The Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, S9(30)


(30)And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (Himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they!

Sura 9
The Jews say, "Ezra (Ozair) is a son of God"; 12 and the Christians say, "The Messiah is a son of God." Such the sayings in their mouths! They resemble the saying of the Infidels of old! God do battle with them! How are they misguided!

Commentary # 12 The Muhammadan tradition is that Ezra was raised to life after he had been 100 years dead, and dictated from memory the whole Jewish law, which had been lost during the captivity, to the scribes. That the Jews regarded Ezra as a son of God is due to Muhammad's own invention.... The Talmudists, however, use very exaggerated language concerning him. Thus, Sanhedrin, 21, 22. "Ezra would have been fully worthy to have been the lawgiver, if Moses had not preceded him." Josephus, Ant. xi. 5, 5, speaks of his high repute (greek text) with the people, and of his honourable burial. Muhammad probably represents the Jews as having deified Ezra with the view of showing that they, as well as the Christians, had tampered with the doctrine of the Divine unity.

Sanhedrin 21b
22 § Mar Zutra says, and some say that it is Mar Ukva who says: Initially, the Torah was given to the Jewish people in Ivrit script, the original form of the written language, and the sacred tongue, Hebrew. It was given to them again in the days of Ezra in Ashurit script and the Aramaic tongue. The Jewish people selected Ashurit script and the sacred tongue for the Torah scroll and left Ivrit script and the Aramaic tongue for the commoners.

23  The Gemara asks: Who are these commoners? Rav Ḥisda said: The Samaritans [Kutim]. The Gemara asks: What is Ivrit script? Rav Ḥisda says: Libona’a script.

24  It is taught in a baraita (Tosefta 4:5): Rabbi Yosei says: Ezra was suitable, given his greatness, for the Torah to be given by him to the Jewish people, had Moses not come first and received the Torah already. With regard to Moses the verse states: “And Moses went up to God” (Exodus 19:3), and with regard to Ezra the verse states: “This Ezra went up from Babylon and he was a ready scribe in the Torah of Moses, which the Lord, the God of Israel, had given” (Ezra 7:6). Just as the going up stated here, with regard to Moses, is for the Torah, which he received from God and transmitted to the Jewish people, so too, the going up stated there, with regard to Ezra, is for the Torah, as he taught Torah to the Jewish people and was suitable to have originally merited to give it.

25  The baraita continues: With regard to Moses the verse states: “And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances” (Deuteronomy 4:14), and with regard to Ezra the verse states: “For Ezra had set his heart to seek the Torah of the Lord his God and to do it and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances” (Ezra 7:10). And even though the Torah was not given literally by him, the script of the Torah was changed by him, as it is stated:

Sanhedrin 22a
1  “And the writing of the letter [hannishtevan] was written in the Aramaic script, and set forth in the Aramaic tongue” (Ezra 4:7). The term “hannishtevan” is similar to the word nishtana, meaning changed, alluding to the fact that the script had been changed. And it is written with regard to the writing on the wall of Belshazzar’s palace: “Then came in all the king’s wise men. But they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation” (Daniel 5:8), and the reason they could not read it is that it was written in the new script that Ezra would transmit. And it is written: “That he shall write for himself a second [mishne] Torah” (Deuteronomy 17:18), where “second [mishne]” teaches that it is written in a script that is apt to be changed [lehishtannot].

Tosefta Sanhedrin 4:5
Rabbi Yosei says, it would have been befitting for the Torah to have been given through Ezra had Moses not preceded him. It is said of Moses "aliyah" ("ascending") and it is said of Ezra "aliyah." It is said of Moses "aliyah" (Ex. 19:3): "And Moses ascended (alah) to God." It is said of Ezra "aliyah" (Ezra 7:6): "He, Ezra, ascended (alah) from Babylon." What is the "aliyah" that is mentioned? 

As to Moses, he taught Torah to Israel, as it is said (Deut. 4:14), "And God commanded me at that time to teach you [laws and statutes, to perform them in the Land into which you are crossing to take possession]." As to Ezra, he taught Torah to Israel, as it is is said (Ezra 7:10), "For Ezra prepared his heart to seek out the Torah of God, and to perform it, and to teach Israel the laws and the statutes." 
But even he was given the authority [to implement] the script and the language [of Scripture, as it is said (Ezra 4:7), "And he wrote a letter written in Aramaic [script] and interpreted (or 'translated') in Aramaic." [This means that] just as it was interpreted in Aramaic, so too it was written in Aramaic. And it says (Dan. 5:8), "And they could not read the writing, etc." It teaches that on that very same day it was given. And it says (Deut. 17:18), "And he is to write for himself a copy of this Torah (or 'teaching')." [This refers to] the Torah of the future, which would change [in script and language]. 

Sura 9
The Jews say, Ezra is the son of God and the Christians say, Christ is the son of God. This is their saying in their mouths : they imitate the saying of those who were unbelievers in former times. May God resist them. How are they infatuated!

Commentary# 1 This grievous charge against the Jews the commentators endeavour to support by telling us that it is meant of some ancient heterodox Jews, or else of some 
Jews of Medina; who said so for no other reason than for that the law being utterly lost and forgotten during the Babylonish captivity, Ezra, having been raised to life after he had been dead one himdred years (see Chap. II.), dictated the whole anew to the scribes, out of his own memory; at which they greatly marvelled, and declared that he could not have done it unless he were the son of God...
A1 Beidawi adds that the imputation must be true, because this verse was read to the Jews, and they did not contradict it; which they were ready enough to do in other instances.

That Ezra did thus restore not only the Pentateuch, but also the other books of the Old Testament, by divine revelation, was the opinion of several of the Christian fathers, who are quoted by Dr. Prideaux..., and of some other writers...; which they seem to have first borrowed from a passage in that very ancient apocryphal book, called (in our English Bible) the second book of Esdras (Cap. xiv. 20, &c.). Dr. Prideaux tells us that herein the fathers attributed more to Ezra than the Jews themselves, who suppose that he only collected and set forth a correct edition of the Scriptures, which he laboured much in, and went a great way in the perfecting of it. It is not improbable, however, that the fiction came originally from the Jews, though they be now of another opinion, and I cannot fix it upon them by any direct proof. For, not to insist on the testimony of the Mohammedans (which yet I cannot but think of some little weight in a point of this nature), it is allowed by the most sagacious critics that the second book of Ezra was written by a Christian indeed (see 2 Esdras ii. 43-47 ; and vii. 28, &c.), but yet one who had been bred a Jew, and was intimately acquainted with the fables of the Rabbins...; and the story itself is perfectly in the taste and way of thinking of those men.

IV EZRA 14. 18-31
xiv. 18-26. EZRA’S PRAYER FOR INSPIRATION TO RESTORE THE SCRIPTURES.
18,19 And I answered and said: Let me speak before thee, O Lord! Lo, I will depart, as thou hast commanded me, and will warn the people who (now) exist: but they that shall be born later, who shall admonish them? 
20 For the world lies in darkness, 
and the dwellers therein are without light. 
21 For thy Law is burnt; and so no man knows the things which have been done by thee, or the 
22 works that shall be done. If, then, I have found favour before thee, send into me the Holy Spirit, that I may write all that has happened in the world since the beginning, even the things which were written in thy Law, in order that men may be able to find the path, and that they who would live at the last, may live. 
23 And he answered me and said: Go thy way, assemble the people and tell them not to seek thee 
24 for forty days. But do thou prepare for thyself many writing-tablets; and take with thee Saraia, Dabria, Selemia, Elkanah, and Osiel, these five, because they are equipped for writings wiftly; 
25 and (then) come hither, and I will light the lamp of understanding in thy heart, which shall not be 
26 extinguished until what thou art about to write shall be completed. And when thou shalt have finished, some things thou shalt publish, and some thou shalt deliver in secret to the wise. To-morrow, at this hour, thou shalt begin to write.

Sura 2
(259)Or hast thou not considered how he behaved who passed by a city which had been destroyed, even to her foundations? He said. How shall God quicken this city, after she hath been dead? And God caused him to die for an hundred years, and afterwards raised him to life. And God said, How long hast thou tarried here? He answered, A day, or part of a day. God said. Nay, thou hast tarried here an hundred years. Now look on thy food and the drink, they are not yet corrupted ; and look on thine ass : and this have we done that we might make thee a sign unto men. And look on the bones of thine ass, how we raise them, and afterwards clothe them with flesh. And when this was shown unto him, he said, I know that God is able to do all things.

Commentary #2  
The- person here meant was Ozair or Ezra, who riding on an ass by the ruins of Jerusalem, after it had been destroyed by the Chaldeans, doubted in his mind by what means God could raise the city and its inhabitants again; whereupon God caused him to die, and he remained in that condition loo years; at the end of which God restored him to life, and he found a basket of figs and a cruse of wine he had with him not in the least spoiled or corrupted; but his ass was dead, the bones only remaining, and these, while the prophet looked on, were raised and clothed with flesh, becoming an ass again, which being inspired with life, began immediately to bray. (J allalo’ddin, Yahya, &c. D’Herbel. Bibl. Orient. Art. Ozair.) This apocryphal story may perhaps have taken its rise from Nehemiah’s viewing of the ruins of Jerusalem. (Nehem. ii. xz, &c.)
(Geroge Sale)

Sura 9
(30) And the Jews say: Azra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the Baying of those who disbelieved before; 1050 Allah destroyed them; how they are turned away!

Commentary # 1050
That there was a sect among the Jews who raised Ezra to the dignity of godhead, or son of God, is shown by Muslim historians. Qastalani says, in the Kitab-un-Nikah, that there was a party of Jews who held this belief. Nor did the Jews deny this allegation. The Qur-an, too, mentions it only here in connection with the Christian doctrine, never blaming the Jews directly in the many controversies with them in the earlier chapters, and this shows that, the Jewish nation as a whole was not guilty of entertaining this belief.

Another explanation of the statement made here is the free use of the word son. Elsewhere the Qur-an says of the Jews and the Christians that they call themselves the sons of Allah and His beloved ones (5:18), the meaning only being that they considered themselves special favourites of the Divine Being. Hence the belief regarding Ezra may be interpreted in the same light, for there is clear evidence that the Talmudists used very exaggerated language concerning him. Among the prophets of Israel, Ezra was specially honoured. In Rabbinical literature Ezra was considered “worthy of being the vehicle of the law, had it not been already given through Moses.” “ He is regarded and quoted as the type of person most competent and learned in the law. The Rabbis associate his name with several important institutions” (Jewish Encyclopedia).
(Muhammad Ali)

[S5(18) And the Jews and the Christians say : We are the sons of Allah and His beloved ones. Say: Why does He then chastise you for your faults? #678 Nay, you are mortals from among those whom He has created; He forgives whom He pleases and chastises whom He pleases; and Allah’s is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and to Him is the eventual coming.
Commentary #678 The divine law of evil being followed with evil consequences in this world had not erased to work at the advent of either Moses or Jesus, hence there was no reason that it should cease to work in the life after death. Yet if the Jews and the Christians were indeed, the beloved ones of God, their sins should not have met with punishment as they did in this very life, not to say in the life after death, in which they asserted they would not be punished. The words contain a dear refutation of the doctrine of atonement. In spite of the Christian’s belief in atonemept, when the Divine law of the punishment of evil in this life was not dispensed with for them, how could it have been dispensed with in the life after death]

Sura 2
(259) Or the like of him who passed by a town, and it had fallen down upon its roofs; he said: When will Allah give it life after its death? So Allah caused him to remain in a state of death for a hundred years, then roused him. He said : How long have you tarried? He said: I have tarried a day, or a part of a day. Said He: Nay! you have tarried a hundred years; then look at your food and drink — years have not passed over it; and look at your ass; and that We may make you a sign to men, and look at the bones, how We set them together, then clothe them with flesh; so when it became clear to him, he said: I know that Allah has power over all things. #348

Commentary # 348
Quote:... That the incident mentioned in this verse relates to later Israelitish history is clear from the following considerations: —
Firstly, from the interpretations given to this verse it appears that by “the town which had fallen down upon its roofs” is meant Jerusalem as it was left after its desolation by Nebuchadnezzar in 599 b.c.

Secondly, the concluding words of this incident, “look at the bones, how We set them together, then clothe them with flesh,” undoubtedly refer to Ezekiel’s vision as related in Ezekiel, ch. 37. The concluding verses of the previous chapter of that book state exactly what is stated in verse 258: “I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate; I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it” (Ezek. 36:36). The first part of ch 37 relates how Ezekiel was taken (in a vision, as I will now show) “in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,” and asked, “ Son of man, can these bones live?” and, after a Divine assurance, Ezekiel is made to witness the scene which is also narrated in the Qur-an: “the bones came together, bone to his bone,” and “the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them above,” and then“ the breath came into them, and they lived” (Ezek. 37:1-10).

The identity of this vision with that narrated in the Holy Qur-An is so clear that I need not dwell upon it any further. That what is narrated in Ezekiel, ch. 37, is a vision is clear from the introductory words of that chapter: “The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord ” — words always used to signify a state of vision. What follows the incident makes it still more clear, for verse 11 (Ezekiel, ch 37) goes on to say: “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost”; while verse 12 gives them the Divine promise, “ Behold, 0 My people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you in to the land of Israel.” This shows conclusively that the bones were only a symbol of the fallen condition of the whole house of Israel. I lay stress upon the word whole in Ezekiel 37:11, because the actual bones were only of the very few among them who were put to the sword, by far the greater number being in captivity or held in a slavish condition in subjugation to the Babylonians. The words of verses 11 and 12 are too clear to need any further comment.

It being thus established that the incident of the bones in Ezekiel, ch. 37, is a vision of the prophet Ezekiel, it is only too clear that the identical incident related in verse (259) now under discussion is also a vision. The Qur-an usually dispenses with words showing an incident to be a vision when either the context or the nature of the incident or a reference to earlier history makes it clear that it is a vision. Compare the words in which Joseph narrated his vision to his father in 12:4: ”0 my lather l surely I saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon — I saw them making obeisance to me,” not making any mention at all that he had seen this in a vision. In the verse under discussion, however, it is not only its identity with Ezekiel 37:1-10 that shows the incident to be a vision, but the insertion of a kaf, signifying likeness, before the whole is a further indication of the same; for otherwise the kaf would be redundant, as some commentators have supposed it to be. If the incident had been a real one, as in the previous verse, the verse should have commenced with the words or him instead of or the like of him, the insertion of the kaf giving the incident the colour of a parable or a vision.

Thirdly, the causing the prophet to remain in a state of death is thus also an incident of the vision which, though not narrated in the Bible, is corroborated by facts, standing symbolically for the death of the Jewish nation, a death of disgrace and sorrow, or the desolation of Jerusalem, which covored a period of almost a hundred years. Jerusalem was taken by Nebuchadnezzar in 599 b.c. (2 Kings 24:10); Cyrus gave permission to rebuild the temple in 537 b.c. (Ezra 1:2), the house being eventually finished in 515 b.c. (Ezra G: 15). The Bible does not give us the history of the period from 515 b.c., and even if we are not allowed to conjecture that another fifteen years may have been taken by the Israelites to settle back in Jerusalem and to rebuild the city itself for their own habitation, the period from 599 to 515 b.c. covers almost fully the whole of the sixth century b.c., and hence the hundred years of Ezekiel’s death in the vision represent the hundred years of the death of the Israelite nation.

I may further add that the reference to the food and drink of the prophet, which did not show any influence of years, and to his ass, which was still standing by, only proves that the hundred years’ death which the prophet underwent was only symbolic death. The mention of the bones has been taken by some commentators to refer to the ass, but this is an obvious error, for the two statements are separated by a sentence : “And that We may make you a sign to men”; and there is also a pause after the word ass  what follows from that which has preceded.

How was Ezekiel a sign to the people? Because the vision made him a symbol of the whole Jewish nation, and his symbolical death for a hundred years represented the sorrows and afflictions of Israel for a similar period, after which they were once more to be restored to life as the prophet was raised from death.
(Muhammad Ali)

The biblical account, Ezekiel 37

1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, 2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And Ianswered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD

The quranic context. 
Sura 9
28 O ye who believe! The idolaters only are unclean. So let them not come near the Inviolable Place of Worship after this their year. If ye fear poverty (from the loss of their merchandise) Allah shall preserve you of His bounty if He will. Lo! Allah is Knower, Wise.
29 Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.
30 And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (Himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they!
31 They have taken as lords beside Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One God. There is no God save Him. Be He Glorified from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)!
32 Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah disdaineth (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse.
33 He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the Religion of Truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religion, however much the idolaters may be averse.

The biblical account, Ezra 7
Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, 
2 the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, 
3 the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, 
4 the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, 
5 the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest— 
6 this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which Yahweh, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to Yahweh his God’s hand on him. 7 Some of the children of Israel, including some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king. 8 He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. 9 For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God on him. 10 For Ezra had set his heart to seek Yahweh’s law, and to do it, and to teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.

11 Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of Yahweh’s commandments, and of his statutes to Israel:

12 Artaxerxes, king of kings,
To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven.
Now 13 I make a decree that all those of the people of Israel and their priests and the Levites in my realm, who intend of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you. 14 Because you are sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand, 15 and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem, 16 and all the silver and gold that you will find in all the province of Babylon, with the free will offering of the people and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem. 17 Therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. 18 Whatever seems good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that according to the will of your God. 19 The vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem. 20 Whatever more will be needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, give it out of the king’s treasure house.

21 I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence, 22 up to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred cors of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much. 23 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

24 Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or laborers of this house of God.

25 You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn’t know them. 26 Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

27 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify Yahweh’s house which is in Jerusalem; 28 and has extended loving kindness to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. I was strengthened according to Yahweh my God’s hand on me, and I gathered together chief men out of Israel to go up with me.

Observation
Is Allah together with its God-partner Muhammad, and Muhammad Ali confusing Ezekiel with Ezra?
S9(28)-(33) is the context within which V30 occurs. To say one is a son of Allah is to say that that son of Allah is equal to Allah. That Ezra's status is regarded as equal to Moses is a high compliment. But to state that Ezra has the same status as Jesus is extreme ignorance. The biblical requirement is quoted below: 
Luke 1
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

What is prescribed in Islam

Fasting, fighting and pilgrimage Sura 2 (183) O true believers, a fast is ordained you, as it was ordained unto those before you, that ye may fear God. (184) A certain number of days shall ye fast: but he among you who shall be sick, or on a journey, shall fast an equal number of other days. And those who can keep it, and do not, must redeem their neglect by maintaining of a poor man. And he who voluntarily dealeth better with the poor man than he is obliged, this shall be better for him. But if ye fast, it will be better for you, if ye knew  it. (185) The month of Ramadhán shall ye fast , in which the Qurán was sent down from heaven, a direction unto men, and declarations of direction, and the distinction between good and evil. Therefore, let him among you who shall be present in this month, fast the same month; but he who shall be sick, or on a journey, shall fast the like number of other days. God would make this an ease unto you, and would not make it a difficulty unto you;...

Allah slaughters little children

The Quran states a lot about Allah. One of the verses quoted below speaks of his creation; and his power in creating by simply saying 'Be'. It also speaks of his will. His will is what we'll consider in this analysis. Sura 6 (73) It is he who hath created the heavens and the earth in truth; and whenever he saith unto a thing, Be, it is. (74) His word is the truth; and his will be the kingdom on the day whereon the trumpet shall be sounded: he knoweth whatever is secret, and whatever is public; he is the wise, the knowing. Sura 6 (136) Those of Makkah set apart unto God a portion of that which he hath produced of the fruits of the earth, and of cattle; and say, This belongeth unto God (according to their imagination), and this unto our companions. And that which is destined for their companions cometh not unto God; yet that which is set apart unto  God cometh unto their companions. How ill do they judge!  (137) In like manner have their companions induced many of the ido...

The Quranic Mandate

Image
https://www.lulu.com/shop/sudhendra-pratap/al-qurans-mandate-sura-8-9 What is the Quranic Mandate? Why do Muslims leave their own islamic countires? And enter and settle in a non-islamic country to live permanently? What does this book bring to light? Let the scriptures speak: They do because they are threatened to do so, as is evident in the following quoted verses of Sura 4: (97) Lo! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves, (the angels) will ask: In what were ye engaged? They will say: We were oppressed in the land. (The angels) will say: Was not Allah's earth spacious that ye could have migrated therein? As for such, their habitation will be hell, an evil journey's end;.. (100) Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful. What is t...

Sodomy, they became fools

Image
Romans 1 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,… 26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%201&version=WEB THE MOHAMMEDAN MISSIONARY PROBLEM. BY THE Rev. HENEY H. JESSUP, D.D., “In the city of Hamath, in Northern Syria, the Christian population, even to this day, are afraid to allow their boys from ten to fourteen years of age to appear in the streets after sunset, lest they be carried off by the Moslems as victims of the horrible practice of Sodomy. Mohammadan pashas surround themselves with fair-faced boys, nominally scribes and pages, when in reality their object is of entirely another character. A young En...

Solomon's Hoopoe

Image
A fairy tale  in the Quran Surah An-Naml (Chapter 27), specifically in verses 20-28 20. And he took a muster of the Birds; and he said: "Why is it I see not the Hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees? 21. "I will certainly punish him with a severe punishment, or execute him, unless he bring me a clear reason (for absence)." 22. But the Hoopoe tarried not far: he (came up and) said: "I have compassed which thou hast not compassed, and I have come to thee from Sabá with tidings true. 23. "I found (there) a woman ruling over them and provided with every requisite; and she has a magnificent throne. 24. "I found her and her people worshipping the sun besides Allah. Satan has made their deeds seem pleasing in their eyes, and has kept them away from the Path,- so they receive no guidance,- 25. "So that they worship not Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what ye hide and what ye reveal. 26. "Allah!- there is no g...

Jesus is the Truth

Image
God's truth can not be hid Sura 10 35 Say: Is there any of your associates who guides to the truth? Say: Allah guides to the truth. Is He then Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who himself does not go aright unless he is guided? What then is the matter with you : how do you judge? 36 And most of them do not follow (anything) but conjecture; surely conjecture will not avail aught against the truth; surely Allah is cognizant of what they do. 37 And this Qur-an is not such as could be forged by those besides Allah, but it is a verification of that which is before it and a clear explanation of the book, there is no doubt in it, from the Lord of the worlds. 38 Or do they say: He has forged it? Say: Then bring a chapter like this and invite whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful.  39 Nay: they reject that of which they have no comprehensive knowledge, and the final sequel of it has not yet come to them; even thus did those before them reject (the truth); ...

Sura 33-the fake Allah's sexual inventory.

Muhammad is the islamic Allah. This sura 33 carries the same proof, of Muhammad not being a prophet, as the sura 24. Sura 24 is a face saving "revelation" after the fact, which provided evidence that the Quran is not the word of the true God. So is sura 33. This particular revelation permits the madman to get his adopted son to divorce his wife in order that he, Muhammad, could marry her. Marriage is a licence to lust. In an attempt to conceal extreme lust, Muhammad abused marriage. And it worked! This madness proves that Muhammad was his own little god. The entire Surat 33 provides for his sexual pleasure. Notice that Allah prays for Muhammad. And the question is: To who is this islamic Allah praying to?  For your convenience, the whole sura is quoted below. Notice his manner of speaking, how he brings about the subject matter, his twisted logic so well spoken, his intermingling of battle and religious and sexual themes.  A master of deception is he! As his own contemporari...

Sura 2(77) - (79), Is the Bible corrupted?

Image
Sura 2 59 But those who did wrong changed the word which had been told them for another saying, and We sent down upon the evil-doers wrath from heaven for their evil-doing. Sura 2  75 Have ye any hope that they will be true to you when a party of them used to listen to the word of Allah, then used to change it, after they had understood it, knowingly. 76 And when they fall in with those who believe, they say: We believe. But when they go apart one with another they say: Prate ye to them of that which Allah hath disclosed to you that they may contend with you before your Lord concerning it? Have ye then no sense? 77 Are they then unaware that Allah knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they proclaim? 78 Among them are unlettered folk who know the Scripture not except from hearsay. They but guess. 79 Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them f...

Sura 25, contradictions

Observation of contradictions Sura 25, prophet, warner. 31 Even so have We appointed unto every prophet an opponent from among the guilty; but Allah sufficeth for a Guide and Helper. 51 If We willed, We could raise up a warner in every village. 52 So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them herewith with a great endeavour. Contradictions Sura 16 36 And verily We have raised in every nation a messenger , (proclaiming): Serve Allah and shun false gods. Then some of them (there were) whom Allah guided, and some of them (there were) upon whom error had just hold. Do but travel in the land and see the nature of the consequence for the deniers! Creation of man from water Sura 25 54 And He it is Who hath created man from water , and hath appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage; for thy Lord is ever Powerful. Contradiction, created from clay. Sura 6 2 He it is Who hath created you from clay , and hath decreed a term for you. A term is fixed with Him. Yet still y...
