English is new and a soft language. Can not match with Semitic languages. There is no English translation even for Salah/Solat.We just use the word prayer which isn’t the correct word.

So woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they have earned.”Quran 2:79 Then in the footsteps of the prophets, We “sent Jesus, son of Mary, confirming the Torah revealed before him. And We gave him the Gospel containing guidance and light and confirming what was revealed in the Torah—a guide and a lesson to the God-fearing.”Quran 5:46 “So let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed in it.

We do not need to go to the Quran for any verification but the Quran needs to go to the Bible in order to stand! How can the Bible have the authority over Quran ? -Quran came only after Sufuh /Scroll ( given to Abraham)Torah/Tawrat ( given to Moses)Sabur / psalm ( given to David) Injeel/ Gospel ( given to Jesus) -Quran and Muslim don’t follow/accept Old and New Testament which are called bible. Does the bible have authority over Hindu and Buddhist books which came before your bibles? Quran Chapter 98-(Al Bayyinah/Clear proof) “The disbelievers from the People of the Book and the polytheists were not going to desist ˹from disbelief˺ until the clear proof came to them: a messenger from Allah, reciting scrolls of ˹utmost˺ purity, containing upright commandments. It was not until this clear proof came to the People of the Book that they became divided ˹about his prophethood˺— even though they were only commanded to worship Allah ˹alone˺ with sincere devotion to Him in all uprightness, establish prayer, and pay alms-tax. That is the upright Way. Indeed, those who disbelieve from the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the Fire of Hell, to stay there forever. They are the worst of ˹all˺ beings. Indeed, those who believe and do good—they are the best of ˹all˺ beings. Their reward with their Lord will be Gardens of Eternity, under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. This is ˹only˺ for those in awe of their Lord.” - RE: Scripture readings for Christmas - cheekopekman - 22-02-2025 (21-02-2025, 07:56 AM)Hope Wrote: Saul/Paul was a Jew who converted to Christianity.

Both were Jews.What Made Holy Spirit to inspired them?😳 From google 👌 What was the relationship between Luke and Paul? Paul's relationship with Luke was unique. He refers to Timothy and Titus as sons (1 Timothy 1:18; Titus 1:4). But Luke is a friend, beloved and loyal. He is the other half of “we.” He alone remains. Which disciple never met Jesus? Paul Self-appointed apostle of Jesus, whom he never met, Paul was born Saul in Tarsus and was probably a Roman citizen. He was definitely a devout Jew, and among those who persecuted the early followers of Jesus for breaking Jewish law. What was Luke's relationship with Jesus? Luke never met Jesus. Who wrote the Gospel of Luke? The traditional view is that the Gospel of Luke and Acts were written by the physician Luke, a companion of Paul. Many scholars believe him to be a Gentile Christian, though some scholars think Luke was a Hellenic Jew. many modern scholars have expressed doubt that the author of Luke-Acts was the physician Luke Why was Jesus killed in Luke? According to Luke, Jesus was crucified as a potential threat to Rome. Luke portrays Jerusalem's Jewish leadership as instrumental in Jesus' execution.

When the injeel ( Gospel given to Jesus)came, it superseded all previous scriptures. If you still want to follow Injeel , Quran say Allah will judge you based only on Injeel given to Jesus on the judgement day , Not the New Testament you are holding. So,You should find the Injeel in Aramaic. 😂Do not tell that Allah has no authority to give the judgment 👍 RE: Scripture readings for Christmas - Hope - 22-02-2025 (22-02-2025, 08:25 AM)Hope Wrote: Luke and Paul never met Jesus.

Jesus wasn’t an illiterate, Why should others write his teachings? Both Paul and Luke were Jews and persecuted the true followers of Jesus , How sincere were they to teaching of Jesus ? Mary Magadalene was close to Jesus, as per your belief, She was even at the site when Jesus was crucified, why don’t you have a gospel from her?

RE: Scripture readings for Christmas - pinkpanther - 22-02-2025 (22-02-2025, 12:37 PM)Hope Wrote: Quran no where mentioned ref to old scriptures. The Quran says that God promises to preserve the Remembrance in Surah 15, Verse 9. Also we see that the Torah and Gospel were referred to as Remembrance and this is supported by appealing to Surah 16:43, 21:7, 21:48, 21:105 and 40:53-54. If you say that the Gospel was lost,then your Allah has failed to live up to His promise of preserving the Gospel ![]() RE: Scripture readings for Christmas - Hope - 23-02-2025 (22-02-2025, 02:36 PM)pinkpanther Wrote: Where is the Injeel?

Gospel according to Matthew Gospel according to Mark Gospel according to Luke Gospel according to John Acts of the Apostles Letter of Paul to the Roman Letters of Paul to the Corinthian I, ii Letter of Paul to the Galatians Letter of Paul to the Ephesians Letter of Paul to the Philippians Letter of Paul to the Colossians Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians I,ii,iii Letter of Paul to Timothy I,ii Letter of Paul to Titus Letter of Paul to Philemon Letter to the Hebrews Letter of James Letter of Peter I,ii Letter of John I,ii,iii Letter of Jude Revelation to John New Testament is not from Allah ✌️or ANY OTHER GOD who govern this universe.✌️✌️ “So woe to those who distort the Scripture with their own hands then say, “This is from Allah”—seeking a fleeting gain! So woe to them for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they have earned.”Quran 2:79 “There are some among them who distort the Book with their tongues to make you think this ˹distortion˺ is from the Book—but it is not what the Book says. They say, “It is from Allah”—but it is not from Allah. And ˹so˺ they attribute lies to Allah knowingly.”Quran 3:78 RE: Scripture readings for Christmas - Hope - 23-02-2025 (22-02-2025, 02:46 PM)pinkpanther Wrote: The Quran says that God promises to preserve the Remembrance in Surah 15, Verse 9. Also we see that the Torah and Gospel were referred to as Remembrance and this is supported by appealing to Surah 16:43, 21:7, 21:48, 21:105 and 40:53-54. I have pasted here all those verses you have mentioned. In which verse has Allah told he would preserve Torah or Gospel? “It is certainly We Who have revealed the Reminder, and it is certainly We Who will preserve it.”Quran 15:9 “We did not send ˹messengers˺ before you ˹O Prophet˺ except mere men inspired by Us. If you ˹polytheists˺ do not know ˹this already˺, then ask those who have knowledge ˹of the Scriptures˺.”Quran 16:43 “We did not send ˹messengers˺ before you ˹O Prophet˺ except mere men inspired by Us. If you ˹polytheists˺ do not know ˹this already˺, then ask those who have knowledge ˹of the Scriptures˺.”Quran 21:7 “Indeed, We granted Moses and Aaron the decisive authority—a light and a reminder for the righteous’”Quran 21:48 “Surely, following the ˹heavenly˺ Record, We decreed in the Scriptures: “My righteous servants shall inherit the land.”Quran 21:105 And indeed, We gave Moses ˹true˺ guidance, and made the Children of Israel inherit the Scripture— a guide and a reminder to people of reason.” Quran 40:53-54 RE: Scripture readings for Christmas - pinkpanther - 23-02-2025 (23-02-2025, 12:39 AM)Hope Wrote: I have listed all your 27 books.

Remember Allah is all knowing...Don tell me He doesn't know if the Gospel will be lost? If it will be lost, it makes no sense for Him to send it to Jesus...

The reminder and remembrance is the same meaning...just like muhaimin can have many meanings...you see how 1 Arabic word can have several meanings? Surah 6:115 and 18:27 state that no one can change Allah's words. The Torah and Gospel were Allah's words. Since they couldn't have changed, Islam testifies to the incorruptibility of the Bible's text ![]() RE: Scripture readings for Christmas - Hope - 23-02-2025 (23-02-2025, 09:07 AM)pinkpanther Wrote: Allah gave one book to Jesus? so where is the book?

Before Question Allah, you should Question yourself why you have to accept and follow the teachings not meant for Indian, Chinese ,African or non descendants of Jacob. It is recorded in Matthew 15: 24 “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” RE: Scripture readings for Christmas - Hope - 23-02-2025 (23-02-2025, 09:13 AM)pinkpanther Wrote: The reminder and remembrance is the same meaning...just like muhaimin can have many meanings...you see how 1 Arabic word can have several meanings? Both verses you mentioned refer to Quran only. “The Word of your Lord has been perfected in truth and justice. None can change His Words. And He is the All-Hearing, All- Knowing.”Quran 6:115 “Recite what has been revealed to you from the Book of your Lord. None can change His Words, nor can you find any refuge besides Him.”Quran 18:27 Allah sent Moses and Jesus to guide Israelites only. Their teachings weren’t meant for non descendants of Jacob. |
