It's the devil's work my bro. The devil played into the emotions of the Christians by exalting Jesus (may peace and blessing of God be upon him) above what he is (prophet of God)

KhalDroggo:


How exactly did the devil play upon Christians? If I had to choose between a decent, peace loving, miracle worker and an illiterate "prophet" who married a 6 year old girl and promised virgins in paradise, I know which one I would choose. And I know which one originates with the devil

As Salam Alaykum Wa rahmatullah Wa barakatuh

This article is a Tafsir on Surah Yusuf (as). A beautiful story is that of Yusuf (as), the beloved son of Yaqub (as) His future greatness was prefigured in a vision, but his brothers were filled with envy and hate. The story of Yusuf (as) is a classic example of sibling rivalry gone too far, similar to the beginning of time when Kabil killed his brother Habil because of jealousy.

Here, Yusuf’s (as) brothers schemed to kill him, but eventually sold him into slavery. There aer several lessons to be learnt from the story of Yusuf (as), but an important one if for parents to make it a key prayer point that Allah, Al Wadud – the loving, should put love of each other into the hearts of their children. Shytan is an open enemy, and there is nothing he won’t do to sow seeds of hatred in the hearts of man. Pray therefore, from a very young age that Allah should make your children friends unto each other. May his love continue to encompass us AMIN.

(When Joseph said unto his father: O my father! Lo! I saw in a dream) that I dreamt during the day (eleven planets) they came down from their orbits and prostrated themselves before me, a prostration of greeting these are his brothers who were eleven in number-(and the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating themselves unto me) he says: and I saw the sun and the moon coming down from their orbits and prostrated themselves before me, a prostration of greeting-these are his parents: Rachel and Jacob. Q12 VS 4


Allah says, “Mention to your people, O Mohammed, among the stories that you narrate to them, the story of Yusuf.” Yusuf (as) was one of the chosen ones of Allah. His father was Yaqub (as), son of Ishaq (as), the younger son of Ibraham (as) from where the Jews took their lineage; the elder son being Ismail (as), from whom the Arabs took their lineage. Ibrahim (as) may therefore be called, the father of the line of Semitic prophesy. Yaqub (as) had four wives. From three of them, he had ten sons. In his old age, he had from Rahil (Rachael), a very beautiful woman, two sons, Yusuf (as) and Binyamin.

Abdullah bin Abbas stated that the dream of Prophets are revelations from Allah. Scholars of Tafsir explained that in Yusuf’s (as) dream, the eleven stars represent his brothers, who were eleven, and the sun and the moon represent his father and mother. Yusuf’s (as) vision became a reality fourty years later or as some say, eighty years. Allah knows best.

Dreams are powerful, and if Yusuf (as) was to be the elect, he must understand and interpret signs and events aright. The imagination of the pure sees truths, which those not so endowed cannot understand. The dreams of the righteous prefigure great events, while the dreams of the futile are mere idle futilities. Even things that happen to us are often like dreams.

PRAYER: Oh Allah! I beg of Thee accelerated prosperity, noble patience, ample sustenance and safety from all trials, and I beg of Thee perfect and lasting peace that I may be grateful for it.

Jesus (pbuh) never said he was God. It was after he was gone (not dead) that the latter Christian claimed he is God. Calling Muhammad(pbuh) an "illiterate" is in fact a compliment and acknowledgement of the fact that he is a prophet. An illiterate with 1400 years old Quran (no alterations and no addition) with scientific proven accuracy! According to your Bible Mary was 12 when she was bethroted to 90years old Joseph. Aisha was 9 and not 6 and the marriage was not even consummated at that age.

KhalDroggo:



The Bible refers to Mary as a woman whenever she is mentioned: Luke 1:42"Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!" A woman is not a girl and there is nowhere in the Bible where children are allowed to get married.

Also in the Bible, women have the right to marry whoever they want. When their father wanted to arrange marriages for them,
the daughters of Zelophehad petitioned God and this was his response:

Numbers 36:6 This is the thing which the Lord doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best.........


As for the proof of Christ's divinity, there are so many scriptural examples:
Matthew 1:23 - “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 43:10,11 - “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no Savior.”

Revelation 1:17-18; Revelation 2:8 - (Jesus is the First and the Last)

2 Peter 1:1 (Jesus is the Redeemer) - “To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ”


As for the koran being a perfectly preserved book, Ibn Masoud's koran has only 111 chapters
, Ubayy Bin Ka’ab's koran has 116 chapters while Zaid Ibn Thabit's koran which is the most common quran of today only has 114 chapters.

Even those 114 chapters in Zaid's koran have been edited the reign of Caliph Abd al-Malik Ibn Marawan by a man called Al-Hajjaj Ibn Yusuf Al-Thakafi, who lived in the years AD 660-714, was a teacher of the Arabic language in the city of Taif. For brevity's sake we will only mention a few of these changes:

1. In Surah Yunus 10:22, he changed the word yanshorokom, which means "spread you," to yousayerokom, which means "makes you to go on."

2. In Surah Ash-Shuara 26:116, he changed the word Al-Mukhrageen, which means "the cast out," to Al-Margoomeen, which means "those who are to be stoned [to death]."

3. In Surah Ash-Shuara 26:167, he changed the word Min Al-Margoomeen, which means "those who are to be stoned to death," to Al-Mukhrageen, which means "those who will assuredly be cast out."

4. In Surah Muhammad 47:15, he changed the word yasen, which is poor Arabic to Asen, which means "unpolluted."

5. In Surah al-Hadid 57:7, he changed the word wataqu, which means "feared Allah," to Wa-anfaqu, which means "spend in charity."

So how old was Mary at the time of her bethrotal?
On the issue of consent of the daughter, in the same bible Solomon had multitudes of wives and several concubines. Another slept with his daughters.
On the issue of divinity of Jesus divinity, Jesus said he can of himself do nothing, and in the mount of Gethsemane he screamed "Eli Eli lama sabastani".
You conjured up the hadiths up there from the thin air.
