Faithful Reflections

Jacob Gathered His Tribe Prophet Jacob, peace be upon him (pbuh), before his death summoned his twelve sons and their families at his deathbed (Genesis 49). He blesses them and told the future of his whole tribe. Prophecy This prophecy may be regarded as the nucleus of these scriptures which can be found in Genesis (49:10): "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he (Shiloh) comes to whom it belongs; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples." In many versions of the Bible, Shiloh is written instead of the pronoun he. Incidentally, Shiloh is also a name of a town, but it is interesting to note that another meaning of it is peace, tranquility, e.g. Islam. Shiloh refers to a person  who would come and bring peace to the people. So the Israelite Prophethood would stop as soon as the he (Shiloh) comes. Another warning to Israelites to cease as a nation before God is foretold in the book of...

If one studies the Bible and approach the subject objectively will be surprised to know that the established truths of the churches since centuries are preposterous, absurd and puerile false. For, which they are used. They must stand by their meaning direct and plain to be understood. That the original words in the Bible need not be rephrased, or hidden in group of words that convey different meaning. Remember that Almighty God (Allah), the Creator, is the Ultimate Truth: He is not the author of confusion. Prophecy One of the most striking prophecies in the Bible for the advent of Muhammad (pbuh) is found in the book of Psalm (110:1) "The Lord says to my Lord: 'Sit at my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool." It is quoted in the Gospels of Matthew (22:44), Mark (12:36) and Luke (20:42). In most translated versions of the Bible in different languages, two name (Lords) are preceded by a capital letter "L" which implies that both wer...

Prophecy   One of those prominent prophecies for the advent of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) can be found in the book of Deuteronomy (18:18-19): "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And whoever will not give heed to my words which he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him." Such of those who attend the Sunday Bible School will tell you at the impulse of the moment that the prophet referred to here was Jesus (peace be upon him). Similarly, Christian theologians including those with credentials of the highest eminence teach the same dogma because they are programmed to believe in. The Bible writers who were openly prejudiced, because of chauvinism, jingoism, jealousy, and their apparent patriotism and nationalism were include to favor Prophet Isaac (pbuh), the second son of Prophet Abraham (pbuh) bore to him by his ...

The commissioning of Muhammad (pbuh) This topic may come as a bolt from the blue to non-Muslims, and may even bewilder some to the extent to conclude that it is a kind of hoax that the unlettered Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was indeed prophesized on many occasions in the Bible. Right reason tells that the truth prevails over falsehood, as Allah says: "that the truth stands out clear from error..." We are also told in the Quran that Allah, by his Mercy, sent prophets to all nations of the world and the last of them was Muhammad (pbuh), the seal of all prophets. While each of the previous prophets was sent to a certain tribe with a particular mission and at a specific time, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was sent for all mankind. His message was the Final Revelation, the Last Testament and the Complete Code of Life with a universal and comprehensive characters applicable to all mankind until the Last Day. It was long after the departure of Jesus (pbuh...
