Al-Aqsa Flood and the red heifer

Update about the rumors 2024: There is no ceremony on April 22nd, which is Passover Eve, when Jews will all concentrate on the Passover lamb, not on a burned red cow. There is no altar anywhere in Jerusalem. There is no prophecy of a red heifer whatsoever.

The “Al-Aqsa Flood” is what Hamas named the October 7th invasion and massacre. This is not a new thing. The attempt to create a pan Islamic unity in the fight to eliminate Israel is leading them always to talk about the Temple Mount. “Al-Aqsa is in danger” (Arabic: الأقصى في خطر) is a popular political slogan used to oppose efforts by Jewish hardliners to take over the Temple Mount. The annual “Al-Aqsa in Danger Festival” was in some years (1996-2015) the most-attended Islamic festival in Israel.

The rise in numbers of Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount to over 50,000 in the past couple of years made Islamic fanatics worry and get angry.

However, the red heifer wasn’t specified as the reason for the October attack when it was announced on that horrific Saturday morning. What has been mentioned was the constant “invasion” of Jews to the Al Aqsa holy site.

It wasn’t until 100 days into the war that Hamas spokesperson Abu Ubeidah mentioned the words “red cows” in his speech. Why? Continue reading Al-Aqsa Flood and the red heifer

Muslims are not forbidden to congratulate Christians

Muslim World League head disagrees with Zakir Naik over “prohibition of wishing Merry Christmas”.

Muslim World League head Sheikh Dr Mohammed Al-Issa holds the view that Islam does not prohibit Muslims from exchanging Christmas greetings with Christians.

Al-Issa particularly reiterated that there was no text in Sharia law that disallowed Muslims from extending greetings to Christians.

He also clarified that there was no religious text that prohibited such greetings, and when a Muslim greeted another non-Muslim on their religious celebration, this did not mean he/she is acknowledging another faith.

In fact, Al-Issa indicated that extending best wishes to non-Muslims who are celebrating their religious festivity “is an apparent interest that serves the reputation of Islam.”

“The purpose of these greetings is to promote co-existence and harmony in a world that is in dire need of that,” justified head of the Makkah-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) which aims to clarify the true message of Islam.

To re-cap, Zakir had on last Friday (Dec 23,2023) Zakir posted a photo caption on his Twitter page which is meant to insinuate that “if a Muslim wishes Merry Christmas, then he/she is admitting that God/Allah is the biological father to Jesus/Isa”.

The Sharia

Sharia is not a codified law. It has never been fully applied at any time or place.

Sharia is the entirety of Islamic law as recorded in the Koran, Islamic tradition and the interpretations of authoritative theologians and jurists.

The term “Sharia” is often rendered as “Islamic law” or “Islamic law”; however, this is incorrect because it suggests that Sharia is about a body of clearly defined laws enacted by a legislature, which is not the case: Sharia remains open to some interpretation.

This means that “the Sharia” cannot exist as a constitutional law. Continue reading The Sharia

Doubts about Muhammad’s night journey from Jerusalem

In a talk show on Egyptian television, Ibrahim Issa publicly described the night journey/ascension as a “completely delusional story”. He was heavily criticized for these statements by Islamic theologians in Egypt and also on social media and was then briefly arrested by state authorities.

Mohammed is said to have raced on a mythical creature, the winged white horse al-Buraq with a woman’s head, from Mecca to Jerusalem, from there to heaven and then back again.

The Ascension is not clearly mentioned in the Koran. It is also interesting that at the time of Mohammed there was only the ruins of St. Mary’s Church on the Temple Square.

According to MoroccoWorldNews, Saudi Oussama Yemani claims the real Al-Aqsa Mosque is in al Ji’ranah near Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

The Regâib Night – The Muslim Night of Wishes

The Muslim Regâib Night begins with the evening prayer on Thursday, February 3, 2022. Muhammad pointed out that on this night the supplications (Duâ) will be answered (according to Imâm Shaafî, Al-Umm). The Regâib Night was celebrated for the first time in the middle of the 12th century. The alleged Regaib prayer was invented by a Sufi named Ali bin Abdullah bin Jahdam (in 1023).

Most Islamic scholars categorically reject renewal within the rituals. There is not a single authentic Hadith about any of the said Kandil Nights. The Qur’an says: Today I have perfected your religion for you and completed my mercy on you and have chosen Islam for your faith” [Al-Ma’ida 5:3]. But one difficulty is that the five pillars of Islam are not in the Koran either. The complete creed is also missing. Even the course of the ritual prayers is not there.

Christians, on the other hand, can always turn to Heavenly Father, who loves and cares for them. Ephesians 5:20: “Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” And Ephesians 6:18: “Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication”.

Muslim paradise versus Christian heaven

In the Koran, Allah describes the Muslim paradise as follows: “They (those who are close to God) lie opposite one another on couches with a gold thread, while eternally young boys make the rounds among them with tankards and jugs (full of wine?) And a mug (full) of spring water (to be mixed in?), from which they neither get a headache nor get drunk and (with all kinds of) fruits, whatever (always) they want, and meat from poultry whatever they want. And wide-eyed Huris (they have them at their disposal) to compare (in their beauty) well-kept pearls”(Sura 56: 15-23). Sura 52.20 describes what is meant by Huris: “We give them wide-eyed Huris as wives

The Muslim paradise seems to be a land of milk and honey, in which the man is served by boys and can take of several women.

According to tradition, Allah is in seventh heaven behind the lotus tree and not even the angel Gabriel is allowed to go to him. Allah lives for himself.

Christian heaven

Jesus, on the other hand, speaks of preparing homes for his followers (John 14: 2-3). One serves another in his kingdom (John 13: 14-15; 15: 12). Relationship with God is the focus (Revelation 21: 3). Earthly needs will no longer exist (for examples sexuality: Matthew 22:30). A newly shaped joy will fill people which we know little here, and which cannot be passed over into earthly life. Paul calls these “indescribable words” (2 Corinthians 12: 4). God himself will wipe away the tears of his children (Revelation 21: 4). Jesus taught that all who receive him into their lives (open the door for him, Revelation 3: 20) and walk with him, become children of God (John 1: 12) so that they may be where he is (John 14:3). Christian heaven is not about a place, it is about fellowship with God. Whoever accepts the offer of forgiveness from God through Jesus comes as a prerequisite, already here God’s presence through the Holy Spirit and he changes him. In order to reach heaven, we have to want God and Jesus and spend time with him already here. Christian longing is not a place, but a person: Jesus.

The main differences are: Christian heaven is about fellowship with God. In the Muslim paradise, Allah seems to be absent. In the Christian heaven one helps each other. In the Muslim paradise there are servants and masters. It seems that the women lie on the couches only when the man asks for them. It is also not clear who the young men and the wives are. Are these other Muslims?

When Muslims and Christians are saved on their own terms, they will not be in the same place.
