The Quran Is Not the Word of Allah or God Almighty

The Quran Is Not the Word of Allah or God Almighty

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute

Dear reader,

This is a serious matter for every Muslim around the world. Muslims have long insisted that the entire Quran is the word of Allah. But when you ask them, how exactly did Allah speak to Muhammad? — they go silent or resort to insults.

Today, I want to present clear evidence showing that the Quran is not the word of Allah. Join me as we carefully examine this together.


Proof Within the Quran Itself: Who Is Really Speaking?

Let’s look at what the Quran actually says — and you’ll realize it’s not solely Allah speaking.

1. Satan Speaks in the Quran
In Surah Al-Hijr 15:39, Satan himself says:

“My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make disobedience attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all.”

So here, Satan is speaking within the Quran. How then can one claim the Quran is entirely Allah’s words, when even the devil has a voice in it?


2. Zakariya (Zechariah) Speaks in the Quran
In Surah Maryam 19:4, Zakariya says:

“My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy.”

Again — it’s not Allah speaking here, but Zakariya.


3. Mary (Maryam) Speaks in the Quran
In Surah Maryam 19:18, Mary says:

“Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah.”

If Muslims claim the Quran is purely Allah’s word — then how is Mary speaking here? Has Mary become Allah? Of course not. This is a serious theological contradiction.


4. Angels Speak in the Quran
In Surah Maryam 19:21, the angels say:

“So it will be; your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.’”

Now angels too are speaking in the Quran. Again — if it’s Allah’s word alone, why do we hear from angels directly?


5. Jesus (Isa ibn Maryam) Speaks in the Quran
In Surah Maryam 19:36, Jesus says:

“Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.”

So even Jesus speaks in the Quran — but what’s striking is that Muhammad himself never speaks directly in the Quran, nor is his birth mentioned clearly in it. Isn’t this a serious inconsistency for Muslims to explain?


The Big Questions Muslims Must Answer

So I leave my Muslim friends with two simple questions:

  1. Who exactly is the speaker in the Quran?

  2. Whose words are really recorded in the Quran?

If you can answer these questions, with clear verses and without dodging, I am ready today to become a Muslim.

But the truth is evident: the Quran is a collection of speeches from different characters — Satan, prophets, Mary, angels, Jesus — making it impossible for Muslims to honestly claim it’s entirely the word of Allah.


Final Reflection

Muslims often challenge: “If you don’t believe the Quran is from God, then produce a verse like it.”
But when many voices other than Allah appear in the Quran — does this not weaken the claim that it’s purely divine revelation?

I leave this contradiction for Muslims to wrestle with, and I invite you instead to follow Jesus Christ, the Living Word of God, the Word of Life.

Come to the One who speaks eternal truth. His name is Jesus.

Did Muhammad Swear by Jesus and Confess That Jesus Will Judge with Justice?

Did Muhammad Swear by Jesus and Confess That Jesus Will Judge with Justice?

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute

Dear reader,
Today, let’s engage in a thought-provoking debate about a surprising claim found within Islamic hadith literature: Muhammad swearing by Jesus and acknowledging His role as the final judge.

What Do the Islamic Hadith Say?

In the authentic hadith collection of Sahih Bukhari (Hadith No. 425, Volume 3), narrated by Abu Huraira, the Prophet of Islam Muhammad is reported to have said:

“I swear by Him in Whose hand my soul is, surely the Son of Mary will soon descend among you and will judge mankind with justice.”

Now, this raises an important theological question: if, as Islam teaches, one should only swear by God (Allah), why would Muhammad swear by Jesus?


Islamic Teaching on Swearing Oaths

In another hadith narrated by Abdallah bin ‘Umar and recorded in Sahih Bukhari, it is stated:

“Indeed, Allah forbids you from swearing by your fathers. Whoever must swear, let him swear by Allah or remain silent.”

This clearly commands Muslims to swear only by Allah — swearing by anyone or anything else is strictly forbidden.


The Debate

If Muhammad, the central figure of Islam, swore by Jesus, what does this signify?

Question:
If Muhammad truly believed Allah to be supreme, why did he swear by Jesus and declare that it is Jesus who will descend and judge the world with justice?

Follow-up Question:
If swearing must be done only by God (as the hadith commands), why would Muhammad swear by Jesus — unless he recognized the divinity of Jesus?

Implication:
This suggests a theological contradiction within the Islamic sources. Either:

  1. Muhammad committed an error against his own teachings (which would undermine the Islamic claim of his infallibility),
    or

  2. Muhammad acknowledged a divine status in Jesus Christ, consistent with Christian belief in Jesus as the Living God and final Judge.


Conclusion: Is Jesus Lord Even in Islamic Tradition?

This hadith opens an important window for dialogue. Even within Islamic tradition, Jesus is uniquely honored — not merely as a prophet, but as the one who will return and judge the world with justice. This is a role that, biblically and theologically, belongs to God alone.

So why follow Allah — who is not Yahweh — if even Muhammad points to Jesus as the ultimate judge?

I invite you, dear reader, to consider the person of Jesus Christ — the Living God, the Righteous Judge, and the Savior of the world.

MUHAMMAD, MAGIC, AND THE PRACTICE OF DIVINATION

MUHAMMAD, MAGIC, AND THE PRACTICE OF DIVINATION

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba
Shimba Theological Institute

Dear Reader,

Today, let’s carefully examine an important subject: Muhammad’s involvement in magic and the use of charms within Islam.

Did Prophet Muhammad Use Magic?

According to Islamic hadith sources, Prophet Muhammad is recorded to have used magic (known as ndumba in Swahili) against the evil eye and venomous creatures such as lizards. This is documented in Ibn Majah, Volume 5, Hadith No. 3525, p. 48.

Now, the question for us is — where in the Bible do we ever see God’s prophets and apostles using magic or charms for healing or protection? Did God lack the power to heal an evil eye or venom without resorting to magic?

Muhammad Gave Magic Charms to His Wife Aisha

Shockingly, Muhammad is said to have given his beloved wife Aisha a charm to protect her from the evil eye. This is recorded in Sahih Muslim, Volume 3, Book 24, Hadith Numbers 5445, 5447-5450, p. 1196.

At this point, one might ask — how different is this from witchcraft? The very fact that Muhammad would prepare and hand over charms reveals a reliance on practices foreign to biblical prophets.

Again — where in the Bible do we see prophets of God using magic or charms? The answer is nowhere.

Muhammad Believed in the Evil Eye and Used Amulets

Muhammad openly believed in the evil eye and even encouraged the use of protective amulets. Al-Tabari, Volume 39, p. 134 confirms this. Furthermore, two chapters of the Quran (Surahs 113 and 114) deal with protection from the evil eye according to Ibn Majah, Volume 5, Hadith 3517, p. 41.

Interestingly, these two chapters were not included in the Quranic collection of Ibn Mas’ud, a close companion and personal scribe of Muhammad. Ibn Mas’ud is reported to have said, “The two charms [Surah 113 and 114] are not part of the Book of God.” (See: The Fihrist, p. 57) — raising serious concerns about the authenticity of the current Quran.

Muhammad even encouraged his followers to learn the Quran from Ibn Mas’ud and three others. (Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Hadith 521, p. 486-487)

Muhammad Taught That Magic Cures the Evil Eye

Several hadiths in Ibn Majah, Volume 5, Hadith 3510-3512, p. 41-42 confirm Muhammad’s teaching that charms could cure the evil eye.

Another practice called ‘al-badiri’ was also permitted by Muhammad as protection against the evil eye. (Ibn Majah, Volume 5, Hadith 3513-3518, p. 42-44)

Furthermore, Muhammad declared that the evil eye is a real phenomenon (Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 71, Hadith 636, p. 427; Hadith 827, p. 538; and Volume 4, Book 55, Hadith 590, p. 386) — and that it could be counteracted using magic.

Even more peculiar, Muhammad’s own hair was believed to have healing power for the evil eye. (Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Hadith 784, p. 518.) After shaving his head, his followers scrambled to collect his hair, which Muhammad distributed generously. (Sahih Muslim, Volume 2, Book 7, Hadith 2991-2994, p. 656-657.)

Muhammad’s Odd Recommendation: Specific Dates for Healing

Muhammad also taught that if people were to perform certain acts on the 17th, 19th, or 21st day of the lunar month, it would heal every disease. (Abu Dawud, Volume 3, Hadith 3852, p. 1084.)

If Muhammad was truly a prophet of the one true God, why did he rely on magic?
If Allah is God, why did he permit such practices?
If Islam is from God, why does it allow and promote charms and magic?

An Invitation to the Living God

Dear reader — it is clear from both Islamic sources and the Bible that Jesus Christ alone heals, protects, and saves without the use of charms or sorcery. He is alive today and calls you to receive Him as your Savior and Lord.

Come to Jesus, the Living God.

May the Lord bless you richly.

The Two Deadliest Killers in Muslim Lands: Mosquitoes and the Quran

The Two Deadliest Killers in Muslim Lands: Mosquitoes and the Quran

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute

In the great tragedy of human suffering, two unlikely culprits stand out as relentless executioners in the Muslim world: the unassuming mosquito and the Quran itself. One kills silently by instinct; the other stirs men to violence under the guise of sacred duty. Together, they leave trails of blood across history and geography.

The Mosquito: Nature’s Indifferent Killer

Every year, over 600,000 people fall victim to mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Out of those deaths, an estimated 350,000 to 420,000 occur within Muslim-majority nations. Why so many? Because mosquitoes, blind to race and creed, thrive in warm climates plagued by poor infrastructure and neglected healthcare systems. They care nothing for your faith, your five daily prayers, or your fasting. They seek blood — and they find it where poverty, corruption, and ignorance keep modern medicine at bay.

The Quran: Death by Doctrine

But if mosquitoes kill by nature, the Quran has inspired death by ideology for over 1,400 years. Chief among its blood-soaked instructions is Surah 9:5, infamously known as the Sword Verse:

"Then when the sacred months have passed, slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war…”

This single verse, among others, has served as divine license for relentless wars of conquest, forced conversions, sectarian killings, and indiscriminate bloodshed. From the earliest Islamic expansions into Arabia, Persia, and the Levant to today’s modern terror groups and civil conflicts, Muslims have slaughtered one another — and others — invoking Allah’s name and these same ancient verses.

It’s a cruel irony that Muslims die in greater numbers from these Quran-sanctioned wars than from any external enemy. Estimates suggest 200,000 to 500,000 Muslims perish each year in conflicts where both sides shout “Allahu Akbar” before detonating bombs, firing bullets, or beheading captives. Sunni versus Shia, extremist versus moderate — all claiming scriptural authority while contributing to a mounting death toll.

The Contrast of Instinct and Indoctrination

A mosquito injects a parasite. The Quran injects dogma. The former acts on primal instinct, the latter on learned zealotry. Yet the results are the same: funerals, grief, and shattered communities.

The mosquito, a simple insect, neither hates nor reasons. The Quran, revered as divine by over a billion, embeds doctrines of violence against dissenters, apostates, and rival sects. And while the world mounts scientific campaigns against malaria and dengue, the spiritual infection of militant Islamism remains largely unchallenged in many religious institutions, often justified under claims of preserving sacred tradition.

In Conclusion: Time to Break the Cycle

If the Grim Reaper had two tools custom-made for trimming Muslim populations, it wouldn’t be rifles or pandemics. It would be the buzzing mosquito and a bloodstained Quran, flapping in the hands of the devout and the fanatical alike.

The God of the Bible, the God of peace and justice, commands His followers to choose life, love their enemies, and pursue peace with all men (Hebrews 12:14; Matthew 5:9). Meanwhile, the Quran preserves verses that champion endless struggle against non-Muslims and even fellow Muslims of differing interpretations.

It’s time for Muslims everywhere to stop, reflect, and consider the spiritual chains they bear. The Creator of Heaven and Earth does not delight in death and destruction but in repentance and reconciliation through His Son, Jesus Christ — the Prince of Peace.

As Proverbs 14:12 warns:
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.”

Choose life. Choose truth. Choose Jesus.



Debate Outline: Was Muhammad a True Prophet of God?

Debate Outline: Was Muhammad a True Prophet of God?

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute


I. Introduction

  • Brief introduction of the topic: examining the prophetic claims of Muhammad.

  • Establish the importance of testing prophetic claims against scripture, history, and logic.

  • Declare the objective: to demonstrate through evidence that Muhammad was not a true prophet of the Most High God.


II. Historical Background of Muhammad’s “Call”

  • A. Withdrawal to Mount Hira at age 38 due to hardship.

  • B. The alleged first revelation at age 40 by a being called Jibril.

    • Hallucinatory encounters

Debate Question:
Do these signs align with biblical prophetic experiences or demonic manifestations?


III. Theological and Scriptural Contradictions

  • A. Quran 53:2–6 claims divine origin of Muhammad’s words.

  • B. Compare with how biblical prophets received revelation — clarity, peace, no bizarre physical trauma.

Debate Challenge:
Can Islam produce a prophetic precedent in the Old or New Testament that mirrors Muhammad’s experiences?


IV. Contradictory Statements within Islam

  • A. Surah Al-Kafirun (Quran 109)

    • Muhammad himself admits Muslims don’t worship the same God as Christians and Jews.

  • B. Contrast with Surah Al-Baqarah 2:62

    • Claims Jews, Christians, and Sabians worship the same God.

Debate Question:
How can one faith claim both theological exclusivity and inclusivity without contradiction?


V. The Nature of Muhammad’s Revelations

  • A. No verifiable witnesses to most of his revelations.

  • B. Initial suicidal tendencies after early encounters (Hadith references).

  • C. Revelations conveniently favoring Muhammad’s personal desires (e.g., marital privileges, war booty, etc.)

Debate Challenge:
Do these characteristics reflect a true servant of the holy, impartial God of Scripture?


VI. The Prophetic Test in the Bible

  • A. Deuteronomy 18:20-22 — test of a prophet: accuracy and alignment with God’s character.

  • B. Examine Muhammad’s failed prophecies and teachings contrary to biblical values.

Debate Point:
By biblical standards, Muhammad fails the test of a prophet.


VII. Conclusion

  • Summarize evidence:

    • Historical inconsistencies

    • Theological contradictions

    • Unbiblical nature of revelations

    • Failed prophetic test

Final Challenge:
If Muhammad fails both biblical and logical standards of prophecy, how can he be accepted as a prophet of the Most High God? The only trustworthy revelation is through Jesus Christ, the final and complete Word of God (Hebrews 1:1-3).



MUHAMMAD: THE FALSE PROPHET

MUHAMMAD: THE FALSE PROPHET

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute

Muslims will often defend the prophetic claims of Muhammad, but many of us, by the weight of historical and theological evidence, know without a doubt that Muhammad was never, and could never have been, a true prophet of the Most High God. His so-called "prophethood" was nothing more than a fabricated office — a concoction akin to folk poetry and ancient Arabian mysticism.

THE HISTORICAL ACCOUNT:
When we examine the history of Muhammad, we discover that at the age of 38, burdened by the difficulties of life, he abandoned his home and withdrew to the caves of Mount Hira near Mecca. There, when he turned 40, he claimed to have been visited by a being Muslims today call the angel Jibril (Gabriel).

According to Islamic tradition, specifically Sahih al-Bukhari (Book 1, Hadith 2, and Al-Lu’lu wal Marjan, Book 3, Page 874, Hadith 1505), Aisha (the mother of the believers) narrated:

"Al-Harith ibn Hisham asked the Messenger of Allah: 'O Messenger of Allah, how does the revelation come to you?' The Messenger of Allah replied, 'Sometimes it comes to me like the ringing of a bell — and that is the hardest upon me — then it departs, and I have grasped what is said. At other times, the angel comes to me in the form of a man, and speaks to me, and I grasp what he says.' Aisha said, 'Indeed, I saw it descend upon him on a very cold day, yet when the state left him, his forehead would be dripping with sweat.'”

Now — does this experience resemble a divine encounter with the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Or does it sound like demonic possession or delirium?

THE QURANIC CONTRADICTION:
Qur'an 53:2–6 (Surat An-Najm) says:

"Your companion (Muhammad) has neither gone astray nor erred, nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. It is nothing but a revelation revealed, taught to him by one mighty in power — one of soundness, and he rose to [his] true form."

But when we compare this to the manner of true prophetic revelations in the Bible — where prophets received God's Word in clarity, holiness, and peace — it becomes obvious this was no divine encounter. Nowhere did Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, or the Lord Jesus Himself fall into seizures, hear bell-like noises, or sweat profusely under stress when receiving God’s Word.

THE SPIRITUAL ANALYSIS:
The conditions surrounding Muhammad’s so-called “revelations” parallel ancient accounts of spirit possession rather than divine prophecy. Even Muhammad himself once confessed he feared being possessed by an evil spirit when these episodes began.

Moreover, the inconsistencies between Qur'anic statements about God and the clear, consistent, holy nature of the God of the Bible reveal that Allah is not Jehovah (YHWH) — the eternal, unchanging God of Israel.

THE FINAL VERDICT:
Muhammad was not a prophet of the true God. His revelations came from questionable sources, inconsistent experiences, and contradicted both history and Scripture. Christianity stands firm on the unshakable foundation of God's revealed Word — in the Torah, the Prophets, and ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.

“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5)


DEBATE CHALLENGE:
To any Muslim scholar, cleric, or apologist:
Explain how a man who feared demonic possession, received revelations through bell sounds and physical torment, contradicts biblical prophecy, and created a religion by force and fear, can be considered a true prophet of the Holy God.

If your religion is truth — face this question honestly.

MUHAMMAD CONFESSES THAT ALLAH IS NOT THE GOD OF THE GOSPEL AND THE TORAH, BUT A GOD OF PAGANS

Wednesday, August 10, 2016

MUHAMMAD CONFESSES THAT ALLAH IS NOT THE GOD OF THE GOSPEL AND THE TORAH, BUT A GOD OF PAGANS

Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?
Is Allah a pagan deity?

Dear readers, once again, the Prophet of Allah himself confessed that Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God, and that Allah is a pagan god.

In this article, we will examine various evidences proving that Allah is not the God of Adam, Moses, and all the prophets mentioned in the Holy Bible.

From Surat Al-Kafirun, which was revealed in Mecca, Muhammad openly acknowledges with his own mouth that Christians and Jews do not worship the same God as the Muslims do.

Surah 109:

  1. Say: O disbelievers!

  2. I do not worship what you worship.

  3. Nor do you worship what I worship.

  4. And I will not worship what you worship.

  5. Nor will you worship what I worship.

  6. To you be your religion, and to me, mine.

This Surah presents many clear problems, revealing that the claim made by Muslims — that Christians and Muslims worship the same God — is false and lacks any sound evidence.

FIRST PROBLEM:
Who exactly is this Surah addressing?
(a) The People of the Book (Jews, Christians, and perhaps the Sabians)?
(b) The pagans of Mecca?

The Quran fails to clarify which group Muhammad was speaking to in this case.

SECOND PROBLEM:
Even if it were addressing either group (a) or (b) above, this Surah 109 is full of contradictions when compared to various other Quranic verses claiming that Christians, Jews, and others all worship the same God as the Muslims.

For example:

Surat Al-Baqara 2:62
“Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabians — those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and do righteousness — will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.”

Surat Al-Baqara 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.”

MUHAMMAD CONFESSES THAT ALLAH IS NOT THE GOD OF THE GOSPEL AND THE TORAH, BUT A GOD OF PAGANS
By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute

Do Christians and Muslims Worship the Same God?
Is Allah a Pagan God?

Dear readers, once again, the so-called Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, openly confessed that Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God — and that Allah is, in fact, a pagan deity.

In this brief article, we shall review evidence that Allah is not the God of Adam, Moses, and the prophets mentioned in the Holy Bible.

Evidence from the Quran itself:

In Surat Al-Kafirun — a chapter said to be revealed in Mecca — Muhammad personally declared that Jews and Christians do not worship the same deity as Muslims.

Surah 109 says:
1. Say: O disbelievers!
2. I do not worship what you worship.
3. Nor do you worship what I worship.
4. And I will not worship what you worship.
5. Nor will you worship what I worship.
6. To you be your religion, and to me, mine.

This passage alone brings forth significant contradictions and exposes the false Islamic claim that Christians, Jews, and Muslims worship the same God.

THE FIRST PROBLEM:
Who is this Surah addressing?
(a) The People of the Book (Jews, Christians, and perhaps Sabians)?
(b) The pagans of Mecca?

The Quran gives no clarification about which group Muhammad was speaking to here — whether to idol worshippers or to those recognized as monotheistic communities in Arabia.

THE SECOND PROBLEM:
Even if we assume it is directed at either group (a) or (b), this Surah 109 openly contradicts numerous Quranic verses claiming that Jews, Christians, and others worship the same God as Muslims.

For example:

Surat Al-Baqara 2:62
"Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabians — those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and do righteousness — will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve."

Surat Al-Baqara 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.'"

These verses show that Muhammad at times claimed all these religious groups had one and the same God — while elsewhere he refutes and rejects their worship entirely. This exposes the inconsistency and theological confusion within the Quranic text.

CONCLUSION:
It is evident from both internal contradictions within the Quran and from biblical testimony that Allah is not the God of the Bible — not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, nor the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The God of the Bible is a God of truth, light, and righteousness — not a god of confusion, contradiction, or pagan origins. As Christians, we must be bold to declare this truth in love and call our Muslim brothers and sisters out of spiritual deception into the glorious light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
— 1 Corinthians 14:33

And let it be known that no man can serve two masters. The God of the Holy Scriptures and the deity of Islam are not one and the same.


Great — let’s continue and complete it smoothly in English for your blog post:


...These verses show that Muhammad at times claimed all these religious groups had one and the same God.

THE CONTRADICTION:
If according to Surah 109 Muhammad states clearly: “I do not worship what you worship, nor do you worship what I worship,” then how can the same Quran later claim in Surah 2:62 and Surah 2:139 that Jews and Christians worship the same God as Muslims?

This blatant inconsistency reveals a deep theological confusion within the Quran itself — demonstrating that Allah, as presented by Muhammad, is not the God of the Bible.

THE HISTORICAL REALITY:
The term “Allah” was well known in pre-Islamic pagan Arabia. It was the name of the chief god of the Kaaba, worshipped alongside numerous other deities like Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat. Historical evidence confirms that Muhammad did not introduce the name Allah but simply adopted it from existing Arabian pagan practices.

THE BIBLICAL STANDPOINT:
The Holy Bible — both the Torah and the Gospel — reveals a living, personal, and holy God: Yahweh (Jehovah), who makes covenants with His people, manifests Himself through prophets, and ultimately in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1, 14). Nowhere in the Bible is God presented as a distant, unknowable being like Allah of the Quran, nor is there a record of Him ever commanding child marriages, sex slavery, or unjust killings as attributed to Muhammad’s Allah in Islamic texts.

CONCLUSION:
Based on both the internal contradictions of the Quran and historical facts, it is evident that Allah is not the God of Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Allah is a god of pagan origins, rebranded by Muhammad for his own religious movement.

Final Thought:
Christianity offers a God who is relational, holy, and consistent. Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, came not to enslave but to set us free. He invites all to know Him personally and truthfully.

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5)

I urge all my Muslim brothers and sisters to open their hearts and test these truths. The God of the Bible calls you into relationship, not rigid rituals and contradictions.

Are All Babies Born Muslim? A Theological and Logical Refutation

Are All Babies Born Muslim? A Theological and Logical Refutation

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute


Introduction

In the realm of religious claims, few are as puzzling and logically inconsistent as Islam’s assertion that every human being is born a Muslim. According to Sahih Muslim, Book 33, Hadith 6426, “Every child is born upon the fitrah (Islamic natural disposition), and it is his parents who make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian.”

This assertion claims that belief in Islam is the natural state of humanity from birth — a convenient yet absurd claim designed to promote indoctrination rather than reasoned faith. As a theologian and defender of Biblical truth, I, Dr. Maxwell Shimba, feel compelled to dissect this claim theologically, scientifically, and logically.


Debate Point 1: Where Is the Evidence?

If, as Islam claims, every child is born a Muslim:

  • Why does no child possess any innate awareness or understanding of Allah, the Qur’an, or Islamic doctrine?

  • Why do children of Christian, Jewish, Hindu, or secular families not naturally gravitate toward Islamic belief?

Biblical Response:
The Bible makes it clear that while mankind is made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27), we are born with a fallen nature (Psalm 51:5) — not with a pre-programmed religious identity. Furthermore, Ecclesiastes 7:29 states, “God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.” This places moral agency in the hands of each person, not some fabricated natural disposition to Islam.


Debate Point 2: The Absurdity of “Muslim Sperm”

Some Islamic scholars and preachers have gone so far as to claim that even sperm is Muslim. This statement not only contradicts elementary biology but makes a mockery of logic and reason.

Logical Challenge:
How can a microscopic cell, incapable of consciousness, emotion, morality, or decision-making, hold any religious belief? Cells do not practice religion, pray, or contemplate eternity. To suggest otherwise is to abandon the very intellect with which God endowed humanity.


Debate Point 3: The Danger of Indoctrination

This flawed doctrine serves a strategic purpose: it frames Islam as the default, thereby making apostasy appear as rebellion against one's own "natural" state. It is a theological tactic to guilt and shame adherents into submission.

Contrast with Christianity:
Christianity respects the sanctity of free will. Jesus calls people to choose Him freely (John 3:16, Revelation 3:20). Faith in Christ is not coerced by birth, but invited by grace.


Debate Point 4: Divine Consistency and Fairness

If God, in His wisdom, made all children Muslim by birth — yet allows them to be raised in other faiths and then punishes them for leaving Islam later — how is that just?

Biblical Principle:
God is perfectly just (Deuteronomy 32:4). The Bible teaches that judgment is based on personal choice, willful rejection of truth, and moral responsibility — not on circumstances of birth.


Conclusion: A Call to Reason and Truth

The Islamic claim that “every baby is born Muslim” lacks biblical, logical, and scientific foundation. It is a relic of religious indoctrination aimed at controlling thought and identity from infancy.

The True Biblical Position:
God created mankind with the freedom to seek, reason, and believe. Every human being is called to discover the truth of the Gospel — that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone (Acts 4:12). The offer of eternal life is open to all who choose to accept it.


Proverbs 12:22 boldly declares:
"The Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy."

Let us abandon myths and return to the truth of God’s Word. Islam’s desperate claim of universal Muslim birth is yet another example of religious propaganda masquerading as theology.

To my Muslim friends: the invitation remains — come to Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). Reject deception, and embrace the eternal truth found only in Him.

Are All Babies Born Muslim?

Are All Babies Born Muslim? A Theological and Logical Refutation

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute

Introduction:
In the ever-baffling world of Islamic theology, there exists a claim so irrational, so detached from both logic and divine revelation, that it demands public scrutiny. According to Sahih Muslim, Book 33, Hadith 6426, Islam teaches that every child is born a Muslim. Yes, without understanding, choice, or knowledge — supposedly born reciting the Shahada in their hearts, ready to embrace the ummah.

But is this claim credible? Is it consistent with divine revelation, reason, or human experience? As a theologian committed to Biblical truth and intellectual honesty, I, Dr. Maxwell Shimba, intend to dissect and expose this fallacy.


Islamic Claim: Every Baby Is Born a Muslim

Sahih Muslim 6426 states:

“Every child is born upon the fitrah (Islamic natural disposition), and it is his parents who make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian.”

The implication is clear: humans are created predisposed to Islam, and any deviation is external corruption.
But this proposition fails on several levels.


Debate Point 1: Where’s the Evidence?

If every child is born Muslim:

  • Why can’t a newborn profess or understand Islam?

  • Why does Islamic theology conveniently blame parents for religious diversity?

  • Why did God give humans free will if belief is pre-programmed?

Biblical Refutation:
Ecclesiastes 7:29“God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.”
Nowhere in Scripture does it teach that humanity is born into a preloaded religious identity. Rather, mankind is created with the ability to choose, reason, and seek after God (Acts 17:27).


Debate Point 2: The Absurdity of “Muslim Sperm”

Some Islamic preachers have further exaggerated this claim by stating that “even sperm is Muslim”. This notion not only contradicts established biology but mocks the very intelligence God endowed humanity with.

Logical Challenge:
How can a microscopic cell — devoid of consciousness, morality, or belief — possess religious affiliation? It’s religious mythology masquerading as theology.


Debate Point 3: The Danger of Indoctrination

This claim facilitates one of Islam’s gravest tactics: indoctrination through fear and shame.
By insisting that Islam is the natural state, anyone who leaves it is branded an apostate worthy of punishment — a doctrine completely foreign to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

John 8:32“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Christianity exalts free will, not forced conformity.


Final Challenge to Muslims

If you genuinely believe in logic, conscience, and divine justice:

  • Why perpetuate a doctrine that no infant can verify?

  • Why silence dissent with threats rather than reasoned debate?

  • Why not test these claims by the light of Scripture and reason?

Proverbs 12:22 says: “The Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.”

The claim that all babies are born Muslim is a spiritual con job designed to bind souls in chains of fear. Reject it. Embrace the liberating truth of Jesus Christ — the only sinless Savior and the Son of the living God.


Conclusion:

Islam’s assertion that every baby is born a Muslim is not only unbiblical and unscientific, but an affront to human dignity and divine truth.
At Shimba Theological Institute, we boldly declare:
There is no revert, only converts. Truth is not inherited — it is discovered. And only in Christ is true salvation found.

Jesus Christ Is God: A Divine Truth That Cannot Be Denied

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute

One of the most vital declarations in Christian theology is this: Jesus Christ is God manifested in human flesh. He is not merely a prophet or a moral teacher — He is the visible image of the invisible God, as Scripture powerfully affirms.

Jesus Demands the Same Honor as God

In John 5:23, Jesus made a bold, divine claim:

“That all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.”

No prophet, no teacher, no angel has ever demanded such honor — only God Himself is worthy of it. Jesus, therefore, unmistakably placed Himself as equal with God.


When You See Jesus, You See God

In John 14:9, Jesus declared:

“Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father.”

This is a staggering statement. The incarnate Jesus is the full revelation of the invisible God. Not a reflection or mere representative — but God Himself clothed in humanity.


The Entire Bible Confirms His Divinity

Scripture consistently testifies to this truth:

  • John 1:1,14“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… and the Word became flesh.”

  • Colossians 2:9“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.”

  • Titus 2:13“…our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”


Rejecting Jesus' Divinity Is Rejecting God

Jesus Himself warned in John 8:24:

“If you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

Believing in the divinity of Christ is not optional — it is the very foundation of saving faith.


Final Word

At Shimba Theological Institute, we boldly proclaim this eternal truth:
Jesus Christ is God, the sinless Savior, the eternal Word, and the Lord of all creation. He alone offers salvation, and to deny His deity is to reject the living God.

Embrace Him today, for He is the only way, the truth, and the life.
