Jesus supposedly had. Muslims would believe that the apostles, who were chosen to follow Jesus by Jesus himself, later discarded the Book of knowledge, knowing full well that the fire of hell was their destination; next they all decided to write their own version of events as to the life of Jesus and his ministry falsifying events so that it fell into some scheme to deceive all the peoples of the world; next these apostles all ministered to the peoples these false teachings; next these apostles all died for this falsified story of Jesus, none recanting but all dying horrible deaths taking their false stories to the grave with them. Muslims would believe that the apostles, who were chosen by Jesus and followed Jesus throughout his life on earth, would all die for a false story which they invented on their own. How Stupid Is This Belief!? Would you, after meeting a servant of God and following this servant of God, receiving a Book of knowledge (supposedly), having seen Jesus' miracles, having heard Jesus' wisdom and proverbs, having known Jesus personally as a servant of God, later discard the Book, reject Jesus, invent your own story and die for it, knowing you would go to Hell on top of everything?! Would you do such a thing? How Ridiculous to even conceive such a belief. Is it not more likely and plausible that the apostles all wrote of the things they actually witnessed and believed in? After having seen Jesus, the miracles that he did, his death on the cross and later resurrection; is it not more likely that the apostles and the hundreds of other followers of Jesus, would actually write the truth and later be murdered for their beliefs? Is it not more likely they knew they would see paradise and heaven and died for their faith in Jesus? Truly this is more likely.

If Jesus had written his own testimony, it would be counted worthless. If I, myself write that I went to heaven and saw God, would you believe me? If I wrote to you that I died and rose again, would you believe me? Why should you? Why would anyone believe the word of one man? But now, say many witnessed Jesus’ ministry on earth; many saw his miracles; many heard his words and his sayings, his proverbs and his wisdom; many saw Jesus fulfill his words by going to the cross, dying and later rising to life again on the third day; many saw him later ascend to heaven after his resurrection from the dead; that many would then write about all of this, that many would write the same accounts of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus; that many would later be murdered for what they Saw, Heard and Believed. Is this not more believable? Having many witnesses only proves the gospels of Jesus just as they are written in the Bible. This is the manner by which God chose to communicate to the world, the life, works, death and resurrection of his servant Jesus. Why? Because witnesses count. Witnesses are key to anyone's testimony. (the test of two to three witnesses, Deuteronomy 19:15, 17:6, Mathew 18:16, John 8:13-18) (Quran, test of two to four witnesses, sura 4:15)

The fact that the Quran denies the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus only shows me that the writers of the Quran falsified this fact, (sura 4:157). Regardless of whether the Quran was written by angels (fallen?) and handed to Muhammad; the Quran has No witnesses to its claims. The Quran stands by itself. The gospels of Jesus stand by many witnesses. Having witnesses is a biblical truth and God expects a person to believe another who has a minimum of two to three witnesses (testimonies) and obviously Jesus had hundreds. God will not hold a person guilty for believing a story which has many witnesses. On the other hand, God may hold a person guilty for believing in a book that has no witnesses and calls a lie an account which has many witnesses.

God bless you through Jesus Christ our servant of God. For God chose Jesus to serve as a sacrifice for our sins and we may go to God believing this. It is through this sacrifice that we are justified and have access to God.

Woe to you! And then woe to you! Again, woe to you! And then woe to you!

Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled (withour purpose)?

Was he not a drop of sprem emitted (In lowly form) ?

Then did he become a leech-like colt; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due pro-portion.

 

And of him He made two sexes, male and female.

 

Has not He, (the same) the power to give life to the dead.

(Surah Al-Qiyamat verses 34:40)

Never think you will be left alone. This is not a word of mine or any other human being these are  from the creator and the lord of you and everybody and the Lord of creations (Allah) the one and only god there is none can be wropshipped except him and Mohamed (Peace be upon Him) his messanger.

Wait till the date comes to you and we are all waiting for our date that is the "Judgement day"

 

Allahu akbar

Biblical Prophecies on the Advent of
Muhammad(pbuh) ,the Prophet of Islam

The Biblical prophecies on the advent of the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) are evidence of the truth of Islam for people who believe in the Bible.


In Deuteronomy 18, Moses stated that God told him: ?I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.? (Deuteronomy 18:18-19).1

From these verses we conclude that the prophet in this prophecy must have the following three characteristics:

1) That he will be like Moses.

2) That he will come from the brothers of the Israelites, i.e. the Ishmaelites.

3) That God will put His words in to the mouth of this prophet and that he will declare what God commands him.

Let us examine these three characteristics in more depth:

1) A prophet like Moses:
There were hardly any two prophets who were so much alike as Moses and Muhammad(pbuh) . Both were given a comprehensive law and code of life. Both encountered their enemies and were victorious in miraculous ways. Both were accepted as prophets and statesmen. Both migrated following conspiracies to ******inate them. Analogies between Moses and Jesus overlook not only the above similarities but other crucial ones as well. These include the natural birth, the family life, and death of Moses and Muhammad but not of Jesus. Moreover Jesus was regarded by his followers as the Son of God and not exclusively as a prophet of God, as Moses and Muhammad were and as Muslims believe Jesus was. So, this prophecy refers to the Prophet Muhammad and not to Jesus, because Muhammad is more like Moses than Jesus.

Also, one notices from the Gospel of John that the Jews were waiting for the fulfillment of three distinct prophecies. The first was the coming of Christ. The second was the coming of Elijah. The third was the coming of the Prophet. This is obvious from the three questions that were posed to John the Baptist: ?Now this was John?s testimony, when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, ?I am not the Christ.? They asked him, ?Then who are you? Are you Elijah?? He said, ?I am not.? ?Are you the Prophet?? He answered, ?No.? (John 1:19-21). If we look in a Bible with cross-references, we will find in the marginal notes where the words ?the Prophet? occur in John 1:21, that these words refer to the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18.2 We conclude from this that Jesus Christ is not the prophet mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:18.

2) From the brothers of the Israelites:
Abraham had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac (Genesis 21). Ishmael became the grandfather of the Arab nation, and Isaac became the grandfather of the Jewish nation. The prophet spoken of was not to come from among the Jews themselves, but from among their brothers, i.e. the Ishmaelites. Muhammad , a descendant of Ishmael, is indeed this prophet.

Also, Isaiah 42:1-13 speaks of the servant of God, His ?chosen one? and ?messenger? who will bring down a law. ?He will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope.? (Isaiah 42:4). Verse 11, connects that awaited one with the descendants of Kedar. Who is Kedar? According to Genesis 25:13, Kedar was the second son of Ishmael, the ancestor of the Prophet Muhammad .

3) God will put His words in the mouth of this prophet:
The words of God (the Holy Quran) were truly put into Muhammad?s mouth. God sent the Angel Gabriel to teach Muhammad the exact words of God (the Holy Quran) and asked him to dictate them to the people as he heard them. The words are therefore not his own. They did not come from his own thoughts, but were put into his mouth by the Angel Gabriel. During the life time of Muhammad , and under his supervision, these words were then memorized and written by his companions.

Also, this prophecy in Deuteronomy mentioned that this prophet will speak the words of God in the name of God. If we looked to the Holy Quran, we will find that all its chapters, except Chapter 9, are preceded or begin with the phrase, ?In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.?


Another indi***ion (other than the prophecy in Deuteronomy) is that Isaiah ties the messenger connected with Kedar with a new song (a scripture in a new language) to be sung to the Lord (Isaiah 42:10-11). This is mentioned more clearly in the prophecy of Isaiah: ?and another tongue, will he speak to this people? (Isaiah 28:11 KJV). Another related point, is that the Quran was revealed in sections over a span of twenty-three years. It is interesting to compare this with Isaiah 28 which speaks of the same thing, ?For it is: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there.? (Isaiah 28:10).

Note that God has said in the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18, ?If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.? (Deuteronomy, 18:19). This means that whoever believes in the Bible must believe in what this prophet says, and this prophet is the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh).
