Peace be upon us as we seek sanity in the midst of insanity. Peace
be upon us as we seek to know better the One true God/Allah who is closer than
the vein in our neck. Peace be unto us as we seek to know the Unity of the
Spirit in the bond of Peace that passes all understanding and guards our hearts
and minds.
God/Allah SWT desires that we seriously study these things, for He
has the authority to put us in Heaven or sentence us to Hell, based on His
justice. Though God/Allah SWT has inscribed the rule of Mercy as an attribute
above all others being called Ar’ Rahmanir Rahim (the Most Merciful and
Compassionate One), so He has warned us to watch and prepare at all times for
the coming of death and the Kiamat (Day of Judgment). All men are appointed to
die once and then face the Day in which we all must give an account to our
Creator for the choices we have made or failed to make in our time on earth.
"Nay, Allah raised (rafa’a) him up (Jesus/Isa,pbuh) unto
Himself; and Allah is exalted in Power, Wise.
"(Qu’ran (Al Nisa) 4:158).
"(Qu’ran (Al Nisa) 4:158).
According to both Muslims and Christians, Jesus/Isa (pbuh) is His
"Sign unto men and a
Mercy from us" Qu’ran 19
Maryam 19:21, …"whose Name is the
Messiah, illustrious in this world and in the Hereafter." (Qu’ran 3 Al
Imran 45), for Jesus/Isa is
the UnCreated Word of God/Allah "…an Apostle (Rasul) of Allah, and His Word (Kalimatuhu), which He bestowed on
Mary, and a Spirit proceeding
from Him (Ruhu minh)"
(Qu’ran Al Nisa 4:171).
Why would Jesus/Isa (pbuh) alone be given by God/Allah SWT the
title of Messiah (al-Masih), over eleven times in the Qu’ran? Why would
Jesus/Isa (pbuh) alone then be given the title of His Word (Kalimatuhu)?
Jesus/Isa (pbuh) is further called "…a Word from Him
(Kalimatim min hus)" (Qu’ran Ali Imran 3:45), and again "…a Word from Allah (Kalimatim
minallaahi)" (Qu’ran Ali Imran 3:39).
"…(Jesus)Isa is Roh-ul-Lah (The Spirit of Allah), Rasullah
(The Messenger of Allah) and Kalimatullah (the Word of Allah)." (Anas bin
Malik hal: 72. Qs 4 An Nisaa’ 171).
As the Ahl al Kitab (People of the Book), Christians take every
word God says seriously, and they have no need to exaggerate the greatness of
the Messiah, for God/Allah SWT Himself lifts Jesus/Isa (pbuh) high above all
other names!
The divine mission of Jesus/Isa (pbuh) has never ended, for
Jesus/Isa is the UnCreated Word, the everLiving Messiah and Rasul, living
Today. The Day of Judgment has been given into his hands alone by God/Allah SWT
for ALL MANKIND!
When we pray, we ask God/Allah SWT, to "Show us the
Straight Path" (Qu’ran 1 Al-Fatihah 6. Jesus/Isa
(pbuh) is that Straight Path to be followed! "And
(Jesus) 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." (Qu’ran
43 Az Zukhrut 61).
In Surah 19:19, Jesus/Isa (pbuh) alone is called a Sinless One in
all the Qu’ran!
He is called "holy" (zakiy-pure, sinless) son (Ghulam
(youth or young man). Some Muslim scholars would argue that "zakiy
ghulam" means that all infants born are sinless, hence attempting to
resolve the problem of a "once in all history" birth of the Sinless
Jesus, but this cannot hold up to a careful look. The word used here
"Ghulam" meaning youth or young man is similar to that used in Surah
18:74 (a slain youth by Al Khidr), v.80 (rebellious youth), vs.82 (two orphans
youth attaining their age of full strength to claim hidden treasure under the
wall). To avoid confusion, another word "Tifl" meaning "little
children or infants" as in Surah 22:5, 40:67 should have been used in
Surah 19:19 if only those below the age of accountability is intended!
My friend, use the mind God/Allah SWT has given you! Why was
Jesus/Isa (pbuh) protected from Satan? (Surah 3:36), and "Blessed
(Mubarakan) wheresoever he be." (Surah
19:31)? Only Jesus/Isa (pbuh) is able to be in the Presence of God (Surah
4:158) after his ascension without being pulverized like the mountain when God
appeared to Moses (Surah 7:143).
Truly, Moses (pbuh) pointed forward to Jesus/Isa as the UnCreated
Word of God, the Messiah, the Sinless One, the everLiving One Today. Jesus/Isa
(pbuh) was born of a virgin, "The Word became flesh" (Gospel/Injil
John 1:14), and dwelt on earth as a once in all history Miracle working Man?
Why?
Just as Moses (pbuh) pointed forward to Jesus/Isa (pbuh) in History,
Muhammad (pbuh) pointed back in History to the "Center of
All History and Judgment on All Mankind", for Muhammad was supposed to
be only a Warner (Nazir), to Seal the Truth that Jesus/Isa is the Messiah, the
UnCreated Word of God!
Jesus/Isa (pbuh) was sent by God/Allah SWT not just to the Jewish
people, but rather to the Entire World in every Age of Mankind, for he is the
Judge!
"All authority has been given to Me (Jesus/Isa) in heaven
and on the earth, GO, therefore and make disciples of ALL NATIONS
(ethnos/tribes and peoples including Arabs), baptizing them in the name of the
Father (God/Allah SWT), the Son (the Kalimatuhu,UnCreated Word of God born
Sinless of a virgin), and the Holy Spirit (Ruhuminh), teaching them to observe
ALL THINGS whatever I have commanded you, and behold, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS,
even to the end of the age." (Gospel/Injil, Matthew 28: 18-20).
God/Allah’s Word is ETERNAL! He has an Eternal Plan for the Ages, "…that in the ages to come, He
might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness towards us through
Jesus/Isa, the Messiah, …for God, who is rich in MERCY, made us alive with the
Messiah, even when we were dead in sin, it is by grace you have been saved and
God/Allah raised us up with the Messiah, and seated us with him in Heavenly
Realms (present tense) in Jesus the Messiah." (Injil/Ephesians 2:4-7).
Therefore, since Jesus/Isa (pbuh) is more than just a Prophet, but
rather the Eternal UnCreated Word of God/Allah SWT, his Position and Authority
is Eternal as well! In the Taruat/Old Testament, the book of Isaiah (pbuh), we
find the prophecy of Jesus/Isa (pbuh) written hundreds of years before both the
Injil and the Qu’ran saying,
"Therefore, the Lord Himself shall give you a Sign, BEHOLD, A
VIRGIN SHALL CONCEIVE AND BEAR A SON, AND SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL (meaning
God/Allah SWT with us). (Taruat/ Isaiah 7:14). Then in the following chapters
it speaks of this son saying, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son
is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be
called Wonderful Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince
of Peace, of the increase of his government and peace there shall be NO
END!" (Taruat/ Isaiah 9:6,7).
Think of the implications of what the Word of God/Allah says, the
Government that Jesus/Isa (pbuh) MUST increase and never, never, never, never,
End.
In the Qu’ran, are you asked to OBEY any other than God/Allah SWT?
To the One we OBEY, then He is Lord! In the Qu’ran, Jesus/Isa (pbuh) says, "(I have come to you) To
attest the Law (Taruat) which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of
what was (before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from the
Lord, SO FEAR GOD/ALLAH and OBEY ME!" (Surah 3:50).
In Truth, who is the Last Prophet? If Jesus/Isa (pbuh) is the
Eternal UnCreated Word of God, living Forever speaking for God/Allah, Judging
in the Judgment upon ALL MANKIND, both Christian and Muslim, chronologically,
who is Last?
You must have the courage to answer this between you and God/Allah
SWT.
Jesus/Isa (pbuh) is not the forerunner preparing the way for
Islam, for he is the UnCreated Word of God, "Jesus Christ (the Messiah,
Anointed One), is the same yesterday, and today, and forever." (Injil/
Hebrews 13:8).
"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: O Children of
Israel I am the Apostle of Allah (sent) to you confirming the Law (which
came/Taraut/Old Testament) before me, and giving glad tidings of an Apostle to
come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad" (Qu’ran, Surah 61:6).
Jesus/Isa (pbuh) was talking to Israelites in the context of Surah
61:6 of the coming Rasul named Ahmad who will also be sent to the Israelites.
There is NO mention of the Ishmaelites, Arabs or Quraishites in Surah 61:6….AN
ISRAELITE RASUL IS ANTICIPATED! The name Ahmad and not Muhammad was given. The meaning of
both names are different and also antithetical-Ahmad means "one who gives
praise" and Muhammad means "one who receives praise or
praiseworthy"! According to Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan and Dr. Muhammad Taqi
ud Din Al-Hilali, The Noble
Quran, pg. 790, "the
second name of Muhammad and it (Ahmad) literally meaning "One who praises Allah
more than others."
Sahih al-Bukhari vol. 6, pg. 488 states Surah 61:6 is a variant
reading and the name "Ahmad or "Muhammad" was not stipulated but
ONLY AN UNNAMED PROPHET was given: "O Children of Israel, I am God’s
Messenger to you and I announce to you a prophet whose community will be the
last community and by which God will put the seal of the prophets and
messengers".
This prophecy is apparently by the Muslim scholars own admission
not a clear Sign (Ayat) of God/Allah SWT. This is not consistent with the claim
in Surah 2:1, "This is the Book in its guidance, sure and without
doubt, to those who fear Allah."
Therefore, who is Jesus/Isa (pbuh) speaking of in Surah 61:6?
Perhaps, the Apostle Paul! This Israelite terrorist of the Christians had a personal
revelation of Jesus, who commissioned him to take the everlasting Gospel to ALL
NATIONS!
First, the Apostle Paul went to his fellow Jews, and then later
was directed to go to the unbelievers. Paul faithfully preached to all the
Greek, Roman and ARAB world! Yes, turn to the Injil, New Testament in Galatians
1: 13-17 and see!
"For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism,
how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. I was
advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews my own age and was extremely zealous for
the traditions of my fathers. But when God, who set me apart from birth and
called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me that I might preach
him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man, nor did I go up to Jerusalem
to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into ARABIA
and later returned to Damascus."(Injil/ Galatians 1:13-17), see also
Injil/Acts 9:1-31, 21:40-22:1-21.
Paul the Apostle was fluent in Aramaic and was said to spend up to
12 years in Arabia teaching about Jesus/Isa (pbuh) and warning people to turn
to God from darkness, so its seems strange to see it said in the Qu’ran of
Muhammad (pbuh),
"To give warning to a people to whom No Warner (Nazir) had
come before thee." (Qu’ran Surah 28:46 (32:3). Is it not true that there
were many Christians throughout the Middle East by the time of Muhammad (pbuh)?
Some may try to dismiss everything by saying the Injil (New
Testament), Zabur, (Psalms), and Taurat (Old Testament) are all corrupted by
men, yet they are truly Ignorant . The Qu’ran teaches the Bible is the Word of
God/Allah SWT and can never be corrupted, changed or altered!
The Qu’ran says, "And
in their footsteps We sent Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had
come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was Guidance, and Light and
Confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a Guidance and an admonition
to those who fear God. Let the People of the Gospel judge by what God hath
revealed therein." (Surah 5:46-47).
"..No change can there be in the Words of God." (Surah
10:65).
"…there is None that can alter the Words (and decrees) of
God." (Surah 6:34).
Baizawi says on this verse, "There is no altering His
sayings, and there is no breach of His promises." Therefore, many stand
quilty before God/Allah on the Day of Judgment for rejecting the truth of their
own Books, and will be labeled as without religion (kafirs). Jesus/Isa (pbuh)
is the Eternally Living Prophet, yes, much more than a Prophet, the Eternal
Word of God/Allah, therefore, his Word is UnChanging and Authoritative
yesterday, today and forever speaking to every dispute God/Allah’s SWT divine
answers!
"Such (was/is) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of
Truth, about which they (vainly) dispute." (Qu’ran 19 Maryam 34).
"Laa mahdiyan illa Isabnu Maryam" "There is no Imam
Mahdi (Fully Guided Intercessor) except Jesus the Son of Mary." (Hadiths
Ibnu Majah)
Do you honor Jesus/Isa (pbuh) as "God/Allah’s Word"
(Qu’ran 4 An Nisa 171), and "a Sign for all Peoples"? (Qu’ran 21 Al
Aanbiyaa 91). Do you wish to honor this one who is "nearest to Allah"
both now and in the hereafter? (Qu’ran 3 Aali Imram 45). God/Allah SWT is the
Protector of His Word and He will protect you as well if you trust in Him today
through the name of Jesus/Isa!
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other
name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." (Injil/ Acts
4:12).
First, do you believe? "And this is his command: to
believe in the name of his son, Jesus the Messiah(Christ), and to love one
another as he commanded us." (Injil/ I John 3:23-24) "Those who obey
his commands live in him, and he in them."(vs. 24).
"For it is with your heart that you believe and are
justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
(Injil/ Romans 10:10).
The prayer of Muhammad (pbuh) before his death: "Oh God, forgive me, have
mercy upon me and contact me to the Most High Friend." (Hadiths Shahih
Bukari 1573). Then he lifted
up his hand saying, "The
Most High Friend.", then
his hand laid down and he passed away. (Bukari 1574).
Who is this Most High Friend, Muhammad (pbuh) called upon at his
death? "I am closer to
Jesus the son of Mary in this earth and heaven." (Hadiths Shahih Bukari
1501). Yes, the Most High
Friend whom Muhammad called upon in his last moments was Jesus/Isa (pbuh)!
I plead with you today in a world that has lost much of its sanity
to consider this:
It is not an accident that your eyes have found this article,
God/Allah has directed you to look at this today!
"Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as
you did in the rebellion." (Injil/ Hebrews 3:15).
Secondly, I plead with you by the Mercy of God, to repent and
change the direction you have been going, admit the wrong thinking and doing of
your life, fear God/Allah SWT, and Obey Jesus/Isa (pbuh)!
"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble, Submit
yourselves then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near
to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands you sinners, and purify
your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to
mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will
lift you up." (Injil/ James 4:7-10).
Real change of heart leads to clear change of actions. Our motive
for doing what is right cannot be just based on good works, its deeper, our
motive is gratitude. (6)
"So Peace is on me the day I (Jesus) was born, the day that I
die, and the day I shall be raised up to Life (again)" (Qu’ran 19 Maryam
33).
"Behold! God said: "O Jesus! 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…" (Qu’ran 3 Aali Imraan 55).
"That they (unbelieving Jews) said (in boast) "We killed
(qatal)( al Masih Isa) Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of
Allah," but they killed him not (wa maa qataluuhu), nor crucified him (wa
maa salabuuhu), but so it was to appear to them (wa laakin shubbiha lahum), and
those who differ therein are full of doubts (Shakk) with no (certain)
knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for a surety-They killed him not (wa
maa qataluuhu yaqiina)." (Qu’ran Surah 4:157).
Thirdly, Jesus/Isa (pbuh) came to earth as a sinless child for One
Divine Purpose, to fulfill prophecy and SUBMIT TO GOD willingly His life as a
Sacrifice for the sin of Mankind Once and for all time, so that all Mankind can
be brought into a true relationship with God/Allah SWT as a "Sign to ALL
PEOPLES".
Though the Jews might have mockingly boasted that they killed
Jesus/Isa (pbuh), in truth, they did not, for
they only instigated the Romans to actually crucify him. The Roman
soldiers were experts at the torture of crucifying people. If they failed to
execute the person, especially the right person, the penalty was that they
would die for the failure! They always finished the job by thrusting a spear
through the victims side to pierce their heart. Secular historians verify that
there was no controversy about the death of Jesus/Isa (pbuh). (Injil/ see John
18 & Matthew 27:64). (Josephus/Tacitus) His enemies admit his death. Will
you?
The Ignorant have veiled the truth of the death/burial and
resurrection of Jesus/Isa (pbuh), by classifying it as a mutashahihat verse,
i.e. "a verse in which it is something known only to Allah". The
Injil/Gospel (New Testament) is very clear, and "cannot be changed"
(Surah 10:65). No wonder, Muhammad had been told to consult the Christians
whenever he was in doubt. "If thou (Muhammad) wert in doubt (shakk) as
to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the
Book (Bible) from before thee." (Surah 10:94).
Study the Taraut (Old Testament) prophecies of the death of
Jesus/Isa (pbuh), in Isaiah 50:4-10, 52:13-54:12, 61:1-11, the Zabur, Psalms
22:1-31, 34:20, 69:21, Zechariah 12:10-13:1, and compare them to the events in
the Gospel/Injil/ (New Testament). These detailed prophecies were made hundreds
of years before their fulfillment, and the fact that they were fulfilled in
detail shows God/Allah’s SWT miraculous Sign for All Peoples!
The clear Signs of the Most High Friend (Jesus/Isa (pbuh), reveal
the Siratul Mustaqiim (Straight Way) clearly for all mankind to follow.
"To Jesus, son of Mary we gave Clear Signs and
strengthened Him with the Holy Spirit…Let there be no compulsion in religion:
Truth stands out clear from error…" (Qu’ran 2 Al Baqarah 253, 256).
Perhaps in religion, we have followed the traditional ways of man
more than the miraculous ways of God/Allah SWT. Those who reject other ways so
as to obey the clear signs of Jesus/Isa (pbuh) are following the gracious
guidance of God/Allah SWT. They are always prepared for death and the Kiamat.
They have deep assurance of entering Heaven because they take refuge in the
pure Holiness of the Most High Friend. Do you wish to have this assurance? Do
you wish to be free from guilt because you have decided not to rely on human
guidance, or to depend on the limited goodness of your own deeds?
"…whoever…believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy
Hand-hold that never breaks." (Qu’ran 2 Al Baqarah 256).
This famous Ayat ul Kursi is clear when we look at ayat 253: We
have security when we believe in the Clear Signs of Isa (Jesus) (pbuh) and the
Prophets:
As Roh-ul-Lah, Jesus/Isa (pbuh) is the untainted UnCreated Word,
without any form of impurity. Only in his holiness can mankind take His
Handhold and make contact with God/Allah SWT, the Holy One, Spirit to spirit.
As Roh-ul-Lah, He touches the sick with compassion and the healing power of
God/Allah SWT.
In order to create true Love, God/Allah SWT created true Choice,
one cannot have one without the other. Yet, once you choose to risk all and
submit to Him through the divine Way He provided by Jesus/Isa (pbuh) death,
burial, and resurrection. He promises to Raise You to the NEW Life free from
sins torment, with power to overcome any test by His strengthening Spirit, and
His faithful promise to Hold you Most securely forever as you walk faithfully
with Him!
"My sheep listen to my (Jesus/Isa) voice; I know them and
they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one
can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given then to me, is greater
than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are
one." (Injil/ John 10:27-30).
Through life and death, we can have this lasting Peace if we
believe in the miracle (muzzizah) Sign of God/Allah SWT Ta’ala about life and
death.
In Surah Al Imran, ayat 55, Allah SWT, the Owner of the Day of
Judgment, took back (the life of) Jesus/Isa, raised him back to Himself.
God/Allah SWT clears Isa (pbuh) of all charges, and rewards highly
those who have Faith in the Korban of Isa (pbuh). Inshah Allah, When we take refuge in the Korban
sacrifice of Jesus/Isa (pbuh), God/Allah SWT clears us and miraculously raises
us to Heavenly places with Him. Al Hamdu’illah!
Can you cry out in the same way as others to our Most High Friend?
Pray now saying:
"Allahumma" (O God/Allah),
"Astafirullah" (forgive my sins) I reject all other ways
to save myself and I trust Your
Korban Sign in Jesus/Isa
(pbuh) to save me on the Kiamat. I receive only your Way. Thank you for your
precious Mercy to me. Amin
Jesus/Isa (pbuh) predicted the complete destruction of the Jewish
Temple in AD 70, forever setting aside true Old Testament Judaism (only Zionism
exists today).
In the Injil/Acts 2:11, when the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus/Isa
(pbuh) was preached miraculously in the native tongue of every nation present,
(including Arabs), they believed as you do now, and asked the question, what shall we do?
The Apostle Peter replied, "Repent
and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The
promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off---for all whom
the Lord our God will call. With many other words he warned them; and he
pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
(Injil/ Acts 2:38-40). It
says the same day 3000 people accepted the message and were baptized and many
of them probably became the first Arab Christians.
God/Allah can save anyone, even the worst terrorist like Saul,
became the Apostle Paul, saying, "Even though I was once a blasphemer
and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in
ignorance and unbelief…I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners
Christ Jesus/Isa (pbuh) might display his unlimited patience as an example for
those who would believe on him and receive eternal life."(Injil/ I Timothy
2:12-17).
God/Allah is calling All to Repentance, Muslims, Christians, Jews,
and UnBelievers (especially who think they rule the world from the
international Oil Company Offices) to a Worldwide Repentance and Reconciliation
through Jesus/Isa (pbuh)!
Yes, God/Allah SWT is calling forth His Judgment upon all those
who say they believe in the One True God, and then live like He doesn’t exist!
He desires His faithful to honor Him now more than ever. Why? He wishes the UNBELIEVER to see the Prince of Peace rules
in the hearts of men today, and that His glory can cover and change the earth
just as the oceans He made.
I plead for Sanity in a World Insane, I plead for True Change in a
Rebellious Day!
I plead for you to seek and turn to the Prince of Peace, Jesus/Isa
(pbuh).
