Είναι η Καινή Διαθήκη ο Λόγος του Θεού - Ελληνικά: Είναι η Καινή Διαθήκη ο Λόγος του Θεού; Αυτό το βιβλίο απαντάει στο ερώτημα αν η Καινή Διαθήκη αποτελεί το Λόγο του Θεού ή όχι. Επίσης διαψεύεται ότι η συγγραφή των ευαγγελίων και των επιστολών έγινε από τους μαθητές του Ιησού. Το βιβλίο αυτό μιλάει για το πρωτότυπο Ευαγγέλιο του Χριστού, τα λάθη που έχουν τα Ευαγγέλια και τις αλλοιώσεις που έγιναν στην Καινή Διαθήκη. Αναλύει τις αντιφάσεις που υπάρχουν μεταξύ των Ευαγγελίων, καθώς και για τη νομοθετική και ηθική επίδραση της Καινής Διαθήκης.

The Last Revelation - English - Naji Ibrahim Al Arfaj
The Last Revelation - English - Naji Ibrahim Al Arfaj: The Glorious Qur’an is the Final Revelation (the Last Testament), revealed by God (Allah) to Prophet Muhammad. The Qur’an is a divine constitution sent down to regulate and govern our human life. It speaks with the perfect knowledge of the Creator about His creation. It reveals the truth and invites humankind to the way of that truth. It contains important information about human destiny. It educates and raises people to the highest spiritual, moral, intellectual, and social levels as they strive to comprehend it and apply its teachings.
On the Crucifixion -
On the Crucifixion -
I was asked a question by a Christian apologist regarding my views on the crucifixion, the following was my response:
I believe that Christians made it appear as if Christ was crucified through their stories and eventually in the Gospel traditions. Allow me to quote Gunnar Samuelsson here, who writes in his "Crucifixion in Antiquity: An Inquiry into the Background and Significance of the New Testament Terminology of Crucifixion", the following:
"Concise - and very uninformative. Mark's account is remarkably silent on the theme of the punishment method. Matthew's words are fairly close to Mark." (p. 246)
In continuing from the above quote, he goes on to state:
"The other gospels are no exception."
Later, he says:
"The New Testament authors are strikingly silent about the punishment Jesus had to suffer on Calvary. The vivid pictures
of the death of Jesus in the theology and art of the church - and among scholars - do not have their main source here. Perhaps crucifixion as it is known today did not even come into being on Calvary, but in the Christian interpretation of the event." (p. 304)
of the death of Jesus in the theology and art of the church - and among scholars - do not have their main source here. Perhaps crucifixion as it is known today did not even come into being on Calvary, but in the Christian interpretation of the event." (p. 304)
Finally he quotes Raymond Brown who says:
"We now come to the centerpiece of passion, the crucifixion itself, more often portrayed in art than any other scene in history - with great variation in the shape and position of the crosses, in how Jesus is affixed to the cross, in how he is clothed, in his expressions of anguish, etc. Yet in all comparable literature, has so crucial a moment ever been phrased so briefly and uninformatively?" (p. 247)
This is where proper exegesis of Qur'an 4:157 needs to be done, for it says:
"and for boasting, “We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” But they neither killed nor crucified him—it was only made to appear so."
The Qur'an does not say *Allah made it appear so*, rather that it merely says it was made to appear in this way but not by whom. In this case, given my studies of the New Testament, I hold the view that the New Testament authors made it appear so through development of their tradition. This is what scholars would refer to as "myth-making", much like popular hagiographies of that time (see Dr. Moss).
"Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever—only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him."
I would say the quotes above and the insufficient textual exemplars for the Gospel tradition affirm in great part what the Qur'an teaches on this issue.
Not all Christians believed Christ died, or was crucified himself as Epiphanius' Panarion teaches. Allow me to quote Dale C. Allison Jr. on my perspective (he is not writing on the crucifixion here):
"Even more clear-eyed was Origen, who in the third century anticipated modern criticism by candidly observing that at “many points” the four Gospels “do not agree.” He inferred that their truth cannot reside in “the material letter:” The Evangelists “sometimes altered things which, from the eye of history, occurred otherwise.” They could “speak of something thing that happened in one place as if it had happened in another, or of what happened at a certain time as if it had happened at another time,” and they introduced “into what was spoken in a certain way some changes of their own.” “The spiritual truth was often preserved, one might say, in the material falsehood.”

Van Doorn: As I said before: study Islam, step over your prejudges, and you will see that the Islam is actually a beautiful and very pure religion, with a great history and high standards. We take care for each other in prosperity and adversity. It gives innerpeace and wisdom, and it deepends your spiritual live. Life is more than money and materialism (the typical "western success factor”). You will become a stronger and better person.

Van Doorn: Again: prejudgement is the cause, based on lack of knowledge. You can find fanatics in any religion, all over the world. Unfortunately the 1% fanatics are showed on tv and other newsmedia, and their influence is magnified. 99% of the Muslims is hardworking and peaceable. If more people will study the true Islam, the more people will see the beauty of it.

Van Doorn: I can only guess. The Western influencials and most politicians don’t like religion in any form. The less people belief, the more people are depending of other values, like economy, money, consumption and material prosperity. Western industrials want people basically to consume, instead of searching for inner strength. "Spending and consuming” should by the standard for happyness. "Believers” are stronger and less dependent of those issues. It is not in the interest of politicians and other influencials that people should become more independent of them and develop other insights. This is also what I tell them who are hesistant between belief and disbelief.

MARRIAGE IS HARD WORK
MARRIAGE IS HARD WORK
Many years ago, I used to interpret the saying "Marriage is not for small boys" to mean small boys in terms of age, until I visited a female mentor that has been in marriage for 47 years.
I asked, so what is the secret of your over 47 years in marriage?
Beaming, she retorted; My son, the expectations you bring into marriage will either spell its doom or success. I married my husband without expectations of enjoying his money or buying cars for me, but with time, my patience, hard work and God-fearing attitude yielded results of getting cars, houses, taking care of our children and all that.

I married my husband without expectations of enjoying his money or buying cars for me, but with time, my patience, hard work and God-fearing attitude yielded results of getting cars, houses, taking care of our children and all that.
You see, if a married lady keeps on nagging in the house, she pushes the spirit of her husband from the home. If you make the man unhappy, you make the house uncomfortable.
So, I married without high expectations from my husband but simply to make him happy always.
Yes, for the past 47 years, I would be the first to get up from bed and the last to go back to bed. I bath the kids, do devotions with them, prepare breakfast for my husband and boil hot water for him to bath. I iron his clothes he would take to work, kiss him and wish him the best in his daily endeavours.
I asked my old woman, so then what does the man do in return? She laughed all heart and hearty and replied; You see, this is the mistake you young ones make in marriage.
I asked my old woman, so then what does the man do in return? She laughed all heart and hearty and replied; You see, this is the mistake you young ones make in marriage.
YOU DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR HUSBAND OR WIFE AND EXPECT SAME REWARD FROM HIM OR HER, THIS IS WRONG!
When it becomes your attitude to only please your husband or wife always, the other person responds naturally. Indeed, if nothing touches the palm tree, it doesn't rattle.
She continued, my son, never carry "how rich or poor your family is" into marriage. After all, you knew very well the status of your family and decided to marry that man or woman.
Love only compels/leads would-be couples into marriage but it doesn't sustain marriage. Rather, understanding, patience, communication and most importantly, forgiveness sustain every marriage. High expectations are the symptoms of divorce in marriages.
Sometimes you hear, I want to marry a mother, a business partner, God fearing person etc. You cannot get all your expectations in one person. With time and depending on your relationship, you may get some. So minimise your expectations in marriage.
To cut the long story short, as too many cooks spoil the broth, she concluded on the mistakes a couple should resist at all cost in marriage:
1) Never say you have made your wife or husband somebody from a nobody. It hurts. God only used you as an agent for transformation, give the glory to Allah swt.
2) Let the man be head of the home no matter the financial, economic,
physical and emotional health situation prevailing in the couple's life whilst the woman exercises diligence in the use of the tongue.
physical and emotional health situation prevailing in the couple's life whilst the woman exercises diligence in the use of the tongue.
3) Having children should not be the ultimate objective in marriage. They are given to enhance your marriage. When Allah swt delays in giving you a child, have every reason to live a happy marital life.
4) Sex is a major morale booster after a hard day's stressful life. Try to be sexual beings and not "Angels" in that marriage
5) Resort to Allah swt often and less to men to solve your marital disputes.
5) Resort to Allah swt often and less to men to solve your marital disputes.
6) Let the women " Make up" their characters much more than they make up their body.
Indeed, marriage is not for small boys because small boys struggle to forgive, demand everything speedily, lack the patience to wait, have so many friends etc.
Make every effort to let that marriage work and may Allah swt help us.
