1 In 23 Years, Muslims Went from Being Powerless to Control the World. When Islam started in Mecca, it was the prophet Mohammed by himself. A one man religion. He was exposed to punishments and oppression. The people who first entered Islam were weak and also were oppressed and tortured by the pagans of Mecca (their relatives). Forward 23 years later to see the transformation of these uneducated powerless individuals to the most powerful ones and to control the world. The Arabs at the time of the prophet peace be upon him (6th century) were tribes and clans fighting each other. The Romans and the Persians were vast powerful empires. Forward 23 years later to see how some powerless individuals were able climb the mountain of world power to take over the Persian empire and the Roman empire and introduce new world order. Not only did this transformation achieve miraculousness in its happenings but it’s also marvelous in its timing and its duration. 2. Have You Been to a Masjid? If you have been to a Masjid (mosque), you would know what the word equality means. You would see Americans with Asians with Arabs with Hispanic all in one place; all are brothers who will protect each other and truly love each other. You would see all nations and colors in one place bowing down for the creator. Hundreds of years and millions of dollars would never gather these people together and make them brothers but Islam did. Millions of muslims all over the world pray together in mikkah despite difference in tribe, language and there country? Don’t believe me; visit any Masjid near you and there is probably one near you. 3.Scientific Proof in the Quran In the Holy Quran, God speaks about the stages of man’s embryonic development: “We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance)…” (Quran 23:12-14)Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s renowned geologists. He is Professor of Geology and the Chairman of the Department of Geology at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He said: “Thinking where Muhammad came from . . . I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years, with very complicated and advanced technological methods, that this is the case.”[2]Also he said: “Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin.” About pain Pain Receptors For a long time it was thought that the sense of feeling and pain was dependent on the brain. However it has been discovered that there are pain receptors present in the skin[14]. Without these pain receptors, a person would not be able to feel pain. Consider the following verse on pain: “We shall send those who reject Our revelations to the (Hell) Fire. When their skins have been burned away, We shall replace them with new ones so that they may continue to feel the pain: God is Almighty, All-Wise.” (Quran 4:56) And Allah says in the holy quran “We shall show them Our signs in the Universe and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is the witness of all things?” (Quran 41:53) There are still lot more evidences from the quran about science 4. Quran is the Only Book which Has Been Protected from Altercations Whether you are a Muslim or not, one thing all scholars have agreed upon: The Quran has been preserved as it was revealed to the prophet in the 6th century. Copies of the Quran are still available in Tashqand and Cairo. One of the properties of the Muslim Nation is “ISNAD”. Isnad means means having narration chains where each person in the narration chain is well known and has his life recorded and studies. 5.The Quran and its Eloquence as a Linguistic Miracle. As the Arabs of that time were so linguistically gifted, a linguistic miracle was fit for the situation. Quran was sent to people who were so eloquent in the Arabic language. If the Quran was not a linguistic miracle, then any of the Arabs and Arab poets in Mekkah (where the prophet peace be upon him stayed for 13 years calling people to worship Allah alone) would come up and say some poetry to challenge the Quran (since the challenge to them was clear) but none was able to challenge the eloquence of the Quran. 6. God in Islam is the Creator Most people who do not believe in God have an altered image of God. I do not believe in God who has human qualities. I do not believe in God who is born and can die. I do not believe in God who has human weaknesses. I do not believe in God who hisses and can manifest himself in his creations such as a cow. Hence, many Christians and other religious followers have doubts in their Gods and then some of them throw these doubts behind their backs and say we have faith while others just throw these doubts and refuse the idea of God. I do believe in God who is the creator of the heavens and the earth. I believe in God who has created everything that lives. So who is God in Islam? 7. Islam is the Largest Spreading Religion in this World Islam is the largest spreading religion in the western world and not because Muslims have more children than others. More than 20000 Americans convert to Islam each year. 4000 have converted to Islam in Germany this year alone. Thousands are converting to Islam in Latin America. WHY? Where is my proof? Full topic can be found at http:// islamegy./2007/06/27/new_muslims/ 8. Consistency of Islam in Changing Times Whether you are a Muslim or a person who attacks Islam such as Daniel Pipes, you would agree that Islam has been constant in these changing times. Nothing else has been constant. Muslims still think the old way; the way of the prophets and the way which God has revealed his book. |
I came up with this because christian like calling islam religion of terrorism quoting from the quran and ignoring the verses in there bible.... Luke 19:27: Jesus said Bring those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me As well as Matthew 10:34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. Deuteronomy 17 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant; 17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; 17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel; 17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die. Or Deuteronomy 13: 6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again. 12 If you hear it said about one of the towns the Lord your God is giving you to live in 13 that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known), 14 then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, 15 you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock. 16 You are to gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. That town is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt. Or Numbers 31, where God commands the Israelites to attack Midian and kill all the men, all the married women and all the male children but to keep the virgin females as the spoils of war and distribute them among the soldiers. The reason offered for that barbarism? Two Midianite women had allegedly “tempted” two Israelite men to worship other gods |
1 – INTRODUCTION
The idea that the Bible contains
prophecies about the coming of
Muhammad (peace be upon him), may
surprise many people. It isn’t difficult
to understand why, since the general
perception people have of
Muhammad is that of a man with no
connection to Biblical Prophets or
prophecies. However, taking a closer
look at Muhammad’s life, it becomes
clear that he upheld the basic tenets
that the Biblical Prophets came with,
and led millions to do the same.
Indeed it is because of the teachings of
Muhammad that billions of Muslims,
since his time and until today, have
revered the persons of Jesus, Moses
and Abraham (peace be upon them
all).
In this article, you will discover how
the Bible foretells the coming of an
Arabian prophet, specifically Prophet
Muhammad. Although there are
numerous prophecies about
Muhammad scattered throughout the
Bible, we are going to focus primarily
on the 42nd chapter of the Book of
Isaiah in the Old Testament. Please
note that all verses referenced from
the Bible have been taken from the
New International Version.
2 – WHAT IS ISAIAH 42 ABOUT?
The 42nd chapter of the Book of Isaiah
describes itself as a prophecy about
the future. Isaiah states that:
…the former things have taken
place, and new things I declare...
[Isaiah 42:9]
Isaiah starts the chapter by drawing
our attention to a very special person
that God will send. He describes this
person as:
…my servant, whom I uphold, my
chosen one in whom I delight...
[Isaiah 42:1]
At least three of the names of Prophet
Muhammad are mentioned -
“servant”, “chosen one” and “in whom
I delight”.
Prophet Muhammad is known as
God’s Servant, in Arabic “abd - ullah”.
“Chosen one” is “Mustafa” in Arabic.
This is another of the names of
Prophet Muhammad.
The one in whom God ‘delights in’
shows that this person is beloved to
God. ‘Habibullah’ in Arabic, which
means “Beloved of God”, also happens
to be one of Prophet Muhammad’s
names.
3 – THE LOCATION OF THIS SPECIAL
PERSON
Isaiah also reveals the location of this
special person. He states:
Let the wilderness and its towns
raise their voices; let the
settlements where Kedar lives
rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing
for joy; let them shout from the
mountaintops. [Isaiah 42:11]
The two key words used are ‘Kedar’
and ‘Sela’ which together pinpoint an
exact location for this special person.
Out of all the places on earth that
Isaiah mentioned, he chose to
highlight Kedar and Sela’s location so
we should pay special attention.
Who is Kedar, and where did he settle?
The Old Testament tells us that Kedar
was one of the sons of Ishmael:
These are the names of the sons of
Ishmael, listed in the order of their
birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of
Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam
[Genesis 25:13]
Ishmael is one of the sons of the
Prophet Abraham (pbuh). The Old
Testament tells us that Ishmael dwelt
in a place called Paran:
While he (Ishmael) was living in the
Desert of Paran, his mother got a
wife for him from Egypt. [Genesis
21:21]
Many Christian interpreters of the
Bible hold that Paran is in Arabia.
From Clarke’s Commentary on the
Bible:
He dwelt in the wilderness of Paran
– This is generally allowed to have
been a part of the desert belonging
to Arabia Petraea, in the vicinity of
Mount Sinai; and this seems to be
its uniform meaning in the sacred
writings.
Moreover Strong’s Bible Dictionary
also tells us:
H6290 pâ’rân From H6286;
ornamental; Paran, a desert of
Arabia: – Paran.
We can also place the location of the
descendants of Ishmael, known as
Ishmaelites, to Arabia. According to
Harper’s Bible Dictionary [1] the term
‘Ishmaelites’ is used synonymously
with the term ‘Midianites’. We can see
this from the story of Joseph in
Genesis:
“Meanwhile, the Midianites sold
Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, one of
Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of
the guard.” [Genesis 37:36]
“Now Joseph had been taken down
to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who
was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the
captain of the guard, bought him
from the Ishmaelites who had
taken him there.” [Genesis 39:1]
So these two groups, the Midianites
and Ishmaelites, are used
interchangeably. We know that
geographically, Biblical Midian is
located in modern day Western Saudi
Arabia, compare a typical Bible map
with a modern day map:
Kedar and his own sons are also
specifically linked to Arabia:
“The oracle about Arabia. In the
thickets of Arabia you must spend
the night, O caravans of Dedanites.
… all the splendor of Kedar will
terminate” [Isaiah 21:13-16]
Arabia and all the princes of Kedar
were your favored dealers in
lambs, rams, and goats; in these
they did business with you. [Ezekiel
27:21]
The Old Testament scholar Charles
Foster says about Kedar:
“Namely, of the land of Kedar;
which every reader conversant with
Arabian geography will recognise
as a most accurate delineation of
the district of Hedjaz [Western
Saudi Arabia], including its famous
cities of Makkah and Madina.” [2]
In summary we have established that
Ishmael and his descendants,
specifically Kedar, settled in modern
day Saudi Arabia.
Whilst it’s true that Saudi Arabia
represents a wide geographic region,
the use of the word ‘Sela’ pinpoints an
exact location. The place being spoken
of is actually the city of Madinah
because ‘Sela’ is the name of a famous
mountain in Madinah. Madinah was
the city of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
It is worth mentioning that Prophet
Muhammad’s lineage can also be
traced back to Prophet Abraham
(peace be upon them all). This is
through Kedar:
4 – THE JEWISH TRIBES OF MADINAH
It’s important to note that historically
we know there was a presence of
various Jewish tribes in Madinah
before the advent of Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh). Both Jewish
Historians and Islamic history records
this fact. The American historian Salo
Baron, the most noted historian of the
Jews of his generation, recorded the
following in his book “Social and
Religious History of the Jews”:
Judaic presence and influence
throughout the region burgeoned
steadily throughout the first few
centuries of the Common Era. The
process is substantiated by solidly
sympathetic references to Jews and
Judaism in pre-Islamic Arabic
literature. By the sixth century, it is
clear that Jewish tribes dominated
Yathrib (Medina)… [3]
The question then arises, why were
there numerous Jewish tribes within
Madinah? The answer is that the
learned Jews were aware of this
prophecy in Isaiah and were anxiously
awaiting the coming of a new prophet.
Islamic history records the fact that
whenever a dispute arose between the
Jews and Arabs in Madinah, the Jews
used to taunt their pagan Arab
neighbours, by saying that:
“when our prophet arrives we shall
obliterate you…”. [4]
The Qur’an also affirms this. God says:
“Is it not a sign to them that the
learned men of the Children of
Israel knew it (as true)?” [Chapter
26, verse 197]
5 – WHAT THIS SPECIAL PERSON WILL
BRING
Isaiah informs us that this special
person will bring something new.
Mankind is told that we will:
Sing to the Lord a new song, his
praise from the ends of the earth…
[Isaiah 42:10]
The statement “a new song” means a
new law, a new way of worship. This is
exactly what Islam represents. The
emphasis on the new song here is
singing the praise of God all over the
earth. The Qur’an opens with the
statement “Praise be to God, Lord of
the worlds” and is recited by Muslims
all over the world during prayers every
day.
Some Christians believe that Isaiah is a
prophecy about Jesus. When we
analyse the life of Jesus as portrayed
in the New Testament, we will see that
this cannot be the case. The new song
cannot refer to Jesus, because
he obeyed and followed the Law of
Moses throughout his life. Jesus didn’t
sing a new song; he sang the same
song of Moses, the Torah. In the
Gospel of Matthew, Jesus said:
For truly I tell you, until heaven
and earth disappear, not the
smallest letter, not the least stroke
of a pen, will by any means
disappear from the Law until
everything is accomplished.
Therefore anyone who sets aside
one of the least of these
commands and teaches others
accordingly will be called least in
the kingdom of heaven, but
whoever practices and teaches
these commands will be called
great in the kingdom of heaven.
[Matthew 5:18-19]
Moreover the disciples of Jesus also
followed the Law of Moses, even after
Jesus departed.
6 – WHO HE WILL BE SENT TO
Isaiah emphasises the universal
mission of the coming person by
mentioning that he will be made a:
...covenant for the people and a
light for the Gentiles [Isaiah 42:6]
Gentiles means non Jews. The Qur’an
confirms that Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) was sent to the
whole of mankind, Jews and Gentiles
alike. In the Qur’an God tells us:
We have sent you [O Prophet] as a
bearer of glad tidings and a warner
for the whole of mankind, but most
people have no knowledge.
[Chapter 34, verse 28]
The verse in Isaiah cannot apply to
Jesus because in the Gospel of
Matthew Jesus said:
“I was sent only to the lost sheep of
Israel.” [Matthew 15:24]
Isaiah further states that God will:
…lead the blind by ways they have
not known, along unfamiliar paths I
will guide them... [Isaiah 42:16]
The pagan Arabs at the time of
Prophet Muhammad fit this
description perfectly because they had
not been sent a messenger prior to
Muhammad. The Qur’an bears witness
to this, God states that Muhammad
was sent to:
... warn a people to whom no
warner has come before... [Chapter
32, verse 3]
The verse in Isaiah cannot apply to
Jesus because his people, the
Israelites, had already received the
Torah and a multitude of Prophets
from God. Here are just some of the
Prophets that the Israelites were sent,
up to and including Jesus:
Moses
Aaron
Joshua
Samuel
Nathan
David
Solomon
Micaiah
Hoshea
Amos
Micah
Elijah
Elisha
Jonah
Isaiah
Joel
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Jeremiah
Ezekiel
Daniel
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi
Jesus
Isaiah emphasises that this special
person will be sent to:
...those who trust in idols, who say
to images, ‘You are our gods,’...
[Isaiah 42:17]
The whole of Arabia at the start of
Muhammad’s Prophethood consisted
of idol worshippers.
Again, this cannot be a reference to
Jesus because his people, the
Israelites, were monotheists and not
idol worshippers.
Moreover, Jesus explicitly told his
disciples to stay away from the idol
worshipping Gentiles, the exact
opposite of what Isaiah prophesied.
The Gospel of Matthew tells us that:
These twelve Jesus sent out with
the following instructions: “Do not
go among the Gentiles…” [Matthew
10:5]
7 – A WARRIOR WHO WILL FIGHT GOD’S
ENEMIES
Isaiah states that this special person
will be a warrior and will:
...go forth as a mighty man, he
shall stir up jealousy like a man of
war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall
prevail against his enemies. [Isaiah
42:13]
Throughout history God has dealt
sternly with those who are sent
guidance and persist in disbelief.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) had to engage in many battles
with the idol worshipping enemies of
God and ultimately prevailed against
them.
By comparison, Jesus did not triumph
over his enemies, according to
Christians he was crucified by them.
Moreover Jesus wasn’t interested in
fighting, he was not a man of war, he
was a pacifist according to the New
Testament. He said such things as:
“for all who draw the sword will die
by the sword.” [Matthew 26:52]
And:
“My kingdom is not of this world: if
my kingdom were of this world,
then would my servants
fight…” [John 18:36].
8 – WHAT HE WILL ACHIEVE
Isaiah gives us a list of momentous
achievements for this special person.
Chief of these is that the idol
worshippers:
...will be turned back in utter
shame... [Isaiah 42:17]
Not only did Prophet Muhammad
conquer Mecca, the Pagan capital of
Arabia, but by the end of his life, in
just 23 short years of Prophethood,
Arabia had shunned idol worship and
now worshipped the One true God of
Abraham.
This cannot apply to Jesus as it was
Christians themselves who were
humiliated (and “greatly ashamed”) for
hundreds of years after Jesus. They
were persecuted at the hands of the
Roman Empire who were idol
worshippers. They executed some of
the followers of Jesus such as Peter
and Paul. Christians were tortured and
even fed to lions.
9 – A WARNING FROM GOD
Finally, Isaiah closes with an
admonishment:
“Hear, you deaf; look, you blind,
and see…
You have seen many things, but
you pay no attention; your ears are
open, but you do not listen…
Which of you will listen to this or
pay close attention in time to
come?” [Isaiah 42:18-23]
It seems clear that the “deaf and blind”
Isaiah is talking about in this verse are
those who reject Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him. Who among you
will heed God by acknowledging him,
who will “listen” and “pay close
attention in time to come”? |
