Of course ISAAC was born "Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."" - Genesis 22:2 Remember by this time, Abraham has sent Hagar and her son Ishmael away. So only Isaac was left. Get your facts right, or don't utter a word on what you do not know !! |

I have not read the koran but i have read the bible,according to the bible it was Issac,in my view i will agree with the Muslims. Reasonably the first son was Ishmael NOT Issac,God said that Abraham should sacrifice his ONLY son which was Ishnael,this means that Issac was not yet born. |

LagosShia: please mahn,it was from your online Koran. It clearly states that Allah appeared in a stately form and conveyed the message
why are you covering up in ignorance,it clearly and i repeat, clearly states that it is ALLAH, and Mohammad saw him and was the first to believe.
This verse says it was Allah,without compromise, my other verse says it was Gabriel,without compromise.
On my bolded,is Mohammad the servant of Gabriel or Allah? or is Allah and Gabriel (2) in (1) god? You tried as much as possible not to include Allah, neither did you prove it is Gabriel. From the online site I got it, Yusuf Ali's comments even boasted of Allah appearance to his servant in a manly form,and you are here covering their, and the Koran's mess.
Many verses says he cant be seen,while some says he can be seen.
I thought Mohammad was the first to believe? Mohammad lied, and the Koran lied too. |

@Lagosshia, I'm waiting to see what you will come up with next in the light of this fallacy/error. |
Re: Ishmael Or Isaac? The Koran Or The Bible? by LagosShia: 3:00pm On Dec 09, 2011 |
Judek2: we are talking here of the same verse in chapter 53 of the Holy Quran verses no 5 & 10. known as "Surat An-Najm".the verse appears with pronouns.what you did is to make use of brackets and inject the word "ALLAH" in a bracket to support your confusion that the verse is talking about Allah appearing to Muhammad.the translation i provided (as you can see it below one more time) does not include brackets.it translates the verses from the orginal arabic verbatim without added interpretation through the use of parenthesis.for you to understand who appeared and who did not,you simply need to read from verse 3 to verse 19 as you can see the passage below. Quran 53:3-18 “It is not but a revelation revealed, Taught to him by one intense in strength -One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form. While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon. Then he approached and descended. And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer. And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed. The heart did not lie [about] what it saw. So will you dispute with him over what he saw? And he certainly saw him in another descent. At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -Near it is the Garden of Refuge -When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it]. The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit]. He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.[/b] here is the translation you presented and examine it to see your foul play of placing names where pronouns appear or the foul play of whoever you copied it from:
here are your bolded bolded: 1.) "And he rose to [his] true form" 2.) "And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed". here is what the pronouns mean: "And he (Gabriel) rose to his true form" "And he (Gabriel) revealed to His (Allah's) Servant what he (Gabriel) revealed". note that the pronoun (he) that appears for Gabriel,the letter "h" is not capitalized.while the pronoun (He) that appears for Allah,the letter "H" is capitalized. then,after the entire narration,the last verse of the narration says it all: "He (Muhammad) certainly saw of the greatest signs (Gabriel and his revelations) of his Lord (Allah)". note that the last verse (no.19) does not say at all that Muhammad (sa) saw his Lord but it says that Muhammad (sa) saw "signs of his Lord". i have gone a step further to prove that it is Gabriel (as) that appeared and not Allah.i hope you for once accept the truth of the matter. please present the link of the website where Yusuf Ali boasted of Allah's appearance to His servant.i want to examine it if you are truthful. no sir.that is not the case.if that is the case it will amount to contradiction.rather,all the verses i presented show that Allah cannot be seen and was not seen.the verses you presented as Allah appearing to Muhammad (sa) is based on your confusion and misinterpretation of the pronouns. both Muhammad (sa) and Moses (as) were the first believers among their peoples.Muhammad (sa) and Moses (as) did not live in the same period of time.they lived about 2000 years apart. |

plappville: you dont have to be parading yourself in the streets for you to behave like one.your husband must really be having a terrible time living with you.our Prophet (sa) had utmost respect for women and according to hadiths i can provide you with.but as for your bible,your so called holy book,here is how women are maltreated: "Women In Christianity And The Bible" https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-821509.0.html

if facing the Ka'ba is idolatry then the bible God also supports idolatry: Daniel 10: 11-12 “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber towards Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God as he did aforetime.” Jonah 2:4-7 "Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple". 1 Kings 8:29 "That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place". Genesis 28:18 "Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it". Genesis 31:13 "I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred". |

@Lagoshia, here is the website. Http://www.muslimaccess.com/quraan/arabic/053.asp 53:2 Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled. Ma dalla sahibukum wamaghawa 53:3 Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire. Wama yantiqu AAani alhawa 53:4 It is no less than inspiration sent down to him: In huwa illa wahyun yooha 53:5 He was taught by one Mighty in Power, AAallamahu shadeedu alquwa 53:6 Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared (in stately form); Thoo mirratin faistawa[/b] 53:7 While he was in the highest part of the horizon: Wahuwa bial-ofuqi al-aAAla 53:8 Then he approached and came closer, Thumma dana fatadalla 53:9 And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer; Fakana qaba qawsayni aw adna 53:10 So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey. Faawha ila AAabdihi maawha 53:11 The (Prophet's) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw. Ma kathaba alfu-adu maraa They even translated it in Arabic. Your Koran is a 5th hand commodity |
Re: Ishmael Or Isaac? The Koran Or The Bible? by Judek2(m): 5:21pm On Dec 09, 2011 |
Maka Chi,!! @Lagoshia, what you wrote above is very ridiculous. Why not remove (his) entirely and put Allah's servant because (his (Allah's) servant) is rather irrational or go and complain to a Koran editor. |
Re: Ishmael Or Isaac? The Koran Or The Bible? by LagosShia: 5:52pm On Dec 09, 2011 |
hey Judek,here is the claim you made in the previous post: Judek2: the link you presented did not contain the "comments" of Yusuf Ali and neither did i find him boasting as you claimed that Allah appeared to Muhammad. so you have lied on Yusuf Ali.you should apologize for that. Judek2: in the arabic above it says: Fa awha ila Abd[b]ihi[/b] ma awha.it means "and he revealed unto His servant what he revealed".that is translation word for word.the verse in arabic does not include the word "Allah" in arabic.you can confirm from anyone who can read arabic. and furthermore,the above translation does not prove at all that Allah appeared to Muhammad.it only translated (not word for word) but the meaning of the verse that Allah revealed something unto His Servant which is ofcourse through Gabriel if we are to translate word for word. another point,based on the translation you copied which is also correct,is that the verse says :"Allah conveyed inspiration to His servant".clearly,the verse does not claim that Allah appeared.that is not in the translation. |

LagosShia: I admit that the link I posted didnt contain a comment from Yusuf Ali. .Its a mistake of another comment,"not Yusuf Ali"
You can post and claim anything in Arabic,i'm not interested. I'm dealing with the English translation available.
Every sentence on that in literal English claims and points direct finger to Allah. Some included Allah in bracket some did not. It says So did [Allah] convey the inspiration to his servant This clearly states of the first persons message. He conveyed it to his own servant,by himself not through anybody. Since Mohammad is not Gabriel's servant or(slave). Or is he? |
Re: Ishmael Or Isaac? The Koran Or The Bible? by Judek2(m): 10:13pm On Dec 10, 2011 |
LagosShia: [53:4] It was divine inspiration. [53:5] Dictated by the Most Powerful. [53:6] Possessor of all authority.From [b]His highest height.[/b] [53:7] At the highest horizon. [53:8] He drew nearer by moving down. [53:9] Until He became as close as possible. [53:10] He then revealed to His servant what was to be revealed The same person who is the most powerful,who posses all authority from his own highest height,drew nearer by moving down,until he came close enough,(to the view of Mohammad), so the same person revealed to his own servant what was to be revealed. Surely Mohammad saw Allah because he came close enough,the other verses states that he saw what he saw,because he saw him the secont time. Is Gabriel the most powerful? Possesion of all authority from his highest height? Or is Mohammad Gabriel's servant? The whole verses is Self explanatery. |
Re: Ishmael Or Isaac? The Koran Or The Bible? by LagosShia: 10:38pm On Dec 10, 2011 |
Judek2: my friend your ignorance would not be my limitation.i have told you in arabic there is a pronoun used and not the word "ALLAH".you keep insisting it is Allah that appeared.suit yourself. I am a Muslim and i do not believe that Chapter 53 says that God showed Himself to Muhammad (sa).all argument aside,reading the finally verse in the sequence of the narration which is verse no.18 in Chapter 53 shows that God revealed His signs to Muhammad (sa) and it does not say God revealed "Himself". "He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord".(Holy Quran 53:18) so if you want to believe it was God that appeared to Muhammad (sa),that would be your christian belief and not a muslim belief.I do not believe God can be seen just the way i do not believe there is any possibility for something called trinity to exist.whatever interpretation you cling on to would be a christian belief and not a muslim one. |

Re: Ishmael Or Isaac? The Koran Or The Bible? by LagosShia: 10:25am On Dec 13, 2011 |
Judek2: to us the Quran is very easy to read and understand and we thank God.you keep stopping at verse no.10.the sequence of the narration ends at verse no.18.verse number 18 says:"He saw the greatest signs of his Lord".the verse does not say he saw his Lord. now you have entered into a new game called "exaggeration".you are now using words and using bad translations to distort the meaning of the verse.what do you mean by "possessor of all authority"?is that what appears in the verse? the verse says :"one strong in authority".you can play with words and convince yourself. the Quran is for muslims and we are happy at the way it is.if you want to interprete it your way even when your eyes have being stretched open to see the light,that is your business.at least i know within my conscience i have done my best to explain it to you and show you explicitly that your interpretation is wrong and it goes against verse no.18 in chapter 53. |
Re: Ishmael Or Isaac? The Koran Or The Bible? by proo212(m): 11:22am On Dec 13, 2011 |
Lagosshia after reading this translation from this website and the commentary (http://www.quranenglish.com/tafheem_quran/053.htm) Even the narrators are not sure who the one awesome in power is (Gabriel or Allah). They leaned on gabriel as the one who was all mighty and powerful (another fallacy on their part) but accepted in this regard to be the one who reveals. I stand to be corrected, Does Mohammed know God face to face, does he interact with God mouth to mouth? Even you Lagosshia were not happy with him quoting the surah 53 and stopping at verse 10. You said if he read all the way to verse 18 you will get a better picture. I will also say that using Deut 18, start from verse 15 all the way to the end to get the exact picture of that prophesy. Would you do that for me? Kind Regards |
Re: Ishmael Or Isaac? The Koran Or The Bible? by LagosShia: 1:04pm On Dec 13, 2011 |
proo212:i'm officially done with the subject on chapter 53.you can confuse yourself as you like.but you stand no chance to confuse me or teach me what you dont know. fools! chapter 53 of the Quran narrates a story that ends at verse 18.deuteronomy 18:18 whether it starts at verse 0 or ends at verse 100,it is a prophecy.you can interprete as you like and so would i do.the one who sounds reasonable will make sense. see here for the interpretation: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-819005.32.html#msg9751890 |

Lagosshia, Please lets be civil here. I have never insulted you so you shouldn't call me a fool. The passage we are discussing is from your own book in chapter 53. You can try and remove yourself from the discussion which is not an issue for me. God forbid I teach you the quran because i am not versed in it and i only read it for reference in such a discussion. I don't need to pray before I read it because it is supposed to be easy to understand for the common man. Please, once again no insults. If the truth is not obvious enough to you, that is also fine, there's no harm done. |

[b]18:15-25: 15The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. 17And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. 18I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 20But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 22When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. [/b] here is from 15-22. SO now tell in each Chapter of the Holy Quran none except one start with the name God proof me wrong, but in Bible its not like that. |

Bashy-Demy, you've come to this thread to say the same things we've been discussing in the other thread. Nothing changes, you need to give up looking for Mohammed in the bible. You will never find him. I understand your prophet asked you to ask the people of the book what was revealed before but he isn't in the bible. If so there is no case for your prophet and you need to seek the truth in the word of God, The Bible and get to know the man behind the book. Not as you've always seen him as a.mere prophet but as the begotten Son of God who died for your sins, "That Prophet" you've been searching for in Deutoronomy 18. Good night and God bless. The choice is entirely yours. |
