ISLAM 101: Spirituality in Islam: Part 225

Ilm Ladun (The Special Knowledge from God’s Presence)

That is meant by ‘ilm ladun, or the special knowledge from God’s Presence, is knowledge of the Unseen or knowledge of mysteries, or knowledge which God imparts into one’s heart and the truths occurring to it. Primarily included is the knowledge of all the Prophets and Messengers, as well as the knowledge of saints, purified saintly scholars, virtuous and godly ones, and those especially favored with God’s nearness. It is the knowledge which God has imparted into their hearts by way of Revelation or inspiration, and therefore it is considered to be some sort of special knowledge from God’s Presence. Particularly the knowledge of God’s Messenger, the Sultan of ‘ilm ladun, upon him be peace and blessings, whether it relates to the Unseen “absolute” or the Unseen “restricted,” is included in this consideration of special knowledge from God’s Presence. Suleyman Chelebi expresses this in the following couplet:

That one who has come is the Sultan of ‘ilm ladun,

That one who has come is the source of the knowledge of Divine Oneness.

That “unique one” of time and space is the perfect treasurer of this knowledge of secrets, and the greatest of those who have drunk out of this pool of special knowledge. Neither the other Prophets, nor the Messengers, nor the saints were favored with special knowledge to the same degree as that of the Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings.

The knowledge which a saint claims to have received from God’s Presence specially may sometimes be incompatible with the decrees of Shari’a. For this reason, those who do not correct any such knowledge or spiritual discovery according to the basic rules or the fundamentals of the Religion may err and cause their followers to err. However, those others who have established their spiritual discoveries and inspirations on the ground of the basic rules of the Religion always see the physical and metaphysical dimension of existence together at the same time, observe this world and the others like the two faces of a single entity, and offer their students sweet “waters” of Divine gifts from the physical and metaphysical worlds.

In Surat al-Kahf, the holy Qur’an mentions a distinguished servant of God favored with special knowledge from God’s Presence, one who God’s Messenger said was called Khadr.[1] It says: And they found (there) one of Our servants to whom We had granted a mercy as a grace from Us and taught special knowledge from Our Presence (18:65). According to the Sufi scholars, the knowledge which God taught Khadr was special knowledge from His Presence. Despite being one of the five greatest Prophets and a perfect guide in Divine truths, the Prophet Moses, upon him be peace, desired to fully comprehend the special knowledge from God’s Presence by following Khadr to learn a particular aspect of it. Sahih al-Bukhari records a saying of our Prophet, upon him be peace and blessings, which points to the difference between the Prophetic knowledge of Divine truths and some aspects of special knowledge from God’s Presence: “Khadr said to Moses: ‘O Moses! I have some sort of knowledge from God, which you do not know, and you have some other sort of knowledge which I do not know.‘”[2]

The special knowledge discussed is a special favor from God to certain people; others—even though they may be more knowledgeable in different subjects—lag behind these people in respect to special knowledge from God’s Presence. It is true that in order to be favored with this knowledge, one should have the ability and merit to receive it and enjoy particular nearness to God; but it is primarily a special favor of God to His servants whom He has chosen. For this reason, it cannot be acquired through study, research, or other similar ways. That is God’s grace; He grants it to whom He wills. Surely God is of tremendous grace (62:4). So, this is a special manifestation of God’s grace.

It should be pointed out that although such knowledge is extremely attractive, enchanting, and desirable, and although it is related to certain Divine mysteries, the knowledge of the Religion and Divine truths with which the Prophets were favored is much more elevated than this knowledge; the knowledge of the Prophets is objective, applicable to everybody, and secures the worldly and otherworldly happiness of people. We can explain the difference between these two kinds of knowledge as follows:

Moses’s knowledge was the knowledge of the Shari’a, which was absolutely necessary for everybody regarding their happiness in both worlds and was therefore taught to order people’s worldly life and secure their happiness in the Hereafter, while Khadr’s knowledge was a special favor to know some aspects of the Unseen and certain Divine mysteries. Moses’ knowledge related to the rules and judgment by which public order and security could be realized, while Khadr’s consisted of some special gifts relating to the metaphysical dimension of life and existence. This second kind of knowledge has also been called “special knowledge that is purely from God’s Presence,” “the knowledge of truth,” and “the knowledge of the inner dimensions of existence.” It is a significant source by which one can realize the Divine mysteries. In this respect it is said:

O teacher of religious sciences,

Pay no attention to the knowledge of what people say;

Instead, search for the secrets of the Ultimate Truth

In the special knowledge from His Presence.

Although there is some sort of connection between this knowledge and personal efforts to obtain it, such knowledge cannot be obtained through mere study or efforts, for this knowledge occurs in pure hearts as a Divine gift in the form of a sacred power. It comes directly from God’s Presence through the ways of spiritual discovery and inspiration. However, as inspirations coming to the heart manifest themselves in the hearts to varying degrees, so those who cannot continue their spiritual journeying under the guardianship of the Master of creation, upon him be the perfect blessings and peace, may be the target of some suggestions of Satan.

Revelation (wahy) came to the Prophets and it is absolutely beyond all doubt. However, inspiration (ilham) occurs to saints and it is a broad channel for the manifestations of God’s Knowledge. If an inspiration manifests itself in the heart of a human being as a Divine gift beyond his or her willpower, this is called an “occurrence.” Satan may mix some things with an occurrence. An occurrence that is certain to have come from God without any interference from Satan can be regarded as special knowledge from God’s Presence. The firmest sign of an occurrence having originated in God’s Knowledge is its conformity with the Qur’an and the Sunna. It is highly possible that any occurrences which are not in conformity with these two primary foundations or basic sources of the Religion are whisperings or suggestions of Satan or of the human carnal soul. Since occurrences in which Satan and the human carnal soul have interfered bear Satanic and carnal elements, an initiate who has been driven to such an area of deception should immediately turn to God Almighty and regulate his or her state according to the basic rules of Shari’a.

The Sufi leaders call the meanings coming from God’s Presence and which echo in the heart “occurrences from the Ultimate Truth,” while those known to come from the angels are called “occurrences from the angels,” and the “sparks” which come from Satan and the carnal soul and invade the spirit are known as ” carnal or Satanic suggestions.” To differentiate between these occurrences one must depend on the criteria established by the fundamentals of the Religion and the elevated Sunna of the Prophet, upon him be peace and blessings. We should also point out that although these occurrences can be differentiated through the basic rules of the Shari’a, some others may come as a result of, or lead to, certain secret Satanic goals or ambitions even though they appear to be in conformity with the fundamentals of the Religion. For this reason, only those people who are well-versed in this field can establish the true differentiation.

Since the suggestions of the carnal soul and Satan are outside the sphere of “special knowledge from God’s Presence,” we will not go into details about them here.

O God! Show us the truth as the truth and enable us to observe it; show us falsehood as falsehood and enable us to avoid it. And bestow Your blessings and peace upon our master, Muhammad, and on his Family and Companions.

WHAT IS ISTIGHATHAH?

Seeking the help of ‘Ibaadullah (Men of God)

IS IT ALLOWED IN ISLAM?

Istighathah/Isti`ana

Al-Madad = "Help!"

This Madad was asked by Musa (’Alaih-is-Salam) from his countryman with the word istaghaatha “he asked for help” (28:15) and by Dhul-Qarnayan using the term "help me" in Surat al-Kahf (a`eenuni) (18:95) which is the same root as "we turn for help" (nasta`een) in Surah al-Fatihah.

Following are proofs from the Sunnah for calling out to an invisible helper in a situation of need:

1. Al-Bukhari narrates in his Sahih that our mother Hajar (RadiyAllah ‘anhaa), when she was running in search of water between Safaa and Marwah, heard a voice and called out: "O you whose voice you have made me hear! If there is a ghawth (help/helper) with you (then help me)!" and an angel appeared at the spot of the spring of Zamzam water.

2. Abu Ya`la, Ibn al-Sunni, and al-Tabarani in al-Mu`jam al-Kabir narrated that the Prophet (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) said: "If one of you loses something or seeks help or a helper (ghawth), and he is in a land where there is no one to befriend, let him say: "O servants of Allah, help me! (ya `ibad Allah, aghithuni), for verily Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) has servants whom one does not see." Al-Haythami said in Majma` al-Zawa'id (10:132): "The men in its chain of transmission have been declared reliable.”

Another wording:

3. Al-Bayhaqi narrates on the authority of Ibn `Abbas (RadiyAllahu ‘anhumaa) in "Kitab al-Aadaab" (p. 436) and with a second chain mawquf from Ibn `Abbas (RadiyAllahu ‘anhumaa) in "Shu`ab al-Iman" (1:445-446=1:183 #167; 6:128 #7697) and a third from Ibn Mas`ud (RadiyAllahu ‘anhu) in "Hayat al-Anbiya' ba`da Wafatihim" p. 44: "Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) has angels on the earth - other than the [two] record-keepers - who keep a record [even] of the leaves that fall on the ground.

Therefore, if one of you is crippled in a deserted land where no-one is in sight, let him cry out: a'înû 'ibâd Allâh Rahimakum Allâh, 'Help, O servants of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) , may Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) have mercy on you!' Verily he shall be helped, if God Almighty wills." Ibn Hajar said its chain is fair (isnaduhu hasan) in "al-amali".

Narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Kabir with a fair chain (according to Ibn Hajar in al-Amali) of sound narrators according to al-Haythami (10:132), al-Bazzar (#3128) - as cited by al-Shawkani in Tuhfa al-Dhakirin (p. 219=p. 155-156) -, and Ibn Abi Shayba (7:103).

4. Ibn Abi Shayba relates in his "Musannaf" (7:103) from Aban ibn Salih that the Prophet (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) said: "If one of you loses his animal or his camel in a deserted land where there is no-one in sight, let him say: "O servants of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) , help me! (yâ 'ibâd Allâh a'înûnî), for verily he will be helped."

Al-Zahawi said in al-Fajr al-Sadiq, a book he wrote in refutation of Wahhabism

It is not said that all that is meant by the "Servants of Allah" in the Hadiths cited above are only angels, or Muslims among the jinn, or men of the realm of the invisible: for all of these are living. Hence, the Hadith would not give evidence for asking aid from the dead, but this is not the case.

We mention this because there is nothing explicit in the hadith whereby what is meant by "Servants of Allah" are the categories we mentioned above and nothing else. Yet even if we were to concede this, the Hadith would still be a proof against the Wahhabis from another standpoint, and that is the calling on someone invisible. The Wahhabis no more allow it than the calling on the dead.

Al-Shawkani also allows the calling on someone invisible: "In the Hadith (of a`inu) there is evidence that it is permissible to ask help from those one does not see among the servants of God Almighty, whether angels or good jinn, and there is nothing wrong in doing it, just as it is permissible for someone to seek the help of human beings if his mount becomes unmanageable or runs loose." Tuhfat al-Dhakirin p. 155-156.

5. Ahmad relates in his Musnad (4:217) that at the time of the greatest fitnah of the Dajjal, when the Muslims will be at their weakest point, and just before `Isa ibn Maryam (‘Alaihim-us-Salam) descends at the time of Salat al-Fajr, people will hear a caller calling out three times: "O people, al-ghawth (the helper) has come to you!"

6. Ibn Kathir in his history, al-Bidaya wal- Nihaya [7:91, Year 18] narrates that `Umar (RadiyAllah ‘anhu) sought help and relief from drought and famine in Madinah by writing to `Amr ibn al-As and Abu Musa al-Ash`ari (RadiyAllahu ‘anhumaa) in Egypt and Basra respectively, each with the words, "Yaa ghawthaah li Ummati Muhammad! = Help! Help! for the Community of Muhammad (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam)!” If this is not istighaathah and isti`aanah then there is no istighaathah and isti`aanah.

Al-Zahawi said in al-Fajr al-Sadiq

Al-Subki, al-Qastallani in al-Mawahib al-laduniyya, al- Samhudi in Tarikh al-Madina, and al-Haythami in al-Jawhar al- munazzam said that seeking help with the Prophet (SallAllahu ‘alaihi waSallam) and other prophets and pious persons, is only a means of imploring Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) for the sake of their dignity and honor (bi jahihim). The one doing the asking seeks from the One asked that He assign him aid (ghawth) on behalf of the one higher than him. For the one being asked in reality is Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala).

The Prophet (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) is but the intermediary means (waasitah) between the one asking for help and the One asked in reality. Hence, the help is strictly from Him in its creation (khalqan) and being (ijadan), while the help from the Prophet (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) is strictly in respect to secondary causation (tasabbuban) and acquisition from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), (kasban)…..

Shaykh Khayr al-Din Ramli in his Fatawa Khayriyya (p. 180-181) was asked about "those who say: O Shaykh `Abd al-Qadir! O Shaykh Ahmad! O Rifa`i! [Give us] something for the sake of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), (shay’un lillah) O `Abd al-Qadir! and such, at which time they become greatly en tranced and experience states that make them jump up and down etc. He answered - Allah(Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) have mercy on him: 'Know first of all that among the famous rules that are firmly put to use in the books of the Imams is the rule that matters are judged according to their ends... as taken from the Hadith of the two Shaykhs al-Bukhari and Muslim: “Actions are only according to intentions”.... and none denies the reality of the Sufis except every ignorant, foolish soul.'"

And Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) knows best.

An open book of Quran showing the beginning of Surat al-Kahf (18:1-3)

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ الْكِتَابَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ عِوَجًا (1) قَيِّمًا لِيُنْذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيدًا مِنْ لَدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا حَسَنًا (2) مَاكِثِينَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا (3)

1. All praise is due to God, who has bestowed this divine writ from on high upon His servant, and has not allowed any deviousness to obscure its meaning. 2. [a divine writ] unerringly straight, meant to warn of a severe punishment from Him, and to give unto the believers who do good works the glad tiding that theirs shall be a goodly reward- 3. [a state of bliss] in which they shall dwell beyond the count of time.

The Ozone Layer at the Poles as the Sun Rises

New Post has been published on http://www.truth-seeker.info/quran-science-2/ozone-layer-poles-sun-rises/

The Ozone Layer at the Poles as the Sun Rises

By Truth Seeker Staff

This phenomenon is particularly encountered in the North Pole (Arctic) region, and there is a serious loss of ozone for a few hours immediately after sunrise.

“Until he reached the rising of the sun and found it rising on a people to whom We had not given any shelter from it.” (Al-Kahf 18: 90)

The Arabic word “sitran” in verse 90 of Surat al-Kahf means “cover, shelter, curtain or screen.” The term “lam naj`al lahum min duniha sitran” describes an environment devoid of any shelter or protection against the Sun. In the light of present-day knowledge, this is suggestive of the ozone layer that protects living things against harmful solar rays.

The area where the ozone layer around the Earth is thinnest, where it protects least against solar radiation, is the poles.1 Scientific research has established a severe thinning of the ozone layer at the North Pole at the moment the Sun rises2 and this scientific discovery has been described as Sunrise Ozone Destruction (SOD).3

As a matter of fact, during their research, American scientists determined a rapid decrease in ozone concentration at the moment of sunrise – when there was no sign of any before.4 This phenomenon is particularly encountered in the North Pole (Arctic) region, and there is a serious loss of ozone for a few hours immediately after sunrise.5

The Arabic word “matlia” in this verse, meaning the “rising place” of the Sun, may well be a reference to this scientific discovery about the ozone layer. (Allah knows the truth.) The fact that this information, obtained with 20th-century high technology, also appears in such a compatible form in the Qur’an, is yet more proof that the Qur’an is the revelation of our Lord, the One and Only Owner of science and technology.

ISLAM 101: Spirituality in Islam: Part 117

Ilm Ladun (The Special Knowledge from God’s Presence)

That is meant by ‘ilm ladun, or the special knowledge from God’s Presence, is knowledge of the Unseen or knowledge of mysteries, or knowledge which God imparts into one’s heart and the truths occurring to it. Primarily included is the knowledge of all the Prophets and Messengers, as well as the knowledge of saints, purified saintly scholars, virtuous and godly ones, and those especially favored with God’s nearness. It is the knowledge which God has imparted into their hearts by way of Revelation or inspiration, and therefore it is considered to be some sort of special knowledge from God’s Presence. Particularly the knowledge of God’s Messenger, the Sultan of ‘ilm ladun, upon him be peace and blessings, whether it relates to the Unseen “absolute” or the Unseen “restricted,” is included in this consideration of special knowledge from God’s Presence. Süleyman Çelebi expresses this in the following couplet:

That one who has come is the Sultan of ‘ilm ladun, That one who has come is the source of the knowledge of Divine Oneness. That “unique one” of time and space is the perfect treasurer of this knowledge of secrets, and the greatest of those who have drunk out of this pool of special knowledge. Neither the other Prophets, nor the Messengers, nor the saints were favored with special knowledge to the same degree as that of the Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings.

O teacher of religious sciences, Pay no attention to the knowledge of what people say; Instead, search for the secrets of the Ultimate Truth In the special knowledge from His Presence. Although there is some sort of connection between this knowledge and personal efforts to obtain it, such knowledge cannot be obtained through mere study or efforts, for this knowledge occurs in pure hearts as a Divine gift in the form of a sacred power. It comes directly from God’s Presence through the ways of spiritual discovery and inspiration. However, as inspirations coming to the heart manifest themselves in the hearts to varying degrees, so those who cannot continue their spiritual journeying under the guardianship of the Master of creation, upon him be the perfect blessings and peace, may be the target of some suggestions of Satan.

Since the suggestions of the carnal soul and Satan are outside the sphere of “special knowledge from God’s Presence,” we will not go into details about them here.

Al-Kahf

Setidaknya ada empat kisah dalam surat cintaNya yang ke-18.

1. Dua pemuda dengan kebunnya, dimana salah satunya mencoba meninggi, menolak ketetapan bahwa segelas air yg diberikan tidaklah dibawah kuasanya.

2. Kisah tentang pemuda-pemuda yg diselamatkan bertahun-tahun didalam gua dengan seekor anjingnya. Mereka dilindungi dan ditenangkan didalamnya, lalu diuji ketika telah terjaga oleh orang-orang yang memperdebatkan keadaan mereka. Mata uang menjadi alat bukti. Begitu unik cara dan logikaNya dalam membuktikan sesuatu.

3. Kisah ketiga adalah tentang perjalanan Nabi Musa dengan seorang salih. Mengjarkan bahwa ada hal-hal yg tidak pernah kita mengetahui asal musabab dan tujuannya, hingga kita berada diwaktu yg tepat untuk mengetahuinya. Tuhan ingin kita belajar sabar dan melihatNya bekerja dengan caraNya. Diceritakan ada beberapa kejadian yg tidak bisa diterima akal, lalu serta-merta dikutuknya perbuatan dan kejadian tersebut sebagai salah satu kemalangan dan perbuatan memyedihkan. Tidak demikian dengan rencanaNya.

4. Kisah nabi Dzulkarnain yg membantu melindungi kaum dari YaJuuj dan Ma'juj. Kelak apa yg dibangunnya akan hancur, dan hal tersebut merupakan akhir dari semua yg fana ini. Wallahualam bisshawab.

Menarik belajar menafsirkan kisah-kisah didalamnya. Banyak kiasan dan perumpamaan yg menggugah hati dan pikiran. Bahwasannya Dia lah maha dari segala maha. PadaNya semua kembali. Insya Allah.

Rindu duduk dikelas bahasa, membahas puisi atau karya sastra lain, termasuk karya sastra Tuhan. Membahs kitab suci ayat demi ayat. Memaknai setiap kata dan menarik hubungan dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Mencari pesan dibalik semua lantunan yg tersirat dalam pedomanNya. Membaca petunjukMu demi meniti jalan menuju ridha yang Esa.

An open book of Quran showing the beginning of Surat al-Kahf (18:1-3) الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ الْكِتَابَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ عِوَجًا (1) قَيِّمًا لِيُنْذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيدًا مِنْ لَدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا حَسَنًا (2) مَاكِثِينَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا (3) 1. All praise is due to God, who has bestowed this divine writ from on high upon His servant, and has not allowed any deviousness to obscure its meaning. 2. [a divine writ] unerringly straight, meant to warn of a severe punishment from Him, and to give unto the believers who do good works the glad tiding that theirs shall be a goodly reward- 3. [a state of bliss] in which they shall dwell beyond the count of time. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzSpMwfH9FH/?igshid=1vyvlocg9kgjz

La verdad sobre la vida de Jesús (2)

http://es.islamforchristians.com/la-verdad-sobre-la-vida-de-jesus-2/

La verdad sobre la vida de Jesús (2)

El Islam afirma enfáticamente que ni Jesús ni ningún otro ser humano podrían ser Dios.

2. Segunda parte del artículo titulado: La verdad sobre la vida de Jesús

Por: Faten Sabri

Dios ayudó a Jesús y lo libró del daño de sus enemigos

– «Veamos si es cierto lo que dice y comprobemos en qué va a parar su vida. Si el bueno es realmente hijo de Dios, Dios lo ayudará y lo librará de las manos de sus enemigos«. (Sabiduría de Salomón 2: 17-18)

– «Socórreme y líbrame en tu justicia; inclina tu oído y sálvame. Sé para mí una roca de refugio, adonde recurra yo continuamente. Tú has dado mandamiento para salvarme, Porque tú eres mi roca y mi fortaleza. Dios mío, líbrame de la mano del impío, de la mano del perverso y violento«. (Salmos 71: 2 – 4)

“Cuando dijo Allah: ¡Isa! Voy a llevarte y a elevarte hacia Mí y voy a poner tu pureza a salvo de los que no creen. Hasta el día del Levantamiento consideraré a los que te hayan seguido por encima de los que se hayan negado a creer, luego volveréis a Mí y juzgaré entre vosotros sobre aquello en lo que discrepabais”. (Corán, Surat Al Imran, 3:55)

– «Este pobre clamó, y le oyó Dios, Y lo libró de todas sus angustias. El ángel de Dios acampa alrededor de los que le temen, Y los defiende. Gustad, y ved que es bueno Dios; Dichoso el hombre que confía en él.» (Salmos 34: 6-8)

– «Y Cristo, en los días de su carne, ofreciendo ruegos y súplicas con gran clamor y lágrimas al que le podía librar de la muerte, fue oído a causa de su temor reverente.» (Hebreos 5: 7)

– «El guarda todos sus huesos; Ni uno de ellos será quebrantado.» (Salmos 34:20)

El Señor lo mantuvo vivo

– «Bienaventurado el que piensa en el pobre; En el día malo lo librará Dios. Dios lo guardará, y le dará vida; Será bienaventurado en la tierra, y no lo entregarás a la voluntad de sus enemigos.» (Salmos 41: 1-2)

«Sino que Allah lo elevó hacia Sí, Allah es Poderoso y Sabio.» (Corán, Surat An Nisaa, 4: 158,)

Jesús fue agradecido con su Señor

– «Jesús le dice: ‘¿No te he dicho que, si creyeres, verás la gloria de Dios?’ Entonces quitaron la piedra de donde el muerto había sido puesto. Y Jesús, alzando los ojos arriba, dijo: ‘Padre, gracias te doy que me has oído.’ » (Juan 11:40:41)

El traidor se arrepintió y sufrió las consecuencias de su pecado

Aunque muchos cristianos creen que las palabras mencionadas en el texto a continuación fueron dichas por Jesús, los musulmanes insisten en que este versículo bíblico no puede referirse a Jesucristo, pues él fue honrado por su Señor. Y quien merece esta mala situación, no puede ser otro que el traidor.

– «Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado? Lejos estás para salvarme, lejos de mis palabras de lamento. Dios mío, clamo de día y no me respondes; clamo de noche y no hallo reposo. Pero tú eres santo, tú eres rey, ¡tú eres la alabanza de Israel! En ti confiaron nuestros padres; confiaron, y tú los libraste; a ti clamaron, y tú los salvaste; se apoyaron en ti, y no los defraudaste. Pero yo, gusano soy y no hombre; la gente se burla de mí, el pueblo me desprecia. Cuantos me ven, se ríen de mí; lanzan insultos, meneando la cabeza: «Este confía en el Señor, ¡pues que el Señor lo ponga a salvo! Ya que en él se deleita, ¡que sea él quien lo libre!» Pero tú me sacaste del vientre materno; me hiciste reposar confiado en el regazo de mi madre. Fui puesto a tu cuidado desde antes de nacer; desde el vientre de mi madre mi Dios eres tú. No te alejes de mí, porque la angustia está cerca y no hay nadie que me ayude.» (Salmos 22: 1-11)

Fuera de Dios no hay salvador

– «[Porque Dios dijo:] ‘Yo, yo Dios, y fuera de mí no hay quien salve.’» (Isaías 43:11)

“¿Acaso no se Le debe a Allah la Adoración exclusiva? Los que han tomado protectores fuera de Él, (dicen): Sólo los adoramos para que nos den proximidad a Allah. Allah juzgará entre ellos sobre aquello en lo que tenían diferencias. Allah no guía a quien es mentiroso e ingrato”. (Corán, Surat Az-Zumar, 39: 3)

Fuera de Dios no hay otro dios

– «Yo soy Dios, y ninguno más hay; no hay Dios fuera de mí. Yo te ceñiré, aunque tú no me conociste, para que se sepa desde el nacimiento del sol, y hasta donde se pone, que no hay más que yo; yo Dios, y ninguno más que yo.» (Isaías 45: 5-6)

«Adoran fuera de Allah lo que ni les daña ni les beneficia y dicen: Estos son nuestros intercesores ante Allah. Di: ¿Vais a decirle a Allah algo que Él no sepa en los cielos y en la tierra? ¡Lejos está en Su gloria de lo que Le asocian!» (Corán, Surat Yunus, 10: 18)

Jesús confirmó su servidumbre a Dios

– «Oh Dios, ciertamente yo soy tu siervo, siervo tuyo soy, hijo de tu sierva; Tú has roto mis prisiones.» (Salmos 116: 16)

– «Jesús le dijo: No me toques, porque aún no he subido a mi Padre; mas ve a mis hermanos, y diles: Subo a mi Padre y a vuestro Padre, a mi Dios y a vuestro Dios.» (Juan 20:17)

– «[Jesús] dijo: ‘En verdad, soy un siervo de Dios. Él me ha entregado la revelación y ha hecho de mí un profeta.’» (Corán, Surat Mariam, 19: 30)

El creyente puede entender que, si Dios pudo crear a Adán del polvo, sin un padre y una madre, pudo crear fácilmente a Jesús sin un padre.

«Verdaderamente Isa, ante Allah, es como Adam. Lo creó de tierra y luego le dijo: ¡Sé! Y fue.» (Corán, Surat Al Imran, 3:59)

La ley de Moisés debe ser cumplida

«E hicimos que, tras ellos, siguiendo sus huellas, viniera Isa, hijo de Maryam, confirmando aquello que ya estaba en la Torá. Y le dimos el Inyil en el que había guía, luz y una confirmación de lo que ya estaba en la Torá, así como guía y amonestación para los temerosos.» (Corán, Surat An Ma’idah, 5:46)

– «[Así que Jesús] les dijo: ‘Estas son las palabras que os hablé, estando aún con vosotros: que era necesario que se cumpliese todo lo que está escrito de mí en la ley de Moisés, en los profetas y en los salmos.’» (Lucas 24:44)

«Decid: Creemos en Allah, en lo que se nos ha hecho descender, en lo que se hizo descender a Ibrahim, Ismail, Ishaq, Yaqub y a las Tribus, en lo que le fue dado a Musa e Isa y en lo que le fue dado a los profetas procedente de su Señor. No hacemos distinciones entre ninguno de ellos* y estamos sometidos a Él». *[En cuanto a creer en unos sí y en otros no.]». (Corán, Surat Al Baqarah, 2: 136)

Jesús condenará a su pueblo

– «[Porque Jesús dijo:] ‘Muchos me dirán en aquel día: Señor, Señor, ¿no profetizamos en tu nombre, y en tu nombre echamos fuera demonios, y en tu nombre hicimos muchos milagros? Y entonces les declararé: Nunca os conocí; apartaos de mí, hacedores del mal.’ » (Mateo 7:22 – 23)

– “Y cuando Allah dijo: ¡Isa, hijo de Maryam! ¿Has dicho tú a los hombres: Tomadme a mí y a mi madre como dioses aparte de Allah? Dijo: ¡Gloria a Ti! ¡No me pertenece decir aquello a lo que no tengo derecho! Si lo hubiera dicho, Tú ya lo sabrías. Tú sabes lo que hay en mí, pero yo no sé lo que hay en Ti. Es cierto que Tú eres el Conocedor de lo más recóndito”. (Corán, Surat Al Ma’idah, 5: 116-117)

El día en que ningún otro dios, excepto Allah, el Creador, pueda ayudar a la gente

– «Y dirá: ‘¿Dónde están sus dioses, la roca en que se refugiaban; que comían la grosura de sus sacrificios, Y bebían el vino de sus libaciones? Levántense, que os ayuden Y os defiendan. Ved ahora que yo, yo soy, Y no hay dioses conmigo; Yo hago morir, y yo hago vivir; Yo hiero, y yo sano; Y no hay quien pueda librar de mi mano.’» (Deuteronomio 32:37 39)

«Y el día en que diga: Llamad a Mis asociados, ésos que pretendíais. Los llamarán pero no les responderán y pondremos entre ellos una barrera. Y los que hayan hecho el mal verán el Fuego y sabrán que irán a caer en él, pero no encontrarán cómo escapar”. (Corán, Surat Al Kahf, 18: 52-53)

Adorar a un solo Dios fue el elemento principal del mensaje de Jesús

– «Jesús le respondió: ‘El primer mandamiento de todos es: Oye, Israel; el Señor nuestro Dios, el Señor uno es.’ » (Marcos 12:29)

– «Entonces Jesús le dijo: ‘Vete, Satanás, porque escrito está: Al Señor tu Dios adorarás, y a él sólo servirás.’» (Mateo 4:10)

– «Y esta es la vida eterna: que te conozcan a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a quien has enviado.» (Juan 17: 3)

“Y verdaderamente Allah es mi Señor y el vuestro, adoradlo pues. Este es un camino recto”. (Corán, Surat Mariam, 19:36)

El Profeta Muhammad le recordó al mundo el mensaje de Jesús.

«(Jesús dijo): Y verdaderamente Allah es mi Señor y el vuestro, adoradlo pues. Este es un camino recto”. (Corán, Surat Al Imran, 3:51)

«Di [Oh Profeta]: No soy mas que un ser humano como vosotros, me ha sido inspirado que vuestro dios es un Dios Único; así pues, el que espere el encuentro con su Señor que actúe con rectitud y que al adorar a su Señor no Le asocie a nadie.» (Corán, Surat Al Kahf, 18: 110)

En la historia de algunas religiones que precedieron al cristianismo, se encontró que algunos héroes fueron considerados dioses. Lo que se creía sobre Krishna por los hindúes, Buda por los antiguos egipcios, Baco por los griegos, Baal por los babilonios y Adonis por los sirios, lo creyeron también sorprendentemente los cristianos acerca de Jesús. La religión del Islam ha liberado a sus seguidores de tales supersticiones. Rechazó la doctrina de la encarnación y de la encarnación de Dios en la unión con cualquier otra criatura.

El Islam afirma enfáticamente que ni Jesús ni ningún otro ser humano podrían ser Dios. El Islam afirma que no se puede culpar a los humanos por los pecados que no cometieron, ni pueden obtener la salvación por no intentar ser buenos. La vida de uno es una prueba y cada alma es responsable de sus propias acciones, y las personas nacen libres de pecados; es solo después de alcanzar la edad de la pubertad o madurez que son responsables de sus malas acciones.

El Creador envió el mismo mensaje a los profetas de todas las naciones (desde la época de Adán). Un mensaje simple y directo y una condición para la salvación: ‘creer en un solo Dios y unificarlo en la adoración’. Cada Profeta era el camino para que sus seguidores en su tiempo obtuvieran la salvación, y eso se lograba siguiendo sus enseñanzas; adorar como lo hace el Profeta, no adorar al Profeta mismo, o a cualquier otra cosa. Este es el mensaje del Islam, que comenzó con el Profeta Adán y se completó con el Profeta Muhammad.
