advocatejare:You have a shallow comprehension of words. "Allah and his apostle knows best" is equating Allah to Muhammad? Muhammad is the one who taught us everything in our religion as revealed to him by Allah. So how is this sentence incorrect? Allah says, “Muhammad is no more than a Messenger.” (3:144) The Prophet Muhammad said, “Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians exaggerated in their praise of the son of Maryam. For indeed I am a slave, so say, ‘The slave of Allah and His Messenger.’” Bukhari 3261 Liars should perish in hell. |

advocatejare:How does this mean equating his knowledge is Allah's unlimited knowledge? He (saw) do ask his companions this type of questions to teach them. It is a question he already knows answer to it. So his companion do say "only Allah and his Apostle knows". This type of expression is in every language, for example i may say ask my students 'what did i eat this morning? they may replied 'only Allah and you knows what you eat' so this type of expression does not in any way mean equation! Furthermore there are many Quran and hadith proofs that shows our Prophet Muhammad has limited knowledge like other humans, except what Allah reveal to him. Lastly this type of hadith is very numerous in hundreds, it seems you are new to it keep doing learning on here! Proof from Quran Q.46:9 قُلْ مَا كُنتُ بِدْعًا مِّنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ وَمَآ أَدْرِى مَا يُفْعَلُ بِى وَلَا بِكُمْۖ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ Say, "I am not something more original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner." This is Allah teaching prophet Muhammad SAW to give this reply to to people: Which means, `I am not the first Messenger who ever came to the world. Rather, Messengers came before me. Therefore, I am not an unprecedented incident and i know nothing except what is revealed to me. Second Proof Q.17.85 وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلرُّوحِۖ قُلِ ٱلرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّى وَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little." The Ruh (spirit) Al-Bukhari recorded in his Tafsir of this Ayah that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, "While I was walking with the Prophet on a farm, and he was resting on a palm-leaf stalk, some Jews passed by. Some of them said to the others, `Ask him about the Ruh.' Some of them said, `What urges you to ask him about that' Others said, `Do not ask him, lest he gives you a reply which you do not like.' But they said, `Ask him.' So they asked him about the Ruh. The Prophet kept quiet and did not give them an answer, and I knew that he was receiving revelation, so I stayed where I was. When the revelation was complete, the Prophet said: ﻭَﻳَﺴْـَﻠُﻮﻧَﻚَ ﻋَﻦِ ﺍﻟﺮُّﻭﺡِ ﻗُﻞِ ﺍﻟﺮُّﻭﺡُ ﻣِﻦْ ﺃَﻣْﺮِ ﺭَﺑِّﻰ (And they ask you concerning the Ruh (the spirit). Say: "The Ruh (the spirit) is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord...'') In many occasions like this when a question is asked from Prophet Muhammad if he didn't know it he used to wait till when a reveation will be sent concerning the Question! This shows his humanhood and humbleness. |

[The Hadith you Quoted is Hadith- Mawdoo (fabricated hadith) which is worse than Daeef (weak hadith) ALL Hadith scholars testified to its fakeness! The hadith is so very fake!!! quote author=true2god post=97163926]al-Hakim in his Mustadrak, Baihaqi in Dalayl an-Nubuwah, Tabarani in his Kabeer, Abu Na’eem in his Hilya and ibn Asakir in Tarikh Damishq report from Sayyiduna Ameer al-Mu’mineen ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab Farooq al-A’dham (radiyallahu ta`ala anhu) that: The Prophet of Allah (sallallahu `alayhi wasallam) said: “Allah said: When Adam made the mistake, he asked: O Allah! I ask you for the sake of Muhammad to forgive me. Allah said: O Adam! How do you recognize Muhammad when I have not yet created him? Adam said: O Allah! When you created me and blew into me the spirit, I lifted my head and saw written on the `Arsh ‘La ilaaha illallah Muhammadur rasoolullah’. So, I got to know that you would only join your name with him who is most beloved to you. Allah said: O Adam! You have spoken the truth. Indeed Muhammad is more beloved to me than anything and when you asked me for his sake, I pardoned you. If Muhammad was not in existence, I would not have created you” (Also from Imam Subki in Shifa as-Siqam and Shihab in Naseem) Source: (Malik's Muwatta' 3.14.56 & 3.14.58) Link: https://eshaykh.com/hadith/were-it-not-for-you/[/quote] |

Realismailakabir:Damage control. Answer the simple question. Who knows best? Allah only or Allah and his Messenger? |
| Re: Is It Permissible For A Muslim To Wish A Christian A Merry Christmas? by advocatejare(m): 10:17pm On Dec 17, 2020 |
AntiChristian:Yes because that statement means that Muhammad was as wise as Allah and vice versa Answer the simple question. Who knows best? Allah only or Allah and his Messenger? Muhammad is the one who taught us everything in our religion as revealed to him by Allah. So how is this sentence incorrect?Liar, Allah never spoke to Muhammad. Allah never found Muhammad worthy of being spoken to. Allah never revealed anything to Muhammad. It was an unknown jinn who waraqa erroneously suggested was Namus and whom muhammad confused as jibreel was the one that spoke to Muhammad. |
| Re: Is It Permissible For A Muslim To Wish A Christian A Merry Christmas? by AntiChristian: 5:29am On Dec 18, 2020 |
advocatejare:It's not good to be ignorant and boastful at the same time. Allah knows all things. Muhammad only knows what was revealed to him as he's unlettered. No human can ever compose the Qu'ran. When the Prophet was alive, no one knows the religion than him on earth as Allah's revelations come to him. So he knows best as far as Allah reveals to him. Liar, Allah never spoke to Muhammad. Allah never found Muhammad worthy of being spoken to. Allah never revealed anything to Muhammad. It was an unknown jinn who waraqa erroneously suggested was Namus and whom muhammad confused as jibreel was the one that spoke to Muhammad.Where is your proof of Waraqah's error? You just keep dilly-dallying from one argument to another like someone being chased. |

AntiChristian:How do you reach this conclusion that the hadith is not saheeh? You can't just brush aside an hadith because you don't like the content. And note, many imams/sheiks have quoted from this hadith of Maliki to support their claims. Besides, Muslims collected the hadith and not Christians or Jews. And since you don't accept this hadith, tell me what makes you think it is not sahih? |
| Re: Is It Permissible For A Muslim To Wish A Christian A Merry Christmas? by true2god: 6:23am On Dec 18, 2020 |
Realismailakabir:If you read the hadith again you will see that Mohammed never corrected him when the rider of the camel answered Mohammed that 'Allah and his messenger know best". What he meant was that no one knows except Allah and his messenger. The man could have simply say "Allah knows best" but he placed Mohammed in a preeminence position, together with Allah, the same way muslims do today. |
| Re: Is It Permissible For A Muslim To Wish A Christian A Merry Christmas? by advocatejare(m): 6:24am On Dec 18, 2020 |
AntiChristian:You're yet to answer the simple question asked Who knows best? Allah only or Allah and his Messenger? No human can ever compose the Qu'ran.Liar Umar has told us how he was the one inspiring your fictitious Allah to reveal the Quran to the false Prophet. Anything Umar desired, he only had to say it to Muhammad and boom, Muhammad would claim that Allah has revealed it. "Narrated By 'Umar (bin Al-Khattab) My Lord agreed with me in three things: 1. I said,"O Allah's Apostle, I wish we took the station of Abraham as our praying place (for some of our prayers). So came the Divine Inspiration: And take you (people) the station of Abraham as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers e.g.two Rakat of Tawaf of Ka'ba)". (2.125) 2. And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I wish you ordered your wives to cover themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk to them.' So the verse of the veiling of the women was revealed. 3. Once the wives of the Prophet made a united front against the Prophet and I said to them, 'It may be if he (the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allah) will give him instead of you wives better than you.' So this verse (the same as I had said) was revealed." (66.5). -Sahih Bukhari 1:8:395 Anything Muhammad wanted to do that he knew would raise eyebrows of the people, he would simply use Allah as a scape goat by claiming that Allah was the one that inspired him like when Muhammad conceived in his heart to marry the wife of Zaid while they were still married and how he eventually married her and how after the wedding, he sent his guest away by hiding behind a curtain and claiming to have revelation from Allah to send them away: Sahih Bukhari 7:62:95 Narrated By Anas bin Malik I was ten years old when Allah's Apostle arrived at Medina. My mother and aunts used to urge me to serve the Prophet regularly, and I served him for ten years. When the Prophet died I was twenty years old, and I knew about the order of Al-Hijab (veiling of ladies) more than any other person when it was revealed. It was revealed for the first time when Allah's Apostle had consummated his marriage with Zainab bint Jahsh. When the day dawned, the Prophet was a bridegroom and he invited the people to a banquet, so they came, ate, and then all left except a few who remained with the Prophet for a long time. The Prophet got up and went out, and I too went out with him so that those people might leave too. The Prophet proceeded and so did I, till he came to the threshold of 'Aisha's dwelling place. Then thinking that these people have left by then, he returned and so did I along with him till he entered upon Zainab and behold, they were still sitting and had not gone. So the Prophet again went away and I went away along with him. When we reached the threshold of 'Aisha's dwelling place, he thought that they had left, and so he returned and I too, returned along with him and found those people had left. Then the Prophet drew a curtain between me and him, and the Verses of Al-Hijab were revealed. "O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness. But when you are invited, then enter; and when you have eaten, disperse without seeking to remain for conversation. Indeed, that [behavior] was troubling the Prophet, and he is shy of [dismissing] you. But Allah is not shy of the truth. And when you ask [his wives] for something, ask them from behind a partition. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts. And it is not [conceivable or lawful] for you to harm the Messenger of Allah or to marry his wives after him, ever. Indeed, that would be in the sight of Allah an enormity." (QS. Al-Ahzaab 33: Verse 53) That was how Muhammad used Allah as a scapegoat to send his friends away so that he could have time to consummate his marriage with the wife of his adopted son When the Prophet was alive, no one knows the religion than him on earth as Allah's revelations come to him. So he knows best as far as Allah reveals to him.Allah revelation never came to Muhammad. Allah never spoke to Muhammad. Only an unknown jinn that tormented him in the cave of Hira spoke to him. Show us where Allah spoke to Muhammad in the Quran. In the same Quran, allah spoke to Moses and others but never to Muhammad. Why did Allah find Muhammad unworthy of being spoken to? Where is your proof of Waraqah's error?I will show you waraqa's error if you can show me the proof that Allah and not a jinn recited the Quran to Muhammad |

Realismailakabir:Mention the names of the hadith scholars that say it is fake. Your friend antichristian said it is not saheeh and you say it is fake, who do I believe. Remember, if a weak is not saheeh that doesn't make it fake. There are many hadith of Imam Bukhari that are also called fake, why should this be since Islam is a perfect religion in text and practice? |
| Re: Is It Permissible For A Muslim To Wish A Christian A Merry Christmas? by true2god: 6:33am On Dec 18, 2020 |
advocatejare:I agree with you, Allah never for once spoke to mohammed except through an intermidiary who muslims call jibril. |

advocatejare:Very revealing and inciteful. Kudos! |
| Re: Is It Permissible For A Muslim To Wish A Christian A Merry Christmas? by AntiChristian: 6:43am On Dec 18, 2020 |
true2god:Abeg wetin you know about our Hadith? It's not like the Bible that has no chain of narrators. For example, Luke wrote the book of Luke by research. He should have included all the people or books he consulted to compile the book. Luke narrated from John son of Zebedee that he heard Peter son of Lazarus that Jesus said.... Assuming John above is a confirmed liar who brings things up then this narration would be fabricated. This is one of the reasons an hadith can classified as mawdoo' i.e. fabricated. I have read the hadith before and i know it's fabricated. And this is one of the beauties of our Ahadith. |

true2god:Thank you brother. Let's keep teaching them. |
| Re: Is It Permissible For A Muslim To Wish A Christian A Merry Christmas? by AntiChristian: 8:47am On Dec 18, 2020 |
true2god:There are many classifications of hadiths the most common being Sahih (authentic), hasan (Good), Do'eef (weak) and Mawd'oo (fabricated). Sheikh Albani, Al Bayhaqi and Al-Thahabi made that claim. Al-Albani said in al-Silsilah al-Da’eefah, 25: (it is) mawdoo’ i.e. fabricated. Many Ahadith of Imam Bukhari are fake? Another lie. How much is this many of yours bring the numbers and percentage? |

AntiChristian:On a project now but I will school you more on Monday. Note: All the hadith collected by Imam Bukhari was about 600000 but was later filtered to about 7250 Hadith, meaning that over 92% of the original hadith collected by Imam Bukhari were considered fake and fabricated. How can you depend on the work of a man whose work, over 92%, was considered unreasonable? And on a final note, the hadith is also a tumour, or gossip, some anonymous peddled about Mohammed. Imam Bukhari didn't see any of the sahabas who reported so so and so. He came over 200 years after the death of all the sahabas hence all what he documented as your hadith are mere rumours and gossips from the people he met in Arabia when he embarked on the task of collecting the hadth. Imam Bukhari is not the only one gathering rumours as your hadith. Hafs, whose quranic recitation style you are using today, also collected many hadith but his collections were discarded because he was considered unreasonable. How can Muslims accept the quranic recitation of Hafs while the reject his hadith? A question begging for answers from we kuffar. |

true2god:What's the difference between the ahadith collected by Bukhari and Sahih Bukhari? And on a final note, the hadith is also a tumour, or gossip, some anonymous peddled about Mohammed. Imam Bukhari didn't see any of the sahabas who reported so so and so. He came over 200 years after the death of all the sahabas hence all what he documented as your hadith are mere rumours and gossips from the people he met in Arabia when he embarked on the task of collecting the hadth.A rumour doesn't come with authentication, chains of narrators, etc as do our Ahadith. Is the Bible not a rumour according to Luke 1:1-4? Mark and Luke never met Jesus. They didn't mention where their source of information was. No chains of narrators like the hadiths. No authentication. Even Mathew and John were not present when Jesus was born. They met in between the story yet they wrote the story from the beginning copying texts, etc. And after Jesus went up. Saul became Paul and then wrote about 14 out of 28 books of the New testament! Moreover I will like to ask you if it is possible for Moses to have written his own obituary in the last book of Moses? Why are you guys more of hypocrites like these? Imam Bukhari is not the only one gathering rumours as your hadith. Hafs, whose quranic recitation style you are using today, also collected many hadith but his collections were discarded because he was considered unreasonable. How can Muslims accept the quranic recitation of Hafs while the reject his hadith? A question begging for answers from we kuffar.Bring the evidences of what you're typing make we see! |

AntiChristian:The former is all the 600000 collected by Bukari while the latter is the approved one commonly called 'sahih' Bukari because of it alleged authenticity. AntiChristian:One hundred people can peddle a rumour, which might be untrue. The number of 'chains of narrators' (or rumour carriers) does not make a gossip or rumour (hadith in this case) true. AntiChristian:The Bible is not a rumour but an eye-witness account of events. My friends, even though they may not know when/where I was born can write my biography providing these details in their books from secondary sources that are verifiable. And note, Jesus, from childhood, was well know among the Jews, rabbis, saduccees and the pharisees. On Paul, what he wrote were epistles (long letters) to various churches and individuals in the early church. The reason it is always called THE EPISTLE OF PAUL. On Moses, the first 5 books of the Jewish scriptures were written by Jewish scribes under the inspiration of God. It was named 'the 5 books of Moses' because Moses was the central figure in the 5 books and in Jewish religion.
