  1. Salaam Paul, if you’re so busy, I offer my service to delete the inappropriate comments made by filthy christians.

    • Which is the filthy religion which advocates paedophilia, bestiality, wife-beating, gang-raping children? You’re degenerate pond life pathetically idolising a vicious, racist, white warlord and a god that doesn’t exist. Get a grip low IQ fool. Learn your own scripture. You’re lower than dog excrement!

    • Donald Trump 666 is the “Father of Lies”, “Great Deceiver”, Lawless One”, D’evil, Antichrist.

      Google: “7 Seals” revealed as Beyond Einstein Theories (Blogspot). Only the Returned Christ & Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce that. It’s triggered The Apocalypse/Revelation which is NOT the ‘end of the world’.

  2. Except it is mostly Faiz and mr.heathcliff and sometimes stewjo004 that make inappropriate comments.

  3. Except it is mostly Faiz (QuranandBibleblog) and mr.heathcliff and sometimes stewjo004 that make inappropriate comments.

  4. “…The Noble Qur’an [cf. 2:148] extends its principle of pluralism also to adherents of other faiths. It affirms that each has a direction and path to which they turn so that all should strive for good works, in the belief that, wheresoever they may be, Allah will bring them together…” — https://www.iis.ac.uk/content/word-god-art-man-qur-and-its-creative-expressions

  5. Assallam alcome brother Paul.
    Today you had a question about “Prologue to John” (John 1:1–18) which deals with Jesus, the “Word made flesh” .in islam we believe that jesus was the word of God. Meaning the word is be and he was , I believe the the prologue to John has been altered but may be originally of a similar meaning . May Allah guide you and give you great health and keep you going with you chanel I love it and I wish you alla the best.
    King regards
    Ibrahim elssallay

    • The Word became flesh and dwelt among us! How true because that is what happens to any human being! We, as humans, are a word and ALLAH created us by saying BE and we became and at some point in time we enter the flesh and dwell not seperately but with each other and so we dwell among ‘us’!
      For evidence of this or at least in part see the hadith of when the soul enters the physical growing baby (at 120 days) and so we as a word enter into flesh or ‘become flesh’ ready to react and inter-react with our fellow man.
      But not being the prominant word and not reaching that station of prophethood, we are not THE WORD but just a word as we came into existance from HIS EXPRESSION that we be brought forth! Hope that answers the question and demistifies that what people have turned into some magical thing.

  6. I wish to know the response of a philosopher of science to an Egyptian Sheikh Named ” Abul Feda’ Ibn Mass’oud ” who claims that all of western science is rooted in metaphysical naturalism and that the foundations of it should be revised (some of it should be rejected) by appealing to Ibn Taymiyyah’s writing
    Here are some links to the Sheikh’s books and lectures

  7. Hello.

    I am a muslim, and author of few articles that you might find very useful in a number of fundamental matters, including the simple question of what is religion, and translation of the Quran. I am a private individual, and therefore I did not provide you with a valid email. For the articles, take a look at “communities.win/c/Theology”. They are the ones titled “What is Religion. Lesson xx: …”

    Feel free to post those articles on this website, under the name “anonymous”, or something similar. I am unsure whether they should be made clear that they are from a mulsim or not, because they are not meant for muslims only.

    I was unable to find your email. If you desire direct contact with me, let me find your email, and leave a reply here but only after you read the articles. I shall be checking back later and at some point will ask you to remove this comment and its replies.

  8. I am running into an impasse and am looking for advice. I came to accept Islam through a door that few enter. I wanted to reach out to Muslims that understand the Bible to explain. The Bible is based on two primary faith decrees. The first is the covenant of Abraham, Old Testament (as it states Abraham’s righteousness was through his faith in God). The second is the belief that Jesus is alive and will one day return (New Testament). While the second covenant is believed by Christianity, the faith of Abraham is not truly believed by Jews or Christians and not understood by Islam. My first dilemma as a Christian (in the days I was a Zionist) is that accordance to the prophecy in 1 Chronicles 5:2 the Jews did not inherit the covenant of Abraham, known as the Biblical Land deed through which all of Zionism is based, rather the covenant went to Joseph of whom Christianity and Judaism reference as the lost tribes. Who incidentally were only lost because King Ahaz of Judah took the money from the temple in Jerusalem and sold Israel (aka Joseph) to the Assyrian Empire. During that time, they were disbursed throughout the Middle East and unquestionably today are Arabs. In line with the promise, they are many nations from the Nile to the Euphrates, many Kings, and a people like the stars of the Sky. Joseph was also unrecognized by his brothers so it makes since that the Arabs too would remain unrecognized and of course there is a Divine element involved in that by calling themselves Ishmael God has kept their identity hidden. Yet God told Abraham Ishmael would never share in the promise of Isaac and that Isaac’s descendants, not Ishmael’s would be named after Abraham. Thus, to believe the promise is to also believe that the Arabs are the legal heir of the birthright in direct opposition to all of Zionism. I realize that to grant any one legal right to a piece of land based on ethnicity is inherently racist, except because race matters to a racist and the Zionists are racists if they believed the Arabs were Joseph, they would have to love them. So, the identity of who the Arabs are creates an upheaval in all Zionists beliefs. According to prophecy God told Israel that when Israel stopped worshiping idols, he would expand them to the east and the west. After the arrival of Islam all the prophecies of the Abrahamic Covenant were fulfilled through the Arab people. To this day in direct contrast to the Jews they are many nations between the Nile and the Euphrates, many kings, and a people like the stars of the sky. Islam and the freedom of the Arab people are tied together and thus testify that Islam is from Allah. Afterall how many prophets did God send to Israel who failed, yet would he really succeed through a false prophet? Of course not. Also because of his success he becomes the last prophet as no other prophets are now required. I could go on in great detail, but it is difficult to watch the events in Gaza knowing the Bible was written for the Muslim, seeing it as the greatest weapon in their arsenal and yet the deed is very rarely refuted against the Zionist in an meaningful way and to try to explain it to my Islamic friends returns all of their focus that the Bible is corrupted and the cause of all their pain and they not only want nothing to do with it, but don’t belief me when I say the Bible is for them and against Judah leaving me with a feeling of isolation and defeat. What do I do? I have something powerful. In mass as there is no way either Jews or Christians can say that they belief in the promise of Abraham and deny that the Arabs are Israel. Yet for all its power I have no way to really use it. (For those who doubt this try giving a Lament I wrote to Christian and see their response) – Of course its truly value only comes if the Muslim and successfully argue its merit and to do that they have to know and understand the Bible. Muslim say we believe as Abraham believed! Muslim say we belief in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran and distinguish between them NOT!

    My Little Brother, Where for Art Thou?
    A Lament of Michael the son of Enoch

    1My little brother… the dreamer. My heart sinks over you… my legs give way. 2From our father’s house you came to me. It was I who sold you to Egypt. 3From the gold in our Father’s house I sold you to Aram. 4From the coffers in His Home I sold you to Assyria.
    5Three times I sold you. 6Oh my little brother your tribes are lost.
    7Our Father came asking, Judah have you seen your little brother?
    8I replied, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
    9Our Father wept, “Your brother’s blood weeps from the ground where you slayed him!”
    10I went to him, but he refused to be comforted, calling out, “My son Israel, my firstborn son!” 11My Father’s Spirit left His House, and I was exiled from the Beautiful Land.
    11Mourned for you little brother, I did not.
    12I said in my heart my brother is gone; I shall claim his birthright. 13I returned to the House of my Father. 14I said, “Father I have prepared a sacrifice before you that I may receive my inheritance.”
    15But our Father replied, “Who was it that was just here? 16I have made him many nations from the Nile to the Euphrates. 17I have spread him to the east and the west. 18Out of the barren womb of Sarah, Rebecca, and Rachel, I have made him a people like the stars of the sky. 19I have given everything to him and have nothing left for you!”
    20When I saw my father had accepted my little brother’s sacrifice over mine, I was enraged and would not look upon you as my little brother. 21Our Father saw my heart, put his arm around me, “My son your hate has blinded you, otherwise you might see with your eyes, hear with your ears, understand with your heart, and turn and be healed. 22Recall all the stories I told you of my love for your little brother? 23Remember when I sent my servant to you with the command love one another? 24Now come and celebrate with us! Embrace him, for your lost brother is found! He was dead and is now alive!”
    25Oh my little brother Israel, it is written that when you were a child I hated you in this way, not a kind word could I say about you, 26so our Father warned me, if you bless him you will be blessed, but if you curse him you will be cursed. 27If only I had listened to my Father’s servant, judge and you will be judged, forgive and you will be forgiven. 28Was it not I your older brother who was responsible for you? 29Was It not I who was your keeper?
    30But who was I?
    31In my wrath and jealousy, it was I who handed you over to our eldest brother Adam who put you on the cross in the valley of Megiddo… 32the one holding the blood-stained robe in the fields of the Armageddon. 33Praise to my Father who raised my little brother, his son Israel from the dead. 34As for me I was exiled from the millennial reign my Father prepared. 35Now here am I kneeling before you on the day of judgement just as you dreamt. 36So I put on my Levitical robes and knelt before my Father, “The fault is mine and mine alone let the sin of humanity fall upon me!” 37And I took upon myself the sin of the world and laid it upon the Lamb, and my great debt was forgiven.
    38My little Arab brother Joseph, is it really you, the one I sold?
    39My little Arab brother embraced me, “What you meant for evil God has used for good!” 40Then he took me by the hand, “Come and join me in Paradise.”

  9. Hello Paul, could please host a talk on the Islamic calendar and the hurum months. It’s 2023 now is it really ? From birthday to birthday to Christmas to easter to some anniversary back to new yearseve etc , it seems like we can’t get a break and focus.

  11. Bonjour monsieur Paul,

    Je vous découvre seulement aujourd’hui…
    Je voulais savoir si vous connaissez Ahmed Didat et la Bible à la lettre rouge ( 5% attribué à Jésus, sur lui le salut ) ?

    D’autres parts, que dites-vous de la ” 5ème écoles de jurisprudence islamique : école de Hael ol bait ou Jafarite qui croit en 12 Imames, sur eux le salut ) ?

    Merci pour votre réponse,

    Un musulman de Belgique…
