			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Death:</strong></p>
<p>Say O! Muhammad: Death, from which you are fleeing, will certainly catch up with you.Then you will be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible and He will inform you about what you did. (Surat al-Jumu’ah:8)</p>
<p>Every soul shall have a taste of death: And only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid our full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception. -3:185</p>
<p>O you who believe! Do not be like those who disbelieve and say of their brothers, when they went on journeys or military expeditions, If they had only been with us, they would not have died or been killed. God will cause them to regret their words. It is God Who ordains life and death. God sees what you do. (3: 156)  </p>
<p>&#8220;Wherever you are, death will find you out, even if you are in towers built up strong and high!&#8221; …4:78</p>
<p>Whatever you have been given is only the enjoyment of this life of the world. What is with God is better and longer lasting for those who have faith and trust in their Lord.-42:36</p>
<p>Know that the life of the world is merely a game and a diversion, ostentation and a cause of boasting among yourselves, and a quest to outdo one another in wealth and children. It is like the plants which flourish after rain: this delights the cultivators, but then they wither and you see them turning yellow, and then they become broken stubble. In the Hereafter a terrible punishment awaits you but also forgiveness from God and His good pleasure. The life of the world is nothing but the enjoyment of delusion-57:20 <strong> </strong></p>
<p>When death comes to a wrong doer, he says,’ My Lord, send me back again, so that perhaps I may act rightly regarding the things I failed to do!’.’No indeed! It is just words he utters. Before them shall stand a barrier until the Day they are raised up.’-23:99-100.</p>
<p>How will it be when the angels take them in death, beating their faces and their backs? That is because they followed what angers God and hated what is pleasing to Him. So He made their actions come to nothing.-47:27-28 </p>
<p>If only you could see when the angels take back those who were disbelievers when they died, beating their faces and their backs: Taste the punishment of the Burning! That is for what you did. God does not wrong His slaves. (8: 50-51)  </p>
<p>He will say, How many years did you stay on the earth? They will say, We stayed there for a day or part of a day. Ask those able to count! He will say,You only stayed there for a little while if you did but know! Did you suppose that We created you for amusement and that you would not return to Us? (23: 112-115)  </p>
<p>Do they imagine that, in the wealth and children We give to them, We are hastening to them with good things? No indeed, but they have no awareness! (23: 55-56)  </p>
<p>Do not let their wealth and children impress you. Through them God merely wants to punish them during their life in the world and for them to expire while they are unbelievers. (9: 55)  </p>
<p>Those who are disbelievers should not imagine that the extra time We grant to them is for their good. We only allow them more time so they will increase their evil-doing. They will have a humiliating punishment. (3: 178)</p>
<p> If only you could see the evil-doers hanging their heads in shame before their Lord: Our Lord, we have seen and we have heard, so send us back again and we will act rightly.Truly, we are now firm believers-32:12</p>
<p>(It will be said to them): So taste this. Because you forgot the meeting of this Day, We have forgotten you too. Taste the eternal punishment for your misdeeds. (32: 12-14)</p>
<p>There they will cry out: Our Lord! take us out! We will act rightly, differently from the way we used to act! Did We not let you live long enough for anyone who was going to pay heed to pay heed? And did not the warner come to you? Taste this then! There is no helper for the wrongdoers. (35: 37)</p>
<p>Give from what We have provided for you before death comes to one of you and he says, My Lord, if only you would give me a little more time so that I can give alms and be one of the righteous! But God will not give anyone more time, once their time has come. God is aware of what you do.(63:10-11)</p>
<p> You who have faith! Have fear of God and let each self look to what it has sent forward for tomorrow. Have fear of God. God is aware of what you do. Do not be like those who have forgotten God, so that He has made them forget themselves. Such people are evildoers.-(59: 18-19)</p>
<p>  </p>
<p><strong>Resurrection:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>&#8230;Yet man still wants to deny what is ahead of him, asking, So when is the Day of Resurrection? But when the eyesight is dazzled, and the moon is eclipsed, and the sun and moon are fused together, on that Day man will say, Where can I run? No indeed! There will be no safe place. That Day the only resting place will be your Lord. (Surat al-Qiyamah:5-12)</p>
<p> He makes likenesses of Us and forgets his own creation, saying, Who will give life to bones when they are decayed? (Surah Ya sin: 78)<strong></strong></p>
<p> Say  He who made them in the first place will bring them back to life. He has total knowledge of each created thing. (Surah Ya sin: 79)</p>
<p> They swear by God with their most earnest oaths that God will not raise up those who die, when, on the contrary, it is a binding promise on Him; but most people do not know it.(Surat an-Nahl: 38)</p>
<p> They say, There is nothing but our existence in the world. We die and we live and nothing destroys us except for time. They have no knowledge of that. They are only conjecturing. (Surat Al-Jathiyah: 23-24)</p>
<p> God takes back people s selves when their death arrives and those who have not yet died, while they are asleep. He keeps hold of those whose death has been decreed and sends the others back for a specified term. There are certainly Signs in that for people who reflect. (Surat az-Zumar: 42)</p>
<p> It is He who causes you to be (like) dead at night, while knowing the things you perpetrate by day, and then brings you back to life (wakes you up) again, so that a specified term may be fulfilled. Then you will return to Him. Then He will inform you about what you did.(Surat al-An am: 60)</p>
<p> They will say, Alas for us! Who has raised us from our resting-place? This is what the All-Merciful promised us. The Messengers were telling the truth. (Surah Ya sin: 52)</p>
<p> For when the Trumpet is blown, that Day will be a difficult day, not easy for the disbelievers. (Surat al-Muddaththir: 8-10)</p>
<p> When the Deafening Blast comes, the Day a man will flee from his brother and his mother and his father, and his wife and his children: on that Day every man among them will have concerns enough of his own. (Surah Abasa: 33-37)</p>
<p> So when the Trumpet is blown with a single blast, and the earth and the mountains are lifted and crushed with a single blow, on that Day, the Dread Event will come to pass.(Surat al-Haqqah: 13-15)</p>
<p> They do not measure God with His true measure. The whole earth will be a mere handful for Him on the Day of Resurrection, the heavens folded up in His right hand. Glory be to Him! He is exalted above the partners they ascribe! (Surat az-Zumar: 67)</p>
<p> Mankind, have fear of your Lord! The quaking of the Hour is a terrible thing. On the day they see it, every nursing woman will be oblivious of the baby at her breast, and every pregnant woman will abort the contents of her womb, and you will think people drunk when they are not drunk; it is just that the punishment of God is so severe. (Surat al-Hajj: 1-2)</p>
<p> &#8230;and the moon is eclipsed, and the sun and moon are fused together. On that Day man will say, Where can I run? No indeed! There will be no safe place. That Day the only resting place will be your Lord. (Surat al-Qiyamah: 8-12)</p>
<p> They will ask you about the mountains. Say: My Lord will scatter them as dust. He will leave them as a barren, level plain on which you will see no dip or gradient. (Surah Ta ha: 105-107)</p>
<p> &#8230;That Day they will emerge swiftly from their graves as if rushing to rally to the flag.(Surat al-Ma arij: 43)</p>
<p> With necks outstretched, eyes transfixed, rushing headlong to the Summoner, the disbelievers will say: This is a pitiless day! (Surat al-Qamar:8)</p>
<p> On the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against God with their faces blackened. Do not the arrogant have a dwelling place in Hell? (Surat az-Zumar: 60)</p>
<p> But if anyone turns away from My reminder, his life will be a dark and narrow one and on the Day of Resurrection he will come before Us blind. He will say, My Lord, why have you brought me blind before you when before I was able to see? He will say, Just as Our Signs came to you and you forgot them, in the same way you too are forgotten today.(Surah Ta Ha:124-126)</p>
<p> Whoever God guides is truly guided. But as for those He leads astray, you will not find any protectors for them apart from Him. We will bring them before Us on the Day of Resurrection, flat on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf. Their shelter will be Hell. Whenever the Blaze dies down, We will increase it for them. (Surah al-Isra : 97)</p>
<p> No good friend will ask about his friend, even though they can see each other. An evildoer will wish he could ransom himself from the punishment of that Day, by means of his sons, or his wife or his brother or his family who sheltered him or everyone else on earth, if only that meant that he could save himself. But no! It is a Raging Blaze. (Surat al-Ma arij:10-15)</p>
<p> On that day they will follow the Summoner who has no falsity in him at all. Voices will be hushed before the All-Merciful and You shall hear only the sound of marching feet.On that Day intercession will not be of any use except for him whom the All-Merciful has authorised and with whose word He is well-pleased. He knows what is in front of them and behind them. But their knowledge does not encompass Him.Faces will be humbled before the Living, the All-Sustaining One. And anyone weighed down with wrongdoing will have failed. (Surah Ta Ha: 108-111)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No indeed! When the earth is crushed and ground to dust and your Lord arrives with the angels rank upon rank and that Day Hell is produced, that Day man will remember; but how will the remembrance help him? He will say, Oh! If only I had prepared in advance for this life of mine! That Day no one will punish as He punishes and no one will shackle as He shackles. (Surat al-Fajr: 21-26)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8230; even if something weighs as little as a mustard-seed and is inside a rock or anywhere else in the heavens or earth, God will bring it out. God is All-Pervading, All-Aware. (Surah Luqman: 16)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But as for him who is given his Book in his left hand, he will say, If only I had not been given my Book and had not known about my Reckoning! If only death had really been the end! My wealth has been of no use to me. My power has vanished. (Surat al-Haqqah:25-29)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But as for him who is given his Book behind his back, he will cry out for destruction,but will be roasted in a Searing Blaze. He used to be joyful in his people. He thought that he was never going to return. But in fact his Lord was always watching him! (Surat al-Inshiqaq: 10-15)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We will set up the Just Balance on the Day of Resurrection and no soul will be wronged in any way. Even if it is no more than the weight of a grain of mustard-seed, We will produce it. We are sufficient as a Reckoner. (Surat an-Anbiya : 47)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the Day, We crowd the enemies of God into the Fire and they are driven in close-packed ranks;</p>
<p>when they reach it, their hearing, sight and skin will testify against them concerning what they did. They will ask their skins, Why did you testify against us? and they will reply, God gave us speech as He has given speech to everything. He created you in the first place and you will be returned to Him. You did not think to shield yourselves from your hearing, sight and skin testifying against you and you thought that God would never know much of what you did. It is that thought you had about your Lord that has destroyed you, so now you find yourselves among the lost. If they are steadfast, the Fire will still be their residence! If they ask for pardon, they will not receive it. (Surah Fussilat: 19-24)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On that Day, woe to the deniers! This is the Day they will not say a single word, nor will they be allowed to offer any excuses. On that Day, woe to the deniers! This is the Day of Decision. We have gathered you and the earlier peoples. So if you have any cunning, use it against Me now! On that Day, woe to the deniers! (Surat al-Mursalat: 34-40)</p>
<p>                                                                          </p>
<p>                                                                             <strong>HELL</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8230;He (the denier) reflected and he schemed. Curse him, how he schemed! Again curse him, how he schemed! Then he looked. Then he frowned and glowered. Then he drew back and was proud. He said, This is nothing but magic from the past. This is nothing but the words of a mere mortal! I will roast him in the Fire. What will convey to you what the Fire is? It does not spare anyone and it does not ease up, ceaselessly scorching the flesh. (Surat al-Muddaththir: 18-29)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8230;those who are too arrogant to serve Me will surely find themselves in Hell – in humiliation! (Surat al-Mu min: 60)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When Our Signs are recited to them &#8211; Clear Signs &#8211; you can detect denial in the faces of those who are disbelievers. They all but assault those who recite Our Signs to them! Say: Shall I inform you of something worse than that? The Fire which God has promised those who are disbelievers. What an evil destination! (Surat al-Hajj: 72)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for those who are rebellious and wicked, their abode will be the Fire. Every time they wish to get away from it, they will be forced into it, and they will be told: Taste the Penalty of the Fire, which you were wont to reject as false. (Surat as-Sajdah: 20)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They will want to get out of the Fire but they will not be able to. They will have an everlasting punishment. (Surat al-Ma idah: 37)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When they are flung into it, they will hear it gasping harshly as it seethes. It all but bursts with rage. Each time a group is flung into it, its custodians will question them: Did no warner come to you? (Surat al-Mulk: 7-8)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Those who are disbelievers will be driven to Hell in companies and when they arrive there and its gates are opened its custodians will say to them, Did Messengers from yourselves not come to you, reciting your Lord s Signs to you and warning you of the meeting on this Day of yours? They will say, Indeed they did, but the decree of punishment is justly carried out against the disbelievers. They will be told, Enter the gates of Hell and stay there timelessly, for ever. How evil is the abode of the arrogant! (Surat az-Zumar: 71-72)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the Day He says to Hell, Are you full? it will ask, Are there no more to come? (Surah Qaf: 30)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will roast him in hellfire. What will convey to you what hellfire is? It does not spare anyone and it does not ease up, ceaselessly scorching the flesh. (Surat al-Muddaththir: 26-29)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>None punishes as He will punish on that day! None binds as He then will bind. (Surat al-Fajr: 25-26)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Burn in the flames of hell. It makes no difference whether you bear it with patience, or not. (Surat at-Tur: 16)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into hell. As often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, so that they may taste the penalty.For God is Exalted in Power and Wise. (Surat an-Nisa : 56)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They will say on the Day their faces are rolled over in the Fire, If only we had obeyed God and obeyed the Messenger! (Surat al-Ahzab:66)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8230;wearing shirts of tar, their faces enveloped in the Fire. (Surah Ibrahim: 50)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Fire will sear their faces, making them grimace horribly in it, their lips drawn back from their teeth. (Surat al-Mu minun: 104)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The deviators will be firewood for Hellfire. (Surat al-Jinn:15)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for those who are disbelievers, their wealth and children will not help them against God in any way. They are fuel for the Fire. (Surah Al Imran: 10)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You and what you worship besides God are fuel for Hell. You will go down into it. (Surat al-Anbiya : 98)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And if he is one of the misguided deniers, there is the hospitality of scalding water and roasting in the Blazing Fire. This is indeed the Truth of Certainty. (Surat al-Waqi ah: 92-95)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Seize him and drag him bodily into the middle of the Blazing Fire. Then pour the punishment of boiling water on his head. Taste that! You are the mighty one, the noble one! This is the very thing you used to doubt. (Surat ad-Dukhan: 47-50)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8230;As for those who hoard up gold and silver and do not spend it in the Way of God, give them the news of a painful punishment. The Day will surely come when they are heated up in the fire of Hell and their foreheads, sides and backs are branded with it: This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you were hoarding! (Surat at-Tawbah: 34-35)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hell, where they will roast. What an evil resting-place! This! So let them taste it -boiling water and scalding pus, and other such torments. (Surah Sad: 56-58)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When they are flung into a narrow place in it, shackled together in chains, they will cry out there for destruction. Do not cry out today for just one destruction, cry out for many destructions! (Surat al-Furqan: 13-14)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the Day when those who were disbelievers are exposed to the Fire, (it will be said): You dissipated the good things you had in your worldly life and enjoyed yourself in so doing. So today you are being repaid with the punishment of humiliation for being arrogant on the earth without any right and for being deviators. (Surat al-Ahqaf: 20)</p>
<p>Is that better by way of hospitality or the tree of Zaqqum which We have made to be an ordeal for the wrongdoers? It is a tree that emerges in the depths of the Blazing Fire. Its fruits are just like the heads of devils. They will eat from it and fill their bellies with it. (Surat as-Saffat: 62-66)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They have no food but a bitter thorny bush which neither nourishes nor satisfies.(Surat al-Ghashiyah: 6-7)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not tasting any coolness there or any drink, except for boiling water and scalding pus a fitting recompense. (Surat an-Naba : 24-26)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Therefore here today he has no friend nor any food except exuding pus which no one will eat except those who were in error. (Surat al-Haqqah: 35-37)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And beyond him is Hell where he will be given pus to drink. He gulps at it but can hardly swallow it down. Death comes at him from every side, but he does not die. And beyond him is relentless punishment. (Surah Ibrahim: 16-17)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Companions of the Fire will call out to the Companions of the Garden, Throw down some water to us or some of what God has given you as provision. They will say, God has forbidden them to the disbelievers. (Surat al-A raf: 50)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8230;Those who are disbelievers will have garments of fire cut out for them&#8230; (Surat al-Hajj: 19)</p>
<p>&#8230;wearing shirts of tar, their faces enveloped in the Fire. (Surah Ibrahim: 50)</p>
<p>They will have Hell as a resting-place and covering layers on top of them. That is how We repay wrongdoers. (Surat al-A raf: 41)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You who have faith! Safeguard yourselves and those who are close to you from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones. Harsh, terrible angels are in charge of it who do not disobey God in respect of any order He gives them and carry out what they are ordered to do. (Surat at-Tahrim: 6)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No indeed! If he does not desist, We will grab him by the forelock, his lying, sinful forelock. Let him call his attendants; We will call the Guards of Hell! No indeed! Do not obey him, but prostrate yourself and draw near. (Surat al- Alaq: 15-18)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Woe to every faultfinding backbiter who has amassed wealth and hoarded it! He thinks his wealth will make him live for ever. No indeed! He will be flung into the Shatterer. And what will convey to you what the Shatterer is? The kindled Fire of God reaching right into the heart. It is sealed in above them in towering columns. (Surat al-Humazah: 1-9)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Those who are disbelievers should not imagine that the extra time We grant to them is good for them. We only allow them more time so that they will increase their evil-doing. They will have a  humiliating punishment. (Surah Al Imran: 178)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8230;On the Day that they are dragged face-first into the Fire. (It will be said): Taste the scorching touch of Hell! (Surat al-Qamar: 48)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Seize him and drag him bodily into the middle of the Blazing Fire. Then pour the punishment of boiling water on his head. Taste that! You are the mighty one, the noble one! This is the very thing you used to doubt. (Surat ad-Dukhan: 47-50)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Seize him and truss him up. Then roast him in the Blazing Fire. Then bind him in a chain which is seventy cubits long. He used not to have faith in God the Magnificent, nor did he urge the feeding of the poor. (Surat al-Haqqah: 30-34)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8230;they have shackles and chains around their necks and are dragged along the ground into the boiling water and then are thrown into the Fire! Then they will be asked, Where are those besides God you associated with Him? (Surat al-Mu min: 71-73)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8230; If you are surprised at their blindness, what could be more surprising than their words: What, when we are turned to dust, shall we then be created all anew? These are the people who reject their Lord. Such people have iron collars round their necks. Such people are the Companions of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (Surat ar-Ra d: 5)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8230;that Day you will see the evil-doers yoked together in chains, wearing shirts of tar,their faces enveloped in the Fire. So that God may repay every self for what it earned. God is swift at reckoning. (Surah Ibrahim: 49-51)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Those who are disbelievers will have garments of fire cut out for them, and boiling water poured over their heads, which will melt the contents of their bellies as well as their skin, and they will be beaten with cudgels made of iron. (Surat al-Hajj: 19-21)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They will say on the Day their heads roll about in the Fire, If only we had obeyed God and obeyed the Messenger! And they will say, Our Lord, we obeyed our masters and great men and they led us away from the right path. Our Lord, give them double the punishment and curse them many times over! (Surat al-Ahzab: 66-68)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Arguing in it with one another, they will say, By God, we were plainly misguided when We equated you with the Lord of all the worlds. It was only the evil-doers who misguided us and now we have</p>
<p>no one to intercede for us; we do not have a single loyal friend. If only we could have another chance, then we would be among the believers! There is certainly a Sign in that, yet most of them are not believers. (Surat ash-Shu ara: 96-103)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is a troop rushing headlong with you! There is no welcome for them. They will certainly roast in the Fire. (And the damned will say to their leaders), No, it is you who have no welcome. It is you who brought this upon us. What an evil place to settle! They will say, Our Lord, give him who brought this on us double the punishment in the Fire! But how is it that we do not see some men whom we used to count among the worst of people and whom we turned into figures of fun? Did our eyes miss them? All this is certainly true &#8211; the bickering of the people of the Fire. (Surah Sad: 59-64)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Those in the Fire will say to the custodians of Hell, Call on your Lord to make the punishment less for us for just one day. They will ask, Did your Messengers not bring you the Clear Signs? They will answer, Yes. Then they (their keepers) will say, Offer your prayers! But the prayers of the disbelievers shall be in vain. (Surat al-Mu min: 49-50)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In Gardens they will ask the evil-doers: What caused you to enter Hell? They will reply, We were not among those who prayed and we did not feed the poor. We engaged in vain disputes and denied the Day of Judgment until the inevitable end overtook us. The pleas of the intercessors will not help them. (Surat al-Muddaththir: 40-48)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Every time they want to come out of it, because of their suffering, they will be driven back into it: Taste the punishment of the Burning! (Surat al-Hajj: 22)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Say: It is the truth from your Lord; so let whoever wishes have faith and whoever wishes be a disbeliever. We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose billowing walls of smoke will hem them in. If they call for help, they will be showered with water like seething molten brass, which will scald their faces. What a noxious drink! What an evil repose! (Surat al-Kahf: 29)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>God has promised the hypocrites, both men and women, and the disbelievers the Fire of Hell. They shall remain in it timelessly, for ever. It will suffice them. God has cursed them. They will have everlasting punishment. (Surat at-Tawbah: 68)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If those (the idols) had really been gods, they would not have gone down into it. Each one will be in it timelessly, for ever. (Surat al-Anbiya : 99)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for those who are disbelievers, the Fire of Hell awaits them. Death shall not deliver them, nor shall its punishment be lightened for them. That is how We repay every thankless man. (Surah Fatir: 36)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>                                                                 Was Christ Crucified?</strong></p>
<p>JESUS (PBUH) WAS RAISED UP ALIVE</p>
<p>That they said (in boast), &#8220;We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:- Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;- 4:157-158</p>
<p> Crucify: To put to death by nailing on Cross.</p>
<p> Resurrection: Act of rising from the dead.</p>
<p>In any event, if there is any division between a Muslim and a Christian on the grounds of dogma, belief, ethics or morality, then the cause of such conflict could be traced to an utterance of Paul found in his books of Corinthians, Phillipians, Galatians, Thessolanians, etc., in the Bible. As against the teaching of the Master (Jesus) that salvation only comes through keeping of the commandments (Mathew 19:16-17), Paul nails the law and the commandments to the cross  (Colossians 2:14) and claims that salvation can only be obtained through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ: -<strong> &#8221;If Christ be not risen from the dead, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain.&#8221;-I Corinthians 15:14</strong></p>
<p> According to St. Paul, there is nothing that Christianity can offer mankind, other than the blood and gore of Jesus. If Jesus did NOT die, and he was NOT resurrected from the dead, then there can be NO salvation in Christianity! &#8220;For all your good deeds&#8221;, says the Christians, &#8220;are like filthy rags&#8221; — (Isaiah 64:6).</p>
<p><strong>According to Paul-Resurrected bodies are spiritualised.</strong></p>
<p> <strong>So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.-1 Corinthians 15:42-44. </strong></p>
<p><strong>According to Jesus also Resurrected bodies are angelised or spiritualised.</strong></p>
<p> Gospel of Luke: 20:27-36-(Story of a wife with seven husbands.)&#8230;. But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world and <strong>the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels;</strong> and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection-Luke 20:35-36.</p>
<p> <strong>Upper Room: </strong></p>
<p>After the alleged crucifiction when the disciples met in the upper room Jesus comes to the Upper room.</p>
<p><strong>And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.-Luke 24:36-37</strong></p>
<p>Why disciples thought Jesus to be a spirit? Was Jesus looked like spirit? They were terrified because they heard that Jesus was put on the cross and died on the cross and he was buried for three days in the grave. They heard it because they were not the eye witness. According to Mark: 14:50-And they all forsook him, and fled.</p>
<p><strong><em>And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.-Luke 24:38-40 </em></strong></p>
<p>Was he trying to prove that He is resurrected? No! He proved that he was not resurrected. According to Jesus and Paul only resurrected bodies are spiritualised. So Jesus was not a spirit.</p>
<p>And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them.-Luke 24:41-43.</p>
<p>The disciples were overjoyed they had thought that he was dead and gone, but here with them stands their Master, with flesh and bones — with 100% characteristics of a man ALIVE! Jesus ate to prove that he was a physical body and he was not resurrected.</p>
<p><strong>Why was the stone moved?</strong></p>
<p> It was Sunday morning, according to the Bible, the first day of the week, when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus.</p>
<p>The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.- John 20: Verse 1.</p>
<p> And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. &#8211; Mark: 16:2</p>
<p>Why Magdalene does wants to go to the tomb on the third day when Jesus was dead? Answer is -And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.-Mark 16:1 T</p>
<p>he Hebrew word for anoint is &#8220;masaha&#8221;, which means &#8211; &#8216;to rub&#8217;, &#8216;to massage&#8217;, &#8216;to anoint&#8217;. The word and its meaning are the same in the Arabic language also. From this root word &#8220;masaha&#8221; we get the Arabic word &#8220;MASEEH&#8221; and the Hebrew &#8220;MESSIAH&#8221; both meaning the same thing &#8211; &#8220;the anointed one&#8221; which is translated into Greek as &#8220;Christos&#8221; from which we derive the word Christ.</p>
<p> Do Jews massage the dead body on the third day? Have you heard such Jews practise? No! Do Christians massage dead body on the third day? Do Muslims do this? No! Why Magdalene went to the tomb? Why does she want to massage the dead body which is in the state of decomposition? She was one among the people who gave burial bath besides Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus and after Jesus was taken from the cross she must have seen life in the limbs of Jesus and if she would have said at that time they would have put him to death again. and she came to the tomb to see the live Jesus</p>
<p>John 20:1-The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.</p>
<p>And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.-Mark-16:4</p>
<p>Dr Hugh J Schonfield, one of the world’s leading Biblical scholars says, When Mary of Magdala reached the tomb, she found that the stone had already been rolled away, and the Winding sheets bundled on the ledge within the sepulchre.</p>
<p> Why the stone has to be removed and why the winding sheets has been unwound and placed at the side? If he was resurrected then why the stone has to be removed becoz a spiritual body cannot be stopped by the closed stone. So why it was removed? If the spirits has to move then is it require that the sheets has to be unwounded? Spiritual body has no flesh and bones. Why the sheet was unwounded? If it is a physical body the sheets has to be unwounded and the stone has to be removed. The physical body who came out of the tomb was Jesus.</p>
<p> The tomb was a private property of the secret disciple Joseph of Arimathea-who was a rich and influential Jew-According to Jim Bishop a Christian scholar the tomb was 5 feet wide, 7 feet high by 15 feet deep. The tomb was roomy and spacious. Why to use a spacious room for a dead person proving that he was alive.</p>
<p>Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away-John 20:15</p>
<p>Do resurrected bodies look like gardener? Why did she think him as a gardener? Answer is he was disguised as a gardener. Why? He was disguised because he was afraid of Jews. Why the spiritual body has to be afraid of? No one can harm them nor they can die? Why does the spiritual body is in disguise? Why should he be hiding? WHY WAS HE AFRAID OF THE JEWS? Because he had not DIED and was not RESURRECTED. If he had DIED and if he was RESURRECTED, he would not have any reason to be AFRAID. Why? Because the resurrected body can’t DIE twice. Who says so? The Bible says so:</p>
<p>And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:&#8211;a man dies only once and after that is the day of judgement- (Hebrew 9:27). Gospel of Luke 20: 36-Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels.</p>
<p>The idea that the resurrected person cannot die TWICE. WHAT DOES SHE WANT TO DO WITH A DECOMPOSING CORPSE? Answer: She wants to bury him? If so, who dug the grave? No! No! She wants to take him away’. HOW CAN SHE ALONE CARRY A DEAD BODY? Answer: She is not thinking of a dead, rotting corpse. She is looking for the L-I-V-E Jesus. Even if she could carry it, how was she to bury it ALONE? She was looking for a Jesus who was very much alive, a Jesus she could hold by the hand and take him home for rest, relaxation and recuperation, “so that, I might take him away”.</p>
<p>Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.-John 20:16 This one word “Mary!” did, all that the exchange of words failed to do. It enabled Mary to recognise Jesus. It was not the mere sound of the name, but the way he must have deliberately intoned it that made Mary to respond &#8211; Master!, Master! She lunged forward to grab her spiritual master, to pay her respects and to give reverence. When Mary makes the effort, Jesus shies back a step or two, saying, TOUCH me not,” (John 20:17).</p>
<p>Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father…John 20:17 Why Jesus asked Magdalene not to touch him? Is he a current of electricity or a dynamo? If she touches him will she be electrocuted? Because he was tortured and supposedly put on the cross. So imagine the physical pain he endured and since he was a physical body it will hurt him. He continues and says that he is not ascended to the father meaning that he is not dead. Proving he was not resurrected and he didn’t die and he is alive. What Jesus is telling Mary in so many different words is that HE IS NOT RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD, for in the colloquial language and idiom of the Jew, the expression, “For I am not yet ASCENDED unto my Father” means &#8211; ‘I AM NOT DEAD YET. Mary Magdalene &#8211; was not AFRAID when she recognised the DISGUISED Jesus yet ten brave men (the Disciples of Jesus) were PETRIFIED on recognising their Master in that upper-room, after his alleged passion. Mark: 16:11-And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.-The disciples heard that Jesus was alive from Mary Magdalene and they believed.</p>
<p><strong>What was the sign of Jonah?</strong></p>
<p> Jews trouble by asking questions. They troubled Moses and Jesus.</p>
<p>Matthew 12:38- Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee&#8212;- Jews demanded a miraculous sign.</p>
<p>Matthew 12:39-40.But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale&#8217;s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth..</p>
<p>Jesus scolded them and didn’t give any miracles but he told them about sign of Jonah. He is putting all his eggs in one basket. Read the story of Jonah in the book of Jonah Chapters 1-4&#8230;</p>
<p>Was Jonah alive or not before they threw him to the sea? He was alive becoz he volunteered himself as he did a sin. When the fish comes and swallows him was he alive or dead? Alive. He prays to God in the stomach of whale was he alive or dead? Alive. The whale take Jonah 3 days and 3 nights was he alive or dead? Alive. When the fish threw him from its stomach was he dead or alive? Alive. This is the Miracle of Miracles because he should have died but he was alive. Jesus should be alive all the three days and three nights because he said as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale&#8217;s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth&#8230; If they Christians say that he was dead then he is Unlike Jonah then he didn’t fulfil the prophecy then he is a liar which we Muslims don’t agree because we love him and we respect him and Jesus is not a liar. For him to fulfil the prophecy he needs to be alive. As we have seen many proofs above that he was not dead and he was alive and this sign of Jonah also shows that he was alive.</p>
<p><strong> Emphasis on the Time Factor:</strong> They lay their emphasis on the time factor which is illogical. The trial was in a hurry and he was put to death on Friday. Because no one can stay overnight and the following day was a Sabbath and the land will be cursed (Book of Deuteronomy 21:23) They give the burial bath late in the evening and they put him in the sepulcher&#8230; John 20:1 Sunday morning Magdalene went and found that the stone was moved. Bible didn’t say when he left the tomb. Supposedly if he would have left on early Sunday Morning. He would have left even on Friday night but for the sake of argument let us keep it with in John 20:1 Friday Night- Saturday day-Saturday Night-Sunday early morning so 2 nights one day. So this is not fulfilled so he was alive as per Jonah prophecy. Even you take Sunday as day still it is not fulfilled. Hence, No Crucifixion and No Resurrection.</p>
<p><strong>Summary: </strong></p>
<p>1) He was put on the cross and brought down in a hurry. Jesus was on the cross only for 3 hours. He brought down and so he was alive. Because it is difficult for a person to die in 3 hours. So he was alive</p>
<p>2) Even his two cross mates was alive proving that he was alive.</p>
<p> 3) Jesus legs were not broken.</p>
<p> 4) The stone was removed and the winding sheets were unwound proving that he was alive</p>
<p> 5) He was disguised as a Gardener. Why? Because he was alive and he was trying to save himself from Jews.</p>
<p>6) The tomb was roomy and spacious. Why to use a spacious room for a dead person proving that he was alive.</p>
<p> 7) Jesus forbade Magdalene to touch him. When Mary Magdalene goes to touch him, he says touch me not. Why? Because he was physical body because he was alive. It will hurt him. He was in pain proving that he was alive.</p>
<p> 8) Jesus says “I have not yet ascended unto my father that means he was alive</p>
<p>9) Mary Magdalene not afraid recognizing Jesus</p>
<p> 10) In the upper room Jesus shows his hands and feet to prove that he was not spirit but he was alive.</p>
<p> 11) Disciples were overjoyed to see him because they thought he was dead and spirit has formed. But they were overjoyed because he was alive</p>
<p>12) He ate a piece of broiled fish and honeycomb to prove that he was alive</p>
<p>13) The disciples had heard from Magdalene that Jesus was alive</p>
<p> 14) Sign of Jonah. As Jonah was for 3days and 3 nights in the belly of whale so shall the son of man in the heart of earth alive and alive.</p>
<p>If he is put on the cross and died then it is Crucifixion and if he is put on the cross and not died then it is called? Crucifiction. He was not crucified but Crucificted. Q: 3:54.</p>
<p><strong>Atonement of sin:</strong> Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.-genesis 3:16-Pregnancy is curse</p>
<p> Ezekiel chap 18:20 &#8212; The soul that sinneth, it shall die.</p>
<p> The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. ………………………..the soul that sinneth, it shall die.—Ezekiel chap 18:4</p>
<p>But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.—same chapter:21</p>
<p>This is very clear that Sin is not inherited. It is Paul who says that Jesus died for our sins. Did Jesus say that I am dying for all your sins? This ideology of Jesus died on the cross is not accepted by all scholars some say that Jesus was resuscitated. In the early days of Christianity there were 7 sects who believed that Jesus was not crucified but someone else was crucified and they call it as a Substitution Theory. The early Barcelanian The Carpocates The Nazarites The coronthian they all believed in this theory. Gospel of Barnabas. He was the contemporary of Jesus and was an eye witness and he said that Judas was put on the cross. If you read the scrolls of Najah Hammadi we can see that Jesus was not crucified. But many Christians don’t believe in that.</p>
<p> Matthew 27:46 Mark: 15:34—Jesus did not go willingly on the cross so Jesus didn’t voluntarily died for the sins. It is Paul’s teaching.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;Do they not then consider the Qur’an carefully?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">God created man for a noble purpose: to worship Him and lead a righteous life based </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">on His commands and guidance to mankind. Mankind learned this by God sending </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Messengers with clear and practical instructions of the meaning of life and how to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">worship God properly. God also revealed to these Prophets and Messengers</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">knowledge about what will happen after death and the rewards and punishments for </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">one’s actions.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">These Prophets and Messengers convey the same prevailing message which is </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">entrusted to them by God. They proclaimed:<span>                               </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;…Oh my people! Worship God! (i.e., without associating anything with him) You </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">have no other god but Him</span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">. [Qur'an: 7:65]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">God sent a Prophet and/or Messenger to every nation throughout the history of  </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">mankind.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation) a messenger </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(proclaiming): Worship Allah (Alone) and avoid (or keep away from) all false </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">deities&#8221; -</span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur'an: 16:36]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Some of them we have been informed of and others we have not. These Prophets and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Messengers include, but not limited to: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Lot, David, Solomon, Elias, Elisha, Hood, Thul-Kifi, Enoch, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Jonah, Job Shu’aib, Saalih, Ezra, Zachariyyah, John, Jesus , Muhammad and others </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">peace and blessings be upon them all.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Some of them were sent with Books while others were not.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Some of the books that we were informed of are the Scriptures of Abraham, the Torah </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">of Moses, the Zaboor of Dawood, and the Injeel which was revealed to Jesus. All of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">these scriptures contained the same basic message from God to mankind. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Each Prophet brought specific instructions from God addressed to a particular people</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">for certain times in history and particular circumstances although the essential message </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">remained the same.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">A few examples of this would be the fact that Moses&#8217; contemporaries were excellent in </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">magic. So his major miracle was to defeat the best magicians of his days. Jesus&#8217; </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">contemporaries were recognized as skillful physicians. Therefore, his miracles were to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">raise the dead and cure the incurable diseases. The Arabs, the contemporaries of the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad, were known for their eloquence and magnificent poetry. So Muhammad&#8217;s</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(Peace and Blessings be upon him) major miracle was the Qur’an, the equivalent of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">which the whole legion of the Arab poets and orators could not produce despite the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">repeated challenge from the Qur’an itself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">However, the beauty and power of Muhammad’s (Peace and Blessings be upon him) </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">major miracle is that it removes the constraints of place and time. It is the permanent </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">miracle for all generations to see.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) is the final Messenger and that his </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Prophethood is also not limited to time and place, and is for all peoples (after the advent </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">of his Prophethood) in all times until the Day of Judgement.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Now, many who would agree with everything we have stated above may reject this </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">about Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) his Messengership and the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">scripture with which he was sent. (The Qur’an)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">It is our objective here to prove without a shadow of a doubt that the Qur’an <strong>is </strong>in fact </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">from God Himself and by extension that Muhammad <strong>is </strong>in fact a Messenger of God. For </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">we cannot accept the Message and reject the Messenger, or vice versa. Both must be </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">accept or both must be rejected.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">We can basically divide the groups of opinions on the Qur’an into three groups:</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent:-18pt;margin:0 0 0 36pt;"><span style="font-family:Symbol;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"><span>·<span style="font:7pt &quot;">         </span></span></span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Those who say that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) himself wrote the Qur’an</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent:-18pt;margin:0 0 0 36pt;"><span style="font-family:Symbol;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"><span>·<span style="font:7pt &quot;">         </span></span></span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Those who say that the Qur’an was written by someone else and taught to Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him)</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent:-18pt;margin:0 0 0 36pt;"><span style="font-family:Symbol;color:red;font-size:10pt;"><span>·<span style="font:7pt &quot;">         </span></span></span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Those who believe that the Qur’an is the pure word of God having no human author</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">In this article, we will briefly review the above three arguments based on logic, historical </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">evidence, textual analysis and even scientific data.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Based on our arguments above, we can logically conclude that if the Qur’an was written </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">by Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) or some other man (or group of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">men) then it is correct to reject the man and his message. However, if it is proven that </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the Qur’an is indeed from God, then it is necessary for us to believe in it, follow it and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">accept Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) and a Messenger of God.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">We ask the reader to reflect…</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 0 36pt;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 0 36pt;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:17.5pt;">First Claim:</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:15.5pt;">Muhammad </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:8pt;">(Peace and Blessings be upon him) </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:15.5pt;">wrote the Qur’an.</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:15.5pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Those who claim that the Qur’an was written by Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">upon him) have given him a different motive for doing so and can basically be divided </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">into the following groups</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">With Muhammad being perhaps the most well documented man in human history, we </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">can easily examine these claims and compare them to his life.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Firstly, the claim that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) wrote the Qur’an </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">is not new. His own people made this claim. In response, to this claim, God revealed the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">following:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Say: &#8220;It is not for me to change it on my own accord; I only follow that which is </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">revealed unto me. Verily, I fear if I were to disobey my Lord, the torment of the </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).&#8221; Say: &#8220;If Allah had so willed, I should not </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">have recited it to you nor would He have made it known to you. Verily, I have </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">stayed amongst you a life time before this. Have you then no sense?&#8221; </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur’an 10:15-16]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">This verse is telling his critics to reflect on the fact that Muhammad (Peace and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Blessings be upon him) lived amongst them from forty (40) years before reciting the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Qur’an to them while never showing any signs of inclination to poetry and themselves </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">knowing that he was illiterate. If he could no t read or write, then where did these </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">magnificent verses come from?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Also reflect on the fact that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) is </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">commanded in the verses above to “Say” twice. This is a command to make a certain </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">statement to the people. One can find this command <strong>“Say” 332 times </strong>throughout the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Qur’an. In other places in the Qur’an he is ordered to “proclaim”, “Glorify Your Lord”, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">“Prostrate Yourself” etc. So we ask is this how a man talks to himself or writes a book? </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Also one must consider the fact that even before his Prophethood Muhammad (Peace </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">and Blessings be upon him) was known amongst his people as “Al-Amin”, the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">trustworthy and the truthful. No one ever recorded a lie against him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Many Western historians agree with this analysis:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;If a man like Muhammad were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">would succeed in solving its problems that would bring it the much needed peace and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">happiness.&#8221; </span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:9.5pt;">George Bernard Shaw</span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten by </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">those around him.&#8221;</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;It is impossible for anyone who studies the life and character of the great Prophet of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Arabia, who knows how he taught and how he lived, to feel anything but reverence for </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">that mighty Prophet, one of the great messengers of the Supreme. And although in what </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">I put to you I shall say many things which may be familiar to many, yet I myself feel</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">whenever I re-read them, a new way of admiration, a new sense of reverence for that </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">mighty Arabian teacher.&#8221;</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">So, we ask the reader to <strong><em>reflect </em></strong>on the following:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Is it logical to believe that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) who, until the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">age of forty and, as we mentioned earlier, was known to his people as al-Amin (The </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Trustworthy) and who is still admired even by Western scholars for his honesty and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">integrity, all of a sudden began to write a book that is unmatched in literary merit and</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">that has not be matched by legions of the Arab poets and orators of the highest caliber </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">throughout history?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Is it reasonable to say that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him), made a </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">false claim and on that very falsehood trained thousands of individuals of outstanding </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">character, integrity, and honesty who were able to establish the best human society that </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the world has ever known?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;">Material Gain? Power and Glory?</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Some claim that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) wrote the Qur’an for </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">some type of material gain or for power and glory. However, this claim is at odds with </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the historical evidence.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">In fact, when one studies the history of Muhammad’s (Peace and Blessings be upon </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">him) life, we find that he was actually materially more well off BEFORE claiming </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Prophethood than afterwards.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">At twenty-five years old, Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) was married </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">to the wealthy widow named Khadijah and lived a life of relative comfort. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">However, after his call to Prophethood, his standard of living declined dramatically, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">sometimes going two months without cooking anything, surviving only on dates and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">water, because of the extreme hardships that he and his family endured after </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">proclaiming God’s message.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">This would not be a temporary sacrifice, but a way of life for him until he died. At no time </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">in his Prophethood did he ever live in a fancy palace, wear the finest clothes or enjoy </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the luxuries of this world. Even after the early Muslims became successful and started </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">to make financial gains, Muhammad’s (Peace and Blessings be upon him) wives</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">complained about their living conditions and wondered why they had to continue to live </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">so poorly when there was (seemingly) no need.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">A revelation then came from God stating:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter, </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Then come! I will make a provision for you and set you free (i.e., divorce) in a </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">handsome manner But if you desire Allah and His Messenger, and the home of </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the Hereafter, then verily, Allah has prepared for the good doers amongst you an </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">enormous reward. (i.e., Heaven)</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur’an 33:28-29]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The most significant refutation to this claim that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">upon him) was seeking wealth and power is the following story when the Chiefs of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Makkah came to him trying to get him to stop preaching his message:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">“O’ Muhammad, You are, as you know a noble from your tribe and your lineage assures </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">you a place of honor. And now you have brought to your people a matter of grave </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">concern, whereby you have split their community, declared their way of life to be foolish, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">spoken shamefully of their gods and religion and called their forefathers disbelievers.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Listen to what I propose and see if any of it is acceptable to you. If it is wealth that you </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">seek, we will gather our wealth and make you the richest amongst us. If you seek </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">honor, we will make you our overlord and we will make no decision without your </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">consent. If you seek Kingship, then we will make you our King. And if you can not get rid </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">of this demon that appears to you, we will find you a physician and spend all our money </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">until you are cured.”</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">When he finished, Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) had received </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">revelation which stated:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Haa Meem. A revelation from Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. A </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Book whereof the Verses are explained in detail; A Qur&#8217;an in Arabic for people </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">who know. Giving glad tidings and warning, but most of them turn away, so they </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">don’t listen. And they say: &#8220;Our hearts are under coverings (screened) from that </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">to which you invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you is a </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">screen, so work you (on your way); verily, we are working (on our way). Say: &#8220;I</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">am only a human being like you.

And woe to the polytheists. Those who give not the <em>Zakât </em>and they are </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">disbelievers in the Hereafter. Truly, those who believe and do righteous good </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">deeds, for them will be an endless reward that will never end </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur’an 41:1-8]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">So had his aim been wealth and power, then he could have easily achieved his goal </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">without going through the hardship and poverty he went throug h up until his death. </span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;">To Unite The Arabs?</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The claim that Muhammad’s (Peace and Blessings be upon him) goal was to unite the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Arabs is also difficult to defend when one looks into the life of Muhammad (Peace and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Blessings be upon him) and his own statements against nationalism, tribalism etc. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Firstly, again, had this been his goal, he could have archived it when the Chiefs of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Makkah offered him wealth and riches in exchange for him agreeing to stop preaching.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Secondly, the concept of nationalism does not exist in Islam. Islam made the bond of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">faith and truth and falsehood the most important basis for binding people together and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">not nationalism, tribe affiliation, race, or ethnicity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) himself spoke out on numerous </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">occasions against this type of ideology stating:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;Let people stop boasting about their forefathers who have died, who are merely fuel for </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the Hell Fire; or they will certainly be more insignificant with Allah than the beetle which </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">rolls dung with its nose. Allah has removed from you the partisanship of the days of  </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">jaahiliyyah (refers to the Pre-Islamic days) and the boasting about one&#8217;s forefathers.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Indeed a person is either a pious Believer or a wretched sinner. All of mankind are the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">children of Adam, and Adam was created from clay.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) also said: &#8220;Indeed there is no </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">excellence for an Arab over a Non-Arab, nor a Non-Arab over an Arab, nor a white </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">person over a black one, nor a black person over a white one, except through piety.” </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Related by Ahmad]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The Qur’an is filled with the same message. One example of this is in the following </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">verse:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;O’ mankind, we have created you from male and female and have made you into </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Indeed the most noblest of </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">you with Allah is the one who has the most piety.&#8221; </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Surah al-Hujuraat 49:13]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The examples from both the Qur’an and the statements of Muhammad (Peace and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Blessings be upon him) are too numerous to mention them all but this should suffice to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">make the point.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Regardless of one’s color, nationality, or tribe, anyone who believes in the Islamic </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">message is part of the brotherhood.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">With the above being the case, the logical question beckons that had this been written </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">by Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) as these people allege for the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">purpose of uniting the Arabs, then why would he have put the <strong>exact opposite </strong>message </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">in this book? Indeed, from the story we quoted above, we can see that this Islamic</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">message actually divided the Arabs into two distinct groups: Muslims and non-Muslim. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) also had companions that were from </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">different tribes and were other than Arab.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;">He had Epilepsy?</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Other people who reject the Prophethood of Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">him) agree because of the historical evidence of Muhammad’s (Peace and Blessings be </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">upon him) impeccable character and truthfulness that he would not have deliberately </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">fabricated the Qur’an and his Prophethood, so they allege for some reason that he</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">either had epilepsy or was delusional and actually believed that he was a Prophet. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Firstly, again keeping in mind that Muhammad is perhaps history’s most well </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">documented man, there is absolutely no evidence from his life to support this claim, and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">all evidence suggests that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) lived a </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">normal and sane life all the way up to his death at the age of sixty (60). However in spite </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">of that, we will nonetheless prove that this claim is false and malicious. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Secondly, even some Orientalists (non-Muslims who have achieved considerable status </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">as authorities on Islam) themselves have rejected these claims of epilepsy as false and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">ridiculous. Daniel commenting on the claim of epilepsy said:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">“…epilepsy as applied to the Prophet was the explanation of those who sought to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">amuse rather than to instruct”</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">John Davenport said,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;This remark that Muhammad has suffered the atta cks of epilepsy is one of the false, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">awkward sayings of the Greeks by which they meant to stain the prestige of the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">propagator of a new religion, and turn the world of Christianity against his moral </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">behavior and qualities.&#8221; </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:9.5pt;">Udhri Taqsir, p.20</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">There are various types of epilepsy, the main ones being <em>grand mal, petit mal </em>and </span><em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">psychomotor</span></em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Grand Mal </span></em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">includes generalized convulsions in which there is sudden unconsciousness </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">with falling and shaking of the limbs. Sometimes the person screams just before the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">seizure and it is followed by stiffening and halted respiration. Next come jerky moves </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">and one can bite one’s tongue and the person experiences a headache. Afterwards,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">they have no recollection of what happened.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">When Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) received revelation, it was </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">described like the ringing of a bell, while other times the Angel Gabriel came to him in </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the form of a man and delivered the message directly. When one compares grand mal </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">to the description of Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) receiving </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">revelation, it is obvious that he did not suffer from grand mal.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Petit Mal </span></em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">involves momentary lapses of awareness and more than seventy percent </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(70%) of patients have their first attack before the age of twenty. It involves no </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">involuntary movements and can happen several times in a day without interruption of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">consciousness. This too, is in opposition to the description of Muhammad’s (Peace and</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Blessings be upon him) receiving revelation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Firstly, Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) was forty (40) years old when </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">he began to receive revelation. And each time he received revelation, it was for several </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">minutes – not moments.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Psychomotor </span></em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">seizures involve convulsions. They last only a few seconds are </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">accompanied with screams and mumbles which do not make words and sentences, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">much less entire chapters of a book which are not only completely understandable, but </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">of the highest eloquence.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Epilepsy takes control of one’s thoughts during seizures, yet Muhammad (Peace and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Blessings be upon him) was in complete control during the revelation and was able to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">recall the event in detail, unlike one who would have an epileptic seizure.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Beyond the above facts, one must ask how could Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">upon him) unconsciously know about previous nations? How could he unconsciously </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">answer questions people asked him and be so correct? No one ever stood up to claim </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">that they too are familiar with these stories.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">How could he know about future events which would later come to pass? How could he </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">have known that the Persians and Romans would go to war and who would win the war </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">years in advance?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Therefore when the facts are examined, the epileptic seizures theories can not only be </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">easily ruled out as absurd but we can only conclude that this claim is made out of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">outright maliciousness because the evidence is overwhelmingly against them. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Norman Daniel commenting on the slanders made against Muhammad (Peace and</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Blessings be upon him) said:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;All writers (referring to Western Writers) tended &#8211; more or less &#8211; to cling to fantastic </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">tales about Islam and its Prophet&#8230; The use of false evidence to attack Islam was all but </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">universal.&#8221;</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Daniel also goes on to explain: &#8220;At the worst there was the assertion of the fantastic, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">and its repetition without discrimination; at the best there was the selection of only those </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">facts that served the purpose of controversy.&#8221;</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Nonetheless, material gain; desire for power; desire to unify the Arabs and ever having </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">had epilepsy are all easily ruled out when any unbiased reader one looks into the life of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:15.5pt;">Second Claim: Someone other than Muhammad </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:8pt;">(Peace and Blessings be upon him) </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:15.5pt;">wrote the Qur’an</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Some people claim that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) did not write </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the Qur’an, but actually either copied it from other sources or learned it from someone </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">else. Let us examine these claims separately</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;">Copied from Other Sources?</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Amongst those who claim that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) did not </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">write the Qur’an but got it from other sources are those who claim that he simply copied </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">either the Apocrypha (Some of the scriptures not included in the canon from the Council </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">of Nicea in 325 CE that became known as the Bible, and later the “Catholic Version” of</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the Bible) and/or the Bible itself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The first problem with this argument is that Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">him) as we mentioned earlier was illiterate and could not copy what he could not read. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Please keep in mind what we stated earlier about Muhammad’s (Peace and Blessings </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">be upon him) well known impeccable character and the fact that it was known that he </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">was illiterate and that there is also no record of the pagan Arabs in Mecca accusing </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) of not being illiterate.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Had he not been illiterate, as the Qur’an itself stated, would this have not been easy to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">prove during Muhammad’s lifetime by his enemies who were eager to discredit him? </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">This fact alone shows that it was common knowledge during his lifetime that he was </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">indeed illiterate and no one questioned this.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Secondly, even if one were to assume, for argument’s sake, that he could read, then the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">first Arabic translation of what is known as the “Old Testament” was not produced until </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">some two hundred (200) years after Muhammad’s (Peace and Blessings be upon him) </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">death and the first Arabic translation of the “New Testament” did not appear until one</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">thousand years after his death.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Sidney Griffith, after extensive study, concludes that:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">All one can say about the possibility of a pre-Islamic, Christian version of the Gospel in </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Arabic is that no sure sign of its actual existence has yet emerged.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Ernst Würthwein states in his book <em>The Text Of The Old Testament </em>that:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">With the victory of Islam the use of Arabic spread widely, and for Jews and Christians in </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the conquered lands it became the language of daily life. This gave rise to the need of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Arabic versions of the Bible, which need was met by a number of versions mainly </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">independent and concerned primarily for interpretation</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:9.5pt;">The Text Of The Old Testament, </span></em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:9.5pt;">1988, William B Eerdmans Publishing Company, Grand Rapids,</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">So it is clear that no Arabic translations of the Bible or the Apocrypha existed during the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">lifetime of Muhammad (Peace and Blessing be upon him)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Thirdly, the historical evidence suggests that there was no Christian or Jewish influence </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">in the Hijaz (Inner part of the Arabian Peninsula) and particularly in Makkah where </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) was born and raised.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Before the birth of Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) the Hijaz was for the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">most part ignored by the major empires of that time (The Persian and Roman) and left </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">isolated with the exception of the time of when the Ethiopian King Abraha briefly tried </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">and failed to conquer Makkah during the year Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">upon him) was born.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The <em>New Catholic Encyclopedia </em>states concerning the time of the Muhammad (Peace </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">and Blessings be upon him) that:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The Hijaz [Arabian Peninsula] had not been touched by Christian preaching. Hence </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">organization of the Christian church was neither to be expected nor found-</span><em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:9.5pt;">New Catholic Encyclopedia</span></em><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:9.5pt;">, <em>Op.Cit</em>, Vol. 1, pp. 721-722</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">There is a wealth of historical evidence to show similar evidence that there was no </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Christian influence in the Hijaz where Muhammad (Peace and Blessing be upon him) </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">lived, so we must ask ourselves who then would have taught him the Bible and/or the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">apocrypha (which were not even in Arabic) for him to later take from these sources, that</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">he would have had to memorize, to later write the Qur’an?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The Hijaz was so isolated that four men from amongst the Makkans who were </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">searching for the true religion of Abraham had to leave Makkah in search of it. Waraqa </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Ibn Nawfal, was amongst them and returned as a Christian. We will discuss him more in </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">detail below.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Fourthly, the Qur’an itself answers these claims that someone was teaching </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) and at the same time points to the fact </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">that the Arabic used in the Qur’an is pure.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">And indeed We know that they </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(The Disbelievers) <strong>say: &#8220;It is only a human being </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">who teaches him </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(Muhammad Peace and Blessings be upon him).&#8221; <strong>The tongue of the </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">man they refer to is foreign, while this </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(the Qur&#8217;an) <strong>is a clear Arabic tongue.-</strong></span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur'an 16:103]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The Qur’an also says referring to Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Neither did you </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(Muhammad, Peace and Blessing be upon him) <strong>read any book </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">before it </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(the Qur&#8217;an)<strong>, nor did you write any book with your hand. In that case, </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">indeed, the followers of falsehood might have doubted-</span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur'an 29:48]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">This argument was answered over one thousand four hundred years ago, by the Qur’an </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">itself, yet these critics are still unable to provide any new evidence for their erroneous </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">claims</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;">Learned the Qur’an from another human?</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Others, from amongst those who argue that Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">him) got the Qur’an from some other source allege that he was taught by another </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">person. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Some of them specifically allege that he was taught by Waraqa Ibn Nawfal who, as we </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">mentioned earlier, was one of the four men who left the pagan faith of Makkah in search </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">for the true religion of Abraham and returned as a Christian.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Here we must state that the true religion of all of the Prophets including that of Abraham </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">and Jesus was Islam.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">By “Islam”, we mean submission to God’s will. It is the same way, as we mentioned in </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the introduction that all of the Prophets called to: Pure Monotheism.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">By “Christian” (in the case of those like Waraqa Ibn Nawfal and Salman the Persian) we </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">mean that he was a person who was following to the best of his ability the true Islamic </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">teachings of Jesus which was in line with the teachings of all the other Prophets <strong>and </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">expecting the last Prophet. (See my mail on Prophet Muhammad in Bible)</span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> This is what is meant by the religion of Abraham that they were in search of.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">This is the religion that Waraqa Ibn Nawfal was looking for and apparently found </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">because when Muhammad was seeking an explanation of what he had seen after his </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">first revelation Waraqa told him </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;This is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel Gabriel) whom Allah had sent to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">you out.&#8221; Allah&#8217;s Messenger (Peace and Blessings be upon him) asked, &#8220;Will they drive</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">me out?&#8221; Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said, &#8220;Anyone who came with something </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should remain alive </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly.&#8221; But after a </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">few days Waraqa died. [Sahih al-Bukhari]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">While it is clear in the passage above that Waraqa died just a few days after </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) first received revelation from the Angel </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Gabriel, it was also clear that Waraqa Ibn Nawfal believed in his Prophethood. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">So the claim that Waraqa taught the Qur’an to Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">upon him) simply holds no water.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Others try to allege that Salman the Persian taught the Qur’an to Muhammad (Peace </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">and Blessings be upon him).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Salman, who was from Persia, was a Zoroastrian who converted to Christianity and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">ventured to Syria to learn more about his religion. There, he learned from one of the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Christian Bishops about the coming of the last Prophet and the signs accompanying his </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">advent. He then traveled to Hijaz where he was seized, sold into slavery, and taken to</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Madinah, where he eventually met Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him). </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">When he found in Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) the fulfillment of all </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the signs of which he had been informed, he became a Muslim.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">In Ibn Ishaq&#8217;s <em>Sirat Rasul Allah</em>, we find the following account of Salman&#8217;s journey in </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">search of the true religion and the coming Prophet:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;`Asim ibn `Umar ibn Qatada said that he was told that Salman the Persian told the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon him) that his master in &#8216;Ammuriya told him to go </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">to a certain place in Syria where there was a man who lived between two thickets. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Every year as he used to go from one to the other, the sick used to stand in his way and</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">everyone he prayed for was healed. He said, &#8216;Ask him about this religion which you </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">seek, for he can tell you of it.&#8217; So I went on until I came to the place I had been told of, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">and I found that people had gathered there with their sick until he came out to them that </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">night passing from one thicket to the other. The people came to him with their sick and</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">everyone he prayed for was healed. They prevented me from getting to him so that I </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">could not approach him until he entered the thicket he was making for, but I took hold of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">his shoulder. He asked me who I was as he turned to me and I said, &#8216;God have mercy </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">on you, tell me about the <em>Hanifiyyah</em>, (the religion of Abraham).&#8217; He replied, &#8216;You are</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">asking about something men do not inquire of today; the time has come near when a </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">prophet will be sent with this religion from the people of the <em>haram (i.e. the hijaz) </em>. Go to  </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">him, for he will bring you to it.&#8217; Then he went into the thicket.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">So, as we can see, had Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) been a </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">impostor as the people who make this claim against him imply, then Salman would not </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">have accepted his Prophethood, much less participated in the writing of the Qur’an with </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Secondly, Salman did not meet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) until </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">after the migration to Madinah and hence AFTER more than two -thirds of the Qur’an </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(which includes the stories of the Prophets mentioned in the Bible) had already been </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">revealed In Makkah.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Thirdly, Salman was a Persian and his original tongue was not Arabic. The Qur’an’s </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">literary style is so brilliant and awe-inspiring that even Linguists who were born speaking </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the Arabic language have not been successful at replicating it (despite repeated </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">challenges from the Qur’an itself to be discussed later) much less a Persian who’s </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">mother tongue was not Arabic.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Even if someone wanted to claim that it was someone other than the people mentioned </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">above, then we repeat the challenge of the Qur’an</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">…Say: &#8220;Bring your proof if you are truthful.&#8221;</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur’an 2:111]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">As for anyone other than that, then we ask would there not be some evidence that </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">someone was teaching Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him)? Would not </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">someone have stepped forward to say that he was Muhammad’s (Peace and Blessings </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">be upon him) “teacher”? Yet, we find no such evidence of this.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:15.5pt;">Third Claim: </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:15.5pt;">The Qur’an is the pure word of God having no human author</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">After having examined the theories that either Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">upon him) wrote the Qur’an and that he got it from other sources and discussing the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">flaws in those arguments, the logical question beckons that if Muhammad (Peace and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Blessings be upon him) did not write the Qur’an nor get it from another human or collect</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">We must now examine the theory that says that the Qur’an is the word of God sent to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) and by extension that he is the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Messenger of God.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">First of all, the Qur’an in several places challenges mankind by saying:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Say: &#8220;If the mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Qur&#8217;an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another.&#8221; </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur'an 17:88]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur&#8217;an) to Our slave (Muhammad, Peace be </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">upon him ), then produce a surah (chapter) of the like thereof and call your </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allah, if you are truthful</span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">. [Qur'an 2:23] </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">And this Qur’an is not such as could ever be produced by other than Allah (Lord </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">of the heavens and the earth), but it is a confirmation of (the revelation) which </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">was before it [i.e. the Taurat (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel), etc.], and a full </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">explanation of the Book (i.e. laws and orders, etc, decreed for mankind) &#8211; wherein </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">there is no doubt from the the Lord of the Worlds.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(Muhammad, Peace be upon him) <strong>has forged it?&#8221; Say: &#8220;Bring then a surah </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(chapter) like it, and call upon whomsoever you can, besides Allah, if you are </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">truthful!&#8221; </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur’an 10:37-38]</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Or they say, &#8220;He (Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) forged it </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(the Qur’an)<strong>.&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Say: &#8220;Bring you then ten forged surah (chapters) like unto it, and call </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">whomsoever you can, other than Allah (to your help), if you speak the truth!&#8221; </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur’an 11:13]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Or do they say: &#8220;He </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(Muhammad peace be upon him) <strong>has forged it </strong>(this Qur’an)<strong>?&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Nay! They believe not! Let them then produce a recital like unto it if they are </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">truthful.</span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">However, despite these repeated challenges, the Arabs who were at the height of their </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">poetic eloquence during the time of revelation of the Qur&#8217;an still could not even produce </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the shortest surah like it. Alqama bin </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:5pt;">c</span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Abd al-Manaf confirmed this when he addressed  </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the Quraysh Tribe by saying:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Oh Quraish, a new calamity has befallen you. Mohammed was a young man the most </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">liked among you, most truthful in speech, and most trustworthy, until, when you saw </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">gray hairs on his temple, and he brought you his message, you said that he was a </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">sorcerer, but he is not, for we have seen such people and their spitting and their knots; </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(i.e., signs of people who engage in black magic) you said, a mystic, but we have seen  </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">such people and their behavior, and we have heard their rhymes; you said a </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">soothsayer, but he is not a soothsayer, for we have heard their rhymes; and you said a</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">poet, but he is not a poet, for we have heard all kinds of poetry; you said he was </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">possessed, but he is not for we have seen the possessed, and he shows no signs of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">their gasping and whispering and delirium. (signs of possession) Oh men of Quraish, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">look to your affairs, for by Allah a serious thing has befallen you. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">This is a challenge that still stands today, as <strong>no one </strong>has met this challenge in the over </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">one thousand four hundred (1,400) years since it was first made. This is a point upon </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">which we ask the reader to ponder.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;">Unmatched Eloquence</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">One of the most well-known stories of how the Qur’an’s miraculous eloquence effected </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">individuals is the story of al-Waleed ibn al-Mugheerah, who was the most eloquent and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">highly esteemed poet of Makkah at the time of Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">upon him).</span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Al-Waleed ibn al-Mugheerah passed by Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">him) and heard him reciting the Qur’an and this had a visible effect upon him. He was </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">shaken and startled by what he had heard. The news of this incident spread throughout </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Makkah.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Abu Jahl (the arch enemy of Islam) afraid that the people of Makkah might be affected </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">by the news and convert to Islam, rushed to al-Waleed and told him “Oh my uncle! Say </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">something (against Muhammad) so that the people will know that you are against him </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">and hate (his message)”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Al-Waleed replied, “And what can I say? For I swear by Allah, there is none amongst </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">you who knows poetry as well as I do, nor can any compete with me in composition or </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">rhetoric-not even in the poetry of the jinns! And yet, I swear by Allah, Muhammad’s </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">speech (meaning the Qur’an) does not bear any similarity to anything I know and I</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">swear by Allah, the speech that he says is very sweet, and is adorned with beauty and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">charm. Its first part is fruitful and its last part is abundant (meaning that it is full of deep </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">meaning) and it conquers (all other speech) and remains unconquered! It shatters and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">destroys all that has come before it (because of its eloquence)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Abu Jahl responded “Your people will not be satisfied until you speak against him!” Al-</span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Waleed therefore requested Abu Jahl “Leave me for a few days, so that I may think of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">an appropriate response to give the Qur’aish”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">After a few days, Abu Jahl came back to him and asked him what he had prepared. Al </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Waleed, during this time could not think of any explanation to give except “This (the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Qur’an) is a type of magic that has an effect on its listeners.”</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">In response to this God Revealed in the Qur’an:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Nay!

And once more let him </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">be cursed; how he plotted! Then he thought! Then he frowned and was irritated; </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">then he turned back and was proud! Then he said, ‘This is nothing but magic </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">from old; this is nothing but the word of a magician!’ I will cast him into the Hell-</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Fire </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur’an 74:16-26]</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Orientalist Author Arthur Arberry, who studied and became fluent in the Arabic language </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">while studying in Egypt recognized the beauty of the Qur’an.</span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">He said: “…the rhetoric and rhythm of the Arabic of the Qur’an are so characteristic, so </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">powerful, so highly emotive, that any version whatsoever is bound by the nature of</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Many other non-Muslims have also confirmed the Qur’an’s unmatched eloquence.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Hamilton Gibb, the famous University of Oxford Arabist said:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8230;the Meccans still demanded of him a miracle, and with remarkable boldness and self </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">confidence Mohammad appealed as a supreme confirmation of his mission to the Koran </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">itself. Like all Arabs they were the connoisseurs of language and rhetoric. Well, then if </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the Koran were his own composition other men could rival it. Let them produce ten </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">verses like it. If they could not (and it is obvious that they could not), then let them </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">accept the Koran as an outstanding evident miracle -</span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:9.5pt;">H A R Gibb, <em>Islam &#8211; A Historical Survey</em>, 1980, Oxford University Press, p. 28</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Alfred Guillaume wrote:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The Qur’an is one of the world&#8217;s classics which cannot be translated without grave loss. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">It has a rhythm of peculiar beauty and a cadence that charms the ear. Many Christian </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Arabs speak of its style with warm admiration, and most Arabists acknowledge its </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">excellence. When it is read aloud or recited it has an almost hypnotic effect that makes</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the listener indifferent to its sometimes strange syntax and its sometimes, to us, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">repellent content. It is this quality it possesses of silencing criticism by the sweet music </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">of its language that has given birth to the dogma of its inimitability; indeed it may be </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">affirmed that within the literature of the Arabs, wide and fecund as it is both in poetry</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">and in elevated prose, there is nothing to compare with it -</span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:9.5pt;">Alfred Guillaume<em>, Islam</em>, 1990 (Reprinted), Penguin Books, pp. 73-74</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">It is a miracle in itself that for over one thousand, four hundred years, this challenge to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">match the Qur’an’s is still stands unmet today despite many failed attempts to do so.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Although the Qur’an is a book of guidance for all of mankind and not a science book , </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">one of the great miracles of the Qur’an is its conformity with modern science. It is a sign </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">of its miraculous nature that it mentions things that no human being could have possibly </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">known one thousand four hundred (1,400) years ago!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;The idea that development results from a genetic plan contained in the chromosomes, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">of the zygote was not discovered until the end of the 19th century C.E. The verse from </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the Qur&#8217;an (80:18) clearly implies that the nutfa (i.e. the initial drop of fluid) contains the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">plan or blueprint for the future characteristics and features of the developing human </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">being&#8221;.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Then We made the <em>Nutfa </em>into a clot </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(a piece of thick coagulated blood), <strong>then We </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">made the clot into a little lump of flesh, then We made out of that little lump of </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators. </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur’an 23:14]</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The best way to really appreciate the beauty of the verses above is to see pictures of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the human embryo as it goes through the various stages of development. The reference </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">to <strong>“…chewed lump of flesh” </strong>is remarkably similar to the appearance of the embryo </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">after the first month.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Consider this in light of the fact that if one reads what embryologists said on the subject </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">just one hundred years ago, one would laugh at its inaccuracies.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Some of the other facts given in the Qur’an include the formation of milk (16:66), the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">orbiting of planets (21:33 and 36:40) and the description of the water cycle (15:22 and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">35:9)</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">We mentioned in the introduction that every Prophet is sent with miracles to establish </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">his Prophethood.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) performed many miracles which have </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">been documented by those who witnessed them such as the splitting of the moon, the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">increase of an inadequate amount of food to a large number of people, and many other </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">miracles that were not permanent and could not be seen by every generation in every</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">place.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The Qur’an, however is the permanent miracle and it is not limited by time and place. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Generations far removed from Muhammad’s (Peace and Blessings be upon him) time </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">can witness it for themselves.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Ibn Khaldoon, a renowned Muslim historian put it very beautifully when he said:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">“Know that the greatest of all miracles, and the most sacred and blessed and the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">clearest proof is the Qur’an that was revealed to the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">upon him). This is because all other miracles, in general, were brought forth separate </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">from the actual inspiration (that the Prophet received), as a means of proving the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">truthfulness of the inspiration. As for the Qur’an, it is the inspiration and the miracle in </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">one, and is therefore the clearest and most powerful miracle, since it combines the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">boast and the proof into one.”</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Also, we ask the reader to reflect on the following statement of Ibn Taymiyyah:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">“The greatest (of all the miracles) is the Qur’an that the Prophet (Peace and Blessings </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">be upon him) came with, for it is the religion of God and His speech, and it is proof of </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the Prophethood of Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him). Its very revelation </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">is one of the most supernatural and extraordinary of acts, for it is the call (to the worship</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">of God alone) and the proof (of the Prophethood of Muhammad, peace and blessings </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">be upon him) and the miracle (i.e., all in one)”</span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:9.5pt;">Collection of Islamic Rulings</span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:9.5pt;">, vol. 11 p. 324</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;">The Life Changing Effect Of The Qur’an</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The Qur’an says: </span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">“Verily this Qur’an leads to that which is most right…” </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur’an 17:9]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The Qur’an is a book for all of mankind that is meant to reform the individual and even </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the society. It changes the individual that is devoid of guidance and improves an </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">individual if he is already on the straight path.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Before the Prophethood of Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon him) the Arabs </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">were heavy drinkers of alcohol, engage in tribal battles and even bury their female </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">babies alive. Yet, when one studies the history of the Qur’an, one finds that within a </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">span of twenty years, due to the miraculous effect of the Qur’an, was able to change </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">almost all the Arabs and non-Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula and bind them into a </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">brotherhood of faith and love that was so strong that if any part of the brotherhood </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">would anguish, the whole brotherhood was affected negatively.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">These people became leaders of the world and cornerstones of a great civilization </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">whose influence would remain centuries .</span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">This effect lasted long after Muhammad’s (Peace and Blessings be upon him) death.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">We see this in the following passage:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The sterling character and qualities of the Muslim soldiers were once praised by a </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Roman Officer in these words: “At night you will find them prayerful; during the day you </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">will find them fasting. They keep their promises, order good deeds, suppress evil and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">maintain complete equality among themselves”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Another testified thus: “They are horsemen by day and ascetics by night. They pay for </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">what they eat in territories under their occupation. They are first to salute when they </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">arrive at a place and are valiant fighters who just wipe out the enemy.” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">And a third testified: “During the night it seems that they do not belong to this world and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">have no other business than to pray, and during the day, when one sees them mounted </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">on their horses, one feels that they have been doing nothing else their whole lives. They </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">are great archers and great lancers, yet they are so devoutly religious and remember</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">God so much and so often that one can hardly hear talk about anything else in their </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">company”</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;">Lack of Contradiction</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The Qur’an challenges mankind by saying:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">&#8220;Do they not then consider the Qur’an carefully? Had it been from other than </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Allah, they would surely have found therein much contradiction.&#8221; </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[4:82]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The fact that there are no contradictions in the Qur’an, despite being revealed over the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">twenty-three year period, under different circumstances, addressing different problems,  </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">is a clear indication to the sincere and objective reader of its divine origin.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:14pt;">The Logical Conclusion</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">We have established that the Qur’an could not have been written by Muhammad </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(Peace and Blessings be upon him) nor did he learn it from someone else or collect it </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">from other sources. Are you, the reader, still in doubt about this?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">We ask you, if you are still in doubt to then take up the challenge of the Qur’an itself and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">prove it to be false.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Ponder upon that fact that <strong>not one </strong>of the legions of brilliant poets that have lived in the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">past 1,400 years have been able to match the Qur’an beauty and eloquence despite </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">repeated challenges from the Qur’an to do so. And they <strong>never </strong>will.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Why are they not successful? Because the Qur’an is indeed the word of God and who </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">can compete with God? God has told us in the Qur’an that they will never be able to do </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Say: &#8220;If the mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Qur&#8217;ân, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another.&#8221; </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur’an 17:88]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">In other words, the Qur’an itself has predicted that it will remain unparalleled and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">unrivaled for all of eternity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The futility of trying to match the Qur’an’s brilliance and eloquence has been foretold:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">And if you are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(the Qur&#8217;an) <strong>to </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Our slave </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(Muhammad Peace be upon him), <strong>then produce a <em>Surah </em></strong>(chapter) <strong>of the </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">like thereof and call your witnesses </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(supporters and helpers) <strong>besides Allah, if you </strong></span><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">are truthful. But if you do not do it, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">(Hell) <strong>whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers. </strong></span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">[Qur’an 2:23-24]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The above is exactly what has occurred! None have been able to meet this challenge to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">his day and they can not do so.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Throughout this work, we have asked the sincere reader to ponder. We also stated in </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">the beginning that if we conclude that the Qur’an is the word of God, then we must by </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">extension accept the Messengership of Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing be </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">upon him)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The rational criteria is at the sincere reader’s disposal, and one&#8217;s emotional commitment </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">to religion should be preceded by an intellectual commitment to it. Reason, in fact, is our </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">primary means for finding the Truth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">We can put any religion or system of beliefs to test by examining whether it is rational, </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">universal, applicable at all times, in all places, and by people of all colors and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">languages, and whether the religion&#8217;s Scripture is free of alteration, internal and external </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">inconsistencies.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">A scripture is internally inconsistent if it contains discrepancies and contradictions within </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">its text, and externally inconsistent if it contradicts <strong>facts </strong>(not theories) from science and </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">nature as we know them. For it is impossible that God does not know His creation or </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">that which He creates.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Our experience tells us that a few minutes of reasoning can usually leave us persuaded </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">in the truth of God&#8217;s absolute Oneness and Uniqueness, so what remains to be studied </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">is which religion is truly monotheistic in its nature.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">One of the major criteria for distinguishing the Truth from errors, that we would like to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">stress, is the authenticity of the religious scripture. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">We have presented above indisputable proof that the Qur’an is the word of God. </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">The reality is that Muslims are the only ones who even claim to have an authentic </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">scripture from God, in its original form, of which not a single letter has been changed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">Most other religions admit that their scriptures are in fact human writings. And if we say </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">that there is a Truth and God, we are likely to believe that God wants us to do certain </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">things and abstain from others.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">If we are of the view that God would not leave us without a reliable Revelation, then the </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">mere fact that Muslims are the only ones who even claim to have an authentic </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">revelation could attest to the truthfulness of their claim.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">However, as mentioned earlier, the Qur&#8217;an invites us to ponder and reason and to </span><span style="font-family:&quot;color:red;font-size:11.5pt;">accept faith based on knowledge, rather than the blind following of our traditions.</span></p>

<strong>Anthropomorphism is against Bible</strong></p>
<p>Bible-&#8221;Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:&#8221; Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God.&#8221;[The Bible, Exodus 20:3-5]<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:96%;margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="line-height:96%;font-family:&amp;"><strong>Logical Reasons:</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:96%;margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="line-height:96%;font-family:&amp;" lang="EN-US">People believe that Almighty God is so pure and holy that He is unaware of the hardships, shortcomings, weaknesses, difficulties, feelings, passions, emotions and temptations of humanbeings. He does not know how a person feels when he or she is hurt or is in trouble. Therefore, in order to set rules of behavior and conduct for humanbeings, God came down to earth in the form of a human. On the face of it, this seems to be logical. But we need to examine this. </span><span style="line-height:96%;font-family:&amp;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:96%;margin:0 0 10pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:96%;margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="line-height:96%;font-family:&amp;" lang="EN-US">Suppose I manufacture a DVD player, do I have to become a DVD player to know what is good or bad for the DVD player? The manufacturer does not have to himself play the role of a DVD player to understand the stress caused by normal usage or even faculty usage of the DVD player. Hence, for the users, as the manufacturer, I write an instruction manual. In this manual I state, all the do’s and don’ts for usage of the machine. Similarly God, who created this Vast Universe, has complete knowledge of His creation. He only has to reveal the instruction manual for the benefit of humans. God need not come down personally for writing the instruction manual. He chooses a man amongst men to deliver His message and communicates with him at a higher level through His revelations. Such chosen men are called apostles and prophets of God. God conveys His revelations to such persons. </span><span style="line-height:96%;font-family:&amp;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:96%;margin:0 0 10pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:96%;margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="line-height:96%;font-family:&amp;" lang="EN-US">God will not and does not take Human form. Some people may argue that God can do everything, then why can he not take human form? If God were to take human form, then He would no longer remain God because the qualities of God and the qualities of human beings are different.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:96%;margin:0 0 10pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:96%;margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="line-height:96%;font-family:&amp;" lang="EN-US">God is immortal; Humanbeings are mortal. You cannot have a God man, that is an immortal and mortal being at the same time. It is meaningless. God does not have a beginning , Human beings have a beginning. You cannot have a person who  does not have a beginning and yet at the same time having a beginning. God has no end. Humans have an end. We can’t have an entity that has no end and still have an end at the same time. It is meaningless. God does not require to eat. Human beings need to eat. God does not require rest. Human beings require rest. Inspite of all the above arguments if one still argues that why can’t  God become a human being and retain His divine powers? If God retains His divine power in a human form then He is not a human because humans do not have divine powers. This concept called Anthropomorphism is illogical and its against Vedas, Qur’an and Bible. God will not do any ungodly things. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:96%;margin:0;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:96%;margin:0;"><span style="line-height:96%;font-family:&amp;">The claim that God became man is an absurdity. It is not befitting of God to take on human characteristics because it means that the Creator has become His creation. However, the creation is a product of the creative act of the Creator. If the Creator became His creation, it would mean that the Creator created Himself, which is an obvious absurdity. To be created, He would first have to not exist, and, if He did not exist, how could He then create? Furthermore, if He were created, it would mean that He had a beginning, which also contradicts His being eternal. By definition creation is in need of a creator. For created beings to exist they must have a creator to bring them into existence. God cannot need a creator because God is the Creator. Thus, there is an obvious contradiction in terms. The claim that God became His creation implies that He would need a creator, which is a ludicrous concept. It contradicts the fundamental concept of God being uncreated, needing no creator and being the Creator. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Hi,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">I am representing a very few details about the collapse of Atheism. It will take at least millions of pages to write about the collapse of Atheism logically and scientifically. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Introduction:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">You will notice that everything in the room is made: the walls, the upholstery, the ceiling, the chair where you sit, the book you hold in your hand, the glass on the table and countless other details. None of them happen to exist in your room of their own accord. Even the simple loops of the carpet were made by someone: they did not appear spontaneously or by chance. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">If, one day, somebody came forward and said that raw iron and coal came together to form steel by chance, which in turn constructed the Eiffel Tower again by chance, would not he and those who believed him be regarded as insane? The claim of the theory of evolution, the unique method of denying the existence of Almighty God, is no different than this. According to the theory, inorganic molecules formed amino acids by chance, amino acids formed proteins by chance, and finally proteins formed living creatures again by chance, would not he and those who believed him be regarded as insane? The claim of the theory of evolution, the unique method of denying the existence of God, is no different than this. According to the theory, inorganic molecules formed amino acids by chance, amino acids formed proteins by chance, and finally proteins formed living creatures again by chance. However, the probability of a living creature being formed by coincidence is less than the probability of the Eiffel Tower being formed in the same manner, <strong>because even the simplest human cell is more sophisticated than any man-made structure in the world.</strong> Even if you bring all the technologies and scientist in the world they cannot make a single living cell. Then how life formed by chance? This is one of the evidences which show that God is there.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> No living being has come to exist through its own accord or effort. No coincidental happening can ever result in such complicated systems. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Anyone who seeks an answer to the question of how living things, including him, came into existence will encounter two distinct explanations. The first is &#8220;creation,&#8221; the idea that all living things came into existence as a consequence of an intelligent design. The second explanation is the theory of &#8220;evolution,&#8221; which asserts that living things are not the products of an intelligent design, but of coincidental causes and natural processes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">As a matter of fact, scientific findings do not support the theory of evolution. Findings from the last two decades in particular openly contradict the basic assumptions of this theory. Many branches of science, such as palaeontology, biochemistry, population genetics, comparative anatomy and biophysics, indicate that natural processes and coincidental effects cannot explain life, as the theory of evolution proposes. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Theory of Evolution or chance or Nature</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Darwin had maintained that all living species were descended from a common ancestor, and had grown apart from one another in a series of small, progressive changes. He hoped that fossils would provide evidence for that claim. Yet all the fossil research throughout the 20th century presented a totally different picture. Not one &#8220;transitional species&#8221; that might prove Darwin&#8217;s theory was found.</span></p>
<p>For example, the phenomenon known as the &#8220;Cambrian Explosion&#8221; is by itself sufficient to destroy the theory of evolution. Almost all the basic categories in the animal world emerged all of a sudden in that early geological period. Living things from very different classes, such as molluscs, vertebrates, arthropods and echinoderms, with their very different physical characteristics emerged with their exceedingly complicated organs and systems all at once.</p>
<p>This fact that emerges from the fossil record demolishes the theory of evolution and is proof of creation instead.  </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;margin:0;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Man Evolved from Ape is an utter stupidity.</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Stone Age is a Historical lie. Archaeology and Palaeontology shows that people who live today are same even millions of years ago and they are even more intelligent than us.  </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Ape becoming man is an utter stupidity as Human brain is so complicated which cannot be evolved. The problem of walking in two legs exerts more energy for the Apes and why they wanted to walk in two legs when they are more comfortable and efficient with four legs. The way in which apes move is much easier, faster, and more efficient than man&#8217;s bipedal (an animal which walks on two legs) stride. Man can neither move by jumping from tree to tree without descending to the ground, like a chimpanzee, nor run at a speed of 125 km per hour, like a cheetah. On the contrary, since man walks on two feet, he moves much more slowly on the ground. For the same reason, he is one of the most unprotected of all species in nature in terms of movement and defence. According to the logic of evolution, apes should not have evolved to adopt a bipedal stride; humans should instead have evolved to become quadrupedal (an animal which has four feet)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">A living being can either walk upright, or on all fours. A type of stride between the two is impossible because it would involve excessive energy consumption. This is why a half-bipedal being cannot exist. The immense gap between man and ape is not limited solely to bipedalism. Many other issues still remain unexplained, such as brain capacity, the ability to talk, and so on. Elaine Morgan, an evolutionary paleoanthropologist, makes the following confession in relation to this matter: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Four of the most outstanding mysteries about humans are: 1) why do they walk on two legs? 2) Why have they lost their fur? 3) Why have they developed such large brains? 4) Why did they learn to speak? </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">The orthodox answers to these questions are: 1) &#8216;We do not yet know;&#8217; 2) &#8216;We do not yet know;&#8217; 3) &#8216;We do not yet know;&#8217; 4) &#8216;We do not yet know.&#8217; The list of questions could be considerably lengthened without affecting the monotony of the answers.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Note: Apes&#8217; hands and feet are curled in a manner suited to living in trees.</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">There are No fossil records to support the theory. Logically speaking all these years ape has remained ape and all the creatures has remained in their own forms. In other words all these creatures didn&#8217;t evolve but created. </span></strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 12pt;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Our eyes, with which no camera can possibly compare, bird wings that inspired aeronautical technology, the complex and interdependent systems within the living cell, the extraordinary information contained in DNA &#8230; All these are clear &#8220;examples of design&#8230;&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 12pt;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"><br />
They also leave the theory of evolution, that regards life as the product of blind chance, utterly helpless. <strong>Today, atheists have been completely backed into a corner by these scientific truths. </strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Scientists are not eliminating God but they are eliminating the models of God. A little knowledge in science makes a person an Atheist and an in-depth knowledge in science makes a person to believe in God. I just wanted to remind you people that this theory of evolution is just a theory and not a fact. Many scientists disproved the theory of evolution and I just wanted to share a few of their findings. </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Louis Pasteur: (French Chemist and Microbiologist)</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Spontaneous Generation: the theory that nonliving matter could come together to form living organisms, had been widely accepted. It was believed that insects came into existence from leftover bits of food. It was further imagined that mice came into being from wheat. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Five years after the publication of Darwin&#8217;s book Origin of Species, Louis Pasteur announced his results after long studies and experiments, which disproved spontaneous generation, a cornerstone of Darwin&#8217;s theory. In his triumphal lecture at the Sorbonne in 1864, Pasteur said, &#8220;Never will the doctrine of<span>   </span>spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple experiment.&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">The fact that maggots appeared in meat was believed to be evidence for spontaneous generation. However, it was only realized some time later that maggots did not appear in meat spontaneously, but were carried by flies in the form of larvae, invisible to the naked eye.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Gregor Mendel:(Father of Genetics)</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Darwin embraced the Lamarckian theory, that is, &#8220;the inheritance of acquired traits.&#8221; However, Lamarck&#8217;s thesis, was disproved by the laws of genetic inheritance discovered by the Austrian monk and botanist, Gregor Mendel. The concept of &#8220;useful traits&#8221; was therefore left unsupported. Genetic laws showed that acquired traits are not passed on, and that genetic inheritance takes place according to certain unchanging laws. These laws supported the view that species remain unchanged. No matter how many the cows that Darwin saw in England&#8217;s animal fairs bred, the species itself would never change: cows would always remain cows. Gregor Mendel announced the laws of genetic inheritance that he discovered as a result of long experiment and observation in a scientific paper published in 1865. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the truth of these laws had been accepted by the whole scientific community. This was a serious dead-end for Darwin&#8217;s theory, which tried to base the concept of &#8220;useful traits&#8221; on Lamarck. The laws discovered by Mendel put Darwinism in a very difficult position.</span><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"><br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Neo Darwinism</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">The Geological Society of America group named this new theory, which was formulated by adding the concept of mutation to Darwin&#8217;s natural selection thesis, the &#8220;synthetic theory of evolution&#8221; or the &#8220;modern synthesis.&#8221; In a short time, this theory came to be known as &#8220;neo-Darwinism&#8221; and its supporters as &#8220;neo-Darwinists.&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Failure of Neo Darwinism:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">All mutations ended up with disfigured, weak, or diseased individuals and, sometimes, led to the death of the organism. This is a big blow for the Neo Darwinists. Another failure for neo-Darwinists came from the fossil record. However, despite all the palaeontologist’s efforts, the fossil record continued to remain a serious obstacle to the theory. One by one, concepts such as &#8220;vestigial organs,&#8221; &#8220;embryological recapitulation&#8221; and &#8220;homology&#8221; lost all significance in the light of new scientific findings. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Second Law of Thermodynamics</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">The Second Law of Thermodynamics, which is accepted as one of the basic laws of physics, holds that<span>  </span>under normal conditions all systems left on their own tend to become disordered, dispersed, and corrupted in direct relation to the amount of time that passes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Evolutionary theory ignores this fundamental law of physics. The mechanism offered by evolution totally contradicts the second law. According to the theory of evolution, this supposed process—which yields a more planned, more ordered, more complex and more organized structure at each stage—was formed all by itself under natural conditions. (Read the above Para and find the theory of evolution going against Second Law of Thermodynamics) The law of entropy (In physics, entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system.) makes it clear that this so-called natural process utterly contradicts the laws of physics.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Molecular Biology:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">A living cell—which cannot be produced even when all the power of the human intellect, knowledge and Technology is brought together.</span><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> How come it could have formed millions of years ago by chance? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">The molecular biologist Michael Denton discusses the complex structure of the cell:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by molecular biology, we must magnify a cell a thousand million times until it is twenty kilometres in diameter and resembles a giant airship large enough to cover a great city like London or New York. What we would then see would be an object of unparalleled complexity and adaptive design. On the surface of the cell we would see millions of openings, like the port holes of a vast space ship, opening and closing to allow a continual stream of materials to flow in and out. If we were to enter one of these openings we would find ourselves in a world of supreme technology and bewildering complexity&#8230; Is it really credible that random processes could have constructed a reality, the smallest element of which—a functional protein or gene—is complex beyond our own creative capacities, a reality which is the very antithesis of chance, which excels in every sense anything produced by the intelligence of man?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">A cell is so complex that even the high level of technology attained today cannot produce one. No effort to create an artificial cell has ever met with success. Indeed, all attempts to do so have been abandoned. The theory of evolution claims that this system—which mankind, with all the intelligence, knowledge and technology at its disposal, cannot succeed in reproducing—came into existence &#8220;by chance&#8221; under the conditions of the primordial earth. Actually, the probability of forming a cell by chance is about the same as that of producing a perfect copy of a book following an explosion in a printing house.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">An average-sized protein molecule composed of 288 amino acids, and contains twelve different types of amino acids can be arranged in 10300 different ways. (This is an astronomically huge number, consisting of 1 followed by 300 zeros.) Of all of these possible sequences, only one forms the desired protein molecule. The rest of them are amino acid chains that are either totally useless, or else potentially harmful to living things. In other words, the probability of the formation of only one protein. molecule is &#8220;1 in 10300.&#8221; The probability of this &#8220;1&#8243; actually occurring is practically nil. (In practice, probabilities smaller than 1 over 1050 are thought of as &#8220;zero probability&#8221;). Furthermore, a protein molecule of 288 amino acids is a rather modest one compared with some giant protein molecules consisting of thousands of amino acids. When we apply similar probability calculations to these giant protein molecules, we see that even the word &#8220;impossible&#8221; is insufficient to describe the true situation.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">I can at least quote 1000s of evolutionists, scientists and Noble laureates confessing regarding the theory of evolution.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Big Bang Theory:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Big Bang theory is another big blow for atheist as it says<span>  </span>the Universe is created from Nothing because there was no matter or energy or time was present  and all these came only after the Universe formed and the Universe is constantly expanding  and everyday the size of the Universe is increasing and if we go back we can find the Universe was  in the size of a Volley ball then a cricket ball and finally its size is zero. This is the discovery of the Big Bang theory which is an established scientific fact. Who can create something out of nothing? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Moreover, laws were formed called the laws of physics, which are uniform throughout the whole universe and do not change. All these indicate that a perfect order is maintained in this Universe. Did this perfection happened by chance? It is stupid to even think like that. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">The laws of physics that emerged together with the Big Bang did not change at all over a period of 15 billion years. Furthermore, these laws stand on calculations so scrupulous that even a millimetres variation from their current values can result in the destruction of the whole structure and configuration of the universe.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Miracle of Atom:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Everything you see around you: your body, the chair you sit on, the book you hold in your hand, the sky seen through the window, the soil, the concrete, the fruits, the plants, all living things and everything that you can imagine have come to life with the gathering of atoms. What then is the atom, the building block of everything, made of and what kind of a structure does it have? When we examine the structure of atoms, we see that all of them have an outstanding design and order. Every atom has a nucleus in which there are certain numbers of protons and neutrons. In addition to these, there are electrons which move around the nucleus in a constant orbit with a speed of 1,000 kms per second. Electrons and protons of an atom are equal in number, because positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons always balance each other. If one of these numbers were different, there would be no atom, since its electromagnetic balance would be disturbed. An atoms nucleus, the protons and the neutrons in it, and the electrons around it are always in motion. These revolve both around themselves and each other unerringly at certain speeds. Those speeds are always proportionate to each other and provide the subsistence of the atom. No disorder, disparity, or change ever occurs. It is very remarkable that such highly ordered and determined entities could come into being after a great explosion that took place in non-being. If the Big Bang were an uncontrolled, coincidental explosion, then it ought to have been followed by random events and everything that formed subsequently to have been dispersed in a great chaos. Just think is the order and design would have happened by chance? </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Complexity of an eye:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">The eye is one of the most manifest pieces of evidence that living creatures are created. All sight organs, including animal eyes and the human eye, are extremely striking examples of a perfect design. This exceptional organ is so overwhelmingly complex that it surpasses even the most sophisticated devices in the world. In order for an eye to see, all of its parts have to co-exist and work in harmony. For instance, if an eye happened to have lost its eyelid, but still had all the other parts such as the cornea, conjunctiva, iris, pupil, eye lenses, retina, choroid, eye muscles, and tear glands, it would still be greatly damaged and soon lose its seeing function. In the same manner, even if all its organelles were present, if the tear production were stopped, the eye would soon dry out and become blind.. The eye has a multi-sectioned complex system and, as discussed above, all of these individual sections had to come into existence at the same time. It is impossible for a half-developed eye to function at half capacity. we again face that very important question: who created all of the components of the eye all at once? </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Antibiotic: </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">How many of them are aware that they are surrounded on all sides by microbes that, if unimpeded, would cause them to catch serious illnesses or even die? Indeed, there are many dangerous microbes in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the surfaces we touch. While one is unaware of all that is going on, the cells in one’s body make strenuous efforts to save one from an illness that may even bring about one’s death.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Digestive System:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Breathing, eating, walking, etc, are very natural human functions. But most people do not think how these basic actions take place. For example, when you eat a fruit, you do not think how it will be made useful to your body. The only thing on your mind is eating a healthy meal; at the same time, your body is involved in extremely detailed processes unimaginable to you in order to make this meal a health-giving thing.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">The digestive system where these detailed processes take place starts to function as soon as a piece of food is taken into the mouth. Being involved in the system right at the outset, the saliva wets the food and helps it to be ground by the teeth and slide down the oesophagus. The oesophagus helps the food be transported to the stomach where a perfect balance is at work. Here, the food is digested by the hydrochloric acid present in the stomach. This acid is so strong that it has the capacity to dissolve not only the food but also the stomach walls. Of course, such a flaw is not permitted in this perfect system. A secretion called mucus which is secreted during digestion covers all the walls of the stomach and provides a perfect protection against the destructive effect of the hydrochloric acid. Thus the stomach is prevented from destroying itself. The rest of the digestive system is likewise planned. the system in the stomach could in no way have been formed step by step. The absence of even one factor would bring about the death of the organism.  How come one can think that everything is created by chance if there are many signs to understand the existence of God?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Termite:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">When you compare the size of a termite and its nest, you will see that the termite has successfully completed an architectural project about 300 times bigger than itself. But what is even more astonishing is that the termites are blind. A person who has never seen the huge nests built by blind termites would probably think that they are made up of sand piles heaped upon each other. However, a termite nest proves to be of a marvellous design incomprehensible to the human mind: inside there are intersecting tunnels, corridors, ventilation systems, special fungus production yards and safety exits. If you assemble thousands of blind people and give them all kinds of technical tools, you can never make them set up a nest similar to the one made by the termite colony. So, just think: &#8211; How could a termite measuring 1-2 cm. in length have learnt the architectural and engineering information needed to make such a subtle design? &#8211; How could thousands of blind termites manage to work in harmony to build this construction which is an artistic wonder? </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:12pt;">Conclusion: </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">Can the wind form an airplane by coincidence? The famous physicist Sir Fred Hoyle makes a very striking observation about the origin of life. In his book The Intelligent Universe he writes:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><em><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way (by coincidence) is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junk-yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein.</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">This comparison of Hoyle&#8217;s is quite inspiring. The examples that we have discussed above also reveal that both the existence of life and the perfection of its present systems force us to look for the great power making these come into being. Just as a hurricane cannot produce an airplane as a result of coincidences, neither is it possible for the universe to have come into being as a result of unanticipated happenings and moreover to  harbour extremely complex structures therein. In truth, the universe is furnished with myriad systems of an infinitely greater complexity than those of an airplane. One who assesses these signs which are so evident as to be undeniable by both reason and conscience can come to only one conclusion: there is no room for coincidence in the universe; the universe was CREATED with all the minutiae contained in it </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> How human beings came in to existence? Why everything in this world is in a perfect order? How the blue whales came in to existence? How elephants and many complex organisms came in to existence? For what? Why? We can talk about many miracles in the Universe which science has no reasons or explanations. Half knowledge in science will make a person atheist and full knowledge in science make him to understand the existence of God.  Please think why are we born and why we have to die? Even the rich who has money also has problems and even the poor who are in need of money also has problems. What is the purpose of our Life? why there are sufferings and pain all over the world. Why I have depression and worries in my life? What <span> </span>is the supreme power doing? Not even a single leaf is created without purpose. Nothing came by chance in this world. Everything has purpose in this life. Please wait patiently to find out more truth logically and scientifically. Everything is Created and not evolved by chance or Nature. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:&quot;font-size:10pt;">We basically don’t know all these truth because we don’t find time to think on all these things. Think! Is it a chance? We seek proof for everything but we don’t try to seek proof for the existence of God. We just say ‘I believe in Supreme Power’. Is the God created us just to say this? Do we have time to reflect on the logical aspects of God and religion? God created us with a brain to think and ask why? For what? We human beings don’t accept anything blindly. We can’t program any software or any instruments blindly. We seek for logics. Why are we not searching for the truth with logics? If God wills let us expose the to the truth. Please wait and watch! </span></p>
