The brother asked a question
that
even in Christianity,
like Islam,
God is 1
and God loves the creation.
And what is the difference between Islamic form
of worship
as compared to other form of worship? What
is so unique? And Christianity also says God
is 1. Christianity says that God also loves
Islam says God is 1. Islam says God
also loves the Christian. Islam says worship. Christianity
says worship. What is the difference between the
worship of Islam and Christianity? Or what is
the uniqueness about Islam as compared to other
religions? Mainly talking about Christianity. Brother,
on the face of it, if you read
the Quran correctly
and the interpretation I gave in my talk,
and if you read the Bible correctly, that's
the correct interpretation.
We believe
that Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, he
was one of the mightiest messengers of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
No Muslim is a Muslim if he does
not believe in Jesus Christ, peace be upon
him. We believe that he was born miraculously
without any male intervention. We believe that he
was the Messiah translated Christ. We believe that
he heals those born blind and leopards with
God's permission. We believe
that he gave life to the dead
with God's permission.
But
there are part in your face.
There are many Christians
who say that Jesus Christ, peace be upon
him, he claimed divinity.
Now the difference between what the Bible says
and the difference between what the Christians assume
and what they practice,
the the difference between that. So many Christians
say that Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
he claimed divinity. So when they say God
is 1, they say Jesus Christ, peace be
upon him, is God, which we Muslims take
objection to. There is not a single unequivocal
statement
in the complete Bible where Jesus Christ, peace
be upon him, says that I am God
or where he says, worship me.
So the form of worship for the normal
Christian is worshiping Jesus Christ, peace be upon
him. And I repeat my statement, there is
not a single unequivocal statement in the complete
Bible where Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
himself says that I am God or where
he says, Worship me. If any Christian can
show me any unequivocal statement in the Bible
where Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, says,
I am God or where he says, worship
me, I, Doctor. Zakir, I am ready to
accept Christianity today. I am ready to put
my head on the guillotine.
I don't speak on behalf of my other
Muslim brothers because if you read the Bible,
it it is mentioned in the gospel of
John, chapter number 14, verse number 28. Jesus
Christ, peace be be be, have only said
that my father is greater than I. Gospel
of John, chapter number 10, verse number 29.
My father is greater than all. Gospel of
Matthew, chapter number 12, verse number 28.
I, with the spirit of God, cast out
devils. Gospel of Luke, chapter number 11, verse
number 20. I, with the finger of God,
cast out devils. Gospel of John, chapter number
5, verse number 30. I can, of my
own self, do nothing. As I hear, I
judge. And my judgment is just. For I
seek not my will, but the will of
my father. Anyone who says I seek not
my will, but the will of almighty God
is a Muslim. Therefore, I said in my
talk that Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,
was a Muslim. Quran says that in Surah
Al Imran chapter 3 verse 52. It's further
mentioned in the Gospel of John chapter number
17 verse number 3, this is life eternal
so that you may know Jesus Christ whom
thou hast sent.
It's mentioned in the gospel of John, chapter
number 14, verse number 24.
The words you hear are not mine, but
my father's who has sent me.
It's clearly mentioned in the book of Acts,
chapter number 2, verse number 22. Emen of
Israel, listen to this, Jesus of Nazareth, a
man approved of God amongst you by wonders
and miracles which God did by Him and
you have witnessed to it. A man approved
of God amongst you by wonders and miracles
which God did by him and you witnessed
to it. So Jesus Christ, peace be upon
him, was one of the mightiest messengers of
God but he never claimed divinity. He never
said you should worship me. But unfortunately,
the Christian church today they teach that salvation.
Bible also talks about heaven, talks about *,
but the purpose of existence
is not mentioned in detail.
It's not mentioned at all except
what Paul has mentioned.
Paul mentioned in
Corinthians, chapter number 15.
He says, in the 1st Corinthians, chapter number
15, that
if Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, died
not for your sins, your faith is in
vain
and everything is in vain. That means Jesus
Christ, peace be upon him, he died for
your sins, according to Paul.
And the quote,
the verse of the Bible,
gospel of John chapter number 3, verse number
16, that for God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son, whosoever
believeth in Him shall not die but have
everlasting life. So the concept of salvation according
to the church is that you believe Jesus
Christ, peace be upon death, for your sins
and you shall go to Jannah. You shall
go to paradise,
which is not mentioned because the word begotten
from gospel of John chapter number 3 verse
number 16 has been thrown out by scholar,
the highest eminence from the RSV, revised version
of the bible, as a concoction, as a
fabrication, as interpolation.
So what they're following is more Pauline Christianity.
But Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, said,
when a person approaches him in the gospel
of Matthew, chapter number 19, verse number 16
and 17, that good master, what good thing
shall I do so that I shall gain
eternal life?
What good thing shall I do so that
I shall go to paradise?
So Jesus Christ peed upon replies, why thou
callest me good? There is none good except
1, there is almighty God. And if thou
want to enter eternal life, you follow the
commandments.
He didn't say that if you want to
go to Jannah, want to go to paradise,
you believe I died for your sins. He
never said that. He said follow the commandments.
And Jesus Christ, peace be upon us. It's
mentioned in the gospel of Matthew, chapter number
5, verse number 17 to 20. That think
not that I am come to destroy the
law of the prophets. I have come not
to destroy, but to fulfill.
Unless the heaven and the earth pass away,
not one daughter shall be passed away from
the law until all be fulfilled. And whosoever
shall keep the commandments and teach men to
do so shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven. And whosoever shall break one
of the least commandments
will be called least in the kingdom of
heaven. Unless your righteousness
exceeds the righteousness of the skies and the
Pharisees, in no way shall you enter into
paradise. Because if you want to be a
good Christian, you have to follow all the
commandments. There's only one God, you should not
do idol worship. All what Moses, peace be
upon him, said. So here we analyze if
we do a research of the biblical scriptures,
it is actually believing in one God, not
trinity.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Nisa
chapter 4171
don't say tinity.
This has stopped it better for you. So
if you say God is 3 in 1,
it is shirk.
You won't get salvation.
There's no statement at all about Trinity. The
word Trinity does not exist anywhere in the
Bible, but it's there in the Quran.
Beside Surah Nisa chapter 4, verse 171, it
is also there in Surah Mydah chapter number
5, verse number 73.
It says
They are doing kuf, they are blaspheming those
who say that God is the real one.
The word tinnitus doesn't exist anywhere in the
bible. The closest statement is the 1st epistle
of John, chapter number 5 verse number 7
which says, for there are 3 that bear
record in heaven, the Father, the Son and
the Holy Ghost and these 3 are 1.
And this verse of the bible by scholars
of the highest permanent Christian scholars.
In the revised standard version of the bible,
they've thrown this verse out of the bible
as interpolation, as a fabrication,
as a concoction. So the verse which come
closest to the renity, doesn't mention tinnity but
comes closest, is thrown out by the scholars
of Christianity as a fabrication.
So if he analyzed,
if you want to check what is right
in the bible, here is the furcan. This
is the criteria. It will tell you what
is right, what is wrong. And if you
compare with this, and even today if you
read the Bible, the Bible never claims that
Jesus is God, peace be upon him. It
says you should worship only 1 God. And
when Jesus Christ, peace be upon us, that
which is the first of the commandments, it's
mentioned in the gospel of Mark chapter number
12. Verse number 29 says,
It's a Hebrew quotation which means you're O
Israel, the Lord, our God is 1 Lord.
The problem is that if you read the
Bible, the exact purpose of creation is not
mentioned. It is vague. The Christian
church has taken up a teaching of Paul,
Saint Paul,
and says that you believe Jesus Christ, peace
be upon, died for our sins and you
will go to heaven. Then you do anything,
you rob, you *, you do anything
If he's paid for our sins. If Jesus
Christ, peace be upon, paid for our sins,
I can do anything.
For example, someone tells me to a restaurant,
go to the restaurant, eat what you want.
I've paid your bill. I can eat anything.
Chicken, mutton, biryani, anything I can eat. So
if Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, I
died for my sins,
then you can commit any sin and you
go to heaven, only have to believe that
he died for your sins. So this is
a concept of the church which is not
what the Bible mentions, and you can refer
to my video cassette similarities between Islam and
Christianity,
which gives the similarities.
That's the reason I say that Jesus Christ
taught nothing but Islam that is submitting the
will to Almighty God.
