Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, claimed that the stone was sent down by
Allah Almighty to Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon
both of them, to give the precise location of where the Kaaba was to
be built by them. We believe that Prophets Abraham and
Ishmael built
the
Kaaba. Western
Scientists
have confirmed that the black stone,
which resides near the
Kaaba in the Holy City of Mecca,
is
an outside METEORITE OBJECT!
**** Prophet Muhammad forbade us from worshiping any stone!
****
The black
stone and the Kaaba are not objects of worship in Islam!

The detailed story of how the Kaaba was built by
Abraham and his son Ishmael peace be upon them:
The sections of this article are:
1- The detailed story of how the Kaaba was built by Abraham
and his son Ishmael, peace be upon them. 2- Verses from the Noble Quran and the Bible that compliment the story.
Narrated Ibn Abbas: "When the Prophet saw pictures in the
Ka'ba, he did not enter it till he ordered them to be erased. When he saw the pictures of Abraham
and Ishmael carrying the arrows of divination, he said, "May Allah curse
them (i.e. the Quraish)! By Allah, neither Abraham nor Ishmael practiced divination by
arrows." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Prophets,
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 571)"
Narrated Ibn Abbas: "The first lady to use a girdle
was the mother of Ishmael. She used a girdle so that she might hide her tracks from Sarah.
Abraham brought her and her son Ishmael while she was suckling him, to a place near the
Ka'ba under a tree on the spot of Zam-zam, at the highest
place in the mosque. During those days there was nobody in Mecca, nor was there any water
So he made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates,
and a small water-skin containing some water, and set out homeward. Ishmael's mother
followed him saying, "O Abraham! Where are you going, leaving us in this
valley where there is no person whose company we may enjoy, nor is there anything (to
enjoy)?" She repeated that to him many times, but he did not look back at
her Then she asked him, "Has Allah ordered you to do so?" He said,
"Yes." She said, "Then He will not neglect us," and returned while
Abraham proceeded onwards, and on reaching the Thaniya where they could not see him, he
faced the Ka'ba, and raising both hands, invoked Allah saying the following prayers:
'O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring dwell in a valley
without cultivation, by Your Sacred House (Kaba at Mecca) in order, O our Lord, that they
may offer prayer perfectly. So fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O
Allah) provide them with fruits, so that they may give thanks.' (14.37)
Ishmael's mother went on suckling Ishmael and drinking from the water (she had).
When the water in the water-skin had all been used up, she became
thirsty and her child also became thirsty. She started looking at him (i.e. Ishmael)
tossing in agony; She left him, for she could not endure looking at him, and found that
the mountain of Safa was the nearest mountain to her on that land. She stood on it and
started looking at the valley keenly so that she might see somebody, but she could not see
anybody. Then she descended from Safa and when she reached the valley, she tucked up her
robe and ran in the valley like a person in distress and trouble, till she crossed the
valley and reached the Marwa mountain where she stood and started looking, expecting to
see somebody, but she could not see anybody. She repeated that (running between
Safa and Marwa) seven times."
The Prophet said, "This is the source of the tradition of
the walking of people between them (i.e. Safa and Marwa). When she reached the Marwa (for
the last time) she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and listened
attentively. She heard the voice again and said, 'O, (whoever you may be)! You have made
me hear your voice; have you got something to help me?" And behold! She saw an angel
at the place of Zam-zam, digging the earth with
his heel (or his wing), till water flowed from that place. She started to make something
like a basin around it, using her hand in this way, and started filling her water-skin
with water with her hands, and the water was flowing out after she had scooped some of
it."
The Prophet added, "May Allah bestow Mercy on Ishmael's
mother! Had she let the Zam-zam (flow without trying to
control it) (or had she not scooped from that water) (to fill her water-skin), Zam-zam
would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth." The Prophet further
added, "Then she drank (water) and suckled her child. The angel said to her,
'Don't be afraid of being neglected, for this is the House of Allah which will be built by
this boy and his father, and Allah never neglects His people.' The House (i.e.
Kaba) at that time was on a high place resembling a hillock, and when torrents came, they
flowed to its right and left. She lived in that way till some people from the tribe of
Jurhum or a family from Jurhum passed by her and her child, as they (i.e. the Jurhum
people) were coming through the way of Kada'. They landed in the lower part of Mecca where
they saw a bird that had the habit of flying around water and not leaving it. They said,
'This bird must be flying around water, though we know that there is no water in this
valley.' They sent one or two messengers who discovered the source of water, and returned
to inform them of the water. So, they all came (towards the water)." The Prophet
added, "Ishmael's mother was sitting near the water. They asked her, 'Do you allow us
to stay with you?" She replied, 'Yes, but you will have no right to possess the
water.' They agreed to that." The Prophet further said, "Ishmael's mother was
pleased with the whole situation as she used to love to enjoy the company of the people. So,
they settled there, and later on they sent for their families who came and settled with
them so that some families became permanent residents there. The child (i.e.
Ishmael) grew up and learnt Arabic from them and (his virtues) caused them to love and
admire him as he grew up, and when he reached the age of puberty they made him marry a
woman from amongst them.
After Ishmael's mother had died, Abraham came after Ishmael's
marriage in order to see his family that he had left before, but he did not find Ishmael
there. When he asked Ishmael's wife about him, she replied, 'He has gone in search of our
livelihood.' Then he asked her about their way of living and their condition, and she
replied, 'We are living in misery; we are living in hardship and destitution,' complaining
to him. He said, 'When your husband returns, convey my salutation to him and tell him to
change the threshold of the gate (of his house).' When Ishmael came, he seemed to have
felt something unusual, so he asked his wife, 'Has anyone visited you?' She replied, 'Yes,
an old man of so-and-so description came and asked me about you and I informed him, and he
asked about our state of living, and I told him that we were living in a hardship and
poverty.' On that Ishmael said, 'Did he advise you anything?' She replied, 'Yes, he told
me to convey his salutation to you and to tell you to change the threshold of your gate.'
Ishmael said, 'It was my father, and he has ordered me to divorce you. Go back
to your family.' So, Ishmael divorced her and married another woman from amongst them
(i.e. Jurhum).
Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah
wished and called on them again but did not find Ishmael. So he came to Ishmael's wife and
asked her about Ishmael. She said, 'He has gone in search of our livelihood.' Abraham
asked her, 'How are you getting on?' asking her about their sustenance and living. She
replied, 'We are prosperous and well-off (i.e. we have everything in abundance).' Then she
thanked Allah' Abraham said, 'What kind of food do you eat?' She said. 'Meat.' He said,
'What do you drink?' She said, 'Water." He said, "O Allah! Bless their meat and
water." The Prophet added, "At that time they did not have grain, and if they
had grain, he would have also invoked Allah to bless it." The Prophet added, "If
somebody has only these two things as his sustenance, his health and disposition will be
badly affected, unless he lives in Mecca." The Prophet added," Then Abraham said
Ishmael's wife, "When your husband comes, give my regards to him and tell him
that he should keep firm the threshold of his gate.' When Ishmael came back, he
asked his wife, 'Did anyone call on you?' She replied, 'Yes, a good-looking old man came
to me,' so she praised him and added. 'He asked about you, and I informed him, and he
asked about our livelihood and I told him that we were in a good condition.' Ishmael asked
her, 'Did he give you any piece of advice?' She said, 'Yes, he told me to give his regards
to you and ordered that you should keep firm the threshold of your gate.' On
that Ishmael said, 'It was my father, and you are the threshold (of the gate). He has
ordered me to keep you with me.'
Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah
wished, and called on them afterwards. He saw Ishmael under a tree near Zamzam, sharpening his arrows. When he saw Abraham, he rose up to welcome him
(and they greeted each other as a father does with his son or a son does with his father).
Abraham said, 'O Ishmael! Allah has given me an order.' Ishmael said, 'Do what your Lord
has ordered you to do.' Abraham asked, 'Will you help me?' Ishmael said, 'I
will help you.' Abraham said, Allah has ordered me to build a house here,' pointing to a
hillock higher than the land surrounding it." The Prophet added,
"Then they raised the foundations of the House (i.e. the Ka'ba). Ishmael brought the
stones and Abraham was building, and when the walls became high, Ishmael brought this
stone and put it for Abraham who stood over it and carried on building, while Ishmael was
handing him the stones, and both of them were saying, 'O our Lord! Accept (this service)
from us, Verily, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.' The Prophet added, "Then
both of them went on building and going round the Ka'ba saying: O our Lord ! Accept (this service) from us, Verily, You are the
All-Hearing, the All-Knowing." (2.127) (Translation
of Sahih Bukhari, Prophets, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 583)"
Verses from the Noble Quran and the Bible that
compliment the story:
The Prophecy of the yearly pilgrimage to Mecca in the Noble
Quran:
"Behold! We gave the site, To Abraham, of the (Sacred)
House [That is the Kaaba that he built], (Saying): 'Associate not anything (In worship) with Me; And
sanctify My House For those who compass it round, Or stand up, Or bow, or prostrate
themselves (Therein in prayer). And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they
will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on account of
journeys through deep and distant mountain highways; (The Noble Quran, 22:26-27)"
As we clearly see in the Noble Verses, Allah Almighty promised Abraham peace be upon
him that He will cause for people from all around the world to come and proclaim the
pilgrimage to the House (Kaaba)
that he built.
The story began, when Abraham took Hagar and Ishmael to the city of Paran (Mecca), based on Allah
Almighty's commands. There was literally no life there; not even water. Allah
Almighty then ordered Abraham to build the House of GOD (Kaaba) and leave Hagar and his son Ishmael
there. When later Hagar and Ishmael became very thirsty after they ran out of the
water they brought with them in the journey, Hagar prayed to Allah Almighty to provide
water for them. Hagar then started to desperately run to search for water seven
times (I believe) back and forth between the Safa and Marwa hills. Allah Almighty
then caused Ishmael to rub his feet against the sand and a pool of water, the water of Zumzum came
out.
This Prophecy of Allah Almighty sending people from all over the world to Mecca is
fulfilled every single year in Saudi Arabia through the Muslims' yearly pilgrimage, where
one to three million Muslims come to perform the Hajj (pilgrimage).
"When the Pilgrimage was proclaimed, people came to it from every quarter, near
and far, on foot and mounted. The 'lean camel' coming after the fatiguing journey
through distant mountain roads typifies the difficulties of travel." [2]

Q11- If Islam is so against any form of idol
worship, why do they bow to the kaaba? Why do they call it God's House? Do they believe He
lives there?
The sections of this article are:
1- The House of GOD Almighty in the Noble Quran and the
Bible (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).
2- But aren't Muslims still physically bowing down to the Kaaba itself?
- See also how the Bible's Prophets
(including Jesus) Prayed the Islamic way.
- The Kaaba also maximizes
the Worship of GOD Almighty by unifying the Muslims.
3- What is the difference then between the hindu idols and the Kaba? 4- What about the black stone near the Kaaba? How sacred is it? 5- Conclusion.
1- The House of GOD
Almighty in the Noble Quran and the Bibles:
To help the Jewish and Christian reader understand the Islamic way of Worship better,
I'd like to first present the following from the Bibles:
Genesis 28:16-18
16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, "Surely
the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it."
17 He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other
than the House of GOD; this is the gate of heaven."
18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up
as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
Judges 20:18
18 The Israelites went up to Bethel (the House of GOD in
Hebrew) and inquired of God (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). They said, "Who of us shall go first to
fight against the Benjamites?" The LORD replied, "Judah shall go first."
1 Chronicles 6:47-49
47 the son of Mahli, the son of Mushi, the son of Merari, the son of
Levi.
48 Their fellow Levites were assigned to all the other duties of the tabernacle, the
House of GOD.
49 But Aaron and his descendants were the ones who presented offerings on the altar of
burnt offering and on the altar of incense in connection with all that was done
in the Most Holy Place, making atonement for Israel, in accordance with all
that Moses the servant of God had commanded.
"Behold! We gave the site, To Abraham,
of the (Sacred) House (i.e., the Kaaba), (Saying): 'Associate not
anything (In worship) with Me; And sanctify My House For those who compass it round, Or
stand up, Or bow, or prostrate themselves (Therein in prayer). And proclaim the
Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every
kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways;
(The Noble Quran, 22:26-27)"
As we clearly see, the "House of GOD"Almighty is mentioned
in both the Bible and the Noble Quran. The Prostration to GOD Almighty in either His
House or in the direction of His House (if you live far away) is the most
proper way of Worship according to both the Bible and the Noble Quran.
As we also clearly see, the House of GOD Almighty was mentioned in the Bible
first. The Kaba or Kaaba (the black cube building in Saudi Arabia) is basically the
symbolic point on earth (His House) that GOD Almighty Chose to have all of His True
Believers meet Him through bowing down their faces in humility down to the ground before
Him.
The actual bricks and cement that make up the Kaaba are not holy.
They are no more
holier than the bricks and cement that we see on regular basis in the towns that we live
in.
While it is true that many ignorant and illiterate Muslims might incline toward idol
worship and do consider the actual Kaaba as a very sacred thing to a point where they
would go as far as rubbing their bodies against it to get
"blessings", but these people are not representing the True picture
of Islam. If a person worships the Kaaba itself, then he/she becomes an idol
worshiper:
"Behold! We gave the site, To Abraham, of the (Sacred)
House (i.e., the Kaaba), (Saying): 'Associate not anything (In worship)
with Me; And sanctify My House For those who compass it round, Or stand up,
Or bow, or prostrate themselves (Therein in prayer). And proclaim the Pilgrimage
among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on
account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways; (The Noble Quran, 22:26-27)"
"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)"
"God forgiveth not that partners should be set up
with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up
partners with God is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed. (The
Noble Quran, 4:48)"
"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. (The
Noble Quran, 4:125)"
The Kaaba is only the House of GOD Almighty and is the meeting place for us to meet the
Almighty LORD by bowing down our faces in humility down to the ground before Him in that
direction.
GOD Almighty Chose
that spot on earth to be the meeting place with Him.
Since Allah Almighty ordered Abraham the father of Ishmael and Isaac peace be upon them
to build the Kaaba, people called it the House of GOD Almighty, and it became the
direction for us to bow down to Allah Almighty in worship:
"Behold! We gave the site, To Abraham, of
the (Sacred) House (i.e., the Kaaba), (Saying): 'Associate not anything
(In worship) with Me; And sanctify My House For those who compass it round, Or stand up,
Or bow, or prostrate themselves (Therein in prayer). And proclaim the Pilgrimage
among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on
account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways; (The Noble Quran, 22:26-27)"
So when Muslims prostrate to Allah Almighty, they prostrate in
the direction that is as close as possible to Him. It was
also prophesied
in the Noble Quran that people from all over the world
would come to the city of Mecca (where the Kaaba is located) for pilgrimage.
During the early days of Islam, the Muslims were commanded to bow
down to Allah Almighty in the direction of the Farthest Mosque (Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa) in
Jerusalem, because it was the Holiest Mosque/Temple to worship Allah Almighty in back
since it was not defiled with idols. Allah Almighty then commanded Prophet Muhammad
to order the Muslims to prostrate to Allah Almighty in the direction of the Kaaba in
Mecca, because it was the House of GOD Almighty which was built by Prophet Abraham peace be upon him (mentioned also in the Bible), and
because after the Muslims liberated Mecca in a 10,000 men army (this event was prophesied in the Bible), they cleaned the Kaaba from all idols.
2- But aren't
Muslims still physically bowing down to the Kaaba itself?
We've already seen the "House of GOD"Almighty in both
the Bible and the Noble Quran above. We've seen how the Prostration to GOD Almighty
in either His House or in the direction of His House (if you live far away) is the most
proper way of Worship.
Again, to help the Jewish and Christian reader understand the
Islamic point better, I'd like to present the following from the Bibles:
Numbers 24:3-5
3 and he uttered his oracle: "The oracle of Balaam son
of Beor, the oracle of one whose eye sees clearly,
4 the oracle of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision
from the Almighty, who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
5 "How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel!
Deuteronomy 9:17-19
17 So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands,
breaking them to pieces before your eyes.
18 Then once again I fell prostrate before the LORD for forty days and forty
nights; I ate no bread and drank no water, because of all the sin you had
committed, doing what was evil in the LORD's sight and so provoking him to anger.
19 I feared the anger and wrath of the LORD, for he was angry enough with you to destroy
you. But again the LORD listened to me.
Deuteronomy 9:25
25 I lay prostrate before the LORD
those forty days and forty nights because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
1 Kings 18:39
39 When all the people saw this, they fell
prostrate and cried, "The LORD -he is God! The LORD -he is God!"
Even Jesus, peace be upon him, bowed down to Allah Almighty the Islamic way: "Going a little farther, he [Jesus] fell with his face
to the ground and prayed, 'My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from
me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.' (From
the NIV Bible, Matthew 26:39)"
When Muslims bow down to Allah Almighty in worship at their
homes, they do not for instance bow down to the sofa, or to the pair of shoes, or to the
table, or to the wall, or to the door, or to the TV, or to any object that is in front of
them in their homes. They bow down to Allah Almighty only, regardless
what's in front of them AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT WORSHIPING THAT OBJECT.
The Kaaba is the same thing. We do not bow down to it in worship in any shape or
form. We bow down only to Allah Almighty in its direction because it is His
Appointed House where He symbolically meets His Servants and True Believers.
The Kaaba makes the millions of Muslims all over the world Pray
to Allah Almighty as one unified community.
The direction of
the Kaaba not only unifies the Muslims, but it also maximizes the
Glorification and Praising of GOD Almighty.
It maximizes the Glorification of GOD Almighty, because in the 5-daily Prayers, it is not
only the individual who is Praising GOD, but also the millions of the
Muslims world-wide (who are on the same time) are doing it almost simultaneously as if
they were ONE CLOSE COMMUNITY.
Now in regards to whether Allah Almighty living there or not, no we do not believe that
Allah Almighty lives there. Allah Almighty is unlimited and is every where.
By the way, the Orthodox Jews too bow down to GOD Almighty in worship. Below is a
picture of how Jews worship Allah Almighty:
3- What is the
difference then between the hindu idols and the Kaba?
The comparison is an unfair one because while the Muslims bow
down to GOD Almighty and only to GOD Almighty in Worship, the hindus pray to and glorify
their idols. They address them as "your divinity" and "your
holiness". That's clearly idol worship! You must never confuse the House of GOD Almighty, where GOD and His Servants meet,
with the man-made idols and statues. Allah
Almighty Said:
"For ye do worship idols besides God, and ye
invent falsehood. The things that ye worship besides God have no power to
give you sustenance: then seek ye sustenance from God, serve Him, and be grateful to Him:
to Him will be your return. (The Noble Quran, 29:17)"
"And he said: "For you, ye have taken (for
worship) idols besides God, out of mutual love and regard between yourselves
in this life; but on the Day of Judgment ye shall disown each other and curse each other: and
your abode will be the Fire, and ye shall have none to help." (The Noble Quran, 29:25)"
"And they set up (idols) as equal to God,
to mislead (men) from the Path! Say: "Enjoy (your brief power)! But verily
ye are making straightway for Hell!" (The
Noble Quran, 14:30)"
"Remember Abraham said: "O my
Lord! make this city one of peace and security: and preserve me and my sons
from worshipping idols. (The Noble Quran,
14:35)"
The Muslims on the hand are not idol worshipers. And
neither were the Bible's Prophets (including Jesus), peace be upon them, who prostrated to
GOD Almighty.
There is a
difference between worshiping GOD Almighty in the direction of His House, and putting
idols and praying to them.
Let's not forget also that the hindus' and
the buddhists' idols are statues. The same also for those
who worship the fire, sun, moon, stars, etc... Allah Almighty Said:
"Among His Sings are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Adore
not the sun and the moon, but adore God, Who created them, if it is Him ye
wish to serve. (The Noble Quran, 41:37)"
"They ask thee Concerning the New Moons.
Say: They are but signs To mark fixed periods of time In (the affairs of) men,
And for Pilgrimage. It is no virtue if ye enter the houses from the
back: It is virtue if ye fear Allah. Enter houses Through the proper
doors: And fear Allah: That ye may prosper. (The Noble Quran, 2:189)"
4- What about
the black stone near the Kaaba? How sacred is it?
The black stone is like the bricks and cement that make up the
Kaaba. It is not holy at all and is not worshiped in any shape or form. The
black stone is nothing but a Heavenly object (an asteroid) that
GOD Almighty descended on earth to determine the exact location of where His House was
going to be built by Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon them.
While Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him kissed the stone before,
because it was chosen by Allah Almighty to descend on earth to determine the location of
the Kaaba, but that still doesn't make it anything holy.
It certainly makes it a remarkable and noticeable object that is
worth visiting and seeing, but anyone who worships it is an idol worshiper!
And like I said above, those ignorant and illiterate from the Muslims who go as far
as rubbing themselves against the Kaaba and/or the stone to get "blessings" are
not representing Islam's True picture at all.
As I demonstrated and proved above, Islam and the Prophets are far from promoting any
form of idol worship. You must never confuse or mix the Worship of GOD Almighty with
the worship of man-made idols. The hindus' and buddhists' worship of idols is far
from being even remotely compared to Islam.
It is clear that the Muslims today are the only ones who truly Glorify GOD Almighty in
the Maximum way. Even Jesus, the
polytheist trinitarian pagans' god, Worshiped GOD Almighty and Glorified Him the Islamic
way. Even though it was done hypocritically because he only did it once during
his most desperate times and he has never done it before, but he still nonetheless showed
that the Islamic way is the BEST WAY to really Glorify GOD
Almighty in.
Islam is truly the best Faith to Worship, Praise and Glorify GOD Almighty in.
Therefore, embrace Islam and you will be saved.
This chapter seems to clearly speak about Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him for the
following reasons:
Isaiah 42
The Servant of the Lord
1 "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I
will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. 2 He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. 3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff
out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; 4 he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice
on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope."
The Justice brought to the nations, the complete System of GOD Almighty's Laws on
earth, the Truthfulness of Prophet Muhammad all point to these verses:
"O ye who believe! Stand out firmly For justice,
as witnesses To Allah, even as against Yourselves, or your parents, Or your kin, and
whether It be (against) rich or poor: For Allah can best protect both. Follow not
the lusts (Of your hearts), lest ye Swerve, and if ye Distort (justice) or decline To do
justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted With all that ye do. (The Noble Quran, 4:135)"
"O ye who believe! Stand out firmly For Allah, as
witnesses To fair dealing, and let not The hatred of others To you make you swerve To
wrong and depart from Justice. Be just: that is Next to Piety: and fear Allah.
For Allah is well-acquainted With all that ye do. (The
Noble Quran, 5:8)"
"But if anyone earns A fault or a sin And throws
it on to one That is innocent, He carries (on himself) (Both) a falsehood And
a flagrant sin. (The Noble Quran, 4:112)"
"Allah commands justice, the doing
Of good, and liberality to kith And kin, and He forbids All shameful deeds, and
injustice And rebellion: He instructs you, That ye may receive admonition.
(The Noble Quran, 16:90)"
"...Help ye one another In righteousness and piety, But
help ye not one another In sin and rancour: Fear Allah: for Allah Is strict
in punishment. (The Noble Quran, 5:2)"
Continuing with chapter Isaiah 42:
5 This is what God the LORD says- he who created the
heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who
gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: 6 "I, the LORD , have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of
your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for
the people and a light for the Gentiles, 7 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from
the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
The Gentiles are the non-Jews. These verses clearly suggest that the coming
Prophet will be among the Gentiles. As to the covenant, please visit: Jesus told the Jews that GOD will take His Kingdom from them and give it
to the Muslims.(The article is too
lengthy to copy and paste here. So I ask the reader to read it thoroughly since it
does contain Jesus' own quotes from the New Testament).
The following sets of verses offer even more proofs:
8 "I am the LORD ; that is my name! I will not
give my glory to another or my praise to idols. 9 See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before
they spring into being I announce them to you."
Song of Praise to the Lord
10Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who
go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them. 11 Let the desert and its towns raise their voices; let the
settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy;
let them shout from the mountaintops.
Kedar is the son of Ishmael peace be upon him: "These are
the names of the sons of Ishmael, listed in the order of their
birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
(From the NIV Bible, Genesis 25:13)"
The "settlements where Kedar lives" is referring
to the Arabs. The Arabs before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him were pagans (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).
They used to worship idols. They had 360 idols in the Holy City of Mecca.
GOD Almighty in Isaiah 42:11 is clearly saying that He will send the people of Kedar
(i.e., the Arabs) a Prophet and they should "rejoice"
and "raise their voices" in
happiness.
Also, "Let the desert
and its towns raise their voices;" is clearly referring
to Arabia, since Arabia is known to be made of mostly deserts. Jerusalem was never
called "desert", nor the Jews were ever called the people of "Kedar".
Important Note: Jesus in the Bible never even once visited Arabia! He only
went to Egypt (when his mom escaped to Egypt from King Herod while he was a baby) and
Palestine/Israel. Jesus really had nothing to do with the Arabs of Kedar. It
was Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him that was born and lived in the lands of Kedar, and
he taught the Muslims how to Worship and Glorify GOD Almighty. Please visit: What is the Wisdom of Islam?
12 Let them give glory to the LORD and proclaim his
praise in the islands. 13 The LORD will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior he will stir up
his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his
enemies. 14 "For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held myself
back. But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant. 15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; I
will turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools. 16 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I
will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places
smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. 17 But those who trust in idols, who say to images, 'You are our gods,' will be
turned back in utter shame.
Ironically, many Western anti-Islamics criticize Islam for spreading by the sword. Islam did probably spread by the sword, but the Muslims never really
started any battle. It was the 360 pagan Arab tribes, and later the
Persian and Christian Roman Empires that declared wars against the Muslims, because
Islam's theology was rapidly expanding and it began to threat the pagan religion of Arabia
and later the two major Empires in the region.
"he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his
enemies" clearly means that this Prophet will fight by
the sword the enemies of GOD Almighty. It was Muhammad and his Muslim followers that
spread Islam by crushing and defeating the enemies in the battles.
Jesus never fought any war nor ever led any
army, so this Prophecy can not apply to him.
Continuing with Isaiah 42:
Israel Blind and Deaf
18 "Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see! 19 Who is blind but my servant, and deaf like the messenger I send? Who is
blind like the one committed to me, blind like the servant of the LORD? 20 You have seen many things, but have paid no attention; your ears
are open, but you hear nothing." 21 It pleased the LORD for the sake of his righteousness to make his law great
and glorious. 22 But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in pits or
hidden away in prisons.
They have become plunder, with no one to rescue them; they have been made loot, with no
one to say, "Send them back."
Here we see GOD Almighty is upset and greatly disappointed from the Jews. He
called them "deaf and blind".
23 Which of you will listen to this or pay close
attention in time to come? 24 Who handed Jacob over to become loot, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it
not the LORD ,
against whom we have sinned? For they would not follow his ways; they did not obey his
law. 25 So he poured out on them his burning anger, the violence of war. It
enveloped them in flames, yet they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not
take it to heart.
Please visit: 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. I also showed in Isaiah 52:13 "...he will be
raised and lifted up....", which clearly and
perfectly agrees with Islam about Jesus never died on the cross. "Raised
and lifted" suggests that Jesus will be picked up right from the cross, or saved
right from the cross by Allah Almighty. It suggests that Jesus will not die, nor get
crucified, but rather be raised and lifted by GOD Almighty to Heavens.
Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, claimed that the stone was sent down by
Allah Almighty to Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon
both of them, to give the precise location of where the Kaaba was to
be built by them. We believe that Prophets Abraham and
Ishmael built
the
Kaaba. Western
Scientists
have confirmed that the black stone,
which resides near the
Kaaba in the Holy City of Mecca, is
an outside METEORITE OBJECT!
**** Prophet Muhammad forbade us from worshiping any stone!
****
The black
stone and the Kaaba are not objects of worship in Islam!

Can anyone prove
from bible that hazrat ismail (a.s.) was in Arab and Ibrahim (a.s.)
was about to slaughter him?
Both the Bible and the
Glorious Quran agree that:
1- Ishmael's covenant was
put on hold
(pause)
until the Jewish covenant comes to pass, and the latter
generations come:
2-Ishmael's name means the GOD finally heard the Prayer.
Ishmael's name is a great proof that he was the sacrificed son. He
was born after long decades of frustration and long waits. He was
born after a long time of decades of
desperation.
Isaac would not
have been that big of a deal relatively speaking, because
Ishmael was already born, and the long horrid desperation was long
gone. And Ishmael at the time was his only son, and for a long time
too. Ishmael was 13 years older than Isaac. Peace be upon them
all.
The challenge wasn't just for
Abraham to give up his son for GOD Almighty. Any mere person can do
this, even to pagan deities:
[006:137]Even so, in the eyes of
most of the pagans, their "partners" made alluring the
slaughter of their children, in order to lead
them to their own destruction, and cause confusion in their
religion. If God had willed, they would not have done so: But leave
alone them and their inventions.
While it was a test for
Abraham to give up his son for GOD Almighty, but I believe it was
also more of testing Abraham to give up what he longed for, and was
desperate for, for many decades. And it was also to honor Ishmael,
the Prophet of Allah Almighty. Peace be upon Abraham and his sons.
It matters not:
Let me make it absolutely
clear that Islam does not stand and fall on:
(a)- Whether Ishmael was
the sacrificed-to-be son or not.
(b)- Or whether Abraham and his children were Arabs or not.
None of this matters in Islam.
We are only presenting what the Glorious Quran confirms here.
If Isaac was the sacrificed son, then it wouldn't matter. We
still say Peace be upon all of Allah Almighty's Prophets and
Messengers. And Isaac was certainly one of them, and we love
Isaac and revere him as much as Ishmael and all of Allah Almighty's
Prophets. Peace be upon them all.
And again, ethnicity has nearly no value in Islam:
[049:013] O mankind! We
created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made
you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that
ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured
of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous
of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted
(with all things).
This Noble Verse is not just
to Muslims, but to all humans. For more details, please visit:
As to Ishmael being an Arab,
again, it matters not. But if you care to know, Abraham, Ishmael and
Isaac's father, was from Iraq. Most Iraqis are Arabs.
Assyrians and others are a minority. And even Assyrians and
Kurds and others speak Arabic, and their bloods are mixed with
Arabs. Arabic had always been the dominant language in the
Middle East and North and Central Africa for 20,000 years, if not
even more. And it's the language of the Holy Quran, Allah
Almighty's Perfect and Miraculous Book with
1000s of Numerical and
Scientific Miracles [1],
and also Prophecies [2].

Islam what ethnicity Abraham was.

The following is the detailed
answer....
1- Who was the sacrificed son?
Ishmael's Covenant was made for
the later generations according to both Islam and the Bible (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).
Let us look at Ishmael in great details:
2- The Bible’s Support for Ishmael:
Even in the
altered Bible, there is strong evidence that support that
Ishmael was the son to be sacrificed.
Ishmael's name means "GOD Heard", which implies:
•Ishmael
was 13 years older than Isaac, and
•Noble
Verse
37:102
supports that
Ishmael was a teenage boy:
Ishmael was put on PAUSE until the Covenant of
the Israelites comes to an end:
Are you the Prophet?
Isaiah 42:10-13 (listed in details below) GOD will sing a New Song from Arabia via the gentile Prophet who will come from the Jews' "brothers"(Deuteronomy 18:18). Also in Jeremiah 31:31-32, it will be a new Covenant different from the one that was given to Moses. . The Ishmaelites are the brothers of the Israelites. Also, only Islam fulfilled Deuteronomy's army of 10,000 Believers (Deuteronomy 33:2). The New Testament also renews this Prophecy and claims it is yet to be fulfilled in the future. Also, Ishmael's Covenant was left for the "later generations".Also, year 314: Paran's geography was Mecca; 300 years before Islam. Arabia's honorable burdens from GOD Almighty in Isaiah's prophecy and other OT books. See also Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name. Sons and daughters titles will be "no more") .
Isaiah 56:5: The future believers' name will no longer be Sons and daughters of GOD (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). Their title will be Muslims
The final Prophet in Jeremiah 31:31-32, Isaiah 42:10-13, John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44 will bring a new covenant different from the one given to Moses ("It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors"), and he will be a gentile. Only Islam's Covenant and Prophet fulfilled this.
Psalm 138:2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.
In the OT, "the Prophet" will come from
"their brothers"
(the Jews' brothers: Deuteronomy 18:18). The Ishmaelites are
the brothers of the Israelites. Also, a
plethora of Prophecies in OT and NT that speak
about this Prophet to be a Gentile, and will
come from the Southern Lands, and from the Lands
of Kedar and Teman (all in Saudi Arabia), and
the House of GOD will be established in the
deserts of Kedar:
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.
Are you the Christ? No.
Are you Elijah? No.
Are you the Prophet? No.
Why wasn't Prophet Muhammad preached by the early Christians in Jerusalem, Arabia, Africa and Europe? Early cities like Antioch, Corinth, Rome and others were never taught the coming of Prophet Muhammad. Doesn't this prove that Islam is false? But he was preached!
Click to expand.
Keep in mind also that Christianity's scriptures didn't get documented for 200+ years after Jesus (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him). Ample forgeries and lies were made by the pagan churches.
300 years before Islam,
manuscripts were found that gave the
location
of Paran to
be in modern-day Mecca.
"Burden" is a monumental honorable thing
from GOD Almighty. Burden was used for Noah and other Prophets' tasks as
well. Notice in the following honorable burden how GOD Almighty will come
from a far southern land,
and from Teman and Paran in Arabia:
Habakkuk 1:1
1 The
burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
What burden did he see?
Habakkuk 3:3
3 God came from
Teman, and the Holy One from
mount Paran. Selah (Arabian desert of Selah in Isaiah 42:11 and MOUNT SELA in Medina thoroughly discussed below). His
glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
Tema in Hebrew means the "south country". We also know that Tema (Tayma) is in Saudi Arabia today, and Saudi Arabia is indeed south of Palestine and Jordan. So, GOD came from the south Arabian country, and His holy one from Mecca is the future burden that Prophet Habakkuk saw. 300 years before Islam, Paran was Mecca.
Lord cometh from far (Far from Palestine. Mecca is 900+ miles far, and it is in the south), burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
00:00 Original reading has a single donkey and single camel rider, and jews corrupted the text 02:45 Who are the 2 horsemen? 05:27 Hard to determine the other two riders based on Babylon first destruction 06:22 Babylon's second destruction and the rise of Islam in Habakkuk & Deuteronomy 33 23:00 Babylon's second destruction and the rise of Islam in Daniel 2 24:46 The donkey rider and the camel rider 28:36 Cyrus didn't fulfill verse 9, Islamic empire did 31:49 Book of revelation & Targum Jonathan say it's about 2 destructions of Babylon 33:33 Rabbis admitting this prophecy & Ishmael isn't the camel rider 39:53 Questions to those who deny this prophecy
GOD Almighty's
new burdens that he placed on future
Arabia are the same burdens that He placed upon Prophets, and also upon places where the
righteous believers carry His Truth and uphold it. A burden from
GOD Almighty is:
1- Costly.
2- Requires endless
patience and perseverance.
3- Is an honor from GOD
Almighty upon the individual or the group of people.
4-
Is not a wrath from GOD Almighty upon the individual or
people.
Future Arabia has
many burdens
placed upon it throughout the OT. Notice also in the Bible,
Prophet Job was called
"perfect
and upright"
by GOD Almighty in the OT. He was a very rich Arab man.
Also, Jesus in the NT called the
Canaanite Palestinian woman "O woman,
how great is your faith! Be it as you wish." He never
granted any wish a person desires to any person throughout the NT, other than this Arab woman.
Arabia's
Future Blessings:
Shout in joy
Arabs in Arabia, for the streams of GOD's Truth and Blessings will gush from
your lands; Arabia!
Isaiah 35:6
Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing:

desert
shall waters break out, and

Arabia's honorable burden, Islam, is indeed monumental
and heavy.
Why was GOD Almighty charitable (χάριτι) and forgiving to Jesus in Luke 2:52:?
1. "You were perfect from the day you were created". Jesus was also created from the Word of GOD. 2. Glorious. 3. "the chosen one". 4. The "Anointed". 5. ruler over earth. 6. Ruler over the "Holy Mount" of GOD.
He was all of these and more before arrogance, pride, stubbornness and blasphemies caused Satan to fall from Grace. Jesus then became the substitute, i.e., the Perfect", "Glorious", "the chosen one", the "Anointed", "ruler over earth" and ruler over the "Holy Mount" chosen one of GOD Almighty.
Holy Gambling:
Sam Shamoun promoted Christianity's Holy Gambling, and he even funded other gamblers. He himself spent 10s of thousands of dollars on it. Also, the 12th disciple, Mathias, was chosen via gambling by the other disciples. They literally rolled the holy dice [1] amongst each other to choose him from among other choices. Then they claimed it was the Holy Spirit that chose him (??). Dice and chance had nothing to do with it.
The Romans had to fake fake his crucifixion due to Passover issues: [1]
Paul commanded women to not exposesex predators in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, 1 Timothy 2:11-13, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4, 1 Corinthians 2:15 and other passages.
Jesus also said the direction of the Prayer towards Jerusalem will be no more (Psalm 138:2, John 4:21, Matthew 21:43, Isaiah 35, Isaiah 60, Genesis 25:12-13). It will be replaced with the Qibla (direction) to Mecca and the Holy Path to Mecca. Only Islam is the Divine Truth from Allah Almighty. Christianity is pagan. Even Christmas is an ancient Roman pagan holiday(video clip) according to the Christian theologians themselves:
See also 24 other Thrones and Messiahs besides Jesus (Revelations 4 & 5).
Quran: All Bibles are mostly corrupt [1]قول (Quran 10:94 and 10s others discussed). See also the 39+ members of trinity. Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40.
AlsoMount Hira in Mecca in Isaiah 29:12 is possibly the same mountain Moses received GOD Almighty's Divine Revelations in, since this is the same mountain Prophet Muhammad received the Quran in.
Isaiah 42:10-13 (listed in details below) GOD will sing a New Song from Arabia via the gentile Prophet who will come from the Jews' "brothers"(Deuteronomy 18:18). Also in Jeremiah 31:31-32, it will be a new Covenant different from the one that was given to Moses. . The Ishmaelites are the brothers of the Israelites.

The final Prophet in Jeremiah 31:31-32, Isaiah 42:10-13, John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44 will bring a new covenant different from the one given to Moses ("It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors"), and he will be a gentile. Only Islam's Covenant and Prophet fulfilled this.
Psalm 138:2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.
Jesus' Path to Islam quite clearly defined in Matthew 21:33-46: Servants (FAILED)->Son (FAILED) -> New Tenants ("other tenants") and New Ethnic People Jesus said (ethneiἔθνει) (new nation) (non-Jewish Muslims>)). The "great nation" of Ishmael OT prophecy begins to be fulfilled in Matthew 21:33-46.
Notice how
Isaiah 42:11 defines the
NEW SONG and
NEW PEOPLE:
The prophecy of Isaiah 42 about the Prophet:
1. Lives where Kedar the son of Ishmael [Genesis 25:13] 2. Kedar from Arabia [Ezekiel 27:21] 3. Will live besides Sela (mountain in Arabia) 4. He will sing a new song (law) 5. Will be sent from Gentiles not Jews NOT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL Matthew (15:24) 6. Man of war (Isaiah 42:13) 7. Will be sent to idol worshipers (Isaiah 42:17)
Isaiah 30:6
6 The burden of the beasts of the
south: into the land of trouble and
anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying
serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and
their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit
them.
Isaiah 30:27
27 Behold, the
name of the
Lord cometh
from far, burning with his anger, and the
burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a

2-
Tema in
Hebrew means the "south country". We also know that Tema
(Tayma) is
in Saudi Arabia today, and Saudi Arabia
is indeed south of Palestine and Jordan. So, GOD came from the south Arabian country, and His holy one from Mecca is the future burden that Prophet Habakkuk saw. 300 years before Islam, Paran was Mecca.
Jesus' Path to Islam quite clearly defined in Matthew 21:33-46: Servants (FAILED)->Son (FAILED) -> New Tenants ("other tenants") and New Ethnic People Jesus said (ethneiἔθνει) (new nation) (non-Jewish Muslims>)). The "great nation" of Ishmael OT prophecy begins to be fulfilled in Matthew 21:33-46.

Will be sent from Gentiles not Jews NOT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL Matthew (15:24) 6. Man of war (Isaiah 42:13) 7. Will be sent to idol worshipers (Isaiah 42:17)
GOD's burden will be upon Arabia prophecy. The same word, "burden," was
also used for monumental assigned tasks to Prophets. So, Arabia was
chosen to carry the burden, and to bear the brunt and pain of
spreading GOD Almighty's Truth to the entire world. See Goddess
Asherah, pornography, return of the Messiah from Damascus, Bible and
Islam Prophecy for ample verses and proofs. The Prophecy
also says GOD will come from a far
southern land[1],
and from Teman and Paran [1](both
are in Saudi Arabia). That's precisely Islam.
300 years before Islam,
Paran's geography
was determined to be in modern-day Mecca. Manuscripts were
found.
Know also that the entire
"House of Jacob",
in Isaiah's prophecy, was commanded to follow this Servant-to-come
from the deserts of Arabia [1]. Do not be afraid (Isaiah 41:8-13) of this new GENTILE SERVANT (Isaiah 41:2, 42:1) and the
NEW CHANGE
(he will sing a NEW SONG of new Divine Revelation Isaiah 42:10) that the desert of Kedar will rejoice for his coming (Isaiah 42:11).
Never was this said for an Israelite Prophet. THE ENTIRE HOUSE
OF JACOB were commanded to not be afraid of him, because he will be
a NON-ISRAELITE Prophet. NEW SONG here means a new non-Hebrew Arabic Scripture to come from Arabia (Kedar); the Glorious Quran.

In the NIV Bible commentary of Psalm 84, they also mentioned that Selah was mentioned in verses 4 and 8 of Psalm 84. Half of the Book of Psalm talks about Selah, and half of the Book of Isaiah has prophecies about the blessed future Arabia [2] [3].

He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall
prevail against His enemies.
Indeed, Islam
came from Arabia. The Glorious Quran is
the NEW SONG that the Hebrew speaking Jews are
not part of or used to. And Islam
prevailed over its Arabian enemies in the desert
and ended the polytheism and idol worship.

It is the

letters in Hebrew and Arabic to change the sound
of letter. This is similar to the letters
E, O and other vowel letters in English. Also inside the city of Medina, Islam's second holiest city, there is also Mount Sela. Medina was Yathrib before Islam. The Jewish Prophecy here could either be referring to the entire region or directly and specially to the city of Medina. In either case, the geography is clearly deep in Arabia:
Sela (Arabic: سلع ) is a mountain in Medina in modern Saudi Arabia. Mount Sela in the "District of the Seven Mosques" in city of Medina Municipality in Saudi Arabia. Sela means "sliced", because the mountain looks as if it is sliced several times. The Islamic prophet Muhammad in the Battle of the Trench prayed to God for victory on Mount Sela.

Although archaeological remains may
not be the first thing that spring
to mind when most people think of
Saudi Arabia, it has
incredible historic sites. Mada'in
Saleh, which was
designated a World Heritage Site by
UNESCO, contains many
remarkable ruins and tombs. It is
the first location in Saudi Arabia
to have achieved this distinction.
It was once the second city of
perhaps the most important pre-IslamicArabian
civilization, the
Nabateans.

Remember:
Burden
is a monumental honorable thing from
GOD Almighty. Burden was used
for
Noah
and other Prophets' tasks as well.
Visit section #2 in the following
article about "2- The
honorable burdens throughout the
Bible". Notice how GOD
Almighty will come from a far
southern land, and from Teman and
Paran in particular in Arabia:
Isaiah 21:13
The burden
upon
Arabia Isaiah 30:27 GOD's Name will come from a far land
Habakkuk 3:3 GOD will come from the southern (Tema) Arabian lands
Isaiah 42:10-13 New Song from Arabia via the gentile Prophet who will come from the Jews' "brothers"(Deuteronomy 18:18). Also in Jeremiah 31:31-32, it will be a new Covenant different from the one that was given to Moses.
Isaiah 42:13
The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man;
Habakkuk 3:3
God came from
Teman, and the Holy One from
mount Paran. Selah. His
glory covered the heavens, and the earth was
full of his praise.
So we have
the deserts of Teman, Paran, Kedar, Sela
(Selah). We also have Arabia, Duma, Deedan,
and others (See also Isaiah 1:9-17: Yahweh called Israel Sodom, because it spreads evil and is unjust). Again, remember:
Burden
is a monumental honorable thing from GOD
Almighty. Burden was used for

Notice in the following honorable burden how GOD Almighty will come from a far
southern land, and from Teman and Paran in
Arabia:
Know also that the entire
"House of Jacob",
in Isaiah's prophecy, was commanded to follow this Servant-to-come
from the deserts of Arabia [1]. Do not be afraid (Isaiah 41:8-13) of this new GENTILE SERVANT (Isaiah 41:2, 42:1) and the
NEW CHANGE
(he will sing a NEW SONG of new Divine Revelation Isaiah 42:10) that the desert of Kedar will rejoice for his coming (Isaiah 42:11).
Never was this said for an Israelite Prophet. THE ENTIRE HOUSE
OF JACOB were commanded to not be afraid of him, because he will be
a NON-ISRAELITE Prophet. NEW SONG here means a new non-Hebrew Arabic Scripture to come from Arabia (Kedar); the Glorious Quran.
Read
Isaiah 41 & 42.
Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name, and sons and daughters of GOD titles will be "no more"; ; Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40) Muslims bless
Abraham everyday. Shedding light on
Genesis 12:1-3 "I will bless
those who bless you...".
Jesus' Path to Islam quite clearly defined in Matthew 21:33-46: Servants (FAILED)->Son (FAILED) -> New Tenants ("other tenants") and New Ethnic People Jesus said (ethnei
ἔθνει) (new nation) (non-Jewish Muslims>)). The "great nation" of Ishmael OT prophecy begins to be fulfilled in Matthew 21:33-46.
Notice how
Isaiah 42:11 defines the
NEW SONG and
NEW PEOPLE:
The prophecy of Isaiah 42 about the Prophet:
1. Lives where Kedar the son of Ishmael [Genesis 25:13] 2. Kedar from Arabia [Ezekiel 27:21] 3. Will live besides Sela (mountain in Arabia) 4. He will sing a new song (law) 5. Will be sent from Gentiles not Jews NOT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL Matthew (15:24) 6. Man of war (Isaiah 42:13) 7. Will be sent to idol worshipers (Isaiah 42:17)
Jesus was the
final Jewish Prophet, and the Messiah who
shall
return from Arabia (Matthew 24:25-27
and Islam say this), and his mission and message were limited to his
Jewish generation. He was a hub leading to Islam and
to the new change:
Matthew 15:24
24 Jesus answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep
of Israel.”
Matthew 24:34
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall
not pass,
till all these things be
fulfilled."
Matthew 5:17-20, Matthew 23:1-3
“Do not think that I have come to
abolish the Law
or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to
fulfill
them.
Jesus was limited to only his Jewish generation.
Beyond that, he was
only a hub leading to Islam and to
Muhammad, the gentile Prophet. Please also

Prophet? No.

In the OT, "the Prophet" will come
"from their brothers"
(the Jews' brothers: Deuteronomy 18:18). The Ishmaelites are
the brothers of the Israelites. Also, a
plethora of Prophecies in OT and NT that speak
about this Prophet to be a Gentile, and will
come from the Southern Lands, and from the Lands
of Kedar and Teman (all in Saudi Arabia), and
the House of GOD will be established in the
deserts of Kedar:
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.
Are you the Christ? No.
Are you Elijah? No.
Are you the
Prophet? No.
Why wasn't Prophet Muhammad preached by the early Christians in Jerusalem, Arabia, Africa and Europe? Early cities like Antioch, Corinth, Rome and others were never taught the coming of Prophet Muhammad. Doesn't this prove that Islam is false? But he was preached!

300 years before Islam,
manuscripts were found that gave the
location
of Paran to
be in modern-day Mecca.

Becca is Mecca in Psalm 4:6.
According to (1) Cambridge commentary,
(2)
Jewish Encyclopedia and (3)
Encyclopedia Biblica in Arabic and other sources. Ample Jewish and
Christian references declare Becca's geography to be modern-day Mecca. In the NIV Bible commentary of Psalm 84, they also mentioned that Selah was mentioned in verses 4 and 8 of Psalm 84. Half of the Book of Psalm talks about Selah, and half of the Book of Isaiah has prophecies about the blessed future Arabia [2] [3].
Eesa is Iesu and Iesus in Latin and Greek for Jesus, and Eesa is also a Hebrew word that means doctor

Christianity is a war on GOD Almighty and a polytheist trinitarian paganism.
It turned sinful into lawful and lawful into sinful. (ex: porkbecame
lawful,polygamy became sinful and many other examples of
blasphemies and quackery):
Daniel 7:25
25 He shall speak words against the Most High (turning sinful lawful and lawful sinful),
and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,
and shall think to
change the times and the law; (AD calendar and christianity)
and they shall be given into his hand (christianity will be forged)
for a time, times, and half a time.
The
Pilgrimage to the House
of GOD in Arabia Prophecy in the Bibles:
3- Abraham had no
child for almost 100 years. He was completely barren:
Abraham was very desperate for
a son. Ishmael was the greatest gift from GOD Almighty to
Abraham. This is why Abraham named him
GOD finally Answered my
Prayer. GOD Almighty put Abraham to the ultimate
test by Commanding him to slaughter this precious son. Abraham
obeyed GOD Almighty by attempting to slaughter his son, Ishmael.
Ishmael too was true to
his promise.
He never resisted, nor disobeyed. He was willing to get
slaughtered for the Will of Allah Almighty. GOD Almighty saved
Ishmael at the last minute, and Commanded Abraham to slaughter a ram
instead.
4- The corrupt Jewish
books say it was Isaac:
But the name "ISHMAEL"
really exposes their lies and gives it all away!
The name clearly suggests that Abraham was
MOST DESPERATE
with Ishmael, and hence, Ishmael's test would‘ve been FAR GREATER
than Isaac's. Isaac was the second son, and 13 years younger.
The Jewish Law gives double the inheritance to the OLDEST SON when the
father dies (Deuteronomy
21:17).
This is not a war between Ishmael and Isaac.
In Islam, we honor all of the
people of Israel's Prophets and Messengers of GOD Almighty.
Peace be upon Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac. And peace be upon Hagar
and Sara. Again, please visit:
"El" in names
as in Ishmael was common among the Jews. Is the GOD of Islam different? Allah Almighty allowed for His
Holy Name to be shortened as "El" in Ishmael,
and Lillah for Li-Allah in the Quran, as in
Alhamdulillah in
both Islam and Judaism.
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:
•"El"
was a shortened name for Allah (ALIF, LAMED, LAMED, HEY)
In Hebrew.
Watch above vidoes.
•Allah
is also spelled out with ALIF, LAMED, LAMED, HEY in
Hebrew to be GOD (Luke 2:52: GOD forgave Jesus' sins and was "charitable" with him).
•Allah
Almighty allowed for shortening of His Holy Name and Titles
for the Jews. This is where you get Ishmael,
Garbriel, Ezekiel (short for Allah). This is also
where you get Hallelujah, Netanyahu (short for
Yahuwah, or Yahweh)
•Islam
also has shortened Name for Allah Almighty.
-Alhamdulillah
is short for Alhamdu li Allah.

Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind. For example:
1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513times throughout the Glorious Quran. Yet, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. See detailed listing here.
Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).
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.
3- Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is: - Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2]. - Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
"When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (وردة كالدهان)." (The Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day. NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode). It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.
Quran: All Bibles are mostly of corrupt [1]قول (Quran 10:94 and 10s others discussed). See also the 39+ members of trinity. Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40.
"I cannot do anything on my own." (i.e., Jesus could not perform a single Miracle without GOD sending it down to him first!). I can not perform a single Miracle on my own!! I am totally POWERLESS without Allah Almighty!
John 5:31 "if I (Jesus) bear witness of myself, then I would be a liar!"
GOD didn't talk this way when He spoke to Moses. GOD's testimony alone is always sufficient! Jesus also bowed his face down to the ground, like we Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name, and sons and daughters of GOD titles will be "no more"; ; Jesus called every believer a Muslim in
Luke 6:40) Muslims do everyday, and prayed to GOD Almighty.
