TenQ:
Is this because you want me to believe that Allah created Adam with a command while EVERY evidence in the Qur'an go to the contrary. The only way out for this is to conclude that it is FALSEHOOD that Allah created Adam using the Mud and it is also a FABRICATION that Allah claimed to have created Adam with his two Hands.

Is it false that Allah created Adam with mud?
Is it false that Allah created Adam with his hands?
Is it false that Allah breathe his spirit into Adam?

If these are false, then we can agree that Allah created Adam by a command of "BE" and Adam was!
[/i]
So I see you accept some verses of the Quran and reject others. Why? Just as the Pharisees and Sadducees have selective acceptance of scripture?

Is Verily, the likeness of ‘Isa (Jesus) before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: ‘Be!’ — and he was.[Al ‘Imran 3:59 a part of the Quran or not?

See how it answers your silly questions?
Does it affirm the honor of Allah creating Adam with his own 'hands' from dust?

Does it Affirm breathing into Adam, Adam's soul/spirit?

Does it affirm the saying [b][size=14pt]Be[/size][
/b] to Adam?

Do you not see the nonsense of your stance?

After shaping Adam, Allah commanded him to Be, and he became a living being. This illustrates that the process of molding Adam was part of Allah's creative act, but it was His powerful word, Kun (كن), that granted life and existence.

The command Be emphasizes that all creation relies entirely on Allah’s will, surpassing any physical processes or materials involved.

The significance of Be indicates that, despite the Molding Process, it is Allah's Divine Power through the command "Be" that brings forth life, existence, and animation. The molding from dust served as a precursor, but it was His word that granted life.

The physical form made from dust or clay highlights humility, while the command Be represents the honor Allah conferred upon Adam by breathing spirit into him: "And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration." (Quran 15:29)

The creation of Adam exemplifies Allah's absolute control over all things. He selects the means (dust/clay) and the method (the command Be, showcasing His creative power to bring life from non-living materials.

All you have successfully succeeded in doing is to assert that Allah did not create Adam by any command.

All I ask is WHY?
Why according to Islam is Jesus the ONLY one who has not died and is with Allah according to your prophet?
Please show proof of this statement of yours.

TenQ:
Because Isaac the son of Abraham to be sacrificed was also a sinner and thus is not qualified to be a RANSOM for Abraham AND it was a TEST of Love and devotion of Abraham to God.
Do good to explain what the sins of Abraham's son were or withdraw your unfounded assertion.

TenQ:
Isa 53:10:
"Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand."


Jesus become cursed because He carried the curse of sin of the world upon Himself. Here what prophet Isaiah said about Jesus.
Isaiah 53:5-6
"But he (the Messiah) was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and YHWH has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
Isa 53:10 is interpreted differently by Jews to refer to a metaphor regarding Israel.

Contradicting laws Jesus in your book says he came to fulfil and uphold? No word of God will go unfulfilled.
Deuteronomy 21:22-23 in the Bible, which states:

If a man has committed a sin deserving of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, his body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely bury him that day, so that you do not defile the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance; for he who is hanged is accursed of God

So your God accursed himself going by you equating Jesus to God? Interesting contradictory dynsmics.

Interesting too that your god bruises his beloved and is too powerless to forgive man without blood sacrifice similar to traditional or pagan worship.

Why is it that Christians and Jews will be your own ransom as Muslims from hellfire?

TenQ:
In Christianity, it is NOT unique that Jesus alone left this world without dying. Jesus died; isn't it. Then resurrected; isn't it? Enoch and Elijah never even died.
As I have said, Enoch doesn't help your case because Jesus is NOT the only one in Christianity that wouldn't die.
1. Enoch is one who didn't see death
2. Elijah is one Elijah is another who didn't taste death
3. All Believers in Christ at His second coming

The question had been:

My Question was strictly about ISLAMIC teachings:
4. Why is it according to your prophet that Jesus is still alive with Allah since 2000 years ago?


Can we take it that NO ANSWER exist in Islam for the question



Is the Qur'an an eternal word of God when it contains stories of Mohammed and Zainab that happened in the 6th century etc?



Please show me from the Arabic the word My Created Soul
Why are you correcting the words of Allah?
Don't you think Allah knows the difference between soul and spirit?



So, your revered scholar Ibn Kathir concurs that Allah did not create many from any command. I have attached Ibn kathir's interpretation and it didn't even have the RUH not to speak of NAFS (soul). Attached.


Are the power and knowledge of Allah created is the question ! I am not comparing them with man's own




So again, I ask you the questions you dodged.

1. Are angels spirits?
2. Is the spirit a being OR Is the spirit an attribute?

3. Prove from the Qur'an that the spirit is created!
Nice attempt again but it seems you skipped a lot of Quran studies. Oh I forget there wasn't any save the sensational clip misinterpretation of verses by you and your islamophobe apologetics.

Indeed Ibn Kathir relies on verses of the Quran to adequately interpret others. See attached.

Then you sure never cane across Surah Araaf verse 11.

The creation of Adam alaihis salam as depicted in Surah Al-A'raf and other verses of the Quran offers a deep insight into the connection between the physical and the spiritual realms. In Surah Al-A'raf 7:11, Allah describes a step-by-step process: first, the essence of Adam is formed, then his physical body is shaped, and finally, the divine command is given for the angels to bow down to him. This progression highlights the significance of both aspects in redefining humanity's place in the universe.

Additionally, Surah Al-Hijr (15:29) and Surah Sad (38:72) confirm that the spirit, or ruh was breathed into Adam after his physical form was completed. This act represents the remarkable nature of human beings, distinguishing them from all other creations.

What is the essence of mankind other than the soul/spirit?

Deliberately misinterpreting again for your skewed objective. When Allah was telling the angels was he necesarily seeking their opinion or permission? Was he stating in words what he was doing?

Why then is the verse stating Jesus being like Adam, emphasises on the command/word to be?

I mention Idris who was raised to a high station agreed upon as paradise.

You mention uniqueness repeatedly in questionable fashion. Do Muslims not consider all the things Allah does as his majestic signs?

Clear question is

1. Abraham was to sacrifice his child to God in worship but this was stopped why then will God accept this later of mankind by his 'acclaimed son" may all not be smitten by this?

2. If the "son of God" is as God why then need he be cursed to be cursed and crucified before being able to go to hell to salvage the condemned and be a means of others going to heaven? If he is all powerful as God why can't this just be done or commanded?

The way God exhibits his knowledge is far different from man.

His power to control the universe is beyond man's or is man able to make the sun rise from the west, north or south instead of the east? Has man gone to the sun and returned?

Mankind is nothing like God though he had granted us some abilities similar but different to his.

TenQ:
Gen 5:21-24:
"And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."


Heb 11:5:
"By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God."


Answering your question: According to the two scriptures above, Enoch did not taste death but he disappeared from the earth because God took him.

As I have said, Enoch doesn't help your case because Jesus is NOT the only one in Christianity that wouldn't die.
1. Enoch is one who didn't see death
2. Elijah is one Elijah is another who didn't taste death
3. All Believers in Christ at His second coming

The question had been:
My Question was strictly about ISLAMIC teachings:
4. Why is it according to your prophet that Jesus is still alive with Allah since 2000 years ago?


Do you have any evidence from from either Allah or Mohammed that there is another person who did not die?
Great attempt.

He was taken by God. Taken where or to where?

God translated him to what? Another language or entity?

If he was not to taste death then where is he or was he taken to alive.

Note that he pleased God so much in your text that he didn't taste death. Didn't Jesus please God enough not to taste death at all?
You will sing your usual illogic that he was to die for restoration of mankind please how?

Abraham's son too was soared death in sacrifice how then your almighty co-equal to God Jesus?

Is non dying anything special? Those that will be alive by Judgement day will die first before Judgement according to your Bible. Stop please. Kai!
TenQ:
Is the Word of Allah created?



There is nowhere in Islam where the spirit was created.

Allah created Man with mud Qur'an 38:71-72
Allah created Jinn from fire Qur'an 55:15
Allah created Angels from light Sahih Muslim 2996
Tell me,
How did Allah create the spirit and with what material?




Let me enlighten you with the word of Allah

Qur'an 38:72
So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall to him prostrating.


Qur'an 15:29
So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall to him prostrating.


Qur'an 15:29
So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall to him prostrating.


Qur'an 32:9
Then He proportioned him and breathed into him of His spirit, and He made for you hearing, and vision, and hearts; little are you grateful.


When Allah says رُّوحِي (ruhi): My spirit
Or
When Allah says رُوحَنَا (roohana): Our spirit
Is he not speaking of his attributes?



What if Allah had said:
My knowledge: would it mean Allah's knowledge is created?
My power: would it mean Allah's power is created?
My will: would it mean that Allah's will is created?
What then happens whenever Allah says My Spirit ?
It's just that your Muslim scholars must rewrite the Qur'an to suit their satanic agenda of misleading Muslims.


Of course, if Mohammed doesn't know what the spirit is, how can any Muslim in the world know what the spirit it?

Qur'an 17:85
And they ask you about the spirit. Say, "The spirit is of the command of my Lord, and you have not been given of knowledge except a little."




So again, I ask you the questions you dodged.

1. Are angels spirits?
2. Is the spirit a being OR Is the spirit an attribute?

3. Prove from the Qur'an that the spirit is created!
Again you cannot understand.

There is the eternal word of God and the word of God created as spirit by God in his creation.

Will you say Sahih international's translation of the meaning of the Quran is wrong in Chapter 38 verse 72?

Sahih International
So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration.

Please explain by your non speaking arabic expertise why it is wrong compared to the one you shared!

Ibn-Kathir
71. (Remember) when your Lord said to the angels: “Truly, I am going to create man from clay.”

72. “So, when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him.

Run and criticise this as how many hundred years after he makes explanation.

Ibn Kathir's Tafsir is an important contribution to Islamic scholarship, recognized for its careful methodology and trustworthiness. It focuses on interpreting the Qur'an using the Qur'an itself, drawing on authentic Hadith and insights from the companions of the Prophet. The perspectives of the Tabaeen further enrich the discussion, and Kathir's dedication to historical context helps prevent speculative interpretations. His orthodox approach is in straightforward language and ensures it is accessible to a broad audience.

I see you mention knowledge and power of God. Please say where man's knowledge and power is compared to God's.

Is the Word of Allah not is Attribute? So, did Allah create his word just as Allah created his power and as he created his knowledge?

"A WORD" from Allah is the the identity of Jesus Messiah.

The name of this WORD is Jesus, the Messiah, son of Mary!

This is what Allah says. But I guess you are smarter to attempt reinterpretation of clear verses.
Allah's attributes are eternal and uncreated, while the Word of Allah, when referring to Isa (Jesus), is a creation of Allah. Jesus being referred to as the Word of Allah highlights his miraculous birth and the power of Allah's command in creating him without a father.

Adam was NOT created by a command of Allah

I don't know who else according to Islam Allah create with his two hands. You tell me who else Allah created by his hands. I am not a Muslim.



How did Allah create Eve in the Qur'an: please educate me? Was it also by command?

But neither Adam nor Jesus was created by the command "BE"!
According to Allah,
1. Adam was created by Allah molding Adam with mud!
2. Jesus was created by Jibril blowing into Mary's vulva!


As you can see, Neither of Adam nor Jesus were created by any command
As you surely cannot disappoint. You didn't review the verse mentioned.

Quran 3:59
Indeed, the example of Jesus in the sight of Allah is like that of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be!” And he was!


Eve's creation, along with all human life, is a direct reflection of Allah's command and will. The creation of Eve serves to complement Adam, symbolizing harmony and divine order. The phrase "Kun Fayakoon" exemplifies Allah's limitless power to bring anything into existence that He desires, surpassing human comprehension of such processes.

What is Be? Remember the initial honour before the command to be.

O mankind! Fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. Quran 4:1
Christianity EtcRe: Kaaba Of The Bedouin Tribes by Explore2xmore: 11:46am On Jan 18, 2025
TenQ:
But I just showed you with evidence that Allah did not create anything by a command. He either made clay or breathe into someone's vulva.

Is Quran 38:75 an error?

Quran 38:75
"[Allah] said, 'O Iblis, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My two hands? Were you arrogant, or were you among the exalted?'"


Did Allah say he created Adam with his speech? Allah clearly stated that he used his TWO hands: didn't he?
Again in your hurry you fail to understand. Creating with hands is quite an additional honour in addition to the command to be.
Isn't it clearly stated that Jesus is like Adam created by the word/command Kun to be?

Quran 3:59.

Isn't there comparitively specific honor to Adam being created by Allah's hands though unlike mankind's.

Who else did Allah create with his hands.

a command from Allah but by BREATHING his spirit into Mary. Is breathing the same as speaking?

3. Jibril came to GIVE Jesus to Mary
Quran 19:17-19
"So she took a veil (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our spirit, and he appeared to her as a perfect man. She said, 'Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing Allah.' He said, 'I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you a pure boy.'"

Here Jibril and not Allah came down to give Mary a boy. Except you want t[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]o concede that Jibril is one of the creators of life in Islam.

4. This is Why your prophet called Jesus by the TITLE :
Kalimatullah : "The Word of Allah."
Quran 4:171
"The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a spirit from Him."


Musnad Ahmad, Hadith 24690
"Indeed, Jesus is the Word of Allah which He cast to Mary, and a Spirit from Him."



1. Jesus having no father doesn't prove any Miracle because there was no EVIDENCE to anyone. In fact, Only Mary knows about this Miracle and God had to convince Joseph not to leave his wife.
2. Why do you think the Children of Israel did not exercise the law of Moses on Mary when she got pregnant outside wedlock and stone her to death?




Think now!
How can High station mean Paradise!?
High station simply means a place of importance or honour amongst the prophets or an exalted position.

Except you wish to concede that Allah is so poor in language that he cannot communicate clearly to his people without us fighting over what he means




Allah couldn't explain a verse and Mohammed couldn't and then came Ibn Kathir almost 668 years after, armed with the elusive knowledge. Shouldn't you be ashamed?

How confused Islamic scholars are:
1. Quran 19:57 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
And We raised him to a high station — he is alive in the fourth or sixth or seventh heaven or he is in Paradise into which he was admitted after he was made to experience death and brought back to life and he has not exited therefrom.


This one said Idris actually died but brought back to life


2. Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi Qur'an 19:57
and We had raised him to a high position.
The plain meaning is that God had favoured Idris with a high rank, but according to the Israelite traditions, God took up Idris ( Enoch ) to heavens. The Bible says: " ...
and he was not; for God took him ", but the Talmud has a long story to tell, which ends with the words: " Enoch ascended to heaven in a whirlwind, with chariot and horses of fire. "


This one gave the plain interpretation and correct but added the tradition of the Jews to it

3. Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘AbbâsQuran 19: 57
( And We raised him to high station ) in Paradise.

This one just focused on Idris state in paradise, avoiding the argument of whether he died or not


4. Ala-Maududi Qur'an 19:57
and We exalted him to a lofty position.
The plain meaning is that God had favored Idris with a high rank, but according to the Israelite traditions, God took up Idris (Enoch) to heavens. The Bible says: And he was not; for God took him, but the Talmud has a long story to tell, which ends with the words: Enoch ascended to heaven in a whirlwind, with chariot and horses of fire.



5. Here is what one of your islamic scholars said
...There is a difference of opinion as to who Prophet Idris (peace be upon him) was. Some commentators opine that he was a Prophet from among the Israelites, but the majority of them are inclined to the view that he was a Prophet before Noah (peace be upon him). There is no authentic tradition which may help determine his identity.

So, you see the confused mess you found yourself in!?
Without the Bible, you can't even explain your Qur'an even though Allah claimed to have given you DETAILS

Quran 12:111
"It is not a fabricated statement, but a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of all things."
You quote Quran 4:171 and fail to understand it's significance
Saying Jesus is a word is highlighting that he as other things Allah created is by his command, word to be and he is.

Being a spirit from God isn t unusual unless you can show that other brings apart from God create spirits.

Likening Idris to Enoch is no big deal as he can ad well be likened to Elijah. Most definitely these were righteous beings raised to high status.

What status is above paradise?

You are yet to tell me where Enoch is and I have been looking out for this response.
Christianity EtcRe: Kaaba Of The Bedouin Tribes by Explore2xmore: 11:08am On Jan 18, 2025
TenQ:
No sir. The Qur'an did not say "The Word from Allah" and so, it doesn't refer to Allah's ability to create anything.
1. Correction please: It is not the word FROM Allah but HIS WORD (Allah's word) cast down to Mary.

كَلِمَتُهُ (Wa kalimatuhu) – "And His Word"
(Alqāhā ilā Maryama) – "Which He cast to Mary"
That is, Jesus Himself is The Word

2. Allah did not create everything by His word.
No, Allah Did NOT Allah not create ANYTHING by his command or his word?

With Jesus, Jibril or Allah BREATH of his spirit into Mary.
Qur'an 66:12
"And Mary, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her vulva, so We breathed into her from Our spirit, and she believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient."

Whose spirit was blown into Mary?
Note that this spirit is SINGULAR and not Plural!

Similarly,
Qur'an 21:91
"And [mention] the one who guarded her vulva, so We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds."

So, clearly, Jesus wasn't created by a command from Allah but by BREATHING his spirit into Mary. Is breathing the same as speaking?
Why are you contradicting yourself or trying to be confused.

Did you not give reference to: Behold! The angels said, 'O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of aWord from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah].'

Can you tell please what or who the word from Allah is in this verse?

The concept of Allah's command his word,shows his absolute authority and power over all things. These are his creation .
In Surah Yasin Allah says when ever he intends to do a thing he only says to it be and it is. Quran 36:82. This shows all Allah wills is realised by his word. His intention is achieved by his word.

Does your Bible not tell you similar? As an example God says let there be light are there was/is.

Quran 2:117 also states and shows that when Allah intends to create anything he only says to it be and it is. Isn't this a showing of how all Allah creates is by his word?
Christianity EtcRe: Kaaba Of The Bedouin Tribes by Explore2xmore: 5:25am On Jan 18, 2025
TenQ:
In Christianity, there is nothing extraordinarily uniquely peculiar with a person not passing through death BECAUSE Jesus is NOT the only one (unlike in Islam) that would leave this world without death.

Three key examples
1. Enoch:
Gen 5:21-24:
"And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."


2. Elijah:
2 Kings 2:11:
"As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind." Elijah was taken up to heaven without experiencing death.



3. All Believers in Christ at His second coming:
1Ths 4:16-17:
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

1 Corinthians 15:51-52:
"Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all die, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet."


So, you see that in Christianity, JESUS is NOT the only person who would leave the earth without passing through death. As Christians, we are both material and immaterial beings consisting as Body, Soul and Spirit and we can be transformed directly without having to pass through death.

So, this kind of transformation in Christianity is NOT unique to Jesus unlike in Islam.







My Question again:
4. Why is it according to your prophet that Jesus alone is still alive with Allah since 2000 years ago?

Or who else with evidence in the Qur'an or Hadith is an exception?

BUT,
If you think Idris is Enoch, provide evidence from Allah or Mohammed! All I need is supporting EVIDENCE from the Qur'an of Allah or the Hadiths of your prophet. Didn't Allah tell you things about Idris?

Clearly you need the Bible to even make any meaning or sense out of the Qur'an of Allah!
SMH!
It is true that with regards to Jesus the reference, ‘a Word from Allah’ is given, it is in accordance with Allah s ability to create which encompasses the entirety of beings. Did Allah not create everything else by his command, his word?

The phrase Word of Allah is interpreted as his order or wish when uttered as ‘Kun’ (Be).

Jesus’s Creation Depicts the Might of Allah:

The very act of creating Jesus without a human father demonstrates the ability of Allah to go beyond the boundaries which the natural world sets.


Allah has full commandeering power over the creation of the universe. To the same degree that Jesus was created, so too does the creative force that brought him into being maintain the universe.

And mention Idris in the Book. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet. And We raised him to a high station.Quran 19:56-57.

What is the high station?

Ibn Kathir describes this as a physical ascension to paradise.

First admit that you don't have an answer in Islam for the question.
My Question was strictly about ISLAM:
4. Why is it according to your prophet that Jesus is still alive with Allah since 2000 years ago?


After this, ask me nicely for explanation from us Christians and I will gladly oblige you. For now, the question is about ISLAMIC understanding of WHY Jesus is the ONLY person alive with Allah without passing through death. In case you don't understand, in the bible, such is not unique to Jesus alone
BUT
This fact that someone went to Allah without passing through death in ISLAMIC doctrine is UNIQUE only to Jesus. WHY?

Again
My Question was strictly about ISLAM:
4. Why is it according to your prophet that Jesus is still alive with Allah since 2000 years ago?
It is in accordance with Allah's wisdom, design, saving his prophet. Besides you claim Jesus is the only one with Allah and I mention Idris likened to Enoch in your Bible. Clear dispelling of Jesus being the only one as there's one even longer.

Tell me where Enoch is!

Is the Qur'an not in Arabic?
If then, we should have Idris in the Arabic bible instead of "أخنوخ" (Akhnukh).
Note that Moses wrote Enoch's name in Hebrew as חֲנוֹךְ (Ḥănōḵ). .
Honestly , we wonder how Islam mixed up the simple identities with no single explanation to clarify WHY or WHEN.

It is the same reason no Muslim can tell us from the Qur'an who Israel the father of the Jews is: even though the Children of Israel is mentioned several times.

This is why we cringe when you say Jesus is ISA or Allah is the name of the God of Jews and Christians. This difference explain why the Islamic ISA was neither crucified nor killed.

Other names exist in Islam like Jālūṭ for Goliath, Dhul-Kifl for Ezekiel Or Ṭālūt for Saul . We don't know where Mohammed got these names from.



But Enoch is not IDRIS except you can show me on the contrary either from the Qur'an or from the Hadiths of your prophet Mohammad.
My Question was strictly about ISLAM:
4. Why is it according to your prophet that Jesus is still alive with Allah since 2000 years ago?


You need to convince me that you know someone else in Islam who is living bodily with Allah and never dead.

Let's just say that you Muslims don't know why Isa or Jesus is the only human who is with Allah above the seventh heaven with Allah physically over 2000 years ago not how he even got there in the first place.

I am sure that you know that the knowledge of the whereabout of Jesus came from the Christians and not Mohammed who came 700 years after.

Acts 1:9-11:
"And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven."

Acts 2:32-33:
"This Jesus has God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear."


None of my questions have any theological reason in Islam. The reason is that Islam copied much of it from the Christians without knowing why.

Speaking about Idris, he doesn't exist in the bible either in the old testament nor new testament. In the Qur'an, Allah never once described who Idris was and I have checked the hadiths for anything about him from Mohammed and there is not one description of such a person as Idris. It was much later in the 8th or 9th century that your scholars began to connect him with Enoch in the bible. Unfortunately, I doubt any connection between Idris and Enoch because Enoch in the Arabic bible is called "أخنوخ" (Akhnukh).

Do you know the problem of Islam?
It is thinking that the Qur'an is self sufficient and neglecting the command of Allah to ask questions.


Qur'an 6:94
"So if you are in doubt about that which We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you"


Instead, your Islamic scholars became experts in theology and led every Muslim astray. They had to convince you that against the Qur'an, you shouldn't follow the earlier revealed scriptures.


I think you should ask yourself why Jesus is so special above any human inexistence.
You should also ask why the theology of Jesus is vastly different from that of Mohammed.

If you truely know Jesus and you believe in Him, you will leave Mohammed guaranteed!
Indeed Idris cannot exist in the Bible just as Isa in that name doesn't exist in the Bible.

Hebrew 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

Where was Enoch taken to and where is he now?

Do you know any one with the name Akhnukh (أخنوخ) in Islam?

My Question was: According to Islam,
4. Why is it according to your prophet that Jesus is still alive with Allah since 2000 years ago?
Indeed everyone is appointed a birth date as well as dearh date. Jesus is alive as Allah saved him from those who intended to murder or execute him in rebellion as they did to some others.

Isa pbuh's preservation in the heavens is a profound aspect of Allah’s divine wisdom and plan. This phenomenon serves as a compelling testimony to His omnipotence, showcasing how divine intervention shapes the course of human history. It fulfills eschatological prophecies, marking significant events leading up to the Day of Judgment. Isa’s eventual return is especially significant, as it will reaffirm the truth of Allah’s message, dispelling falsehood and misguidance prevalent in society. In this way, his return not only reinforces faith but also prepares humanity for accountability on the Day of Judgment, highlighting the importance of divine guidance in our lives.

Idris share a similarities with Enoch.

NO: I did NOT write according to the Christian trinity but I wrote according to the trinity of Jesus you chose to ignore in the Quran. Except your contention is that Jesus is not Ruhullah, Kalimatullah and Rasulullah at the same time.
By Definition:
Trinity is simply ONE Person who co-exist in three distinct IDENTITIES.
GOD as ONE Person Exist as The Father, The Spirit and The Word (that became Human):
e.g. The Father is GOD, The Holy Spirit is GOD and the Word is GOD.
MAN as One Person Exist as Body, Soul and Spirit because man was created in the image of God as a Trinity.
e.g. The Body is YOU, the Soul is YOU and the Spirit is YOU

My Question was: According to Islam,
1. Why is Jesus the only One who is a Trinity of the Word of Allah, the Spirit from Allah and a Messenger of Allah?
In all you have written can you clearly point me to a definition of trinity in the Quran or Islam?

Why will you define trinity by what it is not? You are having trouble being convincing with your own definition?

Do you think that ruhullah is like ruhutenq that exist together? The ruh is a creation of Allah and not part of Allah.

This ruh was put in Adam and is present in all humans.

Kalimatullah,which translates to Word of Allah,refers to the divine command that brought Jesus into existence in Mary's womb. This event underscores the creative power of Allah's will and emphasizes His omnipotence within Islamic theology. While Isa is honored as a prophet, his miraculous birth does not imply divinity. Rather, it showcases Allah's supreme authority and power, illustrating the nature of God and His prophets.

Never would the Messiah disdain to be a servant of Allah."
(Quran 4:172)

And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], Indeed, I have come to you with a sign from your Lord... and I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead – by permission of Allah.

Both Muhammad and quran are ONLY warner to the people of Makkah. Quran is not a book for mankind! You have to stop lying


And thus we have revealed to you an Arabic Quran, so that you may warn the mother of the cities (Makkah) and those around her." (42:7)
The Qur'an is a universal message meant for all of humanity and even the jinn, a point emphasized through various verses. Surah Al-Anbiya (21:107) states that the Prophet Muhammad pbuh was sent as a mercy to "the worlds," highlighting the global nature of his mission. Likewise, Surah Saba (34:28) affirms that the Qur'an brings good news and warnings directed at all of mankind, crossing cultural boundaries.

This theme is further supported by Surah Al-Baqarah (2:185), which describes the Qur'an as guidance for the people, and Surah Al-Zumar (39:41), which stresses the importance of individual responsibility in responding to its teachings. The Prophet Muhammad is addressed as "O mankind" in Surah Al-A'raf (7:158), emphasizing his universal role.

Moreover, Surah Al-Takwir (81:27-28) presents the Qur'an as a reminder for all worlds, while Surah Al-Hijr (15:9) reassures us of Allah's protection over it, ensuring its relevance for future generations. In summary, the Qur'an’s universality underscores its timeless nature, providing mercy, guidance, and truth to all who seek it.

Specifically in regard to the verse you refer to.
This verse Quran 42:7 is showcasing the Quran's universal message that goes beyond geographical and temporal limits. It calls us to pay attention to the warnings about the Day of Gathering, stressing our ultimate responsibility to a higher power. The mention of "the Mother of Cities" not only highlights its immediate significance but also demonstrates how its teachings apply to all of humanity.

The designation of Mecca as the "Mother of Cities" in Quran 42:7 encapsulates its unparalleled significance within Islam. First and foremost, Mecca is the site of the Ka'bah, the first house of worship dedicated to Allah, established by Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismail, anchoring its spiritual centrality. Mind that it's origin stresses as far back to Adam.
Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Makkah – blessed and a guidance for the worlds."
(Quran 3:96)
Historically, it has served as a pivotal hub for monotheistic faith, tracing back to the roots of Ibrahim, thereby influencing regions far beyond its bounds. Geographically, Mecca's prominence as a trade center in pre-Islamic Arabia further emphasizes its role in shaping culture and faith. The term "mother" signifies not just origin but also nurturing; Mecca is the cradle of divine guidance. Ultimately, while it embodies a local significance, Mecca's message transcends geographical confines, establishing it as the spiritual and social axis for all humanity, uniting believers around a shared faith and purpose.

2. Why according to your prophet that Jesus and Mary are the only humans that Satan did not touch at birth?
3. Why is it that Jesus is the only co-Creator of Life in the universe aside Allah. If you no anyone else tell me.
4. Why is it according to your prophet that Jesus is still alive with Allah since 2000 years ago?

1. Is what you wrote in accordance with the Christian trinity? I know you will refuse to define your trinity.

2. Can this be singularly relied on when John the Baptist in Christianity is regarded as pure? How did he remain pure despite Satan touching him at birth?

3. Is Jesus a co-creator of all life? What he is said to create is solely by him or leave of Allah to serve as a sign regarding the truth of who sent him?

4. Is this impossible for Allah to do?

5. Who says it wasn't a necessary miracle? Is this not another sign that the rebelling Israelites also reject/refute?

Consider the number of times the temple of Jehovah was taken over idolatry.
idol worship overtook the temple through a combination of leadership failures, societal pressures from surrounding nations, and a gradual erosion of faithfulness among God’s people.

Is it so difficult to appreciate that at some point idolatry overshadowed monotheist worship in the Kaaba before prophet Muhammad pbuh corrected this?

The verse below refutes most of your claims. Claiming "gender-neutrality" as posited, would actually suggests that same-sex marriage is a thing in Islam. Most mainstream Muslims would consider this heretical.

As for the point about "abolition of slavery in Islam", that is ahistorical at best. Saudi Arabia reluctantly ended slavery in the early 1960's forced by the British. Slavery is still extant in parts of the Muslim world. And please, spare me the the "society not religion" trope.

It's hard to see this response as anything more than an attempt to massage or whitewash the true meaning and intent contained within the Islamic scriptures. There is no true sense of classic vs. contemporary positions in Islam. Certainly not in it's mainstream beliefs and outworking.

Understand the desire to present the religion in the best light possible. I find most presentations of Islam are based on unfounded assertions and trumped up claims. The Koran, hadiths and narratives often contradict, with great effort spent to explain the differences.

Would you say the verse refers exclusively to males?

In classical Arabic, the masculine plural is used to refer to groups that may include men and women. This is a common grammatical feature in the language and does not mean gender identification unless this is clarified by context.


Saudi Arabia is the custodian of the two holy mosques in Makkah and Madinah, Saudi Arabia holds a vital position in supporting Hajj and Umrah while also safeguarding Islamic heritage. Nonetheless, the country's socio-political choices, modernization initiatives, and interpretations of Islamic law are shaped by its distinct historical and cultural background, rather than serving as a definitive representation of Islam.

There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab over an Arab, nor of a white person over a black person, nor of a black person over a white person, except by taqwa (piety)." (Musnad Ahmad, Hadith 23489)

Do a lot better than Wikipedia.

Islam is real and practical. At the time of Prophet Muhammad pbuh an effective means of correcting social ills is seen. It wasn't draconian. Consider the stages to forbidding consumption of alcohol as an example.

The term sex slave implies coercion and abuse, which is categorically forbidden in Islam. Captives who made up those whom the right hand posses often became integrated into families, were treated with kindness, and were eventually freed.

Those whom your right hands possess in Islam was a regulated system meant to provide rights and dignity to captives, not to exploit them. It was a significant step in reforming pre-Islamic practices and ultimately led to the abolition of slavery within Islamic societies.

Ma Malakat Aimanukum should be understood within its linguistic context as encompassing various forms of relationships and possessions rather than being narrowly defined as referring only to female slaves. It
is gender-neutral and can refer to both male and female captives.

It can be understood as referring to individuals who are under one’s rightful possession or care. While classical interpretations have leaned towards slavery, contemporary scholars argue that this should be viewed through a lens of marital contracts rather than ownership in the traditional sense.

Lisan-ul-Arab by Ibn-Manzoor Vol. 13 also details this phrase to mean to marry.

Please learn more about the Misyar you brought up.

This was tied to the socio-economic structure of slavery in historical societies.

Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:5-7) and Surah Al-Ma’arij (70:29-31) highlight that sexual relations are only allowed within the framework of a permanent marriage or with those whom your right hands possess. Those whom the right hand posses refer to concubines in that historical context. Temporary arrangements such as Mut'ah are not included in this allowance.

Relations with those referred to as whom the right hand posses were not time-bound. The relationship was not temporary like Mut'ah but part of the larger context of slavery, with provisions for eventual emancipation.

Al-Lat, Al-‘Uzza, and Manat

Indeed most of the Quraish tribe before prophet Muhammad were polytheists, worshiping multiple idols and associating partners with Allah, some individuals among them held different beliefs or practices.

There were notable exceptions, such as the Hanifs and those influenced by Christianity or Judaism.
