What the Bible says about Muhammad - VI

Last Part

Reverend James L. Dow in Collins Dictionary of the Bible gives further proof, that JESUS is not like MOSES, but MUHAMMAD is like Moses: "AS A STATESMAN AND LAWGIVER MOSES IS THE CREATOR OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE. HE FOUND A LOOSE CONGLOMERATION OF SEMITIC PEOPLE, NONE OF ......

What the Bible says about Muhammad

Part V

CHAPTER FOUR

New Testament Also Confirms

Baptist Contradicts Jesus

In New Testament times, we find that the Jews were still expecting the fulfillment of the prophecy of 'ONE LIKE MOSES', refer John 1:19-25. When Jesus claimed to be the Messiah of the Jews, the Jews began to enquire as to where was Elias? The Jews had a parallel prophecy that before the coming of the Messiah, Elias must come first in his second coming. Jesus confirms this Jewish belief:

"...ELIAS TRULY SHALL FIRST COME, AND RESTORE ALL THINGS. BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT ELIAS IS COME ALREADY, AND THEY KNEW HIM NOT...THEN THE DISCIPLES UNDERSTOOD THAT HE SPAKE UNTO THEM OF JOHN THE BAPTIST." (Matthew 17:11-13).

A while back we introduced to you a very precious Australian lady whose maiden name was Lynette Vivienne Burton. She used to be a Christian, but -All Praise be to Allah- through sincere imploration to God and unbiased research she embraced the True Islam. The name she uses now is Shifa Lynette Vivienne Mustapha. This is what she has said herself in regard to the name she has chosen:

"After embracing Islam I took the first name "Shifa".  This I did because I believed that I had undergone spiritual healing, being thus now able to see the truth of Islam. While many converts refuse to keep their original names, I believed that as a mark of respect to my parents I should keep the names they, in love, gave me. My first name was close to the name of my father's brother who was killed in an accident years before I was born, and my second name was the feminine form of my father's name. . . We take our husband's surname when we marry over here."

It is valuable to emphasize the point that she embraced Islam through imploration and research and not only through her marriage. The following is a paper in regard to Hadrat Fatemah (PBUH) which she presented last year:

The moments of the month of Rabi'-O-Ththaani are passing us one at a time, but the Heavenly fragrance of Imam Hasan Askari (PBUH) is touching, ever so gently and kindly, the hearts and souls of Believers and Anticipators, for, he was born in this month, and has therefore made this month beautiful and unforgettable ever since.

… And at the Last Days when the Ever-Promised Savior -Imam Mahdi (PBUH)- shall Emerge, all Shaitaan-directed misguidance as propagated by usurpers and liars will be disclosed. It has been exactly such Shaitaan-directed misguidance and distortions of the usurpers throughout history -such as …, Paul, AbuBakr, 'Umar, …- which have caused the concealment of the Truth, i.e. the Divinely Bestowed Position and Rightfulness of Mohammad and his AhlulBayt (PBUT) -the Allah Appointed lords and masters of all creations- from many; and that has exactly been the goal and promise of Shaitaan as the clear enemy of humankind, i.e. to deviate human from the 'Straight Path' leading to Everlasting Salvation: Qur'an 7:16 … Verily I (Shaitaan) shall lurk in ambush for them on Thy 'Straight Path'.; the 'walaayat' (Wilayat) -Divinely Ordained lordship and mastership- of Muhammad and his AhlulBayt (PBUT) over all other creations, has always been the only 'Straight and Right Path' to Everlasting Salvation.

Lately on the anniversary of Lady Fatimah's (PBUH) martyrdom, we quoted a very soul-touching statement from Shifa L V Mustapha, an Australian -formerly Christian- lady who by Grace of Allah has embraced the True Islam with all her mind, heart and soul. That beautiful statement of hers was:

"Have you ever noticed how the most beautiful of 'crushed flowers' releases its perfume more strongly than ever?"

Shifa Mustapha has narrated her very thought-provoking journey, from Christianity to Islam, in her renowned book "In quest of Truth, from deception to deliverance", and other complementary books are, Allah-Willing, going to be followed.

The following is an article from her which has already been published by "The Ahl ul Bayt World Assoc.". On this very auspicious occasion of the anniversary of Hadrat Ali's (PBUH) miraculous birth in the Holy Ka'bah, we cordially invite you to read this article, written by a sincere person whose pure love for God and His Chosen Ones, miraculously, guided her to the heavenly 'Straight Path' of the True Islam

Two Messiahs – part v

Another thought-provoking point is the role of Paul in Christianity; Paul was originally a Jew:

The New Testament, Book of Acts 22:3 "I (Paul) am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus …"

Two Messiahs - Part IV

Let us explore another interesting aspect of the issue of 'Two Messiahs'.

Two Messiahs - Part III

Many verses of Qur'an state the various favors which were bestowed upon the Bani-Israel, such as verses 47 and after in Surah Baqarah [2], for instance:

Zaynab, graceful emblem of obedience and patience

Part II

In the arena of human history, a Lady has shined; a Lady whose grandfather, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP), at her birth, by Allah's command, named her the 'adornment of father' (the meaning of the Arabic name, Zaynab); Zaynab, the adornment of Ali (PBUT), how perfectly and beautifully chosen … .

Zaynab, graceful emblem of Obedience and patience

Part I

We never wish to be free, from the commands of Ali and infallible sons of Ali;

we have learned this, from a broken flower named Zaynab, loving daughter of Ali.

Two Messiahs - Part II

This is how the Christians have tried to justify the prophesied concept of 'two Messiahs' through combining the two Promised Ones into one; according to M. P. L. Dunteman:

Two Messiahs - Part I

Stay with us as we shall, Allah-Willing, explore the issue of the 'Two Messiahs', and its connection to Imam Mahdi (May Allah hasten his glorious Emergence) … .

Mohammad, the Promise of Enjil (Gospel) - IV

Last part

In spite all this, yet the Christians have tried another thing; they have said that the "Paraclete", is the Holy Ghost! While they are saying themselves in the gospel of John 7:16 that Jesus (PBUH) said:

Mohammad, the Promise of Enjil (Gospel) - III

Now let us examine and see if "faraqlit" means "the Praised one".

Mohammad,
the Promise of Enjil (Gospel) – II

The
Imam: Do you deny that surely Tawrat has said: The Light came to you
from the Mount Toor Sina (Sinai),
and became bright for us from the Mount Saa'ir (Sair), and appeared
upon us from Mount Faran (Paran)*?

Mohammad, the Promise of Enjil (Gospel) - I

In the current New Testament of the Bible, which is a collection of scriptures used by Christians, including four different gospels, there are numerous indications to the Prophet promised by Jesus (PBUT); here we wish to some detail, explore one set of those promises.

Ummi Prophet, illiterate or not!-II

The word Ommi and its plural Ommiyoon or Ommiyeen are used different times in Qur'an, for example, Allah commands the Prophet to say:

So if they dispute with thee, say: "I have submitted My whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me." And say to the People of the Book and to the Ommiyeen: "Do ye (also) submit yourselves?" If they do, they are in right guidance, but if they turn back, Thy duty is to convey the Message; and in Allah's sight are (all) His servants. [Qur'an, 3:20]

Ummi Prophet, illiterate or not!-I

The Knowledge of Divine Prophets (PBUT), and the more exalted of them, the five Olol-Azm ones, I.e. Noah, Ibrahim, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad (PBUT), and of course, the most exalted of them all, the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP), are from Allah; i.e. they did not attend schools and had no regular earthly teachers, and they were directly taught by Allah; as a sample, we read in Qur'an that the Prophet Jesus (PBUH) as an infant, announced that he was a Prophet and servant of Allah and that Allah had bestowed upon him, the Book [Qur'an, 19:30]. The bestowed Knowledge of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) includes the Knowledge of Ghaib (that which is concealed and unseen to others) [Qur'an, 72:26 to 28]:

(Allah) The Knower of the Ghaib; so He (Allah) does not reveal His Ghaib to any,

Except a Rasool (Messenger/Apostle) whom He has chosen and is pleased with; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him,

So that He may know that they have truly delivered the Messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them, and He records the number of all things.

Mohammad, the Promise of Torah - Part III

What we have mentioned so far in the first two parts of this writing, are only samples of many such cases of discrepancies in the current Bible; many western documents also verify the mistakes in the Bible which furthermore prove the fact that unfortunately the Bible has been distorted; for instance Bart Ehrman says, "There are more known errors in the Bible than there are words, while the original versions are universally lost."; also see “The Destruction of the Bible”; and also see "50,000 Errors in the Bible?" a reproduction from the Christian Magazine "AWAKE!" September 8, 1957, and … .

Mohammad, the promise of Torah - II

We, the Muslims, based on Qur'an, believe that Prophethood was bestowed upon both Ismael -the Prophet Ibrahim's first son- and also Is_haaq (Isaac) -the Prophet Ibrahim's son who was born years after Ismael-; but obviously the Prophet Ibrahim (PBUT) himself prayed that the Ever-Promised Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) to be born from the Prophet Ismael whom he built Ka'bah with.

Mohammad, the promise of Torah -I

When the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) took his wife Haajar (Hagar) and his first born, Ismael (Ishmael), to PARAN, where Mecca is today, the Prophet Ibrahim prayed to Allah:

O’ our Lord! surely I have settled from my offspring in an uncultivated land, near Your Bait Al-Haraam (Sacred House); our Lord! that they be upholders of Salaat; so make the hearts of some people yearn for them, and provide them with benefits; perhaps they will be grateful.

My Lord! Set me (to be) upholder of Salaat (Prayers), and from my offspring (too); O’ our Lord! and do accept (my) prayer.

(Qur'an, Surah Ibrahim, verses 37 & 40)

Finding god!

Are there many ways, for finding God?!

In today's world, people from different walks of life claim that there are many ways to find god; a musician may claim that through his music, he sees his god; a dancer may say that while dancing he has found his god; another claims that when he meditates his own way, he feels the closeness of his god; others claim that by worshiping a certain symbol, they have found and approached their god; another indicates that his hero, is the god that he was searching for; … ; i.e. people think that they are experiencing many ways to find god without limiting themselves to any specified way or religion. Are these claims correct?

O' God!

This world that we are living in, is quite complicated. People every where -with different backgrounds and beliefs- are repeating the word god, and are claiming that they are praying and talking to god; so, what is the big deal? Why do the Shi'ah claim that their way is the only ever-commanded way?!

When the blessed month of Ramadan arrives, the "Mo'menoon" (Believers) are overwhelmed with joy; because they know that their most Compassionate and Merciful Lord has prepared a heavenly spiritual buffet and has invited every one; they know that their wonderful Creator treats every single guest as if he/she is His one and only special guest; they know that every precious and green moment of the month of Ramadan -jjust like bounteous raindrops which bring dead lands back to life- can bring dead hearts back to everlasting life.
