Islam the Natural Teaching of the Bible means what Islam teaches are what are truly found in the Bible or the same is the true teachings of true Christ, and what Muslims believe and the way they worship supposed to be what Christians doing! If so what then brought Christianity and why do we see Churches instead of Mosques?

Muslims believe that there is only one true God

• “Say! He is Allah, the Only One. Allah, the besought of all, He begets not nor was He begotten and there is none like unto Him” Q112: 1-4.

• “Take not for worship two gods. There is only One God. So fear Me (Allah) alone” Q16: 57.

• “Allah bears witness that there is no god but He and do the angels and those who possessed of knowledge (among mankind) maintainer of justice, there is no god but He. The Mighty the Wise” Q3: 18.

Muslims believe that Allah created everybody and everything, and that the absolute power is in Allah’s Hands. We Muslims also believe that man is helpless and at the mercy of Allah, he cannot do anything tangible and credible by himself as he was created weak, and there is great difference between man- creature/‘manufacturer’ and Creator. A manufacturer cannot but utilized what Original Creator has already put in place. Man as a car builder of today uses iron ore created and put in place by Allah. Man uses it but is not its Creator. A carpenter cannot make any chair/furniture without planks, but he is not the Creator of planks or wood. Fine artists and architects are fond of imaginative designs but the brain which they use are not their make, so they are only assisted in doing their jobs and the builders are not the maker of the landscape on which they build the design. These are indicators between man and true God whose real name is Allah, who says:

“O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it. Verily those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatches away a thing from them, they will have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are the seeker and the sought.”Q22: 83.

This is a serious challenge to every creature on our weakness. Man, whatever his status, cannot near Allah. Jesus confirmed it by saying: “Why call thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God” Mark 10: 18. Ordinary fly, men cannot create and even if the fly snatches anything from them, they cannot retrieve it from the fly. The same holds for Jesus, when he declared: “I can of mine own self do nothing; as I hear, I judge…” John 5: 30.

Thus, men can only play instrumentality for actualizing whatever God wills. For this reason it is simply wrong to hold Jesus the status of God. While Muslims see it as blasphemy, and that any other power exist beside Allah is wrong. Today Christians refuse to reason rightly, they don’t sing praise of God in churches anymore but for Jesus, one hardly hears thanks you God from Christians of today. This practice is even condemned in the Bible: “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own bodies between themselves; who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever.” Roman 1: 21- 25.

Muslims do not praise Prophet Mohammad(SAW) even he has warned against such: “Do not exaggerate my position in praise of me as the Christians did with the son of Mary, for I am only the slave of Allah, so say: the slave of Allah and His messenger” (Bukhariy). There must always be a limit to everything, and there must be boundary between the Creator and creatures, this Biblical verses call for boundary between God and other creatures and Muslims recognize the boundary, but not so the Christians. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” 1Timothy 2: 5, tells us that Jesus is a man. So if Jesus is pronounced man here, why, how and when again did he become God the co-Creator? Certainly there are many versions of truth in the Bible, but most truthful of them is the one on oneness of God.

“The chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying ‘art thou the Christ? Tell us. And he said unto them, if I tell you, ye will not believe; and if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. Hereafter shall the son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. Then said they all, art thou then the son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am!” Luke 22: 66 -70.

Here is the first class evidence of such truth from Jesus himself. Jesus tactically rejected what they tried to put on him ‘ye say that I am!’ We also read: “I and my father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him, Jesus answered them, many good works have I shewed you from my father, for which of those works do you stone me? The Jews answered him, saying for a good work we stone you not, but for blasphemy, and because that thou being a man making thyself God. Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken.” John 10: 30-34

“Ask, and it shall be given you, seek, and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that ask received, and he that seekth find, and to him that knock it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone, or if he ask a fish, will he give him serpent?” Matthew 7: 7-10 – all this shows that Jesus is always in need of true God’s assistance, who he only liken and took as ‘father’ - Luke 11:20. And that is Islamic stand. And of prophets of old which Jesus cannot destroy is the declaration of his father: “I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside Me, I girded thee, though thou hast not know Me”. Isaiah 45: 5 - pure kalimat shaadat! Allah says:

“Surely, the Messiah – Jesus will never disdain to be a servant of ALLAH, nor will the angels near unto Him, and whoso disdains to worship Him and feels proud, Allah will gather them all to Himself”Q4: 172.

Aside from the proof of his needs which shows his incapability as a servant of Almighty God, Jesus also worshiped and prayed to true God in Islamic manner! “And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying O my Father, it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will… and he went away again the second time, and prayed saying, o my father, if this cup may pass away from me, except I drink it thy will be done

Salvation of mankind, especially the Muslims lies in mercy and forgiveness of Allah by knowing Him, believing in Him and worshipping Him.

• “And march forth in the way for forgiveness from your lord and for paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth, prepared for the pious”Q3: 133.

  Man is committing sins both commission and omission. Whichever one, Allah asked us to seek forgiveness and repent.

• “Say O my slaves who have transgressed against themselves. Despair not of the mercy of Allah verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly He is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. And turn in repentance and obedience with true faith to your Lord and submit to Him before the torment comes upon you, and then you will not be helped” ….”Q39: 53-54.

This shows that forgiveness of man’s sins needs no blood or sacrifice. The saying that ‘without accepting Jesus as personal savior’, is an aberration of the teachings of Jesus, it must be dropped for truth. And the true fact about salvation in the Bible is not by blood of Jesus but righteousness. A Muslim who believes in ‘kalimatul shaadah’ but refuses to observe salat and other righteous deeds in Islam cannot be counted as a true Muslim if died in such condition.

This is so because Islam is the synthesis of faith and duties, and this is implied in Jesus’ assertion: “And behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, why callest thou me good? There in none good but one, that is God; but if thou will enter into eternal life, keep the commandments” Matthew 19: 16 -17. This is a diabolic encounter between Jesus Christ and a person who came to ask about eternal life and what amount to eternal life. Jesus first took his excuse to clarify his true status about God. Unfortunately definition of righteousness is not the same as found in Christianity, it is all encompassing (Q2: 177), making it difficult to be rubbished a filthy rag! With this, salvation of a Muslim is guaranteed. Allah says: “…it is incumbent upon Us to save the believers”Q10: 103. Christians do not want to keep the law under Paul’s grace, and because Paul has made Christians to be lawless, their worship has been scattered.

Muslims ladies wear head covers but Christian ladies like to disregard the law, they hate to see hijab let alone adopting it, yet that was how Mary mother of Jesus dressed and holy spirit inspired Paul saying: “But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonoured her head; for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn ; but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered” 1 Corinthians 11: 5-6. How many Christian ladies observe this rule even in churches? “Likewise you wives, be in subjection to your own husband…while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adoring let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel” 1 Peter 3 : 1-3. But does this hold in churches and among Christian ladies?

And we have ritual bath in the Bible as Muslims do, “And if any man’s seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water and be unclean until the even” Levticle15: 16. Of course, this is never preached in church let alone considering it!

“This is my covenant, which ye shall keep between me and you and thy seed after thee; every man child among you shall be circumcised.” Genesis17: 10. Jesus was circumcised and lived his life in accordance with the law: “And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb” Luke2: 21. But against Jesus and other traditions of Prophets of old, Paul orders: “Behold! I Paul say unto you that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing! For I testify again to every man that is circumcised that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you is justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace”. –Galatians 5: 2. Boldly, Paul has enforced fake grace and freedom from law on Christians to do whatever they want without any shame of, or control, even by their Creator, and it leads to nowhere!

Women are becoming Pastors and Evangelists despite that it is prohibited in the book without response from the church. But Muslim women who dare violate this are at logger head with Muslim world. Christians invite people today to come and become ‘sons and daughters of God’ by lips whereas they will eventually become servants of ordinary man - pastor, facts are all abound world-wide.

Christians wants to be like Jesus but they are not ready to be abided with what he submitted to, not ready to make use of its simplest order. Let consider the Lord’s prayer, which Jesus recommended for his followers saying: “And when thou prays, thou shall not be as the hypocrites are; for they loves to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you they have their reward. But thou, when thou prays, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy father which is in secret, and thy father which sees in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do, for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking…after this manner therefore pray ye: ‘Our father which art in heaven…”. Matthew 6: 9- 13.

How many Christians observe this and when last has any church recite Lord’s prayer or pray in this manner of Christ? Nothing makes Christians repugnant to Jesus traditions other than that doing it correctly will ordinarily make them look like Muslims! But this is inevitable for salvation as ‘Jesus’ himself was a stark Muslim!

Christians in all denominators believe that Jesus is coming back to the world despite all the segregations and differences in worship, surely only one sect will receive Jesus recognition and that is the one with closest Islamic practices, that is if at all he is to show that he was a Christian, which indeed he has never, based on his stern warning to his disciples, not to take his evangelization out of Israel to the gentile who became Christians of today! “These twelve Jesus sent fort, and commanded them saying, ‘Go Not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of Samaritans Enter ye Not. But go ye rather unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel” Matthew 10: 5-6. And, “But he (Jesus) answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel” Matthew 15: 24.

Allah says:

And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the hereafter he will be one of the losers.” Q3: 85.

But does anybody even have a choice when naturally he is born Muslim? The prophet said:

“Everyone is born a Muslim (one in a state of submission), but his parents later make him a Jew, a Christian or a Magian”! Jesus has simply exhibited it and one expects his sheep to take a lesson!
