CHAPTER
TWENTY ONE:
Mohammed,
THE GURU There
is a vast difference between a prophet and a guru. A prophet comes to people in
the name of their god, and he declares a message directly from their god. The
reverence of the people is directed by the prophet toward their god, not the prophet.
On the other hand, a guru comes to the people with a very private message.
A guru claims some vague association with the gods, but his objective is to form
a following of people who are totally beholding to him, the alternate of the god,
for every detail of life. The god is kept far away, lest he interfere with the
guru's lust for power and his leeching on the people for sustenance. The most
powerful picture of this self-serving mongrel religious game is found in India
and Hinduism.
My friend, Bansal Singh, owned a shop in Eldoret, Kenya. I would talk to him about
the uniqueness of The Lord Jesus Christ, and Bansal would tell me about Guru Nanak.
No matter how I contrasted Jesus with guru Nanak's small mind, Bansal would conclude,
"Your Jesus is just like Guru Nanak." Finally, I was able to show him that Jesus
Christ claimed to be God, while Guru Nanak rejected Christ's claims. The guru's
followers worshipped Nanak and kissed his writings, while their god languished
from neglect. This is why we cannot compare Jesus with Mohammed, as he hoped we
would. Jesus Christ is the Judge of Mohammed according to the Bible and in this
book. A number
of years ago, Ruth Carter Stapleton, who claimed to be a "Christian" health expert,
was at a holistic conference for New Age empty heads, where she fit very well.
Christian press reporters tried in vain to speak with her, but she avoided all
contact with Christians.
One reporter picked up a conversation between Ruth Stapleton and the representative
of a guru in India. The disciple of the guru commented to Ruth Stapleton, regarding
her books and speeches, "I think your Jesus and my guru are very much alike."
Ruth Stapleton responded, "I think so, I think so." This lady, sister of alleged
Baptist, Jimmy Carter, has failed to see that Jesus Christ is God, not an alternate
guru. So, Muslims are not the only ones in need of light in this study.
Though he claimed to be a prophet, by any definition, Mohammed was a guru. Gurus
were not well defined in his day, but it is now easy to see that his claim to
be a prophet was totally uncharacteristic of the Bible prophets whom he claimed
to follow. Previous chapters of this book have shown us the Hadith with all of
its fine details of bathroom training, nose blowing, and just about every small
detail of life. This is the first evidence of Mohammed's guruistic nature. Like
the Pharisees of Jesus' day, the guru uses detailed codes of life to put the people
into bondage to himself. But let us go on to see his words and those of his followers.
They are the words of guruism.
Page 216 INTRODUCTION:
PLEASE MEET GURU Mohammed Islam,
like Christianity, has its catechism. It is taught in the grand Madrassas (schools)
of Saudi Arabia and under Baobab trees in Tanzania, but it is the foundation of
truth to the Islamic follower. From childhood he is drilled in the questions,
and he gives the answer in a shouting voice. The first question in the catechism
is, "What is religion?" The answer: "Religion is what Allah revealed by the mouth
of his Prophet, of Wisdom, such as the knowledge of the attributes of Allah, and
Prayer, and Almsgiving."
It is evident that Mohammed is the foundation of all truth in Islam. All Bible
prophets are cast aside, and their writings are used only to destroy those prophets,
mock the authority of the God of the Bible, and blaspheme his Son, The Lord Jesus
Christ. To
further establish the role of Mohammed in Islam, the declaration of faith is given
in the catechism. To recite it is the first of five "pillars," or acts of faith,
in Islam, and it states, "La ilaha illa `llah; Mohammed rasul Ullah." The English
translation is, "There is only one God, Allah; Mohammed is the Apostle of Allah."
The word "rasul" can also be translated, "Prophet." The word "Ras" is used in
Ethiopia for a king serving under a high king. In the Middle East "Ras" is often
prefixed to the name of a mountain or prominent place. The word clearly puts Mohammed
in the highest visible place in Islam, while Allah is unseen and basically "out
to lunch."
The reader will notice, in the first phrase, the use of "IL," the primal word
for the Sumerian and Babylonian god, Enlil. The use of the "IL" root in the third
word as the generic word for a god is damning evidence that Jehovah / El-Elyon
/ Elohim, or whatever Bible name you wish, never came near Mecca. So Mohammed
is the prophet of Haji Allah, the pagan god of Babylon. On this we can all agree.
(FOOTNOTE 24: 213 / 324-36 / 545-50 )
We learn more from the Islamic catechism where, numerous times, Mohammed is referred
to as "Lord Mohammed." Jesus Christ said in..... The
Bible, John 13:13, Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
The
Bible reserves the name "Lord" for God only, and, because he was God, Jesus Christ
claimed the title. The British custom of calling men "Lord" is a form of blasphemy,
and the majority of them are wicked men. The Apostle Peter said in..... The
Bible, I Peter 5:2-3, Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the
oversight thereof, not by
constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither
as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples (examples) to the
flock.
It
will be argued by the Mullahs that this is a generic title, but the placing of
the title "Lord" before the name of Mohammed and the capitalizing of it in the
English translations of the Koran, clearly gives Mohammed guruistic divinity.
Page 217 The
Islamic catechism also states, "Mohammed was a perfect man in character and attributes."
This implies that he was sinless. He said he wasn't, but one may yet be killed
in a number of Islamic countries for broaching even one question as to the life
and actions of Mohammed. Mohammed's followers have made him their infallible god
for all intents and purposes.
The vast bulk of the catechism is centered on Mohammed. Allah gets almost no mention
after the first declaration we studied. This also shows the guruistic nature of
the prophet who succeeded in closeting Haji Allah and exalting himself. One attribute
that Mohammed shared with the Mary of the Roman Catholic Church (their demonic
Mary is not the Bible's Mary) is that Mohammed prayed for the dead during his
lifetime here. The Bible indicates that this is futile since it says in..... The
Bible, Hebrews 9:27, And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment:
Even
Jesus Christ did not pray for the dead, and there is no place in the Bible where
a person's destiny can be altered after death. This is another of Mohammed's guruistic
attributes which makes him bigger than God. Blasphemy!
The "humble" prophet Mohammed said, "I am the most cultured of the Arabs," yet
he had to be deloused regularly by his wives. He said, "War is treachery," yet
he launched all sorts of wars and slaughtered men with great glee. One is reminded
of the words of another hypocrite, Franklin D. Roosevelt, when he said, "War is
Hell," then he gave the USA its greatest taste of war ever, and on one occasion
FDR gratefully accepted a bleached Japanese skull at a public rally.
After his death, Mohammed's followers enlarged the man to a clearly Messianic
and Divine level. It is said that when he was born, the palace of the Persian
emperor trembled, fourteen of its towers fell, the Mazdaean sacred fire went out,
a lake dried up, a marvellous light shone from his mother's breast, and its brightness
spread as far as Syria, and the Stars came down so close to witness his birth
that folks thought that they would fall on them. It is said that his body threw
no shadow, that flies would not settle on his garments (sorry about the lice,
it is recorded in the Hadith that he had them), and when his hair fell in the
fire it would not burn.
Page 218
Mohammed even made the moon travel seven times around the Kaaba and split in half,
after which, one half went up his right sleeve and emerged from his left sleeve.
Gabriel brought Mohammed five apples from heaven, one for himself and four for
the the Caliphs. Mohammed's apple talked with him for a while before he ate it.
These miracles are the stuff of the gurus. (FOOTNOTE 25: 133 / 303 / 1492)
The above
legend shows you how the miracles, which supposedly happened to Mohammed, were
not meant to exalt Allah. Rather, they exalt Mohammed to a place in the godhead
of Mecca. Just one comparison with The Bible men is enough. The
Bible, Acts 14:8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet,
being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
9 The same heard
Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to
be healed,
10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped
and walked.
11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up
their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in
the likeness of men.
12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius,
because he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was
before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done
sacrifice with the people.
14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul,
heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
15
And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with
you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living
God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
Here
we see the power of God to heal resulted in worship of the Apostles. Paul rejected
their guruizing zeal. Bible believers are only in awe of The Godhead from which
the power to heal was directed by the Bible prophet.
Mohammed's success, in conquering the Middle East, was the result of the spiritual
malaise that had settled over the area when Arabian Christianity was warped out
of recognition by the Nestorians, Jacobites, and Aryans. The mongrel Coptic Academy
at Alexandria was discussing how many angels could dance on the head of a pin,
while its perverted Gnostic manuscripts were already migrating toward the future
Vatican basement to corrupt the Word of God.
The Arabian Jews were obsessed with the Cabbala, a warped Babylonian invention
which had Elohim in bed with the goddesses Shakhina and Lilith. The ancient religions
of Babylon offered no anchor to the Arabs since the Greeks had replaced them with
their foreign Aryan pantheon. For this reason Mohammed offered an indigenous and
ego-massaging cult which was made in the back yard of the Arabs. It felt good,
so the Arabs exalted the Arab who invented it-- Mohammed. (FOOTNOTE 26: 157
/ 4-5 / 1880)
Page 219 Mohammed
ON Mohammed Next,
we want to know what Mohammed said about himself. He claimed to have the very
words of Allah, so let us hear from his own lips by way of the Koran and Hadith.
Each claim will be answered by the Bible. Al
Hadis, Vol. 2, p. 102, (92) Abu Qatada reported that the Messenger of Allah said,
"Whoever has seen me has indeed seen the truth." Agreed.
The Bible, John 1:17,
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
If
Mohammed is the person of truth in physical form, then Jesus Christ is a liar.
Note the definite article "the" in the next passage.
The Bible, John 14:6,
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me.
Either
Jesus Christ is right, and Mohammed is a blasphemer, or Mohammed is right, and
Jesus Christ is a liar. It is absurd in the extreme for Mohammed to contradict
Jesus' claim to be the exclusive truth, then turn around and patronize Jesus by
the saying, "Praise Be Upon Him." There is only one who is the truth, Mohammed
or Jesus Christ.
You Mullahs are the worst hypocrites when you say "Blessing Be Upon Him" about
Jesus, then you reject his claims for himself and, as Ahmed Deedat, intimate that
Jesus was a bastard. The
Bible, Ephesians 4:21, If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by
him, as the truth is in Jesus:
The
proof is here. Jesus was carefully watched by his enemies among the Jews for any
flaw in his character. He was listened to very carefully. No fault was found in
him, as his judge, Pilate, attested. The life and words of Jesus Christ changed
lives in Galilee, and they still do. His enemies must resort to lies in order
to cast Jesus Christ aside. It was not enough to merely look at Jesus Christ,
as Mohammed suggested we should. Truth enters more than the eyes of the beholder,
rather; it changes the listener.
Mohammed's "truth" made very little impact on the vile lust of the Arab tribes
of his day, nor has his teaching changed the sinful heart since his day. Sin rages
on in the Muslim life, unchecked and undisciplined. Keeping the Five Pillars of
Islam has NOTHING to do with a change, a new life, in the follower of Mohammed.
The "truth" of Mohammed is the "light" of Lucifer, the angel of pagan "truth."
The
Egyptian mystic, Dirimi reported that the Messenger of Allah said, "The first
light which Allah created was my light." When Adam got to heaven he found Mohammed's
name on Allah's throne and engraved everywhere. Adam asked, "Who then is this
Mohammed?" Allah answered, "He is thy descendant, and but for him, I should not
have created thee." Then Allah rebuked Adam for not praying to Mohammed. Dirimi
also reported, "All of creation was made of the substance of Mohammed."
Page 220
Now, if Mohammed was not eternal and in the Islamic godhead before the world was
created, pray tell, how did Haji Allah manage to consult him before he created
Adam, how could he create Adam from Mohammed's substance, and how could Adam pray
to Mohammed unless Mohammed was pre-existent and part of the deity? This is the
madness of Mohammed and the Mullahs, and it blasts Islam's monotheism into a cocked
hat. (FOOTNOTE 27: 133 / 304 and 306 / 1493)
The Bible answers in John
1:1-4, In the beginning was the Word (Jesus
Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the
beginning with God. All things were made by him (Jesus Christ); and without
him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the
light of men.
Mohammed's
claim, to be the original light and the head of the committee that brought on
the creation of the world and Adam, is a rank plagiarism. He probably heard something
like this from his uncle Waraqah or some Nestorian Christian and thought it sounded
good. Well, even the modern copyright laws recognize such trickery as theft.
The Bible, John 8:12, Then
spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth
me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Mohammed
would not follow Jesus as his Savior, so he was in the dark, and he came up with
his own second hand claim to be light. The
Bible, John 9:5, (Jesus said) As long as I am in the world, I am the light of
the world.
It
is very clear here that Jesus Christ was the light in the world, and, after He
ascended into heaven, divine light no longer had a physical form as Mohammed claimed.
That is why we now have the Bible. It is the only light which is physically available
to us. Jesus
gives the final judgment on the "light" of Mohammed in..... The
Bible, Matthew 6:23, But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that
darkness!
And
so it is with the guru, Mohammed. He is part of the darkness of this world.
By now you may be wondering if I am going too far in accusing Mohammed of selling
himself as pre-existent and in the godhead with Allah. I
refer to the Koran, Sura 53:29, (English text by A. Yusuf Ali. Allah is
speaking). Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message, and desire
nothing but the life of this world.
Note:
The word "Our" has the "O" capitalized! Who is the other with Allah, who is speaking.
Is it not Mohammed? Answer: YES, and the upper case "O" makes it clear that Mohammed
is in the Islamic godhead. The Muslim translators clearly have Mohammed in a class
above the human. I say that they have something more than monotheism. Call it
a Theistic Committee if you like, in any case, calling Mohammed a guru is not
even giving him the godlike position he claimed. Now, back to the Hadith for more
revelation from the prophet.
Page 221 Al
Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 341, Abu Hurairah reported from the Holy Prophet who said, "Verily,
I am a mercy that has been raised up." Attested by Darimi and Baihaqi.
Mohammed
IS the mercy. The
Prophet John the Baptist said in..... The
Bible, Matthew 3:1-3, In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness
of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this
is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying
in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Do you see the distinct difference? Mohammed craves all the attention and says,
"I am special, I am mercy." The Bible prophet directs our attention away from
himself and says, "Get ready for the coming of The Lord Jesus." The first is guruistic,
while the second is prophetic. Al
Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 367-368, Jaber-b-Samorah reported that the Apostle of Allah
said: "Verily I know certainly of a stone at Mecca which used to greet me before
prophethood. Surely I recognize it even now." Attested by Muslim.
There is a text in the Bible which makes it clear what the stones would say IF
they could talk: The
Bible, Luke 19:37-40, And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the
mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise
God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed
be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in
the highest." And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him,
"Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he (Jesus)
answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace,
the stones would immediately cry out.
If
the stones ever do cry out, it will be in praise of The Lord Jesus Christ, their
creator, not in greeting of a man who rejected the Messiah.
Al Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 389-391,
In this Hadith we have an account by Mohammed in which he claims that the angel
Gabriel came down and split open Mohammed's chest, washed it in the water of the
well at Zamzam, poured wisdom and faith into his chest, then took him by the hand
and ascended to Paradise.
What
follows resembles nothing from the Bible.
The high point of Mohammed's visit to Paradise was to come to Allah as he was
tallying up the accounts of those who should enter Paradise.
The Apostle of Allah said,
"Allah ordained fifty prayers a day for Muslims. I returned with that and passed
by Moses on my way out of Paradise. Moses asked what Allah had ordained for Muslim
prayer. I told him, fifty times a day. Moses said, 'Return to Allah and ask for
less because your followers will not be able to pray that much.' I did so, and
Allah remitted half. I returned to Moses and told him Allah had remitted half.
Moses said, 'It is still too much. Go back and ask for less.' I went back again,
and Allah said, 'They can pray five times a day, but it will be fifty to me."
Attested by agreement.
Page
222
This story makes heaven into a big suk, or market, where Allah and the prophets
bargain for discounts on holiness and devotion. It also implies that Moses knew
better than Allah what was good for the people. Blasphemy!
Al Hadis, Vol. 4, p. Abu
Hurairah reported that the Apostle of Allah said, (Mohammed
speaking of himself ) "By the One in whose hand is the life of Mohammed, certainly
there will come a day upon you in which you will not recognize me, but when you
recognize me, I shall be dearer to you than your family members or you property."
Attested by Muslim.
That
is a classic messianic saying. No Bible prophet ever said such self-serving things,
but Jesus Christ did in..... The
Bible, Matthew 10:37, He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy
of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Only
God the Son dared speak these words. The
Bible, Matthew 19:29, And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake,
shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
You
see, Jesus Christ was either Emmanuel, God with us, the Messiah of Elohim, or
He was a raging impostor. For Mohammed to claim he reverenced Jesus, then claim
that Muslims would follow Mohammed with Messianic zeal, is a gross insult to Jesus
Christ. Mohammed and Christ cannot both be true. One is a bold-faced liar. (FOOTNOTE
28: The Bible, Matthew 1:23)
Islam claims that Mohammed was the Paraclete whom Jesus said would come after
he ascended to heaven. The Paraclete was the Holy spirit for whom the followers
of Jesus waited in the upper room at Pentecost, fifty days after Jesus ascended
to heaven.
After the return of Jesus back to heaven, the followers of Jesus were gathered
in a room in prayer. A rushing wind sent through the room, something like flames
appeared, and people were given the ability to speak in languages of the Middle
East which the speaker did not know. They spoke of Jesus Christ and his Gospel
to those gathered. The miracles done were the work of the Holy Spirit whom Jesus
promised would come after he, Jesus, returned to heaven. Peter
made it clear that the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit of God, was not Mohammed in.....
The
Bible, Acts 2:16-21, But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And
it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit
upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young
men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants
and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall
prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath;
blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and
the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: And it
shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be
saved.
Page 223
For our purposes, we see that fifty days after Jesus' return in glory to heaven,
the words spoken 500 years before, by the prophet Joel, were fulfilled. "This
is that..." is when God will "pour out my Spirit." There were Arabians at that
event, according to verse 11 of Acts 2, but Mohammed was not one of them.
To believe that Mohammed is the Paraclete, the Spirit of God, is to place him
at that event 600 years before he was born, which would imply that he is eternally
present and part of the eternal Godhead. There goes Islamic monotheism! They keep
digging the hole deeper, but one day they will find they cannot climb out.
So, we see that Mohammed saw himself as a wheeler-dealer, who went to heaven to
get a discount on prayer, with the help of his old bargaining assistant, Moses.
Those who claim to follow Mohammed are damned to hell if they don't respect his
person. At his death he appointed no successor like Elijah did with Elisha since
he thought he was one of a kind. He clearly made himself a guru in the truest
sense, and the fruit of his arrogance is the Sunni / Shiite feud which started
shortly after his death and continues to this hour. (FOOTNOTE 29: 229 /
109 / 125; 143 / 157 / 272) THE
FOLLOWERS OF GURU Mohammed Long
ago, a gentleman of San Francisco once declared himself to be King of California.
The people in San Francisco, peculiar from the beginning, thought it would be
a jolly good show to go along with him. So, the people of that city treated him
royally, let him eat free in restaurants, and even gave him a royal burial after
he died. Though the mentally ill King of California believed he was king, his
subjects knew that it was all a joke. What if they had decided to believe him?
Would you not say they were mad?
When a man stands up and claims that he was the first cause of creation, eternal,
the Paraclete, and that his physical person must be venerated if we want to go
to Paradise, we declare him to be either the Messiah, the God of heaven, or a
blithering fool. The followers of Mohammed make it clear that they believe every
one of his claims, indeed, they add to his divine aura with their tales and claims.
No Pope, heretic, or true Apostle of the Bible was held in such high esteem as
was guru Mohammed by his followers.
Page 224 Al
Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 337, Omme Solaim, a wife of Mohammed, reported that the Messenger
of Allah used to take a mid-day nap near her. She used to spread a leather, and
he would sleep on it. He perspired profusely and she used to gather his perspiration
and put it in a perfume box. The Holy Prophet asked, "O Omme Solaim, what is this?"
She said, "We put your perspiration in our perfume box because it is the most
fragrant of the perfumes. We wish its blessing for our children." Mohammed said,
"You are right." Attested by agreement.
What
comment is needed to such guruistic nonsense?
This legend was not just the notion of a silly wife, Al
Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 340, Jaber reported that whenever the Holy Prophet tread on
any path, when someone passed by later, that they could recognize that the prophet
had passed by there because they could smell the fragrance of his perspiration.
Attested by Darimi.
I am reminded of Saint Francis of Asissi. He never took a bath because he thought
it was a sign of spiritual weakness, and for this the Roman Catholic Church exalted
him to sainthood. When men want to guruize a man, nothing about him is less than
sweet and refreshing, even if he smells like an old goat.
In the Bible we have a statement by David showing the divine contrast to Omme
Solaim's tomfoolery. The
Bible, Psalms 56:8, Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle:
are they not in thy book?
In
David's day it was the custom for funeral mourners to wail and cry and produce
real tears, often for hire. They would collect their tears in small bottles and
give them to the survivors of the deceased.
David was in great sorrow, and he asked God to keep a record of his weeping and
hurt spirit. It is a beautiful picture we have of the God of heaven moved by the
crying of his children, and what a contrast with a silly wife collecting the stinking
sweat of a sleeping prophet!
Three Hadith follow with little comment. They show the divine aura Mohammed had
for the early Muslims. Al
Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 339, Jaber-b-Samorah reported, "I saw the prophet on a moon-lit
night. The prophet was wearing a red gown. I looked at the moon and at Mohammed,
and lo, he was more beautiful than the moon." Attested by Tirmizi and Darimi.
Al Hadis,
Vol 4, p. 340, Ibn Abbas reported that the Holy Prophet's front teeth were wide
apart. When he spoke, it seemed that light was coming from between his two front
teeth. Attested by Darimi.
Page 225 Al
Hadis, Vol 4, p. 605, Ayesha reported that when Mohammed died, the men didn't
know if they should remove his clothing to wash him like they did for everyone
else. To prevent them from doing evil, Allah put them to sleep, and each of them
woke up with his shoulder in his chest. A voice came from nowhere saying, "Leave
his clothes on him." So they poured water over his clothes and buried him. Attested
by Baihaqi.
Do you see the divine or guruistic cult that formed around Mohammed? No prophet
of the Bible was ever seen in this light, on the contrary, because of their message
against the people's sins, they were often hated and killed. Samuel Zwemmer tells
us that some of Mohammed's women followers were so zealous for him that they left
their husbands to go to be with him in Medina. (FOOTNOTE 30: 186 / 142 /
656) This
violates the clear teaching of the Apostle Paul in..... The
Bible, I Corinthians 7:13, And the woman which hath an husband that believeth
not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. You
can see why Ahmed Deedat, and his fellow Islamic Mullahs, hate the Apostle Paul.
Their prophet was in gross violation according to God's revelation through Paul.
Philip Hitti
points out that Mohammed clearly had a divine aura with his followers. Will Durant
explains that when Mohammed came to power, Arabia was a dusty heap of desert flotsam
made up of idolatrous tribes. Much like Germany before Hitler, there was no cohesion
in the various cultures or social groups. Like Hitler, Mohammed drew all of the
Arab tribes together, wiped out local identity, and formed a nation.
The Arabs had their first taste of national identity, and they liked it. The next
step, historically, is for such a movement to go out and conquer. Since Mohammed
rallied them around Allah and Islam, they conquered in the name of Allah. Many
Germans, blinded by Hitler's social restoration, approved of the Jews being gassed.
In the same
way, the first Muslims were blinded to the humanity of Mohammed, guruized him,
and launched a blood bath on the world that continues to this hour in Sudan, Israel,
Croatia, and elsewhere. Mohammed became the guru of Allah, the political master
of Arabia, and he could do no wrong. (FOOTNOTE 31: 65 / 129 / 23; 34 / 174
/ 36) The
political power was added to the spiritual zeal at Medina. When Mohammed took
over the political life of Medina he ruled with an iron fist. Infidels were killed
or their property confiscated. Jews, who failed to exalt Mohammed as their next
great prophet, were killed.
The Christian era has its story of shame in the same kind of church / state consortium
under the rule of John Calvin and Zwingli. Calvin went so far as to burn a fellow
Christian at the stake for disagreeing with him on a fine point of doctrine, while
Zwingli drowned many Anabaptists. Mohammed, Calvin, and Zwingli do not remotely
resemble the Carpenter from Nazareth, Jesus Christ. All three men may well meet
in the same flames since we read in..... The
Bible, Revelation 21:8, But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which
is the second death.
Page 226
All three men went to great lengths to justify their murders. They all thought
that salvation could be brought to a man by putting a knife to his throat. (FOOTNOTE
32: 107 / 265 / 79; The Reformers and their Stepchildren, Leonard
Verduin, Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, MI)
Will Muslims still lie and cover for the peculiar character of their guru and
prophet? In his book, Inquiries About Islam, Imam Chirri, of the Islamic
Center of America in Detroit, makes the statement, "No prophet (of the Bible)
except Mohammed has claimed that his book contains the very words of Allah."
This is the kind of blind mindless statement that the Islamic Mullahs make because
they have guruized Mohammed. They don't stop to examine the Bible before jabbering
because the Arab custom, the statement of fact in the face of absolute contradiction,
is in the bedrock of Islamic doctrine. Let Imam Chirri and the Mullahs now hear
the Bible prophets boldly claim to speak the very words of God.
The Bible writers used the prefixed statement, "Thus saith the Lord," claiming
to speak the very words of God, in giving prophecy 434 times. Jeremiah said, "Thus
saith the Lord" no less than 148 times. Zechariah, who was called a prophet by
Mohammed, used it 24 times, and uniquely added Jehovah to the end, "Thus saith
the Lord, Jehovah." In the New Testament, Jesus Christ used the prefixed statement,
"Verily, I say unto you..." a total of 78 times, as recorded by the four Gospel
writers.
There are many claims in the Bible by the writers that attest that they spoke
the words of God. Here are several examples of the Spirit of God taking over men
so that they spoke the very words of God: The
Bible, Hebrews 1:1-2, God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in
time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto
us by his Son, (Jesus
Christ) whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the
worlds;
Both
the Bible prophets and Jesus Christ were speaking the very words of God.
The Bible, II Timothy 3:16,
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
"Inspired" means that God
breathed into these men his words which they then gave, in writing, to the people
of God.
Page 227 The
Bible, Acts 1:16, (Peter is speaking) Men and brethren, this scripture must needs
have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning
Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
"Holy
Ghost" is another old English form of Holy Spirit. Ahmed Deedat, because of his
ignorance of old English, likes to mock at the use of the word "Ghost." Any Muslim
who uses Deedat as a point or reference is a stupid fool. Deedat is the most fluent
liar on behalf of Allah on earth today. The point in the above text is that God's
Spirit took over David, so that he spoke the very words of God. Peter knew that
David was under God's control.
Imam Chirri fails to see that God often uses one prophet to confirm another prophet.
This is because Mohammed cast aside all previous revelation and claimed he was
the only current and accurate source of truth. Imam Chirri must follow the official
Islamic line, so he dare not accept one Bible writer confirming another Bible
writer as God's spokesman. The
Bible, II Peter 1:21, For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Peter
again confirms the Old Testament writers as God's personal word givers.
The Bible, Jeremiah 26:16,
Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets;
This man (Jeremiah) is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name
of the LORD our God.
Everyone
present understood that Jeremiah spoke the words of God.
Here are the claims of the Apostle John in the last book of the Bible, The Revelation..... Bible,
Revelation 1:1-2, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to
shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and
signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of
God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
John is introducing the book as the very words of God given through himself. It
is truly amazing that these Mullahs have no guilty conscience when they make their
grand and bold claims. But, of course, any lie in the interest of Islam is quite
all right as long as one does not get caught. Well, Imam Chirri, I caught you.
You lied, and you need to repent and be cleansed of your wickedness by the precious
Blood of Jesus. (FOOTNOTE 33: 20 / 135 / 1471-72) I trust you, the reader,
can see by now that Mohammed was in the beginning, and still remains, a guru,
or even a god, to Islam.
Page 228
It is also curious that Mohammed never claimed to have read the Old or New Testament
of the Bible. This was mostly because he was totally illiterate, but the God of
the Bible would certainly have been eager for Mohammed to read and believe the
revelation of the Bible prophets. But no, Mohammed had no idea what the Bible
taught, as we have shown in Part Two of this book.
So the defense of Mohammed's alleged revelation, as the only true and unique word
from Allah, is a fine cover story for the Mullahs who know that their prophet
was basically ignorant of all revelation. (FOOTNOTE 34: 110 / 41 / 1594)
THE
WIMP FACTOR What
is a wimp? This is someone who makes great claims, but in the moment of testing
he runs and hides. Gurus are famous for their wimpy, mincing manners, and they
will run from the first sign of danger unless their followers are there to surround
them and fend off the adversary. The classic example is Guru Rajneesh, the fellow
with the fifty-nine Rolls Royces, who had the commune in Oregon. When the civil
authorities came to prosecute the dear guru in the name of tax fraud, he abandoned
his followers to do their aerobic devotions without him, and he ran off to India.
This last
consideration will be unpleasant, but it must be treated to see the vast contrast
between Mohammed and a true man of God. When Mohammed first preached Islam to
the Kouraish in Mecca, they didn't like it very well. They began to plot and scheme
to discredit him, and they threatened his converts with business boycotts and
violence.
Mohammed finally realized that he had to act. All of the screaming of Jihad today
might cause us to expect him to gather his followers and stand in battle like
Joshua of the Bible. Instead, Mohammed sent some of his followers to Ethiopia,
and the rest he sent to Medina in small groups over a period of time.
The reason he chose Medina was that the Jews in that city had been having a hard
time fending off polytheism, and they were initially attracted to Mohammed's monotheism.
They invited him to come to Medina and take charge. He declined to go at first,
choosing to send followers ahead to see how they would be received. He refused
to lead them to Medina because he feared for his safety.
Later, Mohammed and Abu Bakr slipped out of Mecca one night and went to Medina
by a circuitous route to avoid the Kouraish who wanted to kill him. Mohammed "bravely"
instructed his cousin to remain at home to take the heat when the mob arrived.
This event was later known as the "flight" or Hegira, and it begins the calendar
of Islam.
Page 229
Actually, it should be called the "trickle," since the first flight was made by
the first Muslims who arrived in Medina not knowing how they might be received.
Mohammed came wandering into Medina much later when it was clear that Medina was
friendly.
When Mohammed had mustered enough men from Medina to make practical use of the
doctrine of Jihad, he "bravely" sent them into battle ahead of him. Sometimes
he stayed at home and prepared to run away if the battle went badly. On one occasion
he attacked and killed a group of his enemies on a day that local Arabs observed
as a traditional day of truce. The early Muslims always approved of his wimpy
tactics, since Mohammed had convinced them that the prophet was indispensable,
so they kept him under cover and made their own rules.
When Mohammed finally took Mecca, he knew very well that the Kaaba was thoroughly
pagan, yet he curried favor with the Kouraish by retaining Allah, the chief executive
god of the pantheon, in the Kaaba. Allah was not chosen to be the god of Mohammed
and Islam because he WAS god-- Allah was chosen because he was the least controversial.
This is the wimp factor at work. To
see an Arab art representation of the Kaaba and the Grand Mosque, CLICK
HERE. He
kept the existing rituals of pagan worship with the seven trips around the Kaaba,
kissing the stone of Al Uzza that fell from heaven, the run to Mount Arafat, and
stoning the devil. He was too timid to totally cleanse Mecca of all these vestiges
of paganism, something the local people fully expected of him. (FOOTNOTE 35: 169
/ 479-80 / 41-42; 159 / 514-15 / 194)
The fruit of this limp-wristed beginning can be seen in the extreme difference
between the desert Bedhoin and the city Arabs today. The Bedhoin are famous for
their bravery, manliness, and their willingness to stand and fight for their honor,
even when outnumbered. They make poor Muslims unless they can be coaxed into settling
in the city. There they adopt the timid and devious scheming character of "good
Muslims."
Sodomy is not found among the Bedhoin, but it is overlooked in the cities where
it is common for young boys to amuse the libidos of wealthy wimpy merchants. Like
the Mafia at the Roman Catholic altars, Arab bandits stay close to the Muslim
merchants in town to avoid fatal contact with the Bedhoin. The fact that Islam
has such a weak hold on the Bedhoin, 1300 years after it was founded, shows how
it appeals to the docile and depraved side of life rather than to the manly side.
(FOOTNOTE 36: 60 / 659 / 467; 160 / selected / 1762-81)
This picture does not mean that all Muslims today are necessarily like this, but
sadly they do not have a very manly prophet to inspire them.
We must also examine Mohammed's wimpy doctrine of sin. Professor William Thompson
of Harvard has said, "The age-long dogmatic attack of the Muslim against the doctrine
of the Trinity is due not only to his passion for the unity of god and abominations
of the irrational. It is the spear-head of his assault on the divinity of Christ
and the doctrine of the atonement."
Page 230
Why was Mohammed so terrified of the doctrine of the atonement? Simple answer:
Mohammed refused to see himself as totally depraved and a lost sinner with no
hope of salvation. Like all pagan cults, he wanted to participate in his own atonement.
If he were to face up to his sin nature and admit that he could not save himself,
then he would need a Savior. That would be Jesus Christ, and he knew enough about
Christian doctrine to know that. So, like all of the ecclesiastical wimps before
him, he trashed the atoning work of Jesus Christ and chose to set out for heaven
on his own merits, five pillars and all. It takes a real man to say, "I'm a sinner,
and I need a Savior or I am lost." Mohammed was not such a man. (FOOTNOTE 37:
214 / 316-17 / 496)
Let us examine the prophet Mohammed in the light of the ultimate example of passion
and courage. This is part of the Injil, or Gospel, that Mohammed must have heard
on his caravan journeys to Syria when he was working for Khadijah.
Jesus Christ was the very personification of self-sacrifice and manliness, as
we see in the account of the temple soldiers coming to arrest him just before
he was crucified. The
Bible, John 18:1-9, When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his
disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered,
and his disciples. And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus
ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. Judas then, having received a band
of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with
lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should
come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him,
Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And
Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto
them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Then asked he them
again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered, I have
told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these (his followers)
go their way: That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which
thou gavest me have I lost none.
(FOOTNOTE
38: Christian readers see this footnote at the bottom of the page.)
Page 231
Jesus purposely arranged things so that he would face the Jewish council alone,
and his followers would be delivered from death or suffering. This is the exact
opposite of Mohammed who sent his people into battle and danger while he hid nearby
to wait for the results. At one point in the above scene pugnacious Peter whacked
off the ear of one of the soldiers. JIHAD? Not by Jesus' authority, for Jesus
promptly put the ear back and told Peter to put away his sword.
Because He knows how to suffer for the heavenly Father, Jesus is best qualified
to give the last judgment of Mohammed's wimpology. The
Bible, John 10:14, I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of
mine.
Jesus
knew by his divine foreknowledge that he would suffer terribly, but he taught
his disciples that this is normal, not exceptional, for those who love lost souls.
The
Bible, John 10:15, As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I
lay down my life for the sheep.
Again,
we see the understanding in the Godhead is that Jesus' suffering was predestined.
He was satisfied that he had to atone for our sin by such a horrible death.
The Bible, John 15:13, Greater
love hath no man than this, that a man (Jesus
Christ) lay down his life for his friends.
Mohammed
let his friends lay down their lives for him. He sent them ahead to take the first
heat, or he left them behind to answer his enemies. I trust you see my point by
now. The
Bible, I John 3:16, Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his
life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
It
is the heritage of Islam, that they kill all in their path who will not convert
to Islam, but only if they are in the majority.
When they are in the minority, as they are in Toledo, Ohio, well then they are
very tolerant and courteous. They offer guided tours of the great Toledo mosque,
feed you nice treats, and it all seems so genteel. But in Sudan, the Muslim majority,
in 1992, drove 400,000 Africans into the desert to starve unless they would convert.
You ecumenical
white-race descendants of Japheth, who love synergism and religious unity, ought
to go get some in Sudan! With their swords they would quickly make you a member
of First Church of the Immaculate Shish Kabob.
Please don't assume, from our discussion, that every time you meet a Muslim, who
is hospitable and decent to you, that in fact, he would rather stick a knife between
your ribs. But, the point is, he might if the Imam told him to, and if he could
get away with it. Why? Answer: Jihad is always an option to all Muslims. So, the
love of God is not perceived in Islam. Why? Answer: Muslims take life rather than
give their lives for other men. But, if Muslims are not sure they will win the
battle, they hide and send some kid to blow himself up in Israel. Arafat's mongrel
massacre of Muslim boys is classic. You will never catch Arafat blowing himself
up. You will never catch Osama bin Laden flying a plane into a building. This
is the heritage of the wimpy prophet from Mecca.
Page 232 CONCLUSION
TO THE CHAPTER: Sura
112 of Al Koran says, "Say: He is Allah, the One and Only, Allah, the eternal,
absolute; He begetteth not, Nor is he begotten; And there is none like unto him."
That
reminds us of the Old Testament exhortation which Moses gave to Israel in The
Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4, Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: All
cults and false religions start with an established truth and then add a necessary
fiction.
It is necessary for Mohammed to explain his flight from the Truth in the Word
of God. Mohammed's established truth was monotheism, that is, there is one god-
Allah. The necessary fiction was that Mohammed was Allah's one and only prophet
from 625 AD onward. Mohammed taught that his revelations from Allah were the only
correct words of Allah.
By the time he got done with Allah (who was already far removed from the personally
involved Sumerian god, Enlil) Allah had become a distant unknowable notion. This
left Mohammed the true heir to the estate of Islam, and he certainly made the
best of it.
Mohammed was used by Satan to eclipse the Light of the world, The Lord Jesus Christ.
Mohammed said, "Think of Allah's gifts, not of his nature." One day a slave girl
was brought to Mohammed to see if she should be given her freedom. Mohammed asked
her, "Where is Allah?" She replied, "Allah is in heaven." To this Mohammed responded,
"Set her free." If she had said, "God is in my heart," she would have died a slave.
(FOOTNOTE 39: 60 / 248 / 484; 55 / 53 / 1556; 186 / 130-152 / 650-61)
The Apostle Paul says in..... The
Bible, Colossians 1:25-27, Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation
of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery
which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to
his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this
mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
There is no presence of God for a Muslim, and the prophet Mohammed cannot wash
away the Muslim's sins, because the prophet rejected the atonement of Jesus Christ.
The Muslim is totally without hope, so he has only one choice left. He tries to
make Mohammed as nearly into a god as possible. Thus, we see how Mohammed became
the Muslim guru. When a Muslim comes to Christ in faith, he MUST verbally denounce
the prophet Mohammed. If he does not, it must be assumed that he remains unconverted.
Page 233 Conclusion
to Part Four: H.G.
Wells, in his book titled, A Short History of the World, stated that Mohammed
"married a number of wives in his declining years, and his life on the whole was,
by modern standards, unedifying...," and Wells described the Koran this way, "it
is unworthy of its alleged divine authorship." For this very mild observation,
Muslims in India held demonstrations protesting Wells' work.
This guruistic infallibility given to a mere man knows no bounds, so when Wells
tried to deliver the evidence in a gentlemanly way, the faithful reacted with
the same zeal which Mohammed used when he killed his neighbors and raped their
daughters in Islamic "marriage".
I have found no reason to go easy on "the prophet" of Haji Allah. Since the reaction
will be mindless by the majority of Muslim readers and Mullahs, I have given the
whole sordid story so that the few Muslims, who will listen to the truth, may
be liberated. Jesus said in..... The
Bible, John 8:32, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
I hope and pray that some Muslims will abandon the system of oppression invented
by Mohammed and that they will be truly converted by the Gospel of The Lord Jesus
Christ. My joy will not be to see them become disciples of this book. I shall
be perfectly delighted to meet them one day at the throne of God Almighty in the
presence of my Savior and the saints of the ages.
Let us give Samuel Zwemmer the last word in closing out the discussion of Mohammed.
Brother Zwemmer lead many Muslims to Jesus Christ in the Middle East, and his
zeal and compassion were well known. He is the only Missionary I have ever heard
of who spent time living with the Bedhoin giving them the Gospel. Thousands of
Muslims believed the Gospel as he preached it, and many more did not believe.
A great throng of Muslims who loved him joined Christians in the streets of Cairo
to mourn his death. Here then are the words of a man who loved Muslims for the
sake of the glorious name of Jesus Christ: (FOOTNOTE 40: Disclaimer of the
Zwemmer Institute of Pasadena, California, USA. Like many liberal para-church
organizations in the past 40 years, this group has tried to tie its Neo-Evangelical
program to the zeal of a great witness and missionary. In particular, they disgrace
Samuel Zwemmer's memory by their use of contextualization, mixing Islam and Christianity.
Beware.) "A
stream can rise no higher than its source. Islam has no lofty conception of ethics
and of holiness like that of the Christian religion. Mohammed's life soon became
the standard of morality for all Muslims. In the Koran he is human; in tradition
(the Hadith) he becomes sinless and almost divine. To be as good as Mohammed is
the ideal of the Muslim. Christ rises higher as he shows in..... The
Bible, Matthew 5:48, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect." Paul's
command in..... The
Bible, Ephesians 5:1, "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;" is,
to the orthodox Muslim, a double blasphemy. Allah can neither be imitated or followed,
nor can he have children." (FOOTNOTE 41: 229 / 119-120 / 129-130) Page
234
The only thing left to the Muslim is to imitate and follow the guru, Mohammed.
Allah is said to be unknowable. If that is true, then it could very well be that
Allah is the opposite of all of the attributes which Islam has given to Allah,
who would know? The Islamic catechism clearly says that Allah is the opposite
of what you imagine he is. So Allah could very well be Satan himself, and his
Babylonian heritage would support that conclusion. Thus, the Muslim finds it less
frightful to follow guru Mohammed. In his sins, superstitions, and lusts, Mohammed
is like his followers-- this is a comfort to Muslims who seek no higher standard
to live up to.
Dear Muslim friend: If you have by now felt the urge to flee from Islam to the
tender mercies of The Lord Jesus Christ, then I can only encourage you along,
and I suggest you turn your back to Mecca, or face the North where El Elyon or
Jehovah is, and denounce Mohammed for the dirty blasphemer he was. Then go on
to Chapter Twenty Six on the Gospel, Al Injil, of The
Lord Jesus Christ, and confirm your salvation at once. May the true Light of Jesus
Christ shine into your heart soon as you repent and believe. --------------------------------------
(FOOTNOTE
38: Dear Charismatic reader: This is the only time anyone in the Bible ever
fell backward when he met God. You are a fool when you are laying on your backside
before the Lord. All godly people in the Bible fell on their face when they were
before the Lord. Benny "Gehenna" Hinn uses this to distraction, and I have heard
of people coming up demon-possessed after being "slain in the Spirit." In fact,
I have evidence that a truly born-again Christian cannot fall backward in Hinn
fashion.) Back
