Answer:
I appreciate your concern. I would like to clarify that I did indeed place the call to Trinity United Church of Christ.
With all respect, there are some false emails circulating over the internet but I feel that I can give enough evidence to back up my statements.

Question:
|
Gulfport that "Some virus--some disease is spreading all over America. Islam is worse than a cancer and it's spreading all over our country." Are we to understand you to mean that you would like to see Islam eradicated/destroyed?
|
|
Answer:
|
When you said in an interview on WAOY in We are not here to judge or execute anyone, Muslim or not. What I meant in my statement is that Islam is growing fast in America like a virus, not because Muslims are telling the truth about their religion but because they are spreading lies and they are deceiving Americans. The goal of The Straight Way of Grace Ministry is two fold. The first is to expose Islam for what it is, and yes it is worse than a cancer, and this can be shown clearly in the reading of the Qur'an and the Hadith. Secondly, reaching out to the lost Muslim through equipping Christian American as well as when the Lord gives us the opportunity to minister to them personally. The problem is not the Muslim people but Islam the religion, for we are commanded by Christ to love our enemy and hate sin. Therefore we must love Muslim and hate the religion of Islam.

Question:
|
What is the Muslim view on original sin?
|
|
Answer:
|
In Islam there is no connection between original sin and man's sin today. There is also no connection between forgiveness of sin and blood. In Islam forgiveness of sin comes from good works (Qur'an 111:4), fasting, prayer and especially by visiting Mecca, which is the fifth pillar in Islam. The visit to Mecca brings forgiveness of sin, past, present and future. Even though a Muslim may receive forgiveness for their sin there is still no guarantee that they will inter the garden (their heaven). For the Qur'an teaches that all Muslims will enter hell for some time and then Allah will choose whom He wills to enter the garden (Qur'an 3:185). The only guarantee that a Muslim has to enter the the garden and have the enjoyment of eternity with their virgins is when Muslims practice the seventh pillar of Islam, which is the pillar of Jihad. The Qur'an teaches that those who die while performing Jihad are not dead but they are living with their lord receiving their provision. Qur'an 3:169

Question:
|
Hello Usama, I was never a muslim but become a christian at the age of 15 and heard all sort of rumors about muslims that I lost count but I do remember one of them that I heard from someone in my family that if to become a terrorist or freedom fighter (some muslims may call it) or most heard one martyr as most muslims call it states that you cannot drink wine nor have sex with anyone for the rest of your life until you committed some type of attack against non-muslims and must have succeeded in order to get into heaven where you get 70 or so virgins and endless supply of wine. Do you think this rumor is true or false? Since you were once a muslim but now a ex-muslim and a true believer in Christ Jesus I thought that may know this and hoping to receive an answer so that I don`t get confused but know the truth. Thank you and God bless you and your ministry.

Answer:
|
Hi, Thank you for writing your question. I was never a Muslim but I accepted Jesus as my saviour at the age of 11. The answer to your question is that is a false teaching. In the early verses of the Qur'an Muhammad allowed Muslims to drink and gamble but in later verses he did not allow it. Even though Islam does not allow sex out of marriage but the Qur'an clearly teaches that a man can have such a thing called marriage for fun, which is marriage for a limited amount of time fora limited amount of money (prostitution). If a Jihadist performs jihad and dies in the process he is guaranteed that he will go straight to heaven and receive the 72 virgins or up to 700 virgins depending on what verse you read. You are right about the rivers of wine, honey and milk. Usama

Question:
|
Hello, I just read your letter about Sen. Obama and was wondering about the last statement : 11. His stance on the issue of gay marriage and abortion proves he is not a Christian. I was just thinking that, if in fact he is a follower of the muslim faith, the support of gay rights to marriage and womens rights to choose abortion (though this may be less important to him as Islam doesn't seem to value life as much as other cultures) would go against his religious beleifs as well. Right? I am 18 this year and will be voting for the first time. I would greatly appreciate your explination on the matter previously stated.
|
|
Answer:
|
Hi Sarah, I understand your concern about this question of abortion so I will explain it to you. Remember Muslims want to take over this country and make Islam the only religion. 1. A Muslim will not have have an abortion themselves. 2. Muslims want infidels to have abortions is ok because that will stop the growth of non Muslims. 3. Their support for gay marriage has two underlining reasons. First, the life span of homosexuals is getting shorter shorter. Second, If gays get the right to be married the next step will be for Muslims to have the right to have their four wives, according to their religious law. Do you see the danger? Please, I beg you, make a moral and Godly choice when you vote. Obama has convinced so many that "change" is what is important. He doesn't say what that change will be or what the ramifications do to the country. The Muslims have already put a list of changes that they want Obama to make when he is president. (You can see these on my website on the frequently asked questions page.) You should also watch my videos about Obama on the multimedia page.

Question:

I saw your presentation today and beleive you are the most important speaker in the christian world today. A nearby community called Carbondale has a large community of "sufis." My ex-husband is involved and is attempting to involve my teen-age children. It is very difficult to get accurate information on sufism and they hide from the media... hide that they actively recruit at the university and hide that they own many local businesses. Please provide me with information on sufism and its' relationship to islam. I believe sufism to be a dangerous cult affecting hundreds of people in the community. I need to have an understanding of what it truly is and how to protect my children and provide them with the truth. Thank you for your commitment to the truth and to the Lord and for your courage. God bless Tracy

Question:
|
Do you have particular recommendations in how to share the gospel with Muslims?
|
|
Answer:
|
The best way to reach out to the Muslim requires the best training. I am not a very good fisherman. I tried many times to catch fish in rivers, lakes, and even in the deep sea. I believe the reason is because I was never trained to catch fish as I grew up. I was never trained to catch fish in all kinds of waters, so it is with evangelism. We in America think that Muslim evangelism is like any other evangelism. We knock on their door, meet them in the street, and tell them about sin and about Jesus. Of course, Muslims have no idea what original sin is for they do not have the true story of Adam and Eve in the Qur'an. And of course, they will never believe and accept our Jesus, the Son of God, God who became flesh, died, and arose again. That is nothing but infidelity.
So we're talking two different languages. Evangelizing Muslims requires special training. Many try without success. I know some evangelists who traveled to do mission work in a Muslim world but end up becoming a Muslim and married to Muslim people. Have you read the Qur'an? Have you studied the Hadith? Do you know where the problem is in Christian doctrine for Muslims? For example, when we teach about the doctrine of trinity, I hear some Christians make the doctrine so complicated by saying that it is a mystery, we just believe in it. Others make it so simple by saying it is like ice, water, and steam. But have you studied what the Bible and the Qur'an, yes, the Qur'an teaches about the triune God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
It is very important to know Islam so that you can reach out to the Muslim. I do not believe in a specific way for I personally through the years have used many different ways which causes me to believe that Muslim evangelism requires more training for there are many different types of Muslims. Not all Muslims are the same. Therefore, there is not one specific way, and working with Muslims requires lots of training. I always use the Qur'an first simply because Muslims believe in it, and we can use the Qur’an to point the Muslim to these facts:
One, the Bible is the true word of God, and it cannot be changed for the Qur’an says that no one can change the words of Allah (Qur’an 6:34). Two, the Qur'an cannot be the word of God for it is full of errors and contradictions. “Do they not consider the Qur’an? If it was from other than Allah, they would have found in it many inconsistencies.” (Qur’an 4:82) Three, Mohammad cannot be a prophet, especially when we compare him to Jesus. Four, the Qur'an teaches that women are disrespected, without value. We know for a fact that women are half of the society. They are our mother, sisters, wives, and daughters. Five, the Jesus of the Qur'an is not the Jesus of the Bible. As a matter of fact, none of the stories of the Qur’an, which is copied from the Bible, are the same, not Noah, not Abraham, not Joseph, not Moses, etc. Six, true freedom cannot be found but in the teachings of the Bible for only in and by Christ, the Truth, can we be set free. Seven, Christianity is the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Old Testament, not the invention of Paul and other early Christian apostles. Muslim evangelism needs lots of work for it is a hard field.
I remember one time that I was asked to speak in a church and was asked to share with the congregation how to evangelize Muslims. The pastor of the church gave me 30 minutes to do so. I stood in the pulpit and asked a few questions. And the answer from the people of the church was obviously "no." They never read the Qur'an or the Hadith. They did not know anything about Islam or the Muslims. But they needed to learn how to evangelize them in 30 minutes. My answer is obviously "no." We can't do that. Jesus spent 3 years with His disciples so that He can equip them. Working with Muslims is even harder than working with Jews. There is not a specific recipe to do so but lots of study and lots of prayer.
There are 6 DVD's that are available in our ministry with 14 hours of education, I also translated the Qur'an into a true English translation, and there are many wonderful books written about Islam. The more you study, the more you learn, the more you are well equipped to reach the Muslims. Some think that the best way to do Muslim evangelism is to travel overseas and be a “real” missionary, but that is not biblical for the scriptures teach that Jesus sent His disciples first to Jerusalem, second to Judea, third to Samaria, and finally to the ends of the world. Let us begin with our Jerusalem. Yes, we were commanded to go to the ends of the world, but let us not forget about our Jerusalem first. Christ has made it even easier for today the whole world is in our Jerusalem. So let’s study, search, and reach.

Question:
|
What is the Camel Method and what is your view on it?
|
|
Answer:
|
There is no such thing as just one way to reach the Muslims with the gospel. I am familiar somewhat with the Camel Method. It is like taking a story from the Qur'an and using it to teach the truth of the gospel. I personally can use this method, but I don't think Christian Americans are equipped to do so. There is so much to learn about Islam before you can reach out or evangelize the Muslims about Jesus.
What I am worried about is that an America Christian will read this book and then try to reach out to the Muslims. When reaching out to a lost American, you can read a book or take a class on evangelism, but you can not do that with the Muslims for evangelizing them is far more complicated and difficult to do.

Question:

I have been recently researching the many views of people in our country with regards to the Quran and found this document. I would like your opinion if you would be so kind.
Here is the link to the document I found.
http://www.muslimaccess.com/articles/jihad/kill_the_infidels.asp
|
|
Answer:
|
I read the web site link, and I am very familiar with this technique that Muslims use. They are rewriting the history of Islam with a great level of deception and lies. They 're reinterpreting the verses of the Qur'an and ignoring the fact that it is already interpreted by their own scholars and it has been practiced exactly as it is interpreted by their scholars by Mohammed and Muslims for the last 1400 years. Unless this gentleman does not know Arabic, he is a big fat liar. He built his interpretation on Muslim English translations of the Qur'an, not the Arabic Qur'an. If he had read my English translation which is the first true English translation or the Arabic Qur'an, he would have discovered that the word infidel (kafer) is all over the Qur'an. He used soft early Mecce abrogated (erased or deleted) verses, then he reinterpreted Qur'an 9:5 with very slick deceptive words. I love what scholar Al Tabary said in his interpretation of Qur'an 2:109, and I quote, >Any verse in the Qur'an that does not include killing is an abrogated verse.<

Question:
|
Is >Allah< really the pagan moon god that was worshipped in Mecca during Muhammad's time and that when he took over the city he cleared all of the idols except this one from the Kabba?
Do the crescent moon and star on the Islamic flag represent this pagan moon god and does the star represent Muhammad?
|
|
Answer:
|
It is my heart's desire to reach the Muslims and inform Americans about Islam. Here are the answers to your questions. Your two questions are one in the same.
I personally believe that Allah is not the moon god, and Mohammed did not invent the word "Allah." The crescent moon is the beginning of every month for the Arabs use a lunar calendar, not a solar calendar, and that is how they know the beginning and ending month of Ramadan. I also believe that the Allah of Mohammed is Satan for he is the lord of the world, Qur'an 1:1 when compared to the Bible, 2 Cor. 4:4. He is also known as the read Quran 3:54 and 8:30. He also read Qur'an 35:8. He also desires to fill hell with people. Have you read the Qruan? If not, you need to get our true English translation from thestraightway.org website, then you will know that the Allah of the Quran is Satan, not a moon god. I know that some people teach that Allah is the moon god, but I don't believe that.

Question:

Would the muslim in this article more than likely been lying to the congregation or do they actually have altered versions of the Quran? link to article:
http://www.kentucky.com/2010/09/15/1435398/tom-eblen-tiny-woodford-county.html?storylink=addthis
|
|
Answer:
|
The verses quoted in the article you read are from the Quran but they are early verses which is abrogated by verse 9:5. What they don't tell you is that in the Quran Christians are not innocent, but they are infidels. Read Quran 5:72 - 73. Which teaches, That all those who believe that Jesus is God are infidels and all who believe in trinity are infidels.

Question:
|
On Worldview with Brandon House, I seem to recall you talking about Muslims infiltrating Christian Churches for the purpose of the men marrying the women and luring Christians into Islam. Can you provide the names of some churches where this has happened? Or is this a new strategy by the Muslims? What proof is there that this will happen?
|
|
Answer:
|
Sadly, today there are so many liberal churches, especially ones that are opening their church doors to do interfaith denominational work (when Muslims and Christians and others hold hands and sing Kum-Ba-Ya). Muslims will do anything to get involved in churches - fighting abortion, drugs, additions, etc. Liberal churches are helping to expand Islam through these Muslim without knowing that this is one of the ways that Muslims infiltrate churches.

Question:
|
Are women allowed to worship in Islam?
|
|
Answer:
|
Yes women are allowed to pray in Islam. Hadith, Tirmzi page 300 stated that Also in Islam a woman cannot fast or pray during her period for she is unclean during this time that is why Mohammed asked them to perform more prayer, so Allah will remove them from hell.
Do the muslems think we do not have souls? Quran 2:282
…So if the debtor was mentally deficient or weak or cannot dictate, so let his friend dictate with fairness and call two witnesses from your men; so if there were not two men, so one man and two women of those among whom you are pleased for witnesses so that if one of them should make an error, the other may cause her to remember. And she will inherit half of that of a man, Quran 4:11. As to why male and female do not pray together, because the Qur'an teach that women are unclean and dirtier than dirt. Quran 4:43:
O you who have believed, do not come near the prayer while you are drunk until you know what you are saying, nor after sexual orgasm except that you are merely passing by, until you wash. And if you were sick or traveling or one of you has relieved himself or you have touched the women, so you did not find water, then rub your face and your hands with good dirt. Surely Allah was pardoning, forgiving. That is why the Hadith teaches that there must be a barrier between male and female in pray as it is written:
In Sahih Muslim, Book 4, Number 1032
also Al-Bukhari, the Book of Prayer: 514
Abd Allah ibn al-Samit said: Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of Allah said:
I said: He replied:
Do they believe we are hell bound no matter what we do? No, may dear Sue Merriner, not all woman will be in hell. But most of them. Roughly around 99%. For the Hadith by Bukhari 5251, Mohammed said, And Kanzu al-'ummal, 22:10, That is talking about Muslim women. So as for you, the chance for you to get to Heaven is zero. But the good news is Galatians 3:28,
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Question:
|
Can you tell me how your translation of the Koran differs from other English versions?
I saw an online interview with a Muslim who said each Arabic word can have 5-6 different meanings so it's impossible for English-speakers to get an accurate understanding. He was trying to say that verses that say really mean something else.
|
|
Answer:
|
First of all the statement that the Arabic words have 5-6 different meanings is false. There is an English word for every Arabic word. The difference in our translation is that I used the true meaning of the word not a fabrication or interpretation of the word. As an example, the word have sex in Arabic has been translated in the other Qurans as marriage but ours says, to have sex.
We also depend on the Muslim scholar's interpretations of the words so therefore we cannot go wrong in the meaning of the word in our translation. We can back up what we have translated by what the excepted Arabic scholar's say.

Question:
|
What is your stand on burning Qurans?
|
|
Answer:
|
Many of you are asking me about the Quran burning. I am not in agreement with the burning because of what the outcome would bring. My idea is and always will be that people need to read the Qur'an to know what it teaches and then speak the truth. The book is evil because of what is taught in it and you can't stop that by burning it. Being educated about the enemy is the way to defeat it. Know my heart, you can hate Islam but you must love the Muslims. Don't get the two confused, loving someone does not mean you condone the evil they believe in and call it a loving peaceful religion when their book teaches the opposite.

|
Question:
|
What is the Sharia Law and how does it affect non-Muslims?
|
|
Answer:
|
Sharia is the Arabic word which means law. Islamic Sharia or Islamic law is the practice of the teaching of the Quran, I know some moderate Muslims, which I don't believe exist, but on paper, I call them deceivers, and some dumb liberals will defend Islam by saying that, . All this has nothing to do with Islam but that is a lie from hell, for the Qur'an teaches to cut the hand on the thief as it is written in Quran 5:38 And the male thief and the female thief, so cut off their hands (as) reward of what they earned as a punishment from Allah, and Allah is dear, wise. And the Qur'an also teaches Muslim to fight against all non-Muslims as Allah said in Quran 8:65 O you prophet, Provoke the believers to engage in war... Notice Allah commands Mohammed to provoke believers not extremest. As for jihad is throughout the Quran. Giving the jizya (Tribute tax) is in Quran 9:29.
Have you read our true English translation for the Quran? If not please visit our website so you can obtain a copy. The problem in America is that we have not yet studied the Quran so we know what Islam is really about.

Question:
|
The name "allah", I've heard simply means The god or that Allah was a pre-Islamic Moon god as well as a few other theories. Do you know for sure which is accurate or are both arguments true? Thanks so much and keep up the great work you are doing!
|
|
Answer:
|
The word (Allah) is not an Arabic word. It came from he hebrew word "Elohem." In the Arabic language, we use this word (Allah) for God as you see throughout my Arabic Bible. I do not believe in the moon god theory. Mohammed did not invent this word for his father was named (the servant of Allah) before Mohammed was born. When Mohammed spoke of Allah throughout the Quran, he meant the god of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the Creator of heaven and earth.
The question we must ask is - is the god of Islam the same god as the God of Christianity? The answer is absolutely not. For the god of Mohammed is the Satan of the Bible. We can see this clearly in Quran 1:1 which indicates that Muslims worship the god of this world who is
Satan (See 2 Corinthians 4:4) who is known as the best deceiver (See
verses 3:54 and 8:30) and who leads people astray (See verse 35:8).

Question:
|
Where in the Koran does it state that one born to a Muslim father is a Muslim? Thanks!
|
|
Answer:
|
In Quran chapter 18:74-80, 74So they went on
until they met a young man, so he killed him. So he said, Have you
killed a pure soul, without a soul? Indeed, you have done a horrible
thing! 75He said, Did I not tell you that you would not have patience with
me? 76He said, If I ask you about anything after this, so do not
accompany me. Indeed, you have received an excuse from me. ...78He said, (This is the parting
between you and me. But I will first tell you the interpretation of that with which you could not be patient. ... 80And as to the young
man, so his parents were believers so we feared lest he should trouble
them by rebellion and infidelity. 81So we desired that their lord might
exchange in his place, better than he was in virtue and closer in mercy.
The interpretation of Muslim scholars is that this young man, if he would live longer, he would for sure become an infidel, meaning leaving Islam. That's why Allah gave this prophet the wisdom to kill him, for any who are born to a Muslim family, if they leave Isalm, they must be put to death. This can also be found in the Qur’an 6 :151 …And do not kill the soul which Allah forbids except with a just cause… see also 17:33, 25:68.
Also in the Hadith, Bukhari, volume 9, #17 Mohammed said, (The blood of a Muslim cannot be shed except in three cases for murder, adultery, and the one who becomes an Apostate (leaves) from Islam )
In Saheeh Muslim book #33, Hadith #6426, Mohamed said that every child is born Muslim. Some will be indoctrinated by their family to other religions, but they must revert to Islam.

Question:
|
Is it true that Islamic Law says that once a territory has been conquered by Islamic forces, that territory can never be allowed to be returned to non Islamic ownership ?
This is important for Americans to know regarding the Palestinian (and USA backed) proposal to establish a Palestinian state in the West Bank of Israel - as a "solution" for a plan of "peaceful co-existence of Palestinians & Jews"
That solution seems to be just a ploy and a temporary trick to make many countries agree to force Israel to accept co-habitation with a new Palestinian nation - which has no intention of allowing Israel to have any sort of peace once the new
Palestinian state is established.
Could you comment and tell me what you know of Sharia law or Islamic law regarding this, and regarding the Hamas Mission Statement that follows here ?
|
|
Answer:
|
Yes, that is true. Islamic law states when a land is conquered by Muslims, it is Muslim land forever. The article written by Hamas is true.
The Scripture says that God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Isreal. So guess what is going to happen to America?

Question:
|
If the world is ruled by Satan, then are all the nations of the world provinces in Satan's empire? Is Israel an exception? Is the US an exception? Are there any other exceptions?
|
|
Answer:
|
There is no exception of the kingdoms or governments on earth. The entire world belongs to Satan. The world is the kingdom of Satan. In 2 Corinthians 4:4 the Bible clearly teaches that Satan is the god and the lord of this world. The church, however, does not belong to this world. The world does not love the church because the church is the kingdom of Jesus. Jesus will rule with the church forever.

Question:

Do you believe the birth certificate that shows President Obaama was born in Hawaii,is his real true Birth certificate? If not, how can one find the truth?
|
|
Answer:
|
If Obama had ever been issued a real birth certificate, he would lose crediblity. There must be something unusal about his certicifacte for what would be the point of spending over 2 million dollars if there was not something fishy about it to hide such a certificat all this time? That would make him disqualified to be elected to any political office because that would make him mentally sick to spend that much money to hide it. There is no reason for him to not have one, so what is the mystery about his.

I am a language student, and I do a lot of things on-line. I try to help others learn English as well as learn their language. In doing this, I meet a large number of people. One of the people I met was a young girl, born in Vienna, yet 100% Karachay-Balkar. She is a Muslim, and when I tried to talk to her about the Gospel, she decided that she wanted no more contact with me. I know that all the arguments 7 wise men can render could never persuade her if she is not willing to listen, however, I also have a responsibility to be the best, sharpest tool I can be for my Lord's use. Can you advise me of good resources to use so that I may better evangelize Muslims should I encounter one again?

Answer:
|
Witnessing to Muslims is a great challenge. The more you know about Islam, the better you are equipped to do so. Most likely unsecure Mulims will not carry on a conversation when you start sharing your faith. That's when you need to change your way of sharing the gospel.
Please go to our web site at www.thestraightway.org and go to the FAQ section and look for this question, "Do you have particular recommendations in how to share the gospel with Muslims?" You will find the answers to some of your questions there.

“More UU Temples in America!”
Liberals in the West have been speaking loudly the last two years about freedom of religion. If you ask why, you will discover that it is not because they would like churches in America to prosper or for freedom of Christianity to spread abroad during our lifetime. It is because they simply would love to see more UU temples be built all over our land, especially one at Ground Zero in New York City.
Why build UU temples in America? Since we have freedom of religion in America, people have the freedom to build buildings to practice their religions in our country.
Let me give you a scenario. I would love to build a UU temple, so I will go to your city hall to get a permit to build the first UU temple in your city. I will be required to fill out an application. In it I will describe what the UU religion is. So I will fill in the application with references from our holy books. I will say that in our holy book in Chapter 2:216, “War is decreed to you, and it is hated by you. And perhaps you may hate something and it is good for you, and perhaps you love something and it is evil for you. And UU god knows, and you do not know.” UU god teaches us to engage in war with all people, even if we hate to do so. The prophet of our religion commands us to fight people until they worship our UU god alone as he taught in Bu:V4B53N386, "Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, ordered us to fight you till you worship the UU god alone or pay us the Jizyah tribute tax in submission. Our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says: ‘Whoever amongst us is killed as a martyr shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever survives shall become your master.'" Our prophet also said in Mu:C9B1N31, "I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify to the fact that there is no god but UU god, and believe in me (that) I am the Messenger and in all that I have brought."
Our scholars gave us the true understanding of who we are and what we stand for as we read in their teachings in TaIX:69, "UU people are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are UU god's helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in the UU god. He who believes in the UU god and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of the UU god. Killing him is a small matter to us." We have a mission to torment all the people who live in America. Our god commands us to do so in our holy book when he said to us in Chapter 9:14, “Engage in war with them. The UU god will torment them by your hands and put them to shame and give you victory over them and heal the chest of a believing people.” For we were provoked by our prophet as true believers to do so as it is written in our holy book in Chapter 8:65, “O you prophet, provoke the believers to engage in war. If there will be twenty patient (steadfast in fighting) ones of you, they will have victory over two hundred…”
If we the UU people fill this application to build our temple out truthfully, we will never build one UU temple in America. Therefore, we will lie on the application which is lawful in our religion. In it we will use early verses from our holy book. We know and believe that these verses are abrogated (cancelled or erased), but that is exactly what our great prophet did years ago. He began peacefully; but then when he became powerful and strong, he used the final verses of our holy book.
In the next few years, since we are not the majority in the land now, we will be peaceful as we will use verses from our book which our prophet used when he was outnumbered in the land, such as in the following verses. Chapter 47:35, “So do not be weak and do not call for peace when you have the upper hand. And UU god is with you, and he will not leave from you [for] your work.” Chapter 2:256, “No compulsion in religion. Indeed, the right way is made distinct from the error…” We know that these are abrogated verses by new and final verses of our holy book as in the Verse of the Sword, Chapter 9:5, “So when the forbidden months are passed, so kill the polytheists wherever you find them, and take them [as captives], and besiege them, and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush, so if they repent (convert to the UU religion) and perform the prayer and give the legal alms, so leave their way free. Surely UU god is forgiving, merciful.” In simple words, this means that when we become 5-6% of the population in America, we will give your children one of the three following options: we will kill them, take them as slaves, or force them into our religion. If it happens that you are a Christian and believe that Jesus is God, we call you an infidel as it is written in our holy book in Chapter 5:72, “’Infidels indeed are those who said, ‘Surely God is the Christ, son of Mary."’ Also, if you believe in what you call the Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - we will judge you for being an infidel as it is written in our holy book in Chapter 5:73, “’Infidels indeed are those who said, ‘Surely God is the third of three."’ The punishment of being a Christian according to our religion is death by decapitation with one strike on the neck with a sword. Our holy book teaches in Chapter 47:4, “So when you meet those who became infidels, so strike the necks (decapitate) until you have made a great slaughter among them…”
We will fight with our money and our swords for the sake of our god as our holy book teaches in Chapter 9:41, “March forth lightly or heavily, and perform holy war with your money and your lives for the sake of UU god. This is best for you, if you were knowing.” We will be very harsh with you, and we know for sure that you will spend eternity in hell as our holy book teaches us in Chapter 9:73, “O you prophet, perform holy war against the infidels and the hypocrites, and be harsh with them. And their abode will be hell, and evil is the destination.” We will cast terror into your hearts, and we will kill some of you and take some of you as slaves. We will inherit your land, homes, and money as our holy book teaches in Chapter 33:26-27, “26 And he brought down the people of the book (Jews& Christians) who backed them from their strong places and cast terror into their hearts. A group of them you are killing, and a group of them you are taking captive. 27And he made you to inherit their land and their homes and their money and a land which you had never set foot on. And UU god was mighty over all things.” We do this because we want our god to love us in 61:4, “Surely the UU god loves those who engage in war in ranks for his sake, as if they were a solid wall.”
Right now we can lie to you and tell you that we are your friends because we need to protect ourselves from you because that is the only way that we can build our temple in your land as it is written in our holy book in Chapter 3:28, “Believers do not take infidels for friends, rather than the believers. Whoever does this so he has nothing to do with the UU god, but that you should guard yourself from them your fear of him [UU god]. And the UU god himself warns you, and to the UU god is the return.” However, after we take over your land, we will practice the words of our god in Chapter 5:51, “O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely UU god does not guide the unjust people.” We will fight you forever until you worship with us in our religion, and the UU religion will be completely to our god, meaning that every person on earth will belong to the UU religion as it is written in our holy book.
If you are stubborn and do not accept the UU religion peacefully, our religion will spread by strength and by the sword for you will have no choice but to submit to the new reality. In the future, if you choose not to continue in our religion or if you choose to leave our religion, this is what we will do to you. Narrated Ab: UU god's Messenger said, "The blood of a UU person…cannot be shed except in three cases… (for murder), (adultery), and the one who reverts from UU religion (Apostate) and leaves the UU religion." Since you are ignorant of our religion, I have shared with you these few verses even though there are over three hundreds verses in our holy book that teach the same language as mentioned above. We will just lie to you and tell you that we are a loving, peaceful religion. Thank you for giving me the permit to build another UU temple, you ignorant people.
Notice that the UU religion is Islam, the UU god is Allah, the UU prophet is Mohammed, the UU people are Muslims, and the UU holy book is the Qur’an. Also, Bu is Bukhari, Mu is Muslim, Ta is Tabari, and Narrated AB is Narrated Abdullah.
Sincerely,

Question:

Zudhi Jasser is self-described as a "devout" (his word) Muslim whose actions and words appear to indicate he is a true "moderate" Muslim. I don't understand how he can be "devout" at the same time he disavows or reinterprets hundreds of verses of the Qur'an and Hadith into something that the great majority of Muslim leaders around the world do not teach. Is he practicing a form of taqiyya? Is he being more patient than other Muslims in portraying "true Islam" as mild and benign until Islam has greater influence? Or is he a sincere but lone voice in the Islamic wilderness trying to make Islam into something it is not? His words describing himself as a "devout" Muslim don't ring true. A Christian who called himself a "devout" Christian would certainly not disavow major portions of the Bible or interpret them differently than the majority teachers of orthodoxy. There are certainly devout Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and Christian Scientists, but they certainly are not orthodox, and most orthodox Christians do not believe they are Christian. What kind of Islam is Jasser devout about?
|
|
Answer:
|
Let me begin by stating that there is no moderate Muslim for there is no moderate Islam. Your email is not a confusion, and the answers are in your own writing in your email. For all the points that you mentioned are true. Zudhi Jasser is a very smooth, sneaky, deceptive Muslim. He practices taqiyya which is Qur'an 3:28, "Believers do not take infidels for friends, rather than the believers. Whoever does this so he has nothing to do with Allah, but that you should guard yourself from them your fear of him [Allah]." No Muslims ever take Americans for friends for if they do so, they lose their relationship with Allah. As it is also written in Qur'an 5:51 when Allah commanded the Muslims not to take the Jews and Christians as friends. But if the Mulsims are the majority in the land, Allah gave them permission to live in hypocracy, that is to protect themselves, and they will not be expelled from the land, and that is what we call taqiyya. He will continue to do so until Muslims have the upper hand for the Qur'an clearly teaches in Qur'an 47:35 when Allah said, "So do not be weak and do not call for peace when you have the upper hand..." The problem in the West which the western world faces is when those who call themselves moderate Mulsims have the upper hand, then the fuzzy wuzzy feeling with our dear Muslim friends like Zudhi Jasser will end, and then it will too late.

Question:

I have a question about a particular verse in the Koran.
There is a source that quotes Quran (9:30) as........
"And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away.
In the Quran that you sent me the words "may Allah destroy them" are the following (instead): "Allah engages in war with them"
I am not sure what version the "may Allah destroy them" comes from, but it is quite a different expression than "Allah engages in war with them"
Could you please verify that verse because it makes a big difference which translation is more accurate. If Muhammed said "May Allah destroy them" that is quite a show of his character in that one verse.
|
|
Answer:
|
My translation is an accurate translation of the Arabic.
The word in arabic is 'katalhom allah' the true translation is, Allah engages in war with them. The other translations are interpretations to the meaning.

Answer:

I understand your concern, and believe me, if you look on the internet long enough you will find "hateful" videos of many well-known Christian teachers such as Rick Warren, Franklin Graham, and so on. Those who are uncomfortable with strong speech about the soul-damning darkness of Islam should read their own Bible. Jesus used "hateful" speech when He called the false-teachers of His day a "brood of vipers", "whitewashed tombs" and He ran them out of the temple with leather whips! If these videos were on youtube showing Jesus saying and doing this, what do you think the world's reaction would be? Any different than what you have read about me?
The real problem is that we are unaware about the lies of Islam, and if we realized that over a billion people are lost and without Christ due to it's darkness, we would worry less perhaps about "strong" language. Paul employed "strong" language, as well as Moses. The desire of our ministry is to help expose the lies of the enemy who is seeking to keep people away from the truth of salvation in Christ.
I have lived in a Muslim nation, studied in Muslim schools, witnessed firsthand the oppression of all those who will not bow the knee to "Allah." We need to take a strong stand for the truth of the gospel, and as Paul said: "reproving the works of darkness". I understand your concern, and I am passionate as I teach and preach, as Jesus did as well (not that I am comparing myself to our Savior), and perhaps it comes off as hateful, but my heart is for the truth and for those who are trapped in this false-faith.
The Qur'an teaches that Jesus did NOT die on a cross for our sins, it says that He is NOT the Son of God. We cannot allow "moderate" voices in Islam to claim that Islam believes in the same God as Christianity, and that all faiths are essentially the same. It is not a religion of peace, as is claimed, because chapter 9 of the Qur'an commands for Muslims to kill unbelievers many times. Most in the West are unaware of these 3 central facts.
I appreciate your concern, but please do not consider a passionate appeal and style as equivocating hate or intolerance. My prayer is that the truth of our Savior may shine into their hearts.

I have been listening to Usama on the VCY network almost every day and am learning a lot. It says on the program that even Muhammad didn’t know if he was going to heaven. Is there a verse in the Koran that states that? Can you let me know the verse?

Answer:

You can find this in the Qur’an, chapter 19:71, 72
(Everyone burns in hell for a while, and only the fearer of Allah will ever get out. See also verse 3:185. This contradicts the Bible. See Matthew 25:46 and Luke 16:26.) This is a statement by Usama in his translation, The Qenerous Qur’an, and is not part of the Qur’an.
19:71, 72
71And there is none of you who will not go down into it. This was an unavoidable decree of your lord. 72Then we will deliver those who fear and warn the unjust in it on their knees.
(Before entering the garden, Muslims will be in hell for a time.) This is a statement by Usama in his translation, The Qenerous Qur’an, and is not part of the Qur’an.
3:185
185 Every soul tastes the death, and surely you will only receive your wages on the day of resurrection. So whoever is removed from the fire and enters the garden, so indeed he becomes triumphant. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of the proud?

I just finished listening to your interview with Dr. Stan on Radio Liberty. I can tell by your tone that you are a very passionate brother in Christ.
A friend of mine has a son who is taking a college class on Islam. We had a chat at a party recently and he told me that the Qu’ran is not a book that promotes violence. I’d like to send him some info based on your interview. Would you be so kind as to give me a list of the chapters and verses you mentioned so that I can send them to him and give him a link to an online English version of the Qu’ran so he can verify this himself. I don’t need the text, just the chapter and verse notations.

Answer:

Here are some verses: there is not one verse in the Qu'ran that teaches love and peace. But there are some soft verses, early Macci abrograted verses. But, on the other hand there are close to 350 verses that teach nothing but hate. As the great scholar Altabrie, for his interpretation to Qu'ran 2:109. For the verse 109Many of the people of the book desire to turn you back to infidelity after you have believed, out of envy from themselves, after the truth has been shown to them. So pardon and forgive them until Allah will come in with his command. Surely Allah has might over all things.
"All verses does not teach killing is early abrogated verses." Therefore we know for sure there is not one verse in the Qu'ran that teaches love or peace.
Qur'an 2:216
War is decreed to you, and it is hated by you. And perhaps you may hate something and it is good for you, and perhaps you love something and it is evil for you. And Allah knows, and you do not know.
Qur'an 9:14
Engage in war with them. Allah will torment them by your hands and put them to shame and give you victory over them and heal the chest of a believing people.
Qur'an 9:38
O you who have believed, what is the matter with you? When it is said to you, "March forth (performing jihad) for the sake of Allah," you cling heavily to the earth. Are you satisfied with the life of this world rather than the hereafter? So what is the enjoyment of the life of this world but a little [compared] to the life of the hereafter?
Qur'an 8:65
O you prophet, provoke the believers to engage in war. If there will be twenty patient (steadfast in fighting) ones of you, they will have victory over two hundred…
Qur'an 9:5
So when the forbidden months are passed, so kill the polytheists wherever you find them, and take them [as captives], and besiege them, and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush, so if they repent (convert to Islam) and perform the prayer and give the legal alms, so leave their way free. Surely Allah is forgiving, merciful.
Qur'an 47:4
So when you meet those who became infidels, so strike the necks (decapitate) until you have made a great slaughter among them…
Qur'an 9:41
March forth lightly or heavily, and perform jihad (holy war) with your money and your lives for the sake of Allah. This is best for you, if you were knowing.
Qur'an 9:73
O you prophet, perform jihad (holy war) against the infidels and the hypocrites, and be harsh with them. And their abode will be hell, and evil is the destination.
Qur'an 9:29
Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah and in the last day. And do not forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, and do not believe in the religion of the truth (Islam) among those who have been given the book (Jews& Christians) until they pay the jizya (tribute) out of hand and they are subdued.
Qur'an 33:26
And he brought down the people of the book (Jews& Christians) who backed them from their strong places and cast terror into their hearts. A group of them you are killing, and a group of them you are taking captive.
Qur'an 33:27
And he made you to inherit their land and their homes and their money and a land which you had never set foot on. And Allah was mighty over all things.
Qur'an 61:4
Surely Allah loves those who engage in war in ranks for his sake, as if they were a solid wall.
Qur'an 5:51
O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Nasara (Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
Qur'an 8:39
And engage in war with them until there will not be sedition and the religion (Islam) will be completely to Allah. So, if they cease, so surely Allah sees what they do.
Muslim:C9B1N31
"I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and believe in me (that) I am the Messenger and in all that I have brought."
Bukhari:V4B53N386
"Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah alone or pay us the Jizyah tribute tax in submission. Our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says: ‘Whoever amongst us is killed as a martyr shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever survives shall become your master.'"
Tabari IX:69
"Arabs are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah's helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing him is a small matter to us."

Question:

Usama, You say you grew up as a Christian. If so, why is your name Usama? Usama is a name traditionally used by Muslims, not Christians.
|
|
Answer:
|
There are 28 names for "the Lion" in the Arabic language. Usama is the first name of the 28 names. It is a very strong Arab name that Christians, Jews, and Muslims use. I was named by my family because of a wonderful neighbor who had chosen this name for me. For almost 25 years, I did not understand why God chose such a name for me, but now I know why. It is because someone like you would question my name and ask why. And then the Lord opens a door for me to share Christ with them after sharing the truth about Islam. There are thousands of Americans who have asked me the same question, thinking perhaps I am a Muslim. Now just because of my name they know the truth about Islam and the love of Christ.

Question:
|
I have a Muslim friend I am sharing with. I asked him about Eide, and it being about the sacrifice of "Ishmael" when it is clearly "Isaac" in the Bible. In reply he wrote the following: Walking down to my lab, I remembered Muslim response would be for your question. Since in the Bible, God says "take your son, your only son, Isaac" for sacrifice. The Issac was not Abraham first son but second. Ishmael was his only son for more than a decade. Thus the conclusion is that it is altered! Now it would be the matter of interpretation of what is the definition of "your only son" according to you. What advice do you have for me to respond to him?
|
|
Answer:
|
If you talk to any Muslim about the test which God gave to Abraham concerning the sacrifice of his son, Muslims immediately will state that the sacrificial son was their father Prophet Ishmael. When you ask why they believe that the sacrificial son was Ishmael and not Isaac, the answer is because the Bible was corrupted and changed. They claim that the Bible originally stated that it was Ishmael who was sacrificed, but the Jews, because of their jealousy of Mohammed, changed the sacrificial person to Isaac. Although all manuscripts, including the Dead Sea Scrolls which were written at least 600 years before Mohammed was born, say it was Isaac not Ishmael.
But who is the sacrificial son, even according to the Qur’an and the Hadith? All that we know concerning the sacrificed one comes from the writing of Ibn Kathir (page 182, The Beginning and the End) who stated he knew for sure that the sacrifice was Ishmael. (In the same paragraph he says that Abraham met with Ishmael only three times after he left as an infant with his mother.)
The only place in the Qur’an which mentions the sacrificial son comes from 37:99-113 where there is no mention of the name Ishmael but actually mentions Isaac in verses 112-113. In verse 102, the son was walking and talking with Abraham. According to the writing of Ibn Kathir (185) and other Muslim scholars like Al Sohale, the sacrificial son must be Isaac because Ishmael was not with Abraham at the age of "walking and talking," according to Mohammed in the Hadith. Ishmael was living at that time in Mecca with his mother.
What was the real reason for Muslims to claim and insist that the sacrificial son was Ishmael? It is because they claim they are the descendants of Ishmael, and they want to tie Mohammed to Abraham through Ishmael. Therefore, Mohammed would be the prophet from whom the blessing will come to the world. Can any Muslim scholar prove this theory by any document, historical or genealogical?
What Muslims do not know, like most people, is that the Arabs are not the descendents of Hagar through Ishmael, but they are the descendants of Keturah, as written in Genesis 25:1-6. Now where do the descendants of Keturah live and can we tie them to Arab countries? The Bible states that the children of Keturah lived in the east country. In Job 1:3, the Bible states that Job was living in the land of the east. Also notice that one of the children of Keturah was Shuah, Genesis 25:2, who is obviously related to Job’s friend. How about the name Sheba in Genesis 25:3? That is another name that is tied to the Queen of Sheba, I Kings 10:1-13. She was the queen of the country we know as Yemen today. One can continue through the names of the children and grandchildren of Keturah and can tie them to Arab countries, like the Midianites. However, Ishmael's descendants, the Ishmaelites, lived north between Havilah and Shur, which is between Egypt and Assyria. They had no ties to Mohammed or the Arabs, as we see in Gen. 25:12-18.
Because many people believe in something for a long time does not make it true. For example, the whole world believed that the earth was flat. Mohammed believed this, as it is written in the Hadith and the Qur’an, but that did not make it true.
It is clearly ISAAC, not as the story is written in the Qur’an where Abraham was speaking to his son concerning a dream. The Bible says that God spoke to Abraham telling him to take his only beloved son Isaac and offer him as a sacrifice. The promise of the inheritance had been given to Sarah and her son, not Hagar and Ishmael. The request of God was specific. Genesis 22:2 states: “Take your son, your only son whom you love Isaac.” God had promised Abraham he would have a son from his wife Sarah, Genesis 17:16. Examine Genesis 22:1-14 for the account concerning the test of Abraham and the true account of the son to be sacrificed.
The details of the Genesis account let us know when (Genesis 22:1, "when it came to pass" - the fulfillment of the promise of God concerning Isaac, sending Ishmael away with his mother, and then Isaac alone to be sacrificed - the true test), where (in the land of Moriah, and offer him as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which God would tell him), how (through the audible voice of God to Abraham, not in a dream, as stated in the Qur’an, when He said to him to take his only son to sacrifice him), who (his only son, Isaac, not his son as it is written in the Qur’an), and why (a test, wherein God proved that Abraham feared and obeyed God. It is for us to fear and obey God. It is also a picture of what would take place within two thousand years, when Jesus would be sacrificed, instead of the sinful human race. God provided the sacrificial ram in Genesis 22:13 to be sacrificed instead of Isaac. God provided His true Lamb, Jesus Christ, to be a sacrifice for our sin.) The Qur’an, the Hadith, and Muslim scholars do not have answers for these questions. Their answers would be simply that Allah knows best. In other words, they did not know.
To learn more details you should to get my new book, The Revelation of Error, when it comes out next year. I hope this was a help to you.

Question:

I have another two questions for Usama about certain koran verses.
2: 221 which says "invite them to the fire", does this mean that the
polytheists are to be burned?
I regret I do not understand if this is a command to kill by fire,
perhaps you can shed some light on this.
Then 2: 229 which talks about the "limits of allah".
I am asking for help to understand what the supposed limits of allah
are.
|
|
Answer:
|
Qur'an 2:221 refers to Muslims who marry polytheists (unbelievers), be influenced by them, become an infidel like them (the unbelievers), and then will end up in hell.
Qur'an 2:229 the limits of Allah are the rules which Allah gives. The rule in this situation here is that a man can only divorce his wife three times, and he can remarry her after the first two divorces within the limit of three months. If the divorce period goes over three months, (like 3 months and a day), he cannot remarry her. If he divorces her the third time, he cannot remarry her until she marries a new husband and has sex with that husband. If the new husband divorceses her, then she can be remarried to her first husband.
That is the opposite of what the Bible teaches in Deut. 24:1-4
"When a man hath taken a wife…and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand…she may go and be another man's wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement…or if the latter husband die…Her former husband…may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD… "

Question:

Please explain briefly the meaning of jihad I have attended worldview weekend and have many of your dvds and own a copy of the generous quran.
|
|
Answer:
|
Jihad can be understood simply by reading the verses by Allah in the Quran. There are 30 verses in the Quran where the word jihad is mentioned, and every one of these verses indicate to go out to fight and kill non-Muslims or to invade non-Muslim land; therefore, jihad is a holy war to spread Islam and get rid of other religions, faiths, and cults.

As I was talking to a sister and she said that Abraham was a pagan before he was called by God. Is this true? I can't seem to find anything in the bible saying that he was pagan. Please help me understand this.
|
|
Answer:
|
Abraham was born in Ur of the Chaldeans, but there is nothing in the Bible that says he worshiped idols. That is from a Quranic teaching. The story in the Qur'an is full of nonsense - such as Abraham breaking the idols and as a consequence was thrown in the fire, and the long conversation between his father and Abraham did not happen. When we read the Bible, we see that none of this fabrication is true.

Muslims worship Satan by the name of Allah. For example, in Quran 1:1, it states that Allah is the god of the worlds. The Bible clearly teaches in 2 Cor. 4:4 that the god of the world is Satan. In Quran 3:54 and 8:30, Allah is known as the best deceiver. The Bible clearly teaches that the deceiver is Satan. Quran 35:8 says that Allah leads people astray which is a description of Satan in the Bible. Allah desires to fill hell with humans, but the Bible teaches that God desires that not one person should perish.

Who is the we in verses such as 7:40 and 42, 7:160 and 62? What does verse 9:36 mean?
|
|
Answer:
|
Verse 9:36 refers to the lunar year, that is 12 months of 28 days or so. It begins with the start of the new moon and ends with the new moon. Four of these 12 months are called the forbidden months. These are the months where Arabs used to set aside where no one could kill, even if the person lost a father or a son on the day before the beginning of these four months. They would not take revenge during these months. After Islam took over the Arabs, this beautiful custom was stopped. Now Muslims kill all year long.

Question:

I have a question regarding Quran 9:111. I read english and russian translations and many of them have a big differences in meaning. This verse seem describing the exact bargain with the Satan, as we know it. Allah buying your soul for paradise. Like Satan (buying) your soul for eternal life. What exactly does this verse say in accurate translation? What known scholars say about the meaning? I saw very little attention in the web and in the media to this verse, though it seems absolutely revealing the core of this faith. Considering that Chapter 9 is Medina s one of the latest chapters. Thank you!

In Quran 9:111 the true translation is:
Surely Allah has purchased from the believers their persons and
their money so that they may have the garden. They will engage in war
for the sake of Allah. So they will kill, and they will be killed; a promise of
this is true in the Torah and in the Gospel and in the Qur'an. And who is
more faithful to his covenant than Allah? So receive the good news in
your pledge which you have pledged with, and this is the great triumph.
In simple words, Muslims are slaves to Allah. He owns them and everything they have. Allah will exchange their souls and their money for the garden. So if they go and fight, they may kill others or they themselves may be killed. Then Mohammed lied and said that this was the same message of the Torah and the Gospel. But the Bible does not teach such a message. Mohammed ended this verse by stating that this is the good news and commanded the Muslims to continue to hold onto their pledge for they will end with a great triumph which is the garden.
