The Message of Islam




Some of our Christians Brothers & Sisters saying that your Holy Qur‟an Mentions that Jesus (PBUH) Is "KALIMATULLAH, Which Means "The Word Of Allah”- And Also As "RUHULLAH‟ Which Means "The Spirit Of Allah": Is That Not Indicating His Divinity?

Dear Christian Brothers & Sisters, Allah SWT says in Holy Qur‟an, Surah 3:45 Ali-„Imran" [AND MENTION] WHEN THE ANGELS SAID, “O MARY, INDEED GOD GIVES YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF A WORD FROM HIM, WHOSE NAME WILL BE THE MESSIAH, JESUS, THE SON OF MARY – DISTINGUISHED IN THIS WORLD AND THE HEREAFTER AND AMONG THOSE BROUGHT NEAR [TO GOD]”.

If a person is referred to as "a word" from Allah SWT, it means that he is a Messenger of Allah SWT. In chap 7 verse 144, it states that Allah SWT spoke directly with Moses (PBUH) and had chosen him (during Moses‟s time) “O MOSES (PBUH)! I HAVE CHOSEN THEE ABOVE (OTHER) MEN, BY THE MESSAGES 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”.

The title of a Prophet does not mean that it exclusively belongs to that Prophet. Different titles are mentioned for the different prophets in the Holy Qur‟an. Whenever a title is given to a prophet it does not necessarily mean that the other prophets do not have the same characteristic or quality. E.g. Prophet Abraham (PBUH) is referred to in the Qur‟an as “KHALEELULLAH”, meaning a "FRIEND OF ALLAH SWT. This does not mean that all the other Prophets were not the friends of Allah SWT.

Prophet Moses (PBUH) is referred to in the Qur‟an as “KALEEMULLAH”, indicating that God spoke to him. This does not mean that God did not speak to the other Prophets. Similarly when Jesus (PBUH) is referred to in the Qur‟an as “KALIMATULLAH”, "A WORD FROM ALLAH", it does not mean that the other Prophets were not "the word" of Allah SWT. Every Prophet is “a word of Allah SWT” as each was entrusted with the message of Allah SWT to give to his nation.

Yahya i.e. John the Baptist is also referred to in the Qur‟aan as “KALIMATULLAH” i.e. a word of Allah SWT says in Holy Quran, Surah 3:38-40 Ali-„Imran “AT THAT, ZECHARIAH CALLED UPON HIS LORD, SAYING, “MY LORD, GRANT ME FROM YOURSELF A GOOD OFFSPRING. INDEED, YOU ARE THE HEARER OF SUPPLICATION.” SO THE ANGELS CALLED HIM WHILE HE WAS STANDING IN PRAYER IN THE CHAMBER, “INDEED, GOD GIVES YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF JOHN, CONFIRMING A WORD FROM GOD AND [WHO WILL BE] HONOURABLE, ABSTAINING [FROM WOMEN], AND A PROPHET FROM AMONG THE RIGHTEOUS.” HE SAID, “MY LORD, HOW WILL I HAVE A BOY WHEN I HAVE REACHED OLD AGE AND MY WIFE IS BARREN?” HE [THE ANGEL] SAID, “SUCH IS GOD; HE DOES WHAT HE WILLS.”

Prophet Zachariah was 110 years old, and his noble wife was 90 years old and they were past childbearing age. This is a very important point, because the birth of prophet Yahya was also MIRACULOUS in that both his parents were old. The wife of Prophet Zachariah was barren as the verse above states.

In the case of Mary (PBUH), the mother of Jesus (PBUH), she was young. However, for her to conceive without any male intervention is also a miracle. So in fact both births were miraculous.

Allah SWT says in Holy Quran, Surah 3:45-48 “[AND MENTION] WHEN THE ANGELS SAID, “O MARY, INDEED GOD GIVES YOU GOOD TIDINGS OF A WORD FROM HIM, WHOSE NAME WILL BE THE MESSIAH, JESUS, THE SON OF MARY – DISTINGUISHED IN THIS WORLD AND THE HEREAFTER AND AMONG THOSE BROUGHT NEAR [TO GOD]. HE WILL SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE IN THE CRADLE AND IN MATURITY AND WILL BE OF THE RIGHTEOUS.” SHE SAID, “MY LORD, HOW WILL I HAVE A CHILD WHEN NO MAN HAS TOUCHED ME?” [THE ANGEL] SAID, “SUCH IS GOD; HE CREATES WHAT HE WILLS. WHEN HE DECREES A MATTER, HE ONLY SAYS TO IT, „BE,‟ AND IT IS. AND HE WILL TEACH HIM WRITING AND WISDOM AND THE TORAH AND THE GOSPEL”

Jesus (PBUH) referred as „Ruhullah‟ Jesus (PBUH) is also referred to as "a spirit proceeding from Allah" Allah SWT says in Holy Quran, Surah 4:171 an- Nisa‟: "O PEOPLE OF THE SCRIPTURE, DO NOT COMMIT EXCESS IN YOUR RELIGION OR SAY ABOUT GOD EXCEPT THE TRUTH. THE MESSIAH, JESUS, THE SON OF MARY, WAS BUT A MESSENGER OF GOD AND HIS WORD WHICH HE DIRECTED TO MARY AND A SOUL [CREATED AT A COMMAND] FROM HIM. SO BELIEVE IN GOD AND HIS MESSENGERS. AND DO NOT SAY, “THREE”; DESIST - IT IS BETTER FOR YOU. INDEED, GOD IS BUT ONE GOD. EXALTED IS HE ABOVE HAVING A SON. TO HIM BELONGS WHATEVER IS IN THE HEAVENS AND WHATEVER IS ON THE EARTH. AND SUFFICIENT IS GOD AS DISPOSER OF AFFAIRS”.

A spirit from Allah does not indicate that Jesus (PBUH) is God. Allah SWT says in Holy Quran, Surah 15:29 al-Hijr “AND WHEN I HAVE PROPORTIONED HIM AND BREATHED INTO HIM OF MY [CREATED] SOUL, THEN FALL DOWN TO HIM IN PROSTRATION.”

Allah SWT says in Holy Quran, Surah 32:9 as-Sajdah “THEN HE PROPORTIONED HIM AND BREATHED INTO HIM FROM HIS [CREATED] SOUL AND MADE FOR YOU HEARING AND VISION AND HEARTS [I.E., INTELLECT]; LITTLE ARE YOU GRATEFUL”.

This verse demonstrates that the spirit of God is breathed into every man. It is a mystical relation between human nature and Divine nature. The word „ruh‟ distinguishes man from the animal world.

Quotes from Christian Scholars about the bible:

Hastings in „The Dictionary of the Bible says: “It is doubtful whether Jesus used the expression „son of God‟ to refer to himself.” Adrian Thatcher writes in his book- „Truly a Person, Truly God‟ (London: SPCK, 1990) P.77. - “There is scarcely a single competent New Testament Scholar who is prepared to defend the view that the four instances of the absolute use of “I am” in John, or indeed most of the other uses, can be historically attributed to Jesus.”

David Brown in his book titled, ‘The Divine Trinity’ writes: “There is good evidence to suggest that Jesus never saw himself as a suitable object of worship,”

Michael Ramsey writes in his book, „Jesus and the Living Past‟- (1980) pages 39 to 43: “JESUS DID NOT CLAIM DEITY FOR HIMSELF”. He goes further and writes: “The title „son of god‟ need not of it-self be of high significance, for in Jewish circles it might mean no more than the Messiah or indeed the whole of the Israelite nation, and in popular Hellenism there were many sons of God, meaning inspired holy men.”

Brian Hebblewaite admits in his book, „The Incarnation ‟page 74, printed in 1987 that: „IT IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE TO DEFEND THE DIVINITY OF JESUS BY REFERENCE TO THE CLAIMS OF JESUS‟. (The miraculous birth of Jesus can only be proven through the Glorious Qur‟an. If it had not been stated in the Glorious Qur‟an, Muslims would not have believed in it, and there would have been no proof whatsoever for the Christian world. The reason is that the Bible‟s evidence cannot be relied on as stated even by Christian Scholars. The Christian world owes an unrepayable debt to the Glorious Qur‟an, which is the true Word of Allah).

It would be fitting to mention here that the Christian missionaries are very deceitful in their scheming by quoting from the Qur‟an about the miraculous birth of Jesus (PBUH) which Muslims believe in, and then go on to distort the meaning deliberately of other verses of the Qur‟an to try and substantiate some arguments of theirs. This demands answers to the following questions:

Why do you quote from the Glorious Qur‟an when you do not believe in the Glorious Qur‟an?

1 There is no reference in your Bible giving you any authority to quote from the Glorious Qur‟an.

2 In fact no Christian can quote even one verse from the Glorious Qur‟an, as your Bible does not consent to, or sanction you to quote anything at all from the Glorious Qur‟an! The reason is self-evident- Jesus (PBUH) came approx. 600 years before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

3. If you disagree, then kindly show us proof from your Bible to substantiate your argument that Christians can quote from the Glorious Qur‟an. All the thousands of versions of Bibles that are in circulation all over the world are untrustworthy witnesses to the miraculous birth of Jesus (PBUH) Not even one will stand up as a trustworthy witness in any court of law anywhere in the world. Why do I say this? In any court of law, if a witness is established to be lying, fabricating evidence, contradicting other witnesses and generally saying things that can easily be disproved, then THE JUDGE IN THE CASE WILL REFUSE TO ACCEPT ANY TESTIMONY FROM THE WITNESS. In exactly this approach, the Bible has been found to be a totally unreliable witness by stating incorrect facts on all branches of science, having more than 50,000 ERRORS, hundreds of contradictions, hundreds of absurdities, no two Gospels writers are in agreement with important issues, dozens of incest, horrible accusations against the Prophets of God etc. No judge will accept the testimony of all the Bibles in the world due to this over whelming evidence of untruths etc mentioned above.

THE CHRISTIAN WORLD HAS NO SOLID PROOF WHATSOEVER TO PROVE EVEN THE MIRACULOUS BIRTH OF JESUS (PBUH)! THE ONLY SURE WAY FOR CHRISTIANS TO PROVE THE MIRACULOUS BIRTH OF PROPHET JESUS (PBUH) IS TO SUBMIT TO THE GLORIOUS QUR‟AAN AS A WITNESS!

A very tiny number of the fabrications, contradictions and corruptions of the Bible are mentioned in this book. It would take more than ten volumes of a thousand pages each to list every fabrication, contradiction and corruption of the Bible, old and new.

We ask the missionaries and born agains to refrain from quoting from the Qur‟an to Muslims. They have no authority to do so, unless they accept the Qur‟an as the final and perfect revelation from Allah SWT, which it has proved to be; and to stop preaching about original sin and blood of Christ to Muslims, which cannot be proven by the words of JESUS (PBUH) himself in the Bible! They quote Paul who was never a disciple of Jesus (PBUH)!

However, if the testimony of the Glorious Qur‟an is tested in any court of law, in any country, any Judge will accept the testimony of the Qur‟an as every statement will be proved true and correct, and on the basis of all the testimony being 100% correct, any Judge will have no hesitation in accepting the
miraculous birth of Jesus (PBUH) and that he was never crucified! Christians must take cognizance of the fact that the Glorious Qur‟an clearly warns against the belief of the trinity and that Jesus was God, or son of God! Allah will never forgive this blasphemy as stated in chap.4 v. 48 of the Glorious Qur‟an!

On the other hand Muslims have the authority to quote from the Bible to prove the PRESENT Bible has been interpolated and corrupted. This is clearly stated in the Glorious Qur‟an, in chap 2 verse 79,

“SO WOE TO THOSE WHO WRITE THE “SCRIPTURE” WITH THEIR OWN HANDS, THEN SAY, “THIS IS FROM GOD,” IN ORDER TO EXCHANGE IT FOR A SMALL PRICE. WOE TO THEM FOR WHAT THEIR HANDS HAVE WRITTEN AND WOE TO THEM FOR WHAT THEY EARN”.

The Glorious Qur‟an refers to Jesus (PBUH) in the following verses of the Qur‟an, and on the basis of this proof from Allah SWT; Muslims are compelled to quote and disprove all the interpolations and additions that have been introduced into the Bible in discussions with Christians:

Chap 3: vs. 64 - 80; vs.98-99; vs.113-115; vs. 186-187; v.199; Chap 4: vs. 47; 153 - 161 & Chap 5: vs. 64-66; v.69 Chap 6: v. 20 & Chap 19: vs. 88 - 92 Chap 18: vs. 4 - 5 & Chap 10: vs. 68 - 70

Chap 61 verse 6 of the Glorious Qur‟an states (1) the Injeel (Good News) was given to Prophet Jesus (PBUH), (2) Jesus (PBUH) states clearly the coming of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), (3) Jesus (PBUH) also states that he is confirming the Law (At Taurat) that was given to Moses (PBUH) and he came to follow the Law!

“THEY SAY: „(ALLAH) MOST GRACIOUS HAS BEGOTTEN A SON! INDEED YE HAVE PUT FORTH A THING MOST MONSTROUS! WHEREBY THE SKIES ARE READY TO BURST, THE EARTH TO SPLIT ASUNDER, AND THE MOUNTAINS TO FALL DOWN IN UTTER RUIN. THAT THEY SHOULD INVOKE A SON FOR (ALLAH) MOST GRACIOUS-FOR IT IS NOT CONSONANT WITH THE MAJESTY OF (ALLAH) MOST GRACIOUS THAT HE SHOULD BEGET A SON.” (Al-Qur’an 19:88-92)

“THE JEWS SAY: “THE CHRISTIANS HAVE NAUGHT TO (STAND) UPON”, AND THE CHRISTIANS SAY: “THE JEWS HAVE NAUGHT TO (STAND) UPON”. YET THEY (PROFESS) TO STUDY THE (SAME) BOOK…” (Al-Qur’an chap 2.v. 113)

If you still insist on quoting from the Qur‟an then you will have to accept the entire Qur‟an, as it is the only Scripture which is pure as it was revealed in Arabic, as has been acknowledged by unbiased Christians Scholars, and read the following verses as a warning to you: “O YOU WHO BELIEVE! LO! MANY OF THE (JEWISH) RABBIS AND THE (CHRISTIAN) MONKS (PRIESTS) DEVOUR THE WEALTH OF MANKIND WANTONLY AND DEBAR (MEN) FROM THE WAY OF ALLAH. THEY HOARD UP GOLD AND SILVER AND SPEND IT NOT IN THE WAY OF ALLAH; UNTO THEM GIVE TIDINGS (O MUHAMMED) OF A PAINFUL DOOM.” (Qur’an Chap 9 v. 34)

“AND YOUR GOD (ALLAH) IS ONE GOD (ALLAH): THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE, MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL”. (Al-Qur’an Chap 2 v 163)
