Muslims generally are of 2 types :

[1] Muslim by chance;

[2] Muslim by choice.

We must not take for granted our being Muslim - as this is already a

great favour which Allah SWT has given us.

Every Muslim must ‘strive’ to remain true and loyal to this DEEN

(religion), by constant learning and acquiring the right knowledge

(‘ILM) and diligently putting to practice what they have learnt with

righteous deeds (‘AMAL).

Although many have come into Islam, yet it is unfortunate that there

are also some who became Murtad (renounce or leave Islam).


Allah SWT informs us that generally, Muslim converts usually are

better replacements for they will be granted favours of such

standards as stipulated in this verse. Viz. :

These verses was revealed about a group of people from the

Quraysh who said to the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him

peace:

“Come follow our religion and we will follow yours. You worship our

idols for a year and we worship you Allah the following year. In

this way, if what you have brought us is better than what we

have, we would partake of it and take our share of goodness

He ( Allah bless him and give him peace ) said:

“Allah forbid that I associate anything with Him”.

And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed (Say: O disbelievers!) up to the

end of the Surah.

The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, then

went to the Sacred Sanctuary, which was full of people, and

recited to them the Surah.

WHEN AND HOW THE TERM WHEN AND HOW THE TERM “CHRISTIANITY” CAME “CHRISTIANITY” CAME ABOUT?ABOUT?

31


Jesus a.s. was sent to the Israelite (Bani Israel).

“ He (Jesus) answered: ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel’ ” (Mathew:15:24)


32


Jesus a.s. was sent in continuation of prophethood amongst the Israelite (Bani Israel) and enjoined them to follow the Law.

“Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets, I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.” (Mathew:5:17)


Jesus a.s. spoke “Aramaic” (a Hebrew dialect) almost similar to Arabic.

33



He was referred to with the title “Messiah” (Hebrew) which is the equivalent to “al-Maseeh” in Arabic - in both languages it means “the anointed one” from the root word ‘masaha’ – i.e. “to wipe, rub over with, anoint”.

34



The word “messiah” was later translated into Greek which is “Kristos” (which has the meaning of ‘the anointed’). And from this Greek word it was kept in use, even in English with the Latinized spelling “Christ”. From this we get the word “Christians”.

35



we are told that many years after Jesus time (circa 100 CE), at a place called Antioch, the remnant followers of Jesus, was ridiculed, persecuted and mocked by their enemies. These Greek people started to refer them (followers of the prophet Jesus a.s. at that time) as “these are Christians”, implying wrongly that they “worshipped Jesus” – whereas they were of the Judaic tradition that believed in monotheism (One God).

36



“… the real founder of

Christianity is actually Paul…”

WHEN AND HOW THE TERM WHEN AND HOW THE TERM “CHRISTIANITY” CAME “CHRISTIANITY” CAME ABOUT?ABOUT?Jesus a.s. came for the Jews but Paul was interested to popularize this teaching amongst the Hellenized world (Romans and Greek). Scholars considered him to be a Hellenized Jew (i.e. a Jew strongly influenced by Greek culture and ways of life). He was not amongst the original disciples of Jesus. He was originally a persecutor but then later converted, claiming to have seen a ‘vision’.

39



After Paul’s ‘conversion’ to this religion, he offered interpretations of what the religion should be, which included changing the Jewish ways with that of Greek and Roman ideas to gain converts amongst the gentiles (non-Jews).

40


WHEN AND HOW THE TERM WHEN AND HOW THE TERM “CHRISTIANITY” CAME “CHRISTIANITY” CAME ABOUT?ABOUT?The strictly monotheistic faith of the religion amongst the Bani Israel were compromised into adapting and adopting the Trinitarian belief and other practices of the pagan Mediterranean religions of the Greek, Roman, Persian and Egyptian.

41



Thus we saw a split amongst those who claimed to be the followers of Jesus teachings.

42



In 325 CE, the conflict between the Unitarian versus the *Pauline Trinitarian was ruthlessly ended by the decree of king Constantine at the Council of Nicaea.

* Pauline – from teachings of Paul

43



Through subsequent Synods and Councils organized by the Church, new creed and beliefs were adopted.

Those who opposed the Church’s ruling were condemned as heretics and persecuted. Thus Pauline doctrines became dominant.

CONCEPT OF GODCONCEPT OF GODSay: “He is the One God: God the Eternal, the Uncaused Cause of All Being, He begets not, neither is He begotten: and there is nothing that could be compared with Him.”

(Qur’an: Surah al-Ikhlas: 112)

“... O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you say unto mankind: Take me and my mother as gods besides Allah? {Jesus} answered:”… I speak unto them only that which You commanded me: worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord...”

(Qur’an: al-Maa-idah: 5: 116)

The Father is fully God.The Son is fully God.The Holy Spirit is fully God.They are not three gods but

One.(extracted from Apostolic creed)

Note: The Christians emphasized the above that “they (i.e. the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) are distinct but not separate”.... whatever that means !?! (note how confused they are ! Even linguistically this assertion is preposterous)

It (Apostolic creed) was not Jesus’ teaching:

These doctrines (Apostolic creed) are not what Jesus teach but innovations and conjectures of the Church. If we refer to their Bible, there is no explicit (clear i.e. without need for interpretations) sayings of Jesus concerning Trinity or about himself claiming to be God. Whereas Jesus explicitly teaches Tauhiid, e.g. :

““And one of the scribes come up And one of the scribes come up and asked him, ‘Which and asked him, ‘Which commandment is the first of commandment is the first of all?’ Jesus answered ‘Hear O all?’ Jesus answered ‘Hear O Israel! The Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord our God, the Lord is OneLord is One!” !”

51



.... teaching Trinity ?

“...Jesus said to them, go forth and make disciples of them and baptize them in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy spirit...”

(Gospel of Matthew 28: 19)

Some Christian would quote this to justify..

CHRISTIANITYSimple explanation in

Matthew 28: 19:These words does not mean that Jesus teaches Trinity, rather the use of the phrase “..in the name of ” signify authoritative basis for preaching.”. Example an ambassador acting on behalf of the government and country will sign “in the name of the head of state and the country, but writing his own name.” The teaching of the religion is with the authority sanction by God, His angel and His Messenger. Just as it is wrong to say that the ambassador is also literally the country, thus it would be wrong to say that the Messenger is also God.

Jesus a.s. followed the law. He explicitly warns against anyone trying to do away with these laws:“Whosoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of Heaven. But he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven.”“For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthews: 5: 19-20) 53
