Under the topic: What is Original Sin?  she quoted Roman 5: 12, to explain the new word ‘original sin’. But throughout the 13 paragraphs under this analysis no single statement of Jesus was quoted as reference, all were Paul’s theory. Meaning that Jesus was not in support of the strange belief!  She later alleged: “If we read the Quran and the Bible we can see that Quran also says the same thing-Q7: 22-26”.

No! Quran didn’t say the same thing with the Bible. Nowhere in the Quran talk about inherited sin. And unlike the bible where we found no place where God forgave Adam, Allah forgave Adam in the Quran as we read, “And verily We had made a covenant with Adam beforehand, but he forgot and We found in him no determination to disobey…then his Lord Choose him and turned to him with mercy and guided him” Q20: 115 &122. Therefore it is mercy, guidance and forgiveness Muslims inherited from Adam not sin! Where in the Bible did the God show mercy or guardian or forgiveness to Adam? How then is that Jesus’ father a merciful God of salvation and by what means?

She writes: “…because of the sin of Adam and Eve, thorn and thistles started growing”. This is funny and attributable to biblical science alone! God didn’t create them but as a result of cursing Adam and ground, thorn and thistles grew? That is strange! And again she said: “Adam and Eve lost the fellowship of God… they died spiritually. Today the same blood is flowing through us, the same corrupted blood. That’s why David says in Psalm 51: 8 “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me”. If that is the case Jesus himself was sinful by trait, because the same blood ran in his mother Mary who gave birth to him with her inherited sinful blood and gave the sin garnished breast milk to the Christian god. No wonder why Jesus was fond of assaulting his people even the elderly at slighted provocation-Matthew 23: 13-33.

She writes under the topic, How Can We Get Salvation? And quoting, 1 John 1: 8; 1 John1: 9; Roman 10: 9; Act 3: 19; 2 Corinthians 5: 17 and John 5: 24 in separate paragraph with its explanation. Of six paragraphs five are Paul and others’ statements. Again only one for Jesus! 5 ratio 1! Who then was the proponent of bloody salvation in Christianity? Even there is no correlation between the messages of John 5: 24 and those five preceding it. Moreso Jesus directed his mission to the Jews not the gentiles (Matthew 15: 24), whereas Paul did otherwise. Thus, calling Jesus world savior is erroneous as throughout the Bible, the word ‘salvation’ or ‘saviour’ did not for once come out of his mouth, what kind of savior is then Jesus?

Quoting Genesis 3: 21, “Also for Adam and his wife the lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them- (Adam and Eve)” she said, “from where the skin came? Certainly God sacrifice an animal to cover the shame of Adam and Eve” That is to say, Christian god becoming butcher! Only we don’t know who help him to hold the animal and where he got knife and cutlass with which he skinned the sheep. Christianity is a funny fellowship with strange natured god! We know their mind in cooking up such but irrelevances. Adam has covered himself with leaves, what else concern God in becoming a butcher about issue which has been taken care of. The most needed is spiritual guide which is lost in the Bible but taken care by Allah: “Then Adam learnt from his Lord certain words of prayer. So He turned towards him with mercy…We said ‘Go forth all of you from here. And if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoso shall follow My guidance on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve”Q2: 37-38. That was what a derailed man like Adam needed not clothing!

And on the topic ‘We need a savior’, she writes: “We cannot come out from our sinful nature by our deeds or by our own efforts, we need a saviour’. In Islam, sin is acquired not inborn, it is avoidable not inevitable, that is the belief and superiority Muslims have over sin and Satan. Quran and Hadith of the Prophet are replete with ways not to acquire sin and how to avoid it, that is why we see Muslims today who can boast of sinless life. When the disciples of Jesus brought a woman to be stoned for adultery, he charged them to stone her if they were not guilty of the same, and none of them including Jesus himself could stone her. And that has serious meaning. If Jesus had waited till the time of Prophet Muhammad he would have seen thousands of Muslims who will do it with all confidence.  It was a task they carried out numbers of times during the time of prophet Muhammad because they were free of such sins. Islam has endowed them with the pure nature being itself natural religion. So Muslims don’t need a savior, even which Jesus was not. Allah alone is our savior, it is His promise to save every man, not by work but by His mercy: “…It is incumbent upon Us to save the believers” Q10: 103. “Allah saves you from them and from every distress, yet you associate partners with Him” Q6: 64.

She said: “Jesus came and died on the cross, He shed his precious blood to save us from eternal death, tear sorrow, pain and curse…we can receive this wonderful life…”  Biblical Jesus himself did not experience perfect and wonderful life. His life was full of troubles, sorrow, fear and disappointments. Can you give in heaven what you don’t have on earth? He ended his life in shameful and cursed at death! Paul said: “… Christ has redeemed us from the curse  of the law, being made a curse for us , for it is  written cursed is everyone that hanged on a tree” Galatians 3: 13. Salvation by curse belongs to Christians. Why did Jesus not tell the world that his salvation will be by curse? All sweet promises and words of salvation woven around death and blood of Jesus are nothing but concocted falsehood with no basis in the true teachings of Christ and will lead Christian nowhere but damnation. That sin which he committed suicide for and for which he became a curse is simply forgiven by Allah and even converted into good deeds and credited as such into one’s record: “…Those who repent and believe and do good deeds, for as to these Allah will change their evil deeds into good, and Allah is most Forgiving Merciful” Q25: 70.

Christians have succeeded in putting themselves under perpetual curse and one wonders how a cursed person on earth will get heavenly  mercy and salvation. Dozens of prophets came before Jesus and they were not cursed, yet they led their people perfectly, they were machineries to salvation and led their people peacefully to path of rectitude without knowledge of Jesus and his cursed salvation.

She writes: “Mohammad wasn’t sure about salvation…” and quoting the hadith: “…Take care of yourselves, O my daughter, Fatimah: you may use my property, but I cannot save you from God. Take care of yourself” (Bukhariy) and “No one of you will enter paradise through his good works! ‘They said; ‘not even you, O apostle of Allah’ Not even I, he replied ‘unless Allah cover me with His  grace and mercy”  reported Abu Hurairah.  Muhammad was an ordinary man but he was equal to god Jesus who despite being god or begotten son of God did not at any time assure his mother Mary of salvation and failed to guarantee Paradise to his two disciples who requested the place of him. We read “…she (mother of Zebedee) said unto him, grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on your right hand and other on the left in your kingdom. But Jesus answered and said, ‘you know not what you ask. Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, we are able! And Jesus said unto them, ‘you shall drink indeed of my cup and be baptised with my type of baptism; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it is prepared of my father!” Matthew 20: 21-23. If Jesus could not guarantee his mother and immediate disciples Paradise what then is the hope of the Gentile Christians of today? The truth of this is that Jesus was not a savior but a machinery of salvation even to the Jews only, like other prophets to their people. Only prophet Muhammad was an instrument of salvation to all mankind- Q21: 107 and by that he has a significant degree over Jesus.

She writes: “Muhammad’s prayer asking forgiveness, quoting the beautiful prayer between takbirat ikhram and the recitation of  Quran  on salat, that reads: “O Allah! Set me apart from my faults as the east and west are set apart from each other and clean me from sins as a white garment is cleaned of dirt. O Allah wash off my sins with water, snow and hail”. This is one of the beauties of Islam. It is one of the prayers that keep Muslims pure upon their pure nature so as not to incline to sin. It is best for Christian who believed they are sinfully born. Where in the Bible is this kind of beautiful prayer except curse and sarcastic requests in the Psalm. We are told: “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he (Jesus) went out, and departed into solitary place and there prayed” Mark 1: 35. That is to say Jesus went to observe ‘Subhi’ the early morning Muslim worship. However, in his worship, what he supplicated for and the way he prayed was concealed because it didn’t satisfy the minds and expectation of Christians. But the wordings in the ‘Lord Prayer’ which he taught and ordered his followers: “…forgives us our debts and deliver us from evils” Matthew 6: 9-13 exposed Jesus to have prayed for forgiveness of sin and always in the bondage of Satan. Again in this he was not a savior like Muhammad but machinery thereto.

‘There is no salvation in Islam’, she said and quoted: “ Every soul shall have a taste of death, and on the day of judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object of life…” Q3: 185. Then said:  “this suras from the Quran clearly say that after death everyone will go to hell fire then judgment…the verse say, that every believer in Allah is tasting death they did not get the life while Jesus promised eternal life and heaven…” We don’t know which Jesus she is talking about. Is it not the one who confessed not to be good (Mark 10: 17-18), the one that could not guarantee Paradise for his closest disciples (Matthew 20: 23), the one that didn’t want certain people to understand or convert or be forgiven of their sins (Mark 4: 11-12). How can this be the same person promising heaven? Which heaven is that?

Commenting on John 5: 24 where Jesus said: “…he that hear my word and believe on him that sent me hast everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed  from death unto life”. Evangelist A. Mamas says: “…the Book of death initially keeps the record of everybody but anytime someone yield to the gospel and is converted, such a person’s name will be wiped off from the Book of Death and transferred to the  Book of life. This is what our lord Jesus meant”

So, naturally all Christians are destined for hell by their God, how can they save themselves from Book of Death and Hell in which Trinity has written their names? How can you inherit Paradise that has been designed for specific people as asserted by Jesus –Matthew 20: 23?

When Allah made such  a statement in the Quran, it should be understood that the commotion of the Day, the agony of Accountability and the trial of crossing As-Sirat are hells before Hell and anyone who can escape through all these and found himself in Paradise has surely successful. To all these Allah says: “And as to those who believe and do good deeds, He shall admit them into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein forever. It is Allah’s unfailing promise and who can be more truthful than Allah in word? It shall not be according to your desires, nor according to the desires of the people of the books (Jews and Christians). Whoso does evil shall be rewarded for it…but whoso does good works whether male or female and is a true Muslim such shall enter Paradise and not least injustice will be done to them. And who can be better in faith than he who submits himself to Allah…” Q4: 122-125. If by all this one fails to see salvation in Islam, then such person will certainly not smell it in the hereafter!
