joshua the story goes correct until Najashye called the Muslim men and had them listen to the accusations of the Quraishee, he precisely asked them what this religion that made u abandon your family yet u didn’t join my religion?. He asked them what did your Messenger command u of?
They presented Islam as taught to them by Mohamed (PAPBUH) saying that O king we were people of ignorance, worshiped idols, ate dead animals, commit fornication, cut kinship relations, treat neighbors unkindly, and the powerful oppresses the weak party.
Till Allah Sent to us a Messenger from among us. We know his lineage, his honesty, chastity and truthfulness. <b>He called us to Allah, to worship only Allah, he called for the oneness of Allah and to turn away from what we worshiped instead of rocks and idols. </b>
He also commanded us of truth saying, fulfill the trust, maintain kinship relations, kindness to neighbors, and refrain from transgression against blood as well as fornication’s. He also commanded us to refrain from saying falsehood, taking money of the orphan, and slandering chaste women and to worship Allah with no associate or partners. He commanded us to perform prayer, pay alms and fast.
Ja`afar Ibn Abi Taleb (the one selected to represent the Muslims) continued explaining that they believed him and followed what he conveyed to them from Allah. <b>We worshiped only Allah with no associates or partners and he continued.
</b>
He added our people them fought against us aiming seriously to turn us away from our religion. Therefore, we left our country taking asylum in yours. King Najasheey said do u have something of what he came up with? They recited Surat Mariam. The king together with his bishops hardly cried till their beards became soaked wet. Najasheyy said this and what Eassa (Jesus that is his name) came with is coming from the same source just go ahead in the name of Allah I will not turn those people to you and they will not be harmed.
He did not mention his lord being a carpenter. U r really confused Khairan, u r talking about Joseph the carpenter. Plus he did not refer to Jesus as his lord.
joshua let me sum up something for u here. Khairan said Christianity was basis for Islam, I will take this chance to correct him and tell u the correct info Insha Allah:
<b>Allah say in Quran the Deen to Allah (religion is Islam).
</b>
<b>Briefly Allah did not send any of His Messenger and Prophets to call for any religion but Islam. Yes, no Messenger or Prophet, starting from Adam, going through all of them including Mussa and Eassa till Mohamed (PAPBUH) came to call for any other religion but Islam.
</b>
They all called to worship One Allah.
From here we can continue if u want. We can start Insh aAllah setting few points to cover for u one at a time. More than ready to do this.
