Bismi Allah (In the Name of Allah)
Here is a Qur’anic verse which says that Allah is the only deity to be worshipped. This means that Allah’s countenance must be alike to a deity—just like any
supreme idol. The only difference is that Allah is the only idol to be worshipped. We have already seen this idol in nothing but in the stone/s of Ka’ba.YUSUFALI: And question thou our messengers whom We sent before thee; did We appoint any deities other than (Allah) Most Gracious, to be worshipped? Here is a hadith to elaborate more on this.
Allah was a deity… (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 1.1.0169)
This hadith is not available online. So I shall quote from the print version of Sunaan Abu Dawud
vol.I, Hadith number 169:
‘Uqbah b. ‘Amir said: We served ourselves in the company of Messenger of Allah (may be peace on him). We tended our camels by turn. One day I had my turn to tend the camels, and I drove them in the afternoon. I found the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) addressing the people. I heard him say: Anyone amongst you who performs ablution, and does it well, then he stands and offers two rak’ahs of prayer, concentrating on it with his heart and body, Paradise will be his lot by all means. I said: Ha–ha! How fine it is! A man in front of me said: The action (mentioned by the Prophet) earlier, O ‘Uqbah, is finer than this one. I looked at him and found him to be ‘Umar b. al-Khattab. I asked him: What is that, O Abu Hafs? He replied: he (the Prophet) had said before you came: If any one of you performs ablution, and does it well, and when he finishes the ablution, he utters the words: I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah; He has no associate, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the servant and His Messenger, all the eight doors of Paradise will be opened for him; he may enter (through) any of them.
Muawiyah said: rabi’ah b. Yazid narrated this tradition to me from Abu Idris on the authority of ‘Uqbah b. ‘Amir.
Allah speaks Hebrew
Allah is a polyglot; there should not be any doubt on this. The Qur’an attests this truth. Allah sent the Qur’an in Arabic because Muhammad was an Arab. Ibn Sa’d writes that Abraham’s son Ismai’l was the first person to speak Arabic. So Allah started speaking Arabic since this time. Before this, the language of the Arabs was Hebrew; so naturally, Allah spoke Hebrew during that period. If we extend this logic then we might say: during Jesus’ time Allah must had spoken Syriac–Aramaic, because that was the tongue of Jesus’ people. Then when Allah sent Muhammad as His Messenger Allah again started to speak Arabic. Is it funny that Allah frequently changes His native tongue?
Let us read the interesting passage from the Sirah (biography of Muhammad).
Isma’l Ibn ‘Abd Allah Ibn Abu Uways al–Madani informed us: My father narrated to me on the authority of Abu al–Jarud al-Rabi Ibn Quray’, he on the authority of ‘Uqbah Ibn Bashir that he asked Muhammad Ibn ‘Ali: Who was the first person to talk in Arabic? He said: Isma’il Ibn Ibrahim, may Allah bless them: when he was thirteen years old. He (Uqbah) said: O Abu Ja’far what was the language of the people before that? He said: Hebrew. He (’Uqbah) said: In what language did Allah reveal his message to His apostles in those days? He said: In Hebrew (ibn Sa’d, vol I, p . 43).
Dajjal is one-eyed, Allah is not (Allah has two eyes)
Allah is very meticulous about his appearance. When Muhammad learned that Dajjal (anti–Christ) has one eye, he was perturbed as to the number of eyes of Allah. But, as we saw before, that Allah, in all its physical appearances looks just like a human being, Muhammad assured his followers that unlike the Dajjal, Allah has two eyes.
Let us read these ahadith to picture a true countenance of Allah.
Dajjal is one eyed, Allah is not...(Sahih Bukhari, 4.55.554)
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 554:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Shall I not tell you about the Dajjal a story of which no prophet told his nation? The Dajjall is one-eyed and will bring with him what will resemble Hell and Paradise, and what he will call Paradise will be actually Hell; so I warn you (against him) as Noah warned his nation against him."
The Dajjal is one eyed but Allah is not one-eyed. Between Dajjal’s eyes will be written “Kafir”… (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 3.37.4302)
Sunaan Abu Dawud, Vol. III, Hadith Number 4302
Anas b. Malik reported the Prophet (may peace be upon him) as saying: No prophet was sent who had not warned his people about one eyed liar. Beware! He will be one–eyed, but your Lord the Exalted, is not one–eyed. Between his eyes will be written “Infidel” (Kafir).
Allah’s eyes are not like two floating grapes; Dajjal’s eyes are
Please read the following ahadith to imagine how Allah might look.
The Raja (anti-Christ) is short, hen toed, woolly haired, one eyed, an eye sightless and neither protruding nor deep-seated. Allah is not one eyed… (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 37.4306)
Book 37, Number 4306:
Narrated Ubadah ibn as-Samit: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: I have told you so much about the Dajjal (Antichrist) that I am afraid you may not understand. The Antichrist is short, hen-toed, woolly-haired, one-eyed, an eye-sightless, and neither protruding nor deep-seated. If you are confused about him, know that your Lord is not one-eyed.
Ad-Dajjal is blind in the right eye. But Allah is not one eyed, he is not hidden from you… (Sahih Bukhari, 9. 93.504)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 504:
Narrated 'Abdullah: Ad-Dajjal was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet. The Prophet said, "Allah is not hidden from you; He is not one eyed," and pointed with his hand towards his eye, adding, "While Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal is blind in the right eye and his eye looks like a protruding grape."
Allah is not one eyed and Dajjal is blind of the right eye and his eye is like a floating grape…(Sahih Muslim, 41.7005)
Book 041, Number 7005:
Ibn Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). made a mention of Dajjil in the presence of the people and said: Allah is not one eyed and behold that Dajjal is blind of the right eye and his eye would be like a floating grape.
Allah is not hidden from us; He is fire; worship Him if you do not want to be touched by fire
We read before that Allah is a fire. In the hadith, quoted below Allah approves fire worshipping, since He is fire.
If you do not want to be touched by fire then: worship Allah, never associate anything with Allah, establish prayer, pay zakat and do good to your kin…(Sahih Muslim, 1.13, 14, 15, 16)
Book 001, Number 0013:
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Ayyub that a man came to the Prophet (may peace be upon him) and said: Direct me to a deed which draws me near to Paradise and takes me away from the Fire (of Hell). Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: You worship Allah and never associate anything with Him, establish prayer, and pay Zakat, and do good to your kin. When he turned his back, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) remarked: If he adheres to what he has been ordered to do, he would enter Paradise.
Allah has a sleepless-face, he does not sleep; He likes insomniacs
The Qur’an recommends Muslims to sleep as little as possible, and to devote the major part of the night in prayer and supplicating to Allah. Allah is not at all concerned that His slaves might be afflicted with insomnia which will lead to ill health. The early morning cacophony of prayer call even exhorts that prayer is better than a sound sleep. Here are two verses from the Qur’an which encourages Muslims to forgo sound sleep at night.
The true believers sleep very little at night…51:17
051.017
YUSUFALI: They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,
Allah loves those who seek forgiveness during the last hour of night…51:18
051.018
YUSUFALI: And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness;
Why Allah does not encourage His slaves to have a sound sleep at night? The answer is quite simple: Allah does not sleep at night, so He does not want the Muslims to sleep at night—or sleep as little as possible.
Here is a hadith from Sahih Muslim which tells us that one of the five attributes of Allah is that He does not sleep either at night or during the day. Naturally, this means that Allah has a sleepless face.
Another hadith in Sunaan ibn Majah reveals that Allah does not sleep.
Let us read these two interesting ahadith.
One of the five attributes of Allah is that He does not sleep…(Sahih Muslim, 1.0343)
Book 001, Number 0343:
Abu Musa reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was standing amongst us and he told us five things. He said: Verily the Exalted and Mighty God does not sleep, and it does not befit Him to sleep. He lowers the scale and lifts it. The deeds in the night are taken up to Him before the deeds of the day and the deeds of the day before the deeds of the night. His veil is the light. In the hadith narrated by Abu Bakr (instead of the word" light") it is fire. If he withdraws it (the veil), the splendour of His countenance would consume His creation so far as His sight reaches.
Allah does not sleep… (Sunaan Ibn Majah, 1.195).</P
Sunaan Ibn Majah, Vol. I, Hadith Number 195
Abu Musa (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have said, “Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) got up amongst us (to address us) regarding four things. He said, “Verily, Allah sleeps not; nor does it behove Him to sleep. He lowers the scales and raises them. The deed (done during) the night is presented to him before the deed of the day and (so is presented) a deed of the day before the deed of night. His veil is the Light. If He would remove it, the august splendour of Allah’s Countenance would burn everything of His creation to which His Glance reaches.
Modern day Islamic scholars, such as Drs Hilali and Muhsin Khan quoting Fath al–Bari states that Allah neither sleeps nor eats (Hilali and Khan, 1996, p. 142).
Imam Ghazali, the most respected and trusted Islamic scholar wrote Ihya Ulum Ed-Din to propagate the glory of Allah and the methods by which a devoted Muslim could be close to Allah. Many Muslims even consider this book as second only to the Qur’an. Imam Ghazali postulated that a true believer must get used to sleepless nights. He said that the surest approach to reach the nearness of Allah is not to sleep at night or to sleep very little. Here are a few excerpts from this celebrity of Islam. (Ghazali, Tr. Fazl ul Karim, 1993, vols. ii, iii and iv).
The weapons to fight passion are: 1. to eat little 2. to sleep little 3. to speak when necessary 4. to keep patience at the trouble of people. (Ghazali, vol. iii, p 59) The fort of religion has four walls viz: 1. solitude 2. silence 3. hunger 4. sleeplessness. These four walls prevent the devil from entering the fort. (Ghazali, vol. iii, p 67). Sleeplessness makes the heart bright, pure and radiant. (ibid)
Allah loves three types of men: 1. one who sleeps little 2. one who eats little 3. one who takes little rest. (Ghazali, vol. iii, p 71)
If anyone seeks Paradise, he should not sleep at night; he who fears God takes rest at dawn. (Ghazali, vol. iv, p 353)
Ali said, “The signs of religious men are the following: their color turn yellow as an effect of passing sleepless nights, their eyes turn yellow as an effect of shedding tears, their lips become dry as an effect of fasting and the signs of God-fearing people appear on them.” (Ghazali, vol.iv, 354)
Imam Ghazali even describes how a believer should lie down to sleep to reach Allah. Here are Ghazali’s specifications of sleeping positions for the pious Muslims. (Ghazali, vol. ii, p 20).
To lie with belly up is to sleep like the prophets. To sleep on the right side is the sleep of the worshippers. To sleep on the left side is the sleep of the rulers. To sleep with face down is the sleep of the devil.
Imam Ghazali is completely correct on the virtues of sleepless nights for the Muslims. His idea is in full conformity with the Qur’an as explicated above.
Allah’s countenance will be visible as clearly as the sun or the moon
Here are a few ahadith where Muhammad guarantees that people will see Allah’s countenance just like they see the moon on a cloudless sky.
People will see Allah in His own form on the resurrection day just the way they see the sun and the moon on a clear day; the Christians and the Jews will be sent to hell (long hadith)…(Sahih Muslim, 1.0349, 0352)
You will see Allah like you see the full moon… (Sahih Muslim, <A href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/004.smt.html" mce_href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/004.smt.html"4.1322, 1323)
Allah will show His face only after your death
Challenged by the pagans, Muhammad was quick to realise his folly in attempting to describe his version of Allah which he could never let them see or observe. So, his ruse was very simple. Exasperated, dispirited, Allah ruefully told the pagan Meccans that people will see Allah after their death. Mind you, Muhammad had already confirmed that Allah will not meet the non Muslims, He will show His face only to those who convert to Islam or born into it.
Here is a hadith which says none will be able to see Allah until one dies (very long hadith)… (Sahih Muslim, 41.7000)
And here is a Qur’anic verse which tells Allah will veil Himself from the unbelievers and only the believers will see His countenance…83:15
Allah will veil Himself (i.e., He will not show His face) from the unbelievers on the resurrection day); only the believers will see the face of Allah…83:14–15

Almost every single Christian is going to hell according to the Bible:
Deuteronomy 22:22 "If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die."
But here comes the part that will cause most Christians of today to go to Hell:
Matthew 19:9 "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
You might think you're going to Heaven when you're not! :-"

I am very grateful for the believer and or Sucker(muslim) that posted these comments; very sad yet very amusing. So let me understand you, in fact, the quran definitionaly has "abrogations" which means changes as well as contradictions that I am sure you are aware of. They are a result of the shift in Moe’s life that occurred when he moved from mecca to the medina. the peaceful passages are meccan, like there is in compulsion in religion, and the violent passages are medinaian, like fight Christians and Jews, pagans and atheist: basically every body else. If you think (and however erroneous your info maybe) that original religions ( Judaism and Christianity) have similar problems as your religion; (abrogation and contradictions, then why do point it out. Don’t you know that by making this accusation you are admitting fault as well. Since you believe ( however erroneously) that there is something wrong with the original religions, and since the same situation occurs in islam, then you must also ( if you are logical) recognize that there is something wrong with islam. I am not inviting you to Christianity, not at all. I am telling you, why not defect from Islam “since there is something wrong with it, which you mistakenly pointed out in the course of criticizing the original religions" and leave these three religions all together. Second of all, you just got islam the death Let me clarify myself. Jew’s can criticize Christians. Christians can’t criticize Jews “ because Judaism came first” Jews and Christians can criticize islam because they are the original religions. Muslims can not whim a peep( if they are intelligent) about the original religions because they came before islam. If there is any thing is wrong with the original religions then god can not be trusted, and all Muslims that believe there is something wrong with the original religions should stop being muslims immediately.

The words of the original religion (Islam) are perfect; however the bible is the work of Paul and has nothing to do with the true religion of God. The original teaching of God was called the Injil, the Injil was not a physical book but simply a set of teachings. The word Injil is used in the Qur'an, the Hadith, and early Muslim documents to refer specifically to the revelations made by God to Isa, and are used by both Muslims and some Arabic-speaking Christians today. The contradictions in the bible have nothing to do with God, obviously the bible is a man made book and the fact that the Quran has abrogation’s only proves that it was perfected by God. Why was this verse of bible not abrogated...."Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses." (Ezekiel 23: 20-21)
"and lusted after her paramours there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose emission was like that of stallions." (Ezekiel 23: 21, NRSV)
That verse was banned in South Africa (A Christian country) why was pornography allowed in your bible???? ABORAGA

Quran and Bible compared :.....[Quran17:33] "You shall not kill any person - for GOD has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. ....."
What does bible say:....."Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." (Psalm 137:9, KJV) "Happy the man who shall seize and smash your little ones against the rock!" (Psalm 137:9, New American Bible) "a blessing on anyone who seizes your babies and shatters them against a rock!" (Psalm 137:9, Jerusalem Bible)

Matthew 27 (New International Version)
51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. 52The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
Michelle, I mean Michael, Why is this event not only unrecorded in history, but it is not even recorded in other parts of the bible.

Eat Your Children
"And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD they God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straightness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:" (Deuteronomy 28:53)
"And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates." (Deuteronomy 28:57)
Comment
Here we have the horrific calling for cannibalism. It comes even more barbaric considering it calls for the devouring of their own sons and daughters.

Is it justifiable for Muslims to quote the Bible or quote from it?
There appears to be two common and extreme misconceptions about the Muslims’ attitudes towards the Bible:
a) that Muslims base their faith in full or in part on the Bible;
b) that Muslims reject the Bible in toto and accept no single word of it.
For Muslims the Qur'an is the last but not the only holy book revealed by Allah to mankind through His messengers. It is, however, the only holy book which remained intact from the time of its revelation until the present time. Not only is the full text of the Qur'an available, but it is also available in the full and exact form as uttered by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) at the time of its revelation and in the original language in which it was revealed (Arabic). No addition, deletion, or interpolation found its way into the Qur'an. For Muslims, the Qur'an is the only remaining authoritative and authentic revelation available to mankind; authoritative because an objective study of the Qur'an clearly shows its divine origin; and authentic because of the conclusive evidence that it remained intact and was transmitted to us as it was revealed without being mixed with human and philosophical ideas and doctrines. As such, Muslims do not need any other scriptures to base their faith on, either in full or in part.
On the other hand, it is erroneous to think that Muslims reject the Bible in toto and do not accept a single passage of it. There are at least two reasons for this:
a) One of the main articles of faith in Islam is the belief in all prophets and messengers sent before the advent of the last of them, Prophet Muhammad. This also necessitates believing in the holy books revealed to those prophets in the original forms of their revelation;
b) According to the Qur'an all prophets were Muslims (i.e. those who consciously and lovingly submitted to the will of Allah), what they taught was nothing but earlier versions of Islam (conscious and loving submission to Allah) and their sincere followers were Muslims as well. The fact that the transmission of earlier revelations, prior to the Qur'an suffered from inaccuracies and misinterpretations does not justify a total and categorical rejection of such scriptures. There are bound to be some passages and portions of the Bible whose essence, if not wording, need not be rejected by Muslims.
Criterion of Acceptance
What is the Muslim basis or criterion for accepting or not accepting portions or passages from the Bible? The Qur'an itself provides such criterion:
"And unto you have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watch over it .... " The Holy Qur'an , Chapter 5 , Verse 48
This emphasizes two main aspects of the Qur'an:
a) The Qur'an confirms those teachings or passages of previous scriptures which remained intact.
b) The Qur'an is the last, complete, authoritative and authentic revelation. It is the final arbiter and the only criterion to correct any inaccuracy or misinterpretation which might have occurred in the transmission of scriptures. It helps in discovering human additions to or interpolations of previous revelations, even as it reveals possible deletions which might have taken place through the centuries prior to its revelation (the Qur'an). Indeed one of the names of the Qur'an is al-Furqan (the criterion which distinguishes between right and wrong, truth and falsehood).
It follows therefore that a Muslim has no reason to reject the essence of any passage in the Bible if such a passage is confirmed by the Qur'an. For example, we read in the New Testament a reiteration of one of the Ten Commandments:
"And Jesus answered him. The first of all commandments is hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord" (Mark 12:29)
A Muslim who reads this passage in the Qur'an can find no objection to its essence. After all the Qur'an confirms:
"Say He is Allah, the One and Only (God)" The Holy Qur'an , Chapter 112 , Verse 1
If, however, a Muslim reads in the Bible (or other previous scriptures for that matter) accusations of major moral sins levied against great prophets or doctrines which are totally negated in the Qur'an, the Muslim accepts only the Qur'anic version as the original unadulterated truth, revealed by Allah (God). Likewise if the Bible (or other scriptures) contains apparent prophecies about the advent of Prophet Muhammad, and if the Qur'an confirms that fact, then there is nothing unusual or objectionable in referring to such prophecies.
The Earlier Revelations
The Qur'an confirms that there were revelations given to different people before the Qur'an. This is sometimes taken to mean that the Muslims believe in the Bible as it exists today. however, the Qur'an nevermentions the word "Bible". It always speaks of what was revealed to earlier Prophets.
"And who believe in that which is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) and that which was revealed before thee, and are certain of the Hereafter." The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 2 , Verse 4
And not their corrupted versions written by theologians, historians, unknown writers, etc.
The Qur'an speaks of:
TAWRAT: (Revelation to Musa or Moses)
This is not equivalent to the "Torah" (Law) of the present Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). The latter is attributed to Moses, but it contains information that could not have been written by Moses. For example, Deut. 1:1-5, and Deut. 34:5-7 Moses...died there in the land of Moab..Moses was 120 years old when he died.." It goes on to descibe his burial and the weeping of the people. The reasonable mind would be baffled as to how Moses could have written his own obituary. No wonder Jeremiah 8.8 says "...the false pen of the scribes has turned it (the Law) into a lie."
ZABUR (Revelation to Dawood/David)
This also is not equivalent to the Psalms of David in the Bible. Bible authorities attest that the "Psalms of David" had many authors (New International Version Bible Guide page G13, "Psalms"). Moreover the Psalms contain information which the Muslims at least consider to be blasphemous (e.g. Ps. 78:65 "God behaved like one drunk with wine").
INJIL (Revelation to Isa/Jesus)
The Injil mentioned in the Qur'an refers to what Allah revealed to Prophet Jesus (pbuh). It does not refer to accounts of Jesus' life and teachings as related by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Qur'an only mentions Injil (gospel), not Anajil (gospels). The whole of the New Testament was written long after Jesus' Ministry therefore it (as a whole) was not revealed to him, nor did he see or sanction it.
This does not mean however, that Islam rejects the Bible completely. The Qur'an confirms basic truths that are still so discernable in the Bible, but not its time-bound legislation or present text. Also the Qur'an not only confirms some parts of what remains of the earlier scriptures but determines what is true in them, while denying what is not true.
And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it. So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires away from the truth which hath come unto thee. For each We have appointed a divine law and a traced out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given you (He hath made you as ye are). So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ. The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 5 , Verse 48.
For example, the preserved basic teaching of the Prophets on the oneness of Allah as evident in Deutronomy 6:4 and Mark 12:29. In addition Allah specifically mentions in The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 21 , Verse 105 that
"Before this We wrote in the Psalms, after the message (given to Moses): My servants, the righteous, shall inherit the earth."
This particular statement is found word for word in Psalms 37:29. Those aforementioned examples could constitute what the Qur'an refers to as remnants of the earlier revelations.

I can't believe someone would waste his time on this propaganda. Why is it always the same deal the believers; everyone’s feces stink but mine. No matter what, illogical factious stories mount up to nothing. Trying to mislead the less educated is just sad. In the future try applying some time to “submission” and then after you have defected from submision try me out again. The original religions will always be original. The fight against the people of the book religion will always be the fight against the people of the book religion. on othe reason to exist.
