As'salamu Alaikum Everyone,

Let us first look at what Allah Almighty Said in the Glorious Quran:

[003:052]  When Jesus found Unbelief on their part He said: "Who will be My helpers to (the work of) God?" Said the disciples: "We are God's helpers: We believe in God, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.

[002:128]  "Our Lord! make of us Muslims, bowing to Thy (Will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will); and show us our place for the celebration of (due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy); for Thou art the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

[003:064]  Say: "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than God." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to God's Will).

[005:111]  "And behold! I inspired the disciples to have faith in Me and Mine Apostle: they said, 'We have faith, and do thou bear witness that we bow to God as Muslims'".

[016:102]  Say, the Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from thy Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims.

So according to Islam, Islam is GOD Almighty's Original and Universal Faith that all of His creations must follow.  And all of the Believing creations of GOD Almighty, - at least humans, - are called Muslims, which means Submiters to the Will of GOD Almighty.  Now, the topic about Islam and Muslims being mentioned throughout the Bible's Scriptures, had been discussed in good details before at:

Regarding this last link, this is an 11-page must read article!  Muslimeen, Silm, Shlam, Shlama (in Aramaic, the "a" at the end is the definite article that is equivalent to the alif and lam "al"), Mashloome, Mushlimana, Mishalmana, Mishlam, Witness in Arabic and Aramaic, and Prostration in Arabic and Aramaic are thoroughly discussed in it.

Also, the Bible calls the believers "Muslimeen" (Muslims) according to some Jewish Rabbis:
   
             
  

Also, the Hebrew Shalom or Shalam, which means "Peace" in Hebrew, implies "GOD's Peace be upon you" is also derived from the root Word, Islam.  GOD Almighty's Eternal Peace and us submitting to Him and to His Divine Will in Peace, is also what His Divine Religion is.  Islam is the Original Faith.  Hebrews used to pronounce the "s" as "sh".  They also pronounced the "a" as a thick "a".  So Shalom is really Salam, which means "Peace" in Arabic, and implies GOD Almighty's Peace in Islam.

I have begun researching this in depth, and alhamdulillah (all thanks are due to Allah Almighty), I was able to make some good progress.  I will be updating this section in great details soon, insha'Allah.  The following are good links that I was able to gather:

Does Muhammad exist in the Bible?

Anthony Rogers VS Osama Abdallah

   

1-  Prophet "AHMAD" is found in the Dead Sea Scrolls: (Click to play film) Prophet Muhammad's Name, "Ahmed", was also found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it was mentioned precisely in the Glorious Quran for the Prophet to be foretold by this very Name, Ahmed: "And when Jesus the Son of Mary said, O children of Israel, verily I am the Apostle of God sent unto you, confirming the law which was delivered before me, and bringing good tidings of an Apostle who shall come after me, and whose name shall be Ahmed. And when he produced unto them evident miracles, they said, this is manifest sorcery.  (The Noble Quran, 61:6)" Prophet Jesus here has shed the light on the old Prophecy of the coming Prophet, Ahmed.  So Ahmed was prophesied before Christ and also during Christ's lifetime. This film was also taken from this Youtube Channel.  As the author of the video said, look at the Aramaic alphabets in the Wikipedia link given, below.  See how Hhet and Tav are written.  They look very similar.  See also how the Dalet and Khaf are written, and how they're similar.  Now create your own "AHMAD" and "ETMAK" from these alphabets.  Now, compare the two words, and see how similar they look.  Compare the two words with the DSS by ignoring the vowels and accent ending.  Which word look similar?  Now read the whole chapter of Isaiah 42.  And even if the DSS was not tampered with, was it written wrongly as the letters are very similar?  The error could have gone back even before the DSS was written. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic_alphabet http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/28_chart.html Manuscript http://www.ao.net/~fmoeller/qum-35.htm http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/isaiah#42:3    2-  Prophet Muhammad in the Bible: Aside from the thorough articles in this section below, I demonstrated in my debate how Prophet Muhammad was Prophesied in the Bible [1] [2], and how he is the Final and Special Prophet that was going to be sent to all of mankind, according to the Bible itself. The Bible in the Old and New Testaments made DIRECT Prophecies about:      The Prophet who will come from the "EAST". The Bible defined "EAST" to mean Arabia, and the lands of Kedar and Teman (Saudi Arabia today). The Prophet who will come from "Arabia". The Prophet who will come from the lands and "tents of Kedar" and "lands of Teman".  Kedar and Teman (also called "Tema" in the Bible) are two of Ishmael's sons: Genesis 25:13-15. The Prophet who will "crush the idols of the deserts of Kedar". The Prophet who will "fight the idol worshipers" in the deserts of Kedar. The people of Kedar will Glorify GOD Almighty, and GOD will Glorify His Holy Temple "in Kedar". "Arabia will rejoice and blossom". The Prophet who will come from the "Desert". Again, the Bible also defined the "Desert" to mean the lands of Arabia, Kedar and Teman. The Prophet of the "New Law" & "New Covenant", whom the Jews "must not fear". The Prophet who is "like Moses".  Both Muhammad and Moses brought new Laws.  There is the Law of Moses, which the entire Bible is built on, and there is the Law of the Holy Quran, which Islam is built on. Also in the New Testament, Christ is recorded to have said this to the Jews: "So [For this reason; Therefore] I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to people [a nation] who do the things God wants in his kingdom [will produce its fruit]." (Matthew 21:43).  Jesus Christ here spoke about foreign people; non-Jews.  Jesus was a Jew and was speaking with Jews.  Read more...    -  By the way, the "Kingdom of God" here means THE COVENANT & RELIGION OF GOD on earth to the new nation.    -  John 1:19-21 John was asked if he were the Messiah, Elijah, and then "The Prophet": John 1:21. -  John 7:40-44, Jesus was supposed to come from David's line, while the Prophet was NOT.  He was a foreigner.       -  Here are two captured images of John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44.  Click on the images to expand:            Click to expand.    So the awaited Messiah and the awaited "the Prophet" were clearly TWO DIFFERENT PERSONS, who are strangers to each others, and are not from the same bloodline.       1-  The expected Christ and the expected Prophet: Again, in John 1:19-21 John was asked if he were the Messiah, Elijah, and then "The Prophet": John 1:21.  In John 7:40-44, Jesus was supposed to come from David's line, while the Prophet was NOT.  He was a foreigner.  So the awaited Messiah and the awaited "the Prophet" were clearly TWO DIFFERENT PERSONS, who are strangers to each others, and are not from the same bloodline. Let us look at the text of verses of John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44 in details to see the two different persons to come: the Messiah (Christ) and the Prophet:    John 1:19-21 John the Baptist Tells People About Jesus 19 Here is the ·truth John told [testimony John gave; witness of John; 1:6] when the ·leaders [Jewish leadership; L Jews; C John often uses the term “Jews” to refer to the religious leaders in opposition to Jesus, rather than to the Jewish people generally] in Jerusalem sent ·priests and Levites [C the religious authorities; priests oversaw temple worship; Levites were members of the tribe of Levi who assisted them; 1 Chr. 23:24–32] to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 John ·spoke freely [confessed] and did not ·refuse to answer [deny it]. He said, “I am not the ·Christ [Messiah].” 21 So they asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” [C Elijah, an OT prophet, was expected to come back before the Messiah; 1 Kin. 17—2 Kin. 2; Mal. 4:5–6.] He answered, “No, I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” [C the Prophet like Moses predicted in Deut. 18:15–19] they asked. He answered, “No.”    John 7:40-44 The People Argue About Jesus 40 When the people heard Jesus’ words, some of them said, “This man really is the Prophet [1:21; C the “prophet like Moses” of Deut. 18:15–18].” 41 Others said, “He is the ·Christ [Messiah].” Still others said, “The ·Christ [Messiah] will not come from Galilee. 42 The Scripture says that the ·Christ [Messiah] will come from David’s ·family [offspring; L seed; 2 Sam. 7:12–16; Ps. 89:3–4; Is. 9:7; 55:3] and from Bethlehem, the ·town [village] where David lived [Mic. 5:2].” 43 So ·the people did not agree with each other [L there was a division in the crowd] about Jesus. 44 Some of them wanted to ·arrest [seize] him, but no one was able to ·touch [L lay a hand on] him. Again, here are two captured images of John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44.  Click on the images to expand:            Click to expand. For a thorough proof that Islam is the Divine Truth, and trinity is a man-made falsehood, please visit: What is the best way to convert a non-Muslim to Islam? This website's main sections.    Does the NT refute the Prophethood of Muhammad?  A closer look at: Matthew 21:11, Mark 6:15, John 9:17, John 6:14, John 1:19-21, John 7:40-44, Acts 7.    2-  Jesus will return as an Arab, not as an Israeli (or Israelite): Did you know that the Bible declares in Matthew 24:25-27 that Jesus will return as an Arab?    Matthew 24:25-27 25 See, I have told you ahead of time. 26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.    The Bible, throughout its books, has thoroughly defined the "East" to be the Arabs: [1] [2] [3].    Not only that, but the Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls also predicted the coming of Prophet Ahmed from the east.  Ahmed is Prophet Muhammad's prophetic name.    Prophet Muhammad said that Jesus Christ will return from Damascus.    So why won't Jesus Christ return as a Jew from Israel?  See the Islamic Prophecies about the ONE-EYED dajjal (anti-Christ).       The Prophet who will bring the "Message of Peace" to mankind.  Islam means being at Peace with GOD Almighty and Submitting in Peace to Him, the Almighty. The Prophet who is the "Light of the Gentiles". "Let the WORLD have a new heart (fresh start)!" The House of GOD will be "built in the desert" (the Kaaba in Mecca). The path of the desert will be called "the Path of Holiness". And the Prophet will lead 10,000 Saints to liberate it. Perfectly fulfilled in Islam! After John the Baptist, two were expected to come: (1) The Prophet, and (2) the Messiah. Also, Prophet Muhammad's Name, "Ahmed", was also found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it was mentioned precisely in the Glorious Quran for the Prophet to be foretold by this very Name, Ahmed. [1] [2]    3-  Jesus will return as an Arab, not as an Israeli (or Israelite): Did you know that the Bible declares in Matthew 24:25-27 that Jesus will return as an Arab, not a Jew?    Matthew 24:25-27 25 See, I have told you ahead of time. 26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.    The Bible, throughout its books, has thoroughly defined the "East" to be the Arabs: [1] [2] [3].    Not only that, but as we've seen above, the Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls also predicted the coming of Prophet Ahmed from the east.  Ahmed is Prophet Muhammad's prophetic name, as we've seen above.    So why won't Jesus Christ return as a Jew from Israel?  See the Islamic Prophecies about the ONE-EYED dajjal (anti-Christ)    4-  Why Islam? [1] [2] [3] [4] 1-  Islam came to restore the Original Faith; the One Divine Religion of GOD Almighty to Mankind, which started with Adam and ended with Muhammad, peace, mercy and blessings be upon all of the Prophets and Messengers of GOD Almighty. 2-  Did you know that Islam and Muslims exist in the Bible's Scriptures and outside the Bible's Scriptures 100s of times? [1] [2] [3] [4] In the Bible, Muslims, Salamays, Mushlams, Mushlems, Mushlimana are the Believers' original title in the Hebrew & Aramaic Bible's Scriptures.    Also the Bible's Shlam, Shlama (in Aramaic, the "a" at the end is the definite article that is equivalent to the alif and lam "al"), Mashloome, Mushlimana, Mishalmana, Mishlam, and also Witness in Arabic and Aramaic, and Prostration in Arabic and Aramaic are thoroughly discussed in the following text articles: [1] [2] [3] [4].  Also the Hebrew Shelem (Selem), which is derived from the root Shalam, is the same as the Glorious Quran's SELM سلم.  Hebrews pronounce the "s" as "sh", and the "a" as an "o".  So "shalom" is really Salam (peace in Arabic).  Also the Hebrew Salam (Shalom) is the name of Islam in the Glorious Quran (سبل السلام).  Scroll below for more from the Glorious Quran. Also, the following videos give some very important explanations about Islam being the original Religion of GOD Almighty:              (Click on the images for videos)       Islam is GOD Almighty's Original Religion to all of mankind and all creations:    Islam is called "Islam", "Selm", and "Salam" in the Glorious Quran:    "The Religion before God is Islam (الاسلام submission to His Will)...." (The Noble Quran, 3:19).    "O ye who believe! Enter into Islam (في السلم into the Selm (another name for Islam)) whole-heartedly; and follow not the footsteps of the evil one; for he is to you an avowed enemy." (The Noble Quran, 2:208).    "Wherewith God guideth all who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace and safety (سبل السلام Islam here is called the way of peace and safety), and leadeth them out of darkness, by His will, unto the light,- guideth them to a path that is straight." (The Noble Quran, 5:16). "But God doth call to the Home of Peace (دار السلام Islam here is called the House of Peace): He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a way that is straight." (The Noble Quran, 10:25).    Islam is GOD Almighty's Religion to all of His creations.  It means submitting yourself to Allah Almighty, and to be at Peace with Allah Almighty.    For ample more Noble Verses and proofs, please visit:    What is the Wisdom of Islam?  And how will Allah Almighty Judge both Muslims and non-Muslims?    What is the best way to convert a non-Muslim to Islam?    The Blessed Jesus peace be upon him and Place of Jews and Christians in Islam.       Islam's Practices are 100% supported in the Bible:     Circumambulation (tawaaf) 7 times around the Kaaba is also by the exact number in the Bible. Prostrating to GOD Almighty in the direction of His Holy Temple was done by all of the Prophets, including Jesus. Also, the Bible's fasting is to not eat and drink, like Islam:    Luke5:33 They said to him, "John's disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking."    Matthew 6:16 "When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."          Also "Shalom" or Shalam, which means "Peace" in Hebrew, implies "GOD's Peace be upon you" is also derived from the root Word, Islam.  GOD Almighty's Eternal Peace and us submitting to Him and to His Divine Will in Peace, is also what His Divine Religion is.  Islam is the Original Faith.    Hebrews used to pronounce the "s" as "sh".  They also pronounced the "a" as a thick "a".  So Shalom is really Salam, which means "Peace" in Arabic, and implies GOD Almighty's Peace in Islam.    Jews and Christians are much closer to Original Islam than the others [1] [2] [3].  This is one of the reasons why they're also called "People of the Book".  But they're expected to follow the Original Islam, and to know that the One Faith of GOD Almighty is Islam:    "Say: 'O People of the Book (i.e., Jews and Christians)!   Come to common terms as between us and you:  That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.'  If then they turn back, say ye: 'Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will).'  (The Noble Quran, 3:64)"    So for a Jew and Christian, it should be much easier to convert to Islam, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).  And of course, Islam was sent for all of mankind, and thus, we should all work on spreading Islam to mankind, in peace, wisdom, love and harmony:    "Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.  (The Noble Quran, 16:125)" For ample more Noble Verses, please visit: What is the Wisdom of Islam?    What is the place of Jesus, Christians, Jews and non-Muslims in Islam?    3-  Did you know that Elohim is Allah [1] [2].  The "im" in Hebrew is a majestic plural for GOD Almighty.  The root Word is "Eloh".  And the more original Jews such as Yemenites and others say Alohim or Alah-im.  And when you yourself pronounce it, you do naturally pronounce it with a double "l": Allah.  Jews do call Him: Allah-im.  Aramaic-speaking people also call GOD Almighty Allah.  See the following videos for Biblical references and proofs.  Also, pre-Islamic Biblical archeological findings have GOD Almighty as "Allah".  So the Original Holy Name for GOD Almighty is not Eloh.  It is Allah!  Eloh is a Hebrew dialect, which not all Hebrew speakers use anyway.  Allah had always been the Original and Universal GOD Almighty even before birth of Judaism, and the existence Hebrew.  And Hebrew is a developed language from Phoenician.  See the following links:                    (Click to play videos)        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_alphabet        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Hebrew    5-  The "Light of the Gentiles" Prophet: Also on the title of the Arabian Prophet being the "Light of the Gentiles", we see that this title was given to him numerous times in both the Bible's Scriptures and the Dead Sea Scrolls.  And this shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone, since truly the Gentiles of the Old Scriptures are the Muslims after Islam came to restore GOD Almighty's Original Faith.  So the Light that the Gentiles were going to receive was Islam; GOD Almighty's One and Original and Final and True Faith to all of mankind. The following image will shed more Truth on who the real Gentiles are, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).  They are all in the Muslim lands today, and they are the Muslims:    (Click to enlarge) Also, Christians in the Glorious Quran:  The Christians are the least disliked by GOD Almighty from among the disbelievers: Noble Verse 3:55.  Out of all disbelievers, Muslims will find the Christians to be full of love and mercy: 5:82.     فوق in 3:55, below in the article, means to put them above, or to make them better in status.    Allah Almighty in Noble Verse 30:1-5 promised to make the Romans be victorious, because they were Christians.  But they still believe in conjecture: 4:157, 53:28, and they are among the misguided and those who went astray 1:7.  They're also crooked in their beliefs: 3:99, 7:45.    Many of the Christians doubt trinity; a word that doesn't exist in the Bible!  Those Christians are closest to Islam, as long as they don't speak ill of Islam.  The same with the Jews who don't speak ill of the Prophets that came after such as Jesus and Muhammad: 3:113-114.

(see point #5 below)  How does the Bible really define it? 2-  What does "Son of GOD" really mean in the Bible?  3-  Jesus had to at least match Melchizedek in Miracles and  Power.  See this text-debate between me and a Christian brother. 4-  Does the Bible say that Yahweh created Jesus?  Yes it does.  John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God was with authority (same Greek word for satan's rule [2] [3])."    Detailed discussion about Jesus' Will with ample verses.    In Islam, there are three "Worlds" or Realms: (a)-  GOD Almighty, who is not seen by anyone or anything, nor is like unto anyone or anything. (b)-  The World of Command, which is the invisible world of the Beings that were made by the Word and the Spirit. (c)-  The World of Creation, the flush and blood, dust and water physical world and Universes (plural). Also visit: Is the Noble Quran a Creator or Creation?       "Father" and "Son" in Islam and the Bible: 5-  Is Islam the anti-Christ system according to 1john 2:22?  No it isn't.  Here are some Bible facts regarding "FATHER" and "SON": (a)-  Allah Almighty is the Believers' only Guardian (المولى): See Noble Verses 8:40, 22:13, 22:78.  In Arabic we say , which means "The Legal Guardian".  المولى is derived from the root word ولي  .ولي also means a chosen friend to Allah Almighty, as in the following point.    (b)-  FRIENDS = SONS in the Bible and Quran (وليهما , ولي and خليلا): We further read the following in the Bible: Isaiah 41:8 "But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend, Chronicles 20:7 Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend? James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend. So being GOD Almighty's "SON" in the Bible is equal to being GOD Almighty's "FRIEND".  Now compare this to the following from the Holy Quran: [002:257] Allah is the friend (ولي) and patron of those who believe. He brings them out of the depths of darkness into light. While those who do not believe, have the forces of evil as their friends; they lead them out of light, into the very depths of darkness. Such ones shall be the inmates of the fire. They will stay there forever. [003:122] (And remember) when the two groups among you lost heart (and almost fell out), even though Allah was their Friend and Protector (وليهما)? In Allah (alone), should the believers place their trust! [004:125] Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend (خليلا). So the Bible's "FATHER" & "SON" for GOD Almighty and the Believers is clearly metaphoric, and it only means that GOD Almighty: 1-  Is the Protector. 2-  Is the Friend. 3-  Is the Guardian. Please visit the following link to further see what Words the Glorious Quran uses for these words and definitions: http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,1368.msg5203.html#msg5203    (c)-  BEGET = CHOSE: Regarding the following verse, and many others like it: King James Bible Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Let us look at Noble Verses 27:59, 3:33, 3:42, 7:144, 22:75, 35:32, 38:47, 39:4 from the Glorious Quran: [027:059] Say: Praise be to God, and Peace on his servants whom He has chosen اصطفى (for his Message). (Who) is better?- God or the false gods they associate (with Him)? ‏27:59 قل الحمد لله وسلام على عباده الذين اصطفى ءالله خير اما يشركون [003:033] God did choose اصطفى Adam and Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of 'Imran above all people,- ‏3:33 ان الله اصطفى ادم ونوحا وال ابراهيم وال عمران على العالمين [003:042] Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God hath chosen thee اصطفاك and purified thee- chosen thee above the women of all nations. ‏3:42 واذ قالت الملائكة يامريم ان الله اصطفاك وطهرك واصطفاك على نساء العالمين [007:144] (God) said: "O Moses! I have chosen thee اصطفيتك above (other) men, by the mission I (have given thee) and the words I (have spoken to thee): take then the (revelation) which I give thee, and be of those who give thanks." ‏7:144 قال ياموسى اني اصطفيتك على الناس برسالاتي وبكلامي فخذ ما اتيتك وكن من الشاكرين [022:075] God chooses يصطفي messengers from angels and from men for God is He Who hears and sees (all things). ‏22:75 الله يصطفي من الملائكة رسلا ومن الناس ان الله سميع بصير [035:032] Then We have given the Book for inheritance to such of Our Servants as We have chosen اصطفينا: but there are among them some who wrong their own souls; some who follow a middle course; and some who are, by God's leave, foremost in good deeds; that is the highest Grace. ‏35:32 ثم اورثنا الكتاب الذين اصطفينا من عبادنا فمنهم ظالم لنفسه ومنهم مقتصد ومنهم سابق بالخيرات باذن الله ذلك هو الفضل الكبير [038:047] They were, in Our sight, truly, of the company of the Elect المصطفين and the Good. ‏38:47 وانهم عندنا لمن المصطفين الاخيار [039:004] Had God wished to take to Himself an (actual) son, He could have chosen لاصطفى whom He pleased out of those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is God, the One, the Irresistible. ‏39:4 لو اراد الله ان يتخذ ولدا لاصطفى مما يخلق مايشاء سبحانه هو الله الواحد القهار Furthermore, when Jesus was asked about when the Hour will come, he replied by saying that only GOD Almighty Knows, and that no one knows, and that Jesus himself also didn't know.  Please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/questions.htm http://www.answering-christianity.com/ac7.htm#links Jesus spelled it out clearly that he knew NOT.  And as to calling GOD Almighty "Father", and that Islam denies that GOD Almighty is an ACTUAL FATHER to anyone, in Islam GOD Almighty is called: 1-  Rab - Lord, Father (you are the Rab of your home for being the husband and the father). 2-  Wali - Guardian. In the old Aramaic and Hebrew, GOD Almighty was called what-is-equivalent-to-Islam our Rab and Wali.  But that doesn't make GOD Almighty our actual Father.  This is exactly as Judaism metaphors such as idolatry is equivalent to spiritual adultery.  No Jew is actually married to GOD Almighty to actually commit a personal marriage-adultery against GOD Almighty!  Yet, the Jews use metaphors like these.  Islam came to straighten all of this out and to set the record straight that GOD Almighty has no son and no daughter.  Otherwise, why would GOD Almighty torture us to Hell if we were His perfect sons and daughters??  No imperfect being could be an actual son of GOD Almighty (and no being is the son or daughter of GOD Almighty, period!): [005:018] (Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of God, and his beloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- of the men he hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and to God belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)" Again, please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,1368.msg5203.html#msg5203.    6-  Did you know that Elohim is Allah [1] [2].  The "im" in Hebrew is a majestic plural for GOD Almighty.  The root Word is "Eloh".  And the more original Jews such as Yemenites and others say Alohim or Alah-im.  And when you yourself pronounce it, you do naturally pronounce it with a double "l": Allah.  Jews do call Him: Allah-im.  Aramaic-speaking people also call GOD Almighty Allah.  See the following videos for Biblical references and proofs.  Also, pre-Islamic Biblical archeological findings have GOD Almighty as "Allah".  So the Original Holy Name for GOD Almighty is not Eloh.  It is Allah!  Eloh is a Hebrew dialect, which not all Hebrew speakers use anyway.  Allah had always been the Original and Universal GOD Almighty even before birth of Judaism, and the existence Hebrew.  And Hebrew is a developed language from Phoenician.  See the following links:                    (Click to play videos)        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_alphabet        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_Hebrew       6-  The Quran's Overwhelming Scientific Miracles! There are many STUNNING Scientific Miracles in the Glorious Quran that testify to the Divinity of the Glorious Quran.  The following are small examples from many tens (10s) of Miracles: 1-  Did you know that the Glorious Quran declares that the earth is: Spherical. Suspended in Space. Traveling in Space. Revolves around itself, or its own axle?    Also, all celestial bodies are يعرجون Yaa'rujoon (traveling in orbits) in space.  This video is about Noble Verses 32:5, 34:2, 57:4, 70:3-4 and others, and the Arabic words عرج , عروج , معارج   and  معراج  that all refer to "going in an orbital and curvy path" in the Glorious Quran and our Islamic Texts. 2-  Did you know that the Glorious Quran has 1000s (thousands) of Numerical Notions that have yet to be fully made clear to us?  For example, here is just one Numerical Miracle from among hundreds that were already discovered: The Glorious Quran has 114 Chapters. The sum of those Chapters is 6555 (1+2+...+114 = 6555). There are also 6236 Noble Verses in the Glorious Quran. Now, IF YOU ADD EACH CHAPTER # with the number of its Verses, then you get a list of numbers. So 1 (first Chapter) + 7 (# of its Verses) = 8. Do this for all Chapters.     1-  The sum of the odd numbers from the list = 6555.  2-  The sum of the even numbers from the list = 6236.    See the XLS file for 100% confirmation.    Dr. Zaghloul Al-najjar has proven the Speed of Light in the Glorious Quran: Time and the Speed of Light precisely calculated and mentioned in the Noble Quran.    Speed of Light detailed article.    The Great Miracle, Part 2, Episode 10, by the Engineer Mr. Adnan Al Refaei [1] المهندس عدنان الرفاعي Translated to English by Osama Abdallah (me).  Allah Almighty Said that the Number 19 Sign is "One of the Greatest Miracles" (74:35) in the Noble Quran [1] [2]. This Miracle is thoroughly examined throughout this 30-Episode TV Program.  I am going to have it all translated into English in both Audio and Video, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).  I will also translate the 653-page book that gave 100s of examples from the Glorious Quran's Numerical Miracles:       Episodes of Program in Video: [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]... Episodes of Program in Audio: [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]...       Note:  A brief QA session. (This is not a deviant pro Rashad Khalifa website!  The Miracle is based on 100% of the Glorious Quran.)    The Great Miracle of Number 19 is thoroughly demonstrated: All Praise and Thanks and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone.  First of all, Allah Almighty said in the Holy Quran that the Number 19 Miracle is "One of the Mighty Ones" (74:30-37).  Click this article for the text and details of the Noble Verses.  The following points will clearly explain and demonstrate this Divine Miracle: 1-  Allah Almighty has designed the Holy Quran's Text to be written in a certain complex form, and with great consistency throughout the Holy Quran's 114 Chapters, which are made of 6236 Noble Verses.  The following table shows each Noble Quran Letter's numerical value: http://www.answering-christianity.com/main_table.png This is a more detailed table than the one that the Engineer Mr. Adnan Al Refaei [1] المهندس عدنان الرفاعي gave in his book on page 140, which is page 136 in the PDF file (If you see gibberish, then install these required fonts & instruction.  My Sony Vaio laptop didn't require them.  My other older computers did.  The fonts on my Sony Vaio also seem a bit better than these ones.  So please only install them if you see gibberish). 2-  The determination of what constitutes a "written letter" (also known as a "drawn letter") from the Holy Quran, which is all specified in the table in the link above, was made from Noble Chapter 71.  The Chapter is called Surat Nuh.  Nuh is Prophet Noah, peace be upon him.  Allah Almighty used this Noble Surah to clearly and indisputably determine what is a drawn letter from a vowel in the Holy Quran.  Only the written letters have numerical values.  Vowels don't have numerical values. Furthermore, Allah Almighty Said in this Noble Surah that Prophet Nuh (Noah) lived for 950 years among his people.  Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah is exactly written in 950 Letters!  You can see this in the scanned images that I produced with my own hand-written verification for each Noble Letter: http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0053.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0054.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0055.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0056.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0057.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0058.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0059.jpg 3-  Also, Allah Almighty used other sets of Noble Verses to determine the Numerical values (see the main table) of each Drawn Letter in the Holy Quran.  This is can be clearly seen in the following examples: Prophet Nuh's story with his people in Noble Verses 11:25:49.  These Noble Verses are in Surat Hud, which is Chapter 11 in the Holy Quran: http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0268.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0269.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0270.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0271.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0272.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0273.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0274.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0275.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0276.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0277.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0278.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0279.jpg The NOORANIYYAH Letters, or the Noorani Letters of the Holy Quran.  These are the opening Letters of several of the Noble Surahs (Chapters) that have hidden Divine meanings in them.  All Praise and Glory and Thanks are due to Allah Almighty Alone!  Now adding all of them together, using the main table's values, gave us a total that is a multiple of the number 19 without any remainder.  Not only that, but their total number is 361, which is equal to 19 X 19: http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0138.jpg Adding all of the numerical values of the Prophets' and Messengers' names that were mentioned in the Holy Quran also all add up to a number that is a multiple of the number 19 without any remainder: http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0236.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0237.jpg There are many other examples that Mr. Adnan Al Refaei [1] المهندس عدنان الرفاعي gave in his book (Again, if you see gibberish, then install these required fonts & instruction.  My Sony Vaio laptop didn't require them.  My other older computers did.  The fonts on my Sony Vaio also seem a bit better than these ones.  So please only install them if you see gibberish). Furthermore, the set of Noble Verses 74:30-37 themselves, which are the heart of the Miracle, have a stunning Miracle in them.  The value of these Noble Verses matches the multiplication of the BASMALA's (the key to the Holy Quran) number of letters (19 Letters) and their total numerical values (115): 19 X 115 = 2185: The following links are the original images from the PDF book of Noble Verses 74:30-37 and the Basmala.  Also, the link to the PDF book is in the following as well: http://www.answering-christianity.com/page_144_surah_74_verses_30-37_original.png http://www.answering-christianity.com/page_144_basmala_is_quran_key.png http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book_scans.zip The following images are my calculation, and they end up with 2184, which equal to 18.99 X 115: http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0132.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0133.jpg http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book/Scan0134.jpg And the following images are my calculation using Mr. Adnan's way of counting vowel-variables as needed, depending on the Noble Verses.  I got 2185, which is equal to 19 X 2185: http://www.answering-christianity.com/page_144_surah_74_verses_30-37_page_1.png http://www.answering-christianity.com/page_144_surah_74_verses_30-37_page_2.png http://www.answering-christianity.com/page_144_surah_74_verses_30-37_page_3.png The Holy Quran Law that Mr. Adnan Al Refaei [1] المهندس عدنان الرفاعي discovered is as follows: (a)-  The Noble Verses and Statements of the Holy Quran that are correlating to each others, and are ones that collectively make up an entire case, - a full picture, - will have a total numerical value that is divisible by the number 19 without any remainder.  Now with my new modification, the division would allow for a remainder that is a fraction of 1% of the total sum.  And if we use the vowel-variables rule that Mr. Adnan used (see point #6 below), then we would have no remainder at all in all cases. (b)-  You can also watch The Great Miracle, Part 2, Episode 10, by the Engineer Mr. Adnan Al Refaei [1] المهندس عدنان الرفاعي Translated to English by Osama Abdallah (me). Episodes of Program in Video: [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]... Episodes of Program in Audio: [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]... Allah Almighty Said that the Number 19 Sign is "One of the Greatest Miracles" (74:35) in the Noble Quran. This Miracle is thoroughly examined throughout this TV Program. You can download this video, and all of the videos that are available on my website at: http://www.answering-christianity.com/free_downloads.htm. 4-  To clearly and thoroughly see the Number 19 Divine Miracle of the Holy Quran, you can see the 279 images that I have scanned and processed from Mr. Adnan Al Refaei [1] المهندس عدنان الرفاعي book, which is 653 pages long at: http://www.answering-christianity.com/the_great_miracle_book_scans.zip I only processed 1/3 of the book so far.  But the examples that I provided give thorough demonstration and ample examples that demonstrate this Great Divine Miracle from the Glorious Quran. 5-  Furthermore, Allah Almighty Promised and took it upon Himself to Perfectly Preserve the Holy Quran in both: (a)-  Text documentation and compilation. (b)-  Reading and Noble Words and Letters pronunciations. This is because the Holy Quran that we have here on earth is a copy of the One that is in the "Preserved Divine Tablet".  To see the ample Noble Verses that clearly prove this, please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/quran.htm 6-  In the images, you'll notice that on rare occasions some of the divisions are by numbers such as "19.0013..." or "18.99" and not a perfect "19".  While you'll notice that while Mr. Adnan's numbers are perfect multiples of the number 19 without any remainder, you'll see that my MODIFIED or CORRECTED ones are slightly off from his.  This is because Mr. Adnan chose to use the ALIF and HAMZA vowels as variables, because they are variable vowels where they sometimes equal to 0 and sometimes equal to 1 depending on the Noble Verses that they're in.  Me on the other hand, chose to not count them at all, because they're not Drawn Letters.  But according to Mr. Adnan, these variable vowels are there for Divine purpose from Allah Almighty.  I chose the other approach to still prove the Holy Quran's Divine Miracle from even the future doubters' and critics' worst possible scenarios.  Even using this approach, the Divine Miracle still remained consistent 100% of the time.  But in anyway, both approaches are valid, and both divide by 19.0, anyway, whether is it by a perfect 19, which is most of the times, or by the rare occasions of 19.00.... or 18.99.....  So the Miracle is still 100% there. Also, when Allah Almighty set the number 19 as a Law for the Universe and the Holy Quran, He the Almighty, didn't necessarily intended it to be always a perfect 19.  Take a look at this video for example about the Universe's function and its relation with the number 19: Spherical Geometry, the number 19 Miracle, the Inner-Nature of the Planets' System, and the Universe's function.  The Glorious Quran Says that Number 19 is لاحدى الكبر "One of the Great Ones (i.e., Miracles)". And last and not least, indeed, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone for making the Noble Quran be the Perfect and Everlasting Miracle, for us humans, out of all of His Divine Miracles!  And may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our Beloved and Blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad.  Ameen.    3-  Please also checkout the many tens (10s) of other Great Miracles that deal with:      1-  Embryology.      2-  Biology.      3-  Astronomy.      4-  Geology.      5-  Mathematics      6-  Archeology.      7-  Prophecies. Indeed, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty alone for making the Noble Quran be the Perfect and Everlasting Miracle, for us humans, out of all of His Divine Miracles!  And may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy and Blessings upon our Beloved and Blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model, Muhammad.  Ameen.

What parts of the Bible and Hadiths do Muslims believe are closest to the Truth, and Why? [1] [2]

Note to Muslims:

As Muslims, we must be very careful when we comment on the previous Scriptures, because there is always a possibility that there might be Divine Revelations parts in the verses that we might be objecting to.  I know that the many of the disbelievers constantly insult and mock Islam all the time, and even lie on their own Scriptures with their "End of Times Prophecies" lies, -where they hijacked even the Bible with their bigotry, hate and lies, - but still dear brothers and sisters in Islam, we must always be very careful when we deal with previous Scriptures, because as Muslims we do believe that they do contain remnants of Divine Revelations in them.  May Allah Almighty forgive me, and forgive all sincere Muslims, for any and all mistakes and errors that we may have fell into.  Ameen.

See also:  The Islamic Prophecies section.       Zionist Israel will rule the earth with Mighty Evil!  (Islamic Prophecy) The Glorious Quran declared 1,400 years ago that the Israeli Zionist machine will rule the entire earth with mighty evil and power.  They will reach "Mighty Heights" علوا كبيرا   of evil power and might on earth.  See Noble Verses 17:4-8: http://www.answering-christianity.com/nuclear_doom_prophecy.htm http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,1515.msg5943.html#msg5943 http://www.answering-christianity.com/blog/index.php/topic,1515.msg5950.html#msg5950 http://www.answering-christianity.com/ac3.htm#prophecies http://www.answering-christianity.com/convert_christians.htm    Also, Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, made a stunning prophecy about the one-eyed anti-Christ who will rule the infidels and the world: Narrated Ibn Umar: "Once Allah's Apostle stood amongst the people, glorified and praised Allah as He deserved and then mentioned the Dajjal (anti-Christ) saying, "l warn you against him (i.e. the Dajjal) and there was no prophet but warned his nation against him. No doubt, Noah warned his nation against him but I tell you about him something of which no prophet told his nation before me. You should know that he is one-eyed, and Allah is not one-eyed."  (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 553)" Prophet Muhammad had many visions about the dajjal, and gave many signs about him.  Some of the things the Prophet said about the dajjal were literal, and some were vision-metaphors.  The most prominent one is that he will be one-eyed.  This is both literal and metaphoric.  It is literal today because the zionist anti-Christ system is indeed represented by the ONE-EYE symbol as seen in the following images.  The metaphors here are Allah Almighty not being ONE-EYED, because nothing can describe Allah Almighty.  There is "none like unto Him" (Quran, 12:4).  For ample more details and proofs, please visit link below. Was the Islamic ONE-EYE Prophecy foretold before Islam in the Bible's Zechariah 11:17?  I demonstrated using ample Biblical verses that the ONE-EYED DAJJAL (anti-Christ) was never prophesied in the Bible to be ONE-EYED, nor was this Sign ever given in the Bible to any being. I also showed how Jesus Christ, from among many other verses, used this "right eye" expression.  So it was never a Sign about the dajjal before Islam.  It was no more than a general language of the Bible.    The Bible in many verses uses "right hand" and "right eye" expressions for people and for GOD Almighty.    None of these are Signs to anything. For ample Noble Verses and Hadiths (Sayings of the Prophet), and proofs, please visit: The ONE-EYED Dajjal's Signs and Powers according to Islam.    Also visit: 9/11 was 100% an Israeli Mossad Operation! Many references of this Hadith (Saying) exist throughout our Islamic Texts.  This is one of the most popular Hadiths and Prophecies of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.  And indeed, we are seeing it come to pass before our very eyes.  Please also visit: The hijacked Bible.    Listen also to Jeremiah 18:1-10!    The 666 symbol is actually referring to today's neo-con Christianity and Zionism!  See the clear-cut proofs and images here.    Also see the sub-section: The Israeli 666 symbol.    Does the Bible predict the dividing of Israel?  Who are the nations that divided Israel?  And what will be their punishment?    The ONE-EYED Dajjal's Signs and Powers according to Islam.    Was the Islamic ONE-EYE Prophecy foretold before Islam in the Bible's Zechariah 11:17?

The Gospel Christ:

So, what was the Gospel of Jesus Christ then, i.e., the Injil of Jesus Christ?  Even among Christians, this remains a mystery.  But the Didache; a Gospel which existed even before the current Bible-Gospels (or canonized Gospels), contains a great deal of teachings of Jesus Christ.  The following points are important to always keep in mind: (1)- No single Scripture, the Didache or any other Scripture, is 100% pure and accurate.  There are always forgeries and alterations.  This is the same with every single book and gospel. (2)- The Original Teachings of Christ exist in Scriptures that are in the Bible and outside the Bible.
