Allah the Most Exalted said: "Verily, their evil omens are with Allah but most of them know not." (7:131)
Allah the Most Exalted said: "They (Messengers) said: Your evil...

Messiah (Christ)
The Old Testament teems with prophecies of the Messiah, but nowhere is
it intimated that that Messiah is to stand as a God to be worshipped. He is
to bring peace on earth, to build up the waste places, to comfort the
brokenhearted, but nowhere is he spoken of as a deity. —Olympia Brown, first woman minister ordained
in the U.S., Sermon of 13 January, 1895.
The concept of Jesus being the predicted messiah is so well known to the world of
Christianity as to obviate...

Return of Jesus
If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify him.
They would ask him to dinner, and hear what he had to say, and make fun
of it. —D.A. Wilson, Carlyle at his Zenith
There is one thing upon which Christians and Muslims agree, and that is the
return of Jesus Christ. Interestingly enough, both religions expect Jesus to return in a
victory of faith to defeat the Antichrist, correct the deviancies in religion, and establish
the truth of God throughout the world. Christians expect this truth to echo their evolved
doctrines, whereas Muslims expect Jesus to remain consistent with his...

Curing through Magical Spells (An-Nushrah)
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Allah's Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) was asked about An-Nushrah (the act of seeking cure from magical...

When all else fails, John 10:30 relates Jesus as having said, “I and the Father are
one.” Short, succinct, to the point, and terribly flawed. In this verse, the manuscript Greek
for the English “one” is heis. 139 This word also occurs in John 17:11 and 17:2123. John
17:11 reads, “Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given me,
that they may be one as we are” (italics mine). Literal or metaphorical? John 17:21
reinforces the metaphor with the words, “That they all may be one, as
You, Father, are in me, and I in You, that they also may be...

Later examples include Lewis Hetzer (decapitated February 4, 1529), Michael
Servetus (burned at the stake October 27, 1553, using green branches still in leaf to
produce an agonizingly slow, smoldering fire), * Francis Davidis (died in prison in 1579),
Faustus Socinus (died in 1604), John Biddle (who suffered banishment to Sicily and
multiple imprisonments, the last of which hastened his death). Biddle, who considered
the terminology employed by Trinitarians “fitter for conjurers than Christians,” established a breastwork of arguments against the assault of Trinitarian theology of such
effectiveness that, at least on one occasion, debate opponents arranged his arrest in order
to avoid facing him in public...

And in any case, the list of candidates for “son of God” begins with Adam, as per
Luke 3:38: “Adam, which was the son of God.”
Those who rebut by quoting Matthew 3:17 (“And suddenly a voice came from
heaven, saying, ‘This is My beloved son, in whom I am well pleased’”) have overlooked
the point that the Bible describes many people, Israel and Adam included, as “sons of
God.” Both 2 Samuel 7:1314 and 1 Chronicles 22:10 read, “He (Solomon) shall build a
house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his
Father, and he shall...
During the time of the Prophet, not everyone was able to meet him physically. Many people heard the message from loved ones, or some random dude walking by. There was an instance an old woman was advising a young...
