Bible Matters 501: Allah Gospel of Love

Six hundred years after the prophet Jesus walked on this earth, God (i.e. Allah) sent the prophet Muhammed with Allah’s Gospel of Love.  The apostle Thomas had made his way to India and the prophet Paul had made his way into Europe. Apostles had not made their way into the middle East and Allah needed to spread his Gospel.  God knew that there would be trouble with the Christians from Europe four hundred years later.  In addition to God’s Gospel of Love spread to the Roman’s, the descendants of Japeth were enlarged and fell in love with the things of mammon (i.e. Money).  They were not living God’s Gospel of Love.  Professing themselves to the wise, they became fools.    

Genesis 9:26-27 – And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.  God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

Romans 1:22 – Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

God’s message warned his followers that God’s knows your heart and one can either follow God’s word or the love of money.  One cannot serve God and mammon.  The love of money is an abomination.

Luke 16:14-15 – And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Luke 16:13 – No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

The Christians were practicing anything but the love of neighbor.  Catholic Crusaders attacked the Muslims in the Middle East and Muhammed told his followers that they must be prepared to fight. 

The Cow 191 – And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-al-Haram (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

The Cow 192 – But if they cease, then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Allah’s Gospel of Love was identical to the Gospel of Love that Jesus brought to this earth.  Let’s review Muhammed’s testimony on Allah’s gospel of Love. 

• Believe in one true Allah – Allah is the beginning and the Creator.  You must believer in Allah.  When you believe in Allah, you believe in the scriptures.

Originator 1 – All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the (only) Originator [or the (only) Creator] of the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels messengers with wings, – two or three or four. He increases in creation what He wills. Verily, Allah is Able to do all things.

Originator 2 – Whatever of mercy (i.e. of good), Allah may grant to mankind, none can withhold it, and whatever He may withhold, none can grant it thereafter. And He is the All Mighty, the All Wise.

The Cow 117 – The Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it : “Be!” – and it is.

• Repent of your sins and surrender to Allah – Your walk begins when you turn from your sinful past and do the will of Allah.   

The Repentance 128 – Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from amongst yourselves (i.e. whom you know well). It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He (Muhammad SAW) is anxious over you (to be rightly guided, to repent to Allah, and beg Him to pardon and forgive your sins, in order that you may enter Paradise and be saved from the punishment of the Hell-fire), for the believers (he SAW is) full of pity, kind, and merciful.

The Repentance 129 – But if they turn away, say (O Muhammad SAW): “Allah is sufficient for me. La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), in Him I put my trust and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.

• Judge no one – All believers will be judged based on your pure walk against Allah’s word.  Do not judge nor assume righteousness by comparing your walk against another.  Allah will judge.

The Cow 62 – Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

The Cow 113 – The Jews said that the Christians follow nothing (i.e. are not on the right religion); and the Christians said that the Jews follow nothing (i.e. are not on the right religion); though they both recite the Scripture. Like unto their word, said (the pagans) who know not.  Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they have been differing.

• Love Allah – Worship only Allah, pray, do good and turn from sin.  When you live in sin, you will forget Allah.  Your walk will be your testimony.

The Cow 2 – This is the Book (the Quran), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun [the pious and righteous persons who fear Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)].

The Cow 116 – And they (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: Allah has begotten a son (children or offspring). Glory be to Him (Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth, and all surrender with obedience (in worship) to Him.

The Table Spread 90 – O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, Al-Ansab, and Al-Azlam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaitan’s (Satan) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful.

The Table Spread 91 – Shaitan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from As-Salat (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?

The Pilgrimage 2 – The Day you shall see it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling, and every pregnant one will drop her load, and you shall see mankind as in a drunken state, yet they will not be drunken, but severe will be the Torment of Allah.

The Bee 65 – And Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, then He revives the earth therewith after its death. Verily, in this is a sign (clear proof) for people who listen (obey Allah).

The Bee 66 – And verily! In the cattle, there is a lesson for you. We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from between excretions and blood, pure milk; palatable to the drinkers.

The Bee 69 – “Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you).” There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying color wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think.

The Cow 219 – They ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: “In them is a great sin, and (some) benefit for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit.” And they ask you what they ought to spend. Say: “That which is beyond your needs.” Thus Allah makes clear to you His Laws in order that you may give thought.”

• Love your Neighbor – Do good with fervent acts of Charity.

The Women 36 – Worship Allah and join none with Him in worship, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, Al-Masakin (the poor), the neighbor who is near of kin, the neighbor who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess. Verily, Allah does not like such as are proud and boastful;

Family of Imran 134 – Those who spend [in Allah’s Cause – deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).

• Doeth the will of Allah unto eternal life.  Heaven is real, so make sure you prepare for it with a walk serving Allah and neighbor.   

The Spider 64 – And this life of the world is only amusement and play! Verily, the home of the Hereafter, that is the life indeed (i.e. the eternal life that will never end), if they but knew

The Letter Qaf 32 – (It will be said): “This is what you were promised, – (it is) for those oft-returning (to Allah) in sincere repentance, and those who preserve their covenant with Allah (by obeying Him in all what He has ordered, and worship none but Allah Alone, i.e. follow Allah’s Religion, Islamic Monotheism).

The Letter Qaf 33 – “Who feared the Most Beneficent (Allah) in the Ghaib (unseen): (i.e. in this worldly life before seeing and meeting Him), and brought a heart turned in repentance (to Him – and absolutely free from each and every kind of polytheism),

The Letter Qaf 34 – “Enter you therein in peace and security; this is a Day of eternal life!”

Believe that Allah has a plan for you.  Have faith and worship only one true Allah.  Do not let any man, any church or any church leader, lead you into believing that you do not have to show your faith by doing Allah’s will.  Do not be deceived.  Allah is looking for you to do good and live Allah’s gospel of Love.    

To God be the glory in all you do, Amen.
