		<description>4:171. O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah anything but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His apostles. Say not &quot;Trinity&quot; : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah. Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. 

4:172. Christ disdains nor to serve and worship Allah, nor do the angels, those nearest (to Allah.: those who disdain His worship and are arrogant,-He will gather them all together unto Himself to (answer).

There is among them a section who distort the Book with their tongues: (As they read) you would think it is a part of the Book, but it is no part of the Book; and they say, &quot;That is from Allah,&quot; but it is not from Allah. It is they who tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it! (Quran 3:78. )

4:47. O ye People of the Book! believe in what We have (now) revealed, confirming what was (already) with you, before We change the face and fame of some (of you) beyond all recognition, and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers, for the decision of Allah Must be carried out.

4:48. Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.

IT is also stated that the Jews and Christians were originally given a portion of the book and it is better for them to believe in the whole of it ( ie the Quran)

4:51. Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were given a portion of the Book? they believe in sorcery and Evil, and say to the Unbelievers that they are better guided in the (right) way Than the believers! 

4:116. Allah forgiveth not (The sin of) joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth (all) other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, Hath strayed far, far away (from the right).</description>

		<description>Mary, 

It is not so much the argument of how Jesus came into being, it is the fact that there&#039;s only One God, one divine being, one entity that mankind should pray to, should ask forgiveness and guidance from. Substituting anything or anyone else in place of God, be it Jesus, money, wealth, pride, your boss or any tangible idols, is considered the biggest sin in the Quran and the only sin, which God will not forgive, though He will eventually forgive whatever else to whomever He pleases.

If read the two verses, which you quoted, in the context of the whole Quran or at least its own chapter you will understand that God is referring to the unchanged and uncorrupted section of the Bible. Or if you want to consider the Bible you have today, it is also possible that once you do judge by the changed Bible, you will see that it give no benefit or justice in your community and the just people will be led to understand the reasoning of the Quran. The parable of that is like letting a child make his/her mistakes.

God, also states,  warns and admonishes Jews and Christians against their incorrect beliefs in many different verses. 

Here&#039;s a few:

O people of the Book! There hath come to you our Messenger (i.e. Muhammad), revealing to you much that ye used to hide in the Book, and passing over much (that is now unnecessary). There hath come to you from God a (new) light and a perspicuous Book,- (Quran, chapter 5:15)

Say: “O people of the Book! exceed not in your religion the bounds (of what is proper), trespassing beyond the truth, nor follow the vain desires of people who went wrong in times gone by,- who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the even way. (Quran, chapter 5:77)</description>

		<description>Hello Twaha,

I&#039;ve been thinking and observing these comments sections and see that Christians are trying to convince Muslims through the use of our Holy Book, the Bible, that Jesus is the Son of God.

I understand what an extreme thought this is, even blasphemy, because it seems Christians are saying or implying that Allah had a physical relationship with Mary. I want to assure you that none of us Christians believe that and we consider that thought to be blasphemy same as you.

Despite our language about Jesus being Son of God, we do not think that God had sex with Mary. Is there any Christian in this prayer audience who thinks that? No, I&#039;m sure..

I don&#039;t want to get into an argument right now about what we mean when we say, Son of God, but we do believe Mary&#039;s pregnancy was virgin birth, just as the Qur&#039;an says.

But regarding the corruption of our Bible, I would like to comment. 

I do read the Qur&#039;an, and wish I could read it in the original Arabic, but I do urge all Arabic speakers to go to Al Maida, Sura =book for Christian readers) 5 vs.45 and 46. Also Al Imran Sura = book) 3:1,2  to read only three verses among many to see where the Tawrat and the Injeel are indeed confirmed by the Qur&#039;an.

I have cut and pasted these verses directly from Qur&#039;an Explorer which is a great tool I use to read the Qur&#039;an. 


(45) And We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in their footsteps, confirming that which was (revealed) before him in the Torah, and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light, confirming that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah - a guidance and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil). (46) Let the People of the Gospel judge by that which Allah hath revealed therein. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are evil-livers.

(1) Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. (2) He hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture with truth, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, even as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel. (</description>

		<description>PRAYER FOR THIS RAMZAAN AND EVERYDAY BEFORE AND AFTER RAMZAAN
Your Lord has said:” Make Dua to me, I will Respond to you” surah Ghafir 60.  Allaah says:I am indeed near to my them, I respond to the supplication of the supplicant. He also says: Never will I allow to be lost the work any of you be he male or female. surah Al-Imraan 
According to a Hadeeth: An Angel is appointed by Allaah, so when it hears someone saying:  “YA AR HAMARAH HEHMEEN” 3 times the Angel responds: “
No doubt, The Most Merciful has FOCUSED all his ATTENTION towards you, ASK FOR WHATEVER YOU PLEASE.”
When the Prophet Muhammad (SALLALLA HO ALAIYHE WASALLAM) heard someone saying: “YA AR HAMARAH HEHMEEN”, he said “ASK FOR WHATEVER YOU PLEASE FOR ALLAAH’S BOUNTIFUL GASE IS FOCUSED TOWARDS YOU”.

O Allaah give more people in the West Guidance, especially people in the Sports, Music, Film Industries and Government personnel from around the world let become rightly Guided and the guide other with the greatest of ease and do actions word and deeds of your Chosen Ones. O Allaah increase the level of guidance you give to the west by more than a 1000%. Let there be a time within the next 5 years that there are more than a third of the populations in each western country that are rightly guided Muslims and new Muslims.

O Allaah save us from the evils of the Jinn, Shaiytaan, Dajjal, Black Magic and Evil Eye and help us to learn the appropriate Dua’s to be safeguarded from them every day ,and all the way up to the time we meet you.

&gt;&gt;&gt; Sorry, I had to shorten this, it was much to long. The Editors &lt;&lt;&lt;</description>
