ArchivedJudging & Testing God??Peace Omega, I assume you are referring to Satan being the author of the Qur’an. Omega this is the weakest argument one can make. I’ll present you a couple of verse from the Qur’an itself which refutes your allegations. "O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of the Devil, for those who follow the footsteps of the Devil, he commands lewdness and evil." (24:21) "The devil promises you poverty and enjoins on you lewdness, but Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself and bounty." (2:268) "The angels fell down prostrate, everyone except Iblis (Satan) he was arrogant and became one of the disbelievers." (38:74-75) Finally we have the following Quranic image of Satan the Devil on the Day of Judgement: "And the Devil said when the matter has been decided: Lo! Allah promised you the promise of truth, and I promised you and failed you! And I had no power over you save that I called unto you and you obeyed me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves! I cannot help you, nor can you help me. Lo! I disbelieve in that which you before ascribed to me. Lo! For wrong doers is a painful doom." (14:22) Now moving to the subject of Gog and Magog: I give you the Muslim perspective on the people of Gog and Magog: Allah Almighty predicted that the Muslims will fight the People of Gog and Magog during the End of Times: "Until the Gog and Magog (people) Are let through (their barrier), And they swiftly swarm From every hill. Then will the True Promise Draw nigh (of fulfilment): Then behold! the eyes Of the Unbelievers will Fixedly stare in horror: 'Ah! Woe to us! we were indeed Heedless of this; nay; we Truly did wrong!' (The Noble Quran, 21:96-97)" Here we see Allah Almighty telling us that the evil people of Gog and Magog will attack the Believers from "every hill", meaning from every where on earth. "...The name (i.e., Gog and Magog) stands for wild and lawless tribes who will break their barriers and swarm through the earth. This will be one of the prognostications of the approaching Judgement." Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him taught us that one of the Sings of the Hour (the Day of Judgment) is when the army of Gog and Magog returns and fights the Muslims: Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: "The Prophet said 'The people will continue performing the Hajj and 'Umra to the Ka'ba even after the appearance of Gog and Magog.' Narrated Shu'ba extra: The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established till the Hajj (pilgrimage to the Mecca) is abandoned. (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Pilgrimage (Hajj), Volume 2, Book 26, Number 663)" Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: "The Last Hour would not come until you fight with a people wearing shoes of hair and the Last Hour would not come until you fight with a people having small eyes and broad snub noses. (Translation of Sahih Muslim, The Book Pertaining to the Turmoil and Portents of the Last Hour (Kitab Al-Fitan wa Ashrat As-Sa`ah), Book 041, Number 6958)" Now who are the Gog and Magog? It is not for me to say because I don’t have enough knowledge to make such a statement. However, there are Muslim websites that argue that they are the polytheists, the Zionist Jews, and the Trinitarian Christians. And Allah knows best! Well Omega you’re arguing from the Bible’s teachings and you are aware that I don’t believe in the Bible to be the revealed book of God. So naturally I don’t believe in Christians being the so called “God’s people”. We believe that no race, colour or gender are chosen by GOD Almighty in Islam. Everyone is evaluated by his Good Deeds. Allah Almighty Said in the Noble Quran: "O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other. Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted. (The Noble Quran, 49:13)" You see the Jews claiming that they are also God’s “chosen people” when in fact it was a lie that was fabricated and inserted into the Bible to make the People of Israel be the Superior over all nations. Such claims by any religion, is immediately rejected by Muslims. Omega, I feel content in the path that I took, and my God protect from ever becoming a disbeliever. Amen!! Peace and Blessings be to the Believers |
