Qur’an was revealed to amend so many things in the lives of human being. If not for the Qur’an, humanity would have been left with having negative and bad picture about God. According to the Bible, anyone who is hanged and died on a cross is under the CURSE of God (Galatians 3:13, Deuteronomy 21:23). Yet despite this evil omen attached to dying on the cross, the Christians still believe that Jesus was crucified and died on the cross in ACCORDANCE WITH THE WILL OF GOD. However, this very doctrine of an only beloved and innocent son who was under the curse of His own merciful and omnipotent Father is self contradictory and repugnant to human reasoning. Before the advent of Christianity, nobody would believe or imagine that such a doctrine can even exist. It is totally foreign and contradictory to our logical reasoning for God of love, mercy and justice to curse an innocent and righteous soul for any reason whatsoever. This is the reason why the message of atonement through Jesus crucifixion was a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles during the lifetime of Paul ( 1st Corinthians 1:23). But Paul tried to write some verses in an attempt to solve this problem of logical contradiction inherent in this very doctrine. Such verses are as follows: The natural man does not receive the things of the spirit, for they are foolishness to him; he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned (1st Corinthians 2:14).
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing (1st Corinthians 1:18). Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men (1st Corinthians 1:25).
This is the reason why many Christians see no logical problem again with the idea of “an innocent, beloved and righteous son who was under the curse and condemnation of his own merciful and omnipotent Father”. Therefore, base on the verses quoted above, Paul has succeeded in making the Christians to think that a fundamental spiritual doctrine which is completely foolish to our logical reasoning could actually be a great wisdom in the sight of God. But if Paul's assertion is really true, why would God of reason (Isaiah 1:18) ask a natural man to believe and accept a fundamental spiritual doctrine that cannot be understood and completely foolish to his logical reasoning especially when that reasoning is the ONLY INSTRUMENT at his disposal to recognize that true spirituality in the midst of many fake spiritualities? If there is only one spirituality in the entire world of human being, then Paul may be right in his claim. But there are many spiritualities like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Confucianism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Baha’ism, Taoism and Sikhism. Since each of these spiritualities is claiming to be on the right path, it is now left for any natural man to use the only instrument (his logical reasoning) given to him by God to recognize the true spirituality in the midst of many fake spiritualities. This is exactly the reason why God must design the true spirituality in such a way that all its basic and fundamental doctrine would not be in conflict with the basic logical reasoning He bestowed upon a natural man. A fundamental true spiritual doctrine may support or be neutral to basic logical reasoning bestowed upon natural man; but they will never be in conflict with each other. How could true spirituality designed by God and basic logical reasoning originated from the same God be in conflict with each other? If they can be in conflict with each other, then how can a natural man decide whether to accept or reject a true spiritual faith in the midst of many fake spiritual faiths? Have you now seen how Paul gets it wrong by asserting that “the natural man does not receive the things of the spirit, for they are foolishness to him”? Is true spirituality not meant to be accepted and embraced by natural man? Now that it is foolishness to him; how is he going to accept and embrace it?
To see further that Paul is wrong in his claim; suppose you are invited by a friend to accept a religious faith that is very rich in spirituality. But one of its unique and fundamental doctrines you must embrace wholeheartedly is that you have to believe that God MUST commit an act of lying in order to achieve a particular greater purpose (May God be Exalted and glorified above such behavior). Now consider the following questions; 1. Would you just accept such faith because of its spiritual richness or reject it because of its foolishness to your logical reasoning? 2. Would you not ask about the actual connections that exist between that greater purpose and the act of lying that must be committed by God before the purpose can be achieved? 3. Would you not ask why All- knowing and Omnipotent God decided, at first instance, to give preference for such irrational way of lying over many rational ways He can design and create from His infinite knowledge and unlimited power to achieve that greater purpose? 4. Would you just accept that the way and the thought of such a lying God is higher and complex than your way and your thought? 5. Would you just fold your arms and accept that the foolishness of such a lying god is wiser than the wisdom of all men (see 1st Corinthians 1:25 quoted above)? 6. Would you just accept such faith relying on the claim that it has already been foretold in one old book that God would commit such act of lying (just like the Christians used to claim that it has already been foretold in the Old Testament that God would curse and condemn an innocent and righteous soul on the cross of Calvary for the sins of all men)? Now ponder over these six questions cited above and then tell me the difference between this imaginary faith which proclaim that God MUST commit an act of lying to achieve a particular greater purpose and the Christian faith which also proclaim that God MUST curse (Galatians 3:13,Deuteronomy 21:23) and condemn an innocent and righteous soul on a cross of Calvary to achieve a particular greater purpose (like solving the problem of sin with humanity or rescuing the humanity from bondage of Satan). Therefore, if you reject this imaginary faith because of its foolishness to your logical reasoning, then you must also reject Christianity since the two faiths are telling us to believe the exact opposite of what we naturally know about God through our logical reasoning. As God is naturally known to ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH AND NEVER TO COMMIT AN ACT OF LYING for any greater purpose; He is also naturally known to ALWAYS BLESS THE INNOCENT AND RIGHTEOUS SOUL AND NEVER TO CURSE THE SAME SOUL for any greater purpose. God may allow an innocent and righteous soul to suffer for one reason or the other. But God would never "curse" an innocent and righteous soul for any reason whatsoever.
It is now clear that even if there are some spiritual benefits in the inner rooms of a true faith, there is still need for the logical reasoning to take us to the main door of those inner rooms at first encounter. But as we have pointed above, the doctrine of a merciful, omnipotent and omniscient God who cursed and condemned his only beloved and innocent son on the cross of Calvary for a particular greater purpose is totally in conflict with what we naturally know about God through our logical reasoning. This is because a god who could not devise a way to implement his plan except to curse and condemn an innocent and righteous soul is either not truly merciful or not truly omnipotent or not truly omniscient. Yet to believe in the existence of such a god is one of the fundamental doctrines you must embrace wholeheartedly for you to become a serious and devoted Christian. Therefore, there is need for God to send another prophet to remove this negative and bad picture of God from the minds of the general humanity. This is one of the many reasons why Qur’an was revealed by God to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In the Holy Qur’an, God removed this negative and bad impression from the minds of the people by declaring that, in a miraculous way, Jesus escaped death on the cross (Qur’an 4:157-158). In this way, the "curse of God" associated with any one that is crucified and died on a cross according to the Jewish law (Galatians 3:13, Deuteronomy 21:23) was removed from the head of our beloved and innocent prophet called Jesus Christ (peace be upon him). This is exactly in line with the prayer of Jesus to God in the garden of Gethsemane when he asked for this “cup of condemnation” to be taken away from him in THREE consecutive times as stated clearly in Matthew 26:36-44. Therefore, an illogical idea of God cursing an innocent and a righteous human soul on a cross of Calvary in order to solve the problem of sin with humanity ( or to liberate the humanity from the bondage of Satan) is far away from the truth. If all the sin atonement sacrifices in the Old Testament did not involve the descent of God's curse on any animal creature, then why would the same God of mercy descend such a curse on an innocent and righteous human being? The fact that the Holy Qur’an is the only religious book on earth that remove this negative and bad impression about God from the minds of the general humanity is a very great indicator that the book could never have come from no other person except God Himself.

Many of the Christians reject the Qur’an out rightly (even before having an opportunity to read what is written inside it) because they have been programmed right from childhood with the belief that Jesus (peace be upon him) was the last prophet of God sent to the entire world to die for the sins of all mankind. But how true is this claim? Have we not really been fooled with the assumption that religious faith of our parents is always right? Is it not high time for us to wake up from our slumber and then seek the truth with all diligence and open-mindedness? Was Jesus actually sent to the entire world? If Jesus ( pbuh) was actually the last prophet of God sent to the entire word, then why did he have to say: I WAS NOT SENT EXCEPT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL (Matthew 15:24). Now compare this Biblical verse with this Qur’anic verse; And We have not sent you ( O Muhammad-pbuh) except as a giver of glad tidings and as a Warner to ALL MANKIND, but most men do not know(Qur’an 34:28). See how Bible categorically declared that Jesus (pbuh) was sent only to the Israelites and see how Qur’an declared that Muhammad (pbuh) was sent to all mankind! There is no any indication in that Biblical verse that Jesus (pbuh) would later have anything to do with the Non- Israelites. In fact, when Jesus (pbuh) was sending out his apostles for evangelical mission, he also warned them categorically to avoid preaching to the Gentiles i:e the Non-Israelites: THESE TWELVE JESUS SENT FORTH, AND COMMANDED THEM,SAYING, GO NOT INTO THE WAY OF THE GENTILES,AND INTO ANY CITY OF THE SAMARITANS ENTER YE NOT: BUT GO RATHER TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL (Matthew 10:5-6). This further corroborates the fact that Jesus was sent only to the Israelites. But many of the Christian scholars proclaimed that this command of not preaching to the Gentiles was later cancelled and replaced by new command of preaching to all the nations in Matthew 28:19, where Jesus was reported to have commanded the apostles to make disciples of all nations. Therefore, according to these Christian scholars, Jesus (pbuh) who was originally sent only to the Israelites later became the last prophet sent to the entire world. But should we really accept Matthew 28:19 as the actual word of Jesus (pbuh)? If the apostles were later instructed by Jesus to preach the gospel to all the nations of the world as spuriously stated in Matthew 28:19, then why did Peter have to tell some of the Gentiles (Cornelius and his households) that sent for him as follows; YOU ARE WELL AWARE THAT IT IS AGAINST OUR LAW FOR A JEW TO ASSOCIATE WITH OR VISIT A GENTILE. BUT GOD HAS SHOWN ME THAT I SHOULD NOT CALL ANYONE IMPURE OR UNCLEAN (Acts 10:28 NIV)? This very incident occurred many years after Jesus’ departure from this world. Was Peter, who happened to be a Jewish man, not aware of the Jesus’ new command of preaching to all the nations stated in Matthew 28:19? Then why did peter have to say it is unlawful for him to associate with or visit a Gentile i:e the Non-Israelite? Has he forgotten such a very great and important command in Matthew 28:19? Very hard to believe! The fact that the other apostles also criticized peter and became astonished when they overheard that Peter later honored the invitation of those Gentiles ( Acts 11:1-18) prove that Peter and other apostles were completely unaware of the Jesus’ new command of preaching to all the nations in Matthew 28:19; Not that they had all forgotten. How could all apostles have forgotten such a very great and important command from their master? Even when Peter was justifying his visitation to those gentiles, he only defended himself and convinced the other apostles by making reference to the vision he had before he received the message from those Gentiles (Acts 10:1-28, 11:4-18) instead of simply reminding the other apostles about the so-called new command in Matthew 28:19.
Moreover, if it was already in the divine plan ( i:e before Jesus came into the world) that the command of not preaching to the Gentiles in Matthew 10:5-6 would later be cancelled and replaced by the new command of preaching to all the nations in Matthew 28:19, then Jesus’ statement in Matthew 15:24 should have been; “IT IS NOT YET TIME FOR THE GENTILES” or something similar in meaning, rather than; “I WAS NOT SENT EXCEPT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL”. All these facts are enough to prove that the new command of preaching to all the nations attributed to Jesus in Matthew 28:19 and other similar verses like it in other books of the New Testament are nothing but forgery. This is not a surprise because Jesus has already foretold that many liars would impersonate him and deliberately lie against him.
Furthermore, is it really biblical and logical to believe that Jesus (pbuh) was sent to die for the sins all mankind? How could an innocent soul die for the sins of the guilty ones when Deuteronomy 24:16, Ezekiel 18:20-22, Jeremiah 31:30, 2nd Chronicles 25:4 and 2nd Kings 14:6 established that THE PERSON THAT COMMITS SIN IS THE ONE WHO WILL DIE. The doctrine which says “an innocent and righteous man (rather than animal) must be killed in order to earn forgiveness of sins for those who are guilty” is not consistent with what the Bible teaches. After the sin of the Golden Calf, God expressed His intention to destroy the Jewish people. Moses intercedes, and asked God to blot him out of His book (i:e to condemn him) as a means of atonement for the sins committed by his followers. But God rejected the request made by Moses and told him that “Whoever has sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book!” (Exodus 32:30-33). If Jesus was truly destined to suffer and die for the sins of all humanity, then God should have told Moses plainly that his offer of atonement was rejected because Jesus had taken upon himself this great task of atoning for the sins of all the generations and that if the followers of Moses desire forgiveness for their sins, they should believe in the future Crucifixion of Jesus. But nothing of such was recorded. On the contrary, the request made by Moses was rejected on the basis that WHOEVER HAS SINNED AGAINST GOD, him WILL GOD PUNISH, NOT THE INNOCENT.
Furthermore, Luke 5:32 and Mark 2:17 recorded a verse where Jesus said; “I have not come to call the righteous BUT SINNERS TO REPENTANCE”. If Jesus has actually come to die for the sinners, he would have mentioned it in this verse since he was talking about the purpose of his coming WITH RESPECT TO THE SINNERS. Moreover, if this baptism of repentance, for which Jesus came to invite the sinners to observe, is sufficient to atone and wipe away our sins as stated clearly in Acts 2:38, 3:19,Mark 1:4, Isaiah 55:6-7 and Ezekiel 33:10-20, then is there any need again for atonement of sins through Jesus crucifixion?
The original Jesus’ disciples, before Paul came into scene, were only commanded to warn the people with this message; Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Matthew 10:5-7, Mark 1:14, 15). There was no any reference of sin atonement through Jesus crucifixion in their preaching. In fact , when Peter was addressing the congregation of Israelites after Jesus departure, he said to them as follows: Repent, and let everyone of you be baptized in the name of Christ for the REMISSION OF SINS; and you shall receive the gift of holy spirit.(Acts 2:38). You can see that Peter and the other apostles only asked the Israelites to remit their sins by observing the baptism of repentance. Peter did not mention remission of sins through Jesus crucifixion in this long discussion he had with the children of Israel.
Even logically, this very doctrine cannot be true because telling the believers that they will no longer be held responsible for all their sins since one innocent man had already been held responsible on their behalf seems to imply that they are now free to commit sins as long as they believe in this atonement sacrifice. Whereas telling the believers that, except they repent sincerely by turning from their sinful ways, they themselves will be held responsible for their sins would make them think twice before committing any sin. Of course the latter is more logical and reasonable than the former. In fact, the resurrection of Jesus make this sin atonement doctrine to be even more illogical because if the punishment which Jesus received in place of the sinners is a continuous one and not temporary, then this can make the sinful believers to feel sorry for Jesus and become more remorseful. This may discourage them from committing more sin. But since according to the Christians, Jesus had been resurrected and the punishment received by Jesus in place of the sinners had already ended, then there is no any cause for alarm if the sinful believers in this doctrine seized this opportunity to commit more sins. In fact, one would expect the sinful believers to utilize and maximize this opportunity by committing more sins since the punishment for those sins had already been accomplished by Jesus on the cross in the time past. Have you now seen that atonement of sins through Jesus crucifixion is the most illogical concept you can ever think of!
Christians are programmed to believe that it is only the sacrificial blood of Jesus that can take away our sins i:e it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins (Hebrews 10:4). However, Leviticus 16:21-30 says as follows "the GOAT will carry on itself all the sins of Israelites to a remote place and the man shall release the goat in the wilderness......Then before the LORD, you will be clean from all your sins”. But Christian scholars usually proclaim that animal sacrifices could only “cover” sins; they could not take them away; but when Jesus shed his own blood, then the sins were taken away. But is there any indication whatsoever in the verse in the book of Leviticus quoted above that the sins of Israelites were only covered and not completely taken away? God says: “Then before the LORD, you will be CLEAN FROM ALL YOUR SINS”. To insist and proclaim that there is a difference between “take away of sins” and “clean from all sins” is only an attempt to resolve an obvious and irreconcilable contradiction between Hebrews 10:4 and Leviticus 16:21-30. The only way to resolve this contradiction is when the term “take away of sins” in Hebrews 10:4 implies complete removal of humanity sinful nature; and NOT achieving divine forgiveness for already committed sins. However, complete removal of humanity sinful nature by blood of Jesus is impossible as nobody can be completely free from committing minor sins; “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (1 John 1:”. Therefore, the contradiction between Hebrew 10:4 and Leviticus 16:21-30 still remain valid. Besides, if removal of humanity sinful nature is compulsorily required for salvation and the ONLY WAY to achieve this is by shedding of Jesus’ blood on the cross, then how did old Testament saints like Abraham, Moses, Ezekiel, Joshua, Jeremiah etc and their sincere followers managed to have eternal life? The blood of Jesus can never remove their sinful nature because these people have already lived and died before the alleged crucifixion. Again, their already committed sins have been forgiven through animal sacrifices in the book of Leviticus when God Almighty declare as follows; THEN BEFORE THE LORD, YOU WILL BE CLEAN FROM ALL YOUR SINS (Leviticus 16:30). There is no any indication in this very verse that their sins is only temporarily erased and then would permanently taken away by blood of Jesus. Therefore, if some set of people among the children of Adam, who live and die before Jesus arrival, can attain salvation, righteousness and reconciliation back to God, then is there any need again for just and merciful God to curse and condemn an innocent soul on the cross of Calvary before another set of people among the children of the same Adam can attain similar success?
Christians are also programmed to believe that divine forgiveness and remission of sins can ONLY be obtained by shedding of blood (Hebrews 9:22). Yet in 2nd Chronicles 7:14, God Almighty says “If My people, who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will FORGIVE THEIR SINS and will heal their land.”. Again in Isaiah 55:7,God Almighty declares; let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thought. Let them turn to the LORD; He will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will FREELY PARDON. Furthermore, in Ezekiel 33: 10-16, God says; “Son of man, say to the Israelites; this is what you are saying: our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live? Say to them: as surely as I live declares the sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel? Therefore, son of man say to your people… if someone, one who is wicked, REPENTS, that person’s former wickedness will not bring condemnation… And if I say to the wicked person, you will surely die, but they then turn from their sins and do what is just and right…follow the decree that gives life, and do no evil--that person will surely live: they will not die. NONE OF THE SINS that person has committed will be remembered against them. They have done what is just and right; they will surely live”. You can see that God did not ask the wicked sinners to shed any blood before their sins can be forgiven in all these verses. What He actually wants from them is sincere repentance from their sinful ways. However many Christian Scholars generally insist that the remission of sins can ONLY be obtained by vicarious blood sacrifice , and they cite as proof Leviticus 17:11 which says: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.” But does this verse clearly teach that blood is the ONLY means God has provided to make atonement? Certainly not! The verse quoted above says; “for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.”. The verse did not say; “for it is ONLY the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.” In the Torah, blood sacrifices were not the only path to atonement; there were other ways to achieve forgiveness. For example, INCENSE was served to atone for the people in Numbers 16:46-47, and GIVING OF CHARITY is described in Exodus 30:15-16 and Numbers 31:50 as "MAKING ATONEMENT FOR YOUR SOUL"– the same expression used in Leviticus 17:11. In fact, King Solomon prophesied that the Jewish people would earn forgiveness for their sins in the land of their enemies by sincere repentance and prayer where they could not have access to blood atonement sacrifices; "If they RETURN TO YOU WITH ALL THEIR HEART AND WITH ALL THEIR SOUL in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and PRAY TO YOU TOWARD their LAND which You have given to their fathers, the CITY which You have chosen, and the HOUSE which I have built for Your name; then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven Your dwelling place, and maintain their cause, and FORGIVE Your people who have sinned against You and ALL THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS which they have transgressed against You…” (I Kings 8:46-50). See how God would forgive the sins of the Israelites if they repent and pray toward the house of God in Jerusalem just like the Muslims used to pray toward the house of God in Mecca. All these facts prove that Hebrew 9:22 is WRONG by asserting that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Again, when Daniel advised the King Nebuchadnezzar on how he would atone for his sins and his iniquities, he did not ask the King to shed any blood. Read what he asked the King to do:"Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto you, and break off your sins by PRACTICING RIGHTEOUSNESS, and your iniquities by SHOWING MERCY TO THE POOR (Daniel 4:27)".

As the Jews must have no option other than to become the followers of the Gospel after the departure of Moses (peace be upon him) and arrival of Jesus (pbuh). Similarly, the Christians must have no option other to become the followers of Qur’an after the departure of Jesus (pbuh) and arrival of Muhammad (pbuh). But if the Christians insist that the original author of Qur’an is not God, then they must compulsorily believe its author to be a great liar and impersonator who spoke in the name and personality of God. The reason is that Qur’an contains many verses which appear to be coming directly from God’s mouth. Ordinarily, without any prejudice or preconceived notion, you will think that God was speaking directly to His creatures. Examples of such verses are as follows;

Have they not looked at the heaven above them, how We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it. And the earth- We have spread it out, and We set there on mountains standing firm, and We caused to grow therein every kind of beautiful growth (Qur’an 50:6-7)
O My servants who believe! Certainly, My earth is spacious. Therefore worship Me and Me alone. Every soul shall have a taste of death. Then to Us you shall be brought back (Qur’an 29:56-57).
And indeed We have created man, and We know what his own mind whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein (Qur’an 50:16)
When My servants ask you concerning Me, I am indeed close to them. I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he called on Me. Therefore, let them also listen My call and believe in Me; That they may be walked in the right way (Qur’an 2:186)
And indeed We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six days and nothing of fatigue touched Us (Qur’an 50:38)
Surely to Us is their turning back. Then surely upon Us is the taking of their account (Qur’an 89:25-26)
And she(i:e Mary) who guarded her chastity; We breathed Our spirit into her and We made her and her son(i:e Jesus-pbuh) a sign for all the nations( Qur’an 21:91).

And man says; “when I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive?” Does not man remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?( Qur’an 19:66-67).

We have enjoined on man goodness to his parents, and if they contend with you that you should associate with Me (in worship) anything of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. Unto Me is your return, and I shall tell you what you used to do (Qur’an 29:7-.


I am indeed forgiving to those who repent, believe and do righteous good deeds and then remain constant in following the right path( Qur'an 20:82).

Declare unto My servants, that truly, I am the oft-forgiving, the most merciful. And that My torment is indeed the most painful torment (Qur'an 15:49-50).

“O children of Israel! Remember My special favor which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your covenant with Me as I fulfill My covenant with you, and fear none but Me. And believe in what I have sent down ( i:e this Qur’an) confirming that which is with you, and be not the first to reject it, nor sell My verses for a small price; and fear Me, and Me alone (Qur’an 2:40-41)”.

And that was Our proof which We gave to Abraham against his people. We raise whom We will in degrees. Certainly your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing. And We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob, each of them We guided. And before him We guided Noah, and among his progeny David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the good doers. And Zachariah, and John and Jesus and Elias, all in the ranks of the righteous. And Ishmael and Elisha, and Jonah and Lot; each one of them We preferred above the nations. And also some of their fathers, and their progeny and their brethren, We chose them, and We guided them to a straight path. This is the guidance of God with which He guides whomsoever He wills of His servants. But if they had joined in worship others with God, all their deeds would have been of no benefit to them. They are whom We gave the book, and authority and prophet hood…They are those whom God had guided. So follow their guidance (Qur’an 6:84-90).


These are just few verses excerpted randomly from the pages of the Holy Qur’an. You can see that almost all of the first person pronouns like “I”, “My”, “Me”, “Our”, “Us” and “We” in all the verses of Qur’an quoted above can never be referred contextually to any other person except God. Therefore, anybody who denies the Qur’an as the word of God must compulsorily believe its author to be a liar and a great impersonator of God. Yet anybody that makes up his mind to impersonate God and deliberately lie against Him for any worldly benefit must have been enticed and seriously misled by Satan. But how could Satan have enticed and seriously misled a person to guide the idol-worshippers in the ancient Mecca to the idea of believing in one God and all biblical prophets including Moses and Jesus Christ (peace be upon them)? It is a well known fact that before the advent of Islam, people of Mecca used to worship up to three hundred and sixty idols. Therefore, if the ultimate aim of Satan is to deceive the people until they die in a bad spiritual state, then Satan should prefer leaving the people of Mecca in their former state to exposing them to the idea of believing in one God and all biblical prophets of God. What benefit would Satan acquire from guiding the idol worshippers to the idea of believing in Jesus’ miraculous birth (Qur’an 21:91)? Again, what gain would Satan realize from exposing the idol worshippers to the idea of believing in Jesus’ ascension to heaven (Qur’an 4:158)? What satisfaction would Satan derive from revealing to the idol worshippers the idea of believing in all the miracles performed by Jesus during his earthly ministry (Qur’an 5:110)? If it is generally agreed that Satan is evil and promote disobedience to God’s commandment, whereas Qur’an is full of warning against idolatry and all other evil practices, then how can the two be reconciled? To hold such a view is repugnant to reason, as Satan would only have undermined himself and his objectives by enticing and misleading a person to call those who were in error to the right path . Even the Bible attests to this fact: And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end (Mark 3:26). If you check through the Bible, you will discover that a confirmed false prophet is always preceded by a true prophet. A false prophet is always inspired and motivated by the glory and honor received by the true prophet. But this was not the case with Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as no prophet was ever raised among the Arabs before he made his claim as being the prophet of God. Therefore, it is very unlikely for Muhammad (pbuh) to be a false prophet. In fact, there is no need for Satan to instigate such a false prophet among the Arab pagans since they were still in error and yet to be guided by any true prophet. Consequently, the author of Qur’an can never be an impersonator who would lied deliberately against God because there is no any agent that can instigate and influence such a great liar other than Satan, and yet Satan would never guide and expose the idol-worshippers to the idea of believing in one God and all the Biblical prophets including Moses and Jesus Christ (peace be upon them).
How could God have left such a great liar and impersonator to survive for good twenty-three years and also allow his book to be protected from destruction since one thousand four hundred and thirty years ago till today? The reason why God permit the other religions like Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Sikhism (etc) and their scriptures to exist is because their founders only stood out as spiritual teachers. They never claim that their scriptures came from God of Israel. Their scriptures do not contain words which appear to be COMING DIRECTLY FROM GOD’S MOUTH OF ISRAEL. But Qur’an is totally different. Qur’an contains many verses which appear to be coming directly from God’s mouth of Israel. Examples are quoted above. So Qur’an is unique in its claim as being the word of God. Therefore, to believe that Qur’an is not authored by God create more problems for the Jews and the Christians than it really solves! They have to explain why God would allow a liar to impersonate him for good 23 years and also allow his book to be protected from destruction since 1,430 years ago till today; yet God did not even allow Hananiah , who deliberately lied against Him, to live for just a year(Jeremiah 28:1-17)..
God may allow anybody to write or speak about Him as you may also allow your friend to write or speak about you. But if you as a truthful person would never allow your friend- talk less of your enemy- to impersonate you in order to deceive some innocent people, then why do you think the God Almighty, who is more truthful than you, would allow such a thing to happen to Him especially when God declare as follows; how can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield My glory to another (Isaiah 48:11). Please read those verses of Qur'an cited above again and again. Has God not let Himself to be defamed if He allowed a deliberate liar to impersonate Him in such a reasonable and perfect manner? Has God not yielded His glory to another if He allowed a deliberate liar to impersonate Him and also allow such impersonator to praise all the Biblical prophets in the way the author of Qur'an has done and then still allow the word of such impersonator to be safe-guarded from destruction since 1,430 years ago till today as exactly prophesied in Qur’an 15:9 as follows: “Surely, We have revealed the reminder ( i:e the Qur’an) and We will most surely be its guardian”.
In fact, God deliberately spare the life of His prophet till concluding verse of his mission was revealed to him where God Almighty declare as follows: This day, I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed My favor upon you, and I have chosen for you Islam as your religion(Qur’an 5:3). If the prophet was a great impersonator and a great liar against God as Jews and Christians believe, then why would God have to wait for 23 years till this concluding verse of his mission was fabricated in His name especially when there were many great opportunities for God to terminate his life in one of the battles he fought with his enemies? If God would allow a liar to impersonate Him reasonably and perfectly, then He should have clearly informed us in the Bible just like Jesus informed us about his own impersonation: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, saying ‘I am the Christ’, and will deceive many (Matthew 24:4-5)”.See how Jesus declared in an unambiguous terms that many liars would impersonate him. This simply shows that we cannot be completely sure that all the words attributed to Jesus in all the books of the New Testament actually comes from the mouth of the true Jesus Christ. However, you can never find a single biblical verse where God categorically inform us and foretell that a great liar is going to impersonate Him. If God of truth and wisdom would also allow a liar to impersonate Him, He should also have informed us in a very precise term just like Jesus did.
In the verses of the book of Deuteronomy, the only acid test put forward by God to distinguish His actual word from the word of His impersonator is that the word of such impersonator would not come to pass or come true; And if you say in your heart; How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken? When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is the word the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him (Deuteronomy 18:21-22). But Qur’an contains many words of prophecy which have come to pass and come true. For example, one of the great prophecies is that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) will be victorious over his enemies (Qur’an 58:20-21). Another prophecy is that Islam will be established and continue to spread, and the number of Muslims will continue to grow (Qur’an 24:55, 110:1-2, 48:28). Another prophecy is that Qur’an will be protected from destruction and corruption (Qur’an 15:9). Another prophecy is that Qur’an will be made easy for memorization (Qur’an 54:17, 22, 40). Another prophecy is that people will continue to pay visitation to the house of God in Mecca (Qur’an 22:26-28, 2:125, 14:37). Another prophecy is that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) would be highly famous and frequently mentioned throughout the world (Qur’an 94:4);In fact, the name of prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is usually mentioned five times in a day during the call to prayer in all the mosques found in the nooks and crannies of the earth.
Therefore, according to the acid test in the verses of the book of Deuteronomy quoted above, Qur’an must be the last and final word of God because of; (1) its speaking in the name and personality of God of Israel (2) the fulfillment of its general and special miraculous prophecies.

If it was according to the divine plan that the author of Qur’an would be a great impersonator of God, then Bible should be full of warning and information about this impersonator It is a well known fact that, at this present time, Bible and Qur’an are the most widely known religious books on the earth. Therefore, if Qur’an is really the word of a liar and impersonator of God as Christians must presume, and the Bible really prophesied about what is going to happen in the future, then Bible must definitely have something to say about the Qur’an and its author. But instead of warning us and pre-informing us about the so-called liar that is going to impersonate Him just like Jesus talked about his own impersonators in Matthew 24:4-5 (quoted above), God only demonstrated to us, through His dealing with Hananiah (the false prophet who spoke in the name of God in the Bible), that He would never allow such a thing to happen for a long time; Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, ‘Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies. Therefore this what the Lord says: I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the Lord. In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died (Jeremiah 28:15-17). You will notice that what happened to Hana niah is exactly what God has already foretold about “a false prophet who speaks in the name of God” as written in the verses of Deuteronomy; But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, THAT SAME PROPHET SHALL DIE(Deuteronomy 18:20). Therefore, if God did not even allow Hananiah to live for just a year, then how could He have allowed the supposed author of Qur’an to impersonate Him and deliberately lie against Him for good 23 years? This is indeed a food for thought for the sincere Jews and Christians who truly believe in the existence of God!
Many of the Christians reject the Qur’an out rightly (even before having an opportunity to read what is written inside it) because they have been programmed right from childhood with the belief that Jesus (peace be upon him) was the last prophet of God sent to the entire world to die for the sins of all mankind. But how true is this claim? Have we not really been fooled with the assumption that religious faith of our parents is always right? Is it not high time for us to wake up from our slumber and then seek the truth with all diligence and open-mindedness? Was Jesus actually sent to the entire world? If Jesus ( pbuh) was actually the last prophet of God sent to the entire word, then why did he have to say: I WAS NOT SENT EXCEPT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL (Matthew 15:24). Now compare this Biblical verse with this Qur’anic verse; And We have not sent you ( O Muhammad-pbuh) except as a giver of glad tidings and as a Warner to all mankind, but most men do not know(Qur’an 34:28). See how Bible categorically declared that Jesus (pbuh) was sent only to the Israelites and see how Qur’an declared that Muhammad (pbuh) was sent to all mankind! There is no any indication in that Biblical verse that Jesus (pbuh) would later have anything to do with the Non- Israelites. In fact, when Jesus (pbuh) was sending out his apostles for evangelical mission, he also warned them categorically to avoid preaching to the Gentiles i:e the Non-Israelites: THESE TWELVE JESUS SENT FORTH, AND COMMANDED THEM,SAYING, GO NOT INTO THE WAY OF THE GENTILES,AND INTO ANY CITY OF THE SAMARITANS ENTER YE NOT: BUT GO RATHER TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL (Matthew 10:5-6). This further corroborates the fact that Jesus was sent only to the Israelites. But many of the Christian scholars proclaimed that this command of not preaching to the Gentiles was later cancelled and replaced by new command of preaching to all the nations in Matthew 28:19, where Jesus was reported to have commanded the apostles to make disciples of all nations. Therefore, according to these Christian scholars, Jesus (pbuh) who was originally sent only to the Israelites later became the last prophet sent to the entire world. But should we really accept Matthew 28:19 as the actual word of Jesus (pbuh)? If the apostles were later instructed by Jesus to preach the gospel to all the nations of the world as spuriously stated in Matthew 28:19, then why did Peter have to tell some of the Gentiles (Cornelius and his households) that sent for him as follows; YOU ARE WELL AWARE THAT IT IS AGAINST OUR LAW FOR A JEW TO ASSOCIATE WITH OR VISIT A GENTILE. BUT GOD HAS SHOWN ME THAT I SHOULD NOT CALL ANYONE IMPURE OR UNCLEAN (Acts 10:28 NIV)? This very incident occurred many years after Jesus’ departure from this world. Was Peter, who happened to be a Jewish man, not aware of the Jesus’ new command of preaching to all the nations stated in Matthew 28:19? Then why did peter have to say it is unlawful for him to associate with or visit a Gentile i:e the Non-Israelite? Has he forgotten such a very great and important command in Matthew 28:19? Very hard to believe! The fact that the other apostles also criticized peter and became astonished when they overheard that Peter later honored the invitation of those Gentiles ( Acts 11:1-18) prove that Peter and other apostles were completely unaware of the Jesus’ new command of preaching to all the nations in Matthew 28:19; Not that they had all forgotten. How could all apostles have forgotten such a very great and important command from their master? Even when Peter was justifying his visitation to those gentiles, he only defended himself and convinced the other apostles by making reference to the vision he had before he received the message from those Gentiles (Acts 10:1-28, 11:4-18) instead of simply reminding the other apostles about the so-called new command in Matthew 28:19.
Moreover, if it was already in the divine plan ( i:e before Jesus came into the world) that the command of not preaching to the Gentiles in Matthew 10:5-6 would later be cancelled and replaced by the new command of preaching to all the nations in Matthew 28:19, then Jesus’ statement in Matthew 15:24 should have been; “IT IS NOT YET TIME FOR THE GENTILES” or something similar in meaning, rather than; “I WAS NOT SENT EXCEPT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL”. All these facts are enough to prove that the new command of preaching to all the nations attributed to Jesus in Matthew 28:19 and other similar verses like it in other books of the New Testament are nothing but forgery.

There is one thing peculiar to a liar who deliberately lied against God for gaining some worldly benefits. This kind of a liar is totally different from a common liar who only lied to save himself from one kind of difficult situation or another. Such a deliberate liar against God is usually in a certain state of mind without him realizing it. He was being greatly deceived by his own mind. Within his mind, he saw good reasons and justification for embarking on such an act of deliberately lying against God. In other word, the evil of his action is made to be good and fair-seeming in his own eyes without him realizing it. If he truly realized that he has actually been deceived by his own mind, he would not have embarked on such an action. But such a deliberate liar commits his act of lying because there is no way for him to realize that he has been deceived by his own mind. Although he knew in his mind that what he was doing is wrong, yet he embark on doing such thing because the evil of his action was somehow made to be fair and okay in his own eyes. The author of Qur’an clearly makes reference to this very concept we are discussing which shows that the author was well familiar with this concept. In fact, the author explained this concept in a very concise and logical manner by comparing a rightly guided prophet who is on clear evidence from God with such a person whose evil of his action is made to be good and fair in his own eyes. In this way, the author of Qur’an has actually liberated himself from the possibility of being among such deliberate liars whose their bad deeds are made to be fair seeming and good in their own eyes. Therefore, the author of Qur’an could not be one of the deliberate liars against God. If he were to be one of them, there is no way he can realize and know about this concept; because nobody would actually know and fully realized that he was being deceived and then still allow the deception to be continued . Such references in the Quran are as follows: Is he (i:e a true prophet) who is on a clear proof from his Lord, like him to whom the evil of his work is made to be good and fair- seeming, and like those that follow their own lusts? (Qur’an 47:14). Is he to whom the evil of his deeds made fair-seeming, so that he looks upon it as good ( equal to the one who is rightly guided)?(Qur’an 35:. Is he who was dead spiritually then We gave him life of faith and set for him a light of guidance through which he walks among the people, be like him who is in the darkness of disbelief from which he can never come out? Thus it is made fair seeming to the unbelievers that which they used to do (Qur’an 6:122). See how the author is revealing the true and the real picture of an evil doer (like a deliberate liar against God) whose bad deeds were made to be fair and good in his own eyes! See again how the author compares such an evil doer with a rightly guided person who is on clear evidence from God! Can evil doer (like deliberate liar against God) reveal his true and real picture and then compare himself with a true prophet who received true guidance from God?

Pls in what way does the verses of Qur'an quoted above resemble the word of a lunatic under the satanic influence? Can Satan misled a person to guide the idol worshippers to the idea of believing in one God and all biblical prophets including Moses and Jesus Christ. Can Satan misled a person to guide the idol worshippers to the idea of believing in Jesus miraculous birth(Qur'an 21:91)? Can Satan misled a person to guide the idol worshippers to the idea of believing in all the miracles performed by Jesus during his earthly ministry (Qur'an 5:110)? Can Satan misled a person to guide the idol worshippers to the idea of believing in Jesus ascension to heaven(Qur'an 4:158)? Sorry your heart has been completely locked up from understanding the verses of the Qur'an quoted above!

It is either the Christians believe in Quran as the word of God and then accept Islam or believe in Qur'an as the word of a liar and impersonator who deliberately lied against God. However the author of Qur’an declare that the most wicked act that a person can commit is to deliberately lie against God; "Who can be more wicked than one who forges a lie against God or says: It has been revealed to me; while nothing has been revealed to him, and he who says: I can reveal the like of what God has revealed? And if you could but see when the wrong-doers are in the agonies of death, while the angels are stretching forth their hands (saying); deliver your souls! This day you shall be recompensed with torment of degradation because of what you used to utter against God other than the truth. And you used to reject His signs with arrogance. And truly you have come unto Us alone as We created you the first time. You have left behind you all that which We had bestowed on you. We see not with you your intercessors whom you claimed to be partners with God. Now all relations between you and them have been cut off, and all that you used to claim has vanished from you (Qur’an 6:93-94)". Do you think that any deliberate liar against God can still have the confidence to say that the greatest wickedness one can commit is to forge a lie against God and yet have another confidence in describing the state of conditions in which such deliberate liars will find themselves at the point of death and after leaving this world? Can a deliberate liar (who lied against God to acquire some worldly gains) ever think and say that the same worldly gains he was aiming at will soon be left behind him and that what he used to claim will soon be vanished from him - “You have left behind you all that which We had bestowed on you… and all that you used to claim has vanished from you”. Even if we assume that he knew about this truth in his mind, could he have that confidence to write it again in his book? By writing such things, would he not be killing the spirit pushing him to carry out his mission?
In fact, the author of Qur’an speak in the name of God with full confidence and a very high authority in a manner which is beyond the imagination and reasoning of any human being . See what I meant by this statement in these verses: "And remember the Day We shall cause the mountains to pass away, and you will see the earth as a leveled plain, and We shall gather them all together so as to leave not one of them behind. And they will be set before your Lord in rows; now indeed, you have come to Us as We created you in the first time. Nay, but you thought We had appointed no meeting for you (with Us). And the book (of record) will be placed, and you will see the criminals fearful of that which is recorded therein. They will say: “woe to us! What sort of book is this that leaves neither a small thing nor a big thing, but has recorded it with numbers!”.And they will find all that they did, placed before them, and your Lord treats no one with injustice. (Qur’an 18:47-51). We said: O fire be you coolness and safety for Abraham. And they wanted to harm him, but We made them the worst losers. And We rescued him and his nephew (Lot) and directed them to the land which We have blessed for the nations. And We bestowed on him Isaac and, as an additional gift, Jacob. Each one of them We made righteous. And We made them leaders, guiding people by Our command, and We inspired in them the doing of good deeds, to establish regular prayers, and to practice regular charity and they constantly worship Us. And to Lot, We gave wisdom and knowledge, and We saved him from the town who practiced filthy deeds. Verily they were a people given to evil, a rebellious people. And We admitted him into Our mercy: for he was one of the righteous. And Noah, when he cried afore time, We listened to his invocation and We saved him and his family from great distress, We helped him against the people who denied Our signs. Verily, they were a people given to evil. So We drowned them all. And remember David and Solomon, when they gave judgment in the case of the field in which the sheep of certain people had pastured at night: We did witness their judgment. We made Solomon to understand the case, and to each of them We gave wisdom and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains and the birds to glorify Our praises along with David, And it was We Who were the doers of all these things(Qur’an 21:69-79). We shall set up scales of justice for the Day of judgment, so that no soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least, and if there is (a deed good or bad ) no more than the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it to account: and sufficient are We to take account (Qur’an 21:47). And remember the Day when We shall roll the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books, even as We began the first creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfill it (Qur’an 21:104) . And they say: Why has not an angel sent down to him? Had We sent down an angel, the matter would have been judged at once, and no respite would be granted to them. And had We made him an angel, We would certainly have sent him as a man, and We would certainly have caused them confusion in a matter which they have already covered with confusion. (Qur’an 6:8-9). And they swear their strongest oath by God, that if there came to them a sign, by it they would believe. Say: Signs are only in the power of God: but what will make you realize that even if that sign came, they will not believe. And We too shall turn their hearts and their eyes away (from guidance), as they refused to believe in this (message) in the first instance: And We shall leave them in their trespasses to wander blindly. And even if We had sent down unto them angels, and the dead had spoken unto them, and We had gathered together all things before their very eyes, they would not have believed, unless it is in God’s plan, but most of them behave ignorantly (Qur’an 6:109-111). Is it possible for an impersonator and deliberate liar against God to be the author of all these noble verses especially when we call to mind that the first set of people the Qur’an was admonishing were idol-worshippers living in ancient Makah? Has God ever sent a liar to guide people who were in error to the right path? All these verses of Qur'an are too marvelous to originate from corrupt mind of a liar who deliberately lied against God.

Every rational thinker will agree with me that a deliberate liar against God must have little or very weak faith in the existence of God. A person who seriously resolved within his mind to deliberately impersonate and lie against God in order to achieve some worldly gains must be partially or totally convinced that God does not exist. But contrary to the expectation of the Non-Muslims, the author of Holy Qur’an argue strongly in many verses for the existence of one true God in a very logical and convincing manner by making a lot of references to natural signs in the universe which truly point to the existence of God. Examples of such verses are as follows: Verily in the heavens and the earth, are Signs for those who believe. And in the creation of yourselves and the fact that animals are scattered through the earth, are Signs for people who have faith with certainty. And in the alternation of Night and Day, and the fact that God sends down Sustenance (i:e rain) from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the turning about of the Winds are Signs for those that are wise. Such are the Signs of God which We recite to you( O Muhammad-pbuh) in truth. Then in what exposition will they believe after rejecting God and His Signs?(Qur’an 45:3-6). And among His signs is this that He created you from dust and behold you are human beings scattered far and wide. And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily in that are indeed Signs for those who think deeply. And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colors: verily in that are indeed Signs for men of sound knowledge. And among His Signs is the sleep that you take by night and by day, and your seeking of His bounty: verily in that are Signs for those who hearken. And among His Signs is that He shows you the lightning, by way of fear and hope, and He send down water from the sky, and therewith revives the earth after its death. Verily, in that are indeed Signs for those who are wise (Qur’an 30:20-24). Have they not looked at the heaven above them, how We have made it and beautify it, and there no flaws in it. And the earth We spread it out, and We set thereon mountains and We have made to grow therein every kind of beautiful plants. To be an insight and reminder to every servant who turns frequently to God (Qur’an 50:6-. Say: Have you ever considered this: If God were to make the night perpetual over you till the Day of Judgment –is there any deity other than God that could bring you light? Will you not then hear the truth? Say: Have you ever considered this: If God were to make the day perpetual over you till the Day of judgment- is there any deity other than God that could bring you night wherein you might rest? Will you not then see the truth? (Qur’an 28:71-72). In fact, time and space would not permit me to quote more verses. Please read those verses again. You will agree with me that the author of Qur’an who explained the signs for the existence of God in such a logical and convincing manner can never be the same person who would deliberately and boldly impersonate and lie against the same God. Even if the author was seriously in doubt about the existence of God, then he would never have that confidence and audacity to put his life and soul in danger as the following verse below would implied if we assumed that the author was impersonating and fabricating a lie against God; Verily, they were about to tempt you away from that which We(God) have revealed to you (O Muhammad -pbuh),to fabricate something other than it against Us(God), then they would certainly have taken you as intimate friend! And had We (God) not made you stand firm, you would nearly have inclined to them a little .In that case We (God) would have made you taste a double portion of punishment in this life and double portion of punishment after death. And then you would have found none to help you against Us (God)(Qur’an 17:73-75). Before any one, who is not mad, can be boldly and deliberately put his life and soul in danger by challenging and impersonating God in this way, he must have been completely and totally sure in his mind that God does not exist. Yet nobody can be completely and totally sure that God does not exist: let alone the author of Holy Qur’an who argue strongly for the existence of God in a very logical and convincing manner as shown in the many verses quoted above. Now, is it possible for the same author to be totally and completely sure that God does not exist to the extent of having that confidence and audacity to ask God Almighty to punish him twice both in this worldly life and in the life after death? Certainly not! No matter how little it may be, the author must exercise some kind of doubts in his belief that God does not exist. Even if the author was bold enough to ask God to give him double portion of punishment in this world, the author can never have that audacity to ask God again to give him double portion of punishment in the life after death. In fact, this point alone, if properly understood; prove two things at the same time. It proves that God must exist and that Qur’an must be authored by God; this is the only way we can resolve the apparent contradiction inherent in a concept of an author who argue logically and convincingly for the existence of one true God but at the same time deliberately and fearlessly impersonating the same God to the extent of asking God to punish him twice both in this world and in the life after death if he had fabricated a lie against Him. Besides, any false prophet who deliberately lied against God must desire nothing but the glory, the enjoyment and splendor of this worldly life. The knowledge and the ultimate target of such a deliberate liar do not go beyond this worldly life. If this is true, then such deliberate liar would never be the same person having the insight, wisdom and spirit to rebuke and admonish people as follows; Therefore, withdraw(O Muhammad-pbuh) from him who turns away from Our Reminder and desires nothing but the life of this world. That is what they could reach of knowledge. Verily, your Lord is He who knows best him who goes astray from His path, and He knows best him who receives guidance (Qur’an 53:29-30). How did a deliberate liar against God, who desires nothing but the life of this world, get to know that having desire only for this worldly life is an incomplete and fake knowledge (as implied by his word):“That is what they could reach of knowledge”)? Furthermore, Qur’an admonish the prophet as follows: And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them, the splendor of the life of this world that We may test them thereby. But the provision of your Lord is better and more lasting (Qur’an 20:131). How did an impersonator and deliberate liar against God get to understand that the enjoyment and splendor of worldly life possessed by the unbelievers is a just a test and trial from God? In fact, in another verse, the Author of Qur’an went to an extent to give a parable of this worldly life as follows: Verily the likeness of this worldly life is just like a rain We send down from the sky, so by it arises the intermingled produce of the earth of which men and cattle eat until when the earth is clad with its adornments and is beautified, and the people to whom it belongs think they have all powers of disposal over it: There reaches it Our command by night or by day and We make it like a clean-mown harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday! Thus do We explain the signs in detail for the people who think deeply. And God invites to the home of peace (i:e Paradise) and guides whom He wills to a straight path(Qur’an 10:24-25).Do you think this kind of wise and beautiful parable talking about the little and passing enjoyments of this worldly life can originate from the corrupt mind of an impersonator who deliberately lied against God to acquire some worldly benefits?

Many Christians believe that the entire Bible support Christianity. They are unaware that there are many discrepancies between Christianity and the Bible itself. The reason is that most of the books in the Bible have been written many decades before the advent of Christianity. Therefore, it is not longer a wonder when we see that most of the unique and fundamental doctrines in Christianity contradict what is written inside the Bible. In fact, I have ten of such doctrines highlighted below. IT IS VERY UNLIKELY THAT THESE TEN DOCTRINES JUST HAPPENED TO DISAGREE WITH THE BIBLE BY MERE COINCIDENCE . For example 1. Christians believe that Jesus is God in a trinitarian sense: yet when Jesus was praying to the Father he said " And this is eternal life,that they may know You,THE ONLY TRUE GOD,and Jesus Christ whom you have sent(John 17:3) .Therefore,if the Father is the only true God according to Jesus Christ, then how could Jesus be God or part of Triune God? In fact, the word "ONLY" used by Jesus in this very verse has put an end to any further argument on this issue of Jesus divinity 2. The official title given to Jesus by most Christians is son of God: yet the official title Jesus gave himself in many verses of the Bible is Son of Man. 3. Christians believe that Jesus WILLINGLY laid down his life for atonement sacrifice: yet Matthew 26:36-44 declare that Jesus asked for the removal of cup of death in THREE consecutive times. 4. Christians believe that Jesus was sent to the entire world: yet Jesus said " I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 15:24) 5. Christians believe that Jesus died for our sins: yet Deuteronomy 24:16, Ezekiel 18:20-22, Jeremiah 31:30 and Exodus 32:30-33 established that the person that commit sin is the one who will die. 6. Christians believe that Jesus appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus after Jesus has ascended to heaven (Acts 22:6-: yet Jesus said if anyone says here is Christ or there,DO NOT BELIEVE IT (Matthew 24:23) 7. Christians believe that God of love and mercy must CURSE (Deuteronomy 21:23, Galatians 3:13) and condemn His beloved and innocent prophet on the cross for the sins he has never committed: yet condemnation of righteous and innocent soul is strictly forbidden in the Bible ( Matthew 12:7,proverb 17:15,exodus 23:7,psalm34:22). 8. Christians believe in Trinity: yet Jesus said " hear o Israel, the Lord our God is one (Mark12:29) he did not say three in one or one in three. 9.Christians believe that God created all things through Jesus Christ(Colossians 1:16,Hebrews 1:2,1st Corinthians 8:6): yet Isaiah 44:24 declare that God created the heavens and the earth ALL ALONE. 10.Christians believe that EVERY WORD of the Bible was inspired by God: yet Paul wrote and gave judgement without having commandments from the Lord; " But to the rest I Paul, NOT THE LORD, say: if any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. And a woman who......"(1st Corinthians 7:12-13, 25-40). Please ponder over this ten doctrines that Christians embraced wholeheartedly. See how they disagree with the Bible! Should we just believe that these ten discrepancies are mere coincidence ? If these ten doctrinal beliefs which are also hostile to the Bible were to be removed, then there is no difference again between Christianity and Islam.1 Muslims believe in Jesus as a mighty prophet of God(Qur'an 19:30). 2.Muslims believe in Jesus miraculous birth(Qur'an 21:91) 3.Muslims believe in all the miracles Jesus performed during his earthly ministry (Qur'an 5:110) 4.Muslims believe in Jesus ascension to heaven (Qur'an 4:158) 5.Muslims believe in Jesus 2nd coming toward the end of the world.(Qur'an 43:57-61)

If you believe in Qur'an as the word of God, then you must compulsorily accept Islam because it is the last book which claims for itself the right of being the word of God. But if you think the original author of Qur’an is not God, then you must believe its author to be a great liar and impersonator who spoke in the name of God. The reason is that Qur’an contains many verses which appear to be coming directly from God’s mouth. Example of such verses are; “O children of Israel! Remember My special favor which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your covenant with Me as I fulfill My covenant with you, and fear none but Me. And believe in what I have sent down ( i:e this Qur’an) confirming that which is with you, and be not the first to reject it, nor sell My verses for a small price; and fear Me, and Me alone(Qur’an 2:40-41)”. And that was Our proof which We gave to Abraham against his people. We raise whom We will in degrees. Certainly your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing. And We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob, each of them We guided. And before him We guided Noah, and among his progeny David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the good doers. And Zachariah, and John and Jesus and Elias, all in the ranks of the righteous. And Ishmael and Elisha, and Jonah and Lot; each one of them We preferred above the nations. And also some of their fathers, and their progeny and their brethren, We chose them, and We guided them to a straight path. This is the guidance of God with which He guides whomsoever He wills of His servants. But if they had joined in worship others with God, all their deeds would have been of no benefit to them. They are whom We gave the book, and authority and prophet hood…They are those whom God had guided. So follow their guidance (Qur’an 6:84-90). Indeed We have created man, and We know what his own mind whispers to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein(Qur'an 50:16). You can see that the first person pronouns like “I”, “My”, “Me”, “Our” and “We” in all these verses can never be referred to any other person except God. Therefore, anybody who denies the Qur’an as the word of God must compulsorily believe its author to be a great impersonator of God. Yet any sane person that just makes up his mind to impersonate God and deliberately lie against Him must have been enticed and misled by Satan. But how could Satan have enticed and misled a person to guide the idol-worshippers in the ancient Mecca to the idea of believing in one God and all biblical prophets including Moses and Jesus Christ (peace be upon them)? It is a well-known fact that before the advent of Islam, people of mecca used to worship up to 360 idols. If the ultimate aim of Satan is to deceive people until they die in a bad spiritual state, then would it not better for him to leave the people of Mecca in their formal state than to guide them to the idea of believing in one God and all biblical prophets including Jesus Christ (pbuh)? If it is generally agreed that Satan is evil and promote disobedience to God’s commandment, whereas Qur’an is full of warning against idolatry and all other evil practices, how can the two be reconciled? To hold such a view is repugnant to reason, as Satan would only have undermined himself and his objectives by furthering the cause of God. Even the Bible attests to this fact: And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end (Mark 3:26). Do you think the God of truth and wisdom would allow Satan or any deliberate liar to impersonate Him and then also allow such impersonator to praise all the Biblical prophets in the way the author of Qur’an has done? Again, how could God have left such a great liar and impersonator to survive for good twenty-three years and also allow his book to be protected from destruction since one thousand four hundred and thirty years ago till today? The reason why God permit the other religions like Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Sikhism etc and their scriptures to exist is because their founders only stood out as spiritual teachers. They never claim that their scriptures came from God of Israel. Their scriptures do not contain words which appear to be COMING DIRECTLY FROM GOD’S MOUTH OF ISRAEL. But Qur’an is totally different. Qur’an contains many verses which appear to be coming directly from God’s mouth of Israel. Examples are quoted above. So Qur’an is unique in its claim as being the word of God. Therefore, to believe that Qur’an is not authored by God create more problems for the Jews and the Christians than it really solves! They have to explain why God would allow a liar to impersonate him for good 23 years and also allow his book to be protected from destruction since 1430 years ago till today. Yet, God did not allow Hananiah, who lied against Him, to even live for just a year (Jeremiah 28:1-17). If God Almighty could allow any deliberate liar to impersonate Him perfectly and also allow the word of such impersonator to be protected from destruction since 1,430 years ago till today, then on what basis could any rational person distinguish such fake word of God from true word of God? Obviously, there would be no any difference between the two. God may allow anybody to write or speak about Him as you may also allow your friend to write or speak about you. But if you as a truthful person would never allow your friend- talk less of your enemy- to impersonate you in order to deceive some innocent people, then why do you think the God of truth and wisdom would allow such a thing to happen to Him especially when God declare as follows; How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield My glory to another (Isaiah 48:11). What kind of defamation is greater than God to allow a deliberate liar to impersonate Him? Has God not yielded His glory to another if He allowed a deliberate liar to impersonate Him and also allow such impersonator to praise all the Biblical prophets in the way the author of Quran has done and then still allow the word of such impersonator to be safe-guarded from destruction as prophesied in Qur’an 15:9 as follows:" Surely, We have revealed the reminder and We will most surely be its guardian". In fact, God deliberately spare the life of His prophet till concluding verse of his mission was revealed to him where God Almighty declare as follows: This day, I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed My favor upon you, and I have chosen for you Islam as your religion(Qur’an 5:3). If the prophet was a great impersonator and great liar against God, then why would God have to wait for 23 years till this concluding verse of his mission was fabricated in His name? If God would allow a liar to impersonate Him, then He should have clearly informed us in the Bible just like Jesus informed us about his own impersonation: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, saying ‘ I am the Christ’, and will deceive many(Matthew 24:4-5)”.See how Jesus declared in an unambiguous terms that many liars would impersonate him. But you can never find a single biblical verse where God categorically inform us that a great liar is going to impersonate Him. If God of truth and wisdom would also allow a liar to impersonate Him, He should also have informed us in a very precise term just like Jesus did. But instead of pre-informing us about His impersonation by a great liar, God only informed us about “a prophet like Moses” which God would put His words in his mouth; I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in My name, I Myself will call him into account. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods,THAT SAME PROPHET SHALL DIE. And if you say in your heart; How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken? When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is the word the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him (Deuteronomy 18:18-22). Base on these very verses, what then can we say about the Qur’an whose author spoke in the name of the Lord of Israel as shown in the verses quoted above? Are we going to accept it as the word of the Lord of Israel or reject it as the word of a great impersonator? In the verses of the Deuteronomy quoted just above, the only acid test put forward by God to distinguish His actual word from the word of His impersonator is that the word of such impersonator would not come to pass or come true. But Qur’an contains many words of prophecy which have come to pass and come true. For example, one of the great prophecies is that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) will be victorious over his enemies (Qur’an 58:20-21). Another prophecy is that Islam will be established and continue to spread, and the number of Muslims will continue to grow (Qur’an 24:55, 110:1-2, 48:28). Another prophecy is that Qur’an will be protected from destruction and corruption (Qur’an 15:9). Another prophecy is that Qur’an will be made easy for memorization (Qur’an 54:17, 22, 40). Another prophecy is that people will continue to pay visitation to the house of God in Mecca (Qur’an 22:26-28, 2:125). All these prophecies are known to be true. If they were not true, we would not have a religion known as Islam and we would not have a book known as Qur’an at this present time. All these prophecies are general ones known to all. However, there are some special miraculous prophecies in the Qur’an that God bestows upon whomsoever He wills among His servants. In fact, it happened that I personally experienced one of these miraculous prophecies; for whosoever care to believe me. I swear by God that this incident happened to me many years before I later discovered that Qur’an specifically made mention of it in a very clear and definite terms. As a matter of fact, it was among so many things that motivated me to write this very write-up you are holding in your hand. As usual, I was just reciting the Qur’an on that fateful day. When I got to a verse which I could not vividly remember, suddenly, my body began to be shaking. This act of shaking, which lasted for almost a minute, was so strong to the extent that the Qur’an I was holding fell out of my hand. When this act of shaking stopped, my heart began to beat faster and all my skin felt cool. It was after many years, when I was reading the translated Qur’an that I came across the verse that read thus; God has sent down the best statement, a book that its parts resemble each other in goodness and truth, oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it. Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of God. That is the guidance of God. He guides therewith whom He pleases and whomever God sends astray, for him there is no guide (Qur’an 39:23). In fact, I could not believe my two eyes when I saw this verse. I was so happy but at the same time, I wanted to be sure that the word translated as “shiver” in the English translation of Holy Qur’an actually corresponds to the original Arabic word. This Arabic word is “taqsha’irru. So I quickly searched for Arabic-English dictionary and I later discover that the word can be translated as “shake or shiver or tremble or quake”. This is how that very incident strengthens my faith in Holy Qur’an as the word of God. My faith still increases further when I came across another verse which says; We will show them Our signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this Qur’an is the truth (Qur’an 41:53). Therefore, according to those verses in the book of Deuteronomy quoted above, Qur’an is the last and final word of God because of its speaking in the name of God and the fulfillment of its general and special miraculous prophecies. But If you think that I am only lying about my own personal experience I narrated above and that the author of Qur’an was only impersonating God, then wait for the day you are going to die and meet the reality of this very verse; And whoever will not listen to my words that the prophet shall speak in My name, I Myself will call him into account (Deuteronomy 18:19).
If it was according to the divine plan that the author of Qur’an would be a great impersonator of God, then Bible should be full of warning and information about this impersonator. But instead of warning us and pre-informing us about the so-called liar that is going to impersonate Him just like Jesus talked about his own impersonators in Matthew 24:4-5 (quoted above), God only demonstrated to us through His dealing with Hananiah (the false prophet who spoke in the name of God in the Bible) that He would never allow such a thing to happen for a long time; Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, ‘Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies. Therefore this what the Lord says: I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the Lord. In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died (Jeremiah 28:15-17). You will notice that what happened to Hananiah is what God had already prophesied about "a false prophet who speak in the name of God" as written in the verses of Deuteronomy cited above; THAT SAME PROPHET SHALL DIE. Therefore, if God did not even allow Hananiah to live for just a year, then how could he have allowed the supposed author of Qur’an to impersonate Him for good 23 years? This is indeed a food for thought for the sincere Jews and Christians who truly believe in the existence of God!
It is a well known fact that Qur’an is full of praising God and all the biblical prophets. It commands what is good and forbids what is bad. Therefore, if the author of Qur’an was truly an impersonator of God, then God of truth, power and wisdom should not have allowed such a deceptive and hypocritical book to be in existence from 1430 years ago till today. God should have designed a way through which such a book would be destroyed together with its author. In fact, we would not have known that there was a book called Qur’an. But if we assume that God Almighty, in His infinite wisdom, deliberately allowed the word of such impersonator to be protected from destruction in order to serve as a test for the true believers in God, then God should have pre informed us and warned us about this great impersonator in the Bible just like Jesus talked about his own impersonators in Matthew 24:4-5.However, God allow the Qur’an to be protected from destruction since 1430 years ago till today. God also allow all the Qur'anic prophecies mentioned above to be fulfilled and yet God did not pre-inform us in the Bible that a great liar is going to impersonate Him. This simply shows that the real author of Qur’an is God Himself, not an impersonator of God as Jews and Christians think.

Yes Jesus said: "Your sins are forgiven you. Go and sin no more" . But when did Jesus make that statement? Before his so-called Crucifixion. This is exactly the point you are not getting. It is repentance and NOT Jesus crucifixion that God actually needs to forgive the sinners. This is the reason why it is possible for Jesus to say "your sins are forgiven you" despite the fact that he was still alive and yet to undergo the so-called Crucifixion. If Jesus crucifixion is actually required for divine forgiveness, then Jesus would not be able say the above statement while he was yet to be crucified.

If the debt is cancelled for just one time, then you might not feel comfortable to go and borrow more money. But if you are told that the cancellation is for every and single debt you owed through out your life time, then you must seized the opportunity to borrow more money. Sorry! Your analogy is not making any sense.

Logically, this very doctrine of sin atonement cannot be true because telling the believers that they will no longer be held responsible for all their sins since one innocent man had already been held responsible on their behalf seems to imply that they are now free to commit sins as long as they believe in this atonement sacrifice. Whereas telling the believers that, except they repent sincerely by turning from their sinful ways, they themselves will be held responsible for their sins would make them think twice before committing any sin. Of course the latter is more logical and reasonable than the former. In fact, the resurrection of Jesus make this sin atonement doctrine to be even more illogical because if the punishment which Jesus received in place of the sinners is a continuous one and not temporary, then this can make the sinner to feel sorry for Jesus and become more remorseful. This may discourage him from committing more sin. But since according to the Christians, Jesus had been resurrected and the punishment received by Jesus in place of the sinners had already ended, then there is no any cause for alarm if the sinful believer in this doctrine seized this opportunity to commit more sins. In fact, one would expect the sinners to utilize and maximize this opportunity by committing more sins since the punishment for those sins had already been accomplished by Jesus on the cross in the time past. Have you now seen that atonement of sins through Jesus crucifixion is the most illogical concept you can ever think of!

But if Paul's assertion quoted in 1 Corinthians 2:14 above is really true, why would God of reason and rationality (Isaiah 1:18) ask a carnal man to believe and accept a true spiritual doctrine that cannot be understood and completely foolish to his logical reasoning especially when that reasoning is the ONLY INSTRUMENT at his disposal to recognize that true spirituality in the midst of many fake spiritualities? If there is only one spirituality in the entire world of human being, then Paul may be right in his claim. But there are many spiritualities like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Confucianism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Baha’ism, Taoism and Sikhism. Since each of these spiritualities is claiming to be on the right path, it is now left for any carnal man to use the only instrument (his logical reasoning) given to him by God to recognize the true spirituality in the midst of many fake spiritualities. This is exactly the reason why God must design the true spirituality in such a way that all its basic and fundamental doctrine does not in conflict with the basic logical reasoning He bestowed upon a natural man. A fundamental true spiritual doctrine may support or be neutral to basic logical reasoning bestowed upon natural man, but they will never be in conflict with each other. How could true spirituality designed by God and basic logical reasoning originated from the same God be in conflict with each other? If they can be in conflict with each other, then how can a natural man decide whether to accept or reject a true spiritual faith at first instance? Have you now seen how Paul get it wrong by asserting that “the carnal man does not receive the things of the spirit, for they are foolishness to him”? Is true spirituality not meant to be accepted and embraced by carnal man? Now that it is foolishness to him; how is he going to accept and embrace it? To see further that Paul is wrong in his claim; suppose you are invited by a friend to accept a religious faith that is very rich in spirituality. But one of its unique and fundamental doctrines you must embrace without question is that you have to believe that God MUST commit an act of lying in order to achieve a particular greater purpose (May God be Exalted and glorified above such behavior). Now answer the following questions; 1. Would you just accept such faith because of its spiritual richness or reject it because of its foolishness to your logical reasoning? 2. Would you not ask about the actual connections that exist between that greater purpose and the act of lying that must be committed by God before the purpose can be achieved? 3. Would you not ask why All- knowing and Omnipotent God decided, at first instance, to give preference for such irrational way of lying to achieve a greater purpose over many rational ways He can design and create from His infinite knowledge and unlimited power to achieve that greater purpose? 4. Would you just accept that the way and the thought of such a lying God is higher than your way and your thought? 5. Would you just accept that the foolishness of such a lying God is wiser than the wisdom of all men ? 6. Would you just accept such faith relying on the fact that it has already been foretold many years ago in one old book that God would commit such act of lying? 7.Would you just accept such faith even if it is proclaimed that the act of lying commited by such God only lasted for a very few period of time? Now ponder over these seven questions cited above and then compare this imaginary faith which proclaim that God MUST commit an act of lying in order to achieve a particular greater purpose with the Christian faith which also proclaim that God MUST curse (Galatians 3:13, Deuteronomy 21:23) and shed the blood of an innocent and righteous soul on a cross of Calvary in order to achieve a particular greater purpose(like solving the problem of sin with humanity or rescuing the humanity from bondage of Satan or redeeming the souls of humanity from eternal damnation). Therefore, if you reject this imaginary faith because of its foolishness to your logical reasoning, then you must also reject Christianity since the two faiths are telling us the exact opposite of what we naturally know about God through our logical reasoning. As God is naturally known to ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH AND NEVER TO COMMIT AN ACT OF LYING for any greater purpose; He is also naturally known to ALWAYS BLESS THE INNOCENT AND RIGHTEOUS SOUL AND NEVER TO CURSE THE SAME SOUL for any greater purpose. God may allow an innocent and righteous soul to suffer for one reason or the other. But God would never "curse" an innocent and righteous soul for any reason whatsoever. It is now clear that even if there are some spiritual benefits in the inner rooms of a true faith, there is still need for the logical reasoning to take us to the main door of those inner rooms at first encounter. But as we have pointed above, the doctrine of a merciful, omnipotent and All-knowing God who cursed and shed the blood of his only beloved and innocent son on the cross of Calvary for a particular greater purpose is totally in conflict with what we naturally know about God through our logical reasoning; yet this is one of the fundamental doctrines you must embrace wholeheartedly for you to become a serious and devoted Christian. Therefore, there is need for God to send another prophet to remove this negative and bad picture of God from the minds of the general humanity. This is one of the many reasons why Qur’an was revealed by God to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In the Holy Qur’an, God removed this negative and bad impression from the minds of the people by declaring that, in a miraculous way, Jesus escaped death on the cross (Qur’an 4:157-158). In this way, the "curse of God" associated with any one that is crucified and died on a cross according to the Jewish law (Deuteronomy 21:23, Galatians 3:13) was removed from the head of our beloved and innocent prophet called Jesus Christ(peace be upon him). This is exactly in line with the prayer of Jesus to God in the garden of Gethsemane when he asked for this “cup of condemnation” to be taken away from him in THREE consecutive times as stated clearly in Matthew 26:36-44. Therefore, an illogical idea of God cursing an innocent and a righteous soul on a cross in order to achieve a particular greater purpose is far away from the truth. The fact that the Holy Qur’an is the only religious book on earth that remove this negative and bad impression about God from the minds of the general humanity is a very great indicator that the book could never have come from no other person except God Himself.

According to Hebrew 9:22, without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. Yet in 2nd Chronicles 7:14, God Almighty says as follows: “If My people, who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will FORGIVE THEIR SINS and will heal their land.”. Again in Isaiah 55:7,God Almighty declares; let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thought. Let them turn to the LORD; He will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will FREELY PARDON. Furthermore, in Ezekiel 33: 10-16, God says; “Son of man, say to the Israelites; this is what you are saying: our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live? Say to them: as surely as I live declares the sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel? Therefore, son of man say to your people… if someone one who is wicked REPENTS, that person’s former wickedness will not bring condemnation… And if I say to the wicked person, you will surely die, but they then turn from their sins and do what is just and right…follow the decree that gives life, and do no evil--that person will surely live: they will not die. NONE OF THE SINS that person has committed will be remembered against them. They have done what is just and right; they will surely live”. You can see that God did not ask the wicked sinners to shed any blood before their sins can be forgiven in all these verses. What He actually wants from them is sincere repentance from their sinful ways. Christians generally insist that the absolute need for vicarious blood sacrifice is rooted in the Torah, and cite as proof Leviticus 17:11 which says: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.” But does this verse clearly teaches that blood is the ONLY means God has provided to make atonement? Certainly not! In the Torah, blood sacrifices were not the only path to atonement; there were other ways to achieve forgiveness. For example, INCENSE was served to atone for the people in Numbers 16:46-47. Again, GIVING CHARITY is described in Exodus 30:15-16 and Numbers 31:50 as "MAKING ATONEMENT FOR YOUR SOUL"– the same expression used in Leviticus 17:11. In fact, King Solomon prophesied that the Jewish people would earn forgiveness for their sins in the land of their enemies by sincere repentance and prayer where they could not have access to blood atonement sacrifices; "If they RETURN TO YOU WITH ALL THEIR HEART AND WITH ALL THEIR SOUL in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and PRAY TO YOU TOWARD their LAND which You have given to their fathers, the CITY which You have chosen, and the HOUSE which I have built for Your name; then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven Your dwelling place, and maintain their cause, and FORGIVE Your people who have sinned against You and ALL THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS which they have transgressed against You…” (I Kings 8:46-50). All these facts prove that Hebrew 9:22 is WRONG by asserting that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Again, when Daniel advised the King Nebuchadnezzar on how he would atone for his sins and his iniquities, he did not ask the King to shed any blood. Read what he asked the King to do:"Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto you, and break off your sins by PRACTICING RIGHTEOUSNESS, and your iniquities by SHOWING MERCY TO THE POOR(Daniel 4:27)".

In 2nd Chronicles 7:14, God Almighty says “If My people, who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will FORGIVE THEIR SINS and will heal their land.”. Again in Isaiah 55:7,God Almighty declares; let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thought. Let them turn to the LORD; He will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will FREELY PARDON. Furthermore, in Ezekiel 33: 10-16, God says; “Son of man, say to the Israelites; this is what you are saying: our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live? Say to them: as surely as I live declares the sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?

Therefore, if the shedding of blood is NOT THE ONLY WAY, THEN THERE IS NO NEED FOR JESUS TO DIE.

Christians believe that Jesus came to die for our sins: yet Deuteronomy 24:16,Ezekiel 18:20-22, Jeremiah 31:30,2nd Chronicles 25:4, and 2nd Kings 14:6 established that THE PERSON THAT COMMITS SIN IS THE ONE WHO WILL DIE. The doctrine which says “an innocent person must be killed in order to earn forgiveness for those who are guilty” is not consistent with what the Bible teaches. After the sin of the Golden Calf, God expressed His intention to destroy the Jewish people. Moses intercedes, and asked God to blot him out of His book (i:e to condemn him) as a means of atonement for the sins committed by his followers. But God rejected his request and told him that “Whoever has sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book!” (Exodus 32:30-33). If Jesus was truly destined to suffer and die for the sins of all humanity, then God should have told Moses plainly that his offer of atonement was rejected because Jesus had taken upon himself this great task of atoning for the sins of all the generations and that if the followers of Moses desire forgiveness for their sins, they should believe in the future Crucifixion of Jesus. But nothing of such was recorded. On the contrary, the request made by Moses was rejected on the basis that WHOEVER HAS SINNED AGAINST GOD, him WILL GOD PUNISH, NOT THE INNOCENT. Furthermore, Luke 5:32 and Mark 2:17recorded a verse where Jesus said; “I have not come to call the righteous BUT SINNERS TO REPENTANCE”. If Jesus has actually come to die for the sinners, he would have mentioned it in this verse since he was talking about the purpose of his coming WITH RESPECT TO THE SINNERS. Moreover, if this baptism of repentance, for which Jesus came to invite the sinners to observe, is sufficient to atone and wipe away our sins as stated clearly in Acts 2:38, 3:19,Mark 1:4, Isaiah 55:6-7 and Ezekiel 33:10-20, then is there any need again for atonement of sins through Jesus crucifixion? The original Jesus’ disciples, before Paul came into scene, were only commanded to warn the people with this message; Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (Matthew 10:5-7, Mark 1:14, 15). There was no any reference of sin atonement through Jesus crucifixion in their preaching. In fact , when Peter was addressing the congregation of Israelites after Jesus departure, he said to them as follows: Repent, and let everyone of you be baptized in the name of Christ for the REMISSION OF SINS; and you shall receive the gift of holy spirit.(Acts 2:38). You can see that Peter and the other apostles only asked the Israelites to remit their sins by observing the baptism of repentance. Peter did not mention remission of sins through Jesus crucifixion in this long discussion he had with the children of Israel. Even logically, this very doctrine cannot be true because telling the believers that they will no longer be held responsible for all their sins since one innocent man had already been held responsible on their behalf seems to imply that they are now free to commit sins as long as they believe in this atonement sacrifice. Whereas telling the believers that, except they repent sincerely by turning from their sinful ways, they themselves will be held responsible for their sins would make them think twice before committing any sin. Of course the latter is more logical and reasonable than the former. In fact, the resurrection of Jesus make this sin atonement doctrine to be even more illogical because if the punishment which Jesus received in place of the sinners is a continuous one and not temporary, then this can make the sinner to feel sorry for Jesus and become more remorseful. This may discourage him from committing more sin. But since according to the Christians, Jesus had been resurrected and the punishment received by Jesus in place of the sinners had already ended, then there is no any cause for alarm if the sinful believer in this doctrine seized this opportunity to commit more sins. In fact, one would expect the sinners to utilize and maximize this opportunity by committing more sins since the punishment for those sins had already been accomplished by Jesus on the cross in the time past. Have you now seen that atonement of sins through Jesus crucifixion is the most illogical concept you can ever think of!

Are you going to accept the imaginary faith I made mention in the main post? If you reject it, then you must also reject Christianity. As God is known to always telling the truth and never to commit an act of lying for any greater purpose; God is also known to always BLESS and never to CURSE an innocent and righteous soul for any greater purpose. This is a simple logic we can use to test whether Christian faith is true or false. God will never come down to say "so and so religion is fake. God has given human being enough wisdom to know some certain things. It is now left for us to use this wisdom judiciously without letting our emotions and the love for the religion in which we were born to divert us from accepting the truth.

Qur'an was revealed to amend so many things in the lives of human being. If not for the Qur’an, humanity would have been left with having negative and bad picture about God. Despite the fact that condemnation of a righteous and innocent soul is clearly forbidden in the Bible (Matthew12:7, Proverbs17:15, Exodus23:7, Psalm34:22), the same believers in the Bible still believe that an Omnipotent and Merciful God MUST CURSE (Deuteronomy 21:23,Galatians 3:13) and condemn His only beloved and innocent son on the cross of Calvary in order to achieve a particular greater purpose like solving the problem of sin with humanity or rescuing the humanity from the bondage of Satan or redeeming the souls of humanity from eternal damnation. The doctrine of an only beloved and innocent son who was under the curse and condemnation of His own merciful and omnipotent Father is self contradictory and repugnant to human mind. Before the advent of Christianity, nobody would believe that such a doctrine can even exist. It is totally foreign and contradictory to our logical reasoning for God of love, mercy and justice to curse an innocent and righteous soul for any reason whatsoever. This is the reason why the message of atonement through Jesus crucifixion was a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the gentiles during the lifetime of Jesus’ apostles ( 1st Corinthians 1:23). But Paul managed to write some verses to solve this problem of logical contradiction inherent in this very doctrine. Such verses are as follows: The natural man does not receive the things of the spirit, for they are foolishness to him; he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned (1st Corinthians 2:14). For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing (1st Corinthians 1:18). Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men ( 1st Corinthians 1:25). This is the reason why many Christians see no logical problem again with the idea of “an innocent, beloved and righteous son who was under the curse and condemnation of his own merciful and omnipotent Father”. Therefore, base on the verses quoted above, Paul has succeeded in making the Christians to think that a spiritual religious doctrine which is completely foolish to our logical reasoning could actually be a great wisdom in the sight of God. But if Paul's assertion is really true, why would God of reason and rationality (Isaiah 1:18) ask a natural man to believe and accept a true spiritual doctrine that cannot be understood and completely foolish to his logical reasoning especially when that reasoning is the ONLY INSTRUMENT at his disposal to recognize that true spirituality in the midst of many fake spiritualities? If there is only one spirituality in the entire world of human being, then Paul may be right in his claim. But there are many spiritualities like Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Confucianism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Baha’ism, Taoism and Sikhism. Since each of these spiritualities is claiming to be on the right path, it is now left for any natural man to use the only instrument (his logical reasoning) given to him by God to recognize the true spirituality in the midst of many fake spiritualities. This is exactly the reason why God must design the true spirituality in such a way that all its basic and fundamental doctrine does not in conflict with the basic logical reasoning He bestowed upon a natural man. A fundamental true spiritual doctrine may support or be neutral to basic logical reasoning bestowed upon natural man, but they will never be in conflict with each other. How could true spirituality designed by God and basic logical reasoning originated from the same God be in conflict with each other? If they can be in conflict with each other, then how can a natural man decide whether to accept or reject a true spiritual faith at first instance? Have you now seen how Paul get it wrong by asserting that “the natural man does not receive the things of the spirit, for they are foolishness to him”? Is true spirituality not meant to be accepted and embraced by natural man? Now that it is foolishness to him; how is he going to accept and embrace it? To see further that Paul is wrong in his claim; suppose you are invited by a friend to accept a religious faith that is very rich in spirituality. But one of its unique and fundamental doctrines you must embrace without question is that you have to believe that God MUST commit an act of lying in order to achieve a particular greater purpose (May God be Exalted and glorified above such behavior). Now answer the following questions; 1. Would you just accept such faith because of its spiritual richness or reject it because of its foolishness to your logical reasoning? 2. Would you not ask about the actual connections that exist between that greater purpose and the act of lying that must be committed by God before the purpose can be achieved? 3. Would you not ask why All- knowing and Omnipotent God decided, at first instance, to give preference for such irrational way of lying to achieve a greater purpose over many rational ways He can design and create from His infinite knowledge and unlimited power to achieve that greater purpose? 4. Would you just accept that the way and the thought of such a lying God is higher than your way and your thought? 5. Would you just accept that the foolishness of such a lying God is wiser than the wisdom of all men (see 1st Corinthians 1:25 quoted above)? 6. Would you just accept such faith relying on the fact that it has already been foretold many years ago in one old book that God would commit such act of lying? 7.Would you just accept such faith even if it is proclaimed that the act of lying commmited by such God only lasted for a very few period of time? Now ponder over these seven questions cited above and then compare this imaginary faith which proclaim that God MUST commit an act of lying in order to achieve a particular greater purpose with the Christian faith which also proclaim that God MUST curse (Galatians 3:13, Deuteronomy 21:23) and condemn an innocent and righteous soul on a cross of Calvary in order to achieve a particular greater purpose(like solving the problem of sin with humanity or rescuing the humanity from bondage of Satan or redeeming the souls of humanity from eternal damnation). Therefore, if you reject this imaginary faith because of its foolishness to your logical reasoning, then you must also reject Christianity since the two faiths are telling us the exact opposite of what we naturally know about God through our logical reasoning. As God is naturally known to ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH AND NEVER TO COMMIT AN ACT OF LYING for any greater purpose; He is also naturally known to ALWAYS BLESS THE INNOCENT AND RIGHTEOUS SOUL AND NEVER TO CURSE THE SAME SOUL for any greater purpose. God may allow an innocent and righteous soul to suffer for one reason or the other. But God would never "curse" an innocent and righteous soul for any reason whatsoever. It is now clear that even if there are some spiritual benefits in the inner rooms of a true faith, there is still need for the logical reasoning to take us to the main door of those inner rooms at first encounter. But as we have pointed above, the doctrine of a merciful, omnipotent and All-knowing God who cursed and condemned his only beloved and innocent son on the cross of Calvary for a particular greater purpose is totally in conflict with what we naturally know about God through our logical reasoning; yet this is one of the fundamental doctrines you must embrace wholeheartedly for you to become a serious and devoted Christian. Therefore, there is need for God to send another prophet to remove this negative and bad picture of God from the minds of the general humanity. This is one of the many reasons why Qur’an was revealed by God to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In the Holy Qur’an, God removed this negative and bad impression from the minds of the people by declaring that, in a miraculous way, Jesus escaped death on the cross (Qur’an 4:157-158). In this way, the "curse of God" associated with any one that is crucified and died on a cross according to the Jewish law (Deuteronomy 21:23, Galatians 3:13) was removed from the head of our beloved and innocent prophet called Jesus Christ(peace be upon him). This is exactly in line with the prayer of Jesus to God in the garden of Gethsemane when he asked for this “cup of condemnation” to be taken away from him in THREE consecutive times as stated clearly in Matthew 26:36-44. Therefore, an illogical idea of God cursing an innocent and a righteous soul on a cross in order to achieve a particular greater purpose is far away from the truth. The fact that the Holy Qur’an is the only religious book on earth that remove this negative and bad impression about God from the minds of the general humanity is a very great indicator that the book could never have come from no other person except God Himself.

Would you just fold your arms and accept that the foolishness of such a lying God is wiser than the wisdom of all men (see 1st Corinthians 1:25 quoted above)? Now ponder over these five questions cited above and then tell me the difference between this imaginary faith which proclaim that God MUST commit an act of lying to achieve a particular greater purpose and the Christian faith which also proclaim that God MUST curse (Galatians 3:13,Deuteronomy 21:23) and condemn an innocent and righteous soul on a cross of Calvary to achieve a particular greater purpose-like solving the problem of sin with humanity or rescuing the humanity from bondage of Satan or redeeming the souls of humanity from eternal damnation.

The fact that the Holy Qur’an is the only religious book on earth that remove this negative and bad impression about God from the minds of the general humanity is a very great indicator that the book could never have come from no other person except God Himself.

If the Christians believe that the original author of Qur’an is not God, then they must believe its author to be a great liar and impersonator who spoke in the name and personality of God. The reason is that Qur’an contains many verses which appear to be coming directly from God’s mouth. Example of such verses are; “O children of Israel! Remember My special favor which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your covenant with Me as I fulfill My covenant with you, and fear none but Me. And believe in what I have sent down ( i:e this Qur’an) confirming that which is with you, and be not the first to reject it, nor sell My verses for a small price; and fear Me, and Me alone(Qur’an 2:40-41)”. And that was Our proof which We gave to Abraham against his people. We raise whom We will in degrees. Certainly your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing. And We bestowed upon him Isaac and Jacob, each of them We guided. And before him We guided Noah, and among his progeny David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the good doers. And Zachariah, and John and Jesus and Elias, all in the ranks of the righteous. And Ishmael and Elisha, and Jonah and Lot; each one of them We preferred above the nations. And also some of their fathers, and their progeny and their brethren, We chose them, and We guided them to a straight path. This is the guidance of God with which He guides whomsoever He wills of His servants. But if they had joined in worship others with God, all their deeds would have been of no benefit to them. They are whom We gave the book, and authority and prophet hood…They are those whom God had guided. So follow their guidance (Qur’an 6:84-90). You can see that the first person pronouns like “I”, “My”, “Me”, “Our” and “We” in these verses can never be referred to any other person except God. Therefore, anybody who denies the Qur’an as the word of God must compulsorily believe its author to be a great impersonator of God. Yet any sane person that just makes up his mind to impersonate God and deliberately lie against Him must have been enticed and misled by Satan. But how could Satan have enticed and misled a person to guide the idol-worshippers in the ancient Mecca to the idea of believing in one God and all biblical prophets including Moses and Jesus Christ (peace be upon them)? If it is generally agreed that Satan is evil and promote disobedience to God’s commandment, whereas Qur’an is full of warning against idolatry and all other evil practices, how can the two be reconciled? To hold such a view is repugnant to reason, as Satan would only have undermined himself and his objectives by furthering the cause of God. Even the Bible attests to this fact: And if Satan has risen up against himself and his divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end (Mark 3:26). Do you think the God of truth and wisdom would allow Satan or any deliberate liar to impersonate Him and then also allow such impersonator to praise all the Biblical prophets in the way the author of Qur’an has done? Again, how could God have left such a great liar and impersonator to survive for good twenty-three years and also allow his book to be protected from destruction since one thousand four hundred and thirty years ago till today? The reason why God permit the other religions like Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Sikhism etc and their scriptures to exist is because their founders only stood out as spiritual teachers. They never claim that their scriptures came from God of Israel. Their scriptures do not contain words which appear to be COMING DIRECTLY FROM GOD’S MOUTH OF ISRAEL. But Qur’an is totally different. Qur’an contains many verses which appear to be coming directly from God’s mouth of Israel. Examples are quoted above. So Qur’an is unique in its claim as being the word of God. Therefore, to believe that Qur’an is not authored by God create more problems for the Jews and the Christians than it really solves! They have to explain why God would allow a liar to impersonate him for good 23 years and also allow his book to be protected from destruction since 1430 years ago till today. Yet, God did not allow Hananiah, who also lied against Him, to even live for just a year (Jeremiah 28:1-17). If God Almighty could allow any deliberate liar to impersonate Him perfectly and also allow the word of such impersonator to be protected from destruction since 1,430 years ago till today, then on what basis could any rational person distinguish such fake word of God from true word of God? Obviously, there would be no any difference between the two. God may allow anybody to write or speak about Him as you may also allow your friend to write or speak about you. But if you as a truthful person would never allow your friend- talk less of your enemy- to impersonate you in order to deceive some innocent people, then why do you think the God of truth and wisdom would allow such a thing to happen to Him especially when God declare as follows; How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield My glory to another (Isaiah 48:11). What kind of defamation is greater than God to allow a deliberate liar to impersonate Him? Has God not yielded His glory to another if He allowed a deliberate liar to impersonate Him and also allow such impersonator to praise all the Biblical prophets in the way the author of Quran has done and then still allow the word of such impersonator to be safe-guarded from destruction as prophesied in Qur’an 15:9 as follows: Surely, We have revealed the reminder and We will most surely be its guardian. In fact, God deliberately spare the life of His prophet till concluding verse of his mission was revealed to him where God Almighty declare as follows: This day, I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed My favor upon you, and I have chosen for you Islam as your religion(Qur’an 5:3). If the prophet was a great impersonator and great liar against God, then why would God have to wait for 23 years till this concluding verse of his mission was fabricated in His name? If God would allow a liar to impersonate Him, then He should have clearly informed us in the Bible just like Jesus informed us about his own impersonation: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, saying ‘ I am the Christ’, and will deceive many(Matthew 24:4-5)”.See how Jesus declared in an unambiguous terms that many liars would impersonate him. But you can never find a SINGLE BIBLICAL VERSE where God categorically inform us that a great liar is going to impersonate Him. If God of truth and wisdom would also allow a liar to impersonate Him, He should also have informed us in a very precise term just like Jesus did. But instead of pre-informing us about His impersonation by a great liar, God only informed us about “a prophet like Moses” which God would put His words in his mouth; I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in My name, I Myself will call him into account. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. And if you say in your heart; How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken? When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is the word the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him (Deuteronomy 18:18-22). Base on these very verses, what then can we say about the Qur’an whose author spoke in the name of the Lord of Israel as shown in the verses quoted above? Are we going to accept it as the word of the Lord of Israel or reject it as the word of a great impersonator? In the verses of the book of Deuteronomy qouted above, the only acid test put forward by God to distinguish His actual word from the word of His impersonator is that the word of such impersonator would not come to pass or come true. But Qur’an contains many words of prophecy which have come to pass and come true. For example, one of the great prophecies is that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) will be victorious over his enemies (Qur’an 58:20-21). Another prophecy is that Islam will be established and continue to spread, and the number of Muslims will continue to grow (Qur’an 24:55, 110:1-2, 48:28). Another prophecy is that Qur’an will be protected from destruction and corruption (Qur’an 15:9). Another prophecy is that Qur’an will be made easy for memorization (Qur’an 54:17, 22, 40). Another prophecy is that people will continue to pay visitation to the house of God in Mecca (Qur’an 22:26-28, 2:125). All these prophecies are known to be true. If they were not true, we would not have a religion known as Islam and we would not have a book known as Qur’an at this present time. All these prophecies are general ones known to all. However, there are some special miraculous prophecies in the Qur’an that God bestows upon whomsoever He wills among His servants. In fact, it happened that I personally experienced one of these miraculous prophecies; for whosoever care to believe me. I swear by God that this incident happened to me many years before I later discovered that Qur’an specifically made mention of it in a very clear and definite terms. As a matter of fact, it was among so many things that motivated me to write this very write-up you are holding in your hand. As usual, I was just reciting the Qur’an on that fateful day. When I got to a verse which I could not vividly remember, suddenly, my body began to be shaking. This act of shaking, which lasted for almost a minute, was so strong to the extent that the Qur’an I was holding fell out of my hand. When this act of shaking stopped, my heart began to beat faster and all my skin felt cool. It was after many years, when I was reading the translated Qur’an that I came across the verse that read thus; God has sent down the best statement, a book that its parts resemble each other in goodness and truth, oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it. Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of God. That is the guidance of God. He guides therewith whom He pleases and whomever God sends astray, for him there is no guide (Qur’an 39:23). In fact, I could not believe my two eyes when I saw this verse. I was so happy but at the same time, I wanted to be sure that the word translated as “shiver” in the English translation of Holy Qur’an actually corresponds to the original Arabic word. This Arabic word is “taqsha’irru. So I quickly searched for Arabic-English dictionary and I later discover that the word can be translated as “shake or shiver or tremble or quake”. This is how that very incident strengthens my faith in Holy Qur’an as the word of God. My faith still increases further when I came across another verse which says; We will show them Our signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this Qur’an is the truth (Qur’an 41:53). Therefore, according to those verses in the book of Deuteronomy quoted above, Qur’an is the last and final word of God because of its speaking in the name of God and the fulfillment of its general and special miraculous prophecies. But If you think that I am only lying about my own personal experience I narrated above and that the author of Qur’an was only impersonating God, then wait for the day you are going to die and meet the reality of this very verse; And whoever will not listen to my words that the prophet shall speak in My name, I Myself will call him into account (Deuteronomy 18:19). If it was according to the divine plan that the author of Qur’an would be a great impersonator of God, then Bible should be full of warning and information about this impersonator. But instead of warning us and pre-informing us about the so-called liar that is going to impersonate Him just like Jesus talked about his own impersonators in Matthew 24:4-5 (quoted above), God only demonstrated to us through His dealing with Hananiah (the false prophet who spoke in the name of God in the Bible) that He would never allow such a thing to happen ; Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, ‘Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies. Therefore this what the Lord says: I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the Lord. In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died (Jeremiah 28:15-17).

Christians believe that after the disobedience and fall of the first Adam, the ONLY WAY ordained by God to gain salvation, righteousness and reconciliation back to God is by exercising faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:12-19): Yet the old testament saints like Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Moses etc and their sincere followers (who lived and died before Jesus arrival) were able to gain salvation, righteousness and reconciliation back to God without having the opportunity to exercise faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. All these people neither had any personal relationship with Jesus nor believed in his crucifixion as a means of atonement for their sins. Yet these people manage to restore their good relationship with God. If this is true, then how could Jesus have said: I am the way and the truth and the life? No one comes to the Father except through me(John 14:6)?In what way has the Old Testament saints passed through Jesus Christ to reach God the Father-when they did not even have any personal relationship with him-? This simply shows that the statement attributed to Jesus in the verse quoted above did not truly come from Jesus’ mouth. How could Jesus have said such statement when he has already informed us that He was only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 15:24). If it was already in the divine plan that Jesus would change his mind about this verse he should have simply said :"IT IS NOT YET TIME FOR THE GENTILES" instead of saying he was only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.But did Jesus ever prophesy that false statements would be made in his name? Certainly yes! He said: Take heed that no one deceive you. For MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME.(Matthew 24:4-5).

Christians believe that THE WHOLE of the Bible is divine and infallible word of God: yet Paul wrote extensively and gave judgments on the issue of marriage and divorce without being inspired by God- " But to the rest, I PAUL, NOT THE LORD, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her...... Now concerning virgins, I HAVE NO COMMANDMENT FROM THE LORD, yet I give judgment as one whom the Lord in His mercy has made trustworthy.(1st Corinthians 7:12-25) You see here how Paul is saying that he is using his best personal judgement,and that what is saying is not directly from God. Why would God “inspire” Paul to say that his words were NOT from Him? Have you now seen that Bible is a mixture of word of God and word of men? It is not stated in any verse that EVERY WORD of the Bible is word of God. In fact, the author of the book of Luke wrote as follows: “IT SEEMED GOOD TO ME also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the beginning, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus(Luke 1:3)”. We can see again that Luke wrote his Gospel not to the general humanity but to one specific influential person he addressed as "most excellent Theophilus" and also not because he was inspired by God but because it seemed good to him to write such an account due to his thought of having a sound knowledge on the matter. The only verse often used by Christians to prove that every word of the Bible is word of God is word of Paul in 2nd Timothy 3:16 which says “All scripture is given by inspiration of God”. But how can we believe that the term “All scripture” used by Paul refers to the entire Bible especially when the author of this very verse confessed that he wrote some things which were not actually inspired by God? Besides, at the time this verse was written by Paul, most of the New Testament books were yet to be penned down talk less of putting them together; therefore there is no any reason to believe that Paul has the other books of New Testament in mind when he was writing; “All scripture is given by inspiration of God". Even if we assume that this statement written by Paul refers to the entire Bible, there is still need for external evidence to prove that this very verse itself is also divinely inspired by God. The fact that a friend of yours simply told you “I AM NOT LYING" is not enough to prove that he has actually spoken the truth about the matter he was telling you. What if the statement “I AM NOT LYING” is another lie? Of course, this principle also applies to 2nd Timothy 3:16, 2nd peter 1:21 and any other verse used by Christians to claim divine origin for the entire Bible. The fact that these verses declare that the Bible writers were inspired by God and guided by the holy spirit are not enough to prove that the entire Bible is word of God because these verses themselves also require their own external evidence to prove their divinity; just like the statement “I AM NOT LYING” require its own external evidence to prove that this very statement itself is not another lie on its own. The only exception to this principle is when we have a verse COMING DIRECTLY from God's mouth. This kind of verse where God would be speaking to us directly using the first person pronouns like " I, ME,MY, WE, US etc" does not require any external evidence to establish its divine origin because God of truth would never allow a deliberate liar to impersonate Him ( Jeremiah 28:1-17, Psalm 101:7) just like a truthful man would never allow his friend-talk less of his enemy-to impersonate him. Therefore, the statements like "All scripture is given by inspiration of God (2nd Timothy 3:16)", “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they moved by the holy spirit (2nd Peter 1:21)” and the likes cannot be used to establish the divine origin for all the books in the Bible because 1. The verses are not coming directly from God's mouth. 2. The verses are not specific enough for anyone to conclude that they refer exclusively to the entire Bible. However, the statements like " All scripture in this Bible is given by inspiration from Me”. These holy men were moved by My spirit to speak what is written inside this Bible” and the likes can be used to establish divine origin of all the books in the Bible because they are sufficient to prove their divine origin. However, such a direct statement which would not only come from God’s mouth but which would also establish the divine origin for all the books in the Bible is nowhere to be found inside the Bible. Even the word “BIBLE” cannot be found within the Bible; talk less of a verse coming directly from God’s mouth which would establish the divine origin for all the books in the Bible. Therefore, Bible still maintains its identity as being the word of God mixed together with the word of men; there are some verses which came directly from God’s mouth and yet there are some verses which came directly from men. Among those verses in the Bible which came directly from God's mouth, there is none that establish divine origin for all the books in the Bible. That is, statements like “This Bible was inspired by Me or these people were moved by My spirit to write down all the books in the Bible" are nowhere to be found inside the Bible. The reason why such a verse is important and necessary to be present in the Bible is that Bible is not a single book like Qur'an but a collection of books written by different authors at different times. Therefore, it is either each of every book in the Bible contains its own evidence for its divine origin or there is a verse uniting all the books in the Bible together as Bible and then establishing divine origin for the whole of such Bible. However, not all the books in the Bible contain such verses coming directly from God’s mouth. Again, there is no a single verse in the Bible uniting all the books in the Bible together as an entity called Bible( I:e the word “Bible” is not found inside the Bible)talk less of a direct verse from God that would establish divine origin for the whole of the Bible. This simply shows that selection and compilation of all the books in the Bible is not something commissioned by God Almighty. Therefore, the reason why Catholic Bible contains more books than the Protestant Bible is now clear to us. But does the Qur’an suffer similar problem? Certainly not! Beside the fact that Qur’an unite all its part together by making reference to its self as an entity called Qur’an (i:e the word “Qur’an” is found inside the Qur’an) in more than seventy times(in places like Qur’an 17:88, 10:37, 38:1, 47:24, 36:2, 50:1, 59:21 etc); there are also many verses coming directly from God’s mouth which establish the divine origin for the whole of the Qur’an. Examples of such verses are as follows: This is the revelation sent down from the Lord of the worlds. If he (Muhammad-pbuh) had forged some of the sayings concerning Us, We surely should have seized him by his right hand. And then We certainly should have cut off his life artery (Qur’an 69:43-46). “O children of Israel! Remember My favor which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your covenant with Me as I fulfill My covenant with you, and fear none but Me. And believe in what I have sent down ( i:e this Qur’an) confirming that which is with you, and be not the first to reject it, nor sell My verses for a small price; and fear Me, and Me alone(Qur’an 2:40-41). We have not sent down the Qur’an unto you(O Muhammad-pbuh) to cause you distress. But only as a reminder to those who fear God. A revelation from Him who created the earth and the high heavens (Qur’an 20:2-3).You can see that pronouns like “Us, We, MY, I, Me” are first person pronouns which can only be referred to God contextually. Other examples of similar verses can be found in Qur’an 15:9, 12:2-3, 21:10.50, 35:31-32, 17:105-106 16:101-103, 6:92 etc. However, such direct verses which would not only come from God’s mouth but which would also establish divine origin for the WHOLE of the Bible cannot be found inside the Bible.

There are many religious world views. But if you think very well,you will discover that Islam still remain as the most reasonable world view out of all various world view. The reason is this: if you are atheist or pantheist, then you must explain how personal human being -who possessed the ability to see, the ability to hear, the ability to think, the ability to know and the ability to talk and speak different languages- originate from impersonal nature that completely lacks all these features. You can only give what you have. If nature is an impersonal close system that does not even "KNOW" about its own existence, then there is no way for personal human being with FULL SELF- AWARENESS to originate from such nature. If you are Jew or Christian, then you must explain how the so-called liar, that must have been misled by Satan, can guide the idols worshippers in ancient mecca to the idea of believing in one God and all biblical prophets including moses and Jesus Christ. Has God ever sent a liar to guide the people who were in error to the right path? Qur'an contains many verses which appear to be coming directly from God's mouth of Israel. For example, Qur'an says : O children of Israel remember MY special favor which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your covenant with ME as I fulfill MY covenant with ,and fear none but ME. And believe in what I have sent down (I:e this Qur'an) confirming that which is with you,and be not the first to reject it (Qur'an 2:40-41). Therefore, if Jews and Christians disbelieve in Qur'an, then they must believe its author to be a great impersonator. They must explain why the God of truth and wisdom should allow a great liar to impersonate Him for good 23 years without any single biblical verse pre-informing us that God is going to be impersonated by a great liar. If Jesus declared that many liars would impersonate him (Matthew 24:4-5) then God should also informed us that one great liar is going to impersonate Him. But there is no a single verse in the Biblethat prophesied about impersonation of God. As you can see Islam is the most reasonable world view that can be adopted without any serious problem. It does not against reason if God allow the previous religious scriptures to be corrupted so that everyone can now turn to the last and final revelation from God.

Which point are you trying to make from all these? That Qur'an is not word of God? Or it is word of God but later lose its authenticity? You cannot have it both ways because Qur'an is the last book that claimed its author to be God. Therefore, it is either the Qur'an is the final word of God and then must be authentic or it is not word of God. I have given you enough evidence in the main post( including my own personal experience which you may find difficult to believe) to prove that Qur'an must be authored by God. If Qur'an was really authored by God, then being the last revelation, it must be protected from corruption you attributed to it. Qur'an 15:9 says: Verily We, it is We that have sent down the reminder and We shall safeguard it from corruption. Concerning the Qur'an19:64 you made mentioned of: God has already us that the Qur'an was revealed to the prophet through Angel Gabriel (Qur'an 2:97). Therefore, is there anything wrong if the word of angels are found within the Qur'an? If you think very well,you will discover that Islam still remain as the most reasonable world view out of all various world view. The reason is this: if you are atheist or pantheist, then you must explain how personal human being -who possessed the ability to see, the ability to hear, the ability to think, the ability to know and the ability to talk and speak different languages- originate from impersonal nature that completely lacked all these features. If you are Jew or Christian, then you must explain how the so-called liar, that must have been misled by Satan, can guide the idols worshippers in ancient mecca to the idea of believing in one God and all biblical prophets including moses and Jesus Christ. You must also explain why the God of truth and wisdom should allow a great liar to impersonate Him for good 23 years without any single biblical verse pre-informing us that God is going to be impersonated by a great liar. As you can see Islam is the most reasonable world view that can be adopted without any serious problem. It does not against reason if God allow the previous religious scriptures to suffer corruption so that everyone can now turn to the last and final revelation from God.

Pls be aware that l am not posting my write up for the sake of argument. If you take your time to read carefully, you will get my point and you will believe that Qur'an is the word of God and then you will accept Islam.

H

According to the Muslims, Qur’an is the last and final revelation from God. They believe that Qur’an was revealed “word for word” by God to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through Angel Gabriel. But how true is this belief hold by the Muslims? Is it not possible for anyone to write a book and then claim that it is a revelation from God? How then are we completely sure that Qur’an was truly authored and revealed by God? This is a logical question that demands a logical answer. If the Qur’an was not authored and revealed by God, then it must have been authored by someone else other than God. This is totally unavoidable since a book cannot be authored by itself. Therefore, we can get to the root of answer to this logical question-“Who is the original author of the Qur’an?”- by analyzing all the possible authors put forward by the atheists and the non Muslims to explain the origin of the book we known as Qur’an.
Many of the non-Muslims believe that Qur’an was deliberately fabricated by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Some of them proclaim that the prophet was secretly taught by one or more human teacher(s). Again, few of them believe that the prophet was a crazy and a pathological liar rather than being a deliberate liar. Yet very few among them went to an extent of saying that the book was inspired by Satan. These are the four possible alternatives that Non-Muslims usually put forward to explain the origin of the Qur’an since they insist that the book was not revealed by Almighty God. In fact, there is no any other possible alternative; all alternatives have been exhausted. Any other alternative you can think of can still be grouped under one of these four alternatives. Hence, if we are able to nullify these four possible alternatives, then all the sincere atheists, who deny the existence of God, and all the truthful believers, who are yet to become Muslims, must have no option other than to believe in Qur’an as the final word of God and then accept Islam. Now, let us analyze these possible alternatives one by one.
Is it possible that Qur’an was deliberately fabricated by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?
It is a well known fact that the prophet can neither read nor write. Qur’an 29:48 says; “Neither did you (O Muhammad) read any book before this Qur’an, nor did you write any book with your right hand. In that case, indeed, the followers of falsehood might have doubted”. Now if this verse is a great lie and the prophet could read and write, then how could he have comfortably called himself illiterate and recite this very verse in the presence of his close relatives and his friends who knew him very much and also believed in him as a true prophet of God? Would a false prophet lie to his close relatives about the matter he knew they are well acquainted with? If the prophet was able to read and write, his immediate family and his close friends must have been well acquainted with this fact. Therefore, it is very unlikely that lying to them about this matter will ever come to his mind. He can lie to the strangers about this matter. But he can never fabricate such a lie in the presence of his close relatives who must have known or heard about his educational history. In fact, nobody, during the life time of the prophet, ever challenged him or disputed with him over this matter. Now, having established that prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was truly an illiterate, then how could he have fabricated many verses and plagiarized the Bible and then come up with such an eloquent book like Holy Qur’an? Before he could come out with any fabricated or plagiarized verses of the Bible or chapters and then reciting them to the hearing of his companions directly from his memory, he must have written down the verses, memorized them and rehearsed the recitation many times in his private room. Yet all these activities would be very difficult, if not impossible, for an illiterate person. We have never heard it in history that an illiterate person authored a book. If it was just a few lines of words, then we might say it is possible for an illiterate person to fabricate and memorize such words. But Qur’an consists of many chapters with large number of long verses. For example, Suratul-Baqara, chapter two of the Qur’an, is made up of two hundred and eighty-six verses. For a person that can neither read nor write to plagiarize, fabricate and memorize such large number of words is impossible. Even if we assumed that it took many days for him to recite the verses little by little to the hearing of his scribes for proper documentation, there is still need for him to memorize the whole chapter later on. This is because there are many reports from the companions that the prophet used to recite this very chapter and many other chapters of Qur’an from memory while leading his followers in five daily prayers and also while observing his night prayer. All these activities are impossible for an illiterate person who has not received any divine favor from God. In fact, God mentioned this very fact as follows: Certainly, We have made this Qur’an easy on your tongue, in order that they give heed (Qur’an 44:58). Besides, during the time of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh), one thousand four hundred and fifty years ago, Bible was yet to be translated into Arabic language. This very fact, coupled with his inability to read and write, completely nullify the assertion that the prophet came up with the Qur'an by plagiarizing the Bible.

Again, is it possible for the prophet to have a secret human teacher who assisted him to fabricate the Qur’an since he could neither read nor write? Even if we assume that the secret human teacher assisted him to fabricate the Qur’an, there would still need for him to read, revise and memorized the fabrications before reciting them to his companions. Again, this is impossible for an illiterate person. Furthermore, how can that teacher be kept in secret for good 23 years and remain hidden from his immediate family and companions who believed in him as a true prophet of God. Is it possible that prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was crazy to the extent that such craziness made him to be a pathological liar against God rather than being a deliberate liar against Him? Before that craziness would become manifest to the extent of causing him to impersonate God and boldly lying against Him, it must have been detected and reported by his immediate family, and there would be no way to believe him as true prophet of God. Even if we assume that his immediate family managed to hide the secret from the public, there is no way for such craziness to escape the notice of the companions of the prophet who always stayed with him and believed in him as a true prophet of God to the extent of dying as a martyr in the battle field. Besides, how can a crazy author come up with such a clear and meaningful book like Qur’an?
Finally, is it possible that Qur’an was inspired by Satan? This is the most illogical and weakest of all the possible alternatives. In fact, a single verse from the Qur’an is enough to destroy this baseless assertion. Qur’an 16:98 declares as follows: When you want to recite the Qur’an, seek God’s protection from Satan the accursed one. How could Satan gives a command that before reading his book you must first of all seek refuge and protection with God against him? Does this make any sense to you? Furthermore, we read in the Qur’an as follows; it is not the devils that have brought it (the Qur’an) down. It would neither suit them nor would they be able to produce it. Verily, they have been removed far from (even a chance of) hearing it. So invoke not with God another god lest you be among those who will receive punishment (Qur’an 26:210-213). If the devils are the author of Qur’an as some people proclaimed, then how would the devils feel comfortable to say that revelation of such a book like Qur’an does not suit and befit them? Again, if Satan is the leader of all the devils, then how would devils feel comfortable to say that anybody who wants to read their book should first of all seek God’s protection against their leader, the accursed one (Qur’an 16:98)? Which of the devil’s aim would be achieved by so strongly condemning and sabotaging their leader?
Since all the four possible alternatives put forward by the non-Muslims to explain the origin of Qur’an are unacceptable to reason, therefore God must exist and Qur’an still maintain its identity as being the word of God, the creator of the heaven and the earth
If God would allow a liar to impersonate Him, then He should have clearly informed us in the Bible just like Jesus informed us about his own impersonation: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, saying ‘ I am the Christ’, and will deceive many(Matthew 24:4-5)”.See how Jesus declared in an unambiguous terms that many liars would impersonate him. This is even enough to prove that we cannot have 100% assurance over all the words attributed to Jesus in the books of the New Testament.BUT YOU CAN NEVER FIND A SINGLE BIBLICAL VERSE THAT SAYS GOD IS GOING TO BE IMPERSONATED BY A GREAT LIAR. If God of truth and wisdom would also allow a liar to impersonate Him, He should also have informed us in a very precise term just like Jesus did. But instead of pre-informing us about His impersonation by a great liar, God only informed us about “a prophet like Moses” which God would put His words in his mouth; I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in My name, I Myself will call him into account. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. And if you say in your heart; How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken? When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is the word the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him (Deuteronomy 18:18-22). Base on these very verses, what then can we say about the Qur’an whose author spoke in the name of the Lord of Israel for good 23 years? For example we read in the Qur’an as follows: “O children of Israel! Remember My special favor which I bestowed upon you, and fulfill your covenant with Me as I fulfill My covenant with you, and fear none but Me. And believe in what I have sent down ( i:e this Qur’an) confirming that which is with you, and be not the first to reject it, nor sell My verses for a small price; and fear Me, and Me alone(Qur’an 2:40-41). Are we going to accept it as the word of the Lord of Israel or reject it as the word of a great impersonator? In the verses of the Bible underlined just above, the only acid test put forward by God to distinguish His actual word from the word of His impersonator is that the word of such impersonator would not come to pass or come true. But unfortunately for the Jews and the Christians, Qur’an contains many words of prophecy which have come to pass and come true. For example, one of the great prophecies is that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) will be victorious over his enemies (Qur’an 58:20-21). Another prophecy is that Islam will be established and continue to spread, and the number of Muslims will continue to grow (Qur’an 24:55, 110:1-2, 48:28). Another prophecy is that Qur’an will be protected from destruction and corruption (Qur’an 15:9). Another prophecy is that Qur’an will be made easy for memorization (Qur’an 54:17, 22, 40). Another prophecy is that people will continue to pay visitation to the house of God in Mecca (Qur’an 22:26-28, 2:125). All these prophecies are known to be true. If they were not true, we would not have a religion known as Islam and we would not have a book known as Qur’an in the world of today. All these prophecies are general ones known to all. However, there are some special miraculous prophecies in the Qur’an that God bestows upon whomsoever He wills among His servants. In fact, it happened that I personally experienced one of these miraculous prophecies; for whosoever care to believe me. I swear by God that this incident happened to me many years before I later discovered that Qur’an specifically made mention of it in a very clear and definite terms. As usual, I was just reciting the Qur’an on that fateful day. When I got to a verse which I could not vividly remember, suddenly, my body began to be shaking. This act of shaking, which lasted for almost a minute, was so strong to the extent that the Qur’an I was holding fell out of my hand. When this act of shaking stopped, my heart began to beat faster and all my skin felt cool. It was after many years, when I was reading the translated Qur’an that I came across the verse that read thus; God has sent down the best statement, a book that its parts resemble each other in goodness and truth, oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it. Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of God. That is the guidance of God. He guides therewith whom He pleases and whomever God sends astray, for him there is no guide (Qur’an 39:23). In fact, I could not believe my two eyes when I saw this verse. I was so happy but at the same time, I wanted to be sure that the word translated as “shiver” in the English translation of Holy Qur’an actually corresponds to the original Arabic word. This Arabic word is “taqsha’irru. So I quickly searched for Arabic-English dictionary and I later discover that the word can be translated as “shake or shiver or tremble or quake”. This is how that very incident strengthens my faith in Holy Qur’an as the word of God. My faith still increases further when I came across another verse which says; We will show them Our signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until it becomes manifest to them that this Qur’an is the truth (Qur’an 41:53). Therefore, according to those verses in the book of Deuteronomy quoted above, Qur’an is the last and final word of God because of its speaking in the name of God and the fulfillment of its general and special miraculous prophecies. But If you think that I am only lying about my own personal experience I narrated above and that the author of Qur’an was only impersonating God, then wait for the day you are going to die and meet the reality of this very verse; And whoever will not listen to my words that the prophet shall speak in My name, I Myself will call him into account (Deuteronomy 18:19). Does this not terrify you? God Almighty is threatening to call you to account if you did not listen to His word; yet you feel relax and you think there is no problem despite the overwhelming evidence put forward above to prove that Qur’an must be authored by God. If it was according to the divine plan that the author of Qur’an would be a great impersonator of God, then Bible should be full of warning and information about this impersonator. But instead of warning us and pre-informing us about the so-called liar that is going to impersonate Him just like Jesus talked about his own impersonators in Matthew 24:4-5 (quoted above), God only demonstrated to us through His dealing with Hananiah (the false prophet who spoke in the name of God in the Bible) that He would never allow such a thing to happen for a long time; Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, ‘Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies. Therefore this what the Lord says: I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the Lord. In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died (Jeremiah 28:15-17). Therefore, if God did not even allow Hananiah to live for just a year, then how could he have allowed the supposed author of Qur’an to impersonate Him for good 23 years? This is indeed a food for thought for the sincere Jews and Christians who truly believe in the existence of God!
In fact, Qur’an was revealed to amend so many things in the lives of human being. If not for the Qur’an, humanity would have been left with having negative and bad picture about God. The doctrine of a merciful, omnipotent and All-knowing God who cursed and condemned his only beloved and innocent son on the cross of Calvary for a particular greater purpose is totally in conflict with what we naturally know about God through our logical reasoning; yet this is one of the fundamental doctrines you must embrace wholeheartedly for you to become a serious and devoted Christian. Therefore, there is need for God to send another prophet to remove this negative and bad picture of God from the minds of the general humanity. This is one of the many reasons why Qur’an was revealed by God to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In the Holy Qur’an, God removed this negative and bad impression from the minds of the people by declaring that, in a miraculous way, Jesus escaped death on the cross (Qur’an 4:157-158). In this way, the "curse of God" associated with any one that is crucified and died on a cross according to the Jewish law (Deuteronomy 21:23, Galatians 3:13) was removed from the head of our beloved and innocent prophet called Jesus Christ. This is exactly in line with the prayer of Jesus to God in the garden of Gethsemane when he asked for this “cup of condemnation” to be taken away from him in THREE consecutive times as stated clearly in Matthew 26:36-44.

The six articles of faith in Islam are as follows:1. Believe in oneness of God. 2. Believe in the angels. 3. Believe in the prophets 4. Believe in the holy books. 5. Believe in the last day. 6. Believe in destiny.Which of these six articles of Islamic faith contradict what we naturally known about God through our logical reasoning? But Cursing (Galatians 3:13,Deuteronomy 21:23) and condemning an innocent and righteous soul on the cross for greater divine purpose is the most important and unique doctrine upon which the edifice of Christianity is erected. Yet this is contradictory to what we naturally known about God. God is naturally known to ALWAYS BLESS THE INNOCENT AND RIGHTEOUS SOUL; NOT TO CURSE AND CONDEMN THE SAME SOUL for any reason whatsoever.

Jesus said:"I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance (Mark 2:17)". If Jesus has actually come to die for the sinners, he would have mentioned it in this verse since he was talking about the purpose of his coming with respect to the sinners. This verse also explain the reason why original Jesus disciples were only commanded to warn the people with this message: "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand(Matthew 10:5-7)". There was no any mentioning of sin atonement through Jesus Crucifixion in their preaching. The reason is this: the repentance preached by Jesus and his original disciples is enough and sufficient to atone for our sins as stated clearly in Isaiah 55:6-7, Ezekiel 33:10-20, 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Acts 3:19, 2:38. There is no need for an innocent human being to be killed and condemned almost naked on the cross of Calvary before God of love and mercy can forgive our sins. In fact condemnation of an innocent soul has been strictly forbidden in the Bible ( Matthew 12:7,Psalm 34:22 ,Exodus 23:7).Besides, telling people that they will no longer be held responsible for all their sins because one innocent man has already been held responsible on their behalf seems to imply that they are free to commit sins in as much as they believe in this atonement sacrifice. However telling people that, unless they repent sincerely, they themselves will be held responsible for their sins would make them to think twice before committing any sin. Therefore, atonement of sin through repentance is far more reasonable and logical than atonement of sin through Jesus crucifixion. This atonement of sin through repentance is also emphasized in many verses of Qur'an (20:82, 7:153,66:. Now you may be confused with this question: If atonement of sins can be achieved through repentance without the need to shed human blood on the cross of Calvary, then why did God command the people of old testament to be shedding the blood of animals for atonement sacrifice?Basically the shedding of animal blood for sacrifice does not violate any divine justice because shedding of animal blood for the purpose of eating their meat or using their skin for leather works has already been made lawful for human being. Therefore there is nothing wrong if God decided to include it as part of scheme of sin atonement for the Israelites. But using Jesus Crucifixion as a sacrifice for sin atonement will encompass two violations of divine justice. One: shedding of innocent human blood for sacrifice is an act of injustice and cruelty. Two: putting an innocent soul under the curse of God on the cross of calvary(Deuteronomy 21:23, Galatian 3:13) for the sins he has never committed is another act of injustice; even greater than the first one. Qur'an 4:157-158 declared that in a miraculous way,Jesus escaped the tragedy of crucifixion and the evidence for this truth can still be found in the Bible; In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed to God asking for the cup of death to be taken away from him in THREE consecutive times(Matthew 26:36-44) and Hebrew 5:7 confirmed that God answered this prayer .

Please can you just show me a single verse from Jesus mouth that He would go into the hell to save the captives therein? Again, show me an old testament verse to prove that Abraham, Moses and all other old testament saints were in the hell fire until they were rescued from it by Jesus. All these stories were formulated without any verse from Jesus to back them up. Qur'an did not say that the righteous were in hell until they were rescued from it. What Qur'an says is this: "There is not one of you but will PASS OVER the hell fire.... Then We shall save the pious ones and left the wrong doers therein on their knees (Qur'an 19:71-72. According to Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith No 532B, a very tiny bridge will be set over the hell fire and all the people will be made to pass through it. The wrong doers will slip into the hell from that bridge and the pious will be delivered safely till they enter the paradise. This will only happen on the day of Judgement.

If Jesus sacrifice is ONLY the sacrifice that can take away our sinful nature because animal sacrifice could only cover the sins for a season, then what is the fate of old testament saints like Abraham, Moses, etc and their sincere followers who lived and died before Jesus crucifixion? Or were they not among the children of Adam that required Jesus sacrifice in order to be "born again"? Again, what is the ACTUAL CONNECTION between the death of Jesus on the cross and becoming a "born again" Christian? If the REPEATED animal sacrifice is enough for the people of old testament to gain salvation, then it is better for God to allow the sacrifice to continue instead of cursing and condemning an innocent human soul on the cross. Of course, goats and rams are yet to become extinct.But if the REPEATED animal sacrifice is not enough for the old testament saints then the only thing that Jesus sacrifice can do for them is to clean their ALREADY COMMITED SINS because their sinful nature cannot be removed by Jesus sacrifice since they have lived and died before Jesus crucifixion.However, God also informed us that repeated animal sacrifice had taken away their ALREADY COMMITED SINS(Leviticus 16:30) Beside there are different ways of achieving divine forgiveness for already committed sins apart from shedding of blood as explained in the original post above. Therefore, again, Jesus sacrifice is unnecessary. Hence if Jesus sacrifice has no any contribution whatsoever in the salvation of old testament saints who happened to be among the children of the first Adam, then Jesus sacrifice is also not necessary for the salvation of the present children of the same Adam. Therefore, there is no need for Jesus to die as an accursed person (Galatians 3:13) on the cross . Furthermore as explained in the latter part of original post above, Hebrew 9:22 which assert that the forgiveness of sins can ONLY be obtained by shedding of blood is TOTALLY WRONG
