Faith
Proofs of the Existence of God
Believe in God is the most important thing in faith. If someone does not
believe that God exists then he is in deep astray.
Does God exist? We have never seen God. We have never talked with God.
That is why the Atheists believe God does not exist. It is just a fantasy or a
made up thing!
The Story of a Scholar and an Atheist
There is one story of a Scholar and an Atheist. Long ago an Atheist did not
believe the existence of God. He asked a scholar for a debate about the
existence of God. Among the questions are: “Does God exist?” and “If God
exists then where is God?”
Then they decided when and where the debate takes place.
The Atheist and the villagers were waiting for the scholar, but the scholar did
not come right on time. When the Atheist and the villagers thought that the
scholar will not come for the debate, then the scholar showed up.
“I am sorry to keep you waiting for so long. But the rain is so heavy so the
river floods. The bridge drifted away so I could not cross it. Thank God

Faith
suddenly there was a big tree fell down. Then the branches cut out by
themselves so the trunk was branchless. After that the trunk was cut and a
hole was created so it became a boat. So I used the boat and crossed the
river,” said the scholar.
The Atheist and the villagers were laughing. The Atheist said to the villagers,
“This scholar is mad. How can a tree became a boat by itself with no one
made it? How can a boat exist with no maker who made it?”
The villagers were laughing out loud.
After the people calmed down, the scholar said, “If you believe that the boat
could not exist without its maker, then how could you believe the earth, sky,
and its contents exist without its creator? Which is the most difficult to make?
Making a boat or creating the earth, sky, and its contents?
Hearing that, they realized that they trapped with their own statement.
“Then answer my second question,” said the Atheist. “If God exists, why can’t
He be seen? Where is God?” The Atheist thought since he cannot see God
then God does not exist.
The scholar slapped the Atheist’s cheek hardly so the Atheist felt so much
pain.
“Why did you slap me? It’s very painful”
The scholar asked, “There is no pain. I cannot see pain. Where is pain?”
“The pain is here,” the Atheist pointed his cheek.
“No, I cannot see pain. Do you see the pain?” asked the scholar to the
villagers.

Faith
The villagers said, “No!”
“So, though we cannot see the pain does not mean that the pain does not
exist. So is the God. Just because we cannot see the God does not mean that
God does not exist. Though we cannot see Him, but we can see His
creations.” Said the scholar.
The argument of the scholar is very simple. Yet, the argument that God does
not exist just because human’s sense could not sense the existence of God is
very wrong.
How many things that could not be seen or heard by people but exist?
We cannot see the Wind but the Wind exists. We cannot see electricity (what
you can see is wire) but electricity exist.
How many things in the sky that billions light years away, even trillions light
years away that could not be seen by people yet the things exist?
How many molecular things even nucleus (hair divided in millions) that cannot
be seen by people yet exist? People could only see those things by using a
very powerful microscope.
How many waves (radio, electromagnetic, electricity, etc) that cannot be seen
yet exist?
Those things exist, yet the human sense is very limited so it cannot sense
their existence.
The human ability to see colors limited to certain frequencies. People only
could hear limited frequencies. Sometimes the light not only very dazzling but
also could make people blind. So is the sound. Certain sound could not be
heard by human sense while other sound which is very loud could destroy
human‘s hearing.

Faith
If to sense the creatures of God, sometimes people could not do it, even more
to sense the Creator: God!
The Universe, Who is its Creator?
It is hard to proof that God exists. But if we take a look to the planes, cars,
TVs, etc, it would be irrational if we say that all exist by themselves. There
must be people who make them!
If the simple thing such as the match has its makers, then the universe that far
more complex than that must be has its creator.
The Earth where 8 billion people live has circumference 40,000 km. The
circumference of the Sun is 4.3 million km. The Sun and its 8 planets along
with 100 billion stars are in the Milky Way galaxy whose length is 100,000
light years away.
Milky Way is only a galaxy among thousands galaxies that form a Cluster.
This cluster with thousands clusters form 1 Super Cluster. And thousands of
Super Clusters form the Universe whose length is 30 billion light years away!
Remember, the number 30 billion light years away only current estimation
since the strongest telescope today only could reach 15 billion light years
away.

Faith
Imagine if the distance

between Earth and the Sun is
150 million km and passed by
the light in just 8 minute, then
the whole Universe passed by
the light in 30 billion years.
That is equal to 285 billion
trillion km away. If a man
could run 40 km/hour without
stopping, he would pass the distance in 810,000 trillion years!
That is the greatness of Allah’s creation! If we believe in the magnificence of

Allah’s creation, then we should believe in the magnificence of Allah.
In the Quran Allah explains that He is the creator of Heaven, Star, Sun, Moon,
and others:
“Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars,

and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!” [Quran
25:6]
Is there a Controller of the Universe?
There are millions of people controlling the traffic on road, sea, and air.
Beacons are built. People also build traffic light and radar. Air Traffic Control
is built to prevent accident. All vehicles have drivers. Even on airplane there
are pilot and co-pilot to make the flight safer. On the ships there are Captain,
navigator, and engineers. Yet thousands of accidents happen every year on
land, sea, and air. Even though there are many controllers, the accidents still
happen.

Faith
On the contrary, the Earth, Sun, Moon, Stars, and others always revolve for
billions of years without single crash. Most scientists believe that the Earth,
Sun, and all of the other planets and moons in the solar system formed about
4.6 billion years ago. For billions of years until now the Earth never bump into
the Sun, and the Sun never collides with the Moon. There is no mark, police,
nor pilots to drive them. Without God, the Controller of the Universe, none of
these would happen. Everything is in order because there is God who controls
everything. Allah has put orbit for each of those things. If we really think about
it then we will know that God exist.
“He it is who appointed the sun a splendor and the moon stages, that ye
might know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created
not (all) that save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people who
have knowledge” [Quran 10:5]
“It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip
the day. They float each in an orbit” [Quran:40]
.
People who think a lot about universe insha Allah will believe that there is a
God!
“Allah it is who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then

mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of
service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course;
He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting
with your Lord.” [Quran 13:2]
“Such as remember Allah, standing, sitting, and reclining, and consider

the creation of the heavens and the earth, (and say): Our Lord! Thou
createdst not this in vain. Glory be to Thee! Preserve us from the doom
of Fire” [Quran 3:191]
Who is the Creator of People and Plants?

Faith
To those arrogant people who deny the existence of God, Allah questions
them about His creatures. Who is the creator of sperm and plant? People or
God the All Wise Creator?
“Have ye seen that which ye emit?

Do ye create it or are We the creator?” [Quran 56:58-59]
“Have ye seen that which ye cultivate?

Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer?” [Quran 56:63-64]
“Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower?”
[Quran 56:72]
Can Men Create a Fly?
In another verse, Allah challenges others to create a fly if they could do it.
Men may be could make robots from things that created by Allah. Yet, none
could make a fly from nothing nor thing that could reproduce except Allah:
“…Lo! Those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though
they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly took something
from them, they could not rescue it from him. So weak are (both) the
seeker and the sought!” [Quran 22:73]
There are many other Quran verses that describe the existence of God and
God is the All Wise Creator.
Who is the Real God?
There is only one God. Yet, many people worship different God. Some
worship the Sun as their God. Others worship the Father, the Son, etc. There
is also some people that worship Allah alone.

Faith
So, who is the true God according to Islam? What is His attributes? We know
little about God. Yet, in the Quran, God explains His characteristics as follow:
God, the All Wise Creator
According to Islam, God is the Creator of All:
“The Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decreeth a thing,
He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.” [Quran 2:117]
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.” [Quran 3:59]
“Say : Is there of your partners (whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that
produceth Creation and then reproduceth it? Say: Allah produceth
creation, then reproduceth it. How then, are ye misled!” [Quran 10:34]
God the Owner of Heaven, Earth, and Their Contents
God owns everything in Earth, Heaven, and in between:
They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of
Mary. Say : Who then can do aught against Allah, if He had willed to
destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on
earth? Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all
that is between them. He createth what He will. And Allah is Able to do
all things” [Quran 5:17]
God is the First and the Last
God already exists before anything exist. God also will keep exist when
everything is dead or destroyed.

Faith
”He is the First and the Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is
Knower of all things.” [Quran 57:3]
Therefore it would be inappropriate if God was born when other creatures

already exist and died when “His” creatures still exist. If there is a “God” like
that, then he is not God at all. But only a creature of the true God!
God is one, namely: Allah
There is only one God: Allah
“They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the third of three; when
there is no God save the One God. If they desist not from so saying a
painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve.” [Quran 5:73]
Allah has no Partner
“Say (O Muhammad): Who is Lord of the heaven and the earth?

Say: Allah! Say: Take ye then (others) beside Him for protectors, which,
even for themselves, have neither benefit nor hurt?
Say: Is the blind man equal to the seer, or is darkness equal to light? Or
assign they unto Allah partners Who created the like of His creation so
that the creation (which they made and His creation) seemed alike to
them? Say: Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the
Almighty.” [Quran 13:16]
“And say: Praise be to Allah, Who hath not taken unto Himself a son,
and Who hath no partner in the Sovereignty, nor hath He any protecting
friend through dependence. And magnify Him with all magnificence.”
[Quran 17:111]
Allah has no Child nor Partner

Faith
“Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any God along with Him;
else would each God have assuredly championed that which he created,
and some of them would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be
Allah above all that they allege.” [Quran 23:91]
“And nothing compares to Him.” [Quran 112:4]
Allah Knows All
Allah knows all even the invisible, a falling leaf, or a grain in the darkness.
And with Him are the keys of the invisible. None but He knoweth them.
And He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He
knoweth it, not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or
dry but (it is noted) in a clear record.” [Quran 6:59]
Allah the Most Powerful
Allah is the Almighty. Sometimes we are amaze of the greatness of some

people. Yet their power is not everlasting. The great people such as Genghis
Khan, Hitler, and Roosevelt were dead in the hand of Allah, the Creator, the
Most Powerful, and the executioner.
If He will, He can remove you, O people, and produce others in your

stead. Allah is Able to do that.” [Quran 4:133]
“Yet they choose beside Him other gods who create naught but are
themselves created, and possess not hurt nor profit for themselves, and
possess not the dead nor life, nor power to raise the dead.” [Quran 25:3]
In a hadeeth told that when all creatures such as human, genie, and angels
are put to death, Allah says “I am King of the Kings. Where are arrogant

Faith
people who used to claim themselves a God? Where are arrogant people who
used to claim themselves a King?” At that time, only Allah lives and the Most
Powerful.
Allah the Great Controller
Sometimes we see the bridges that were designed by experts and built by
hundreds of workers with strong pillars fall down instantly. Or the air traffic
that controlled by radar, air controller, pilot, and co-pilot, yet the accidents
happen every year.
But we never see the sky which is pillar-less fall down into the Earth. The Sun
never bump into the Moon or the Earth though they revolve for billions of
years.
That is the proof that the order happens because there is a Great Controller:
Allah!
“Allah it is who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then

mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of
service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course;
He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting
with your Lord.” [Quran 13:2]
Allah the Giver Gives All to Mankind
Who gives you your body, life, parent, friends, air to breath, water to drink, the
Earth, etc?
People who sick will know how expensive is the heart, kidney, eyes, etc.
Millions of dollar could be spend to by those things and the operation.

Faith
We have to buy drinking water. If we want to do the diving, we have to buy air
to breath expensively. Yet, Allah gives those things and many others to us for
free!
“Who hath appointed the earth a resting-place for you, and the sky a
canopy; and causeth water to pour down from the sky, thereby
producing fruits as food for you. And do not set up rivals to Allah when
ye know (better).” [Quran 2:22]
“Lo! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of
night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is
of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky,
thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of
beasts
therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient
between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's sovereignty) for people
who have sense.” [Quran 2:164
If you try to count what Allah gives you, you will not be able to do it.
”If ye would count the favor of Allah ye cannot reckon it. Lo! Allah is
indeed Forgiving, Merciful.” [Quran 16:18]
So, thank God, and worship Him.
Those are some characteristics of God in Islam. We hope we could

understand who is the real God better.

Faith
Islam Foundation: Tawheed: The Oneness of God
The prophet Muhammad PBUH sent by Allah with a Tawheed mission: to ask
people to worship Allah alone and there is no other God but Allah.
“Say: I am only a mortal like you. My Lord inspireth in me that your God
is only One God. And whoever hopeth for the meeting with his Lord, let
him do righteous work, and make none sharer of the worship due unto
his Lord.” [Quran 18:110]
Tawheed is the Essence of Prophets’ Teaching
All prophets such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad teach

Tawheed to their people, that is to worship only one God: Allah and not to join
Allah with others.
“Lo! Abraham was a nation obedient to Allah, by nature upright, and he

was not of the idolaters” [Quran 16:120]
“And afterward We inspired thee (Muhammad, saying): Follow the

religion of Abraham, as one by nature upright. He was not of the
idolaters.” [Quran 16:123]
Luqman the faithful in the Quran tell his children not to worship other god
beside Allah.
“And (remember) when Luqman said unto his son, when he was son!
Ascribe no partners unto Allah. Lo! to ascribe partners wrong” [Quran
31:13]
Every parent should follow the example of Luqman to put Tawheed in his
children.

Faith
Tawheed in 2 Syahadat Sentences
In Islam, testify about the oneness of God is the first of the five pillars of Islam.
To enter Islam, people should testify there is no God but Allah and
Muhammad is His messenger.
From Ibnu Umar ra, The Prophet PBUH said: Islam has five pillars:
Worshipping Allah only, prayer 5 times a day, giving zakat (donation),
fasting in the month of Ramadan and doing Hajj (Pilgrimage) [Bukhari-
Muslim]
Do not Join Allah with Others
Allah is the Creator of All.
“Lo! I have turned my face toward him Who created the heavens and the
earth, as one by nature upright, and I am not of the idolaters.” [Quran
6:79]
Praise be to Allah, Who hath created the heavens and the earth, and
hath appointed darkness and light. Yet those who disbelieve ascribe
rivals unto their Lord.” [Quran 6:1]
If someone worship other god beside Allah, for example: idols, that is in vain
since the idols is not God the Creator of All. In fact idols were made by
people.
“Attribute they as partners to Allah those who created naught, but are
themselves created” [Quran 7:191]
“Say: Serve ye in place of Allah that which possesseth for you neither
hurt nor use? Allah it is Who is the Hearer, the Knower.” [Quran 5:76]

Faith
Worshipping Jesus as a god is the greatest and unforgivable sin. God is the
Creator of the Universe whilst Jesus is not. Jesus is only a man that was born
from his mother’s womb, Mary.
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 evildoers there will
be no helpers.” [Quran 5:72]
Those who say that God has a son and born like a man so there is more than
1 God like the Father and the Son are nothing but Disbelievers.
How come Allah has a child while He has no wife? Are they thinking that God
committed adultery with Mary so has an extra marital child? Allah deny the lie:
The Originator of the heavens and the earth! How can He have a child,
when there is for Him no consort, when He created all things and is
Aware of all things?” [Quran 6:101]
In the Chapter Al Ikhlas stated:
”Say: He is Allah, the One!

Allah, the eternally Besought of all!
He begetteth not nor was begotten.
And there is none comparable unto Him.” [Quran 112:1-4]
Worshipping other God beside Allah is the greatest sin:
“Turning unto Allah (only), not ascribing partners unto Him; for whoso
ascribeth partners unto Allah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky and
the birds had snatched him or the wind had blown him to a far off
place.” [Quran 22:31]

Faith
”Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): Travel in the land, and see the
nature of the consequence for those who were before you! Most of them
were idolaters.” [Quran 30:42]
The Quran verses above is very clear. Shirik or worshipping many God
(Polytheism) is the greatest sin.
Shirik (Polytheism) is the Unforgivable Sin by God
Shirik or worshipping other beside Allah is the unforgivable sin. This is what
Allah said about Shirik in the Holy Quran:
“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.” [Quran 4:48]
”Lo! Allah pardoneth not that partners should be ascribed unto him. He
pardoneth all save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners unto
Allah hath wandered far astray.” [Quran 4:116]
The Polytheists’ Good Deeds are Useless
If someone worship other God beside Allah, then all their good deeds are
useless. You may wonder why. But Allah hates so much those people.
Imagine if your wife is a very jealous wife, and you take other women as your
wives. Though you are good to all of them, yet your wife will hate you and
maybe divorce you.
God is the Greatest and nothing compares to Him. But I hope the simple
illustration could make you understand this
“If they had set up (for worship) aught beside Him, (all) that they did
would have been vain.” [Quran 6:88]

Faith
“And verily it hath been revealed unto thee as unto those before thee
(saying): If thou ascribe a partner to Allah thy work will fail and thou
indeed wilt be among the losers” [Quran 39:65]
”It is not for the idolaters to tend Allah's sanctuaries, bearing witness
against themselves of disbelief. As for such, their works are vain and in
the Fire they will abide.” [Quran 9:17]
Tawheed, acknowledge there is no god but Allah is the first and the most
important thing that should be learnt by a Muslim. Our prophet, Muhammad
PBUH, for the first 13 years as a prophet spreading the Tawheed teaching to
the Quraish disbelievers in Mecca, and so is after that. All prophets such as
Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad teaching the Tawheed to
their people.
Without Tawheed, all of our good deeds will be in vain.

Faith
Islam and the Ten Commandments of God
Islam is one of 3 Abrahamic faith beside Judaism and Christianity. Many of

the teachings such as worshipping only one God (Monotheism) similar to
other religion such as Judaism and Christianity.
The teachings of pig as a forbidden food and circumcision as an obligation for

men also found in Judaism and Islam though the teachings are not applied in
Christianity.
If we take a look at Ten Commandments of God quoted in Exodus 10, the are
many commandments that not applied anymore in Christianity but reapplied in
Islam.
The Oneness of God
Exodus:
20:11 God spoke all these words

20:2 “I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you from the land of Egypt, from
the house of slavery.
20:3 “You shall have no other gods before me.
The words is very clear: we should have no other gods before God. In Islam,
to enter Islam we should testify: “There is no god but God (Allah)…”
In the Quran, Al Ikhlas stated:

Say: He is Allah, the One!
He begetteth not nor was begotten
And there is none comparable unto Him.

Faith
In Islam, God (Allah) the creator of the universe is worship alone. God has no
father nor son. And God also has no equal nor partner.
However in the Christianity, though they confess worship only one God, but
we also hear this one God consists of the Father, the Son, and Holyghost. We
hear about trinity: One is Three and Three is One.
In the New Testament, 1 Corinthians, stated that Jesus is the son of God:
1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into fellowship with his
son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 John 5:5 Now who is the person who has conquered the world except
the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
In Islam, as stated before, God has no father nor son.
“O People of the Book! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter

aught concerning Allah save the truth. 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, 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.” {Quran 4:171]
Do not make Statues:
Exodus:
20:4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of
anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is
in the water below.

Faith
20:5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I, the Lord, your God,
am a jealous God
The statement is very clear: do not make any statue especially if we bow
down to them. However, almost in every church we will see many statues of
Jesus or Mary. Many people bow and pray to the statues.
In Islam, the prohibition is respected. We found no statue or idol in Muslim

Mosques.
Adultery Restriction
Exodus 20:14 “You shall not commit adultery
In Islam, adultery (even just come close to it) is forbidden:
“And come not near unto ADULTERY. Lo! it is an abomination and an

evil way” [Al Israa’:32]
In Islam adultery sanction is very strict. The sanction in Islamic law is 100
lashes and expel for 1 year from their homeland for virgins. For those who
had married, the sanction is stoned to death.
“The adulterer and the adulteress, scourge ye each one of them (with) a
hundred stripes. And let not pity for the twain withhold you from
obedience to Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a
party of believers witness their punishment.” [An Nuur:2]
However in the Christianity this sin is very common. There is no sanction

against it. In fact free sex is regarded as a human right which don’t have to be
controlled by religion or state.

Faith
The Miracle of Al Qur’an and Modern Science
It is true that Al Qur’an is a miracle from God. How come? Many Al Qur’an
verses that were sent down in 7th century where science was not developed
yet (many people thought the earth is flat and the Sun revolves arount the
Earth) fit with the Modern Science.
For example look at the verses below:
Heaven and Earth used to be one
“Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth
were of one piece, then We parted them, and We made every living thing
of water? Will they not then believe?” [Al Anbiyaa:30]
At that time, no one know that Heaven and earth were one at the beginning.
But later in the 20th century the Modern Science such as Big Bang Theory
stated that Heaven and earth were one. Then separated like now.
Also it is true that every living form, including one cell plant contains water and
need water. The existence of water is a sign of the existence of living form in
a planet. Without water there is no life. This is the truth from Al Qur’an.
In Al Qur’an stated that the Sun and the Moon each move in certain orbit.
“And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the
moon. They fload, each in an orbit.” (Al Qur'an, 21:33)
In other verse stated that the Sun is not stand still. Yet it moves in a certain
orbit.
”And the Sun runs in its orbit. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the
Wise” (Al Qur'an, 36:38)

Faith
The Expanding Universe
In the Al Qur’an that sent down 14 centuries ago when the Astronomy was still
immature, the Expanding Universe described as follow:
"We have built the heaven with might, and We it is who make the vast
extent (thereof).” (Al Qur'an, 51:47)
According to Al Qur’an, the heaven extended/expanding. That is the

knowledge acquired today by Modern Science.
Since the Big Bang, the universe keep expanding with enormous speed. The
scientist describe the expanding universe similar to the surface of the blowing
balloon.
Until 20th century, the scientists believe the universe is still and exist without
beginning. Yet the observations, researches, and calculations by Modern
Technology found out that the Universe has beginning and keep expanding.
On early 20th century, Russian physicist, Alexander Friedmann, and Belgian

Cosmologist, George Lemaitre, theoretically count and found that the universe
keep moving and expanding.
This fact is proven with observation data on 1929. When observing the sky
with telescope, Edwin Hubble, an American Astronomer, found that the stars
and galaxies keep moving away from each other.
The Moving Mountains
"And thou seest the mountain thou deemest solid flying with the flight of
clouds; the doing of Allah Who perfecteth all things. Lo! He is Informed
of what ye do.” [QS 27:88]

Faith
14 centuries ago all people thought the mountain stand still. Not moving. Yet
Al Qur’an said the mountain is flying like clouds.
Today the Modern science found out that the mountain move with earth at the
speed around 1,670 km/hour for rotation and 107,000 km/hour for revolution
around the sun.
Another theory found out that the mountain move with continental crust. Alfred
Wegener (1880-1930), German meteorologist, made the theory of continental
drift that all the continents were once joined as one landmass, which he
named Pangaea. Then this super continent breaking up 200 million years
earlier into Laurasia and Gondwanaland. They’re keep moving until become
Eurasia, Africa, America, Australia, and Antarctica just like today.
On average, tectonic plates move around 4 to 7 cm per year.
On Muhammad’s era, the concept of wind as the pollinator to join the pollen
and ovary of the plants was not known at all. Yet, now become the common
knowledge.
"And We send the winds fertilizing, and cause water to descend from the
sky, and give it you to drink. It is not ye who are the holders of the store
thereof. " (Al Qur'an, 15:22)
The Prophecy of Romans Victory over Persian Empire
"The Romans have been defeated In the nearer land, and they, after their
defeat will be victorious Within ten years Allah's is the command in the
former case and in the latter and in that day believers will rejoice" (Al
Qur'an, 30:2-4)
The verses sent down around 620 AD. Almost 7 years after the great loss of
Christian Byzantium against Persian emporium. The Byzantines lost

Faith
Jerusalem city. Then the verses predicted that the Byzantines will win in the
near future although the Byzantines suffered a great loss that it was likely
impossible to survive.
The threats not only came from the Persians, but also from Avars, Slavians,
and Lombards. Many governors rebelled against Heraclius (The Byzantium
emperor) and the Kingdom almost collapse. Mesopotamia, Sicily, Syria,
Palestine, Egypt, and Armenia that once belong to Byzantium invaded by the
Persian (Warren Treadgold, A History of the Byzantine State and Society,
Stanford University Press, 1997, s. 287-299.)
As the God’s word in Al Qur’an, several years later the Romans beat the
Persians!
The Pharaoh’s Body Saved
"But this day We save thee in thy body that thou mayest be a portent for
those after thee. Lo! most of mankind are heedless of Our portents." [QS
10:92]
Dr. Maurice Bucaille used to be a researcher

on Pharaoh’s mummy in Egypt. On Ramses II
mummy he found something funny. The salt
concentration in mummy’s body is very high. He
found out the answer later in Al Qur’an. Ramses
II is the Pharaoh that drowned by God when he
chased Moses into Red Sea!
The Bible only mentioned that Ramses II was drowned. Only Al Qur’an that
said the Pharaoh’s body was saved by God so it could become the lesson for
all of us now!
Remember this, Muhammad lived 3,000 years after the event and there is no
information that the Ramses II’s body was saved since in the Bible there is no
such information. The Pharaoh’s tomb, Pyramid, for thousands of years

Faith
buried deep underground and sand. Just at 1817 AD, archeologist Giovanni
Battista Belzoni found the pyramid. But Al Qur’an could mention it because it
is the words of God. Not human made.
Every thing is Created in Pairs
Al Qur'an repeatedly mentioned pairs in plants, animals, human, and many

others.
"Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the
earth groweth, and of themselves, and of that which they know not!"
[Yaa Siin 36:36]
If we study thoroughly, then everything in this world is in pairs. Not only man
and woman, day and night, positive ion and negative ion, but many other
things!
British Scientist, Paul Dirac, a Nobel Prize winner in 1933, said that matter
created in pairs. His finding, called “Parité", said matter has anti-matter which
has opposite behaviour with matter. For example electron is a negative
particle, then its antiparticle is positron which is a positive particle.
This kind of facts will not be known scientifically by human in 7th century when
Al Qur’an was revealed! That is some of Miracles in Al Qur’an!

Comparison Study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

Religion
Abrahamic Faith consists of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. These religions

have something in common such as the belief of Adam is the first man
created and the ancestor of all human beings, Abraham as a prophet, and the
Torat as a revelation of God. Nevertheless there are also some significance
differences among them.
Judaism is a tribal religion that can only confessed by a Jew tribe. This
religion could not be spread to Non Jew. That is why the number of its
follower is only a few. Around 14 million people in the world. Meanwhile the
Christianity and Islam are spreading to all people in the world and confessed
by billions of people.
About God
Judaism and Islam regard there is only one God. The Jews call the God as
Yahweh which is third singular person means “He who is.” Muslims call God
as Allah which is singular form and genderless from ilah (God). In the Quran,
chapter Al Ikhlas stated the unity of God:
Say: He is Allah, the One!

He begetteth not nor was begotten.
And there is none comparable unto Him.
Actually in the Bible the Unity of God also stated in the Ten Commandments
of God in Exodus 20:
20:1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which
have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.3
Thou shalt have no other gods before me. [Exodus 20:1-3]
Comparison Study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam Religion

30
Faith
Though in Judaism and Islam the Monotheism of God is absolute including of

God’s essence, in Christianity there is a doctrine named Trinity that says God
exists as 3 persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who are united in one
substance or being. The trinity consists of 2 words: Three and Unity. Three is
One and One is three.
This concept is contradicted to Al Quran in Chapter Al Ikhlas that says God

has no Father or Son. The Bible says:
“The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore,
knoweth that I lie not.”[2 Corinthian 11:31]
“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
mercies, and the God of all comfort” [2 Corinthian 1:3]
The Bible verses above clearly said that God is the Father of Lord Jesus
Christ. On the other hand, in Islam strictly stated the Oneness of God, that
God is one, God has no Father or Son as follows:
“And say: Praise be to Allah, Who hath not taken unto Himself a son, and
Who hath no partner in the Sovereignty,nor hath He any protecting friend
through dependence. And magnify Him with all magnificence.” [Al Israa’:111]
Allah has no Son or Partner:
“Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any God along with Him; else
would each God have assuredly championed that which he created, and
some of them would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be Allah
above all that they allege.” [Al Mu’minuun:91]
About Jesus

31
Faith
The Jews not only deny Jesus as a God or a prophet, but they also tried to kill
Jesus as a pervert.
On the contrary, the Christians regard Jesus as a God:
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion
of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.” [2 Corinthian 13:14]
Islam regards Jesus not as a God, but only a human being that became a
messenger of God:
“And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say my mother for
two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified to which I had no right. If I used
to say it, then Thou my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. Lo! Thou,
only Things Hidden.” [Al Maa’idah:116]
According to Islam, Jesus only a prophet to call people to worship only one
God as God order in the Ten Commandments:
“I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, and your Lord. I
was a witness of them while I dwelt tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over
them. Thou art” [Al Maa’idah:117]
About Jesus Parent
As the Bible verses above, the Christianity regards Jesus as the Son of God:
“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God” [Mark 1:1]
“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord
God shall give unto him the throne of his father David” [Luke 1:32]

32
Faith
Nonetheless, on Matthew 1:16-18 said that Jesus’ father is Joseph though

Jesus was born from virgin Mary before Mary married to Joseph or having sex
with him:
“1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born
Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David
are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon
are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ
are fourteen generations. 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came
together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.” [Matthew 1:16-18]
Jesus’ family tree at last follows Joseph’s instead of Mary’s.
On another verse described Jesus as the son of David, the son of Abraham.
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of
Abraham.” [Matthew 1:1]
Jesus the Son of Man:
“For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.” [Matthew 12:8]
According to Islam Jesus is the Son of Mary. Not the Son of God or Joseph:
“The Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a messenger, whom had
passed away before him. And his mother was a used to eat (earthly) food.
See how we make the revelations they are turned away!” [Al Maa’idah:75]
The Power of God
In the Bible, Genesis 32:25-28 said that Jacob fought with God from night until
dawn. When God could not defeated Jacob, God touch the hollow of Jacob’s

33
Faith
thigh. God named Jacob as Israel because Jacob has fought God and men
and Jacob prevailed:
“32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the
breaking of the day.25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he
touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of
joint, as he wrestled with him.26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh.
And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.28 And he
said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast
thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” [Genesis 32:24-28]
In the Gospel Matthew told how Jesus the God caught, spit, and beaten by
men:
“27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and
gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.28 And they stripped him, and
put on him a scarlet robe.29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns,
they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the
knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and
put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.” [Matthew
27:27-31]
In Islam God is the Most Powerful. He cannot be beaten by any man even if
they are all join together against Him:
“If He will, He can be rid of you and bring (instead of you). That is not a hard
thing for Allah.” [Al Faathir: 16-17]
“Thy Lord is the Absolute, the Lord of Mercy. If He will, He can remove you
and can cause what He will to follow after you, even as He raised you from
the seed of other folk.” [Al An’aam:133]

34
Faith
From the verses of Holy Book above, can you tell us which the Most Powerful
God is?
The Independence of God
In Gospel Matthew said how Jesus complain and cry: “My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?”
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama
sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
[Matthew 27:46]
Do you think such statement will come out from the Most Powerful God?
In the Al Quran said that God is not a weak man that needs help:
“And say: Praise be to Allah, Who hath not taken unto Himself a son, and
Who hath no partner in the Sovereignty, nor hath He any protecting friend
through dependence. And magnify Him with all magnificence.” [Al Israa’:111]
Whom should we worship for? The weak and need help God or the Most
Powerful God?
The Knowledge of God
In Gospel Mark 11:12-13 said that Jesus felt hungry and did not know if the
Fig tree is fruitless because it is not its season.
11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was
hungry:

35
Faith
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find
any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for
the time of figs was not yet.” [Mark 11:12-13]
In Islam God is All Knowing:
“And with Him are the keys of the invisible. None but He knoweth them. And
He knoweth what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falleth but He knoweth
it. Not a grain amid the darkness of the earth, naught of wet or dry but it is
noted in a clear record“ [Al An’aam:59]
Is God Sleep?
In Matthew 8:24 said that Jesus was a sleep:

“And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship
was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.” [Matthew 8:24]
According to Islam, God never feel weak such as sleepy or sleep:
Allah! There is no God 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.” [Al Baqarah:255]
Prohibition of Statue
In the Ten Commandments stated in Exodus 20:4-5 God forbid man to make
any statue:

36
Faith
20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth.
20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD
thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me” [Exodus 20:4-5]
However the Christians now make many statues of Jesus and Mary and put
them on the churches.
In Islam making statues is forbidden. In Hadeeth Bukharee, Ummu Salamah

and Ummu Habibah said there is a beautiful church in Habsyi (Mary Church)
with some beautiful statues. Muhammad said “When their saint died, the
Christians will build church on the grave. Then they make many statues in the
church. They are the worst creatures before God in the day of judgement”
The Holy Book
Though the Jews Holy Book is quoted in Bible as the Old Testament, yet
there are some significant differences between them. The Jews Holy Book
mostly written in Hebrew and a few in Aramaic. On the other the Old
Testament in Christianity the oldest one written in Greek with 7 additional
books.
The New Testament consists of 27 books (including 4 gospels) and originally

written in Greek between 50-150 AD (Jesus died arount 29 AD).
The gospel consists of 4 different versions originally written in Greek namely:

Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. The Gospels written around 70-100 AD
about 40 years after the death of Jesus.
For example, Luke wrote Gospel for a man called Theophilus

37
Faith
1:1 For as much as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a
declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2 Even
as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses,
and ministers of the word; 3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect
understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most
excellent Theophilus, 4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things,
wherein thou hast been instructed.” [Luke 1:1-4]
Luke sometime only guesses such as Jesus about thirty years of age and use
the word “As was supposed”.
“And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was
supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli” [Luke 3:23]
Though Jesus language is Aramaic, but the New Testament original language
at least the oldest version is all in Greek.
If in Luke 3:23 Jesus’ grand father’s name is Heli, in Matthew 1:16 Jesus’
grand father is Jacob:
“And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus,
who is called Christ” [Matthew 1:16]
On the other hand, there is only one version of the Al Quran which is
memorized by millions of Muslims and still in its original language: Arab, the
language of Muhammad.
“Lo! We revealed it (Al Quran) on the Night of Power” [Al Qadr:1]
Al Quran revealed by Allah to Muhammad. And Muhammad passed it on his

followers. Some of the followers memorized Al Quran, some wrote it down on
several media (leaves, bones, leather, etc). Abu Bakar, Muhammad’s friend,
gather the Al Quran to be one. And Usman, another Muhammad’s friend, then

38
Faith
compiled the Quran into one book called Mushaf Usmani with punctuation
mark so the spelling complies with the Arabic language standard.
The Circumcision Obligation for Men
In Judaism and Islam, Circumcision is an obligation for men. It is complied

with Bible:
17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy
seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. 11 And ye
shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the
covenant betwixt me and you. 12 And he that is eight days old shall be
circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born
in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must
needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an
everlasting covenant.
14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not
circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my
covenant” [Genesis 17:10-14]
The uncircumcised man is regarded as unclean in Isaiah 52:1:
“Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O
Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the
uncircumcised and the unclean” [Isaiah 52:1]
However though God said in Genesis 17:13 that circumcision is an everlasting

covenant, the Christians no longer doing the obligation because Paul who
claimed become apostle after Jesus died (when Jesus alive Paul is Jesus
enemy) said that circumcision is no longer an obligation:

39
Faith
2:25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a
breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26 Therefore if
the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his
uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 27 And shall not uncircumcision
which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and
circumcision dost transgress the law?
2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision,
which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and
circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose
praise is not of men, but of God.
3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of
circumcision?” [Romans 2:25-29 – 3:1]
The Prohibition of Eating Swine
In Judaism and Islam, eating swine is strictly forbidden. It is complied with

Leviticus 11:7-8 and Deuteronomy 14:8:
11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he
cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat,
and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.” [Leviticus
11:7-8]
In the Al Quran the prohibition stated:
“He hath forbidden you only carrion, and blood, and swine flesh, and that
which hath been immolated to (the name of) any other than Allah. But he who
is driven by necessity, neither craving nor transgressing, it is no sin for him.
Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” [Al Baqarah:173]
Nevertheless Swine Flesh is a common food among the Christians now.
Original Sin

40
Faith
In the Christianity known the Original Sin Doctrine. All human race are sinners
because of Adam committed sin by eating forbidden fruit. That is why Jesus
sent down as the saviour to redeem the original sin.
In Exodus 20:5 God said that He will punish the children, the third and fourth
generation for the iniquity of their fathers:
“Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy
God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” [Exodus 20:5]
In Islam every one will only responsible for their own sin. No one can be
punished because of other people sin:
“Say: Shall I seek another than Allah for Lord, when He is Lord of all things?
Each soul earneth only on its own account, nor doth any laden bear another's
load. Then unto your Lord is your return and He will tell you that wherein ye
differed.” [Al An’aam:164]
Slander on Lot
In the Bible, Genesis 19:30-38 said that Lot had drink wine and committed
sexual intercourse with his own daughters (incest) and had children (or
grandchildren?) from them:
19:30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two
daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he
and his two daughters.
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a
man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:32 Come,
let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may
preserve seed of our father.

41
Faith
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in,
and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when
she arose.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the
younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine
this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of
our father.
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger
arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when
she arose.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the
father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the
same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.” [Genesis
19:30-38]
In Islam stated that Lot is really a prophet and clean from such a sin such as
drinking liquor or doing incest:
“And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn)” [Ash Shaafaat:133]
In the Quran stated that God has raised Lot’s degree over people. If common
people will not commit adultery with their own daughter, then a prophet such
as Lot will not such a thing:
“And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot. Each one of them did We prefer
above (Our) creatures” [Al An’aam:86]
Slander on David
In Bible, 2 Samuel 11:2-17 said that David (who in Matthew 1:1 described as
Jesus’ father) committed adultery with Uriah’s wife, Bathsheba. After that,

42
Faith
David ordered Joab to send Uriah to the front line of a battle and then
deserted him so Uriah get killed by the enemy:
11:2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed,
and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a
woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
3 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this
Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and
he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned
unto her house.” [2 Samuel 11:2-4]
In 2 Samuel 13:11-14 also stated that the son of David, Amnon raped his own
sister, Tamar:
13:11 And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her,
and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
12 And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such
thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
13 And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be
as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king;
for he will not withhold me from thee.
14 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than
she, forced her, and lay with her.” [2 Samuel 13:11-14]
In the Al Quran, the Slander over David is denied:
“Those of the children of Israel who went astray were cursed by the tongue of
David, and of Jesus, son of Mary. That was because they rebelled and used
to transgress.” [Al Maa-idah:78]
Prohibition of Adultery / Sex Story

43
Faith
In the story of Adultery or prohibition of Adultery, the Bible described it very

detailed:
23:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,2 Son of man, there
were two women, the daughters of one mother:3 And they committed
whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were
their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
4 And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and
they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names;
Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her
lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours, 6 Which were clothed with blue,
captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon
horses.
7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the
chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols
she defiled herself.
8 Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay
with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their
whoredom upon her. 9 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her
lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
0 These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters,
and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they
had executed judgment upon her.
11 And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her
inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her
whoredoms.
12 She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed
most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young
men.
13 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,
14 And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed
upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,15

Faith
Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads,
all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea,
the land of their nativity:16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she
doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her
with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was
alienated from them.
18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then
my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her
sister.
19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of
her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses,
and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising
thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.” [Ezekiel 23:1-21]
In Song of Solomon 7:1-8 the sexual desire described like this:
7:1 How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy
thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an
heap of wheat set about with lilies.
3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by
the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh
toward Damascus.
5 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple;
the king is held in the galleries.
6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
8 I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof:
now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose
like apples” [Song of Solomon 7:1-8]

Faith
In the Al Quran the prohibition of Adultery described in a gentle way so it do

not arouse sexual desire of its readers. The readers will not have desire to
have sex with his wife or close friend or masturbate after reading the holy
book:
“And come not near unto adultery. Lo! it is an abomination and an evil way. “
[Al Israa’:32]
Even the permission of having sex in the month of fasting described in a very
decent way:
“It is made lawful for you to go unto your wives on the night of the fast. They
are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them.” [Al Baqarah:187]
That is the Holy Book of Al Quran!
Retaliation Law
In the Old Testament, Exodus 21:11-22:19 stated the Retaliation Law, namely
death sentence for killer, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth:
“He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.” [Exodus
21:12]
“21:24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,25 Burning for
burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.” [Exodus 21:24-25]
But on the New Testament the Retaliation Law is eliminated and the
Christians no longer follow the rule.
In the Al Quran the Retaliation Law restored:

46
Faith
“O ye who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the

murdered; the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the
female for the female...” [Al Baqarah:178]
The Retaliation Law applied so people will think twice before they kill others. If
they kill other people then they will be sentenced to death so they could no
longer kill innocent people again in the future By this way the world will be
safer for innocent people (but not for the killers):
“And there is life for you in retaliation, O men of understanding, that ye may
ward off (evil).” [Al Baqarah:179]
Evil or Serpent who Cheated Adam and Eve?
In Genesis 3:1-19 said that Serpent is the most clever among animals and
could talk so it could cheat human: Adam and Eve:
3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the
LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye
shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of
the garden:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,
God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:5 For God
doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and
ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of
the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he
did eat.” [Genesis 3:1-6]
3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast
done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

47
Faith
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this,
thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy
belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life” [Genesis
3:13-14]
In the Quran said that the cheater of Adam and Eve is Satan. Not animal like
serpent:
“But Satan caused them to deflect therefrom and expelled them from the
(happy) state in which they were; and We said: Fall down, one of you a foe
unto the other! There shall be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a
tune.” [Al Baqarah:36]
If in the Christianity Adam and Eve remain as sinners and passed their sin to
their descendants as original sin, in Islam after they regretted and asked
God’s forgiveness, God forgive them. There is no original sin to pass to their
descendants.
“Then Adam received from his Lord words (of revelation), and He relented
toward him. Lo! He is the Relenting the Merciful.” [Al Baqarah:37]
The Jews regard themselves as the Chosen People while the Christians
believe there is no salvation for those who don’t believe Jesus as a God so
they send many evangelists/missionaries all over the world to make people
become Christians. Islam said only Islam the religion that God loves:
“Lo! religion with Allah is The Surrender to His will and guidance (Islam).
Those who (formerly) received the Scripture differed only after knowledge
came unto them, through transgression among themselves. Whoso
disbelieveth the revelations of Allah (will find that) Lo! Allah is swift at
reckoning.” [Ali ‘Imran:19]

48
Faith
“And whoso seeketh as religion other than the Surrender to Allah (Islam) it will
not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter.” [Ali
‘Imran:85]
Those are some differences in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Though there
are many more differences, yet Muslims are recommended to have a good
social relationship with them as long they are not hostile or insulting Muslims
or Islam.
Though there is no compulsion in religion, yet Islam forbids Muslims to mix

their religions with others. Your religion is for you and our religion is for us.
That is the Islamic teaching.
