Listen Plato, let us be realistic and use your mind.
- I am not sure if you are Christian or not, but the Christians they worship Jesus Christ who is a human made of flesh and they worship the Cross and they worship Mary the Mother of Jesus and they worship the Holy Ghost and I don't think they know what the holy Ghost is. they worship all those beside the father (God)
- We only worship but God, there are rituals like prayer, as the Jews and Christians pray towards Jerusalem in earlier days, I am not sure what they do today, Muslims prayed pointing towards Jerusalem at the begining then God commanded us to pray towards Mecca (Kaba'a). We do not worship Kaba'a nor do we worship Safa and Marwah, and I believe you are ignorant about the two places and the meaning of them, Also I believe you don't know that Kaba'a is the first house of prayer set by Adam as commanded by God on this earth.
- Abraham rebuilt the Kaba'a with Ishmael (His son) whom the Jews and christians deny.
- Marawah and Safa are two hills in Mecca when Hagar was going back and forth looking for water for her baby child (17 years old baby according to the bible) to give him a drink of water otherwise he will die.
- The Black stone, was not black, it was whiter than the snow, it was blackend because of the sins of the people all over the world, it is a heavenly stone, not of this earth. we don't worship it.
- In every religion there are rituals, but in other religions (other than Islam) they worship the earthly things. We worship God only, we don't worship the cross, or Mary or Mohammad, or Jesus or the Holy Ghost.
- Arabic is the Language of the Quran, What was the Language of the Torah and Ingeel ?? IT was Hebrew and Aramaic, right ? where are these original works of God?? . Non-Existant !!!!
- The Quran is wholey the words of God, the Bible are books written by earthly people, whose work have been mutilated, corrupted, forged to suit their interests during the eras they lived in.
- These books of the bible were translated from Hebrew and Aramaic to Latin and English and other Earthly languages. What do you think happend during the translation. wrong meaning.
- first of all the original text of the bible does not exist, second the translation were corrupted and we have seen how the translation of the Quran could be corrupted by people who do not fully understand the Arabic language.
- But at least the Quran as originally descended on Mohammad is preserved. All over the word 1.5 Billion muslims read the same text. it is a reference for any dispute.
- The Bible have 1000s of different copies and different wordings and different meanings
- Which one do you follow a corrupt book the bible which is corrupt and you do not know which is God's words and which is people's words or the Quran which is wholey God's words.
- All the time during mankind on this earth, God send many prophets, why do you think he sent so many prophets ??? - I am not sure if you know the answer.
- God said in the Quran that he sent a prophet to every nation on this earth and he sent Mohammad to all the world. People should master Arabic Language. Although 1.5 billion people read Arabic, but a fraction knows it well (even Arabic native tongue people do not know it very well)
- Why they Arabs are ignorant of their language ??? - because of the west colonization and domination, but we are witnessing awakening in this century, it is gradually being enforced.
- so in 20 years time, you wil hear of a strong Islam and Muslims
I beg you before you make any stupid comments read history impartially and read Islam and the Quran with open mind, then God willing you will be guided, otherwise you will be at loss in this life and hereafter
enough is said
