El Concepto de Dios en el Islam | Usted merece saber: En todos los idiomas se encuentran uno o más términos que son empleados para referirse a Dios, y en algunos casos, a deidades inferiores. Este no es el caso con la palabra Allah, que es el nombre del Unico Dios verdadero. Nada mas puede ser nombrado de tal manera, ésta […]
It is of note that the Old Testament expresses a similar idea, that God is one who is not "born", Isaiah 43:10 reads as follows:
"“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am He. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me."
Pay attention to the last line:
"Before me no God was formed (εγένετο)..."
The word for "formed" comes from the word γίνομαι (ginomai), which has a very special meaning, that is to be "born" (as per Dodson). Both Qur'an 112:3 and Isaiah 43:10 are conveying the idea that God cannot be formed, birthed (born), generated or made.
Interestingly, these are the exact same words in Greek that the New Testament uses to teach us about the origin of Jesus the Christ.
In John 1:14, he, Christ, was "made (ἐγένετο) into flesh...," with the word "egeneto" (ἐγένετο) coming from the word γίνομαι (ginomai) being used, a direct contradiction as to what is taught in the Qur'an and in Isaiah 43:10.
In Matthew 1:16, it once again reads that Jesus was ἐγεννήθη (egennethe), that is, one who was "born" or "given birth to".
The use of these terms are not coincidental, it is clear that Isaiah 43:10 in the Greek Septuagint directly teaches that God is not one who can be "born", "made", "formed" or "generated". The New Testament uses these same terms, their derivatives and synonyms to communicate to us that Christ Jesus was indeed "born", "made", "formed", and "generated", thereby teaching that he cannot possibly be a God.
Muhammad: Un profeta como Moisés | Usted merece saber: Por Dr. Jamal Badawi El Libro de Deuteronomio cita al profeta Moisés, que la paz sea con él (p), relatando lo que Dios le dijo: “Yo haré que salga de entre ellos un profeta como tú (Moisés), uno que sea compatriota (hermano) de ellos y que les diga lo que […]
In 1512 the astronomer Nicholas Copernicus put forward his theory that the Sun is motionless at the centre of the solar system, and that the planets revolve around it. The belief that the Sun is stationary was widespread amongst astronomers until the 20th century. It is now a well-established scientific fact that the Sun is not stationary, but is moving in an orbit around the centre of our Milky Way galaxy[5].
The Sun rotates on its axis once in about 27 days. This rotation was first detected by observing the motion of sunspots. The Sun's rotation axis is tilted by about 7.25 degrees from the axis of the Earth's orbit so we see more of the Sun's north pole in September of each year and more of its south pole in March.
The Quran mentions the orbit of the Sun:
{It is He who created night and day, the Sun and the Moon, each floating in its orbit.} (Quran 21:33)
The Quran would have been wrong according to astronomers just a couple of decades ago. But we now know that the Quranic account of the Sun’s motion is consistent with modern Astronomy.
Why it's impermissible for Muslims to say “Merry Christmas”
Christmas is just around the corner and many Muslims, especially those living in the West, will undoubtedly be surrounded by the atmosphere and vibe this holiday has to offer. The Christmas trees, lights, the gifts, the greetings…etc. The Christmas spirit will be manifested all over town. Naturally, many Muslims will say “Merry Christmas” to their fellow Christian friends as what is thought to be a token of kind gesture, respect and tolerance. It all seems traditional and harmless right ?
By consensus, greeting the Christians on Christmas is ruled as haram. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Congratulating the kuffaar on the rituals that belong only to them is haraam by consensus, as is congratulating them on their festivals and fasts by saying ‘A happy festival to you’ or ‘May you enjoy your festival,’ and so on.
No doubt, it's essential that we as Muslims display the utmost respect to all fellow beings regardless of religion. Islam teaches us co-existence and tolerance towards people of different faiths. No one should force his/her belief upon the other. “To you is your Deen, and to me is mine.”
However, we need to draw the line between what is respect and tolerance and what is overstepping the Islamic boundaries. Do we fully understand what it means to greet someone for Christmas, let alone celebrate it ? Do you really know what Christmas is all about ?
To many, it may be a surprise that some Christians don’t even celebrate nor agree with the practiced rituals of Christmas. Why ? Because Christmas has its roots associated with Paganism. Otherwise, it's a religious time to commemorate the birth of Jesus who some take as God and others as the son of God,
In hadith Qudsi: “ Allah says: “The son of Adam has lied against me but he has no right to do so, and he has abused me but he has no right to do so. As for his lie, it is his saying that I cannot recreate him as I did before. As for his abuse, it is his saying that I have a son, but I am glorified above taking a wife or a son.” (Bukhari)
Allah says in the Quran: “And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or offspring). You have certainly made an outrageous claim, by which the heavens are about to burst, the earth to split apart, and the mountains to crumble to pieces, that they ascribe a son (or offspring) to the Most Beneficent (Allah). But it does not befit for (the Majesty of) the Most Beneficent (Allah) that He should beget a son (or offspring There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Beneficent (Allah) as a slave. (Maryam 19:88-93)
Saying that Jesus is God or has taken a son is to us, the highest form of blasphemy against Allah and goes against our fundamental belief in Monotheism. So when we wish someone a Merry Christmas, we are indirectly saying : Have a happy time celebrating the birth of "God" or the "son of God". Wa nauzubillah
Let’s look at it in a different prescriptive. In Hinduism, Hindus associate certain animals with different gods and consider them to be sacred. The most sacred of them is the cow, and therefore, eating beef is considered a great sin in Hinduism. Now, do you think during Eid Al Adha, a Hindu will come to you and tell you Eid Mubarak ? Will you be offended if they don’t greet you knowing that what you are doing (sacrificing cows or “their gods”) is blasphemy to them. They have not stopped you from slaughtering your animal, nor have they spread hate, but for respect to their ‘gods’, they don’t see it befit to greet you for what they believe is a crime. And we Muslims should have more of a right that we respect Allah by avoiding such words of congratulations.
This is the exact attitude that we should embrace as Muslims. What Christians see as a traditional or spiritual practice, is considered blasphemous to us, therefore, there is no need to congratulate them for this occasion. We must respect those who choose to celebrate Christmas and not spread any hatred for practicing what they believe. But we should also be conscious of our Creator and the fundamentals of Islam. Sometimes we tend to ensure that we show the utmost respect for people of other faiths, and yet forget Allah’s rights over us.
Unfortunately, there will be Muslims who will continue to believe that it's okay to participate in Christmas, yet some Christians will continue to refuse to take part in such holiday.
