WAS JESUS CHRIST (PBUH) SENT TO MANKIND? 

This is one of the tactics the Christian preachers use in converting Muslims who have petite knowledge about Islam into the doctrine of Paul. It is sometimes shocking when I see pastors and evangelist saying “you must accept Jesus as your personal lord and Saviour or else you will not enter the kingdom of heaven” as if Jesus (Pbuh) was even sent to the whole mankind. If Jesus Christ (Pbuh) was not sent to mankind then this preaching is false.

Let us quickly shed light on this topic.

Allah (S.W.T) revealed to Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) that, we have sent messengers before you to their respective people in several places in the Glorious Qur’an.

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ رُسُلًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَآءُوهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ ۖ وَكَانَ حَقًّا عَلَيْنَا نَصْرُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

“And We have already sent messengers before you to their peoples, and they came to them with clear evidences; then We took retribution from those who committed crimes, and incumbent upon Us was support of the believers.”

Quran 30:47

The bible agrees with this verse by saying Jesus (Pbuh) will be sent to save his people.

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall SAVE HIS PEOPLE from their sins.”

Matthew 1:21

Now who are his people? Let us look at the below verses

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا عَبْدٌ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلْنَٰهُ مَثَلًۭا لِّبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

“Jesus was not but a servant upon whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an example for the Children of ISRAEL.”

Quran 43:59

“Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise RAISED UNTO ISRAEL a Saviour, Jesus”

ACTS 13:23

MY CASE AGAINST YAHWEH knowislam.com.ng/2017/06/08/my-case-against-yahweh/

Now, if any Christian disagree with the above evidences that Christ is not sent to the whole world, then let ask Jesus Christ (Pbuh):

A Canaanite woman’s daughter was possessed by a demon, and she came to meet Jesus Christ for deliverance, let read the below verses

“22. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.”

But he answered and said, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.”

Mathew 15:22-24

He warned his twelve disciples not to go to the gentiles and Samaritans.

5. “These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not.”

6. “But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

Matthew 10:5-6

It is crystal clear that he was not sent to the world, but to the Israelites alone.

HIS RESTRICTED MISSION

Jesus Christ (Pbuh) mission was restricted and time bond. He was only sent to the Israelite during his time, and that is why he said in the book of St john.

12. “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.”

13. “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”

John 16:12-13

Note: Prophet Mohammad (SAW) is the Prophet that came after Jesus (Pbuh), and he was the last and final Messenger from Allah (God)

Jesus Christ (Pbuh) knew his message was time bond, and that is why he said in the book of john chapter 9 verse 5

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

JOHN 9:5

Above is a conditional tense that distinctly shows his mission is restricted.

Below is another verse from the glorious Qur’an

وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًۭا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَمُبَشِّرًۢا بِرَسُولٍۢ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِى ٱسْمُهُۥٓ أَحْمَدُ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ قَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا سِحْرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ

“And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, “O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad.” But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, “This is obvious magic.”

Quran 61:6

Jesus (Pbuh) answered: ” For all the Prophets, that are one hundred and forty-four thousand, whom God hath sent into the world, have spoken darkly. But after me shall come the Splendour of all the prophets and holy ones, and shall shed light upon the darkness of all that the prophets have said, because he is the messenger of God.”

Gospel of Barnabas page17: Chapter 17 paragraph 3.

May Almighty Allah guide us to the straight path. Ameen.

Salam alaekum everyone.

Recently, many Christian apologists have confused themselves on the authorship of the Quran. They keep saying the third Caliph, Uthman ibn Affan, authored the Quran and burn all the Qurans people had in circulation about 1400years ago. I believe their ignorance of the words Quran and Mushaf have gone to the extent that they just attack everything they see as confusing. Have we ever even wondered that many of the so called apologists have no knowledge of the Arabic language, and the few who do do not know how to translate words to the right meanings but use their implied meanings to words.

Who authored the Quran? Someone must have produced it! After all, how many desert men have stood up in the history of man and given the world a book like the Quran? The book has amazing details of past nations, prophets, and religions as well as accurate scientific information unavailable at the time. What was the source of all this? If we were to deny the divine origin of the Quran, we are left with only a few possibilities:

– The Prophet Muhammad authored it himself.

– He took it from someone else. In this case, he either took it from a Jew or a Christian or one of the foreigners in Arabia. The Meccans did not bother to accuse him of having taken it from one of them.

Allah SWT says

And they say, “Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon.Say, [O Muhammad], “It has been revealed by He who knows [every] secret within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving and Merciful.” (Quran 25:5-6)

COULD AN ILLITERATE HAVE AUTHORED IT?

It is impossible that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) could have authored the Quran due to the following reasons:

First, several occasions presented themselves where he could have fabricated revelation. For example, after the first revelation came, people awaited to hear more, but the Prophet did not receive any revelation from Angel Jibreel for months. The Meccans began making fun of him saying ‘His Lord has abandoned him!’ This continued until the 93rd chapter, Ad-Doha, was revealed. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) could have compiled something and presented it as the latest revelation to end the mockery, but he did not. Also, at one point during his prophethood, some of the hypocrites accused his beloved wife Aisha of being unchaste. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) could have easily fabricated something to free her of blame, but he waited for many excruciating days, all spent in pain, mockery, and anguish, until revelation came from God freeing her from the accusation.

Second, there is internal evidence within the Quran that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was not its author. Several verses criticized him, and were on occasion strongly worded. How can an imposter prophet blame himself when it may run him into the danger of losing the respect, perhaps following, of his followers? Here are some examples:

“O Prophet! Why do you prohibit [yourself from] what God has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And God is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Quran 66:1)

“…while you concealed within yourself that which God is to disclose and you feared the people, while God has more right that you fear Him..” (Quran 33:43)

“It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire.” (Quran 9:113)

“But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge] while he fears [God], from him you are distracted. No! Indeed, they [these verses] are a reminder.” (Quran 80:8-11)

If he were to hide anything, he would have hid these verses, but he recited them faithfully.

“And he [Muhammad] is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. And it [the Quran] is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. So where are you going? It is nothing but a reminder to the worlds.” (Quran 81:24-27)

See Also: https://knowislam.com.ng/2017/06/09/refuting-the-non-muslim-misconception-of-the-word-jihad/

The Prophet is cautioned, perhaps warned, in the following verses:

“Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth so you may judge between the people by that which God has shown you. And do not be an advocate for the deceitful. And seek forgiveness of God. Indeed, God is ever Forgiving and Merciful. And do not argue on behalf of those who deceive themselves. Indeed, God loves not the one who is a habitually sinful deceiver. They conceal [their evil intentions and deeds] from the people, but they cannot conceal [them] from God, and He is with them [in His knowledge] when they spend the night in such as He does not accept of speech. And God ever is encompassing of what they do,. Here you are – those who argue on their behalf in [this] worldly life – but who will argue with God for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will [then] be their representative? And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness of God will find God Forgiving and Merciful. And whoever earns [i.e., commits] a sin only earns it against himself. And God is ever Knowing and Wise. But whoever earns an offense or a sin and then blames it on an innocent [person] has taken upon himself slander and manifest sin. And if it was not for the favor of God upon you, [O Muhammad], and His mercy, a group of them would have determined to mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and they will not harm you at all. And God has revealed to you the Book and wisdom and has taught you that which you did not know. And ever has the favor of God upon you been great.” (Quran 4:105-113)

These verses explain a situation in which a man from the Muslim inhabitants of Medina stole a piece of armor and hid it in the property of his Jewish neighbor. When the owners of the armor caught up with him he denied any wrongdoing, and the armor was discovered with the Jewish man. He, however, pointed to his Muslim neighbor, also denying his involvement in the crime. The people from the Muslim’s tribe went to the Prophet to plead on his behalf, and the Prophet began to incline towards them till the above verses were revealed clearing the Jewish man of wrongdoing. All this despite the Jew’s rejection of Muhammad’s prophethood! The verses instructed Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) himself not to side with the deceitful! The verses:

“…and do not be an advocate for the deceitful and seek forgiveness of God…and if it was not for the favor of God upon you, [O Muhammad], and His mercy, a group of them would have determined to mislead you.”

If Muhammad himself authored the Quran, thus being a lying imposter, he would have made sure that there was nothing in existence which could jeopardize the gaining of followers and supporters. The fact that the Quran, on various occasions, reprimands the Prophet in certain issues in which he had made in incorrect judgment is in itself a proof that it was not authored by him.

Pittsburgh PA 15232, April 2003.
I. Introduction
One could in fact say that, of the major elements of Islam, the real significance of the Prophet Muhammad is the least understood by the non-Muslims and his personality has not been often rightfully presented.
II. Reasons for the Misunderstanding
1. The fact that the message of Islam came after those of Judaism and Christianity made it unacceptable to the two preceding religions.

2. The Prophet Muhammad was generally presented as a false Prophet and an imposter – to say the least – in the Latin Christian literature and this continued in almost all the modern European ones.

3. The real personality of the Prophet as his mission and role were very different from those of Jesus who, for the Christians, was representing The Norm for the true founder of a religion. Any difference with this norm was unacceptable and rejected. These differences were obstacles to a better understanding of the personality of the Prophet.

4. The Islamic conquests of the Christianized Byzantine provinces caused an old-aged animosity with the Latin Church, which tried to fight Islam through the possible means: moral, intellectual, material, etc…

5. The Orientalists, “the experts on the Orient”, had built a strong hostile tradition about Islam and his Prophet, and this was, and still is, presented as a learned and scientific tradition, although it is more often than not based on pure personal biases and hate for Islam and its Prophet. It cannot be denied though that a small number of Orientalists tried to look at their object of study in an objective and scientific way.
III. The Divine Revelation to the Prophet Muhammad
The Prophet Muhammad received the Divine Order to call the people, once more, for the last time, to the same true religion, that’s of worshipping and submitting to the One true God, Allah in Arabic. God ordered him in the Quran: “Say, we believe in Allah,  and that which has been revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, and that which was given to Moses and Jesus, and to the Other Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit” [3:83].

The creed of Islam is summed up in the Testimony of Faith: There is no deity but God and Muhammad is His Messenger.

The Revelation the Prophet Muhammad received from God is called the Quran, which means the Reading or the Recitation. God sent down the Quran on the heart and soul of the Prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel. The Revelation began in the month of Ramadan of the year 610c.e. in the cave of  Hira`, in the mountains surrounding Mecca, where the Prophet used to retreat for meditation. It continued for 22 years, until the death of the Prophet, at the age of 62, in Medina.

The Revelation was brought in clear and distinct Arabic verses “Ayaat”. They came in an intermittent manner, whenever God found it necessary to reveal how the problems, the circumstances, the needs, the important issues related to the new faith should be dealt with, or to reveal the ways of worshipping, of salvation, of preparation for death and resurrection on the Day of Judgment.

The Prophet was transmitting faithfully the Words of God to the believers, as those Words were engraved forever in his heart and memory. The companions of the Prophet were memorizing and writing down all the Revelations dictated by the Prophet. All the verses constituting the Quran were put in the order they exist now, under the instructions of Angel Gabriel who had transmitted to the Prophet the Will and the Words of God as embodied today in the Quran.

The Quran with the extraordinary beautiful meanings it contains, expressed in an extraordinary beautiful Arabic language is presented by God as being the Miracle He has given to the Prophet. The Arabic word “Ayaat”, translated by verse, means in fact a Miracle. So the Quran is made out of Miracles. When the idolaters were mocking at that kind of intellectual and linguistic miracle, and wanted more physical and material ones, God challenged them, through the verses of the Quran to make just one verse as great and as divine as those contained in the Quran. Up to this present time nobody could emulate the divine book. The diverse dimensions and meanings of the Quran testify to its divine origin.
IV. Religious and Spiritual Life of the Prophet
For Muslims, the Prophet is the perfect man and the prototype of the religious and spiritual life. This is difficult to understand for a Christian because, compared to Christ, the earthly career of the Prophet seems often too human and too engrossed in the vicissitudes of social, economic and political activities to serve as a model for the spiritual life.

The spiritual nature of the Prophet is veiled in his human one and his purely spiritual function is hidden in his duties as a guide of men and a leader of a community. The function of the Prophet was to be, not only the spiritual guide but also the organizer of a new social order with all that such a function implies. And it is precisely this aspect of his being that veils his purely spiritual dimensions from foreign eyes. It may be easy to understand his political genius, his great statesman-ship, but less easy to understand how that same leader has been the religious and spiritual guide of men and how his life could be an example for those who aspire to sanctity. This is particularly true in the modern world where religion is separated from other domains of life and most modern men can hardly imagine how a spiritual being could also be immersed in the most intense political and social activity.

In fact, in order for Christians to understand the contour of the personality of the Prophet of Islam, they should not compare him with Jesus-Christ whose message was meant primarily for saintly men and who founded a community based on monastic life which later became the norm of a whole society. Rather because of his dual function as “King” and “Prophet”, as the guide of men in this world and the hereafter, the Prophet should be compared to the Prophets-Kings of the Old Testament, to David and Solomon, and especially to Abraham himself.

This type of figure, who is at once a spiritual being and a “leader of men” has always been rare in the Christian West, especially in modern times. Political life has become so divorced from spiritual principles that, to many people, such a function itself appears an impossibility in proof of which Westerners often point to the purely spiritual life of Christ who said “My kingdom is not of this World”.

The figure of the Prophet is thus difficult for many Occidentals to understand and this misconception, to which often bad intention has been added, is responsible for the nearly total ignorance of his true nature in most works written on him in the West.
V. The Active Life of the Prophet
The Prophet did participate in social life in its fullest sense. He married, had a household, was a father and moreover he was a ruler and a judge, and had to fight many wars in which he underwent painful ordeals. He had to undergo many hardships and experienced all the difficulties which human life, especially that of the founder of a new state and society implies. But with all these activities, his heart rested in contentment with the Divine, and he continued inwardly to repose in the Divine peace.

In fact, his participation in social and political life was precisely to integrate these domains into a spiritual center.

The Prophet entertained no personal political or worldly ambition whatsoever. He was by nature a contemplative. Before being chosen as Prophet, he did not like to frequent social gatherings and activities. He used to lead a caravan from Mecca to Syria passing through the majestic silence of the desert whose very “infinity” induced men towards contemplation. He often spent long periods in the cave of Hira`, in the mountains surrounding Mecca, in solitude and meditation.

He was  by nature neither a man of  the world nor one who was naturally inclined to seek political power among the Quraysh or social eminence in the Meccan society, although he came from the noblest family. It was in fact very painful and difficult for him to accept the burden of prophecy that implied the founding of not only a new religion but also a new social and political order. All the traditional sources testify to the great hardship the Prophet underwent by being chosen to participate in the active life in its most acute form. 
VI. The Combativeness of the Prophet
The Prophet possessed a quality of combativeness, of always being actively engaged in combat against all that negated the Truth and disrupted harmony and equilibrium. Inwardly, this combativeness meant a continuous struggle against the carnal soul, against all that in man tends toward the negation of God and His Will. Outwardly, this combativeness meant fighting wars, either military, political or social wars, the war that the Prophet named the “little Jihad”, by opposition to the “Greater Jihad” which is the internal struggle.

The Prophet believed that if his religion is to be an integral part of life, he must try to establish peace in the most profound sense, namely to establish equilibrium between all the existing forces that surrounded him and to overcome all the forces that tended to destroy this equilibrium.

Thus the wars undergone by the Prophet were never aiming to oblige anyone to embrace Islam. The Quran stated the rule of: “There is no compulsion in religion” [2:256], and emphasized the fact that a person’s belief in Islam or his rejection to believe is a matter that depends upon man’s free will and his sincere conviction. This is stated in hundred of verses like: “Let him who will, believe, and let him who will, reject it” [18:129].

The Quran precised the way to be used to invite people to Islam, and it was not war. The Quran says to the Prophet: “Invite to the way of your God with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious” [16:125].

So why wars? The Prophet went on to war only when he was obliged to do so against those who were threatening the existence of the newly born community in Medina. He tried to have peace with everybody, with the Meccans, the Arab tribes, the Jews, etc… and when these people were not honoring their pacts concluded with the Muslims, the Prophet went on to war. He did so to protect his community and to allow the people to worship God freely, without oppression or fear.

Let me quote Michael the Elder, Jacobite Patriarch of Antioch (in old Syria), writing in the latter half of the twelfth century and approving the welcoming attitude of his ancestors at the advent of the Islamic armies in the seventh century and seeing the finger of God in the Arab conquests, even after the Eastern Churches had had five centuries of experience with the Islamic rule. After recounting the persecutions carried on by Heraclius against his coreligionists, Michael the Elder wrote: “This is why the God of vengeance – who alone is All-Powerful and changes the empires of mortals as He will, giving it to whomsoever He will, and uplifting the Humble-beholding the wickedness of the Romans, who, throughout their dominions, cruelly plundered our churches and our monasteries and condemned us without pity – brought from the region of the south the sons of Ishmael, to deliver us through them from the hands of the Romans… It was no slight advantage for us to be delivered from the cruelty of the Romans, their wickedness, their wrath and cruel zeal against us, and to find ourselves at peace”. (Quoted by T.W. Arnold in Preaching of Islam, Dwarf Publishers LTD, London, 1986, pp. 54-56).

 This testimony of a Christian patriarch shows that Islam was not spread by the sword. But the sword of Islam abolished the oppression of the powerful and the persecutions they were carrying on against the worshipers of God, be they Christians, Jews or Muslims.
VII. The Prophet and his Enemies
The Prophet had also been criticized by non-Muslim authors for having treated some of his enemies harshly. These critics have forgotten that either a religion leaves the world aside, as Christ did, or integrates the world, in which case it must deal with such questions as war, retribution, justice, etc…

When Charlemagne, or some other Christian king, thrust a sword into the breast of a heathen soldier, he was, from the individual point of view, being cruel to that soldier, but on the universal plane, this was a necessity for the preservation of the Christian civilization that had to defend its border or perish.

The Prophet exercised the utmost kindness possible and was harsh only with traitors. Now, a traitor against a newly founded religious community, which God has willed and whose existence is a mercy from Heaven to mankind, is a traitor against the Truth itself. What appears to some as the cruelty of the Prophet against some idolaters or some Jewish tribes of Medina is precisely that aspect of his function as the instrument of God for the establishment of a new world order which had to be purified from the traitors to the pacts concluded with them to insure the security of the new community in Medina. Those who were collaborating with the enemies and not honoring their promises with the Muslims had to be punished, banned or executed. Any fifth column in the world today would be dealt with in the same manner.

Otherwise, the Prophet was always the epitome of kindness and generosity. Nowhere are the nobility and generosity of the Prophet better exemplified than in his triumphant entry to Mecca, ten years after his hijrah or immigration to Medina, with his companions. There, at a moment when the very people who had caused untold hardships and trials for the Prophet, were completely subdued by him, instead of thinking of vengeance, which was certainly his due, he forgave them. One must know the almost unimaginable obstacles placed before the Prophet by the same people, of the immense suffering he and his new community had undergone because of them, over 20 years, to realize what degree of generosity this act of the Prophet implied.

What directed the life of the Prophet was his love for God, which in conformity with the general perspective of Islam, was never divorced from knowledge of Him and perfect surrender to His Will. A well-known tradition “hadith” reports one of the Prophet’s supplications to God: “O Lord, grant to me the love of Thee. Grant that I love those who love Thee. Grant that I may do the deeds that win thy love. Make Thy love dearer to me than self, family and wealth”.
VIII. The Marriages of the Prophet
The multiple marriages of the Prophet, in the tradition of the Biblical Prophets and of the customs of the region, were not signs of his lenience vis-à-vis the flesh. Let me quote the noted British author Parrinder (in Mysticism in the World’s Religions, New York, Oxford University Press, 1976, p. 161), he said: “No great religions leader has been so maligned as Muhammad. Attacked in the past as a heretic, an imposter, or a sensualist, it is still possible to find him referred to as “the false prophet”. A modern German writer accuses Muhammad of sensuality, surrounding himself with young women. This man was not married until he was twenty-five years of age. Then he and his wife (of forty years old) lived in happiness and fidelity for twenty-four years, until her death when he was forty-nine. Only between the age of fifty and his death at sixty two did Muhammad take other wives, only one of whom was a virgin, and most of them were taken for dynastic and political reasons (cited by J. Esposito, in Islam, the Straight Path, New York, Oxford University Press, 1991, p.18).

Multiple marriages, for him, were not so much enjoyments as responsibility and means of integration of the newly founded society. Besides, in Islam, the whole problem of sexuality appears in a different light from that in Christianity. Sexuality is sacred in Islam and is integrated to the equilibrium of life Islam seeks for the human being. That is why it should not be judged by Christian standards. The marriages of the Prophet symbolize his patriarchal nature and his function, not as a saint who withdraws from the world, but as one who sanctifies the very life of the world by living it and accepting it with the aim of integrating it into a higher order of reality.
IX. Conclusion
For the Muslims, the Prophet represents the human equilibrium that has become extinct in the Divine Truth. He marks the establishment of Harmony and Equilibrium between all the tendencies present in man: the sensual, social, economic, political tendencies that cannot be overcome unless the human state itself is transcended. His spiritual way means to accept the human condition that is normalized and sanctified as the foundation for the loftiest spiritual castle. The Prophet represents the spirituality of Islam, which is not the rejection of the world but the transcending of it through its integration into a center and the establishment of a harmony upon which the quest for the Absolute is based.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE
(Refuting the wrong perception of the word “JIHAD” to the Non muslims and against ascribing the whole Muslim community as terrorist)
The Bible said In Hosea 4:6 that my people(christians) are destroyed due to the lack of knowledge. After Reading this , I believe many will go back to study Islam not Muslims.
The word Jihad which is now misunderstood by the Non Muslims, means to strive or struggle, never mean fighting or killing. Let me give you an example , when you read hard day and Night to pass your exams .That struggle and all the striving you are doing to make sure you pass that your exam is called JIHAD in Arabic. That is working hard or struggling or striving, when one strive to give his Son good moral upbringing is also Jihad, but never mean any holy war, The term Holy War that the person refered to as Jihad, its obviously wrong , rather the word Holy war in Arabic is termed “HARBUN MUKADDASA” which is no where to be found in the Quran or any thing of my Noble prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H)
Jihad never means to fight anybody, I can see the word the Christian brother used was Holy war which he also said means Jihad ,that is to fight the Non Muslins for the sake of Allah. That is totally wrong perception and I believe after reading this short Writeup , the misconceptions will be cleared away.
This is not a fight or a debate but just to Let you know that we Muslims are wise and all the moves done by the media to tarnish the image of Islam will never be successful. In one of your paragraphs you said Allah commands to kill the christians while your Jesus tells you to Love everybody, Im telling you now that Jesus was never your own and will never be your own, Jesus was never a Christian but a Muslim, because Jesus Christ submit Him self to the Almighty God and he believes in Almighty God alone not 3 in 1, (Mark 12:29, Deutronomy 6:4, Luke 4:8,John 5:30), Jesus said you should love everybody, but you shouldn’t be quoting short verses, if you are talking of your peaceful side why not dropping verses like Exodus 2:20, Deutronomy 13:12-19, 1st Samuel 13:1)
The Quran never tells anyone to kill anybody, Infact the right to Religion that the Quran gave to People is no were to be found in order religious Books. The Quran said in Chapter 6 verse 108 “And do not insult those they invoke other than AllOEh” Also the Quran makes it clear in Quran chapter 5 verse 32 “Who ever kills a soul ,its as if he has killed the whole of man kind and also who ever save a soul it is as if he has save the whole of Mankind” further More the Quran gives the right to religion in Quran chapter 109 verse 6 “For you is your religion, and for me is my religion” Also in Quran chapter 2 verse 256 it says “No compulsion in Religion” in summary of the above paragraph ISLAM DID NOT TEACH ANYONE TO KILL ANYBODY, AND ALSO ISLAMS CONDEMNS ALL SORT OF TERRORISM. IF YOU SEE ANYBODY GOING AGAINST THE ABOVE VERSES( BY KILLING OR BY FORCING ONE TO FOLLOW A RELIGION OR BY INSULTING SOMEONE THAT FOLLOW A PARTICULAR RELIGION) IS NOT A GOOD MUSLIM AND DON’T KNOW WHAT ISLAM IS ALL ABOUT.
We are all aware that in every community there are black sheep, what the media do is to pick the activities of the black sheep of the Muslim community and ascribe it to the whole Muslims in general which is totally not fair to us the Muslims.
I wonder how the Christian brother think that the Muslims were asked to kill for the sake of Allah and im pretty sure the Environment that me and Him are in now, have a greater percentage of Muslims than the Christians,because Islam is the world fastest Growing Religion in the World with Millions of followers everyday, So my brother should think it in these way , If my Religion Islam commands Me to kill the Non Muslims, Did the Christian brother think he will be alive by now to wrote this thing he wrote against Islam,
Allah never says Kill the innocent and go to heaven rather Allah says Who ever killed the innocent it is as if he has killed the whole nation and he is going to Hell as a reward for his bad deeds. Just Imagine, How Sweet and freedom wise these statements are.
In Refuting your second to the Last paragraph that you said you exposed the naked truth about the Evil in Muslims belief, All I did was to laugh because you did not expose anything because there was nothing bad to expose in Islam, and as you can see Everyday the thousands of People running away from your faith and coming to my own, why because they have seen the light and the peace in it. You also said it already that the Religion is growing day by day, How do you think Thousands of People will leave your own which is peaceful and come to my own which is EVIL.
All I urge you is to seek and study the Islam religion not to stay from a far distance and portraying Islam, Even your Bible says you are destroyed due to the lack of Knowledge (Hosea 4:6)
I do wonder when the issue of the crisis in the north east Nigeria arise,we the Muslims are being killed and displaced and a Christian that is not affected in anyway will be saying that they are affecting him, Actually im just wondering . Why not do the analysis of the crisis and bring forth the result lets see who are affected most. Boko Haram are depopulating the Muslims not the Christians , go to the IDPs and be a witness,but that doesn’t stop the Religion from growing.
