Dare To Challenge AL-Qur'aan?
Bismillaah ir Rahmaan ir Rahiim. As salaamu 'alaikum.
[5.48] And We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, verifying what is before it of the Book and a guardian over it, therefore judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their low desires (to turn away) from the truth that has come to you; for every one of you did We appoint a law and a way, and if Allah had pleased He would have made you (all) a single people, but that He might try you in what He gave you, therefore strive with one another to hasten to virtuous deeds; to Allah is your return, of all (of you), so He will let you know that in which you differed;
[5.49] And that you should judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their low desires, and be cautious of them, lest they seduce you from part of what Allah has revealed to you; but if they turn back, then know that Allah desires to afflict them on account of some of their faults; and most surely many of the people are transgressors.
[22.51] And (as for) those who strive to oppose Our communications, they shall be the inmates of the flaming fire.
[25.52] So do not follow the unbelievers, and strive against them a mighty striving with it.
"Block Of Stumbling"
There appears to be an accepted understanding that THE ONE GOD { ALLAAH, THE TRUE } has suddenly metamorphosed or has become transformed, into unlikely [unpromising] thirds, which is akin to "Trinitarianism." In this "transformation" of ALLAAH, THE ONE GOD, ALONE, "three gods" are now claimed, each one individually a God, and yet cojoined with ALLAAH, THE TRUE GOD, ALONE. This seems to be the gist of a new [well, fairly new] book, "The True Furqan" penned by a poet of beduin, extraction. Followers of "The True Furqan" book, claim it has [confronted], accepted and surpassed the challenge's in 2:23-24, 11:13, & 17:88 of AL-Qur'aan. But they seem to have missed the fact stated in 2:24, that "they shall never do it."
[2.23] And if you are in doubt as to that which We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a chapter like it and call on your witnesses besides Allah if you are truthful.
[2.24] But if you do (it) not and never shall you do (it), then be on your guard against the fire of which men and stones are the fuel; it is prepared for the unbelievers.
Written in seven days, "The True Furqan" needed seven year's to translate into the Arabic language. And this is its miracle, or so I (am given to) assume; because AL-Qur'aan, required 23 year's, in its transmission to The Prophet Muhammad [S.A.A.W.], and on this basis "The True Furqan" is asserted as being a greater book, than AL-Qur'aan.
Some "cults" and "religions" etc., refer to THE ONE GOD, as FATHER. We may be able grasp this as fairly reasonable, If, their thinking is; that THE ONE GOD, IS, THE FATHER of ALL LIFE. But it should be considered, that some people perceive a 'Father' in "THE LOGOS" and a union of Father, Son, Holy Spirit. These are "Spiritual Forces" and not necessarily [fleshly] "persons" [so to say]. It may be easier for some to see them as persons [people] although I do not agree with this, as the Spiritual Force, Power, perceived as "Father" in THE LOGOS, does not, "incarnate" [to take on, become, flesh]. Further more, the Holy Spirit, which is a feminine principle / aspect, is distinguishably Spiritual, and is [brought by] sent through, ar-Ruh-ul-'Amin: "The Faithful Spirit," the Arch Angel Gabriel [Jibril] A.S., [Alaihi-s-Salam; Peace be upon Him]. In Islamic tradition, Gabriel A.S., is referred to as Ruh-ul-Qudus: [The Personification, of] The Holy Spirit.
In nowise, am I saying that there is a trinity, triplicity, or triunity of Gods, in THE LOGOS, or anywhere else, as there is but ONE GOD, ALLAAH, All Glory Be To HIM. THE LOGOS, "emanated" from ALLAAH, THE ONLY GOD. Here, it is very important to acknowledge that ALLAAH, IS, ALL THAT THERE IS. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, ONLY ALLAAH; The Beneficent, The Gracious, The Glorious, The Subtle. ALLAAH, IS, The Independent, The Most High, ORIGINATOR, of "THE LOGOS," the First cause: Spirit, of Life and Light; the matrix / mold, of all things.
"The True Furqan", does disservice to humanity, by confusing the issue of Celestial Authority. The so-called trinity [for which ALLAAH, The Wise, has given no sanction] was resolved by The Holy Qur'aan, more than fourteen hundred years, past. To teach error, now that truth has come is blasphemy. "The True Furqan" teaches worship of three, or more, God's. The matter is [has] already [been] settled. Desist, say not three, ALLAAH, IS ONE GOD, ALMIGHTY, All Praise Is Due To HIM, Alone. And, as a concluding thought, claiming that "The True Furqan" is an "inspired," work leaves one to wonder, about who inspired it.
[22.78] And strive hard in (the way of) Allah, (such) a striving as is due to Him; He has chosen you and has not laid upon you any hardship in religion; the faith of your father Ibrahim; He named you Muslims before and in this, that the Apostle may be a bearer of witness to you, and you may be bearers of witness to the people; therefore keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and hold fast by Allah; He is your Guardian; how excellent the Guardian and how excellent the Helper!
