A BIT OF HISTORY OF ISLAM

• Muhammed M was born in Saudi Arabia in 570 A.D.
• Ms father died before he was born.
• Ms mother died when he was 6 years old.
• Ms grandfather died when M was 8 years old.
• Ms uncle, Abu Talib, a businessman, took custody
  of Muhammed when he was 10.
• Ms first employment was to protect the Kaaba
  along side his other tribesmen.

3

• The Kaaba is a large black stone in Mecca,
  Saudia Arabia. It is today considered to be a
  holy shrine.
• In Ms day it was believed to house pagan idols.
• Ultimately Muhammed became a prominent
  businessman involved in international trade.
• M got his start in Mecca.
• In 595 A.D. during a business trip to Syria, M
  met Khadijah, a well-to-do widow 15 years his
  elder and he married her.

4

• Khadijah was Muhammeds first convert to Islam.
• It is believed that he and Khadijah had a
  monogamous marriage until she died.
• After Khadijahs death M took 11 women as either
  wives or concubines.
• M married his last wife at age 50but she was
  only a child of age 6.

5

• In 610 A.D. (M was 40 yrs old) M had a vision. He
  believed that the angel Gabriel came and gave him
  instructions which are recorded in Surah 961-5
  of the Quran.
• M claimed that he was told by Gabriel that he was
  a prophet, that the world had abandoned true
  worship, and that he was to bring the final
  message to the world.

6
The Message

• 1. All religions on earth were corrupt
• 2. M was to proclaim the worship of the one true
  God, named Allah
• 3. M was to receive the true words of Allah,
  record them, and bring people back to the
  straight path.

7

• The Hadith of Bukheri records that Khadijah
  convinced Muhammed that this was a message from
  Allah, and not a demonic oppression.
• Eventually this day of Gabriels visitation would
  become marked by Ramadan, the most sacred month
  of Islam.
• (See The Popular Encyclopedia of Apologetics,
  ed. Ed Hindson and Ergun Caner, (Eugene, Oregon
  Harvest House Pubs., 2008), pp. 278-281.

8

• In its early days Islam grew slowly since M was
  illiterate and had to use others to record his
  communications with Allah.
• The Hadith is a collection of writings that
  record details of Ms life and teachings.

9

• The first years of Islam were spent in Mecca.
• At one point M claimed to have been taken on a
  night trip into heaven. Here he was introduced to
  all the prophets of Islam.
• Moses and Jesus were included as prophets of
  Islam.
• While in heaven M was taught the details of
  daily prayers and the basics of Islamic faith.

10
THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM

1. The Creed (kalima) must be recited by the
   convert, There is no God but Allah, and Muhammed
   is his final prophet.
2. Prayers (salat) must be offered five times a day
   in strictly prescribed fashion while facing
   Mecca.
3. Alms (zakat) equivalent to 1/40th of ones income
   must be given to the cause of Islam.
4. Regular fasting (sawn) must take place,
   especially during the month of Ramadan.
5. A pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj) must be made during
   the life of every Muslim.

11
ISLAM IS A TOTAL WORLDVIEW

• Islam means surrender or submission.
• Islam does not mean peace as the politicians so
  dearly want us to believe.
• Islam directs every aspect of a persons life
  your beliefs, diet, clothing, music, behavior at
  home and in public, work, politics, etc. which
  means that Islam and democracy are not able in
  any way to co-exist.

12

• Islam demands total submission of unbelievers
  (unbelievers are called the kafir).
• Kafir must pay a confiscatory tax (jizyat), they
  are not allowed to hold a public office, they are
  not allowed to marry Muslim women, but must allow
  Muslim men to marry their daughters, existing
  churches are not allowed buy land or add to
  buildings and can be destroyed at the slightest
  complaint of a Muslim, cannot ring bells, are not
  allowed to evangelize Muslims, Christians must
  allow family members to convert to Islam, etc..

13
Islam has several sects

• Shia followers of Ms son-in-law Ali since M
  had no living sons his blood line would be passed
  down through his daughters.
• Sunni followers of Ms best friend, Abu Bakr.
• Sufi a hinduistic (New Agey) small sect of
  Islam.
• Alawite mostly in Syria.
• Wahabi Mostly Saudi Arabia

14

• Saddam Husein Sunni
• Iran (Persia) Shia.
• Islam repudiates and renounces all other gods
  including the God of Christianity and Judaism.
• The Quran teaches that the 5th and 6th levels of
  hell are reserved for Christians and Jews who
  reject Islam.

15

• Islam insists that Allah is the one true God.
• Allah is transcendent (not personal).
• Allah is completely separate from everything
  else.
• The Bible is corrupt. This corruption led to the
  belief that Jesus was the only begotten Son of
  God. This is called shirk (blasphemy) in the
  Quran, Sura 572.

16
THE QURAN HAS TWO BASIC PARTS

• Part of the Quran was written in Mecca early in
  Muhammads life and before he had his army.
• The Mecca portion of the Quran speaks of peace
  and unity of peoples.
• The second part of the Quran was written later
  in Muhammads life in Medina after he had
  established his brutal army. This part teaches
  that anyone who does not convert to Islam is an
  infidel and must be destroyed. This is Jihad.

17

• What are some Biblical differences between Islam
  and Christianity, between the Quran and the
  Bible?

18
Genesis 131

• 31And God saw every thing that he had made,
  and, behold, it was very good. And the evening
  and the morning were the sixth day.

19
Then came sin and The Curse

• 14And the LORD God said unto the serpent,
  Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed
  above all cattle, and above every beast of the
  field upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust
  shalt thou eat all the days of thy life 15And I
  will put enmity between thee and the woman, and
  between thy seed and her seed it shall bruise
  thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
  Genesis 314-15

20
The seed (Jesus) of the woman (Eve) will one day
crush the head of the serpent (Satan), but the
seed (Jesus) of the woman will only have a
temporary wound at the hand of Satan
crucifixion, but then, RESURRECTION!

• 15And I will put enmity between thee and the
  woman, and between thy seed and her seed it the
  seed of the woman shall bruise thy Satans
  head, and thou Satan shalt bruise his
  Messiahs heel. Genesis 315

21

• Jesus is the true genetic seed
• of the woman.

22
Galatians 44-7

• 4But when the fulness of the time was come,
  God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made
  under the law, 5To redeem them that were under
  the law, that we might receive the adoption of
  sons. 6And because ye are sons, God hath sent
  forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts,
  crying, Abba, Father. 7Wherefore thou art no more
  a servant, but a son and if a son, then an heir
  of God through Christ.

23
Hebrews 214-18

• 14Forasmuch then as the children are
  partakers of flesh and blood, he Jesus also
  himself likewise took part of the same that
  through death he might destroy him that had the
  power of death, that is, the devil 15And deliver
  them who through fear of death were all their
  lifetime subject to bondage. 16For verily he took
  not on him the nature of angels but he took on
  him the seed of Abraham.

24
Hebrews 214-18 continues

• 17Wherefore in all things it behoved him Jesus
  to be made like unto his brethren, that he might
  be a merciful and faithful high priest in things
  pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the
  sins of the people. 18For in that he himself hath
  suffered being tempted, he is able to succour
  them that are tempted.

25

  no end. 34Then said Mary unto the angel, How
  shall this be, seeing I know not a man (virgin)?
  35And 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.

31
Matthew 120-23

• 20But while he Joseph thought on these
  things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared
  unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of
  David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife
  for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy
  Ghost. 21And she shall bring forth a son, and
  thou shalt call his name JESUS for he shall save
  his people from their sins.

32
Matthew 120-23

• 22Now all this was done, that it might be
  fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the
  prophet, saying, 23Behold, a virgin shall be with
  child, and shall bring forth a son, and they
  shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
  interpreted is, God with us.
• Jesus is Emmanuel Who is God with us!
• Jesus is God the Son!

33

• 6And Jesse begat David the king and David
  the king begat Solomon of her that had been the
  wife of Urias
• 16And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary,

• Jesus is the last of the Davidic linehe never
  marr- ied and had no children. He is the end of
  the line!
• The Lord Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah!!!!
• Jesus is GOD THE SON, GOD WITH US!!!!

38

• Islam claims that Jesus was the son of Mary and
  that He was a prophet, but not God the Son and
  not the crucified and resurrected Son of the God
  of the Bible.

39
Islams Quran, Yahya Bin Shamoon

• Muhammed firmly believed that he was the
  prophet of Allah and Jesus was not the Son of God
  and that the Quran was the revealed Word of God
  (see Suras chapters 359, 572, 110-119, and
  1095, 96).
• Muhammed was familiar with the message of the
  Bible.

40

• Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris (May 13, 2005)
• "We have ruled the world before, and by Allah,
  the day will come when we will rule the entire
  world again. The day will come when we will rule
  America. The day will come when we will rule
  Britain and the entire world - except for the
  Jews. The Jews will not enjoy a life of
  tranquility under our rule... the day will come
  when everything will be relieved of the Jews...
  listen to the prophet Mohammad, who tells you
  about the evil end that awaits the Jews 'The
  stones and trees will want the Muslims to finish
  off every Jew.'"

41

• What is the Islamic motivation?There are three
  motivations for the Arab desire to annihilate the
  Jews and retake both Israel and Jerusalem.

42

• 1) A portion of the Koran states that once a land
  has been conquered for Allah, it must remain an
  Islamic land. The Arabs conquered the land and
  city in the Middle Ages when they drove the
  Crusaders out. They now feel compelled by the
  Koran to reconquer it.

43

• 2) The re-establishment of the state of Israel is
  viewed by Muslim clerics as a judgment of God
  upon the Arab peoples for their lack of
  faithfulness to Islam. They must redeem
  themselves from this judgment by returning to the
  fundamentals of Islam and then, having been
  spiritually revived, Allah will empower them to
  regain both the land and the city.

44

• 3) Arabs believe that their control of Jerusalem
  and its Temple Mount will certify their
  superiority over both Judaism and
  Christianity.This kind of thinking cannot be
  reasoned with, it cannot be appeased, it cannot
  be bargained with. Such hatred is evil and
  Satanically motivated in origin.

45
Will the Muslims finally act on their hatred?

• Yes. Ezekiel 38 39 prophecys that Russia
  and the Islamic nations will ally and mount a
  titanic offensive against Israel. At a population
  ratio of 662 to 1, Israel has no chance. But, God
  will personally intervene so the nations will
  know that He is the LORD (397). The slaughter of
  the Russian/Islamic army will be so complete that
  it will take Israel 7 months to bury the dead
  (3912), and the equipment and fuel left will
  supply Israels fuel needs for 7 years (399).

46
Ezekiel 38-39

• Islam will experience a defeat so overwhelming
  and so humiliating that the eyes of millions of
  Muslims will be opened to the fact that Allah is
  a false god. At that point their hearts will be
  opened to the true God - a God of loving kindness
  who came to this earth and died for the sins of
  Mankind.
• He is the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ

47

• How should we pray?1) Let us pray for our
  leaders, that they will be able to discern the
  spiritual nature of the war we are engaged in.2)
  Let us pray for the leaders of Israel, that they
  will turn to God for their protection and stop
  seeking it through America and through trying to
  appease an enemy whose goal is to annihilate
  them.3) Let us pray for the Islamic world, that
  Muslims everywhere will have their hearts opened
  to the Gospel.4) And let us daily cry out from
  the depths of our hearts, "Maranatha!" Come
  quickly, Lord Jesus!

48
Ergun Caner, President of Liberty Theological
Seminary and former Muslim says

• Islam is best understood as a form of Medieval
  Mormonism.
• Joseph Smith and Muhammed assumed the classic
  stance of a cult.
• Both were going to replace and correct
  Christianity.
• Both took the people of the Bible, changed the
  stories of the Bible, omitted what they did not
  like and replaced the rest.

49

• Both Islam and Mormonism change significantly the
  teachings of the Bible.
• Both claim that Jesus was a prophet, but not God.
• Both place their prophet as the final prophet.
• Both deny the vicarious atonement of Jesus
  Christ.
• Both deny salvation is by grace through faith and
  not of works (Ephesians 28-10).
• Both assess a 2nd class status to women, both
  temporarily through polygamy and eternally as
  sexual servants (celestial brides in Mormonism
  and perpetual servant virgins in Islam.

50

• Both teach a different Jesus than the Lord Jesus
  Christ of the Bible.
• The Quran presents a Jesus (Isa) who declares
  his humanity in the cradle (Surah 5), denies his
  own divinity (Surah 19), and prophesies the
  coming of Muhammed (Surah 61).

51

• All cults attempt to either correct Christianity
  or replace Christianity, and all cults view
  themselves as the sole voice for God on the
  Earth. Islam does this as well.
• The Allah of the Quran and the God of the Bible
  have little in common. Islam denies the
  Fatherhood of God, the divinity of the Son, and
  the person of the Holy Spirit.

52

• M was not ignorant concerning the Trinity he
  specifically denied the Trinity, and in so doing,
  denied the God of the Bible. Those in the
  Christian community who desire to use Allah as
  a common name for God ignore a central
  understanding of Biblical salvation. Before a
  person can become saved, he must first recognize
  he is lost. Islam, like all other world
  religions, is not partially right. It is
  completely wrong.

53
THE TESTIMONY OF THE QURAN

• The Quran teaches many truthful ideas about
  the Prophet Jesus of the Bible.
• Three Surahs (chapters) are named after
  references to Jesus the Prophet.
• Jesus is spoken of in fifteen Surahs (93
  verses).
• Jesus is referenced more than any other
  person in the entire Quran!

54
THE QURAN TEACHES

• Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead (349,
  5113),
• Jesus was born of the virgin Mary (345-47,
  2350, 1916-22),
• Jesus brought the Gospel to the Jewish people
  (349-51, 1338),
• Jesus was an apostle and prophet of God (349,
  685-90).

55
THE QURAN TEACHES

• Jesus alone is supported by the Holy Spirit
  (287, 253),
• Jesus alone is called the Word of God (345,
  4171),
• Jesus alone is called the Messiah (345, 4157,
  172).
• Yet the Quran is not the primary and original
  testimony of Jesus.

56

• Many times the Quran states that God sent
  earlier revelations to the Jews and to the
  Christians.
• The earlier revelations referred to in the Quran
  are the Torah (Taurat), the Psalms (Zabur) and
  the Gospel (Injil).
• These earlier revelations give undeniable
  testimony to the God/Man, Lord Jesus Christ!

57
HAVE THE JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES BEEN
CORRUPTED?

• God sent His uncorrupted Scriptures more than
  500 years before the Quran was written.
• He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the
  Gospel (of Jesus) before this as a guide to
  mankind (33-4).
• Say, We believe in the revelation which has
  come down to us and in that which came down to
  you (2946 cf. 689, 2136, 546-47, 7157).

58
MUHAMMAD WAS FAMILIAR WITH GODS REVELATIONS TO
THE CHRISTIANS AND THE JEWS Old and New
Testaments

• Say, O People of the Book! Ye have no ground to
  stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the
  Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to
  you from your Lord (568 cf. 4136, 1094,
  393, 546, 59, 68-69).

59

• It would be impossible for Christians and Jews to
  stand fast by the revelations of the Law and
  the Gospels unless these Scriptures were still in
  their possession during Muhammads lifetime.

60

• Many ancient copies exist of the Law and the
  Gospels that are dated centuries before Muhammad
  lived on the earth!
• Today these writings are known as the Old and New
  Testaments. The ancient manuscripts in Hebrew and
  Greek prove that the Bible of the 21st century
  has not been corruptedit is the same that
  Muhammad said to stand fast in!

61

• Muhammad wrote in the Quran that the Quran was
  sent to confirm the Scriptures that God had
  sent beforehand This is a Book which We have
  sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming
  (the revelations)s which came before it (692,
  cf. 240-41, 89, 91, 33).

62

• The Quran also claims that it guards the
  Scriptures of the Bible (551).
• If the Bible had become so thoroughly corrupted
  as many present day Muslims assert, how could
  Muhammad say that the Quran was to confirm and
  guard it

63
GODS REVELATIONS CAN NEVER BE CHANGED BY MEN

• According to the Quran, it is impossible for
  anyone to change or corrupt Gods revelations
  There is none that can alter the words (and
  decrees) of God (634, cf. 6115) No change
  can there be in the words of God (1064 cf.
  1827).

64

• There is not a single verse in the entire Quran
  stating that the earlier Scriptures have ever
  been changed by men or abolished by God.
• True followers of Jesus believe that God is able
  to protect His Word from all attacks and slander.

65
Matthew 518

• 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and
  earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no
  wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

66
Matthew 2435

• 35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my
  words shall not pass away.
• 2000 years later we still have the Words of
  Jesus!!!!

67
What do the Scriptures say about Jesus?

• The Old Testament prophets tell of Gods
  ancient plan to bless all nations through
  Abrahams descendant, the coming Messiah.
• The Injil testifies that Jesus is this
  Messiah, and that He was crucified, buried, and
  raised from the dead according to the prophets.
• (1 Corinthians chapter 15)

68

• Jesus said These are the words which I spake
  unto you, while I was yet with you, that all
  things must be fulfilled, which were written in
  the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the
  psalms, concerning me (Luke 2444).

69
Old Testament Scriptures Prophecy
New Testament Scriptures
Jesus the Messiah
70

• Messiah Jesus did many awesome miracles of
  healing and deliverance, even raising the dead!
  His greatest sign was His own resurrection from
  the dead!

71

• What was Jesus testimony about Himself in these
  Scriptures that were earlier than the Quran and
  of which Muhammad said the People of the Book
  were to stand fast in them?

72
Jesus said

• I am the bread of life he that cometh to me
  shall never hunger and he that believeth on me
  shall never thirst (John 635).
• I am the light of the world he that followeth me
  shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the
  light of life (John 812).

73
Jesus said

• I am the resurrection, and the life he that
  believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall
  he live 26And whosoever liveth and believeth in
  me shall never die. Believest thou this?
• The Holy Bible King James Version. 1995

74
Jesus said

• I am the way, the truth, and the life no man
  cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7If ye had
  known me, ye should have known my Father also
  and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen
  him (John 146-7).

75
Jesus said

• 11I am the good shepherd the good shepherd
  giveth his life for the sheep. 17Therefore doth
  my Father love me, because I lay down my life,
  that I might take it again. 18No man taketh it
  from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have
  power to lay it down, and I have power to take it
  again. This commandment have I received of my
  Father (John 1011, 17-18).

76
Mark 830-31

• 31And he Jesus began to teach them, that
  the Son of man must suffer many things, and be
  rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests,
  and scribes, and be killed, and after three days
  rise again.

77
Mark 1045

• 45For even the Son of man Jesus came not to
  be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give
  his life a ransom for many.

78
John 219-22

• 19Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy
  this temple, and in three days I will raise it
  up. 20Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was
  this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up
  in three days? 21But he spake of the temple of
  his body. 22When therefore he was risen from the
  dead, his disciples remembered that he had said
  this unto them and they believed the scripture,
  and the word which Jesus had said.

79
John 524

• 24Verily, 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.

80
Revelation 117-18

• 17And when I saw him Jesus, I fell at his feet
  as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me,
  saying unto me, Fear not I am the first and the
  last 18I am he that liveth, and was dead and,
  behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen and have
  the keys of hell and of death.

81
Acts 324-26

• 24Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and
  those that follow after, as many as have spoken,
  have likewise foretold of these days. 25Ye are
  the children of the prophets, and of the covenant
  which God made with our fathers, saying unto
  Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds
  of the earth be blessed. 26Unto you first God,
  having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless
  you, in turning away every one of you from his
  iniquities.

• 15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I
  am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art
  the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17And

  revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in
  heaven.

85
John 11-3, 14

• 1In the beginning was the Word Jesus, and
  the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The
  same was in the beginning with God. 3All things
  were made by him and without him was not any
  thing made that was made. 14And the Word was
  made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld
  his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of
  the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Luke 135

• 35And the angel answered and said unto her
  Mary, 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
  Jesus.

• What about you?
• Do you believe the prophets?
• Do you believe that Jesus was telling the truth
  about Himself when He claimed to be the Son of
  God Who came to take away the sins of the world,
  a claim He proved by His resurrection from the
  dead?

Why did God send us these revelations?

• 31But these are written, that ye might believe
  that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and
  that believing ye might have life through his
  name (John 2031).

John 141-3

• 1Let not your heart be troubled ye believe
  in God, believe also in me Jesus. 2In my
  Fathers house are many mansions if it were not
  so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a
  place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place
  for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
  myself that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 637-40

• 37All that the Father giveth me Jesus shall
  come to me and him that cometh to me I will in
  no wise cast out. 38For I came down from heaven,
  not to do mine own will, but the will of him that
  sent me. 39And this is the Fathers will which
  hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me
  I should lose nothing, but should raise it up
  again at the last day. 40And this is the will of
  him that sent me, that every one which seeth the
  Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting
  life and I will raise him up at the last day.

91
Acts 412-14

• 12Neither is there salvation in any other
  for there is none other name under heaven given
  among men, whereby we must be saved. 13Now when
  they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and
  perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant
  men, they marvelled and they took knowledge of
  them, that they had been with Jesus. 14And
  beholding the man which was healed standing with
  them, they could say nothing against it.
