@Abdulsalam20,

There is also this hadith



And clearly more and more people are pledging allegiance to Al-Baghdadi. Personally I dont believe he is the "one", but what is happening now will give you an insight of what will happen when the real one comes. Christians who are civil servants have been made jobless. Business owners who are Christians cannot do business because they will not pledge allegiance to the Caliph. Does that sound familiar? Rev 13:15-17



There are a lot people saying that they are not muslims, at that time there will be no uncertainty of who he is because he will unite all the sects that are warring against each other at the present time.

gidjah: [s]Sura 9:5 -
When the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters,
wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege
them and lie in wait for them in every ambush. But if they
repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor rate, leave their
way free. Surely Allah is forgiving, Merciful.
Sura 9:123- Oh you who believe, fight those of the disbelievers
who are near to you and let them find firmness with you . And
know that Allah is with those who keep their duty.
@OP
I don't know where you live o, or how old you are, but as for
me, a Nigerian who grew up in Kaduna State in the eightees
and nineties, you can never convince me that violence and
terrorism is not a facet of Islam.
I witnessed too many incidences of Muslims pouring out of a
mosque after Friday prayers and embarking on a killing, looting
and burning spree, all the while shouting Allahu Akbar!
do not mind him my dear,i lived in kad all my life,til date ,my
parent stil live there.u said d truth pls[/s]
i tried to ignore this but i feel you might feel what you post is right THERE IS ONE THING IN ISLAM EVERYTHING IS BACKED UP BY HISTORY LET ME EXPLAIN IT TO U:
This verse is quoted during a battle. ...We know that America was once at war
with Vietnam. Suppose the President of America or the General of the
American Army told the American soldiers during the war: "Wherever you find
the Vietnamese, kill them". Today if I say that the American President said,
"Wherever you find Vietnamese, kill them" without giving the context, I will
make him sound like a butcher. But if I quote him in context, that he said it
during a war, it will sound very logical, as he was trying to boost the morale
of the American soldiers during the war. ...Similarly in Surah Taubah chapter
9 verse 5 the Qur'an says, "Kill the Mushriqs (pagans) where ever you find
them", during a battle to boost the morale of the Muslim soldiers. What the
Qur'an is telling Muslim soldiers is, don't be afraid during battle; wherever you
find the enemies kill them. Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 6 gives the answer
to the allegation that Islam promotes violence, brutality and bloodshed. It
SAYS


"If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he
may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure
that is because they are men without knowledge." [Al-Qur'an 9:6]

The Qur'an not only says that a Mushriq seeking asylum during the battle
should be granted refuge, but also that he should be escorted to a secure
place. In the present international scenario, even a kind, peace-loving army
General, during a battle, may let the enemy soldiers go free, if they want
peace. But which army General will ever tell his soldiers, that if the enemy
soldiers want peace during a battle, don't just let them go free, but also
escort them to a place of security? This is exactly what Allah (swt) says in
the Glorious Qur'an to promote peace in the world.

Re: I Am A Muslim ,i Despise Bokoharam by Josh1000: 12:18am On Sep 30, 2014
orimahspence:
I'm a Nigerian,I was born a Muslim and I still remain one, I despise bokoharam terrorists and all that they represent. In fact, despise is not even a strong enough word to convey my true feelings about those who kill innocent people in the name of Islam. I hate them with every fiber of my being.

I'm not going to tell you, "Islam is a religion of peace." Nor will I tell you that Islam is a religion of violence. What I will say is that Islam is a religion that, like Christianity and Judaism, is intended to bring you closer to God. And sadly we have seen people use the name of each of these Abrahamic faiths to wage and justify violence.

The unique problem for Muslims is that our faith is being increasingly defined by the actions of a tiny group of morally bankrupt bokoharam terrorists. Just to be clear: The people who commit violence in the name of Islam are not Muslims, they are murderers. Their true religion is hatred and inhumanity.

The only people terrorists speak for are themselves and the others involved in their despicable plot. They do not represent me, my family or any other Muslim I know. And believe me, I know a lot of Muslims.

We hate these terrorists more than non-Muslims do. How can I say that? Because they harm innocent people in the name of our religion and consequently we suffer a backlash because of their acts. It can be anything from a spike in hate crimes to people viewing Muslims as troublesome imperils because of our faith. We are the ones called to answer for the sins of people we detest.

Since the bokoharam bombings has renewed for some concerns about Muslims, I wanted to candidly answer three questions I have been asked repeatedly over the years:

1. Why do some Muslims commit terrorism?

I'm not a terrorism expert but I will share the view of those I have spoken to in the Muslim community. There can be no doubt that some Muslims wrongly believe that their terrorist act is sanctioned by Islam. But to us their true motivation is not religious, but rather political.

Islam is simply used by terrorists as a way to recruit support.They then engage in terrorism to bring attention to their grievances or to achieve their political agenda, just as other terror groups have done in the past.

The recent statement of the bokoaram terrorist group spokesman ,boasting an unachievable task of completely abohoring western education in the country further makes this very point. That expressly tell us that they have a specific political agenda

2. Why don't Muslims denounce terrorism?

Just to be clear: Nigerian Muslim organizations have unequivocally denounced and condemn bokoharam and their terror attacks. Not just once, but over and over.
http://muslimsagainstterror.com/muslims-of-nigeria-denounce-and-condemn-boko-haram/

They made it clear that The actions of Boko Haram are in clear contradiction of the tenets of Islam.

But that doesn't matter if you haven't heard it. And despite their best efforts to get this message out there, what attracts more media attention: A Muslim denouncing terrorism or footage of an explosion?

Does that mean that we will stop denouncing terrorism? Of course not. But we will have to be more creative in our efforts to attract media coverage to make this point to our fellow Nigerians
3. Why don't Muslims stop blowing stuff up?

I have never blown up anything, except maybe a model toy tank when I was a kid. Nor has any other Muslims I've met in person or even on Facebook. But still we are charged by many with the task of policing a religion of more than a billion people.

Although this may not change some people's perception, statistically Muslims have not been the ones involved in most terror plots in the United States. In fact, since 1995, 88% of the domestic terrorist plots have been by right-wing groups, ecoterrorists and anarchists, according to an analysis by the Center for American Progress. But still, 12% were Muslims.I don't use Nigeria because our country is one with poor record of statistic and non-dependable database,if we have any

Believe me, we wish that number were zero. But here's the brutal truth: Neither law enforcement nor the American Muslim community can stop every radical or criminal who happens to be Muslim. A "lone wolf" can devise his or her evil plan in secret, making detection almost impossible.

It is my hope that in time, Muslims will not be defined to my fellow Nigerians by the handful of terrorists, but by the millions of others who are involved in all aspects of Nigerian life. Well-known Nigerian Muslims range from The Richest man in Africa, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Saultan saad Abubakar III, The sultan of Sokoto, The late Arisekola Also, Aare musulumi of yoruba land, to police officers, teachers, judges, Government workers, cab drivers and the millions of Nigerian Muslims in between.

These people, not the terrorists, are the true Muslims.

Dear brothers, fear only Allah.
When you see any one engaging in making bombs or terror activity,tell the police or the constituted authority

Quran says what means- whoever takes an innocent life, it is as if he has killed the entire human kind.
And whoever saves a life, it is like wise as though he has saved the entire human kind.
Quran 5:32 ..whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he has killed all mankind; and whoever saves a person, it is as if he has saved all mankind.

but they kill in the name of Islam and can prove it from the Quran

That's a good addition to the developments currently unfolding before our eyes. That hadith is near to the truth, I must say, but it may not happen exactly as the hadith says. The Bible makes it more explicit in the prophecies concerning the coming Antichrist and False Prophet. If we delve fully into that now, we will derail the topic.

But surely, the Islamists are gathering an army that would terrorize the world with endless wars under the Antichrist. That, I believe, is the purpose for which God has allowed these Takfiri insurgencies that would be incorporated into a reckless army of invasions to enforce the policies under the New World Order of the Antichrist.

This same conglomerate army of volunteers and national interests, with coalition of Magog (Russia), and Meshec and Tubal (China) and other nations would invade and occupy the whole of Palestine, including Jerusalem, and later fulfill the prophecies concerning the Armageddon war when they confront Christ in the final war.

I THINK WE SHOULD DISCUSS WHO ARE THE TRUE NTICHRIST AND WHO ARE THE FALSE PROPHETS PLS START WITH WHAT U UNDERSTAND BY ANTICHRIST AND WHY MUSLIM ARE ANTICHRIST (ONLY QUOTE FROM BIBLE AND QURAN)....AND ALSO WHY MUHAMMAD IS A FALSE PROPHET
Re: I Am A Muslim ,i Despise Bokoharam by HolyHolla(m): 8:19am On Sep 30, 2014
[quote author=gidjah][/quote]

To anyone who does not know better, you have quite a plausible defense there, except that it is a myth created to cover up for Mohammadean wars. Consider these:

1. In the account of the Battle of Badr, Muhammad sent his men out to raid caravans, then deliberately provoked a battle with the Meccan army sent out to defend them.

2. Three Jewish tribes of Medina were cleansed because they had rejected Muhammad’s claims of prophethood (and because the Muslims wanted their possessions).

3. Of the battle with Banu Mustaliq, an Arab tribe Bukhari wrote:
"The Prophet had suddenly attacked Bani Mustaliq without warning while they were heedless and their cattle were being watered at the places of water. Their fighting men were killed and their women and children were taken as captives" (Bukhari 46:717). This was without any effort at making peace with Bani Mustaliq. In this case, Muhammad's men raped the women (with his approval) after slaughtering the men (Sahih Muslim 3371).

4. In Mohammad's attack on the Lihyan, the people were clearly not prepared for war and saved themselves only by fleeing into the hills (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 718).

5. Muhammad attacked the people of Taif as soon as he had the opportunity to avenge their rejection of him (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 280 & 872).

6. In Muhammad's first attack on the Christians, there was no compelling reason for him to send an army to Muta (in Syria, where they met with disaster at the hands of the Byzantines). Had this been a matter of self-defense, then the enemy would surely have followed the routed army back to Arabia, but this was not the case (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 791).

7. Near the end of his life, the prophet of Islam directed military campaigns for the mere purpose of spreading Islamic rule. He knew that some cities would resist and others would not. He left instructionsto his people for dealing with each case:

Quoting Sahih, "The Messenger of Allah said: If you come to a township (which has surrenderedwithout a formal war) and stay therein, you have a share (that will be in the form of an award) in (the properties obtained from) it. If a township disobeys Allah and His Messenger (and actually fights against the Muslims) one-fifth of the booty seized therefrom is for Allah and His Apostle and the rest is for you. (Sahih Muslim 4346 ). This was apparently wr for booty only.

8. To extend Islamic domination, Mohammad raided Tabuk, which was a second incursion into the Christian territoryof Syria, and forced the local populace to pay him tribute after ambushing and killing local civilians to assert his authority (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 903).

9. In the “convert or die” mandate given to an Arab tribe, the Banu al-Harith:

"... the apostle sent Khalid bin Walid… to the Banu al-Harith and ordered him to invite them to Islam three days before he attacked them. If they accepted then he was to accept it from them, and if they declined he was to fight them. So Khalid set out and came to them, and sent out riders in all directions inviting the people to Islam, saying, “If you accept Islam you will be safe.” So the men accepted Islam as they were invited. (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 959).

Obviously self-defense was not a factor in any of these cases.

10. In fact, the first part of the 9th Sura, the most bellicose chapter of the Qur’an, was revealed shortly after the Muslims had established military dominance in Mecca. Consider one of the more violent verses:

"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them (9:5)
The words, “when the forbidden months are past,” precludes the possibility that this was a matter of self-defense. Secondly, what was the offence of the people other than that they did not accept Islam? The Muslims had already been given the divine right to fight during the sacred months, and it is simply implausible that they would have suffered attacks over a four month period without defending themselves. That they were not under attack is consistent with the historical context, in which the Haj period was a traditional time of peace and tolerance throughout Arabia.

Although not under attack from the pagans, Muhammad ordered his men to chase and kill the unbelievers following the Haj. The pagans who agreed to become Muslim (ie. practice the pillars of Islam, zakatandsalat) would be allowed to live following their conversion. Verse 9:29 offersa separate rule forJews and Christians, allowing them to keep their religion as long as they pay protection money to Muslims and acknowledge the inferiority of their faith. Should they resist, then they should be killed.

11. One of the best documented examples of Muslim aggression during the lifetime of Muhammad is the attack on the peaceful community of Khaybar. This followed the treaty of Hudaibiya between the Muslims and Meccans, which called for a period of peace between the two groups. The treaty was controversial with Muslims, not only because it contradicted Allah’s prior mandate to “drive out” the Meccans with violent force (2:191), but also because Muhammad agreed not to be recognized as a prophet in the document (Muslim 4401).

Muhammad decided that it was prudent to attack the Jews at Khaybar only in order to regain the respect of his people and placate their grumbling with military victory and (especially) the stolen wealth that followed. The sleepy farming community, located about 100 miles outside of Medina, posed no sort of necessary threat. There are at least three historical references that contradict any notion of self-defense on the part of Muhammad. The first is a description of the initial attack by Ibn Ishaq/Hisham, who wrote:

"We met the workers of Khaybar coming out in the morning with their spades and baskets. When they saw the apostle and the army they cried, “Muhammad with his force,” and turned tail and fled… The apostle seized the property piece by piece…" (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 757)

The people of Khaybar were not attacking Muhammad. They were farming their land with shovels and buckets, not even knowing that they were supposed to be at war. This is further confirmed in the same text:

"When the apostle raided a people he waited until the morning. If he heard a call to prayer he held back; if he did not hear it he attacked. We came to Khaybar by night, and the apostle passed the night there; and when morning came he did not hear the call to prayer, so he rode and we rode with him." (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 757)

Muhammad attacked only after waiting to see if the people of Khaybar issued a morning call to prayer. This would have no possible relevance had they already been at war with him. Perhaps the best proof that Muhammad was not acting in self-defense is the fact that his own people did not understand why they were marching to war. His son-in-law, who was in charge of the military expedition, had to ask for justification:

"Allah's Messenger called Ali [and said]: “Proceed on and do not look about until Allah grants you victory,” and Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: “Allah's Messenger, on what issue should I fight with the people?” Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: ”Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger …”"(Sahih Muslim 5917)

The question Ali posed would have been unnecessary had the Muslims been under attack by the Khaybar or if the answer to the question were obvious. As it is, Muhammad’s reply underscores the ostensible purpose of the campaign, which was to force the Jews into acknowledging the superiority of Islam.

Muhammad’s men easily captured Khaybar and divided up the loot. The prophet of Islam tortured the community’s treasurer to extract information, then had him killed (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 764). Muhammad then took the man’s widow, Saffiya, as his wife after trading two other captured women to one of his lieutenants (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 758). The surviving Jews were allowed to stay on their land provided that they gave their Muslim masters an ample share of their crops.

Therefore, the rule of aggression in Islam, from the example set by Muhammad, is that it is proportional to the power held by Muslims, and not the persecution that they are under. The rare verses of peace in the quran were "revealed" in Mecca, when true oppression existed. The verses of violence that are revealed later correspond to Muslim military might even as any persecution of Muslims had largely dried up.

It is very unfortunate however, tht people try to connect Mohammedean jihads to defense purposes only, when the exegetic and historical contexts clearly state otherwise.

To void derailing the thread, we could start this in another discussion post entirely. But take this caution; when it comes to apocalypses, that thread has to specify which one we should extol; Judeo-Christian or Muslim apocalyptic writings, because we can never get anywhere with arguing from different perspectices. In the alternative, we could just agree to share different views on the topic without trying to convince each other.

But just to throw in a clue, the book of John tells us specifically who an antichrist is.

[I Jn. 2: 22 ] "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."

You have to establish here, what 'Christ' means, whether a prophet of quran or One that is in union with the Father and the Spirit.

According to Oxford Advaced Learners dictionary, Christ is defined as:

(In Judaism) The anointed one or messiah predicted in Jewish prophecy.
(In Christianity) A title given to Jesus of Nazareth, seen as the fulfiller of the messianic prophecy; often treated as a personal name.

The Prophet’s first mission (as in the case of Abraham and Moses)
was to call these people away from their petty man-made gods to the One and Only God of the Universe. The
Prophet’s own tribe was pagan—and they were the first ones he addressed. With Allah Almighty’s help, the
Prophet preached tawheed (pure monotheism) to these people and eventually brought them to Islam—
submission to the One True God.

4. In Mohammad's attack on the Lihyan, the people were clearly not prepared for war and saved themselves only by fleeing into the hills (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 718).

5. Muhammad attacked the people of Taif as soon as he had the opportunity to avenge their rejection of him (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 280 & 872).

6. In Muhammad's first attack on the Christians, there was no compelling reason for him to send an army to Muta (in Syria, where they met with disaster at the hands of the Byzantines). Had this been a matter of self-defense, then the enemy would surely have followed the routed army back to Arabia, but this was not the case (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 791).

7. Near the end of his life, the prophet of Islam directed military campaigns for the mere purpose of spreading Islamic rule. He knew that some cities would resist and others would not. He left instructionsto his people for dealing with each case:

Quoting Sahih, "The Messenger of Allah said: If you come to a township (which has surrenderedwithout a formal war) and stay therein, you have a share (that will be in the form of an award) in (the properties obtained from) it. If a township disobeys Allah and His Messenger (and actually fights against the Muslims) one-fifth of the booty seized therefrom is for Allah and His Apostle and the rest is for you. (Sahih Muslim 4346 ). This was apparently wr for booty only.

8. To extend Islamic domination, Mohammad raided Tabuk, which was a second incursion into the Christian territoryof Syria, and forced the local populace to pay him tribute after ambushing and killing local civilians to assert his authority (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 903).

9. In the “convert or die” mandate given to an Arab tribe, the Banu al-Harith:

"... the apostle sent Khalid bin Walid… to the Banu al-Harith and ordered him to invite them to Islam three days before he attacked them. If they accepted then he was to accept it from them, and if they declined he was to fight them. So Khalid set out and came to them, and sent out riders in all directions inviting the people to Islam, saying, “If you accept Islam you will be safe.” So the men accepted Islam as they were invited. (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 959).

Obviously self-defense was not a factor in any of these cases.

10. In fact, the first part of the 9th Sura, the most bellicose chapter of the Qur’an, was revealed shortly after the Muslims had established military dominance in Mecca. Consider one of the more violent verses:

"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them (9:5)
The words, “when the forbidden months are past,” precludes the possibility that this was a matter of self-defense. Secondly, what was the offence of the people other than that they did not accept Islam? The Muslims had already been given the divine right to fight during the sacred months, and it is simply implausible that they would have suffered attacks over a four month period without defending themselves. That they were not under attack is consistent with the historical context, in which the Haj period was a traditional time of peace and tolerance throughout Arabia.

Although not under attack from the pagans, Muhammad ordered his men to chase and kill the unbelievers following the Haj. The pagans who agreed to become Muslim (ie. practice the pillars of Islam, zakatandsalat) would be allowed to live following their conversion. Verse 9:29 offersa separate rule forJews and Christians, allowing them to keep their religion as long as they pay protection money to Muslims and acknowledge the inferiority of their faith. Should they resist, then they should be killed.

11. One of the best documented examples of Muslim aggression during the lifetime of Muhammad is the attack on the peaceful community of Khaybar. This followed the treaty of Hudaibiya between the Muslims and Meccans, which called for a period of peace between the two groups. The treaty was controversial with Muslims, not only because it contradicted Allah’s prior mandate to “drive out” the Meccans with violent force (2:191), but also because Muhammad agreed not to be recognized as a prophet in the document (Muslim 4401).

Muhammad decided that it was prudent to attack the Jews at Khaybar only in order to regain the respect of his people and placate their grumbling with military victory and (especially) the stolen wealth that followed. The sleepy farming community, located about 100 miles outside of Medina, posed no sort of necessary threat. There are at least three historical references that contradict any notion of self-defense on the part of Muhammad. The first is a description of the initial attack by Ibn Ishaq/Hisham, who wrote:

"We met the workers of Khaybar coming out in the morning with their spades and baskets. When they saw the apostle and the army they cried, “Muhammad with his force,” and turned tail and fled… The apostle seized the property piece by piece…" (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 757)

The people of Khaybar were not attacking Muhammad. They were farming their land with shovels and buckets, not even knowing that they were supposed to be at war. This is further confirmed in the same text:

"When the apostle raided a people he waited until the morning. If he heard a call to prayer he held back; if he did not hear it he attacked. We came to Khaybar by night, and the apostle passed the night there; and when morning came he did not hear the call to prayer, so he rode and we rode with him." (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 757)

Muhammad attacked only after waiting to see if the people of Khaybar issued a morning call to prayer. This would have no possible relevance had they already been at war with him. Perhaps the best proof that Muhammad was not acting in self-defense is the fact that his own people did not understand why they were marching to war. His son-in-law, who was in charge of the military expedition, had to ask for justification:

"Allah's Messenger called Ali [and said]: “Proceed on and do not look about until Allah grants you victory,” and Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: “Allah's Messenger, on what issue should I fight with the people?” Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: ”Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger …”"(Sahih Muslim 5917)

The question Ali posed would have been unnecessary had the Muslims been under attack by the Khaybar or if the answer to the question were obvious. As it is, Muhammad’s reply underscores the ostensible purpose of the campaign, which was to force the Jews into acknowledging the superiority of Islam.

Muhammad’s men easily captured Khaybar and divided up the loot. The prophet of Islam tortured the community’s treasurer to extract information, then had him killed (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 764). Muhammad then took the man’s widow, Saffiya, as his wife after trading two other captured women to one of his lieutenants (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 758). The surviving Jews were allowed to stay on their land provided that they gave their Muslim masters an ample share of their crops.

Therefore, the rule of aggression in Islam, from the example set by Muhammad, is that it is proportional to the power held by Muslims, and not the persecution that they are under. The rare verses of peace in the quran were "revealed" in Mecca, when true oppression existed. The verses of violence that are revealed later correspond to Muslim military might even as any persecution of Muslims had largely dried up.

It is very unfortunate however, tht people try to connect Mohammedean jihads to defense purposes only, when the exegetic and historical contexts clearly state otherwise.


Thanx for this exposition, we now know where ISIS and boko haram are getting their inspiration from. One thing is certain no one sent from God would wreck so much havoc on humanity.

Re: I Am A Muslim ,i Despise Bokoharam by Abdulsalam20(m): 10:10am On Sep 30, 2014
i will give you the detailed history of battle of badr i dont care if you read it i just have to educate you on it

The Great Expedition of Badr took place in Ramadan, 2
A.H. Allah called this battle 'The Day of Distinguishing.'
Allah says, 'if you believe in Allah and what We sent
down on Our servant on the Day of Distinguishing, the
day the two hosts met.' (8: 41)

The Messenger of Allah had heard that Abu Sufyan ibn
Harb, who was extremely hostile to Islam, was coming
from Syria with a large trading caravan belonging to the
Quraysh. They were carrying a vast quantity of wealth
and merchandise. War had been declared between the
Muslims and the idol-worshippers and the Quraysh had
been spending their wealth on fighting Islam. Their
cavalry would occasionally reach the borders of Madinah
and the grazing areas used by the Muslims' animals.
When the Messenger of Allah heard about this caravan, he
sent Muslims to attack it. He did not attach much
importance to the confrontation and did not issue a
compulsory order to wage war.
When Abu Sufyan heard that the Messenger of Allah was
coming towards him he sent to Makkah for help from the
Quraysh to protect him from the Muslims. When this plea
reached the people of Makkah, they decided that it must
be serious. They prepared themselves quickly and
departed. All of their nobles, apart from Abu Lahab, went
to help and he appointed a man to take his place.

ASSURANCE FROM THE ANSAR:
When the Messenger of Allah heard that the Quraysh had
set out from Makkah to stop the Muslims, he consulted
his Companions. He was concerned about the Ansar
because their original homage included the condition that
they only defend him in their home territory. Since he
resolved to leave Madinah, he wanted to know where they
stood The Muhajirun assured him of their support, but he
consulted them a second time, and then a third time. The
Ansar fully understood the reason why he was concerned
about them. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh replied,

'It seems that you are alluding to us. Perhaps you fear
that the Ansar do not think that they have to help you
outside their own territory. I speak for the Ansar and
answer for them. Go where you wish, join whom you wish
and cut off whom you wish. Take what you wish from our
property and give us what you wish. What you take from
us is dearer than what you leave. Whatever you
command, we will follow it. By Allah, if you were to travel
until you reached Bark Ghamdan, we would go with you.
By Allah, if you were to cross this sea, we would plunge
into it with you.'


Al-Miqdad said, 'We do not say to you what the people of
Musa said to Musa: "Go forth you and your Lord and do
battle. We will be waiting here. "(5: 24) We will do battle
on your right and on your left and in front of you and
behind you.'

When the Messenger of Allah heard this, his face shone
with happiness 'Be Steadiest!' he said to his Companions.
JIHAD AND MARTYRDOM:
When the Muslims went to Badr, a boy called Umayr ibn
Abi Waqqas came out. He was sixteen and afraid that the
Prophet would not accept him because he was too young
to fight. He tried to avoid being seen but his elder brother,
Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, asked him what he was up to.
'I was afraid that the Messenger of Allah would send me
back when I wanted to go out. It might be that Allah will
grant me martyrdom,' he answered.
That was indeed the case. The Messenger of Allah did
want to send him back because he was so young. Umayr
wept. His tears weakened the heart of the Messenger of
Allah who allowed him to go after all. And Umayr was
killed as a martyr during the expedition.
DISPARITY IN NUMBERS:
The Messenger of Allah set off for Badr swiftly with three
hundred and thirteen men but only two horses and
seventy camels. Two or three men rode on a camel in
turns without any distinction being made between a
soldier and a general. The Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr,
Umar and the great Companions were among them.
The Prophet gave the banner to Mus'ab ibn Umayr, the
flag of the Muhajirun to Ali ibn Abi Talib and the flag of
the Ansar to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh.
When Abu Sufyan heard that the Muslims had set out to
intercept him, he turned his caravan towards the coast.
When he saw that they were safe, he sent word to the
Quraysh telling them to return as there was now nothing
for them to do. The Quraysh wanted to turn back, but Abu
Jahl insisted on attacking. The Quraysh army numbered
more than a thousand, including all the warriors, leaders
and horsemen. Of the fighters the Messenger of Allah
said, 'Makkah has sent you its treasures, dear and
beloved ones.'
The Messenger or Allah and his Companions reached the
water of Badr first. They arrived at midnight and built
cisterns which they filled with water. The Messenger of
Allah allowed unbelievers to drink of this water, too.
Allah sent down heavy rain that night. It prevented the
idol-worshippers from advancing. It was a mercy for the
Muslims, however, as it made the ground smooth and the
sand firm. This blessing strengthened their hearts. Allah
describes the scene:
'He sent down water on you from heaven, to purify you
thereby and to put away from you the defilement of Satan,
and to strengthen your hearts and to confirm your
feet.' (8: 11)
PREPARATION FOR BATTLE:
A shelter was built for the Messenger of Allah on a small
hill overlooking the battlefield. He went down to the
battlefield and began to point with his hand, saying, 'So-
and-so will die here. So-and-so will die here. So-and-so
will die here if Allah wills.' None of those people went any
further than where he had pointed.
When the idol-worshippers appeared and the two groups
confronted one another, the Messenger of Allah said, 'O
Allah, this is the Quraysh who have come with their vanity
and their pride. They have come to fight You and deny
Your Messenger.'
It was the night of Friday, 17 Ramadan. In the morning,
the Quraysh advanced in their squadrons and the two
groups took up positions ready for battle.
SUPPLICATION AND ENTREATY:
The Messenger of Allah organised the ranks and returned
to his shelter. He and Abu Bakr went inside. The
Messenger of Allah prayed. He asked for the help of Allah
Whose judgement cannot be turned aside and Whose
decree cannot be averted. There is no help but from Allah.
He said, 'O Allah, if You let this group of men die, no one
after them will worship You on the earth.'
He called out to his Lord, 'O Allah, give me the help which
You promised me.'
He raised his hands to the sky until the cloak fell from his
shoulders. Abu Bakr consoled and comforted him.
A CONFRONTATION:
Then the Messenger of Allah went out to encourage the
Muslims to fight. Utbah ibn Rabi'ah and his brother
Shaybah and his son al-Walid stepped forward from the
Quraysh. When they came forward between the opposing
forces, they asked for other people to come forward as
was the custom. When three youths of the Ansar went out
to them they asked, 'Who are you?'
'We are from the Ansar.'
'We demand our equals. Send some of our own tribe out
to us.'
The Prophet said, 'Go forward, Ubaydah ibn al-Harith [ibn
al-Muttalib ibn Abd Manaf], Hamzah and Ali.'
'Yes, these are our equals in nobility,' they said.
Ubaydah, the oldest man chosen, went out against Utbah,
Hamzah against Shaybah and 'Ail against al-Walid ibn
Utbah. Hamzah and Ali quickly killed their opponents.
Ubaydah and Utbah exchanged blows and each of them
floored the other. Hamzah and Ali turned their swords
against Utbah and finished him off and carried back
Ubaydah, who was wounded. He died a martyr.
WAR BREAKS OUT:
The people crowded together and drew near to one
another. The idol-worshippers approached. The
Messenger of Allah cried out, 'Arise for a Paradise as wide
as the heavens and the earth!'
Umayr ibn al-Humam al-Ansari got up, asking,
'Messenger of Allah ! A Paradise as wide as the heavens
and the earth?'
'Yes,' he said.
'Wonderful, wonderful, Messenger of Allah!'
'What moved you to say "Wonderful, wonderful"?'
'Nothing, by Allah, Messenger of Allah,' he said, except the
hope that I will be among its people.
'You are one of its people,' he was told.
Umayr took some dates from his quiver and began to eat.
'If I live to eat these dates it will be a long life,' he
suddenly said.
So he threw away the dates and ran to the battlefield. He
fought the enemy until he was killed. He was the first
martyr that day.
The people were steadfast, constantly remembering Allah.
The Messenger of Allah fought fiercely. He fought closely
with the enemy and none was braver that day. The angels
brought down mercy and victory and drove back the idol-
worshippers.
BROTHERS COMPETING IN JIHAD:
The young men competed with each other as they raced
for martyrdom and happiness. It was a race between
friends, comrades and brothers.
Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf said, 'I was in the ranks on the
day of Badr. I turned and there were two young boys one
on my right and the other on my left. I was not too happy
about their position. One of them said to me, in a quiet
voice that His companion could not hear, "Uncle, show
me Abu Jahl." I said, "Nephew, what will you do to him?"
He replied, "I have made a covenant with Allah that if I
see him, I will kill him or die before him." The other boy
then said the same thing to me, also keeping it from his
companion.' He added,' I was so happy to be' between
two men like them. I pointed Abu Jahl out to them and
they attacked him like two falcons until they struck him
down.'
When Abu Jahl was killed, the Messenger of Allah said,
'This Abu Jahl was the Pharaoh of this community.'
Re: I Am A Muslim ,i Despise Bokoharam by Abdulsalam20(m): 10:11am On Sep 30, 2014
A CLEAR VICTORY:
When the victory of the Muslims and the defeat of the idol-
worshippers became clear, the Messenger of Allah said,
'Allah is greater! Praise belongs to Allah Who was true to
His promise, helped His slave and defeated the parties
alone.'
Allah certainly spoke the truth when He said: 'Allah surely
helped you at Badr when you were utterly abject. So fear
Allah and perhaps you will be thankful.' (3: 123)
The Messenger of Allah ordered the Quraysh dead to be
thrown into a well. Then he stood over it and said, 'O
people of the well! Have you found what Allah promised
you to be true? I have certainly found that what my Lord
promised me is true.'
Seventy leaders of the unbelievers were killed and another
seventy captured on the Day of Badr. Six Muslims of the
Quraysh and eight of the Ansar were martyred.
The Messenger of Allah divided the captives among his
Companions and told them to treat them well.
He then returned to Madinah confirmed in victory. All his
enemies both in the city and in surrounding areas feared
him. Many more people of Madinah were encouraged to
become Muslims.
In Makkah the idol-worshippers mourned for their slain.
Terror entered the hearts of all the Muslims' enemies.
CAPTIVES AS TEACHERS:
The Messenger of Allah pardoned the captives and
accepted ransom from them. He was gracious to those
who had nothing and set them free. The Quraysh sent
money to ransom the captives and he set them free too.
Among the captives were those who had nothing with
which to ransom themselves. The Messenger of Allah
allowed them to earn their freedom by teaching the
children of the Ansar to write. Each prisoner taught ten
Muslims. Zayd ibn Thabit was one of those who learned in
this way from the captives of Badr.
The Banu Qaynuqa' were the first Jews to break the
agreement they had made with the Messenger of Allah by
insulting him and harming the Muslims. The Messenger of
Allah then laid siege to them for fifteen days until they
surrendered unconditionally. Their ally, Abdullah ibn
Ubayy, the head of the hypocrites, interceded for them
and the Messenger of Allah raised the siege at his request.
Seven hundred Jewish artisans and merchants were
bearing arms on that occasion.

Re: I Am A Muslim ,i Despise Bokoharam by yazach: 10:16am On Sep 30, 2014
HolyHolla:

I was only sharing what someone wrote. I owe no responsibility if the verses are accurately quoted. But, yes, I read the message and I'm in agreement with all the points raised. Some of them may not be convincing enough for the critical mind of an expert in quran like you, but of course, the average person understands and accepts the submissions. They are all in the quran and I am ready to confirm that I have definitely read each and everyone in the quran before.

You may want to take it up point by point and show your disagreements, but surely, I will be ready to defend them. I guess that will take us deeper into the study of the quran, but first, in order not to waste our time, we must be ready to accept what the book says on these issues at face level except where exegesis proves otherwise. Trying to interpret to justify our own ideas will only take us into argumentations, which goes off course from apologetics.

I will start by point no 6(six), this is because I will want you to be sincere as any insincerity will not yield anything.
I you look at the bold in your post you will agree with me that the statement was not true because if you truly read the verses, you won't post this sixth point at all.
Now let us open the qura'an and confirm what we have, then merge it with the post if it is true.

Point 6 posted by you
6. Jesus Christ alone was distinguished from all others in the sense that He was the Creator: "I will create for you out of clay as the likeness of a bird; then I will breathe into it and it will be a bird."
Qura'an Verse used: (3)House of Imran 42). i.e Qura'an 3:42

What the real verse says:
Qura'an 3:42. And (remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of her lifetime)."

The question now is that can you still tell me you that you read this verse and confirm its truthfulness?

abdulsalam20, you need to realize that the crop of people engaged in discussions here are not riff-raffs and neither are they so degenerate that you will be in position to carelessly use foul words on them. Some are more like your superiors in every way and standard and you are only chanced to discuss with them because they chose to make NL a forum for sharing intelligent discourse. In real life, you may never have the chance to get near them for discussions, mind you.

No wonder people associate Islam with violence, uncouth words and barbarism.

While I believe that Abdulsalam20 is no longer worthy of any response from sensible intellectuals because of his foul language, which portrays Muslims as people without good manners and decency, I believe you, yazach still remains worthy of sensible response and further intelligent discourse.

You may want to check the various versions of translations of quran to find out that not all agree with chapter and verse divisions. That your quran's interpretation states something else in the verse quoted by another does not invalidate the other. We all realize that unlike the Bible which is generally similar in chapters and verses, divisions in qurans differ from interpreter to interpreter. For this reason, please cut us some slacks if we miquote verses and chapters, but still state what is somewhere else in the quran.

What I want you to do therefore, is either give us the correct chapter and verse where these quotes are in your own interpretation or in the alternative, tell us without doubt that what is quoted is not in the quran.

That established, I want you to ponder on these. Jesus was definitely acclaimed as creator in the quran. First, He is called the word of God. We all know that God created by His Word and the book of John begins by describing Jesus as this Word, by whom all things were created. Second, the quran established that Jesus made a bird from clay and made it to come alive. You will agree with me that only One who is God in nature can create like this, wouldn't you? No other person in Islamic history has ever been reported to be capable of this creative ability. Third, the quran, I believe, described the way by which God created human beings as making them as mould of clay and giving them life, which is the capability of the Creator only.

If we are saying, therefore, that Jesus is acclaimed as Creator by the quran, are we wrong in making such conclusions? If we are wrong, what is your explanations on my submissions of Jesus' ability to create?

of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it,

ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if
ye did believe;

my response
003.049
YUSUFALI: "And (appoint him) a messenger to the
Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to
you, with a Sign from your Lord,


So even before Jesus performs the miracle he
tells the people that it is from God!
So Jesus is
basically telling the people I am comming with
a miracle from the Lord, after saying this Jesus
then performs the miracle hence making it
clear that isnt really him doing this great work
but it is God!


003.049
YUSUFALI: "And (appoint him) a messenger to the
Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to
you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out
of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it,
and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave
So Jesus is saying this miracle happens by
Allah's permission! Allah is granting Jesus this
great miracle, it is not really Jesus' breath that
is giving life, it is the fact that Allah is allowing
Jesus' his breath to grant life! Jesus could
breath into anything he wants, this wouldnt
mean the things he breathes into becomes
alive, it is only Allah's will and power that
allows Jesus' breath to grant life.

Another verse Christians like to bring up is:

003.045
PICKTHAL: (And remember) when the angels said: O
Mary! Lo! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word from
him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary,
illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those
brought near (unto Allah).


Christians like to bring this up because the
verse says that Jesus is the Messiah. To begin
with, Jesus being called the Messiah is a title of
honor, secondly no where in the Quran is the
term Messiah reffered to as God, there is no
concept of the Messiah being God in Islam
Thirdly, even in Christianity being the Messiah
doesnt make you God! This definition is a
Christian myth, being a Messiah does not make
you God, Messiah means the annoited one, the
saviour, the one who come and save the Jew.
The Messiah does not mean God.
.

THE MEANING OF CHRIST: the Messiah whose coming is prophesied in the Old
Testament.

Christ
noun
1. The Messiah whose coming is prophesied in the Old
Testament.
2. Jesus of Nazareth, or Jesus Christ, believed by Christians
to be the Messiah.
3. A figure or picture of Jesus.
Non of the definitions of Christ is God. It is simply the
Messiah, therefore we must now see what the Messiah
means, and if the Jews believed the Messiah would be God.
THE MEANING OF MESSIAH

Finally Christians also always like to bring this
verse up:
S. 4:171 we are told:
"O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your
religion: nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus
the Son of Mary was a messenger of Allah, and His Word
(Kalimatuhu), which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit
proceeding from Him (Ruhun-Minhu): so believe in Allah
and His messengers. Say not 'three': desist."

infact this is the verse you lay emphasis on

my response
Christians claim that since Jesus is a word and
spirit of Allah then this means he is God, well
Islamic scholars already adressed this,
(Al-Masih `Isa, son of Maryam, was (no more than) a
Messenger of Allah and His Word, which He bestowed on
Maryam and a spirit from [created by] Himwink `Isa is only
one of Allah's servants and one of His creatures. Allah said
to him, `Be', and he was, and He sent him as a Messenger.
`Isa was a word from Allah that He bestowed on Maryam,
meaning He created him with the word `Be' that He sent
with Jibril to Maryam. Jibril blew the life of `Isa into
Maryam by Allah's leave, and `Isa came to existence as a
result. This incident was in place of the normal conception
between man and woman that results in children. This is
why `Isa was a word and a Ruh (spirit) created by Allah,
as he had no father to conceive him. Rather, he came to
existence through the word that Allah uttered, `Be,' and
he was, through the life that Allah sent with Jibril. Allah
said,


(Al-Masih [`Isa], son of Maryam, was no more than a
Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away
before him. His mother [Maryam] was a Siddiqah. They
both ate food.) And Allah said,

(Verily, the likeness of `Isa before Allah is the likeness of
Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him:
"Be! Ü and he was.) (And she who guarded her chastity, We breathed into her
(garment) and We made her and her son [`Isa] a sign for
all that exits.) (21:91)

(And Maryam, the daughter of `Imran who guarded her
chastity,) and Allah said concerning the Messiah
(He [`Isa] was not more than a servant. We granted Our
favor to him.)




The Meaning of "His Word and a spirit from Him
Abdur-Razzaq narrated that Ma`mar said that Qatadah
said that the Ayah, (And His Word, which He bestowed on Maryam and a
spirit from [created by] Himwink means, He said,: (and His Word, which He bestowed on Maryam and a
spirit from [created by] Himwink "`Isa was not the word.
Rather, `Isa came to existence because of the word.'' Al-
Bukhari recorded that `Ubadah bin As-Samit said that the
Prophet said,
(If anyone testifies that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah Alone Who has no partners, and that
Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and that `Isa is
Allah's servant and Messenger and His Word which He
bestowed on Maryam and a spirit created by Him, and
that Paradise is true and Hell is true, then Allah will admit
him into Paradise with the deeds which he performed.) In
another narration, the Prophet said,
(...through any of the eight doors of Paradise he wishes.)
Muslim also recorded it. Therefore, `Ruh from Allah', in
the Ayah and the Hadith is similar to Allah's statement,

[b] ( And has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and
all that is in the earth; it is all from Him.) meaning,
from His creation. `from Him' does not mean that it is
a part of Him, as the Christians claim
Saying that something
is from Allah, such as the spirit of Allah, the she-camel
of Allah or the House of Allah, is meant to honor such
items. Allah said,
(Say not: "Three!"wink do not elevate `Isa and his mother to
be gods with Allah. Allah is far holier than what they
attribute to Him. In Surat Al-Ma'idah (chapter 5), Allah
said,
INFACT THIS ONE IS INTERESTING
(Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third
of the three.'' But there is none who has the right to be
worshipped but One God.) Allah said by the end of the
same Surah,
(And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of
Resurrection): "O `Isa, son of Maryam! Did you say unto
men: `Worship me''') and in its beginning,

So Jesus IS NOT GOD according to Islam, this is
a Christian myth.
Praise Allah, Jesus was a prophet of Allah!
AMEEN.....I THINK THIS IS ENOUGH TO EXPLAIN TOYOU THAT JESUS IS A PROPHET IT IS EVIDENT IN THE BIBLE ALSO BUT I WILL POST POST THAT LATER [/b]
Re: I Am A Muslim ,i Despise Bokoharam by yazach: 2:38pm On Sep 30, 2014
HolyHolla:
abdulsalam20, you need to realize that the crop of people engaged in discussions here are not riff-raffs and neither are they so degenerate that you will be in position to carelessly use foul words on them. Some are more like your superiors in every way and standard and you are only chanced to discuss with them because they chose to make NL a forum for sharing intelligent discourse. In real life, you may never have the chance to get near them for discussions, mind you.

No wonder people associate Islam with violence, uncouth words and barbarism.

While I believe that Abdulsalam20 is no longer worthy of any response from sensible intellectuals because of his foul language, which portrays Muslims as people without good manners and decency, I believe you, yazach still remains worthy of sensible response and further intelligent discourse.


You may want to check the various versions of translations of quran to find out that not all agree with chapter and verse divisions. That your quran's interpretation states something else in the verse quoted by another does not invalidate the other. We all realize that unlike the Bible which is generally similar in chapters and verses, divisions in qurans differ from interpreter to interpreter. For this reason, please cut us some slacks if we miquote verses and chapters, but still state what is somewhere else in the quran.

What I want you to do therefore, is either give us the correct chapter and verse where these quotes are in your own interpretation or in the alternative, tell us without doubt that what is quoted is not in the quran.

That established, I want you to ponder on these. Jesus was definitely acclaimed as creator in the quran. First, He is called the word of God. We all know that God created by His Word and the book of John begins by describing Jesus as this Word, by whom all things were created. Second, the quran established that Jesus made a bird from clay and made it to come alive. You will agree with me that only One who is God in nature can create like this, wouldn't you? No other person in Islamic history has ever been reported to be capable of this creative ability. Third, the quran, I believe, described the way by which God created human beings as making them as mould of clay and giving them life, which is the capability of the Creator only.

If we are saying, therefore, that Jesus is acclaimed as Creator by the quran, are we wrong in making such conclusions? If we are wrong, what is your explanations on my submissions of Jesus' ability to create?


@bold, please try to stop using those statement even if someone abuses you, the moment you start abusing the person makes you be like the person

Now to your response, am sure you understand what I am saying, but to make it more clear:
Their is different between interpretation and translation and I have not even say anything on the interpretation of the verse but the translation

In point no 6 of your post, it read thus:

6. Jesus Christ alone was distinguished from all others in the sense that He was the Creator: "I will create for you out of clay as the likeness of a bird; then I will breathe into it and it will be a bird." (3)House of Imran 42).

But in every translation of the quran this is what we found
Qura'an 3 vs 42. And (remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of her lifetime)."

The similitude of the point 6 is like saying: B is the 1st letter of English alphabet

So the question I asked from the beginning still remain unanswered:
will you still tell me you go through the mentioned verses of the qura'an to confirm its authenticity? If yes, please copy and past the verse in the point six in your response
Thanks

yazach:

I will start by point no 6(six), this is because I will want you to be sincere as any insincerity will not yield anything.
I you look at the bold in your post you will agree with me that the statement was not true because if you truly read the verses, you won't post this sixth point at all.
Now let us open the qura'an and confirm what we have, then merge it with the post if it is true.

Point 6 posted by you
6. Jesus Christ alone was distinguished from all others in the sense that He was the Creator: "I will create for you out of clay as the likeness of a bird; then I will breathe into it and it will be a bird."
Qura'an Verse used: (3)House of Imran 42). i.e Qura'an 3:42

What the real verse says:
Qura'an 3:42. And (remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of her lifetime)."

The question now is that can you still tell me you that you read this verse and confirm its truthfulness?



Here, you need to be more sincere with me. You very well know that verse may have been misquoted, but it is right in the Quran, don"t you?

Re: I Am A Muslim ,i Despise Bokoharam by HolyHolla(m): 6:53pm On Oct 01, 2014
yazach and abdulsalam20 n your last submissions, I will comprehensively reply to you both at the same time.

The Quran says these of Jesus: Born of a virgin 19:19-20, 21:91; strengthened with the Holy Spirit 2:87; given revelation by the Holy Spirit and not just angelic beings 19:30; taken bodily into Heaven 3:55; received the true Gospel from God 57:27; and asked all to obey him 43:63. If as a true Muslim should, you believe the Bible as the Quran says, you must also believe the surah that says, “… We believe in that which is revealed to us and which was revealed to you. Our God and your God is one. To Him we surrender ourselves.”
The Arab prophet (El-Bukhari) testified for the perfection of Christ and His infallibility, saying: "Satan pokes with his finger the side of every human at birth, except Jesus, son of Mary; when he went to poke Him, he poked the curtain." No other person has ever claimed this level of perfection which is akin to divinity.
In the 2:253 of Quran, Mohammed was saying something about the inspiration of Jesus by the Holy Spirit, wasn’t he? Inspiration means infallibility of His claims as the Holy Spirit of God cannot inspire lies. If therefore, Jesus claimed in the Holy books to be God, He could not be wrong. Further, to buttress the divine attribute of Jesus as God, the prophet in 3:135 says, “… and who can forgive sins except Allah?” Jesus said “The Son of Man has power to forgive sins”.
Both OT and NT are accepted by Mohammed as true divine inspirations. The testimony of this appears in most parts of chapter 7 of the Quran as well as 5:46, 6:154, 7:73,17:43 and several other verses. If the NT writers believed that Jesus is Savior we should not be surprised to find them ascribing divine functions to Him.
Only Jesus will be the Judge who will come to this world to judge the living and the dead; the Arab prophet, El-Bukhari confirmed this fact, saying: "The Last Hour will not come until the Son of Mary come down as the just Judge”. According to the Bible and Koran, God is the Judge of all the earth. The Old Testament teaches that God has appointed a day when he will come and gather all the peoples before him in order to judge them in righteousness. The NT says the same, but refers to Jesus Christ as that Judge, saying; "And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead." Acts 10:42
This judgment can only be the work of Savior, or Messiah, as Christ is similarly named in the Quran, which also testifies to a day when Christ will return to the earth to judge the whole world. Even though you claim that the word ‘Messiah’ only means anointed one, you neglected to add that it also means Savior. Jesus Christ alone exclusively enjoyed the prophetical title of "the Messiah": According to the Quran, "The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was God's Messenger, and His Word committed to Mary…". The Old Testament made known the real identity of the Messiah, saying: "Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth… and this is the name whereby He shall be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." (Jeremiah 23:5-6)
If God assigned Jesus the role of Judge specifically, it must be because is not like any other, and only God is not like any other. The Psalmist exhorted the people to worship Yahweh since he was coming to judge the nations. This presupposes that one of the many reasons why God is worthy of worship is because he is the Judge of all creation. To be able to render perfect judgment, Jesus must be omniscient and omnipotent. In a similar manner, the Lord Jesus claims that the reason why God entrusted all judgment to him is so that everyone may worship the Son as they worship the Father:
"The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 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… And he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man." John 5:22-23
Jesus emphatically states that everyone must give him the same honor that they give to God! Jesus is basically demanding to be worshiped as God. Anyone who fails to worship Christ will be judged and condemned by him.
Daniel 7:13-14 foresaw a Son of Man whom God appointed to rule over the peoples of the earth forever and whom all the nations had to worship and serve. Jesus was basically saying that he is that Son of Man whom Daniel saw, the very One who rules forever over the entire creation of God and who shall be worshiped by everyone. The NT writers call the judgment day the Day of the Lord Jesus, the Day of Christ.
It is true that the Quran writes of Jesus as being created. But somehow, this seems to be an error because the same Quran says that all humans are created by God (3:191) and from Adam (6:98; 7:12, 189), who was the first of all humans and created from dust. Writing about the creation of angels, the Quran claims that they were made with fire and wind (15:27). But writing of the purported creation of Jesus, it says that He was created with dust like Adam and commanded to life by the word of God “be” (3:59). It is impossible to reconcile how Adam could be the progenitor of all humans while Jesus too is created as another human, judging from the fact that He was not said to have been created the same way as the Jinns (angels), but as another human from dust apart from Adam.
The other conflict comes up when Jesus was mentioned to have created a bird by the power of God in 5:110. Who can create except God? Jesus Christ alone was distinguished from all others in the sense that He was the Creator. The Quran quotes God as saying of Jesus, "I will create for you out of clay as the likeness of a bird; then I will breathe into it and it will be a bird." (5:110)
Another aspect that will definitely convince anyone is the claim by the Quran 19:19 that Jesus is pure and holy (as Al Quddus). All prophets mentioned in Quran were said to have been inspired (16:43; 17:93), but Jesus did not enjoy simple inspiration, but had the Holy Spirit of God in Him having said to have emanated from the Spirit of God. For this reason, He did not need a sexual, genetic birth. Quoting the Quran; “The Messiah, Jesus Son of Mary, God's Messenger, and His Word that He committed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him”. He is exalted above all like God is exalted (7:73; 17:43). He is also honored above all with definite signs to show (3:45) unlike Mohammed, who was doubted as stated in 13:7 because he did not have signs following him.
In all of Jewish, Christian and Islamic history, Jesus was matchless in performing miracles and the wonders which no other could. The Quran testifies of this in 3:49. This is a sign that He is not ordinary angelic or human being and refusing to believe that is to ascribe magical powers to Christ and that would negate the spirit both biblical and quranic writings.
While Mohammed claimed that he did not know all things in 11:31, and never guaranteed that himself or his followers would definitely make heaven, only Jesus Christ could give His followers high honors and assurances concerning the day of Resurrection. Even the Quran testifies of this; "I will cause thee to die, and I will raise thee to Me, and I will purify thee of those who believe not. I will set thy followers above the unbelievers till the resurrection Day," (3:55).
If you meditate on any of the Koran verses that portray Jesus Christ, you find inherent attributes that are exclusively distinctive of God not shared with any human at all. Jesus Christ did not enjoy only one of these attributes but He included all of them in His blessed person, so that He may leave no doubt concerning His deity and divinity.
The New Testament, which is accepted by Mohammed, recorded that the All-mighty God became a perfect man (something that was easy for Him to do) and came from heaven to our earth to save men. The Bible says of the beginning when the Word was, “and the Word was with God, and the word was God … and the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:1,14). Then the Bible continues the portrayal of Christ, saying; "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; He who was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen of angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory." (1 Timothy 3:16).
In justifying the honor placed on Jesus, Allah is quoted in Quran as saying; “Isa (Jesus), I am about to cause your term on earth to end and lift you up to Me. I shall take you away from those who disbelieve and exalt your followers above them till the Day of Resurrection."
The Jews believe, as many of the Muslims do, that the idea of "The Son of God" was an innovation of Christianity, brought as a heresy against the faith in the One God. But in the Jewish Torah or Old Testament, you will find that the doctrine of God's Son is braided, fused, and embedded its very foundations. Psalm 2:10-12 says; "Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him."
The wisest human that ever lived, King Solomon, made known that that Son is the Son of the Omni-potent Creator to whom nothing is impossible: "Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest? " (Proverbs 30:4)

HolyHolla:

19:30;

i will try as much as possible to enlighten you more.....the fact is that islam requires knowledge

@ the bolded part 1 you claim the holy spirit is not an angelic eing your proof

“We gave Jesus, son of Mary,
clear signs, and strengthened him
with the Holy Spirit…” (Al-
Baqarah: 253)
[b]
in the first place who is the holy spirit in the QURAN?.....the holy spirit is ANGELGABRIEL
MY PROOF
He sends down the
Spirit from His command, upon
those of His servants He chooses,
in order to warn people of the
Day of Meeting.” (Ghafir: 15)

2. “Say: The Holy
Spirit brought it down from your
Lord with the truth, to
strengthen those who believe,
and as a guidance and good
tidings to the Muslims.” (An-Nahl:
102)
3. The Prophet (peace and blessings
be upon him) prayed to Allah to
strengthen the famous poet Hassan
ibn Thabit with the Holy Spirit in
composing poems in defense of
Islam: “O Allah! Strengthen him
with the Holy Spirit.” (Reported
by al-Bukhari)
more: www.islamawareness.net/Angels/fatwa_holyspirit.html
SO THIS IS ENOUGH TO PROVE TO YOU THAT ALL PROPHET INCLUDING PROPHET MUHAMMAD RECEIVE REVELATION FROM ANGEL GABRIEL AND THIS IS EVIDENT IN THE BIBLE bt am nt going into that ).....so the holy spirit is angel gabriel and all prophet receive revelation from him NOT ONLY JESUS [/b]

also in your next post @ bolded 2 ”
HolyHolla: received the true
Gospel from God 57:27; and asked all to obey him. If
as a true Muslim should, you believe the Bible as the Quran
says, you must also believe the surah that says, “… We
believe in that which is revealed to us and which was
revealed to you. Our God and your God is one. To Him we
surrender ourselves.”
pls read the full verse
From verse 26
1:26 And We sent Noah and Abraham, and established in their line Prophethood and Revelation: and some of them were on right guidance. But many of them became rebellious transgressors.1:27 Then, in their wake, We followed them up with (others of) Our apostles: We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them: (We commanded) only the seeking for the Good Pleasure of Allah. but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet We bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious transgressors.


DID YOU READ THIS VERSE? as you can see your clim is not there the verse is even rebuking the christians it is telling them the truth
HolyHolla: 43:63
If
as a true Muslim should, you believe the Bible as the Quran
says, you must also believe the surah that says, “… We
believe in that which is revealed to us and which was
revealed to you. Our God and your God is one. To Him we
surrender ourselves
you quote 53:63 pls read from erse 62
1:62 Let not the Evil One hinder you: for he is to you an enemy avowed.
1:63 When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: "Now have I come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which ye dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey me.
1:64 "For Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord: so worship ye Him: this is a Straight Way."1:65 But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement: then woe to the wrong-doers, from the Penalty of a Grievous Day!

as you can see i dont need to comment on it the verse is explanatory in fact the verse is eplanatory in the bible

Father, and to my God, and your God

now lets examine if what the quran say about the bible is true
1:65 But sects from among
themselves fell into disagreement: then woe to the wrong-
doers, from the Penalty of a Grievous Day!
before i prove it right i will want to say what muslim says about the bible
ALLAH send moses to deliver the torah and jesus (injeel)........and some other prophets are send by almighty ALLAH we muslim we agree by anything the bible say that did not contradict the quran but any verse in the bible that contradict the quran is not from GOD According to our belief
Allaah says about the Jews (interpretation of the
meaning): “Do you (faithful believers) covet that they
will belive in your religion in spite of the fact that a party
of them (Jewish rabbis) used to hear the Word of Allaah
(the Tawraat), then they used to change it knowingly
after they understood it?” [al-Baqarah 2:75]

NOW EVIDENCE IN THE BIBLE

Take this example: www.answering-christianity.com/1john5_7.htm
The lie of 1 John 5:7 later
discovered by the Roman Catholics Theologians. Some
Bible do have verse 1 John 5:7, and some don't. So, even if
there was some prophecy that was fulfilled in the book of
1 John, which there isn't by the way, then this still doesn't
make all of it TRUSTFUL, because according to the
Theologians and Historians of the Bible, most of the books
and gospels of the Bible were written by MYSTERIOUS
AUTHORS. No one really knows WHO THE REAL AUTHORS
WERE!

2. Take another example: The NIV Bible's Theologians and
Historians wrote the following about the book of Mark in
dark green below. Pay close attention to the commentary
on Mark 16:9-20 doubtful verses below:
The Gospel of Mark:
"Although there is no direct internal evidence of
authorship, it was the unanimous testimony of the early
church that this Gospel was written by John Mark. (From
the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1488) "
So, in reality, we don't really know whether Mark was the
sole author of this Gospel or not. And since The New
Testament wasn't even documented on paper until
150-300 years (depending on what Christian you talk to)
after Jesus, then how are we to know for sure that the
current "Gospel of Mark" wasn't written by some pro of
Mark?

3. So, in reality, we don't really know whether Mark was the

current "Gospel of Mark" wasn't written by some pro of
Mark?

This quote raises a very serious issue here. First of all, as
we've seen above in the first quote, we have no evidence
that proves that John Mark was the sole author of this so
called "Gospel". Second of all, we see that this Gospel has
some serious problems/suspicions in it. The issue of Mark
16:9-20 is a scary one, because many Christian cults today
use poisonous snakes in their worship and end up dying.
Removing Mark 16:9-20 is quite appreciated by me
personally (to be quite honest with you), because it
prevents people from dying from snake bites. But
however, the serious issue of man's corruption of the Bible
remains.
We can be absolutely certain now that the above quotes
prove without a doubt that the Bible is doubtful. The
quote "or its original ending has been lost" proves that
what we call today "Gospels" were not written by their
original authors such as Mark, John, Matthew, etc... It
proves that the Gospel had been tampered with by man.
Let alone considering it as the True Living Words of GOD
Almighty.
If John Mark wasn't the one who wrote Mark 16:9-20, then
who did? And how can you prove the ownership of the
other person? Let alone proving that it was GOD Almighty's
Revelation. And as we saw in the first quote above, we
don't even know that John Mark was indeed the one who
wrote the so called "Gospel of Mark".
To say the least in our case here, we now have enough
evidence to discard the entire Gospel of Mark from the
Bible, because you can't take bits and pieces of it and say
some of it belongs to him and some of it doesn't! Let alone
considering the entire corrupted Gospel as the True Living
Word of GOD Almighty, which is a complete blasphemy.

Know they not Allah Knoweth what they conceal and what they reveal? And
there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book, but (see therein
their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture. Then woe to those
who write the Book with their own hands, and then say: 'This is from
Allah,' To traffic with it for a miserable price! Woe to them for what their
hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby. (The Noble Quran,
2:77-79) "
