“Abraham was neither a “Jew” nor a “Christian”, but was one who turned away from all that is false, having surrendered himself unto God; and he was not of those who ascribe divinity to aught beside Him.(Qur’an;3:67)“Abraham “believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness  (Genesis 15:6). ” So you see that it is men of faith who are the sons of Abraham.”(Galatians;3:6-7)“If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.” (Jesus,  John; 8:39)
Islam is the legacy of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him), the true monotheist

 The Creator Is there a God?
The idea of a Supreme Power who is the First Cause of all things, the Creator and Ruler of heaven and earth has always been part of human nature from the beginning. The belief on God was followed by His worship in different cultures. The relation of a group of human beings to God or the gods or to whatever they consider sacred or, in some cases, merely supernatural is known as religion. The beliefs supporting the existence of God or against it, including the middle positions have resulted in an array of doctrines, the most prominent among them are; Theism, Monotheism, Theodicy, Deism, Agnosticism and Atheism. The main issue which have remained the center of attention of believers of the God has been; How to prove the existence of God rationally? Dilated upon in this book. The Abrahamic religions e.g., Judaism, Christianity, and Islam attempt to satisfy human quest through the Revealed knowledge received by the prophets and messengers of God. While exploring the historic development in theosophical and scientific aspects about ‘The God’ and ‘The Creation’ specifically in the three religions linked to Abraham.  Islam emerges as true legacy of Abraham contrary to the common perception that it was a new religion founded by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Does God really exist? Find out more, click ‘The Creator
The Creation : Why do we exist?
Man has always been inquisitive about the origin and creation of universe to which earth is just a small part. The whole cosmic system of matter and energy is called universe.

The Guidance : Does human need to be guided? If so, how?
It is said that human is a thinking, rational animal. He knows what is right and what is wrong, so does he/she need some additional source of Guidance? Some say ‘No’, while others say ‘Yes’ and still there are who say ‘I Don’t know’. The Book “Guidance” includes, natural guidance, miracles & signs; The brief on the messengers of God; from Adam – Noah – Abraham – Ishmael – Isaac – Jacob -Moses – David, Solomon - John The Baptist (peace be upon them all), Prophet Jesus Christ, The Son of Mary (peace be upon him) and The Last Messenger; Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Humanity has been blessed with the instincts and intellect to rationally identify and believe in the existence of a Supreme Creator and Sustainer through the signs within and all around. The man endeavors to live the life within the desired parameters to achieve His pleasure, the objective of his creation. This original religion was revived: Islam, in its unique spirit of monotheism, fourteen hundred years ago in concordance with the light of reason; exclusive of mysterious doctrines to cast a shade of sentimental ignorance round the original truths rooted in the human intellect, representing the latest development of the religious faculties.

Peace-Forum: Trinity-Analysis from Bible

Peace-Forum: Trinity-Analysis from Bible

Trinity-Analysis from Bible

Though the Bible is very clear on One, Single God, some Christian theologians developed the doctrine of Trinity assigning title of Godhead to Jesus Christ, as son of God along with Father [God] and Holy Spirit while insisting that the God is One! 1+1+1=1 not 3. This is a unique equation to which even Sir Isaac Newton could not agree and rejected it. Sir Anthony Buzzard and Joseph Good explain the fallacy of this mysterious doctrine in a debate. The excerpts from this debate from monotheistic [non Trinitarian] percept are being presented in this set of 5 videos.


Qur'an is unequivocally, absolutely clear on Oneness of God [Allah], while some other issues are debated, Muslims are unanimous on Oneness of God [Allah] and truthfulness, originality and reliability of Qur'an as the word of God. More on Trinity at http://wp.me/PCgrB-dI

The Doctrine of the TRINITY... Mystery or Confusion?

"There is but One God, the Father." -- 1 Corinthians 8:6

All who consider the issue agree that the doctrine of the Trinity is incomprehensible. Its most ardent proponents suppose this to be a strength -- that as we cannot comprehend the majesty and glory of the infinite Creator, so we cannot fathom his nature and being. Not so. The Creator has explicitly revealed himself through His Word as a mighty, unitary being, the great first cause of all things, having no equal, no predecessor and no successor. For 4000 years those who worshiped Him and trusted Him had no hint, no surmise, no suggestion that he was other than the single, unitary God He declared Himself :

"Hear, O Israel, the LORD your God is One" (Deut. 6:4).

"Know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD" (Isaiah 43:10, 11).

Attacks on Islam- The Rebuttal

After 911 it is trendy among some extremist to blame and criticize Islam, Qur’an the Holy Scripture and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for all the troubles on this planet especially the menace of terrorism. Amazingly the critics lack in the basic knowledge of their own faith [Christianity] and scripture [Bible]. Their crude little knowledge about Islam is based upon anti Islamic biased sources which add fuel to the fire. Intellectually they are at the same level as extremists or elsewhere. They try to make their writings authentic by quoting isolated verses from Qur’an mostly out of context to extract meanings satisfying their preconceived notions. The methodology is to mix half-truths with references and outright lies, either without references or irrelevant references.  One is made to believe as if no good can be found in Islam, even a Muslims marrying a widow as a social welfare service is projected as a scheme to produce more warriors. Such people claim to educate the non Muslims about real face of Islam through novel idea to read book on Qur’an written by some biased non Muslim. Fearful of rapid growth and popularity of Islam all over the world especially among the pragmatic Europeans and American, these critics of Islam try to censure it by bringing up key components of the package of ideas (or bundle of beliefs) known as Islam as per his perceptions. The deceive the simple reader, all over the cyber space and media. The twenty eight points of subjective criticism have been taken from such anti Islamic sources as a base for objective analysis and rebuttal. Since Islam is the faith followed by all the prophets, a legacy of Prophet Abraham [pbuh], references form Bible are also quoted where ever required, this is especially for the satisfaction of followers of earlier scriptures. Aim is not criticize Christianity or Judaism but put the facts with references in correct perspective.

Give None Offence-Peace


We are living in a Global Village; the humanity has to learn to live in peace as good neighbors by tolerating the divergent views of members of other Faiths. The Bible and Qur’an are unanimous:
·      “.. Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyselfs..”.[Matthew 22:39-40, similarly Leviticus 19:18] 
·      “..be good to your parents, kinfolks, orphans, the helpless, near and far neighbors who keep company with you..” [Qur’an;4:36].
[More verses quoted below].
However extremist with Jewish, Christians and Muslim names try to interpret the scriptures to their convenience to justify their unethical activities. Such people though in minority, succeed to tarnish the image of whole community, [they falsely pretend to represent] through their malicious actions. 


Recently some people with Christian names have re-launched the blasphemous campaign under the guise of “Freedom of Expression” against honorable Prophet of Islam, highly revered by 1.5 Billion Muslims. How much love and affection Muslims have for their Prophet, is beyond the imagination of any non Muslim.


No Christian worth the name would indulge in such asinine acts, which are not only against the basic human norms of decency but also against the teachings of Bible and Jesus Christ, they pretend to believe.


The learned Christians appreciate and praise the Prophet of Islam, just to quote Edward Gibbon and Simon Oakley:


"The greatest success of Mohammad’s life was effected by sheer moral force." …“It is not the propagation but the permanency of his religion that deserves our wonder, the same pure and perfect impression which he engraved at Mecca and Medina is preserved after the revolutions of twelve centuries by the Indian, the African and the Turkish proselytes of the Koran....The Mahometans have uniformly withstood the temptation of reducing the object of their faith and devotion to a level with the senses and imagination of man. ‘I believe in One God and Mahomet the Apostle of God’ is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honors of the prophet have never transgressed the measure of human virtue, and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion.” More is available at: [‘History of the Saracen Empire,’ London, 1870’, http://cyberistan.org/islamic/quote1.html]


It’s high time that the silent majority of simple believers from each of the great Abrahamic Faiths should wakeup from long slumber, break the silence and condemn such barbaric people by raising their voice to be heard by the world. Join the effort for Peace; raise your voice against blasphemy of Prophet of Islam. Know, more about Prophet of Islam at  http://wp.me/PCgrB-mf

Peaceful Coexistence- Bible & Qur’an
·      Thou shall not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD. [Old Testament, Leviticus 19:18]
·      And the second [commandment] is like unto it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. [Matthew 22:39-40] 
·      And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them likewise.[Luke 6:31] 
·      Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. [Matthew 7:12]. That the great rule of righteousness and equity in all the dealings with men is; “To do us we would be done unto”: it is a short rule, a full rule, and a clear rule; both the light of nature and the law of Christ bind it upon his followers.
·      “Serve God and do not associate any partner with Him, and be good to your parents, kinfolks, orphans, the helpless, near and far neighbors who keep company with you, the travelers in need, and the and what your right hands possess. Allah does not love those who are arrogant and boastful [Qur’an;4:36]. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) mentioned that; "The Angel Gabriel has reminded me so often of the rights of a neighbor until I began to think that a neighbor may have a claim to inheritance."[Sunnah Abu Dawood.2446]. “Prophet said: You like for the people what you like for yourself, and you dislike for them what you dislike for yourself.”[Al-Tirmidhi Hadith,11, 1334]
·      "As for such (of the unbelievers) as do not fight against you on account of your faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, Allah does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity. Indeed, Allah loves those who act equitably"(Qur’an;60:8).
·       “If one amongst the pagans ask thee for asylum grant it to him so that he may hear the word of Allah and then escort him to where he can be secure: that is because they are men without knowledge”.(Qur’an;9:6
·      “If possible, so far as it depends upon you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." No, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”(Romans;12:18-21).
·      Give none offense [1Corinthians 10:32]
·      Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. [Matthew 5:16]
·      Jesus Christ & Gospel Respected by Qur’an: “And We caused Jesus, the son of Mary, to follow in the footsteps of those (earlier prophets), confirming the truth of what ever there still remained of the Torah (Law); and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein there was guidance and a light, confirming the truth of whatever there still remained of the Torah, and as a guidance and admonition unto the God conscious.” (Qur’an;5:46).




On ‘PEACE’
·      One of attributive names of God in Qur’an and Bible is ‘Peace’ [‘As-Salaam’, The Source of Peace [Qur’an;59:23, Jehovah-Shalom, Judges;6:24]. Shalom, Salaam [Peace] is also common greeting, and salutation among Hebrews, Arabs and Muslims. [Genesis;43:23,  John;20:19,Qur’an;6:54]
·      The Word ‘’ “Salaam” in Arabic, “Shalom” in Hebrew and ‘Shelawm’ in Armaic literally means "Peace" and are cognates of each other, derived from the Semitic Triconsonantal of  Ś-L-M (realized in Hebrew as Š-L-M and in Arabic as S-L-M). In Greek ‘eirene’ i-ray'-nay  means peace. The word ‘ISLAM’, derived  from  Arabic root  ‘S-L-M,’  means  'PEACE' or ‘submission’. In religious context ‘Islam’ means;   ‘Attainment of peace through complete submission to the will of God or his laws’.
·       “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” [Matthew 5:9] 
·      “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord”. [Hebrews;12:14]. This is the temper of the gospel, make war with sin, but not with men; with bad passions and corrupt desires, but not with our fellow-worms.
·      “Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it”.[Psalms 34:14]
·      “And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men”.[ Acts 24:16] 
·       “For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it”[1 Peter 3:10-11]  .
·      “But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment”.[Matthew 12:36] 
·      “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you”:[Matthew 6:14] 
·      “Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another”.[Romans 14:19]
·      “They also that render evil for good are my adversaries; because I follow the thing that is good”.[Psalms 38:20]
·      “If the enemy is inclined towards peace, do make peace with them, and put your trust in Allah. He is the One Who hears all , knows all”.(Qur’an;8:61)

Jesus Christ Glorified in Islam:
http://wp.me/PCgrB-72 , http://wp.me/PCgrB-83 , http://wp.me/PCgrB-dI
Muslims believe in all messengers of God: “As for those who believe in Allah and His Messengers and do not discriminate between any of them, We shall soon give them their due rewards. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”(Qur’an;4:152). Jesus was the last Hebrew prophet, who was sent by God to preach the  implantation of the Law of Moses to the Jews (Mathew;5:17-20) and make lawful some of that which was forbidden to them(Qur’an;3:49,50). Muslims believe in Jesus as messenger of God (Bible;Acts;2:22), his miraculous birth without father (Qur’an;19:16-40, Matthew;1:18-25 & Luke;1:28-35), the miracles performed by the will of God(Qur’an;3:49, Mathew;4:23,9:35, Luke; 4:22, 9:11, 3:8 and Acts:4:16).  They further believe in the revelations (scripture) he received form God, who saved him and raised him up to Himself, to be sent back to this world before end of time.
The Qur’an has clearly emphasized the importance to the Muslims of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him).  Jesus was no doubt was sent with a direct mission to the Israelites; he was also a universal sign. In Qur’an (21:107) the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has been termed as a Mercy unto Human­ity (Rahmatun lil Alamin), in the same Chapter (21:91) Mary and Jesus have been termed as a "Sign to Humanity" (Ayatun lil Alamin) due to miraculous birth of Jesus to virgin Mary. It is important that though many prophets are men­tioned in the Qur’an the word Alamin (universe or humanity) has been used "only for Prophet Jesus and Mohammed (peace be upon them). In addition to his mission to the Israelites Jesus was commissioned with the task of heralding to the world the advent of the Last and the greatest. (John;14:16,15:26,16:7,12-14, Qur’an;6:20).

Who is this Prophet mentioned in Bible?
·      "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him"(Deuteronomy;18:18,19).
·      "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth (referring to Muhammad) is come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me"(John; 16:12-14)
·       "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."(John;14:16);“But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me;”(John;15:26)
·       “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”(John;16:7).
·      “What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the tenants, and will give the vineyard unto others.”(Mark;12:9, also refer to Leviticus 26:15-18) 
·       Advent of the Prophet was foretold in Torah and Gospel.[Genesis; 12:2,3; 17:10-12; 18:18,19;20-21;49:1-10; Deuteronomy;21:15-17; 33:2-4. Isaiah;42:1-8; 11-13;Song of Solomon; 5:16. John;12:14-16; 16:12-14;15:26;16:7]. From these verses it may be deduced that the prophet after Jesus Christ would be:
1)     A rider upon a camel.
2)     God’s servant (Abduho).
3)     God's Elect (Mustafa).
4)     Inhabitant   of   the   villages   of Prince Kedar,   son of Ishmael.
5)     His religion will be known as Shiloh (means; Peace-Islam).
6)     His light will shine from Faran.
7)     The scepter (A staff held by a sovereign as an emblem of authority or Ruling power or authority; sovereignty) of Judah will pass on to him.
8)     God will put his words in his mouth.
9)     He shall not fail and shall not break.
10) He will have similarities with Moses.
11) He shall be known as Comforter, (Advocate, Ahmad)
