In this episode, I explore the life of Prophet Adam (pbuh), from his creation and life in Paradise to his fall and journey to prophethood. His story sets the foundation for humanity's guidance and offers timeless lessons of faith and patience.
The Umrah, Session 6 Prophet Nuh (as) performs Tawaaf on the Ark. Anyone who performed pilgrimage will cling to the Kaba on The Last Day and will perform Tawaaf whilst entering The Garden of Eternity. The Salaf stated, Around the Kaba are the graves of 300 Prophets. Between the Yemini corner and the black stone are the graves of several Prophets. Imam Abu Hanifa (rah) relates from the salaf, 3 of the Prophets are, Hud (as), Salih (as) & Shoaib (as). Prophet Adam (as) is buried under Mt Qubais. Makaam-e-Ibraheem & The Black Stone descend from Paradise. The Black Stone is the right hand of Allah SWT on earth. Touching the Black Stone is akin to pledging to Allah SWT. Jibreel (as) visits The Messenger ﷺ whilst covered in Angel dust.
The Umrah, Session 3 Prophet Adam & Jibreel (as) converse at Minna. Prophet Adam (as) & Hawaa (as) recognised each other in Arafat, view Surah 7 v172. Arafat means 'to recognise,' we remember our illustrious Grandparents. Jannatul Malaa - this burial place hosts Ab'dul Mutallib & Khadija (raa). The Tree @ Minna, which witnessed 70 Prophets - Masjid Khaif.
The Umrah, Session 4 The Ancient House - Baytul Ateeq. Abu Zharr (ra) asks about The Kaba & Al Aqsa. Allah SWT is pleased with those who perform Tawaaf! 300 Hajj & 700 Umrah performed by Prophet Adam (as). The first piece of land created was the place where the Kaba stands, then the rest of the land expanded thereof. The earth was filled with water prior to the expansion of land. Makkah is the centre of earth. 120 daily blessings descend upon the pilgrims, 60 Tawaaf, 40 Salaah & 20 for gazing at the Kaba. Make frequent Tawaaf of the Kaba as it will be the most amazing deed recorded for you.
Surah 25 Session 2 v3-7 The verses discuss the attributes of a True God! Can any originate creation then repeat it? The pagans ask regarding the Messenger ﷺ, why does he eat food & walk in the market places? All Prophets visited the market places and ate food, verse 20. 'We only see a man like us!' Shayan saw the human form of Prophet Adam (as) but did not acknowledge the Essence of the Prophet. Asiyah (raa) honours Prophet Musa (as) and this leads her to The Garden of Eternity.
Prophet Adam & Ibrahim (as) The first Prophet sent as a Messenger was Nuh (as) (IbnAsaakir). When Adam (as) passed away all of the creation wept over him for 7 days (Ibn Assakar). The most honoured of the prophets was Adam (as) for he was chosen to be the father of humanity (Tabarani). Prophet Ibrahim (as) was shown a dream thrice [that his son was to be sacrificed] (Quortobi Surah 37 v102).
In this episode of the Islamic Studies Research podcast hosted by Zayd Haji, listeners embark on a profound journey through the foundational principles of Islam, meticulously examining the evolution of prophethood from the time of Prophet Adam to the final messenger, Prophet Muhammad. Through a structured narrative, Haji unfolds the essence of Islamic teachings, drawing upon the Quranic revelation and the rich tapestry of prophetic traditions. The episode commences with an elucidation of the core principle of monotheism, as articulated in Surah Al-Ikhlāş (The Sincerity) of the Quran. Haji expounds upon the significance of proclaiming the oneness of God, citing verse 112:1-4 as a foundational pillar of Islamic faith. Within this framework, the call to worship one God is established as a fundamental tenet, resonating throughout the teachings of Islam. Building upon this theological foundation, Haji delves into the concept of prophethood, tracing its lineage from Prophet Adam, the first human, to Prophet Muhammad, the seal of the prophets. Through Quranic verses and Hadith traditions, the role of prophets as chosen messengers entrusted with conveying divine guidance to humanity is elucidated. Haji emphasizes the continuity of prophethood throughout history, highlighting the universal message of monotheism and moral rectitude propagated by each successive prophet. Central to the discussion is the theme of accountability in the afterlife, underscored by Quranic verses such as 4:124, which depict the Day of Judgement as a pivotal moment of reckoning for human actions. Haji expounds upon the concept of righteous deeds as a pathway to spiritual elevation, drawing parallels between Quranic injunctions and Hadith traditions that extol the virtues of piety, charity, and moral integrity. Throughout the episode, Haji navigates the intricate landscape of Islamic scholarship, shedding light on the process of compiling and authenticating Hadith collections. He elucidates the significance of authoritative compilations such as Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim in preserving the prophetic tradition, offering listeners valuable insights into the meticulous methods employed by early Islamic scholars to verify the authenticity of narrations. In conclusion, Haji addresses the role of supplementary texts within the Islamic tradition, cautioning against uncritical acceptance of compilations like "Fazail-e-Amaal" due to their inclusion of weaker narrations. He advocates for a discerning approach to Islamic scholarship, urging listeners to prioritize rigorously authenticated sources in their quest for spiritual guidance and knowledge. Through scholarly analysis and insightful commentary, Haji illuminates the timeless wisdom embedded within the teachings of Islam, inviting listeners to embark on a journey of intellectual and spiritual discovery.
The revival of Shi‘ite Sufism, after the destruction of Safavid empire, occurred during the Zand dynasty (1163-1209/1750-1794) and continued through the Qājār era. As Zarrīnkub has pointed out, the Qājār era was a time of nostalgia for the noble past. Of course, their mystical philosophy had to fit the theological standards of Shi‘ite society. The two leading Sufi orders in this revival movement were the Ni‘matullāhīs and the Dhahabīs. These two orders had much in common, as both of them highly emphasized the importance of following Islamic laws and Shi‘ite beliefs. They were known to be the propagators of Akbarian philosophy in Persia. Dhahabīs and Ni‘matullāhīs were strong promoters of the school of “Unity of Being” (Waḥdat al-wujūd). Mīrzā Muḥammad Taqī, with the spiritual title of Muẓaffar ‘Alī Shāh (d.1215/1800) is one of the most influential masters in the history of Ni‘matullāhiyya order. This Shi‘ite Sufi master is one of the most active and knowledgeable masters of the Ni‘matullāhīs during this era. He is the first master after the return of the order to Persia who wrote about its cosmological views, based on the philosophy of “Unity of Being”. In his youth, he began studying the rational and traditional seminary sciences (‘ulūm ‘aqlī wa naqlī) and became well-versed in them. Muẓaffar was more of a mystic philosopher (ḥakīm) than a jurist (faqīh), and extremely well-versed in speculative Sufism, following the school of “Unity of Being”. Muẓaffar ‘Alī Shāh's mystical poetry had in-depth mystical meanings, with heavy reliance of Ibn ‘Arabī's philosophy and terminology. Muẓaffar was very influential for the development of the Ni‘matullāhī order and as a propagator of Ibn ‘Arabī's thoughts. His beliefs about the perfect man, insān-i kāmil, were highly influenced by Akbarian (Ibn ‘Arabī's) philosophy. Muẓaffar passed away in 1215/1800. He wrote numerous books and literary papers, which are tremendously valuable for a better understanding of Ni‘matullāhī thought. Muẓaffar ‘Alī Shāh wrote poetry lamenting over his separation from his master, Mushtāq, to whom he dedicated a compendium of his poetry, calling it Diwān-i Mushtāqīyya. In this paper, we will examine two of Muẓaffar's writings: “Sea of the Secrets” (baḥr al-asrār) and “Compendium of the Seas” (majma‘ al-biḥār) which are both interpretations of the first chapter of Quran. “Sea of the Secrets” (baḥr al-asrār) is in verse form of Mathnawī and “Compendium of the Seas” (majma‘ al-biḥār) is written in prose. In these two works, Muẓaffar ‘Alī Shāh heavily relied on the chapter of Prophet Adam in Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam of Ibn ‘Arabī. He had numerous references to Ibn ‘Arabī and his writings. Muẓaffar ‘Alī Shāh explains the relationship between Nubuwwa (prophethood), Risāla (apostleship) and Wilāya (sainthood) based on Ibn ‘Arabī's teachings using his terminology like the disclosure of Attributes of Divine Majesty (jalāl) and disclosure of Attributes of Divine Beauty (jamāl). This paper investigates the importance of Muẓaffar ‘Alī Shāh for survival of the school of “Unity of Being” among practicing Shi‘ite Sufis in general and the Ni‘matullāhī Sufi in particular as one of the most important Shi‘ite Sufi orders in Iran.

A Lesson from Prophet Adam's Story | Mufti Menk
Amr ibn Al-Aas (ra), Session 2 The Fox of The Arabs Abu Bakr (ra) sent Hisham (ra) and another to Heraclius the Emperor, they were hosted for 3 days. Both Sahaba were shown the images of the Prophets Adam (as), Nuh (as), Ibraheem (as) then an image of The Last Messenger ﷺ. These images were given to Prophet Adam (as), then Dhul Qarnayn (ra) took them and gave them to Danyaal (as). Talha (ra) relates.. Verily Amr Ibn Al Aas (ra) is one of the pious of the Quraysh (Tirmidhi).
Join us in a compelling new episode of "Light of Reflection," where we confront the stark reality of our world: 18,000 lives lost, 50,000 injured, and a pervasive silence that engulfs humanity. This episode delves into the role of Muslims in a world where a few dominate while many suffer in silence.
In the Qur'an, there is an important story about the life of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him). This story plays a significant role in our understanding of the creation of man and man's relationship with God. The story of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) begins when God created him from clay. In surah Al-Baqarah, verses 30 to 39, God tells how Iblis refused to bow down to Adam at God's command and instead asked arrogant questions. Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) was then placed in Jannah (paradise) with his wife, Siti Hawa. They were given the freedom to enjoy all the beauty and pleasure in it. However, they were also given a prohibition to approach one particular tree. Unfortunately, Iblis managed to persuade Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) and Siti Hawa to violate the ban. They both finally ate the fruit of the tree and realized their mistake. They felt ashamed and realized that they had committed a sin. After that, God forgave them both because they repented sincerely to Him. Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) descended from Jannah to earth as the first human being in this world along with Siti Hawa. They began to live as ordinary humans with all the limitations and trials of life. The story of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) provides an important teaching to mankind. It teaches about obedience to God, avoiding temptation and admitting mistakes and repenting sincerely. This story also shows how God is the Most Forgiving and gives a second chance to His repentant servants.
Date : 08/09/2023 Join Raza Ahmed, Qayyum Rashid And Danayal Zia for Friday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Literacy" and "Blind Faith" Literacy Despite progress, over 750 million adults worldwide still struggle with illiteracy. Did you know, even in the digital age, 32 million people can't read this post? Join us as we explore what literacy truly means and delve into the heart of the matter as we commemorate International Literacy Day's mission to eradicate illiteracy. Blind Faith Religion and Islam in particular does not require blind faith from its followers and, on many occasions, has urged us to think about matters such as the creation of the eye and brain function and the vastness and complexity of the universe. These created things with a clear purpose and an inscribed code of movements clearly give credence to a being that ought to have created them. Join us as we take a look at what certainty of faith is and answer Guests Professor Guy Merchant- distinguished professor of literacy in education with expertise in digital literacy and its connection to children and youth.

Join Raza Ahmed, Qayyum Rashid and Danayal Zia for Friday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “UK Prisons (need for reform?)” and “Holy Books – sources of guidance” UK Prisons (need for reform?) UK Prisons are once again under scrutiny as living conditions have been deemed to be deteriorating beyond repair. With the government pledging to increase the number of prisons to tackle overcrowding, we ask if this is enough to bring about reform of prisoners, or is time the UK prison system itself is reformed to best serve the needs of society? Holy Books – sources of guidance In His infinite Mercy and wisdom Allah Almighty has ensured to guide mankind throughout our history. From the first Prophet Adam to the Promised Messiah of the latter days. Some of these great Prophets were given divine scriptures that led their followers through dark times. The last and most perfect of all was the Holy Qur'an. Revealed over a period of 23 years Muslims believe it to be directly revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) as a guidance for the righteous and a key to all of mankind's problems. However, in todays day and age some people believe these books to be the source of misguidance and evil. We will highlight the beauty of these in this part of the show.

but he was made from this…
Prophet Adam DID NOT evolve from a Monkey but he was made from this... Mufti Menk
Surah Maidah, The Table Spread verses 32 Session 23 Prophet Adam (as) donates a portion of his own life to one of his sons, Prophet Dawood (as). The excellence of Birr to one's parents. Angels arrive as they are commanded to take the soul of Adam (as). The ancient burial rites that has not changed. Adam (as) was created on a Friday and departs the world on a Friday. Bani Israel emulate Cain.
Surah Maidah, The Table Spread verse 27-29 Session 21 The Favoured Prophet Adam (as) as he carried The Prophets. The narrative of Cain & Able follows as The Bani Israel become jealous of The Messenger ﷺ & The Sahaba. Prophet Adam (as) was a Prophet as he led his nation of 40k decendants. Cain slew Able.
The second article of faith to embrace is the belief in the Angels. The Angels are part of the unseen world; we cannot comprehend and prove it scientifically. You cannot see the Angels unless God allows you to and enables your vision. Muslims believe in Angels because they are mentioned numerous times throughout the Holy Quran and in the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, a body of work that Muslims call Hadith."The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and so have the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His Angels and His Books and His Messengers…" (Quran 2:285)God describes Angels' appearance, attributes, characteristics, and responsibilities in His Holy Book. We do not know precisely when the Angels were created, but they predate the creation of human beings. The Angels were created from pure shining light (Noor in Arabic). They are light-giving entities. Angels are generally more powerful than humans and travel at the speed of light. The Angels have certain specialties and capacities that humans do not possess. God refers to the Angels as honored servants."...Rather, they are but honored servants." (Quran 21:26)In Arabic, Angels are called 'Mala'ika,' which means "to assist and help." Angels are Holy and exist in a constant state of worship and praise to God all day and all night; they do not disobey Him. They worship Allah constantly without growing bored or tired."They exalt Him night and day and do not slacken." (Quran 21:20)The sole purpose of the Angels is to execute the commandments of Allah. An Angel has no needs or desires for material goods. Angels do not eat, drink, sleep, marry, or procreate. The Angels do not die. The same Angels that existed when Prophet Adam, peace be upon him, was created still exist today and will continue to live until the trumpet is blown for the Day of Judgment. "…And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him…" (Quran 74:31) The Angels have no gender; they are not female nor male. Angels are physically very beautiful, except the Angel guardian of the hellfire, who wears a stern expression and never laughs. The Greatest of these Angels are magnificent in size, far beyond our imagination. The largest and most significant is the Angel Gabriel (Jibril in Arabic), the Angel descended from Heavens to instruct the Prophets on how to teach and preach the religion. All Angels have wings; some possess two, three, or four pairs - or more. Angel Gabriel has 600 wings and is of a size so great that it fills the space between Heaven and Earth, blocking the entire horizon. You learn about the Angels to ponder, reflect, and reaffirm the Greatness of your Creator. The experience of having knowledge and belief in the Angels adds to the awe you feel toward God, in that He can create this great being and, indeed, can create whatever He Pleases and Wills. The awe and magnificence of the Almighty's creation reveal and indicate the Magnificence, Glory, and Majesty of the Almighty Himself. This should humble you and increase your God-consciousness, love, and fear of the Almighty. Knowing of the Angels also reminds you that your actions are continuously recorded by the Angels, hopefully decreasing your sins and increasing your good deeds.
Lastly, before we speak about converting to Islam and what you need to know and do after converting, let's quickly go over how our Creator communicates to His servants—to you and me. How would you know your role in life, your true-life purpose, unless you receive clear and practical instructions about God's wants and expectations of you? To glean this knowledge, we have a need for Prophethood and Revelation. God has sent thousands of Messengers and Prophets to humanity to convey His message and communicate with us. Every nation on Earth received a Prophet for this purpose. They all preached the same general message that only one deity is worthy of worship. He is the One and Only God, without a partner, son, daughter, or equal. God sent Messengers and Prophets to guide humanity, to deter them from worshipping created beings in lieu of worshiping their Creator, the Creator of all things. The Prophets taught their people the identity of their Creator, how to build a relationship with Him, and how to love Him. The Prophets taught their people that life is only a test; those who pass will enter Paradise eternally, while those who fail will be subjected to the ultimate punishment in the afterlife. As an extension of His mercy and love, God continued to send Messengers with Books to guide humanity, starting with Prophet Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them all. Many of the Prophets are mentioned in Jewish and Christian traditions. All previous Messengers and Books, other than the Holy Quran and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, were sent only to those specific groups of people intended to receive the message and were meant to be followed only for a particular period. For example, Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, was one of God's mightiest Messengers, who was sent down with the same general message as the previous Prophets, but he was sent to speak to only the Children of Israel—the nation where he resided, that existed before us—as their final Prophet because they were disobeying the commandments of God and veering away from the laws sent down by the previous Messenger, Moses, peace be upon him. Whenever God sent Messengers with Revelations, people would distort and change the Revelations after they were passed. What originated as pure Revelation from God would be polluted with the words of men, myths, superstitions, irrational philosophical ideologies, and idol worship. Just like how Prophet Jesus PBUH was sent to revise the previous message sent before him by the Messenger Moses PBUH, Prophet Muhammad PBUH came to reform Prophet Jesus' Message, as it had been distorted by his people and did not survive in its original form.When humanity existed in the depth of the Dark Ages, God the Almighty sent his last and final Messenger to humankind—Prophet Muhamad, peace be upon him—and his final Revelation, the Holy Quran, to redeem humanity. The Holy Quran and the final Messenger affirmed everything revealed to the previous Messengers.
Before we speak about the evidence of Islam and the Holy Quran's Divine origin, let me quickly introduce Islam. Islam is defined as the voluntary act of submitting yourself to God. When you become a Muslim, you submit and surrender to the will of God, just as the creation around you, providing you peace and contentment in this life and the hereafter. Only when you submit to God, through a process of believing in Him and obeying His commandments, do you achieve an innate and lasting sense of security, true peace of mind, and surety of heart. As a Muslim, you don't live to fulfill your desires, lusts, and impulses; instead, by definition, a Muslim submits their will to the almighty God. You acknowledge and trust that God knows what's best for you, so you follow His guidance. You cannot live peacefully or successfully without religion, and this religion cannot be man-made. Religion must be utterly Divine, with no human alteration inherent. The only Revelation in the world today that still rings good and true is the final Book, the last and final Testament of God, the Holy Quran. All other traditional Revelations have been lost in the annals of time or undergone endless human-made modifications that have rendered them impractical for humanity. Unlike other sacred scriptures such as the Bible, the Holy Quran has been perfectly preserved in both its words and meaning—and in a language that still exists today.Islam is a monotheistic faith that requires followers to admit and recognize the existence of one Supreme God and Being who is Almighty, All-Powerful, All-Knowledgeable, All-Seeing, All-Hearing, Most-Merciful, and Loving. Islam stresses the existence of only One God. The same God worshipped by Prophet Adam, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them all. Islam demonstrates the fact that, through the centuries, God has continued to bless humanity with holy Prophets bearing the same general message. The message is simple: you should worship God Alone with no partners, love Him with all of your heart, and follow His Commandments. If you follow this edict, you will live a content life in this world and enter Paradise eternally in the afterlife. If you do not believe in God and follow His commandments, you will live a depressed life and enter hellfire in the afterlife. Islam is not a religion solely based on creeds, customs, and rituals such as praying and fasting; instead, Islam is a complete way of life that guides followers in every aspect of their lives. Islam teaches the art of living and dictates how you should steer and navigate your life. Islam instructs you about the things in this life that are beneficial to you and those that are ultimately destructive and should be avoided. Islam states that everyday human acts, such as eating, drinking, greeting others, sitting, learning, dressing, sleeping, and giving charity, are all acts of worship if conducted for God alone and in accordance with His Divine Laws and guidelines.
Before we discuss the concept of atonement in Islam, it's essential to address Christianity's stance on how to seek salvation from hellfire and enter Paradise. Christians believe that every child is born with the taint of the original sin committed by our parents, Prophet Adam and Eve PBUT. The sin was committed when they disobeyed our Creator by eating from the forbidden tree. Christians believe that, since all men are born in a sinful state because of the actions of our distant ancestors, it is necessary to believe in atonement, the idea that Jesus Christ died for our sins. Christians believe that one can attain salvation, being saved from hellfire and entering Paradise, by simply accepting that Jesus Christ died for their sins, without the need for worshipping God, doing good deeds, or adhering to the Holy Law - because Jesus Christ fulfilled it for them. To reiterate, Christians believe the commandments of God are worthless and need not be followed, as they can earn a free trip to Paradise by simply believing that Jesus Christ died for their sins. They believe one can live sinful without going to hell since Jesus Christ atoned for their sins. If all Christians need to do to reach Paradise is to believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins, then why do they bother learning the Bible or the teachings of Jesus Christ? If Jesus Christ did die for our sins, he would have emphasized and taught this crucial detail. However, nowhere in the Bible did Jesus Christ explicitly stated that he would die to save humanity from sin. Christians say God sacrificed his only begotten son to save humanity, but if God owns the entire universe, why did God need to sacrifice Jesus? One sacrifices one thing for something else they could not obtain otherwise. But God is All-Mighty and can restore the life of Jesus Christ instantly, so by definition, that is not a sacrifice. Not only is the concept of atonement not mentioned in the Bible nor taught by Jesus Christ, but Biblical verses contradict the concept of atonement and prove a fabrication. These verses state that no person is held responsible for another's sin, no parent is accountable for a sin committed by their child, and vice versa. That means we are not held accountable for the sins committed by our parents, Adam and Eve, PBUH."The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin." (Deuteronomy 24:16). Take this passage: "The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child." (Ezekiel 18:20) It is stated in the Bible that the child will not share the guilt of the parent for any particular sin, nor will the parent share the child's responsibility for a sin! Paul initiated the concept of atonement. Paul proved himself an enemy of Jesus Christ throughout his ministry. He claimed that Jesus Christ came to him in a dream, and only afterward did he become a believer. He then made radical changes to the religion that neither Jesus Christ nor the Bible describes or details! Why are Christians following the teaching of Paul and not Jesus Christ?How did all of the previous, righteous Messengers and Prophets of God, such as Prophet Abraham, Moses, Noah, etc., go to Paradise if they did not accept Jesus Christ, one who did not die for their sins since he was not yet born, as their savior? Are these righteous Messengers and Prophets of God going to hell?! No, of course not! And why didn't these Messengers and Prophets of God know of or teach about the original sin and redemption? That's because these ideas were innovated by Paul and never taught by God, Jesus Christ, the Bible, or anyone.
Becoming Bani Adam: Exploring Twelver-Shii Discussions on Human Ancestry - Mizan Institute
This episode discusses the scriptural evidence or lack thereof for Adam having biological parents. In other words, is it possible that Prophet Adam (a), though the first full human being with all of humanity's metaphysical qualities, had biological parents or could have descended from an evolutionary tree? The main evidence against this lies in the discussion about the dhuhur or prima-facie meaning of the Qur'anic verse that compares Prophet Adam (a) to Prophet Isa (a) i.e. Jesus and his miraculous conception.

Becoming Bani Adam: Exploring Twelver-Shii Discussions on Human Ancestry - Mizan Institute
This episode discusses the alleged timeline of Prophet Adam (a) and various pieces of evidence including evidence in the fossil record, the Qur'an, and hadith. There are two plausible timelines for where to place Adam in history and the first is that is he existed more than 200,000 years ago and was the first of the Homo sapiens species. The second, and arguably more like possibility is that he existed 10-12,000 years ago. While exploring lines of evidence for human evolution, we will focus on explanations for the fossil record, and both scriptural and anthropological evidence that may help us navigate these two possibilities.

Prophet Adam AS [The First Human] ᴴᴰ
The original manuscripts that form the Bible were not in English; they were mainly in Koine Greek. When translating from one language to another, conveying the whole or exact meaning is not easy without adding or subtracting something. The term, Son of God, had a different connotation when translated from Aramaic to Greek to English. The term, Son of God, did not mean it literally. In ancient Hebrew, the term was used to refer to a Godly person, a righteous person. It was customary to call any Prophet of God, or a righteous man, a son of God. The term, Son of God, was not meant to be taken literally as Christians have. Never did Jesus Christ claim in the Gospels to be the Son of God in the physical sense. Other Prophets of God and individuals in the Bible are referred to as sons of God, such as orphans, judges, jurists, the Israelites, the Prophet Adam, David, Solomon, and Jacob. It was a common saying amongst the Children of Israel to refer to a righteous person as the Son of God! Prophet David PBUH is referred to as the Son of God in I will proclaim the LORD's decree: He said to me, 'You are my son; today I have become your father.' (Psalm 2:7) The Children of Israel are referenced as the sons of God in Hosea, 1:10: Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. Prophet Adam PBUH was labeled as a son of God in Luke 3:38: Which was the Son of Enos, which was the Son of Seth, which was the Son of Adam, which was the Son of God. Exodus 4:22 quotes God calling Israel his Son, Then say to Pharaoh, 'This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son.' (Exodus 4:22) Jesus Christ calls the peacemakers children of God, 'Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.' (Matthew 5:9) Why don't Christians apply the same concept to those individuals in the Bible who were referred to as sons of God? If Christians are going to use the Bible's labeling of Jesus Christ as the Son of God as proof that He is the Son of God, it would mean that the Prophet Israel is of higher status than Jesus Christ because he was the firstborn, which generally would be respected more than a younger brother!
Christians believe that every child is born with the taint of the original sin committed by our parents, Prophet Adam and Eve PBUT. The sin was committed when they disobeyed our Creator by eating from the forbidden tree. Christians believe that since all men are born in a sinful state, it is necessary to believe in the atonement or the idea that Jesus Christ died for our sins. Christian believe one can attain salvation by believing that Jesus Christ died for their sins - without the need for worshipping God, doing good deeds, or adhering to the Holy Law - because Jesus Christ fulfilled it for them. However, nowhere in the Bible did Jesus Christ explicitly state that he would die to save humanity from sin. If Jesus Christ did die for our sins, he would have emphasized this crucial detail and taught this information in detail. According to the Holy Quran and the Bible itself, one can receive forgiveness for sins solely through sincere repentance, with forgiveness sought directly from God. If God, the Almighty, wished and willed to forgive humanity, then he certainly could have done so without the need to sacrifice Jesus Christ, his supposed "begotten son." Christians state that God sacrificed his only begotten son to save humanity, but if God owns the entire universe, why did God need to sacrifice Jesus Christ? Why does God need to sacrifice his only son when he owns everything? Why couldn't God save his only son as opposed to sacrificing him? Is it even really "sacrificing" when God could restore Jesus Christ's life since He can do anything? If all a Christian needs to do to obtain Paradise is believe that Jesus Christ died for his sins, why does one even bother to learn the Bible or the teachings of Christ? According to the Christian belief, one can live a sinful life if they believe in atonement for sins. They can live however they wish, as Paul taught (not Jesus Christ). Apparently, to Christians, the commandments of God are worthless and do not need to be followed, as they can earn a free trip to Paradise by believing that Jesus Christ died for their sins. Not only is the concept of the atonement not mentioned in the Bible and not taught by Jesus Christ, but there are Biblical verses that contradict the concept of the atonement and prove the idea to be a fabrication. These verses state that no person is held responsible for another's sin; no parent is responsible for a sin committed by their child and vice versa. That means we are not held responsible for the sin committed by our parents Adam and Eve PBUH. The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. (Deuteronomy 24:16) Moreover, In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. (Jeremiah 31:29-30). Take this passage: The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. (Ezekiel 18:20) It is clearly stated in the Bible that the child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the responsibility of the child! The concept of atonement was started by Paul long after this verse was written. Paul proved himself an enemy of Jesus Christ throughout his ministry. He claimed that Jesus Christ came to him in a dream and afterward became a believer. He then made some radical changes to the religion, changes that neither Jesus Christ nor the Bible describes! Why are Christians following the teaching of Paul and not Jesus Christ? How can all the previous righteous Messengers and Prophets of God, such as Prophet Abraham, Moses, Noah, etc., go to Paradise if they did not accept Jesus Christ as their savior--who would not die for their sins si
Many proofs exist that Islam is the true religion of God. Among the many proofs of Islam's truthfulness is that it is the only religion whose message and teachings have been preserved and never tampered with or changed over time. As for Christianity and other religions, we do not have their original Revelation and teachings preserved for our perusal. If you look at Christianity, for instance, since Jesus Christ and the disciples spoke Aramaic, Jesus Christ's Message and teachings were in this language. Today, we do not have copies of Jesus Christ's teachings in the language he taught them. We have manuscripts in Koine Greek, which was not Jesus Christ's language. It was not until 300 years later, in the 4th century, that manuscripts were cherry-picked and compiled into books from various unknown sources and authors. Then these manuscripts were translated again years later into English and other languages spoken today. The same can be said with the Revelation and teachings sent with Prophet Moses and Prophet David PBUT. Their Revelations were never preserved. God did not preserve their Revelations because they were meant for previous nations and not for us today. Islam, on the other hand — its Scripture, the Holy Quran — stands the same today as when it was first revealed 1400 plus years ago, word for word, letter by letter. God taught it to Angel Gabriel, who taught it to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, who taught it to his companions, who wrote it down in the role of scribes and memorized it letter for letter. Millions of people of every generation have memorized the Holy Quran. Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide have this 600+ page Holy Book memorized by heart. Amongst the many proofs of Islam's truthfulness is that Islam speaks to the predisposition and innate belief that God has put in the hearts of every human. Take the concept of God, for instance. The idea of God is simple, understandable, and not complex as in other religions. Islam teaches the existence of only One Supreme Being, who is All-Mighty, All-Powerful, All-Knowing, All-Loving, who created the whole universe and everything in it. All other beings are creations of God and not the actual Creator. All the great religious disputes of the past pointed to One God, including Judaism. If there were more than one God, there would be chaos of gods fighting each other for control. If the gods did not fight each other for power and control, that would mean that these gods were dependent on and submissive to each other — in other words, not gods. All past prophets of God mentioned in the Old Testament stressed the teachings of One Creator. Islam acknowledges the historical progression of these great prophets sent by God to humanity, starting with Prophet Adam, Abraham, Noah, Jesus, and Prophet Muhammad PBUT. Islam acknowledges the continuation of these great Prophets of God, all who came with the same general message. Prophet Muhammad, PBUH, is part of this family of prophets, like Jesus Christ and the rest. While all Prophets came down with the same general message and theology, the laws they came with were fine-tuned based on the time, place, and circumstances of their existence. Muslims believe in all the past Prophets and Messengers that God continually sent, and Prophet Muhammad's Message was no different! The Prophets of God that Islam teaches were all holy, righteous men. None ever did anything immoral or questionable, as other religions such as Christianity wrongfully claimed. For those who think that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH might have fabricated his Prophethood for worldly gain, it is imperative to realize that the Prophet, believers from his family, and his companions went through many years of persecution, hardship, and lost kinship because they believed in and spread
How would one know their role and life purpose unless one received clear and practical instructions as to what God wants and expects of them? Thus comes the need for Prophethood. God has sent thousands of Messengers and Prophets to humanity to convey His Message and communicate to us. Every nation on Earth has received a Prophet. They all preached the same general message that there is only one deity worthy of worship, and we should follow His commandments. He is the One and Only God, without a partner, son, daughter, or equal. God sent Messengers and Prophets to guide humanity away from worshipping created beings and toward worshipping Him, the Creator of all things. Prophets came to teach their people who their Creator is, how to build a relationship with Him, and how to love Him. These Prophets taught their people that life is only a test; the successful will enter Paradise eternally, while the unsuccessful will undergo the ultimate punishment in the Hereafter. God sent Messengers with Revelation to humanity to guide them, starting with the Prophet Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad PBUT. Due to God's Love and Mercy, He began to guide humanity as soon as He created Adam and Eve PBUH. He instructed them to worship Him alone, the one and only God, and not worship His creation. He ordered them to submit fully to Him. Later, this message was given to the rest of the Messengers and Prophets of God to deliver to their people. The practice of fully submitting to God, which the Prophets taught, is Islam. Islam, by definition, means the act of submitting to God. A Muslim, by definition, is "someone who submits himself to God." Anyone who submits to God is called a Muslim. "He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein..." (Quran 42:13) Many of the Prophets are found in the Jewish and Christian traditions. Whenever God sent Messengers with Revelation, people distorted and changed the Revelation of God after they passed. What was once pure Revelation from God was polluted with the words of historians, scholars, random people, superstitions, irrational philosophical ideologies, and idol worship and included many malicious inserts and deletions throughout time, done for the person's own agenda and political and financial gain. Whenever people distorted the Message of God and His Revelation, God sent another Messenger or Prophet to reform or renew His Message out of His infinite Mercy. Jesus Christ was sent to reform the previous message sent by the Prophet before him, Prophet Moses PBUH, as Prophet Moses' Message was distorted after his departure. Jesus Christ is quoted in the Bible as saying, Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. (Matthew 5:17). Just like how Jesus Christ was sent to reform the message of the Prophet before him, Prophet Muhammad PBUH came to reform Prophet Jesus' Message because it had been too distorted by people after his departure and did not survive in its original form. Because God will not be sending any more Revelations and Messengers to humanity, Prophet Muhammad PBUH and God's final Revelation, the Holy Quran, is meant for all humanity until the last day. All previous Messengers and Books other than the Holy Quran and the Prophet Muhammad PBUH were sent to only a specific group of people and were meant to be followed for a particular period; they had expiration dates. For example, Prophet Jesus PBUH was one of God's mightiest Messengers, sent down with the same general Message of all previous Prophets but only to the Children of Israel—the nati
The Abrahamic religions share quite a few concepts among them. One of them is the creation of Lady Eve from the rib of Prophet Adam. In some accounts, the rib was a crooked one — explaining the stubborn nature of women. Does the Quran endorse these ideas?Listen to Sayed Moustafa Qazwini as he presents the Islamic point of view on this matter through a hadith of Imam Jafar al-Sadiq.This Podcast is a part of the #100Days100ClipsChallenge.To watch this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Yh8ywqORnVoTo help us create more content, visit: https://thaqlain.org/support.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/thaqlain/donations
