MECCA

• Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O mankind! I am (sent) to you ONLY as a plain warner (innama ana lakum natheerun mubeenun)." S. 22:49 Hilali-Khan

• Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I am ONLY a warner (Qul innama ana munthirun), and there is no God save Allah, the One, the Absolute, S. 38:65 Pickthall

• Sahih Bukhari: From Abu musa (R.T.A) who said 'Allah's Apostle said 'My example and the example of the message with which Allah has sent me is like that of a man who came to some people and said 'I have seen with my own eyes the enemy forces and i am a Unclad warner (to you) so save yourself, save yourself ! A group of them obeyed him and went out at night, slowly and stealthy and were safe. While another group did not believe him and thus the army took over them in the morning and destroyed them'

Mecca

• 5:32 Say: "Obey Allah and His Messenger": But if they turn back, Allah loveth not those who reject Faith.

•  • 4:59: O you who believe! Obey Allâh and obey

the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allâh and His Messenger (SAW), if you believe in Allâh and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination.

Ephesians 6:12

12 FOR OUR STRUGGLE IS NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST THE RULERS, AGAINST THE AUTHORITIES, AGAINST THE POWERS OF THIS DARK WORLD AND AGAINST THE SPIRITUAL FORCES OF EVIL IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS. • NIV

• Acts 19:23-28

• 23 ABOUT THAT TIME THERE AROSE A GREAT DISTURBANCE ABOUT THE WAY.

• 24 A SILVERSMITH NAMED DEMETRIUS, WHO MADE SILVER SHRINES OF ARTEMIS , BROUGHT IN NO LITTLE BUSINESS FOR THE CRAFTSMEN.

• 25 HE CALLED THEM TOGETHER, ALONG WITH THE WORKMEN IN RELATED TRADES, AND SAID: "MEN, YOU KNOW WE RECEIVE A GOOD INCOME FROM THIS BUSINESS.

• 26 AND YOU SEE AND HEAR HOW THIS FELLOW PAUL HAS CONVINCED AND LED ASTRAY LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE HERE IN EPHESUS AND IN PRACTICALLY THE WHOLE PROVINCE OF ASIA. HE SAYS THAT MAN-MADE GODS ARE NO GODS AT ALL.

• 27 THERE IS DANGER NOT ONLY THAT OUR TRADE WILL LOSE ITS GOOD NAME, BUT ALSO THAT THE TEMPLE OF THE GREAT GODDESS ARTEMIS WILL BE DISCREDITED, AND THE GODDESS HERSELF, WHO IS WORSHIPED THROUGHOUT THE PROVINCE OF ASIA AND THE WORLD, WILL BE ROBBED OF HER DIVINE MAJESTY."

• 28 WHEN THEY HEARD THIS, THEY WERE FURIOUS AND BEGAN SHOUTING: "GREAT IS ARTEMIS OF THE EPHESIANS!"

2 Corinthians 4:4

• The god of this age has blinded the minds of

unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of

the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image

of God.

False Christ

• Not the Son of God Quran S. At-Tawba 9:30

• “The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!”

False Christ: Not the Savior

• Quran S. An-Nisa’ 4:157

Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:
