[b:b3bd909d29]dear all,[/b:b3bd909d29]
God has said in the Quran:
[/color:b3bd909d29]
[b:b3bd909d29]<span>Those who have disbelieved and died in disbelief, the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them if one offered it as a ransom. They will have a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers. (Quran, 3:91)[/color:b3bd909d29][/b:b3bd909d29]</span>
<span>So, this life is our only chance to win Paradise and to escape from Hellfire, because if someone dies in disbelief, he will not have another chance to come back to this world to believe. As God has said in the Quran about what is going to happen for the unbelievers on the Day of Judgment:</span>
<span> [b:b3bd909d29]</span><span><span>If you could but see when they are set before the Fire (Hell) and say, “Would that we might return (to the world)! Then we would not reject the verses of our Lord, but we would be of the believers!” (Quran, 6:27)[/color:b3bd909d29][/b:b3bd909d29]</span></span>
<span><span>But no one will have this second opportunity.</span></span>
<span><span>[b:b3bd909d29]</span></span><span><span><span>The Prophet Muhammad said: {The happiest man in the world of those doomed to the Fire (Hell) on the Day of Judgment will be dipped in the Fire once. Then he will be asked, “Son of Adam, did you ever see any good? Did you ever experience any blessing?” So he will say, “No, by God, O Lord!”}1[/color:b3bd909d29][/b:b3bd909d29]</span></span></span>

What is a Bible
The word Bible does not appear in Bible. Bible is a book of both the Jews and the
Christians. Muslims also believe in Moses and Jesus (Peace Be Upon Them). Muslims
also believe in the Message of Original Torah”[Original GospelBut since
Original Torah” and Original Gospel”[/u:5383caf5ba] have been lost by both Jews and Christians,
Muslims do not accept the existing version of Torah and Gospels as the real word of
GOD.
The present day Bible of Protestants is composed of 66 Books whereas the Bible
of Catholics have 73 Books. Some Books are as lengthy as 75 printed pages while
others are as short as one page or even less.
These 66 Books are divided into two Parts. First Part consists of 39 Books and is
called “The Old Testament”. The Second Part consists of 27 Books and is called “The
New Testament. (Or Testament One and Testament Two)
Though as a whole the Bible consists of 66/73 Books, but the Jews primarily
concern themselves with the very first 5 Books of the Old Testament. On the other
hand the Christians primarily concern themselves with all the 27 Books of the New
Testament. Out of these 27 Books, the first 4 are called the Gospels. (The Gospel of
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). The remaining 23 Books were written by Paul and
others.
The original Torah must have been written in Hebrew language. Later day
editions were in Latin, Greek and English. Today once again the first- 5 books of the
Testament One, called the Torah are written in Hebrew language in Israel.
The original Gospel must have been in Aramic language which was a sister
Arabic language. Later day editions were in Latin and Greek and English languages.
Today Bible is available in hundreds of languages.

Is Jesus the Same as God? |

Assalamo Alikom,
By Ahmed Deedat:
Is Jesus The Same as GOD ???
In John 10:30 we find that Jesus says "I and my Father are one." This verse, according to Christians, shows clearly that God and Jesus Christ are the same. Also we read in John 20:17, "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God." Here Jesus clearly states that there is distinction between him and God. In other words that Jesus himself has a God. Also Matthew 27:46 "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Here Jesus Christ cries in loud voice calling his God.
These are two different and opposite ways Jesus relates himself to God. The first one that he and God are one, and the second is that he refers to a higher authority than him which is his God. Now assuming that both are correct statements then we have a contradiction. If, for example, Jesus Christ was God himself as in John 10:30 then it would be more appropriate for him to say "...and to myself, and your God." in John 20:17, or "Myself, Myself, why hast thou forsaken me?" in Matthew 27:46. If, on the other hand, one of them is wrong and the other is correct then we have to discard the one that we believe to be incorrect. Since God does not make mistakes then we no longer believe that the Bible is the word of God (because we believe that there is a contradiction God's words).
A third possibility is that we have to look at how we can interpret the words of Jesus in those verses. As far as John 20:17 and Matthew 27:46 it is very clear that Jesus has a God whom he prays to and Whom has a higher authority than him. We can back this up with other verses from the bible that say, "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." (John 5:30). Also Jesus says, "...for my Father is greater than I" (John 14:28). If Jesus and God were the same then he would not have said what he has said in the above verses. Now, the only verse that can be interpreted is John 10:30. It is the only one that does not render itself clear. The only way John 10:30 could be interpreted such that it does not contradict all the other verses is by saying that Jesus meant that he and God have something in common.
To find out what the common grounds are, we have to look at the context which this verse is in:
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
As can be seen from John 10:28 and John 10:29 that Jesus is telling the Jews that he and God share something in common, and that is; that no one can pluck the faithful from either of their hands. This is what is common between Jesus and God in this case, and not that Jesus is himself is God, or that they are exactly the same.
Let us go on to see what Jesus says in John 10:
John 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
John 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
John 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
John 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
John 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
John 10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan
In John 10:31 we see that the Jews misunderstood what Jesus had meant by "I and my Father are one." (John 10:30). And in John 10:33 they accuse him of blasphemy. Now, had Jesus been God, or had he and God been one in a literal sense then he should not hesitate to clarify the matter at this point. Jesus at this point says, "Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" What he is trying to say that if you call "I and my Father are one" blasphemy then you should call what is written in your law "Ye are gods" blasphemy also. The reasoning here is that "Ye are gods" does not mean that you, the Jews, are Gods, it is rather an expression. It just means that you are godly people. The same with "I and my Father are one." It does not mean that I am God or that we are the same literally. It is just an expression. The same goes for calling himself "the Son of God." This statement should not be taken literally either.
The Holy Quran says, "...Nothing whatsoever (is there) like the like of Him, and He (alone) is All-Hearing and All-Seeing" (Ch 42: Vr 11). Nothing at all is like God, not Moses, not Jesus, not Muhammad, and certainly nothing of His creation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What About All These Verses?
After I discuss the above with my Christian brothers they ask me, "but what about the other verses that say Jesus is God?" and they show me some of them. Some of these verses are:
1. John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
My Christians brothers here associate this verse to the words that God had said to Moses in the Old Testament when He said to him in Exodus 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." What Jesus said is similar to what God had said to Moses therefor they are the same. (Of course Jesus does not say explicitly that he is God here, and I could show that what he meant was not that he was God, but I will leave this for another discussion.)
2. Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
Jesus here gives himself divine quality, being present as God.
3. Revelation 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Jesus here says that he is the first and the last. This is clearly a divine quality. Also he says that he has the keys of hell and of death. This is also a divine quality.
I really don't know how many more verse like these are available, but let us assume that there are more than that. I reply to them that what you showed me right now only backs me up even further, and before I explain how, I relate the following verse to them:
1. Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
It is shown here that God and only God and not the son (Jesus) has the knowledge of the time of the Judgment day. Jesus here denies his divinity (since God knows everything).
2. John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Here Jesus also says that his powers do not belong to him, and he alone, without the help of God, can do nothing. Again Jesus is denying divine qualities.
3. John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Here Jesus also denies any divine qualities. He (Jesus), without God can do nothing.
4. John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Also,
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Here Jesus, in the first verse, says that he has a God, and in the second he cries out for his God. Surely God does not have a god. Jesus clearly shows that he has a God and that he is not divine.
5. John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
Jesus clearly states that no one had even heard God's voice, and not even seen his shape. This is Jesus talking, and his voice heard and his shape is seen to those he is with at the moment, so it must be not him that he is referring to as the Divine character, and that means that they (Jesus and God) are not the same.
6. John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Here Jesus also says that God is greater that he is. Again he is disclaiming divinity.
7. Matthew 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
When a man referred to Jesus by good master, Jesus replied to him by saying that there is only one good which is God. If Jesus cannot even claim that he is good, then why should he claim that he is God?
These are all verses from the bible some show Christ to be God or having some qualities of God and others that show the he is not God and that he does not have divine qualities. Which are we to believe? Aren't these contradictions? I say to all my Christian brothers that brought me the verse that claim Christ's divinity, "now you have to explain to me how such a thing could be. What does all this mean?"

Ibn Yunus (399 A.H. / 1009 A.D.)
- His Birth and Early Life:
- His name is Abu Al-Hasan bin `Abdul-Rahman bin Ahmad bin Yunus bin `Abd Al-A`la.
- He was born in Egypt in a respected family in Fustat, his great grandfather having been a companion of the famous legal scholar Al-Sahfi`i and his father being a distinguished historian and scholar of hadith.
- Since his childhood, Ibn Yunus received knowledge. Due to Ibn Yunus’ excellence in astronomy, Al-`Aziz Billah the Fatimid and his son Al-Hakim Bi’amr Allah encouraged him to proceed in his researches in astronomy and mathematics. They dedicated for him an observatory on the peak of Al-Muqattam hills near Cairo, which was equipped with the most modern observation tools.
- Ibn Yunus managed to observe the solar and lunar eclipses in 368 A.H. / 978 A.D.
- He reached the same results discovered by the astronomers of Baghdad. His astronomical tables were distinguished with meticulous calculations and attention to detail, what made them a reference to all later scientists.
- Important Achievements:
- He observed the solar eclipses in the years 368 A.H. / 977 A.D. and 369 A.H./ 978 A.D. These were the first eclipses to be reliably and accurately recorded in a scientific way.
- He determined the secular acceleration of the moon.
- He corrected many theories regarding the inclination of the zodiac, the atmospheric refraction of the sun’s rays and the equinox.
- He managed to resolve many intricate questions of astrometry.
- He was the first to consider secondary parentheses as an alternative of square roots that render mathematical questions very intricate.
- He contributed to making trigonometry as a separate science from astronomy.
- He initiated the tables of tangents and cotangents.
- He invented a new method to facilitate mathematical operations.
- The most important of his inventions was the pendulum.
- Ibn Yunus dedicated all his life in studying and observing the motion of planets.
- Among the most important works of Ibn Yunus in astronomy and mathematics are the following:
- Al-Zij Al-Hakimi (four volumes)
- Kitab Al-Zhill
- Ghayat Al-Intifa`
- Kitab Al-Mail
- Al-Ta`dil Al-Muhkam
- Al-Raqqas
- Tarikh A`yan Misr [/color:f996fb2015]

How Old is the Earth? Quran & Science |

dear all, pls have idea.
[b:2ecb1a5f48]Quran & Science
How Old is the Earth?
The Bible provides a chronology of history that extends back to the creation of Adam and Eve and to the creation of the earth. From this chronology it is possible to determine the date of the creation and hence the age of the earth.
Archbishop Ussher of Armagh (1581-1657) had calculated the year of creation to be 4004 B.C. If that was not precise enough, Dr. Lightfoot of Cambridge worked out that the exact time when God completed His creation was 9a.m. on Friday, October 23, 4004 B.C. (see the book Thinking about God by Sr. R. W. Maqsood, p. 63).
Many religious groups and sects have used this date in predicting precise dates for the end of the world, but all such predictions have so far proved erroneous. The one fact against them is that the world is still intact and we are very much alive. One reason all of those predictions failed is that they are calculated from a false date of creation. If 4004 B.C. was the year of creation, that would make the earth less than six thousand years old. No scientist can accept this today.
Modern scientists estimate that the earth is 4.5 billion years old with a maximum error of 2.2 % (see The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 148). Knowing this, many educated people lost faith in religion. They naturally felt that the Word of God should not contain errors of this kind. Others maintain that the Word of God was meant to teach only that truth which God wanted put into the scriptures for our salvation. It is therefore immaterial if the book contains historical or scientific errors.
As the scientist Galileo put it, the Bible is there to teach people how to go to heaven; it is not there to teach people how the heavens go. Some maintain, therefore, that it is understandable that the book will contain some historical and scientific errors since it was written by human beings who lived a long time ago and did not share our modern knowledge.
The Qur’an, on the other hand, does not contain any historical or scientific or any kind of error. God challenges us to test this claim by examining the book for ourselves (see Qur’an 4:82).
The Qur’an does not repeat the incorrect biblical chronology we have seen above. The Qur’an does not give a chronology since its purpose is not to provide us with the details of history, but only to teach us the lessons arising from specific events in history.
The Qur’an does, however tell us that God measured the sustenance of the earth in four periods (Qur’an 41:10). As to what could be the significance of these four periods, Dr. Bucaille comments as follows:
“One could perhaps see in them the four geological periods described by modern science, with man’s appearance, as we already know, taking place in the quaternary era. This is purely a hypothesis since nobody has an answer to this question” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 150).
How did the author of the Qur’an avoid the mistake in chronology committed by so many others, and believed in by so many others even up to our present day? Could a man in the seventh century have known that the earth was much more than six thousand years old? How could he come by this modern knowledge unless God was revealing knowledge to him? God tells us that the Qur’an is His book and not the work of any man (see Qur’an 10:37).

Names of Allâh (SWT)
Al-A'raf
[180] The most beautiful names belong to Allah: so call on Him by them; but shun such men as use profanity in His names: for what they do, they will soon be requited.
Al-Israa
[110] Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between."
Ta-Ha
[8] Allah! there is no god but He! To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.
Al-Hashr
[24] He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory; and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
Fussilat
[53]" We shall show them Our Signs upon the horizons and within themselves until it is clear to them that it is the Real (the Truth)"
Allah Self-disclosed through the manifestation of the Most Beautiful Names of which one Hadith relates the following Ninety-Nine Names of Allâh:
Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There are ninety-nine names of Allah; he who commits them to memory will be admitted to Paradise. Verily, Allah is Witr (He is one, and it is an odd number) and He loves odd number.

obvious magic."
4- Why has Allah created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them?

Know not verily, the Day of Judgment (when Allah will judge between the creatures) is the time appointed for all of them

Quran6/165
And it is He who has made you generations coming after generations, replacing each other on the earth.

7-How may Allah test the believers (from sins) and destroy the disbeliveers?
If a wound (and killing) has touched you, be sure a similar wound (and killing) has touched the others. And so are the days (good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allah may test those who believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you. And Allah likes not the Zalimun and that Allah may test (or purify) the believers (from sins) and destroy the disbeliveers (polytheists and wrongdoers).

Them accordingly).
13- Why Allah may test those who strive hard and the patient ones, and we shall test your facts?
