ALLAH SAID MUHAMMAD IS NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT

 ALLAH SAID MUHAMMAD IS NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT

JESUS SON OF MARY WAS GIVEN THE HOLY SPIRIT, NOT MUHAMMAD (QURAN 2:87)

MUSLIMS PANIC AND BECOME UNEASY

Let us start by reading verses from the Bible:

The first sermon of Jesus after fasting for 40 days in the wilderness announces the good news of Jesus. In Luke 4:18-19, Jesus declares his ministry by saying:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

JESUS, SON OF MARY, WAS GIVEN THE HOLY SPIRIT, NOT MUHAMMAD (QURAN 2:87)

The Quran also agrees with this truth that Jesus was empowered by the Holy Spirit. In Surah 2:87, we read:

“…and We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear miracles and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit…”

Does this mean that Jesus, son of Mary, was empowered by Muhammad as some Muslims claim?

If Muslims claim that Muhammad is the Holy Spirit, how was he present during the time of Jesus, son of Mary?

Did Muhammad live during the time of Jesus, son of Mary?

The Quran here tells us that Jesus was given many miracles. These miracles were announced by Jesus himself in Luke 4:18-19. In Quran Surah 5:110, we see that some of the miracles given to Jesus included healing people.

“(Remember) when Allah said: O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember my favor upon you and upon your mother, how I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit, so you could speak to people in childhood and maturity. I taught you the Scripture, wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel. And you molded from clay a shape like a bird, by my permission, and you healed the blind and the lepers by my permission, and you brought the dead to life by my permission…”

IF MUHAMMAD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, HOW COULD HE HAVE BEEN PRESENT DURING THE TIME OF JESUS, WHO LIVED 630 YEARS BEFORE MUHAMMAD WAS BORN?

Why didn’t Allah say that Jesus, son of Mary, was empowered by Muhammad instead of the Holy Spirit?

If Muhammad is the Holy Spirit, as some Muslims claim, was he present during the time of Jesus, son of Mary?

THE LATE MUHAMMAD WAS DISTURBED AND PANICKED UPON SEEING A SOLAR ECLIPSE

 THE LATE MUHAMMAD WAS DISTURBED AND PANICKED UPON SEEING A SOLAR ECLIPSE

Sahih Bukhari, Volume II, Book 18, Number 167. Prophet Muhammad was disturbed and panicked after witnessing a solar eclipse. Muhammad thought the Day of Judgment had come and that he had been abandoned by Allah. He rushed to the mosque and asked Allah for forgiveness a hundred times.

Is this truly the prophet of Almighty God? Hardly.

This is why Muhammad denied his own prophethood:

READ HERE:

MUHAMMAD IS ASKED TO PERFORM MIRACLES TO PROVE HIS PROPHETHOOD:

Surah Al-Isra 90: “And they say, ‘We will never believe you until you cause a spring to gush forth for us from the earth.’”

MUHAMMAD RESPONDS THAT HE IS NOTHING SPECIAL

Surah Al-Isra 93: “Or until you have a house of gold, or you ascend into the sky. Even then, we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down for us a book that we can read. Say, ‘Glory be to my Lord! Am I anything but a human, a messenger?’”

Muhammad never performed any miracles; he did not heal people, raise the dead, or cast out spirits. Instead, he left people troubled. Muhammad was weak.

If Muhammad thought a solar eclipse was the Day of Judgment, why should we follow someone who feared being abandoned by Allah on that day?

It turns out Muhammad had no certainty about his afterlife.

Quran 46:9 (Surah Al-Ahqaf): “Say: I am not something unheard of among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow what is revealed to me, and I am but a clear warner.”

Are we to follow Islam under the leadership of Muhammad, who was unsure if he would go to paradise or hell? A Christian who knows their faith would certainly not become a Muslim.

Truly, Muhammad was a false prophet, and Allah is opposed to the true God.

Come to Jesus, the Living One.

Shalom,

Dr. Max Shimba, servant of Jesus Christ, Almighty God and our Savior.

MUHAMMAD ACKNOWLEDGES BEING INFLUENCED BY SATAN

 MUHAMMAD ACKNOWLEDGES BEING INFLUENCED BY SATAN

Abu Huraira said, "I heard the Prophet of Allah saying, 'There is no human who has not been touched by Satan, which is why a baby cries loudly at birth because Satan has touched him, EXCEPT for Mary and her son Jesus, who were not touched by Satan.' Then Abu Huraira added, 'And I seek refuge with You for her and her offspring from Satan the accursed'" (3:36).

My dear brothers and sisters, today Muhammad has acknowledged that JESUS was never touched by Satan, but he himself and all Muslims have been touched and influenced by Satan.

Abu Huraira (r.a) narrated that "The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) had a companion from Satan since his birth" (Fat'hul Baary, Volume 6, Page 389).

روى أبو هريرة رضي الله عنه أن "النبي محمد (ص) كان مع الشيطان منذ ولادته (فتح باري ، المجلد 6 ، ص 389).

rawaa 'abu hurayrat radi allah eanh 'ana "alnabii muhamad (s) kan mae alshaytan mundh wiladatih (fath bari , almujalad 6 , s 389).

Is there any evidence that Satan was removed from Muhammad? If so, Muslims, please present it for us to see.

Shalom,

Dr. Max Shimba for Max Shimba Ministries

MUHAMMAD WAS GIVEN PROPHETHOOD BY HIS WIFE KHADIJA

 MUHAMMAD WAS GIVEN PROPHETHOOD BY HIS WIFE KHADIJA

When he was in the cave, he was influenced by Satan: In the book titled “The Great Wives and Sons of the Prophet” written by Sheikh Abdullah Saleh Al-Farsy, page 12, we read the following words:

"Then the Prophet became frightened and returned to his wife and told her what had happened; and immediately, he was struck by a severe fever, asking to be covered with clothes. He began trembling and panicking, saying, 'I fear for myself, being played by Satan and losing my mind.' Lady Khadija immediately reassured him, saying, 'Stop that; it won’t be that way. Satan cannot influence a person with qualities like yours. You are kind to your relatives, help even those who are not your own, and display good character that no one else has. You do this and that. Take heart, my dear. Rest your mind, Wallahi! I see you have become a prophet.'"

In this incident that happened to Muhammad in the cave, Muslims around the world interpret this as the moment when Muhammad received revelation and was given prophecy and prophethood. However, when you reflect on the message, you see that even he himself did not know what had happened to him in the cave.

That’s why, when he arrived home, his wife, Khadija, covered him with a cloth, thinking he had a fever. Muhammad told his wife what had happened, fearing it was "Satan," not mentioning any angel, as Muslims want us to believe today. Because if it were an angel, as we read in the Bible, the angel would have identified himself to Muhammad. This is the first point.

In the end, Lady Khadija established her husband Muhammad’s prophethood.

Today, you have learned that Muhammad was given prophethood by his wife.

It is I, Dr. Max Shimba, servant of Jesus Christ, the Almighty God.

IF ALLAH IS NOT A PAGAN GOD, WHY WAS MUHAMMAD'S FATHER, WHO WAS A PAGAN, NAMED ABDULLAH?

 IF ALLAH IS NOT A PAGAN GOD, WHY WAS MUHAMMAD'S FATHER, WHO WAS A PAGAN, NAMED ABDULLAH?

(Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0398).

Reported by Anas: Indeed, a man said, "Messenger of Allah, where is my father?" He replied, "He is in hell." When he was about to leave, (the holy Prophet) called him back and said, "Indeed, my father and your father are in hell."

The question we would like them to consider is, why was Muhammad’s father, who was a pagan, named ‘Abdullah’?

Since ‘Abdullah’ means ‘servant of Allah,’ this is a clear indication that the pagans of the time of ignorance (jahiliyah) were worshiping Allah to the point of naming their children in honor of Allah — just as the Jews gave their children names in honor of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

For example:

• Joshua – Yahweh is salvation;

• Jotham – Yahweh is perfect;

• Jehoahaz – Yahweh has held;

• Hezekiah – Yahweh has strengthened;

• Elisha – God is salvation, etc.

The answer is clear. Allah was a pagan god worshiped before the arrival of Islam. This god was the ‘moon god,’ or ‘al-ilah.’ Another name for him was ‘Hubal.’ This pagan god was worshiped throughout the Middle East, not by Arabs alone.

Shalom,

Dr. Max Shimba, servant of Jesus Christ, the Almighty God and our Savior.

THE WEAKNESS OF ALLAH AND REASONS WHY ALLAH IS NOT AKBAR (GREATEST)

 THE WEAKNESS OF ALLAH AND REASONS WHY ALLAH IS NOT AKBAR (GREATEST)

In today’s lesson, I would like us to examine several aspects in which the Islamic Allah lacks power and authority.

Muslims claim that Islam is the religion of Allah, yet this Allah is incapable of the following:

He admits that no one can help him in his weakness!

Quran 17:111: “And say: Praise be to Allah, who has not taken a son, and who has no partner in sovereignty, and who needs no helper due to weakness. And glorify Him with great glorification.”

QUESTIONS!

1. What is the nature of Allah’s weakness?

2. Why do Muslims fight on behalf of this weak Allah?

Examples of Allah’s Limitations:

1. Allah cannot dwell within humans (Allah is not omnipresent).

2. Allah cannot speak or understand any language other than Arabic:

   • Refer to Majlisi, Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 11, pg. 56; vol. 8, pg. 218 and 286; vol. 10, pg. 81; Tafsir Majma’ul-Bayan, vol. 2, pg. 206.

3. Allah does not hear or answer prayers not made in Arabic:

   • Refer to Tawfiqi, Husein, Arabi, Nemune’i az Zabane Moqaddas, and Haft Aseman Periodical, no. 27.

4. Allah cannot hear prayers unless they are directed toward Mecca (Quran 2:148-149).

5. Allah cannot stop Satan from living in your nostrils while you sleep (Sahih Muslim, Book 002, Number 0462).

6. Allah cannot prevent Satan from urinating in your ears while you sleep (Bukhari vol. 2 no. 245).

7. Allah cannot defend his scriptures despite claiming otherwise (Quran 15:90-93).

8. Allah does not hear prayers if a woman, a dog, or a donkey passes in front of the praying person (Sahih Bukhari 1:9:490, 1:9:493).

9. Allah relies on Muslims to kill and torture those who reject Islam instead of defending his own religion (Quran 9:29; Bukhari vol. 4:196, vol. 1:35).

10. Allah does not love anyone except his slaves (al-Tirmidhi, 2396; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani).

11. Allah could not protect his prophet Muhammad from a Jewish widow’s poison (Aal ‘Imraan 3:31; al-Tirmidhi).

12. Allah failed to protect Muslims from the powerful message of Paul, who is claimed by Muslims to have “invented Christianity.”

13. Allah cannot save women from Hell because they are allegedly weak creatures (Sura 37:22-23; Bukhari 2:28; Sahih Bukhari 2:18:161, 7:62:125).

14. Allah could not perform miracles through Muhammad to validate his prophethood, unlike the biblical prophets who performed mighty acts to demonstrate their divine calling.

Additional Limitations:

• Allah cannot have a son without a wife.

• Allah could not establish his dominance or authenticity without the forceful support of his followers.

Conclusion:

Why would anyone choose to believe in Allah, who is described with so many weaknesses, over Yahweh, the God of love, wisdom, and all authority? I will follow Jesus, the Almighty God (YHWH), because with Him, nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37).

May God bless you abundantly.

THE TRINITY PROVED USING MATHEMATICS

 

THE TRINITY PROVED USING MATHEMATICS

Wednesday, November 16, 2016

There have been numerous claims and arguments regarding the issue of the Trinity. Some argue that adding 1+1+1 equals 3, not ONE as those who believe in the Trinity claim.

The main problem lies not in the addition itself but in the rules or principles of mathematics being used for the addition. Today, at Max Shimba Ministries, we will answer everyone's question about the mathematical concept of 1+1+1 = 1.

Is it possible or impossible?

MATHEMATICS HAS ITS PRINCIPLES THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED

Fortunately, here at Max Shimba Ministries, we are well-versed in these mathematical principles.

Regarding the Trinity, it involves three numbers, and therefore its rule must follow "Ternary Addition" instead of "Base Ten Addition", which many people mistakenly use to calculate without even realizing they are applying the "Base Ten" rule.

---

WHAT IS TERNARY ADDITION?

1. A Ternary number uses a Base 3, unlike Base 10, where after counting to the number 9, you return to 1 and add a zero (making it 10). In Ternary addition, your highest number is 2, and the next is 10—similar to Binary Addition, where the highest number is 1.
   (See: Binary Addition Basics)

   For more details, you can learn about Ternary Addition here:
   Ternary Arithmetic

---

NOW, LET'S PROVE THE TRINITY THROUGH MATHEMATICS

We will use the principle of Ternary Addition as follows:

---

Step A:

(1 + 1 + 1) in Ternary = 10 in Ternary.
You see, your answer is Ternary (10).

---

Step B:

Now we reduce this number (Ternary 10) by adding the two digits of 1 and 0 using the same Ternary principle:
(1 + 0) in Ternary = 1 in Ternary.

---

Conclusion:

We now arrive at our answer: The Trinity is mathematically validated!
Today, I have answered all those for whom mathematics is not their strong suit, showing that the Trinity can even be proven using mathematics.

---

CHALLENGE YOUR MATHEMATICS TEACHER

Ask your teacher the following:
A. What is the Ternary value of (1 + 1 + 1)?
B. What is the Ternary value of (1 + 2)?
Then ask them again:
C. What is the Ternary value of (1 + 0)?

---

Truly, God is the Creator of Mathematics, and there is nothing He cannot do.

---

SPIRITUAL BASIS FOR THE TRINITY

• The Father is called God (1 Corinthians 8:6).

• The Son (Jesus) is called God (Isaiah 9:6; John 20:26-29).

• The Holy Spirit is called God (Acts 5:3-4).

In Isaiah 48:16 and 61:1, the Son speaks, referencing the Father and the Holy Spirit. Compare Isaiah 61:1 with Luke 4:14-19 to see the Son speaking. In Matthew 3:16-17, during Jesus’ baptism, God the Holy Spirit is seen descending on God the Son, while God the Father declares His delight in the Son.

Other examples include Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14, which illustrate the three Persons in one God.

---

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL

I hope today's explanation settles any doubts regarding the Trinity being mathematically and spiritually valid.

Yours in Christ,
Max Shimba, Servant of Jesus Christ

THE COMPANIONS OF MUHAMMAD WHO INTRODUCED INNOVATIONS IN RELIGION WILL BE CAST INTO HELL

 THE COMPANIONS OF MUHAMMAD WHO INTRODUCED INNOVATIONS IN RELIGION WILL BE CAST INTO HELL.

IF HIS COMPANIONS, WHO WERE CLOSE TO HIM, ARE DESTINED FOR HELL, WHAT WILL BE YOUR FATE AS A MODERN-DAY MUSLIM?

You will be resurrected and gathered before Allah barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised. The first to be clothed will be Ibrahim (Abraham). However, some of my companions will be taken to the left (towards Hell), and I will say, "Oh Lord, these are my companions!" Then I will be told, "Indeed, you do not know what they introduced after you." I will respond as 'Isa (Jesus) said:

"I was a witness over them while I was among them. When You caused me to die, You were the Observer over them, and You are a Witness over all things. If You punish them, they are Your servants; if You forgive them, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." (Qur'an 5:117-118)

It will be said to me, "They continued to apostatize and turn back on their heels after you departed from them."

The Hadith Narration:

Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) stood among us and delivered a sermon, saying:
"O people! Indeed, you will be resurrected and assembled before Allah barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised, just as We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. It is a promise binding upon Us. Truly, We shall do it." (Qur'an 21:104)

He continued:
"The first to be clothed on the Day of Resurrection will be Ibrahim. Then, some men from my Ummah will be brought and taken to the left (towards Hellfire). I will say, 'O my Lord, these are my companions!' It will be said, 'You do not know what they introduced after you.' I will then say as the righteous servant [i.e., 'Isa] said:
'And I was a witness over them while I was amongst them. When You caused me to die, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.'
It will then be said to me: 'They continued to turn on their heels since you parted from them.'" (Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)

Source: Riyad as-Salihin, Chapter 10, Hadith No. 165.

---

Reflection on the Day of Judgment:

On the Day of Judgment, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) will admit that he is unaware of what occurred after his passing. Allah remains the ultimate Witness, Guardian, and Overseer until the Day of Judgment.

Likewise, the Prophet explains the words of 'Isa (Jesus), confirming their meaning:
"I was a witness over them while I was among them. When You caused me to die, You were the Observer over them."
This statement clarifies that 'Isa (Jesus) had no knowledge of what his followers did after his departure, whether they worshiped him or innovated in the religion. Similarly, after Muhammad's passing, Allah remained the sole Guardian and Witness over the actions of his followers.

---

Contemporary Misinterpretations:

It is astonishing that some Muslims today invoke Muhammad directly in their prayers, as seen in the Tashahhud during Salah:
"As-Salaamu 'Alaika Ayyuha-Nabiyyu" ("Peace be upon you, O Prophet").

Yet, according to this hadith, Muhammad himself will declare that he is unaware of the actions or innovations of his followers after his death. This raises questions about practices introduced posthumously and the authenticity of their origins.

Understanding these teachings underscores the importance of adhering strictly to the original message of Islam and avoiding innovations (bid’ah) that deviate from the Prophet’s guidance.

ISHMAEL WAS NEITHER AN ARAB NOR A MUSLIM

 

2. HISTORICAL AND FAITH-BASED EVIDENCE PROVE THAT MUHAMMAD HAS NO CONNECTION TO ISHMAEL BEYOND A FALSE CLAIM.
   ALLAH NEVER SPOKE TO ISHMAEL, NOT EVEN ONCE.
   MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN DEFENDING ISHMAEL BY USING THE BIBLE!
   THERE IS NO VERSE IN WHICH ALLAH STATES THAT ISHMAEL WAS A MUSLIM.
   IT TURNS OUT ISLAM IS A MAN-MADE RELIGION.

   Dear reader,
   Muslims have developed a tendency to cling to Ishmael and claim that he was related to Muhammad of Islam. However, when we read the books of God and history, there is no place where it is written that Ishmael, whose mother was African, had any connection to Muhammad of Islam.

   Let us read this evidence here:

   Genesis 21:14
   Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the desert of Beersheba.
   15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes.
   16 Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.” And as she sat there, she began to sob.
   17 God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.
   18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
   19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
   20 God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became an archer.
   21 While he was living in the Desert of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from Egypt.

   In verse 21 of Genesis Chapter 21, we learn that Ishmael’s wife came from Africa, and he was not an Arab.

   Brethren, Islam is a fabricated religion.
   It has no solid foundation and heavily relies on appropriating Christianity and Judaism.
   Islam cannot be taught without Christianity. Allah cannot exist without Jehovah. Muhammad cannot claim to be a prophet without the existence of God and Jesus.

   The Ishmael of Islam cannot be understood without Muslims stealing from and using the complete and flawless Bible.

   Furthermore, there is no evidence proving that Ishmael married a Jurhumite woman. The Holy Bible confirms that Ishmael married a woman from Egypt, Africa.

   Let us examine another piece of evidence here:

   Genesis 25:12-18
   These are the family records of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s slave, bore to Abraham.
   13 These are the names of Ishmael’s sons, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth (Ishmael’s firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
   14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
   15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
   16 These are Ishmael’s sons, and these are their names by their settlements and encampments: twelve leaders of their clans.
   17 This is the length of Ishmael’s life: 137 years. He took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people.
   18 They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt as you go toward Asshur. He stayed near all his relatives.

   We have read that Ishmael’s descendants lived on the border of Egypt and not in the Arab or Saudi regions.

   Why, then, do Muslims cling to Ishmael?

   Muslims hold onto Ishmael to establish a connection with Abraham, who was Isaac's father. Muhammad knew that if he admitted he had no connection to Abraham, no one would follow his fabricated religion of Islam.

   ALLAH NEVER SPOKE TO ISHMAEL, NOT EVEN ONCE.
   MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN DEFENDING ISHMAEL BY USING THE BIBLE!
   THERE IS NO VERSE WHERE ALLAH SAYS ISHMAEL WAS A MUSLIM.
   THIS ONLY PROVES THAT THE QURAN IS A BOOK OF DOUBTS!

   1. There is no place in the Quran where it shows that Allah spoke to Ishmael, nor does it say that Allah made him a great nation or that he would father twelve princes!

   2. There is no place in the Bible where it shows that the late Muhammad descended from Ishmael, let alone mentioning his name!

   Since they rely on the Bible, let them tell us, between Isaac and Ishmael, who was offered by Abraham as a burnt sacrifice?
   (Genesis 22:1-18)

   Without Satan distorting the Scriptures of the Bible, Islam cannot be preached!

   ISLAM IS A DEPENDENT RELIGION.

   Now Muslims, answer the following questions:

   1. Provide historical evidence before the birth of Muhammad that Ishmael was a Muslim.

3. Explain why there is no mention of Ishmael in the Quran as having received any direct communication from Allah.

4. If Ishmael was a Muslim, why did his descendants, as mentioned in the Bible, live near Egypt and not in the Arabian Peninsula?

The burden of proof lies with Muslims who claim Ishmael was a Muslim and an ancestor of Muhammad. Until they can produce irrefutable evidence, the claim remains baseless and unsupported.

ISHMAEL AND THE FABRICATIONS ABOUT ISLAM

When we examine the origins of Islam, it becomes clear that it has heavily borrowed from Judeo-Christian traditions, selectively incorporating figures like Ishmael to establish a lineage and legitimacy. However, history and Scripture expose these claims as unfounded.

Genesis confirms that Ishmael’s lineage and geographical settlements are not connected to Arabia or the Islamic narrative.

• Ishmael married an Egyptian woman, aligning him with African descent rather than Arab ancestry.

• His descendants settled in regions bordering Egypt, not in areas traditionally associated with Islam or Muhammad’s lineage.

ISLAM'S DEPENDENCE ON CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM
Islam cannot stand independently without referencing Judeo-Christian Scriptures. Muhammad claimed to continue the legacy of previous prophets, yet his assertions lack support from historical or biblical evidence.

The Bible provides no indication of Muhammad or his alleged connection to Ishmael.
Muslims rely on distorting biblical narratives to fit their agenda. The Quran itself remains silent on many of these claims, leaving a void filled by fabricated traditions and interpretations.

CONCLUSION

Islam’s reliance on Ishmael to establish legitimacy is an attempt to create a connection with Abraham. However, neither history nor Scripture supports the idea that Ishmael was a Muslim or that Muhammad was his descendant. The fabricated claims surrounding Ishmael only highlight the dependent and derivative nature of Islam.

It is clear that Ishmael’s story, as told in the Bible, stands in stark contrast to the narrative promoted by Islam. Without credible evidence, the Muslim claim of Ishmael as a precursor to Muhammad remains a constructed myth, not historical fact.

Questions for Muslims:

• Where is the evidence that Ishmael was a Muslim before Muhammad’s birth?

• Why does the Quran lack direct statements affirming Ishmael’s Muslim identity or connection to Muhammad?

• How do you reconcile the Bible’s account of Ishmael’s lineage and settlement with Islamic claims?

These unanswered questions reveal the inconsistencies and fabrications within the Islamic narrative regarding Ishmael.

The Love of Jesus: A Reflection on Divine Compassion and Sacrifice

 

The Love of Jesus: A Reflection on Divine Compassion and Sacrifice

The love of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith, embodying sacrificial, unconditional, and transformative love. This love transcends human understanding and offers salvation, healing, and eternal life to all who believe in Him. Below, we explore the profound love of Jesus with supporting Bible verses.

---

1. Unconditional Love

Jesus' love is not based on human merit but freely given to everyone, regardless of their past or current state. He loves us at our worst and calls us to experience His grace.

Romans 5:8:
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

This verse highlights that Jesus loved humanity so deeply that He gave His life even when we were undeserving.

---

2. Sacrificial Love

The ultimate demonstration of Jesus' love is found in His sacrificial death on the cross. This act paid the penalty for humanity's sins and reconciled us with God.

John 15:13:
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

Jesus willingly bore the weight of sin and death, showing the greatest act of love through His sacrifice.

John 3:16:
"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."

This well-known verse captures the essence of Jesus' love for humanity, a love that leads to eternal life for those who believe in Him.

---

3. Healing and Compassionate Love

Throughout His ministry, Jesus demonstrated love through acts of compassion, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and comforting the brokenhearted.

Matthew 14:14:
"When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick."

His love was not only spiritual but also tangible, addressing the immediate needs of those around Him.

Luke 19:10:
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."

Jesus’ mission was driven by His love for the lost, showing that no one is beyond the reach of His care.

---

4. A Love That Forgives

Jesus’ love is forgiving, erasing the sins of those who repent and believe. His forgiveness extends even to those who wronged Him, as seen during His crucifixion.

Luke 23:34:
"Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.’"

This prayer demonstrates that Jesus' love is unyielding, even in the face of rejection and suffering.

Ephesians 1:7:
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace."

---

5. Everlasting Love

Jesus’ love is eternal and unchanging. It provides hope and assurance for believers, promising a future with Him in glory.

Romans 8:38-39:
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

This passage reassures us that no force in existence can separate us from the love of Jesus.

---

6. A Love That Calls for Imitation

Jesus calls His followers to emulate His love in their relationships with others.

John 13:34-35:
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

Through loving others, believers reflect the love of Jesus and serve as a testament to His transformative power.

---

Conclusion

The love of Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of divine love—sacrificial, forgiving, healing, eternal, and unconditional. It is a love that saves and sustains, offering hope and purpose to all who receive it.

As believers, we are called to dwell in this love and share it with the world. The Apostle Paul beautifully summarizes this in Ephesians 3:17-19:
"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

Jesus' love is an invitation to a relationship with God, a source of comfort in trials, and the key to eternal life. Let us cherish and proclaim this love daily.
