Peace be to you. By invoking US Fair Use Policy, I would like to play the video clip on the
answer of Dr. Zakir Naik responding to the Question, How was Muhammad born as compared
to the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ? And I will comment about the criterion to determine
who was greater between Adam and Jesus Christ of the Quran.
Please go ahead.
"Good evening, Doctor. My name is Rose,
telephone operator. As a Christian I believe that Jesus was created by God (Who said?),
our God, our Creator and was born through Miracle.
One of my friends, he is a Muslim and he asked me,
he requested me to read the Holy Quran.
And I got interest of it. And I found out when I read it that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. And my question is:
How Muhammad, he was born? Is it through Miracle also?
Sister (Rose) asked a very good question.
She is a Christian. She is a telephone operator.
And she knows that Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, was created by God (?), Perfectly right.
He was born miraculously by the help of God. Perfectly right.
When she read the Quran, she came to know that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.
She asked me how Muhammad was born?
Sister, Muhammad was born Naturally. He had a mother and father. He was born naturally.
He was not born miraculously.
But if someone tries to say that because Jesus Christ peace be upon Him,
had no father therefore, He is Almighty God!
If this is the understanding, then Prophet Muhammad had a mother and father, Jesus Christ had
a mother but no Father (who said?), so if that makes Him a God, then the reply
given Sura Al-Imran Chapter 3:59 "The likeness of Isa, before Allah is like Adam..."
The similitude of Jesus in front of Allah is like Adam. He was created from dust
and said "Be" and it was. If you said that "Jesus is God" because He had
no Father (in Heaven) then Adam peace be upon him, is a greater God, he had no mother no father
Applause ... But did Jesus Not say "All (Words) Whatever that the Father Has, is MINE" in John 16:15???
Yes, Adam was a greater God in the Quran (2:34) because All Angels were commanded by Allah to
prostrate before him whereas there is no mention of All Angels were commanded
to prostrate before Jesus Christ.
Why the discrepancy on the treatment of Allah between Adam and Jesus Christ???
But Quran Al-Imran 3:59 was spoken by Muhammad since Nowhere Allah proves himself to be Alive
and speaking in the Quran to Muhammad DIRECTLY.
Nowhere in the Quran, Allah said to Muhammad DIRECTLY: "I am Allah or Worship ME!!!"
This alone proves that someone put words into the mouth
of Allah rather than He is speaking by Himself to Muhammad.
Unless a Muslim can prove to me that
Allah really speaks to Muhammad in the Quran, I shall state "Muhammad said", not "Allah said".
So Muhammad said: The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as
that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "BE". And he was. [Quran Al-Imran 3:59]
But the historical background of Al-Imran 3:59 is a "Conditional Statement" which is
subject to the Mubahala challenge as stated in Quran Al-Imran 3:61.
The Shia Tradition says that the event took place in the 10th year of Hijra which is 632 A.D.
According to Arab's tradition, the proposer of the Mubahala challenge or imprecation challenge
is to invoke Allah to curse the liar or liars so that the liars will be punished by God
with misfortune, sickness and even death. The waiting period for the Mubahala curse
to take effect is traditionally one year from the date of utterance.
Unfortunately, Muhammad reportedly died within 80 days after speaking Quran Al-Imran 3:59.
So how could Muslims took the words of Muhammad as the truth when he died within one year???
Where did Angel Gabriel said to Muhammad DIRECTLY: "Peace be to you Muhammad, I am Gabriel
sent by ALLAH???
Quran 20:14 is often quoted by Muslims to prove that Allah said "I am Allah."
But it was a narrative of an Arabic Story-teller who retold the story of Moses based on Quran 20:9,
"Has the Story of Moses reached thee?"
If that is, the criterion of Allah speaking to Moses (Hebrew), then where is the same criterion
of Allah speaking to Muhammad (Arab): "I am Allah?"
Based on Quran Saba 34:44-45, Al Qasas 28:46, As Sajdah 32:2-3 and Hud 11:49,
there was no prophet and no scripture sent to the forefathers of Muhammad prior to him,
to build the Kaaba in Mecca for worship of Allah. So the Kaaba was built for idolatry
and the word Allah was a pagan god before Angel Gabriel spoke to Muhammad.
But there is no evidence that Angel Gabriel met Muhammad since there is no salutation
from Gabriel to him. Both Prophet Moses and Lord Jesus Christ did not prostrate towards
the Qibla of the Kaaba used by Muhammad.
Muhammad turned his face to the Qibla dear to himself based on Quran Al-Baqarah 2:142-145
which Allah has not spoken since nowhere in the Quran, "Allah said" to Muhammad DIRECTLY:
"I am Allah your God." Yahweh said to Moses: "I am Yahweh your God" based on Leviticus 26:1.
Both the Hebrews and Christians have not prostrated towards the Qibla of Kaaba in Mecca.
Islam is merely promoting Kaaba-idolatry which both Prophet Moses and Lord Jesus Christ had
not defiled their souls with Qibla-idolatry. Beware of Islam. Jesus Christ is the Lord.
Islam is Qibla-idolatry.
Amen.
