Titolo: Do you want to know about ISLAM

From the dawn of civilization, floving dresses and head scarves have
always been associated with "Godliness" or "God consciousness". Even
the Christians pictorial representation of the earlier prophets and
their woman folks bear a familiar likeness to the dress ordained for
Muslim men and women. This tradition of modesty is reflected in the
Qur'an, wherein Allah says:
O ye Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your
shame, as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of
righteousness, that is the best. Such are among the Signs of God, that
they may receive admonition (7:26)

 Polygamy  
The religion of Islam was revealed for all societies and all times and
so accommodates widely differing social requirements. Circumstances
may warrant the taking of another wife but the right is granted,
according to the Qur'an, only on condition that the husband is
scrupulously fair.
Islam delves deeper into the problems of individuals and societies,
and provides for legitimate and clean solutions which are far more
beneficial than would be the case if they were ignored. There is no
doubt that the second wife legally married and treated kindly is
better off than a mistress without any legal rights.

 Terrorism  
Many terrorists groups have used the name Islam to promote their cause
and this gave the West a chance to attack Islam and label the Muslims
as terrorists. The West on the other hand deliberately ignores
labeling terrorists as Christians or Jewish when they are.
Terrorism as an act of violence has been committed by people from all
religious and political backgrounds. Christian terrorists ( e.g.
Bosnia, Ireland, Nazi) and Jewish terrorists (e.g. Israel, Palestine
and Lebanon) for example used their religious beliefs to claim
legitimacy for the violence and terrorism they commit. They killed
thousands of women and children and innocent young men for no more
than terrorizing the innocents.
The enemies of Islam however, have been trying to make the word
terrorists and terrorism synonymous to Islam (Submission) in an
ongoing effort to slander Islam and the Muslims We have to remember
whenever we see any terrorist activities to blame the people and not
to blame the religion. Not everyone who calls himself a Muslim is a
Muslim  .We believe that time has come for the media to respect Islam,
and not to mix between what Islam stands for and what some Muslims do.

 Al-Jihad  
In order to preserve Islam, and convey it to people at large, and to
remove the obstacles in its way, Allah, the Exalted, has decreed jihad
as a legitimate institution or warfare. Jihad also is meant to deliver
men from those who enslave them, and from submissiveness to men, such
as rulers, and Sheikhs, and to stop them from worshipping graves,
trees, stones, and all other idols, and make them submit to Allah
alone after having lived in the darkness of ignorance bereft of the
light of the truth. In other words, jihad is legitimized to help
people shun worshipping anything but God, and replace them the
tightness of this world with the ampleness of the world to come.
Having reviewed the principles of Islam, we realize that it is
incumbent upon us, individually and as a whole, to apply them all.

Some Benefits of Islam

 Islam's Rational Appeal  
Islam, with its clear and direct expression of truth, has a great
appeal to anyone seeking knowledge. It has a solution for all problems
that arise during the course of one's life. It is a guide toward a
better and complete life.

 Glance View of Life  
Human beings live according to their view of life. The tragedy of
secular societies is that they fail to connect the different aspects
of life. The secular and the religious, as well as the scientific and
the spiritual seem to be in conduct. Islam puts an end to this
conflict and brings harmony to man vision of life.

 Brotherhood  
The Brotherhood of Man: A major problem facing mankind today is
racism. The developed world can send a man to the moon but cannot stop
man from hating and fighting his fellow man. Ever since the days of
the Prophet Muhammad fourteen centuries ago, Islam has given a vivid
example of how racism can be ended: the annual pilgrimage to Makkah
reveals the Islamic miracle of the real brotherhood of all races and
nations.

 Marriage  
A Muslim marriage is not a ³sacrament², but a simple, legal agreement
in which either partner is free to include conditions. Marriage
customs thus vary widely from country to country. As a result, divorce
is not common, although it is not forbidden as a last resort.
According to Islam, no Muslim girl can be forced to marry against her
will.

 Family  
The family, which is the basic unit of civilization, is disintegrating
in all western countries. Islam's family system brings the rights of
the husband, wife, children, and relatives into a fine equilibrium. It
nourishes human unselfishness, generosity, and love in the framework
of a well-organized family system

 Treating the Elderly  
In the Islamic world there are no old people's homes. The strain of
caring for one's parents in this most difficult time of their lives is
considered an honor and blessing, and an opportunity for great
spiritual growth. God asks that we not only pray for our parents, but
act with limitless compassion, remembering that when we were helpless
children they preferred us to themselves. Mothers are particularly
honored: the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught that 'Paradise lies at
the feet of mothers'. When they reach old age, Muslim parents are
treated mercifully, with the same kindness and selflessness.
In Islam, serving one's parents is a duty second only to prayer, and
it is their right to expect it. It is considered despicable to express
any irritation when, through no fault of their own, the old become
difficult.
The Qur'an says:
" Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and be kind
to parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, do not
say 'uff' to them or chide them, but speak to them in terms of honor
and kindness. Treat them with humility, and say, 'My Lord! Have mercy
on them, for they did care for me when I was little ". (17.23-4)

 Inner Peace of Mind/Heart  
Real happiness and peace can be found in submitting to the commands of
the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the
Qur'an:
{Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest} (Qur'an, 13:28)
On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur'an will have a
life of hardship in this world. God has said:
{ But whoever turns away from the Quran,1 he will have a hard life,
and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment } (Qur'an,
20:124)
This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the
material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now
Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes
more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true
happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.

 Forgiveness of GOD  
If we sin, what should we expect from God? If we subsequently feel
guilty and repent after doing something evil, God wants us to expect
Him to be forgiving, forgiving, and more forgiving. However, there is
one sin that God will not forgive: worshipping anything besides Him
(unless the person realizes his or her error and returns to
worshipping the One God):
" Verily God does not forgive the ascribing of divinity to anything
beside Him, although He forgives any lesser sin to whomever He wills:
for he who ascribes divinity to anything beside God has indeed
contrived an awesome sin." [4:48]
" Say, `O you servants of Mine who have transgressed against your own
selves! Despair not of God's Mercy: behold, God forgives all sins -
for verily, He alone is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace " [39:53]
Again, the most common phrase in the Qur'an is " In the Name of God,
the Most Merciful, the One who Acts Mercifully ".
The Last Messenger commented on God's forgiveness on many occasions as
in the following case:
" God has said, `O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of
Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind.
O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were
you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam,
were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were
you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you
forgiveness nearly as great as it [i.e. the earth] ". - The Last
Messenger

 Muslims' Belief in Jesus  
Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him).  They consider
him one of the greatest of God's messengers to mankind.  The Qur'an
confirms his virgin birth, and a chapter of the Qur'an is entitled
'Maryam' (Mary).  The Qur'an describes the birth of Jesus as follows:
{ (Remember) when the angels said, "O Mary, God gives you good news of
a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary,
revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near
(to God).  He will speak to the people from his cradle and as a man,
and he is of the righteous." She said, "My Lord, how can I have a
child when no mortal has touched me?" He said, "So (it will be).  God
creates what He wills.  If He decrees a thing, He says to it only,
'Be!' and it is." }           (Qur'an, 3:45-47)
Jesus was born miraculously by the command of God which had brought
Adam into being without a father.  God has said:
{ The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam.  He created him
from     dust, and then He said to him, "Be!" and he came into
being }  (Qur'an, 3:59)
During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles.  God
tells us that Jesus said:
{ "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord.  I make for you the
shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird
by God's permission.  I heal the blind from birth and the leper.  And
I bring the dead to life by God's permission.  And I tell you what you
eat and what you store in your houses...." }  (Qur'an, 3:49)
Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified.  It was the plan of
Jesus' enemies to crucify him, but God saved him and raised him up to
Him.  And the likeness of Jesus was put over another man.  Jesus'
enemies took this man and crucified him, thinking that he was Jesus.
God has said:
{ ...They said, "We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the
messenger of God." They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him,
but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that
man)... } (Qur'an, 4:157)
Neither Muhammad (Peace be upon him) nor Jesus (Peace be upon him)
came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one God, brought by
earlier prophets, but rather to confirm and renew it.

 Muhammad (Peace be upon him) in the Bible  
-The Prophet Like unto Moses
God addressed Moses: Deuteronomy 18:18: "I will raise them up a
prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee [Moses], and will
put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I
shall command him."
1. Brethren of Israelites (descendants of Abraham through Isaac) are
Ishmaelite (descendants of Abraham through Ishmael). Jesus is here
excluded, as he is an Israelite. Otherwise it should be written "a
prophet from among yourselves."
2. Who looks like Moses? Jesus or Muhammad (Peace be upon them all)?
The table below is self explanatory:
Jesus Mohammad Moses Area of Comparison
Unusual Usual Usual Birth
Single, No children  Married, children  Married, children Family Life
Unusual Usual  Usual  Death
Prophet Prophet/Statesman Prophet/Statesman Career
None Yes - to Madinah Yes - to Median Forced Emigration - in
adulthood

Encounter
After him In his lifetime: Qur'an In his lifetime: Torah Writing down
of Revelation
Spiritual Spiritual/Legal Spiritual/Legal Nature of Teachings
Rejected by most Israelites Rejected, then accepted Rejected, then
accepted Acceptance of his Leadership - by his people
3. "... and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them
all that I shall command him." Each surah of the Holy Qur'an starts
with the phrase: "In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most
Merciful."
4. Deuteronomy 18:19: "And it shall come to pass that whosoever will
not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will
require it of him." It should also be noted that those who will not
hear or accept the message that he brings will be punished. This
corresponds with Surah 3:19: Truly the religion in the sight of Allah
is Islam and surah 3:85: And whoever desires a religion other than
Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will
be one of the losers.
-Art Thou That Prophet?
The Jews sent priests and Levites to John the Baptist to ask who he
really was. John 1:20-21: "And he [John the Baptist] confessed and
denied not; but confessed, 'I am not the Christ.' And they asked him:
'What then? Art thou Elias? 'And he saith: 'I am not.' 'Art thou that
prophet?' And he answered: 'No."'
The crucial question here is: Art thou that prophet? Who was the long
awaited prophet who was to come after the advent of Jesus and John the
Baptist? Was he not the one like unto Moses (Deuteronomy 18:18) who is
Muhammad?
-Comforter
John 14:16: "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever." Other Bibles use
"Consoler," "Advocate," "Helper."
Whatever the explanation is of the Comforter, we conclude that Jesus
left an unfinished work and that someone was coming to complete his
mission. Let us examine, in the light of the Bible, if this Comforter
fits the character of Prophet Muhammad:
 1. "Another Comforter": So many Comforters had come, and another one
was to come.
2. "That he may abide with you for ever": As there was no need for
another one to come after him, and he was the seal of all prophets.
The teaching will abide for ever and will remain intact. In fact, the
Qur'an and all of the teachings of Prophet Muhammad remain as they
were 1400 years ago.
3. "The Spirit of Truth" (John 16: 13). Since childhood, Prophet
Muhammad was called al-Amin, i.e., the Honest or Truthful One. This
person will also come and "he will guide you into all
truth: ..." (John 16:13).
4. "And he will show you things to come" (John 16: 13). Many
prophecies of Prophet Muhammad have already come to pass, and the rest
will be fulfilled in the future.
5. "He shall glorify me" (John 16:14). Actually, the Qur'an has more
reverence for Jesus than do the Bible and Christians themselves.

 Is Jesus The Son Of God? TRINITY  
a) Jesus denies his divinity
There are numerous accounts in the Bible which deny Jesus' divinity:
JOHN 1:18 TIMOTHY 6:16 EXODUS 33:20
JOHN 5:30 JOHN 8:50 JOHN 12:49
JOHN 20:17 MATTHEW 28:18 MATTHEW 12:28
LUKE 11: 20  ACTS 2:22 JOHN8:40
b) A Messenger
There are many verses in the New Testament supporting the messenger
ship / prophet hood of Jesus. The following are only a few: In Matthew
21:11, the people of his time are recorded as referring to Jesus as a
prophet: "And the crowds said, 'This is the prophet Jesus of Nazareth
of Galilee.' " In Mark, 6:4, it is stated that Jesus referred to
himself as a prophet: "And Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not
without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and
in his own house.' " In the following verses, Jesus is referred to as
having been sent as a messenger is sent. In Matthew 10:40, Jesus was
purported to have said: "He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he
that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me." In John 17:3, Jesus is
also quoted as saying: "And this is life eternal, that they might know
thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
c) A Man
For example, in Matthew 19:17, Jesus responded to one who addressed
him as "O good master", saying: "Why callest thou me good? There is
none good but one, that is God." If he rejected being called "good",
and stated that only God is truly good, he clearly implies that he is
not God.
In John 14:28, Jesus was saying: "The Father is greater than I."
Hence, he left no room for anyone to intelligently claim that he was
God.
Even in some of the writings of Paul, Jesus is referred to as a "man",
distinct and different from God. In 1st Timothy, 2:5, "For there is
one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
In the Gospel according to Mark 13:31-32, Jesus is also reported to
have denied having knowledge of when the final hour of this world
would be, saying: "..but of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither
the angels in the heaven nor the Son but the Father." One of the
attributes of God is omniscience, knowledge of all things. Therefore,
his denial of knowledge of the Day of Judgment is also a denial of
divinity, for one who does not know the time of the final hour cannot
possibly be God.
d) The Miracles
Unfortunately, those who claim divinity for Jesus, usually hold up his
miracles as evidence. However, other prophets were recorded to have
done the same or similar miracles in the Old Testament; For Example:
Similar Miracles from the Old Testament Jesus Miracles
Elisha fed 100 people with twenty barley loaves and a few ears of corn
(II Kings 4:44)
 Jesus fed 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fishes.
Elisha cured Naaman the leper (II Kings 5:14).
 Jesus healed lepers.
Elisha caused the blind to see (II Kings 6:17&20).
 Jesus caused the blind to see.
Elijah did the same (I Kings 17:22). So did Elisha (II Kings 4:34).
Even Elisha's bones could restore the dead (II Kings 13:21).
 Jesus raised the dead.
Moses and his people crossed the dead sea (Exodus 14:22).
 Jesus walked on water.
In the New Testament it is confirmed that Jesus did not act on his own
as in John 5:30, as saying: "I can of mine own self do nothing..." and
in Luke 11:20.

 Confutation of the "Evidence" for Jesus Divinity  
1. The Alpha and Omega
In the Book of Revelation 1, verse 8, it is implied that Jesus said
the following about himself: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to
come, the Almighty." These are the attributes of God. Consequently,
Jesus, according to early Christians, is here claiming divinity.
However, the above-mentioned wording is according to the King James
Version. In the Revised Standard Version, biblical scholars corrected
the translation and wrote: "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the
Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." A
correction was also made in the New American Bible produced by
Catholics. The translation of that verse has been amended to put it in
its correct context as follows: "The Lord God says: 'I am the Alpha
and the Omega, the one who is and who was, and who is to come, the
Almighty.' " With these corrections, it becomes evident that this was
a statement of God and not a statement of Prophet Jesus.
2. The Pre-existence of Christ
Another verse commonly used to support the divinity of Jesus is John
8:58: "Jesus said unto them, 'Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before
Abraham was, I am.' " This verse is taken to imply that Jesus existed
prior to his appearance on earth. The conclusion drawn from it is that
Jesus must be God, since his existence predates his birth on earth.
However, the concept of the pre-existence of the prophets, and of man
in general, exists in both the Old Testament, as well as in the
Qur'an. Jeremiah described himself in The Book of Jeremiah 1:4-5 as
follows: "Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, 'Before I formed
you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated
you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.' "
Prophet Solomon is reported in Proverbs 8:23-27, to have said, "Ages
ago I was set up at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When
there were...; before he had made the earth with its fields, or the
first of the dust of the world. When he established the heavens, I was
there."
According to Job 38:4 and 21, God addresses Prophet Job in a similar
way. Consequently, Prophet Jesus' statement, "Before Abraham was, I
am," cannot be used as evidence of his divinity. Within the context of
John 8:54-58, Jesus is purported to have spoken about God's knowledge
of His prophets, which predates the creation of this world.
3. The Son of God
Another of the evidences used for Jesus' divinity is the application
of the title "Son of God" to Jesus. However, there are numerous places
in the Old Testament where this title has been given to others:
-God called Israel (Prophet Jacob) His "son" Exodus 4:22-23, " ..
'Thus says the Lord, "Israel is my first-born son"
-God promised to make Prophet David His son in Psalms 89:26-27: "..I
will make him my first-born,."
-Angels are referred to as "sons of God" in The Book of Job 1:6, "Now
there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before
the Lord, and Satan also came among them."
-You can also refer to:
1Chro. 22:10
 Romans 8:14 Genesis 6: 2-4 Samuel 8:13-14
2Chro. 6:18
 Mat. 5:45 Psalms 2:7 Luke 3:38
Some claim that what is unique in the case of Jesus, is that he is the
only begotten Son of God, while the others are merely "sons of God".
However, God is recorded as saying to Prophet David, in Psalms 2:7, "I
will tell the decree of the Lord: He said to me, 'You are my son,
today I have begotten you.' "
It should also be noted that nowhere in the Gospels does Jesus
actually call himself "Son of God". Instead, he is recorded to have
repeatedly called himself "Son of man" (e.g. Luke 9:22) innumerable
times.
The expression "son of God" merely meant "Servant of God"; one who,
because of his faithful service, was close and dear to God, as a son
is to a father. Consequently, the use of the term "son of God" should
only be understood from the Semitic symbolic sense of a "servant of
God", and not in the pagan sense of a literal offspring of God. In the
four Gospels, Jesus is recorded as saying: "Blessed are the peace-
makers; they will be called sons of God."
4. One with God
Those who claim that Jesus was God, hold that he was not a separate
god, but one and the same God incarnate. They draw support for this
belief from different verses in the Bible; fore example, "..I am in
the Father and the Father in me?
These phrases would imply Jesus' divinity. However; Jesus is also
recorded as saying to his disciples, in John 14:20, , "In that day you
will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you." Thus,
if Jesus' statement "I am in the Father and the Father is in me" means
that he is God, then so were his disciples. This symbolic statement
means oneness of purpose and not oneness of essence. The symbolic
interpretation is further emphasized in John 17:20-21.
5. "In the beginning was the Word"
John 1:1&14, "1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God...." However, these statements were not made
by Jesus Christ, nor were they attributed to him by the author of the
Gospel according to John. Consequently, these verses do not constitute
evidence for Jesus' divinity, especially considering the doubts held
by Christian scholars about the Fourth Gospel. The Bible scholars who
authored The Five Gospels said: "The two pictures painted by John and
the synoptic gospels (i.e., the Gospels of Matthew, Mark & Luke)
cannot both be historically accurate. (see my explanations earlier,
please).

   Is The Bible God's Words? (Contradictions)
 Is the Bible God's Words? It is really important to start with this
question due to the fact that it is essential to have an authentic
base to start our discussion. My friend, let me be frank with you and
ask you these questions:
-how many versions of the Bible are available nowadays?
-Who has the authority to make any changes in the Bible; whether
deletion or addition?
-Do you know that King James' version 1611 was changed in 1952 with
fifty verses changes?
-In 1971 a number of verses where deleted, who did that?

The GENEALOGY OF JESUS?
In two places in the New Testament the genealogy of Jesus son of Mary
(PBUH) is mentioned.
Matthew 1:6-16 and Luke 3:23-31. Each gives the ancestors of Joseph
the CLAIMED husband
of Mary and Step father of Jesus.
The first one starts from Abraham (verse 2) all the way down to Jesus.
The second one starts
from Jesus all the way back to Adam. The only common name to these two
lists between David
and Jesus is JOSEPH, How can this be true? and also How can Jesus have
a genealogy when all
Muslims and most Christians believe that Jesus had/has no father.

   Was Jesus Crucified? (The Original Sin)
1. Willingness of Jesus Christ to Die for Our Sins:
Peter and the two sons of Zebedee were with Jesus Christ before the
elders of the people and the chief priests came to take him to crucify
him. Jesus at this point talked to Peter and the two sons of Zebedee
as in Matthew 26:38 "Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me." Then
Jesus went a little further way from them and prayed to God as in
Matthew 26:39 "And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and
prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from
me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."
It is very clear from the above verse in Matthew 26:39 that Jesus had
no intention of dying. In this verse it is shown that Jesus was
praying strongly (Matthew mentions that Jesus repeated these prayer
three time) to have this death removed from him. Had Jesus Christ been
sent to be crucified he would not have hesitated to be killed at all.
When I relate this to my Christian friends, they tell me that this
hesitation comes from the flesh side of him (in other words he was
tempted), and that his soul which is godly does not have this
hesitation at all. When we look at Matthew 26:38 we see that Jesus is
contradicting this idea by saying, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful,
even unto death." (Matthew 26:38). He himself says that it really his
soul that is hesitating and not his body. These are Jesus' own words.
2. God Answered the prayers of Jesus Christ:
After Jesus made the above mentioned prayer he was answered by God
according to Hebrews 5:7 "Who in the days of his flesh, when he had
offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto
him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he
feared." These words clearly show that when Jesus was praying strongly
to God, God would grant him his request. The word "heard in that he
feared" (Hebrews 5:7) mean that God granted him what he requested. So
the above verse shows that when Jesus asked of God to "let this cup
pass from" (Matthew 26:39) him, God respond to his prayer and saved
him from death or crucifixion.
3. Three days and three nights in the grave!?
People were asking Jesus Christ if he was going to show them a sign.
He replied by saying that the only sign that they should expect is the
sign of Jonas. Matthew 12:39-40 "But he answered and said unto them,
An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there
shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. For
as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so
shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of
the earth.  For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the
whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights
in the heart of the earth."
- Now let us see if this prophecy came to pass:
Jesus was crucified on Friday, this is certainly known among all
Christians, and that is the reason for calling that Friday by "Good
Friday". Jesus was buried on Friday night. Now let us start counting:
1. Friday night Jesus was buried. This is night number 1.
2. Saturday day Jesus was still in the grave. This is day number 1.
3. Saturday night Jesus was still in the grave. This is night number
2.
Mary Magdalene, very early in the morning before sun rise and after
the Sabbath, went to the see Jesus, and he was not there. The
following verses relate this event:
Mark 16:1-2 "And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary
the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they
might come and anoint him.  And very early in the morning the first
day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the
sun. Mark 16:5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man
sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they
were affrighted. Mark 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted:
Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not
here: behold the place where they laid him.
The number of days and nights that Jesus had spent in the heart of the
earth is 1 day and 2 nights. This clearly challenges what Jesus had
prophesied. When I tell this to my Christian brothers, some of them
responded by saying that what Jesus wanted to really say was that he
will be gone for a while, and not that he will be in the heart of the
earth for three days and three nights. This is clearly not the case.
Had Jesus meant that, he would have said it, but it is clear that he
wanted the people to know that this was a sign (miracle) and that it
will be like Joans' sign, and that he will be in the heart of the
earth for three days and three nights. These were his own words!!
Why Would Jesus Have to Die on the Cross?
According to the Christian doctrine, Jesus died on the cross as a
sacrifice for our sins. The idea here is that every human is born with
sins, or that all humans will sin, and therefore it was necessary that
someone as pure as Jesus would be the crucified to nullify these sins.
The question is; why does anyone have to die for our sins when God,
the All-Merciful, could as easily give us forgiveness if we ask for
it? Isn't God the one who makes the rules? Why does He have to make
someone suffer for our sins or for someone else's sins? Isn't that
unjust of Him? According to the Bible the way to redemption could be
obtained without the need for sacrifice. The Bible says:
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not
bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the
iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon
him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Ezekiel 18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he
hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful
and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Clearly the soul that sins shall die. Clearly that no one shall bear
the iniquity (sins) of others. So Jesus cannot bear the sins of others
either. If one is righteous then it shall be upon him, and if one
commits a sin then it shall be upon him, and not on Jesus. Finally,
the way to repentance and forgiveness is by turning from all sins,
doing what is right, and keeping the commandments.
Also we see the same message given by Solomon. He says in the book of
Ecclesiastes 12:13 "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of
man." This is the whole message, and this is the conclusion of
messages. It is that one should fear God, and keep the commandments,
and nothing else.
Again in 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from
their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land." This clearly states that to seek
forgiveness from God we have to humble ourselves, pray and seek God,
and turn away from wickedness.
Finally the Bible says in Samuel 15:22 "And Samuel said, Hath the LORD
as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the
voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to
hearken than the fat of rams." This clearly states that obeying God is
better that sacrifice whether this sacrifice is of objects, animals,
or humans, or any other type. What God likes is for us to heed and
obey Him, and if that is what God likes then it is not of Him to come
later and change his mind, and change his ways. God says in the Holy
Qur'an, "Verily God is All-Knowing, All-Wise" (Ch 9: Vr 28).
