The Bible's holy stones. They even get anointed with oil.
The black stone is not holy in Islam. It was no more than an asteroid sent by GOD Almighty to determine the location of where the Kaaba to be built by Abraham and Ishmael, peace be upon them. And today, it is placed in one of the Kaaba's corners to mark the start and finish of the 7 circumambulations (tawaaf) around the Kaaba.
It was the pagans who plagiarized Islam's practices, not the other way around. The Bible also declares it.
Q11- If Islam is so against any form of idol worship, why do they bow to the kaaba? Why do they call it God's House? Do they believe He lives there?
The sections of this article are:
1- The House/Temple of GOD Almighty in the Noble Quran and the Bible.
2- But aren't Muslims still physically bowing down to the Kaaba itself?
(a)- The blood of a Muslim Believer is more precious than the entire Kaaba!
(b)- In Christianity, the temple is Holy. See pictures of GOD Almighty by these infidels!
(i)- The Bible's Holiest Temple has idols of creatures made of gold in it.
(ii)- The portraits of Jesus Christ and GOD Almighty are also images and idols!
(iii)- The Kaaba during pagan times, with all the idols that were inside it and around it, is closer in similarity to the Bible's Holiest Temple!
3- What is the difference then between the hindu idols and the Kaba?
4- What about the black stone near the Kaaba? How sacred is it?
NASA confirms that the black stone was indeed sent from space.
5- Is the Jews' wailing wall idol worship?
6- The Islamic Rituals of Worship are all supported in the Bible.
7- Islam is GOD Almighty's One and Original Faith to mankind, even according to the Bible!
8- Conclusion.
1- The House/Temple of GOD Almighty in the Noble Quran and the Bible:
To help the Jewish and Christian reader understand the Islamic way of Worship better, I'd like to first present the following from the Bible:
I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.
GOD Almighty's Holy Temple in Islam is the Kaaba in Mecca.
16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it."
17 He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven."
18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
18 The Israelites went up to Bethel (the House of GOD in Hebrew) and inquired of God. They said, "Who of us shall go first to fight against the Benjamites?" The LORD replied, "Judah shall go first."
1 Chronicles 6:47-49
47 the son of Mahli, the son of Mushi, the son of Merari, the son of Levi.
48 Their fellow Levites were assigned to all the other duties of the tabernacle, the house of God.
49 But Aaron and his descendants were the ones who presented offerings on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense in connection with all that was done in the Most Holy Place, making atonement for Israel, in accordance with all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.
"Behold! We gave the site, To Abraham, of the (Sacred) House (i.e., the Kaaba), (Saying): 'Associate not anything (In worship) with Me; And sanctify My House For those who compass it round, Or stand up, Or bow, or prostrate themselves (Therein in prayer). And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways; (The Noble Quran, 22:26-27)"
As we clearly see, the "House of GOD"Almighty is mentioned in both the Bible and the Noble Quran. The Prostration to GOD Almighty in either His House or in the direction of His House (if you live far away) is the most proper way of Worship according to both the Bible and the Noble Quran.
As we also clearly see, the House of GOD Almighty was mentioned in the Bible first. The Kaba or Kaaba (the black cube building in Saudi Arabia) is basically the symbolic point on earth (His House) that GOD Almighty Chose to have all of His True Believers meet Him through bowing down their faces in humility down to the ground before Him.
The actual bricks and cement that make up the Kaaba are not holy.
They are no more holier than the bricks and cement that we see on regular basis in the towns that we live in.
While it is true that many ignorant and illiterate Muslims might incline toward idol worship and do consider the actual Kaaba as a very sacred thing to a point where they would go as far as rubbing their bodies against it to get "blessings", but these people are not representing the True picture of Islam. If a person worships the Kaaba itself, then he/she becomes an idol worshiper:
"Say: 'O People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians)! Come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.' If then they turn back, say ye: 'Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will).' (The Noble Quran, 3:64)"
"God forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with God is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed. (The Noble Quran, 4:48)"
"Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend. (The Noble Quran, 4:125)"
The Kaaba is only the House of GOD Almighty and is the meeting place for us to meet the Almighty LORD by bowing down our faces in humility down to the ground before Him in that direction.
GOD Almighty Chose that spot on earth to be the meeting place with Him, because It is His Grand Temple.
We Worship Allah Almighty in His House/Temple. We never worship the Temple itself.
Since Allah Almighty ordered Abraham the father of Ishmael and Isaac peace be upon them to build the Kaaba, people called it the House of GOD Almighty, and it became the direction for us to bow down to Allah Almighty in worship:
So when Muslims prostrate to Allah Almighty, they prostrate in the direction that is as close as possible to Him. It was also prophesied in the Noble Quran that people from all over the world would come to the city of Mecca (where the Kaaba is located) for pilgrimage.
Please visit: The detailed story of how the Kaaba was built by Abraham and his son Ishmael peace be upon them.
During the early days of Islam, the Muslims were commanded to bow down to Allah Almighty in the direction of the Farthest Mosque (Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa) in Jerusalem, because it was the Holiest Mosque/Temple to worship Allah Almighty in back since it was not defiled with idols. Allah Almighty then commanded Prophet Muhammad to order the Muslims to prostrate to Allah Almighty in the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, because it was the House of GOD Almighty which was built by Prophet Abraham peace be upon him (mentioned also in the Bible), and because after the Muslims liberated Mecca in a 10,000 men army (this event was prophesied in the Bible), they cleaned the Kaaba from all idols.
Isaiah 29:12 mentions the first Quran-Revelation upon Prophet Muhammad in Cave Hira by the name. The Quran's first revelation upon Prophet Muhammad inside cave Hira.
Isaiah 29: Mentions Mecca's precise cave Hira (χιρα), Jireh, Quran & Muhammad.
Please also visit: The Bible also called the path to Mecca "THE PATH OF HOLINESS".
See also: Circumambulation (tawaaf) 7 times around the Kaaba is also by the exact number in the Bible. The Kaaba and pilgrimage to Mecca were also prophesied in the Bible. Also, there possible proof that Prophet Muhammad's name found in the Hebrew of John 18:37-38 [2].

From www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,2281.msg10296.html#msg10296:
Wa Alaikum As'salam,
Throughout the Old Testament, all Prophets prayed like Muslims. They even prayed towards the Holy Temple of GOD Almighty:
"I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 138:2)"
www.answering-christianity.com/kaaba.htm
And the Bible thoroughly foretold about the coming of Prophet Muhammad from the lands of Kedar (modern-day Saudi Arabia), and also the establishment of GOD Almighty's HOUSE there:
www.answering-christianity.com/predict.htm
So Jesus falling on his face and bowing to GOD Almighty wasn't just a one time thing, for the following reasons:
1- This would make Jesus' prayer a hypocritical one and a false one, since here he would be telling GOD Almighty:
LOOK GOD, I AM SO DESPERATE THAT I AM WILLING TO EVEN BOW MY FACE DOWN TO YOU.
This would make his prayer a false one, as the false religion of Christianity, a conjecture, is a false religion of lies and conjecture.
2- All Prophets before Jesus did it. So it is not unusual for Jesus to do it.
3- The New Testament is missing MOUNTAINS OF FACTS about Jesus. We only have little about him.
4- The praying in secrete that Jesus commanded was SUPPLICATION (Duaa) and not actual Prayer.
5- If Jesus said that bowing to GOD Almighty is an invalid Prayer, then he has thrown out all of GOD Almighty's Laws on Prayer in the Old Testament.

Simply put: Christianity is a false religion of conjecture.

Aslamu Alaykum Brother Osama David Wood made a New garbage video Doesn't david also know that Jesus said my father & your father My God Your God FYI He also destroy the trinity lol So Osama How do you reponse this video Full?
This stupid garbage can't show me where father was called in the Old Testament..
Who cares we got other prophets lol
GOD Almighty in Islam and the Bible is called The Gaurdian (المولى). It is mistranslated as "The Father". But Islam came and fixed that:
www.answering-christianity.com/1john2_22.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/convert_christians.htm
This is similar to "Daughters of GOD". You don't find this anywhere in the OT. Only "Sons of GOD". Again, Islam came to also fix this term, because they are not Divine Sons of GOD. They are MUSTAFA.
It is interesting that both the Glorious Quran and the Bible agree that Abraham was called the FRIEND (خليلا) OF GOD. Visit the links.
Again, the Bible thoroughly foretold about the coming of Prophet Muhammad from the lands of Kedar (modern-day Saudi Arabia), and also the establishment of GOD Almighty's HOUSE there:
And again, simply put: Christianity is a false religion of conjecture.

The Bible Declares:
Also, Prophet Muhammad Said:
لهدم الكعبة حجرا حجرا أهون من قتل المسلم
"Demolishing the Kaaba completely is much easier upon Allah Almighty than shedding the blood of a single Believing Muslim." (Source)
We worship GOD Almighty in the direction of His Grand Temple/House. We never worship the Temple/House itself. The Bible's Prophets in the Bible also had a "House of GOD Almighty" that they worshiped Him in. Also, the Jews' wailing wall today is a similar example to the Muslims' Kaaba, where the Jews pray to GOD Almighty facing the wall. And again, the Bible also says:
Also visit: The black stone in Mecca is not worshiped by Muslims. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, claimed that the stone was sent down by Allah Almighty to Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon both of them, to give the precise location of where the Kaaba was to be built by them. We believe that Prophets Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba. The black stone is placed in one of the corners of the Kaaba, and it serves as a starting and ending point for the Circumambulation (tawaaf) 7 times around the Kaaba, which is also 100% supported in the Bible's previous Scriptures. All of Islam's Rituals are 100% supported by the previous Scriptures.
Very important: Islam, Prophet Muhammad, and the House of GOD Almighty (Kaaba) in the Arabian Desert prophesied in the previous Scriptures:
The Bible also called the path to Mecca "THE PATH OF HOLINESS".
Also visit: Prophet Muhammad thoroughly prophesied in the previous Scriptures, and even found in the Dead Sea Scrolls by his Prophetic Name.
The Bible's Sacred Birds and Idols:
The Bible's Sacred Idols in the OT and NT praised by both GOD Almighty and Jesus:
In Exodus 25:1-40, Exodus 37:1-9, Exodus 26:1-20, Exodus 36:8-19, 1 Kings 6:19-38, 2 Chronicles 3:1-17 in the Bible, we read about gigantic sacred winged creatures (birds, lairs or big dragons) being made in the Holiest Temple of GOD Almighty, and were placed in the most holy place and also in the place of mercy! They are so holy that GOD Almighty was going to meet Moses in between them! How is this not idol worship? Jesus also said that they are sacred because they're in the temple (the gold is made sacred because it is in the temple: Matthew 23:16-22). The Arab pagans, before Islam, also had idols that they considered very holy! But Islam came and smashed all of them and cleaned the House of Allah Almighty (the Temple of GOD Almighty) from all of them. The Bible, however, remains paganistic for considering idols made of wood and gold in the temple to be holy. Yet, in Exodus 20:1-6, Deuteronomy 5:1-10 we are forbidden from building any image that resembles any creature, whether in Heaven or on earth! How can anybody explain this fundamental contradiction?
Read the article below for ample more verses, analysis and details. Also, visit:
The Bible's Sacred Black Stones. Literally, see how stones are so holy, that the Believers were forbidden from even chiseling (edging, trimming) them.
The following is from: How is bowing to the Kaaba IS NOT bowing to an idol, thus making Islam pagan???
Question: Explain to me how bowing to the Kaaba IS NOT bowing in worship and adoration to the cubic black building there, thus making Islam an idol-worshiping religion???
Answer: First of all, please visit this link, http://www.answering-christianity.com/kaaba.htm, to see how in the previous Scriptures, all Prophets of GOD Almighty bowed down to Him, the Almighty, in the direction of His Holy Temple or House. It's all over the Bible and outside the Bible. Here is an example from the Bible:
To simply put it: You must bow down in humility to GOD Almighty. That's a must and a given. So, you must physically bow down somewhere, and naturally to some direction! If you were to do it right now, you would be bowing towards a random direction. Your physical presence on earth forces this upon you as a prostrating Believer to GOD Almighty, whether you like it or not. The bowing down to GOD Almighty in the direction of the Kaaba, or the city of Mecca in general, is a way to unify all Muslims to bow down to GOD Almighty, as one body and one unity, towards one direction and towards His Holy Temple.
As to worshiping the cubic black building, the Kaaba, we absolutely do not worship it. The Prophet of Islam said that the spilling OF A SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD from a Believer is more dearer to Allah Almighty than the demolishing of the entire Kaaba. In other words, a single drop of blood from a Muslim Believer is more dearer to Allah Almighty than the entire black cubic building:
لهدم الكعبة حجراً حجراً أهون من قتل المسلم
"Demolishing the Kaaba completely is much more preferred to Allah Almighty than shedding the blood of a Believing Muslim." (Source)
So it is not something we worship. It is only a point and a direction that brings us together as one. Again, visit the link that I provided above.
We've already seen the "House of GOD"Almighty in both the Bible and the Noble Quran above. We've seen how the Prostration to GOD Almighty in either His House or in the direction of His House (if you live far away) is the most proper way of Worship.
Again, to help the Jewish and Christian reader understand the Islamic point better, I'd like to present the following from the Bible:
Numbers 24:3-5
3 and he uttered his oracle: "The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of one whose eye sees clearly,
4 the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
5 "How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel!
Deuteronomy 9:17-19
17 So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands, breaking them to pieces before your eyes.
18 Then once again I fell prostrate before the LORD for forty days and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water, because of all the sin you had committed, doing what was evil in the LORD's sight and so provoking him to anger.
19 I feared the anger and wrath of the LORD, for he was angry enough with you to destroy you. But again the LORD listened to me.
25 I lay prostrate before the LORD those forty days and forty nights because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The LORD -he is God! The LORD -he is God!"
Even Jesus, peace be upon him, bowed down to Allah Almighty the Islamic way:
"Going a little farther, he [Jesus] fell with his face to the ground and prayed, 'My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.' (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 26:39)"
When Muslims bow down to Allah Almighty in worship at their homes, they do not for instance bow down to the sofa, or to the pair of shoes, or to the table, or to the wall, or to the door, or to the TV, or to any object that is in front of them in their homes. They bow down to Allah Almighty only, regardless what's in front of them AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT WORSHIPING THAT OBJECT. The Kaaba is the same thing. We do not bow down to it in worship in any shape or form. We bow down only to Allah Almighty in its direction because it is His Appointed House where He symbolically meets His Servants and True Believers.
The Kaaba makes the millions of Muslims all over the world Pray to Allah Almighty as one unified community.
The direction of the Kaaba not only unifies the Muslims, but it also maximizes the Glorification and Praising of GOD Almighty.
It maximizes the Glorification of GOD Almighty, because in the 5-daily Prayers, it is not only the individual who is Praising GOD, but also the millions of the Muslims world-wide (who are on the same time) are doing it almost simultaneously as if they were ONE CLOSE COMMUNITY.
Now in regards to whether Allah Almighty living there or not, no we do not believe that Allah Almighty lives there. Allah Almighty is unlimited and is every where.
By the way, the Orthodox Jews too bow down to GOD Almighty in worship. Below is a picture of how Jews worship Allah Almighty:
Jesus' Original Name:
Prophet Jesus' original name was Eesa, as this is also his Islamic name. Even in Latin, it is Iesu, and in Greek it is Iesus. There is also a great deal of evidence that Jesus spoke and preached in Arabic. Not only that, but Greek wasn't even that popular in Palestine. Islam's claims are very strongly supported. See proofs below.
Did early Christians preach Prophet Muhammad in Rome?
Did the early believers preach Prophet Muhammad in Corinth, Antioch, Rome and all other places? Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, was the Jews' Messiah and final Prophet. In both the Glorious Quran and the Dead Sea Scrolls, Ahmed was prophesied to come. Ahmed in the Quran is Prophet Muhammad's prophetic name. Also, see below the Dead Sea Scroll image. The New Testament too predicts the coming of three:
1. Elijah.
2. The Messiah.
3. The Prophet.
John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44. Click on the images to expand:
John the Baptist calls Jesus a liar! (Matthew 11:1-6).
So did the early believers preach the coming of Prophet Ahmed or Muhammad? The answer is quite possible, but Muhammad would've been phase 2 for them and not phase 1. Jesus was the early believers' immediate Prophet, not Muhammad. And all of the details that they had were about Jesus, not Muhammad. It is also important to know that the following seven Roman Emperors have thoroughly burned all of the early believers' writings:
1. Nero (54-68)
2. Domitian (81-96)
3. Marcus Aurelius (161-180)
4. Septimius Severus (193-211; up to a point)
5. Maximinius I Thrax (235-8; up to a point)
6. Trajanus Decius (249-251)
7. Valerian (253-260)
Read all the details with references here.
What we have today from "gospels" and "New Testament" were written 80 years to 300 years after Jesus' departure from this earth. So, the current writings that we have are not original writings. Also, to appease the Roman Empire's 3-headed pagan religion and practices, the pagan 3-headed trinity was invented [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Many lies had been fabricated after the original writings were all lost. The Jews and Christians of Arabia, however, did have writings that predicted the coming of Prophet Muhammad. These were some of the original texts that survived.
From Why Jews settled in Arabia section:
Video and text are in the linked section above.
Jesus also preached in Arabic:
See the clear proofs in the following:
Proofs that early Christian believers' title was MUSLIMS from the Jews' and Christians sources themselves. Also, Greek wasn't even the first language in Palestine, nor was it even hardly spoken by the natives there.
Also, ample proofs that Jesus also spoke and preached in Arabic, and there were many early manuscripts written in Arabic that spoke about the coming of Prophet Muhammad in details. Arabic is estimated to date back 8000 to 20000 years by non-Muslim researchers, and had always been the first language in the entire lands of the Middle East, North and Central Africa.
Prophet Muhammad in the Early Christians' writings.
Prophet Muhammad foretold, by the name, in the previous Scriptures. We still have texts today and from the Bible itself and outside the Bible that tell about the coming of Prophet Muhammad and Islam as the Servant of GOD Almighty and the New Religion and Covenant of GOD Almighty, respectively.
- What is the definition of Messiah in the Quran?
- Jesus was created from the Word of GOD and filled with the Holy Spirit, according to Islam.
In the Bible, Muslims, Salamays, Mushlams, Mushlems, Mushlimana are the Believers' original title [1]. Islam came to restore the original Faith [1].
Prophet "AHMAD" is found in the Dead Sea Scrolls:
(Film in this article)
Prophet Muhammad in the previous Scriptures. Prophet Muhammad was thoroughly foretold in the Bible, and his prophetic Name, "Ahmed", was also found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it was mentioned precisely in the Glorious Quran for the Prophet to be foretold by this very Name, Ahmed [1] [2].
Some anti-Islamics tried to compare the Muslims' bowing towards the Kaaba to the hindus' deification and glorification of their stones, by making idol gods and holy temples for these gods out of them. Islam is far from this!
The hindus glorification of stones and rocks is not Islamic. We do not worship neither the Kaaba nor the black stone. In fact Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said in his famous saying that:
Why should this be of any surprise, when Allah Almighty had brought down all of the Angels under the feet of the human-believers when He commanded them to bow down to Adam?
So no, we do not worship rocks and stones.
(b)- In Christianity, the Temple is Holy:
16 "Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.'
17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?
18 You also say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.'
19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?
20 Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21 And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.
22 And he who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.
This is another example of why Christianity is full of corruption. No temple should be holy enough to equate it with GOD Almighty. By you swearing by the temple and by GOD Almighty, you are in essence making them both equal. This is a form of idol-worship. Notice how even Jesus himself said that the temple makes the gold that is in it sacred, and for the altar also making the gift sacred.
These verses are some of the reasons why you see 'holy idols' of Jesus, Mary, the Angels, and even GOD Almighty (!) in all of the Christians' churches. The Church, as an object, is a holy place to them - so holy that they could and would swear by it. And these idol-objects become holy by the Church.

1- Making Idols and even considering them Holy: Allowed or Not?
Not Allowed:
"1God said to the people of Israel: 2I am the LORD your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt where you were slaves. 3Do not worship any god except me. 4Do not make idols that look like anything in the sky or on earth or in the ocean under the earth. 5Don't bow down and worship idols. I am the LORD your God, and I demand all your love. If you reject me, I will punish your families for three or four generations. 6But if you love me and obey my laws, I will be kind to your families for thousands of generations." (CEV Bible, Exodus 20:1-6)
"1Moses called together the people of Israel and said: Today I am telling you the laws and teachings that you must follow, so listen carefully. 2The LORD our God made an agreement with our nation at Mount Sinai. 3That agreement wasn't only with [b] our ancestors but with us, who are here today. 4The LORD himself spoke to you out of the fire, 5but you were afraid of the fire and refused to go up the mountain. So I spoke with the LORD for you, then I told you that he had said: 6I am the LORD your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt where you were slaves. 7Do not worship any god except me. 8Do not make idols that look like anything in the sky or on earth or in the ocean under the earth. 9Don't bow down and worship idols.

"1The LORD said to Moses: 2Tell everyone in Israel who wants to give gifts that they must bring them to you. 3Here is a list of what you are to collect: Gold, silver, and bronze; 4blue, purple, and red wool; fine linen; goat hair; 5tanned ram skins; fine leather; acacia wood; 6olive oil for the lamp; sweet-smelling spices to mix with the oil for dedicating the tent and ordaining the priests; 7and onyx [a] stones for the sacred vest and the breastpiece. 8I also want them to build a special place where I can live among my people. 9Make it and its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you. The LORD said to Moses: 10Tell the people to build a chest of acacia wood forty-five inches long, twenty-seven inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. 11Cover it inside and out with pure gold and put a gold edging around the lid. 12Make four gold rings and fasten one of them to each of the four legs of the chest. 13Make two poles of acacia wood. Cover them with gold 14and put them through the rings, so the chest can be carried by the poles. 15Don't ever remove the poles from the rings. 16When I give you the Ten Commandments written on two flat stones, put them inside the chest. 17Cover the lid of the chest with pure gold. 18-19Then hammer out two winged creatures of pure gold and fasten them to the lid at the ends of the chest. 20The creatures must face each other with their wings spread over the chest. 21Inside it place the two flat stones with the Ten Commandments and put the gold lid on top of the chest. 22I will meet you there between the two creatures and tell you what my people must do and what they must not do. The LORD said: 23Make a table of acacia wood thirty-six inches long, eighteen inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. 24-25Cover it with pure gold and put a gold edging around it with a border three inches wide. 26Make four gold rings and attach one to each of the legs 27-28near the edging. The poles for carrying the table are to be placed through these rings and are to be made of acacia wood covered with gold. 29-30The table is to be kept in the holy place, and the sacred loaves of bread must always be put on it. All bowls, plates, jars, and cups for wine offerings are to be made of pure gold and set on this table. The LORD said: 31Make a lampstand of pure gold. The whole lampstand, including its decorative flowers, must be made from a single piece of hammered gold 32with three branches on each of its two sides. 33There are to be three decorative almond blossoms on each branch 34and four on the stem. 35There must also be a blossom where each pair of branches comes out from the stem. 36The lampstand, including its branches and decorative flowers, must be made from a single piece of hammered pure gold. 37The lamp on the top and those at the end of each of its six branches must be made so as to shine toward the front of the lampstand. 38The tongs and trays for taking care of the lamps are to be made of pure gold. 39The lampstand and its equipment will require seventy-five pounds of pure gold, 40and they must be made according to the pattern I showed you on the mountain." (CEV Bible, Exodus 25:1-40)
"1Bezalel built a chest of acacia wood forty-five inches long, twenty-seven inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high. 2He covered it inside and out with pure gold and put a gold edging around the top. 3He made four gold rings and fastened one of them to each of the four legs of the chest. 4Then he made two poles of acacia wood, covered them with gold, 5and put them through the rings, so the chest could be carried by the poles. 6The entire lid of the chest, which was also covered with pure gold, was the place of mercy. 7-9On each of the two ends of the chest he made a winged creature of hammered gold. They faced each other, and their wings covered the place of mercy." (CEV Bible, Exodus 37:1-9)
"1Furnish the sacred tent with curtains made from ten pieces of the finest linen. They must be woven with blue, purple, and red wool and embroidered with figures of winged creatures. 2Make each piece fourteen yards long and two yards wide 3and sew them together into two curtains with five sections each. 4-6Put fifty loops of blue cloth along one of the wider sides of each curtain, then fasten the two curtains at the loops with fifty gold hooks. 7-8As the material for the tent, use goat hair to weave eleven sections fifteen yards by two yards each. 9Sew five of the sections together to make one panel. Then sew the other six together to make a second panel, and fold the sixth section double over the front of the tent. 10Put fifty loops along one of the wider sides of each panel 11and fasten the two panels at the loops with fifty bronze hooks. 12-13The panel of goat hair will be a yard longer than the tent itself, so fold half a yard of the material behind the tent and on each side as a protective covering. 14Make two more coverings--one with ram skins dyed red and the other with fine leather. The LORD said: The Framework for the Sacred Tent 15Build a framework of acacia wood for the walls of the sacred tent. 16Each frame is to be fifteen feet high and twenty-seven inches wide 17with two wooden pegs near the bottom. 18-21Place two silver stands under each frame with sockets for the pegs, so the frames can be joined together. Twenty of these frames are to be used along the south side and twenty more along the north." (CEV Bible, Exodus 26:1-20)
"8-9The skilled workers got together to make the sacred tent and its linen curtains woven with blue, purple, and red wool and embroidered with figures of winged creatures. Each of the ten panels was fourteen yards long and two yards wide, 10and they were sewn together to make two curtains with five panels each. 11-13Then fifty loops of blue cloth were put along one of the wider sides of each curtain, and the two curtains were fastened together at the loops with fifty gold hooks. 14-15As the material for the tent, goat hair was used to weave eleven sections fifteen yards by two yards each. 16These eleven sections were joined to make two panels, one with five and the other with six sections. 17Fifty loops were put along one of the wider sides of each panel, 18and the two panels were fastened at the loops with fifty bronze hooks. 19Two other coverings were made--one with fine leather and the other with ram skins dyed red." (CEV Bible, Exodus 36:8-19)
"11The LORD told Solomon: 12-13If you obey my commands and do what I say, I will keep the promise I made to your father David. I will live among my people Israel in this temple you are building, and I will not desert them. 14So Solomon's workers finished building the temple. 15The floor of the temple was made out of pine, and the walls were lined with cedar from floor to ceiling. 16The most holy place was in the back of the temple, and it was thirty feet square. Cedar boards standing from floor to ceiling separated it from the rest of the temple. 17The temple's main room was sixty feet long, and it was in front of the most holy place. 18The inside walls were lined with cedar to hide the stones, and the cedar was decorated with carvings of gourds and flowers. 19The sacred chest was kept in the most holy place. 20-22This room was thirty feet long, thirty feet wide, and thirty feet high, and it was lined with pure gold. There were also gold chains across the front of the most holy place. The inside of the temple, as well as the cedar altar in the most holy place, was covered with gold. 23Solomon had two statues of winged creatures made from olive wood to put in the most holy place. Each creature was fifteen feet tall 24-26and fifteen feet across. They had two wings, and the wings were seven and a half feet long. 27Solomon put them next to each other in the most holy place. Their wings were spread out and reached across the room. 28The creatures were also covered with gold. 29The walls of the two rooms were decorated with carvings of palm trees, flowers, and winged creatures. 30Even the floor was covered with gold. 31-32The two doors to the most holy place were made out of olive wood and were decorated with carvings of palm trees, flowers, and winged creatures. The doors and the carvings were covered with gold. The door frame came to a point at the top. 33-34The two doors to the main room of the temple were made out of pine, and each one had two sections so they could fold open. The door frame was shaped like a rectangle and was made out of olive wood. 35The doors were covered with gold and were decorated with carvings of palm trees, flowers, and winged creatures. 36The inner courtyard of the temple had walls made out of three layers of cut stones with one layer of cedar beams. 37Work began on the temple during Ziv, the second month of the year, four years after Solomon became king of Israel. 38Seven years later the workers finished building it during Bul, the eighth month of the year. It was built exactly as it had been planned." (CEV Bible, 1 Kings 6:11-38)
"1-2Solomon's workers began building the temple in Jerusalem on the second day of the second month, four years after Solomon had become king of Israel. It was built on Mount Moriah where the LORD had appeared to David at the threshing place that had belonged to Araunah from Jebus. 3The inside of the temple was ninety feet long and thirty feet wide, according to the older standards. 4Across the front of the temple was a porch thirty feet wide and thirty feet high. The inside walls of the porch were covered with pure gold. 5Solomon had the inside walls of the temple's main room paneled first with pine and then with a layer of gold, and he had them decorated with carvings of palm trees and designs that looked like chains. 6He used precious stones to decorate the temple, and he used gold imported from Parvaim 7to decorate the ceiling beams, the doors, the door frames, and the walls. Solomon also had the workers carve designs of winged creatures into the walls. 8The most holy place was thirty feet square, and its walls were covered with almost twenty-five tons of fine gold. 9More than a pound of gold was used to cover the heads of the nails. The walls of the small storage rooms were also covered with gold. 10Solomon had two statues of winged creatures made to put in the most holy place, and he covered them with gold. 11-13Each creature had two wings and was fifteen feet from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing. Solomon set them next to each other in the most holy place, facing the doorway. Their wings were spread out and reached all the way across the thirty foot room. 14A curtain was made of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool, and embroidered with designs of winged creatures. 15Two columns were made for the entrance to the temple. Each one was fifty-two feet tall and had a cap on top that was seven and a half feet high. 16The top of each column was decorated with designs that looked like chains and with a hundred carvings of pomegranates. 17Solomon had one of the columns placed on the south side of the temple's entrance; it was called Jachin. The other one was placed on the north side of the entrance; it was called Boaz." (CEV Bible, 2 Chronicles 3:1-17)
Jesus' Confirmation of the Holiness of the Idols:
"16You are in for trouble! You are supposed to lead others, but you are blind. You teach that it doesn't matter if a person swears by the temple. But you say that it does matter if someone swears by the gold in the temple. 17You blind fools! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18You also teach that it doesn't matter if a person swears by the altar. But you say that it does matter if someone swears by the gift on the altar. 19Are you blind? Which is more important, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20Anyone who swears by the altar also swears by everything on it. 21And anyone who swears by the temple also swears by God, who lives there. 22To swear by heaven is the same as swearing by God's throne and by the one who sits on that throne." (CEV Bible, Matthew 23:16-22)
The sacred gold here is anything and everything in the temple that is made of gold. This certainly includes the Winged Creatures that are made of gold in the temple as well.
So what do we see?
In Exodus 25:1-40, Exodus 37:1-9, Exodus 26:1-20, Exodus 36:8-19, 1 Kings 6:19-38, 2 Chronicles 3:1-17 in the Bible, we read about gigantic sacred winged creatures (birds, lairs or big dragons) being made in the Holiest Temple of GOD Almighty, and were placed in the most holy place and also in the place of mercy! They are so holy that GOD Almighty was going to meet Moses in between them! How is this not idol worship? We also read about winged creatures images and idols used to decorating much of the temple's curtains and places. Jesus also said that they are sacred because they're in the temple (the gold is made sacred because it is in the temple: Matthew 23:16-22). The Arab pagans, before Islam, also had idols that they considered very holy! But Islam came and smashed all of them and cleaned the House of Allah Almighty (the Temple of GOD Almighty) from all of them. The Bible, however, remains paganistic for considering idols made of wood and gold in the temple to be holy. Yet, in Exodus 20:1-6, Deuteronomy 5:1-10 we are forbidden from building any image that resembles any creature, whether in Heaven or on earth! How can anybody explain this fundamental contradiction?
It is indisputably clear that the Kaaba during pagan times, with all the idols that were inside it and around it, was closer in similarity to the current Bible's Holiest Temple!
See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to nothing; their images are but wind and confusion.
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4)"
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. (From the NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"
""Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good�except God alone." (From the NIV Bible, Mark 10:18)"
"God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (From the NIV Bible, Numbers 23:19)"
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
Indeed, Jesus Christ, the man, is only a Messenger from Allah Almighty, and he was never crucified. Isaiah 53 and Psalm 91 are discussed in great details in this link.
Yet, Christians (Catholics and NON-Catholics) DARE to make images and portraits of Allah Almighty Himself
along with images of Angels, Christ, Mary and others.
Again, please visit: Jesus having long hair is considered stupid by Paul.
(ii)- But the portraits are not images and idols?!
Many many Christians are so superficial in their thinking that they believe that those portraits and graven idols of Allah Almighty and the other creations of Allah Almighty are not the idols and images that the Old Testament verses, above, prohibited.
This is quite ridiculous and absurd at best! What is it that is impossible to comprehend about whenever you dare to draw or carve a picture or object of Allah Almighty, you are in actuality creating an idol to worship?
Is this how Allah Almighty really looks like?
How are these pictures supposed to be in harmony with these verses:
Exodus 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below."
Leviticus 26:1 " 'Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God."
I say quit this blasphemy that is called christianity, because it is no more than a man-made conjecture, as Allah Almighty specifically called this false religion in the Glorious Quran!

(iii)- The Kaaba during pagan times, with all the idols that were inside it and around it, was closer in similarity to the current Bible's Holiest Temple!
I honestly don't see how this statement is false! Again, in Exodus 25:1-40, Exodus 37:1-9, Exodus 26:1-20, Exodus 36:8-19, 1 Kings 6:19-38, 2 Chronicles 3:1-17 in the Bible, we read about gigantic sacred winged creatures (birds, lairs or big dragons) being made in the Holiest Temple of GOD Almighty, and were placed in the most holy place and also in the place of mercy! They are so holy that GOD Almighty was going to meet Moses in between them! How is this not idol worship? We also read about winged creatures images and idols used to decorating much of the temple's curtains and places.

Yet, in Exodus 20:1-6, Deuteronomy 5:1-10 we are forbidden from building any image that resembles any creature, whether in Heaven or on earth! How can anybody explain this fundamental contradiction?
Again, please visit: The Bible also called the path to Mecca "THE PATH OF HOLINESS".
The comparison is an unfair one because while the Muslims bow down to GOD Almighty and only to GOD Almighty in Worship, the hindus pray to and glorify their idols. They address them as "your divinity" and "your holiness". That's clearly idol worship! You must never confuse the House of GOD Almighty, where GOD and His Servants meet, with the man-made idols and statues. Allah Almighty Said:
"For ye do worship idols besides God, and ye invent falsehood. The things that ye worship besides God have no power to give you sustenance: then seek ye sustenance from God, serve Him, and be grateful to Him: to Him will be your return. (The Noble Quran, 29:17)"
"And he said: "For you, ye have taken (for worship) idols besides God, out of mutual love and regard between yourselves in this life; but on the Day of Judgment ye shall disown each other and curse each other: and your abode will be the Fire, and ye shall have none to help." (The Noble Quran, 29:25)"
"And they set up (idols) as equal to God, to mislead (men) from the Path! Say: "Enjoy (your brief power)! But verily ye are making straightway for Hell!" (The Noble Quran, 14:30)"
"Remember Abraham said: "O my Lord! make this city one of peace and security: and preserve me and my sons from worshipping idols. (The Noble Quran, 14:35)"
The Muslims on the hand are not idol worshipers. And neither were the Bible's Prophets (including Jesus), peace be upon them, who prostrated to GOD Almighty.
There is a difference between worshiping GOD Almighty in the direction of His House, and putting idols and praying to them.
Let's not forget also that the hindus' and the buddhists' idols are statues. The same also for those who worship the fire, sun, moon, stars, etc... Allah Almighty Said:
"Among His Sings are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Adore not the sun and the moon, but adore God, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve. (The Noble Quran, 41:37)"
"They ask thee Concerning the New Moons. Say: They are but signs To mark fixed periods of time In (the affairs of) men, And for Pilgrimage. It is no virtue if ye enter the houses from the back: It is virtue if ye fear Allah. Enter houses Through the proper doors: And fear Allah: That ye may prosper. (The Noble Quran, 2:189)"
The black stone is like the bricks and cement that make up the Kaaba. It is not holy at all and is not worshiped in any shape or form. The black stone is nothing but a Heavenly object (an asteroid) that GOD Almighty descended on earth to determine the exact location of where His House was going to be built by Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon them.
NASA'S CONFIRMATION:
""Stars" falling from the skies have been known since ancient times; rarely, stones are found that were tied to these "shooting stars". One such rock has been venerated by Islam (in its encased shrine in Mecca) for more than 1300 years. By the 19th Century, meteorites were identified correctly as samples from other parts of the Solar System. They are part of the nearly 500 tons of extraterrestrial rock material that reaches and enters the atmosphere each day. Most of that material is burned up by friction from the high speed of entry but meteoric dust can remain in the air and a very few individual blocks of material survive this passage to fall in the sea or on the ground as meteorites." (Source)
"The second city of Saudi Arabia is Mecca which contains the holiest shrine in Islam, a great plaza with a rectangular structure containing a meteorite that is considered to have fallen into the Muslim world directly from Heaven. Devout Muslims make the Hajj, a pilgrimage to this shrine required at least once in a lifetime. Here it is as seen in a Quickbird image:" (Source)
An AUDIO file from Dr. Zaghlool Al-Najjar:
The black stone was proven to be a Meteorite sent from space.
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, claimed that the stone was sent down by Allah Almighty to Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon both of them, to give the precise location of where the Kaaba was to be built by them. We believe that Prophets Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba. Western Scientists have confirmed that the black stone, which resides near the Kaaba in the Holy City of Mecca, is an outside METEORITE OBJECT!
While Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him kissed the stone before, because it was chosen by Allah Almighty to descend on earth to determine the location of the Kaaba, but that still doesn't make it anything holy.
It certainly makes it a remarkable and noticeable object that is worth visiting and seeing, but anyone who worships it is an idol worshiper! And like I said above, those ignorant and illiterate from the Muslims who go as far as rubbing themselves against the Kaaba and/or the stone to get "blessings" are not representing Islam's True picture at all.
For more information, please visit: The black stone in Mecca is not worshiped by Muslims.
Are Jews idol worshipers for praying to GOD Almighty while directly facing the wailing wall in a very close distance?
6- The Islamic Rituals of Worship are all supported in the Bible:
The Islamic Fasting, Prostrating to GOD Almighty in Worship, Doing Pilgrimage are all pillars of the Original Faith, and each one of them is supported in the Bible's Scriptures, and also outside of the Bible's Scriptures.
See Psalm 138:2 �I will bow to you in the direction of your Holy Temple.�,
Genesis 28:16-18.
Judges 20:18.
1 Chronicles 6:47-49.
Numbers 24:3-5.
Deuteronomy 9:17-19.
Deuteronomy 9:25.
1 Kings 18:39.
Matthew 26:39 (Jeusus worshiped the Muslims� way).
Genesis 47:9.
Psalm 119:54.
Nehemiah 9:1.
Esther 4:3.
Psalm 35:13.
Daniel 6:18.
The Bible's fasting is not eating and drinking: Luke5:33 They said to him, �John�s disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking.�
Please visit: The Bible also called the path to Mecca "THE PATH OF HOLINESS".
Is the circumambulation (tawaaf) around the Kaaba seven times, during the Islamic Hajj (pilgrimage), supported in the Bible?
I first of all want to make it clear that in Islam, we do not rely on the Bible. In fact, the Bible doesn't play any role in any of our Islamic Scriptures. But, the Bible does remain important, nonetheless, because:
1- It is mainly used by the Jews and Christians.
2- Islam is written ALL OVER the Book!
3- Islam is the Bible's One and Original Faith of GOD Almighty.
This entire website in a Capsule:
1- Why Islam? [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
1- Islam came to restore the Original Faith; the One Divine Religion of GOD Almighty to Mankind, which started with Adam and ended with Muhammad, peace, mercy and blessings be upon all of the Prophets and Messengers of GOD Almighty.
In the Bible, Muslims, Salamays, Mushlams, Mushlems, Mushlimana are the Believers' original title in the Hebrew & Aramaic Bible's Scriptures: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].
Also, proofs that early Christian believers' title was MUSLIMS [5] from the Jews' and Christians sources themselves. Also, Greek wasn't even the first language in Palestine, nor was it even hardly spoken by the natives there.
Also, ample proofs that Jesus also spoke and preached in Arabic [5], and there were many early manuscripts written in Arabic that spoke about the coming of Prophet Muhammad in details.
Prophet Jesus' original name was Isa (eesa). Even in Latin, it is Iesu, and in Greek it is Iesus. In Arabic, it is Isa (eesa). It is literally pronounced as eesa in Arabic. There is a great deal of evidence that Jesus spoke and preached also in Arabic. Not only that, but Greek wasn't even that popular in Palestine.
Also, the Bible's Shlam, Shlama (in Aramaic, the "a" at the end is the definite article that is equivalent to the alif and lam "al"), Mashloome, Mushlimana, Mishalmana, Mishlam, and also Witness in Arabic and Aramaic, and Prostration in Arabic and Aramaic are thoroughly discussed in the following text articles: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. Also the Hebrew Shelem (Selem) (*), which is derived from the root Shalam, is the same as the Glorious Quran's SELM سلم, which is what Islam is also called. Hebrews pronounce the "s" as "sh", and the "a" as an "o". So "shalom" is really Salam (peace in Arabic) (*). Also, the Hebrew Salam (Shalom) is also what Islam is called in the Glorious Quran (سبل السلام) (*). Scroll below for more from the Glorious Quran.
What is the origin of the word "Muslim"? [6] [7] According to the Glorious Quran, it was our father Abraham who named us "Muslims". Islam means submitting yourself in Peace to Allah Almighty and being at Peace with Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty would send the SAKINAH (calmness, comfort) into the Believer's heart. And Islam was sent down to all of mankind in different customized forms.
Also, the following videos give some very important explanations about Islam being the original Religion of GOD Almighty:
(Click on the images for videos)
2- Did you know that Elohim is Allah [1, *] [2]. The "im" in Hebrew is a majestic plural for GOD Almighty. The root Word is "Eloh". And the more original Jews such as Yemenites and others say Alohim or Alah-im. And when you yourself pronounce it, you do naturally pronounce it with a double "l": Allah. Jews do call Him: Allah-im. Aramaic-speaking people also call GOD Almighty Allah. See the following videos for Biblical references and proofs. Also, pre-Islamic Biblical archeological findings have GOD Almighty as "Allah". So the Original Holy Name for GOD Almighty is not Eloh. It is Allah! Eloh is a Hebrew dialect, which not all Hebrew speakers use anyway. Allah had always been the Original and Universal GOD Almighty even before birth of Judaism, and the existence Hebrew. And Hebrew is a developed language from Phoenician. See the following links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Hebrew
3- Did you know that the Lord Jesus Christ never died on the cross, according to Islam and also according to the Bible?
4- Did you know that according to the Bible, Christ rested in the cave (tomb) on the floor for 3 days receiving medical care from Mary Magdalene and others? And that he rose and left after he healed?
5- Did you know that the Bible's "Rose from the Dead" had always been metaphorical and never literal?
Example: Hebrews 11:19
19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death (Isaac wasn't physically dead).
From www.answering-christianity.com/trinity_crucified.htm:
The Bible's metaphoric resurrections:
At that time, saith the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
There is no historical record of any resurrected person recorded in Palestine or anywhere in the world. People in Palestine were tribal, and everyone knew everyone. If people resurrected from the dead, then their people and tribes would immediately known about it, and consequently this would've spread all over Palestine and even the Middle East, because this miracle would've been COLOSSAL! So either the claim was a fabricated lie or it was metaphorical. Either way it is a lie, because there are no records that exist for it, and it is a source for deception and confusion.
7 As you go, announce that the kingdom of heaven will soon be here.
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead to life, heal people who have leprosy, and force out demons. You received without paying, now give without being paid.
This loose text sounds like: Heal the sick, raise the dead, buy some groceries, ....
This is like a Christian missionary, for example, saying that he preached the gospel to many people this past week, and he raised several people from the dead, and moved mountains. This statement would obviously be deceptive, because he would not have literally done these things. But yet, we find this statement about Jesus' disciples raising people from the dead, and Paul having the ability to move mountains [1] (1 Corinthians 13:2). But again, not a single historical record exists for this. Making it sound literal is deceptive.
Uprooting a tree:
If the following is not a lie, then what is it?
6 He replied, �If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, �Be uprooted and planted in the sea,� and it will obey you.
It will obey you?! No man in history, including Jesus himself, was ever able to perform this miracle.
How come none of you can perform a single Miracle? Yet, Jesus and Paul (below) guaranteed to all believers that they can. Yet, throughout history, no one could uproot a tree or a mountain. Are your bible's miracle-stories fables like Cinderella, Snow White and the seven dwarfs, Red Robin and the wolf, and the big bad wolf and the three little piggies? Can you make a tree be uprooted?
Mustard seed faith?
And what is this "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed" nonsense? Even atheists and agnostics have this kind of faith. Everyone who has doubt has a mustard seed of faith in them. Even the cursed satan has a mustard seed faith in him. And if no one could perform these fable-miracles, then basically every single Christian ever existed on earth is a disbeliever, including Jesus, for he could not uproot a tree or a mountain.
Moving a mountain:
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
No man in history, including Jesus himself, - let alone Paul the proven charlatan, - was ever able to move a mountain. And no surprise here, there is not a single historical record for these verses' claims.
A super high mountain?
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
1- Super high mountains do not exist in the Middle East.
2- The earth is spherical. Even the highest mountain on earth couldn't reveal all of the real estate of earth.
3- Unless this is 100% a metaphorical statement, despite the fact that the text is speaking in the literal sense of Jesus actually physically going up a high mountain and actually seeing all of the kingdoms of the world, then this verse is obviously scientifically false.
Why is the high mountain mentioned here? Why is it relevant?
Drinking Poison?
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
The Bible is filled with emotional and empty metaphors that confuse its believers into thinking that it is real. No Christian could ever prove this verse's claim to be true. And this verse is speaking about all believers. So any ordinary Christian Joe can do this. Yet, none can. Are all Christians disbelievers now?
Metaphoric graves and death:
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Only decayed dead flesh exist in the graves, which will completely turn into dust. This verse is obviously metaphorical.
6- Did you know that Islam came to restore the Original Faith and to fix the corruption? The Arabs were fresh, and had no previous corrupt scriptures, and they were ready for a Prophet.
For ample proofs, quotes and references from the Bible for all of this, please visit: Why should I convert to Islam?
Islam is GOD Almighty's Original Religion to all of mankind and all creations:
Islam is called "Islam", "Selm", and "Salam" in the Glorious Quran:
"The Religion before God is Islam (الاسلام submission to His Will)...." (The Noble Quran, 3:19).
"O ye who believe! Enter into Islam (في السلم into the Selm (another name for Islam)) whole-heartedly; and follow not the footsteps of the evil one; for he is to you an avowed enemy." (The Noble Quran, 2:208).
"Wherewith God guideth all who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace and safety (سبل السلام Islam here is called the way of peace and safety), and leadeth them out of darkness, by His will, unto the light,- guideth them to a path that is straight." (The Noble Quran, 5:16).
"But God doth call to the Home of Peace (دار السلام Islam here is called the House of Peace): He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a way that is straight." (The Noble Quran, 10:25).
Islam is GOD Almighty's Religion to all of His creations. It means submitting yourself to Allah Almighty, and to be at Peace with Allah Almighty.

Circumambulation (tawaaf) 7 times around the Kaaba is also by the exact number in the Bible.
Prostrating to GOD Almighty in the direction of His Holy Temple was done by all of the Prophets, including Jesus.
Also, the Bible's fasting is to not eat and drink, like Islam:
Luke5:33 They said to him, "John's disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking."
Matthew 6:16 "When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."
1- Prophet "AHMAD" is found in the Dead Sea Scrolls: [1]
(Click to play film)
You can also read this 195-page PDF file [2] [3] in Arabic. Prophet Muhammad's prophetic Name, "Ahmed", was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it was mentioned precisely in the Glorious Quran for the Prophet to be foretold by this very Name, Ahmed:
"And when Jesus the Son of Mary said, O children of Israel, verily I am the Apostle of God sent unto you, confirming the law which was delivered before me, and bringing good tidings of an Apostle who shall come after me, and whose name shall be Ahmed. And when he produced unto them evident miracles, they said, this is manifest sorcery. (The Noble Quran, 61:6)"
Ahmed is Prophet Muhammad's Prophetic Name, peace be upon him. Please also visit:

Prophet Jesus in Noble Verse 61:6 above has shed the light on the old Prophecy of the coming Prophet, Ahmed. So Ahmed was prophesied before Christ and also during Christ's lifetime. This film was also taken from this Youtube Channel. As the author of the video said, look at the Aramaic alphabets in the Wikipedia link given, below. See how Hhet and Tav are written. They look very similar. See also how the Dalet and Khaf are written, and how they're similar. Now create your own "AHMAD" and "ETMAK" from these alphabets. Now, compare the two words, and see how similar they look. Compare the two words with the DSS by ignoring the vowels and accent ending. Which word look similar? Now read the whole chapter of Isaiah 42. And even if the DSS was not tampered with, was it written wrongly as the letters are very similar? The error could have gone back even before the DSS was written.

2- Prophet Muhammad in the Bible and Old Scriptures: [1]
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8 ***] [9]
Deuteronomy 18:18's Prophet is non other than Prophet Muhammad.
Renewed in the NT: The prophecy of the 10,000 Muslims who liberated Mecca (Paran) in the Bible. In the OT and renewed in the NT. Sam Shamoun thoroughly proven to be a liar who spun 10,000 to 12,000. See the quotes that thoroughly expose his lie, and show how he twisted his very own quotes that he quoted. Also, the Bible's 3 Babylons thoroughly discussed here.
Please visit the long list of rich articles in this section below. There are so many verses and passages in the Bible that talk about Prophet Muhammad and Islam to come as GOD Almighty's Divine Truth.
First, I'd like to ask you to keep the following verses in mind:
Jeremiah 51:33 Arabia has not yet met its threshold, and the time of her harvest shall come. [1]
Jeremiah 31:31 "The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.
Isaiah 41:8-13: GOD Almighty assures the House of Jacob that they are still loved and chosen by GOD Almighty. "Do not be afraid (of this Servant)." Never was this said to an Israelite Prophet. THE ENTIRE HOUSE OF JACOB were commanded to not be afraid of him, because he will be a NON-ISRAELITE Prophet.
The Pilgrimage to the House of GOD in Arabia Prophecy in the Bible:
The House of GOD Almighty in Arabia, and pilgrimage to It, was thoroughly prophesied in the Bible.
I also added the Zamzam and Climate Change Prophesies to the article [1].
Book of Revelation: The Glory of GOD will come from the EAST, the New Covenant will come from Arabia, the New Servant will ride the WHITE HORSE (that's Prophet Muhammad when he rode his White Horse Buraq or Barack), and the New Song (Revelation) will come from Arabia, and that is the Glorious Quran. See the ample quotes here.
Isaiah 41 and 42:6, 42:10-13: The Arabian Prophet will come from the people of Kedar with ********* The New Covenant. Read the following links. Also read the thorough articles below...
Prophet Muhammad in the Early Christians' writings. Did the early Christians in Rome and Antioch and other places learn about the coming of Prophet Muhammad? Yes they did. It's in the Bible's NT too.
Circumambulation (tawaaf) 7 times around the Kaaba is also by the exact number in the Bible. The Kaaba and pilgrimage to Mecca were also prophesied in the Bible. Also, there is possible proof that Prophet Muhammad's name found in the Hebrew of John 18:37-38 [2].
The House of GOD Almighty will be established in the Desert of Kedar.
Renewed in the NT: The prophecy of the 10,000 Muslims who liberated Mecca (Paran) in the Bible. In the OT and renewed in the NT. Sam Shamoun thoroughly proven to be a liar who spun 10,000 to 12,000. See the quotes that thoroughly expose his lie, and show how he twisted his very own quotes that he quoted. Also, the Bible's 3 Babylons thoroughly discussed here. Also, in the Bible and outside the Bible (in the Dead Sea Scrolls and elsewhere), GOD Almighty declared that HE:
Will send His final Servant, whom He Loved, with the Book and New Covenant to all people.
His Servant will come from the lands of Kedar, which is in modern-day Saudi Arabia.
Kedar was Ishmael's son according to the book of Genesis.
The Servant will destroy all idols and end all idolatry in Arabia.
The Servant will establish the HOUSE of GOD Almighty in Arabia.
The Bible also prophesied that the Ultimate HOUSE OF GOD will be established in Arabia.
The Bible also prophesied that 10,000 Believers (Saints) will fight the Holy War of GOD Almighty.
Mecca was liberated by an army of 10,000 Muslim Believers.
All idols were destroyed and the Kaaba and Mecca were cleansed from all idols.
The House of GOD Almighty in Mecca was indeed re-established.
The House was originally built by Abraham and Ishmael.
But the pagans over time took over it and defiled it with idols and pagan practices.
Islam came to end all of that and to re-establish ALLAH ALMIGHTY'S HOUSE.
Islam came to restored the Original Islam, and to re-establish the Islamic Rituals, including the Pilgrimage (Hajj) ones.
All of Islam's Rituals from Praying, Fasting, Hajj (Pilgrimage) are 100% supported in the Bible.
Islam's Hajj rituals are not pagan. They both were Commanded from Allah Almighty and also Originated from what Abraham and Ishmael were Commanded to do by Allah Almighty.
The pagans' rituals, even if some of them were similar to Islam today, such as circumambulation around the Kaaba, came from the Original Islam of Abraham and Ishmael.
The pagans' rituals were not the original Islam.
Islam didn't copy pagan rituals as some of the anti-Islam ignorant infidels claim.
It was the pagans that plagiarized Islam, not the other way around.
The path to Mecca is called the "Path of Holiness" in the Bible.
The "great nation" of Ishmael and its definition in the Bible.
The fall of pagan Babylon to pagan Persia in the Bible, and then the fall of pagan Persia (Iran + Iraq) to Islam.
The story of King Heraclius of the Byzantine and the foretold Prophet (Muhammad) in the Bible. See how he was convinced that Prophet Muhammad of Arabia was indeed the foretold Prophet that Jesus predicted to come.
The emigration of the Muslims to Madina was foretold in the Bible.
Pilgrimage of Ezekiel to Mecca.
See the Proof that "Paran" in the Bible is "Mecca". Paran in the Bible is Mecca today - See the Archeological discoveries that prove Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia.

Also please visit Muhammad's (peace be upon him) life, prophecies and responses to all of the false charges against him.
With this in mind, please now go through the following links:
Aside from the thorough articles in this section below, I demonstrated [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8 ***] in my debate how Prophet Muhammad was Prophesied in the Bible, and how he is the Final and Special Prophet that was going to be sent to all of mankind, according to the Bible itself. See also the many detailed articles below in this section under this table. The Bible in the Old and New Testaments made DIRECT Prophecies about:
The Prophet who will come from the "EAST". The Bible defined "EAST" to mean Arabia, and the lands of Kedar and Teman (Saudi Arabia today).
The Prophet who will come from "Arabia".
The Prophet who will come from the lands and "tents of Kedar" and "lands of Teman". Kedar and Teman (also called "Tema" in the Bible) are two of Ishmael's sons: Genesis 25:13-15.
The Prophet who will "crush the idols of the deserts of Kedar".
The Prophet who will "fight the idol worshipers" in the deserts of Kedar.
The people of Kedar will Glorify GOD Almighty, and GOD will Glorify His Holy Temple "in Kedar".
"Arabia will rejoice and blossom".
The Prophet who will come from the "Desert". Again, the Bible also defined the "Desert" to mean the lands of Arabia, Kedar and Teman.
The Prophet of the "New Law" & "New Covenant", whom the Jews "must not fear".
The Prophet who is "like Moses". Both Muhammad and Moses brought new Laws. There is the Law of Moses, which the entire Bible is built on, and there is the Law of the Holy Quran, which Islam is built on.
Also in the New Testament, Christ is recorded to have said this to the Jews: "So [For this reason; Therefore] I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to people [a nation] who do the things God wants in his kingdom [will produce its fruit]." (Matthew 21:43). Jesus Christ here spoke about foreign people; non-Jews. Jesus was a Jew and was speaking with Jews. Read more ...
- By the way, the "Kingdom of God" here means THE COVENANT & RELIGION OF GOD on earth to the new nation.
Also, "(GOD's) burden shall be upon Arabia" (Isaiah 21:13) [1], means GOD Almighty's Divine Assignment to His Warriors and True Believers shall be put upon the shoulders of the Arabs through Islam and also through the 2nd return of Jesus Christ from Arabia, according to both Islam and the Bible [1]:
Jesus Christ will return from the Arab Muslims in Syria:
The Bible also supports Islam's claim about Jesus Christ returning FROM THE ARAB MUSLIMS in Syria. Also, more details and proofs on this further below.
25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the wilderness,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Also in the Bible, there are many passages in the OT that literally say "THE GLORY OF GOD SHALL COME FROM THE EAST". Also, the book of Jeremiah says "Arabia has not yet met its threshold, and the time of her harvest shall come".
And also in the book of Isaiah, we read "THE BURDEN SHALL BE PLACED UPON ARABIA" (Isaiah 21:13) [1] [2], which means GOD Almighty's Divine Assignment to His Warriors and True Believers shall be put upon the shoulders of the Arabs through Islam and also through the 2nd return of Jesus Christ from Arabia, according to both Islam and the Bible [1] [2].
More details and proofs on this further below.
The Awaited Messiah (Jesus) and Awaited Prophet (Muhammad):
- Renewed in the NT: The prophecy of the 10,000 Muslims who liberated Mecca (Paran) in the Bible. In the OT and renewed in the NT. Also, the Bible's 3 Babylons thoroughly discussed here.
- Isaiah 29:12 mentions the first Quran-Revelation upon Prophet Muhammad in Cave Hira by the name. The Quran's first revelation upon Prophet Muhammad inside cave Hira.
- Isaiah 29: Mentions Mecca's precise cave Hira (χιρα), Jireh, Quran & Muhammad.
- John 1:19-21 John was asked if he were the Messiah, Elijah, and then "The Prophet": John 1:21.
- John 7:40-44, Jesus was supposed to come from David's line, while the Prophet was NOT. He was a foreigner.
- Here are two captured images of John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44. Click on the images to expand:
Click to expand.
So the awaited Messiah and the awaited "the Prophet" were clearly TWO DIFFERENT PERSONS, who are strangers to each others, and are not from the same bloodline.
1- The expected Christ and the expected Prophet:
Again, in John 1:19-21 John was asked if he were the Messiah, Elijah, and then "The Prophet": John 1:21. In John 7:40-44, Jesus was supposed to come from David's line, while the Prophet was NOT. He was a foreigner. So the awaited Messiah and the awaited "the Prophet" were clearly TWO DIFFERENT PERSONS, who are strangers to each others, and are not from the same bloodline.
Does the NT say Jesus is THE PROPHET? [2] A closer look at: Matthew 21:11, Mark 6:15, John 9:17, John 6:14, John 1:19-21, John 7:40-44, Acts 7. Also, looking closer at Stephen's prediction.
Christians say that Jesus is the Prophet. Yet, this is false. The New Testament is corrupt in this one. See the clear proofs [2].
Let us look at the text of verses of John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44 in details to see the two different persons to come: the Messiah (Christ) and the Prophet:
John the Baptist Tells People About Jesus
19 Here is the �truth John told [testimony John gave; witness of John; 1:6] when the �leaders [Jewish leadership; L Jews; C John often uses the term "Jews" to refer to the religious leaders in opposition to Jesus, rather than to the Jewish people generally] in Jerusalem sent �priests and Levites [C the religious authorities; priests oversaw temple worship; Levites were members of the tribe of Levi who assisted them; 1 Chr. 23:24–32] to ask him, "Who are you?"
20 John �spoke freely [confessed] and did not �refuse to answer [deny it]. He said, "I am not the �Christ [Messiah]."
21 So they asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?" [C Elijah, an OT prophet, was expected to come back before the Messiah; 1 Kin. 17—2 Kin. 2; Mal. 4:5–6.]
He answered, "No, I am not."
"Are you the Prophet?" [C the Prophet like Moses predicted in Deut. 18:15–19] they asked.
He answered, "No."
The People Argue About Jesus
40 When the people heard Jesus' words, some of them said, "This man really is the Prophet [1:21; C the "prophet like Moses" of Deut. 18:15–18]."
41 Others said, "He is the �Christ [Messiah]." Still others said, "The �Christ [Messiah] will not come from Galilee.
42 The Scripture says that the �Christ [Messiah] will come from David's �family [offspring; L seed; 2 Sam. 7:12–16; Ps. 89:3–4; Is. 9:7; 55:3] and from Bethlehem, the �town [village] where David lived [Mic. 5:2]."
43 So �the people did not agree with each other [L there was a division in the crowd] about Jesus.
44 Some of them wanted to �arrest [seize] him, but no one was able to �touch [L lay a hand on] him.

2- An Arabian Prophet was expected by the Jews of Arabia:
From some of the Muslim sources, see the following references:
"Bring forward the most learned among you before me." When that man came forward, he and Muhammad spoke in private. Finally Muhammad asked him, "Do you know that I am the Apostle of Allah?" The rabbi answered, "By Allah! Yes, and the people know what I know. Verily your attributes and qualities are clearly mentioned in the Torah, but they are jealous of you." (History of Muhammad Ibn Sa'd, Volume I, Pages 188)
"...and he is the Prophet of these people; he is an Arab and the Jews are jealous of him wishing that he should have been an Israelite..." (History of Muhammad Ibn Sa'd, Volume I, Pages 177)
Also, see the other great Arabian Prophets in the Bible.
Jesus will return from Arabia in Matthew 24:25-27.
History of Muhammad Ibn Is'haq, page 80.
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 250.
The Glorious Quran: 6:20, 7:157, 2:109, 2:90.
(Click to play video)
3- Again, Jesus will return as an Arab, not as an Israeli (or Israelite):
Again, the Bible declares in Matthew 24:25-27 that Jesus will return as an Arab, not a Jew:
The Bible, throughout its books, has thoroughly defined the "East" to be the Arabs: [1] [2] [3].
Not only that, but the Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls also predicted the coming of Prophet Ahmed from the east. Ahmed is Prophet Muhammad's prophetic name.
Prophet Muhammad said that Jesus Christ will return from Damascus.
So why won't Jesus Christ return as a Jew from Israel? See the Islamic Prophecies about the ONE-EYED dajjal (anti-Christ).
Sheikh Hamza Yusuf (Muslim convert Mark Hanson) on some of Islam's STUNNING End of Times Prophecies [1] [2] including ISIS:
The following debate thoroughly demonstrates that ISIS is not Islamic, and that it was made by the zionists to pave the way for the "Another 9/11":
IS ISIS ISLAMIC?
Osama Abdallah vs David Wood Debate
The Debate PowerPoints contain the written material for my presentation and rebuttals.
Also visit this website's Youtube Channel at: www.youtube.com/QuranSearchCom.
The Prophet who will bring the "Message of Peace" to mankind. Islam means being at Peace with GOD Almighty and Submitting in Peace to Him, the Almighty.
The Prophet who is the "Light of the Gentiles".
"Let the WORLD have a new heart (fresh start)!"
The House of GOD will be "built in the desert" (the Kaaba in Mecca). The path of the desert will be called "the Path of Holiness". And the Prophet will lead 10,000 Saints to liberate it. Perfectly fulfilled in Islam!
After John the Baptist, two were expected to come: (1) The Prophet, and (2) the Messiah.
Also, Prophet Muhammad's Name, "Ahmed", was also found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it was mentioned precisely in the Glorious Quran for the Prophet to be foretold by this very Name, Ahmed. [1] [2]
Does Muhammad exist in the Bible?
Anthony Rogers
The Debates (videos on this site and on Youtube) and Debate-PowerPoints contain the written material for my presentations and rebuttals.
3- Jesus will return as an Arab, not as an Israeli (or Israelite): [1]
Not only that, but as we've seen above, the Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls also predicted the coming of Prophet Ahmed from the east. Ahmed is Prophet Muhammad's prophetic name, as we've seen above.
The "Light of the Gentiles" Prophet:
Also on the title of the Arabian Prophet being the "Light of the Gentiles", we see that this title was given to him numerous times in both the Bible's Scriptures and the Dead Sea Scrolls. And this shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone, since truly the Gentiles of the Old Scriptures are the Muslims after Islam came to restore GOD Almighty's Original Faith. So the Light that the Gentiles were going to receive was Islam; GOD Almighty's One and Original and Final and True Faith to all of mankind.
The following image will shed more Truth on who the real Gentiles are, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing). They are all in the Muslim lands today, and they are the Muslims:
You can watch my debate for detailed demonstration and proofs:
Also, Christians in the Glorious Quran:
The Christians are the least disliked by GOD Almighty from among the disbelievers: Noble Verse 3:55. Out of all disbelievers, Muslims will find the Christians to be full of love and mercy: 5:82.
فوق in 3:55, below in the article, means to put them above, or to make them better in status.
Allah Almighty in Noble Verse 30:1-5 promised to make the Romans be victorious, because they were Christians. But they still believe in conjecture: 4:157, 53:28, and they are among the misguided and those who went astray 1:7. They're also crooked in their beliefs: 3:99, 7:45.
Many of the Christians doubt trinity; a word that doesn't exist in the Bible! Those Christians are closest to Islam, as long as they don't speak ill of Islam. The same with the Jews who don't speak ill of the Prophets that came after such as Jesus and Muhammad: 3:113-114.

Quran's STUNNING Divine Miracles: [1]
Here are some of my favorite Stunning Scientific Miracles in the Glorious Quran from among the tens (10s) that are listed in the main sections, below:
1- Here is one stunning Numerical Miracle, from the 10s below, for you:
The Glorious Quran has 114 Chapters. The sum of those Chapters is 6555 (1+2+...+114 = 6555). There are also 6236 Noble Verses in the Glorious Quran. Now, IF YOU ADD EACH CHAPTER # with the number of its Verses, then you get a list of numbers. So 1 (first Chapter) + 7 (# of its Verses) = 8. Do this for all Chapters.
1- The sum of the odd numbers from the list = 6555.
2- The sum of the even numbers from the list = 6236.
See the XLS file for 100% confirmation.
2- The Great Miracle. Allah Almighty in the Holy Quran called the Number 19 Miracle "One of the Mighty Ones (Miracles)" (74:30-37) [1] [2]. See the 100s of Noble Verses that clearly testify to this Great Miracle. Also, did you know that Allah Almighty Said in Surat Nuh (that's Noble Chapter Nuh (Noah)) that Prophet Noah lived for 950 years among his people.
Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah is exactly written in 950 Letters [1] [2]! You can thoroughly see this in the scanned images that thoroughly verify every single Noble Letter, in the links. Click on the links to see the many other Numerical Miracles in the Holy Quran. Also, see the Numerical Miracles section along with all of the other great sections. Also, 1,000s of examples in zip & PDF (fonts) files all demonstrated in this article!
3- 19 X 115 = 2185 Number 19 and BASMALA Miracle. The total numerical value of Noble Verses 74:30-37 themselves, which are the heart of the Number 19 Miracle, has a stunning Miracle in it. The value of these Noble Verses matches the multiplication of the BASMALA's number of letters (19 Letters) and their total numerical values (115): 19 X 115 = 2185. The Basmala, which full text in Arabic means "In the Name of Allah The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful" is the Key to the Glorious Quran. It is recited first before reading the Holy Quran, and it is also obligatory upon every Muslim to start with the Basmala before starting any task. Again, 1,000s of examples in zip & PDF (fonts) files all demonstrated in this article!

"When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (وردة كالدهان)." (The Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]
The Glorious Quran declares that the earth is spherical: [1]
Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1].
- Is rotating around itself.
- Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2].
- Is in constant motion.
- Is suspended in space.
- Is swimming in space.
- Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
- The sunsetless North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran [4].
At the top of the North Pole, the sun never sets, and I showed the video for that, and also quoted the scientific sources for that. Also in the lands near by, it almost never sets either, and I quoted sources for that as well, and also showed pictures of the "polar night" skies on these lands.
- The Glorious Quran also speaks about many earths [5] and not just earth.
- The Glorious Quran predicts 11 planets in our solar system [6].
This is also all demonstrated in good details in the following video file and articles:

The Great Miracle of Number 19 is thoroughly demonstrated:
Allah Almighty Said in the Glorious Quran:
[074:030] Over it are Nineteen عليها تسعة عشر.
[074:031] And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only وماجعلنا عدتهم الا as (1) a trial for Unbelievers,- (2) in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, (3) and the Believers may increase in Faith,- (4) and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, (5) and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth God intend by this?" Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than awarning to mankind.
[074:032] Nay, verily: By the Moon,
[074:033] And by the Night as it retreateth,
[074:034] And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,-
[074:035] This is but one of the might ones (i.e., miracles) انها لاحدى الكبر.
[074:036] A warning to mankind,-
[074:037] To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;-
It is not only one of the Greatest Miracles, but it is also for those who want to press forward and advance. Our Muslim Ummah should take a hard look at these Noble Verses. And yes, prophet Nuh's (Noah) Surah in the Glorious Quran, and its STUNNING Miracle in Text and Number, makes it indeed the cornerstone [1] of this Great Miracle. Allah Almighty also make his bloodline be the bloodline of prophets and kings. Notice also:
If the number 19 Miracle is trivial or irrelevant, or simply doesn't exist, then Allah Almighty would not have said it is a warning to mankind.
The scanned images that demonstrate the STUNNING Numerical Miracles of these Noble Verses, based on the newly discovered Numerical Law from Surat Nuh in the Glorious Quran, and 1000s others are listed below.
19 X 115 Basmala Miracle:
All Praise and Thanks and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone. First of all, Allah Almighty said in the Holy Quran that the Number 19 Miracle is "One of the Mighty Ones" in Noble Verses 74:30-37.

In the scanned images below, you will not only see that Noble Verses 74:30-37 are in perfect match with the Number 19 Miracle (2185 is their total numerical value and it is equal to 19 X 115) [1], but they're also in perfect match with the Glorious Quran's "Key Noble Verse", the Basmala, in both its total Numerical value, 115, and total number of Letters, which are 19 Letters. See the scanned images, again, with 1,000s of examples in zip & PDF (fonts) files all demonstrated in this article, listed below:
The following images contain my calculations, which thoroughly verify the claim about Noble Verses 74:30-37. Their total numerical value is exactly 2185, which is equal to 19 X 115:

- Also, more images for other examples below.
The Quranic Law, which is thoroughly defined in the Glorious Quran, that differentiates between a "written letter" (also known as a "drawn letter") and a letter that is only a vowel, and defines the numerical value (see table) of the written letter, this Quranic Law is thoroughly laid out in Noble Chapter 71. The Chapter is called Surat Nuh. Nuh is Prophet Noah, peace be upon him. Allah Almighty used this Noble Surah to determine what is a drawn letter and what is a vowel in all Noble Verses throughout the Glorious Quran. Only the written letters have numerical values. Vowels don't have numerical values. See the following images.
Also, Allah Almighty Said in this Noble Surah, Surah 71, that Prophet Nuh (Noah) lived for 950 years among his people. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah is exactly written in 950 Letters! Once we counted the drawn letters only, we found them to be exactly 950 letters. You can see this in the scanned images that I produced with my own hand-written verification for each Noble Letter:
In the above images, you'll see some of the ALIF letter's combinations circled in red:

The following examples are stunningly amazing:
Prophet Nuh's story with his people in 24 Noble Verses, which are 11:25-49. These Noble Verses are in Surat Hud, which is Chapter 11 in the Holy Quran. Except for one verse inside them that speaks directly to Prophet Muhammad, all other verses speak about Noah and his people. What is STUNNINGLY MIRACULOUS about these Noble Verses is that the first set from Noble Verses 11:25 to 34, they have the total numerical value of 4,177. Then Noble Verse 11:35, which is about Prophet Muhammad, has the total numerical value of 327. Then Noble Verses 11:36-49 have the total numerical value of 6,159. Therefore, 4177 + 6159 = 10,336, which is equal to 19 X 544. In other words, the Noble Verses that only speak about Prophet Noah and his people have a total numerical value that is divisible by 19 without any remainder:
Furthermore on Noble Verse 11:35, it starts with: "Or do they say, "Has he forged it"?" ام يقولون افتراه:
When we take all of the Noble Verses (10:38, 11:13, 11:35, 32:3, 46:8) throughout the Glorious Quran that start with this exact phrase ام يقولون افتراه, we also find that their total numerical value is divisible by 19 without any remainder. 2470 = 19 X 130. The following images give all of the details. You can also see my hand-count in these images:

The NOORANIYYAH Letters, or the Noorani Letters of the Holy Quran. These are the opening Letters of several of the Noble Surahs (Chapters) that have hidden Divine meanings in them. All Praise and Glory and Thanks are due to Allah Almighty Alone! Now adding all of them together, using the main table's values, gave us a total that is a multiple of the number 19 without any remainder. Not only that, but their total number is 361, which is equal to 19 X 19:
Does the Quran say the earth is sitting on a back of a whale? Showing the difference between نون and ن. The story of the nun (noon) whale and Prophet Jonah in the Quran.
Adding all of the numerical values of the Prophets' and Messengers' names that were mentioned in the Holy Quran also all add up to a number that is a multiple of the number 19 without any remainder:
Prophet Noah (Nuh) is the cornerstone of the number 19 Miracle: [1] [2 html]
Taking this standard for determining which is an actual written/drawn letter and which is only a vowel from all of the Glorious Quran's characters, and applying it to the entire Quran, we found literally THOUSANDS OF STUNNING EXAMPLES AND PATTERNS [1] and Miracles. And building a numerical table that gives numerical values to the Drawn Letters from most occurring to the least (value 1 given to the most occurring drawn letter, value 2 given to the second most occurring one, and so on....), and applying these numerical values to calculate the numerical value of the Glorious Quran's Drawn Letters and Words, we found thousands of stunning numerical results [1]. And the Number 19 Miracle and the BASMALA and Noble Verses 74:30-37 give you an amazing demonstration of this Divine Miracle [1] [2] [3].
The following points will clearly explain and demonstrate this Divine Miracle:
1- Allah Almighty has designed the Holy Quran's Text to be written in a certain complex form, and with great consistency throughout the Holy Quran's 114 Chapters, which are made of 6236 Noble Verses. The following table shows each Noble Quran Letter's numerical value:
www.answering-christianity.com/main_table.png
Also, the following zip file contains thousands of the examples, from the thousands others that I have not yet been able to get to due to my busy schedule:
www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book.zip
1- Prophet Noah is the Miracle's Cornerstone:
Prophet Noah (Nuh), peace be upon him, is the cornerstone of this number 19 Miracle. It's based on him and his Holy Surah (chapter), Surat Nuh, in the Glorious Quran. Read the detailed section about his 950 years that he lived, and his Surah written in exactly 950 letters in this article.
2- Bloodline of Prophets and Kings:
The bloodline of Noah is the bloodline of Prophets and Kings:
[007:069] "Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a message from your Lord through a man of your own people, to warn you? call in remembrance that He made you inheritors after the people of Noah, and gave you a stature tall among the nations. Call in remembrance the benefits (ye have received) from God: that so ye may prosper."
The bloodline of Noah, peace be upon him, was a blood line of Prophets and the chosen people of GOD Almighty. And Allah Almighty made the Jews kings over people in status and closeness to Allah Almighty:
[005:020] Remember Moses said to his people: "O my people! Call in remembrance the favour of God unto you, when He produced prophets among you, made you kings, and gave you what He had not given to any other among the peoples.

www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,2575.msg12214.html#msg12214
Prophet Noah, peace be upon him, is the cornerstone of this Noble Miracle. Not the dajjal (liar) Rashad Khalifa [1] [2 backup][3]. Read detailed article below.
3- Also Covered:
Also, "Fixed their number as a trial for unbelievers" وماجعلنا عدتهم الا فتنة للذين كفروا. and "What symbol doth God intend by this?" ماذا اراد الله بهذا مثلا are about the disbelievers, not the genuine believers. I used other examples [5] [6] from the Glorious Quran to prove this.
This Miracle is not based on the deceiver, Rashad Khalifa [3]. The STUNNING Numerical Miracles, below, are all based on the entire Glorious Quran, and on Prophet Noah being its cornerstone.
4- The Arab infidels can't deny it:
Also, Usama Dakdok, voluntarily on his own, approached me and challenged me regarding the 950 Letters and Years Miracle, below. Since he is fluent in Arabic, and even preaches his Bible also in Arabic, I repeatedly challenged him to show me from my uploaded images where there are errors in the counts. He continued to be deceptive and ignore the Truth: [image1] [image2] [image3] [image4]. May all liars be doomed to Hell, because they purposefully lie and deceive the masses. Ameen.
Also, a detailed QA session [2]. This is not a deviant pro Rashad Khalifa website! The Miracle is based on 100% of the Glorious Quran, and the article below is based on the work of brother, who is also a Civil Engineer, Adnan Al Refaei المهندس عدنان الرفاعي . Also, 1,000s of examples in zip & PDF (fonts) files all demonstrated below, in this article.
Number of Years = Number of Letters:
There is nothing random about the Glorious Quran's Words and their Letters. As it is thoroughly demonstrated in the scanned images, when we for example see that Noble Surah (Chapter) Nuh (Noah) is written in exactly 950 Noble Letters [1], and Allah Almighty Said that Prophet Nuh lived among his people for 950 years in the same Noble Surah, then there is nothing random about this one.
Not only that, but there are many other Numerical patterns discovered in the Glorious Quran that are linked to the number of years. For example, Allah Almighty's two Divine Promises to the people of Israel's destruction were both combined written in 75 Words, and each Promise was written in 75 letters. And the two sets of Noble Verses for the two Promises are after each others in the same Noble Surah 17:4-8. So the first set of Noble Verses that speak about the first Promise, which already took place, were written in 75 Letters, and the second set of Noble Verses that speak about the future destruction were written also in 75 Letters:
Brother Adnan raised the following questions:
Could these Noble Verses be referring to the second destruction of Israel in 75 years after its establishment?
And if so, then would they be 75 years after 1948 or 1967?
Only Allah Almighty Alone Knows. We are currently living some of ISLAM'S STUNNING PROPHECIES about Israel, the zionist machine, and their evil that is being spread throughout earth as exactly prophesied in the Glorious Quran:
www.answering-christianity.com/dajjal.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/666.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/east.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/911_is_the_biggest_lie.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/nuclear_doom_prophecy.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/walid_shoebat_islam_satan_rebuttal.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/quran.htm
See also Daniel Prophecies about Israel and its map [2]. Daniel 11:45: "(the evil one) will establish his settlement between Mount Zion (Jerusalem) and the Mediterranean sea. Then he will be destroyed, and no one will be able to save him." That is precisely Israel today!
Similarly, when we look into the number 19 Miracle, which Allah Almighty called it "One of the Mighty Ones" in Noble Verses 74:30-37, and we find out that It is indeed a MIGHTY MIRACLE, then there is nothing random about it either. What brother Adnan Al Refaei المهندس عدنان الرفاعي did was he took the Arabic drawn alphabets, that are not vowels, and calculated how many times each letter occurred in the Glorious Quran, since the Glorious Quran's Letters are Miraculous, and there is nothing random about them as we've seen in the few examples above, and also in many more like them [1]. See images below. Brother Adnan then built a numerical table where the highest occurring letter would have the value 1, and the second highest would carry the value 2, and so on. He then started calculating the numerical values of the Noble Letters in the Glorious Quran and came up with these mighty discoveries. Again, the table's link is:
This table in the link has more elaboration in it than the one brother, who also used to be an Engineer, Adnan Al Refaei [1] المهندس عدنان الرفاعي gave in his book on page 140, which is page 136 in the PDF file (If you see gibberish, then install these required fonts & instruction. My Sony Vaio laptop didn't require them. My other older computers did. The fonts on my Sony Vaio also seem a bit better than these ones. So please only install them if you see gibberish).
And again, the following zip file contains thousands of the examples, from the thousands others that I have not yet been able to get to due to my busy schedule:
The Number 19 Miracle:
This Noble Miracle is not about bringing random numerical combinations' values and show that they're equal to other certain combinations. Some tried to belittle this Noble Divine Miracle by bringing random combinations and said that they matched certain phrases in the Glorious Quran. For example:
"America is Great" "Allah is Great" Therefore, America is Divine?
"Satan is evil" "Jesus is evil" Therefore, Jesus is evil?
"Satan is good" "Muhammad is good" Therefore, satan is good?
"Jesus" "Satanic" Therefore, Jesus is satanic?
"Abraham" "GOD is One" Therefore, Abraham is GOD?
"Prophets" "Prostitutes" Therefore, all Prophets were prostitutes?
"Mary" "Liar" Therefore, Mary was a liar?
"Moses" "Satanist" Therefore, Moses was a satanist?
"GOD is Love" "Satan loves you" Therefore, GOD is satan?
"GOD is Light" "Satan's darkness" Therefore, satan and GOD are both the same Light?
These are just hypothetical examples. The values may not match. But you get the point. You could come up with any phrase that numerically has the same value as another phrase and claim that they have the same meaning.
But this is not how the Miracle works! The way it works, with already 1,000s of confirmed examples [2 (fonts)], is as follows:
The Noble Verses and Statements (Parts of Noble Verses that are specific to a specific point. Some Noble Verses speak about multiple things), in the Holy Quran, that are correlating to each others, and are ones that collectively make up an entire case, - a full picture, - will have a total numerical value that is divisible by the number 19 without any remainder. Thousands of examples [1] [2] already demonstrated this. And Noble Verses 74:30-37, which are the heart of the Number 19 Miracle, and in them Allah Almighty Said about this Noble Miracle that it is "One of the Greatest Ones" (74:35), are thoroughly demonstrated in the following images and tables.
Again, in the following scanned images, you will not only see that Noble Verses 74:30-37 are in perfect match with the Number 19 Miracle (2185 is their total numerical value and it is equal to 19 X 115) [1], but they're also in perfect match with the Glorious Quran's "Key Noble Verse", the Basmala, in both its total Numerical value, 115, and total number of Letters, which are 19 Letters:
More images for other examples below.
In the following Noble Verses 74:30-37, notice the following important points:
Allah Almighty mentioned, in Noble Verses 74:30-37, that He based the Glorious Quran on the Number 19 Miracle for the following reasons:
(a)- As a trial to the disbelievers.
(b)- To help strengthen the Believers' faith more.
(c)- To assure the disbelievers that Islam is Divine.
(d)- Because it is one of the Greatest Signs and Miracles!
(e)- It is a warning to mankind, and especially for those who want to press forward and advance.
And once again, GOD Almighty made the number 19 be the Noble Quran's Main Numerical Miracle. He called it: "One of the Greatest Ones" in Chapter 74:35.
Let's all read Noble Verses 74:30-37, and look at its scanned images:
Read the Noble Verses for yourself to clearly see the points that I mentioned above:
[074:035] This is but one of the MIGHTY ONES (Miracles) انها لاحدى الكبر.
The scanned images are below the following table. Let us see the Noble Verses in English and Arabic:
Noble Verse(s) 74:30-74:37
Yusuf Ali:
[074:031] And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; AND WE HAVE FIXED THEIR NUMBER ONLY وماجعلنا عدتهم الا as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth God intend by this ?" Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than awarning to mankind.
[074:035] This is but one of the MIGHTY (portents) MIGHTY ONES (Miracles) انها لاحدى الكبر.

2- The following examples are stunningly amazing:
There are many other examples that Mr. Adnan Al Refaei [1] المهندس عدنان الرفاعي gave in his book (Again, if you see gibberish, then install these required fonts & instruction. My Sony Vaio laptop didn't require them. My other older computers did. The fonts on my Sony Vaio also seem a bit better than these ones. So please only install them if you see gibberish).
Furthermore, the total numerical value of Noble Verses 74:30-37 themselves, which are the heart of the Number 19 Miracle, has a stunning Miracle in it. The value of these Noble Verses matches the multiplication of the BASMALA's number of letters (19 Letters) and their total numerical values (115): 19 X 115 = 2185. The Basmala, which full text in Arabic means "In the Name of Allah The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful" is the Key to the Glorious Quran. It is recited first before reading the Holy Quran, and it is also obligatory upon every Muslim to start with the Basmala before starting any task:
The following links are the original images from the PDF book of Noble Verses 74:30-37 and the Basmala. Also, the link to the PDF book is in the following as well:

www.answering-christianity.com/page_144_basmala_is_quran_key.png
Again, the Holy Quran's Law that Mr. Adnan Al Refaei [1] المهندس عدنان الرفاعي discovered is as follows:
(a)- The Noble Verses and Statements (Parts of Noble Verses that are specific to a specific point. Some Noble Verses speak about multiple things) of the Holy Quran that are correlating to each others, and are ones that collectively make up an entire case, - a full picture, - will have a total numerical value that is divisible by the number 19 without any remainder.

3- Again, to clearly and thoroughly see the Number 19 Divine Miracle of the Holy Quran, you can see the 100s of images that I scanned and processed from Mr. Adnan Al Refaei [1] المهندس عدنان الرفاعي book, which is 653 pages long at:
I only processed 1/3 of the book so far. But the examples that I provided give thorough demonstration and ample examples that demonstrate this Great Divine Miracle from the Glorious Quran.
4- Furthermore, Allah Almighty Promised and took it upon Himself to Perfectly Preserve the Holy Quran in both:
(a)- Text documentation and compilation.
(b)- Reading and Noble Words and Letters pronunciations.
This is because the Holy Quran that we have here on earth is a copy of the One that is in the "Preserved Divine Tablet". To see the ample Noble Verses that clearly prove this, please visit:

Dr. Munir Munshey's [2] Quran Translation document.
100% guarantee that the Quran is from GOD Almighty.
The Overwhelming Scientific Miracles of the Glorious Quran. Here is one little sample from just the Numerical Miracles alone:
The Divine Promise and Miracle of the Glorious Quran's Preservation in Text and Pronunciation:
Allah Almighty Said in the Glorious Quran regarding preserving the Holy Quran's Text and Pronunciation the following:
Noble Verse(s) 15:9
[015:009] We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
15:9 انا نحن نزلنا الذكر وانا له لحافظون
Noble Verse(s) 41:42
[041:042] No falsehood can approach it (the Quran) from before or behind it: It is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all Praise.
41:42 لاياتيه الباطل من بين يديه ولامن خلفه تنزيل من حكيم حميد
Sher Ali:
[075:016] Move not thy tongue, O Prophet, with the revelation of the Qur'an that thou mayest hasten to preserve it.
[075:017] Surely, upon US rests its collection and its recital.
[075:018] So when WE recite it, then follow thou its recital.
[075:019] Then upon US rests the expounding thereof.
75:16 لاتحرك به لسانك لتعجل به
75:17 ان علينا جمعه وقرانه
75:18 فاذا قراناه فاتبع قرانه
75:19 ثم ان علينا بيانه
The Noble Verses above give Divine Promise from Allah Almighty:
1- To send down the Holy Quran to mankind.
2- To protect the Holy Quran from all corruption.
3- To preserve the way the Holy Quran's recitation.
(i)- Prophet Muhammad was trained by Angel Gabriel on how to recite the Holy Quran.
(ii)- The Prophet was further instructed to not be careless with his tongue when he recites that Holy Quran.
(iii)- The Prophet was also instructed to not be haste when it comes to reading the Holy Quran. He should read it with extreme care.
Important Note: The Sunni Muslims, who make up more than 90% of all Muslims, today have perfected the recitation of the Holy Quran. We have yearly tournaments with big prizes on who memorizes the Holy Quran the best, not just in Holy Words, but also in the pronunciation of the Holy Words.
4- To make the Holy Quran clear and an official Book for all Muslims. Noble Verse 75:19 "ثم ان علينا بيانه" literally translates as "It is Upon Us to manifest it, make it clear, make it known.
(i)- The Arabic Word بيانه is derived from بيان , which literally means:
1. statement
2. declaration
3. proclamation
4. report
5. representation
6. notice
9. pronouncement
10. list
11. bulletin
12. handout
13. program
When a government official, such as the president or any senior person makes an official statement, he sends out a بيان bayan. Clearly, this Divine Promise by Allah Almighty had come true. All Praise and Glory and Thanks are due to Him, Alone! The Holy Quran today is indeed perfectly preserved in both text and pronunciation. No religious scripture on the face of this earth has this. For ample more proofs, please see this discussion on this website's blog: http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,1116.msg3760.html#msg3760.
Furthermore, the actual text of the Glorious Quran is a Miracle by Itself. The variations in the spelling of certain Words, and the fact that their Numerical Values match, and their total is a multiple of the #19 without remainders, testifies to the Glorious Quran's Great #19 Miracle, which Allah Almighty called it: "One of the Greatest Ones (Miracles)" (74:35).
5- Also, when Allah Almighty set the number 19 as a Law for the Universe and the Holy Quran, then this is something that humans should thoroughly investigate here on earth and in space:
Spherical Geometry, the number 19 Miracle, the Inner-Nature of the Planets' System, and the Universe's function. The Glorious Quran Says that Number 19 is لاحدى الكبر "One of the Great Ones (i.e., Miracles)".
6- And once again, here are other STUNNING Miracles:
7- Quran's STUNNING-Miracles Section: [1]
And last and not least, indeed, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone for making the Noble Quran be the Perfect and Everlasting Miracle, for us humans, out of all of His Divine Miracles! And may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our Beloved and Blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad. Ameen.
Anti-Christ | 1john 2:22-23 | 911 was 100% an Israeli Lie | Boston | 666| Dividing Israel
Trinity Crucified! 100s of verses prove trinity is false. Jesus healed others only after getting permissions from GOD Almighty. His wishes were sometimes denied. [1] [2]
Oxymoron Trinity: Jesus is the resurrection (John 11:25), but yet he doesn't know when the Hour of the resurrection will come (Matthew 24:36) [1], and he had to cry, weep and beg GOD to resurrect Lazarus back to life. And this proves he is our Creator? And how is he exactly The Resurrection? Could Jesus and the disciples honestly even resurrect or create a fly on their own? This is one of the Glorious Quran's challenges to the polytheists from mankind who insist on deifying flesh and blood, dust and water, and idols. All are helpless.
John 5:30 "I cannot do anything on my own." And Jesus could not determine who gets to sit on his right and on his left in Heaven. Only GOD alone decides this, Jesus said.
Contradictions in Jesus' miracle-less miracles. Mustard seed of faith and Great Faith both still failed: [1].
Except GOD Alone! Jesus rejected ἀγαθόν. Jesus forbade anyone from calling him ἀγαθόν. He said it is only for the Supreme GOD Almighty.
Doubting Thomas and 1 John 2:22 are discussed below.
Thomas raised many people from the dead (Matthew 10:7-8). Yet, he and the disciples could not raise Jesus back to life after the crucifixion? Not only that, but they all fled, and Thomas became the "doubting Thomas" because he did not believe that the man who returned was Jesus. But did you not raise people from the dead already, Thomas? What happened there? You could've raised Jesus himself back to life with your own hands! Yet, it was impossible for you to believe that it was Jesus who returned? Why?
www.answering-christianity.com/trinity_crucified.htm
www.answering-christianity.com/arabs_no_longer_jews_dogs.htm
These alleged miracles are very loud! If you raise people from the dead, then the entire land of Palestine would've heard about it. Yet, nothing recorded historically about them. So do we have here loud miracles or loud lies?
The Romans had to fake his crucifixion due to Passover issues:
Click to play video [1]. Matthew 12:40: "shall be buried deep in the heart of
earth for 3 days and nights as Jonah was deep in the belly of the whale."
This Prophecy is a lie! Jesus laid on the floor, got healed, and got up and
left. He was never inside any coffin nor ever got buried. Also, because 100s
of thousands of pilgrims were coming to Jerusalem for the Passover, the
Romans had to rush his "crucifixion" and bring him down. The soldiers were
even denied food due to lack of time.
Jesus never got crucified: [1] [2] [3] [4]. The OT and NT clearly spell it out. He was saved.
Note: The (*) links below are html backups of the website's blog topic threads, in case the blog and its database are down.
From: www.answering-christianity.com/convert_christians.htm:
1 John 2:22-23 are discussed further down in details in this table.
God in the OT addresses people as "my son" and describes them as his begotten son. Why does God use these terms with others in the time of Moses and Jesus and Abraham and other prophets, and now condemns these tittles in the Quran? Why would God give room to misuse these terms like the Greek and Romans did?
What is the definition of Messiah in the Quran?
Son of GOD definition:
We read in the Bible that Prophets are servants and Jesus is the Son (Matthew 21:33-46). Jesus is more than a Rasul (Prophet). Jesus was also called Abd (slave) of GOD throughout the Old Testament, as all sons of GOD were also called slaves of GOD. Jesus' rule is only limited to his Mansion. Jesus also said that this Mansion is ruled by twelve Thrones (also called them 12 Fruits). Jesus being King of kings means that he is the King of his Mansion's twelve thrones.
King of kings for Jesus does not refer to the corrupt earthly kings and thieves. They were offered to Jesus before during his temptation by satan, and Jesus ultimately refused them all. Jesus is the king of the twelve thrones inside his Mansion. Other people in the OT were called King of kings also. So the title is not even unique to Jesus.
In the Bible, "the Son" refers to the Messiah, - the Ultimate Messenger to the Jews. Son in their time meant Servant of GOD. Allah Almighty also explained it precisely like this in the Glorious Quran: "....servants raised to honour. (The Noble Quran, 21:26)". Please visit:
www.answering-christianity.com/definition_son_of_god.htm
This is what we will be called in Heaven, and Allah Almighty also does recognize "Son of GOD" title in the Glorious Quran, but Says that they are no more than pious "....servants raised to honour. (The Noble Quran, 21:26)". Nothing Divine about them except that they exist with Allah Almighty Eternally in Heaven. But as far as Divine Authority and Power, all Divine Authority and Power belong to Allah Almighty Alone and none else. You can visit:

And other great figures in the Old Testament were also called:
1- GOD (El) of other people.
2- Son of GOD.
3- Begotten Son of GOD.
4- GOD's First Born.
5- GOD's Heir and Heirs (for believers).
6- GODly name with Yahweh and El attached to the name.
7- King of Kings (called by Yahweh Himself in the OT).
8- All believers are GODs (Elohim) and Sons of GOD (Beni Elohim).
Is Jesus "God's Son" or "God's Servant (SLAVE)?" [1]
Acts 3:25 - Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Acts 3:26 - Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
Acts 3:25 - You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
Acts 3:26 - To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning every one of you away from his iniquities.
"Servant" here is slave. Jesus was called ABD (SLAVE) in the OT [2], the
same word used for the Jews' slaves, and all slaves in general, throughout
the Bible [2]. Jesus, the abd of GOD, is also the slave of GOD in the NT.
In Arabic also it's the same. My name Osama Abdallah, which means
Osama slave of Allah (GOD). Slave is a subject of GOD. A servant is
independent and has a free will. He/she can quit serving. But a
slave (ABD) is OWNED.
I elaborated on this point in details at:

The Servants are the Prophets of Israel. But Jesus is "the Son" because he is the Messiah, the highest Jew and highest Jewish Prophet. Jesus' rule is only limited to his Mansion. Jesus also said that this Mansion is ruled by twelve Thrones (also called them 12 Fruits). Prophets are Servants, Jesus is the Son (Matthew 21:33-46). Jesus is only the Lord of the Jews' Mansion.
Jesus was called ABD (SLAVE) of GOD:
John 1:1:
John 1:1 answered from the Glorious Quran. Includes a Scientific Miracle in the Glorious Quran.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God was with authority (same Greek word for satan's rule [ [1] [2] [3])."
The Word encompasses Jesus:
From brother Shaad:
The Logos and Jesus are differentiated in Revelation.....
Revelation 20:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the ;witness of Jesus, and for the word of God...
2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the
Jazaka Allah Khayr, dear brother Shaad. I took the liberty to add the emphasis to your text, akhi. Indeed, the Word of GOD Almighty ENCOMPASSES Jesuss, because he was made/created from it; exactly as Islam declares.
Trinity is false. I have added your addition to:
www.answering-christianity.com/word_of_god.htm
Messiah definition::
The Doubting Thomas:
Doubting Thomas said "My Lord and my God" to Jesus. Yet, all believers were called "God", and Moses was the "God" of the Believers, Aaron and Pharaoh:
Moses was called "The God" (Exodus 7:1) of the Believers, Aaron and Pharaoh. Jesus said he was greater than Moses. Thomas, the Disciple, called Jesus "My Lord and my God" (John 20:28). Jesus denied to be GOD Almighty. All Believers were called "GODS and Sons of GOD" (Psalm 82:6) in the Bible. "GOD" in the Bible also means master, leader, priest. Therefore, the doubting Thomas' statement didn't suggest that Jesus was his Creator. And Jesus being a "God" doesn't mean that he is GOD Almighty. He is just another mere "God" like the rest of the believing creations and nothing more.
Jesus' rule is only limited to his Mansion. Jesus also said that this Mansion is ruled by twelve Thrones (also called them 12 Fruits). King of kings for Jesus does not refer to the corrupt earthly kings and thieves. They were offered to Jesus before during his temptation by satan, and Jesus ultimately refused them all. Jesus is the king of the twelve thrones inside his Mansion. Other people in the OT were called King of kings also. So the title is not even unique to Jesus.
King Melchizedek:
The Bible also says that Jesus had to be "in according to Melchizedek". And who is Melchizedek? According to the Bible, he was the Jews' highest priest who had "no father and no mother", and "no beginning and no end" (Genesis 14:18, Psalm 110:4, Hebrews 5:6-10, Hebrews 7:1-20). Jesus had to be similar and inline with him; another proof that Jesus being "God" doesn't mean he is the Creator of the Universe.
The Bible called Jesus a slave (abd) of GOD throughout the Old Testament!
Jesus denied knowing when Judgment Day will come, and said I DON'T KNOW, ONLY GOD ALONE KNOWS!

Doubting Thomas:
Again, Thomas raised many people from the dead (Matthew 10:7-8). Yet, he and the disciples could not raise Jesus back to life after the crucifixion? Not only that, but they all fled, and Thomas became the "doubting Thomas" because he did not believe that the man who returned was Jesus. But did you not raise people from the dead already, Thomas? What happened there? You could've raised Jesus himself back to life with your own hands! Yet, it was impossible for you to believe that it was Jesus who returned? Why?
Father and Son Definitions:
Definition of Key Terms (*) (a discussion between me and a Christian):
1- What does "The Father" really mean in the Bible? How is it defined in Islam? (see point #5 below) How does the Bible really define it?
2- What does "Son of GOD" really mean in the Bible?
3- Jesus had to match Melchizedek in Miracles and Power, according to the New Testament. See this text-debate (*) between me and a Christian. Jesus' Miracles and Miraculous Birth and Nature were given to him because he needed to be in according to Melchizedek. He had to be "in according to Melchizedek" as the Bible specifically says. See Genesis 14:18, Psalm 110:4, Hebrews 5:6-10, Hebrews 7:1-20 [2].
Who is Melchizedek?
According to the Bible, he was the Jews' highest priest who had "no father and no mother", and "no beginning and no end" (Genesis 14:18, Psalm 110:4, Hebrews 5:6-10, Hebrews 7:1-20) [2]. The Bible literally says that. Jesus had to be similar and inline with him; another proof that Jesus being "God" doesn't mean he is the Creator of the Universe.
Is Jesus Allah Almighty for creating things in the Noble Quran? And is he better than Prophet Muhammad for being a creator? And is there a contradiction in the Noble Quran regarding idol gods not being able to create and Jesus Christ? See the Books that Allah Almighty gave to certain powerful Beings to enable them to possess certain Powers and to do certain Miracles, including limited Creations.
Also again, see this text-debate (*) between me and a Christian.

In Islam, there are three "Worlds" or Realms:
(a)- GOD Almighty, who is not seen by anyone or anything, nor is like unto anyone or anything.
(b)- The World of Command, which is the invisible world of the Beings that were made by the Word and the Spirit.
(c)- The World of Creation, the flush and blood, dust and water physical world and Universes (plural).

"Father" and "Son" in Islam and the Bible:
Christians often quote the following verses to prove that Islam is the Anti-Christ:
22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
5- What does the Glorious Quran say about the "Father" and "Son" titles:
The Quran is against the exaggerated and inflated meanings of the words, which ultimately the polytheistic religion of trinity was born out of.
Allah Almighty Said: "And they say: "(God) Most Gracious has begotten offspring." Glory to Him! they are (but) servants raised to honour. (The Noble Quran, 21:26)"
From http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php?topic=2141.msg9505#msg9505:
The Family of Allah أهل الله in Islam, and the Majestic "We":
In regards to your question, there are two legitimate answers for it:
1- GOD Almighty can and does refer to Himself as WE and I. So the plural We can and does refer to Allah Almighty Alone.
2- In Allah Almighty's Realm, there are the People of Allah. AHLU ALLAH أهل الله (Family of Allah)).
Go to www.google.com إن لله - تعالى - أهلين من الناس، قالوا: يا رسول الله من هم؟ قال: هم أهل القران، أهل الله وخاصته
The Hadith in Arabic translates as:
"; أهلين from mankind. They asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who are they?" He said: They are the People of the Quran; the Family/People of GOD أهل الله , and they are His Special Ones خاصته.";
This is what we will be called in Heaven, and Allah Almighty also does recognize "Son of GOD" title in the Glorious Quran, but Says that they are no more than pious (The Noble Quran, 21:26))". Nothing Divine about them except that they exist with Allah Almighty Eternally in Heaven. But as far as Divine Authority and Power, all Divine Authority and Power belong to Allah Almighty Alone and none else. You can visit:
www.answering-christianity.com/definition_son_of_god.htm (The definition of "Son of God" in Islam)
Iblis, who later became satan, used to be from AHLU ALLAH أهل الله (Family of Allah) when he was a pious Servant. /span> But because he and his followers disobeyed GOD Almighty, they were cursed and kicked out of the COMMUNITY OF GOD Almighty:
www.answering-christianity.com/adam.htm
So it is quite possible that Allah Almighty uses the WE to refer to Him and His Servants that HE spoke with directly and Commanded directly. But even in that ca/span>se, the WE still also means Allah Almighty Alone (the Majestic We), because Allah Almighty is the One and Only Decision Maker, and there is none other besides Him.
I hope this helps, insha'Allah.
So people did call each others "Son" and "Daughter" of "GOD". But in all reality, they are no more than Servants of GOD raised to honor.
Here are some Bible facts regarding "FATHER" and "SON":
Allah Almighty is the Believers' only Guardian (المولى): See Noble Verses 8:40, 22:13, 22:78/font>.
In Arabic we say ولي الأمر , which means "The Legal Guardian". المولى is derived from the root word ولي .ولي also means a chosen friend to Allah Almighty.
FRIENDS = SONS in the Bible and Quran (ولي , وليهما and خليلا). We further read the following in the Bible:
Isaiah 41:8/font> "But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend,
Chronicles 20:7 Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?
James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.
So being GOD Almighty's "SON" in the Bible is equal to being GOD Almighty's "FRIEND". Now compare this to the following from the Holy Quran:
[002:257] Allah is the friend (ولي) and patron of those who believe. He brings them out of the depths of darkness into light. While those who do not believe, have the forces of evil as their friends; they lead them out of light, into the very depths of darkness. Such ones shall be the inmates of the fire. They will stay there forever.
[003:122] (And remember) when the two groups among you lost heart (and almost fell out), even though Allah was their Friend and Protector (وليهما)? In Allah (alone), should the believers place their trust!
[004:125] Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend (خليلا).
So the Bible's "FATHER" & "SON" for GOD Almighty and the Believers is clearly metaphoric, and it only means that GOD Almighty:
1- Is the Protector.
2- Is the Friend.
3- Is the Guardian.
Also, BEGET = CHOSE.
King James Bible Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Allah Almighty used اصطفاك اصطفيتك يصطفي اصطفى اصطفينا to mean to Choose a Servant in Noble Verses 27:59, 3:33, 3:42, 7:144, 22:75, 35:32, 38:47, 39:4 in the Glorious Quran.
So clearly Islam is in harmony with GOD Almighty being our:
- Friend
- Protector
- And the One who Chose us.
And we definitely believe that Jesus is the Messiah.
One last important point: Nowhere in the Bible is Jesus ever called "from the Seed of GOD" or "the Seed of GOD". We do have "Jesus is from the seed of David" (Psalm 132:10-11, Romans 1:3). But never from GOD!
GOD has no seed according to both the Bible and the Quran.
Therefore, the claim that Islam is the Anti-Christ is false.
So, is Islam the anti-Christ system according to 1john 2:22? No it isn't. Here are some Quran and Bible facts regarding "FATHER" and "SON" in more details:
(a)- Allah Almighty is the Believers' only Guardian (المولى):
See Noble Verses 8:40, 22:13, 22:78. In Arabic we say ولي الأمر , which means "The Legal Guardian". المولى is derived from the root word ولي .ولي also means a chosen friend to Allah Almighty, as in the following point.
(b)- FRIENDS = SONS in the Bible and Quran (ولي , وليهما and خليلا):
We further read the following in the Bible:
"But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend,
Chronicles 20:7
Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?
And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.

(c)- BEGET = CHOSE:
Regarding the following verse, and many others like it:
King James Bible Psalm 2:7
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Let us look at Noble Verses 27:59, 3:33, 3:42, 7:144, 22:75, 35:32, 38:47, 39:4 from the Glorious Quran:
[027:059] Say: Praise be to God, and Peace on his servants whom He has chosen اصطفى (for his Message). (Who) is better?- God or the false gods they associate (with Him)?
27:59 قل الحمد لله وسلام على عباده الذين اصطفى ءالله خير اما يشركون
[003:033] God did choose اصطفى Adam and Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of 'Imran above all people,-
3:33 ان الله اصطفى ادم ونوحا وال ابراهيم وال عمران على العالمين
[003:042] Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God hath chosen thee اصطفاك and purified thee- chosen thee above the women of all nations.
3:42 واذ قالت الملائكة يامريم ان الله اصطفاك وطهرك واصطفاك على نساء العالمين
[007:144] (God) said: "O Moses! I have chosen thee اصطفيتك above (other) men, by the mission I (have given thee) and the words I (have spoken to thee): take then the (revelation) which I give thee, and be of those who give thanks."
7:144 قال ياموسى اني اصطفيتك على الناس برسالاتي وبكلامي فخذ ما اتيتك وكن من الشاكرين
[022:075] God chooses يصطفي messengers from angels and from men for God is He Who hears and sees (all things).
22:75 الله يصطفي من الملائكة رسلا ومن الناس ان الله سميع بصير
[035:032] Then We have given the Book for inheritance to such of Our Servants as We have chosen اصطفينا: but there are among them some who wrong their own souls; some who follow a middle course; and some who are, by God's leave, foremost in good deeds; that is the highest Grace.
35:32 ثم اورثنا الكتاب الذين اصطفينا من عبادنا فمنهم ظالم لنفسه ومنهم مقتصد ومنهم سابق بالخيرات باذن الله ذلك هو الفضل الكبير
[038:047] They were, in Our sight, truly, of the company of the Elect المصطفين and the Good.
38:47 وانهم عندنا لمن المصطفين الاخيار
[039:004] Had God wished to take to Himself an (actual) son, He could have chosen لاصطفى whom He pleased out of those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is God, the One, the Irresistible.
39:4 لو اراد الله ان يتخذ ولدا لاصطفى مما يخلق مايشاء سبحانه هو الله الواحد القهار
Furthermore, when Jesus was asked about when the Hour will come, he replied by saying that only GOD Almighty Knows, and that no one knows, and that Jesus himself also didn't know. Please visit:
http://www.answering-christianity.com/questions.htm
http://www.answering-christianity.com/ac7.htm#links
Jesus spelled it out clearly that he knew NOT. And as to calling GOD Almighty "Father", and that Islam denies that GOD Almighty is an ACTUAL FATHER to anyone, in Islam GOD Almighty is called:
1- Rab - Lord, Father (you are the Rab of your home for being the husband and the father).
2- Wali - Guardian.
In the old Aramaic and Hebrew, GOD Almighty was called what-is-equivalent-to-Islam our Rab and Wali. But that doesn't make GOD Almighty our actual Father. This is exactly as Judaism metaphors such as idolatry is equivalent to spiritual adultery. No Jew is actually married to GOD Almighty to actually commit a personal marriage-adultery against GOD Almighty! Yet, the Jews use metaphors like these. Islam came to straighten all of this out and to set the record straight that GOD Almighty has no son and no daughter. Otherwise, why would GOD Almighty torture us to Hell if we were His perfect sons and daughters?? No imperfect being could be an actual son of GOD Almighty (and no being is the son or daughter of GOD Almighty, period!):
[005:018] (Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of God, and his beloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- of the men he hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and to God belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)"

The Logical Fallacy and Corruption of 1 John 2:22:
(d)- Let's thoroughly look at the logical fallacy of this verse and its corruption:
1- " Who is the liar"?? Or should the text say who is the one who disbelieves?
The text clearly suggests that the book was written by a mere individual, whose emotions caused him to make a logical fallacy in the text, hence he is not a genuine Messenger of GOD.
Furthermore, we don't see this statement anywhere else throughout the Bible! For such a serious statement to be truly from GOD Almighty, we would expect it to at the very least exist in any or all of the four gospels. But it exists in none, and not even in Paul's writings either. It only exists once in this late epistle.
Furthermore, the Bible's commentary regarding 1 John book say:
"1 John does not tell us who its author is. The earliest identification of him comes from the church fathers..." (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1904)
"The letter is difficult to date with precision...." (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1905)
For book bibliography, visit: www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm
2- Also keep in mind that the 1 John book contains forgeries. For example:
1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." This verse was proven to be a forgery, and was removed from all of the modern Bible translations.
Please visit: www.answering-christianity.com/1john5_7.htm
6- Did you know that Elohim is Allah [1, *] [2] [3]. The "im" in Hebrew is a majestic plural for GOD Almighty. The root Word is "Eloh". And the more original Jews such as Yemenites and others say Alohim or Alah-im. And when you yourself pronounce it, you do naturally pronounce it with a double "l": Allah. Jews do call Him: Allah-im. Aramaic-speaking people also call GOD Almighty Allah. See the following videos for Biblical references and proofs. Also, pre-Islamic Biblical archeological findings have GOD Almighty as "Allah". So the Original Holy Name for GOD Almighty is not Eloh. It is Allah! Eloh is a Hebrew dialect, which not all Hebrew speakers use anyway. Allah had always been the Original and Universal GOD Almighty even before birth of Judaism, and the existence Hebrew. And Hebrew is a developed language from Phoenician. See the following links:
And yes, I still do not accept donations [2] from anyone!

8- Conclusion:
As I demonstrated and proved above, Islam and the Prophets are far from promoting any form of idol worship. You must never confuse or mix the Worship of GOD Almighty with the worship of man-made idols. The hindus' and buddhists' worship of idols is far from being even remotely compared to Islam. And as we've seen from the Saying of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, above,
It is clear that the Muslims today are the only ones who truly Glorify GOD Almighty in the Maximum way. Even Jesus, the polytheist trinitarian pagans' god, Worshiped GOD Almighty and Glorified Him the Islamic way. Even though it was done hypocritically because he only did it once and during his most desperate times, and he has never done it before, but he still nonetheless showed that the Islamic way is the BEST WAY to really Glorify GOD Almighty in. Of course, the reader needs to know that the Jesus of the Bible is not the same as the Jesus of Islam.
Islam is truly the best Faith to Worship, Praise and Glorify GOD Almighty in. Therefore, embrace Islam and you will be saved.

Who was the sacrificed son? [1] [2]
Here is the short answer:
From http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,3150.msg15747.html#msg15747:
Can anyone prove from bible that hazrat ismail (a.s.) was in Arab and Ibrahim (a.s.) was about to slaughter him?
Both the Bible and the Glorious Quran agree that:
1- Ishmael's covenant was put on hold (pause) until the Jewish covenant comes to pass, and the latter generations come:
Like In Jeremiah and Isaiah verses, below, about Arabia's Promise to come later, Ishmael's name and Honor were reserved for Praise for the later generations. Let us look at Noble Verse 37:108:
–37:108 وتركنا عليه في الاخرين
–[037:108] and left for him among the later folk
33 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon (Arabia) is like a threshing floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
The Bible defines "Daughter of Babylon" to be Arabia. There are three Babylons mentioned in the Bible. Arabia was defined as the virgin daughter of Babylon. This is because it never had a Divine Religion with Divine Revelations sent to it yet. Jeremiah 51:33 says that the time of sending the Divine Religion of Islam to Arabia shall come. And Noble Verse 37:108 says that Ishmael's Covenant to Mankind was put for the latter generations.
Jews' dogs: Jesus ended the Arabs being the Jews' dogs. He said that Arabs have "great faith". This is why he will return from the Arabs according to the Bible and Islam.
2- Ishmael's name means the GOD finally heard the Prayer. Ishmael's name is a great proof that he was the sacrificed son. He was born after long decades of frustration and long waits. He was born after a long time of decades of desperation. Isaac would not have been that big of a deal relatively speaking, because Ishmael was already born, and the long horrid desperation was long gone. And Ishmael at the time was his only son, and for a long time too. Ishmael was 13 years older than Isaac. Peace be upon them all.
The challenge wasn't just for Abraham to give up his son for GOD Almighty. Any mere person can do this, even to pagan deities:
[006:137] Even so, in the eyes of most of the pagans, their "partners" made alluring the slaughter of their children, in order to lead them to their own destruction, and cause confusion in their religion. If God had willed, they would not have done so: But leave alone them and their inventions.
While it was a test for Abraham to give up his son for GOD Almighty, but I believe it was also more of testing Abraham to give up what he longed for, and was desperate for, for many decades. And it was also to honor Ishmael, the Prophet of Allah Almighty. Peace be upon Abraham and his sons.
It matters not:
Let me make it absolutely clear that Islam does not stand and fall on:
(a)- Whether Ishmael was the sacrificed-to-be son or not.
(b)- Or whether Abraham and his children were Arabs or not.
None of this matters in Islam. We are only presenting what the Glorious Quran confirms here. If Isaac was the sacrificed son, then it wouldn't matter. We still say Peace be upon all of Allah Almighty's Prophets and Messengers. And Isaac was certainly one of them, and we love Isaac and revere him as much as Ishmael and all of Allah Almighty's Prophets. Peace be upon them all.
And again, ethnicity has nearly no value in Islam:
[049:013] O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

Isaiah's Prophecy about Muhammad: "This is my Servant whom I love....He will come from the desert" [1] [2]
Why did the Jews decide to settle in Arabia with the pagan Ishmaelites? Does that have to do with Prophet Muhammad's prophecy in the Bible?
Was Ishmael the Arabs' father? Or is this another Jewish and Christian lie?
3- The Jews' accounts and the Bible's credibility are a joke! The Jews fabricated many lies. Ironically, their accounts even admit this.

As to Ishmael being an Arab, again, it matters not. But if you care to know, Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac's father, was from Iraq. Most Iraqis are Arabs. Assyrians and others are a minority. And even Assyrians and Kurds and others speak Arabic, and their bloods are mixed with Arabs. Arabic had always been the dominant language in the Middle East and North and Central Africa for 20,000 years, if not even more. And it's the language of the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty's Perfect and Miraculous Book with 1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles [1], and also Prophecies [2]. See literally the 1000s of STUNNING Miracles are listed here. Also visit:
Arabic was proven to date back 8,000 to 20,000 years ago. Proofs that Jesus also preached in Arabic. Arabic had always been a first language in the Middle East, and North and Central Africa.
But again, it matters not to Islam what ethnicity Abraham was.
The following is the detailed answer....
1- Who was the sacrificed son?
Ishmael's Covenant was made for the latter generations according to both Islam and the Bible. Let us look at Ishmael in great details:
Noble Verses 37:100-111 speak about Ishmael being the sacrifice. •Ishmael in these Noble Verses promised his father to be obedient to Allah Almighty's Command for him to get slaughtered.
Noble Verse 19:54 confirms this Promise:
19:54 واذكر في الكتاب اسماعيل انه كان صادق الوعد وكان رسولا نبيا
[019:054] Also mention in the Book (the story of) Isma'il: He was (strictly) true to what he promised صادق الوعد, and he was an apostle (and) a prophet.
Here is Ishmael's Promise:
37:102 فلما بلغ معه السعي قال يابني اني ارى في المنام اني اذبحك فانظر ماذا ترى قال ياابت افعل ماتؤمر ستجدني ان شاء الله من الصابرين
[037:102] Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if God so wills one practising Patience and Constancy! ستجدني ان شاء الله من الصابرين"
Noble Verse 37:112 talks about Allah Almighty gave Abraham the glad tidings of the coming of Isaac, who will be a Prophet. But in the earlier Noble Verse 37:101, a glad tiding was already given for the other son, Ishmael.
Ishmael was put on PAUSE until the covenant of the Israelites comes to an end:
•Like In Jeremiah and Isaiah verses, below, about Arabia's Promise to come later, Ishmael's name and Honor were reserved for Praise for the later generations. Let us look at Noble Verse 37:108:
Here are several of the English translations Noble Verse 37:108:
–[037:108] And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.
–[037:108] And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation).
–[037:108] And We left the following salutation to be bestowed on him by the latest posterity,
–[037:108] And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times.
•A PAUSE WAS PUT ON ISHMAEL until later generations (after the Jewish Covenant comes to an end). Also visit this PPT file: Ishmael was put on pause until the Israelites' Covenant passes. See slides 32-38. Both the Bible and Glorious Quran agree on this.
Now let's see what the Bible says about Arabia and Ishmael…
2- The Bible's Support for Ishmael:
Even in the altered Bible, there is strong evidence that support that Ishmael was the son to be sacrificed. Ishmael's name means "GOD Heard", which implies:
GOD finally heard my Prayers, or
GOD finally answered my Prayers.
The Jews from birth are liars?
Bible says that Jews' from their essence were liars. From their "birth" they were liars the Old Testament declares them. This is another proof that the Bible is full of man-made corruption and fabrications, especially in the Jews' ancient history and stories. Jeremiah 8:8 is thoroughly covered here.
•Ishmael was 13 years older than Isaac, and •Noble Verse 37:102 supports that Ishmael was a teenage boy:
[037:102] Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if God so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
Once again, we read in Noble Verse 37:108:
37:108 وتركنا عليه في الاخرين
The Bible says:
Isaiah 41:8-13 GOD Almighty assures the House of Jacob that they are still loved and chosen by GOD Almighty. "Do not be afraid (of this Servant)." Never was this said to an Israelite Prophet. THE ENTIRE HOUSE OF JACOB were commanded to not be afraid of him, because he will be a NON-ISRAELITE Prophet.
Isaiah 41 and 42:6, 42:10-13 The Arabian Prophet will come from the people of Kedar with The New Covenant. Read more...

3- Abraham had no child for almost 100 years. He was completely barren:
Abraham was very desperate for a son. Ishmael was the greatest gift from GOD Almighty to Abraham. This is why Abraham named him GOD finally Answered my Prayer. GOD Almighty put Abraham to the ultimate test by Commanding him to slaughter this precious son. Abraham obeyed GOD Almighty by attempting to slaughter his son, Ishmael. Ishmael too was true to his promise. He never resisted, nor disobeyed. He was willing to get slaughtered for the Will of Allah Almighty. GOD Almighty saved Ishmael at the last minute, and Commanded Abraham to slaughter a ram instead.
4- The corrupt Jewish books say it was Isaac:
But the name "ISHMAEL" really exposes their lies and gives it all away! The name clearly suggests that Abraham was MOST DESPERATE with Ishmael, and hence, Ishmael's test would've been FAR GREATER than Isaac's. Isaac was the second son, and 13 years younger. The Jewish Law gives double the inheritance to the OLDEST SON when the father dies (Deuteronomy 21:17).
This is not a war between Ishmael and Isaac. In Islam, we honor all of the people of Israel's Prophets and Messengers of GOD Almighty. Peace be upon Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac. And peace be upon Hagar and Sara. Again, please visit:
Again, please visit: Ishmael was put on pause until the Israelites' Covenant passes. See slides 32-38. Both the Bible and Glorious Quran agree on this.
"El" in names as in Ishmael was common among the Jews. Is the GOD of Islam different? Allah Almighty allowed for His Holy Name to be shortened as "El" in Ishmael, and Lillah for Li-Allah in the Quran, as in Alhamdulillah in both Islam and Judaism.
5- Is Elohim Allah? [1, *] [2] [3]
The "im" in Hebrew is a majestic plural for GOD Almighty. The root Word is "Eloh". And the more original Jews such as Yemenites and others say Alohim or Alah-im. And when you yourself pronounce it, you do naturally pronounce it with a double "l": Allah. Jews do call Him: Allah-im. Aramaic-speaking people also call GOD Almighty Allah. See the following videos for Biblical references and proofs. Also, pre-Islamic Biblical archeological findings have GOD Almighty as "Allah". So the Original Holy Name for GOD Almighty is not Eloh. It is Allah! Eloh is a Hebrew dialect, which not all Hebrew speakers use anyway. Allah had always been the Original and Universal GOD Almighty even before birth of Judaism, and the existence Hebrew. And Hebrew is a developed language from Phoenician. See the following links:
6- What about "EL"?
•"El" was a shortened name for Allah (ALIF, LAMED, LAMED, HEY) In Hebrew. Watch above vidoes. •Allah is also spelled out with ALIF, LAMED, LAMED, HEY in Hebrew to be GOD. •Allah Almighty allowed for shortening of His Holy Name and Titles for the Jews. This is where you get Ishmael, Garbriel, Ezekiel (short for Allah). This is also where you get Hallelujah, Netanyahu (short for Yahuwah, or Yahweh) •Islam also has shortened Name for Allah Almighty. –Alhamdulillah is short for Alhamdu li Allah. Visit:
What is the Wisdom of Islam? Allah Almighty allowed for customized Laws and Creeds for different groups of people.
•There is only one Religion with GOD, and that is Islam. But Islam was allowed to be customized for different groups of people, and in different times, languages, dialects, ages:
Noble Verse(s) 5:48
[005:048] To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what God hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If God had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to God; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;
