Mohammad Jamal Norvilla GOD DOES NOT BECOME A MAN (HOSEA 11:9) BECAUSE HE DOES NOT CHANGE (MALACHI 3:6). AND IN THE KING VERSION, NUMBERS 23:19 SAID: GOD IS NOT A MAN THAT HE SHOULD LIE, NEITHER THE SON OF MAN THAT HE SHOULD REPENT. YOUR FALSE GOD REPENTED WHEN ...HE CREATED MAN (GENESIS 6:6). SO JESUS IS NOT A GOD WHO BECAME A MAN BECAUSE ACCORDING TO HIM FROM THE BIBLE HE IS THE SON OF MAN (MATTHEW 9:6/ 12:40/ MARK 2:10/ LUKE 19:10/ JOHN 3:13). AND ACCORDING TO THE ANGEL THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF MARY IN LUKE 1:29-31, PLUS IN JOB 25:4 IN KING JAMES VERSION, SAID: HOW THEN CAN MAN BE JUSTIFIED WITH GOD? OR HOW CAN HE BE CLEAN THAT BORN OF A WOMAN? IN OTHER WORDS, HOW CAN YOU COMPARE GOD TO A MAN WHO IS BORN FROM THE WOMB OF HIS MOTHER WHICH IS NOT CLEAN? O MY GOD, IF I WERE YOU I HAVE TO EMBRACE ISLAM (PEACE) BECAUSE THIS RELIGION HAS BEEN LEFT FOR US BY JESUS (JOHN 14:27) RATHER THAN THE 22, 190 RELIGIONS OF CHRISTIANITY (CHRISTIAN WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA, 1984, PAGE 17). ALLAH SAID: IF ANYONE DESIRES A RELIGION OTHER THAN PEACE (ISLAM), IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED OF HIM, AND IN THE HEREAFTER HE WILL BE AMONG THE RANKS OF THE LOSERS (QUR'AN 3:85).See More

Our Christian brothers and sisters fail to understand that, not answering the questions, using the joke "Jesus loves you", are old fashioned techniques that are so out dated. Jesus NEVER EVER, said to his people that they should preach to other nations rather than "the lost sheep of the house of Israel". Matthew 10:5-6 "go ye not into the way of the Gentiles".
"Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'" Matthew 4:10 ... Whoever teaches 3=tri gods ... is a pagan, idol worshiper of created things & NOT A WORSHIPER OF THE REAL TRUE LORD GOD CREATOR OF ALL things. Why are U ppl so Anti-Jesus' teachings... sheesh ... talk about anti-christ ... Muslims are Pro-Jesus' TRUE TEACHINGS. Its the same as all the Prophets ... One Lord God. Simple ... its the devils who came along & confused the poor ppl. How have u been so easily fooled away from the ways of the Prophets?
: What evidence proves that Jesus was not a God, but only a messenger from God?
Morsy Aboelfwares Jesus Christ (pbuh), following both the Gospels and the Qur’an, was born of the virgin Mary, who was just like any other human being. It is common knowledge that whoever is born cannot be deified. Jesus Christ was a human being who used to eat and drink just like anybody else. He was susceptible to hunger, grief and/or merriment. He experienced all the paraphernalia pertaining to human life. His miraculous creation from no father is no stranger than that of Adam, a being who was both fatherless and motherless. This is an evidence of God’s omnipotence. Jesus Christ was no more than a servant to, and messenger of God, who revealed the scripture in order to promulgate it and carry out His call. On the day of judgement Jesus Christ is not to be judged because of those who deified him in exclusion of God or thought of him as parallel. In the Qur’an we have a mentioning of this, where in the hereafter God will ask Jesus if he had asked his followers to deify him, whereby Jesus will answer God by saying: “If you punish them, they are your slaves, and if you forgive them, verily, you, only you, are the all-Mighty, the all-Wise” (Holy Qur’an: 5: 118). Here is one more reply to the one who seeks an evidence as to the deification of Jesus Christ, while he has none of the qualities of God. Whatever miracles he performed emanated from God, just as He supported other prophets.

The old testament condems idol worship;"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"
"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."
[The Bible, Exodus 20:3-5]
There is nothing that looks like God as mentioned in the Holy Quran ;
1
Say: He is Allah the One and Only;
2
Allah the Eternal Absolute;
3
He begetteth not nor is He begotten;
4
And there is none like unto Him.
The same in the bible
"I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me."
[The Bible, Isaiah 46:9] Jesus can not be God because he looks nothing like him!!!!

real killing for all in the bible
The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your children will die at birth or perish in the womb or never even be conceived. Even if your children do survive to grow up, I will take them from you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone. I have watched Israel become as beautiful and pleasant as Tyre. But now Israel will bring out her children to be slaughtered." O LORD, what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don't give birth and breasts that give no milk. The LORD says, "All their wickedness began at Gilgal; there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my land because of their evil actions. I will love them no more because all their leaders are rebels. The people of Israel are stricken. Their roots are dried up; they will bear no more fruit. And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children." (Hosea 9:11-16 NLT)
Kill Men, Women, and Children
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)
God Kills all the First Born of Egypt
And at midnight the LORD killed all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn son of the captive in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of their livestock were killed. Pharaoh and his officials and all the people of Egypt woke up during the night, and loud wailing was heard throughout the land of Egypt. There was not a single house where someone had not died. (Exodus 12:29-30 NLT)
Kill Old Men and Young Women
"You are my battle-ax and sword," says the LORD. "With you I will shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms. With you I will shatter armies, destroying the horse and rider, the chariot and charioteer. With you I will shatter men and women, old people and children, young men and maidens. With you I will shatter shepherds and flocks, farmers and oxen, captains and rulers. "As you watch, I will repay Babylon and the people of Babylonia for all the wrong they have done to my people in Jerusalem," says the LORD. "Look, O mighty mountain, destroyer of the earth! I am your enemy," says the LORD. "I will raise my fist against you, to roll you down from the heights. When I am finished, you will be nothing but a heap of rubble. You will be desolate forever. Even your stones will never again be used for building. You will be completely wiped out," says the LORD. (Jeremiah 51:20-26)
(Note that after God promises the Israelites a victory against Babylon, the Israelites actually get their butts kicked by them in the next chapter. So much for an all-knowing and all-powerful God.)
God Will Kill the Children of Sinners
If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted. (Leviticus 26:21-22 NLT)

Misconception # 1
I pray, dont I?
Whats the big deal if I dont give Zakaah?
Zakaah is one of the PILLARS of Islam and NOT an option. It is just as important to ones faith as Salaah. In fact, anyone who denies it is a Kaafir and the Prophet (pbuh) and his Sahaba waged war against such persons even though they uttered the Shahadah and prayed Salaah.
About such people Abu Bakr said: "By God! I shall certainly wage war against the people who discriminate between Salaah and Zakaah." (Bukhaari, Muslim)
Misconception # 2:
But it will decrease my wealth!
Abu Hurayra said that the Prophet (pbuh) said,
"Whoever is given wealth by Allaah and does not pay the Zakaah due thereupon shall find that on the Day of Arising it is made to appear to him as a hairless snake with two black specks, which chains him, and then seizes him by his jaw and says, -I am your wealth! I am your treasure!'
Then he recited the verse, Let not those who are miserly with what God has given them of His bounty think that this is good for them. Rather, it is bad for them. That which they withhold shall be hung around their necks on the Day of Arising. [3:180] (Bukhaari)
Misconception #3:
I dont have to pay Zakaah every year.
Zakaah is an obligation that must be paid each year. The Prophet (pbuh) used to send the zakaah-collectors to the tribes and cities, and they did not differentiate between those who had paid their zakaah the previous year and those who had not, rather they used to take the zakaah that was due on all the “zakaatable” wealth that people possessed.
Misconception # 4:
I never paid Zakaah before.
I will just repent and that should be enough
The one who never paid Zakaah before should repent to Allaah first. Then he should estimate the amount of Zakaah that was due on him over the years as best he can, and pay it as soon as possible
Misconception # 5:
I dont have to pay Zakaah if I owe a debt
The one who has any “zakatable” wealth must pay zakaah on it, when one year has passed since he acquired it, even if he has debts, according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions. The Prophet (pbuh) used to command his agents to take zakaah from those who owed zakaah, and he did not tell them to ask them whether they had any debts or not. (Majmoo Fataawa -Abd al-Azeez ibn Baaz)
Misconception # 6:
I will waive my debt and count that as Zakaah
The Prophet (pbuh) said to Muaadh ibn Jabal, when he sent him to Yemen: “Teach them that Allaah has enjoined upon them zakaah on their wealth, to be taken from their rich and given to their poor.”
He (pbuh) explained that zakaah is something which is to be taken and given, so on this basis it is not permissible to let off someone who owes you money and count that as zakaah, because letting someone off a debt does not involve taking and giving.
(Fataawa Manaar al-Islam by Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen)
Shaykh al-Islam said: “letting someone off a debt does not relieve one of the obligation of zakaah, and there is no scholarly dispute on this matter. But you can give this needy person some of your zakaah and he can meet his needs using what you give him as zakaah; and Allaah will help him to pay off his debt in the future, inshaAllaah.”
Misconception #7:
I have lent someone some money. I dont have to pay Zakaah on it.
In this situation, there can be two scenarios;
1. If the borrower is rich and is known to repay debts promptly: The lender has to pay Zakaah annually on the money lent, because it is possible to recover the money readily and it is like money that is in ones possession.
2. If it is unlikely that the lender will get his money back or the borrower is known to delay repayment: Then the lender does not have to pay zakaah before he gets the money back, because it is not readily accessible and is not like money that is in ones possession.
Misconception # 8:
I pay my taxes so I dont have to pay Zakaah!
The taxes we pay are to Uncle Sam/govt , not to Allaah to Whom the Zakaah is due. And this Zakaah money is to be only spent according to the rules of Shareeah in certain specific ways. Thus, it is not permissible for the taxes we pay on our wealth to be counted as part of Zakaah. The obligatory Zakaah must be paid separately.
Misconception # 9:
I will use the money that I receive from my bank as interest to pay off Zakaah
First of all, putting money in the bank in return for interest is a kind of riba which Allaah and His Messenger have forbidden, and it is a major sin. The Prophet(pbuh) cursed the one who consumes riba and the one who pays it. (Muslim)
This money cannot be used to pay Zakaah or other kinds of charity since it is impure and a haraam form of wealth.
Misconception # 10:
I will pay Zakaah on whatever is OVER the Nisaab
If ones wealth surpasses the amount of nisaab, then Zakaah is due upon it ALL, and not upon the surplus only.
Misconception #11:
Zakaah is due on precious gems, stones and diamonds
No zakaah is due on gems, precious stones, diamonds, etc. unless they are prepared for trade, in which case they come under the same ruling as all other trade goods
Misconception # 12:
I will buy diamonds so that I dont have to pay Zakaah
Some people try to get out of Zakaah by investing in diamonds, since no Zakaah is due on them, and think they can outsmart Allah.
Doesnt Allaah know whats in our hearts and minds?
They forget that Zakaah is due on them if they are prepared for trade. “They seek to deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive none except themselves, though they do not sense it.“ (Surah al-Baqarah: 9)
Misconception # 13:
The husband HAS to pay Zakaah on the wifes jewelry and wealth
It is NOT the husbands duty to pay Zakaah on his wifes jewelry, wealth, etc. Rather, it is her responsibility, since she is the possessor of the wealth. If her husband or someone else pays zakaah on her behalf with her permission, that is o.k., and he will be rewarded for this voluntary action.
Misconception # 14:
I only have gold, but I do not have any money. So, I dont have to pay Zakaah….
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen said:“ Zakaah must be paid on jewelry if it reaches the nisaab (minimum threshold), which is 85 grams. If it reaches this amount, zakaah must be paid on it. If she has other wealth and pays from that, there is nothing wrong with it. If her husband or one of her relatives pays it on her behalf, there is nothing wrong with that. If neither of these options is available to her, then she should sell some of it and pay zakaah with that money.”
Misconception # 15:
I will use my Zakaah money on my immediate family
Shaykh Ibn Baaz said: “The Muslim cannot give his zakaah to his parents or to his wife and children; rather he is obliged to spend on them from his wealth if they need that and he is able to spend on them.”
Misconception # 16:
I cannot give Zakaah to my poor relatives
It is actually preferable for a person to give their zakaah to a brother, sister, paternal uncle, paternal aunt or to any other relative, if they are poor. This is because, giving zakaah to them is both an act of charity and upholding family ties.
The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Charity given to the poor is charity and charity given to a relative is charity and upholding of family ties.” (Ahmad, al-Nasaa’i)
Misconception # 17:
A woman cannot give Zakaah to her Husband
It is okay for a woman to give zakaah to her husband, if he is qualified to receive zakaah, because she is not obliged to spend on him. Also, the Prophet (pbuh) gave permission to the wife of Abd-Allaah ibn Masood to give her zakaah to her husband
Misconception # 18:
Zakaah can be given to Non-Muslims if they are poor
It is not permissible to give Zakaah to any kaafir except the one who is inclined towards Islam, in the hope that he will become Muslim if you give him zakaah (al-Tawbah:60).
Misconception # 19:
I will use Zakaah to build hospitals, masjid and orphanages
That is not permissible, because this is not included in the eight categories on which zakaah may be spent.
Allaah tells us that Zakaah may be spent on the following:
“As-Sadaqaat (Zakaah) are only
for the Fuqaraa (poor),
and Al-Masaakeen (the poor)
and those employed to collect (the funds);
and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam);
and to free the captives;
and for those in debt;
and for Allaah’s Cause (Mujaahidoon — those fighting in a holy battle),
and for the wayfarer (a traveler who is cut off from everything)” [al-Tawbah:60]
But if the intention in giving the money to an orphanage is so that this money will be spent on the poor orphans, then this is permissible, if the orphans are poor.
Similarly, Zakaah cannot be used to print Quraans and other Dawah material.
Misconception # 20:
Zakaah is the same as Zakaat ul-Fitr
Zakaat al-Fitr is NOT the same as Zakaah. These are two separate entities and whoever paid Zakaah is NOT relieved of paying Zakaat al-Fitr and vice-versa.
Misconception # 21:
I have to inform the one I am giving, that it is Zakaah
You do not have to tell the recipient that it is zakaah.

2. If it is unlikely that the lender will get his money back or the borrower is known to delay repayment: Then the lender does not have to pay zakaah before he gets the money back, because it is not readily accessible and is not like money that is in ones possession.
Misconception # 8:
I pay my taxes so I dont have to pay Zakaah!
The taxes we pay are to Uncle Sam/govt , not to Allaah to Whom the Zakaah is due. And this Zakaah money is to be only spent according to the rules of Shareeah in certain specific ways. Thus, it is not permissible for the taxes we pay on our wealth to be counted as part of Zakaah. The obligatory Zakaah must be paid separately.
Misconception # 9:
I will use the money that I receive from my bank as interest to pay off Zakaah
First of all, putting money in the bank in return for interest is a kind of riba which Allaah and His Messenger have forbidden, and it is a major sin. The Prophet(pbuh) cursed the one who consumes riba and the one who pays it. (Muslim)
This money cannot be used to pay Zakaah or other kinds of charity since it is impure and a haraam form of wealth.
Misconception # 10:
I will pay Zakaah on whatever is OVER the Nisaab
If ones wealth surpasses the amount of nisaab, then Zakaah is due upon it ALL, and not upon the surplus only.
Misconception #11:
Zakaah is due on precious gems, stones and diamonds
No zakaah is due on gems, precious stones, diamonds, etc. unless they are prepared for trade, in which case they come under the same ruling as all other trade goods
Misconception # 12:
I will buy diamonds so that I dont have to pay Zakaah
Some people try to get out of Zakaah by investing in diamonds, since no Zakaah is due on them, and think they can outsmart Allah.
Doesnt Allaah know whats in our hearts and minds?
They forget that Zakaah is due on them if they are prepared for trade. “They seek to deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive none except themselves, though they do not sense it.“ (Surah al-Baqarah: 9)
Misconception # 13:
The husband HAS to pay Zakaah on the wifes jewelry and wealth
It is NOT the husbands duty to pay Zakaah on his wifes jewelry, wealth, etc. Rather, it is her responsibility, since she is the possessor of the wealth. If her husband or someone else pays zakaah on her behalf with her permission, that is o.k., and he will be rewarded for this voluntary action.
Misconception # 14:
I only have gold, but I do not have any money. So, I dont have to pay Zakaah….
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen said:“ Zakaah must be paid on jewelry if it reaches the nisaab (minimum threshold), which is 85 grams. If it reaches this amount, zakaah must be paid on it. If she has other wealth and pays from that, there is nothing wrong with it. If her husband or one of her relatives pays it on her behalf, there is nothing wrong with that. If neither of these options is available to her, then she should sell some of it and pay zakaah with that money.”
Misconception # 15:
I will use my Zakaah money on my immediate family
Shaykh Ibn Baaz said: “The Muslim cannot give his zakaah to his parents or to his wife and children; rather he is obliged to spend on them from his wealth if they need that and he is able to spend on them.”
Misconception # 16:
I cannot give Zakaah to my poor relatives
It is actually preferable for a person to give their zakaah to a brother, sister, paternal uncle, paternal aunt or to any other relative, if they are poor. This is because, giving zakaah to them is both an act of charity and upholding family ties.
The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Charity given to the poor is charity and charity given to a relative is charity and upholding of family ties.” (Ahmad, al-Nasaa’i)
Misconception # 17:
A woman cannot give Zakaah to her Husband
It is okay for a woman to give zakaah to her husband, if he is qualified to receive zakaah, because she is not obliged to spend on him. Also, the Prophet (pbuh) gave permission to the wife of Abd-Allaah ibn Masood to give her zakaah to her husband
Misconception # 18:
Zakaah can be given to Non-Muslims if they are poor
It is not permissible to give Zakaah to any kaafir except the one who is inclined towards Islam, in the hope that he will become Muslim if you give him zakaah (al-Tawbah:60).
Misconception # 19:
I will use Zakaah to build hospitals, masjid and orphanages
That is not permissible, because this is not included in the eight categories on which zakaah may be spent.
Allaah tells us that Zakaah may be spent on the following:
“As-Sadaqaat (Zakaah) are only
for the Fuqaraa (poor),
and Al-Masaakeen (the poor)
and those employed to collect (the funds);
and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam);
and to free the captives;
and for those in debt;
and for Allaah’s Cause (Mujaahidoon — those fighting in a holy battle),
and for the wayfarer (a traveler who is cut off from everything)” [al-Tawbah:60]
But if the intention in giving the money to an orphanage is so that this money will be spent on the poor orphans, then this is permissible, if the orphans are poor.
Similarly, Zakaah cannot be used to print Quraans and other Dawah material.
Misconception # 20:
Zakaah is the same as Zakaat ul-Fitr
Zakaat al-Fitr is NOT the same as Zakaah. These are two separate entities and whoever paid Zakaah is NOT relieved of paying Zakaat al-Fitr and vice-versa.
Misconception # 21:
I have to inform the one I am giving, that it is Zakaah
You do not have to tell the recipient that it is zakaah.

"If a person converted to Islam and Islam to be good, Allah will remove all the evil that has been done. After that, he will be rewarded which is any good, Allah will be rewarded ten to seven hundred times. While his crimes reply (only) his crime was worth it, except if Allah forgive him. "(HR Bukhary 1 / 72)
dairy of bitch in the bible
EZEKIEL16 You offered yourself to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your acts of harlotry. You also committed harlotry with the Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to provoke Me to anger. Behold, therefore, I stretched out My hand against you, diminished your allotment, and gave you up to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior. You also played the harlot with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied. Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry as far as the land of the trader, Chaldea; and even then you were not satisfied. How degenerate is your heart
