Peace be unto you and the mercy and blessings of Allah. May He guide us all to the 'Straight Path.'
Satan the Deceiver has led us far, far astray. Even Muslims, who are closest to the path of Allah, are duped into performing such acts that are not pleasing in the sight of our Lord. In this post I shall discuss how the Devil has corrupted prayer, the greatest pillar.
Muslims do a couple of things wrong while making salat. I shall start with the more obvious offense which is speaking to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) during the prayer. Think! Why should one forsake Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of all the worlds, Who has power over all things, to speak with man who can do nothing? Calling on other than Allah is a grave sin and doing so nullifies your prayer.
The next shall seem very controversial as Satan has manipulated the scriptures so as to make what is evil appear as though it is good. This evil act is bowing and prostrating before Allah!
Indeed there are many instances in the Qur'an that says to bow and prostrate yourself in prayer to Allah. But let us also pay attention to other verses instructing us to pray.
Please read the Muhammad Pickthall translation followed by the Yusuf Ali translation of this ayat from Surah Al-A'raf:
[7:29] (Picktall) Say: My Lord enjoineth justice. And set your faces, upright (toward Him) at every place of worship and call upon Him, making religion pure for Him (only). As He brought you into being, so return ye (unto Him).
[7:29] (Y. Ali) Say: "My Lord hath commanded justice; and that ye set your whole selves (to Him) at every time and place of prayer, and call upon Him, making your devotion sincere as in His sight: such as He created you in the beginning, so shall ye return."
We are instructed to set our face upon Allah when we worship and that when we return to Him (i.e. when we pray) we should be how He created us in the beginning.
How did our Lord and Master Allah, Who originated all of creation, bringing it into being out of nothing, create man in the beginning? What is our nature?
Let us look to Surah Ar- Rum and Al-Baiyinah:
[30:30] So set thy purpose for religion as a man by nature upright--the nature (framed) of Allah, in which He hath created man. There is no altering (the laws of) Allah's creation. That is the right religion, but most men know not.
[98:5] And they are ordered naught else than to serve Allah, keeping religion pure for Him, as men by nature upright, and to establish worship and to pay the poor due. That is true religion.
He has of course created us upright! We are instructed to set our face upon Allah and to return to Him upright as He Created us. If we then bow down and prostrate ourselves, placing our face to the ground and our backs to Allah, Who is the Most High, being far above anything they associate with Him, are we not going against our Lord's command and our very own nature?
You must ask:
[67:22] But then, is he that goes along with his face close to the ground better guided than he that walks upright on a straight way? -
We are instructed to follow the Prophet Abraham (pbuh):
[3:68] Without doubt, among men, the nearest of kin to Abraham, are those who Follow him, as are also this Messenger and those who believe: And Allah is the Protector of those who have faith.
[3:95] Say: "Allah has spoken the truth: follow, then, the creed of Abraham, who turned away from all that is false, and was not of those who ascribe divinity to aught beside Allah." -
[4:125] Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to Allah, does good, and Follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For Allah did take Abraham for a friend.
[16:123] So We have taught thee the inspired (Message), "Follow the ways of Abraham the True in Faith, and he joined not gods with Allah." -
Does he not tell us the answer by example?
[6:79] Lo! I have turned my face toward him Who created the heavens and the earth, as one by nature upright, and I am not of the idolaters.
He too informs us that we should be upright and to put our face to Allah which is our nature. The very nature that you go against when you bow down and prostrate turning your backs to Him while putting your face to the ground. This is a very evil contradiction!
Let us again turn to the 'Sacred Treasury' and hear the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) inform you himself in another excerpt from the chapter 'Muhammad Speaks.'
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
...That what We have revealed in the Qur’an—is a ‘healing and blessing’ to true believers, though it adds ‘nothing but ruin’ to the evil-doers! Allah originates creation, then reproduces it, and He brings forth the living from the dead, and the dead from the living. Most surely there are Signs in this, for a people who reflect. He has power over all things, and He creates what He pleases! You ‘stayed away’ as Allah ordained—till the Day of Resurrection! This is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know!
Behold! It ‘was written’ by them of old, and again ‘it is written!’ Draw near John, for even as Allah is ‘One’ so is the Faith ‘One.’ How many ‘prophecies’ has he corrupted in? How has he violated the Law of Allah? It is written: “For all the Prophets and the Law ‘prophesied’ till John!”…..Surely Allah’s ‘promise’ is True, Search the Scriptures! Now there has come to you a ‘clear proof’ from your Lord, and a Guide. He is the best of you—seeing with the eye and hearing with the ear, and it is necessary against every temptation to ‘strengthen yourself’ with this word! Allah has so said, and Allah so wills!
Prepare you, to receive him, and let us receive correction! The Lord corrected me, even as He wills to correct you. Let us therefore begin anew! Verily, I say unto you that ‘very few’ make ‘True Prayer’—because with ‘their lips’ they honor me! Everyone when he prays ‘speaks with Allah.’ Is it right that you should then ‘leave speaking with Allah’ in order to speak with men? Verily, you have ‘greatly erred’ in calling me! They say: “Allah enjoined it!”….. who bow down and prostrate themselves. He will punish them for their invented lies!
**********
I know not what you ‘particularly’ had in view, but I desire for the future that you do not so—for this desires the devil, that Allah be forsaken for man! I ‘supplicate’ only to my Lord, and I do not associate ‘any’ with Him! I control no hurt or benefit to you. If you would ‘seek Allah’ and make supplication to the Almighty, if you are ‘pure and upright’—surely then He would rouse Himself for you!
Let us ‘stand up’ in Prayer, the greatest pillar! Who can be better in religion than he who submits himself ‘entirely’ to Allah, and follows the Faith of Abraham, the Upright? But what do you do when you make Prayer? O you who believe! Do not confound ‘Truth with falsehood’ and ‘bow down with those who bow down!’ This did not Abraham! Have you no sense? This may indeed be ‘an exacting discipline’—if you are ‘bent’ on evil, but not for the devout!
When Prayer is made to Allah, ‘lift up your heads’—the Lord looks down from Heaven! I was ‘upright’ before him. Is he who goes ‘prone on his face’ better guided? You ‘turn your backs’ on Him! Why do you change your course with so light a heart? Think! Do not ‘hold yourselves above Allah’ for this desires the devil—as here he seeks to be ‘higher than Allah’ and not wishing to recognize ‘anyone above him!’ The same do you when you go to make Prayer!!!
**********
Look to it, and further not ‘this wicked device’—Allah has brought such thing to naught! Are you ‘confident’ that He will not ‘cave in the earth’ beneath you? Shake yourself from the dust and arise, and turn in repentance to your Creator—that would be best for you in His Sight. He is the Forgiving One, and the Merciful! Woe to the hypocrites! They have ‘always’ been attracted ‘downwards.’ So leave them alone to amuse themselves and blunder about in folly, until the Day which they are threatened! On that Day—there shall be faces ‘veiled in darkness’ and ‘covered with dust!’
In the name of Allah, arise up ‘healed’ and let us leave this—if we would not be affrighted in that Day! Lift up your heads, and stand in awe—this is the joy of His Way! On the day that the ‘Hereafter’ comes to be fulfilled, you shall return to Him the way He created you, as one by nature ‘upright’—they shall not be able! Truly I know that it is so, and it is for you to believe therein, or believe not. ‘Above the heavens’—my heart is fixed, seeing the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him! Ask any of them can they vouch for that!...
Let us also look at the Chapter entitled 'Prayer.' It is a letter addressed to our Prophet John (pbuh) to reassure him that he is in the right. Not only does it strengthen his faith but it also allows us to witness him being instructed so that we may learn the truth! Let us pay attention:
PRAYER
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
You to whom the Reminder was revealed! We have sent forth Messengers before you to the older nations. We hold the store of every blessing, and send it down in appropriate measure—We are Allah’s Helpers! Why do you not ‘prostrate yourself?’ Do not be alarmed! We have made known to you ‘the Truth.’ We bring you ‘good news’ of that concerning which they are disputing—they were blundering in madness!
We have seen you turning your face to Heaven—fear not the reproach of men! The Lord’s Throne is in Heaven, and His Countenance does behold ‘the upright!’ Allah has brought you forth ‘from the earth’ like a plant, and to this He shall bear Witness. Stand upright upon your feet, lift up your eyes, and look now toward heaven—that so all men may know to seek Him ‘above all.’ That is ‘the way’—have courage and do not fear!
Verily, We gave the Book to Moses! Does it not teach them a lesson?…..“Thou shall have no other gods before Me, or any likeness of anything that is in the heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath. Thou shall ‘not bow down’ thyself to them, nor serve them!”…..Turn not from Allah, before the face of the vain—who obeyed not Allah’s commands, but took counsel with their own will. We shall gather them all on the Day of Resurrection, ‘prostrate upon their faces’—deaf, dumb, and blind! Hell shall be their home!
**********
Look unto Abraham, your father! Lift up your eyes to heaven, and if you shall offer aright—you will find your brothers praying with you. Will they not teach you and tell you, and utter words out of their understanding? Behold!…..“You are well come, We are waiting for you. Fear not! We lifted Our eyes to heaven, lifting up chaste and undefiled hands unto Him to Whom be glory for ever. The Lord is ‘high above all nations’ and His Glory ‘above the heavens!’ He that goes to Prayer without consideration—mocks Allah. He turns his back to Allah, and his face to Satan!
‘Stand up’—for ‘the enemy’ has magnified himself! Behold, you see them bowing down, and falling prostrate? He has brought them to the ground, and the Lord does not approve! Rather than follow such as ‘though pride and sedition’ have made themselves ringleaders of a detestable emulation—‘stand up’ with all devotion before Allah. As He has taught you that which you did not know! Abraham is Our father, ask him!” …..
**********
….. “My son, indeed this is ‘the order’ and you are highly favored! Let Us pray with your brothers, who are my sons. We, all the Apostles, ask you, ‘Chief of the Apostles’—therefore stand in front of me to pray. You now have more right than We to lead in the Prayer! Peace be with you, ‘Favored One’ and my peace shall be with you forever. No blame will be attached to you for any course that they may deem fit to pursue—who have said to your soul: “Bow down!”…..they are full of the fury of the Lord! Surely Allah is Merciful to Mankind, but most men do not give thanks!”

The Shahada
Peace be unto you and the mercy and blessings of Allah. May He guide us all to the 'Straight Path.'
Muslims today are led astray by false teachings about some of the most crucial aspects that pertain to our salvation. In this post I shall discuss the shahada or declaration of faith.
We are taught by our "wise men" when we enter Islam that we must say:
"There is no God except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah."
Muhammad (pbuh) is the Messenger of Allah, yet we enormously transgress in saying this in our declaration of faith. For if the shahada is the saying that saves our soul then why should anything else be necessary then declaring to Allah that He alone is our God and the only one worthy of worship? It is as if you are ascribing a partner unto Him, the gravest and only unpardonable sin!
This is indeed placing a distinction on the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), for Jesus (pbuh) was the Messenger of Allah, as well as Moses (pbuh) and Abraham (pbuh) and all of the Prophets (peace be upon them). It is not right that we single out the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). This we are warned of in the Holy Qur'an.
[2:136] Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the Prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.
You may have some doubt in your mind and think why should I listen to a man such as you instead following my Imam? Indeed you do not have to take my word for it, but will you not believe the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) tell you this himself?
The following is an excerpt from 'The Sacred Treasury' in the chapter entitled 'Muhammad Speaks.'
MUHAMMAD SPEAKS
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Listen, ‘you’—who form one vast congregation, and follows this ‘middle path!’ Why have you made me your mark? I have been ‘pointed out’ as the foremost of those who ‘dwell in virtue’ and yet—I do not think in this wise! There is only One God, Allah, but tell me, what means the message of these words?….. “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah!”…..I have heard this, ‘your doctrine’—“It is sealed!”…..but I hold that it cannot be final!
Think! Why is it just this, my name? You must ask! ‘Distinction’ is still perceived, and there is no ‘real abandonment’ of egoism. I bear no such witness, and this is indeed an ‘unfair distinction!’ There is no God, except Allah! This is sufficient for man’s salvation, and this has He caused ‘all’ the Prophets to say. Did you think perchance that Allah sent me to destroy the Law and the Prophets? For they all consider John a Prophet, what—do you think I will not? How should I ‘not’ have told you?
Be not deceived! Verily, I say unto you: “The scribes and doctors have made void the Law of Allah with their false prophecies!”…..Contrary to the prophecies of the True Prophets of Allah—they follow nothing but conjecture and what their ‘own souls’ desire. But ‘after me’ shall come ‘the Splendor’—of all the Prophets and Holy ones, and shall spread ‘Light’ upon the Darkness of all that the Prophets have said. Hear it and know it for your good!
**********
Let all ‘my household’ come together, that I may tell them everything—as much as is according to the Lord’s will! I have been let come to you Today, and announce to you of a man ‘made big’ for you. You hear the words of ‘my lips’ as I heard the words of the Lord! It is ‘most true’ as Allah lives, Who seeks to hinder ‘all evil’ and whoever seeks to ‘hinder him’—he seeks the devil! For this is from the Lord’s lips, it is let out ‘in measure’ and does not exhaust ‘the Treasure houses.’ Let it be heard everywhere—my vindication is at stake!
All this He measured, and thus do I make known to you: “There is no oath in me!”….. Deceive not yourselves, for there has been ‘previously prepared’—a place for every soul of man! But Allah ‘does support me’ and has suffered me that I should speak unto you. See the moon? The Day of ‘my term and the time’ has approached! It is my time to depart, and this child—who is now born, he that knows the mystery ‘hard to attain’—he shall shine forth as a ‘sun of Knowledge’ to destroy the ‘darkness of illusion’ in this world!
Bursting forth with the ‘water of Wisdom’—he shall ‘break open’ for the escape of living beings, that door whose ‘bolt’ is desire, and whose ‘two leaves’ are ignorance and delusion! Follow him that you may be ‘rightly guided’ and you will not remain subject to others. He is ‘wise in heart’ and they ‘know not!’ Listen all of you for your own happiness, with your mind free of stain!
**********
What! Do you think he would say what is untrue? Why? That his selfhood would be large? Selfhood indeed! I swear to you: “W’allah!”….. he has not directed his words against me, and no fear of me need terrify you! You say: “He finds occasion against me, and he counts me as the enemy.”….. in this you are not right! Why do you contend against him? Don’t you know that the Messiah ‘must come?’
Know therefore—in the Faith of the Messiah, shall be saved everyone who is ‘elect of Allah!’ By His will, I tell you: “This is he!”….. Believe it! He has reached the ‘furthest limit’ of instruction, and he is ‘the guide’ to all the Law—the Teacher, the great Seer—he that is possessed with all ‘distinctive marks’ and adorned with all signs! Since I have been glorified in this manner before ‘this time’—listen to me, the ‘Unlettered Prophet’—who believes in Allah and His Word!
Surely Allah’s Anointed is before Him! Look now, for indeed he is an holy one of Allah. Look not upon his countenance nor the height of his stature—for Allah sees not as man sees. For man looks to the outward appearance, but the Lord looks to the heart! What do you behold? Verily, he has knowledge of what is hidden and what is manifest—for the eyes see His Works, and the ears hear His Thoughts! If you will not harden your hearts, surely these things shall be made known to you. Give no heed to the disbelievers, they desire you to overlook ‘their doings’—that they may compromise!
**********
In what has ‘the Messenger’ done amiss? It is ‘all one!’ What is it he declares? Did I not bid you ‘praise Allah?’ What is it he attempts at dissolving? I say unto you: “I regard not myself, believe in Allah!”….. Do you know ‘the meaning of the Book’—according to the Truth, which is in Allah? How is it that you don’t keep the Commandments of the Lord? Take a Book in your hand and write what the Lord says! Can ‘they’ write it down? Consider! How is it written such as no man on earth wrought before or ever will work? May you ‘receive his doctrine’ for Truth. I will receive ‘his doctrine’ and ‘my lot’ with him, and be of good cheer that we should come to trial together!
Which of you desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost—whether or not he has enough to complete it? Otherwise when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish it, all that see him mock him saying: “This man began to build, and was unable to finish!”….. I, a just man, am a ‘laughingstock’—for I am revealed to you building a house that is very valuable to you, in order that you may be saved! Although it has been in ‘the process of construction’ from that time until now—it has not reached its completion!
The ‘tents of robbers’ are at peace, those who provoke Allah are secure, and ‘no part of Mankind’ is left in our subjection, but on the other hand—they all ‘boldly defy us’ nor is there a tear in any of their faces! Behold, these nations ‘reputed as nothing’ domineer over us and devour us. How long is this to be so, and why have you not considered in your mind what is to come? Where is your ‘victory?’ Where is ‘your sting?’ is the ‘chief prize’ of my Family secure? There ‘must’ be more than this! If you will not believe, surely you will not be established!...

Jesus (pbuh) is a Muslim according to the Bible
Peace be unto you and the mercy and blessings of Allah. May He guide us all to the 'Straight Path.'
Islam means peace by way of submission to the will of Allah. A Muslim is one who submits his will to Allah's will. In this post, insh'Allah, I shall illustrate that according to Jesus' (pbuh) own words from the Bible, he is a Muslim, submitting his will to Allah's just like every other Prophet (peace be upon them all).
John 6:38
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
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.
These two verses already clearly illustrate that Jesus (pbuh) submits his will to Allah's which is the very definition of the word Muslim! He even gives the Islamic greeting, salaam wa leikum or peace be unto you:
Luke 24:36
And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
According to Jesus (pbuh), all Muslims are his brothers and sisters:
Matt 12:48-50
48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
The main tenet of Islam is: "There is no God except Allah." Islam preaches the oneness of God and exhorts us to worship and serve only Him. In the Bible, Jesus (pbuh) does as well:
Mark 12:29
29 "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Only- without others or anything further; alone; solely; exclusively
John 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
Jesus (pbuh) calls God the ONLY (without others or anything further; alone; solely; exclusively) TRUE God. Therefore, God is alone, solely and exclusively God, because with others or anyone further, it is not the TRUE God. This statement as well as Mark 12:29 is enough to disprove the false doctrine of the trinity and shows that Jesus (pbuh) taught us to believe in the oneness of Allah, not associating any with Him, which is the key to eternal life. And of course that we should worship only Him:
Luke 4:8
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him ONLY shalt thou serve.
As a Muslim, we believe that Jesus (pbuh) did not die on the cross but his persecutors were caused to believe that he was.
4:157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
To clarify, Webster's online dictionary states that the definition of the word crucify is to kill by fastening to the cross.
crucify - kill by nailing onto a cross;
Therefore the Islamic view based on the above verse from the Holy Qur'an is that Jesus (pbuh) did not die on the cross and not that he was never placed on the cross. Jesus (pbuh) himself tells us by way of parable in the Holy Bible that he does not die on the cross, entirely supporting what the Holy Qur'an reveals and what Muslims today believe!
Matthew 12:38-40
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Here Jesus (pbuh) clearly says what the only sign these people are going to be given. So as Jonah (pbuh) is in the belly of the whale, so to shall Jesus (pbuh) be in the heart of the earth, in other words, inside the tomb. If we look at the story of Jonah (pbuh) we see that while Jonah (pbuh) was in the belly of the whale he was alive. When he was vomited back on to land he was still alive. So for Jesus to fulfill this prophecy, he too would also have to be alive while he was in the tomb for three days. If he was dead, it would not be like Jonah (pbuh) because Jonah (pbuh) was alive! Therefore Jesus (pbuh) would not have died on the cross.
Here you may find further evidence for this:

Jesus (pbuh) did not teach us that salvation depended on believing in him dying for our sins on the cross but, just as in Islam, that we must believe in Allah and obey the commandments to gain eternal life.
John 5:24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Jesus (pbuh) says that he who believes on the One who sent him shall have eternal life and not be condemned. In other words if you believe in Allah you shall be saved.
Matthew 19:16-17
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 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.
Even more so, he says no one will enter heaven unless they submit their will to Allah's, the definition of Muslim!
Matt 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
As you can see from Jesus' (pbuh) own words, he was a Muslim, submitting himself to the will of Allah.
Peace be unto you and the blessings of Allah.
Islam means peace by way of submission to the will of Allah. A Muslim is one who submits his will to Allah's will. In this post, insh'Allah, I shall illustrate that according to Jesus' (pbuh) own words from the Bible, he is a Muslim, submitting his will to Allah's just like every other Prophet (peace be upon them all).
John 6:38
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
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.
These two verses already clearly illustrate that Jesus (pbuh) submits his will to Allah's which is the very definition of the word Muslim! He even gives the Islamic greeting, salaam wa leikum or peace be unto you:
Luke 24:36
And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
According to Jesus (pbuh), all Muslims are his brothers and sisters:
Matt 12:48-50
48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
The main tenet of Islam is: "There is no God except Allah." Islam preaches the oneness of God and exhorts us to worship and serve only Him. In the Bible, Jesus (pbuh) does as well:
Mark 12:29
29 "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Only- without others or anything further; alone; solely; exclusively
John 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
Jesus (pbuh) calls God the ONLY (without others or anything further; alone; solely; exclusively) TRUE God. Therefore, God is alone, solely and exclusively God, because with others or anyone further, it is not the TRUE God. This statement as well as Mark 12:29 is enough to disprove the false doctrine of the trinity and shows that Jesus (pbuh) taught us to believe in the oneness of Allah, not associating any with Him, which is the key to eternal life. And of course that we should worship only Him:
Luke 4:8
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him ONLY shalt thou serve.
As a Muslim, we believe that Jesus (pbuh) did not die on the cross but his persecutors were caused to believe that he was.
4:157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
To clarify, Webster's online dictionary states that the definition of the word crucify is to kill by fastening to the cross.
crucify - kill by nailing onto a cross;
Therefore the Islamic view based on the above verse from the Holy Qur'an is that Jesus (pbuh) did not die on the cross and not that he was never placed on the cross. Jesus (pbuh) himself tells us by way of parable in the Holy Bible that he does not die on the cross, entirely supporting what the Holy Qur'an reveals and what Muslims today believe!
Matthew 12:38-40
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Here Jesus (pbuh) clearly says what the only sign these people are going to be given. So as Jonah (pbuh) is in the belly of the whale, so to shall Jesus (pbuh) be in the heart of the earth, in other words, inside the tomb. If we look at the story of Jonah (pbuh) we see that while Jonah (pbuh) was in the belly of the whale he was alive. When he was vomited back on to land he was still alive. So for Jesus to fulfill this prophecy, he too would also have to be alive while he was in the tomb for three days. If he was dead, it would not be like Jonah (pbuh) because Jonah (pbuh) was alive! Therefore Jesus (pbuh) would not have died on the cross.
Here you may find further evidence for this:

Jesus (pbuh) did not teach us that salvation depended on believing in him dying for our sins on the cross but, just as in Islam, that we must believe in Allah and obey the commandments to gain eternal life.

Jesus (pbuh) says that he who believes on the One who sent him shall have eternal life and not be condemned. In other words if you believe in Allah you shall be saved.
Matthew 19:16-17
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 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.
Even more so, he says no one will enter heaven unless they submit their will to Allah's, the definition of Muslim!
Matt 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
As you can see from Jesus' (pbuh) own words, he was a Muslim, submitting himself to the will of Allah.
Peace be unto you and the blessings of Allah.

The Mahdi and the Messiah
Peace be unto you all and the mercy and blessings of Allah. May He guide us all to the 'Straight Path'.
As I said in my first post, many people are aware due to all of the signs that have occurred in succession this past 100 years that we are currently living in the end times. That being the case, the Muslims are awaiting the Mahdi and the return of the prophet Jesus (pbuh), the Christians are awaiting the return of Jesus (pbuh) and the Jews are awaiting the Messiah. In this post I will inform you of the hidden knowledge in the scriptures regarding all this and by the time you finish reading this post, insh'Allah, you will know that I am truthful and am indeed knowledgeable about these facts.
In truth the Mahdi is the Messiah and is the last Prophet to mankind. I will illustrate through the scriptures who he is and why the people of today are completely unaware of the fact that the Prophethood continues as well as the revelations of Allah and they did not end with the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Please read this parable from the Holy Bible:
Matt 13:24-30–24) Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25) but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26) But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27) So the servants of the owner came and said to him, `Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?' 28) He said to them, `An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, `Do you want us then to go and gather them up?' 29) But he said, `No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30) Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."
The owner of the field is Allah and the field represents the scriptures. The servants of the field are Allah's messengers, the Prophets, who all put forth good seed or truthful words. Our enemy, the devil, put the tares in the field, or the false words of the scribes. Now is the time of harvest when the wheat or good words are separated from the tares and then put together to form the Book, The Sacred Treasury.
Every word of the Book comes from all the other books that contain actual revelation. Whether it be the Torah, the Bible, the Qur'an, Book of Mormon, Dead Sea Scrolls, Nag Hammadi Library, Rig Vedas, Buddha Text, Gnostic Gospels, and many more. Many of these books have the true words of Allah that He spoke through His Prophets but they are mixed in with the words of man. Allah knew this was going to happen and it is His Messiah or Christ which both mean Anointed or Chosen One's duty, to recognize these words, by the power of Allah and bring them together so that we may all see the Truth.
Because of the tares that were placed in the field, or the false words that were placed in the scriptures, we are completely unaware that there is a Holy Prophet sent to us in this day and that he is the Messiah! Shaytan has been successful in deceiving mankind and has led us far astray. He has caused both Muslims and Christians to believe Jesus (pbuh) to be the Messiah in the hopes that they will not recognize the true Messiah when he comes. Not only have the scribes given this Prophet's title to another, but they have also written him off as dead for that same purpose- to make sure that we are not looking for him and do not accept him when he comes.
That man is none other than the Prophet John (pbuh) whom we all believe to have come and gone in the person of John the Baptist. Let us look to the scriptures:
Matt 11:13
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Luke 16:16
The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.
Here John is set as a distinct barrier, but the words are changed to past tense so we think that the time has already come and gone so that we do not look forward to it. The scribes even boasted of this feat by claiming he was beheaded, when in fact he is the head of Prophecy, the True Messiah and the Mahdi who shall restore religion to it's original form, void of man's manipulations.
He shall do this by the means explained in the parable above, separating the wheat from the tares and gathering them together. The Sacred Treasury, that has been formed by this means, is an eloquent Qur'an and a distinct explanation of all things. It is the gift of Allah and by following the Book and the Messenger we shall find Eternal Salvation.
I will show you an example of this separation and the means by which the Book came into being. Please read only the highlighted words in the following excerpt from the Holy Bible.
John 5:28-47
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 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. 31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 33 Ye sent unto John and he "bare" witness unto the truth., 34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. 35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. 36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 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. 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41 I receive not honour from men. 42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? John 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
As you can see, the true words of the Prophets have been cut up and spread out so that scarcely is the Truth found. What was presented above, is the prophet Jesus (pbuh) speaking to us. In this manner, through the Book, he comes alive and testifies to us which is his second coming! In fact all the Prophets come to life in the Book which is also alive and testify to the Truth of the Messenger. This is something which is alluded to in the Holy Qur'an, chapter 3 verses 81 to 82.
81 Behold! Allah took the covenant of the prophets, saying: "I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you an apostle, confirming what is with you; do ye believe in him and render him help." Allah said: "Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses. 82 If any turn back after this, they are perverted transgressors."
Jesus (pbuh) says in the previous quote from the Holy Bible that John is the Prophet which is to come into the world. We should be expecting a Prophet because every Prophet spoke of the Messiah, or final Prophet. This Prophet is described in Deuteronomy and likened unto Moses (pbuh).
Muslims believe the Prophet who was to come like unto Moses (pbuh) is Muhammad (pbuh) while Christians believe that it is Jesus (pbuh). Well what would make one like unto Moses (pbuh)?
Moses (pbuh) had a natural birth, he had a brother among other siblings and being educated in Pharaoh's house, he could read and write, he became a Prophet when he reached maturity and he died a natural death. His people were enslaved in a land not theirs for 400 years.
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), although having a natural birth, was an only child and in fact an orphan. He could neither read nor write and his people were not enslaved. The prophet Jesus (pbuh) had a miraculous birth, never reached maturity (40 years of age) and according to both Christians and Muslims did not have a natural death.
The Prophet John (pbuh) as, insh'Allah, you will come to know, had a natural birth, has one brother among other siblings, can read and write, became a Prophet after reaching manhood, and his people were enslaved and oppressed in another land for 400 years. He is the Prophet who is to come like unto Moses (pbuh) whom we should hear in all things, whom Allah has placed His words into his mouth, that he speaks in Allah's name and that we are required to hearken unto. He is the True Messiah!
Peace be unto you all and the blessings of Allah.
As I said in my first post, many people are aware due to all of the signs that have occurred in succession this past 100 years that we are currently living in the end times.

How then does it have tares?' 28) He said to them, `An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, `Do you want us then to go and gather them up?' 29) But he said, `No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30) Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."
The owner of the field is Allah and the field represents the scriptures. The servants of the field are Allah's messengers, the Prophets, who all put forth good seed or truthful words. Our enemy, the devil, put the tares in the field, or the false words of the scribes.

John 5:28-47
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 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. 31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 33 Ye sent unto John and he "bare" witness unto the truth., 34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. 35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. 36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 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. 38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41 I receive not honour from men. 42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? John 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

Deuteronomy 18:18-19
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him. 19 And it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him.
Also in Acts 3:22:
22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
Moses (pbuh) had a natural birth, he had a brother among other siblings and being educated in Pharaoh's house, he could read and write, he became a Prophet when he reached maturity and he died a natural death. His people were enslaved in a land not theirs for 400 years.

Peace be unto you all and the mercy and blessings of Allah. May He guide us all to the straight path.
Allah is not only the Arabic word for God, which literally translates to the God, is genderless, and cannot be made plural, but is the perfect way to express the One and only God and it is His proper name.
Our Creator blessed us with existence and life only that we may submit to Him and worship and serve only Him. The adversary wishes for us not to recognize Him nor render praise and honor to Him Whom alone it is due. God is not a name but a title. It is easy for us to worship a false god if you are not aware of His true name. Because of this, many people today are not even aware of our Creator's name. It is Allah Who is most Gracious and most Merciful.
This of course is not hidden knowledge as many people are aware of this, however it is the most crucial fact that you should be aware of. I will provide you with reliable links that illustrate this fact so as to help those of you who may have trouble accepting this fact.

Many Christians may still be skeptical of believing in Allah. They should realize that Jesus (peace be upon him) spoke Aramaic. If they follow the following link to an Aramaic lexicon and type in the word God they will se that In Jesus' (pbuh) own language, the word for God is indeed Allah.

Hidden Knowledge
Peace be unto you all and the mercy and blessings of Allah (God). May He guide us all to the 'Straight Path.'
Those who are aware of the signs of their Lord know indeed that we are now living in the end times, at the culmination of which all people shall be united as one peaceful nation who believe in Allah and do good and they shall live in joy and prosperity until the end of the world. Since the creation of mankind, Satan, the avowed enemy of man, has worked and plotted against us so that we might fall away from the path of the Almighty and reject His many favors and abundant mercy that He has granted us. Do not think that in all the time from our creation until this day, near the end of time, that the wicked Devil has not been successful in leading us astray.
In reality, today not a single person on Earth is aware of the Truth, aside from the man whom Allah had chosen to lead us into the Light. I tell you now that I am not he, yet that man has taught me. In this blog I shall share with you certain knowledge that has been hidden away from us so that you will be able to recognize that man when he reveals himself to you and tells you to follow him unto all Truth. Insh'Allah (God-willing) you will take heed!
Peace be unto you all and the blessings of Allah.
Those who are aware of the signs of their Lord know indeed that we are now living in the end times, at the culmination of which all people shall be united as one peaceful nation who believe in Allah and do good and they shall live in joy and prosperity until the end of the world. Since the creation of mankind, Satan, the avowed enemy of man, has worked and plotted against us so that we might fall away from the path of the Almighty and reject His many favors and abundant mercy that He has granted us. Do not think that in all the time from our creation until this day, near the end of time, that the wicked Devil has not been successful in leading us astray.
In reality, today not a single person on Earth is aware of the Truth, aside from the man whom Allah had chosen to lead us into the Light. I tell you now that I am not he, yet that man has taught me. In this blog I shall share with you certain knowledge that has been hidden away from us so that you will be able to recognize that man when he reveals himself to you and tells you to follow him unto all Truth. Insh'Allah (God-willing) you will take heed!
Peace be unto you all and the blessings of Allah.
