Sadly I don't find Al-Fattan as a name of Allah but see Al-Fattah the opener.
Is this a typo of the OP or he is just being mischievous by the interpretation of the name he gives.

Ohyoudidnt:
Another disputed name is Ad-Darr.
From the root dad-ra-ra (ض ر ر), which opinion interpretes as opposing, to apply forceful correction, to do an act that is disliked making inconvenient, annoy, distress, to cause adversity, afflict, to harm, injure, and hurt.

Society often dislikes law enforcement as sometimes it isn't convenient to obey the law. Imagine having about to deliver mother in a car going to the hospital perharps for some reason the delivery is complicated and you are stuck in traffic. The opposing lane is free but by law you cannot use it. Maybe an ambulance authorised by the law to break this law can.. The non conforming nature of many would rather have them oppose the norm unless they are compelled to.

The names Al-Nafi and Ad-Darr (The one who benefits and The one who harms) are often explained in pairs to acknowledge their opposing nature. To explain each name in isolation is to break the harmony and provide an inaccurate or less comprehensive depiction of who Allah is. Note the non name form in which this appears in the Quran.

There is no ayah which explicitly mentions the name Al-Mudhill in the Qur'an, but many describe this attribute of Allah.
Probably why the mischievous slanderer that started this post kept from writing out the verses to support his claims.

It's best this is left here to see how he can justify picking this name.

However we know Allah is all able bringing honour to some from his attribute Al-Muizz and disgrace to others.

Logically in any interaction some have more success compared to others and neither is without leave of the almighty.

Allah calls Himself Al-Mutakabbir— The Supremely Great, The Perfection of Greatness— on one occasion in the Quran. He is the One who is supremely great. Al-Mutakabbir reveals His Greatness and power at every moment and in every incident!

The Supreme, The Possessor of All Rights, The Perfect Greatness

Mutakabbir comes from the root kaaf-baa-raa, which has three main meanings. The first main meaning is to be great in size, rank, or dignity, and the second to to be great in age and in learning. The third main meaning to have rights, privileges, and attributes that others don’t have.

This root appears 161 times in the Quran in 18 derived forms. Examples of these forms are kabura (“hard”), yastakbiroona (“arrogant”), akbaru (“(is)greater”), and al-kibari (“the old age”).

[b]Linguistically, kibriya means greatness and sovereignty, [/b]and it encompasses the meanings of the perfection of one’s self and existence; nobody can be described as such except Allah. Allahu Akbar– Allah is the Greatest— comes from the same root, as well as the name of Allah, Al-Kabeer. Al-Mutakabbir is the One who possesses all greatness, who is above having any of the qualities of His creatures, who cannot be harmed by the oppressors among His creation, and whose greatness and pride are the utmost.

Al-Mutakabbir Himself says: He is Allah , other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him. [Quran, 59:23]

Allah ‘azza wa jall describes people as mutakabbireen (arrogant) on multiple occasions in the Quran. They have arrogance in their hearts and actions towards Allah by disbelieving in His signs and they are arrogant to other people by looking down on them due to position, race, wealth, etc.

Makr is defined as causing something to others in a hidden manner, and it also conveys the meanings of plotting and deceit. However, it is of two types: blameworthy Makr, which means causing harm to someone who does not deserve it, and praiseworthy Makr, which means causing harm to someone who deserves it as a punishment. In the verses yo
In Quran 3:54 who are those making a plan?
Are these not the disbelievers and particularly the Jews scheming to accuse Jesus and have him done away with?

In your Bible at Matthew 26: 3-4
Then the leading priests and the older Jewish leaders had a meeting at the palace where the high priest lived. The high priest’s name was Caiaphas.
In the meeting they tried to find a way to arrest and kill Jesus without anyone knowing what they were doing. They planned to arrest Jesus and kill him.

This then leads to the question, is your God below his creation that they will out do or out smart him?
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in Q3:55

"[Mention] when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ."

This is why there is Q4:171
Or you prefer your Messiah to first be cursed before he takes on the sin of man?
Gal 3:13 Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree

Do you not see Allah is indeed above all and well above his creation?

Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, according to Our likeness...'" (Genesis 1:26)

God Hates
“There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil, a false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers.” (Proverbs 6:16-19)


God Feels Pleased
“And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.” (1 Kings 3:10)

The Lord told Solomon to ask Him for anything. God was pleased when Solomon asked for wisdom to discern between good and evil to judge God’s people. God was so pleased, He granted Solomon’s petition and also blessed him with riches and honor.

Feeling pleased is a natural emotion, one which we received from God. We should desire to please Him, and we should be pleased with Him.


Do you think your God cannot have the opposites of these feelings?

If man is created in the image of God according to your bible where then does all the emotions of mankind come from?

When the Israelites were in captivity and God showed the pharoah numerous signs didn t he cause/bring him distress?

You believe in God and agree he has power over everything?

He creates and allows things to happen from hot weather to cold weather, floods to droughts and you believe these are just for fun?

There is a heaven and there's hell? You believe these are created for creation sake?

Anyway there surely are core differences in your concept of God and mine. Mine is uniquely one while yours is uniquely 3 in one in a way that surely confuses you yourself.

In any case review those verses you list and actually pick out the names of Allah though these are epithets perhaps you will have understanding.

BibleStudyForum:
Daniel recorded a messianic prophecy about The Son of Man who is Jesus. So by calling himself Son Of Man he was https://biblestudyforum.com/threads/why-does-jesus-refer-to-himself-as-the-son-of-man.46/#post-61

This represents Hezekiah more, the Judean king of the Old Testament. The references to the Son of man in Daniel are more aligned with Hezekiah than with Jesus.

To begin, the context in which the term "Son of man" is used in the Book of Daniel strongly supports the interpretation of it being Hezekiah. In Daniel 7:13-14, the phrase is used to describe a human figure with qualities of both divinity and royalty. These characteristics align closely with Hezekiah, who was a righteous and faithful king of Judah, highly regarded for his religious reformation and trust in God. Hezekiah's story in the Old Testament records numerous instances where he sought divine intervention and received miraculous deliverance, seemingly similar to the descriptions in Daniel.

Furthermore , the time period in which the Book of Daniel was written aligns with Hezekiah's reign rather than Jesus Christ. The events depicted in the book are set during the Babylonian exile, which began around 586 BCE. Jesus Christ was born centuries later, making it unlikely for the Son of man references in Daniel to refer to him. On the other hand, Hezekiah lived and ruled during the same period when these prophecies were likely written, making him a more plausible candidate for the Son of man in Daniel.

TenQ:
Six simple questions and you are speechless!
SMH!
Why are you afraid of answering the questions?

Check the write up and you will find Quranic verses that backs each one up.

Are you seeing this for the first time?
1. المتكبر Al-Mutakabbir The Arrogant/The Boaster Quran 59:23

2. المذل Al-Mudhil The Humiliating Quran 3:26

3. المكر Al-Makr The deceitful, cheater/deceiver Qur'an 8:30, Quran 3:54

4. الضار Ad-Daar The "Harmer"/The "Distresser" Quran 6:17

5. المؤمن Al-Mu'min The Believer Quran 59:23


It seems you are not aware that Allah has many Beautiful names. Out of it these five have come out.



I challenge you to show me the ones that were mis-translated!

You are so pathetic!
Go and learn arabic you won't like the recruit that barely wears his uniform and feels he is the American commando.
Too bad no scope lessons for you here.
It's a movie!
Made to believe.

Take your time to list the verses you claim and see your folly. Perharps you can do this privately before further exposing your ignorance

As usual the all knowing Taqiyya Tenq draws up singular names and picks a translation that suits his mischief.
Quote the verses where these names are mentioned and display their agreement with what you say.
Fortunately a Jew is exposing the mischief of the church in twisting the Bible text from Hebrew.
He seems to almost go as far as calling the Christian Jesus the anti Christ.

TenQ:
Why don't you first address the issue at stake. You can open a thread on Trinity if that is what you want.


By the way:
Why did you not answer my Questions: are you afraid of knowing the truth?

Questions:
1. Do you think it is possible that God be Arrogant ? To whom then will God be arrogant to as one can only be arrogant either to ones peers or superior.

2. Why do you think that God is a Believer ? Do you agree that we take a position of belief only when we are not 100% certain of a conclusion but we have reasonable fact to place our bet on an outcome in the future?

3. If God is the author of Distress , why do we attribute our problems to Satan?

4. Why do you think that the objective of God is to Humiliate us if he actually commanded even the Angels to bow to man?

5. Did Muhammed know what Allah would do to him? If he doesnt as the one showing you the way, can you be sure he has not been deceived?

6. How are you sure that the Greatest of all Deceivers has no decieved you from the way of truth?

According to Rabbi Tovia; a native jew, the development of the Trinity can be traced back to the early Christian theologians who sought to reconcile the teachings of Jesus and the Jewish concept of monotheism with prevailing pagan beliefs.

Psalm 110 is a prophetic passage that has often been subject to mistranslation from Hebrew into different languages. One of the main reasons for these errors is the complexity of the Hebrew language itself, with its rich vocabulary and grammatical intricacies.

"מְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל-אֲדֹנָי שְׁבֵנִי ׀ בְּיִמְנִי ׀ עַד-אֲשֶׁר אֶעֱשֶׂה אֹיְבֶיךָ מִשְׁעַנְתֶּךָ".


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFYlgFDpMHI?si=IImap5VixLQw4AO0

Jehovah speaks to my Lord, my servant, at my right hand, until I make your enemies your support.

Rabbi Tovia Singer responds to this age-old question by demonstrating that the Christian Bible deliberately corrupted the Jewish Scriptures.

Mark 11:3
If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ you say, ‘The Lord has need of it’; and immediately he will send it back here.”

Luke 19:31
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of it.’”

Luke 19:34
They said, “The Lord has need of it.”

TenQ:
Islam complete!?

What a joke!

You can't even guarantee that you are going to paradise (except you kill yourself in Jihad)

Islam is a poor attempt to clone both the Religion of the Jews and Christianity!

I am satisfied with being myself o. It is your Allah Who says that you shouldn't make friends with us Christians and Jews and not us.


Islam blinds you to the fact that
God does NOT need our Worship
Why do you think God need your worship?

TenQ:
You keep on repeating what Christians claimed as if it is your discovery.
Jesus did NOT come to establish any religion : He came to establish a RELATIONSHIP that we mortal men can become SONS of GOD.

Check Carefully, JUDAISM wasn't a name given by either God or Moses . It was coined by people as the Religion of the people of Judah (one of the 12 sons of Jacob).

Why?
God is NOT interested in Religious Names: God is interested in the relationship you have with Him.

Tell me one single Religion name of the Religion from any of the prophets of God you know?

So, you can see how Islam is an invention of a man (Mohammed).


Sorry sir.

Are you aware that neither Judaism nor Christianity claim that God dictated their scriptures?

Qur'an is the only exception because it is made by a man (Mohammed) feigning to be God.

Unfortunately, this claim of Islam about the Qur'an prove that it cannot be from God because of silly mistakes, historical errors, Scientific errors and meaningless phrases which Muslims do not know the meaning.

Allah by the Arab Christians is just a title equivalent to Deity/God in English language.
The name or Identity of the Name of the Allah /Deity/God of the Arab Christians is Yahweh!

Just as the Allah/Deity/God of the Hindu is Brahman

Is it UNTRUE that Allah of you Muslims is a Name/Identity of your Deity/God and not a title!?

Does this mean that the Just as the Allah/Deity/God of the Hindu is Brahman of the Hindus (who speaks Arabic) is the Allah of the Muslims? No sir!

Same way, since you don't know Yahweh (the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Judaism and Christianity), we don't worship nor serve the same Allah/Deity/God.

Do you Muslims worship Yahweh (the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) ?
Is Yahweh one of the 99 names of Allah?

Sunni vs Shia
The fight between you Sunni and the Shia is as foundational as the birth of Islam. I don't use the hadiths of the Shia for you: I only use hadiths the Sunni Muslims believe in (and this you've even rubbished as 99% fake) even though you can't preach in the mosque without these same hadiths. Is your argument that hadiths by Shia Muslims are more accurate than Sunni Muslims?

As per your mosque :
You are free to give it any name you want as Muslims are permitted to use Taqqiya to convert the Gullibles to Islam. Even if you like, call your mosque by the name The Mosque of Jesus Christ it doesn't change anything (Isn't Jesus a prophet of Islam? : same argument! )

In summary your problem with Islam and Muslims is it's completeness having a named way of a life in it's primary book and name of it's followers.

Wow! Can you be satisfied that the creator is perceived and worshipped by his creation the way he wants and not always want to force your view on everyone else?

You are not and can never be everyone else. Be satisfied in being yourself and having your peculiarities.

Jesus never gave the name Christianity.
Jesus didn't come to start a new religion. He came to fulfill the promises of the Old Testament and to bring salvation to all people.
Jesus says he came to fulfill the promises of the Old Testament and to bring salvation to all people.
Judaism is said to be one of the world’s oldest religions, dating back nearly 4,000 years, and is considered to be the original Abrahamic faith.
Judaism (Hebrew: יַהֲדוּת ‎ Yahăḏūṯ) is an Abrahamic, monotheistic, and ethnic religion comprising the collective religious, cultural, and legal tradition and civilization of the Jewish people. It has its roots as an organized religion in the Middle East during the Bronze Age. Modern Judaism evolved from Yahwism, the religion of ancient Israel and Judah, by the late 6th century BC.

The question then is if Jesus didn't bring a new religion and was upholding the religion of old i.e Judaism how come the change to Christianity?

Are you saying your Bible is not from God? If that's the case it makes perfect sense that it has issues much like the Hadith which are also written by man and subject to man's many imperfections.

You know Shia muslim don't accept Sunni hadith and vice versa?

Your problem stems from your rigidity about what muslim means. Do you also say Hausa or Arabic speaking Christians are wrong to call God Allah because it is arabic and related to muslims and Islam?

The subject of this thread is simply because
مسجد مريم أم عيسى عليهما السلام, Masjid Maryam Umm ‘Īsā translated and also written Mary, Mother of Jesus Mosque.
Such change was done as an initiative exemplifying the values of co-existence among religions in the UAE, as well as to honour Mary, Mother of Jesus who is a respected figure in Islam. And you get hypersensitive about it? You forget Abu Dhabi is a prominent tourist and trade centre accomodating different people of the world alongside its rich hydrocarbon industry.
What a pity!

TenQ:
You know the difference between Christians and Muslims?

It is about the truth:
Christians never said Jesus gave the name "Christianity" to any religion. We even tell you that Jesus didn't come to establish a religion: He came to establish a relationship between US and the Father so that we can also be called children of God. We never told you that the Bible was dictated by God or any Angel: the bible books were written by Men.

Unfortunately, for you Muslims: the spirit of Satan made you tell so many lies that without the lies, Islam crumbles.

Adam is a Muslim, Abraham is a Muslim even Jesus and Mary were Muslims: can you see your lies?
When we show you your own hadiths, you reject it: why?
Because of lies! The Quran is the exact words of Allah only for us to begin to see senseless things which you defend senselessly!

The mosques name was written in English because of the target audience for the purpose of Taqiyya. That Christians would lose their guard and think you love us , when Allah expressly gave you command not to make friends with Jews and Christians

At the barest minimum Islam and Muslim are in the Quran revealed through Muhammad.
Muslims say we follow the religion of Abraham which is Hanif. See Q2:135
Hanif is a pure monotheistic belief.

I know your intent Q2:120 and need not your approval.

Jesus whom you follow never said Christian or Christianity while he was alive. Funny Christ comes from the Greek word Christos.
Paul first used this innit.

Again! This thread is:

Re: This Mosque In Abu Dhabi, UAE Will Shock You.

TenQ:
Muslims will even throw the words of their prophet and Allah under the bus to win an argument!

The Question is very simple: show us any prophet of God that used the word Islam or Muslim?

You can't find even a single one!?

It simply means that the words Muslim or Islam was a creation of Mohammed!

Who brought sex into this discussion? What has sex got to do with Paul and Barnabas meeting the 12 disciples of Jesus?

Do we now see who is obsessed with sex?
Is there any specific claim of intercourse in Paradise from Islamic script or your pervert inferences?

See how feeble you are reducing eternity to a national pledge and anthem. How do they affect my eternity? Oh you find another human political and material thing to argue about? Get a life!

Again this thread is about Re: This Mosque In Abu Dhabi, UAE Will Shock You.

TenQ:
Did Christians write your hadiths for you?
Did I made conjectures of hadiths not in your religious books.

I have given you two different sources:
One from Al-Siyuti and the other from Ibn Kathir! Did both of them conspire to write or collect the hadiths?

Are you saying that truth is measured only by chains of Narrative?. Please what is the chain of narration of both the Nigerian National anthem and national pledge?


Why is Mohammed obsessed with sex?

You didn't answer this my question :

Jesus said in paradise,
no one will marry wives :
Mohammed says the contrary that
Muslims will have multiple wives

Who should know about paradise better, Jesus or Mohammed on this case and why is the contradiction.


Is this also fake hadith that Muslims will have wives in paradise?

Focus please. The Quran was revealed in Arabic, still widely read in arabic and it's verses still used for prayer in Arabic

TenQ:
Muslims will even throw the words of their prophet and Allah under the bus to win an argument!

The Question is very simple: show us any prophet of God that used the word Islam or Muslim?

You can't find even a single one!?

It simply means that the words Muslim or Islam was a creation of Mohammed!

Your obsession with hadith of highly questionable nature is fantastic. Is it the Opium you are hooked on.

My argument is infallible because meeting with apostles doesn't specify:
1. how many apostles were met with and
2. Both Paul and Barnabas became apostles after Jesus departure.
Conveniently they back each other up.

Are you certain of the statement you relate from Muhammad? Present the chain of narration and quality of the alleged narrators or is this from the Quran?

TenQ:
Just simply admit that your argument of 3/12 is a conjecture you manufactured.

Is Mary the mother of Jesus important indeed or is it for the purpose of sex with Mohammed?

Let me ask you two simple questions
1. Jesus said in paradise, no one will marry wives : Mohammed says the contrary that Muslims will have multiple wives
Who should know about paradise better, Jesus or Mohammed on this case and why is the contradiction.

2. Mohammed claimed that he would marry Mary the Mother of Jesus in paradise : Even if there is marriage in paradise, why do you think Joseph would be demoted or prevented from marrying Mary but Mohammed would?

Ibn Kathir, Qisas al-Anbiya,
Mohammed said:
"The Messenger of God ... said, ‘God married me in paradise to Mary the daughter of 'Imran and to the wife of Pharaoh and the sister of Moses.’"

Ibn Kathir, Qisas al-Anbiya (Cairo: Dar al-Kutub, 1968/1388), p. 381- as cited in Aliah Schleifer's Mary The Blessed Virgin of Islam (Fons Vitae; ISBN: 1887752021; July 1, 1998), p. 64;
https://wikiislam.github.io/wiki/Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars-Muhammad.html

Al-Siyuti (6/395)
Muhammad said:
“In heaven, Mary mother of Jesus, will be one of my wives.”

https://wikiislam.github.io/wiki/Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars-Muhammad.html

Muhammad's definition or what was revealed to him?

People of the book? Which book? Definitely I know not of any they published after the Quran and we can not vouch so much for what was revealed to them before. Haven undergone different journeys of loss and translation to other languages from the original.

Whatever you have in Aramaic or close to this is but from a translation of Greek.

You should check your own confusion or journey back in time perhaps spiritually to have a conversation with those you mention.

TenQ:
You have not answered the question as you are still bringing Mohammed's definition of Islam or Muslim to bare.

I said:
Can you please tell us how the people of the Book define the Terms Muslim and Islam?

In case you are confused: people like Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Jesus etc. must have defined or used the term Muslim or Islam at least during their lifetime!


At least such names like Islam or Muslim should exist in their religion : don't you think so?

Wrong again. Actual; in Jesus presence,disciples please not the filler uppers that came after his depature.

One of the main arguments against considering Barnabas a true apostle is the fact that he was not one of the original twelve disciples chosen by Jesus. Very much like Paul?
Maybe not!


Thus, with fervent zeal, and sanguine expectations, the apostle Paul attempted to join himself to the disciples of Christ while he was in Jerusalem (Acts 9:26).
Why so much desperation on the part of Paul?

As the Jews hated him (Paul), so the Christians suspected him. His escape had been too hurried to allow of his bringing "letters of commendation." Whatever distant rumor might have reached them of his conduct at Damascus or retirement in Arabia, they could not believe that Paul was really a disciple.

Barnabas, "the son of consolation" (Acts 4:36), already known to us as a generous contributor of his wealth to the poor (Acts 4:36), made a difference in the life of Paul.

Who wrote the acts?
Did the apostles also follow the money?

In any case you still have shown only 3 original apostle meetings. Saying he met with apostles and not naming all is rather ambiguous Mr.


Our discussions had been about the Byzantines and Muslim wars which isn't even the subject of this thread; This Mosque In Abu Dhabi, UAE Will Shock You

Mary(am) the mother of Isa a.s is honoured in Islam and amongst women with a chapter in the Quran named aftee her.

TenQ:
I have shown you clearly that Peter, the supposed head of the Apostles after Christ endorsed the writings of Paul.

Let me now prove your 3/12 doctrine a lie.

Acts 9:26-27:
"And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus."

You can clearly see how Barnabas took Peter to see only 3 out of 12 Apostles.


Sorry sir!

Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah ." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]." [ Q3: 64 ]
Him here being Allah

And strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. [b]Allah named you "Muslims" [/b]before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give zakah and hold fast to Allah . He is your protector; and excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper. [Q22: 78]

TenQ:
This is how Mohammed's followers define the Terms Muslim and Islam.


Can you please tell us how the people of the Book define the Terms Muslim and Islam?

In case you are confused: people like Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Jesus etc. must have defined or used the term Muslim or Islam at least during their lifetime!

Paul is reported to have met a maximum of 3 out of 12 disciples. Even if we know Judas Iscariot is said to have died (some support that he may have been the one crucified), as a science oriented person are the 3 a good enough representation of 11 or 12. This is not even up to 30%.

Was Paul not a Pharisee? After setting Jesus up he came to finish up the emerging movement.
O di egwu!

TenQ:
So you are aware that Paul was with the Apostles of Jesus and he interacted well with them.

Here is what Peter wrote about the teachings of Paul.

2Pet 3:15-16:
"And account that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given to him has written to you; As also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction."

Sorry sir!

Do all who identify as Christians say Jesus is the son of God in a begotten sense?

Is Son of God not a phrase for righteousness?

As not all Christians say Jesus is a son of God, so it is for the Jews who called Uzair the son of God.

A generalized statement.

1. As of the time Allah gave the instruction of collecting Jizya from the Christians, the Byzantines were NOT under the jurisprudence of the Arabs. This can only happen WHEN the Muslims invade the land of the Byzantines, conquer them and force them to pay Jizya to live.

Meaning that, it is a Big LIE that Jizya is protection money Christian should pay Muslims.

2. You said:

Where the Byzantines under the rules of the Arabs as of the time of Mohammed?
If NOT, then you are the one altering the truth.

You said:


No sir!
If this was true, then you have to present some evidence of the word Muslim or Islam existing BEFORE Muhammad.

If you can't :

A person who submit to both Mohammed and Allah!
This can be proved easily from the shahada: can anyone become a Muslim without submission to Mohammed and Allah?


You said:



How do you know Jesus never mentioned Ezra? Do you have records of what Jesus taught?

Allah did NOT say that
"Some Jews say Ezra or Uzair is the Son of Allah"
Allah said:
"The Jews say Ezra or Uzair is the Son of Allah"

There is either a big ERROR by Allah or a MISTAKE or FALSEHOOD! Your pick.

Jesus was a Jew: He must also have said Ezra or Uzair is the Son of Allah or the Qur'an is False.

A muslim is an adherent of Islam.

الِإسْلَام is the submission to the will of Allah/Almighty God

The word 'Islam' in Arabic means submission to the will of God. Followers of Islam are called Muslims.

Aha! Do you really have your facts right?

The Byzantines and Sasanians were rival powers who fought each other for supremacy in the Middle East. Although the conflict between the two powers began during the 6th century AD, it is in fact a continuation of a much longer rivalry which was started by their predecessors during the 1st century BC. The Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628 AD is considered to be the most devastating of the wars fought between the two powers. Moreover, it is also the final conflict between them, as the Sasanian Empire was completely conquered by the Muslims shortly after the war concluded.
The Byzantine Empire was also severely weakened and exhausted by the war, which contributed to the loss of much of their land to the Islamic Rashidun Caliphate.
Nevertheless, the Byzantines, unlike its Persian rivals, were not entirely destroyed by the Muslims, and the two were engaged in a series of wars that lasted till the 11th century.
From the above I ask is a weakened force in any position of control?

When was Quran 9:29 revealed?

Where the weakened Byzantine forces outsude the Asian/Arabian territory or didn't they live and repeatedly trade there.

Remember their journeys there started from when Christians were persecuted in Rome up till the Edict of Milan then there was the persecution between the sects.

Were the Byzantines not in an area governed by Muslims? After Muhammad pbuh passed enter the Rashidun Caliphate.

Paul, one of the most influential figures in the early Christian Church.

According to the New Testament, Paul encountered Peter, James, and John during his ministry. In Galatians 1:18-19, Paul explicitly mentions meeting with Peter. Additionally, in Galatians 2:9, he writes about his interaction with James and John.
Paul's zealous dedication to the Jewish law played a significant role in his understanding of the gospel.
Christianity represents a departure from Jewish law in many significant ways. Central to Christian theology is the belief in Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Savior, which led to the formation of a new covenant. This new covenant, believers argue, supersedes the need for strict adherence to Jewish law.

Are we seeing reasonable points of question?
Paul's emphasis on themes like salvation by faith and the role of grace in salvation differed from Jesus' teachings.

Paul's writings are seen as a means of interpreting and applying Jesus' teachings to the specific context of the early church however is he better to interpret than the action disciples of Jesus?

[quote author=TenQ post=125372700]Two or three Muslims left their Arabian territory and went into some cities of the Byzantines to ask them to follow Mohammed and his Allah and they were executed. No one knows if the presented the message rashly or not.


Mohammed decided to wage that war against them according to his own reasons.

An emissary, Al-Harith bin Umair Al-Azdi (R.A.) was sent with a message to Busra, currently in Syria. On his way he was intercepted by Shurahbil bin Amrul-Ghassani, the governor of Al-Balqa and representative of Byzantine Emperor and bruttaly killed.

Killing envoys and messengers used to be regarded as the most awful crime at that time and amounted to the degree of war declaration.

[quote author=TenQ post=125372700]You only pay tax to a Nation where you live don't you?
Tax varies from 10-30% of taxable income for ALL businesses and citizens who chose to live in a Nation..

Were they asked to pay tax in non muslim governed regions? Why are you altering the truth?

[quote author=TenQ post=125372700]Can you explain :
The Byzantines did not live within the Arabian nation, therefore why should they pay the Jizya?

Did the Byzantines not go far and wide conquering regions and getting/forcing following from the inhabits of these regions. Was Shurahbil not a member of the Byzantine army? Byzantines, were a prominent force in the eastern Mediterranean region from the 4th to the 15th century. It is essential to consider the extent to which they lived in and around Arabia. They did engaged in various interactions with the Arab tribes and had influence in the regions adjacent to Arabia.
The Arabian Peninsula was primarily under the control of Arab tribes during the Byzantine era. [b]However, the Byzantines had frequent interactions, both peaceful and hostile, with these tribes. [/b]The Arab tribes, particularly those in the outskirts of the Byzantine Empire, acted as strategic allies, trade partners, or sometimes as adversaries. The Byzantines had military expeditions into the Arabian Peninsula and established garrison towns along the borders.
Byzantine influence can be seen in their ties with the kingdoms and cities of the Levant, Egypt, and the Near East, which played significant roles in trade and cultural exchange with the Arabian Peninsula.

[quote author=TenQ post=125372700]A person who submit to both Mohammed and Allah!

Jesus wasn't a Christian and couldn't have identified as a Christian. He didn't even come to establish a religion but a relationship with the Father by which we mortal men can become sons of God:
The Disciples and a followers of Jesus are the Christians.

A Muslim is a person who has dedicated his worship exclusively to God. A follower of Islam.
Islam is stated as an accepted religion in the Quran during the lifetime of Muhammad not a later nomenclature.

Who is a Jew?
Was Jesus not a Jew?
Did Jesus also claim that Ezra was the Son of Allah?

A name Jesus never mentioned. Did he fellowship with leaders of Judaism in the Jewish Temples?
And your following question it has been established that it wasn't all Jews that called Uzair son of God. There is no consensus that this is Ezra.

Will address Paul in following

The first Battle is that of Mutah?
What led to it?
The second is that of Tabuk and the question is what battle was fought?
How much of the tax you pay assuming you pay goes into your protection wherever you live?
Paul was invited in fellowship or was convinced by his alleged vision?
How many apostles commissioned Paul?
Who is a Muslim can you define this?
Jesus surely was not and did not identify as a Christian.

TenQ:
It seems you are more comfortable with the history of the Byzantines than looking at the history around the revelation of the particular ayah of the Qur'an.

The Question was:
The two wars of Mohammed to the Byzantines was organised and led by the Muslims AGAINST the Byzantines or was it the Byzantines that led war expeditions against the Muslims?

You said:

So, what is Jizya?
Protection fee of karfirs?!

Allah and his Apostle prefer to collect money from us than convert us to Islam.

You said:

Paul became a Christian while he was persecuting the Christians. However he was invited in fellowship with the other disciples AND they commissioned him to preach to the Gentiles.

Acts 15:22:
"Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brothers:"
Acts 15:25: "It seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,"



Acts 20:1:
"And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called to him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia."

Acts 20:7:
"And on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached to them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight."

Acts 21:4:
"And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem."



Do you need more evidence that Paul was with the Apostles and Disciples of Jesus?


If Jesus was a Muslim, were His disciples also Muslims?

False claim! I didn't write this:
The expansion of Byzantine Christianity was intimately connected with the political ambitions of the Byzantine emperors, eager always to spread their influence throughout the Balkan and Russian lands, to Syria, the Holy Land, Egypt, and even the coasts of Italy.
As Constantinople grew in power, other independent ecclesiastical centers, such as Antioch and Alexandria, diminished. In time, especially through heresies and the ravages of the Arab conquests, Alexandria and Antioch were reduced to nothing, and Constantinople stood indisputably as the supreme head of all the Orthodox Churches. This paved the way for one liturgical rite and one language (Greek) within the vast confines of the Byzantine Empire and left the non-Byzantine liturgical rites, such as the Antiochene (Syrian) and Alexandrian (Coptic), to develop only among the Oriental Orthodox Christians who modified the content and substituted their own national languages.

In 330 A.D., the first Christian ruler of the Roman empire, Constantine the Great, transferred the ancient imperial capital from Rome to the city of Byzantion located on the easternmost territory of the European continent, at a major intersection of east-west trade. The emperor renamed this ancient port city Constantinople (“the city of Constantine”) in his own honor; it was also called the “New Rome,” owing to the city’s new status as political capital of the Roman empire. The Christian, ultimately Greek-speaking state ruled from that city would come to be called Byzantium by modern historians, although the empire’s medieval citizens described themselves as “Rhomaioi,” Romans, and considered themselves the inheritors of the ancient Roman empire.

The Beginning of Byzantium
The first golden age of the empire, the Early Byzantine period, extends from the founding of the new capital into the 700s. Christianity replaced the gods of antiquity as the official religion of the culturally and religiously diverse state in the late wood. The practice of Christian monasticism developed in the fourth century, and continued to be an important part of the Byzantine faith, spreading from Egypt to all parts of the empire.
https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/byza/hd_byza.htm

Already under the reign of Constantine I, Christian heretics were being persecuted; beginning in the late 4th century, the ancient pagan religions were also actively suppressed. In the view of many historians, the Constantinian shift turned Christianity from a persecuted religion into a religion which was capable of persecuting and sometimes eager to persecute.

Christianity began as a movement within Second Temple Judaism, but the two religions gradually diverged over the first few centuries of the Christian Era.Today, differences of opinion vary between denominations in both religions, but the most important distinction is Christian acceptance and Jewish non-acceptance of Jesus as the Messiah prophesized in the Hebrew Bible and Jewish tradition.
Did they not hate Islam for seeming to share some principles with Judaism.


In the view of many historians, the Constantinian shift turned Christianity from a persecuted religion into a religion which was capable of persecuting and sometimes eager to persecute.

Christianity in around the 4th Century managed to spread not only within the Roman Empire but to Germanic tribes beyond the frontier of the Empire like the Goths and Vandals (even if they initially adopted 'Arian' rather than Catholic Christianity), to Mesopotamia and to Ethiopia, which was [b]never conquered [/b]by the Romans and established its own independent kingdom.


Allah doesn't prefer to collect money from you. There is no compulsion in religion. You opt not to join our social defense but are fit and leave with us, you should contribute to the social peace unless you are unable to.

How many of the disciples of Jesus did Paul meet and lead? Did he not become a Jesus follower after the ascension? Would his following claims not ease his political machinations?

...only one possible explanation remains for the Arab success-and that was the spirit of Islam...

The generous terms that the invading armies usually offered made their faith accessible to the conquered populations. And if it was a new and upstart faith, its administration by simple and honest men was preferable to the corruption and persecution that were the norm in more civilized empire
George F. Nafziger, Mark W. Walton, Islam at War: A History, 2003

TenQ:
See how you twist history.

Islam came over 600 years AFTER Christianity had expanded that even Waraqa who lived amongst the Arabs was a Christian. However, it is this same Christians who needed to expand by conquest!?


The two wars of Mohammed to the Byzantines was organised and led by the Muslims AGAINST the Byzantines or was it the Byzantines that led war expeditions against the Muslims?

Christians don't need to conquer to spread the Love of Christ as it is NOT part of our Doctrine nor is it found ANYWHERE in the Bible .


Why is it that Allah and his Mohammed prefer to collect money from us rather than convert us to Islam?

If Jesus was a Muslim, were His disciples also Muslims?

Citizens of the Byzantine Empire strongly identified as Christians, just as they identified as Romans. Emperors, seeking to unite their realm under one faith, recognized Christianity as the state religion and endowed the church with political and legal power. [/[b]b]Under some emperors, pagans were ordered to attend church and be baptized, and Jews and Samaritans were barred from receiving dowries or inheritances unless they converted.

The Byzantine army played a crucial role in spreading Christianity in enmity to Islam during the ancient times. As the Eastern Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire was one of the major powers in the Mediterranean region, sharing borders with various Islamic civilizations. The Byzantine army was not only responsible for the defense of the empire but also for actively promoting Christianity as a way to resist the spread of Islam.

One way in which the Byzantine army spread Christianity was through military conquests and campaigns. [/b]Numerous battles were fought between the Byzantine army and various Islamic forces, such as the Arab Caliphates. These military campaigns were often driven by the belief that a Christian victory would secure the dominance of Byzantine Christianity and halt the advance of Islam. The Byzantine army not only fought to protect their territories but also aimed to regain lost territories and spread Christianity into regions that had fallen under Islamic rule.

Al-Maududi says we Christians and Jews are [b]guilty of Shirk and thus states that Jihad should be waged against us . Did you not read this from his tafsir?

1. When Mohammed fled from Mecca to the Christian king Najashi of Abyssinia for protection they were not of wrong doing were they?
2. Why was it proper to take refuge with wrong doers in Abyssinia while you were weak only to seek their Humiliation and destruction when you became strong?
3. You may accuse the Jews of being hostile to the Muslims during the time of Mohammed BUT what examples do you have of Christian hostility?



Note:
1. The Tabuk confrontation, also known as the Expedition of Tabuk, took place in 630 AD.
2. It was a military expedition led by the Islamic prophet Muhammad against the Byzantine Empire's northern Arabian territories.
3. The confrontation aimed to deter perceived potential Byzantine attacks on the nascent Muslim community in Medina.
4. Muhammad mobilized a large number of followers for this expedition, which was notable for its challenging conditions, including harsh weather and scarcity of resources.
4. The Byzantine forces, however, did not engage in battle, and the Muslims returned to Medina without conflict.

Please learn your history. You Muslims were the aggressor here not the Byzantines.

If you think the Byzantines attacked Muslims in Medina I challenge you bring forth your evidence

The cunning fox! When you say paraphrased in your write up is it yours or you put this claim on soneone else who didn't state so. Furthermore even if the words humiliation and subdued occur after the phrase pay the tribute does this translate to humiliation tax. Can you state facts as is and not impose your own words/meaning into it without distinguishing?
Isn't this the way the true word of God gets corrupted?

Now you look at the Tabuk expedition in isolation and ignore two other battles in 629 and early 630. You limit yourself to winning the battle and loose the war?

The Battle of Mu’tah, fought in 629 AD, was triggered by the assassination of a Muslim emissary. The Byzantines were reoccupying territory following the peace accord between Emperor Heraclius and the Sasanid general Shahrbaraz in July 629. This led to an attack against the Roman Empire, the Ghassanids, and the allies of Banu Jafna.

Is it a lie that throughout history, the Byzantine Empire engaged in numerous conflicts and wars, only to later disregard the peace treaties it had agreed upon?

You make cheeky claim to Muhammad pbuh in Ethiopia, was he personally there or a delegation sent? Did King Najash not hear the charges of the pagans and listen to Jafar with respect to what 'new religion' they practiced?
Did he state: Your Prophet is welcome. I admit that he is the Apostle about whom Jesus had given good news. Live wherever you like in my country.”?
Do you deny according a divine status to Jesus along with the almighty or will you rather look at why the Thalmud and Torah feel he didn't fulfil the prophecy of a messiah? Not saying it is right to accord divinity to the messiah please.

Is Al-Madudi wrong on his labelling of Christians and Jews as being guilty of Shirk?

Allah not Alkah statement on the payment of Jizyah is very much in order perhaps your dislike of paying the Jizyah will allow you to truthfully reason.

Was the King unjust? Being Just is closest to being God fearing furthermore the statement attributed to him above I trust you will counter.

Did Muhammad invite Heraclius to Islam? Did the members of the Byzantine army subscribe to any faith?

TenQ:
Almost every verse of the Qur'an has its historical source isn't it?

Tell me,
1. Is Allah's commands in the Qur'an just for the time of Mohammed or for all ages?
2. What is the basis to imply the abrogation of Quran9:29?
Quran9:29:
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture (Christians and Jews) - [fight] until they give the jizyah (Humiliating Tax) willingly while they are humbled."


Part of what you didn't add to your basis was that this verse was given to Muslims as a compensation for their loss of Revenue form the Kaaba. For the mushriks were prohibited not only from the performance of Hajj and attendance at the AlMasjid-AlHaram but also from entering into its sacred precincts.

Qur'an 9:28 (paraphrased)
Believers, those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity are unclean. So, after the expiry of this year, let them not even go near the Sacred Mosque. And should you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you out of His bounty, if He wills. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Allah then gave a way out to make money: Fight those who who do not believe in Allah including the Jews and Christians.

Qur'an 9:29 (paraphrased)
Those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day - even though they were given the scriptures, and who do not hold as unlawful that which Allah and His Messenger have declared to be unlawful, and who do not follow the true religion - fight against them until they pay tribute out of their hand and are utterly subdued.


This is the proper historical basis after the battle of Hunain




Again

1. Is Allah's commands in the Qur'an just for the time of Mohammed or for all ages?
2. What is your basis to imply the abrogation of Quran9:29?
3. If the Jizya imposed on Jews and Christians are out of love (for our protection), why must we feel subdued in appreciating your kindness?
4. Is Maududi Al-Qur'an Tafsir Qur'an 9:29 wrong?
5. Is Tafsir Ibn Kathir Qur'an 9:29 wrong?

You use the term abrogate?
In what sense? Which verse abrogates? What is the context of application?

Did Madudi translate Jizya as humiliating tax or you?

Again you use the term humiliating tax. Indeed a wrong doer may feel some humiliation on being purnished however who is being purnished here?

Quote the verses directly as translated not paraphrased and name the translator. Your paraphrase reeks of your characteristic manipulation.

Is the humiliation a result of having their wrong doings curtailed? You seem to adopt the narcissist position of victim here.

While some Christians may argue for victimhood based on their perceived marginalization or discrimination throughout history, it is important to consider the historical context and acknowledge that the Tabuk affair was an act of aggression directed towards the Islamic community. Therefore, claiming victim status based on this event is unwarranted as it fails to recognize the broader historical realities.

The Tabuk affair was a direct military confrontation initiated by a Christian army against the Muslim community during a time when religious tensions were high. The conflict was not one-sided, with both Muslims and Christians engaging in hostile actions. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the historical context surrounding the Tabuk affair. Christianity had been established as a dominant and politically influential religion in various regions, whereas Islam was emerging as a newly established faith. Consequently, the Christian invasion of the Islamic holy city served as a threat to the religious autonomy and security of the Muslim community.

The verseQ9:29 is often misinterpreted due to its historical context and language complexities. Madudi, a renowned Islamic scholar, provides a comprehensive exegesis on this verse to address the misunderstandings surrounding it. In his interpretation, Madudi emphasizes the defensive nature of Islam and the specific historical circumstances under which this verse was revealed.

Quran 9:29 instructs Muslims to fight against those who oppress them and threaten their existence. He clarifies that the verse does not promote an offensive or unprovoked aggression, but rather stands as a defensive measure.

Madudi further highlights that the verse refers to the specific conflict between the Muslims of Medina and the Byzantine Empire, which sought to exterminate the nascent Islamic community. Thus, the verse restricts the application of force to only those cases where Muslims face direct persecution.

In his exegesis, Madudi provides a balanced view of Quran 9:29, shedding light on its historical context and true meaning. His interpretation clarifies misconceptions and puts to rest any claims of Islam promoting violence. By highlighting the defensive nature of Islam and the specific circumstances of the verse's revelation, Madudi firmly establishes the intended message to be a call for self-defense, rather than aggression. This analysis encourages a more nuanced understanding of the Quran, fostering peace and interfaith dialogue.

This verse addresses the Muslim community during a time of conflict with the polytheists and People of the Book.
He argues that Jizya, a tax imposed on non-Muslim citizens in an Islamic state, is not a discriminatory measure but rather a means to maintain social stability and security. Maududi emphasizes that Jizya does not target all non-Muslims but specifically aims to finance the protection provided to non-Muslim minorities within the Islamic state.

TenQ:
Are you saying that your scholars such as Maududi and Al-Jalalyn telling lies?


Allah Says:
Quran9:29:
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture (Christians and Jews) - [fight] until they give the jizyah (Humiliating Tax) willingly while they are humbled."

Allah is simply saying
1. Fight the non Muslims AND
2. For the Christians and Jews, give them the OPTION of Jizya if they don't want to die.
3. The Jews and Christians should be made to willingly PAY the Jizya in Humiliation.

So that you see your lies
1. Maududi Al-Qur'an Tafsir Qur'an 9:29
a. Though the people of the Book professed to believe in Allah and the Hereafter, in fact they believed in neither.
b. But according to this definition of shirk both the Christians and the Jews were guilty of shirk as has been made plain in the verses that follow: therefore their profession of belief in Allah was meaningless. Likewise they did not really believe in the Hereafter, in spite of the fact that they believed in Resurrection.
c. The second reason why Jihad should be waged against them is that they did not adopt the Law sent down by Allah through His Messenger.

Al-Maududi, even classifies Christians and Jews as guilty of Shirk and therefore should be treated as infidels.



2. Tafsir Ibn Kathir Qur'an 9:29
(Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth among the People of the Scripture, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.) Therefore, when People of the Scriptures disbelieved in Muhammad , they had no beneficial faith in any Messenger or what the Messengers brought. Rather, they followed their religions because this conformed with their ideas, lusts and the ways of their forefathers, not because they are Allah's Law and religion. Had they been true believers in their religions, that faith would have directed them to believe in Muhammad , because all Prophets gave the good news of Muhammad's advent and commanded them to obey and follow him. Yet when he was sent, they disbelieved in him, even though he is the mightiest of all Messengers. Therefore, they do not follow the religion of earlier Prophets because these religions came from Allah, but because these suit their desires and lusts. Therefore, their claimed faith in an earlier Prophet will not benefit them because they disbelieved in the master, the mightiest, the last and most perfect of all Prophets . Hence Allah's statement,
