But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is Gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with ...
  • The original bible in Aramaic is reportedly found with huge contradictions to the current Church authorized Bible
    If the dating turns out to be correct this is the copy that the Church should adopt although it is highly unlikely it would be accepted. This copy should be the accepted one since it would be the only known copy of the Bible which was in the actual language of Jesus (aramaic) but since it has so many contradictions it may undermine the Church's legitimacy so we expect that no matter what this Bible will be discredited. A secret Bible in which Jesus is believed ...
  • Is it Haram/Not Allowed to read, understand follow Islam by the Holy Qur'an in a language other than Arabic?
    This is the debate that I have been involved in numerous times over the years. I have asked many Imams about this issue and the response is normally the same. The last response I had was that "you get 10 times the reward" for reading it in Arabic without any supporting evidence from Qur'an or authentic hadith. Some people will not even accept any religious debate about Islam when it is done in English, yet the same people will lear...

  • Messages for People of the Book (Christians & Jews) from the Qur'an
    This is a message to Christians and Jews to believe in Islam and the Qur'an because the Qur'an verifies and affirms the truth of the Bible and the Torah.

  • Repentance/Forgiveness in Islam is conditional
