Tower of Babble

by Ibn Anwar

  According to the Bible the world was once united by ONE common language , ”the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.” (Gen 11:1). However, this status quo changed over night in the famous incident of the “Tower of Babylon” wherein humanity wanted to see God, so they built an exceedingly high tower to reach Him. In recipcoration of their arrogance, God punished them by putting a curse on them i.e. speaking many different languages which led to confusion and chaos, hence stopping them from completing the tower. This is the story found in Genesis 11. Accordingly, we are still afflicted with this curse because each society today boasts a unique language of its own. However, there is a verse in the Old Testament which says that this curse will be lifted :

“For then will I turn to the people a pure language that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve Him with one consent.” (Zaphaniah 3:9)

The following is one of the most interesting Biblical stories I’ve come across. I thought I’d share it with the readers.

Many Christians like Sam Shamoun, Craig Wynn and others simply love going around bad mouthing the Qur’an, saying that it contains perverted, nonsensical teachings. Let us have have a glimpse of their “sensical” Bible.

This is an open Challenge to those who accept the Trinity and believe that the Bible confirms this doctrine. I challenge you to bring at least one explicit biblical verse which clearly states something similar to the following:

“God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost are all gods, however, they are not three gods but one God,”

or

“God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are the same being,”

or

“God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are one and the same” or etc.

I, Ibn Sa’ad, was on a Mainstream Jewish site, called “Judaism 101 and I was suprised to see what they had under the secion “What does the Talmud say about Jesus?”:

” Rambam and many other prominent Jewish scholars believed that the stories of Jesus are based on Yeshu ben Pandeira, also known as Yeshu ha-Notzri (”Jesus the Branch,” a reference to Isaiah 11:1, a passage about the messiah).”

Is Jesus a Christian?

by Ibn Anwar

Recently , on paltalk a Christian entered my room “The Traditional Order of Islam” and asked the room about Jesus. He enquired, ” Muslims believe Jesus is a Muslim. Is this supported anywhere in the Bible?” Before I gave any answer I countered,”What do you think Jesus was?” Unhesitantly, he replied,”His name is Jesus CHRIST, he was Christian, duh”. This article is a humble attempt in response to such queries posed by Christians to Muslims.

A focal issue put forth by Jews of our time for rejecting Islam, the Qur’an, and the prophet Muhammad is the idea that the Taurat(Torah) present with them has not been changed whatsoever. Sprouted from this idea comes arguments that they try to use to claim that what the Prophet Muhammad came with is false. In this article I will attempt to examine the authenticity of the Torah that the Jews possess today, expound on the position of Islam regarding it, as well as discussing some issues relating to it.

A claim that many radical christians make in their endless endeavors to convert Muslims to christianity is that the Qur’an affirms the books that are in their possession, namely, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The purpose of this article is to show the falsehood of their claim that the New Testament in particular is endorsed by the Qur’an and also to clarify what the Injeel is and isn’t.

A site I found many years ago in my early years after accepting Islaam that helped me on my travels in refuting the ignorant American theologians that I encountered was Islamic-Awareness.org. I stumbled, while searching through some of the more recently updated articles, upon a refutation of the orientalists, that in my view is one of the best researched articles they have on their site. It is regarding Hamanin the Qur’an. Who was he in relationship to Fir’awn? I will sum up their rather lengthy article, that I hope you all take your time in reading, here insha’allah.

Allah mentions him in 6 places in the Qur’an:

ونمكن لهم في الأرض ونري فرعون وهامان وجنودهما منهم ما كانوا يحذرون 

To establish a firm place for them in the land, and to show Pharaoh, Haman, and their hosts, at their hands, the very things against which they were taking precautions. [28:6]

فالتقطه آل فرعون ليكون لهم عدوا وحزنا إن فرعون وهامان وجنودهما كانوا خاطئين

Then the people of Pharaoh picked him up (from the river): (It was intended) that (Moses) should be to them an adversary and a cause of sorrow: for Pharaoh and Haman and (all) their hosts were men of sin. [28:8]
