Islam for Christians ·

2023/03/23

The similitude of mine and that of the Apostles before me is that of a person who built a house quite imposing and beautiful and he made it complete but for one brick in one of its corners. People began to walk round it, and the building pleased them and they would say: But for this brick your building would have been perfect. Muhammad said: And I am that final brick.

Islam for Christians ·

2023/03/15

The Emigrants from Mecca turn from refugees to raiders, and this becomes the preamble to the Battle of Badr.

By the fig and the olive,By Mount Sinai,And by this land made safe;Surely We created man of the best statureThen we reduced him to the lowest of the low,Save those who believe and do good works, and theirs is a reward unfailing.So who henceforth will give the lie to thee about the judgment?Is not Allah the most conclusive of all judges?

The stories about the parents of Mart and John the Baptist: Zechariah and Imran -- and the wives of Zechariah and Imran... the wives did not get their names in the Quran. The stories should sound mostly familiar, except the Quran gives Zechariah a much larger role in the lives of both John the Baptist and Mary.

Read, ˹O Prophet,˺ in the Name of your Lord Who created—created humans from a clinging clot.Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,Who taught by the pen—taught humanity what they knew not.Most certainly, one exceeds all boundsonce they think they are self-sufficient.˹But˺ surely to your Lord is the return ˹of all˺.Have you seen the man who preventsa servant ˹of Ours˺ from praying?1What if this ˹servant˺ is ˹rightly˺ guided,or encourages righteousness?What if that ˹man˺ persists in denial and turns

Mysterious figures that may or may not be related to Ezekiel -- Dhu al-kifl, Dhu-al-Qarnayn and Yajuj and Majuj. The Quran mentions only one of the major prophets -- maybe -- but does offer a very different version of Gog and Magog. And, perhaps, a reference to Alexander the Great.
