		<description>You christians really do not make sense. Your bible has been distorted and disfigured how can you possibly say you are speaking the truth when your bible isnt? How can you say that jesus was born(which is not his name by the way it is Isa Ibn Maryam [Isa the SON of Mary]) to a women but claim he is a SON of ALLAH. May  the anger and the curse of Allah continue to punish you and the jews for lying about our Prophets and more importantly about ALLAH glorified is HE and praised is HE, above anything that they associate as partners with him.</description>

		<description>There is a story of a Muslim in Norway who accepted Christianity when life became difficult for him. This website encourages to find these people in weak times and convert them. How sad it is that you openly prey on the down trodden as a means of conversion. Anyways, this youth from Norway ends up back at a mosque after a few years hitting his head repeatedly while shouting &quot;I have sold my faith for this world!&quot; 

Let me close by saying this: I know of Christians that when they are exposed to true Islam, they are amazed by it. I know of Christians who hear a verse from the Qur&#039;an and begin to cry proclaiming it&#039;s beauty. I tell them narrations and they are speechless and express their awe. They try to lie to themselves that they can never be Muslim because of what society tells them. They read the Bible and wonder why Christ questions God if he is His son. &quot;How,&quot; they ask, &quot;am I to understand God if Jesus (as) is supposed to be a part of God and yet, questions Him and thus, his own self?&quot; They turn to their faith with questions and close their eyes, trying to drown out &quot;the why&quot; and rely solely on a faith that is constantly teetering. 

Islam is the answer they seek.</description>

		<description>Deuteronomy 18:18 claims that a Prophet resembling Abraham (as) will come to bring the final word of God. Jesus (as) was not married or had children. But the Most Noble Prophet did. In fact Jesus (as) says in the Bible that a great prophet will follow him and his name is Ahmad, which is another name for Muhammad (saw). Indeed, the bible tells of the forthcoming of the Last Prophet of God over and over again. In fact, Jesus (as) testifies to this over and over again. 

The current translations that Christians use to say that Christ is a part of God by self proclamation in the Bible has proven to be misinterpreted, factually incorrect, mistranslated and even dispelled since most biblical scholars agree that this version is full or errors. King James is rife with errors and most Biblical historians concede some parts of it are essentially lies because the translation is very weak. In earlier texts, Jesus (as) says several times when people call him God, &quot;who are you calling me?&quot; 

The surfacing of other gospels which are carbon dated to the same era as the Biblical Gospels include the lost Gospel of Mary, Peter, Judas and Thomas, which were blacklisted by the early church for political reasons. In act the first Gnostics of the Christians were murdered by the Church as it decided what man wanted included and omitted from the Bible. It is believed that there are many lost Gospels due to this reason. The four that have been found and proven to be of the early era as the other Gospels prove that the Bible has many faces to it in relating the story of Christ and His disciples. At best, the current Bible is an incomplete, error prone and as produced by committee of exclusion to political and social whims of the Church. The fact that over the ensuing centuries is has been further butchered lays truth to the claim that what God said of the Bible it true, it has been tampered with by man in which lies are attributed to Him.

		<description>Christians, Jews and many other scholars and layman have challenged the teachers of the Qur&#039;an for many centuries. The most learned of the non-Muslims were humbled and defeated, even converting to Islam when met by the greatest interpreters of the Qur&#039;an and Sunnah (lifestyle of the Prophet), who were the Prophet&#039;s own progeny. Yet, these descendants would use the Old Testament and the New Testament to dispel the arguments of their opposing counterparts instead of the Qur&#039;an. Indeed many Christians and Jews were amazed that these descendants of the Most Noble Prophet knew the Bible, Torah and Pslams better than themselves. These religious leaders were the most humble, self sacrificing and the most true of all Muslims. 

One of the most famous debates took place between Imam Musa al-Rida (as) and other religious scholars. The Shia sect of Muslims hold these descendants of the Prophet in the highest regard and even their enemies agreed, there were no better men or women of virtue than them. 

One of the most famous stories of the Qur&#039;an and one which many Christians either do not know or remain silent about is when some of the highest Christian priests at the time, challenged Prophet Muhammad (saw) in debate for several days. Unable to defeat him in debate and unwilling to admit they were proven wrong, they engaged the Prophet in a mutual dual of invoking their belief in God to lift mercy from the other. The time was set for the next day. When the Christians saw the Holy personalities that the Prophet brought with him: his daughter Fatima (as), his son-in-law Ali (as) and his grandsons Hasan (as) and Hussain (as), the Christian priests cried out saying, &quot;By God! These are faces if turned upwards would bring down mountains!&quot; They ran to ask for a halt to the event, falling over themselves in recognition that the Prophet and his family were indeed of great piety and virtue with a close connection to God.

		<description>As a former Christian let me say several things, if you started with Genesis, most people would never become Christian. Do you know why? Christians believe that on the 7th day, God rested. This implies that God was tired from creating. An Omnipotent God, the beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega gets tired? Really? 

Christians and Jews believe that Prophets committed the following sins: incest, adultery, lying, murder, theft, calling themselves God, questioned His mission, etc., etc. Yes, in order to remove a Muslim from his faith, you have to attribute sins to the very people God entrusted to instruct and bring revelation to man. In fact, non-Muslims believe that even angels descended from Heaven to commit sin to fornicate with women.

One of the reasons devout Muslims do not believe in sins of prophets is quite simple: in the near physical presence with God and the metaphysical presence to receive revelation from Him or His angels, man would so humbled by His presence that they would be unable to sin. Thus the prophets recognized God in His essence. Before you chime in with Adam (as), this is where Muslims see differently. Because he was lied to by Satan and had never heard anyone lie, less invoking God&#039;s name to lie, Adam (as) did not know of this deceit. Furthermore, he committed the act of disobedience before he was granted Prophet-hood. It&#039;s a little more in-depth than what I describe, but it&#039;s an intricate way to look into the creation of man that lays to dust the contrived current day Bible. 

The Qur&#039;an, has the distinction of always having been kept in tact for over 1400 years. You will find no error from the first Arabic Qur&#039;an to the one printed today. The language has always kept it intact since it is God&#039;s divine word. God actually challenges man to come up with one chapter like it (the shortest chapter is three lines) and to date, no one has ever been able to match it&#039;s poignancy or truthfulness nor will they ever will...</description>

		<description>وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ

“and declare the greatness only of your Rabb(Lord)”

the letter wow (وَ) is usually translated as “and”, but this translation is over simplification. In the Qur’an, there are 21 ways وَ‘wa’ is used and one way is wow al musta’nifah, the wow that separates one sentence from another. In the English language, we would put a period and capitalize the next word in the sentence to show that a new one is beginning.

So this وَwow in the ayah is an indication of a new sentence, the sentence is:

رَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ

look at it more closely:

رب ب ك ف ك ب ب ر

Rabbaka-fa-Kabbir…when you look at it both ways! SubhanAllah! In English, this is called a “palindrome”, when a word is looked at backwards and forwards and has the same spelling. (race car, radar, mom etc).

In order to construct a palindrome, one would have to look up words, check their spellings, find their definitions, write it down a few times to see if it works and so on…a lot of work! BUT:</description>
