CHAPTER ELEVEN
May it do the people who angered God (the Jews) and the polytheists much good in their learning and in their learned men.!!
Then we say:
«O you the people of the Trinity and the worshippers of the Cross,, and the people of damnation and indignation! What do you know about jurisprudence and Jim (Knowledge)!? What do you know about anything a propos when you deny it to the Companions of Muhammad who, and their disciples, are like the prophets of tl
people of lsrael!?. Could a person distinguish between the scholar and the ignorant men and know the scope of the scholars and the ignorant men, and know the high status of the scholars other than one who is one of them and is counted among them !? As for the people whose scholars God likened to donkeys carrying Books. Of the people whose scholars say about God that which no other people who glorify and revere Him would ever accept, or those who call their religion from every liar and calumniator. They are like a naked man fighting a heavily armed man, and like a man on the ceiling whose house is made of glass and he is tossing stones on people living inside a castle. It is not too much of an act for a people who say about God and His Messenger what they said to accuse the most knowledgeable of men of being commoners. Let the people’s indignation be pleased with the Mishnah and the Talmud and the light they contain against God and His prophet to whom he (Moses), and what their rabbis and the scholars of evil among them narrate to them at all times. Let them be pleased with the learning that indicated to them that God «regretted» the creation of human beings till He felt deeply distressed, and He wept over the Flood till His eyes became sore, and the angels comforted Him, and guided them to plea in their prayers saying:
“O our God! wake up from your slumber, you sleep too much”
Let these learnings please them. They incite Him to compromise His pride in front of them and return to them their kingdom. Let the stray people be pleased with their sciences through which the deviated from all the teachings of the prophets, and diverged gross from the teachings of the Messiah: a diversion that their scholars
started to realise in every matter, as I shall explain later on, and their sciences through which they said about the Lord of the Worlds what they said, that would have had the heavens split and the earth cleave and the mountains crumble had not the Most Kind, the Most Patient, held them together. And their learnings which indicated to them the Trinity, the worshipping of the wood of the Cross and the pictures painted with streaks of gold and cinnabar, and directed them to the saying of their scholar Aphreem that the hand that mixed the clay cast of Adam is the same hand that was nailed on the Cross, and the same span of hand that created the heavens; and the saying of their scholar Ariqoodis (This, and in the Mujannad, Gregorius, the name of several popes, etc.):
He who says that Mary is not the mother of God is out of the salvation of God.
The sins of the nations cannot defame neither the Messengers nor their message.
The asker said:
«We see in your midst most of the abominations practised by supposedly knowledgeable and jurisprudent people: abominations like adultry, sodomy, betrayal, jealousy, avarice, treachery, display of haughtiness and strength, arrogance, conceitedness, shortage in piety and belief, shortage in mercy, chivalry and enthusiasm, excess in panic, doggish coveteousness and wordly affairs, indolence toward good things. Such a state belies what the tongue unties.»
The answer is from various aspects:
1 -What do the Messengers have to do with the sins of their people and their followers?!. Does that in any way slander the prophethood or change the context of their message?!. with the different kinds and sorts of misdeeds by large; was anybody spared and saved from sins other than the Messengers, peace be upon all of them !?. Is it conceivable to reject their message and disbelieve in them because of the misdeeds of some of their followers?! This would be like a sick man who is advised by his physician to follow a course of treatment to fully recover; but the sick man said:
«If you were a doctor, why did so-and-so fall sick?»
Is it a stipulated condition on the Messengers to cure all of the sick people till no sick person is left uncured in the world!?. Did anybody show such a measure of obstinacy against the Messengers comparable to this?!.
The misdeeds of the monotheist Muslims compared to the cardinal sins of the Jews and the Nazarenes are like a spit in the sea.
2-The second is that the misdeeds and the sins are common occurrences among all peoples. Among the different breeds of the children of Adam there is still the learned and the ignorant, the self denying and the self-indulging, the commander and the commanded. This is not a special trait attributed to this nation for others to find
excuses to vilify it along with its prophet.
3-The misdeeds and the sins do not contradict the belief in the Messengers, and as a matter of fact, Islam, faith, misdeeds and sins can all coexist in a Muslim servant of God in different ways and degrees. Sins do not contradict faith in the Messengers, even if these misdeeds vilify its completion and perfection in the soul of a person.
4-Sins are forgiven through sincere repentance . If the wrongdoings of a servant of God reached the clouds of the sky and the number of the sand particles and the pebbles, then he repents, God will forgive him. The Most High said:
“Say: O my servants who have transgressed against their souls! despair not of the Mercy of God: for God forgives all sins: for He is oftForgiving, Most Merciful.“ (al-Zumar: 53)
This is what is awaiting the repentant. Repentance purges all that took place prior to it. The repentant from a wrongdoing is like a person who did not commit it. The declaration of the Oneness of God expiates for the wrong doings as the authentic and divine hadith states:
«O sons of Adam! If you come to Me with about the earth full of sins, and come to Me joining no partners to Me, I will meet you with about its fill of forgiveness.»
So the misdeeds of the Muslims are those of a monotheist: if his belief in the Oneness of God is strong enough, it will obliterate their traces in totality, or else, if they are to be chastised for their misdeeds, their belief in the Oneness of God will ensure the way out of Hell. As for the polytheists and the disbelievers, their joining of partners to God, and their disbelief will devalue their good deeds. They would have no deed good enough before God to qualify them for salvation.
He will not forgive any of their misdeeds. The Most High said:
“God forgives not that partners should be set up with Him; put He forgiveth anything else, to whom he pleaseth; to set up partners with God is to devise a sin most heinous indeed. “(al-Nisa: 48)
Describing the unbelievers and the polytheists, the Most High said:
“And We shall turn to whatever deeds they did (in this life) and we shall make such deeds as floating dust scattered about.” (al-Furqaan: 23)
The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said:
«God has ordained to refuse any deed from a polytheist».
The traces of misdeeds vanish through sincere repentance, pure belief in monotheism, charities that efface misdeeds, calamities that chastise them, and the intercession of monotheist intercessors. At the end of that, what is left due, will get the wrongdoer out of Hell through the belief in the Oneness of God, where joining partners to God, and disbelief in the Messenger of God will take away the good deeds and no single good deed is accepted alongside.
Some of the scandals of the Jews and their abominable deeds.
If this asker is one of the people who angered God, one of the brothers of monkeys, it should be said to him that he should be ashamed of himself to bring up such a question, for his forefathers and predecessors used to witness everyday signs no other nation
witnessed before. God parted the sea for them and rescued them from their enemies, and where Moses feet not dried out yet from the sea water, they said to him:
“O Moses! fashion for us a god like unto the gods they have. He said: Surely ye are people without knowledge. “(al-A’araaf: 138)
And when he went to the meeting point with his Lord they did not wait long: after his departure, they worshipped the moulded calf. His brother Aaron was overcome by them and could not stop them. In spite of their witnessing these signs and miracles, many a time they were on the verge of stoning Moses and his brother Aaron while the revelation was being manifested in their midst!. When he called them to Jihad, they said:
“Go thou and they Lord and fight ye two, while we sit here (and watch).” (al-Ma’idah: 24)
They inflicted different kinds of harm on him. They even said: «He is “ader-ay”»
that is he has a swollen testicle, and that is why he bathes himself alone. Once he went to have a bath. He put his clothes on a rock, the rock rolled down with his clothes. He ran after it naked, and they looked at him and saw that he is one of the finest of God’s creation in his naked body. Again, when his brother Aaron died, they said:
«Moses killed him and hid his body».
Then the angels lifted his coffin between the sky and the earth for them to see, and after examining his body they made sure he is dead. And they preferred to return to Egypt, to slavery, to fill their bellies eating meat, onion, garlic, cucumber, and lentils. This is the way with them!. What God recounted about them is that they chose this against Manna and quails, and that they indulged themselves in fornication while M oses was in their midst, and their enemy was facing them; but they weakened in front of him and could not gain against him, and these are known facts about them. It is also known that after the era of Joshua bin Noon they worshipped idols, and one should not forget their resort to trickery to hunt whales on the Sabbath till they were transmuted to contemptible moneys, and their killing of the prophets out of sheer aggression to the point that they massacred seventy prophets in one day. They committed their slaughter at the beginning of the day and set up the market at the end of the day as if the human beings they slaughtered were sheep. This incident is a well known fact. And their killing of Yahya bin Zakariah: they severed his body to pieces using a see-saw. And their adamant and relentless insistence in committing cardinal sins, and their conspiracy in altering many of the laws of the Torah, and their accusation to Lot to having committed incest with both of his daughters who bore children to him, and their accusation to Joseph that he dropped down his clothes and sat naked in front of the wife of al-Azeez (Ozair) like a woman would sit split in front of a midwife, and the hand palm of Jacob came out while he was biting his fingers. Then he ran away. Thus was their accusation to Joseph where if the most dissolute and the most profligate of men would have seen him as such he (Joseph) would have been striken with shame before he would have committed such an alleged sin. And their allegiance to the rebel against the son of Solomon bin David when he put in front of them two golden ram statues: they embarked on worshipping them, and the believers- who were fighting to the
side of the son of Solomon- took their places, and in one battle many thousands of their men were killed. Do not the worshippers of rams and cows feel ashamed of themselves to defame the monotheists for their misdeeds!? Do not the progeny of the prophets slayers feel ashamed of themselves to shame the fighters of God’s enemies!?.
The progeny of those whose swords dribble with the blood of the prophets, cannot be compared to those whose swords dribble with the blood of the unbelievers and the polytheists?. Does not he feel ashamed of himself he who says in his prayer:
«Watch out, O how much you sleep O Lord!. Wake up from Your slumber».
trying to poke Him to wake up?! . How could this be compared to the saying of him who says in his prayer:
“In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Praise be to God, The Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds; Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgement. Thee do we worship, and thine aid we seek. Show us the straight way, The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed thy Grace, Those whose (portion) Is not wrath, and who go not astray.”(al-Fatihah: 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6- 7- )
As such, if the misdeeds of the Muslims outnumber the pebbles, the sand, and the souls, they would not reach the level of atrocity of killing one single prophet, and would not reach the level of the saying of the monkeys’ brothers:
“Truly, God is indigent and we are rich! “(al-Imran: 181)
And their saying:
“Uzair a son of God, “(al-Tawbah: 30)
And their saying:
“We are sons of God,”(al-Maidah: 18)
And their saying:
«The Lord wept over the Flood till His eyes became sore and the
angels came to comfort Him.»
and their saying:
«He bit His fingers» over that.
and their saying:
«He regretted the creation of mankind and it fell too harsh on Him when He saw their sins and wrong doings.»
And even what is more detestful than that is the attribution of all of this to the Torah that He sent down upon His prophet to whom he spoke! No matter to what extent the misdeeds of the Muslims reach, compared to the obscenities they uttered against God, they are like an insignificant spit in the sea. Do not forget the story of their predecessors with Saul the rebel against David. The majority of them ganged up with him and encouraged him to wage war against David. Then when they returned to obey David, and their delegations and troops came asking for forgiveness and competing in their offerings of apologies, one of them thrusted forward from among the crowd and shouted to the full extent of his voice pitch:
«We have no luck neither with David nor with Saul. Let everyone among you O people of lsrael go back to his tent.»
As soon as he said that, the troops of the people of Israel returned to their tents. When this shouter was killed, all the troops returned to the service of David. They behaved like a savage mob gathered by the beat of a drum and dispersed by the waving of a stick!
The division of the Jews and their Fabrication of a book in the art of Slaughtering animals for food.
And this nation which angered God, though scattered into many splinter groups, is divided into two main groups: the sacrifice offerers, and the rabbis. They had jurisprudence predecessors who classified for them two books: one of them is called the Mishnah and it is about eight hundred pages, and the second, called the Talmud, is about half the portage of a mule in weight, its authors were not of the same era; they wrote it through a span of time of many generations, and the latter generations kept adding to what the former authors wrote . The latter additions contain material contradictory to the former. Then they realised that if they do not close the permission to further addition, it would end up in a preposterous defectiveness. They cut off the permission to any further addition and restricted it on their jurisprudents and made it unlawful to add anything else. The book contents stopped at this point.
In these two books, their jurisprudence scholars made it unlawful for them to eat with anybody of a religion different from theirs. They put a restriction on them to eat the meat of an animal slaughtered by a people of a different religion because they knew that their religion may die out being under humiliation, slavery, and the subjugation of other nations. To preserve their identity, their jurists had no choice other than to ward them off from mixing with people of other religions. They made it unlawful for them to marry outside their religion and to eat from the slaughtered animals of non- coreligionists. They could have not done that without the fabrication of novelties of their own through which they can lie to God. The Torah made it unlawful to them to marry outside their religion lest they follow the lead of outsiders in worshipping idols and disbelieving in God. And they made it unlawful for them to eat from the slaughtered animals of people who slaughter the animals as they are offering to the idols, and because the name of someone other than God i’ll invoked in the process. Where the name of God is mentioned before the slaughtering of the animal for food, and where it is done in thanks to God; the Torah does not state anything at all stipulating its unlawfulness. On the contrary, it makes it lawful to eat from the hands of other nations. And Moses especially forbade them from marrying idol-worshippers and from eating what they slaughtered in the name of idols. They said: «The Torah forbids us from eating Tarifa.»
And it was to them that « Tarifa» is the prey left-over of the lions, wolves, and other carnivores. The Torah states:
«Do not consume the meat of a prey in the desert. Throw it away for the dogs to eat.»
When their jurists realised that the Torah does not forbid then from eating other nations food, except that of idol worshippers, and it declares that eating other peoples’ food and mixing with them was forbidden out of fear that intermixing may lead to inter-marriage
followed by conversion to other religions, and hence to paganism. When they realised that all of that is clearly stated in the Torah, they** art of slaughtering. They put in it nitty-gritty stipulations and restrictions enough to preoccupy their (The Jewish populace) mind away from the humiliation, the belittlement, and the shame they were living in. they (the jurists) commanded them to inflate the lung (of the slaughtered animal) with air and see if air comes out from a hole in If it does, then it is ordained as unlawful. If some parts of the lung are stuck together they would not eat it. They bid the person with checked the slaughtered animal to put his hand inside its belly with his fingers if the heart sticks to the back or to the sides. It does, even by a small vein as tiny as a hair, they forbade eating it a called it «Tarifa:» which means in their tongue “unclean”, and her unlawful. This naming is a transgression from their side because their language means: In the prey killed by a carnivore . In the language there is no other meaning to it. That is why, as stated in the Torah, when Joseph’s brothers brought his shirt stained with blood in the course of their talk, Jacob said:
«Taroof, taroof Yusif»
that is: a bad beast devoured Joseph. The Torah states:
«Do not eat the prey meat of he desert»
That is what the Torah ordained as unlawful. This verse was sent down to them when they were lost in dispersion, and the craving to eat meat became unbearable, and they were forbidden from eating the prey and the corpses of animals. Then they got lost in the differences, in myths and hallucinations relating to the lungs, and said that any of the slaughtered animals which is free from the defects is «Dukhia» that is clean, and that the rest is « Tarifa» thaat unclean and unlawful. Then they said that His saying in the Torah:
«Do not eat the prey meat of the desert, throw it to the dogs to eat.»
means that if you slaughter an animal for food and it does not fulfil these conditions, do not eat it but sell it to people of other religions. And His saying:
«throw it to the dogs to eat». means those of a different religion who are considered as dogs, sell it to them to eat. So ponder (the reader) on this alteration and this lie against God, the Torah, and Moses. For this reason God revealed their transgression
fabricating the unlawfulness of this. In the surah revealed in Madina addressing the people of the Book, He said:
“So eat from the good, lawful things which Allah has provided for you, and be grateful for Allah’s favours, if you ˹truly˺ worship Him ˹alone˺. He has only forbidden you ˹to eat˺ carrion, blood, swine,1 and what is slaughtered in the name of any other than Allah. But if someone is compelled by necessity—neither driven by desire nor exceeding immediate need—then surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (al-Nahl: 114-115-)
“say: I find not in the message received by me by inspiration any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine,- for it is an abomination- or, what is impious, (meat) on which a name has been invoked, other than God’s But (even so), if a person is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- thy Lord is oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. * For those who followed the Jewish Law, we forbade every (animal) with undivided hoof, and we forbade them the fat of the ox and sheep, except what adheres to their backs or their entrails, or is mixed up with a bone: this in recompense for their wilful disobedience; for We are True (in our ordinances).” (al-Anaam: 145-146-)
This is an ordained unlawfulness in excess to the four precedent ones. And in the sura of al-Nahl which was sent down after the preceding surah, He said:
“To the Jews we prohibited such things as we have mentioned to thee before: We did them no wrong, but they were used to doing wrong to themselves.”(al-Nahl: 118)
That is what is ordained as unlawful to them in both texts: the Torah and the Quran.
The «sacrifice offerers» the people of Ayan and Benjamin, looked into these atrocious alterations, these monstrous calumnies, and cold falsehood against God, the Torah, and Moses, and realised that the people of the Talmud and Mishnah are spreading falsehoods against God, the Torah, and Moses, and that they were people of silliness
and imprudence, and that their followers and religious men allege that when their jurists have different opinions in these matters and in others, God reveals to them through a voice they hear saying:
«In this matter the right is on the side of such-or-such a jurist»
and they call this voice «Beth Qawl». When the sacrifice offerers looked into this untenable lying, they said:
«Those people went astray and it is unlawful to accept any telling or fatwa from a trespasser.»
And they opposed them in most of what they introduced as genuine and which did not occur in the text of the Torah. These trivialities their jurists composed-and whom they call «Hakhams» (rabbis) in the art of slaughtering, and which they attributed to God were all refused by the «sacrifice offerers» and were all abolished. However, the «sacrifice offerers» ended up making none of the animals they slaughter for food as unlawful, and among them there are jurists who wrote extensively a propos; but they too exaggerated in lying against God. They were believers in abstract phenomena,
where the former were believers in induction and other means of thinking.
The second sect, called the « Rabbaneyoun» (Who follows the rabbis), counts more in number and includes the Hakhams (rabbis) who were in the habit of lying against God: they alleged that God used to talk to them in every matter through the voice that they call «Bethqawl». The followers of this sect are the most hostile of the Jews to other people. The Hakhams (rabbis) deluded them into believing that none of the slaughtered animals is lawful if it does not fulfil the conditions they stipulated. The rest of the nations do not know these stipulated conditions which are only this sect characteristic
speciality. They think that God had honoured them with these impositions out of an outstanding prestige, and this ended up in them looking down on other people like one would look down on a four legged creature, and in looking at other peoples’ slaughtered animals as corpses. As for the «sacrifice offerers» most of them converted to
Islam, and their adherence to outward signs without altering them helped them in being more prepared to embrace Islam. And this is for two reasons:
1 -Their lack of trust and their suspicion in the jurists who spread and teach falsehoods against God.
2-Their adherence to the outward signs without altering them and changing their meanings.
As for the rabbis followers, their jurists and Hakhams (rabbis) enclosed them in such a narrow scope as small as the eye of a needle by what they imposed upon them of restrictions, fetters and shackles on top of the fetters and shackles that God ordained to restrict them without of punishment for their transgressions. The jurists had several motives behind these restrictions:
I -Their intention to antagonise the beliefs of other nations by overdoing their claims as a deterrent for their people not to mix with them lest, otherwise, they may run into the risk of agreeing with them and consequently leading them to walk out from the Sabbath and Judaism all together.
2-Being dispersed on earth (Diaspora) eastward, westward, southward, and northward, as the Most Sublime said:
“We broke them up into sections on this earth, there are among them some that are the righteous, and some that are the opposite. We have tried them with both prosperity and adversity: in order that they might turn (to us).”(al-Aaraaf: 168)
The despicable tricks of the Hakhams (Rabbis)
There is no group of them settled in a town, but a man of their religion comes to them from a far land showing them toughness in his religion and exaggeration in circumspection. If he happens to be one of the religious jurists, he would embark on denying them things, and deluding them, taking advantage of their shallow religiousness and little knowledge. And the more he exaggerates in his restrictions, the
more credits they give him as a scholar. In their perception, the more restrictive the jurist the greater he is. One notices that the first thing he does when he visits them is abstaining from eating from their food and slaughtered animals. He would watch closely the knife of the butcher and deny him some of his matters and say:
«I would not eat from anything other than what I slaughter with my own hand.»
One notices their confusion and pain in his dictate, and they say:
«This is a foreign savant who has come to visit us.»
He would never stop denying them what is lawful and tightening on them the restrictions and the shackles, and he keeps opening to them the doors of the forbidden and the artful. The more he stipulates restrictions on them, the more enthused they become, and they say:
«This is the godly savant and the eminent Hakham (Rabbis)»
If their chieftain finds that he appealed to his tribesmen and his speech was accepted, he weighs himself up to him. If he finds that he was despised and refuted, he refutes him as well, for the people, in general, are inclined to side with the stranger whereas they attribute to their companion ignorance and a shortage in religious feeling. They would not believe him because the stranger had appealed to them through his dictates and restrictions, and, to their understanding, the more restrictive the man is, the greater a jurist he is. The chieftain ignores what he really sees in him, and starts praising and thanking him. He says:
«May God multiply his recompense many times for he has strengthened the law of the religion in the heart of the people. May He raise structures on the foundation of his teachings and consolidate the fence of jurisdiction»
His speech reaches the comer and he says:
«There is no one in your midst more erudite in jurisprudence and knowledge in the Torah.»
When he meets him he says:
«God made you an adornment to our people, and through you He brought back life to our sect!! !»
If this visitor to them was one of the rabbis, they would see the strangest of the strange in the law he applies and in the novel rules he teaches, and nobody objects to him; but to the contrary, you see them all surrendering to him where he is taking their milk and procuring their dirhams. If he (the chieftain) receives news that a jew contested against him (the visiting rabbi), he would wait for the contester till he happens to see him sitting on the side of the road on a Sabbath day, or till he tells him that he bought milk or wine from a Muslim, or that he broke some of the rules of the Mishnah and the Talmud. Then he makes these things unlawful to Jews. He would put his honour in
their hands that he is telling the truth, that these things are a breakaway from Judaism. When the situation becomes unbearable to the chieftain, he would find no choice other than to reconcile between the contestant and the visiting rabbi. He would say to the Jews:
«So-and-so has regained his senses, returned to the truth, and refrained from disobeying him. He is now a Jew.»
Then the crowd would start honouring him again and praising him.
A part of their law is the obligatory marriage of the widow to her ex-husband’s brother ( Levirate)
And I mention to you one of the matters in their altered or transcribed law known as the matter of the «Beama & Jaloos» . It states that as mentioned in the Torah if two brothers live in the same place and one of them died without having a son, the wife of the deceased cannot marry outside the family; she can only get married to her in-laws, and the first born boy will be attributed to his current brother. If he refuses to marry her, she can raise a complaint to the chieftain of his tribe against him saying:
«My in-law refused to preserve the continuation of a name to his late brother among the people of lsrael, and he refused to marry me.»
The chieftain council would summon him and delegate him to stand up before its members and utter his refusal that he does not want to marry her. The woman would reach his shoe, take it off his foot, hold it in her hand, and spit at his face saying to him:
«That is what should be done to the man who does not build the house of his brother.»
Thereafter, he will be called: «the renounced shoe» and his children will be called as such. This is meant to encourage him to seek shelter by marrying her because if he knows that this marriage is dictated on him and on the woman, perchance he feels ashamed and humiliated to go through the process of having his shoe taken off, his
face spat at, and having to bear the reprehensible title continuously a shame on him and on his children, and would find no way out from marrying her. If he cannot stand her and he dislikes her and finds it easier to bear the reprehensible title than to inflict upon himself the plight of marrying her, he would not be coerced to marry her. This is mentioned in their Torah. Corollary to this rule a subsidiary version emerged, and that is he would not be coerced if he wants to marry her out of love where she abhors him. To this version they innovated a rule most inequitable and most scandalous: if she brings her complaint to the ruler, her in-law will be summoned to come with her after she would have been instructed to say to the ruler:
«My in-law does not want the name of his late brother taken amidst the people of Israel, and he refuses to marry me.»
where he is actually her lover. They compel her to lie against and that she wants to marry him but he refuses. If she says that ruler will compel him to stand up and say:
«I do not want to marry her.»
where marrying her is his ultimate wish and ardent desire. I compel him to lie against her. His shoe is then taken off with manhandling or beating him, but he is still spat at on the face as rebuked as: this is the recompense for him who does not build the house of his brother. It was not enough for them to have lied to but they also brought shame on shame, compelled him to lie, so his face, and indicted him with the wrongdoings of others. As it is.
«A crime brought about by shameless men, and the perpetrator reaped the punishment.»
Does not he feel ashamed of himself to defame the Muslim whose rules and religion are as such?!
What the brothers of monkeys met of humiliation and belittlement from the different nations and states and which led to the obligation of the landmarks of their religion and their tricks.
It is not inconceivable that the people who angered God sent minds on cunningness and agree on a variety of blasphemie profanities. When a nation loses its statehood through defeat and capture of their land by a conqueror, the facts of its former his leave no clear traces, and the important features of its religious heritage are wiped out, and, consequently, tracing the belief predecessors followed becomes a daunting and an inaccessible. This is because the loss of a statehood of a nation is but the rest successive raids, destruction of the land and burning it, an emigration of its people. These plights keep pouring on and continue till the features of its religion fade away untraceably, the roots law dwindle, and the tenets of its religion disappear. The old nation is, and the more defeats and humiliation it undergoes different invaders, the more is the extent of obliteration of religion. The people who angered God had deserved a taste of more than any other nation. It is the most ancient of most nation was conquered by all sorts of invaders from the Kindian **
Nazarenes. None of these nations wished anything less than eradicating them, burning their books, and destroying their lands till no city, no army, and no fortress was left to them except in Hijaz and khaybar where they kept on living with an unblemished honour. When Islam emerged and God declared His Holy Presence form the mountain of Faraan, they were living under the rule of the Persians and the Nazarenes. The little band living in Hijaz and Khaybar was not spared: on the hands of the Muslims, God gave them the taste of being killed, taken prisoners, and having the land destroyed as a
punishment for their wrongdoings as He punished their companions (elsewhere) for the same reasons. They were living together (The Tribes: al-Asbhaat) and did not suffer evacuation. Then God ordained dispersion on them and tore them apart in every way
through Islam, although they were never treated better and felt more secure with any nation other than that of the Muslims. What befell them at the hands of the Nazarenes, the Persians, and the pagans is incomparable to the little inconvenience they felt under the Muslims. Such is what befell them through their rebellious kings who killed the
prophets, exaggerated in their demands, worshipped idols, brought in from the land a gate – keeper to the idols to glorify them and glorify the rituals of their worship, built them altars and temples, and indulged in worshipping them leaving behind the ordinances of the Torah and the Law of Moses for many long continuous ages. If the
matter with them and their kings was as such; how would one think the matter would be with their enemies, their avowed enemies like the Nazarenes who accuse them to have killed the Messiah, to have crucified him, slapped him, spat on his face, and put a wreath of thorns on his head!?. How could there be their enmity to the Persians, to the Chaledaens, and to others!?.
Their prayer is an imprecation to God against the nations, and telling lies about God, Most Sublime, Most Holy.
Many times the Persian kings prohibited thein from circumcision. Many a times they also prohibited them from praying because they knew that most of their prayer is an invocation to God to make the lands of other nations lie fallow, and to destroy their
lands except the land of Canaan. When they (the Persian kings) found their prayer as such they prevented them from praying. When the Jews realised that the Persians were serious in preventing them from praying, they invented supplications they mixed their prayer with and called them: «Khazana». They coined many tunes to them and started to get together to chant and intonate them. The difference between «khazana» and «prayer» is that the latter is read without a tune, and the praying person prays solitary, where the former is intonated in a group. When the Persians attempted to deny them the «Khazana» they said to them that they were only singing and deploring themselves. Then the Persians left them alone intonating. Then the nation of lslam emerged and they lived under the auspices of the Muslims utterly safe and secure. They enjoyed the
freedom of praying in their synagogues, and the « Khazana» became a tradition among them practised during fetes, holy seasons, and festivities. They got accustomed to practising it on the expenses of prayer proper.
Surprisingly enough, in spite of the loss of their state, the break up of their unity and their knowledge of the wrath that befell them through the long continuous anger, their transmutation to monkeys due to their killing of the prophets, their aggression on the Sabbath, their walking out from the law of Moses and the Torah, and their hampering to these laws, everyday they say in their prayer «love of the time»:
« Love us O our Lord ! O our Father! you are our rescuing Father.»
They also liken themselves to bunches of grape and the rest of the nations to the thorn fence surrounding the vineyard to protect it. And they believe that God will raise for them a prophet from the progeny of David; a prophet when he moves his lips invoking, all the nations will fall down dead and no one will stay on the surface of the earth other than the Jews. According to their allegation, he is going to be the promised Messiah. In their prayer they urge God to wake up from his recumbency – as they allege He is- and they encourage and enthuse Him, Most Sublime is God. He is above their falsehood and their straying from the Right Path. The error this nation which angered God is drowned in, their lies and prevarication against God, His religion, and His prophets exceed anything else.
As for their practices of usury, ill-gotten deals, bribery, their high-handedness aside from all the people of the world in malice, wiliness, false accusation, extreme avidity to worldliness, cruelty, ignominy, lowness, disgrace, use of deception in getting around things with vile ulterior motives, accusing innocent people with wrongdoings, and defaming the prophets, these are the easiest thing for them to do. What they mentioned and what they concealed in marrying the Muslims with is but a projection of what is in some of them and not all of them. Their prophet, his Book, his religion, and his law are free of them. As for their disobedience and wrongdoings before the prophets, this matter is in the hands of God. To Him is their return and their judgement.
The fundamentals of the Nazarene religion are built on the vilification of God and joining partners to Him. The fable of redemption.
Before the strayed people, the worshippers of the Cross and the images painted on the walls and the ceilings, concoct something to defame the Muslims with, should not they first feel ashamed!.
These are the roots of those whose religion is entrenched in the belief that the Lord of the heavens and the earth (Blessed be He, Most Exalted in Might) descended from the Authority of His Greatness and Throne and entered the vagina of a woman who eats, drinks, urinates, evacuates her bowels, and menstruates?. Then He got attached to the inside of her abdomen (uterus) and dwelled there for nine months wobbling between excrement, urine, and menstrual blood?. Then he was born to be swaddled, put in the cradle, and each time He cried his mother breast-fed Him?. Then he went to the Maktab (School) alongside other boys. Then He ended up being slapped on the cheeks by the Jews, in ridiculing Him and violating His Sanctity. Then they dragged Him to an instrument (the Cross) assigned to inflict excruciating pain and torture on its rider. Then they put Him on it, tied Him with ropes and nailed His hands and feet to it while He was crying and weeping and calling out for help from the heat of the iron and the pain of the crucifixion, and yet He is the one who created the heavens and the earth, gave us our daily bread, and appointed death times! But His wisdom and Mercy ordained that He lets His enemies get hold of Him and inflict on Him what they did so that they would deserve the punishment and the dwelling in Hellfire, and that He would redeem his prophets, His Messengers, and His devotees by sacrificing Himself to bring them out of Satan’s prison! !??.
To them, the souls of Adam, Abraham, Noah, and the rest of the prophets were in Satan’s prison in Hell till he rescued them by letting His enemies crucify Him!!
The saying of the donkey’s look-alikes about The Virgin Mary
As for their saying about Mary that she is the mother of the Messiah the son of God for true, that she verily gave birth to him (as a son of God), that there is no mother for the son of God other than she, no father to her child other than God, no son to God other than he, and that God chose her for Himself to give birth to His first and only born son. He chose her from among all the women, and if she were like the other women she would have not given birth in a way other than by being inseminated by a man; but she, unlike all women, bore the son of God, gave birth to His one and only son who has no father other than He, and that she is sitting on the left side of the Throne beside God praised be He, Most Sublime-, the Father of her son, and her son is sitting to His right side. The Nazarene plea to her asking her plentitude , physical health, long life, forgiveness for wrongdoings, and to be on their side before her son and his Father (most of them believe that He is undeniably her husband) a fence, a support, a provision, an intercessor, and a cornerstone . In their prayers they say:
«O mother of God! intercede for us.»
They glorify her and put her in a rank higher than the rank of the angels and above all the prophets and the messengers. They ask her for well-being, sustenance and forgiveness in the same devotion the Lord is asked. In their supplication to her, the Jacobites even go to the extent of saying:
«O Mary the mother of God!, be to us a fence, a support, a provision, and a cornerstone.» And the Nestorians say: «O mother of the Messiah!, be to us as such.» They say to the Jacobites: «Do not say: O mother of God, but say: O mother of the Messiah.»
The Jacobites reply: «In your belief, as in ours, the Messiah is indeed a god, then what is the difference you see between us in this matter?. But you wanted to reconcile with the Muslims and come close to them in Tawheed (monotheism).»
This is what they believe in those shameless and disgraceful people of this nation: that God Most High chose Mary for Himself to give birth to His son, and He inseminated her like a man cohabiting a woman. After he mentioned this about them, al-Nazzam said:
«They talk openly about this only in front of those whom they trust.»
In «al-Ma’oonah» ibn al-Ikhasheed mentioned similar things about them. He said that among themselves they say: «Do not you see that he who is not a father means that he is impotent, and impotence is a serious deficiency.» This is the saying of all of them , and by this they refer to cohabitation. He who mixes with these people, gains their trust, and delves into their depth, knows that from them.
This is how their unbelief is: joining partners to the Lord of the worlds. For this reason one of the Guided Caliphs said about them: «Show them little importance but do not do them any wrong.» They have blasphemed against God in a way unprecedented by any mortal.»
In the authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace be upon him) recounts that His Lord said: «The son of Adam reviled Me; he is not to do that. The son of Adam distrusted Me, he is not to do that. He reviled me by saying that God begot a son and I am the One and Only, the Eternal, the Absolute, who begets not nor is He begotten, and there is none like unto Me. He distrusted Me by saying that God shall not resurrect me as He created me, and the beginning of the Creation is not easier to Me than the Resurrection.»
If the monotheists came up with every sin, did every shameful deed, and committed every offence, they would not measure up to a weight of a tiny particle compared to this humongously abominable blasphemy against the Lord of the Worlds, and to the curses thrown at Him, and to the untold sayings against Him. What do those people think the Lord of the Worlds will do with them when they return to Him:
“On the Day when some faces will be (lit up with) white, and some faces will be (in the gloom of) black: to those whose faces will black, (will be said): Did ye reject Faith after accepting it? taste then the penalty for rejecting faith.”'(al-Imran: 106)
And when the Messiah in front of all the humanity is asked while everybody is listening:
“Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as two gods in derogation of God? “(al-Ma’idah: 116)
The Messiah will reveal their lie and absolve himself from them. He will reply:
“He will say: Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (To say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. “ (al-Ma’idah: 116)
The Nazarenes are not followers of the Messiah in all the branches of their religion: in cleanliness,prayer,fasting, eating pork and hanging crosses.
This is the origin of their religion and the foundation it was raised upon. As for its branches and laws, all differ from the teaching of the Messiah, and moreover, they bear witness to these divergences and acknowledge them; but they refer the matter to the patriarchs and bishops. The Messiah (peace be upon him) practised cleanliness, bathing after major impurity , and he ordained bathing after menstruation. However, the different Nazarenes sects do not consider this a religious duty and that there is nothing impure in getting off the abdomen of a woman, urinating, emptying the bowel without having a bath, or cleaning the anus while urine and excrement would be dripping on the legs and thighs, and then to go and pray, and the prayer is considered acceptable and complete. Even of one of them empties the bowel and urinates, and he may as well break wind and fart while praying, they say that the prayer with major impurity, with urine and excrement, is better than the prayer with cleanliness, because as such, it would be different from the prayer of the Muslims and the Jews, and would stand out from the prayers of the Muslims and the Jews, and would stand out from the prayers of both nations. A Nazarene opens the prayer by drawing the sign of Cross with his fingers between his eyes. The Lord of the worlds is free from such a prayer, so is the Messiah and the rest of the prophets. Such a prayer is more of a ridicule than a prayer. Far be it from this that the prayer of the Messiah is as such, or the prayer of any of his Disciples. In his prayer the Messiah used to read what the prophets and the people of Israel used to read in their prayers: quotations from the (unaltered) Torah and the psalms. In contrast, the different sects of the Nazarenes read in their prayers words coined for them by their priests and prayer leaders, and the prayers are more
of a set of lamentations and songs. They say for example -:
«This is the Mass of so-and-so, and this is the Mass of so-and-so», attributing it to the people who wrote it. They pray eastward where the Messiah never prayed eastward. Till the day God caused him to die, the Messiah never prayed toward any direction other than Jerusalem, which is the prayer niche of David and the former prophets, and the prayer niche of the people of Israel. The Messiah was circumcised and he ordained circumcision, so did Moses, Aaron, and the former prophets. The Messiah prohibited the eating of pork and cursed its consumers and emphasised its unlawfulness, and the Nazarenes affirm that. He met God without having consumed the weight of a single strand of hair, (of pork) and the Nazarenes endeared themselves to him by eating it. The Messiah never ordained them to fast the kind of fasting they follow. During his entire life, he never fasted not a single time in the way they do, nor any of his Disciples ever did. He never fasted for the virgins, never broke his fasting by eating what they eat, never prohibited the kind of food they prohibit, never broke the observance of the Sabbath not even a single time till he met God, and never took Sunday as a holiday. The Nazarenes affirm that he used incantations on Mary Magdalene and drove out of her seven demons, and that the demons said:
«Where do we dwell now?» «Dwell inside this unclean animal» he replied, meaning the pig. This is the story of the Nazarenes about him and they allege that the pig is the cleanest and most beautiful of all animals! The Messiah followed in the matters of slaughtered animals for food, marriages, divorces, inheritance, and divine ordinances ( Hoodoods) the same path of the former prophets.
The monk and the priest forgive their sins and beautify their women for them!!
Among the Nazarenes the divine ordinance against the adulterers, paederasts, and alcohol drinkers is never carried into effect in this world, and there is no foreseen chastisement in the Hereafter, because the priest and the monk can forgive their sins. Each time one of them sins he offers the priest a gift or gives him money, or other things to solicit forgiveness for him!. If the wife of someone commits adultery, the husband sets her stay overnight at the priest’s house to sanctify her. When she takes off and goes to her husband, if she tells him that the priest had sanctified her, he accepts this because she wishes blessedness to the priest.
The Messiah did not commission the bishops and the patriarch legislate. The contradiction of the Nazarenes and the Jews
They do affirm that the Messiah said:
« I came to you to follow the laws of the Torah and commandments the prophets followed before me. I did not come to contradict but to complete . Before God, it is easier for the slave to topple over the earth than for me to refute anything in the late Moses. He who refutes anything of his law is called a violator in the kingdom of the Heavens.»
He and his companions led their lives accordingly till the day they departed from earth. He said to his companions:
« Follow my lead in what you saw me doing, accept from the people what I accepted from you, enjoin on the people who enjoined on you, be with them as I was with you , be for them as it is for you.»
The Messiah’s companions adhered to his teaching for a period of three hundred years after his departure . Then some fellows embarked on change, alteration, endearing themselves to the masses by appeasing the masses like, antagonising and contradicting the Jews, grately deviating from the religion of the Messiah, and ultimately becoming stripped off from it in totality.
In a tit-for-tat dissension, when the Nazarenes saw what the people said about the Messiah: that he is a mad man, a possessed magician and the son of an adulteress; they retaliated by saying that he was the complete god and the son of God. They saw the Jews practising circumcision, they abandoned it. They saw the Jews exaggerating in cleanliness , they abandoned it all together . They saw them avoid eating with a woman in menstrual period and avoid having sex her, they did the opposite. They saw them prohibiting the consumption of pork, they made it lawful and made it a symbol of their religion. They saw them prohibiting the consumption of unslaughtered animals, they made them all lawful from the elephant to the mosquito, and they said:
«Eat what you wish and abstain from what you wish : nothing stands in your way.»
They saw them praying to the direction of Jerusalem and took the direction of the east in their prayers. They saw them interdicting God to abrogate a law He decreed , they permitted their bishops and patriarchs to abrogate whatever they wish. They saw them observing the Sabbath, they observed Sundays and abolished the observance of the Sabbath while acknowledging the fact that the Messiah observed the Sabbath strictly. They saw them having a distaste for the Cross (in the Torah hanging the Cross is damned, and the Nazarenes admit that). They worshipped the Cross . Also the Torah textually prohibits the consumption of pork; but the Nazareres eat it with an insatiable appetite . It also ordains circumcision, they became devoted to abandoning it although they acknowledge the fact that the Messiah said to his companions:
« . . . but I came to you to follow the teachings (the Laws) of the Torah and the commandments of the former prophets . I did not come to contradict but to complete. Before God, it is easier for the sky to topple over the earth than for me to refute anything in the law of Moses .»
In retaliation against the Jews and in antagonising them , the Nazarenes embarked on refuting Moses’ laws one by one. Added to this is what is mentioned in their well known book «Bafr Casees» that a group of people from the Nazarenes went out from Jerusalem to Antioch and to other places in the land of al-Shaam (Syria), and they called the people to embrace the true religion of the Messiah : they called upon them to follow the teachings of the Torah, prohibit the consumption of animals slaughtered for food by people of other religions . Practise circumcision, observe the Sabbath , prohibit the consumption of pork , prohibit everything the Torah ordained unlawful . Their call fell heavy on the people and they found it irksome to follow . Then the Nazarenes met in Jerusalem and discussed among themselves to contrive t o endear the religion of the Messiah to the people to embrace it. They agreed on mixing with all nations , allowing all nations to mix with them including intermarriage, eating from their slaughtered animals, indulging themselves in their whims, embracing their mores and morals, and constructing a religion that compromises the laws of the Bible and the beliefs of the other nations, and they came up with a book!. This was one of their first synods. Everytime they wanted to innovate something , they held a convention ending up in continuous disagreements till they held the biggest synod ever during the reign of Constantine the Romaean the son of Helena the Haranian the Funduqian. In his time the religion of the Messiah was altered . He is the one who praised the innovative religion of the Nazarenes, and he is the one who installed it anxiously . The synod members counted close to two thousand men , and after they agreed on these innovations they rejected them . Then three hundred and eighteen men among them convened (the Nazarenes call them the Fathers) and agreed on these novelties which are still in place up to the present time, and are beheld as the very foundations of the religion among all of their sects and without which no one can be considered a «Nazarenes». They call it «Sanhudas» which is the Trust.
The « Trust» of the Trinitarians is the biggest betrayal
It reads:
«We believe in the One God and Father, the Creator of the seen and the Unseen , and in the one Lord Jesus the Messiah the son of God, the only son of God, begotten , a true God from the essence of his Father, through whose hands the worlds were created to perfection and He created everything. And for us O people and for our salvation He descended from heaven and incarnated Himself from the Holy Spirit and from the Virgin Mary, and the Virgin Mary conceived Him and gave birth to Him. Then He was captured, crucified, and killed during the days of Pilate the Romaean . He died and was buried . On the third day He rose as it is written , and ascended to heaven and sat on the right side of His Father, and He is ready to return once more to judge the dead and the living. And we believe in the One Lord, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Truth who
takes from His Father the Spirit of His love, and we believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and in a Trinity of one Holiness, and in the resurrection of our bodies and in eternal life for ever and ever.»
In this they declare that the Messiah is a Lord and that he is the son of God, His first born and only son, that he is begotten and not a created being, but he is a creating Lord , that he is a true god and a son of a true God, equal to His Father in essence, and that in his own hands the world was mastered. This hand that mastered the worlds – as they say is – the same hand that suffered from the piercing heat of nails as they declare in their book -. These are their own words, they said :
«The examples among us said :
The hand the Jews nailed o n the Cross is the same hand that kneaded the clay Adam was made of and created him . It is the same hand that spanned the sky and wrote down the Torah for Moses.»
In describing what the Jews inflicted on him in their own words,
they said :
«They slapped the Lord and hit Him on the head .»
They said:
«In the foretoken of the prophets about him it is mentioned that a virgin woman will conceive the Lord and give birth to Him. He will be captured, crucified and killed.»
They said:
«As for the Sanhudas (the Synod) before the nations , seven hundred of the fathers agreed o n it and they are the example to follow. It mentions that Mary conceived the Lord, gave birth to Him, suckled Him, gave Him to drink, and fed Him .»
They said :
«In our belief the Messiah is the son of Adam and He is his Lord, Creator and Sustainer. He is the son of Adams son Abraham , his Lord, Creator, and Sustainer. And He is the son o f lsrael, His Lord, Creator and Sustainer . And He is the son of Mary , her Lord,
Creator, and Sustainer.»
They said :
«And our knowledgeable men said: – and they are the example to follow among all of our denominations – : ” Jesus is the Beginning when He was still a Word, and the Word was still God, and god is the word : this is the One that Mary gave birth to and was seen by the people , and He was among them , He is God, the son of God, the word of God.»
These are their words. They said:
«The Timeless and the Eternal, the Creator of the heavens and the earth is the same one whom the people saw in their own eyes, and touched with their own hands . He is the same one that Mary conceived , the one who talked to the people while still inside her
abdomen where he said to the blind: (Are you a believer in God?), the blind said : (Who is He for me to believe in?) . He said : (The one talking to you, the son of Mary) . He replied: (I believe in you to the very end). They said: (the one that Mary conceived is God and the son of God and the word of God).»
They said:
«He is the one who was suckled, weaned, captured , crucified , slapped on the face, had his hands tied up and nailed, had his face spat at, died, buried, suffered the pain of crucifixion, nailing, and was killed for the salvation of the Nazarenes from their sins.»
They said:
«In the belief of our three denominations, the Messiah is not a prophet nor a righteous servant of God; but he is the Lord of the prophets, their creator, their resurrector, their sender, their patron, their protector, and he is the Lord of the angels. »
They said :
« He is not with his mother in the sense of creation , design, gentleness, and sustenance. She is not different in any special quality from the rest of the female creatures; but he is with her through her conceiving him and her containment of him in her womb. In this she is different from all the creatures. He became god and the son of God who descended from heaven, and Mary conceived him and gave birth to him a one god , one Messiah , one Lord , one creator , with no mismatch between both of them and without dissolution of this unity in any way: neither in conception nor in birth, nor in case of sleep, illness, crucifixion, death, burial; but he is united with Him in the conception.»
So in this matter he is a one Messiah, one creator, one god, and one lord. The same applies in the matter of his birth, crucifixion and death.
They said:
«Some of us call him by words as he really is, they say: Mary conceived God, gave birth to God, and God died . Some of us refrain from using this expression in referring to him because of its unbecoming wording, but they give its real meaning and the truth
implied in it; they say: Mary conceived the Messiah in reality, gave birth to him in reality, and she is the mother of the Messiah in reality, and the Messiah is a god in reality, a Lord in reality , the son of God in reality, the word of God in reality, there is no son to God in reality other than he, there is no father to the Messiah in reality other than He.»
They said :
«This perception agrees in meaning with those who say: She conceived the Lord, gave birth to the Lord, the Lord was killed, the Lord was crucified , and He died and was buried, even if they do not express it in words or phrases.»
They said:
«We prohibited this phrase that our brethren made lest the matter becomes misconstrued in our heads over time if we say that she conceived God, gave birth to God, God suffered painfully, and God died, and we would imagine that all of that befell God the father. Instead , we say that all of that befell the Messiah and the Messiah in our belief and the belief of our sects is a complete and perfect God from a complete and a perfect God, from the essence of his Father. In fact, we and our brethren are the same, and the only difference between us is only in phrasing. »
They said :
«This is the reality of our religion and our faith . The fathers and the leaders expressed it before we did . They enacted it and paved the way for us . They are more knowledgeable than us in understanding the truth of the Messiah .»
From the first to the last one of them , the Trinitarians , the worshippers of the Cross, do not differ in their belief that the Messiah was not a prophet, nor a righteous servant of God; but he is a true god from a true god, from the essence of his father, and that is a perfect god from a perfect god , and that he is the Creator of heaven and earth, of the former and the latter and their Sustainer, the Maker of their death and their Resurrector, their Raiser from the graves, their assembler, Judge, Recompenser and Chastiser. And the Nazarenes believe that the Father relinquished all of His kingdom on behalf of his son, and consequently, His son is the one who creates, sustains, refuses to perish, gives life , and manages the affairs of heaven and earth . But do not they say in their Trust (Confession of faith) that:
«He is the son of God and the only son to his Father» and that he was not made till they say that his hands perfected the worlds and the creation of everything to their saying that he is ready to return to edge the dead and the living! In their prayers and supplications they say:
«O You Jesus the Messiah! You give us life, sustenance, create our children, resurrect our bodies, raise us and chastise us».
The Messiah repudiates the claim of his Lordship and divinity, and declares himself a prophet and a human being.
All of that included their frank belying to the Messiah even if their invented stories gave them the false perception that they are following him . This is because the Messiah said to them:
«God is my Lord and your Lord, my God and your God . »
He gave testimony about himself that he is God’s servant, lorded and neediness before God. He also mentioned that he is a messenger of God to His creatures on the same line of the preceding prophets. In John’s Gospel it is mentioned that the Messiah said in his
supplication to God:
«The continuous life calls upon the people to bear witness that You are God, the One, the True, and that You sent Jesus the Messiah.»
Thus he mentioned his purpose, that he is a man conveying to them what God ordained him to convey. He did not say he is a god, or a son of God on the line of procreation. And he said:
«I did not come on my own authority but on the authority of the One who sent me.»
And he said:
« The speech you hear from me does not come on my own authority but on the authority of the one who sent me. Woe to me if I say something on my own authority! All I say is on the authority of the One who sent me. »
He used to persevere in his worship through prayer and fasting, and he used to say:
«I did not come to be served but I came to serve.»
Thus he put himself in the rank that God sent him down in, and that is the rank of a servant of God.
And he said:
«I do not judge the servants of God through their deeds, nor do I appraise them through their deeds; but the One who sent me is the One who judges and appraises them.»
All of that is mentioned in the Bible which is in the hands of the Nazarenes. It also mentions that the Messiah said:
«O Lord! , they know that You sent me, and I did mention Your name to them .»
Thus, he made it known that God is his Lord and that he is His servant and His Messenger. It mentions that God, the One, the Lord of everything, sent Messengers to all the people to accept the Truth. The Messiah said :
And,
«I am far from innovating anything on my own authority; but I speak and answer as My Lord taught me.»
And he said:
«God blessed me and sent me, and I am a servant of God , and worship the One God till the Day of Salvation.»
And he said:
« God , Most Exalted in Might, Most Revered , never ate and never eats, never drank and never drinks , never slept and never sleeps. He begets not nor is He begotten, nobody saw Him, nobody sees Him unless he dies.»
In this, the heart of the saying of the Most Exalted in Might in the Qur’an becomes clear to you:
“Christ the son of Mary was no more than an Apostle; many were the apostles that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth, they had both to eat their (daily) food.”(al-Ma’idah: 75)
In which He is reminding the Nazarenes what the Messiah said to them . In his supplication, when he asked God to revive the dead, he said:
«I do thank and praise You because You answer my prayers and this time and all the time. I ask You to lend life to this dead man so that the people o f lsrael would know that You sent me and You answer my prayer.»
The Bible mentions that when the Messiah went out of Samaria and caught up with Jaljal, he said:
«A prophet is not respected in his own country.»
and he kept on declaring himself a prophet (John 43). In Luke’s Gospel:
«None of the prophets was killed in his homeland, how could you kill me!»
In Mark’s Gospel:
«A man came to the Messiah and said:
O good teacher ! What good deed do I have to do to earn the everlasting life?
The Messiah said to him:
Why did you say (good)? God alone is the Good, and you know the conditions: do not steal, do not commit adultery do not give false*
In John’s Gospel, it is mentioned that when the Jews plotted to capture him, he looked up toward the sky and said:
«The time has come, O my God ! , honour me before Yourself and provide me with a way to have all what You want me to have of eternal life, for the eternal life for them is to believe in You One God, and in the Messiah whom You sent, and the people of the earth glorify You, and I bore what You ordained me to do; honour me.»
He did not declare himself anything other than a servant of God: sent, ordained, and a prophet. In Matthew’s Gospel:
«Father» in their language means the «teaching Lord» and the phrase means : do not say your God and your Lord is on earth , but He is in heaven. Then he put himself in the rank that his Lord put him in, and that his goal is to teach on earth and their Lord is the One in heaven.
In Luke’s Gospel, when he prayed to God and he returned life to the son of the woman, they said:
«This prophet is great and God looked after his people.»
In John’s Gospel , the Messiah raised his voice in the house and said to the Jews:
«You have recognized me and known my position. I did not come on my own authority , but the Truth sent me and you ignore Him. If I say I do not know Him I would be a liar like you, and I know and you do not know that I am from Him and He sent me.»
In his call he did not exceed the calls of other prophets; but the Trinitarians hold on to his saying: «I am from Him» and took it to mean: «true god from a True God».
In the Qur’an:
“An apostle from God, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and holy.” (al-Bayyinah: 2)
And Hud said :
“I am an apostle from the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds.” (al-A’araaf: 61)
So said Saleh, but the strayed people – as God told about them – follow the look-alike and reject the precise and accurate. The Bible also mentions that the Jews said to the Messiah that they are the sons of God . The Qur’an mentions this in:
“Both the Jews and the Christians say: we are sons of God.” (al-Ma’idah: 18)
He said t o them :
« . . . I am a prophet from Him, I came out drawing near, I did not come on my own , but He sent me , and you do not take my commandments and fail to hear my speech. But you are the sons of the Devil and you want to satisfy his (the Devil’s) lusts. »
Also the Bible mentions that the Jews surrounded him and said to him:
«For how long are you going to conceal your ordinance?. If you are the Messiah we are waiting for, then tell us! .»
They did not say: «if you are God or the son of God» for he did not allege that, nor did any of his enemies or followers take it from him as such. The Bible also mentions that:
«The Jews wanted to arrest him and they sent their assistants after him, and the assistants returned to their leaders. Their leaders asked them why they did not arrest him, they replied : we have never heard of a man fairer than he .The Jews said: You too are deceived . Have you seen any of the leaders believe in him, or any of the leaders of the people of the Book?. Some of their leaders said to them : Have you seen your Books and you see that it does not come from the revelation of the prophets».
The Jews would have not said that had not he put himself in the same rank his Lord and his Creator put him in as a prophet. From his prayer to his Lord you would give him the credit of being a prophet and deny him the accusation of being a deity : an accusation that bears the strongest reasons to disobey him. Has he declared himself a
deity, his lie would have been easily known through intuition, reason, instinct, and the concordance among the prophets.
Had God in His Wisdom decided to appear to his servants, descend from the Throne of His Majesty, and declare Himself to them, He ought not to enter into the vagina of a woman, dwell in her womb between urine, excrement and blood, for several months. If He did that, He ought not to come out a little child suckling and crying. If He did that, He ought not to eat, drink, and sleep with the people. If He did that, he ought not to urinate or defecate or undergo such base needs, for these are deficiencies that man is inflicted with in this world due to his imperfection and needs; but He, the Most Exalted,
who is specifically associated with the qualities of utmost perfection, described with the qualities o f utmost sublimity , He whom the heavens and the earth cannot encompass and His Throne encompasses all that is in heaven and on earth; how could the vagina of a woman encompass Him! ? . Exalted be He the Lord of the Worlds . And you all agree that the Messiah used to eat, drink, urinate, defecate, and sleep.
