If we do not understand things completely, and most things are way above our heads anyway, we don’t give up on the worship of our ONE and ONLY LORD.
HE {ALLAH}created everything and destined {for it}its measure. Q (25: 2)
ALLAH had predestined the measures of creatures 50,000 years before HE created the heavens and the earth. The Prophet (pbh) said: “ALLAH had ordained the measures (of quality) of the creation fifty thousand years before HE created the creation.” (Muslim)
The symbols {}are used to bring clarity to the written word.
The importance is The Book and following and understandingthe same.
Its simple meaning {Q (2: 2)}is: “No doubt, this is the Book of Allah”, but it may also imply that this is the Book which contains nothing doubtful. It is not like the common books on metaphysics and religion which are based on mere speculation and guess-work. Therefore even their authors are not free from doubts concerning their own theories, in spite of their assertion that they are positive about them. In contrast to them, this Book {the Quran}is based on the Truth because its Author, Allah, possesses full knowledge of the Reality. Therefore, there is indeed no room for doubt about its contents– from The Meaning of the Quran, vol.1, S. Abul A’la Maududi
One of the greatest of names for ALLAH is AL-‘AZIZ– The ALL-MIGHTY WHO is magnified by ALL things as they must surrenderto HIS DESIRE (Carry out HIS Purpose, Plan, Will). Therefore, one can say that all of creation, what may be perceived as the good of it and the bad of it, the high and the low of it reflects the perfect harmony and its specialpurpose of its being created in a Perfect, Harmonious PLAN reflecting THE GLORY of its CREATOR.
There are so many levels of existence for the living and the non-living things and how these are all intertwined and at the same time relevant to each other’s existence is a miracle in itself not hardly understood by any living entity. So the universe is a ‘cauldron’ of existence that operates with a Perfect built-in and coordinated Plan and THIS PLANNER we call in English, GOD.
The pathway to knowing something of HIM and the ‘Final Success’ as a ‘Gift’ from HIM comes from not in the accumulation of wealth or power but in the bending of the knee or submission to HIS WILLwhich is best stated as to following HIS COMMANDMENTS and GUIDANCE given through the ‘chosen teachers’ (prophets) sent by HIM to enlighten and enrich man for future greatness in the Hereafter.
As ALLAH has chosen HIMSELF above the creation, HE also has chosen HIS Messenger as the ‘Seal’ {of approval}of the brotherhood of the prophets and elevated Islam {the worshiping and following of HIM ALONE} amongst the religions of the world as the chosen pathway for heavenly success.
The thing that keeps reoccurring in these articles is the ‘exclusivity’ of the primary purpose of creation and that is that with ALLAH all things are possible and without HIS Permission nothing can occur, exist or develop.
But you cannot will EXCEPT as HE WILLS. Verily, ALLAH is the ALL-KNOWING, the ALL-WISE. Q (76: 30)
While the Christian may hinge his ‘fate’ on a piece of three dimensional wood (the cross) and the action of other temporal figures, the true Muslim hangs his fate on the only TRUE AND TIMELESS REALITY – ALLAH!
The only one who knows when exactly the Hour arrives or the arrival of the return of the Messiah is ALLAH. However, the correct interpretation of signs allows man to become awareof the approaching turmoilthat must precede the arrival of the ‘true’ Messiah.
And unless those daysshould be shortened, there should no flesh be saved {left alive}; but for the elect’s sake {believers living at the time on the face of the Earth}, those days shall be shortened. Matthew (24:22).
My advice is to be patient and become aware of the knowledge given in the Quran, correct hadith material and chapter 11 in the Book of Daniel. Leave the ‘mystery’ of time to itself but concentrate on coordinating world activities represented in that book to get a brief though fragmentary outlineof events for preparation and/or awakening of the soul is important.
In these multiple articles on this website were covered various things which needed ‘proofs’ such as they are to reinforce the examples given. The greatest declaration of a compilation, in my opinion, as to the Christ-soul comes from Isaiah (pbh) Chapter 53 in the Old Testament or the copper scroll in the Dead Sea Scrolls which virtually amounts to the same thing. But one can’t understand it without a proper orientationespecially in the comprehension of Islam and some really deep thinking.
The Christ-soul is no more than a human entity appointed a task basically of leading by example so as to become that ‘steward’ to head the paradise on Earth from which a fantastic amount of ‘Baraka’ will be bestowed on its members by which this can be carried over on the Last Day of Judgment. And on this Last Day the Books will be opened and the scales for weighing ‘deeds’ will be presented. The heavier the scale of goodness the safer the soul will be from the Fire for the sons of Adam.
According to this author, there are several ‘adam’ types. The first type is the prototypefor man, that is, the form molded into shape and given perfect functioning of the organs as a creation made by THE LORD.
Anas reported Allah’s Messenger (pbh) as saying, “When Allah fashioned Adam in Paradise, He left him as He liked to leave {him}. Then Iblis {Satan}roamed round him to see what actually that was {what type of creation he was}and when he found him hollow from within, he {Iblis}recognized that he had been created with a disposition {such that}he would not have {complete}control over himself. (Muslim)
The second type of adam is the Christ-soul who incarnated (came down from the heavens) around 52,000 or so years ago as one of the leader of lights to develop the ‘mankind’ as described in the Old Testament but who fellfrom his LORD’s GRACE but won out because of his true sincerity and became beloved by ALLAH and dependable as well as worthy of trust.
Then adam learned from his LORD certain words and his LORD turned towards him; for HE is oft returning Most Merciful. Q (2: 37)
The third type of adam is the human race which has been found to be somewhat undependable/untrustworthy and inconsistent.
Say: “It is HE Who has created you, and made for you the faculties of hearing, seeing and understanding: but you are SELDOM GRATEFULL.” Q (67: 23)
WE had already, beforehand, taken the covenant of Adam but he forgot: and WE found on his part no firm resolve. Q (20: 115)
Truly man is to his LORD ungrateful. Q (100: 60)
So, it is a matter of perspectiveconcerning whom we are talking about. The key for discussing this issue is the New Testament or the understanding of such as given in these writings because they give examples that with some patience can be understood. However, don’t comparethe New Testament with the Quran as to written styles or intent of purpose except only in basic instructions like the Sermon on the Mount.
The New Testament is mostly composed of writings from the Presbyters (part time or secondhand witnessesconcerning Jesus. They came to instruct not the Disciples but to what I have called the ‘Initiates’ who were being taught very difficult conceptsto balance out prophecyand the ‘proofs’ of Christ’s legitimacy(hence The Kingdom is at hand) in becoming what seemed like a fairytale story – being hard to believe or things difficult to understand.
This can be seen from some of the troublesome quotes taken from the New Testament.*These quotes DO NOT make Jesus (pbh) out to be more than a man as many have been tricked to believebut they do cause a case of wondering about life itself.
Actually, life takes care of itself and man is directed to the ‘love’ of scripture in praising and worshiping GOD while following the ‘Commandments’ especially two of them which wrap up the laws that should govern our souls but often don’t: Worship but ONE GOD and Love one’s neighbor as one would love oneself.
One can see lots of things fitting together if one applies the ‘knowledge’ given in these writings as to what the New Testament chatter was about. WHAT is WRONGis to go beyond that level and create as it were something new and extraordinary which turns out to be a lieor by some temptation to extrapolate about something that is not trueand thus creating something false that ‘hooks’ some people into following that garbage.
This is very bad because it introduces error for truth and causes others who are ‘weak willed’ to fall to their own destruction – a severe crime that is heavily punished.
As in these articles, enough warning has been given and enough stress has been laid out on the practical living of one’s life in accordance with the Divine Principles of ‘obey the prophets first/obey the Last and Final Messenger Muhammad (pbh) as he made things clear to people who could think correctly. And if possible, don’t get sidetracked on minor issues but if that happens, make sure you don’t get lost in the forest for the trees and that there really is a constructive purpose behind your method besides just plain, curiosity.
According to this author – the idea of those who are called ‘Seers’ – Psychics, Fortunetellers, and Clairvoyants as a type of people who look beyond the known for knowledge:
“This OUR Record speaks about you with truth: for WE were wont to put on record ALL that you did.” Q (45: 29)
These categories are not entirely synonymous but they will have to do. Among the thousands of historically claimed ‘seers’ there may have been only a handful who were not pious frauds or outright tricksters. However, if one does come across this very rare breed, note that their number of successes will also be contrasted with a good deal of their failures. That is partly because they are in NO WAYto be considered a prophet especially due to their ‘character flaws’ and lack of special puritythat the prophets were known to possess and one reason why their body does not decay in the grave.
This category is mentioned due to what was previously written in one of my articles concerning the ‘records in the sky’ and the idea put forth of life being like a movie film that can be played forward and backwardshowing past history and future events. The Hindu religion mentions something about this as well as the Quran and Hadith material.
Because ALLAH knows what is in front of, behind, on the right and the left of man and because the PEN had been busy writing the ‘events to occur’ while the Prophet (pbh) was journeying to the seven levels of heaven but they stoppedwhile the Prophet (pbh) was still in the heavens because they had finished the future, one can say that there are some type of records available which can be ‘played or reviewed’ showing actual events as they have taken place and therefore acting as it were like a truthful record of events from which the ‘liars’ will NOT be able to conceal on the Last Day when the records are opened.
Problems abound with this understanding, however. First, like the blind men with the elephant story what one CLAIMSto ‘see’ can also be interpreted in several different ways. For example, was this a pillar that the blind man was feeling or was it an actual leg of an animal and if so which animal?
Secondly, why is there put a special label of wonder and awe about this happenstance? For example, throughout history NON-SEERS, what most of us would call regular everyday people, have been known once in their lives to ‘see into the future’ and give someone a warning of ‘danger’ and a description of that occurrence THAT HAS NOT YET OCCURRED!
These ordinary type citizens with no claims of future insightshappened by chance to see into the future and this occurred only one timein their life. So, their stories can be verified by survivors. For, example, the Titanic disaster brought out some odd occurrences even beforethat ship sailed and were declared highly authentic in their descriptions!
The end result of all of this is to declare that yes there are records, at least of some sort; one doesn’t need to be a so-called specialist (seer) to experience it; what one ‘sees’, however, can be widely interpretedand like the interpretation of dreams can be a hit or miss proposition; most of the people claiming or braggingabout their so-called spiritual abilities are probably con artists, fools or crooks; smart peopledon’t put their beliefs on something so shaky and un-conventionalas these things but in knowing that certain things exist can help one to feel with greater depth the idea of ‘the PENS that fell silent’ (meaning having somewhat of an understanding and appreciation for an occurrence tied to a religious thought). Also, staying with the known prophets (peace be upon them all) and trying to understand them is far safer and more intelligentthan to drift onto dangerous waters from whence one’s boat might be sunk especially from making false or misleading conclusions!
Understanding of certain things helps to take the ‘darkness’ out while being replaced by light when done in the correct manner, for example, science versus voodoo. The walking dead of the voodoo cult that caused wonders in the distant past can now be explained by the injection of a certain drug into the unfortunate’s body to simulate death for a certain time. The light, however, like one medium sized lightbulb can help light one room but the rest of the massive mansion will still remain relatively dark.
So it is also with the discussions brought about concerning the basic understandings of the New Testament and the original Disciples, the Presbyters and the Initiates together with historical events. It either clicks or it doesn’t. AND THE USE OF KNOWLEDGE IN ORDER TO MAKE A BELIEVER BETTER OR TO TAKE A WAYWORD SOUL CLOSER TO THE TRUTH IS IMPORTANT.
The fundamentalsof any religion, if that religion is to remain stable and more or less like the original teachingsor the basis of the Deen, are far more important than the ‘shock and awe’ of other occurrences. But shining a light on a ‘crooked pathway’ can, ALLAH WILLING, prevent an interested soul from walking around in circles especially when the world is full of massive confusion and disinformation.
Therefore, brothers, stand fast, and hold {to}the traditions{Sunnah}which you have been taught {the correct way of worship}, whether by word or our epistle. 2 Thessalonians (2: 15)
Apparently according to some hadiths, the people forgot a great deal of the importance of this advice especially those in leadership positions who were responsible for ‘handing down the traditions’ and went chasing after other things which caused them to lose their way from the original teachings of Jesus (pbh).
For those, too, who call themselves Christians, WE did take a Covenant, but they forgot a GOOD PART of the Message that was sent to them: So WE stirred up enmity and hatred between one and the other {to fight and squabble amongst themselves as to sects and philosophies}, to the Day of Judgment. And soon will ALLAH show them what it is they have done. Q (5: 14)
Those to whom WE have sent the BOOK study it as it should be studied: They are the ones that believe therein: Those who reject faith therein, the loss is their own. Q (2: 121)
Who was the Christ-soul? Only ALLAH alone knows for surebut in some things we can get an idea. It was a soul on a journey for a purpose that was planned by ALLAH for if it wasn’t planned, then it would not have occurred. This is the correct way to read Isaiah chapter 53 and what we know about the Christ-soul can now make a lot of sense.
However, evidence needs to be provided to back up the assertion that this soul was among others adam, Melchisedec, Yusef (Joseph), Joshua bin Nun the servant boy of Moses (pbh) and finally Jesus and are among the many appearances of this particular being on Earth.
But you, O BethlehemEphrathah, who are little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for ME one who is to be {the future} ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ANCIENT DAYS. Micah (5: 2).
In some respectsit is more correct to say the Christ-soul than to say, for example, Yusef (Joseph) when talking about this composite person.
Why? If the same entity as a boy goes to first grade and then eventually completes his PhD degree is he exactly the same? The same height, weight, personality when he was five years old? Simply put, if the scriptures don’t give us the information, then we only have guesses to go by and that is just not good enoughand so some ‘exactness of knowledge’ will always still allude us.
The most awkward and devastating Gospel that many Christians rely on so much in forming their mistaken notions about Jesus(pbh) is the Gospel of John. I put the Gospels ahead of the Epistles due to their mostly historical sense. However, for some reason, the Gospel of John, partly written by Jesus’ beloved Disciple John with inputs from another John (John the Presbyter or John’s secretary) contains highly sensitive material that can cause a ‘mischievous heart’ to wrongfully fantasize about how a man is god.
It is like those other sad individuals running the terrorist group ISIS who misconstrue verses of the Quran to lawfully commit crimes against humanity – all in the name for the love of their ‘god’. Well, when things are taken out of context by the mischievous heart, a heart bemused by corrupt thinking, only poisonous things can come from it.
And if people are ‘secretly’ attracted to this poison like flies are to the stench of dung, then they are LEDto their own destruction. So, ALLAH is correct to say that HE did not send them to HELL (created them and gave them no chance to find the pathway to paradise) but due to their ‘ancient pledge’ done eons ago, a pledge that the sky and the mountains refused to do, they and they alone are the ones who dogmatically and persistently, even inthe presence of persistent instruction, paved their own pathway with joy to the FIRES OF HELL and ALLAH allowed these disobedient ones the ‘privilege’ of wallowing in their own SELF DESTRUCTION because they found pleasure in unrighteousness as Paul of the New Testament declared as well as the Quran.
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved {they rejected truth when given to them}.
And for this cause GOD shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed NOT the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians (2: 10-12)
“You have met this fate because you rejoicedon the earth in things other than the truth, and then exulted in it.” Q (40:75)
And this is the condemnation, that light {truth}is come into the world {brought to the dead by the prophets that they may awaken men unto life}, and {but most}men loved darkness {falsehoods}rather than light {truth}, because their deeds were evil {and they rejoiced in their evil}. John (3: 19)
That is the power of manas he was likened to a ‘god’ but a foolish one in the Gospel of John: to humble himself to his CREATOR or to be arrogant and try and compete against THE ALL-PERFECT ONE. The word ‘compete’ here means to change the rules as was set up in the beginning as to their creation of souls and how things were to be ordered. Created in the best of molds, could mankind prove his loyalty to his CREATOR or turn his worship on himself?
HE it is WHO made you vicegerentsin the Earth. NOW, whosoever disbelieves shall himself bear the burden of disbelief … Q (35: 39)
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law {Torah}{that}I {GOD}said you are gods {vicegerents – given vast quantities of power}? If HE called them gods {vicegerents}unto whom the Word of GOD came, and the scripture cannot be broken.” John (10: 34-35)
When your LORD drew forth from the children of Adam – from their loins – their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves saying: “Am I not your LORD (Who cherishes and sustains you)?” They said: “Yes, we do testify! “ (This), lest you should say on the Day of Judgment: “Of this we were never mindful.
“Or lest you should say: “Our fathers before us took false gods but we are (their) descendants after them: will YOU then destroy us because of the deeds of men who followed falsehood.” Q (7: 172-173)
And yetin the New Testament the Gospel of John is the Gospel containing the MOST ACCURATE and DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD FOUND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. This description is clear, concise and multi-layered as was described before in one of my articles.
Yusef (Joseph) (pbh) is the Noblest of souls according to Prophet Muhammad (pbh). He was a prophet although not of the Rasul or Nabi kind. He is featured in the Quran in the most beautiful of stories told inside this Holy Book. He had numerous brothers of whom one wanted to kill him outright but in the end he forgave them all. An un-quieting reflection concerning his Disciples is dropped inside of the New Testament from the Gospel of John, no doubt:
You DID NOT choose me, but I CHOSE YOU and appointed youthat you should go and bear fruit, and thatyour fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. (John 15: 16)
“O my LORD! YOU have bestowed upon me some power and taught me something of the interpretation of dreams– O CREATOR of the heavens and the earth! YOU are my PROTECTOR in this world and in the Hereafter. Take my soul (at death) as one submitting to YOUR WILL (as a Muslim) and unite me {as YOU have promised me}with the righteous.” Q (12: 101 – Surah Yusef)
Then we have the prophet Joshua bin Nun (pbh) who was the servant boy to Moses (pbh) and is remembered for a few things including having the Sun stand still for an hour and leading the Children of Israel into the Promised Land. This leading them into the Promised Land was a symbolic gestureof what was to come – leading the people (believers) into the earthly paradise to come.
Joshua (pbh) was not a Rasul type prophet but was a Nabi and as it wonderfully appears was not an odd choice to lead the believers into the Holy Land. There were no peoples called ‘Jews’ AT THAT TIMEso historically the correct thing to say is either the Children of Israel or the believers.
Now one would logically think that the honor would go to Moses (pbh). After all ‘they’ were his people for many, many decades and he had the most difficult of tasks in leading these sometimes unruly people from one place to another. But towards the end of the journey, he was stopped just short of entering into the place of honorfor that job belonged to another (Joshua) by design.
Then of course we get Jesus the son of Mary (pbh). He was a prophet of the highest type being called in Arabic a Rasul. He felt very sadthat many of the Jews rejected him when in fact they should have supported him mightily, as from before he led them into the Holy Land, but a few actually did support him. He did, however, give predictions that went against themon the Last Day of Judgment as they were referred to sadly as the ‘Children of Promise’ while otherswould come from all the points of the compass who were not the Children of Promise and enter into the Kingdom of GOD while they would be shut out.
He also expressed their faithlessness in desiring to follow another but who would be false:
But I know you, that you have NOT the LOVE of GOD in you. I {your master/prophet}am come in my Father’s name {by HIS WILL to do HIS WILL}and you refuse to receive me: {however}if another{master}shall come in his own name{self-glorified and with delusional will like the Anti-christ}, you will {gladly}receive him {and do as he so commands}. {It is so because}how can you {really}believe, which {as a people you}receive honor one of another, while you {refuse to}seek the honor that comes only from GOD. John (5: 42-44)
And way before this time, in the time of father Abraham (pbh), we have a strange character called Melchisedec who somehow plays an important role. Jesus (pbh) declares that he met Abraham (pbh) the friend of GOD where Abraham (pbh) saw his day and was glad. The problem here is that Jews and Christians consider Abraham the father of their religionso why the strange mentioning of this mysterious person about whom the Dead Sea Scrollsgive a much more accurate picture.
Sure he is mysterious and has been made out to be a ‘magical type of entity’ but his story in the Dead Sea Scrolls makes him out to be nothing more than a fortunate and beloved individual of GOD who seems ‘destined’ to accomplish things of greatness.
When one goes into the New Testament Epistle called Hebrews one picks up the notion that this Melchisedec individual is somehow important but in his existence he is someone who would be hard to comprehend but is somehow relevant to the story anyway. In fact, there is actually no need to mention this individual at all except that he seemingly has some mysterious connection to the Messiah Jesus the son of Mary (pbh). But it is put in such a context that those who are teaching will have a difficult time explaining it. My idea, if this is not important to the story then ‘Why Bother’?
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day and he saw it and was glad. Then said the Jews to Jesus; “you are not yet fifty years old and have you seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, “Verily, verily I say to you, before Abraham was {on earth}, I am. John (8: 56-58)
Called by God as High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek,”Of whom we have much to say,and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you {still}need someoneto teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food {as you are not ready for the higher principles of faith}. Hebrews (5: 10-12)
And it is yet far more evident: for that after the SIMLITUDE of Melchisedecthere arise another {type of} priest. Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life {for those who have faith and works as ALLAH has WILLED}For HE {THE POWER THAT RULES}testifies {concerning Jesus HIS Christ (anointed one)}, you are a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Hebrews (7: 14-17)
All of the various prophets received ‘gifts’ from their LORD. This news is essential as well as pertinent to our discussion of why ALLAH loved Jesus (pbh) as well as Prophet Muhammad (pbh). Of course it is NOTessential for a believer to believe in any of this stuff nor is it essential to believe in the Big Bang Theory.
Those Messengers WE endowed with gifts, some above others: To some of them ALLAH spoke; others HE raised to degrees (of honor), to Jesus the son of Mary WE gave Clear (Signs), and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. If ALLAH had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after Clear Signs had come to them but they chose to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If ALLAh had so willed they would not have fought each other; but ALLAH DOES WHAT HE WILLS{for HIS DIVINE PURPOSE}. Q (2: 253)
It is what one does with that knowledge that is important.
Therefore does {ALLAH}my Father love me because I lay down my life that I might take it {up} again. No man{can}take it from me {take away my life}but I lay it down {of my own free will}and also I have {been given}the power to take it {up}again. This commandment {LAW-GIFT}I have received from {ALLAH}my Father. John (10: 17-18
“So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)”!
Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of TRUTHabout which they (vainly) dispute. Q (19: 33-34)
All of the above fits in with the idea given about the Presbyters and the Initiates and the Kingdom is at hand as to how one can approach the critical idea of understanding the New Testament at least for the more than a billion and a half people involved in that religion. The question becomes, “Does GOD control even that?” The answer is “Yes, HE does.” And there is NO compulsion in religion!
So when the time comes that people think that they can outfox GOD and run away from their responsibilitiesthey must think again. Those who have used the New Testament (or any other Scripture) to conquer, degrade others, worship others besides THE ONE, and puff themselves up as so-called ‘true believers’ and the apple of GOD’s eye are in a very precarious position to say the least. And Satan has used their follyagainst them such that he too plays a role in this often sordid affair:
Do not be deceived: For GOD shall not be mocked, for whatever a man sows that shall he reap. Galatians (6: 7)
The New Testament declares that all the previous prophets before the Messiah were looking towards this important event (the winning through of the Messiah) as it was to signal as a Signthe coming of the Kingdom of GOD, first on Earth under the command of the Messiah and then the lasting one in the Heavens. The Sign was important to show that mankind’s journey throughout wars, famines, turmoil, hardships and toils were not going to continue unabated foreverbut that man will overcome the ravages of time and be ‘RAISED UP’ to reach their final goal – Salvation(great for the Believers) or damnation (bad news for the fighters against the Truth and the Prophets or in other words, the disbelievers whose abode would NOT be a pretty one).
And (remember) her {Mary}who guarded her chastity: WE breathed into her of OUR spirit and WE made her and her son {Jesus}a SIGN for ALL PEOPLES. Q (21: 91)
In addition to this, according to the raising up of Shiloh, Genesis (49: 10)and the important verses in Acts of the New Testament,Acts (3: 22-24)and the Gospel of John, John (16: 7-15)will come the knowledge of the Final Way of accepted worship for those who utter praise to the ONE WHO CREATED THEM. Not that other ways were wrong but they DID NOT REMAIN ORIGINALbut were corrupted by the very people who were to guard them.
The Messiah cannot work in a vacuum but must have a ‘set’ of beliefs or a belief pattern that must be followed in his sojourn as the Messiah and even after his death. This belief pattern is ISLAM, which was chosen to be the vehicle brought by ALLAH’s OWN Messenger – Prophet Muhammad (pbh).
Nay, he (Muhammad) has come with the truth {concerning the religion}and he confirms the rightful and truthful Prophets who came before him{who brought ALLAH’s religion to the various peoples.} Q (37: 37)
It is HE {ALLAH}Who has sent HIS Messenger {Muhammad}with GUIDANCE and THE RELIGION OF TRUTH to make it SUPERIOR over ALL religions even though the Mushrikun {polytheists and idolaters}be adverse to it. Q (9:33)
*The following are two examples which have been discussed previously in another article. However, note that without understanding what is actually being said, and let’s be fair about this, especially in relationship to ISLAM, then it is easy to see why some unfortunates declare that ‘if a person doesn’t believe that Jesus is lord-god and savior (while implying that Muhammad (pbh) is false), he will go to hell!
Jesus said unto him {one of his Disciples called Philip}, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man comes to the FATHER but by me. John (14: 6)
I am the true vineand {but my FATHER does the work by HIS WILL – for of myself I can do nothing!}my FATHER is the husbandman. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, HE takes away and every branch that does bear fruit, HE purges it, that it may {yet} bring forth more fruit. John (15: 1-2)
O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of ALLAH aught but the Truth! Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a Messenger of ALLAH, and HIS Word, which HE bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from HIM: so believe in ALLAH and {all of}HIS Messengers. Say not “Three”: desist {from this notion}. It will be better for you: For ALLAH is ONE GOD: Glory be to HIM: (far exalted is HE) above having a son. To HIM belong all things in the heaves and on Earth. And enough is ALLAH as a Disposer of affairs. Q (4: 171)
A special note about the following on Melchizedek/Jesus. Additional information in the form {}had to be added to make these verses clear while supposingthese verses to be original that is. It does pose a problem to the so-called ‘Trinitarians’ about when Jesus became the second person of the so-called Trinity among other things. However, it does provide a clue as to the reason why Abraham was ‘happy to see his day’. (John (8: 56)
Documents like the quotes from above and below (supposing them to be original in form) from the Book of Hebrews or the Gospel of John would have provided enough information and cause to place the emphasis on things NOT directlyrelated to salvation so that the true value of Jesus’ teachings could finally be subverted and replaced by the mischievous corrupters of truth by false doctrine. Hence, the teachings of Christ Jesus were manipulated by the wolves in sheep’s clothing that would eventually destroy the flock and go on to create the idea of a god-man concept.
“In the same way, Christ DID NOT{by his own design}take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But GOD said to him {by HIS COMMAND}, “You are MY Son {Chosen one}; {but now} todayI have become your Father.” And he says in another place, “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” During the DAYSof {adam’s}Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the ONE {GOD}who could save him from death, and he was heardbecause of his reverent submission. Son{of the leading lights} though he was, he {then was appointed to learn} learned obedience from what he sufferedand, {when he finally became perfectwithout sin} once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey {follow}him {the pattern of belief system called Islam when he shall return or when the saving period starts as in one must be born again of water and the spirit {John (3: 1-7)}** to be eligible to enter into the Kingdom of GOD} and was designated by GOD to be high priest {the person to consecratethe hosts orpeoples in this system of ISLAMupon his return}in the order of Melchizedek {of when he first became appointedfor this task such that Abraham was glad to see his day”. John (8: 56)} Hebrews (5: 5-10)
**Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night {for he feared the other Jews on this ruling council}and said, “Rabbi, WE know that you are a teacher who has come from GOD. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if GOD were not with him.”
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of GOD unless they are born again.”
“How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the Kingdom of GOD unless they are born of water and the Spirit.Flesh gives birth to flesh {water}, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit {Islam}. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’John (3: 1-7)
And so it goes…
Whatever beings {or things}there are in the heavens and the earth do prostrate themselves to ALLAH willingly or unwillingly: so also do their shadows {prostrate themselves as manifested before their CREATOR LORD}in the morning and evening. Q (13:15)
