#Christ is the spirit of Allah and Quran says that!!
_ With regard of what Allah Almighty says "And a spirit (created at a command) from Him." (4:171),let's see what is the explanation of that"And (mention,O Muhammad),when your lord said to the angels,"I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud"."And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of my (created) spirit,then fall down to him in prostration "(15:28,29)
Here ,Quran says that Allah created Adam and breathed into him from His spirit,so Quran does not favor Christ only with that .Did anyone of those who protest that Christ was breathed into him from the spirit of Allah read this verse? Or did they read this a miraculous verse which collects between the creation of Adam and Jesus peace be upon them and how the two prophets are alike in the creation ; "Indeed , the example of Jesus to Allah is like that Adam .He created Him from dust :then He said to him "Be" and he was."(3:59)
As we have learned from Islam, Allah has a clear evidence. So these texts from Gospel in which came a mention that Adam peace be upon him was created in His image,however the Christians don't recognize that Adam is God .Is the creation of jesus without father a miracle?Or Is the creation of Adam without father or mother stronger miracle?
Genesis 6:3 And the lord said,"My spirit will not contend with humans forever "
Genesis 1:26 The God said " let us make mankind in our image ,in our likeness"
Also it came in Ezekiel that lord speaks about the children of Israel ,reviving their dead bodies and made His spirit into them,so did they turn into gods as christ ?!!
Ezekiel 36:26" I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."
Ezekiel 36:27 "And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them."
Ezekiel 37:11-14
11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel.They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone;we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them;I will bring you back to the land of Israel.13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land.Then you will know that I the Lordhave spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”

#السؤال_السابع_والسبعون_لماذا_يصلي_المسلمون_خمس_مرات_يوميا؟
Why Muslims Pray 5 Times A Day?
According to Prophet Muhammad, the only thing that separates Muslims from non-believers is the prayers. It is the second pillar of Islam after the declaration of faith. Islam is based on five pillars and if one is missing then the whole building collapses. There is no other religion which instructs its followers to pray five times a day therefore Salah is the identity of Muslims.
Muslims are ordered to pray five times a day at specific times; before sunrise, midafternoon, late afternoon, sunset and at night. Both the Quran and the Hadith of the Prophet strongly emphasizes the vitality of the five daily prayers in Islam. Salah is a way of totally submitting to the wills of Allah and showing gratitude to him because as Muslims, we don’t bow before anyone but Allah the Almighty. Allah the Almighty said the closest my slave gets to me is during prostration. The essence of the five daily prayers in Islam cannot be underestimated.
How can someone who takes bath five times a day become dirty? The same applies to the five daily prayers; it cleanses and purifies the soul of a Muslim. Salah softens the heart of a Muslim and it naturally prevents you from committing sins because it teaches and disciplines you to be humble and also reminds you of the existence of a supreme being. There is nothing tedious about Salah because it can be done in five minutes or less. What is difficult about taking thirty minutes out of twenty four hours a day to talk to the supreme creator?
Salah should be consistent and unconditional. As Muslims we don’t pray sometimes, and anytime, we pray every single day at the right time. When we are happy we pray; when we are sad and inflicted with tragedy we pray. This is the only way to connect with the maker of the universe and everything in it.
One of the companions of the Messenger said “My friend Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) gave me the following advice. Even if you are chopped up and burnt, do not associate partners with Allah and do not miss your obligatory prayers deliberately. Allah will move His protection away from a person who misses his obligatory prayers deliberately.” Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, if you cannot pray while standing, then pray sitting down. If you cannot pray while sitting down then pray while lying down; if you cannot then pray with your eyes for it is better than not praying at all.
If the messenger of Allah, a man who was guaranteed paradise could pray an entire night until his feet got swollen then why should we not pray? Why are we too busy chasing the worldly benefits by neglecting our prayers, forgetting we have a grave to go to? What success are we looking for when the success and peace we are seeking in this world is in the five daily prayers? When a Muslim dies without going to hajj, your family can do that on your behalf; similarly they can give zakat on your behalf as well as complete the fasting for you if you die in the Ramadan. But for Salah, no one can do that for you.
There is beauty in Salah and it will take a beautiful Muslim to experience that beauty.

#السؤال_الثامن_والسبعون_ماهو_أصل_علامة_الهلال_في_الإسلام؟
The Origins of the Crescent, Cross, and Star of David:
💮The Cross
The chief symbol of Christianity today is the cross. Christians view it as a powerful symbol of redemption. It was St Paul who said he would glory in “naught save in the cross of our Lord” (Galatians 6:14).
Yet the cross had been a common religious symbol centuries before Christianity for several nations worldwide.
Pictures of the various forms of crosses held sacred by the ancients would be a hardly pleasing sight for people. Like many icons and symbols of Christianity, the cross was adapted from paganism.
It was in 707 C.E that the Council of Constantinople decreed that a cross with the figure of Jesus nailed to it should be held as a Christian icon.
Until then, a god who would be nailed to a cross to suffer and die was quite abhorrent to the Semitic religious consciousness.
Paul was being typically opportunist when he spoke of the “cross of Christ”, because he knew how it would conveniently appeal to the pagans.
The worship of the crucifix was a continuation of the pagan cross worship, as it was well-recognized as a religious symbol long before the dawn of Pauline Christianity.
The Cross Before Jesus
The ancient Egyptians had long before adopted this symbol in their worship of their pagan gods. Countless Egyptian drawings depict the gods holding crosses in their hands.
Among them was the Egyptian savior Horus, who is also pictured as an infant sitting on his mother’s knee with a cross on the seat they occupy.
The most common of the crosses used by these Egyptians, called “the Crux Ansata”, was eventually adopted by the Christians.
Osiris, the Egyptian savior and god of the dead and the underworld, is sometimes represented holding out this cross to mortals signifying that he has discarded mortality for the life to come.
The vestal virgins, devoted to the goddess Vesta of the Roman religion, who took an absolute vow of chastity punishable if broken by burial while alive, always wore a cross as a pendant round their necks just as nuns do today. (Christian Symbols, last accessed September 13, 2011)
💮The Star of David
The Star of David, or the hexagram (also known as “the Magen David”, which literally means “the Shield of David”), is now the most common and universally recognized symbol of Judaism.
But both within and outside of the Jewish community, it achieved this status only in the last two hundred years. Before that, it was chiefly associated with magic or painted on the badges of individual families or communities.
The Jewish religion, which prohibits images of God, has always been opposed to its representation by any symbols, and neither the Torah nor the Talmud recognizes any such emblem.
Besides, the Star of David is not mentioned in rabbinical literature. It probably did not originate within rabbinism, the official form of Judaism for more than two millennia.
Jewish books and ancient artifacts do not give credence to link the Star of David to King David himself; rather, all the available sources suggest that the early use of the hexagram was limited to “practical Kabbalah,” that is, Jewish magic, probably dating back to the 6th century C.E.
Legendarily, this symbol is linked to “the Seal of Solomon,” the magical signet ring used by King Solomon to control demons and spirits. Solomon’s Seal had a pentagram (i.e. a five-pointed star) engraved on it, which also was used as a talisman according to researchers, although the name does not indicate the Jewish or Semitic origin of the sign. (Solomon’s Seal, last accessed September 13, 2011)
When Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism, looked for a symbol for the new movement, he chose the Star of David because it was so well-known; and also because it had at the time no religious associations.
In the course of time, it found its way to the center of the flag of the Jewish state of Israel and has become indicative of Jewish national resurgence.

In the course of time, it found its way to the center of the flag of the Jewish state of Israel and has become indicative of Jewish national resurgence.
💮The Crescent and Star
The crescent and star sign has nothing to do with Islam
Although it is true that a fewMuslim countries—mostly non-Arab—have it on their flags.
It should be emphasized that the twin sources of Islam—the Quran and the Sunnah—do not mention such a symbol.
Since the Ottoman times, there has been the public perception that the star and crescent is a symbol of Islam and Muslims, and so it came to be used in decorative arts and Saracen architecture, jewelry, and so on.
As a matter of fact, Islamic scholars do not approve of the use of the crescent moon and star or any such figure as a “symbol” of Islam. This is because Islam has never adopted any symbol, and so there is no sense in Muslims adopting any such sign or emblem.
The real question is whether the Prophet allowed its use; and the answer is emphatically, no.
Remember that the first thing the Prophet did on re-entering Makkah after the Hijrah(the Prophet’s migration to Madinah), was to break all the idols in the Kaabah, including that of Hubal, who has been called a moon god. Indeed, we have no evidence to say that Hubal was a moon god either.
Islam, as taught by Prophet Muhammad, has been consistently and strongly opposed to the use of all sorts of idols, icons, and symbols that may lead the believers away from the worship of the One and Only God.
In fact, the crescent and star sign pre-dates Islam by thousands of years. Information on the origins of the symbol is difficult to ascertain.
The Crescent Before Islam
Most sources agree that these ancient celestial symbols were in use by the peoples of Central Asia and Siberia in their worship of sun, moon, and other celestial gods. There are also reports that the crescent moon and star were used to represent the Greek goddess, Diana.
The city of Byzantium (later known as Constantinople and Istanbul) adopted the crescent moon symbol. According to some reports, they chose it in honor of the goddess Diana.
Others indicate that it dates back to a battle in which the Romans defeated the Goths on the first day of a lunar month. In any event, the crescent moon was featured on the city’s flag even before the birth of Christ.
During the time of the Prophet Muhammad, Islamic armies and caravans flew simple solid-colored flags (generally black, green, or white) for identification purposes.
The flag of the Prophet was a black-and-white one inscribed with “Nasrun min Allah,” (meaning, “victory from God”).
It was not until the Ottoman Empire that the crescent moon and star became affiliated with the Muslim world. When the Turks conquered Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453, they adopted the city’s existing flag and symbol.
But the faith of Islam has historically adopted no symbol, and many refuse to accept what is essentially an ancient pagan icon.

#السؤال_التاسع_والسبعون_هل_الحب_موجود_في_الإسلام؟
Does Love Exist in Islam?
In Islam, one of God’s (Allah in Arabic) names or attributes is Al-Wadood, which means the “Most Loving”. It is derived from the root word “wadda”, literately meaning “loved”.
Allah mentions in the Quran:
{And He is Al-Ghafoor (Oft-Forgiving), Al-Wadood (the Most Loving; full of love)} (Al-Burooj 85:14)
Allah loves those who follow His religion, and He loves the believers in their different qualities as explained in His book:
{Say (O Muhammad to mankind): “If you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept Islam by following the Quran and the Prophetic tradition), Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”}(Aal-e-Imran 3:31)
There are several verses pertaining to qualities that Allah loves in a believing person:
{[…] Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).} (Aal-e-Imran 3:134)
{[…] Allah loves As-Sabirun (the patient).} (Aal-e-Imran 3:146)
{[…] Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).} (Aal-e-Imran 3:159)
{[…] Allah loves those who act justly.} (Al-Maeda 5:42)
We conclude from the verses above that Allah loves those who have the highest moral conduct. Also, the Prophet(peace be upon him-PBUH) mentioned Allah’s love in the following hadith:
If Allah loves a person, He calls [angel] Gabriel saying: ‘Allah loves so and so; O Gabriel, love him.’ Gabriel would love him, and then Gabriel would make an announcement among the residents of the Heaven, ‘Allah loves so-and-so, therefore, you should love him also.’ So, all the residents of the Heavens would love him and then he is granted the pleasure of the people of the earth. (Bukhari)
There are many types of love in Islam.
Loving Allah and His Prophet Muhammad
Believers should love Allah, their Creator, more than anyone or anything. Allah should be loved the most since this will guarantee Allah’s love as mentioned above.
The way we love Allah and His prophet (PBUH) is by obeying Allah’s commands the way shown to us by our prophet. The Prophet (PBUH) said:
Whoever possesses the following three qualities will have the sweetness (delight) of faith: 1. The one to whom Allah and His Apostle becomes dearer than anything else. 2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah’s sake. 3. Who hates to revert to Atheism (disbelief) as he hates to be thrown into the fire. (Bukhari)
Loving the Prophet’s Companions and the Believers
We should have a special love for our Prophet’s companions and the believing people; a kind of love that is not based on any worldly benefit, loving just for the sake of Allah.
A man asked the Prophet about the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment) saying, “When will the Hour be?” The Prophet said, “What have you prepared for it?” The man said, “Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Apostle.” The Prophet said, “You will be with those whom you love.” (Bukhari)
Anas then said: “We had never been as glad as we were on hearing that saying of the Prophet (i.e., “You will be with those whom you love.”) Therefore, I love the Prophet, Abu Bakr, and ‘Umar; and I hope that I will be with them because of my love for them though my deeds are not similar to theirs.”
Loving the believers will unite and strengthen the Muslim community; one easy way to increase this love is to give each other the greeting of Islam: “Peace be upon you”. Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub:
The Prophet (PBUH) commanded us to respond to the salutation of the imam, to love each other, and to salute each other. (Sunan Abudawood)
Loving Our Parents
Loving our parents and honoring them comes after worshipping Allah according to following verse:
{And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honor.} (Al-Isra 17:23)
Loving Our Spouses
Allah mentioned in His book that he puts love, affection, and mercy between husband and wife:

{[…] Allah loves those who act justly.} (Al-Maeda 5:42)
We conclude from the verses above that Allah loves those who have the highest moral conduct. Also, the Prophet(peace be upon him-PBUH) mentioned Allah’s love in the following hadith:
If Allah loves a person, He calls [angel] Gabriel saying: ‘Allah loves so and so; O Gabriel, love him.’ Gabriel would love him, and then Gabriel would make an announcement among the residents of the Heaven, ‘Allah loves so-and-so, therefore, you should love him also.’ So, all the residents of the Heavens would love him and then he is granted the pleasure of the people of the earth.

Loving Our Spouses
Allah mentioned in His book that he puts love, affection, and mercy between husband and wife:
{And among His Signs is this that
He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you love, affection, and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.} (Ar-Room 30:21)
“Mawadda” is the Arabic world used in this verse means cordiality, affection, and love which are all synonyms in the English language. So, love between husband and wife is very important in Islam.
Loving Everyone
In general, a Muslim should love all beings. Ali, the Prophet’s cousin (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
If people are not your brothers in faith then they are your brothers in humanity.
Also, Allah mentions in the following verse:
{Lo! You are the ones who love them but they love you not, and you believe in all the Scriptures [i.e. you believe in the Torah and the Gospel, while they disbelieve in your Book, the Quran…}(Aal-e-Imran 3:119)
There is also emphasis in Islam to love little children and those who are less privileged such as orphans and the needy. There are also many narrations where the Prophet (PBUH) shows his love to animals and even plants.
In conclusion, Islam is the true religion of love and compassion.

He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you love, affection, and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.} (Ar-Room 30:21)

#السؤال_الثمانون_للرد_علي_قصة_عيسي_يجلس_علي_يمين_العرش.
To respond to the story of jesus sits on the right hand of the throne of God
(Mark 16:19)
Mark 16:19 King James Version (KJV):
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
Mark 16:19 Revised Standard Version (RSV):
The Ascension of Jesus
19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Mark 16:19 New Living Translation (NLT):
19 When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
Analysis:
1. Mark, the writer of this story, should be present at the scene of this event BUT unfortunately, in his Mark 14:50, he reported that at that critical juncture of the alleged crucifixion, they ALL deserted Jesus and ran away. How come now he is giving us a story of what he is not an (EYEWITNESS)?
2. This God, called Jesus, talked with them!It means they saw him and talked to him as against what the one and ONLY true God told Moses in Exodus 33:20 that (NOBODY) could see Him and live.John 1:18 said NO man has seen God at ANY time.
3. After this God, called Jesus, finished talking to them, he was taken up into heaven!Who took this God to heaven?Can God be taken up, taken up by who?You may say by Angels!So Angels are more powerful than God!
4. So this God, called Jesus, sat at the right hand of God!!!How many Gods are there then?At least, there are two Gods. One sitting at the right hand of the other!
Where then was the Holy Spirit?Holy Spirit seemed to be missing in this drama.
5. If Jesus were truly God, then he was lying in Mark 12:29 and John 17:3 where he categorically said there is ONLY one true God who sent him.

#السؤال_الحادي_والثمانون_الله_يخبرنا_بطبيعته_وشكله_في_الإنجيل_ولا_يخبر_عن_شكله_في_القرآن.
God tells us about his nature and shape in Bible but He doesn't tell about his shape in Quran?
Who is Allah?
Both Bible and quran agreed that God is GOD always retains the quality of perfection and there is nothing whatever like unto Him.
"None like unto Him” (Al-Quran 112, Isaiah 46:9).
Quran doesn't say Allah is Spirit, the spirit is created by him.
No one has the right to describe Allaah except in the way in which He has described Himself or His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has described Him, because no one knows more about Allaah than Allaah, and no created being has more knowledge of his Creator than the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say, Do you know better or does Allaah?”
[al-Baqarah 2:140]
And the Bible also said spirit was created.
🔹️Psalm 104:30
- spirit are created ( clear cut verses).
Both Quran and Bible confirm it.

What is the Sin?
🔸️From the Christian point of view, sin is a state of being. It is not a matter of choice for us;it is human nature to sin.
They believe that we inherit the Original Sin committed by our Parents, Adam and Eve, in primordial time.
🔹️To Muslims, sin is the deliberate violation of a divine commandment, and humans are answerable for it because they choose to sin despite their ability to avoid it.
But as humans are gifted with choice and free will in this world, they may be seduced from their inherent nature of goodness and fall into sin.
In that case, Divine Guidance still helps them to remain true to their original status of intrinsic goodness.Their pure nature does not change.
Islam sees all prophets as infallible as regards intentional, active sin, not because they were divine, but because God created them with a super-human ability to resist sin.They made mistakes, they got angry, but they did not sin.
Prophets are indeed the best of creation.They are those whom God chooses to receive His revelations And they are sinless and they are best models.
