THE RITES OF AL ISLAM

FORWARD

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues at Al Azhar University for putting up with me during those grueling years of study in Cairo.  Special thanks to Mr. Gomma Mahdi, Sheik Mahmood from Shuhadda, Dr. Saeed from Boosna Masjid, the every inspiring Muhammad Asaad, Muhammad Luhadain, Leo Zagami, and the many adepts of wisdom that I have crossed paths with over the years. Stone sharpens stone, as the saying goes. My adventure into Islam started some 6 years ago when I bought my first copy of  AL- Quran from a local bookstore and started whole heartedly studying the intricacies of this religion and the sayings or (hadiths) of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS).  Growing up in a Christian family, I  was ritualistically implanted with the ideas of inherent sin at birth, salvation from belief in Jesus Christ, Communion, and the congregational favorite, Baptism.  I spent the years in my early twenties devouring hundreds of books on spiritualism, science, theology, etymology, Apocrypha, Freemasonry, and the list goes on and on.  My grandfather being a 33 degree freemason raised my eyebrows to the possibility of a deeper knowledge existing pertaining to the mind and spirit of man.  After gaining access to the inner circles and keepings of Freemasonry I turned my studies to medicine and wittingly went back to school to study pharmaceuticals.  What I found out during this period of time was appalling and disheartening to say the least.   I honorably walked away from this career choice after investing a whole year into the study of medicine and pharmacology.  What I found out was not with out good merit and fortune.  My own health was hanging in the balances and I used the information that I had come across during my homeopathic research (ORMUS, Trace Minerals, Polysaccharides, Aloe Vera, Macrobiotics)  to heal my lymphatic irregularities.   Then after the horrific incident of 911 I began to see a lot of information streaming through the media about Islam.  I can still remember seeing images of grown men with their children prostrating in prayer, and how perfect it looked as they bowed and prayed in unison.  How could it be that a religion apparently so beautiful and aesthetic could manifest such unconscientious acts of murder? It was an itch I had to scratch as I consumed the whole Quran 2 times in 2 weeks, and began intense research into the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ( Ahadith). I would find all the answers I was looking for, and much, much more.  This book is a inside look of what I have found throughout my past 6 years since converting to Islam.  Topics range from the nature of GOD, Purpose, Self Knowledge, Medicine, the true nature of Magic, Psychology, and some of mysteries such as REX MUNDI (The Green Man) Wisdom of Aesop, Unknown facts about the Anti Christ, and Judgment day, The nature of the Beast, Gog and Magoog, and the Wisdom of the Great King Solomon.  This book solves the problem of the Christian Trinity, and the nature of Jesus Christ himself.   I was recently talking to my mother, who is still a Christian, and she told me about how she had gone to so many counseling sessions with so many Psychologist to help resolve so many of the family problems and character issues of my step father, and my half brothers and sisters.  I told my mother that in the Arab world, for the Muslims, there doesn't exist  such an idea of going to see a psychologist to help remedy the problems.  These problems are all addressed through the hadith of the prophet Muhammad ( SAWS).  If your a person that wishes to take a chance and read a book that might really challenge your belief system, and are open to bettering your life, then this book is for you. I present to you at this time, THE RITE OF ISLAM.

 QURAN   Chapter 41 verse 53:

Soon we shall show them our signs,

in the horizons and inside their own self (souls),

until it becomes clear to them that He is the Truth  (GOD).

  Chapter One- TAWHEED ONENESS OF THE G.A.O.T.U (Great Architect of the Universe)

  The first and most important concept in ISLAM is what we call the TAWHEED.

This can be translated to co notate the ONENESS of GOD.  This is fundamentally the

most important component of the ISLAMIC faith.  The idea of one universal creator is

no new philosophic postulation.  The reason that this concept is so important and stands as the backbone for monotheistic religions is evident.  It simply cuts through the fat of the vast superstitious ideas and imaginations of purported gurus, and masters that lay claim to the possession of power through omens, objects and things that has been created.  One thing that is for sure is that no man has the power to create something from nothing.  Granted, we can take DNA splice it up, alter living things, and manipulate things within certain scientific parameters.  Though there are claims that we have broken the codes to the human genome, and now possess the keys to immortality, we have yet to see any workable methods to extent our lifespan indefinitely.  The science community

may stand on the precipice of something big in the near future, but we would all agree

that mans life is limited, and that there must be a purpose in the grand scheme of things.

Before we start to get deep into the ideas of the nature of GOD and his endless attributes,

we must first come to grips with the great etymological problems that we are confronted with when we say the word, "GOD."  To address any problem we must first go to the source of the matter and peal away the labels in order to get to the core of the onion.  It might make us upset, and we may cry from the stinging layers and spores of truth that reach our eyesight, but it is a reoccurring issue that should be cleared up once and for all.  Any one that has tried to confront this GIANT of a question has probably read vast volumes of ancient history books, and turned to experts like Zachariah Sitchen and his Earth Chronicles series.  We now have many theories on just what took place during the dawn of mankind.  I will not try to recap the intricate translations and variations that I have come across during the years, but will rather lay out the cards in front of you, in hopes of exposing some of the aces. 

  In hopes of defusing some of the ignorant misconceptions that I have heard over the

years that Muslims don't worship the same GOD that the Christians, and Jews worship,

I will dedicate a few paragraphs to this subject to make sure that we are all working on the same playing field.  Muslims call GOD (ALLAH). There are also other variations such as (ILAH) or (IL).  As most people know  the Arabic and Hebrew languages work off of root letters in forming their words.  The vowels are not written in most cases, but are known by the reader.  Now in the Hebrew language we have (EL) or (ELOHIIM) etc.  The Messiah Jesus Christ used the Arabic variation since he spoke in the native Aramaic language, which is the father of the now Arabic language.   Coptic Egyptian  Christians in Cairo call GOD (ALLAH).  We can see clearly that (EL) in the Hebrew language and (IL) from the Aramaic language are the correct names of GOD according to the ancient scriptures in the simplest form.  Of course we have  YAWEH as the tetragamatron. This word correctly translated means, (  I am that I am, or I am that I want to be.)  This word has let many Christians into much confusion and should be studied closely so as not to misconstrue the meaning of this phrase.

  Now we have to answer the question- where does the word GOD come from? I have heard from some inner Masonic circles that it is a acronym for three words. Gomo Oz Dubaz (Beauty, Knowledge, and Power).

 This word was made up for the English language so that the universal idea of One GOD could be implemented easily into our language.

Etymology of the Word "God"

(Anglo-Saxon God; German Gott; akin to Persian khoda; Hindu khooda).

God can variously be defined as:

the proper name of the one Supreme and Infinite Personal Being, the Creator and Ruler of the universe, to whom man

owes obedience and worship;

the common or generic name of the several supposed beings to whom, in polytheistic religions, Divine attributes are

 ascribed and Divine worship rendered;

the name sometimes applied to an idol as the image or dwelling-place of a god.

The root-meaning of the name (from Gothic root gheu; Sanskrit hub or emu, "to invoke or to sacrifice to") is

either "the one invoked" or "the one sacrificed to." From different Indo-Germanic roots (div, "to shine"

or "give light"; thes in thessasthai "to implore") come the Indo-Iranian deva, Sanskrit dyaus

(gen. divas), Latin deus, Greek theos, Irish and Gaelic dia, all of which are generic names; also Greek Zeus

(gen. Dios, Latin Jupiter (jovpater), Old Teutonic Tiu or Tiw (surviving in Tuesday), Latin Janus, Diana, and

other proper names of pagan deities. The common name most widely used in Semitic occurs as 'el in Hebrew, 'ilu in

Babylonian, 'ilah in Arabic, etc.; and though scholars are not agreed on the point, the root-meaning most probably

 is "the strong or mighty one."

"god (g?d). Also 3-4 godd. [Com. Teut.: OE. god (masc. in sing.; pl. godu, godo neut., godas masc.) corresponds to

OFris., OS., Du. god masc., OHG. got, cot (MHG. got, mod.Ger. gott) masc., ON. goً, guًneut. and masc., pl. goً, guًneut.

 (later Icel. pl. guًir masc.; Sw., Da. gud), Goth. guق (masc. in sing.; pl. guقa, guda neut.). The Goth. and ON. words

always follow the neuter declension, though when used in the Christian sense they are syntactically masc. The OTeut. type

 is therefore *gu?om neut., the adoption of the masculine concord being presumably due to the Christian use of the word.

 The neuter sb., in its original heathen use, would answer rather to L. numen than to L. deus. Another approximate

equivalent of deus in OTeut. was *ansu-z (Goth. in latinized pl. form anses, ON. ?ss, OE. سs- in personal names, ésa genit.

 pl.); but this seems to have been applied only to the higher deities of the native pantheon, never to foreign gods; and

it never came into Christian use.

The ulterior etymology is disputed. Apart from the unlikely hypothesis of adoption from some foreign tongue, the OTeut.

*gubom implies as its pre-Teut. type either *ghudho-m or *ghutَ-m. The former does not appear to admit of explanation; but

 the latter would represent the neut. of the passive pple. of a root *gheu-. There are two Aryan roots of the required

form (both *glheu, with palatal aspirate): one meaning ‘to invoke’ (Skr. h?), the other ‘to pour, to offer sacrifice’

 (Skr. hu, Gr. ?????, OE. yéotan YETE v.). Hence *glhutَ-m has been variously interpreted as ‘what is invoked’

(cf. Skr. puru-h?ta ‘much-invoked’, an epithet of Indra) and as ‘what is worshipped by sacrifice’

(cf. Skr. hutل , which occurs in the sense ‘sacrificed to’ as well as in that of ‘offered in sacrifice’).

 Either of these conjectures is fairly plausible, as they both yield a sense practically coincident with the most

 obvious definition deducible from the actual use of the word, ‘an object of worship’.

Some scholars, accepting the derivation from the root *glheu- to pour, have supposed the etymological sense to be

 ‘molten image’ (= Gr. ?????), but the assumed development of meaning seems very unlikely.

  There is one more fine point to touch on before we proceed into the importance of the Tawheed and the Wisdom of this concept in the Islamic faith.  Those ancient beings from Samaria seemingly had vast knowledge and long life spans, according to the findings of the scholar Zachariah Sitchen.  These beings called  Anunnaki, or the Nephilam Giants (those that fell to the earth) were mentioned in the story of Genesis and also vast

clay   tablets that have been translated from the cuneiform language.   These beings were seen as supermen and told stories of genetic alterations to create slave men for the need of mining earth gold for their planet Niburu.   The two primary chieftain Annunaki were Enki and Enlil.  Many scholars have made them out to be Enlil (EL) and Enki (The One that genetically altered men in the Eden, and was known by the sign of the

winding serpent or the double helix.)  These stories are staggering to the intellect and could easily  lead one to believe that  Mankind was created by Enki, and was ruled by  Enlil (EL) and their ruler ANU.  As more and  more of the Anunnaki race from Sumer  inhabited the earth and cohabited with humans, they became

to be seen as GODS to the people and were worshipped by the common people at that time.  Now the question stands- was the EL from the Annunaki the same EL from the stories of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Solomon. The answer is simply NO HE IS  NOT.  The reason is logical, and also some proofs have been put forth. Firstly, the

Annunaki lived by laws and worshipped One Universal God.  Secondly, they were able to come to earth, and alter the matter that was there in front of them, such as the Apes and Primitive species.  They had great powers and were referred as the RENOWNED GREAT MEN OF OLD in the book of Genesis.  In the book of PSLAMS a  verse to DAVID and SOLOMON at that time reads, " I am the GOD of the GODS," and, "They  shall be judged

as mere men on the day of Judgment."  Some may ask, "why would GOD point out this verse to us since it is obvious that there could only be ONE ALMIGHTY CREATOR?"  The answer is that the people at that time were still paying tribute to the Annunaki and their lineage's, worshipping them as GOD.  From a normal mans perspective these beings could  do supernatural things.  They had flying machines, advancements in computer devices and weaponry, and the ability to outlive any homo sapiens in existence at that time.  Then how did the men of old live so long such as Methuselah and the early offspring of ADAM?  Genesis tells us that these Annunaki took wives amongst the offspring of early man and they had children that were half Annunaki such as the legend of Gilgamesh.  All the Prophets from Adam to Jesus Christ prophesied the idea of  one

GOD, and this was the central message that was to be conveyed to the people.  Allah has mentioned in the Qur’an  that He sent messengers and guides among all people. “Indeed, we sent in every community a messenger… “ (al-Nahl 16:36).

 “There was not any community except a Warner lived among them.” (Fatir 35:24). However, the Qur’an has not given us the names and stories of all the messengers and guides who were sent by Allah to various nations and groups. We have only 25 prophets and messengers who are mentioned in the Qur’an by name. About other prophets and messengers Allah said, “We have told you the story of some Messengers and of others We have not …” (al-Nisa’ 4;164)

We Muslims believe in Allah’s Prophets and Messengers who came before Prophet Muhammad - peace be upon all of them.  Prophet Muhammad was the Last Prophet and Messenger of Allah. After his coming there will be no new Prophet or Messenger.

 (We accept that Jesus - peace be upon him - will come again, but he will not be a new Prophet.) We mention by names only those Prophets and Messengers whose names are given to us in the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah. But those whose names are

 not mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah we do not say definitely that they were Allah’s Prophets or Messengers.  Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal in his Musnad has mentioned a Hadith (no. 21257) that Allah sent 124, 000 Prophets (Anbiya’) and from among them 315 were the Messengers (rusul).

CHAPTER TWO-  THE NATURE OF GOD

(INTRICICIES)

Try sparking up a conversation about GOD these days and you will get a endless litany of ideas and personal interpretations.  When I converse with most self professed Christians of any denomination I usually get the warm statement," GOD is love."  This being a wonderful quality of GOD does not in any way encapsulate a perfect picture of GOD.  Other Christians I have spoken to looked intoxicatingly into my eyes and proclaimed, "Jesus is GOD."  Christians and Muslims share many common beliefs but this idea is

where they vastly differ.  The Quran has gone to great lengths to clear up the misconception that Jesus Christ the Messiah was GOD incarnate.  The Quran is adamant on this subject and proclaims in verse 4:171 People of the Book, go not beyond the bounds in your religion, and say not as to God but the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was

 only the Messenger of God, and His Word that He committed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers, and say not, 'Three.' Refrain; better is it for you. God is only One God. Glory be to Him -- That He should have a son! To Him belongs all that is in the heavens  and in the earth; God suffices for a guardian. For Jews and Muslims this concept is fortified  by logic and the understanding of the very nature of GOD. In the Quran GOD gives us a  hundred attributes of himself in order that we might further our understanding of his nature.  In the Royal Arch degrees of freemasonry the candidate is to further his meditation and  try to come to terms with with nature of GOD.  We understand from an Islamic and Jewish perspective that GOD sits in his heavenly thrown, and the angels of GOD stand in rows and worship him day and night. Some of GODS attributes are: THE ALL SEERER, THE ALL KNOWER, THE ALL HEARER.  Thus Gods presence is everywhere at once, but GOD himself is not an abstract or non physical entity. He controls all things from his ISTAWA (Heavenly Throne).  Many Taoist, Buddhist, Hindu's, Sikhs etc. explain GOD as an invisible force that has no apparent nature. According to the religious scriptures of the Prophets this is a misnomer. We learn from the TORAH that GOD has created man in his own image.  From the Islamic Hadiths (sayings) of the Prophet Muhammad we learn that on the day of judgment GOD will reveal his shin bone, and this will be a sign for the Muslims to make prostrations.  Thus GOD has as physical makeup but can not be limited to any form.  In the TORAH he proclaims, I AM THAT I WANT TO BE, from where we get the word YAWEH, which is only the acronym from which people have adopted as an official name.  Now we can see why when Christians proclaim that Jesus is GOD Jews and Muslims reject this claim adamantly.  Since GOD was on his throne during the Kingship of  Jesus the Messiahs prophet hood on earth, one can not say that Jesus is GOD and make any logical sense.  We understand that Jesus was the Spirit from GOD, and his Word.  This is where Muslims draw then line concerning Jesus and the nature of GOD.  In John 5 verse 41 we read Jesus saying, " I do not accept glory from human beings. 42 But I know that you do not have the love of God in you." and in verse 44 we read, " How can you believe when you accept glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the one who alone is God?"

In John Chapter 7 verse 16-18 Jesus explains, " "My teaching is not mine but his who sent me. 17 Anyone who resolves to do the will of God will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own. 18 Those who speak on their own seek their own glory; but the one who seeks the glory  of him who sent him is true, and there is nothing false in him."   Jesus makes clear time and time again that the mystery is that he is the Spirit and Word of Truth from GOD, but those that don't understand the nature of GOD could easily fall victim to the idea that Jesus is THE ALMIGHTY GOD. We see that  while Jesus was talking to the woman in Samaria in John 4 verse 21-22 we read, "Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. In Chapter 14 verse 28 we read, "You heard me say to you, 'I am going away, and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.  To truly understand and interpret what was going on and who Jesus the Messiah really was, we must keep in mind that he bowed down and worshiped GOD in prayer.  From this act we can conclude that Jesus the Spirit of GOD and the Word of GOD still worshiped the ALL MIGHTY GOD IN HEAVEN.  The distinction being that Jesus Christ the Messiah has a soul.  Although his spirit was from GOD and his Word was from GOD he still held the status of man, and had a soul of his own.  Thus we can see that his true (SELF) was separate from GOD as seen through his acts of worship toward the ALMIGHTY  CREATOR.  In his statement to the Samarian woman that salvation was from the JEWS, we can understand the importance of the LAW OF GOD, and the understanding of his nature.  Jesus himself told the people that the one who broke the smallest commandment of the LAW would be the least in the order of things.  Jesus and the disciples practiced according  to Jewish law and customs praying three times a day and keeping to the commandments of Moses.  This idea that the law would vanish after Jesus' apparent death is false. James the brother of Jesus would get in many disputes over the idea of FAITH and WORKS.  Jesus was adamant about telling the Jews they should know him by his WORKS and in keeping with the commandments of MOSES.  In close examination the ideas and epistles of the apostle Paul are conflicting with the teachings and lifestyle of Jesus Christ the Messiah.  Paul was an outsider that somehow was thrown into the forefronts by the Nicean council, and their ideas on what was an acceptable religion to follow.  What happened to the close disciples of Jesus and their writings?  We can look at some of the Apocryphal texts and many of the writings warn of a FALSE TEACHER that would abandon the Laws of GOD and the true teachings of his inner circle.  James and Paul fell into great disputes, and some scholars have gone as far as to lay blame on Paul for the eventual death of James the Just, the beloved disciple of Jesus, who carried with him the truest interpretations of the words of Jesus.  We learn in the Quran

miracles that coincide with some of the Apocryphal texts concerning Jesus as a baby.  We read in the Quran from Chapter 5 verse 110 , "When Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favor unto thee and unto thy mother; how I strengthened thee with the holy Spirit, so that thou spakest unto mankind in the cradle as in maturity; and how I taught thee the Scripture and Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and how thou didst shape of clay as it were the likeness of a bird by My permission, and didst blow upon it and it was a bird by My permission, and thou didst heal him who was born blind and the leper by My permission; and how thou didst raise the dead by My permission; and how I restrained the Children of Israel from (harming) thee when thou camest unto them with clear proofs, and those of them who disbelieved exclaimed: This is naught else than mere magic." In the Gospel of John 16 verse 12-14 we are told that," "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you."  I have made all the pronouns in these sentences bold to drive home the point that Jesus was referring to a human being, not his own spirit.  In the Quran Chapter 61 verse 6 we read, "And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh after me, whose name is AHMED (Muhammad). Yet when he hath come unto them with clear proofs, they say: This is mere magic."

Let us examine closely another verse from the Bible while the priests were questioning John the Baptist.  In John Chapter 1 verse 19-25, "This is the testimony given by John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" 20 He confessed and did not deny it, but confessed, "I am not the Messiah." 21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No." 22 Then they said to him, "Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?" 23 He said, "I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness," Make straight the way of the Lord,'" as the prophet Isaiah said.

24 Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, "Why then are you baptizing if you are neither the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?" Who was the prophet the high priest were referring to? From the writings of the Torah we know that Jews were awaiting the arrival of another Prophet that was prophesized in their scriptures. "The Lord said to me [Moses]: ‘What they say is good. I will raise up for them a Prophet like you among their brothers; I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My Name, I will Myself call him to account.’ (Deuteronomy, 18.17-9) Again from the Quran we read, " We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness over you, even as We sent to Pharaoh a Messenger. (al-Muzzammil, 73.15) and again

from John, "I will not speak with you much longer, for the Prince of this world is coming. And I posses nothing of him. (John, 14.30)

These verses stand as a opening point for Christian and Muslim dialogue and debate.  What we know for sure is that the nature of GOD from the Torah and Quran is unlike anything that he has created.  The freemasons have come to terms with this and have allocated the name for GOD as THE GREAT ARCHITECT from which they get the G on their compass that represents Geometry and Gnosis signaling their ability for architecture.  What we know for sure is that the leaders of these Masonic organizations that supposedly hold the keys of knowledge all acknowledge ONE GOD THE DIETY.  Jesus himself told us to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.  Thus one needs to eradicate

their own fears and judgmental ness to become wise as serpents, and look them in the eyes with fearlessness.  The reason the idea of one GOD is so quintessential to the Jewish and Muslim faiths is that worshipping idols or other things beside GOD is the greatest of sins that surpasses all other follies.  One hadith (saying) from the prophet Muhammad tells us, " Book 039, Number 6731:  Abu Musa reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There is none to show more patience at listening to the most irksome things than Allah, the Exalted and Glorious. ' Partnership is associated to Him (polytheism). and (fatherhood) of a child is attributed to Him, but in spite of this He protects them (people) and provides them sustenance. "We read in Chapter 4 verse 48 ,"Lo! Allah forgiveth not that a partner should be ascribed unto Him. He forgiveth (all) save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners to Allah, he hath indeed invented a tremendous sin."  We learn more about the nature of GOD from this verse in the Quran (Chapter 2 verse 255) "Allah! There is no Allah save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous." Thus with proper wisdom and discernment we can start our personal venture into the true nature of  GOD and hope through prayer and meditation to over turn unturned stones and peek into the treasure trove of maxims that will be presented in this book.  Concerning the nature of Jesus Christ, we read in the Quran (Chapter 3 v.49 And will make him a messenger unto the Children of Israel,

 (saying): Lo! I come unto you with a sign from your Lord. Lo! I fashion for you out of clay the likeness of a bird, and I breathe into it and it is a bird, by Allah's leave. I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I raise the dead, by Allah's leave. And I announce unto you what ye eat and what ye store up in your houses. Lo! herein verily is a portent for you, if ye are to be believers. and Chapter 3 v. 55 (And remember) when Allah said: O Jesus! Lo! I am gathering thee and causing thee to ascend unto Me, and am cleansing thee of those who disbelieve and am setting those who follow thee above those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then unto Me ye will (all) return, and I shall judge between you as to that wherein ye used to differ. Chapter 3. v 59  Lo! the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, then He said unto him: Be! and he is.  When the Prophet Muhammad used to preach in the masjid concerning the nature of Jesus some of the priest would gather and contend  that he was lying. A verse was revealed to the Prophet at that time ( Chapter 3 v. 61 "And whoso disputeth with thee concerning him, after the knowledge which hath come unto thee, say (unto him): Come! We will summon our sons and your sons, and our women and your women, and ourselves and yourselves, then we will pray humbly (to our Lord) and (solemnly) invoke the curse of Allah upon those who lie."  Concerning the supposed crucifixion we read, "And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain. C.4v.157. and "O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One God. Far is it removed

 from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender. C4.v171.and

"And We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in their footsteps, confirming that which was (revealed) before him in the Torah, and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light, confirming that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah - a guidance and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil). C5v.46. We now incur a warning against the ultimate transgression of idolatry, "They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Lo! whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah, for him Allah hath forbidden paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evil-doers there will be no helpers." We read in Chapter 5 verse 116, "And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right.

 If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden? " We also read of the confirmation Jesus Christ gave his disciples of the spirit of truth that was to come in Chapter 61 verse 6, "And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh after me, whose name is the Praised One. Yet when he hath come unto them with clear proofs, they say: This is mere magic." We will finish this chapter with a few verses from Chapter Mary  19 v.87-96 "None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from (Allah) Most Gracious. They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin, That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious.  For it is not consonant with the majesty

of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a ( literal) son. Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (Allah) Most Gracious as a servant.  He does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly. And everyone of them will come to Him singly on the Day of Judgment.  On those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, will (Allah) Most Gracious bestow love. [6:103]" No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things."
