HOW THE APOSTLE PAUL CAUSES SLEEPLESS NIGHTS FOR MUSLIMS

 HOW THE APOSTLE PAUL CAUSES SLEEPLESS NIGHTS FOR MUSLIMS

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba

Shimba Theological Institute

Among the people who heavily disturb our Muslim brothers and sisters is the hero of the Lord Jesus, the Apostle Paul. This did not start with Muslims alone, but rather began with the keepers of the law during his time—namely the Pharisees, chief priests, scribes, and ordinary Jews who followed Judaism.

Muslims are simply continuing that same spirit of opposition against the saving Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The following are some of the reasons Muslims give for rejecting the Apostle Paul, as extracted from a Facebook post by a Muslim brother.

THE CLAIMS AND RESPONSES

ONE: They claim he commanded people not to be circumcised, which is why many Christians today are uncircumcised.

ANSWER:

Circumcision is a standard health matter and has no bearing on going to heaven. That is, if you choose to get circumcised, it benefits your physical body only, not your spirit. What goes to heaven is the spirit, not the flesh. Whether a body is circumcised or uncircumcised, once dead, it simply rots in the ground. Therefore, God used circumcision as a symbol of spiritual reality rather than physical reality:

(Deut 10:16) Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

(Deut 30:6) And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

(Jer 4:4) Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

TWO: They claim he was a terrorist who killed Jesus' disciples and then claimed to be their apostle to continue killing them ideologically.

ANSWER:

This is a laughable argument. Since when did you care about Jesus' disciples? What do you say about the extremist groups today that kill Christians globally, destroy churches, and force people to follow their deities? Do you condemn them as well?

Paul was a murderer BEFORE knowing Christ, just as ALL OF US were sinners before knowing Christ. And Jesus says:

(Luke 5:31-32) And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Jesus calls sinners so that He can give them new hearts filled with love, compassion, and helpfulness toward others. He did not come to look for a sinless Paul, because no such Paul or human exists. If Paul was a murderer, the one who had the right to complain was Jesus Christ Himself, not you who harbour hatred against Paul.

THREE: They claim he introduced homosexuality to the world.

ANSWER:

This is a lie straight from the pit of hell. Paul states:

(1 Cor 6:9) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind [homosexuals/sodomites]... shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Examine yourself to see if your claims make any sense. You are only deceiving yourself.

FOUR: They claim he said alcohol is a medicine for diseases.

ANSWER:

This is another lie from the pit of hell. What Paul actually said was to use a little wine for the stomach:

(1 Tim 5:23) Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

Paul is not talking about drinking local brews (kimpumu, mbege, kangara, komoni) or commercial beer for refreshment or thirst. He says: "A little wine!" And that little wine is for a specific purpose—stomach ailments.

This means if you are not sick and just want wine, you are simply a drunkard. Your desire is not healing, but alcohol. Furthermore, in today's world, modern medications for stomach issues are widely available.

It is the very same Paul who says in Ephesians 5:18: "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit."

FIVE: They claim he said God does not look at the body but the spirit, which is why Christians walk half-naked, even in churches.

ANSWER:

First, Paul is not the only one who emphasizes the spirit over the body. Jesus Himself said:

(Matt 23:25-27) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

Second, it is false that Paul, Jesus, or the Bible approves of nudity. Paul states:

(1 Cor 8:13) Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

This means if doing something causes others to stumble and sin, judgment falls on you—even if the act itself were harmless like eating food, let alone walking around naked!

Are you unaware that the same Paul wrote this?

(1 Tim 2:9) In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.

And Jesus said:

(Matt 18:7) Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

SIX: They claim he said people should greet each other with a kiss and called it holy.

ANSWER:

When someone hates you, they will find fault with whatever you do. The issue is not the action itself, but the hatred in their heart.

Do you not know the difference between something holy and something unholy? If I tell you, "Drink clean water," where is the harm? Am I not telling you, "Do not drink dirty water"?

Paul instructed people to greet one another with a holy kiss. If the kiss is holy, what is your issue with it?

SEVEN: They claim he was the only one who declared all food permissible.

ANSWER:

Paul was not the only one. Jesus said the exact same thing:

(Matt 15:17-20) Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

Every culture has its own diet. If some eat dogs, let them eat. If you do not, do not judge them. If others eat snakes, frogs, or snails, let them. Even for you who eat cake, whatever enters the stomach does not enter the spirit—it ends up in the toilet!

EIGHT: They claim he introduced a mixed/syncretic religion called Christianity.

ANSWER:

We follow Jesus Christ just as Paul followed Jesus Christ. Do you know Paul better than Peter, who lived in his time, met him face-to-face, and evaluated his teachings?

Peter writes:

(2 Peter 3:15-17) And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

If someone chooses to listen to an opponent of Paul rather than the Apostle Peter, that is on their own soul. But we will not stop listening to faithful servants of Jesus Christ to entertain groundless hatred against God's truth.

NINE: They claim he was the only one who claimed Jesus is Almighty God while Jesus denied it.

ANSWER:

Did Paul write the book of Isaiah?

(Isaiah 9:6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Did Paul write the Gospel of John?

(John 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

TEN: They claim he was the only one who brought the gospel to the Gentiles, whereas it was meant for Israelites only.

ANSWER:

Centuries prior, the God of Israel had already declared this. Listen to what Jesus Himself says:

(Matt 28:19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

(John 3:17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

(John 12:47) And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

(John 10:15-16) ...and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

(Matt 24:14) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

ELEVEN: They claim he was the only one who insulted the law by calling it a curse.

ANSWER:

The law itself is not a curse. However, because human beings lack the ability to fulfill all of it, they end up bearing a curse. When the law says "Do not steal," stealing is what brings a curse upon the thief, not the word of the law itself. When you steal, it is you—the thief—who becomes cursed, not the law that prohibited stealing!

Now hear what Paul himself says about the law:

(Romans 7:12-13) Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good...

Claiming that Paul called the law a curse is a lie, a fabrication, and a distortion of Scripture.

TWELVE: They claim Paul abolished the law and demanded it no longer be used, whereas Jesus said: "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." (Matt 5:18)

ANSWER:

If I tell you, "This debt will not be forgiven until you pay every last cent," does that mean the debt is eternal or that it has an end?

It takes no deep expertise to realize this means the obligation ends once it is fully paid. That is what Jesus means in that verse: Not a single word of the law will pass until all is fulfilled. An entry reaches its fulfillment once completed. For example, the law prophesied that Jesus would be born:

(Matt 2:6) And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

Now, if you still cling to "He WILL come, He WILL come, He WILL come" simply because it was written that not a single jot will pass, then you have missed the point entirely. That prophecy HAS BEEN FULFILLED.

By the logic of those twisting Scripture, if you tell them Jesus was already born, they would rely on Matthew 5:18 to claim "No, Jesus said the word does not pass, so it remains unfulfilled."

HOW LONG WILL YOU BE DECEIVED?

HOW LONG WILL YOU EMBRACE DESTRUCTION?

Hatred darkens a person's heart so much that they cannot see ahead. They then invent lies against others and believe their own fabrications to gain a false sense of peace that they are right.

And the word of the prophet Isaiah is fulfilled in them, saying: "Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive." (Matt 13:14)

ISLAM DISRESPECTS AFRICANS

 ISLAM DISRESPECTS AFRICANS

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute He is Neither BLACK nor AFRICAN

A person's skin color has often been used as a criteria for religion. Islamic activists have been trying to persuade African Americans that Islam is the religion of the black man, that Islam is an African religion, and that Muhammad was black. Needless to say, Muslims make these claims only to black people; they use a different approach with white people!

Knowing that these are carefully thought-out, deceptive ideas intended to draw black people into Islam, I felt compelled to make the truth clear. Nothing in this article aligns with this racist perspective. Whether we accept or reject Islam, it should be based on the true attributes of Islam itself, not on a person's skin color or origin.

My primary source of information for this article, besides the Quran, is the sacred Islamic texts known as the "Hadith," which record the deeds and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad of Islam as narrated by "Sahih al-Bukhari" and "Sahih Muslim."

AFRICA WAS NOT THE BIRTHPLACE OF ISLAM Islam was born in the 7th century in the Arabian Peninsula, which was part of the Asian continent. Yellow Asia and Black Africa are separated by the Red Sea. Here we are talking about two different continents and two different skin colors.

Islam came to Africa not too long ago, and it is not the dominant religion in Africa. It is highly likely that African Americans were either Christians or followers of traditional religions when they were brought to America.

Christianity has existed in Africa since the first half of the first century. Saint Mark, the author of the Gospel of Mark, was a North African Jew who preached the Gospel in Egypt. From there, Christianity spread throughout North Africa and south of the Egyptian borders. The Eastern Church granted sainthood to many black people—for example, Saint Moses the Black, Saint Tekle Haymanot the Ethiopian, and others. One of the teachers and prophets in the early church was "Simeon called Niger," and Niger means a black person in Latin (Acts 13:1). The eastern part of Africa was converted to Christianity through the ministry of the treasurer of Queen Candace of Ethiopia, who was baptized by Philip the Evangelist (Acts 8:26-40).

MUHAMMAD WAS NOT BLACK Muhammad was an Asian Arab. You cannot confuse an Asian Arab with a black person. There is ample evidence that Muhammad was white. Due to limited space, we will mention only a few proofs.

In Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Hadith No. 63, we read: "While we were sitting with the Prophet, a man came and said, 'Which of you is Muhammad?' We replied, 'This white man reclining on his arm...'"

In Volume 2, Hadith No. 122, Muhammad is referred to as a "white man," and in Volume 2, Hadith No. 141, we are told that when Muhammad raised his hands, "the whiteness of his armpits was visible."

MUHAMMAD OWNED BLACK SLAVES Muhammad viewed black people as slaves. He even owned several black slaves. Bilal, Abu Hurairah, Usama ibn Zayd, and a "Ghulam" (young boy) named Rabbah were among Muhammad's slaves.

Even today, in Saudi Arabia—the motherland of Islam—the common word for a "black person" is "Abd," which means slave.

What was Muhammad's view on freeing slaves? There is an instance where a man set free a slave who was his sexual partner. When Muhammad heard what had happened, he auctioned the boy off and sold him for 800 dirhams to Na'im ibn Abdillah Al-Nahham (Sahih Muslim, Volume 7, p. 83).

According to Muhammad, the punishment for adultery differed among a free man, a free woman, and a female slave. A man was to receive one hundred lashes and be exiled from the community for one year. A free woman was to be stoned to death. But a female slave (because she held financial value) was neither exiled nor killed; instead, she received one hundred lashes. If the offense was repeated, the female slave was sold (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 8: 821, 822).

ISLAM DISRESPECTED BLACK PEOPLE Islam is a religion whose sacred scriptures contain words that explicitly humiliate black people.

Muhammad referred to black people as "raisin heads" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 1, No. 662 and Volume 9, No. 256).

In an authenticated Hadith, Muhammad is quoted as saying: "Black people steal when they are hungry, and commit adultery when they are full" (Sahih Muslim).

In another Hadith, Muhammad is quoted as saying: "You must obey the Imam (leader) even if he is a slave with a flat nose" (referring to a black person). See Sahih Muslim, Volume 9, pp. 46 and 47.

ISLAM IS NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR FREEDOM AND EQUALITY Even if we mistakenly assume that Islam originated in Africa and that its Prophet was black, this alone would not be a good reason for black people to adopt Islam.

Nor would it be a good reason for white people to adopt Islam simply because Muhammad was white. We must look at Islam itself.

I would not want to be a Muslim because Islam opposes freedom—something that is very close to the hearts and minds of African Americans, considering the oppression they suffered in the past.

One thing Islam does not believe in is religious freedom. If Islam were to take over America, there would be no religious freedom. The Quran states: "And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers" (Surah 3:85).

Many teachings of Islam are incompatible with progress and modern times. They are also incompatible with human rights, civil rights, or constitutional rights.

Here are a few examples from Islam:

• Men are superior to women (Surah 2:228)

• Women have half the rights of men:

  • Rights of witness testimony in court (Surah 2:282)

  • Inheritance rights (Surah 4:11)

• A man may beat his wife (Surah 4:34)

• A man may marry up to four wives at a time (Surah 4:3)

• Muslims must fight until their opponents submit to Islam (Surah 9:5)

• A Muslim must not take a Jew or a Christian as a friend (Surah 5:51)

• Anyone who apostatizes from Islam must be killed (Surah 9:12)

• Theft is punished by cutting off hands (Surah 5:38)

• Adultery is punished by public flogging (Surah 24:2)

• There is no separation between church [religion] and state (Surah 2:193)

• No opposition is permitted whatsoever (Surah 4:59)

My Fellow African American: By claiming that Islam is the religion of the black man, Islamic activists are merely revealing their true hatred and racism. Do not let this deceive you.

Muslims do not care about the color of your skin; they only use this phrasing to capture you. For if Muslims truly cared about black people, why are black Muslims capturing their fellow black Christian brothers in Sudan today, slaughtering the weak, and selling the healthy into slavery? (See State Department report: Global Network News; May 26, 1993).

Consider, on the other hand, that Jesus Christ came to give us eternal life, where everyone is equal before God.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28).

The difference between Islamic teachings and the teachings of Jesus Christ is vast. The choice is clear, and the choice is yours.

KNOW THE TRUTH FOLLOW THE TRUTH SPREAD THE TRUTH "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). "Stand fast therefore, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage" (Galatians 5:1, 2).

THE LIE OF THE ISLAMIC RELIGION

 THE LIE OF THE ISLAMIC RELIGION

We believe that when you carefully follow this topic, you will obey the word of the true God, live it, and act upon it. A true Christian will not return to religious arguments with pagans who are among the Anti-Christ, referred to as Muslims. This is scriptural research we conducted by comparing the message of the Glorious Qur'an with the Holy Bible, considering that I lived in a mosque and was blessed with grace to know the truth. Welcome, and we wish you a good read.

AT THE VERY BEGINNING We greet you again in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Once again, our God whose name is JEHOVAH has granted us His grace so that we can share together these words of life, namely 'THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD, THE BIBLE'. First of all, I want to let you know that our website is not religious, but rather aimed at blowing the trumpet so that the children of the one and true God can flee from worship that goes against the will of God! We do not care what religion you belong to, what nation you are from, or what language you speak; what we are doing is attempting to examine the holy scriptures and discover their truth! May the Lord God bless you as you become part of searching for the truth.

ARE WE AND MUSLIMS WALKING THE SAME PATH?

Amos 3:3 ‘Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?’ Even a five-year-old child will give you an answer that says NO!!!

Reason No. 1: THEY ARE A RELIGION, BUT WE ARE THE CHURCH

Qur'an 5 (Surah Al-Ma'idah: 2-3): O you who have believed, do not violate the rites of Allah or the sacred month or the sacrificial animals or the garlands or those coming to the Sacred House seeking bounty from their Lord and approval. But when you come out of ihram, then hunt. And do not let the hatred of a people for having obstructed you from Al-Masjid Al-Haram lead you to transgress. And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty. Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and those who die of suffocation, or a blow, or a fall, or being gored, or eaten by a wild beast, unless you slaughter it. And prohibited is that which is sacrificed on stone altars, and to seek decision by divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of your RELIGION; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you ISLAM as your RELIGION. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin—then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Qur'an 4 (Surah An-Nisa: 171): O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your RELIGION or say about Allah except the truth...

What does the Bible say?

Matthew 16:16, 18: Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the CHRIST, the Son of the living God." And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my CHURCH, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

Acts 2:41, 47: Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. Praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to the CHURCH daily those who were being saved.

1 Corinthians 3:23: And you are CHRIST'S, and Christ is God's.

Acts 11:26: and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called CHRISTIANS first at Antioch.

Reason No. 2: ONE GOD

At a quick glance at how Islamic preachers compare verses from the Qur'an and the Bible, you might be persuaded to believe what they teach—claiming that Allah Subhana Wataala is Jehovah. But it is good for us to learn in depth according to the Qur'an and the Bible and see if there is truth in their teachings. Remember that the God we worship warned us Christians by saying:

Exodus 20:1-3: And God spoke all these words: "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me."

This warning from our God saying "you shall have no other gods" implies that other gods worshipped by people exist. Because in the Bible, the Hebrew word for God, "Elohim," and Greek "Theos," is mentioned 3,979 times, but false gods are also mentioned 271 times. Some of these false gods include:

• The god Dagon (Judges 16:23)

• The god Baal (1 Kings 18:21)

• The goddess of the Ephesians named Artemis (Acts 19:24-28)

Furthermore, when reading the Qur'an, it also mentions various gods that were worshipped in Mecca:

Qur'an 53:19-20, 23 (Surah An-Najm): Have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza? And Manat, the third—the other one? These are not but names you have named, you and your forefathers...

Thus, we see that gods worshipped by people are many, and every worshipper relies on their god and calls them one. For example, those who worshipped Dagon said he was one god, those who worshipped Baal said he was one god, and those who worshipped Artemis said Artemis was the supreme god. Likewise, the Prophets served one God named Jehovah, while Muhammad worshipped one god named Allah. What I want to teach society is to know: Is this Allah the same as Jehovah?

What Prophet Moses said: Deuteronomy 6:4: Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.

Prophet Isaiah said: Isaiah 45:18, 21: For this is what the LORD says—he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth... Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me.

Prophet David said: Psalm 86:10: For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.

Jesus said: John 17:3: Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

Paul also said: 1 Corinthians 8:4: So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that "An idol is nothing at all in the world" and that "There is no God but one."

Reason No. 3: THEIR ALLAH IS NOT JEHOVAH GOD

Qur'an 15 (Surah Al-Hijr: 30-39): So the angels prostrated all of them together, except Iblis. He refused to be with those who prostrated. (Allah) said, "O Iblis, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?" He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created from clay on an altered black mud." (Allah) said, "Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled. And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense." He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected." (Allah) said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved until the Day of the time well-known." (Iblis) said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will surely mislead them all."

Qur'an 51 (Surah Adh-Dhariyat: 56): And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

Reason No. 4: ALLAH IS A LESSER GOD UNLIKE JEHOVAH

Qur'an 92 (Surah Al-Layl: 1-3): In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. By the night when it covers! And [by] the day when it appears! And [by] He who created the male and the female! (God swearing by creations)

Qur'an 91 (Surah Ash-Shams: 1-7): By the sun and its brightness. And [by] the moon when it follows it. And [by] the day when it displays it. And [by] the night when it covers it. And [by] the sky and He who constructed it. And [by] the earth and He who spread it. And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it.

Here we see Allah, the god worshipped by Muslims, swearing by the heavens and by the one who constructed them, by the earth and the one who spread it. So who is this spreader of the earth and builder of the heavens? The Qur'an continues to describe:

Qur'an 45 (Surah Al-Jathiyah: 22): And Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth...

Qur'an 44 (Surah Ad-Dukhan: 7-8): Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, if you should be convinced. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.

Here we see Allah, through the Qur'an, stating that God created the heavens and the earth, and again saying there is no deity worthy of worship except Him.

The builder of the heavens and spreader of the earth describes Himself as follows: Isaiah 44:24: "This is what the LORD says—your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, the Maker of all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself."

Our God Jehovah says, "I make all things." (Read Isaiah 45:6-7, 11-12, Jeremiah 27:5). Without a doubt, Jehovah is the creator of all things.

Did God Jehovah swear by the things He created, like Allah?

Isaiah 45:22-23: "Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear."

Hebrews 6:13-16: When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, saying, "I will surely bless you and give you many descendants." And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised. People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.

Here we see our God Jehovah does not swear by a person or by the things He created as Allah swears; rather, Jehovah says, "I swear by myself." You can also read how Jehovah swore by Himself in Isaiah 14:24 and Genesis 22:16.

Here, the one swearing is Allah. Does a person who swears by another become God or a human? Who created whom here? Because Allah swears by the one who created, and creating is one of Jehovah God's attributes; it turns out Allah created nothing!

Reason No. 5: THEIR GOD IS A LIAR!

When we carefully examine the holy Islamic texts (Qur'an) and the Holy Scriptures (Bible), we find these two figures to be vastly different.

Starting with the Qur'an, here are clear truths: The Allah of the Qur'an denies and rejects Jesus Christ as the Son of God (Jehovah).

Qur'an 19 (Surah Maryam: 35): It is not befitting for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

Qur'an 112 (Surah Al-Ikhlas: 1-4): Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent."

According to this verse, Allah says he neither begets nor is born, nor is there any comparison to him among people. Jehovah says this about people...

Whenever ignorant people are brought into the web of that Anti-Christ named ALLAH, these are the words of confession to worship and serve him:

In Arabic: Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah.

In Swahili/English: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is his servant and messenger.

What does the Bible say?

1 John 2:22-26: Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us—eternal life. I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.

Colossians 1:13-15: For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

John 3:16-17: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Without a doubt, the Holy Bible clearly exposes the ALLAH of every Muslim as a liar and the Anti-Christ, whom Muslims call Dajjal without many of them knowing that he is the one they worship.

Is the name of God according to the Qur'an and the Bible the same? One fundamental thing that identifies a thing, person, animal, or anything else is a name. Therefore, to know if the God worshipped by Muslims is the same as the one we worship as Christians, we must look at the name. Is it the same?

Qur'an 17 (Surah Bani Isra'il: 110): Say, "Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful [Ar-Rahman]. Whichever [name] you call—to Him belong the best names..."

Here we see Allah teaching Muslims to call upon him by the name Allah or Ar-Rahman. If you read the Qur'an, you will see the name Allah mentioned 2,866 times (the Qur'an has 30 Juz and 114 Surahs). Thus, the God worshipped by Muslims according to the Qur'an is named Allah.

The name of the God worshipped by Christians is this: Exodus 6:2-3: God also said to Moses, "I am the LORD [JEHOVAH]. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD [JEHOVAH] I did not make myself fully known to them."

Here we see the God we Christians worship introducing His name as Jehovah. In the Bible, the word/name LORD is used, meaning the most Holy name of God. In the Bible, this name is mentioned 6,751 times. (The Bible has a total of 66 books, 1,189 chapters, and 31,102 verses).

Reason No. 6: OUR GOD HAS A NAME, BUT THEIRS DOES NOT

One fundamental thing that identifies a thing, person, animal, or anything else is a name. Therefore, to know if the God worshipped by Muslims is the same as the one we worship as Christians, we must look at the name. Is it the same?

Qur'an 17 (Surah Bani Isra'il: 110): Say, "Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful [Ar-Rahman]. Whichever [name] you call—to Him belong the best names..."

Here we see Allah teaching Muslims to call upon him by the name Allah or Rahman. If you read the Qur'an, you will see the name Allah mentioned 2,866 times (the Qur'an has 30 Juz and 114 Surahs). Thus, the God worshipped by Muslims according to the Qur'an is named Allah.

The name of the God worshipped by Christians is this: Exodus 6:2-3: God also said to Moses, "I am the LORD [JEHOVAH]. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD [JEHOVAH] I did not make myself fully known to them."

Here we see the God we Christians worship introducing His name as Jehovah. In the Bible, the word/name LORD is used (in English, LORD), signifying the most Holy name of God. In the Bible, this name is mentioned 6,751 times. Remember, the Bible has a total of 66 books, 1,189 chapters, and 31,102 verses.

Exodus 6:2-3: God also said to Moses, "I am JEHOVAH; I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH I did not make myself known to them."

Psalm 83:18: Let them know that you, whose name is JEHOVAH—that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Psalm 138:2: I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn promise that it surpasses your fame [name].

NB: If you conduct careful research, you will discover that the word GOD is not a name but a title. The word ALLAH in Arabic translates to our Swahili/English language as GOD. Without a doubt, according to the Qur'an and all Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad along with his companions, Allah has no name; rather, it is a title!! Dear Muslim, know that this is the truth that cannot be denied at all.

Reason No. 7: THE MESSAGE IS DIFFERENT

Here, researchers and experts in Islam say that all Prophets according to the Bible teach that God is only one. What did Muhammad (s.a.w.) teach about God? They read these verses from the Qur'an...

Qur'an 41 (Surah Fussilat / Haa Mym Sajdah: 6): Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God..." Here, preachers say that just as all prophets taught one God, so did Muhammad.

Qur'an 29 (Surah Al-Ankabut: 46-47): And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him." And thus We have sent down to you the Book. So those to whom We editingly gave the Scripture believe in it. And among these people are those who believe in it. And none reject Our verses except the disbelievers.

Here, Islamic preachers, after reading these verses, say that the books of the Torah and Gospel do not contradict the Qur'an, and those books were given to Jews and Christians, and the God of Muslims and Christians is one and the same. Is this claim true? I will answer it further ahead.

Reason No. 8: IS ALLAH'S CHIEF ANGEL THE SAME AS JEHOVAH'S?

If Allah is Jehovah, then clearly the archangel would also be the same. If they are not one, then even the archangels will be different. Let us begin by looking at how Allah narrates in the Qur'an:

Qur'an 81 (Surah At-Takwir: 19-21): [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger [Gabriel]. [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

The explanation of these verses inside the Qur'an teaches that: The noble messenger who is obeyed there in heaven is Jibril (Gabriel), who is the chief of all angels.

The chief angel of God Jehovah is this one: Jude 1:9: But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

Here we see the verses clearly teaching us that the chief angel of the God named Allah is called Jibril, while the archangel of our God Jehovah is called Michael. Question: Since these angels are different, is Allah Jehovah?

Genesis 1:26-27: Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Here we see our God Jehovah created man in His image, but Allah says there is none comparable to him at all... Question for you, the reader: Is Allah Jehovah? Please read these verses to know more: Genesis 5:1-2, 9:6, 1 Corinthians 11:7, Colossians 1:15, 3:10, Acts 17:28-29, James 3:9. You might ask, "How am I made in God's image?" Know that God is Spirit (John 4:24), and He gave us the breath/spirit of life (Genesis 2:7). Moreover, God is the Father of our spirits (Hebrews 12:9), and God says our spirits belong to Him (Ezekiel 18:4, Numbers 16:22).

Reason No. 9: IS THE CITY CHOSEN BY ALLAH THE SAME AS THE ONE CHOSEN BY OUR GOD?

Allah's City:

Qur'an 27 (Surah An-Naml: 91): [Say, O Muhammad], "I have only been commanded to worship the Lord of this city [Mecca], which He has sanctified and to Whom belongs all things..."

Qur'an 3 (Surah Ali 'Imran: 96): Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Makkah - blessed and a guidance for the worlds.

Qur'an 106 (Surah Quraysh: 3-4): Let them worship the Lord of this House [Al-Ka'bah], Who has fed them, [saving them] from hunger and made them safe, [saving them] from fear.

Thus, we see that Allah is the lord of the Ka'bah according to this verse, and the Ka'bah is in Mecca. Through these verses, we see Allah, the god worshipped by Muslims, has chosen the city of Mecca to be his holy city, and Muhammad (s.a.w) was commanded to worship the lord of that city of Mecca, who is Allah.

Which city did our God named Jehovah choose? The city chosen by our God Jehovah is this:

2 Chronicles 6:4-6: He said: "Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who with his own hands has fulfilled what he promised with his own mouth to my father David. He said, 'Since the day I brought my people out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built for my Name to be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over my people Israel. But now I have chosen Jerusalem for my Name to be there, and I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.'"

Scripture does not describe any other city chosen by our God here on earth except the city of Jerusalem. (See 2 Chronicles 12:13, Ezra 6:12; 7:15, 27; Psalm 26:8; Zechariah 2:12).

Through these verses, we see that our God Jehovah chose Jerusalem. The word Jerusalem is of Hebrew origin and means "foundation of peace." Even when Israelites were far from the city of Jerusalem, they still knelt and turned their faces toward Jerusalem (See Daniel 6:10). The city Jehovah chose is Jerusalem, while the city Allah chose is Mecca. This is the difference between Allah's city and Jehovah's.

Reason No. 10: DIFFERENCE IN PURIFICATION BETWEEN MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS

How Allah teaches self-purification—is it the same as Jehovah? Allah teaches this:

Qur'an 53 (Surah An-Najm: 32): Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight touches. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure...

Qur'an 12 (Surah Yusuf: 53): "And I do not acquit myself. Indeed, the soul is a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

According to the Qur'an, Allah also has a soul/self (See Qur'an 5:116). So here we see Allah instructing people not to purify their souls, and again saying "I do not acquit/purify my soul." This is very strange!

What our God Jehovah says regarding purifying oneself/holiness:

Isaiah 43:3: For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.

Here we see God saying, "I am holy." This is also an attribute name of our God Jehovah; in Hebrew, it is 'kadosh'. Prophet Isaiah wrote that God is Holy 32 times (read Isaiah 40:25, 48:17, and 57:15). Furthermore, because our God Jehovah is holy, He also commanded us:

Leviticus 11:44: I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean...

Apostle Peter instructs us: 1 Peter 1:15-16: But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."

Apostle Paul also instructed purifying oneself and being holy (2 Corinthians 7:1; see also Leviticus 19:2, 20:26).

Therefore, we see Jehovah commanding us to purify ourselves so that we may be holy, but Allah instructs Muslims not to purify their souls. Question for you, the reader: Is Allah Jehovah?

Reason No. 11: THE CHRISTIAN HEAVEN VS. ALLAH'S PARADISE

Is Jehovah's Heaven the same as Allah's Paradise (heaven)?

Jehovah's Heaven:

Luke 20:34-36: Jesus replied, "The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection."

These scriptures confirm to us Christians that when we are resurrected and enter heaven, there is no marrying or being given in marriage, for we will have spiritual bodies (1 Corinthians 15:43-54). Furthermore, scripture teaches that the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (See Romans 14:17). Our God clearly teaches that in heaven in the kingdom, there is no hunger, thirst, or sun striking them (Revelation 7:16-17).

Allah's Heaven/Paradise and his followers: Allah's Paradise will be as follows:

i). Mansions/Palaces Qur'an 39 (Surah Az-Zumar: 20): But those who have feared their Lord will have chambers, above them chambers built high, beneath which rivers flow. [This is] the promise of Allah. Allah does not fail in His promise.

ii). Rivers of water, milk, wine, honey, and fruits Qur'an 47 (Surah Muhammad: 15): Is the description of Paradise, which the righteous are promised, wherein are rivers of water unaltered, rivers of milk the taste of which never changes, rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and rivers of purified honey, in which they will have from all kinds of fruits and forgiveness from their Lord, [like that of those who abide eternally in the Fire and are given to drink scalding water that will sever their intestines]?

Where are these fruits similar to? Qur'an 2 (Surah Al-Baqarah: 25): And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens in which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And they are given things in resemblance; and they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally.

iii). Women of these types and bird meat Qur'an 56 (Surah Al-Waqi'ah: 21-23): And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire. And [there will be] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, the likenesses of pearls well-protected.

Qur'an 37 (Surah As-Saffat: 48-49): And with them will be women limiting their glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes, As if they were delicate eggs, well-protected.

Qur'an 37 (Surah As-Saffat: 44-46): On thrones facing one another. There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring, White, delicious to the drinkers.

Through these verses, we have seen that Allah Sub-haana Wataala, the god worshipped by Muslims, has promised to admit Muslims into Paradise and that they will get rivers of water, milk, wine, and honey, as well as fruits, fowl meat, and will be married off by Allah to women with large eyes like ostrich eggs, and others as large as cups.

What is even more shocking is when we read the book of Hadiths, since the faith of Islam is also built upon Hadith books. Read:

Qur'an 42 (Surah Ash-Shura: 10): And in anything over which you disagree - its ruling is [referred] to Allah...

When we read the Hadith book of the prophet called Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol 5, Page 546, Hadith No. 4337, there is this explanation: Narrated Abu Umamah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah will not admit anyone into Paradise except that He will marry him to seventy-two wives: two from the houris (the women of Paradise with large eyes) and seventy inherited from the people of Hellfire... and every one of them has a desirable organ, and the man's erection will never slacken but will endure continuously."

This is what Allah, the god of Muslims, promised. This is something that greatly astonishes a Christian because this thing taught by Allah does not exist at all with our God Jehovah. Here on earth is where there is wine, fruits, fowl meat, marrying, mansions, cars, rivers, oceans, and the like. Reflect: Who is this Allah?

Reason No. 12: ALLAH AND ALL WHO WORSHIP HIM WILL END UP IN HELL

Where is the end of those who worship Allah? We know that Christians will live with our God Jehovah forever (See 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 and Revelation 21:3-7). Thus, our God has no end; He is eternal. But when we read the Qur'an and Hadiths of Muhammad, the prophet of Muslims, we see these teachings:

Qur'an 51 (Surah Adh-Dhariyat: 56): And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

Qur'an 6 (Surah Al-An'am: 128): And [mention, O Muhammad], the Day when He will gather them together [and say], "O company of jinn, you have distracted many of mankind." And their allies among mankind will say, "Our Lord, some of us made use of others, and we have reached our term which You appointed for us." He will say, "The Fire is your residence, wherein you will abide eternally..."

In these verses, we see that the jinn along with all people will be thrown into the fire. What about Allah himself? When we read the Hadith book of the prophet, Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. VI, Hadith No. 371, page 353, there are these words:

Qur'an 50 (Surah Qaf: 30): On the Day We will say to Hell, "Have you been filled?" and it will say, "Are there some more?"

It is narrated by Anas that the Prophet said people will be thrown into Hell, and Allah will ask Hell, saying, "Are you full?" and Hell will say, "Is there any more to come?" until Allah puts his foot into it, and then Hell will say, "Enough! Enough!"

The Hadith of Anas reads: And Allah will say, "Are there any more?" And Hell will ask the Almighty Lord, saying, "Are there any more?" until Allah places His foot inside the fire of Hell, and then the fire will say, "ENOUGH! ENOUGH!"

In this verse, we see Allah, the god of Muslims, asking Hell if it is full, and Hell asking Allah if there are more. This question shows that Hell was not yet full. The explanation of this Hadith proves that Allah will place his foot into Hell, and that is when Hell will say it is enough! It is full through the act of Allah putting his foot into it.

This is completely different from our God Jehovah. Our God prepared Hell specifically for wicked people, the devil, and his angels. Please read these verses: Matthew 25:41, 46; Revelation 20:10, 21:8.

All these verses show that the end of the wicked, the Devil, and his angels is in the lake of fire.

Dear beloved reader, Question for you: Who is Allah?

It is my hope that you have come to know in depth—through the Qur'an, the Bible, and the Hadith books of the Muslim prophet named Muhammad—that Allah Sub-Haana Wataala, the god worshipped by Muslims, is NOT Jehovah, the God we Christians worship.

When you know this truth as a Muslim, I pray that by the grace of Christ our Lord, you accept JESUS CHRIST into your life so that you can escape the worship of Satan and save your soul from eternal death...

Welcome to our Lord Jesus Christ. Revelation 3:20: He stands at your door and knocks!!! Do not delay in opening for Him.

Who Were the Writers of the Holy Qur'an During the Time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)?

 

Who Were the Writers of the Holy Qur'an During the Time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)?

THE KORAN WAS NOT REVEALED FROM ALLAH

Would you like to know the authors of the Koran? In our lesson today, we will learn about the authors of the Koran. Is it true that the Koran was revealed? Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the Koran was revealed?

When you say that Allah is the author of the Qur'an, it is a big lie, and many have accepted this lie and deception that the Koran was revealed, when it is known to have been written around 1400 AD.

A thinking person can say without hesitation that the Qur'an was written by several people who are known by name. The most prominent authors among them are:

• Imrul Qays: An ancient Arabian poet who died a few years before Muhammad was born.

• Zayd b. Amr b. Naufal: The 'heretic' of his time who preached and instituted Hanifism.

• Labid: Another poet.

• Hassan b. Thabit: Muhammad’s official poet.

• Salman: Muhammad's Persian advisor.

• Bahira: A Christian Nestorian monk from a monastery in Syria.

• Jabr: Muhammad's Christian neighbor.

• Ibn Qumta: A Christian slave.

• Khadija: Muhammad's first wife.

• Waraqa (cousin): Khadija's relative.

• Ubay b. Ka'ab: Muhammad’s scribe/writer.

• Muhammad: Himself.

Below, I will write a short history of some of the Koran's authors. I will start with Bahira, who was a Christian monk.

Bahira

Bahira was a Nestorian Christian monk who lived in Sham (Syria). His Christian name was Sergio Georgius. It is believed that he was expelled from the monastery after committing misconduct.

In the city of Makkah, he met Muhammad, became very close to him, and spent time with him. He had secret conversations with Muhammad, in which he certainly taught Muhammad many things about Christianity. Several verses in the Qur'an that discuss Christianity came from this monk, Bahira.

For example, all verses in the Koran that talk about the Book of Psalms (Zabur) were edited by this monk, Bahira:

4:163 Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And We revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Book of Psalms.

17:55 And your Lord is most knowing of whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And We have made some of the prophets exceed others [in various ways], and to David We gave the Book of Psalms.

21:105 And We have already written in the Psalms after the [previous] mention that the land is inherited by My righteous servants.

2:113 The Jews say, "The Christians have nothing to stand on," and the Christians say, "The Jews have nothing to stand on," although they both recite the Scripture. Thus the polytheists speak the same as their words. But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

2:139 Say, "Do you argue with us about Allah while He is our Lord and your Lord? For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. And we are sincere [in devotion] to Him."

3:23 Do you not consider those who were given a portion of the Scripture? They are invited to the Scripture of Allah that it should arbitrate between them; then a party of them turns away, and they are refusing.

*** The Quran has nothing extra or better than other books. The Qur'an was written by plagiarizing, copying, stealing, lying, and/or distorting from the BIBLE, to justify that the People of the Book should believe in it or use it as a guide. ***

Jabr

The Dictionary of Islam (Hughes Dictionary of Islam, p. 223) states that Jabr was one of the Ahl al-Kitab (People of the Book) and was well-read in the books of the Torah and the Injil (Gospel); thus, Muhammad used Jabr extensively in writing the Quran. Jabr was the one who read the Torah and the Injil to Muhammad whenever he passed by his house. Muhammad learned from Jabr and placed Surahs in the Quran that relate to Christians and Jews. All the verses concerning David and Solomon were crafted by this Jabr. Some of those verses include:

• David killed Goliath... 2:251

• The Psalms were given to David... 4:163

• Allah is discriminatory; He favored some Prophets over others; He gave the Psalms to David... 17:55

• Allah witnessed the judgment of David and Solomon... 21:78

• Allah gave Solomon correct understanding; He made the mountains and birds serve David... 21:79

• Allah taught David the skill of making armor for war... 21:80

• Before the Qur'an, Allah’s message was in David’s Psalms... 21:105

• Allah gave knowledge to David and Solomon... 27:15

• Solomon's father was David. Solomon was David's heir; Solomon understood the speech of birds, animals, and plants... 27:16

• Solomon had authority over the jinn; the jinn and birds fought in Solomon's army... 27:17

• Allah subjected the mountains under David's command; He taught him how to make armor from iron... 34:10–11

• Allah subjected the mountains and birds to David's service and endowed him with wisdom and sound judgment... 38:18–20

• Allah forgave David's sin... 38:25

• Allah appointed David as a ruler over the land and gave him authority to judge with justice according to divine laws rather than personal opinion... 38:26

*** Of course, all the stories/verses above are not from the BIBLE, but were copied/imitated/plagiarized and distorted from the later teachings of Jews and Christians. ***

Ibn Qumta

Ibn Qumta was a Christian slave who lived in the city of Makkah. Muhammad learned about the apocryphal gospels of Christianity (such as the Infancy Gospel and the Gospel of Barnabas) from him. The entire chapter about Mary and the birth of Jesus Christ (Surah 19) was written by this Christian slave.

Sources from Wakidi, quoted by Alphonso Mingana in his essay The Transmission of the Koran (The Origin of the Koran, p. 103), write:

'The earliest historian, Wakidi, contains the following sentences which suggested that 'Abdallah b. Sa'd b. Abi Sarh, and a Christian slave, Ibn Qumta, had something to do with the Koran. And Ibn Abi Sarh returned and said to the Quraysh: "It was only a Christian slave who was teaching him (Muhammad); my job was to write down and alter whatever Prophet Muhammad wanted."'

Please note that Abdallah b. Sa'd b. Abi Sarh was a trusted scribe of Muhammad. When Muhammad migrated to Medina, Abdallah followed him. Whenever Muhammad was in a state of vision, Abdallah was the writer of those visions. When Abdallah suggested some modifications to Muhammad's phrasing, Muhammad accepted easily. An example is when Muhammad was reciting verses 23:12–14:

23:12 And certainly We created man from an extract of clay. 23:13 Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging. 23:14 Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made the lump into bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators!

Here is a short list of some verses in the Qur'an that Muhammad copied/stole from the books or writings of Christians, Jews, Armenians, Hindus, and Magians (Zoroastrians):

• Tayammum (04:43): Copied from the Jewish Talmud writings.

• Breathed life into a bird (2:260, 3:49, 5:110): Copied from Coptic books.

• Houris, Azazil (44:54): Learned from foreigners in Makkah.

• Harut and Marut (2:102): From Armenian books—Harut and Marut control the wind and rain.

• The Throne of Allah over water (11:07): From Jewish traditions.

• Malik, keeper of Hell (43:77): From Jewish roots [Molech – Leviticus 18:21; 20:2–5, etc.].

• 7 Heavens (2:29, 41:12): Adopted from Sanskrit Hindu writings.

• Mary giving birth under a palm tree (19:23): Copied from the Infancy Gospel, an apocryphal Christian Gospel.

• Baby Jesus speaking (3:46, 19:30–31, 19:33): Copied from the Infancy Gospel.

• Descriptions of Paradise and Hell (many verses – see section on Salman, the Persian): Copied from Magian (Zoroastrian) and Hindu teachings.

• Jesus was not killed; Allah raised Jesus up (3:55, 4:157–158): Copied from the Gospel of Barnabas.

• Story of Joseph (Surah 12): Copied from the Midrash, Jewish writings.

• Story of Solomon and Sheba (21:78–82, 27:17–19, 27:22–23): Copied from Haggadah, Jewish writings [1 Kings 10:1].

• The original Qur'an is preserved in Heaven (43:4, 85:21–22): The Talmud says that the Torah is a tablet under Heaven's protection.

• Angel of Death – Azrail or Azazil, Malak al-Mawt (6:61, 7:37, 32:11): Adopted from Jewish and Magian (Zoroastrian) texts.

PAGANS SAY THE QURAN IS JUST ANCIENT FABLES

Here is evidence from selected verses in the Quran telling us that the pagans were aware that Muhammad was telling them ancient stories they had heard before Muhammad:

• The disbelievers said that the Quran is like stories of ancient pagans... 08:31

• The disbelievers said that Muhammad's verses were copied from ancient stories... 16:24

• Many pagans had already heard resurrection stories from old pagan tales... 23:83

• Disbelievers said that 'the Qur'an is ancient fables that they heard before Muhammad'... 25:5

• The disbelievers insisted that the Qur'an consists of fables from ancient books... 27:68

• The disbelievers said the Quran is filled with stories of ancient people... 46:17

• The disbelievers call and equate Muhammad's verses to ancient stories... 68:15

CONCLUSION

The 'Quran' is not written by God. A wise God cannot write a book containing errors, contradictions, repetition, and textual flaws as found throughout the Qur'an, which serves as a misleading guide for mankind.

All anomalies, contradictions, TEXTUAL ERRORS, rambling, REPETITIONS, grammatical and linguistic mistakes, historical errors, TENDENCY TO ADVOCATE MURDER, HATE-MONGERING, WAR-MONGERING, DISCRIMINATION, racism, and other demonic traits of the Quran will easily make you understand that the Koran is not a Book of Holy God filled with mercy and grace who could write a demonic book like the Qur'an for Muhammad.

It is understood by those with wisdom that Muhammad’s claim to have been given the Koran is a blatant lie; this is why Muhammad claimed he received visions from Allah—to shut the mouths of all who doubted his book.

The entire Qur'an is written by Muhammad and is filled with his personal desires and ideas.

Alter Ego

In reality, Muhammad, Jibril, and Allah are one and the same person.

Muhammad

It was Muhammad who founded Islam, and later some of his followers, 'In the name of Allah', constructed the Qur'an by editing, altering, and plagiarizing from various scriptures and traditions of other people of that era.

His followers continued to spread this deception of Muhammad and instill it into human consciousness to achieve their political ambitions of ruling the Arabian peninsula and, later, other peaceful nations.

The Koran is not a Book of God, but the writings of Muhammad and his friends.

In His service,
