\nThis message is for every Christian who is
\nwelling to search for the truth with a sincere desire,
\nand a broad mind to provide him with answers to
\nquestions that would otherwise take him long time
\nto find.<\/p>\n
\nSince you are a Christian, have you ever
\nthought of the origin of Christmas; or how genuine
\nis Christmas? Or, do you consider Christmas a
\nsocial tradition or a ritual? If you consider it a social
\ntradition, then there is no room for it in you faith. If
\nit as a ritual, then it should hav:e. an origin in your
\nBible. If it does not hav~ an origin in your Bible,
\nthen, either the Bible is false or Christmas is.
\nH is time you should know the truth about
\nChrist and Christmas. Here is what Britannica
\nEncyclopedia has to say about Christmas:
\nChristnlas (Old English “Christ’s Mass”)
\nChristian festival celebrated on December 25,
\ncommemorates the birth of Jesus Christ and is also
\na popular secular holiday. According to a Roman
\nalmanac, the Christian festival of Christmas was
\ncelebrated in Rome by AD 336.
\nThe ecclesiastical calendar retains numerous
\nremnants of pre-Christian festivals-notably
\nChristmas, UJhich blends elements including both
\nthe feasts of the Saturnalia and the birthday of
\nMithra.
\nThe development oflegends
\nLegends developed in Christianity because of a
\nneed to answer questions posed by the less
\nintellectual Christians, the need for stories of
\nexemplary Christians, and the transference of the
\ndeeds of pagan gods and goddesses in popular piety
\nto those zuho are ofsaints and martyrs.
\nMany Christians UJere not satisfied with the gaps
\nin the narration of Christ’s life in the canonical
\nGospels. There thus developed several apocrypha,l
\noften influenced by Gnosticism, that provided
\nlegendary accounts ofChrist’s life, as well as those
\nof the Apostles.2
\nSince you are a fellow human being, first and
\nforemost, we are concerned about your spiritual

\nwelfare;’ hence we have prepared this message for
\nyou.
\nMankind belong to one single father, Adam,
\nand have one single God, Allah, Who has brought
\nthem into existence, and provided them with their
\nmeans of substallll’ in order to worship Him alone.
\nIt is inconceivable that the God Who created the
\nuniverse and every thing in it to need help; let
\nalone taking a son or a spouse, or a partner. He was
\nall by Himself when there was nothing in existence;
\nthen He created mankind and the rest of the
\ncreation for one single purpose, that is to w<.lrship
\nHim.<\/p>\n
\nThere is no doubt that God3 has created man for
\na lofty purpose; and that is why He has
\ndistinguished him from the rest of His creatures.
\nHe has honored him by giving him intellect; a gift
\nthat many creatures do not have. Were the sole
\n3 The tem ‘God’ means the Sale Creator, Who gives life, causes
\ndeath, and upon Whom all creatures depend for their means of
\nsubsistence.
\n3
\npurpose of man’s existence in this universe is to live
\nand die, he would need no intellect for that.
\nAnimals need no intellect to control their behavior;
\nnor do they consider any norms or etiquettes when
\nthey fulfill their desires.
\nWhy did the Creator bring the whole universe
\ninto existence? Do you think He did so for fun? Or,
\ndid He create us for no purpose?
\nThere is no religion but recognizes the existence
\nof the Creator of this universe, Who runs its affairs
\nin flawless precision. Look at the sun and the
\ndistance that separates it from our planet the earth.
\nIt rotates in its orbit like the rest of the other planets
\nwithout deviation. Were any error to occur, the
\nearth and the rest of the planets would have gone
\ninto a chaos.
\nDo you not think that this Great Creator
\ndeserves to be regarded with high estimation for
\nHis matchless, immaculate, and great capacity?
\nThere is nothing to exhaust it; whenever He wants
\na thing to take place, He only says to it, ‘Be’ and it
\nis?
\n4
\nWhy would such a Great Creator, Who possesses
\nlimitless capacity need an aide, a son, or an
\nassociate?
\nWhat is then the Divine purpose of bringing man
\ninto existence?
\nMan, being a creature, cannot possibly answer
\nthis significant question; because were he to be his
\nown creator, he would probably answer this
\nquestion. But, since God, Almighty, is the One Who
\ncreated us, then He alone has the answer to this
\nquestion.
\nHere is His answer:
\n“I have created jinn and man only to worship Me.”4<\/p>\n
\nSince our Creator is the only true God, and since
\nHe is the only One Who deserves to be worshipped,
\nwe should know how to worship Him? Do we
\nworship Him according to our discretion, or
\naccording to His instructions? Since He is our
\nCreator, then we must follow His commands and
\ninstructions.
\n4 Q. 51:56
\n5
\nIn order to make this easy for His slaves, Allah
\nsent them Messengers to guide them to His path,
\ninstruct them how to worship Him, give good news
\nof endless bliss in the next world to those who obey
\nthem, and warn those who disobey them against a
\nsevere punishment in the next world. This is the
\nmain duty of the Messengers. God says:
\n“We did send Messengers as annunciators of
\ngood news, and Warners against punishment so
\nthat man would have no argument against Allah.”s
\nNo nation was left without a Messenger. Allah
\nsays:
\nThere is no nation that did not receive a
\nMessenger.
\nThe first Messenger whom Allah sent to
\nhumankind is Noah, and the last is Muhammad,
\nmay Allah exalt their mention. The best of all
\nMessengers are according to their chronological
\norder: Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and
\n5 Q. 4:165
\n6
\nMuhammad; may Allah exalt their mention. It is
\nincumbent on everyone to believe in all of the
\nMessengers whom God sent to mankind.
\nSince Jesus was the last Messenger before
\nMuhammad, may Allah exalt their mention, and
\nsince Christians constitute the majority in
\ndemographical terms, and since you believe in
\nJesus, you should probably hear the true details of
\nhis as well as his mother’s birth stories?
\nDo you know?
\nDo you know that Jesus spoke to people in his
\ninfancy? Do you know that Allah looked after his
\nmother ever since she was born? Since you are a
\nChristian, you should know these facts.
\nWhy not first listen to the story of his
\nmother’s birth from the Qur’an, in a chapter titled,
\nAali Imran (Imran’s Household) which God
\nrevealed to the last of His Messengers, Muhammad,
\nmay He exalt his mention:
\n7<\/p>\n
\nGod says:6
\nAnd tell people about Imran’s wife (the
\nmother of Mary) when she supplicated God
\nsaying, ‘My God! I have vowed to consecrate
\nthe fetus in my womb to Your worship; so
\naccept it from me; You surely hear my
\nsupplication, and know my intention.’7 (35)
\nAnd when she delivered her baby, she said,
\n‘0 my God! I have delivered a baby-girl -and
\nAllah knows best what she delivered- and a
\nmale is not like a female,8 and I have named
\nher Mary, and I commit her and her
\noffspring to Your protection against Satan,
\nthe accursed.’ (36)
\nThereupon, God accepted the vow of Mary’s
\nmother graciously, afforded Mary fine
\n6 Q. Chapter 3
\n7 She obviously did not know at that point whether her fetus
\nwas a male or a female.
\nS Obviously, the male is different from the female in terms of
\nenduring worship patiently and maintaining the place of
\nworship.
\n8
\nupbringing, and committed her to the care of
\nZachariah.9
\nAllah looked after Mary, and protected her in
\nresponse to her mother’s supplication to
\nprepare her to be the mother of one of the best
\nof His Messengers. God also supplied her
\nwith her food provisions. He says:
\nWhenever Zachariah visited Mary in her
\nchamber, he saw she had food supplies. He
\nasked her, 10 Mary! IWhere did you get this
\nfrom?’ She said, lit is from God. God
\nprovides whoever He wants without
\nmeasure.’ (37)<\/p>\n
\nNow let’s hear how Jesus was born. God says:
\nAnd mention to them when the angels said
\nto Mary, 10 Mary! God has chosen you,
\nsanctified you, and preferred you to the rest
\nof the women of the world.’ (42)
\n9 Zachariah is the father ofJohn the Baptist (Luke 1:5)
\n10 Q. Chapter 3.
\n9
\n‘0 Mary! Obey your God submissively,
\nprostrate yourself before Him, and worship
\nHim along with the worshippers.11 (43)
\nThese are historical news that you
\n(Muhammad) did not know before; We
\nreveal them to you so that you report them to
\nyour people. You were not with the priests
\nwhen they cast lots to decide who of them
\nshould take care of Mary, nor were you there
\nwhen they disputed over this matter.l2 (44)
\nBreaking the news to Mary about conceiving of
\nJesus
\nGod says:
\n11 Prostration and bowing are main postures of Salah. In that
\nsense, Allah commanded Mary to be regular on performing
\nSalah, and worshipping Him.
\n12 Prophet Zakariya and the priests in Jerusalem contested for
\nthe honor of claiming the custody of Mary when her mother
\nbrought her to them; because she dedicated her to the service
\nof the Masjid of Baitul Maqdis. To decide who would have the
\ncustody of hers, they cast their pens in the river, he whose pen
\nstand still in the running \\vater would have the privilege of her
\ncustody. All their pens drifted away in water except
\nZakariya’s; thus he won her custody.
\n10
\nTell them too when the angels said to Mary,
\n‘0 Mary, Allah is giving you good news; that
\nyou, by a command from Him, shall have a
\nson whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of
\nMary; who will have an honorable status in
\nthis as well as in the next world, and he is
\nfavored by Allah. (45)
\nHe will speak to people in his infancy and
\nduring his middle age, preaching the
\nOneness of Allah, and he will be righteous.
\n(46)
\nShe said, , 0 my God! How can I have a child
\nwhen no man has ever touched me? He said,
\n‘This is the way of Allah; He creates
\nwhatever He wishes. Whenever He wants a
\nthing, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is. (47)
\nNow listen to the amazing details of Jesus’
\nbirth as narrated in the Glorious Qur’an in a
\nchapter titled, ‘Mary’. Allah says:
\nAnd tell them the story of Mary as
\nmentioned in the Book, when she isolated
\nherself from her people in a westward place.
\nThen We sent to her Our angel, Gabriel, who
\n11
\nappeared to her in a shape of a perfect man.
\nShocked as she was, she said to him: “I seek
\nrefuge with the Merciful God from you; that
\nis, if you fear Him.” He eased her fear by
\nsaying: “I am not what you are thinking. I am
\nonly a messenger from your God to give you
\na pure son.” She wondered: “How can I have
\na son when no man has ever touched me, nor
\nam I a bad woman?” He said, ‘This is what
\nyour God has said,’ “It is easy for Me, and
\nWe13 shall make him to people as a proof of
\nAllah’s capability of bringing man into
\nexistence through various methods,14
\n13 Lest you wonder why the 15t person pronoun used her is in
\nthe plural form, you should know that the speaker is God
\nHimself. It is known that the use of plural of 1st person
\npronoun, ‘WE’ is a term of aggrandizement used by kings.
\nTherefore, if kings, who are only men, use it, by right, the One
\nV\\\/ho created them is more entitled to its use.
\n14 To elaborate, ‘various methods’ here means, God created
\nAdam, the father of mankind from neither a male nor a female,
\nand He created Eve from a male without a female, and created
\ntheir offspring from both male and female, and created Jesus
\n(Jesus) from a female without a male.
\n12
\nAllah goes on to say,
\n‘and to be as mercy from Us. Besides, it’s an
\ninevitable thing which is already
\nforeordained.” So she became pregnant with
\na baby, and she isolated herself in a remote
\nplace. Later on, labor pain drove her to a
\ntrunk of a palm~tree, and she said: ‘Would
\nthat I died before this, and was a thing
\ncompletely forgotten, or never existed.’15<\/p>\n
\nGod says:
\nThen her baby called her from beneath her,
\nsaying, ‘Grieve not! Your God has nlade a
\nstream run below you; and shake the trunk
\nof the palm~tree; ripe date~fruits will fall
\ndown for you. So, eat! drink! and enjoy
\nyourself, and whenever you see a human
\nbeing then gesture to him: I have vowed to
\nobserve fast for the sake of the Merciful
\nIS She said that out of her concern about what \\vould people
\nthink of her when they see her coming home with a baby in
\nher hands, having known her as a chaste, pious woman, and
\nthat they \\vould not believe her story.
\n13
\nGod; so I will not speak to any human
\nbeing.’
\nJust imagine how she could prove her
\ninnocence before people. Who on earth would
\nvouch for her truthfulness? That was her main
\nconcern. But do you think that God, the Most
\nMerciful, Who had destined her to be the mother of
\nHis slave and Messenger would abandon her at a
\ntime of such a dire need? Then listen to the
\nmiraculous proof with which God proved her
\ninnocence.
\nGod instructed her to be silent because
\nregardless of what she would say, she would not
\nconvince people of her innocence. Then, someone
\nelse should speak on her behalf; someone whose
\ntestimony would not be contested. Here is what
\nhappened: God says:<\/p>\n
\nWhen she finally returned home carrying her
\nbaby, people were shocked, and reproached her
\nsaying: “0 Mary, you have committed a grave sin.
\n0, sister of Aaron, (They called her by that name
\nbecause her lineage traces back to Moses’ brother,
\n14
\nAaron. They reminded her of her pious
\npredecessors sC1\\Ting, IYour father was not a bad
\nman, nor was your mother unchaste.”
\nSince she made a vow of abstaining from
\ntalking, the infant spoke again to prove his
\nmother’s innocence:
\nshe pointed at her baby. They wondered
\ndeniably, ‘How can we talk to an infant in a
\ncradle?’ At that point, the infant himself
\nspoke saying, II am a slave of Allah. He has
\ngiven me the Book, made me a Prophet, and
\nblessed me to enjoin the good conduct, and
\nforbid the abominable wherever I may be,
\nand He has commanded me to perform
\nprayer, and give Zakat16 as long as I live.
\nAnd He has made me dutiful to my mother;
\nnot too arrogant to worship Him, not a
\nwretched man. And safety and security are
\ngranted to me on the day I was born through
\n16 The term, ‘Zakat’ legally means, ‘alms’, and linguistically, it
\nmeans, ‘purification’.
\n15
\ntill the day I shall die, and on the day I shall
\nbe raised again.”
\nIn order to prove to them that he was only a
\nhuman, he mentioned that he was born and will
\ndie, and will be raised again on the Day of
\nResurrection like the rest of his fellow human
\nbeings.
\nBy saying, ‘I am a slave of Allah,’ Jesus, the
\nbaby, declared the Oneness of Allah, and His
\nfreedom from having a son, confirmed the fact that
\nhe is a slave of Allah, and exonerated his mother
\nfrom the accusation of being a bad woman. Allah
\nfurther says:
\nThis is the truth about Jesus, the son of
\nMary, about whom they are doubtful.(10)
\nWith these words, too Allah declares Himself
\nas far above what they ascribe to him, and
\nemphasizes the fact that He created Jesus as His
\nslave and Messenger. He further says:
\n16
\n‘It does not befit Allah to take a son for
\nHimself. He is far above what the ignorant
\nand transgressors ascribe to Him. When He
\nwants a thing to take place, He only says to
\nit, ‘Be’, and it is.’17
\nJesus’ privileges and miracles<\/span><\/strong>18
\nLike the rest of His Messengers, Allah enabled
\nJesus to perform certain miracles to prove his
\nveracity as described in the following verses:
\nAnd Allah will teach him writing, make him
\nunderstand the religion, and teach him the
\nTorah and the Gospel. (48)
\nAnd will send him as a Messenger to the
\nChildren of Israel to tell them, ‘I have come
\nto you with a proof from your God that I
\nmake for you a shape of a bird out of mud,
\nthen I blow on it, and it becomes a real bird
\nwith the leave of Allah. I heal the blind by
\nbirth, the leper, and revive the dead with the
\nleave of Allah. I can tell you, in addition,
\nwhat you eat, and what you stock in your
\n17 Q. 19:35
\nIH Q. Chapter 3
\n17
\nhomes. Surely, these are proofs of my
\nveracity if you but believe. (49)
\nFurthermore, I have come to confirm the
\nTorah, which was revealed before me, make
\nlawful some of what was forbidden for you,
\nand I have come to you with a sign from
\nyour God, so fear Allah and obey me. (50)
\nVerily, Allah is my as well as your God, that
\nis, both you and I are His slaves; therefore,
\nworship Him alone. This is the straight path.
\n(51)
\nThe reaction of the Children of Israel<\/span><\/strong>
\nNow let us listen to how the Israelites received
\nJesus’ Message:
\nGod says:
\nAnd when Jesus realized that the Israelites were
\npersistent on infidelity, he asked them, ‘Who are
\nmy supporters for the advancement of the cause of
\nAllah?’ His disciples said, ‘We are your supporters
\nfor the advancement of the cause of Allah. We
\nbelieve in the Oneness of Allah, so bear witness
\nthat we are Muslims.’ (52)
\n18
\nThey further supplicated, ‘0 our God! We
\nhave believed in what You revealed, and
\nfollowed the Messenger, so enlist us as
\nwitnesses to this fact.’ (53)
\nThe Jews planned to kill Jesus, but Allah
\nfoiled their plan and saved him, and Allah is
\nthe best of planners. 19 (54)
\nWhen Allah said, ‘0 Jesus! I will put you to
\nsleep, and raise you up to Me, and save you
\nfrom the infidels, and will give those who
\nfollow you the upper hand over the infidels
\nuntil the Day of Resurrection. 20 (55)
\n19 The Jews tried to kill Jesus when they reported him to the
\nking at that time, calling him a liar and an illegitimate child.
\nWhen the king’s men besieged his house, Allah raised Jesus up
\nto Him through a hole in the ceiling, and made the one who
\nentered the house in the night to apprehend him look like
\nJesus. They thought he was Jesus himself, so they took him
\nand crucified him. That was the planning of Allah, Who saved
\nHis Prophet and made the infidels believe that they fulfilled
\ntheir desire.
\n20 Allah did humiliate those who denied the Prophethood of
\nJesus, may Allah exalt his mention, by subjecting them to
\nexecution, captivity, and caused their properties to be
\nconfiscated. He will further subject them to severer torment in
\nthe next world.
\n19
\nWhat is more difficult and miraculous, the<\/span><\/strong>
\ncreation of Adam,<\/span><\/strong>
\nor the birth of Jesus?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nverses:
\n‘Surely, the case of bringing Jesus into
\nexistence is similar to that of Adam; Allah
\ncreated the latter from soil then He said to
\nhim, ‘Be,’ and he was.’21
\nThis is the truth about Jesus that your God
\nhas revealed to you. Therefore, have no
\ndoubt about it.22
\nJesus told his people while he was an infant:
\n“Surely, Allah is my as well as your God; so
\nworship Him alone. This is the right course;
\nhe who adheres to it will certainly be guided
\n21 Q. 3:59 He Who created Adam without a father is by right
\nmore capable of creating Jesus. Hence, if Divine sonship is
\nascribed to Jesus because of his miraculous birth, then, by right
\nAdam would be more entitled to it than Jesus.
\n22 Q. 3:60
\n20
\naright. Yet people afterwards were divided
\ninto parties regarding Jesus:23
\nThis mean”” the Jews, upon whom is the curse of
\nAllah, aCClised Jesus of being an illegal child.
\nAnother party said he was God Himself, and yet a
\nthird party said he is one of the three, while the
\nfaithful believed he is only asiave of Allah and His
\nMessenger to which Allah refers by saying: ‘this is
\nthe truth about Jesus.’
\nJesus was never crucified, as Christians
\nbelieve; rather Allah raised him up to Him. It was
\nsomeone else who was actually crucified. Allah
\nsays:
\nThey never killed nor crucified him, but it
\nappeared so to them. Allah took him up to Him.
\nAllah is ever Mighty, Wise. 24
\nThe status of Jesus in Islam
\nIt is incumbent on Muslims to believe in all of
\nthe Messengers that Allah sent to humankind
\n23 Q.19:16-36
\n24 Q. 4:157
\n21
\nincluding those whom Allah sent to the Children of
\nIsrael.<\/p>\n
\nNow that you have listened to the real story of
\nJesus’ and his mother’s birth, do you still believe he
\nis a god? Well! Have you ever thought of crossexamining
\nthe doctrine of the Trinity, the basic
\nformula of the Christian faith? Or, have you ever
\nasked yourself how can three different entities be
\none entity, and at the same time be three? Or, how
\nanything individually, in its entirety, with its
\nindivisible oneness can by itself be divided into
\nthree separate beings with three different attributes,
\nor entities?
\nDid you ever ask any priest to help you solve
\nthis problem? I am sure he would never appreciate
\nyour question, nor your doubt in the dogmatic
\nbelief of Christianity. If you ever ask him this
\nquestion, most probably he would tell you, ‘In
\nmatters of faith one has to stop reasoning, and
\nbelieve in the doctrine only by his heart, not mind.’
\n22
\nHow can water remain water and at the same
\ntime be fire? Or, how can a stone be a stone and at
\nthe same time be water? Do you think any sensible
\nman on earth can ever accept such impossibility?
\nHow can the Ever-living God be God and
\nmortal at the same time? That is, to be a man to
\nsuffer death at the hands of mortals? And how, the
\nsame mortal being can be the Immortal God at the
\nsame time? It is an impossibility which your priests
\nwant you to believe, and do not want you to even
\ndare question this inconceivable dogma.
\nGod IS absolutely independent in His
\nexistence. A fact, which makes it impossible for the
\ndoctrine of Trinity to come to terms with human
\nreason. It is an inconceivable riddle, which opposes
\nscience and logic.
\nHere is another hypothetical question, which a
\nbeliever in the Trinity can never answer: vVho is the
\none who controls or determines the splitting of the
\none into three different ones, not more or less in
\nnumber? There must be a cause for this controlled
\neffect, and that the causative factor acting as
\nsupreme over the three is the effective supreme
\ncontrolling cause, and the causative power that
\n23
\nreduces the three into one; while the three would be
\nonly subservient to it.
\nImportant points to remember<\/span><\/strong>
\nYou think Jesus is semi-god was he born to a
\nwoman without a man? What about Adam? He was
\ncreated from neither a woman nor a man? Would
\nyou say he was wholly-god? Whose creation is
\nmore miraculous Jesus or Adam? And, Who came
\ninto existence first? Think of it, and think of it
\nseriously; because you will be questioned about it
\non the Day of Resurrection.<\/p>\n
\nNow compare this with the following facts about
\nAllah, the True God:
\n\u2022 “Were there to be gods other than Allah, both
\nthe heavens and the earth would have gone
\ninto chaos.”25
\n\u2022 \/IAllah has never taken a son, nor has an
\nassociate. Were there to be gods beside
\nAllah, each god would have taken away
\n25 Q. 21:21
\n24
\nwhat he created, and would have fought each
\nother vying for supremacy.”26
\n\u2022 Here is a hypothetical argument that you may
\nconsider. Let us assume the existence of two
\ngods; one of them wants to move an object,
\nand the other wants keep it stationary; if their
\nwishes are not fulfilled, then neither of them is
\na real god; keeping in mind when God wants
\na thing, it must take place instantly. On the
\nother hand, to have both of their wishes
\nfulfilled in the same time is impossible;
\nbecause their wishes are contradictory. This
\nimpossibility is the result of the supposition of
\nplurality of gods. If one of the two gods’ wish
\nis fulfilled, then he is the conqueror, and the
\nnecessarily existing god, while the conquered
\nis not; because it is impossible that the
\nnecessarily existing god be conquered. That is
\nwhy Allah says:
\n\u2022 “They would have fought each other vying
\nfor supremacy.”27
\n26 Q. 21:93
\n25
\nAllah is far above what they ascribe to Him.
\n\u2022 Allah created man and placed him on earth to
\nprocreate and colonize it, grow communities,
\ncooperate and help each other; because an
\nindividual on his own cannot survive without
\nfellow humans.
\n\u2022 Why does Allah, the only true God, the
\nCreator of everything, need a son or an
\nassociate? Is it because He wants to procreate
\nand multiply? Or, because He could no longer
\nhandle the affairs of the universe on His own?
\nDid such a question occur to you before?
\nAllah says, ‘We have created the heavens and
\nthe earth and never suffered fatigue or
\nexhaustion.’28
\n\u2022 How long did Jesus live on earth? If he were a
\nsemi-god or a god incarnate, why did he not
\ntake flight to heaven before he was captured
\nknowing that his opponents were going to put
\n27 Q. 23:91
\n28 Q. 50:38
\n26
\nhim to death. Were he to be a god, he would
\nhave known their scheme before hand; yet he
\nfailed to do so. He also failed to realize what
\nwas awaiting him.
\n\u2022 Imagine yourself watching your only son
\nsuffering a painful situation, and you can
\neasily save him from it; would you hesitate to
\ndo so? Do you think god would be less
\nconcerned about his only son than you about
\nyours? But, according to them \/lgod” did fail to
\nsave his only \/IsDn” from the hands of his
\nperpetrators!!!!!
\n\u2022 I would like you to think over the belief that if
\nJesus were God Himself, or the son of God;
\nwhy was he so terrified at the impending
\ncrucifixion that he shouted: “Eli, Eli, Lama
\nSabachthani?” My God, My God, hast thou
\nforsaken me?” (Mathew 27:46) If Jesus were
\nGod Himself, as they allege, does it mean that
\nGod was forsaken by God? Moreover, can that
\nwho felt hopeless and shouted desperately for
\nhelp be a god?
\n27
\nBesides, do you think Jesus was God Himself,
\nwhen he fell down crying praying for
\nsomeone to remove away from him the cup
\nof death by crucifixion? That is if he was
\ncrucified!,!!
\nIs this the foundation upon which is built the
\nhuge edifice of the Christian faith? Is the basis
\nof your faith only a matter of blind following,
\na faith, which can never stand reasoning or
\nindependent scrutiny by dispassionate and
\nimpartial arguments from a clean conscience?
\n\u2022 Allah is capable of creating anything any time.
\nWhen He wants a thing to take place, He only
\nsays to it, ‘Be’ and it is. This means, He needs
\nnone of His creatures; neither a son, nor a
\nwife, nor a partner.
\nHuman beings have one single father; Adam,
\nand their only true God, is Allah. He has
\nbrought them into existence and provided
\nthem with all their needs in order to worship
\n28
\nHim alone. He says, I created jinn and men
\nonly to worship Me.29
\n\u2022 It is inconceivable that the only true God Who
\ncreated the whole universe and every thing in
\nit to need help; let alone taking a son, a wife,
\nor a associate. He was all by Himself when
\nthere was nothing in existence; then He
\ncreated the universe, mankind and the other
\ncreatures for one single purpose; that is to
\nworship Him. He says:
\nSay, had there been other gods beside Him,
\nthen they would have surely sought a way of
\ngaining favor with Him, the Possessor of the
\nThrone. Holy is He and exalted far above
\nwhat they ascribe to Him. The seven
\nheavens, the earth, and what is in them
\ncelebrate His praise declaring His holiness.
\nThere is nothing but declares the holiness of
\nAllah and praises Him, but you do not
\nunderstand how they do that.30
\n29 Q. 51:56
\n30 Q. 17:42-44
\n29
\nAllah also says:
\n\u2022 Are dissident gods better or Allah, the Sole
\nGod, the invincible? You worship none
\nbeside Him save names that you and your
\nfathers have named,31 for whom Allah has
\nprovided no proof. All authority belongs to
\nAllah alone. He commands that you should
\nworship none but Him. This is the right
\nfaith; but most people do not know.32
\nNow, listen to the following conversation
\nwhich will take place between Allah and Jesus on
\nthe Day of Resurrection:
\n\u2022 On that Day Allah shall enumerate His favors
\nHe granted Jesus saying:
\n\/0 Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My
\nfavors on you by bringing you into
\nexistence from a woman without a man,
\nand My favor on your mother when I made
\n31 It iSs only the idolaters who call their idols gods; for such
\nidols are only creatures.
\n32 Q. 12:39-40
\n30
\nyou a proof of her innocence of what the
\nignorant peopIe accused her, and I
\nsupported you with Gabriel, the Holy
\nSpirit, and made you a Prophet and a
\npreacher to Allah in your youth and
\nadulthood, and enabled you to speak to
\npeople in your infancy, and you recognized
\nyourself as My slave, and I taught you
\nwriting, the Torah and the Gospel. I taught
\ntoo how to make a shape of a bird out mud
\nwith My leave, and you blew on it and
\nbecame a real bird with My leave, and you
\nhealed the blind by birth, and the leper
\nwith My leave, and revived the dead with
\nMy leave, and I withheld the Children of
\nIsrael from killing you when you brought
\nthem the clear proofs of your Prophethood,
\nand the infidels among them accused you
\nof lying and called your miraculous proofs
\nas sheer sorcery.'(llO)
\nRemember too when I inspired the
\nDisciples to believe in Me and in you as
\nMy Messenger, and they did so saying, ‘We
\nbelieve in Allah and bear witness, 0 Allah,
\nthat we are Muslims.'(l11)
\n31
\nSure! They declared themselves as Muslims,
\nbecause a Muslim is the one who believes in the
\nOneness of Allah, and that Allah has neither a wife,
\nnor a son, nor a partner.<\/p>\n
\nYou must have read the story of the Last
\nSupper is mentioned in the Bible; now listen to it
\nas narrated in the Qur’an:
\n\u2022 And when the Disciples said to Jesus, 10
\nJesus, son of Mary! Could you ask your God
\nto send us a meal from heaven?’ He said,
\nIFear Allah, and ask no such thing, and
\ndepend on Allah for your provisions, if you
\nare true faithful.'(112)
\n\u2022 They said, IWe want to eat from it, set our
\nminds in peace when we see it coming down
\nfrom heaven, and become more certain about
\nthe veracity of your Message, and testify that
\nit is from Allah as a proof of your
\nProphethood.'(113)
\n\u2022 Jesus then said, 10 Allah, our God! Send
\ndown a meal from heaven for us, and the day
\nit comes down will become a festival for the
\n32
\nfirst and the last of us, and a sign from You
\nof your ability of doing anything, and a
\nresponse from You to my prayer, and
\nprovide us with easeful provisions; for You
\nare the best of providers:(114)
\n\u2022 Allah responded by saying, ‘I will send it
\ndown, but he who disbelieves afterwards I
\nshall subject him to a torture that no other
\ncreature of your era would be subjected
\nto.'(115)
\nDid Jesus order people to worship him?
\nHere is the answer:
\n\u2022 On the Day of Resurrection Allah shall ask
\nJesus, ‘0 Jesus! Did you say to people take
\nme and my mother for gods other than
\nAllah?’ Jesus shall say, ‘Far are You removed
\nfrom every imperfection, It is not for me to
\nsay that to which I have no right. If I said it,
\nYou would certainly know it; for You know
\nwhat is in my mind, and I do not know what
\nis in Yours, and I do not have the knowledge
\nof the invisible world which You have, and
\nYou know all the invisible things.(116)
\n33
\n\u2022 I said to them nothing other than what You
\ncommanded me to convey to them; namely,
\n‘Worship Allah, my God and your God.’ And
\nI was a witness against them while I was
\nwith them, but after You took me up to You,
\nYou were watching them, and You are the
\nWitness over everything.(117)
\n\u2022 If you punish them, they are Your slaves,
\nand if You forgive them, You are the
\nPowerful, the Wise.(118)
\n\u2022 Thereupon, Allah shall say, ‘This is a Day in
\nwhich truthfulness of the truthful who
\nbelieves in the Oneness of Allah benefits
\nthem. Such shall be admitted into Gardens
\nthrough which rivers flow to live therein
\nforever; while Allah is well pleased with
\nthem, and they are well pleased with Him.
\nThis indeed is great success. (119)
\n\u2022 To Allah belong the kingdom of the heavens
\nand the earth and whatever is in them, and
\neverything is under His control. He needs
\nneither a son, or a wife nor an aide. Other
\nthan Whom there is no true GOd.(120)33
\n33 Q. 5:110-120
\n34
\nHe also says:
\nGod says: ‘I created jinn and men only to
\nworship Me. ’34
\nHe does not say I have created them to help
\nMe.
\nNone of Allah’s Messengers or Prophets
\nclaimed to be a god or semi-god. Allah says:
\n\u2022 It would not befit a man, whom Allah gives
\nthe Scripture, authority, and Prophethood, to
\nsay to people, IWorship me along with Allah.
\nRather, he commands them to be righteous
\ndevotees, because they study the Scripture,
\nunderstand it and memorize it.35
\n\u2022 The Messiah, son of Mary was only a
\nMessenger like the rest of the Messengers
\nwho passed away before him, and his
\nmother was a truthful woman. Both, she and
\nher son used to eat food like the rest of
\nhuman beings. Now look how do We explain
\nto them Our signs, and look how they turn
\naway from the truth!
\n34 Q. 51:56
\n35 Q. 3:79
\n35
\nGod. Almighty Allah has shown how to argue
\nwith the Jews & Christians according to the
\nfollowing instructions of Allah:
\nNow, whoever argues with you concerning
\nJesus after having received the correct
\ninformation, then say to them, ‘Come, let us
\nbring together our sons and your sons, our
\nwomen and your women, and ourselves and
\nyourselves, and let us invoke the curse of
\nAllah on the liars.36
\nWhat We have told you about Jesus is the
\ntrue story; and there is no true God except
\nAllah, and Allah is the Mighty, the Wise.37
\nBut if they reject the truth, and prefer
\nfalsehood to it, then they are deviant. Allah
\nknows the deviant and will serve him the
\npunishment he deserves.38
\nSay, ‘0 Christians and Jews! Let us reach a
\nmutual agreement between both of us; that
\nwe should not worship other than Allah, nor
\n36 Q. 3:61
\n37 Q. 3:62
\n38 Q. 3:63
\n36
\nascribe a partner to Him, nor should some of
\nus take some for deities beside Allah and
\nobey them in lieu of Allah. If they refuse this
\nagreement then say to them, ‘Bear witness
\nthat we are Muslims.’39
\nTh.is is a message to you from a sincere fellow
\nhuman who is concerned about your welfare in
\nthis as well as the next world.
\nThe Day when neither wealth nor offspring will
\nbenefit man; save him who returns to Allah with a
\nsound heart.4o
\nThe sound heart is the heart which holds the
\nbelief in the Oneness of Allah; i.e., there is no true
\nGod except Allah, and Muhammad is the
\nMessenger of Allah.
