ASSALAMU ALAIKUM,
I wish to write this rejoinder to the so-called Muslim convert which appeared to be a Missionary sponsored-propaganda. I have observed and responded to about sixteen allegations and misconceptions against Islam as follows.
CLAIM NUMBER ONE: THAT ISLAM HAS NO GUARANTY OF SALVATION.
OUR RESPONSE: This is nothing but a deliberate false claim that will only be made by an ignorant hired missionary. This is because the religion of Islam is the only religion that has multiple ways of earning salvation or eternal life. For example, Qur’an 98:7-8 stated that those who believed in Allah and work righteously will live in paradise forever.
See also Q 85:11, Q84:25, Q18:107, Q2:62, etc…
CLAIM NUMBER TWO: THAT ISLAM RECOGNIZED JESUS CHRIST AS THE WORD OF GOD, SON AND MESSIAH. Q3:45
OUR RESPONSE:
Jesus Christ was never addressed as the Son of God in any part of the Qur’an… See Surah 112:1_4
Qur’an 3:45 only shows the power of Allah in creating whatever he wishes as written in Q36:82 “whenever Allah intended to decree a matter he only says to it” Be” and it will be. A simple example is mentioned in Genesis 1:3, 1:6, 1:9_22, Psalm 33:6_9, and Nehemiah 9:6 see also Matthew 19:26 with God all things are possible.
Therefore, Jesus was the manifestation of God’s word also (i.e God’s command) as written in Surah 4:171. But Allah had given a comparison with Adam in Surah 3:59 Where Allah stated that Adam was also created by the word of God (i.e command from God).
On the issue of Jesus Christ being a spirit, See Surah 38:71_72 Where Allah’s spirit was breathed unto Adam as it was done unto Jesus which made Jesus and Adam to be compared in terms of creation as mentioned in Qur’an 3:59.
To be continued…
