DOES THE BIBLE USE THE WORD MUSLIM?

This post is presented to refute the gross misuse of Luke 6:40 by Muslims who claim that verse uses the term Muslim when translated upon translation of another translation.

Once again, we have desperate Muslims performing linguistic gymnastics in an attempt to misrepresent the etymology of a specific word. Here we find Muslims citing Luke 6:40 as if it says the word Muslim. Apparently, Muslims don't see the fallacious aspect of their argument when making a claim that a specific word is the same based on similar sounds these words make? A rat must be a cat, and house a mouse because they sound similar?

Folks, please keep in mind that the Injil (Gospels) was first written in Greek, not in Hebrew or Aramaic, nor in Arabic.

Here is Luke 6:40, "The disciple is not above his master; but everyone that is perfect shall be as his master."

The Greek word that Muslims are jumping through hoops to perform their linguistic gymnastics is "katertismenos" derived from the word "katardidzo" according to the Greek lexicon. The following is how this word is rendered according to the Strong's Concordance as noted from Blue Letter Bible (www.blueletterbible.org):

1) to render, i.e. to fit, sound, complete
a) to mend (what has been broken or rent), to repair
i) to complete
b) to fit out, equip, put in order, arrange, adjust
i) to fit or frame for one's self, prepare
c) ethically: to strengthen, perfect, complete, make one what he ought to be

Yet, apparently, these Muslims in the midst of their linguistic gymnastics, forgot to talk with someone that knows how to speak Hebrew.

When one reads the Hebrew translation of Luke 6:40 is:

התלמיד אינו יודע יותר ממורו, אולם אם ילמד בשקידה ובחריצות יוכל להגיע לרמת ידיעותיו של המורה.

The Greek word “katērtismenos” is translated into Hebrew as “learn diligence”. Nowhere will you find the word “she’mushlam” in this verse, as this is not a proper rendering of the translation of the Greek word into Hebrew. Furthermore, even if one was to appeal to such an argument, the entire word as noted from these deceitful Muslims is she'mushlam which does not mean Muslim unless the one making such arguments purposely distorts the word to omit the "she"??? In addition, as noted by the definitions above, we find that the Greek word "katērtismenos" does not denote submission, which the 7th Century term Muslim implies. Therefore, these words carry different meanings, which means they are not the same nor did anyone in the 1st Century imply them to be a religious term associated with Islam.

Thus, this begs the question, if the so-called term "she'mushlam" means Muslim, then why was this term not used significantly elsewhere in religious texts to denote such a religion or people group? Why did it take until the 7th Century before the term was originated as Muslim in the Arabic? Why do Muslims have to appeal to a translation of a translation of a translation in an attempt to find a specific word, when the context of such a reading does not give premise to the usage of the 7th Century meaning? This is an etymological fallacy in which a reader attempts to misuse or misrepresent the original or historical meaning of a word or phrase as if it was similar to a more modern term, such as a Muslim attempting to read back a 7th Century term as if it was the same in the 1st Century.

Thereby, I challenge any Muslim to provide any ancient antiquity of evidence proving that in the 1st Century the term "she'mushlam" referred to one who submits? However, what is even more damaging is the fact the Greek word "katērtismenos" has as root καταρτίζω, which when it is translated into Arabic, it is بصيرة (baseera), meaning insight, able to see, sober or perception.

Yet, here is the final nail in the coffin of the Muslim who appeals to such an argument which is taken from their own Koran. Please keep in mind that Jesus was present on earth during the 1st Century, and His disciples were present during and after His ministry.

Surah 61:14 “O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: As said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed.”

Surah 3:52 “But when Jesus became conscious of their disbelief, he cried: who will my helpers in the cause of Allah? The disciples said we will be Allah's helpers. We believe in Allah and bear thou witness that we have surrendered.”

Surah 3:55 “Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE SUPERIOR to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.”

WAS MUHAMMAD A PEDOPHILE?

Was Muhammad a PEDOPHILE?
Muhammad - and any 54-year-old man who has sex with a nine-year-old PREPUBESCENT little girl, for that matter - is a pedophile!

This Prophetic analogy - where Israel is depicted as a baby girl growing, developing, and coming of age - makes that point very, very clear. It states ~

“‘Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, “Live!” I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew and developed and entered PUBERTY. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, yet you were stark naked. “ ‘Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were OLD ENOUGH FOR LOVE...” (Ezekiel 16:6-8)

Not only did the girl (i.e., Israel) FIRST reach PUBERTY, but it was only AFTER that point that Yahweh said that she was READY FOR LOVE.

And even when judged by the scriptures of the PAGANS Muhammad is indubitably found to be a pedophile ~

"Thus the man will be paired with the girl, who is yet a virgin, ONLY AFTER MATURING, WHEN HER BOSOM HAS FULLY DEVELOPED, And when the young man's beard is seen upon his cheek, Within the gardens and paths will she find her husband" (Atrahasis: Tablet 1).*

MUHAMMAD THE TWISTER OF HISTORICAL FACTS

Muhammad Ibn Abdullah appeared to be a member of the Islamic militant group of the Islamic militant group of the Islamic Republic of Iran. in Arabia. A few examples will explain what I mean:

1. The story of Abraham is the father of the Jewish race of Christian faith was twisted to be the Ancestor of Muhammad the Qyurash Arab through the Ishmael of the last of Abraham of whom God has no covenant. Gen 17:21, 21: 2

2. The story of Abraham was twisted to Abraham (Gen 22; 2) was twisted to Sarah the wife of Abraham (Gen 22; 2) was twisted to Ishmael and his Egyptian mother was born out of wedlock (Q2: 127) Abraham who was tried to be sacrificed on Mount Moriah is a prophet in Islam who followed his father to the valley of Mecca to build Kaaba the shrine of the polytheists which became the center of Islamic worship . Can you believe this?

3. The story of Alexander the Great, the Greek conqueror and King who conquered the world of his time, as well as the history of the two horn man was Twisted to an Islamic prophet and Messengers of Allah called Dhul-Garnain in the Quran 18: 83-86, he was said to have been sent by Allah to follow the sun till he reached the land of the setting sun to either punish them or allow them to live. Can you believe this?

4. The story of Mary the mother of Jesus from Judah who born Jesus in Bethlehem of Judea in a manger was twisted to be Meriam the sister of Aaron the brother of Moses from the tribe of Levi who gave birth to Jesus ) - (he probably means Esau the twin brother of Jacob who is Isa in Arabic) under a Palm tree. (Q19: 23-28) Can you believe this?

5. The story of Jesus Christ who was confirmed crucified by Roman soldiers dead and buried but rose again after three days and ascended to heaven after forty days of appearing to his disciples and giving him much assurance of his resurrected life and gave him his last command (Q4: 157.) Can you believe this? I did not have any problems.

6. The Story of Jesus Coming back again as the kingdom of Kings and Lords of Lord (Rev 1: 8,19: 16 was twisted means Jesus only coming back to deny Christians who worship him as God burn crosses, marry and live as a Muslim and die and be buried beside the grave of Muhammad. Can you believe this? Let me stop here and wait for the Muslims response.

BIBLE NOT THE BIBLE MENTIONED IN QURAN

Bible not the bible mentioned in Quran. So many names of books are mentioned in the Quran. And Muslims were initially very proud of their many books such as the Torah, the Injeel and the Book of Zabur, which is mentioned by the Quran.
But you know, if you ask which books are these? None of the Muslims can answer it. Because none of those books appear in their form or they cannot explain which book of Torah, Injeel, and Zabur is meant by the Quran.
Meanwhile, according to the Quran, these books were revealed by Allah or the Quranic term if given by Allah, it was called "revealed". Revelation according to the Quran is not the same as revelation according to the Christian Bible.

While the Christian Bible (there are Torah, the books of Prophets (Nevim), Other Books (Ketuvim), and the books of Apostles. Everything was written by the prophets and the Apostles, unlike the Quran, that the books were given directly by Allah. For example, the book of Isaiah was written by the prophet Isaiah. The Book of Peter was written by the apostle Peter. Jesus was never given or learned from the book or wrote a book. In the Quran (Q. 19:30), the Injeel was given by Allah directly to Isa. (According to the Quran, the Book of Injeel and the Torah are separated). Generally speaking, the Christian INJEEL was written by PROPHETS and APOSTLES.
So based on the way in which the book came from, it is clear that the Torah, the Gospel, and the Zabur that the Qur'an refers to, are not the books that guide Christians.
Thus, where are the books mentioned in the Qur'an? Is there a Quran lying?
Now let's read QS. 4 An-Nisaa: 163.
"We have inspired you, as We had inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon. And We gave David the Psalms."

This means that each of the prophets obtained a book from God. And of course, the same question is: where is the book? Hidden? Who is hiding? What for?
And lastly, the Quran (Qur'an 87: 18-19) also mentions that eternal life is in the earlier books of Moses and the Book of Abraham. This is also a question, do Muslims know, where are the books? Are Muslims not interested in Eternal life? Could it be that Allah Muhammad in the Quran lied?
If the Quran correctly contains the words of Allah why did Allah tell the book to read but did not tell where the books were?
If Muslim brothers cannot answer where the books are, this means you fail to maintain that the QURAN IS THE WORD OF GOD.

If the existence of the books cannot be explained, this also means that 24 prophets before Muhammad were mentioned in the Quran, only a Quranic tale originating from the illusion of Muhammad who cheated on the Bible. And obviously, Muhammad did not know anything about the books of the Torah, the Bible, the Psalms, the Book of Abraham and the other prophets' books.

MUSLIMS ARE WORSHIPING MUHAMMAD

I find it hilarious that Muslims tell us they don't worship Muhammad. The Islamic sources (isnad) go out of their way to remind us that the creation and even Allah's throne was not made but for him.

al-Hakim in his Mustadrak, Baihaqi in Dalail an-Nubuwah, Tabarani in his Kabeer, Abu Na’eem in his Hilya and ibn Asakir in Tarikh Damishq report from Sayyiduna Ameer al-Mu’mineen 'Umar ibn al-Khattab Farooq al-A’dham (radiyallahu ta'ala anhu) that:

I won't copy paste the whole thing. But if you want the full reference here it is below. The question was possessed like below and the answer was INDEED...

QUESTION: What do the respected ‘Ulama of the religion and Shari’ah say about the hadith:
لولاك لولاك ما خلقت الأفلاك - “Law laaka law laaka maa khalaqtal aflaak”. Which book is this hadith in? Is the Prophet of Allah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) the reason for the creation or not? Are there other ahadith that support this narration?

Answer: Indeed the Prophet of Allah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) is the reason for the creation of Adam ‘alaihis salam and the universe. If the Prophet of Allah (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) was not in existence, then the ‘Arsh and Kursi, Lawh and Qalam, the Skies and the Earth, Heaven and Hell, the trees and stones and all other creatures would not exist.

And while the lafdh in question is not considered an authentic wording from the Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam), it is, as Mullah al-Qaari said, "Though al-Saghanee says this is mawdu even so I say its meaning is saheeh (authentic) even if it is not a hadith.” Please read about Ibn Taymiyyah and his discussion of the hadith law laaka in Majma` Fataawa Ibn Taymiyyah.

CRUCIFIXION FOR MUSLIMS

I CHALLENGE ANY MUSLIMS TO PROVIDE A SINGLE SAHIH HADITH WERE Muhammad DENIED OR REJECTED THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS ????

Please do not cite a Tafsir which is mere commentary, but rather I want the actual authentic Sunnah of Muhammad. If you cannot find any, then the claim Jesus did not die on the cross should really be scrutinized if you as Muslim are truly seeking the truth.

Folks keep in mind that the Koran is quite clear that Jesus did die as shown in Surah 3:54-55, 5:117 and 19:33. Now let’s turn our focus on the Koran identifying the death of Jesus.

Here is how Islamic scholar Asad translated Surah 3:55 "Lo! God said: "O Jesus! Verily, I shall cause thee to die..." Here is the transliteration of Surah 3:55 "Ith qala Allahu ya AAeesainnee mutawaffeeka warafiAAuka ilayya wamutahhiruka mina allatheena...." (http://www.alim.org/…/c…/3/55/allah's-promise-to-isa-(jesus))

Here is what Asad says in his commentary note 172:

“Cf. 3:55, where God says to Jesus, "Verily, I shall cause thee to die, and shall exalt thee unto Me." The verb rafa'ahu (lit., "he raised him" or "elevated him") has always, whenever the act of raf' ("elevating") of a human being is attributed to God, the meaning of "honoring" or "exalting". Nowhere in the Qur'an is there any warrant for the popular belief that God has "taken up" Jesus bodily, in his lifetime, into heaven…..”

As noted in an article by M. A. Malek on the Islamic Research Foundation International Webpage, others also translated Surah 3:55 similarly as Asad above.

“Interestingly, in the First Edition of his translation of the Qu’ran, Yusuf Ali translated "inni muttawaffi-ka" (Q3:55) as "I will cause thee to die." A similar translation is given by many others, including George Sale, J.M. Rodwell, N. J. Dawood, Muhammad Asad, Maulana Muhammad Ali, Shaykh Muhammad Shaltut, Allama Ghulam Ahmad Parwez, and so on.

Islamic scholar Muhammad Pickthall translates Surah 3:55 as "I am gathering thee." It should be noted that the language of his translation is "scriptural" and "I am gathering thee" is the Biblical idiom for "I am causing thee to die." (A. A. Karim, member of the Editorial Board).” (Malek, 1998, “The Message,” United Islamic Association (UIA) publication, London, England [http://www.irfi.org]).

Islamic historian Al-Tabari proclaims one way of interpreting Surah 3:55 is with a literal physical death as he states, “Death (wafat) means the death of real, literal dying, that is, “I am causing you to die literally.” (Abu Jaf’ar Muhammad ibn Jarir Al-Tabari, Tafsir al-Tabari: Jami’ al-Bayan ‘an Ta’wil Ay al-Quran, Salah Abd al-Fattah al-Khalidi (ed.) Damascus: Dar al-Qalam, 1997.)

It’s clear by his definition, that Asad agrees the phrase mutawaffeeka means “cause thee to die.” Keeping in the context of Surah 4:157-158, it should be interpreted to indicate the the Jews did not cause Jesus to die but rather it was Allah as he stated this in Surah 3:55, “innee mutaffeeka” meaning “I will cause thee to die.” Note, that Asad acknowledges the Koran does not teach that Allah took Jesus bodily; therefore Allah raised the soul of Jesus. This would imply that the soul left the body; therefore, the body is dead.

Yusuf Ali in his commentary note 4306 states this about death, “….In death we surrender our physical life, but our soul does not die; it goes back to a plane of existence in which it is more conscious of the realities of the spiritual world: "Allah takes the soul" (http://www.alim.org).

Asad - Surah 5:117 "....I bore witness to what they did as long as I dwelt in their midst; but since Thou hast caused me to die (falammatawaffaytanee)...."

Again, the words "tawaffaytani" and "mutawafeeka" are forms of the Arabic word “tawaffa”. The word “tawaffa” refers to physical death. Again we find in the hadiths regarding Surah 5:117 that the term tawaffa means to literally die.

The Arabic word "mutawaffeeka" in general terms means "cause thee to die". Ibn Abbas a companion of Muhammad stated: “Mutawaffeeka [means] ‘I’ll cause you to die’ (Mumeetuka)” (Sahih Bukhari, Kitabut Tafsir 4259, Sura al-Ma’idah).

The term mutawafeeka comes from the word “tawaffa” meaning to take something in full, or complete, and is almost always used to denote a physical death. The Arabic expression tawaffaitani (translated: take me up) is explained by Dr. Mahmud Shaltut, one of the previous presidents of Al-Azhar University: “(It) is entitled in this verse to bear the meaning of ordinary death…there is no way to interpret ‘death’ as occurring after his [Jesus] return from heaven…because the verse very clearly limits the connection of Jesus…to his own people of his own day and the connection is not with the people living at the time when he returns.” (Muslim World, xxxiv, pp. 214 ff; as quoted by Parrinder. Geoffery, Jesus in the Qur'an, pp.115-116; Sheldon Press, London, 1965.)

Here is what one Muslim indicates regarding Tawaffa, “What I discovered on checking every page of the compilations of Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Tirmidhi, Ibn-e-Maja, Abu Dawud, Nasa’I, Darimi, Mu’atta; and Sharh-us-Sunnat etc.; was that the expression Tawaffi has been used three hundred and forty-six times, and in no single instance has it been used, either by the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) or by his companions, to mean anything other than ‘death’, or ‘taking possession of the soul’.... (Izala-e-Auham, Ruhani Khaza’in, volume 3, pp. 583-585).

Here are some examples of the use of Tawaffa in the hadiths.

Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55, Number 656
Narrated Ibn Abbas: “Allah's Apostle said, "You will be resurrected (and assembled) bare-footed, naked and uncircumcised." The Prophet then recited the Divine Verse:-- "As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it: A promise We have undertaken. Truly we shall do it." (21.104) He added, "The first to be dressed will be Abraham. Then some of my companions will take to the right and to the left. I will say: ‘My companions!’ It will be said, ‘They had been renegades since you left them.’ I will then say what the Pious Slave Jesus, the son of Mary said: ‘And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them; when You did take me up (tawaffaytani), You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if you forgive them, You, only You are the All-Mighty the All-Wise.’" (5.117-118) Narrated Quaggas, "Those were the apostates who renegade from Islam during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr who fought them".

Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 6, Book 60, Hadith 149
Narrated by Ibn Abbas (RA): Allah’s Messenger delivered a sermon and said, “O people! You will be gathered before Allah bare-footed, naked and not circumcised.” Then (quoting Qur’an) he said: “As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. A promise We have undertaken: Truly we shall do it.” (21.104) The Prophet then said, “The first of the human beings to be dressed on the Day of Resurrection, will be Abraham. Lo! Some men from my followers will be brought and then the angels will drive them to the left side (Hell-Fire). I will say. ‘O my Lord! They are my companions!’ Then a reply will come from Allah the Almighty, ‘You do not know what they did after you were gone.’ I will say just as the pious slave the Prophet Jesus (AS) said: “And I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them, but since Thou didst cause me to die (Tawaffaitanii), Thou hast been the Watcher over them; and Thou art Witness over all things (5.117) Then it will be said, “These people have continued to be apostates since you left them.”

Here we find that Ibn Abbas was indicating that God took Muhammad (tawaffaytani) in the same manner he took Jesus up to himself. Since we know that Muhammad was taken by death, this strongly argues that Jesus also died before ascending to God.

WHY I LEFT ISLAM?

I already told you I was a Muslim and now I'm an atheist who asked me a lot of people why I left faith and became an atheist and you were Muslim then this is I will tell you many reasons that made me leave faith and after a long years search I knew that religions are a human industry that started from simplicity and multi-Earth Gods and then evolved into heavenly and extinct all gods left only one machine and they will also die soon I From Iraq not only I am an atheist there are thousands of atheists from Iraq and the middle east and the number is growing rapidly and then a matter or rather drama Adam and eve and create them from mud this is a farce and contempt for saying I see it is illogical or animals Solomon and bird understand Solomon and lehman understand bird haha or a wooden ship a legend carrying all animals or man balaa whale and yqdẖfẗ after three days live or a man named Imam Mahdi think he lives to now means colony over 1200 years and still alive I think that religion is a lucrative business and then the question of God.

I want to look like God in a father who sends a mother on a trip to a certain area and says to a boy there are two roads on this trip, a temple road, a safe place with rest stations, restaurants, and lots of entertainment. His bloodline will not receive an award and will be punished. And the second way is not a safe temple that doesn't have any amenities or restaurants and the father says to the boy go this way because he will get an award and don't be The Father already knows that the boy will choose the path of the temple (the path of fire and punishment that is ending), yet he sends a mother and he has not enough. And yet he knows that the boy will be a bad end and send him and then describe himself I mean father with mercy, justice, and compassion where are all these qualities from Father's position just ask. And countless reasons don't make man realize that religions are just an idea, and then strange contradictions in a strange wonder.
