The Gospel Message

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
“The Messenger of Allah (prayers and Peace be upon him) said, Preach from me even if it is one single ayyat and narrate from the Israelites’ and there is no harm. Whoever attributed a lie to me intentionally, he prepared his residence from the fire of hell.” Bukhari Vol. 9 Chapter 10
The Messenger of Allah (prayer and Peace be upon him) said, “Preach from me even if it is one single ayyat and narrate from the Israelites...”
The Gospel Message of Jesus (peace be upon him) VS the Gospel Message of Paul.
This is an advice for those who fear their Lord and sincerely desire his True guidance.
This information will produce irrefutable facts that the teachings of Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him) is total opposed to the teaching of Paul. This is achieved simply by taking a close look at their mission as stated by them in the King James Version of the bible. For example Jesus (peace be upon him) states clearly in Matt: 5:17, 18. “17, Think not that I have come to destroy the law on the prophets; I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18, for verily I say unto you, Till Heaven and Earth pass, one jot one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Paul however states in Galatians 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us:…” However in Acts 24:14, 15, Paul Confesses. 14, But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call hearsay (against correct Jewish belief in the law) worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things that are written in the law and in the prophets: 15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead both of the just and the unjust.
Paul here is describing the promise of the Al Mighty Lord which is based on the law which he denies in Galatians 3:13. Paul clearly states in Galatians 3:15 brethren, I speak after manner of men, though it he but a man’s covenant (promise of one man to another man or men)… Notice not the covenant or promise of the Al Mighty. Whereas Jesus (peace be upon him) states clearly Matt: 15:9.
“In vain do they worship me teaching for doctrine the commandments of men?”
Paul describes his mission on Romans 3:7, 8. 7, “for if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner. 8, And not rather let us do evil so that good may come. Whose damnation is just.” Let me point out that only evil can arise from preaching falsehood concerning the glory of the Almighty Lord. As well as it is the greatest sin. Deuteronomy 18: “But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.” In 2 Corinthians 11:16, 17, 18, 19. Paul describes his followers as fools receiving him and admits he is not speaking after the word of the Lord “but as it were foolishly.”
16, “I say again let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.”
17, That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
18, Seeing that many glory after the flesh I will glory also.
19, For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing yourselves are wise.
Now let us look at Paul’s word under the light of the words of Jesus son on Mary (peace be upon him). St. John 7:16-19 16, “Jesus (peace be upon him) answered them, and said, my doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.”
17, If any man will do his will (to do his will, to do the Almighty’s will by following his law is Islam) he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18, He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19, Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
Plainly Jesus (peace be upon him) makes it clear that the man that seeks glory for himself though his doctrine has nothing to do with the doctrine of the Almighty Lord.
In 2, Corinthians 12:6, 7 Paul tells us where his revelations come from: 6,” For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool, for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.”
7, “And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, messenger of the Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.”
Paul says his revelation came from “a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me.” Let’s turn back to Romans 3:7. “If the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory.” To see what the truth is concerning the Al Mighty Lords glory we turn to Isiah 42:8. 8, “I am the Lord that is my name: And my glory I will not give to another…” Combining Jesus with God is Paul’s gospel. Paul states in 2 Timothy 2:8 “Remember Jesus Christ son of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel.” Keep in mind Paul has said in Romans 3:7. If the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory. He is stating his gospel is a lie. Jesus (peace be upon him) has stated in St. John 3:42-45. 42, Jesus (peace be upon him) said unto them, If God were your father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43, Why do you not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my words.
44, Ye are of your father the devil and the lust of your father will ye do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie he speaketh his own: for he is a liar and the father of it.
To find the truth concerning salvation we have to turn away from lying to the truthful Jesus (peace be upon him) Luke 10:25-28. 25, “And behold a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him saying, Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26, “He said unto him what is written in the law? How readest thou?”
27, And he answering said, “Thou shalt love the Lord Thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thy self.”
28, And he Jesus (peace be upon him) said unto him, “Thou has answered right! This do, and thou shall live (you shall receive salvation).” Notice Jesus (peace be upon him) did not say “I will die on the cross for your salvation.” In fact we Muslims know Jesus (peace be upon him) was physically taken up (similar to Elijah 2 Kings chap 2:11 verse). Judas was cursed and made to look like him and hung on the cross (Gospel of Barnabas). In Jeremiah 31:30 we read “But everyone shall die for his own iniquity (sins)…”
In Jeremiah 31:34 we read “….saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity (evil deeds) and remember, I will remember their sins no more.” Together these two verses prove there was no human sacrifice for mans salvation, and that the Al Mighty Lord’s forgiveness and mercy is enough for mans salvation.
If your son stole your money would you kill your daughter to compensate for his punishment? No, you would not because it wouldn’t be just or merciful. This should indicate to you that your Creator who created justice and mercy in you would not kill one person for the sins of others.
Romans 3:7 “If the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his Glory…
Since Paul says his Message is a lie, his revelation must be a lie, since he says so. Let’s look at his testimony about revelations that many people trust as truth for their salvation.
In Galatians 2:15-20 Paul states; 15 “But when it please God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, 16, to reveal his son to me, that I might preach him among the heathens; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 17, Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which we apostles before me; but I went into Arabia and returned again unto Damascus. 18, Then after three years I went to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen says. 19, But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother. 20, Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
Now, because Paul has sworn by God we will accept his word that this testimony is completely true. “Before God, I lie not.” States Paul.

In Acts 9 Paul again describes his revelation. Paul says in Acts 9:8, “And Saul rose from the earth and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him Damascus.” However in Galatians 1:17 Paul says, neither went up to Jerusalem to them which we Apostles before me but I went into Arabia. Acts 9.8 must be false because Paul has sworn before God that Galatians 1:17 is true. In Acts 9:10 states 10 “And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision…” Acts 9:17 states’ “Ananias went his way, and entered the house, and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord even Jesus (peace be upon him), that appeared unto thee in the way as thou comest, hath sent me…” However in Galatians 1:17 Paul states, “I went into Arabia and returned again unto Damascus. 18, Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him for fifteen days. 19, But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother. 20, Now the things I write unto you, behold, Before God I lie not.” Notice in Acts 9:10 Ananias is identified as being a disciple also notice Peter is not here mentioned. Also Paul has stated he didn’t see any of the apostles accept Peter and James until three years after having seen his first revelation. However, Acts 9:19 states “then Saul was certain days with the disciples that were at Damascus.”
Obviously we cannot accept Paul’s witness concerning his revelation because if his account in Galatians is indeed true as he has sworn before God his account in Acts 9 must be false. On the other hand Act 9:6 has Jesus (peace be upon him) telling Paul “… And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. Based on Paul’s own oath before God in Galatians 1:20 Paul in Acts 9:6 has lied on Jesus (peace be upon him).
The only thing consistent about this testimony of Paul about his revelation is that it is a lie. Remember Jesus (peace be upon him) in St. John 8:12 “Ye are of your father the Devil…when he speaketh a lie he speaketh his own: for he is a liar and father of it.” Will you base your hope of the Al-Mighty Lords salvation on these lies of Paul, ignoring the plain description of the devil and warning of the truthful Jesus (peace be upon him)?
Paul’s mission statement in Romans 3:7 “If the truth Of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory…” is a lie. Jesus (peace be upon him) has stated clearly lying is from the devil. Therefore, the truth of God cannot abound on (grow) through lying. What is the glory of God? Isaiah 42:8 states, “I am the Lord that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another,…”. Jesus (peace be upon him) states clearly in Matt 4:10, this saith Jesus (peace be upon him) unto him, “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only shall thou serve.”
Paul’s lie concerning the glory of God is preaching Jesus (peace be upon him) is the son of God to be worshipped with God, having died for mans sins. Later in the fourth century after the council of Nicea in 325 AD the lie concerning God’s glory took on the form of three with the addition of the Holy Ghost.
When looked at closely Paul’s message and gospel does not bring peace of the heart. The heart was created by our Lord to be his resting place and our place of peace and closeness to Him. We gain peace of the heart by doing His will by following His commandments and the ways of His Messengers (Prophets) (peace be upon them all).
In St. John 14:15 Jesus (peace be upon him) says, “If ye love me, keep my commandments. The true words of Jesus (peace be upon him) touch the heart with truth. We all know you cannot run a house without rules. The commandments are the rules of the Al Mighty Lord.” Jesus (peace be upon him) said, St. John 14:31… and as the father gave me commandment, even so I do.
Jesus (peace be upon him) was once asked in Mark 12:25, 29, 30, 31. 28, “Which is the first commandment of all? 29, And Jesus (peace be upon him) answered him, the first of all the commandment is, hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord:
30, And thou shall love the Lord they God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31, And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Indeed these are the Golden Rules of all true faith. Worship the Creator and love your neighbors as yourself. Jesus (peace be upon him) never told anyone to worship me, I am come to be murdered for your sins.
In Mark 7:7 Jesus (peace be upon him) states, “How be it in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” Paul states in 2 Corinthians 11:17 “That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it never foolishly…” Paul states after explaining his message in Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men,…
The mission of Jesus (peace be upon him) was to call the Jews back to obeying the commandments as revealed to Moses (peace be upon him) in their original form and spirit. Jesus (peace be upon him) said in Matthew 5:17 Thine not I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18, For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19, whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, And teach men so shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20, For I say unto, thou except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribe and Phar’isees ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus (peace be upon him) was sent to his people. We have taken an objective look at ….Paul’s message and have seen it is based on falsehood and confusion. In 2 Corinthians 12:6, Paul says…. “Nevertheless being crafty, I caught you with guile.”
The message of Jesus (peace be upon him) is based on peace and truth. Jesus (peace be upon him) states in Matthew 23:23, Those who do not follow the complete law are hypocrites. Matt: 23:23 “Woe unto you, scribes and Phar’isees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have omitted the weightier matter of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ye ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone.”
The mission of Jesus (peace be upon him) was to his own people Matt: 1:21 “and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name Jesus (peace be upon him) for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matt:10:5 “These twelve Jesus (peace be upon him) sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles (Gentile- of or pertaining to any people not Jewish.- Random house college dictionary.), and into any city of the Sa-mar’i-tans, enter ye not: 6 but go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel (see also Matt 10:23).”
However, Jesus (peace be upon him) not only told of the message of the Al-Mighty to obey His Law. He also told of the prophet to come to the Gentiles (those people not Jews) and named the Holy Last Messenger Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him). Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) has many names, two of them are, the chosen one in Arabic Mustafa and my beloved in Arabic Habiballah (the beloved of the Al-Mighty Lord). Jesus (peace be upon him) states in Matt 12:18, 20, 21 “Behold my servant (The Almighty Lord’s servant), whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul is will pleased: I will put my Sprit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. 21, And in his name shall the Gentiles (those people not Jews trust).
These events of the Messenger of Allah (prayers and Peace be upon him) coming to all nations had been foretold many centuries before by other Messengers of the Almighty Lord (prophets). For example, in Isiah 21:6, 7, 6, “Go set a watchman let him declare what he seeth. 7, And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he harkened diligently with much heed:…”
We will learn the horsemen represented two Messengers of the Lord (prophets) one of them was associated with the asses, the other was associated with the camels.
Jesus (peace be upon him) is associated with the asses. Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) is associated with the camels.
In Matt 21:1-5, “and when they drew nigh unto Jeru-salem , and were come to Beth’phage, unto the mount of Olives, 2, “Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straight way ye shall find a ass tied, a colt with her loose them, and bring them unto me. 3, And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, the Lord hath need of them. 4. All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet saying, 5, “Tell ye the daughters of Sion, Behold they King cometh unto thee, meek and sitting on an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. 6, and the disciples went and did as Jesus (peace be upon him) commanded them. 11, and the multitude said, This is Jesus (peace be upon him) the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. Jesus (peace be upon him) describes himself as a prophet in Luke 4:24 “and he said, verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.”
Concerning the Messenger of Allah (may prayers and peace be upon him) sent to all the nations of the world Gentile and Jews we turn to Isiah 60:3, 4,5,6,7 which states 3, “and the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 4, lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: Thy sons shall come from far,…5, Then thou shall see and flow together, they , and thine heart shall fear and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come to thee. 6, The multitude of camels shall cover thee,... 7…and I will glorify the house of my glory.” The house of the house of my glory is the Ka’Baah in Arabia that was built by Abraham (peace be upon him) and his eldest son Ismael (peace be upon him).
Another prophecy Jesus (peace be upon him) reminds us of Genesis 49:10 “The scepter (power or authority- (of prophethood) shall not depart from Judah, (son of Issac) nor a law giver from between his feet (meaning this side of family) until Shiloh come (Shiloh means peace in Hebrew). Shiloh means peace in Arabic, which is Salaam…( Salaam root of Islam) come; (or the messenger of Islam come) and unto him will be the gather of the people. Note above in verse 4 of Isiah 60 it mentions describing the Message sent gathering of the people.” to the Gentiles, 4”….all they gather themselves together they come to thee.”
Jesus (peace be upon him) reminded the Jews of this promise of the Almighty Lord in Matt 21, 42,43,44,45 42, “Jesus (peace be upon him) saith unto them, did ye never read it, the Scriptures, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?” 43, “Therefore say I unto you the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits therefore.” 44, “ and whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.” 45, and when the chief priest and Phar-i-sees (of the Jews) had heard the parables, they perceived that he spoke of them. 46, But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Most people know Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) came from Arabia. In Ancient times Arabia was called Paran sometimes wilderness of Paran. Paran, today’s Arabia is where Ishmael (peace be upon him) and his mother Ha’gar (Allah be pleased with her) settled after they left the area of today’s Isreal. Ha’gar (Allah be pleased with her) was Sarah’s (the Lord be pleased with her) slave. Sarah (Allah be pleased with her) was very old and asked Abraham (peace be upon him) to marry Haggar (Allah be pleased with her) so that Haggar (Allah be pleased with her) might bear Abraham (peace be upon him) a child. Genesis 16:3 “An Sa’rai, (The Lord latter changed her name to Sarah) Abram’s wife, took Ha’gar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Ca’naan, and gave her to for husband Abram to be his wife.” “To be his wife” not his concubine. This is important. Concubines have no rights of inheritance, wives do. See Deuteronomy 21:16, 17.
The Al Mighty Lord made a covenant-promise with Abram and changed his name to Abraham (peace be upon him). The covenant was that he and his seed should follow faithfully the Al Mighty Lords Law; He would make them His Messengers (prophets, peace be upon them) and rulers of the earth. He would also give them many lands in this life and eternal happiness and salvation in the next life. Gensis 21:12, 13 The covenant was to be shared by Isaac (peace be upon him) and Ismael (peace be upon him).
Genesis 21:12 states, … “for in Isaac (peace be upon him) shall thy seed be called, 13, Also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.” Genesis 21:21 states concerning Ishmael (peace be upon him). 21, “And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.”
Just as a footnote it’s interesting to note that the Holy Last Messenger Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) also married and Egyptian lady. Also the first place He (may prayers and peace be upon him) sent the Muslims for protection from persecution of their enemies was Egypt then called Abyssinian. In Deuteronomy 33:1,2. We read, “And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses (peace be upon him) the man of God blessed the children of Isreal before his death. 2, “And he said, the Lord came from Si’nai, and rose up from Seir (Si’nai is where Moses (peace be upon him) received his revelation). He shined forth from Mt. Paran. Exodus 19:20 states, “And the Lord came down upon mount Si’nai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses (peace be upon him) up to the top of the mount; and Moses (peace be upon him) went up.” Seir is a mountain range running between Jerusalem and Bethlem. The area of the ministry of Jesus (peace be upon him). Paran today known as Mecca in Arabia is the birthplace of Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) were he (may prayers and peace be upon him) was persecuted and he (may prayers and peace be upon him) came back to establish the capital of Islam. The wilderness of Paran can be seen on most Ancient maps of this area. It is clear to see the area is Arabia.
St. John 1:19, 20, 21, 25 states, 19, “And this is the record of John, when the Jesus (peace be upon him) sent priests and Le’vites from Jerusalem to ask him, who art thou?” 20, “And he confessed, and denied not but confessed, I am not the Christ.” 21, “And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that Prophet?”
The point that is made here is that the Jews were expecting two Messengers (prophets) after the coming of Jesus (peace be upon him) referred to as “Christ”. This was so important that they asked him (peace be upon him) again. 25, “And they asked him, and said unto him, why baptizes thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that Prophet?”
There are two verses that leads any open minded person seeking the guidance of the Al Mighty Lord directly to the Holy Quran. Deuteronomy 18:18, 19 states, 18 “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” 19, “And it shall come to pass, that whoever will not hearken to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require of him. The Roman Catholic’s “Douay Version” bible reads’ ” I will be the revenger.”
Two very important issues stand out in this prophecy. The first is the description of the foretold Messenger (prophet) (may prayer and peace be upon him) being “like unto thee” referring to Messenger Moses (peace be upon him).The Messenger Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) is like Moses (peace be upon him) in that both of them were born from a mother and father, both of them fathered children, both received revelation of law and were leaders of law and were enforcers of their people. In the case of Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) is like Moses (peace be upon him) leaders of his people and all of mankind. All of these similarities stand out as differences to the life of Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him). Jesus (peace be upon him) had no earthly father. His revelation was not one dominated with law, because he followed the law of Moses (peace be upon him). Jesus (peace be upon him) did not marry or father any children and Jesus (peace be upon him) is not to return to live a normal physical life in this world. Whereas Moses (peace be upon him) and Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) are not to come back to earth and live an normal life. Therefore the prophet “like unto thee” is not Jesus (peace be upon him). The phrase “from among their brethren,” refers to the brethren of Isaac (peace be upon him) Ishmael (peace be upon him). In Genesis 16:11, 12 we read, 11, “…and thou shall call his name Ishmael (peace be upon him)” 12, … and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. In Genesis 25:17,” …( life of Ish’ma-el, a hundred and thirty and seven years:…and died, and was gathered to his people. 18,…And he died in the presence of all his brethren.” This refers to Ishmael (peace be upon him), the ancestor of Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him)
If someone has two sons the youngest son can never be the “only son” because he has a brother that is older.
In Genesis 17:25 we read And Ishmael (peace be upon him) his son was thirteen years old,…” In Genesis 18:10 we read, …Sarah (and Allah have mercy on her) thy wife shall have a son. In Genesis 16, “Now Sa’rai, (Sarah) Abram’s (Abraham) wife, bare him no children….” 2 “And Sa’ari said unto Abram, Behold now the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sa’ri (Sarah).” 3, And Sa’rai, (Sarah) Abram’s wife, took Haggar ( Allah have mercy on her) her maid the Egyptian …and gave her to her husband to be his wife. 4, And he went into Haggar (may Allah be pleased with her), and she conceived.
In view of the above facts Ishmael (peace be upon him) was the “only son” the first born. This is also confirmed in the Holy Quran Sura Saffat 37:100-113.

However in Genesis 22:1, 2 we read 1, “And it came to pass after these things that God did tempt Abraham (peace be upon him), and said unto him (peace be upon him), Abraham (peace be upon him): and he said, Behold, here I am. 2. And we said, Take now thy son thine only son Isaac (peace be upon him)…And offer for a burnt offering.”
The Merciful Lord would not leave man in this state. So he revealed the Holy Quran which is the pure true revelation which exists in the same Arabic that was revealed to Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) over 1400 years ago.
*Deuteronomy 18:19 reads, 19, “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken (listen to and follow) unto my words which he shall speak in my name I will require it of him.” No chapter of the bible begins with, “In the name of God.” Every Sura (division similar to chapters) in Holy Quran begins with “In the name of (God) Allah. Allah means the supreme Creator that has no sons or equal of any kind. *See Holy Quran Al Ahqaf 46:10 and Muzzamil 73:15.
The Holy Quran invites you to Islam to peace, to the laws and Guidance of your Creator. Long before any people was born. We were all asked by Him, The Al Mighty Creator, “Am I not your Lord?... We all replied yes. He said, “I will send you to a place where you will face hardship, trials, hunger, and lost to see who will be loyal to me. I will send My Messenger (peace be upon them all) and my books of guidance those who follow them will be successful, and go to Paradise to live forever in happiness. Those who reject me and his laws doing evil through the earth, I will punish them with everlasting fire in hell.”
The Holy Quran is our guide our manual for success. Jesus (peace be upon him), has said time and again success is doing the will of my father which is in heaven. The will of our Creator is in the Holy Quran. To be one who submits to his will: You must believe in Allah the Creator of us all, that he has no equal in His Creation. He has no sons. Jesus (peace be upon him) is a human being who is to return to earth And one of His Messengers (may prayers and peace be upon him) To believe in all of Allah’s Messengers. There were over 120, 000 of them that came to different people throughout history. A few well know ones are Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus (peace be upon them all) and Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) is the final and Last Messenger.
To believe in all the original books of Allah’s revelations that was revealed to them. To Moses (peace be upon him) came the Torah some of which survives in the Old Testament. To Jesus (peace be upon him) came the Injil some of which survives in the New Testament. The final and last book revealed and the only one totally unchanged is the Holy Quran which was revealed over a period of 23 years. The mission of Jesus (peace be upon him) was one or two years. During that time he (peace be upon him) did not marry, have children, or lead a government. However, during the mission of Sayyidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) he married, revelation was sent down from Allah to govern, marriage, treatment of children, duties to neighbors, inheritance, national and International affairs. The Holy Quran provides guidance for all human affairs. Without guidance and fear, of accountability to Allah there is no peace of heart. The end of such an affair is sorrow regret and pain; Drug addition, Alcoholism, Teenage pregnancies, Unwanted abortions, Aids and other major problems. Islam and the Holy Quran offer the solution to all these problems. According to The Almanac Book of facts, “the population increased 131 % within the past decade; Christianity increased 46 %, while Islam increased 235% reference.” “What did Jesus (peace be upon him) really say,” by Misha’al ibn Abdullah. In the past six weeks I have personally witnessed twelve people embrace Islam after learning of this information. To believe in the Angels (peace be upon him). Allah has informed us that Angels (peace be upon them) exist in Holy Quran. Most times they cannot be seen by people. Sometimes some people are allowed by Allah to see them. They are made of light. They perform various functions. There is an Angel (peace be upon him) that is on each person’s right side who records their good deeds. There are Angels (peace be upon them) on each person’s left side that record their bad deeds. There is an Angel (peace be upon them) that takes our soul at death. There are Angels (peace be upon them) that bring down rain, snow, and move the wind etc.
To believe in the Day of Judgment , this is a day when every person will stand before our Creator to be judged for our past deeds. Those who lived their life to the best of to the best of their ability to obey their Creator and His commands will receive His Mercy and Success forever in Paradise, Those who rejected Him and His guidance and caused crime and corruption on the earth will earn His eternal wrath and punishment in the fire of Hell.
To believe in predestination. That everything happens because of the plan of Al Mighty Allah, there are no accidents or events outside of His control. If these principals of belief find peace in your heart you are very fortunate because Al Mighty Allah has allowed you to accept these beliefs that He requests of you as a human being.
However, for a person to establish loyalty with Allah beliefs must be combined with sincere action to please Allah. These actions are called pillars of faith they hold up the faith like the supports to a building. There are five of them.
The first pillar is to bear witness openly before two witnesses. Testify that, there is no God but Allah and Muhammad ibn (son of) Abdullah is the final Messenger of Allah (may prayers and peace be upon him). To learn how to make your formal prayers 5 times a day. Informal prayers are called dua. There is a way to call on Allah immediately all the time. However, Salah or formal prayer requires our full undivided attention; and involves bowing, in different positions when we can. However, in very different situations such as illness we can make our formal Salah sitting or laying in bed. The Holy Last Messenger (may prayers and peace be upon him) while with his companions once shook the leaves off a tree. He (may prayers and peace be upon him) told his companions (Allah be pleased with them) when you make your Salah five times day all of your sins are forgiven.

The last three pillars of faith you only have to do if you qualify to do them.
Zakat which is an obligatory tax is only given if you qualify for it. If over a years’ time you accumulated for example 1,000 in saving while all your bills were paid. You would owe $2.50 or 21/2 % to be given to Zakat which is a tax for charity to be given to the poor and disadvantaged. (You can give as much charity voluntarily as you like at anytime).
The trip to Hajj should be made to Mecca in Arabia during the Hajj season, only if you can afford it. The trip is made to the first house of worship that was built to worship Allah by Ibrahim (Abraham) (peace be upon him) and his son Ishmael (peace be upon him). Muslims from all over the world come to Hajj. Each person wears one piece of white material. Millions of people are in one place at one time just to worship Allah. To obey His command.
If you are healthy during the Holy Month of Ramathan which is a lunar month (calculated based on the moon rather than the sun). You must fast during the day light hours from sun up to sun down. During that we do not eat, drink or have sexual relations with our marriage partners. Allah loves fasting mainly because no one really knows if you are fasting but Him. An attempt to translate Holy Quran says. “I hear your call, now, hear my call.” Fasting for Muslims increases our feeling of concern with people who may face hunger everyday because we experience hunger ourselves. Usually the fast last twelve hours or less depending on the season.
Fasting helps us to develop self control and mental discipline. While first we don’t do things we can normally do. This makes us stronger to resist temptations we should never do. Fasting helps to discover inner physical strength and to increase inner moral strength.
If all these principles have found a peaceful place in your heart that you wish to keep always. Locate two Muslim witnesses and openly declare your faith as stated above.
Many people have become slaves addicted to Drugs and alcohol. Islam removes this slavery by obeying Allah and finding peace by not using them. Some other prohibitions include no gambling, no sex out of marriage, no homo sexuality, and no prostitution.
If you are not Muslim you are warmly invited to embrace Islam. If you are Muslim I hope this material aids you in your obligation to Allah of inviting mankind to Him.
Please copy and distribute to libraries, colleges, bookstores, family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and associates also e-mail addresses.
Allah has charged us with conveying the clear message. He turns the hearts from disbelief to belief. The Holy Quran affirms:
“He hath chosen you and hath not put you in any hardship in the matter of faith; follow the faith of your father Abraham (peace be upon him). He hath given you the nomenclature of Muslim long ago and in this (Scripture) too, that the Messenger of Allah (may prayers and peace be upon him) may testify the truth before you and that you may stand witness to the whole of Mankind.”
Suggested projects: Have informal Dawah classes at public Masjids, libraries, colleges and meeting halls asking participants to bring one guest each week. This project in Detroit, MI has produced at least one shahadah a week. Work with an organization that houses the homeless and prepare food giving it to the homeless. Talk to the homeless briefly about 10 minutes each visit. This has produced at least two shahadahs each week per visit.
Direct new shahadahs to the closest Masjid or Islamic Centers, after arranging a time once a day after Salah where they can receive proper Islamic instructions. Give them a telephone number of a contact person that they can call anytime with questions or problems concerning Islam.
Distribute this to similar to “Loose Change” everywhere to all your e-mail addresses. Also feel free to duplicate and distribute in printed form.

Are You Interested? Is This Your Cup of Tea?

If so you are cordially invited to the Crossroads for Peace Dawah one dollar a week sponsor team to help keep our program on the air and possibly develop a cable television program in the future.

Your donations will also help us continue our weekly feed the hungry and clothe the needy program. On a regular basis we regularly feed anywhere from 50 to 200 people every Saturday to homeless people in Detroit, Michigan which has the highest poverty rate over 32% and the highest unemployment rate over 22% of any major city in America.

Hazrat Abu Hurirah (ra) relates that the Holy Last Messenger (may prayers an peace be upon him) said: "He who works hard on behalf of old women & the poor, is like a Mujahid in the cause of Allah; and the narrator thinks, he (may prayers and peace be upon him) added; "and like the person standing in prayer and who never tires, and like one who observes the fast and does not break it." Hazrat Abu Darda 'Ovaimer (ra) relates that he heard the holy Last Messenger (may prayers and peace be upon him) say: Look for my pleasure among the weak ones, for you are helped and provided on account of the weak ones among you. Riyad Tu Saliheen By Iman Nawawi (ra)

This is the way the one dollar a week sponsorship program works. After making your promise to send one dollar a week to Crossroads for Peace at this address: PO BOX912 Coldwater, MI 49036. Every week a part of your commitment is to locate ten other people to do the same thing.

You are the manager of your ten person team. You will communicate with your team members and make sure this is done each week.
How many times have you said I really love this or that good project but I just can't afford to support it.

The recent success of President Obamas' fund raising for his Presidential Campaign has proven many small donations can support the most costly project.

Crossroads for Peace is dedicated to defending the honor of Islam and the final Holt Last Messenger Sayidenah Muhammad (may prayers an peace be upon him) as well as Muslim/Christian unity in particular; and unity with all true humanitarians in general.
The Holy Last Messenger Sayidenah Muhammad (may prayers and peace be upon him) has said,"The person who spends one dinar (or penny) in Allah's cause, Allah will cause it to grow into a large mountain of gold as big as the mountain of MT. Uhad in Paradise.

Now, can you really afford not to grow 100 mountains of gold in Paradise each week defending Islam with your dollar each week? Please encourage your children to help in aiding this cause.

Please go to www.FM88.1WHPR.COM to watch the Crossroads for Peace show every Sunday morning from 10:30am - 11:30 am

Thank You,

Muhammad Hussain Qadri C.E.O. Crossroads for Peace
Please pray that our efforts are accepted by Allah and successful.

Why Should I support Crossroads for Peace ?

Did you know? Jerry Falwell has two radio programs in Lynchburg, Virgina broadcasting two shows each Sunday? He has stated on air that Muhammad (saw) is a terrorist and that Islam is a terrorist religion.

Our Holy Last Messenger (saw) has said,"You should have at least one weapon that your enemy has."

We do not have, in Detroit or elsewhere, enough radio stations or other Muslim information and news media to respond to such slander that help fuel hate towards Islam and hate crimes that occur in the U.S. and in prisons like those in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Detroit Free Press 9-5-09
Ex-solider sentenced to 5 life terms
By Brett Barrouquere
Associated Press
PADUCAH, Ky.- A former soldier received five consecutive life sentences Friday for his role in the rape and murder of an Iraqi teenager and the slaying of three of her relatives.
"What the defendant did was horrifying and inexcusable," U.S. District Judge Thomas Russell said in sentencing Steven Green, 24, of Midland, Texas. "The Court believes any lesser sentence would be insufficient."
In May a civilian jury in western Kentucky convicted Green of raping Abeer Qassim al-Janabi on March12,2006, conspiracy and multiple counts of murder.
Green shot and killed the teens mother, father and sister, then became the third soldier to rape her before shooting her in the face. Her body was set on fire at the rural home outside Mahmoudiya, Iraq, about 20 miles south of Baghdad.
The panel couldn't reach a unanimous decision about whether Green should get a death sentence. That made Green's sentence life in prison. Barring a successful appeal or presidential pardon, Green will not be eligible for release from prison.

In such a dangerous and explosive climate towards Muslims and Islam, it becomes an obligatory duty for Muslims to give Dawah in all the best available ways in order to counteract such slander and in order to defend the honor of our Nabi Muhammad (saw) and Islam.

Broadcast angers Muslims
By Gregg Krupa
The Detroit News
Southfield-Muslims and interfaith leaders in Metro Detroit are asking a local radio station owner to discontinue broadcasts in which, they say, a Coptic priest has repeatedly defamed the Prophet Muhammad over the past year.
IN an Arabic-language broadcast Wednesday on WNZK 680/690 AM, the Rev. Zakariah Boutros said the Muslim prophet Muhammad had engaged in necrophilia and gay sex, according to the Council on American Islamic Relations.
Boutro has previously come under fire from area Muslims, who say he disparages Islam. The controversial, American-based priest can be heard on purchased time slots on radio stations internationally. His words have stirred controversy in Egypt and Great Britain, and are embraced by a number of blogger and Web sites that criticize Islam.

The unbelievers are allies (friends and protectors of each other), unless you do this befriend and protect each other there will be fitnah and oppression." Holy Quran 8:13

One Meccan woman used to viciously slander our blessed Nabi (saw) with her foul poetry. The Sahabah Hassan Thabit (ra) composed beautiful poetry defending Nabi Muhammad (saw). The Holy Last Messenger (saw) was very pleased with him (ra) and told him to continue to recite. He (ra) became Nabi Muhammad's (saw) personal poet.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE? WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good enjoining Al-Maruf (monotheism and all that Islam orders us to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (all that is evil and what Islam prohibits). Holy Quran 3:104

In Dar-Amanna (a nation of religious freedom) it becomes an obligatory duty for each Muslim citizen to defend Islam from slander and abuse using our freedom of speech and other forms of expression.

When we do not do this, we become the worst of mankind. In an authentic Hadith our Holy Last Messenger (saw) has said that when you stop enjoining good and forbidding evil, you will raise your hands in du'a before Allah and He will not answer your prayers.

As a matter of fact, we start resembling the passive Jews of World War II who silently watched each other go to concentration camps. Today, they are called detention centers.

WILL YOU BE NEXT?
With the Name of Allah and for Allah's sake, support all your Muslim news and information media by supporting the various fundraisers that will begin new programming and help to keep those programs in operation.

How to Tell Others About Islam
By Yahiya Emerick
"RADIO. Muslim produced radio programs are rare. A multitude of local cultural productions exist, but they hardly ever mention Islamic ideology beyond announcing important religious dates.
If Islamically-oriented programming could be accomplished in areas of high Muslim concertration, then a great service will have been rendered to the Ummah and to dawah. Imagine broadcasting the Quran with translation on the airwaves, or news from the Muslim perspective, or Muslim talk shows and variety programs. (WAHY FM?) Broadcast time can be purchased on some stations which specialize in mixed programming."
This dream has become a reality by way of Crossroadsforpeace radio/Internet program. Join us in continuing this valuable and needed service for Islam.

A few years ago, a Muslim Masjid was burned to the ground in Angola, IN about 15 miles away from Coldwater, MI Holy Qurans were trampled on.

Help us prevent these type of occurrences from happening again. Help us build a bridge of true knowledge of Islam and peace with our non-Muslim neighbors.

Please take time out to visit our fundraiser. See our pay pal on the right side our our blog. We are selling CD's of our radio/Internet program Crossroadsforpeace for $5.00 and DVD's for $10.00. Any donation large or small is appreciated. It only cost $60 to sponsor one show. Any donation large or small is appreciated. Checks can be made payable to Crossroads for Peace
