From them, He spread many men and women across the earth. However, they would not be able to worship Him in the proper manner except through His messengers, whom He sends to guide people to the correct way of worshiping Him.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n All of these messengers, from Adam (peace and blessings be upon him) to the final messenger, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), were human beings with the same core belief: calling people to worship Allah alone without associating any partners with Him. This belief serves as the distinguishing factor between a believer and a disbeliever.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n The previous divine scriptures were subjected to alteration and distortion because Allah did not guarantee their preservation, as they were revealed for specific nations at specific times. The Torah, which was revealed to Moses (peace and blessings be upon him) for the Children of Israel, was later corrupted due to various influences that led them astray from the teachings of Moses [See 2 Kings 22:8<\/em>, where it is claimed that the Torah was found after being lost for centuries]. So Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, sent Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) and revealed the Injeel to him to complete the law of Moses, to rectify what people had corrupted, and to bring them back to the right path.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n However, people exaggerated in their reverence for Jesus (peace be upon him), elevating him to the status of a god or the son of God, due to the miraculous nature of his birth, -being born of a mother without a father-, and his ability to speak in infancy. Yet, Adam (peace be upon him) was created without a father or a mother, and he was never considered a god or the son of God. It was simply the command of Allah, who, whenever He wills something, says to it, "Be," and it is:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n {Indeed, the example of Jesus in the sight of Allah is like that of Adam. He created him from dust, then He said to him, ‘Be,’ and he was.}<\/em> (Aal-Imran 3:59)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Likewise, the miracles that Allah performed through Jesus, such as raising the dead, healing the sick, creating birds from clay, foretelling hidden matters, and bringing down a table from the heavens, were all carried out by Allah’s permission and will -not by the independent power of Jesus himself-. These miracles were meant to affirm his mission and validate his message.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Such miracles were not exclusive to Jesus (peace be upon him). Other prophets before him were also granted extraordinary miracles. By the permission of Allah, Ezekiel raised a vast army of the dead (Ezekiel 37:1-9<\/em>). Likewise, Elijah revived a dead boy (1 Kings 17:21<\/em>), and another prophet, Elisha, also raised the dead (2 Kings 4:32<\/em>) and miraculously fed a hundred men with just twenty loaves of barley bread (2 Kings 4:42<\/em>). Even after his death, Elisha’s body brought a dead man back to life by the permission of Allah (2 Kings 13:20<\/em>). Abraham (peace be upon him) was thrown into fire, yet it did not burn him, and through him, Allah brought the dead back to life [Quran <\/em>2:260<\/em>]. David (peace be upon him) was granted the ability to soften iron and shape it as he wished, and Allah made the mountains and birds glorify Him alongside David. Solomon (peace be upon him) was given control over jinn and devils, the ability to speak with birds and animals, and command over the winds.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n In contrast, the message of Islam was divinely preserved, without any distortion or alteration, because Allah promised to protect it as a universal message for all of humanity until the end of time. Islam upholds the true belief that is in harmony with reason and logic. It has placed Jesus (peace be upon him) in his rightful status as a noble prophet of Allah. The Islamic creed concerning Allah is clearly stated in the Quran:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n {Say, He is Allah, the One. (1) Allah, the Self-Sufficient (and the Eternal Refuge). (2) He neither begets nor is He begotten. (3) And there is none comparable to Him. (4)"<\/em> (Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n This belief affirms that Jesus (peace be upon him) was a human being and a messenger:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n {The Messiah (Jesus), the son of Mary, was nothing more than a Messenger; many Messengers had passed before him. His mother, Mary, was a truthful woman who had unwavering faith. Both of them ate food (i.e., they were humans and not gods, while Allah does not eat). See how We make Our verses (and signs) clear to them; yet, look at how they turn away (from the truth)!} <\/em>(Al-Ma'idah 5:75)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Jesus (peace be upon him) was a servant of Allah whom Allah honored with prophethood:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n {(Mention, O Muhammad) when Allah will say (on the Day of Judgment): 'O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favor upon you and upon your mother: how I supported you with the holy spirit (the angel Gabriel) so that you spoke to the people from the cradle (defending your mother against the Jews who accused her of immorality) and later when you became an adult (beginning your mission of calling them to the religion of Allah); how I taught you writing, wisdom (understanding of religion), the Torah, and the Injil (the original Gospel of Jesus); how you fashioned from clay the form of a bird, by My permission, and then you breathed into it, and it became a bird, by My permission; how you healed those born blind and the lepers, by My permission; how you brought the dead back to life, by My permission; how I restrained the Children of Israel from harming you (when they planned to kill you) after you came to them with clear proofs. Yet, the disbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but clear magic.’} <\/em>(Al-Ma'idah 5:110)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Islam also honors Mary (peace be upon her), considering her one of the best women on earth:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n {And (mention, O Muhammad) when the angels said: 'O Mary! Indeed, Allah has chosen you (for your devotion in worship and your noble character), purified you (from any bad traits), and chosen you above all the women of the world (of your time).'}<\/em> (Aal-Imran 3:42)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n She was pure and free from sin:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n {And (Allah also presents as a good example for the believers) Mary (the mother of Jesus), the daughter of Imran, who guarded her chastity. So We commanded Our angel (Gabriel) to breathe into a slit in her garment, (and thus she conceived Jesus). She believed in the Words of her Lord and His Books and was among the devoutly obedient.}<\/em> (At-Tahrim 66:12)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Islam also teaches that sin and accountability are individual responsibilities:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n {Whoever is guided, their guidance is only for their own benefit, and whoever goes astray, their misguidance is only against them. No (sinful) soul will bear the burden of another. And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning first).}<\/em> (Al-Isra 17:15)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Furthermore, Islam emphasizes that no matter how much a person sins, they can always repent:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n {Say (O Muhammad, that Allah says): 'O My servants (of Allah) who have transgressed against themselves through excessive sins! Do not despair of the mercy of Allah (thinking that He will not forgive you), for indeed, Allah forgives all sins (for those who turn to Him in repentance). Indeed, He is Al-Ghafur (the All-Forgiving), Ar-Rahim (the Most Merciful).'}<\/em> (Az-Zumar 39:53)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Islam establishes a direct relationship between Allah and His servants without the need for intermediaries:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n {And when My servants ask you (O Muhammad) about Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the supplication of the caller when he calls upon Me (without any intermediary). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be rightly guided.}<\/em> (Al-Baqarah 2:186)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n The goal of this book is to promote goodwill towards people and encourage them to cooperate in righteousness and piety. It also aims to serve as a means of saving many who have gone astray by adopting a false belief that is neither supported by sound logic nor reason. Such a belief leads to undesirable consequences, for indeed, Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him, but He forgives anything less than that for whomever He wills.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n The author has excellently conveyed the truth that is hidden from many adherents of Christianity in an engaging style, relying on rational evidence, logical arguments, and textual proofs from the Bible to demonstrate the human nature of Jesus (peace be upon him).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n I believe that any enlightened person, free from religious fanaticism and political biases, upon reading this book, will recognize the falsehood of considering Jesus (peace be upon him) as a god or the son of God. They will come to realize the true nature of Jesus as a human being, a servant of Allah, and a prophet sent to convey Allah’s message.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n My sincere prayers are that every reader of this book is guided to know the truth, accept it, and call others to it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n And our final supplication is that all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all worlds.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n Dr. Abd Ar-Rahman bin Abd Al-Karim Al-Sheha<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Author’s Introduction<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Praise be to Allah, who sent Muhammad as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner, a caller to Allah by His permission and an illuminating lamp, and who favored his companions and granted them great merit. May Allah send abundant and continuous peace and blessings upon Muhammad, his family, and his companions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n A Message of Love for Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him):<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n The love of Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) is deeply rooted in the heart of every Muslim and Christian. Each of them is willing to sacrifice their life and wealth for him. If Jesus were to appear today, all sincere Muslims and Christians would follow him and stand behind him. In fact, if Jesus were to appear now, he would follow the teachings of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), as the Prophet Muhammad (\ufdfa<\/span>) said: "If Moses were alive, he would have had no choice but to follow me."<\/span><\/strong> (Authenticated by Al-Albani).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Thus, we all wish to follow the true religion, creed, and teachings of Jesus (\ufdfa<\/span>) so that we may be true and sincere followers. However, those who lie about Jesus (\ufdfa<\/span>) are the ones who attribute to him a religion, beliefs, and teachings that he neither preached nor knew of.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n I have studied the creed of Jesus (\ufdfa<\/span>), his teachings, and the history of the Church, and I found a fundamental difference between the doctrine of Jesus (\ufdfa<\/span>) and the doctrine currently taught by the Church. Initially, this difference was small, but over time, it grew and led to major theological problems. The Church attempted to resolve these issues by inventing new ideas, but these ideas only deepened the differences further. The situation reached a point where the Church resorted to inventing an astonishing and strange idea, one that neither Jesus nor his disciples nor Paul nor anyone in their time had ever imagined!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n This idea is the most dangerous secret that most Christians are unaware of regarding the doctrine of today's churches, that:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n “Jesus had two spirits: one divine and one human, two minds: one divine and one human, and two wills: one divine and one human!”<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n In this book, with Allah’s permission, we will discuss this concept in detail, exploring how it became the fundamental and official doctrine upon which the faith of all modern churches is based, despite its severe contradictions with the beliefs of Jesus, the early Church fathers, the Christian Bibles, and all human logic!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n We will go back to the time of Jesus (\ufdfa<\/span>) to highlight the doctrine he explicitly declared, which his disciples believed in, and which all his true followers adhered to. This doctrine is clearly mentioned in the Christian Bibles.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Furthermore, we will examine the intense theological conflict between Jesus’ disciples and Paul the Apostle, and how the Christian world later split into two schools: the school of Jesus and his disciples <\/span>and the school of Paul and his followers<\/span>. We will analyze how today’s Christian world follows Paul’s school rather than that of Jesus, and how that school evolved over time, changing doctrines and teachings until it established a completely different religion from that of Jesus (\ufdfa<\/span>). This shift became especially pronounced when churches abandoned their original doctrine and the beliefs of the early Church Fathers, and, under political pressure from a pagan emperor, they adopted the creed of a young Egyptian man in his twenties who, at that time, was not even a priest!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n Ahmed Al-Amir<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n Chapter One<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
