| NOW ASK YOURSELF,IS IT POSSIBLE FOR GOD TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE, HE MADE ADAM AND EVE WITHOUT GIVING THEM BIOLOGICAL PARENTS YET THEY TOLD YOU THE STORY AND YOU BELIEVED THAT ADAM-THE FIRST MAN WAS MADE BY GOD. NOW, FROM YOU WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR QURAN, GO THRO IT AGAIN, DONT BE BIAS OR SENTIMENTAL, WISELY AND HUMANLY DEBATE IN YOUR MIND ON THE STORY. ASK YOURSELF SOME QUESTIONS. YOU WILL PERHAPS, GET THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION. DONT FORGET! FOOLS DONT THINK. THEY TALK SENSELESSLY. RESPCET!!! [/color]
Inemx i have never seen a senseless human being like u. See stop confusing ur self, is it not the same miracle that God did in creating Adam and Eve that He use in creating Jesus? y dont u people say Adam and Eve are also children of God (God forbid) y did u just decide to use Jesus alone? see let me tell u if Jesus should come back today just the way u people claim that he is coming back, he will deny u all, no excemption. [/quote]
@The-s-man, they know what am saying its true; many other Christian sects have confirmed this to be true but religious sentimentality will not allow them to accept. We do not deny Christ but what Christians should be aware is dat Christ is not God for he never called himself God.......... | | | | |

...and invariably, the faithful spreads out his hands to God, asking forgiveness, seeking His blessings, beseeching His protection for mankind...
"Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and defend us from the torment of the Fire."-(HOLY QURAN 2:201)
"...when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven."-(1 KINGS 8:54).
And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that Thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that Thou hast sent me.-(JOHN 11:41-42).
...and on Fridays, before the prayer immediately after noon, the imam climbs up the pulpit to preach a sermon that the faithful may listen and heed the words of God, and so shall it be, forever.
"When the call is sounded for prayer on Fridays, hasten to the remembrance of God...but when the prayer is ended, disperse abroad in the land and seek of God´s grace and remember God, that you may be successful."-(HOLY QURAN 62:9-10).
"It was the first religion that preached and practised democracy; for, in the mosque when the call from the Minaret is sounded and the worshippers are gathered together, the democracy of Islam is embodied five times a day when the peasant and the king kneel side by side and proclaim, "God alone is great." I have been struck over and over again by this indivisible unity of Islam that makes a man distinctively a brother."
NOW INEMX CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE IT IS FOUND IN OUR BOOK THAT WE PRAY TO THE SUN. LOL SOMETIMES U DONT EVEN REVIEW WHAT YOU ARE POSTING.
WE DONT NEED TO PROOF ANYTHING TO ANYBODY BUT TO GOD ALMIGHTY ALONE.
"VERILY THE RELIGION OF ISLAM IS FOREVER"
DEAR MUSLIMS LETS CONTINUE TO GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH FOR GUIDING US TO THE RIGHT PATH.
ALLAH IS THE GREATEST | | | | |

While in the mosque, the Muslim faithfuls face that Great Mosque in Mecca, whether in prayer, or reciting, or seeking the blessings of God in unisom with the faithful from all over the world...
"So turn thy face toward the Sacred Mosque, and (O Muslims), wheresoever ye may be, turn your faces toward it."- (HOLY QURAN 2:144).
"Now when Daniel...went into his house; and his window being open in his chamber towards Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and thanks before his God, as he did aforetime."-(DANIEL 6:10). {THE BIBLE}
(DANIEL PRAYED FACING JERUSALEM)
...The Mosque is a place of peace and serenity, without images or idols of worship, and simple, with a carpet on which to stand or sit, and meditate.
"God forgiveth not (the sin of) joining other gods with Him;...one who joins other gods with God, hath strayed far, far away (from the Right)."-(HOLY QURAN 4:116).
"I am the Lord thy God...Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them."-(THE FIRST COMMANDMENT, EXODUS 20:2-5).
..and when the time of prayer is come, Muslims stand and bow before God, and make obeisance to Him, by touching the ground before them with their foreheads...
They do blaspheme who say: "God is Christ, the son of Mary." But said Christ:" O Children of Israel! Worship God, my Lord and your Lord."-(HOLY QURAN 5:75).
They do blaspheme who say: God is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God.-(HOLY QURAN 5:76).
And, behold, one came and said unto him (Jesus), "Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but One, that is God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the Commandments.-(MATTHEW 19:16-17).
"O you who believe! Bow down and prostrate yourselves and serve your Lord, and do good that you may prosper."-(HOLY QURAN 22:77).
"And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..."-(MATTHEW 26:39).
"And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship..."-(JOSHUA 5:14).
"And he (Elijah) cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees."-(1 KINGS 18:42).
"And they (Moses and Aaron) fell upon their faces..."-(NUMBERS 20:6).
"And Abraham fell on his face..."-(GENESIS 17:3).

I knew this is what you plan on doing but it doesnt mean that when somebody keeps quiet he doesnt knows what he/she is doing.
Every religion has its own way of worship or communicating with God.
@Ienmx, if you dont about something you should ask and not trying to claim right by insulting others.
In the name of Allah (God), The Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord (Who is the Creator, Sustainer and Guide) of all the worlds.
This is what millions of Muslims say 5 times a day before praying:
Allah(God) is Greatest.
Allah(God) is Greatest
I bear witness that there is no other object of worship but Allah.
I bear witness that there is no other object of worship but Allah(God).
I bear witness that Muhummed is the Messenger of Allah(God).
I bear witness that Muhummed is the Messenger of Allah(God).
Come to prayer.
Come to prayer.
Come to Success.
Come to Success.
Allah(God) is Greatest.
Allah(God) is Greatest.
There is no other object of worship but Allah(God).
"When he came to the Fire, a voice was uttered: O Moses! I am thy Lord, therefore put off thy shoes, for thou art in the sacred valley of Tuwa."-(HOLY QURAN 20:11-12).
(And God said to Moses), "Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground."-(EXODUS 3:5, also ACTS 7:33).
...but before entering the mosque, Muslims make ablution, washing their faces, hands and feet..
"O you who belive! When you rise up to prayer, wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbows, and wipe your heads, and wash your feet to the ankles."-(HOLY QURAN 5:7)
"And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat; when they went into tent of the conregation they washed as the Lord commanded Moses."-(EXODUS 40:31-32).
"Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple..."-(ACTS 21:26).
AS YOU CAN SEE PAUL, MOSES, AARON PURIFIED THEMSELVES WHICH IS AN ACT WE MUSLIMS DO AS COMMANDED BY GOD ALMIGHTY.... | | | | |

| I KNOW OF THE BIRTH, DEATH, RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION OF JESUS CHRIST INTO HEAVEN, BUT CAN ANYONE TELL US THE WHEREABOUT OF THE MOHAMMED. ARE WE SURE HIS IN HEAVEN OR IN THE DESERTS?
The Prophet Muhammad was not a god that is why we as Muslims are not commanded to worship him that is why we are not called Muahhamedans.
Muhammad (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) was raised illiterate, unable to read or write, and remained like that till his death. Among all his people, he was known as being truthful and trustworthy. Before receiving revelation, he had no prior knowledge of Religion or any previously sent Message. He remained like that for his first forty years. Revelation then came to Muhammad with the Qur’an that we now have between our hands. This Qur’an mentioned most of the accounts found in the previous scriptures, telling us about these events in the greatest detail as if he witnessed them. These accounts came precisely as they were found in the Torah sent down to Moses and in the Gospel sent down to Jesus. Neither the Jews or Christians were able to believe him regarding anything that he said.
Just like many other Prophets, Moses,Noah,Isaac,Joseph,Solomon all of these who were also humans died just like he died. So can you tell me their whereabouts?
Two months after performing the Hajj (Farewell Pilgrimage), Prophet Muhammad fell ill. He continued to lead the congregation prayers. After one of these prayers he invoked special blessings on the martyrs of Uhud, and then addressed the Muslims:
“There is a slave among the slaves of Allah (The One God) to whom God has offered the choice between this world and that which is with Him, and the slave has chosen that which is with God.”
Upon hearing this Abu Bakr (ra) wept as he understood that the Prophet was talking about himself and that the choice meant his imminent death. The Prophet continued:
“I warn you O Muslims to be good to the Ansar (the Helpers, i.e., those residents of Medina who helped the Emigrants from Mecca). They have performed their duty well. Muslims will increase in number but Ansar will dwindle and be as salt in a meal.
“Woe to the nations before you who worshiped the tombs of their prophets. I forbid you to do that. O people, the most unselfish of men to me in his companionship is Abu Bakr, and if I were to take from mankind an inseparable friend he would be Abu Bakr - but the brotherhood of faith is ours until God unite us in His presence. O my dear daughter Fatimah and O my dear aunt Safiyah, spend your efforts in the way of the hereafter for I will not be able to help you against the Will of Allah.
“I go before you and I am your witness. Your meeting with me is at the pool (a lake fed by the celestial river Kawthar where believers will quench their thirst on their entry into paradise.). I fear not for you that you will set up gods beside Allah (The One God); but I fear for you that you will rival one another in worldly gains.”
THOSE PEOPLE YOU EARLIER MENTIONED IN YOU ARGUMENT WERE JUST PEOPLE LIKE ME AND YOU WHOM JEHOVAH GOD CHOOSED TO LEAD AND RULE OVER THEM AT THE TIME. THEY ALL RECOGNISED THE DIVINE DIGINITY OF THE PERSON OF JESUS. THERE IS NO MISTAKE FOLLOW JESUS TEACHINGS. HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH,AND THE LIFE. NO ONE SEES GOD EXCEPT THRO HIM. JESUS SAID,... I GO TO MY FATHER TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU... WHAT DID MOHAMMAD SAY WHEN HE WAS SEEING DARKNESS?

Abeg weey you eehhh Harunshehu are you cleared on the simple truth??? God bless you too as you follow the right path. Let me hear you say Amen. I always hate to go into Religious arguments, being silent does not mean that i agree totally with what you said. Like many other Muslims i love Jesus too but you must understand that though we hold him in a high position in our religion, we will never worship him or take him to be a God as you do. "For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."(quran 109:6) PEACE...... Jesus told us that He came in the Father's name. ALL Came in the name of God not only Jesus. Me, you, all i mean all. @attaman: When I died, the only person that led me to Almighty God was Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the truth, the way and the Life. Nobody can come to the Father except through Him. This is the truth. Many will come in the name of God, but God never sent them. omatu do you know your presence in this world is a mission. please can you tell me who's mission are you here to accomplished? and who orders the mission? Thanks. @attamem Below is my mission here on this earth Dear Omatu, Your Call "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come," Matt 24:14 http://www.virtualbibleschool.com/ForwardThisRevelationToAllBelievers.htm The Mystery of the Four Precepts on Four Lines in Isaiah Chapter 28 has now been revealed and the church must hear and know it in order to be free from the Law of Sin and Death (Romans 8:2). This Word embodies the Work of the Cross, the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ, the Four Dimensions of God's Love, the Keys to the Kingdom and how to use them for total victory to enter rest in Christ. It is to be forwarded to the entire Church of Jesus Christ at large, all denominations, ministries (including church leaders), and anyone who names the name of Christ. ====== What Almighty God and my Lord Jesus Christ told me was to go and tell everybody what happened to me when I died. "For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."(quran 109:6) PEACE...... @Harunshehu - I have searched your quote (quran 109:6) - this is actually what it states: 109.006 To you be your Way, and to me mine. What is my Way? Jesus Christ is my Way, my Truth, and my Life.  Then follow your way and let others follow theirs. What are you talking about cadanre? What exactly is your problem? Have I asked you to come my way? I am content in my way. If you are content in your way, then stay there. No need to make an argument out of this. According to the Quaran - Surah 1:6,7 001.006 Show us the straight way, 001.007 The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray. According to the Bible, Jesus is the straight and narrow way. Jesus is the one that saved us by Grace. WE ARE SAVED BY HIS GRACE AND NOT BY LAW. JESUE HATH FINISHED THE WORK OF GRACE ON THE CROSS WHEN HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR A RANSOME, SO THAT WE MIGHT LIVE.  | | | | |

Soon after this sermon, his last in the mosque, the Prophet became so weak that he could not move. He then appointed Abu Bakr (ra) to lead the prayers. The Prophet spent the rest of his illness in the apartment of his beloved wife A’ishah (ra). On the early morning of twelfth of Rabi’ al-Awwal, the prophet’s fever abated and he went to the mosque, assisted by Fadl and Thawban, when Abu Bakr was already leading the prayer. Realizing that the prophet was approaching, Abu Bakr stepped back without turning his head, but the prophet pressed his hand on his shoulder to let him know to continue. The Prophet sat on the right of Abu Bakr and completed the prayer while seated. The apparent recovery of the Prophet overjoyed the Muslims. Anas (ra) is reported to have said that I never saw the Prophet’s face more beautiful than it was at that hour.
Within hours, the Prophet lost his consciousness. He opened his eyes again an hour later saying to A’ishah (ra): “No Prophet is taken by death until he has been shown his place in Paradise and then offered the choice to live or to die.” Among the last words he said were:
“With the supreme communion in Paradise, with those upon whom God has showered his favor, the prophets and the saints and the martyrs and the righteous, most excellent for communion are they.”
The Prophet’s last words were “O Allah, with the supreme communion.” He died in the evening of the twelfth of Rabi’ al-Awwal (June 8, 632 A.D.) at the age of sixty-three.
The news of the Prophet’s death was so hard upon close companions and Muslims that some of them refused to believe that he had passed away. (At the close of his death, he looked youthful as if in his forties and his face always shown a great radiance). Upon hearing this, Abu Bakr (ra) who was later to become the first caliph went to the mosque and delivered one of the noblest speeches:
“O People! If Muhammad is the sole object of your adoration, then know that he is dead. But if it is Allah (The One God) you Worshiped, then know that He does not die.”
He then recited the following verse from the Qur'an, 3:144, which was revealed after the Battle of Uhud:
“Muhammad is no more than an Apostle: many were the Apostles that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will you then turn back on your heels? If any did turn back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah; but Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve Him) with gratitude.”
The Prophet was buried the next day at the same place where he died. The place of his burial was decided by his saying as related by Abu Bakr (ra): “Allah does not cause a prophet to die but in the place where he is to be buried.”
The Prophet lived a most simple, austere and modest life. He and his family used to go without cooked meal several days at a time, relying only on dates, dried bread and water. During the day he was the busiest man, as he performed his duties in many roles all at once as head of state, chief justice, commander-in-chief, arbitrator, instructor and family man. He was the most devoted man at night. He used to spend one- to two-thirds of every night in prayer and meditation (Qur'an 73:20). All of his children died before his death except Fatimah (ra) who died six months after his death. All of the Prophet’s wives (known as Ummul Momineen, i.e., mother of the faithful) passed their widowhood during the remaining period of their lives.
The Prophet’s possession consisted of mats, blankets, jugs and other simple things even when he was the virtual ruler of Arabia. He left nothing to be inherited except a white mule (a gift from Muqawqis), few ammunition and a piece of land that he had made a gift during his life time. Among his last words were: “We the community of Prophets are not inherited. Whatever we leave is for charity.”
The Prophet’s actions and words were remembered and later recorded (known as Hadith), so that Muslims in future generations to the end of time could try to act and speak as he did. He has served as an example for all Muslims in all periods to modern times. He will remain a model example for all of humanity.
