Necessary questions to Muslims

ꟷThe following questions are the backbone or the foundation of truth for a religious dialogue between Christians and Muslims; THEY MUST NOT BE OVERLOOKED for the sake of other ones. All other questions are secondary and tertiary to them and so these are the ones that need to be answered FIRST, I would say the ONLY ONES (!) that should be answered, because they determine the basis and completion of the truth concerning whether the God of the Bible is the Allah of the Qu’ran as it claims it is and in turn if Islam is from the God of the Bible or not. When answered with objectivity, one realizes that any more time used to research the religion of Islam as if it supposedly derived from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is simply is futile, even dangerous.

Let's look at the questions.

®The Qur'an emerged about 700 years after Christianity (many claim, even later!). It has been prophesied however in the New Testament, that false prophets would appear in future times with another gospel. Why should we Christians then attach any importance to your Qur'an, when A) it has no continuity with the Holy Bible, it even openly contradicts it by rejecting its basic theology and B) when we find no mention of any historical exception to this prophecy? If God wanted us to become Muslims, would He not prepare us for that?? But nothing, just complete silence on it.

[We point out here, that Mormons (also called Church of the later day saints), also claim the same authority of divine revelation as the Christian religion, and they, like Muslims, act as proofreaders and continuers of the Bible (of the divine revelation), and for the same reason: their (pseudo)prophet Joseph Smith with His "holy" book/s claimed, 1800 years after the New Testament, that an angel appeared to him as well, that he too then is of God and that the Bible is not reliable any more. No coincidence then, that in both Mormonism and Islam an angel appeared and gave new Revelation supposedly, while in the New Testament we are warned about angels of light that may bring another gospel... -To add to that, Mormonism and Islam have no theological agreement, so whose angel spoke the truth?? The Bible’s teachings proves them both to be of the Devil!]

® Allah never spoke to Muhammad directly and never did miracles through him! This is something that would immediately grasp the attention of all our fellow muslims, IF of course THEY KNEW THE GOD OF THE BIBLE.

Think: The allah of the quran claims to be the God (JHWH) of the Bible. But how can this be, when all the prophets of God, in the Bible, were spoken to directly by God and carried on His work as they were directly instructed? Why didn’t he speak directly to Muhammad, but supposedly, only through the angel Gabriel?

    To add to that, Muhammad, is said to never have done any miracle. Why is that? All the prophets of the Bible were directly connected to the supernatural actions of God, why is Muhammad not aligning with them? We find in the quran people rightfully wondering: “Why has no sign been sent down upon him from his Lord?” (Q 6:37). Some made the comparison between Moses and Muhammad and asked “Why has he not been given the like of that Moses was given?” (Q 28:48). The ones that doubted he was a prophet would say: “If only a miracle could come down to him from his Lord (we will then believe)” (Q 13:7 and 11:12).

    I mean, Muhammad supposedly was sent to tell us that Christianity was wrong?? How can God not give His stamp of approval, as He did with all his prophets throughout Biblical history?? It does not make sense.

®The Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, is the First Book of the Bible and testifies to the creation of the world. The Book of Revelation, placed (not by chance) at the end of the book of the New Testament, testifies to the end of the world as we know it. It’s then logical to accept that what God wanted for us Christians, would be written, within that period, that is, between the beginning and the end of the world, between the first and the last book. Doesn’t it seem unreasonable then for us Christians, that God would want to add more writings of His, called The Qur'an, 700 years AFTER the last book, that of Revelation?? One would expect the book of Revelation to have been written AFTER the Qur'an, not before!! - But the canon is closed, so how does a new book open it and with such a different and opposite-in-content information, where -in a few words...- an extremely strange and sinful "prophet" is described, who supposedly reveals the Biblical God and His ways completely different from what He Himself revealed in His Bible? This must be answered. -This brings us to the next necessary question.

®God never changes. The God of the Bible, as Personalities and in His ways/functions, has nothing to do with the Allah of the Qur'an. Why is that, if Allah of the Qur'an, is supposedly the same as the God of the Bible?

®Two thousand years ago, the Apostle of Jesus Christ, John, prophesied in the last book of the New Testament, the Book of Revelation, about two prophets who would make their appearance in the time of the end, before the coming of Jesus Christ. He prophesied nothing about a prophet who would supposedly come to correct and continue God's previous revelation, the integrity of which was supposedly not preserved by God as Islam claims (not the Qur'an itself by the way, it says that best things about the Bible!!). How is such an omission possible?? It is assumed that Muhammad (whose real name is: Qutham) is already now a prophet of the God of the Bible for 1300 years, so why such an incredible silence about his appearance as a messenger of God, while two other prophets who will make their supernatural appearance are testified to?? Shouldn’t this make Christians and Muslims think that there’s something strange being claimed here in regards to the new prophet?

®Why does Muhammad's personality and history, as a supposed prophet of the God of the Bible, have nothing to do with the other prophets and apostles of the Bible, that is, comparing their behaviors, commands and personal relationships with God? (Muhammad even believed that he was possessed by a demon and attempted suicide many times...)

®Islam categorically states that the Qur'an has been guarded by Allah in its first form, as it was given, without any change (in letters, pronunciation, words, etc.). Why then did Allah not keep the rest of his given Word in the Old and New Testaments? -Notice, that this is the accusation against the Bible by the Muslims, which however embarrassingly contradicts the statements of Muhammad for the Divine preservation of the accuracy of the Bible and even authority over the Qur'an!!

®We have just said before, that Islam categorically states that the Qur'an, his spoken message, has been guarded by Allah in its first form, without any change (in letters, punctuation, words, etc.). But the manuscripts of the Qur'an and its more than 30 Arabic versions are CLEARLY DIFFERENT. What is the implication then to this fundamental pillar of Islam, more specifically, for its Allah and his book, since that claim is not verified, but rather, as the evidence cries out, refutes it?

    After these questions and the facts entailed within them, ask yourself, WHY WOULD A KNOWLEDGEABLE CHRISTIAN LEAVE HIS FAITH TO BECOME A MUSLIM??? Do you sincerely find it reasonable??

-Friends, indeed these are the basic and in my opinion, actually the best questions, that every sincere Muslim who loves and fears God, should inquire into and Christians should always present them in conversations with Muslims. Research or dialogue, that does not bring these questions to the table, cannot be considered serious, because they do not lay proper foundations for the truth. When these are truthfully answered, the conversation for every sincere Muslim is over... and Islam will become a thing of the past..

-I wish you find the answers to the above. The true God, that you unfortunately have learned to call “Allah,” will see your sincere heart and He will guide you.
