Hi,

this is really strong. I prefer to leave Muslims alone. I stay with being Christian because I felt a connection with God, and saw the truth one day that I was living wrongly and ignorantly of God's wisdom. I recognized his wisdom and chose to live for Him according to His ways as written in the Bible.

I have not read the Quran, so I don't want to trust this comparison blindly. However, thanks a lot for sharing this chart. It provides a striking juxtaposition between Jesus' sayings in the Bible and in the Quran.

You can read the references, it's all there.
It's your choice to leave Muslims or not. you can ask the Holy Spirit where or which way he wants to use you.
For us, though, who live in majority Muslim country, it is one of clear great harvest field being done by the Holy Spirit.

Peace of Christ

It would be great to do a comparison between Islam and Catholisism, quite a few similarities I believe.

bowman seriously? lol he is saudi, he even posted the arabic tables.

Did you respond because you saw The links to youtube videos I posted above? Or you have checked all the sura and aya' he mentioned? The videos were stating though, Isa was even actually God from the islamic references. doesn't mean the table was wrong. Just showed how terribly mixed the hermeneutics of Islam were.

I have been studying Koranic Arabic for the past 15 years, and the comparisons made in the chart emanate from islam's poor interpretation of their book of faith.

These same poor interpretations have sadly made their way into mainstream thought...even so far as to pursuade Christians that they are true...

Most of these comparisons are untrue and misleading.

The authors of the Koran fully understood that Jesus is God....etc, etc....it is only islam and poor translations which attempt to omit this fact.
hey bro can u point out where it was misleading :)
for the point that u pointed out as Qur'an understood Jesus is God then u should change that so u might know that the auther of Qur'an understood Jesus as false God made by the desiples and u can check out those verse knowing that I am Saudi Arabian and I memorized Qur'an + I'm son of Islamic scholar here is those verse :

Sahih International
They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allah at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.

Yusuf Ali
In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things."

Shakir
Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely, Allah-- He is the Messiah, son of Marium. Say: Who then could control anything as against Allah when He wished to destroy the Messiah son of Marium and his mother and all those on the earth? And Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them; He creates what He pleases; and Allah has power over all things,

Sahih International
They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.

Muhsin Khan
Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.

Pickthall
They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the third of three; when there is no Allah save the One Allah. If they desist not from so saying a painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve.

Yusuf Ali
They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.

Shakir
Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is the third (person) of the three; and there is no god but the one Allah, and if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve.

Dr. Ghali
Indeed they have already disbelieved, the ones who have said, "Surely Allah is the third of three." And in no way is there any god except One God. And in case they do not refrain from what they say, indeed there will definitely touch the ones of them that have disbelieved a painful torment.

The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allah ." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved [before them]. May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?

Muhsin Khan
And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allah's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!

Pickthall
And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (Himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they!

Yusuf Ali
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!

And the Jews say: Uzair 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!

And the Jews have said, "cUzayr (i.e. Ezra) is the son of Allah. "And the Nasara (i.e. the Christians) have said, Al-Masih (The Messiah) is the son of Allah." That is their saying with their mouths, conforming with the saying of the disbelievers earlier. Allah fights them! However are they diverged (into) falsehood? .

Let's Start with this one...

When asked about Jesus’ Crucifixion, Muslims will invariably reference one ayah from the Koran, to support their conviction.

Islam bases an entire doctrine regarding Jesus’ crucifixion & death upon the cross, on a single solitary Koranic ayah.

And in this single solitary ayah, the entire doctrine teeters upon the rendering of a single solitary word (wama) – which Islam has misinterpreted as a negative.


The correct rendering of this ayah is as thus…




وقولهم إنا قتلنا المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول
الله وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهم وإن
الذين اختلفوا فيه لفي شك منه ما لهم به من علم
إلا اتباع الظن وما قتلوه يقينا

Waqawlihim inna qatalna almaseeha AAeesa ibna maryama rasoola Allahi wama qataloohu wama salaboohu walakin shubbiha lahum wa-inna allatheena ikhtalafoo feehi lafee shakkin minhu ma lahum bihi min AAilmin illa ittibaAAa alththanni wama qataloohu yaqeenan

4.157 And their saying: "Truly we killed The Messiah, Jesus, Mary's son, “allah's” messenger”, and that they killed him, and that they crucified him, and certainly they alike, and truly whom they differed in Him, certainly they (are) not in doubt from Him, on account of Him, from knowledge, except to follow the belief, and that they surely killed him.


To overcome the Muslim mindset, we need to first define the Arabic word that has been misinterpreted by Islam.

Here is the classic Arabic definition for "ma"...

ما = “ma”

“ma” definition:

Conjunctive pronoun. That; which; that which; whatsoever; what; as; as much; in such a manner as; as much as; as for as; any kind; when; how. Does not, as a rule, refer to reasonable things, but instances to the contrary sometimes occur. It is one of those particles, which, in conditional propositions, govern the verb in the conditional mood; it is frequently a mere expletive. It is also a negative adverb, Not; in general it denies a circumstance either present, or of past, but little remote from the present; it governs the attribute in the accusative, thus it is a negative particle when placed before the perfect as in 53.2; or before a pronoun as in 68.2; or before an demonstrative noun as in 12.31. The particle, when joined to the perfect, denies the past; when joined to the imperfect, the present.

The Dictionary of the Holy Qur’an, 1st edition, Abdul Mannan Omar, pp. 523 - 524
A Dictionary and Glossary of the Koran, John Penrice, pp. 135 - 136




As we can see below..."ma", when joined to "wa", is simply a filler-word in this ayah...


وقولهم إنا قتلنا المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول
الله وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهم وإن
الذين اختلفوا فيه لفي شك منه ما لهم به من علم
إلا اتباع الظن وما قتلوه يقينا

Waqawlihim inna qatalna almaseeha AAeesa ibna maryama rasoola Allahi wama qataloohu wama salaboohu walakin shubbiha lahum wa-inna allatheena ikhtalafoo feehi lafee shakkin minhu ma lahum bihi min AAilmin illa ittibaAAa alththanni wama qataloohu yaqeenan

4.157 And their saying: "Certainly we killed The Messiah, Jesus, Mary's son, “allah's” messenger”, and that they killed him, and that they crucified him, and certainly they alike, and truly whom they differed in Him, certainly they (are) not in doubt from Him, on account of Him, from knowledge, except to follow the belief, and that they surely killed him.



As witnessed by the plethora of positives in this ayah, the conditional mood is only positive.

Couple this, to the very next ayah, as thus…



بل رفعه الله إليه وكان الله عزيزا حكيما

Bal rafaAAahu Allahu ilayhi wakana Allahu AAazeezan hakeeman

4.158 But “allah”, he raised Him to him, and “allah” mighty, wise.




4.157 & 4.158 tell us of its most likely Biblical source...


This One given to you by the before-determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you having taken by lawless hands, having crucified Him, you killed Him. But God raised Him up, loosing the throes of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it. (Act 2.23 - 24)


As we can see, 4.157 & 4.158 are simply parroting NT material...


Thus, context is clear that in 4.157 “wama” is simply governing the verb in the conditional mood – which is positive….NOT negative.


Further, rendering this Islamic one-hit-wonder ayah as a negative would force other Koranic ayahs into contradiction.



As further evidence that 4.157 confirms Jesus’ death upon the cross, all the Koranic crucifixion instances are shown here, which confirm that the Koran always describes a crucifixion event with complete certainty of death…



• 5.33…they will be crucified till death
• 7.124…I will surely crucify you till death
• 12.41…so will be crucified till death
• 20.71…and I will surely crucify you till death
• 26.49…and I will surely crucify you till death



Death through crucifixion is always mandated in the Koran.

Thus, there is no reason at all to believe that 4.157 would break this trend…

4.157 --> Allah repeated what the Jews supposedly claimed. Although the Jews will never kill people who they claimed to be the Messiah (a stupid claim from allah).
For me, i go into the tafseer of early and most respected scholars in sunni world, namely Ibn Abbas and Jalalayn.

If you interpret to your own interpretation, brother bowman, no muslims will regard your interpretation. In both tafseer in the link above, it's clear that Allah made someone else looked like Jesus, that's why they thought that they killed Jesus.

We have to remember that tafsirs are little more than the unreferenced opinions of the writers.

An exegesis, on the other hand, details the reasoning behind the rendering with verifiable lexical, grammatical and concordial aids...

All of my renderings are fully backed by careful exegesis.

Yes, but what I gave you, for example one of them, Abdallah Ibn Abbas, was the cousin of muhammad and a man that was trusted very much by Muhammad. So at least, he has strong point (he lived 618-687) to understand the aya much more than you.
Can you give me any other scholars, at least, that would agree with your opinion? I wonder why I never heard such exegesis neither from ex-muslims who speak arabic as their mother tongue, let alone a muslim.

I have yet to encounter anyone who knows more about the true meaning of the Koran than I do.

The term 'Muhammad' (i.e Praised One) was NOT even a proper name when the Koran was written....and it applied to the Biblical Jesus when used the four times in the Koran.

Thus, to speak of someone named 'Muhammad' would be to speak of an islamic myth existing OUTSIDE that of the Koran itself, with little-to-no verifiable existence...

Gabriel Sawma has independently arrived at the same conclusion that I have...

lol you claim you know the true meaning of Koran than muhammad's cousin. yea right bowman.

no, muhammad changed his name because he is a narcist who wanted to be glorified, especially when his original name was QTHM (poison). are you now saying quran agrees with the bible and the quranic Isa is the same with Biblical Jesus? lol

well i don't know what further response can i make, but if you think you and that gabriel have come to the right conclusion, go on and try to explain that to any muslim you meet. it's your right to do so.

We are discussing the Koranic 'Muhammad'....not the ficticious islamic 'Muhammad'.





no, muhammad changed his name because he is a narcist who wanted to be glorified, especially when his original name was QTHM (poison). are you now saying quran agrees with the bible and the quranic Isa is the same with Biblical Jesus? lol

The Koran was written by early Arab Christians.

Again...you are confusing islamic myth with the Koran.



well i don't know what further response can i make, but if you think you and that gabriel have come to the right conclusion, go on and try to explain that to any muslim you meet. it's your right to do so.
There can be no doubt...

fictious? now you said he wasn't a real man? Koranic Muhammad ok now, which Muhammad are referred in Sura Muhammad (Sura 47)?
lol
Christians didn't write the qoran. what is your definition of Christians? muhammad stole some ideas from the bible, yes that's true. He might have heard some stories when he was helping his first rich wife trading with some Jews and Christians from around the region. what islamic myth? it's historical.

since I guessed this forum was established for visiting Muslim and ex-Muslim, do you know any Muslim or ex-Muslim that came out in line with your conclusion?
