A Lamp and a Light
Lord doth find its fulfillment in truth and in justice:
none can change His Words: for He is the one
Who heareth and knoweth all. God is interested
in giving us truth.
It has been stated that in The Gospel (Injeel):
therein was guidance and light and confirmation
of the Law. Sura 5:46 Al-Maeda.
Very obviously Allah wishes all Muslims to study
the Injeeel. In the Honored Quran these strong
words confirm that the Injeel and Taurat is a guide
to us today. They are a guide for those who
fear Allah. Sura 5:46. Friends, if you fear Allah
then you too will spend time in reading the Bible
Scriptures. For it is true that they give guidance
for mankind.
It is in the Bible Scriptures, as the Honored
Quran says, is the Criterion between what is
right and wrong. Sura 3:3-4 Aal-E-Imran. The
dictionary tells us that Criterion is the standard
or rule by which something is to be tested. Thus
we find that the Honored Quran tells us that the
Scriptures (Bible) is the standard by which all
is to be tested whether it is right or wrong. All
must be judged by this standard, for the Prophet
Isaiah (Taurat) said in chapter 8:20 To the law
and to the testimony: if they speak not according
to this word, it is because there is no light in
them. To the Law, this is referring to the Ten
Commandment Law, and to the testimony, the
testimony of Scripture, if anyones words do not
agree with what is written, then there is no light
in them. In the Injeel, Isa al-Masih reveals to us
how we ought to live. Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of
the mouth of God [Allah]. Matthew 4:4 Injeel.
Is it any wonder then, that the Honored Quran
gives so much counsel which refers us to the
Bible Scriptures?
In the Honored Quran, Sura 17:55 Al-Isra, it says
that some prophets were given gifts, and to Daud
(David) was given the gift of the Psalms (the Zabur).
In the Zabur it says of Allahs Word, Thy Word
is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
Psalms 119:105. Ever try to walk in the darkness of
night without a light? Did you find it impossible to
walk without fear of falling or stepping somewhere
The Taurat
where you would get injured or even worse fall off a
precipice?
Our world is in the darkness of night, if ever there
was a time when we needed a lamp for our feet, it is
and
today. So many people have gone far astray from
the right path, they have discarded the Lamp and
Light by which we may know the right way. Why
is there so much crime, lawlessness, moral decay
the Injeel
today? Why is society on the brink of ruin? Have
they not denied Allah, His Law, His Books and His
Messengers? Sura 4:136 An-Nisa. Thus everyone
is urged, whoever you may be, to read the Bible
Scriptures which in mercy have come down to us
from Heaven. It is surely the criterion for us. To
teach us what is right and what is forbidden.
Before opening its pages, always ask of Allah to
teach you the correct understanding when reading.
Allah blesses those who sincerely are learners and A guide to mankind!
seekers for righteousness. (Taurat) Jeremiah 29:13
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall Aal-E-Imran 3:3-4
search for me with all your heart. Those who seek
Allah, must seek with all the heart. May Allah bless
you abundantly. R.M. Harnisch

Bismila-Hir Rahma-Nir Rahim
Assalamualaikum!
The Honored Quran tells us why we need to read
the Taurat and the Injeel, (the Bible Scriptures). In
Aal-E-Imran 3:3 it tells us the following:
It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in
truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and
He sent down the Law (of Moses) [Taurat] and the
Gospel [Injeel] (of Jesus) before this, as a guide
to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of
judgment between right and wrong).
It makes it very plain that the Law and the Gospel
were given for all people as a guide to mankind.
That mankind includes all people, not just a select
few.
It teaches us in the Honored Quran that through Isa
al-Masih (Christ the Messiah) the Gospel (Injeel) was
sent. It was given as guidance and as admonition been corrupted? At other times they freely quote
to those who fear Allah.
And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of
Mary, confirming the Law[Taurat] that had come
before him: We sent him the Gospel[Injeel]: therein
was guidance and light, and confirmation of the
Law that had come before him: a guidance and
an admonition to those who fear Allah. Sura 5:46
Al-Maeda.
This admonition (Taurat and Injeel) is a warning,
or reproof of faults, it counsels us against wrong
practices. This admonition is for instruction and
direction while we are here on planet earth. Men
of sound wisdom, whose ear is willing to receive
Allahs instructions, will always heed admonition
from Heaven, as did Moses in the (Injeel) Hebrews
8:5. Allah has carefully guarded His Words as it
is recorded in Sura 5:48 Al-Maeda. To thee We
sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the Scripture
(Bible) that came before it, and guarding it How
comforting to
know that Allah protects His
Words and guards them, that we today may
have a sure guide as to what is right and wrong.
Taurat and Injeel corrupted?
We should not find it amazing that there are so many
positive things written about the Holy Books (Taurat
and Injeel) in the Honored Quran! Yet in spite of all
this, well meaning folks will tell you that these books
are corrupted! Imagine to say such things about the
Holy Books sent down from Allah? It is an insult to
Him! As if Allah is not able to keep His words intact
from evil minds! Yet these same sources that say
the Holy Books of the Taurat and the Injeel have
been altered or corrupted will at the same time freely
The Honored Quran tells us to believe in Allah and
quote from them to further their thinking! They even
memorize large portions of the Bible Scriptures and
then say they are corrupted and they will tell you that
these are not the Words of Allah! Friends if this is so,
why would you fill your mind with books which have
crystal clear counsel to believe not only in Allah but
from these supposedly corrupted books to prove their
point, but how can they be sure that what they are
quoting hasnt been corrupted?
Friends all of this should tell us that peoples minds
have been heavily influenced by Iblis (Satan). Allah
knows what He is doing! Let us trust Him and rest
upon the Words sent down from Him and take these
words for your own. Read again the words of Sura
5:46 that the Injeel (Gospel) was sent through Isa
al-Masih as guidance and admonition to those who
fear Allah. My dear reader, do you fear Allah? Then
these words are written for you!
Signposts
People today need direction. How often folks who
travel on the many highways look to the signposts
along the way to determine which way and how
far to their intended city. In this world, we all need
signposts
to tell them
which way to travel
safely so that we can reach
our Heavenly destination. The
Holy Books (Scriptures) are signposts
(guidance) which will help, to keep you from
going astray. For surely no one enjoys going in
the wrong direction, it is very frustrating to say the
least. But today far too many are traveling in life
and not even realizing that they are on the wrong
highway.
in His Messenger and the Scripture which He sent
to those before (him). Sura 4:136 An-Nisa. For
all who deny His Messengers His Books have
gone far, far astray. How few among the people of
Allah really believe what is here written here is
in the Scriptures which He sent. My dear friend is it
not time to search for a Bible and begin reading the
instructions sent down? Is it any wonder that most of
the world has indeed gone far, far astray.
People have rejected guidance and light, which was
sent down, and have chosen in its stead to remain in
the darkness of this world. Iblis (Satan) has indeed
blinded their eyes, but Allah in Mercy, is inviting us
to come to the glorious light of truth as found in the
Scriptures (Bible).
The Honored Quran says that Truth is from your
Lord Sura 18:29 Al-Kahf. The importance of truth
cannot be over emphasized. It is through truth that
Allah sanctifies His people. It is written in the Injeel,
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy
word is truth. Allahs Word is truth.
Most assuredly, Allah is wise enough and powerful
enough to guard and protect His Words. It reminds
us again in Sura 6:115 Al-Anaam. The Word of thy
