“….Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."”
Quran 2:111)
I love chocolate, I like spicy food and buns and i like to be home on a Friday. Really Good ...
Certainly, a sense of decadence and perhaps luxury. Thinking about it, commercially it makes good sense. This time of the year brings to mind recent books like that of Dan Brown and movies like the Passion of the Christ and of course the Bible, not forgetting the Torah. I am also familiar with another book that has shed further light on some matters discussed in all of the aforementioned.
This book confirms the revelation of the Torah and Gospel and the high status of such people as Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them both). This book tells us much of these two people as well as their predecessors, foremost of whom was Abraham, peace be upon him.
Some of the most important points in this book are:
1. The worship of One God
2. To not associate partners with God, Almighty
3. That there is life after this life on earth
4. That God Almighty sent many prophets and messengers (peace be upon them all)
5. That He has the power over all things
The further interesting aspect is that He, God Almighty, has created “man” in four different ways:
1. Without parents – i.e. Adam (peace be upon him)
2. Without a mother (but from a man) – Eve
3. Without a father (but only a mother) – Jesus (peace be upon him)
4. With a mother and father – generally all of us.
So His power exceed our understanding, but the creation in any of the above is easy for him, for if you could create man from nothing, it is easy for Him, God Almighty, to create a man from a mother only, without a father.
And so, there were a group of people who persecuted the Prophets sent by God Almighty and killed them. Then these people went on to claim the killing of Jesus (peace be upon him). But He, who has the power over all things, most definitely did not allow that to happen, as Christians too testify that Jesus (peace be upon him) ascended to Heaven alive. So they disputed on who was on the right path- but the book i mentioned, gives a good expose and confirms a few things concerning Jesus (peace be upon him)
1. Jesus (peace be upon ) was born of a virgin mother
2. Jesus (peace be upon performed miracles
3. Jesus (peace be upon ) did not claim to be God or the son of God or used the word Trinity (as the deity of worship) in any way
4. Jesus (peace be upon ) did NOT die on the cross
5. Jesus (peace be upon ) ascended to heaven alive
6. Jesus was neither a Jew nor a Christian
In Jesus’s time and even the time immediately after him, there was no bunnies or spicy buns related to any form of worship or remembrance of Jesus (peace be upon him) – Thus it clearly is not part of his teachings.
We follow the final revelation, which came to confirm which came before it. As Muslims, having the highest respect for Jesus (peace be upon him) – being the topic of discussion, and as followers of the final messenger of Allah, Muhammad – peace be upon him – we have a responsibility to speak the truth on Jesus – peace be upon him. We have a responsibility to convey the message of the Prophets which also Jesus (peace be upon him) conveyed – to worship the God of Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
So my love for chocolate remains, but I will be a hypocrite to indulge in symbols associated with this period which has nothing to do with the good name of Jesus (peace be upon him).
So my like for spicy food remains, but I will be a hypocrite to indulge in symbols associated with this period which has nothing to do with the good name of Jesus (peace be upon him).
Muslims are awaiting the return of Jesus –peace be upon him. We love him and acknowledge his contribution to delivering the message of his Creator – his Lord and Our Lord.
In conclusion: This is all to be found in a book wherein there no doubt, a book of guidance.
