Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar:
A group of Jews came and invited the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) to Quff. So he visited them in their school.
They said: AbulQasim, one of our men has committed fornication with a woman; so pronounce judgment upon them. They placed a cushion for the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) who sat on it and said: Bring the Torah. It was then brought. He then withdrew the cushion from beneath him and placed the Torah on it saying: I BELIEVED IN THEE AND IN HIM WHO REVEALED THEE.
He then said: Bring me one who is learned among you. Then a young man was brought. The transmitter then mentioned the rest of the tradition of stoning similar to the one transmitted by Malik from Nafi' (No. 4431)." (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 38 (Kitab al Hudud, ie. Prescribed Punishments), Number 4434: http://www.searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=38&translator=3&start=0&number=4434)
What's interesting Muhmmad makes the profession that he believes in the Torah that the Jews believed in and IN HIM WHO REVEALED THEE, which implies he believes in the very concept of their God that happens to be YWH. But yet the Torah states that YWH is a Father to his people and that they are his childern and the Quran denies both.
Isaiah 63:16 But you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us or Israel acknowledge us; you, O LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name.
The Quran denies Allah being a Father and his people being his childern.
Sura 5:18 And (both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are the children of Allah and His loved ones." Say: "Why then does He punish you for your sins?" Nay, you are but human beings, of those He has created, He forgives whom He wills and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and to Him is the return of all.
Question readers should ask themselves how in the world could Muhmmad claim to believe in the very God that the Jews believe when the very basic concept of fatherhood, the Quran denies and Bible affirms?
Wouldn't have Muhmmad known these differences if he was a true prophet?
Good post. I'd say though, that since Isaiah is a part of "the prophets" and not the 5 books of Torah, it'd probably be better to show the Fathership of God from the following verses instead:
ReplyDeleteExodus 4:22 Then say to Pharaoh, 'This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son,
Deuteronomy 1:31 and in the desert. There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place."
Deuteronomy 8:5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
Addtionally if this hadith proves Muhammed only believe in some of the torah but not other parts the same reasoning must be applied to God. "I believe in thee and in HIM WHO REVEALED THEE". Proving Muhammad only believed in some parts of God butt not others e.g Gods fatherhood, sonship etc
ReplyDeleteSo much for muslim reasoning
