Salam dear brother. Judaism and Christianity have the right to exist, and in the Holy Quran, Allah (subhanahu wa taala) says that, just like anyone, they will exist and differ among themselves till the day of judgment. (see, Quran, 5:13-14)

And in fact we can have discussions with people of the scriptures. And Quran calls us Muslims and the people of scriptures to come together, find common grounds and unite in the essence of tawheed (oneoness of Allah).

However, I agree, some of the Christian members here are not here to do that. They don't study Islam from Islamic sources. Rather they choose only to preach Christianity. And it bears problem. It turns into a one sided "conversation".

Please, don't think I am judgmental. I personally know some of the Christians here. For instance, the member "Caringheart" was banned in other islamic websites (sunni forums, shiachat, etc.) for preaching Christianity always , insulting the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&hp) and speaking hatred against vigilant Muslims and Christians, especially against Palestinians.

S/he had thousands of posts on those forums, yet with no knowledge of even a verse in the Holy Quran. What s/he would do, was just to post "Christian" "arguments", support the invasion and crimes of the zionist entity against Palestinian Muslims and Christians, be a mouthpiece of American imperialism, etc. And posting and advertising Islamophopic stuff always. And when Muslim brethren would reply and explain the issues, the typical response you get from "Caringheart" was "I wouldn't know about these things you talk about. But it seems so unnatural and wrong to me!". Playing the dumb. lol.

It tells you how "TRUTH SEEKER" this Christian member and alike here are. (the account used in sunniforum I don't remember the nickname, but on shiachat it was "Clynn" or something.)

Brother, if they were here to do research on Islam and to discuss things and find a common ground, it would be nice. But it isn't. That is why, you always see them quote Christian texts. And they refer you to Islamophobic books, websites, etc.

I am not talking about sincerely searching/studying Christian brethren here btw. What I said above goes for certain person and alike.

Thanks. ma salam

If you wish to be pertinent, you must refrain from quoting the Bible. Muslims do not believe in the authenticity of the Bible that is read today. Muslims do not even believe in the authenticity of Bible kept in christian institutions, if any, even if they were written only a few centuries after Jesus. We Muslims believe in the authenticity of the Qur'an up to this day, as mentioned in the Qur'an itself, and of which the scholars have also established evidence.
 
It is hard to discuss with Christians:
 
1/ for the irrelevance of rejecting the prophethood of Muhammad (saw), who is holy and heavenly
2/ for the irrelevance of rejecting the prophethood of Muhammad (saw), after accepting that of Jesus (as) (and they accept, as we know, more than prophecy)
3/ For the iniquity of rejecting the prophethood of Muhammad (saw), the last of the prophets that were sent to mankind, and so it will remain to the end of time.
 
Jesus and all prophets have tremendous reverence for Muhammad (saw) as we know from the Qur'an and the hadiths on the Night Journey.
 
Christianity has no right to exist.
 
 
Muslim do not believe what God said to his Prophets and THEY simply believe this because Muhammad said so his followers did not even compose the Quran properly after Muhammad passed away.
 

When Muhammad died in 632 CE, the Qur�an had not been recorded and collected into a book. Instead, Muslims memorized large portions of the Qur'an. This was especially true of people who knew Muhammad in person. The Qur�an means to recite. It is possible that some of the verses had been recorded on bones, rocks, or hides before Muhammad died. Regardless, it didn�t take long for the early Muslims to decide that they needed to have the Qur�an collected into a book.

The original Qur�an was completed by 634 CE. It is important to understand that a political process is what produced the Qur�an. In 633 CE, a military battle caused 700 Muslims to be killed. A close friend of Muhammad (named Salim) that could recite a large portion of the Qur�an was killed. What would happen if all the close followers of Muhammad were killed? Early Muslims wanted to maintain the purity of the Qur�an as Muhammad had spoken it.

So the original Qur�an of 634 CE was created during the political reign of Abu Bakr. This original Qur�an came to be known as the Hafsah codex (about 10 years later when Hafsah began to maintain it). However, this most important original manuscript of the Qur�an was destroyed by Muslim leaders in 667 CE. (Hafsah was one of Muhammad's wives. She maintained the original Qur'an until her death in 667 CE. Muslim leaders wanted to destroy the original Qur'an before Hafsah died. But she refused to hand over the codex for burning. She was successful until her death [Refer to Al-Masahif 24] It is most important to ask, "Why did Hafsah not wish to have this most important original manuscript of the Qur'an to be burnt?").   

It appears that the Hafsah codex was one of the last Qur�ans to be willingly destroyed by Muslims. Since the original Qur�an was not accepted, what happened to cause such a drastic change that required the original Qur�an to be destroyed? Why wasn�t the Hafsah codex maintained since it was created (in 634 CE) within two years after Muhammad died (in 632 CE)?

The history of how the Qur�an came to be recorded comes from reliable Muslim source materials. These are called the Hadith. Problems for the Qur�an began to occur during the reign of the 3rd political leader of Islam, whose name is Uthman (644 TO 656 CE). It appears that as the Islamic faith spread with military conquest across a large area, the soldiers were reading different versions of the Qur�an. These men wondered, "Is the Qur�an truly as pure as those close to Muhammad believed and taught?"

Thanks. ma salam

Greetings kodoo,

When you study Christianity do you study from 'Christian' and secular sources, or only from islamic source?
Do you choose 'only to preach islam'?
Have you ever considered that your conversations are one-sided?

As far as all your other references to me, you are off base.  I study always from many sources, trying to see from both sides.  Yes, I have difficulty seeing from the islamic side, and I do not understand all of what you believe, and how you support some of the things which you do, and so yes I will state that, and I will question. 

Do you understand all of what Christians believe and support?  Can you see things from their side or do you find it also hard to understand, and do you not also openly state this, and question Christians about why they believe as they do?
Have you even tried to see things from the other side?

asalaam.

I don't study Christianity. I don't wish to. And you can't force us to. If I did study however, I would start with reading the "Bible" however, not some answering christianity website. But you claim you study Islam, however through anti-Islamic BS.

And the thing is, I don't go to Christian forums to promote Islam (and I don't think they would allow me if I did), but you come to Islamic forums to promote the Americanized-Zion version of "Christianity". And that is why I tell you to stop this and instead study Islam if your aim is to do research.

With all these years of trolling on Islamic forums, can you teach me one thing about Islam? What is Salah? Why do we pray? What do the postures (standing, bowing down, prostration) mean in Islam? Why one ruku but two sajda in every rakah? Can you name me one short surah in Quran and recite it? Or a Dua/Supplication verse from Quran or hadiths of Prophet and Ahlulbayt?

I don't think so. So please stop this lie that you seek truth or study Islam. You don't. You just troll around promoting American-Zion imperialims. And you use the blessed name of Jesus for this filthy agenda.

Do you know, the worst person in earth is he who sells his religion to the world. But who is worse than him is the person who sells his religion to the worldly benefits of others. You are selling the understanding of religion, truth and justice to the material aims of American govt and Zionists.

How dare you support the criminal zionist entity! Curse of God and his Prophets, namely Jesus, be upon the criminals.

Greetings kodoo,

Precisely.  Which is why I have gone to the qur'an.


And the thing is, I don't go to Christian forums to promote Islam (and I don't think they would allow me if I did), but you come to Islamic forums to promote the Americanized-Zion version of "Christianity".

and I came to the islamic forums because I wanted to talk to muslims directly, and hear from them what they believed and understood about current events that are happening, not to 'promote' anything.

With all these years of trolling on Islamic forums, can you teach me one thing about Islam? What is Salah?

Salah, or salat, is prayer.
Shukran is thank you
asalaam or salaam is peace
asalaam alaykum is greetings
I learned early on, that it is important to muslims to use proper greetings and observe formality.  I am glad to have learned this.  I now practice this with all people.


Why do we pray?

as far as I know, muslims pray 5 times a day because allah commands it... and the washing in preparation and the bowing down are important elements that are also required by their allah

What do the postures (standing, bowing down, prostration) mean in Islam?

I would imagine these to be the indication of submission...
however I did not come to the forums to study how to be a muslim, so no I  have not learned everything there is to know.

 Why one ruku but two sajda in every rakah?

I think I remember reading the reason for this, but it is not information that my memory retained.

Can you name me one short surah in Quran and recite it?

I have not memorized any surah's, but then I have never in my life been able to memorize anything.  I do not have that kind of mind.
This I have talked about before.  One of the reasons I became convinced of the Bible as the Word of God is because the Word of God is said to be 'alive and active'... it comes to live in us... and this was proven to me because, me who could never memorize anything... the scriptures they just come to me as God speaks them to me.

Or a Dua/Supplication verse from Quran or hadiths of Prophet and Ahlulbayt?

Again, no.  I have only come to the forums to get to know muslims and to converse with them.  I believe that is the purpose of forums... to provide a place to discuss with one another.  I have picked up some general ideas of what the qur'an teaches and I mention those when my God leads me to.
I actually had some very nice verses shared with me just recently that I have been meaning to write about.

Do you know, the worst person in earth is he who sells his religion to the world. But who is worse than him is the person who sells his religion to the worldly benefits of others. You are selling the understanding of religion, truth and justice to the material aims of American govt and Zionists.

I am sorry that you have such a single minded preoccupation.  You are missing out on the rich tapestry that is life.  You spend too much of your energy, as far as I can see, in battle, and in attacking people which there is no need to do battle with.
I do not come to 'sell' anything.  I am not even a particular believer in 'religion'.  I tend to think all religion is a thing of man, and all are astray in one way or another from the purposes of the Creator. 
I do speak of my love of my Lord.  I believe only in my love of God, the things Yshwe taught, and the ways in which God has been present in my life.


Peace and blessings to you,
Caringheart

It appears that as the Islamic faith spread with military conquest across a large area, the soldiers were reading different versions of the Qur�an. These men wondered, "Is the Qur�an truly as pure as those close to Muhammad believed and taught?"

 
Authenticity of the Qur'an is proven historically and spiritually. The christian world and the orientalists work on this ground. A Book from Allah, concerning every matter, small or great, to Muhammad (saw), peace be upon him, and his family. This is from ancient teaching.
 If Allah was alive maybe, Allah predates islam long before Muhammad existance.

History proves conclusively that before Islam came into existence, the Sabbeans in Arabia worshipped the moon-god Allah who was married to the sun-goddess. We have also seen that it was a matter of common practice to use the name of the moon-god in personal names in Muhammad's tribe. That Allah was a pagan deity in pre-Islamic times is incontestible. And so we must ask ourselves the question: why was Muhammad's God named after a pagan deity in his own tribe?

It is an undeniable fact that an Allah idol was set up at the Kabah along with all the other idols of the time. The pagans prayed towards Mecca and the Kabah because that is where their gods were stationed. It made sense to them to face in the direction of their god and pray since that is where he was. Since the idol of their moon god, Allah, was at Mecca, they prayed towards Mecca.

 It is an undeniable fact of history that before Muhammed was born, the moon god "al-Ilah" Allah had three daughters named al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat. The first two were even named after their father. Each daughter had a separate shrine near Mecca, where Allah's shrine was located.
As Muhammad grew weary from evangelizing his new religion with little success, he was tricked by the devil into adding a verse in the Koran that commanded Muslims to pray to Allah's three pagan daughters Lat, Uzza and Manat. The pagan female trinity was immediately accepted without dissent and the passage was considered part of the revealed Koran. However some time later, Muhammad got a revelation from God that the verse should be removed. After repenting of the error, Muhammad was comforted by God. Such "after the fact corrective revelations" are very common with cults.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 53 Surah Najm verses 19-23:

Have you considered El-Lat and El-'Uzza and Manat the third, the other? What, have you males, and He females? That were indeed an unjust division. They are naught but names yourselves have named, and your fathers; God has sent down  no authority touching them.
 
This was mentioned in the Quran there are records in the hadiths about Allah's daughters
 
 Muhammad's desire had been realised; the Quraysh accepted him. The Muslims who had fled to Abyssinia heard about this and many of them began to return to  Mecca. The Quraysh accepted Muhammad because he had, "spoken of (their) gods in splendid fashion" (Ibn Ishaq, p. 166). The Islamic explanation as to why Muhammad accepted the idols is that he desired a way to attract the Quraysh and Satan used this opportunity to put these words on Muhammad's lips:
I am not doing this to insult islam or anything I just want to know the truth.

Muslim75 if you don't want the Bible quoted to you, don't comment to what Christians post.  Why are you on an interfaith forum, anyway?  Obviously, Muslims quote the Quran and Christians quote the Bible, so you need to grow up and conduct yourself with intelligence and tolerance on this forum.

Muslim75 and kodoo, as stated earlier, this forum is for interfaith discussion, not intrafaith discussion.  Obviously, you two gentlemen must have such a morbid fear and/or hatred of Christianity that you are truly unable to see beyond your own prejudices.  Thus, you will be impotent to add to the richness of a discussion about different religions, atheism, humanism, agnosticism, or whatever.  If you cannot separate your emotions from an intellectual discussion about such matters without spiraling down into a fear-driven tirade and personal attack on Christians, you risk showing your bigotry and dishonor your own religion.  Undoubtedly there are forums where you can spew your vitriol, otherwise, expect to be challenged by Christians.  We are not your punching bag, so back off.  Peace.

Quote the Holy Qur'an or the Holy Hadiths, if you want to maintain credibility. Jesus was not a king or a man of authority, and so were those who dealt with his sayings. There is no way in the 21 st century that anything from the Bible can be trusted. An additional proof for that is that there is no trace today of a book that was revealed to Jesus, from God. Allah Almighty did reveal to Jesus a book, the Gospel. But He did not wish that the Gospel be protected, preserved and kept authentic.

Muslims like to make a great fuss about how well the Quran has been preserved versus the Bible; but from that point of view, the hadith are surely the least reliable of the three sources.  Even Muslims acknowledge that they are of varying authenticity, and many of them are outright fabrications.  Why would you reject the Bible, but accept the hadith?

And regarding the authority of Jesus: don't Muslims accept Jesus as a prophet?  Doesn't that make him a "man of authority"?

Ron,
the Quran and the books contained in the "Bible" like Torah, Psalm, and Gospel are God's books, His revelations, Hadith is not God's revelation rather narrations of the companions of the prophet, word of men and thus of course need to be looked differently.

As a Muslim, we are told to believe that those previous revelations were from Allah. We are also told that the Quran is the Final revelation from God and that the previous scriptures were altered.

For those of us who have studied both the books know the results well. And it is that outcome that speaks for itself.

The Quran was also altered as the Sana'a scriptures show.

Even Mohamed in person abrogated = changed the Quran.
Does  this imply  that God changed his mind in between ?
If not why not ?

Why should God protect one holy book (the Quran) but not another (the Bible) ?
Are there different levels of "holyness ?

Have you not read a translation of the Qur'an ?


Greetings Muslim75,

I have read a good deal of the qur'an, but have not completed it.
The passages that muslims quote, I do not find to say that the earlier scriptures were corrupted.  In fact I find that the qur'an confirms the earlier scriptures ... telling people that they should 'consult the people of the Book'.
What I have found the qur'an to criticize is that the 'people of the Book' (or I think more accurately, the Jews) were not following(or practicing) what their scriptures tell them.
Have you read, and studied, the qur'an fully?  Or do you only know what you have been taught in this regard?

Could you please cite specific passages?

Shukran and salaam,
Caringheart

Amigo,
short memory or you just like me to do the looking up work, anyway it is good I am the one getting reward, God willing, :)
"So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hard. They distort words from their [proper] usages and have forgotten a portion of that of which they were reminded. And you will still observe deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook [their misdeeds]. Indeed, Allah loves the doers of good."5:13
"O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger making clear to you much of what you used to conceal of the Scripture and overlooking much. There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear Book." 5:15

There are more, but I guess it answers your question.

The Qur'an tells you word per word, and in the early stages of revelation that whatever word was spoken by Muhammad was revelation (see Surah 53).


Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) tells you that when his Companions are mentioned, you must hold back.


The sources of the knowledge of Islam are 3: the Qur'an, the Hadiths and the special knowledge of Sufi saints. From these 3 sources come all the libraries filled with the books this religion boasts of.
/



AssalamAlykum,
Al Quran was sent as a revelation to the prophet. It is word of God, and we treat it as such. Hadith were narrations of people other than the prophet, they were not the words of God. And since there was a danger of some hadiths being fake, as there were and still are a very strict code of classifying and labeling them was followed to this day.
Sura 53 talks about revelation of the Quran and Pophets's (pbuh) journey to the heavens.

Jazakallah,
Hasan
