Without bragging, this site, mostly concerned with comparative religion, is one of the most advanced reads a person will ever meet on this topic. While other sites may deal with benign surface features (I’m talking mostly about comparative religion), this site goes beyond the normal range and gets into some very good and heavily detailed, though controversial, topics. For example, the NON-CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS (pbh) has been detailed on this website featuring many different angles on that topic and which has been successfully intertwined with other related topics to present a more truthful picture of real history instead of the old mumbo-jumbo of manufactured untruths.
Furthermore, when these ‘facts’ are taken into context together with the development of religion by unscrupulous people, people are free to see in many cases, how, where, when and why people have corrupted their religion. In addition to this, NO comparative religious site of any religion has actually been able to go so deeply into showing that there is only ONE GOD and ONE WAY, i.e. , showing a ‘Divine Unity’ down through the ages up to and including the three Abrahamic Faiths. Jewish sites can’t do it, Christian sites can’t do it but this site, blessed by the ONE GOD, has done it!
Proof – Imagine a Jewish site raving about the New Testament and then proclaiming, “We should go that route because our last great leader – Prophet Jesus (pbh) was a spokesman of our LORD. Imagine a Christian site proclaiming that we have to follow the Law but most importantly we must honor our LORD and follow the last of the Prophets, Prophet Muhammad (pbh) because following him allows us to realize that Divine Revelation is from our LORD to anyone WHOM HE PLEASES and our way is to submit to HIM in following the Law and honor that what HE HAS SENT.
So, I don’t see any of those sites doing this. What I see is that those sites feel the need to declare a ‘territorial god’ who smiles mostly on their philosophies – real or imagined. This is the philosophy of EXCLUSION RATHER THAN INCLUSION and that philosophy just doesn’t hold water when discussing a ‘UNIVERSAL GOD’!
This site has opened up a new world when discussing certain things and that includes the Non-Crucifixion of Jesus the son of Mary (pbh) while pushing the envelope of understanding as far as it will go – up to this point! So, I want to return to a quandary and an ethereal approach to the Non-Crucifixion.
Just when a person expects there is nothing new to be added to this topic, something always appears to slip in. First, the Quran has expressed several things which can be understood as something that will be out of the ordinary. That is that the concept of not being on the cross and of course not dying will take the two (Jews and Christians) aback and cause them consternation. But it is NOT ONLY THE QURAN DOING THIS! Paul did it in his now famous declaration concerning the Jews and the Greeks (Christians)!
From the very first article on this website: Islam and the Rise and Fall of the Teachings of Jesus
“But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a Stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks Foolishness. 1Cor. (1: 23)
Modern day Christianity takes great pride in the physical crucifixion of Jesus (pbh). But the ones who are most enthusiastic about it and heap words of praise and glory over it for a centerpiece of glorification and total redemption are the Evangelicals or born again type Christians. No words of praise are too small to highlight the so-called crucifixion death and resurrection of Jesus (pbh). Yet Paul’s words about the crucifixion are words of scorn and not praise unless one considers the words STUMBLINGBLOCK AND FOOLISHNESS praise.
The ‘we’ in the above verse is natural because in biblical terminology from the Old Testament to the New Testament, one must crucify the lust in one’s heart from following willful desires so as to abandon falsehood to enter into the Way by following the teachings given by the prophets and not the ‘false wisdom’ of the world. Hence, in the case of Jesus (pbh) in showing the Way, one must carry one’s own cross and submit and surrender to God’s Will in peace and assuredness as he tells his followers to do and which is recorded in the New Testament. Therefore, the call is for everyone to carry one’s own cross in fighting the delusions of worldly belief and selfish, false desires. Hence, every true believer must be crucified!
The Jews have claimed the falsehood of Jesus’ Messianic mission and look for another Messiah because being crucified meant to them that he was false and therefore it became to them a STUMBLINGBLOCK. To the ‘Greeks’ as can be seen in the Greek invasion story, it was a chance to build onto a corrupt philosophy and to invent a scenario that resembles more like unto the pagan philosophy of old. Hence the term FOOLISHNESS and the real meaning of ‘the end is at hand’ becomes apparent.”
That they rejected Faith: that they uttered against Mary a grave, false charge.
That they said (by way of bragging), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of ALLAH” – but they killed him NOT, NOR {did they} crucify him. But so did it appear unto them {that they did}. And those who differ therein are full of doubts, with NO (certain) {provable} knowledge but ONLY CONJECTURE to follow. Definitely, they killed him not! Q (4: 156-157)
Paul, being a Jew but a Jew under ‘THE WAY’, could easily speak about the Jews being put in a difficult position and the choices that would ‘haunt them’ in the future but being long dead before one gets to the real ‘Christian’ era under way as to being a firmly established power is yet another form of agreement with Islam. Paul is predicting problems for the Jews and ‘Greeks’ on this crucifixion idea and the Quran supports this evidence by giving those who dispute the Quran being a DIVINELY PROTECTED BOOK CONTAINING PURE UNADULTERATED HAPPENINGS AND CORRECT THOUGHT as those who are studiers of their respected philosophies (not the common, naive religious attendant) are in grave doubt about this issue when all the facts are presented.
Moreover, historical-wise, because the official acceptance as doctrine of the crucifixion occurred with Justin Martyr’s research around 148 AC, shows there must have been very lively belief patterns on this topic (showing the grave doubt) for a long time or the time evolved from the start of Jesus’ Passion to the need for the ‘final qualifying research’ about this topic.
All that we are given is that, yes there was a crucifixion of several people on that fateful day and that everybody that witnessed it, would have sworn with their senses that one Jesus of Nazareth was not only present but also he was crucified and killed.
One thing that makes Jesus the son of Mary (pbh) such a dynamic personage is the fact he ended up doing the impossible but such things can be applied to other awesome miracles especially when people depend upon their LORD. Such miracles as the tossing of Abraham (pbh) into the harsh, burning fire and it becomes cool for him or Moses (pbh) parting of the sea or Muhammad (pbh) splitting the Moon in half.
Anyway, Paul and the Quran once again come together showing a unified pathway when it is understood.
Another approach to this awesome but little understood subject is a legitimate one but one that is highly controversial and dangerous. At first, it appears to be magical but when understood, it can be approached in a ‘comparative religious’ sort of way. What I’m referring to would be the records of humans and time-wise occurrences that are NOT kept on Earth but on a level in the heavens as discussed by Prophet Muhammad (pbh). This is the ‘writing of the Pens’.
Of course, it is a dangerous topic due to people with fraudulent behavior and illegitimate as well as nefarious plans. So, let me stress that all that I know about the topic can come from comparative religion as in looking at Hinduism, the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Quran as they seem to very briefly touch on the subject of ‘certain records’ kept in the sky. I might also add that it is my personal opinion that less than one in several hundred million people can actually read something of those records but that they will NOT BE PERFECT IN THE UNDERSTANDING OR INTERPRETATION OF THEM. Therefore, to be on the safe side instead of wondering off the true pathway, we know such records exist but there is no need to overly dwell on that matter.
Just for the record, what are these records and what relationship would they have on whether Jesus (pbh) was crucified or not? These records are called akashic from the Sanskrit language (akasha) and deal with a kind of film of life and other events as a form of records – for our purposes these records mean that people can’t and won’t be allowed to ‘get away with anything’ and try and fool the ONE GOD about what was done and the reasons for it being done. These records are supposed to form parts of the Book of Life discussed in the Old and New Testaments as well as the Quran.
For example: And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened and another book was opened, which was the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works {intentions, reality, reasons and expressions behind such actions}. Rev. (20: 12)
For they used not to look for any account (for their deeds)
But they (impudently) treated OUR Signs as false
And ALL THINGS have WE Preserved on a record. Q (78: 27-29)
A chilling thought no doubt such that we won’t be allowed to ‘bend the rules’ to our favor – not one jot!!!
Anyway, the interpretation of these records will not be in the hands of men so let’s get that out of the way. I believe that these records will show, exactly what the PURE QURAN has already told us. That is, that if we could see those records, we would see WHAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE JESUS BEING CRUCIFIED (PUT ON THE CROSS) AND THEN KILLED AND OF COURSE A LIFELESS FORM BEING TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS.
However, BUT SO DID IT APPEARED UNTO THEM, and so would it appear unto us but not being one-dimensional or outright thoughtless in behavior, the real Muslim has to put his trust in the LORD and ALLAH has declared that Jesus (pbh) was NOT put on the cross and NOT killed!!!
These records (akashic) being discussed throughout various religious expressions (religious movements) are yet another key in knowing that ‘THERE IS NO god BUT THE ONE UNIVERSAL GOD (ALLAH) WHO IS NOT OWNED BY ANYONE PEOPLES BUT HE IS THE ONE WHO OWNS AND IS AWARE OF ALL THINGS.
Wow! Comparative Religion can shake up people and put them in a corner. And if it is in their own souls to realize this (that self centered ego better known as selfishness is very destructive to the advancement of the soul), they can have as their expression Truth, showing that their free will is opening up to being led by the Spirit for accepting Divine Guidance.
Now, I believe it is a lot easier for Jews and Christians if the mind is willing to understand, in part, the saying found in the New Testament that proves that no man or human being would be given power over Jesus the son of Mary in that no man would be allowed to kill him and that as a truly excellent example to man, he did FOLLOW THE LAW TO THE LETTER AND THAT LAW STATES THAT IT IS AN EVIL THING TO COMMITT SUICIDE. Therefore, we are left with strong and non-contradictory evidence showing the Reality of Truth versus the vagaries of religious misconceptions/and malformed practices arising from the corruption of pure religious thoughts!
Without doubt then, Jesus (pbh) was NOT killed by any earthly human being or group of human beings and he most definitely did NOT commit suicide. So, we should know that what happened to him in specific terms will be known when he returns but until then, the logic must proclaim that Jesus the son of Mary (pbh) was neither on the cross nor did he die a physical death.
Think not that I {Jesus} am come to destroy the law, or the {unity of} the prophets: I am NOT come to destroy {or take anything away} BUT TO FULFILL {in its completeness}.
For verily I say unto you, until heaven and earth pass {away} NOT one jot or one title shall in no wise pass {away} from the law, until everything be fulfilled. Matthew (5: 17-18)
No man takes it {my life} from me, but {it is} I {who} lay it down by myself. I have {been given the} power to lay it down, and {furthermore} I have {been given the} power to take it {up} again. This COMMANDMENT {GIFT} I have received from my FATHER. John (10: 18)
Yet another big problem with scriptures is in trying to understand them WHILE at the same time choosing the Practical over the Esoteric. The Esoteric or ‘covered knowledge’ is very deceptive and should not be depended upon as a first line of defense of the truth. The common-type of devotion, sayings and doings form the backbone of any religion as these practices have been put in place in order to elevate the soul and train the body so to speak.
We do have warnings about this (if people want to pay attention to them) and we know by lots of personal experiences that these common-type of devotions are the meat that holds the belief and strength of belief together. The esoteric way ‘lights people up’ even when they don’t really understand what is going on but it seems so out-of-this world. In other words, a fanciful approach to religion through drugs or esoteric thought may appeal to some. This is likened to one who would like to jump off a 60 story building and see if he can fly. My advice is NOT TO DO IT!
Some people before you did ask such questions, and on account {of this} lost their faith. Q (5: 102)
HE it is WHO has sent down to you the Book; in it are verses Basic and Fundamental which are clear (in meaning). They are the FOUNDATION of the Book: others are not entirely clear but those in whose hearts is PERVERSITY follow that part thereof that is NOT entirely clear while seeking DISCORD and searching for its interpretation. But no one knows its true meaning except ALLAH and those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: “We believe in it {the Book}, the whole of it is from our LORD:” and none will grasp the Message {therein} except men of understanding. Q (3: 7)
But in a basic sense we can see the different roads even if we only travel down one of them. The practical road speaks of Jesus (pbh) as overcoming ‘death’ or rising from the dead. That he did and it is exactly like what was told to Muhammad (pbh) when he was told that he could NOT MAKE THE DEAD TO HEAR. What is this type of DEATH?
This type of DEATH is the death of a person who lives in the world, deaf, dumb and blind refusing any sense of real salvation and is totally unreachable through reason or any other method! And both the Quran and the New Testament verify this!!! Therefore, Jesus (pbh) did rise from the dead although those who were dead were very much physically alive! (Or as one of my friends calls it – ‘brain dead’ X with X being the name of the so-called worshiper’s religion)
What is going on here? Is this a joke or a game being played on us? Well, to what might be called a pompous, hard-headed and hard-hearted individual, I suppose at first glance that it might be but only think now!
Man is a splendid creation (created by GOD’s OWN HANDS) though being quite impatient and what he has put forward that will he get back in true justice with a huge emphasis on Mercy adding that much of the increase. So the understanding here is that man has to understand that GOD exists and that there will be consequences to pay in life and that it would be better for him to develop somewhat of a God-consciousness in order to understand his own relationship to the ONE GOD.
So in seeing and cross-checking the meaning of ‘DEATH’, look at death in a different light. In doing so, we can see how Jesus (pbh) rose from the DEAD without physically dying and how Prophet Muhammad (pbh) could not make the dead to hear!
Some people may be angry and hurt by these things as they might have expected something else. But putting one’s trust in THE ONE GOD is not just a phrase but is an actual doing and a rewarding chore and HE declared point blank why things are the way they are. He didn’t declare that HE would open this understanding before the Last Day of Judgment. Indeed, HE declares several times in the Quran that when the ‘various factions’ are raised up HE will show the people about the things that they differed upon and man is truly responsible for his own actions.
Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because of the things your hands have wrought {sent forward} and for many (a sin) HE grants forgiveness. Q (42: 30)
As to the saying:
Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes unto the FATHER, but by me. John (14: 6); I totally agree with this statement as to its importance on many fronts. However, once again we have something esoteric and if the statement is true, chances are we will find it in the Quran. And find it we do but it requires quite a bit of thinking to match these two expressions.
And behold! ALLAH will say, “O Jesus the son of Mary, did you say to men take me and my mother for two gods besides ALLAH?” He {Jesus} will say, “Glory to YOU! Never could I say what I had (no right) to say. Had I said such a thing, YOU would indeed have known it. YOU know what is in my heart though I do NOT know what is in YOUR HEART, for YOU KNOWEST ALL THAT IS HIDDEN. Q (5: 116)
Many things can be said of the above verses but know that they are dependent upon the ‘dynamic’ soul of the Messiah, his job and its completion. Therefore, the Messiah Jesus the son of Mary (pbh) is a major figure for salvation under ALLAH’s PLAN and with HIS PERMISSION.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold {Ummah}: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there {in the end} shall be one fold {Ummah} and one shepherd {appointed leader}. John (10: 16)
In the end, we must know that ONLY ALLAH is the AUTHOR of SALVATION but HE is NOT the representative of it nor is HE the representative of how to correctly pray or eat food. FAR, FAR IS HE ABOVE THE COMPREHENSION OF THE MINDS OF MEN!
So salvation as a physical force would be given to the Angels if Angels populated the earth while walking around needing salvation which they don’t but it is man and through men that we are given THE WAY. And to bring that ‘unifying force’ for the good or salvation into the heavens on the Day of Resurrection whereby it now becomes the job of Prophet Muhammad (pbh) to ‘aid’ mankind WITH ALLAH’s PERMISION ONLY from falling into the pit of perdition. For mankind will go to Muhammad (pbh) on that Day, when the Sun draws close and when the WRATH of ALLAH is SO GREAT, seeking a means to enter PARADISE and avoid the all consuming Flames.
But see the Quran as giving to ALLAH HIS DUE and it is this concept that man must never lose a perspective on such that to ALLAH we owe our successes and excellence and not to our geniusness. Therefore, it is by ALLAH’s PERMISSION ONLY that we could ever rise to such a level as to raise the dead, heal the sick or even crack the moon in half!
A brief look at today’s complex and ever changing world confirms that things are moving at a dynamic pace such that things are being prepared to be put in place (those ‘earth’ (land) changes that will dictate many a desperate activity bringing mankind closer to the brink of self destruction. If it wasn’t for the salvation of those who according to the PROMISE of ALLAH will be saved, truly no flesh would be left alive on this planet called Earth.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not {seen} since the beginning of the world to this {very} time, no, nor ever shall {it} be {seen again}.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elect’s sake {those written in the Book of Life or the Book of Destiny to be granted paradise on earth} those days shall be shortened. Matthew (24: 21-22)
Abu Huraira reported ALLAH’s Messenger (pbh) as saying: “The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A’maq or in Dabiq (Yaqut says, “Dabiq is a village near Aleppo and al-A’maq is a district near the Dabiq between Aleppo and Antioch where as others place these areas near Medina). An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people on the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say, “Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them”; and the Muslims would say, “Nay, by ALLAH, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part of the army) would run away, whom ALLAH will never forgive. A third (part of the army) which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in ALLAH’s eyes, would be killed and the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: “The Dajjal has taken your place among your families. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (pbh) son of Mary would descend and would lead them in prayer. When the enemy of ALLAH would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them (the Dajjal and his group) at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but ALLAH would kill them by his hand and HE would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ). (Sahih Muslim – hadith # 6924- vol. # 4)
With an understanding that this hadith occurs over a period of several years from start to finish (maybe 7 or more years), I think what is starting in the Middle East today is the general deterioration of the Muslim lands and peoples into a helpless mass of mangled mush!
