Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind:
1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur
513times throughout the Glorious Quran. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. The detailed breakdown of all of this is thoroughly listed here. This Miracle is covered in 100s (hundreds) of Noble Verses.
2- Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for
950 years. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters. You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.
Muslims believe that when a person dies two angels called Nakeer and Munkar visit him
in his grave. They question him about his Faith, if he is found a believer his tomb is
widened 70 cubits square (each cubit is one foot six inches) and it is illumined. Then he
is told to go to sleep like a bridegroom until the day of resurrection when Allah raises
him up to reward him. But if he is found a "hypocrite" they order the tomb to
squeeze him until his ribs are crushed.
Quran says that at the Day of Judgment, the heaven is split asunder (Q.84:1) and it
will heave with (awful) heaving (Q.52:9), the sun is overthrown (Q.81:1), the Earth is
shaken with her (final) earthquake (Q. 99:1),the
moon is eclipsed (Q.75:8) and “the angel Israfil will sound the trumpet and all
living creatures, mankind, angels and jinn then living, will die. Another blast and all
will be raised to life. Allah's throne will appear in the clouds, carried by 8 angels.
Believers will receive a book of their deeds in their right hand, and unbelievers in their
left hand. The books will be opened and men's works weighed on scales (mizan). In fear,
men will look for someone to plead with Allah. They will go to Adam, Abraham, Moses and
Jesus, but find no help. At last they will turn to Muhammad”
“Muslims also believe that there is a bridge across Hell, named Sirat, which is
sharper than the edge of sword and thinner than a hair. Faithful Muslims believe that they
will cross over it in the "twinkling of an eye" and enter Paradise. Other
Muslims may fall into Hell, but will later be released. Unbelievers will fall into Hell
and remain forever.”
No one knows the exact time for the Day of Judgment but it is going to be a Friday 10th
of Muharram. At that time Allah will resurrect all the dead. He will collect their
dispersed dusts and call them to visit him. And people will see Allah as clear as seeing
the sun in a not cloudy day. Then he will judge them based on their beliefs. Those who did
not associate any other God with Allah, irrespective of what crimes they have committed
will go to Paradise. There are verses in Quran that speak of good deeds like this
one,
[Al-Imran 3:30] On the Day when every soul will find itself confronted with
all that it hath done of good and all that it hath done of evil (every soul) will long
that there might be a mighty space of distance between it and that (evil).
But actually the evil for Muhammad did not mean what we usually think of it. By evil he
meant disbelief. This is clear from the following verse.
[Ibrahim 14:44] And warn mankind of a day when the doom will come upon them,
and those who did wrong will say: Our Lord! Reprieve us for a little while. We will obey
Thy call and will follow the messengers. (It will be answered): Did ye not swear before
that there would be no end for you?
For Allah nothing is more abhorrent than disbelief and once you believe all your sins
are forgiven and your place in paradise is guaranteed. In a Hadith noted by Bukhari the
importance of belief over good deeds is emphasized.
Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 445:
Narrated Abu Dhar:
The Prophet said, "Gabriel said to me, 'Whoever amongst your followers die without
having worshipped others besides Allah, will enter Paradise (or will not enter the (Hell)
Fire)." The Prophet asked. "Even if he has committed illegal sexual intercourse
or theft?" He replied, "Even then."
But for disbelievers there is no salvation.
[al-Ma'idah 5:36] As for those who disbelieve, lo! if all that is in
the earth were theirs, and as much again therewith, to ransom them from the doom on the
Day of Resurrection, it would not be accepted from them. Theirs will be a painful doom.
[al-Kahf 18:106] That is their reward: hell, because they disbelieved, and
made a jest of Our revelations and Our messengers.
[Ta Ha 20:100] Whoso turneth away from it, he verily will bear a burden on
the Day of Resurrection,
My
Response:
I find nothing wrong with Ali Sina's introduction to the
topic.
Ali Sina said:
What about those who have loved others? We humans put a great emphasis on loving and
helping each other and on charitable works, but for Allah all that is irrelevant.
[al-`Ankabut 29:25] The love between you is only in the life of the world.
Then on the Day of Resurrection ye will deny each other and curse each other, and your
abode will be the Fire, and ye will have no helpers.
My
Response:
What do we say about a person who does not love his father?
His or her father gave that person shelter, food, love, hope, financial aid for education,
clothes etc. That parent gave that child everything. Imagine that child does not love the
father back, what do we say about such a person?
Now, what do we say about a person who does not love
God? God, who gave him eyes to see, nose to smell, tongue to taste, hands to touch, feet
to walk with, and THE PERSON'S PARENTS. What do we say about a person who does not love
and acknowledge his God? Indeed it is much much worse than the person who does not
acknowledge his or her own parents.
So why should God love that person back? It would not be just
of God to love those who love him and those who do not love him.
Us Muslims believe that Allah has put us on earth and made us
all Muslims by fitrah (nature). That it is natural for all of us to want to know God. To
get to know God. We are born pure. It is like he has put us all on a highway leading to
paradise but there are many exits. People unfortunately take those exits despite God
warning us not to take them. Therefore, those who turn away from the mercy of God. Reject
the love that God wants to give them and has already given them from the start. Therefore,
God does not love them anymore. They do not deserve to be loved.
Ali Sina said:
Those who did not accept Allah will easily be recognized because they will have their
faces “blackened”.
[az-Zumar 39:60] And on the Day of Resurrection thou (Muhammad) seest those
who lied concerning Allah with their faces blackened. Is not the home of the scorners in
hell?
If another person said the above politically incorrect statement, it would have
offended the blacks, but strange as it is the blacks are the ones who are flocking towards
Islam, as if they are completely unaware of the prophet’s low opinion of their
race.
This stereotyping is reaffirms in another place.
[Al-Imran 3:106] On the Day when (some) faces will be whitened and (some)
faces will be blackened; and as for those whose faces have been blackened, it will be said
unto them: Disbelieved ye after your (profession of) belief? Then taste the punishment for
that ye disbelieved.
Of course the absurdity of this belief is self-evident and needs no clarification.
However Muslims are unable to ask themselves simple questions like what is the use of a
wide and illumined grave to a deceased?
My
Response:
Because Ali Sina is an anti super
naturalist, he does not believe in these kind of things. However, his subjective opinions
mean nothing.
Well
obviously if the grave is widened, the person will feel more relaxed and not so compressed
in his grave.
Ali Sina said:
Has anyone seen a widened and illumined grave?
My
Response:
Have you ever dug one up to check if it
was widened?
Ali Sina said:
Islamic Paradise is a physical place. That is why Allah has to collect all the dust of
the dead people to punish or reward them. That makes even less sense when we know that we
constantly renew the elements that compose our body..
It seems that the prophet had no idea of the spiritual reality of man that is independent
from the material world. Allah's rewards are hoories, wine, honey, gardens, mansions,
cloths with gold embroidery and other material objects. These are all material rewards.
What is the use of all these for human spirit? His punishment is also physical: fire.
Heaven, in Islam, is the place where believers will be reclining under the shade of the
trees, eating and drinking exquisite wines, and engaging in sex with virgins.
[Surah 55:54-46]"They will recline on carpets whose inner linings
will be of rich brocade: the fruit of the gardens will be near. In them will be (Maidens),
Chaste, restraining their glances, whom no man or Jinn before them has touched (virgins)."
Good deeds have no merits; Belief in Allah and his messenger is the only requisite to
inherit this materialistic paradise.
My
Response:

Spirituality in Islamic Paradise
It is true that most of the descriptions
of paradise in Islam may seem physical but we also do have spiritual pleasures.
Allah has promised the
men and women of the believers Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in them
timelessly, forever, and fine dwellings in the Gardens of Eden. And Allah's good pleasure is even
greater. That is the great victory. (Sura 9, 72)
We would be in the pleasure of God. That isn’t spirituality?
The most striking
expression of what believers feel when they win Allah's good pleasure is that He will
manifest Himself to them in a way that they can see Him. This is impossible in the world
because, as the Qur'an says: "Eyesight cannot perceive
Him" (Sura 6, 10) But according to the Qur'an, in the next life and in a
certain way Allah will manifest Himself to His believing servants. Only Allah knows how
this will happen. But we are informed in the Qur'an that the believers' "faces that Day will be radiant, gazing at their Lord" (Sura
75, 22-23) and "'Peace!' A word from a Merciful
Lord" (Sura 36, 58) will be heard. Believers will be "on
seats of honor in the presence of an All-Powerful King" (Sura 54, 55).
In other words,
the greatest possible blessing that believers can have is the deep sense of Allah's mercy
and will. By winning His good pleasure, they experience a joy and a happiness that cannot
be compared with any material blessing.
Actually, it is
Allah's will that gives value to Paradise's other blessings. The same blessings may exist
on Earth to a certain extent, but they have no meaning for believers as long as they
surpass the limits Allah established.
CONVERSATIONS IN
PARADISE
They will say:
"Praise be to Allah, Who has removed all sadness from us. Truly our Lord is
Ever-Forgiving, Ever-Thankful: He Who has lodged us, out of His favor, in the Abode of
Permanence, where no weariness or fatigue affects us." (Sura 35, 34-35)
The Qur'an
contains detailed accounts of conversations among believers, to whom Allah has given an
exalted position in Paradise. These conversations are important, because they provide a
good example for believers in this life. The verses: "They
will hear no idle talk in it, nor any call to sin. All that is said is: 'Peace! Peace!'''
(Sura 56, 25-26) show the importance of avoiding empty talk. Elsewhere, the same
point is expressed as:
They will hear no idle
talk nor any lying there, as a recompensation from your Lord, a commensurate gift. (Sura
78, 35-36)
Isn’t all this
spiritual pleasures?!!!
Ali Sina said:
Even Christians will not be spared.
In one place one is lead to believe that the people of the scriptures, i.e. the Jews
and the Christians are saved,
[al-Hajj 22:17] Lo! those who believe (this revelation), and those who are
Jews, and the Sabaeans and the Christians and the Magians and the idolaters - Lo! Allah
will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection. Lo! Allah is Witness over all things.
Then again, this is contradicted by another verse.
[al-Ma'idah 5:14] And with those who say: "Lo! we are Christians,"
We made a covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were admonished. Therefore
We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah
will inform them of their handiwork.
The same is said of the Jews (Q.10:93).
My
Response:
Those Jews and Christians refer to the people at the time
of the prophets who accepted the true message, which is Islam. Its talking about the Jews
(true followers of Moses), Christians (true followers of Christ).
So don't be surprised to see Mother Theresa burning in the Hell while Khomeni and
Saddam Hussein who believed in Allah and his messenger sitting under the shade of a tree
with a pretty hoory at their right side and another at their left, sipping from the
chilled wine in Paradise.
The concept of the life after death in Islam is very much similar to the Jehowa's
Witnesses' concept of the other world. Jehowa Witnesses believe that after the death, the
deceased has no consciousness until the last day when he is risen from death and if found
a believer would inherit the Earth and would live in a terrestrial Paradise forever. This
is how Quran and Hadith explain the life after death. However, this subject is foggy for
most of the Muslims. They have their personal ideas about it that often contradict the
above what Quran and the hadithes teach about the life after death.
My
Response:
Ali Sina is just making fun and being
immature. He has no case and has failed to bring any objective evidence against Islam.
We do not know if Khomeni or Saddam Hussein are in heaven and
Mother Theresa are in hell. God will judge everyone fairly as that is his promise.
In Islam we believe that those who have received the true
message of Islam and rejected it knowing that it is the truth, those are going to hell.
God does not punish those who have not received the true message.God never puts anyone in Hell for no reason or if
the person does not deserve it.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 41 Surah Haa Meem verse 46:
46 Whoever works righteousness benefits his own soul; whoever works evil
it is against his own soul: nor is thy Lord ever unjust (in the least) to His servants!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22
Surah Hajj verses 7-10:
7 And verily the Hour will come: there can be no doubt about it or about
(the fact) that Allah will raise up all who are in the graves.
8 Yet there is among men such a one as disputes about Allah without
knowledge, without guidance, and without a Book of Enlightenment.
9 (Disdainfully) bending his side in order to (lead men) astray from
the Path of Allah; for him there is disgrace in this life and on the Day of Judgment we
shall make him taste the Penalty of burning (Fire).
10 (It will be said): "This is because of the deeds which thy hands
sent forth for verily Allah is never unjust to His servants!
One amongst the many Noble and Exclusive Attributes of our Lord Creator
is that He is the ‘Al-Aadil’ or the All-Just; and it does not behove and befit
His Majesty and His Mercy to ever be unjust to any in His creation.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Israa verses 13-15:
13 Every man`s augury We have fastened on his own neck: on the Day of
Judgment We shall bring out for him a scroll which he will see spread open.
14 (It will be said to him:) "Read thine (own) record: sufficient is
thy soul this day to make out an account against thee."
15 Who receiveth guidance receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth
astray doth so to his own loss: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor
would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent Our messenger!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 26 Surah Shuaraa verses 208-209:
208 Never did We destroy a people but had its warners
209 by way of reminder; and We never are unjust.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 35 Surah Faatir verse 24:
24 Verily We have sent thee (O Prophet) in Truth, as a bearer of glad
tidings and as a warner: and there never was a people without a warner having lived
among them.
And just to make absolutely sure that this
Just-Law is implemented and that one who has not received the Message of their Lord is
punished, every time a people are about to be cast into the dungeons of the Hell Fire,
they will be asked by the guardian Angels of the Hell Fire whether or not a warner from
their Lord came to them and recited to them the Warning and the Message of their Lord! And
every wrongdoer at the gates of Hell Fire on that Tumultuous Day will indeed admit and
confess himself that Allah’s warner did indeed come unto them, but it was they
themselves who in their arrogance rejected Allah’s Message and His Warning!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 67 Surah Mulk verses 6-11:
6 For those who reject their Lord is the Penalty of Hell: and evil is
(such) destination.
7 When they are cast therein they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of
its breath, even as it blazes forth.
8 Almost bursting with fury: every time a group is cast therein its
keepers (the Angels) will ask "Did no warner come to you?"
9 They will say: "Yes indeed: a warner did come to us but we
rejected him and said `Allah never sent down any (Message): ye are in nothing but an
egregious delusion!` "
10 They will further say: "Had we but listened or used our
intelligence we should not (now) be among the companions of the Blazing Fire!"
11 They will then confess their sins: but far will be (Forgiveness)
from the Companions of the Blazing Fire!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah Zumar verses 71-72:
71 The unbelievers will be led to Hell in crowds; until when they arrive
there its gates will be opened and its Keepers (the Angels) will say "Did not
messengers come to you from among yourselves rehearsing to you the Signs of your Lord and
warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" The answer will be: "True: but
the decree of punishment has been proved true against the unbelievers!"
72 (To them) will be said: "Enter ye the gates of Hell to dwell
therein: and evil is (this) abode of the arrogant!"
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 35 Surah Fatir verses 36-37:
36 But those who reject (Allah) for them will be the Fire of Hell: no term
shall be determined for them so they should die nor shall its Penalty be lightened for
them: thus do We reward every ungrateful ones!
37 Therein will they cry aloud (for assistance): "O Our Lord! Bring
us out: we shall work righteousness not the (deeds) we used to do!" Did We not
give you long enough life so that he that would should receive admonition? And (moreover)
the warner came to you! So taste ye (the fruit of your deeds): for the wrongdoers
there is no helper."
Did
Isaiah 53 really prophesies about the crucifixion of Jesus? It supports Islam's
claims about Jesus peace be upon him never died on the cross. I also addressed John
19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty
promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken.
My question to all Christians is: How in the world is it possible
for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails,
hence breaking part of the feet's bones?! I also added
refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10
and Psalm 34:20, which supposedly prove the Christians' belief about Jesus
crucifixion. I proved that this dogma has no truth what so ever and exposed the
wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah 12:10.
Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind:
1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur
513times throughout the Glorious Quran.

The detailed breakdown of all of this is thoroughly listed here. This Miracle is covered in 100s (hundreds) of Noble Verses.
2- Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for
950 years. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters. You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.
