Do you know that if your spirit is pure you can not have wet dream? You need to really pray very hard because some forces are manipulating your spirit by having sex with you in your sleep.

dexmond:

If one is a born-again believer, and is experincing wet dreams, then something is wrong with his profession. If you have lust for the opposite sex in your hearth, the chances of one experiencing wet dreams will increase. And if you have a wife of your own, and you find out you are experiencing it, then the culprit could be an inter-dimensional being that seek gratification with you. You may not believe, because it is nothing in your faith.

Where do you get your fact? Will you support your claim with Jesus statement? As a christian, is there any teaching according to Jesus regarding wet dream?

@ustaz olabowale; May Allah bless you increased you in knowledge and wisdom for the good works doing on NL.
@countrygrl; try and follow up as instructed, I am very happy for you. Try much to use your time judiciously in learning the basic Islam concepts and develop on it. May Almighty Allah assists you and counts you and other Muslims on NL the inheritors of paradise. Amin

who are you? Are you one of them?

The moon was splited and witness by people and was recorded. You don't accept it shouldn't be a problem unless you have a proof against it. Jesus was once said raised the dead, witnessed and recorded as well.

“The real sponsors are in the Government House, Maiduguri ,” Elder Samuel Salifu, CAN’s national secretary, told journalists in Abuja. He said the motive behind the hurried killing of both Yusuf and Fai was to silence them before they could spill the beans on who the actual backers of the mayhem were.

“Why were the sect leader, Mohammed Yusuf and the ex-commissioner in Sheriff’s government, Alhaji Buji Fai, who was reported to have been taken to Government House silenced so quickly? We sense a cover-up by the Borno State Government,” Salifu said.

Very true! If someone could browse through my earlier posts, I think I posted similar info. There were similar sects in the past in 2002 in maiduguri, with the same ideology and campaign.

@ littleb

i am truly sorry to hear abt ur brother, yes i have lost a few yoruba friends that were not considered true muslims by the northerners but my mind about islam is pretty much set in stone, once bitten twice shy, i ain't playing the fool to them, i may trust them in the time of peace but at the slightest tension i will be well prepared bcuz they can come for my neck, no offense if u are muslim

No offense committed. When you look at our northern brothers generally overreacted when severely touched. E, thven on business matters. They are just differ.

davidylan:

but that is all about politics! how can you relate that to islam which as we all know is peace?

Which Islam do you know?

davidylan:

i thought you knew them already? Share them with us pls

i asked for at least 2 . . . where are they? and when did they come to pass?

The conquest of Makkah by muslims and it has been fulfilled over 1400 years ago
Roman destruction, already fullfilled
prophecy about abi-laab and his wife in makkah. Already fulfilled.

Now, tell me the prophecies from the bible, directly God words.

@na2day,javalove
Thanks for your response. May Amlighty God guides us right.

na2day, it wasn't you alone, my late brother was a muslim and equally an ustaz was attacked once by such illiterate hausa muslim who used to be his neighbor, just because he is a yoruba, regarding him as unbelievers.

I personally have investigated some violence in the north which I confirmed were politically inclined. The mode of attack and the personality of the attackers does not even near islam. Let me relate some conversation of the attackers and the victim to you.

attacker1(drunken): Are you a muslim or not
victim: yes
attacker1: recite Quran may i hear. audu, pls listen well
victim: (reciting)
attacker1: audu, he correct or not?
attacker2(versed in Quran a little): he no too correct

hearing that, they will slaughter the victim.

This can't judge what Islam or muslims generally are. There are lot of people reverting to Islam everyday in the west, I believe some might have experience or informed about many of these violent before. However, they could still find there way back to Islam. I brought up this information just for people to express their view considering if it were to be happened in area like northern part of Nigeria, only God can tell damages it would have cause.

Thanks

davidylan:

1. Prophecies like?

2. Where are allah's prophecies and which of them came to pass?

1. You can help yourself by quoting it from bible and I will proof it wasn't a direct revelation, rather a narration.

2. There are lot of prophecies in the Quran, much of it very relevant ot our existence. In the early days of Islam, the conquest of Makkah was a prophecy which has nothing to do with bible prophetic messages.

na2day?:

honestly i get very sick when ppl come to me and start out by saying islam is the religion of peace, i go yeah right! my life experiences have taught me otherwise so mere words from some illiterate muslim is not good enough, i can even quote some suras for him sef and tell him what he has not read in his Quran

Thanks for your view earlier on the topic. Your experiences should not be generalized to the end or judges your view on Islam. Meanwhile, should we promote hatred among ourself on religious matter?

@ThiefOfHearts

What is your view on the topic?

dexmond:


If the bible is not God's word, how will you explain the numerous prophecies whereas in the quran you just find may be two guess works?

When you read bible to yourself, you dont need a degree to know its not God's word. The prophesies therein can be easily cleared out, it's like someone is narrating my great grandfather stories, it's more than third party information with a lot of mis-transformation. Yoruba says"Iroyin okere, bi o lekan adinku".  Now, can you please quote to reveal what you called a guess work from the Quran.

Thanks for the advice and your idea. However, I think probably you got some points wrong, muslims are actually studying quran. And not only studied it but also encouraged to memorized it off head for thier daily life requirement. Quran is a daily need of Muslims like sermon, there are lot of muslims who can reference each verse from first surah to the last off head and give much details of its tafsir and relevant hadiths. If you have came about muslims who doesn't well versed in the Quran doesnt means he does not aware of its relevant message therein.

It is very stupid of a muslim who pray salat everyday and doesn't clearly understand or make effort to understand the book he worship with.

[size=15pt]The Muslim News. <Just Your Views pls>[/size][center]US church erects anti-Islam sign[/center]
By Elham Asaad Buaras

A North Central Florida neighborhood is in an uproar over an Islamophobic sign embedded by a local ‘nondenominational’ Church on July 6.
Officials from the Gainesville based Dove World Outreach Center defended the sign which reads ‘Islam is of the Devil’ saying they hoped it would “expose Islam” and make people “repent” their sins.
The sign angered both Muslims and non-Muslims alike, many voiced their concern to their local newspaper The Gainesville Sun: “I am very saddened and disappointed to see that a local ‘Christian’ church has erected a sign displaying such hatred. This is precisely the type of behavior that fosters and perpetuates racism, division strereotypes and violence,” wrote Kim Chamberlain.
Sixteen-year-old Muslim resident Gaby Alim said she feels hurt by the statement, but wants to know why the Dove World Outreach Center posted it.
“I think it’s all stereotypical about the whole Iraq war. People think all Muslims are like that and we’re not,” said Alim.
University of Florida Professor David Hackett says that people become very emotional when it comes to religion. “There are tendencies through all religions to think that theirs is the right one and the other ones are wrong,” he said.
Someone tried to spray paint over the sign, but the Church quickly fixed it. For now, the sign stays and Dr Jones says they plan to add more.
In a statement to The Muslim News Senior Pastor at the Centre, Dr Terry Jones said the point of the sign is to, “To expose Islam for what it is. It is a violent and oppressive religion that is trying to mascarade itself as a religion of peace, seeking to deceive our society. The truth should never offend us. We should embrace the truth. That is the foundation of our country and that is the only way to true freedom. Islam is a lie based upon lies and deceptions and fear.”
The city’s code enforcement has been out to look at the sign and say the case is under investigation. According to the Municipal Ordinance 30-317, temporary signs with no commercial message are permitted.
The row is the latest in a series of Islamophobic incidents in Florida, USA. On July 2 the south Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called on the FBI to investigate a vandalism at a mosque in that state.
Vandals smashed two windows of the Islamic School of Miami but the vandalism was only discovered because the windows were in a storage area. Six months ago, the same mosque’s windows were shattered and its golden dome damaged by a hail of gunfire. In 2005, a large rock was used to shatter the door of the mosque. In 2004, the mosque’s sign was defaced with a Nazi swastika.
In a statement to The Muslim News CAIR National Communications Director, Ibrahim Hooper, said, “We urge state and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate a possible bias motive for this latest attack. We also urge those committed to justice and interfaith tolerance to speak out against this attack.”

There is another report which read he was wounded and taken to Giwa barracks, Maiduguri, where he, reportedly, died of his wounds on Thursday evening. All na lie, it is just a cover up for their unjust killing.

Why are you talking in ingnorance! Such killing has been a problem in nigeria, why should they killed him. I think he has some questions to answers which possibly could expose some politicians and security officers.

In 2003, while the case was in court, the similar so called taliban guys were killed in Maiduguri prison when the truth was about to be discovered.

@abuzola
Do you notice the unjust killing of the forces. Why should they killed the boko haram leader in detention. This same unjust killings was done in 2003, some northern leaders clear their children from the crime, the remaining guys were killed in the prison on alleged accusation they are trying to escape.

This is mosque as applicable in masajid.

davidylan:


can you be "outside" or "inside" empty space demarcated with stones?

It depends on your interpretation and understandings. If not your intention is systematic attack and denying the truth. The choice of words in translation seems inapplicable to you which I cleared. Give me an example of demarcated place maybe I can help you.

davidylan:

So it is ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that mohammad entered the masjid al aqsa like littleb LIED about . . . the ummayad's were the first muslims to conquer jerusalem.

Utter nonsense. Allah didnt perform a feat of prophecy . . .

Dont tell us rubbish about the masjid being a "site or land ground" . . . here is what littleb said - Outside was a ring used by the Messengers of Allah to tie their animals. The Prophet tied his buraq to this ring. Then the Prophet entered the masjid where Allah assembled for him all the Prophets--from Adam to Isa. Prophet Muhammad moved forward and led them all in prayer.

that is clear that it was a building not a site. Can you be "outside" a land or "inside" it?

Of what relevance is this? Pls stay on topic.

Lay down the crack alhaji

Mosque does not necessarily means a physical building, the actual word in arabic is 'masajid', meaning a place of prostrating(worship) and it can simply be demarcated with stones. I know you are looking for a building due to my statements; "Outside was a ring used by the Messengers of Allah to tie their animals". It is still applicable if the place is considered demarcated or dilapidated and sometimes the the choice of words in translation gives readers different understandings in its usage and applications. There are about 45 narrators of hadith describe prophet Muhammad ascension. Hadiths is an historical events of prophets Muhammad according to those who witnesses it. Will you deny it when you dont have any to prove against it.

abusola
my pc bat is low, till 2morow.

debosky:

Kill every last one of them - anyone who destroys institutions of the state should face the full wrath of the law.

But you against sharia. If someone who burnt an institution should be killed, then what of who raped, commits adultery etc?

Abuzola:

Littleb, i don't get your point, no one is supporting them but this slaying them like ram is haram, like you said they are misguided teens so why not dialogue with them and educate them . For sure you did not read all my post on this thread otherwise you would have gotten the message am passing across.

@redeener, yap i will take the lead if am given the priviledge. Am a good mediator you know.

You are right. I belief govt has a huge part to take. However, violent may take other way round, probably if those guys attack first, because, it is part of their agenda to attack govt. Some govt top officials children are amongst them as well.

Bobbyaf:

I was really hoping for respondents to approach this thread from a different perspective. Once again people of different religious persuasions are doing what they have not been able to get away from, and that is to critique or oppose another sacred book without having read it, or made an attempt to understand it.

I for one have never read the Kuran, and as such have never made an attempt to argue against Muslims in this thread, even if I thought that their claim to fame was unfounded. Hence I am asking Muslims in particular to intelligently defend the Kuran. Both Christians and Muslims I believe are able to use their book to justify why they believe their sacred book is the genuine one.

Is there a Christian, or Muslim that has in fact read a sacred book, or parts of it, whether it is perceived to be one or not, from the opposing camp? Is there a Christian that has read the Kuran with an open mind? Is there a Muslim that has done the same thing with the bible?

Its very easy to tell the fora that the Kuran is God's words, but is there anything that can be used as solid proof that indeed the book came from God? Is there a distinctive prophecy that was made by the Kuran that is unique to the Kuran? Has that prophecy been fulfilled in history? 

Once again goodly people let us reason without offending.

Beyond resonable doubt there are ample evidence to proof Quran is actually from God almighty. It consists of 100% the word of God and no words of the prophet Muhammad, his companions, or any human being. From morphology analysis alone, it is very clear that the Quran speaks in the first person, i.e. Allah's commandments to its creation. Quran is very well organised and each chapter begin with introduction. Quran itself challenge the whole mankind to provide a single chapter similar to this revelation if they belief is not from God. In the whole of arab poet and orators, Quran has been an amazing book coz it was brought by an illiterate who cant read nor write. Syntax and semantic analysis of the Quran shows all the sentences, words and even letters used in it are in miraculous harmony which linguistics could hardly find mistakes in it.
The Quran objectively stated if its not from God, you would have find there in many discrepancies. And now, over 1400 years, no single one.
Additionally, Quran make references to some historical events and not details history being just a guidance and not an historical book. Also, give clear explanation on sciences such astronomy,space and time, anatomy e.t.c

@ JArus

uhmn  . . , Whats the purpose of this thread again?

Lodge your complaints!

If you look closely, most of them are teenagers. They are brainwashed to use them against against the govt. Most of them drop out from school to avoid western education and yet not well grounded in Islamic knowledge. Once they set them up, their leaders fled away.

@abuzola,
Those  boko guys are very wrong with their mission. It  started long time ago and I  have much details, if you care to know more, lets me have your contact. It is differ from Niger delta.

wakiri:


Isn't it foolish to assume that this is how God wants to send messages to people, (especially in Germany where people cannot read Arabic and the authorities bar it so people cannot see it?)

Which method will it be right then for God to send message to people. NOw you have an example in the bible where a miraculous hand appear on the wall for betheshasha in a language which he didn't understand. Is it the german muslims that went there to paint the tree or shape it to form those words? If you belief not, why cant you take a trip to witness it, or otherwise dont analyse what you have no knowledge.

[center]Belief in Prophets and Missions-Invitation to salvation-02[/center]

Question 01: What is the indisputable evidence that the teachings of Muhammad have all come
from God?

Answer 01: There are numerous irrefutable evidences indicating that such teachings originated
from God almighty. Here are some:
1. All that has been enjoined, and denied, can be found highly propitious and useful to all
mankind, everywhere and at any time. They are commensurate with the sound mind and
the chaste insight. Examples are commandments on solidifying family ties, preserving
superior moral qualities, avoiding usury and all misdemeanors. All that the prophet (pbuh)
has been told in inspiration has been proved valid. Such material falls in two categories:

A. Pertaining to the past. These are corroborated by former books as well as
authenticated evidence confirmed by science and modern discoveries, e.g. finindgs in
geology as the era of the deluge, in archeology as the relics from the epochs of Thamud
and the Pharaos.

B. Pertaining to the future. Certain incidents were predicted by the prophet, e.g. the fire
which blasted Medina in 654 hijra, the good offices performed by Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abi
Talib in reconcilating between two major factions of Muslims, the gathering of the Jews in
Palestine today, the emergence of nudist women who earn their living in immodest ways,
and the spread of ususry, corruption, murder, etc.

C. Evidences derived from the prophet’s own life and morals, a study of both of which can
only cofirms that such actions can never emerge except from one who is both true and
honest. Whoever considers God’s support of His prophet (pbuh), the victory over his
enemies, and the spread of his religion, must come to the conclusion that this prophet was
sustained by God and that all he preached had come from the Almighty.

D. Some contemporary scientific discoveries support the prophet’s tenets, e.g. stages of
the life of the embryo, the way in which milk comes into being in the mammals, the
existence of the aquarian barrier between two adjecent seas, the fact that the Dead Sea is
the nethermost place on earth, etc.

E. The miracles performed by him: these were simultaneously witnessed by both his
followers and antagonists, e.g. the fissure of the moon surface, the springing of water from
his fingers, the healing of the sick, etc. His greatest miracle remains the glorious Qur’an
that has proved the authenticity of its contents over the ages.


Question 02: Who is the prophet?

Answer 02: He is a man chosen by almighty God, inspired by Him, and enjoined to proclaim the
call to the people he was sent to.

Question 03: How can prophet Muhammad (pbuh) be the imam (leader) of all the prophets when
he is the last messenger?

Answer 03: Preference is God’s own prerogative. It is exclusive to such and not to others, in
accordance with His emmiscience and wisdom. Preference has no relation with precedence or
antecedence in time. Moses and Jesus are are among the latter batch of prophets, still they are
the best among all those who preceded them except Noah and Abraham (peace be uponh them).
Furthermore, prophet Muhammad’s religion, in terms of creeds and the morals, conforms to those
preached by the previous prophets. As for the rules of these religions, the prophet (pbuh), by
commandments from almighty God, nullified some, modified others; altered some, and
augmented others. Accordingly, his call has become more comprehensive, more perfect, hence
has dominion over precedences. The one in charge of such a call deserves being an imam to
those who preceded him. Those were made to pledge to the be faithful to him and support him,
almighty God says:
“And (remember) when God took the covenant of the prophets, saying: ‘Take whatever I
gave you from the book and hikmah (understanding of the laws of God), and afterwards
there will come to you a messenger (Muhammad) confirming what is with you; you must,
then, believe in him and help him.’ God said: ‘Do you agree (to it) and will you take up my
covenant (which I conclude with you)?’ They said: ‘We agree.’ He said: ‘Then bear
witness; and I am with you among the witnesses (for this)’.” (Holy Qur’an: 3: 81).


Question 04: What evidence proves that Jesus was not a God, but only a messenger from God?

Answer 04: Jesus Christ (pbuh), following both the Gospels and the Qur’an, was born of the
virgin Mary, who was just like any other human being. It is common knowledge that whoever is
born cannot be deified. Jesus Christ was a human being who used to eat and drink just like
anybody else. He was susceptible to hunger, grief and/or merriment. He experienced all the
paraphernalia pertaining to human life. His miraculous creation from no father is no stranger than
that of Adam, a being who was both fatherless and motherless. This is an evidence of God’s
omnipotence. Jesus Christ was no more than a servant to, and messenger of God, who revealed
the scripture in order to promulgate it and carry out His call. On the day of judgement Jesus
Christ is not to be judged because of those who deified him in exclusion of God or thought of him
as parallel. In the Qur’an we have a mentioning of this, where in the hereafter God will ask Jesus
if he had asked his followers to deify him, whereby Jesus will answer God by saying: “If you
punish them, they are your slaves, and if you forgive them, verily, you, only you, are the all-
Mighty, the all-Wise” (Holy Qur’an: 5: 118). Here is one more reply to the one who seeks an
evidence as to the deification of Jesus Christ, while he has none of the qualities of God.
Whatever miracles he performed emanated from God, just as He supported other prophets.

Question 05: In what way was Jesus Christ a Muslim, as well as all the other prophets?

Answer 05: There is no doubt that all prophets (peace be upon them), beginning with Adam and
ending in Muhammad, preached one religion—the worship of God alone and disregarding all
other powers. This is something advocated by Islam. God says: “Truly, the true religion with God
is Islam” (Holy Qur’an: 3: 19). About Abraham (pbuh), God says: “Abraham was neither a Jew
nor a Christian, but was a true Muslim (hanif: monotheist—a worshipper one God alone) and he
was not a mushrik—a polytheist” (Holy Qur’an: 3: 67). On the question of the disciples of Jesus,
God says: “And when I (God) inspired al-hawariun (the disciples of Jesus) to believe in Me and
My Messenger, they said: ‘We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims’.” (Holy Qur’an: 5:
111). Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) confirmed this in his saying: “Prophets are paternal brothers;
their mothers are different, but their religion is one.”3

Question 06: If people have managed to distort the message of Christ, is not this sufficient
evidence that he failed in his mission? If he was great, how could God allow his call to peter out
into failure?

Answer 06: Christ (pbuh) cannot be said to have failed in his mission. God supported him with
astounding miracle and convincing arguments. Whatever distortion has befallen the scripture
3 Cited in Bukhalri, Hadith No. 1437.
preached by Christ, it must have happened after his ascention to heaven. Failure and
disintegration are the works of the followes who fell a prey to whims and caprice. In this
connection God says:
[And (remember) when God will say (on the day of reurrection): ‘O Jesus, son of Mary! Did
you say unto men: ‘worship me and my mother as two gods besides God?’ He will say:
‘Glory is to You! It is not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing,
You would surely, have know it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know
what is in Yours; truly You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden (and seen).
Never did I say to them aught except what You (God) did command me to say: worship
God my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them,
but when you took me up, You were the Watcher over them; and You are a Witness to all
things’.”] (Holy Qur’an: 5: 116-117)

Question 07: Seeing that God’s message to humanity is one and the same, why was it
partitioned among more than one prophet and not revealed in one package?

Answer 07: The message entrusted to all prophets is one and the same. It finds expression in a
call for the worship of the one God and the avoidance of false dieties, God says: “And verily, we
have sent among every ummah (community/nation) a messenger (proclaiming): ‘Worship God
(alone), and avoid taghut (all false deities)’.” (Holy Qur’an: 16: 36). God almighty also said: “And
We did not send any messenger before you (Muhammad) but We revealed to him (saying): ‘None
has the right to be worshipped but I (God), so worship Me (alone and none else)’.” (Holy Qur’an:
21: 25). As for the multiplicity of the prophets, it has been caused by various motives:
1. So that people in any age may not have the pretext as to have been ignorant of God’s
commandments. God says: “Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning
in order that mankind should have no plea against God after the (coming of) messengers.”
(Holy Qur’an: 4: 165).
2. Specifying individual laws for each nation which shall conform to its nature and
circumstances. God says: “…To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear
way…” (Holy Qur’an: 5: 48).
3. The differences among languages and their multiplicity, required entrusting more than
one prophet/messenger, each speaks the language of a certain nation. This is obvious in
the Almighty’s words: “And We sent not a messenger except with the language of his
people in order that he make (the message) clear for them” (Holy Qur’an: 14: 4).


Question 08: Is the Muslim entitled to blend his/her faith with other faiths or creeds?

Answer 08: In no way should a Mulslim adopt other creeds or principles which conflict with the
fundamentals underlying the Islamic doctrine. Monotheism runs counter to polytheism, nor does
sunna (prophet’s words and deeds) agrees with innovations. Likewise, the love of God is
incompatiable with the love of some other power, etc.

Question 09: Why were the first batch of prophets sent to certain geographical areas and not
others? How can we judge those areas which received no prophets? Why were they left without
the word of God?

Answer 09: Judging by the accounts given by the prophet’s hadiths (sayings) God sent to
various folks 124,000 prophets, while God’s messengers numbered 314.4 Such a large number
of prophets and messengers prove that not one nation or area went without one (or some). In
this regard God almighty says: “…And there never was a nation but a warner had passed among
them” (Holy Qur’an: 35: 24). And again, He also says: “And verily, we have sent among every
ummah (community/nation) a messenger (proclaiming): ‘Worship God (alone), and avoid taghut
(all false deities)’.” (Holy Qur’an: 16: 36).

Question 10: Why should Muhammad (pbuh) be considered the last prophet while Jesus Christ
will reappear?

Answer 10: Muhammad (pbuh) is actually the last of all prophets, according to what he siad.
The descent of Jesus Christ (pbuh) from heaven is not a new mission. It is a return whose aim is
to reinforce Islam and its shari’a (Islamic laws and rules) our propeht called for, and the last
celestial techings. This is clear in his words: “The coming of Jesus is imminent. He will come as
a just ruler, destroy the cross, and nullify the poll tax. There would be so much money that no
one would accept charity.” In another long hadith, he says: “…He (Jesus Christ) will call peope
to Islam and God would abolish all religions leaving Islam alone.”
It is quite obvious from the above evidences that whatever Jesus Christ preaches is nothing but
Islam and the law of Muhammad (peace be upon them both). He will even pray behind a Muslim.
The prophet says: “How will you be when the son of Mary (Jesus Christ) descends among you,
while you are praying behind an imam (a prayer leader) from among you?”
Muslim scholars referred to the return of Jesus Christ (pbuh) at the end of time. They mentioned
that his return will be especially significant to:
1. Empashize the facts of Islam as preached by prophet Muhammad (pbuh);
2. Reply to the claims of the Jews and the Christians as to his death, crucifixion.;
3. His return indicates the approach of the end of his life and his his burial.
4. The prophet’s report about Jesus Christ must be the truth, because it is something that
had been revealed to him from God.

Question 11: How can you claim that Jesus did not die while his death is actually mentioned in
Surrat Al-Imraan (Chapter 3 of the Holy Qur’an)?

Answer 11: No verse in the Qur’an relates the death of Jesus Christ (pbuh). The term used in
the chapter ‘wafaat‘ does not refer to death as much as it refers to departure from earthly
existence. His appointed time on earth had elapsed. Accordingly, God says: “And (remember )
when God said: ‘O Jesus! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you of those who
disbelieve…’.” (Holy Qur’an: 3: 55). This can be paraphrased thus: I have teken you body and
soul. The term wafaat can also be used to indicate sleep. God says: “It is He who takes your
sould by night (when you are asleep), and has knowledge of all that you have done by day…”
(Holy Qur’an: 6: 60).
Contrary to what the Chrstians claim, the Qur’an confirms that Jesus Christ (pbuh) was not killed.
God raised him up to Himself: “…For Surely, they killed him (Jesus) not. But God raised him up
(with his body and soul) unto Himself…” (Holy Qur’an: 4: 157-158). The truth of the matter is that
Jesus was ascended alive and will come back alive.
7 Cited in Bukhari (vol., 4 Hadith No. 143)

Question 12: How can you prove that Jesus Christ was not crucified?

Answer 12: This question can be answered from different angles:
1. There are many ambiguities surrounding the issue of Christ’s crucifixion in the canonical
Gospels. How was the Crucifixion carried out? For how long did Jesus hung on the
cross? What are the precise dates? Who carried the cross? What was his prayer while
he was on the cross? How do you explain his cry of despair? Who were the witnesses?
What happened after the crucifixion? There is no consensus on these questions. So
much of the crucifixion story is based on mere conjecture.
2. The issue of crucifixion is based on the belief in the original sin and redemption by
blood. This issue contradicts common sense, and it is irreconcilable with God’s justice and
mercy. How can the innocents be held accountable for the actions of the guilty?
3. Finally, the Qur’an has unambiguously refuted the Bible’s crucifixion story. God says:
“…They killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Jesus was put over
another man, and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no knowledge,
they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely, they killed him (Jesus) not. But God raised
him up (with his body and soul) unto Himself. And God is ever all-powerful, all wise” (Holy
Qur’an: 4: 157-158).
