Please find the updated version of this article on Gibraltar Messenger – The Top 10 Myths that Dominate “Islam”
by A. Freeman, guest writer
Sura 3:24 This because they say: The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered days”: for their forgeries deceive them as to their own religion.
Much like the Federal Reserve Bank is NOT Federal, has NOTHING in reserves and is actually a private corporation instead of a bank, “Islam” is yet another misnomer, designed to anaesthetize, deceive and control the masses, like its predecessors Talmudic “Judaism” and “Christianity”.
As with ALL organized religions, it is a man-made BUSINESS based upon fraud and deception, and a thorough and honest review of most “Islamic” beliefs, versus what it actually says in the Koran, prove unequivocally that, other than its intentionally misleading name, “Islam” has NOTHING to do with joyfully submitting to God’s Will.
10. The Islamic “High-Five”
One of the 5 “pillars” of the organized religion that refers to itself as “Islam” is “salat”, i.e. piety-acting practice dubbed as “prayer”, performed 5 times a day. These “prayers” are supposed to be to Allah (God), but where in God’s Koran (Quran) did He instruct us to follow this heathen ritual? And how can this be considered prayer? A thorough examination of the evidence proves, beyond any reasonable doubt, that this is neither prescribed by God nor is it actually prayer.
There isn’t one single verse (ayat) in the Koran that instructs us to go through this “prayer” drama five times a day, so we can pat each other on the back for it and pretend to be among the faithful. Not one.
Instead, we are told no less than 40 TIMES to establish CONSTANT prayer.
Please See – Suras 2:277, 4:77, 4:162, 5:13, 5:58, 6:72, 6:92, 7:170, 8:3, 9:5, 9:11, 9:18, 9:71, 10:87, 11:114, 13:22, 14:31, 14:37, 14:40, 17:78, 20:14, 20:132, 21:73, 22:35, 22:41, 22:78, 24:37, 24:56, 27:3, 29:45, 30:31, 31:4, 31:17, 33:33, 35:18, 35:29, 42:38, 58:13, 73:20, 98:5
Sura 2:277 – Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish constant prayer and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Sura 4:162 – But those among them who are well-grounded in Knowledge, and the Believers, believe in what hath been revealed to thee and what was revealed before thee: and (especially) those who establish constant prayer and practise regular charity and believe God and in The Last Day: to them shall We soon give a great reward.
Sura 6:72 – To establish constant prayer and to fear “I AM”: for it is to Him that we shall be gathered together.”
Sura 7:170 – As to those who hold fast by The Book (Bible) and establish constant prayer,- never shall We suffer the reward of the righteous to perish.
Sura 9:18 – The (human) temples of “I AM” (1 Cor. 3:16-17; 6:19; 2 Cor. 6:16; Acts 7:48; 17:24) shall be filled with Light by believing “I AM” and in The Last Day; establishing constant prayer (1 Thess. 5:17), and practicing regular charity (Matt. 6:1-4, Mark 12:31), and fearing none (at all) except “I AM” (and doing only His Will – Matt. 6:10). It is they who are expected to be on True Guidance.
Sura 24:37 – By men whom neither traffic nor merchandise can divert from the Remembrance of “I AM”, nor from constant Prayer, nor from the practice of regular Charity (Mark 12:31): their (only) fear is for The Day when hearts and eyes will be transformed (in a world wholly new – Ezek. 36:26-27, Matt. 13:13-17),-
Sura 29:45 – Learn by heart what is sent from the Book by inspiration to thee, and establish constant Prayer: for Prayer restrains ye from shameful and unjust deeds; and CONSTANT remembrance of “I AM” is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt. And “I AM” knows the (deeds) that ye do.
Sura 58:13 – Is it that ye are afraid of spending sums in charity before your private consultation (with him)? If, then, ye do not so, and “I AM” forgives you, then (at least) establish constant prayer (1 Thess. 5:17); practise regular charity; and obey “I AM” and His Messenger. And “I AM” is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
Sura 98:5 – And they have been commanded no more than this: to worship God, offering Him sincere devotion, being True (in Faith); to establish constant Prayer (1 Thess. 5:17), and to practise regular Charity (Matt. 6:1-8) and THAT is the Religion (bonded obligation) Right and Straight.
COMPARE WITH:
1 Thessalonians 5:17 – PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.
Ephesians 6:18 – Praying constantly (without ceasing) with all prayer and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all holy people;
Prayer is spiritual communication with God, in the privacy of one’s mind, the most important aspect of which is LISTENING. How can God teach and guide someone who is so busy trying to impress others at Islamic cheerleading practice (rah, rah, rak’ah) that they can’t hear anything He says? And why would He bother with someone who won’t even follow His explicit written instructions?
Every moment spent not listening to God, is another moment spent listening to Lucifer/Iblis – Satan.
9. Misery loves company
Along with paying no attention to what it says in the Koran about when to pray, “Muslims” apparently skipped over the instructions on how and where to pray too. Where in the Koran does it instruct us to go to a mosque (temple, church, synagogue, etc.), and/or make a public display of our private relationship with our Creator?
The Koran wasn’t given to Muhammad (peace be upon him) to warn Muslims about unbelievers; it was given as a blessing (Gen. 17:20) and to warn REAL Muslims from becoming unbelievers and hypocrites themselves (Sura 4:150-152), after so graciously being invited to do God’s Will (Matt. 22:1-14, Sura 61:7).
Sura 4:142 – The Hypocrites – they think they are over-reaching God, but He will over-reach them: when they stand up to prayer, they stand without earnestness, to be seen by men (Matt. 6:5), only little do they hold God in remembrance;
Sura 7:55 – Call on your Lord with HUMILITY and in PRIVATE (Enoch 56:5; Matt. 6:6): for “I AM” loveth not those who trespass beyond bounds.
Sura 9:107-111
9:107 – And there are those who put up mosques (churches; synagogues; etc.), by way of mischief and BETRAYAL – to disunite the Believers – and in preparation for one who warred against “I AM” (Revelation 12:7) and His Messenger aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good; but “I AM” doth declare that they are certainly LIARS.
9:108 – NEVER stand thou forth therein. There is an Holy Place (Mt. Moriah) whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety; it is more worthy of the standing forth (for prayer) therein. In it are men who love to be purified; and “I AM” loveth those who make themselves pure.
9:109 – Which then is best? – he that layeth his foundation on piety (a Rock – Matthew 7:24-27) to “I AM” and His Good Pleasure? – or he that layeth his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces? And it doth crumble to pieces with him, into The Fire of Hell. And “I AM” guideth not people that do wrong (if they are doing wrong Satan is guiding them).
9:110 – The foundation of those who so build is never free from suspicion and shakiness in their hearts, until their hearts are cut to pieces. And “I AM” is All-Knowing, Wise.
9:111 – “I AM” hath purchased from the Believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is The Garden (of Bliss): they fight in His Cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in Truth, through The Law (The Torah), The Gospel (New Testament/Covenant), and The Koran: and who is more faithful to His Covenant (in the Bible) than “I AM”? Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded (to fulfill The Covenant of “I AM” written in the Bible): that is the achievement supreme.
Sura 33:33 – And stay quietly IN YOUR HOUSES (Sura 9:107-111), and make not a dazzling display, like that of the former Times of Ignorance (Sura 4:142, Sura 7:55); and establish constant Prayer (1 Thes. 5:17), and give regular Charity (Matt. 6:1-8); and obey “I AM” and His Messenger. And “I AM” only wishes to remove all abomination from you, ye Members of the Family, and to make you pure and spotless (Matt. 5:8).
Sura 107:5-6
Sura 107:5 – Who are neglectful of their Prayers,
Sura 107:6 – Those who (want only) to be seen (by men – Matt. 6:5),
COMPARE WITH:
Enoch 56:5 – Henceforward shall the holy people be told to seek in heaven the secrets of righteousness (Matt. 6:6; Sura 7:55), the portion of faith; for like the sun has it arisen upon the Earth (Matt. 24:27), while darkness has passed away. There shall be Light which cannot be calculated, nor shall they enter upon the enumeration of time (Rev. 10:6); for “Darkness” shall be previously destroyed (1 John 3:8), and Light shall increase before the Lord of spirits; before the Lord of spirits shall the Light of uprightness increase for ever (Rev. 22:4-5)
Matthew 6:5-8
6:5 – And when thou prayest, thou shalt NOT be as the hypocrites [ARE]: for they love to pray standing in the churches and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward (they have been seen by men, but God will not answer them).
6:6 – But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and WHEN THOU HAST SHUT THY DOOR, pray to thy Father IN PRIVATE (Enoch 56:5; Sura 7:55); and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly (by answering you).
6:7 – But when ye pray, use NOT vain repetitions, as the heathen [DO]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
6:8 – Be NOT ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, BEFORE ye ask Him.
8. It’s time to face the music
“In the early years of Islam, the Qiblah direction was towards the city of Jerusalem.”
There is no reference in the Holy Koran to the city of Mecca by name, nor by implication. ALL references, in the Holy Koran, to the City of Peace refer to Jerusalem, NOT to Mecca. The word Mecca does NOT mean the City of Peace; the word Jerusalem DOES mean City of Peace in Hebrew.
Please see – Suras 2:125-127, 2:144, 3:96-97, 5:98, 6:92, 9:7, 9:19, 9:28, 9:108, 14:35, 17:1, 22:25-26, 27:91, 42:7, 48:22-25, Sura 90:1-2 and Sura 95:1-4, all of which direct us to turn and face Jerusalem, where Abraham offered his miracle son Isaac and became a “friend of God”.
King of kings’ Bible – Sura 2:125-127
2:125 – Remember We made The House a place of assembly for men and a place of safety and take ye The Station of Abraham (Mt. Moriah – Gen. 22:2) as a place of prayer and We Covenanted with Abraham and ISAAC (Gen. 17:21), that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate themselves (there, in prayer).
2:126 – And remember Abraham said: “My Lord, make this a City of PEACE (Jeru-SALEM in Hebrew), and feed its people with fruits,- such of them as believe God and in the Last Day.” He said: “(Yea), and such as reject Faith,- for a while will I grant them their pleasure, but will soon drive them to the torment of Fire,- an evil destination (indeed)!”
2:127 – And remember Abraham and ISAAC (Gen. 17:21, 22:2; Sura 37:101-102, 112-113) raised the foundations of The House (with this prayer): “Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us: For Thou art the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
Sura 2:144 – We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens: now shall We turn thee to a Sacrifice that shall please thee? Turn thy face in the direction of THE Holy Place: Wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction. The people of The Book (Bible) know well that that is the truth from their Lord (1 kings 8:29-30; 2 Chron 3:1). Nor is God unaware of what they do.
Sura 6:92 – And this (Koran) is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it: that thou mayest warn the Mother of Cities (Jerusalem – Isaiah 1:1, 21, 52:1-2, 62:11-12; Matt. 23:37, Gal. 4:26) and all around her (just like almost all of the previous Prophets were also told to do). Those who believe in the Hereafter (also) believe this (Book), and they are constant in guarding their prayers.
Sura 14:35 – Remember Abraham said: “O my Lord! Make this city one of peace (Jeru-salem, city of peace) and security: and preserve me and my sons from worshipping idols.
Sura 42:7 – Thus have We sent by inspiration to thee an Arabic Koran: that thou mayest warn the Mother of Cities (Jerusalem – Jer. 15:5-8, Matt. 5:35, Gal. 4:26) and all around her,- and warn (them) of The Day of Assembly, of which there is no doubt: (when) some will be in The Garden, and some in The Blazing Fire.
Sura 48:22-25
48:22 – If the Unbelievers should fight you, they would certainly turn their backs; then would they find neither protector nor helper.
48:23 – (Such has been) the practice (approved) by “I AM” already in the past: NO CHANGE wilt thou find in the practice (approved) by “I AM” (Heb. 13:8).
48:24 – And it is He Who has restrained their hands from you and your hands from them in the midst of the physical altercation (“makkah”), after that He gave you the victory over them. And “I AM” sees well all that ye do.
48:25 – They are the ones who denied revelation and hindered you from the Holy Place and the sacrificial animals, detained from reaching their place of sacrifice. Had there not been believing men and believing women whom ye did not know that ye were trampling down and on whose account a crime would have accrued to you without (your) knowledge, (“I AM” would have allowed you to force your way, but He held back your hands) that He may admit to His Mercy whom He will. If they had been apart, We should certainly have punished the Unbelievers among them with a grievous Punishment.
Note: The morally and intellectually bankrupt attempt to promote pagan Mecca as “the Holy Place”, “Mother of Cities”, “City of Peace” and the place where the First and ONLY House of God (Solomon’s Temple) was built (where animals were sacrificed), hinges on the deceitful insertion of “Mecca” into Sura 48:24 in some intentional mistranslations of the Koran.
The Arabic word “Makkah” does NOT translate to “Mecca”; it means physical altercation or confrontation. It also is NOT interchangeable with “Bakkah” (Sura 3:96), as M’s and B’s cannot be substituted for one another in Arabic. Bakkah is derived from the Hebrew word “Baca” which means “tears”. The Valley of Baca/Tears (Ps. 84:6-7) received its name because it’s where Abraham passed through with Isaac heavy-hearted, on his way to Mt. Moriah, to sacrifice Isaac, as God COMMANDED him to do, to test his faith.
Mt. Moriah is in Jerusalem, which is also referred to as the “mother of cities” because it’s where Abraham’s children were born and/or raised, and where Abraham became a “friend of God” through his righteous actions, thereby setting the correct example for all of his children (Sura 3:68).
Galatians 4:26 – But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother (of cities) of us all.
How is it possible then for anyone to think that Allah tells us in one verse (Sura 48:23) that we will find NO CHANGE in any of His approved practices, but in the very next verse He allegedly changed HIS City of Peace (Jeru-salem) to Mecca, HIS Valley of Tears (Baca) to Mecca, HIS Covenant with Isaac to Ishmael (Gen. 17:20-21), and HIS Holy Place (Isa. 28:16) to a pagan mosque in idolatrous Mecca (Acts 7:48, 17:24, Sura 9:107-108)?
COMPARE WITH: Gen. 22:2-3, 14, 1 kings 6:1-2, 11-14, 1 kings 8:29, 1 kings 8:41-45, 2 Chron. 3:1, 2 Chron. 6:18-21, Ps. 5:7, 84.4-7, 138:2, Isa. 56:7
Genesis 22:2-3, 14
22:2 – And He said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
22:3 – And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
22:14 – And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said [to] this day, In the mount of the “I AM” it shall be seen (the mount of recognition – Sura 2:198).
1 kings 8:29 – That Thine eyes may be open toward THIS house night and day, [even] toward the place of which Thou hast said, MY name shall be there: that Thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant shall make toward THIS place.
1 kings 6:1-2, 11-14
6:1 – And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build The House of the “I AM”.
6:2 – And The House which king Solomon built for the “I AM”, the length thereof [was] threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty [cubits], and the height thereof thirty cubits (compare with the Meccan Temple [cubits]: 25.2 x 21.6 x 25.7).
6:11 – And the Word of the “I AM” came to Solomon, saying,
6:12 – [Concerning] this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in My Statutes, and execute My Judgments, and keep ALL My Commandments to walk in them; then will I perform My word with thee, which I spoke unto David thy father:
6:13 – And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake MY people Israel (who are descended from Isaac, NOT Ishmael).
6:14 – So Solomon built The House, and finished it.
Isaiah 56:7 – Even them will I bring to My Holy Mountain, and make them joyful in My House of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices [shall be] accepted upon Mine Altar; for Mine House shall be called “The House of prayer for ALL people” (Sura 9:107-8).
Jerusalem (City of Peace) is mentioned in the Bible OVER 800 TIMES (and over 100 times more as Zion, as well as indirectly at least 28 more times in the Koran, IF it’s properly read and understood). It’s where God said He put His Name, His House and where His Servants are instructed to pray towards. Conversely, there is no mention of Mecca anywhere in the Bible or in the Koran.
Which city do you think God placed an emphasis on? It isn’t the “new Mecca” that will be coming down out of heaven; it’s the NEW JERUSALEM. Peace (salem) be upon you.
7. The Hajj Mirage
Tampering with a few verses in the Koran wasn’t going to be enough to maintain tourist traffic into pagan Mecca; an entirely new “Islamic history” would need to be fabricated and backfilled with fanciful, made-up stories to dress up the advertising brochure: the Hadith.
And what better way to start this unbelievable transformation than with a fantastic tale about an 1200+ km trip that never happened, to supposedly build a mosque no one ever saw or mentioned, in a city that wouldn’t exist for another 2500 years?
Did Abraham, Hagar and Ishmael ever go to Mecca? Not if we follow the directions given to us in the Koran.
The Koran specifically instructs its readers to READ THE LAW (in the first five books of the Bible (the five Books of Moses), where the story of Abraham and Ishmael is found), and to become well-acquainted with it through careful study.
Please See – Suras 2:53, 2:87-93, 3:1-3, 3:48-50, 4:54, 5:46-50, 6:91-92, 6:154-157, 7:157-158, 9:111, 11:17, 15:9-10, 17:2-4, 21:48, 23:20, 23:49, 25:35, 28:1-3, 32:23, 35:25-32, 37:117, 40:53, 40:70, 41:45, 42:14-17, 45:16, 46:12, 46:30, 48:29, 53:36-47, 57:25-29, 61:6.
The Koran also tells us it (the Koran) was sent to CONFIRM The Law and the Gospel that came before it (Sura 2:97-98, 3:1-3, 4:47, 5:51, 6:92-94, 6:153-157, 10:37, 12:111, 22:52, 35:31, 46:12, 61:6-7), which means IF the Koran is properly translated and understood, it should always be in perfect agreement with the Bible.
According to Islamic folklore, Abraham, Hagar (the Egyptian) and Ishmael supposedly set out over mountains and across deserts, toward a barren and uninhabited wasteland they had never seen nor heard of, that would someday be called Mecca. And it’s claimed that Abraham didn’t do this just once; he allegedly made this same epic trek several times during his post centennial years, before deciding to stay and help build a Meccan temple (out of rubble?) with Ishmael. But for what purpose? So they’d have a place to store their idols (Sura 14:35)?
There are, of course, a few problems with this spiritual, geographical and historical absurdity; namely:
• Abram/Abraham was born and lived in Ur of the Chaldees, before moving with his dad Terah, his nephew Lot and his wife Sarai/Sarah to Haran (Gen. 11:31). He later left Haran, when he was 75 years old (Gen. 12:4-8), to move to the land of Canaan, where he dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron (Gen. 13:18, 14:13, 16:3, 18:1, 25:9), over 1200 km from current-day Mecca. Abraham then journeyed south, toward Egypt and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, sojourning in Gerar (Gen. 20:1), where he was when Hagar, the Egyptian, and Ishmael were freed and sent on their way.
• Abraham later moved to Beersheba, in the Philistines’ land, where he planted a grove and lived for many days (Gen. 21:33-34, 22:19).
• God gave the land of Canaan to Abraham and his seed, the Children of Israel, through ISAAC and Jacob/Israel (Gen. 15:7, 17:8).
• God told Abraham that his seed would serve strangers in a strange land, prophesying the Israelites’ slavery in neighbouring Egypt (Gen. 15:13).
• God told Abraham that Ishmael would dwell EAST of all his brethren, NOT far to the south, in the city of Mecca (Gen. 16:12).
• Hagar, the Egyptian, fled the first time toward Shur and Egypt (her homeland), while she was pregnant with Ishmael (Gen. 16:7-15).
• Hagar, the Egyptian, was later sent away with Ishmael, when Ishmael was around 14 years old, traveling toward Egypt like she had done previously (Gen. 21:14). She was given bread and a bottle of water, certainly not provisions enough for a 1200+ km journey through the desert to Mecca, and certainly not with Abraham.
• Hagar, the Egyptian, and Ishmael dwelt in the wilderness of Paran, NEAR EGYPT (Gen. 20:20), which is nowhere near Mecca.
• Paran was obviously close enough to Egypt for Hagar, the Egyptian, to take a wife for Ishmael from the land of Egypt (Gen. 20:21).
• Abraham never built a house of any kind; he dwelt in tents throughout his entire life (Gen. 12:8, 13:3, 13:18, 18:1-10, 24:67).
• Abraham never built a temple of any kind; only outdoor altars, including the one on Mt. Moriah, where he offered up ISAAC (Gen. 12:7-8, 13:18, 22:9).
• Abraham died and was buried by both Isaac and Ishmael, at Hebron, in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which [is] before Mamre (Gen. 25:9-10). It would have been impossible for Ishmael to have received word of Abraham’s death in time to help bury Abraham, if Ishmael had lived in the area now known as Mecca.
• Ishmael died and was buried among his people, in the land from Havilah unto Shur, that is before (on the way to) EGYPT (Gen. 25:17-18). The 12 sons of Ishmael obviously lived in that area too for quite some time afterwards, in cities that bore their names (Gen. 25:12-16).
• A generation later and still living near Beersheba among her people, Ishmael’s daughter Mahalath was taken by Isaac’s son Esau as a wife (Gen. 28:9). So the children of Ishmael were still living close by at that time, after the death of Abraham.
The pilgrimage (hajj) that everyone should go to, if they can afford it, is to Jerusalem, where Abraham offered up his miracle son Isaac to God (Exod. 6:3-4, Ps. 119:54, Heb. 11:8-18, Sura 3:96-97, Sura 22:26-31), foreshadowing God offering up His own miracle son 2000 years later.
Abraham didn’t go to Mecca, and neither did Hagar nor Ishmael, which explains why there’s no mention of Mecca anywhere in either the Bible or the Koran. The foundations of “The House” that Abraham and Isaac raised should be obvious (Isa. 28:16): the altar Abraham and Isaac built on Mt. Moriah marked the exact spot for “the Holy of Holies”, in the TRUE House of God that Solomon built in JERUSALEM. And their steadfast obedience to God was built upon by Isaac’s son Jacob into “The House of Israel”.
6. Are they stoned?
Set into the eastern corner of the big black cube in Mecca blasphemously referred to as the “Ka’bah”, lies a small, black, oval stone in a fabricated, vagina-shaped silver frame. This little piece of spiritual kryptonite supposedly “came down from Jannah (Paradise)” according to At-Tirmidhi, Sunan, hadith no. 877, which is classified as an “authentic hadith” by Sheikh Al-Albaani in his book Sahih At-Tirmidthi, hadith no. 695. It then beat out hundreds of other candidates for its special place in the “Masjid al-Haram”, winning the reverence and admiration of Islamic pilgrims everywhere (although “Muslims” claim they don’t worship it).
“Muslims” believe it was brought to or found in Mecca and “put there by the Prophet Abraham and Ishmael (peace be upon them both)” to initiate “tawaf”, i.e. the mindless circling (“circumambulation”) around this little black rock for which the cubical, black-robed mosque was purportedly built (but they don’t worship it?).
We shouldn’t let the complete lack of any scientific, historical or archaeological evidence placing Abraham or Ishmael anywhere near what is today Mecca, stand in the way of this tail-chasing exercise. This is the stuff of myth and legend, right (but they don’t worship it?)?
The little black stone allegedly is “the right hand of Allah Most High” (seriously, a piece of stone is the right hand of God, Who is a spirit?) according to Ibn Qutayba in Ta’ wil (but they don’t worship it?).
It’s also purportedly “the depository of the covenant of human souls with Allah on the Day of Promise” (but they don’t worship it?). How exactly did The Covenant with God get INSIDE of a solid piece of rock where no one can read it, much less follow it?
According to At-Tirmidhi, Sunan, it absorbs sins, i.e. it can take away the sins of the world (like Jesus/Isa, trying to replace Christ?): “the sins of the sons of Adam made it black” (but they don’t worship it?).
Millions of “Muslims” from all over the world go to Mecca annually to prostrate themselves before it (but they don’t worship it?).
They try to kiss it (but they don’t worship it?).
If they can’t kiss it, they desperately reach out to touch it (but they don’t worship it?).
If they can’t touch or kiss it, they point to it, while circling it (but they don’t worship it?).
It will reportedly “testify in favor of those who touched it in sincerity” (but they don’t worship it?).
“Muslims” across the globe consistently “pray” facing the direction of this little black stone, despite being COMMANDED by God to face Jerusalem (but they don’t worship it?).
Shouldn’t it deter Real Muslims from these practices to learn that the “Ka’bah” previously served as a pagan mosque in polytheistic Mecca (Sura 9:107-111), which reportedly housed over 360 different stones, statues and other idols? What part of “Abraham was NOT of the pagans” (Sura 3:95) is so difficult to understand? And why do you think it’s covered in a black curtain? To keep out God and His Light?
Shouldn’t it similarly be troubling to learn that circumambulation around that very same place of idol worship was originally (and still is) a pagan ritual too (although it used to be performed naked), as was (and still is) running back and forth between Asaf (Isaf) and Na’ila (Nayelah), which were later renamed Safa and Marwa? But these heathen practices – including making a little black stone the center of the entire Islamic universe – supposedly shouldn’t be seen as idol worship?
How can anyone take any of this seriously? How obvious does it need to be that this little black stone is nothing more than a cheap, idolatrous substitute for the SPIRITUAL CHIEF CORNERSTONE of Israel (Gen. 49:24, Isa. 28:16, Matt. 21:42-43, 1 Cor. 10:4, Sura 3:55), Who actually did come down from heaven to take away the sins of the world (John 3:13)?
And when is fabricating a completely fake history, using the names of God’s Prophets, to intentionally deceive others into overt paganism – including the worship of a meaningless little black stone that God has broken into pieces more than once – somehow not seen as assigning multiple partners to God and His Word (Sura 16:84-91, Deut. 4:13, 27-31, 32:37, Isa. 43:9)?
Making a little black stone (or anything else) a partner with God is a stoning offense, which is exactly what that little black stone should be used for to do to anyone who venerates it (Deut. 13:6-10).
5. Ark Enemies
The Ark of The Covenant is one of the two most important artefacts on planet Earth, the other being its fellow hostage (2 Chron. 25:24), the Stone of Destiny, aka Jacob’s Pillar Stone, which has served for thousands of years as the coronation stone/throne for the kings of Israel, all of whom after Saul have been descendants of king David, leading up to Christ.
The construction (Exod. 25:10-22) and history of THE Ark of THE Covenant (there’s only ONE Ark of The Covenant and only ONE Covenant inside The Ark), up to c. 586 B.C., are well-documented in the Bible, which the Koran was sent to CONFIRM.
So what have the evil Mohammedan historical revisionists and their spiritually blind imams done with God’s Message about His Ark containing His Covenant with His People Israel? The same thing they always do; rip-off from the Bible and invent another self-contradictory fable.
In the contrived Islamic “tradition” (Matt. 15:3, 9), The Ark of The Covenant (hereafter referred to as “The Ark”) was purportedly sent down from heaven to Adam, incredibly with its instruction manual in Arabic, over 4000 years before the first word in Arabic was ever uttered or written!
It then allegedly survived for thousands of years without mention or record, including through the flood, before magically making its way into Ishmael’s hands, after he wasn’t offered as a sacrifice by Abraham, so the two of them could supposedly haul it over 1200 km of the most inhospitable terrain on Earth, on the trip they never took. How else could they have carried all the tools and materials they would need to build the house they never built?
But wait…there’s more!
How did The Ark find its way back into Israelite hands from the Ishmaelites, to allegedly be used as a “weapon of war” by Moses, Aaron, David, and Solomon? Why, through Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, of course. You see, the Israelites and the Ishmaelites supposedly traded this awesome “weapon” back and forth over the centuries, like a timeshare condo.
To make this convoluted story work requires the fabrication and acceptance of an entire series of similarly preposterous events, including:
• Resurrecting Samuel hundreds of years after his death, to pray for an Israelite king that Samuel never wanted (1 Sam. 8:4-22), so he could fight and lose against Nebuchadnezzar;
• Solomon rebuilding a Temple that never before existed, to allegedly honor Muhammad, more than 1500 years before Muhammad was born;
• Menelik 1 supposedly carrying The Ark to Ethiopia hundreds of years before Jeremiah took it and Jacob’s Pillar Stone from Jerusalem to Tanis, Egypt;
• Jesus and Mary making an undocumented trip to Ethiopia to receive/claim The Ark;
• The Ark “returning” to Ethiopia (where it had never been in the first place), by unspecified means after Jesus was raised, supposedly so it could secretly be kept there for another 600 years, awaiting Muhammad to check it out, like a library book, even though Muhammad never saw The Ark, nor claimed to have seen it; and
• It then purportedly follows, according to Islamic fable, that a special Zulfiqar sword was taken from The Ark that no “Muslim” has ever seen, by Ali ibn Abi Talib, Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law, just as God allegedly wanted, even though God never told anyone any of these things in His Holy Koran or in His Holy Bible. Another version of the tale has Gabriel purportedly handing the Zulfiqar sword to Muhammad, who then supposedly gave it to Ali ibn Abi Talib to use at the battle of Trench, before it was allegedly placed inside of the Ark of The Covenant that neither Muhammad nor Ali ever saw.
For a summary account of the fictional “Islamic perspective” of The Ark of The Covenant:
The Hidden Islamic History of the Ark of the Covenant: By Sayyid Ahmed Amiruddin
And for the actual passage about The Ark found in the Koran:
Sura 2:246-248
2:246 – Hast thou not turned thy vision to the Chiefs of the Children of Israel after (the time of) Moses? They said to a Prophet (that was) among them: “Appoint for us a king, that we may fight in the Cause of God (1 Sam. 8:4-10).” He said: “Is it not possible, if ye were commanded to fight, that ye will not fight?” They said: “How could we refuse to fight in the Cause of God, seeing that we were turned out of our homes and our families?” But when they were commanded to fight, they turned back, except a small band among them. But God has full Knowledge of those who do wrong.
2:247 – THEIR Prophet (Samuel) said to them: “(God) hath appointed Talut (Saul) as king over you.” They said: “How can he exercise authority over us when we are better fitted than he to exercise authority, and he is not even gifted, with wealth in abundance?” He said: “(God) hath chosen him above you, and hath gifted him abundantly with Knowledge and bodily prowess: God granteth His authority to whom He pleaseth. God careth for all, and He knoweth all things.”
2:248 – And (further) THEIR Prophet said to them: “A Sign of his authority (Matt. 7:29, John 3:35-36, Sura 43:61) is that there SHALL* come to you The Ark of The Covenant, with (an assurance) therein of security from your Lord, and the relics left by the family of Moses and the family of Aaron, carried by angels. In this is a Symbol for you IF ye indeed have faith.”
*Note: the modal verb ”shall” indicates a FUTURE event, and therefore cannot possibly be referring to Muhammad, who never saw The Ark, nor was ever anywhere near it.
Could the above passage about the Children of Israel, their Prophet, and the Ark of The Covenant that God made with them be any clearer? Muhammad was NOT “their Prophet” (a prophet to the Children of Israel after Moses); Samuel was. And Samuel, as well as Solomon and Menelik 1, died hundreds of years before Nebuchadnezzar sacked Jerusalem, at which time The Ark was still located in Jerusalem.
Genesis 17:20-21
17:20 – And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
17:21 – But MY COVENANT WILL I ESTABLISH WITH ISAAC, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
The Children of Israel are the descendants of Jacob/Israel, NOT Ishmael. Jacob/Israel was descended from Isaac, the miracle son that God promised to Abraham, whom Abraham was later asked to sacrifice on Mt. Moriah in Jerusalem, NOT Ishmael. And The Ark of The Covenant will be a sign of the authority of The Anointed One/Guided One – The Messiah/Christ/Mahdi – Who will discover its true location during His Second Coming, right before the Last Day, exactly as prophesied in both the Bible and Koran.
There is only ONE Ark of The Covenant, ONE Covenant (Gen. 17:20-21), ONE Anointed/Guided One, ONE shared history, and ONE Truth from The ONE True God to be found in His Holy Scriptures. The Holy Scriptures which include the Old Covenant, New Covenant and the Holy Koran, exactly as it says repeatedly throughout the Koran (e.g. Sura 6:153-157, 9:111), and exactly as has been prophetically fulfilled in The King of kings’ Bible (Rev. 5:1-5), where the three are finally together and fully cross-referenced, for the first time in human history as ONE Book.
4. Playing the harlot
Like the city of Mecca, there is no reference in the Holy Koran to the Hadith or Sunnah or “Sharia law” by name, nor by implication. In fact, the Koran repeatedly warns its readers NOT to assign partners to God and His Word/Truth.
Please See – Suras 3:64, 4:36, 4:48, 5:102, 6:22-24, 6:78-81, 6:136-137, 6:148, 6:163, 7:33, 7:190-199, 9:31, 10:18, 10:28, 10:34-37, 10:66, 11:55, 12:38, 12:105-108, 13:16, 13:33-36, 16:1-3, 16:27, 16:86-88, 16:98-101, 17:111, 18:42, 18:52, 18:110, 22:31, 23:59, 23:92, 25:2, 28:62-64, 28:68, 30:12-14, 30:40, 34:27, 35:14, 35:40, 40:12, 40:42, 40:84-85, 41:47-48, 42:21, 59:23, 68:41
Throughout the Old Covenant (where God’s Law is found), New Covenant and Koran, we are warned NOT to join/partner any written-down man-made “oral traditions” with God’s Message of Truth, regardless of whatever irrelevant “chains of transmission” they may claim to have.
Sura 5:4 – Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat (Lev. 22:8, Deut. 14:21), blood (Lev. 3:17, Lev. 17:10-11), the flesh of swine (Deut. 14:8), and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than “I AM” (Num. 25:1-3); that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal (Lev. 22:8); unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form) that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject Faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not, but fear Me (Matt. 10:28). THIS DAY* I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for YOU, submission to My will, as your religion (Matt. 6:9-13). But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, “I AM” is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
*This leaves absolutely NO wiggle room for men to fabricate additional sayings allegedly attributed to Muhammad AFTER the Koran, like Muhammad al-Bukhari “compiled” over 200 years after the death of Muhammad (Muhammad from the Koran).
God even made sure that if someone did read the Hadith they would find Muhammad specifically instructed those around him NOT to write anything from him, except the Koran (Quran).
Ibn Saeed Al-Khudry reported that God’s messenger had said:
“Do not write anything from me EXCEPT QURAN. Anyone who wrote anything other than the Quran shall erase it.”
From Ibn Hanbal: Zayd Ibn Thabit (The apostle’s closest revelation writer) visited the Khalifa Mu’aawiyah (more than 30 years after the apostle’s death), and told him a story about the apostle. Mu’aawiyah liked the story and ordered someone to write it down. But Zayd said:
“the messenger of God ORDERED us NEVER to write anything of his hadith”
The famous book “Ulum Al-Hadith” by Ibn Al-Salah, reports a hadith by Abu Hurayra in which Abu Hurayra said the messenger of God came out to us while we were writing his hadiths and said:
“What are you writing?” We said: “Hadiths that we hear from you, messenger of God.” He said: “A book other than the book of God?!” We said: “Should we talk about you?” He said: “Talk about me, that would be fine, but those who will lie will go to Hell.” Abu Hurayra said: “We collected what we wrote of Hadiths and burned them in fire”.
Ibn Hanbal in his Musnad book, narrates a hadith in which Abdullah Ibn Omar said that the messenger of God one day came out to us, as if he was going to depart us soon and said: “When I depart you (die), hold to the book of God, prohibit what it prohibits and accept as halal what it makes halal.” He never mentioned the Sunna in these hadiths.
Again, in the book “Taq-yeed Al-Ilm”, Abu Saeed Al-Khudry said:
“I asked the messenger of God a permission to write his hadiths, BUT HE REFUSED TO GIVE ME A PERMISSION.”
So what does “Islam” do after all of these clear signs? It teaches its unwitting (?) victims to ignore God, His Angels, His Messengers, His Warnings, His Prophecies and His Written COMMANDS, in favour of a collection of contradictory nonsense, written by people God did NOT send, about a man none of them knew, to perpetuate a deceitful, money-making business that God has repeatedly condemned.
How can so-called Muslims make partners out of every myth and made-up writing they can get their hands on, and still have the audacity to claim they aren’t committing shirk? There are reportedly over 100 times as many fanciful sayings attributed to Muhammad Mustafa in the fabricated, satanic and contradictory Hadith as there are verses in the Holy Koran.
Sura 10:66 – Behold! Verily to “I AM” belong all creatures, in the heavens and on Earth. What do they follow who worship as His “partners” other than “I AM”? They follow nothing but fancy, and they do nothing but lie.
IT’S THE MESSAGE (TRUTH) FROM GOD THAT MATTERS, NOT WHO DELIVERS IT.
Sura 5:102 – The Messenger’s duty is only to proclaim (the Message)(John 7:16-17). But “I AM” knoweth all that ye reveal and ye conceal.
John 7:16-17
7:16 – Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me.
7:17 – IF any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself.
3. Duck and Cover
The sand-cliff foundation (Matt. 7:24-27, Sura 9:109) that the organized religion, which calls itself “Islam”, is built-upon has a repeating pattern: steal historical figures and artefacts from the Bible and Koran, fabricate incredible fairy-tales about them, and then repeat these lies as often as necessary to try to discredit the Bible that the Koran was sent to CONFIRM. How else could t.h.e.y. keep “Muslims” running around in circles, instead of reading the Bible, as they’re COMMANDED to do throughout the Koran?
That’s one of the reasons why the Roman Catholic “Meccans”, who invented the lucrative religious business of “Islam”, wrote the Hadith, to falsely claim the Bible was corrupted, even though the Koran says that could NEVER happen (Sura 15:9-10). They couldn’t have anyone believing the Bible, or the alterations they made to the Koran would quickly come to light and their cover would be blown, exposing all of the lies in their satanic Hadith about Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jerusalem, The Law, The Ark of The Covenant and about Jesus.
Anyone who reads the Koran should notice how often it COMMANDS us to read The Law and the Gospel, and that it assures us NOT TO BE IN DOUBT of it (the true Bible) reaching us, because God Himself promised to guard ALL of His Word/Scriptures from corruption (Sura 6:153-157, Sura 10:93-95, Sura 15:9-10, Sura 32:23).
Sura 15:9-10
15:9 – We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will ASSUREDLY guard it (from corruption).
15:10 – We did send Apostles BEFORE THEE amongst the religious sects (John 17:21; Sura 6:159) of old:
Sura 32:23 We did indeed aforetime give The Book (The Torah – The Law) to Moses: be then NOT IN DOUBT of its (The Torah) reaching (THEE): and We made it a Guide to the Children of Israel.
Unfortunately, the corrupt and spiritually blind imams have corrupted the word “corruption”, just as they’ve done with the words “Islam” and “Muslim”. How could God’s Word EVER be corrupted? Especially when He has told us that can NEVER happen?
Corruption is unlawful, dishonest behaviour, particularly by those in positions of power, like the leaders of church and state (Isa. 3:12), which can and does destroy a nation and its people from within. It can also be used to describe information that has been altered in such a way that it’s no longer usable, i.e. its intended message is destroyed. How could either of those ever describe our PERFECT and UNCHANGING Creator or His Word/Message of Truth?
Have alterations and intentional mistranslations been made to the Bible? Of course. Has the same thing happened to the Koran? Absolutely. Were these incorrect writings of God’s Word prophesied? YES. We’re even told exactly why God allows it, if anyone is paying attention.
Sura 6:112-115
6:112 – Likewise We made for every Messenger an enemy,- evil ones among men and Beings (human+beings), inspiring each other with flowery discourses by way of deception. If thy Lord had so planned, they would not have done it: so leave them and their inventions alone.
6:113 – To such (deceit) let the hearts of those incline, who have no faith in the Hereafter: let them delight in it, and let them earn from it what they may.
6:114 – Say: “Shall I seek for judge other than “I AM”? – when He it is Who hath sent unto you The Book (Bible), explained in detail.” They, to whom We have given The Book, know full well, that it hath been sent down from thy Lord in truth. NEVER be then one of those who doubt (Sura 3:1-3, 15:9, 32:23).
6:115 – The Word of thy Lord doth find its FULFILLMENT in TRUTH and in JUSTICE: none can change His Words: for He is the One who heareth and knoweth all.
Sura 22:52-55
22:52 – Never did We send an Apostle or a Prophet before thee, but, when he framed a desire, Satan threw some (vanity) into his desire: but “I AM” will cancel anything (vain) that Satan throws in, and “I AM” WILL CONFIRM (AND ESTABLISH) HIS SIGNS (Sura 32:23): for “I AM” is full of Knowledge and Wisdom:
22:53 – THAT HE MAY MAKE THE SUGGESTIONS THROWN IN BY SATAN, BUT A TRIAL FOR THOSE IN WHOSE HEARTS IS A DISEASE AND WHO ARE HARDENED OF HEART: verily the wrong-doers are in a schism far (from the Truth):
22:54 – And that those on whom Knowledge has been bestowed may learn that the (Koran) is the Truth from thy Lord, and that they may believe therein, and their hearts may be made humbly (open) to it: for verily “I AM” is the Guide, of those who believe, to The Straight Way (Matthew 7:13-14, John 14:6, Sura 3:55).
22:55 – Those who reject Faith will not cease to be in doubt concerning (Revelation) until The Hour (of Judgment) comes suddenly upon them, or there comes to them the Penalty of a Day of Disaster.
Sura 25:31 – Thus have We made for every Prophet an enemy among the sinners: but enough is thy Lord to guide and to help.
COMPARE WITH: Enoch 104:8, 2 Thess. 2:7-12
So how do we recognize and correct the alterations? Again, we need only turn to the Scripture for the answer, where God has told us that when His Words have been correctly written in our own languages, all of them SHALL concur and MUST have multiple witnesses (Num. 35:30, Deut. 17:6, Deut. 19:15).
Enoch 104:9-11
104:9 – They (My words) shall neither change nor diminish (Deut. 4:2, 12:32, Matt. 5:17-19, Mark 13:31); but when all shall be written correctly; ALL, which from the first I have uttered concerning them SHALL CONCUR (John 10:35; Sura 15:9-10).
104:10 – Another secret also I point out. To the righteous and the wise shall be given Books of joy, of integrity, and of great Wisdom. To them shall Books be given (Rev. 10:7-10, Rev. 2:17), in which they shall believe (and Live by);
104:11 – And in which they shall rejoice. And all the righteous shall be rewarded, who from these (Books) shall acquire the Knowledge of The Straight Way (Deut. 31:29, Matt. 7:13-14, John 14:6, Rev. 14:1-4, Sura 6:153-161).
Sura 39:23 – “I AM” has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book (Sura 9:111), CONSISTENT WITH ITSELF, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften (Ezek. 36:26) to the celebration of “I AM”‘s praises (Prov. 1:7; 9:10). Such is the Guidance from “I AM”: He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as “I AM” leaves to stray, can have none to guide.
This is how and why ANY additions or alterations made to the Bible or the Koran stick out like a sore thumb, and how we can know when something has been removed or changed. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…it’s a duck!
An example of recognizing something has been wrongfully removed is the Book of Enoch itself. Enoch (Idris) is mentioned in The Law (Gen. 5:22-24), elsewhere in the Old Covenant (Sol. 4:10, Wis. 44:16), in the New Covenant (Heb. 11:5), and in the Koran (Sura 19:56-57). Enoch also stands out as being the only one to ever be “translated”. If Father (God) raised Enoch to such a lofty station, shouldn’t the Book that Enoch and Noah were given by Father (Allah) and Archangel Prince Michael be accepted as part of Father’s Word?
Below are a few examples of very obvious alterations made to the Koran, which have been corrected in the King of kings’ Bible:
• Sura 2:125 and Sura 2:127, where Ishmael was deceitfully substituted for Isaac by the Roman Catholic Meccans. We are literally told exactly where the sacrifice was made in Sura 2:126: JERUSALEM (the City of Peace), NOT in Mecca (the city of physical altercation – Makkah not Mecca).
• Sura 3:96, where “Becca” has been deceitfully substituted for “Bakkah” (the Valley of Baca near Jerusalem/Zion – Ps. 84:6-7), to pretend that Becca is somehow Mecca. An honest look at the context reveals it cannot possibly be referring to Mecca (see Sura 3:93-97).
• Sura 48:24, where “Mecca” has likewise been deceitfully inserted.
There are layers, upon layers, upon layers of error correction built into the Bible, to ensure its Message of Truth can NEVER be corrupted by idiots and barbarians.
Lucifer/Iblis/Satan/Abaddon (the opposer and destroyer) working through puny humans to somehow corrupt the eternally safe-guarded Word of our ALL-POWERFUL God? How utterly ridiculous!
2. Ignorance isn’t bliss; it’s just ignorance
“Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarite, whom ye crucified, WHOM GOD RAISED FROM THE DEAD, [even] by him doth this man stand here before you whole. THIS is the Stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the Head of the Corner (Matt. 21:42). Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” – Acts of the Apostles 4:10-12
2000 years ago, a miracle child was born to a virgin, to set Him apart from everyone else, so people would take notice of Him and HEAR Him (Mark 9:7).
The miracle birth of Jesus to the virgin Mary is prophesied in the Old Covenant (Isa. 7:14), fulfilled and recorded in the New Covenant (Matt. 1:18-23, Luke 1:27-35), and CONFIRMED in the Koran (Sura 3:42-47, 19:16-37). We literally changed the way we keep time on this planet because of this miracle. Who then could do more wrong than to ignore such Clear Signs from our Lord?
B.C. = Before Christ
A.D. = Anno Domini = in the year of our Lord
Similarly, the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus is prophesied in the Old Covenant (Ps. 22, Isa. 53:1-11, Dan. 9:25-27, Zech. 11:11-13) and New Covenant (Matt. 12:39-40, 20:17-19, 26:2, Mark 9:31, 10:32-34), fulfilled and recorded in the New Covenant (Matt. 27, Mark 15:17-16:8, John 19:14-21:25), and CONFIRMED in the Koran (Sura 3:55, 4:157-158, 6:122, 19:33-34).
We also have recorded in the Bible, which the Koran was sent to CONFIRM (not to contradict), a list of eyewitnesses to both the crucifixion and resurrection.
Witnesses to the crucifixion of Jesus:
• Joseph of Arimathaea, Jesus’ great-uncle, who claimed the body (Matt. 27:57-60, Mark 15:43-46, Luke 23:50-53, John 19:38)
• Mary Magdelene, and Mary, the mother of Jesus (Matt. 27:55-56, Mark 15:40, 15:47, John 19:25-27)
• The mother of Zebedee’s children (Matt. 27:56)
• John, the disciple of Jesus (John 19:25-27, 19:35)
• And all Jesus’ acquaintances (Luke 23:49)
Witnesses of the resurrected Jesus:
• Mary Magdelene (Matt. 28:9-10, John 20:15-18)
• Mary, the mother of Jesus (Matt. 28:9-10)
• Simon, the Pharisee and Alphaeus Cleophas (Luke 24:13-32)
• The eleven disciples (Luke 24:33-51, John 20:19-30)
• Simon Peter, Thomas, Nathanael, James and John (the sons of Zebedee) and two other disciples on another occasion (John 21)
Despite the perfect agreement between the Bible and the Koran on the miracle virgin-birth of Jesus, despite the numerous references within the Bible and Koran concerning the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus – which likewise are in perfect agreement IF properly understood – despite the documented accounts of dozens of eyewitnesses by multiple Apostles, despite over 121 secular, non-Biblical citations for Jesus outside the New Covenant/Testament that confirm the details of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection in Jerusalem, during the same period the events in the New Covenant/Testament are described, despite dozens of COMMANDS in the Koran to read and believe the Bible, despite the Koran itself plainly stating it was sent to CONFIRM the Bible, and despite numerous warnings in the Koran against becoming an UNBELIEVER, by picking and choosing which Apostles to believe (Sura 4:150-152), what do “Muslims” do?
They ignore God’s Messengers and pretend the crucifixion and resurrection never happened.
This is what the Koran actually teaches about the crucifixion and about God raising Jesus from the dead after being buried for 3 days and 3 nights (Sura 3:42-55):
Sura 3:45, 48-55
3:45 – Behold! the angels said: “O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of The Word (John 1:1-5) from Him: he will be called Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those NEAREST to God.
3:48 – And GOD WILL TEACH HIM The Book (Old Covenant) and Wisdom, The Law (The Torah) and The Gospel (John 5:20-21, John 7:15-19, Sura 7:157-158),
3:49 – And (appoint him) an Apostle to the Children of Israel, (with this message): “’I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave: and I HEAL THOSE BORN BLIND (John 9), and the lepers, and I enliven the dead, by God’s leave and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. SURELY therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;
3:50 – (I have come to you), to affirm The Law which was before me (Matt. 5:17-20). And to make lawful to you part of what was (before) forbidden to you (Eph. 2:15, Col. 2:14); I have come to you WITH A SIGN FROM YOUR LORD (Matt. 12:39-40). So fear God, and obey me (John 14:15, 21-24).
3:51 – It is God Who is my Lord and your Lord (John 20:17) then worship Him. This is The Way that is Straight (Matt.7:13-14, John 14:6).”
3:52 When Jesus found Unbelief on their part he said: “Who will be My helpers to (the work of) God.” Said the disciples: “We are God’s helpers: we believe in God, and do thou bear witness that we are “True in Faith”.
3:53 – Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Messenger (John 1:14, 5:24); then write us down among those who bear witness (Luke 24:48, Acts 1:8, 2:32, 3:15, 5:32).”
3:54 – And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and God too planned, and the best of planners is God.
3:55 – Behold! GOD SAID: “O Jesus! I will take thee and RAISE THEE to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme*; I will make those who follow thee SUPERIOR to those who reject faith, to The Day of Resurrection: then shall ye all return unto Me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.
*Note well: those who falsely claim Jesus wasn’t crucified and raised by God from the dead after 3 days and 3 nights, are committing blasphemy by calling God a liar.
Sura 4:157-159
4:157 – That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ the son of Mary, the Messenger of God”;- but they killed Christ not, nor crucified Christ (John 1:10), but so it was made to appear to them (as they crucified the human body called Jesus, that Christ the spirit-being used – Psalm 22; Isaiah 52:13 to 54:1; Zechariah 11:10-13; Matthew 27), and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) Knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed Christ not:-
4:158 – NAY, GOD RAISED HIM UP UNTO HIMSELF and God is Exalted in Power, and in Wisdom;-
4:159 – And, of the People of The Book, they all MUST believe him (Christ) before their death; and on The Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them (and you) (Sura 43:61);-
Note well: Sura 4:157 is probably the most misunderstood verse in the Koran. IF it is read properly, it provides us with CLEAR SIGNS AND CONVINCING PROOF that The Messiah/Christ, the immortal spirit-Being incarnated inside the mortal human Jesus (John 1:14, Sura 2:87, Sura 2:253, Sura 5:113), was NOT crucified; but JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED AND RAISED FROM THE DEAD BY GOD HIMSELF, as it says throughout the Bible and Koran, including in the very next verse (Sura 4:158).
Further confirmation of the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus:
Sura 6:122 – Can he who was dead (Jesus – Matt. 27:50-54, Mark 15:37-39, Luke 23:44-47, John 19:30-42) to whom We gave life (Matt. 28:5-10, Mark 16:6-8, Luke 24, John 20), and a Light (John 3:19-21, John 8:3) with which he (Christ) walks amongst men, be like him who is in the depths of darkness (Lucifer), from which he can never come out? Thus to those without Faith their own deeds seem pleasing (Deut. 4:28, Matt. 6:5).
Excerpts from Sura 19:16-38, about Mary, the virgin birth, and Jesus:
19:19 – He said: “Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of an HOLY SON (Rev. 15:4, Sura 59:23, Sura 62:1).”
19:27 – At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: “O Mary! Truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!
19:33 – So Peace is on me the day I was born, THE DAY THAT I DIE, AND THE DAY THAT I SHALL BE RAISED UP TO LIFE (again)!”
19:34 – SUCH (WAS) JESUS THE SON OF MARY: (IT IS) A STATEMENT OF TRUTH, about which they (vainly) dispute.
19:35 – It is not befitting to (the Majesty of) “I AM” that He should beget a (human) son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, “Be”, and it is.
19:36 – Verily “I AM” is my Lord and your Lord: Him therefore serve ye: this is The Way that is straight.
19:37 – But the sects differ among themselves: and woe to the Unbelievers because of the (coming) Judgment of a Momentous Day!
19:38 – How plainly will they see and hear, the Day that they will appear before Us! But the unjust today are clearly in error!
Note well: the word “beget” in this context means to procreate through sexual intercourse. God is NOT a human [Num. 23:19, Hos. 11:9, John 4:24), and therefore does NOT have/beget human children. He did however CREATE the Angels (Spirit-Beings) which are referred to as the Sons of God (the immortal spirit-Beings, NOT the humans they incarnate – Sura 9:30)]. And in doing so, He became our Heavenly Father.
Jesus, WAS the mortal human son (“Son of Man”), born of the virgin body of Mary. Christ, the immortal Spirit-Being, IS the Firstborn/First-created Son of God. Together they formed the human+Being referred to as Jesus+Christ. It is The Messiah/Christ that is prophesied to return in a new body (Gen. 49:10, 22-24) with a new name (Rev. 2:17, 3:12, 19:12) just before the Last Day (Mal. 4, Sura 43:61), NOT Jesus.
Until these irrefutable FACTS are clearly understood and no longer ignored, so-called Muslims (unbelievers really) will continue to vainly dispute against God and His Messenger, until they too find themselves in The Fire, exactly as the Koran warns us at least 300 times.
1. The wrongly guided ones
Just as they did with other Biblical figures and His-Story, Mohammedan folklore has fabricated its own redeemer fable and eschatology, in its cult collection of sayings referred to as the Hadith.
This redeemer, referred to as the Mahdi, will allegedly rule for 7, 9 or 19 years just before the Last Day, and will rid the world of evil and injustice, by joining forces with The Messiah/Christ, to fight against the Masih ad-Dajjal, i.e. the false messiah/antichrist and his followers.
For those who may not know the meanings of the titles involved, they are as follows:
The “Messiah”/”Christ” is a title which means “The Anointed One”
The “Mahdi” is a title which means “The Rightly Guided One”
“Jesus” (“Isa”) is not just a name, but is likewise a title, which means “Saviour” or “Redeemer” (specifically “YHWH saves”). Therefore, all references to Christ-Jesus after the resurrection should be rendered Christ, the Saviour, to be properly translated.
So the obvious question that begs to be asked with this fable is this: when did the number “One” suddenly become two? Or do “Muslims” mistakenly believe that The ONE Whom God Himself Anointed (Luke 4:18, Heb. 1:9) and taught (John 5:20, Sura 3:48) isn’t rightly guided?
In the Koran, it specifically states the following in Sura 43:61:
“And [Isa (Christ, the Saviour)] shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but FOLLOW YE ME: this is the Straight Way.”
Please note well it does NOT say “follow ye us” or “follow ye me too”. It says “follow ye ME”. And Who is the Straight (and Strait) Way that leads to Life?
Matthew 7:13-14
7:13 – Enter ye in at the “Strait” gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
7:14 – Because Strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] The Way, which leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it.
John 14:6 – Jesus saith unto him, I am The Way, the Truth, and the Life: NOT one man cometh unto the Father, EXCEPT by me.
Who could be more rightly guided by God and His Holy Spirit than THE Good Shepherd (John 10:1-18), THE One and Only High-Priest for all-time (Heb. 6:20) and THE One and Only Mediator (1 Tim. 2:5) between God and men? There is NO ONE ELSE in the Koran that is described as being strengthened with the Holy Spirit (Christ) other than Jesus.
Sura 2:87 – We gave Moses The Book (The Torah – The Law) and followed him up with a succession of Apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) AND STRENGTHENED HIM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (CHRIST – John 14:15-19). Is it that whenever there comes to you an Apostle with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay (Matt. 21:33-46)!
Sura 2:253 – Those Apostles We endowed with gifts, some above others: to one of them God spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to Jesus the son of Mary We gave clear (Signs), AND RE-INFORCED HIM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (THE SPIRIT-BEING CHRIST – John 16:7-16). If God had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If God had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but God fulfilleth His Plan.
Sura 5:113 – Then will “I AM” say: “O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I STRENGTHENED THEE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (CHRIST), so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee The Book (The Torah and Prophets – John 7:15-17) and Wisdom (John 5:20), The Law (The Torah – John 5:46-47) and The Gospel (Mark 1:14-15) and behold! Thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, thou breathest into it (Gen. 2:7), and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind (John 9), and the lepers (Luke 7:22), by My leave (John 3:35). And behold! Thou bringest forth the dead by My leave (John 5:21). And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the Clear Signs (Luke 4:16-30), and the Unbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but sorcery’ (Mark 6:1-6).
IF “Muslims” actually did God’s Will (Islam), and read the Bible as He has COMMANDED them to do, they would see for themselves Who the Comforter/Holy Spirit really is: CHRIST (John 14:15-19, 16:7-16), Who is mentioned directly or indirectly over 300 times in the Koran.
John 16:7, 13-16
16:7 – Nevertheless I tell you the Truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I WILL SEND HIM UNTO YOU.
16:13 – 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 show you things to come.
16:14 – He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show [it] unto you.
16:15 – All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show [it] unto you.
16:16 – A little while, and ye shall not see me (3 days and 3 nights): and AGAIN, a little while (after the Ascension), and ye SHALL see me, BECAUSE I go to the Father.
John 14:17-18
14:17 – [Even] the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
14:18 – I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU.
How could anyone be more rightly guided than God’s Holy Spirit of Truth? How obvious does it need to be made that Christ is The Mahdi?
Sunnis falsely claim that the Mahdi will be a descendant of Muhammad, even though the Koran plainly states that MUHAMMAD DID NOT HAVE ANY MALE HEIRS, which is how God records a human family’s lineage in His Law.
Sura 33:40 – Muhammad is NOT the father of ANY of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of “I AM”, and the Seal of the Prophets*: and “I AM” has full knowledge of all things.
*CONFIRMING what the Prophets that came before him PROPHESIED
Shi’ites falsely claim the Mahdi will be “the twelfth imam”, even though the Mahdi Himself, speaking through the mouth of Jesus 2000 years ago, condemned ALL priests, pastors, rabbis and imams, etc., because there is only ONE Who is Rightly Guided, and thus in a position of authority, able to teach others: Christ, THE Master/Teacher/Imam of the 12 tribes of Israel, i.e. those who will be redeemed from the earth (Rev. 7:4-9).
Matthew 23:8 – But be not ye called priest (etc.): for ONE is your Teacher (Imam), [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.
1 Timothy 2:5 – For [there is] ONE God, and ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN God and men, the Man Jesus Christ;
How is it even possible for there to be Sunnis and Shi’ites – and all of the other sects in “Islam” – when God and His Messiah/Christ/Mahdi CONDEMNED all division and every sect/cult/organized religion, etc., ALL of which are based upon the cultural traditions (hadiths) of men which make the Commandments of God of no effect (Matt. 15:3, 9)?
Matthew 12:25 – And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and EVERY CITY OR HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF SHALL NOT STAND:
From The Messiah/Christ/Mahdi, in the Gospel of Jesus according to John:-
John 10:16 – And other sheep I have (the “House of Israel”), which are not of this fold (the “House of Judah”): them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one Shepherd (Eze 37:22 and Genesis 49:10).
John 13:34-35
13:34 – A new COMMANDment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
13:35 – By this shall all [men] KNOW that ye are my disciples, IF ye have love one to another.
John 15:12-14
15:12 – This is my COMMANDment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
15:13 – Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his “Self” life for his friends.
15:14 – Ye are my friends, IF ye DO whatsoever I command you.
John 17:11; 17:21-23
17:11 – And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep through Thine own name those whom Thou hast given me, that they may be ONE, as We [are].
17:21 – That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent me.
17:22 – And the glory which Thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are One:
17:23 – I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be made perfect in ONE; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved me.
Sura 6:159 – As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou MUST have NOTHING whatsoever to do with it, even in the least: their affair is with “I AM”: in the end He will tell them the truth of all that they did.
Sura 42:13-14
42:13 – The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah – the which We have sent by inspiration to thee – and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and JESUS: namely, that ye should remain steadfast in Religion (bonded obligation to “I AM”), AND MAKE NO DIVISIONS THEREIN: to those who worship other things than “I AM”, hard is The (Way) to which thou callest them. “I AM” chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).
42:14 – And they became DIVIDED only AFTER Knowledge reached them,- through selfish envy between themselves. Had it not been for a Word (John 1:14) that went forth before from thy Lord, (tending) to a Term appointed, the matter would have been settled between them: but truly those who have inherited The Book (Bible) after them are in suspicious (disquieting) doubt concerning it (Sura 32:23).
Sura 49:10 – THE BELIEVERS ARE BUT A SINGLE (ONE) BROTHERHOOD: so make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear “I AM”, that YE may receive Mercy (Matt. 5:9).
Please See – Suras 3:103-105, 11:17, 13:36, 15:10-11, 15:90-91, 19:37, 21:92-93, 23:52-53, 30:30-33, 38:1-2, 43:64-67
Conclusions
Anyone who doesn’t break free of their organized religion’s superstitions, and learn to follow Christ’s Example of DOING God’s Will, precisely as it says throughout the Bible and Koran, will face The Fire on Judgment Day. We will ALL be judged by The Messiah/Christ/Mahdi (Matt. 25:31-46, John 5:22), so who could do more wrong (Sura 18:56-57) than someone who doesn’t get to know Him NOW, after all of these clear Signs from God (John 17:3)?
The best and ONLY Way to make the most of what little time you have left is to read, study and put into practice The Survival Plan, which is the “little book” that God promised to deliver during the end-times (Rev. 10:6-10) entitled The Way home or face The Fire by JAH. The title is self-explanatory.
Start anew today, by learning some fresh and real humility, this time DOING what the Lord says and not what you decide or make-up yourself. The “self” has to be crucified DAILY (Matt. 10:38, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:26-27, Gal. 2:20, Sura 6:162) until it is DEAD and you want only to serve the Lord and the common good, keeping the COMMANDments; Covenants; His Laws and Ways (found ONLY in His Bible) and NOT your own.
All Scriptural quotes are from the King of kings’ Bible (Rev. 5:1-5, Rev. 19:16), where the Old Covenant, New Covenant and Koran are together (Sura 9:111) and fully cross-referenced, for the first time in human history. ONE Book for ONE Brotherhood of Believers.
Peace be upon you.

They are the Two Witnesses prophesied about in the Book of Revelation. These Two Witnesses used to spread the news about God around the world, carrying His Word, and Perfect Laws with them. During their days of testimony, God gave them power. They were His candlesticks, translating the Bible (Light) into many languages and distributing them around the world.
