(which means they were written by Muslims), but there are still things I hear or read which I've not heard about yet, like this one about Abraham. In fact I read that in a forum lately, and I said maybe the Muslims here would tell me more about that.
You think they will wake up anytime soon? I doubt it.Yep, they did all of this to despise Ishmael.
Or they did it because they knew that Mohammad was foretold in their scriptures. Either way, they have their bases covered.LOL! One wonders, why is the enmity only in one direction? Why couldn't Mohammd did the same with the Qu'ran. Muslims can't seem to think that deeply about what they imply from their theories. Everything seems to favor them and their POVs.Well, we know what spirit rules their minds-at least for the ones that are heavily trenched in this madness. Their thoughts are purely religious with little or no regard to reality or rationality. It is Allah's cause at all costs while not considering that they are wrong. They lack a mechanism in their brains that triggers humility. Morality becomes that which they believe rather than that which can be understood outside of their mindset. They have no peripheral vision of who Allah is. Allah is as they make him, which the Qu'ran openly allows for unless Muslims can definitively prove that Mohammad was instructed by Allah to execute certain commands in a temporary and limited time frame. That is my 2¢.Quote on quote: Death to Jews, death to Israel, death to America, allahu akbar ...
Salam.I know not so much about it's details but according to the Hadiths one day when Abraham was practasing his pilgrimage in Mecca, Satan appeared to him and tried to tempt him but he did throw stones at him.Muslims imitate Ibrahim aleyhissalam during Hajj and throw stones at Jamrah of Aqaba the place where Shaitan appeared to Ibrahim.
Interesting. What 'Jewish' practice that were instituted by the Patriach and other early prophets could not have been in the Islamic tradition or have any resemblance to the prayer of One God... not three-in-one?
I can agree with your statement to a certain point as long as you don't try to make it fact, which would aid your argument for Islam. If there weren't already Christian history that makes this claim very difficult to have been done, given the time and location of Biblical events, perhaps your reasoning could be more acceptable. When reasoning, we must not forget what is known about what we debate. We can't just leave out the Biblical accounts and go straight to you possibility. We must take all things into consideration.
No, but that doesn't give you a license to invent things or to impose things on the text that are not there. Again, we can derive from the Bible certain improbabilities; so, the answer is NO. You are starting down a slippery slope if you want to use this reasoning. I can make a claim that Jesus prayed towards Mecca since it isn't in the Bible, but that would not be likely since there is no context in the Bible to make us believe that this was indeed true. Using your reasoning, we could make up make myths and tales of Jesus, which would distort what we do know about him.
Haran is in the region of ancient Mesopotamia and is north east of Israel. So, it would not make sense to travel southwest to Canaan and then go further south to Mecca. Abraham traveled from Ur (northeast of Haran) to Haran and then to Canaan, where God told him to settle. This became his home permanently. That is because Canaan included what became ancient Israel. Abraham went to Egypt, which is just adjacent to ancient Israel to avoid a drought. That is not that far in relation to Canaan. The Biblical geography doesn't allow for a trip to Mecca or Medina. You are comparing mileage but you are not considering geography. Canaan was part of the Babylonian empire, which is not near Mecca or Medina. There is no Jewish connection with this part of the world other than God's judgment. There are not roots of ancient Israel tied to Mecca or Medina. The areas of upper Egypt and Canaan are the two primary spots that we can see the movement of the Israelites in Biblical history.
That is an open ended phrase just like "God can do anything". It is very easy to abuse.
Yes I know.
Let' s think this way, Allah made it a core pillar of Islam because He first ordered it to Abraham?
Let me make a claim about you.. One thing I've found out with christians, they approach to Islam with a reversed logic many times..If you think correctly you will not be in need of asking many things about this religion.
