1 Good Morning! Welcome to the Lord s church In Uniontown

2 The Heart of Islam: Allah

3 Every institution associated with a religion has one or more gods. The main difference about Islam is that it grew out of a polytheistic environment. Pre-Islamic Arabs generally and the Meccans and Medinans in particular were very much like the Athenians of Acts 17. They believed in numerous deities.

4 At some time, unknown to us because of the lack of records, Mohammad was visited by Jibaril. And when We have recited it to you [O Muhammad through Jibrail (Gabriel)], then follow its (Qur an s) recitation. (Qur an 75:18)

5 Jibril revealed to Muhammad that there is in fact only one true deity named Allah. The term Allah means Al (one) Lah (God). This lead to Islamic monotheism.

6 Islamic monotheism is different from Biblical monotheism. Biblically, monotheism is discussed by two ones in Scripture. The Father, Son and Spirit are one (1) in essence. (John 10:30; Psalms 147:5) The Father, Son and Spirit are one (1) and no other deity exists. (Isaiah 44:6)

7 This is what the LORD says Israel s King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.

8 Islamic monotheism means there is only one personage who is deity. To claim that any other individual is deity is SHIRK (polytheism), the greatest of all sins.

9 The three types of Shirk are inconspicuous, minor and major. The major Shirk is most important. Praying to deities other than Allah Worshipping or committing religious acts toward other deities. Rending obedience to any authority except Allah Showing love that is due Allah to another.

10 I consider it essential to mention here some details of the greatest sin which will not be forgiven by Allah. The unpardonable sin is Shirk. (Noble Qur an, Commentary, )

11 Say, (O Muhammad): O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords beside Allah. Then if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims. (Qur an 3:064)

12 Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills; and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous lie. (Qur an 4:048)

13 And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): O Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah? (Qur an 5:116)

14 Muhammad attempted to share his new found revelation with those of his tribe (Qurasyh) in Mecca. He was rejected and eventually run out of town. Eventually he returns to Mecca from Medinah with an army. He destroys Mecca, subjugating the Meccans to Allah and killing those who would not submit to Allah.

15 The Meccans had 360 gods. The idols were housed in a Ka ba. Archeologically, Allah was the Meccans moon-god!

16 So, who is this god who commands the obedience of 1.8 billion people?

17 Allah is not of a triunity. O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers...

18 Allah is not of a triunity.... Say not Trinity : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. (Qur an 4:171 [Yusufali])

19 Allah is not a father. They (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: Allah has begotten a son (children). Glory is to Him! He is rich (Free of all needs). His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. No warrant you have for this. Do you say against Allah what you know not. (Qur an 10:068)

20 Allah is not a father. In the Qur an 9:30-31, Mohammad repeats that Christians take lords besides Allah (Verse 31) because they claim Jesus is God s son. (Verse 30) What does Mohammad command his Muslims to do to Christians?

21 Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (Qur an 9:29)

22 The jizya is a poll tax or literally a protection tax. But what happens to the Christian who refuses to: Become Muslim? Pay the protection money? Denounce Jesus as God s son?

23 No Protection! Only Death!

24 Allah has no Holy Spirit. In Islamic theology Jibrail or Gabriel is also considered the Holy Spirit.

25 Allah is not a God of love. In Scripture God is said to be love (1 John 4:11) No where in any Islamic writing is Allah ever said to be of love. He is a God of justice.

26 Allah is a God of hate.... And Allah likes not (Hates, BIP) the Zalimun. (Qur an 3:140)

27 Allah is a liar. And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then Allah misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All- Mighty, the All-Wise. (Qur an 14:004)

28 Allah is a murderer. And do not kill anyone whose killing Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause. (Qur an 17:033)

29 Allah is a child molester. Muhammad married Aishah when she was seven years old. He consummated the marriage when she was nine.

30 Allah allows beheadings to his enemies. So, when you meet (in fight jihad in Allah s cause) those who disbelieve, smite (their) necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives)... (Qur an 47:004)

31 Allah permits wife-beating. "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property;...

32 Allah permits wife-beating.... the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and BEAT THEM; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great. (Qur an 4:34)

33 Allah is a God of Jihad. Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not. (Qur an 2:216)

34 Allah is a god of justice but lacks love. This combination creates a violent benefactor. Islamic monotheism drives the Da wah (preaching) and Jihad (Fighting)!

35 And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief or worshipping of others along with Allah) and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allah (Alone.)... (Qur an 2:193)

36 Muhammad The Messenger of Allah - Muhammad

37 Muhammad Muhammad was born into the Qurasyh tribe of the Meccans. Muhammad claims that Jibaril (Gabriel) spoke to him on numerous occasions. Over the years Jibaril supposedly revealed to Muhammad the Qur an.

38 Muhammad Muhammad was kicked out of Mecca because of his new found monotheism. So, he went to Medinah. This is called the Hajj. He returned to Mecca with an army defeating the Meccans and making Mecca his capital city. This is the beginning of the Islamic calender (anno hijra). We are in the year 1428 AH.

39 Muhammad For the first 13 years of Muhammad s preaching he converted 150 people. After a year in Medinah he allowed jihad and his people increased to...

40 Muhammad 10,000

41 Muhammad

42 Muhammad Muhammad married at least 15 women. His youngest wife was seven and he consummated the marriage when she was nine. This is not atypical of the pre-islamic Arabs of Muhammad s day.

43 So, who is this Mohammad whom 1.8 billion people follow?

44 Muhammad Muhammad is the last of all prophets. Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, The Israelis used to be ruled and guided by prophets: Whenever a prophet died, another would take over his place. There will be no prophet after me, but there will be Caliphs who will increase in number. (Sahih al- Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 661)

45 Muhammad Muhammad is the perfect example of humanity. Indeed the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah much. (Qur an 33:21)

46 Muhammad Muhammad alone revealed Allah s law. He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad), has indeed obeyed Allah, but he who turns away, then We have not sent you (O Muhammad) as a watcher over them. (Qur an 4:080)

47 Muhammad Muhammad is Allah s spokesman to the whole world. (Muhammad), We have sent you for no other reason but to be a mercy for mankind. (Muhammad Sarwar, Qur an 21:107)

48 Muhammad Muhammad is master of Jihad. But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. (Yusuf Ali, Qur an 9:5)

49 Muhammad Muhammad is master of Jihad. When you meet your enemies who are polytheists (which includes Christians), invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them...

50 Muhammad Muhammad is master of Jihad.... If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them" (Sahih Muslim, 19:4249)

51 Muhammad Muhammad is not a Deity. Say (O Muhammad): I am only a man like you. (Qur an 18:110)

52 Muhammad Muhammad is not to be blasphemed. Then they had turned away from him (Messenger Muhammad) and said: (He is) one taught (by a human being), a madman. (Qur an 44:014)

53 Muhammad Muhammad is not to be contradicted. Say (O Muhammad): Obey Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad). But if they turn away then Allah does not like the disbelievers. (Qur an 3:032)

54 Conclusion: There are few people who have the ability to affect and transform the world. For Christians Jesus is the one person who affected this world more than anyone else and for good.

55 Conclusion: Muhammad is also one of the world s movers and shakers on a global scale. He is the mind behind the largest and most violent theocracy that today exists. His theology is the driving force behind most terror groups today including Al-Qaeda, HAMAS and Hezbollah. This theocracy is not content to live within the Arabian deserts or to migrate to another nation and incorporate themselves into its culture.

56 Conclusion: This theocracy is bent on dominating the world forcing the world to submit to Islamic monotheism by eradicating any religion which it confronts and killing anyone who refuses.

57 Conclusion: He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islamic Monotheism) to make it victorious over all (other) religions even though the Mushrikin hate it. (Qur an 61:9)

58 Conclusion: Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary) will descend as a leader of the Muslims and it is a severe warning to the Christians who claim to be the followers of Isa (Jesus) and he will break the cross and kill the pigs, and he will abolish Jizyah (tax) and all mankind will be required to embrace Islam with no other alternative. (Noble Qur an, Commentary, 731)
