Allah's Description Of Those Who Ascribe A Son

[umm Zachariah]

Bismillah,


Assalamu aleikum,


Sister Muslimah, you are right , we answer questions for whatever reason, but let me just say, maybe I said it already, I am just curious to know why some questions are repeated


One point Ronniv that caught my eye, I see brother Lifutushi has already been into it, but I would also have a go if you don't mind?


''One simple example is how so many Muslims challenge Christians with a statement like, "You all don't even have the original Bible anymore; how can you know what was there?"


But then, I think.... "Well, neither do Muslims have the original Quran. They have COPIES of the original, same as us." How can something be demanded of us that they can't produce themselves. The Quran is not as old as the OT or NT, yet they can't produce an original either.''


Now if you try to look at this objectively, isn't that a fair question? There is not almost one Christian today that say that the Bible is the 100 percent words of God. So a very LOGICAL question drawn from this knowledge is, 'then how do they know what is what?' 'What IS revealed by God and what is not?' These kind of questions is questions of doubt, questions that cannot make belief complete.


And then you use the same 'argument' about the Qur'an - put it too in the same weak position, and that is very things go very wrong. That you could really call a 'contradiction'. You will not hear a sincere Muslim say about the Qur'an what you hear a Christian say about the Bible, since there is not doubts whatsover that the Qur'an IS the 100 percent revealed Words of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.


This is a VERY big difference. To KNOW that you have access to the 100 procent true revealed words of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and to know you have not. It is like two different topics.


So your last sentense here is about 'they cannot produce...' we are not trying to produce anything, since we have the unaltered revelation in our hands. Why should we try to destroy anything? The word of man cannot be better than the Word of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. This knowledge is buried deep, deep down in the mind and heart of the true Muslim believer.


And here is your big barrier, as I understand it from what you write, and that is that if you do not understand the genuiness of the revelation and the compilation of the Qur'an, you will always have the most important part of Islamic knowledge missing. And that is one of the most crucial part to have knowledge about, to be able to gain true knowledge and then true faith.
