The Truth About Islam
1) Purpose of this document
Due a lack of knowledge and poor understanding of Islam by Westerners and considering
the influence of this religion today, we found important to bring light to this matter.
Usually Christians are unaware of the contents of the Qur'an and Hadith, and sometimes the
media omit or distort historical facts about Islam what makes difficult to understand this
religion.
We have searched information in different sources, and the result of this work is now being
published here.
The total or partial reproduction of the contents of this work, is free, provided it is not used

A glossary at the end of this document will help you to understand the meaning of some
terms.
Today Islam is the second religion in number of followers in the world:
Certain terms used herein are of Arab origin and are described in a glossary that can be
found at the end of this document.
2) The Religion
It is a monotheistic religion, which calls for complete acceptance of and submission to the
teachings of Islamic doctrine. Anyone may become a Muslim, regardless of gender, race, or
nationality, simply by reciting a declaration of faith and embracing a lifestyle in accord
with Islamic principles.
Its main objective is to establish a single religion in the world.
There are an estimated 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. They live in every world region
and belong to many different cultures and ethnic groups. The 10 countries with the largest
Muslim populations, in descending order, are Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh,
Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Nigeria, China, and Ethiopia.
The internal consolidation of Islam in Arabia was, strange to say, brought about by its
diffusion abroad.
The holy war against the border countries which Muhammad had already inaugurated, was
the best means for making the new religion popular among the Arabs, for opportunity was
at the same time afforded for gaining rich booty.
The movement was organized by Islam, but the masses were induced to join it by quite
other than religious motives. Nor was this by any means the first occasion on which the
Arabian cauldron had overflowed; once and again in former times emigrant swarms of
Bedouins had settled on the borders of the wilderness.
The duties of Muslims form the five pillars of Islam, which set forth the acts necessary to
demonstrate and reinforce the faith. These are: the recitation of the shahada ("There is no
God but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet"), daily prayer (salat), almsgiving (zakat),
fasting (sawm), and pilgrimage (hajj).
The ninth month of the Muslim calendar is Ramadan, a period of obligatory fasting in
commemoration of "Muhammad's receipt of his god's (Allah) revelation".
All Muslims, at least once in their lifetime, should make the hajj to Mecca to participate in
special rites held there during the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. Muhammad
instituted this requirement, modifying pre-Islamic custom, to emphasize sites associated
with God and Abraham (Ibrahim), founder of monotheism and father of the Arabs through
his son Ismail.
Other pillar of the faith, which all Muslims share, is jihad, or the war to protect Islamic
lands, beliefs, and institutions as well as to conquer and disseminate their faith.
The main source for the precepts and statements that guide Islam, are the Qur'an and the
Hadith.
2.1) The Qur'an
Literally meaning "the recitation", also transliterated Koran, Qur'an, Al-Coram, Coram,
Kuran, and Al-Qur'an, is the central religious text of Islam, which Muslims consider the
verbatim word of their god Allah.
The Qur'an is composed of verses (Ayat) that make up 114 chapters (Surahs) of unequal
length, which are classified either as Meccan or Medinan depending upon the place and
time of their claimed revelation.
Shortly after Muhammad's death the Qur'an was compiled into a single book by order of the
first Caliph Abu Bakr and at the suggestion of his future successor Omar.
Khadija, Muhammad's widow and Caliph Umar's daughter, was entrusted with that
Qur'anic.
It was compiled in the year 632 AD and makes reference to pieces of the Torah (Old
Testament) and also the Gospel (New Testament).
Many facts are completely mixed up and the result is something distorted; if it was really
revealed by Gabriel as they believe, certainly it would not make assertions like those we
find in the Qur’an.
It is like someone talking about something he heard about but is not sure about times and
people involved.
2.2) Hadith
In Islamic terminology, the term hadith refers to reports of statements or actions of
Muhammad, or of his tacit approval or criticism of something said or done in his presence.
Classical hadith specialist Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani says that the intended meaning of hadith in
religious tradition is something attributed to Muhammad but that is not found in the Qur'an.
Hadith are regarded by traditional Islamic schools of jurisprudence as important tools for
understanding the Qur'an and in matters of jurisprudence. Hadith were evaluated and
gathered into large collections during the 8th and 9th centuries. These works are referred to
in matters of Islamic law and history to this day. The two largest denominations of Islam,
Shi'a and Sunni, have different sets of hadith collections.
3) Who was Muhammad?
Muslims believe he was a prophet to whom the Qur'an was verbally revealed through angel
Gabriel (Jibril) from God gradually over a period of approximately 23 years beginning on
22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his
death.
Muhammad was born in the year 570 AD in the city of Mecca in southwestern Saudi
Arabia. According to legend, a host of angels joyously attended his birth. As soon as he
was born he fell to the ground, took a handful of dust and declared, "Allah is great."
He was allegedly born clean, circumcised, and his navel cord already cut. A quick summary
of his life might include these points:
1. He married Khadija, a wealthy widow fifteen years his senior.
2. Around the age of forty, he began experiencing visions from Gabriel in the cave of
Hirah. These visions would later be codified into the Qur'an.
3. He preached monotheism (belief in one god) in Mecca, resulting in notoriety and
persecution.
4. He escaped to Medina in 622 A.D. (the Hijrah). This marks the beginning of the Islamic
calendar. There he established the community of Islam and built the first mosque.
5. From Medina he set out to conquer the Arabian Peninsula. In doing so he and his
followers killed thousands and collected their goods and concubines. As one historian pens:
"This period was marked by many assassinations instigated or sanctioned by Muhammad
and by wholesale slaughter of those opposed to him or whose wealth he coveted for
himself, including that of the Jews.
In retaliation for the “treachery” of the Jews he had the men of a whole tribe, 800 in
number, slaughtered in cold blood and their women and children sold into slavery."
According to the esteemed historian Ibn Kathir, Muhammad established the jizya as a
means of compensating the "converted" Meccans for their loss of revenue following the
total ban of other religions from the Kaaba: "Allah, most high, ordered the believers to
prohibit the disbelievers from entering or coming near the sacred mosque. On that,
Muhammad's home tribe of Quraysh thought that this would reduce their profits from trade.
Therefore, Allah, most high, compensated them and ordered them to fight the people of
the Book (Christians) until embrace Islam or pay the jizya (Ibn Katheir, The Battles of the
Prophet, p. 183-184)".
This practice enabled Muhammad and his successors to fund Islamic military expansion
and the lifestyle of the religious class through extortion from non-believers. In 630, the
prophet of Islam first marched an army into Christian lands in what came to be known as
the "Battle of Tabuk."
In fact, there was no battle because there was no opposing army. The residents were taken
by surprise.
Many were killed, and the survivors were forced to pay protection money to Muhammad.
Only eleven years after Muhammad's death, his companions swept through North Africa,
putting to the sword those who would not submit to Islamic rule.
In 643, Tripoli was conquered and the native Christian Berbers were forced to give their
wives and children to the Muslims as slaves to satisfy the jizya.
This lucrative extortion racket was practiced down through the centuries and was a part of
the brutal Ottoman rule over Christians and all non-Muslims.
4) Who is Jesus according to Qur’an?
Muslims consider Jesus a prophet, lesser than Muhammad, as we see in their Qur’an:
Surah 2
136 - Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and
what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants
and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their
Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to
Him."
Surah 3
52 - But when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, "Who are my
supporters for [the cause of] Allah ?" The disciples said," We are supporters for Allah . We
have believed in Allah and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him].
55 - [Mention] when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself
and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission
to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me
is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ.
59 - Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust;
then He said to him, "Be," and he was.
Surah 4
157 - And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary,
the messenger of Allah ." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another]
was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about
it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill
him, for certain.
163 - Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], as We revealed to Noah and the
prophets after him. And we revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants,
Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the book [of Psalms].
171 - O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah
except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and
His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So
believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you.
Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever
is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.
Surah 5
17 - They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary. Say,
"Then who could prevent Allah at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary,
or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens
and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allah is over all
things competent.
110 - [The Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon
you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit and you spoke to the
people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and
wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like
the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with
My permission; and you healed the blind and the leper with My permission; and when you
brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel
from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved
among them said, "This is not but obvious magic."
Surah 9
30 - The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the
son of Allah ." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those
who disbelieved (before them). May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?
Surah 19
30 - (Jesus) said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and
made me a prophet.
Surah 42
13 - He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We
have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses
and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who
associate others with Allah is that to which you invite them. Allah chooses for Himself
whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him].
Surah 43
59 - Jesus was not but a servant upon whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an
example for the Children of Israel.
81 - Say (O Muhammad), "if the Most Merciful had a son, then I would be the first of (his)
worshippers".
5) Who is Jesus according to The Bible?
Jesus tell us in the Bible that He is the Son of God:
Matthew 11:25-27:
25 At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you
have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
26 Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure”.
27 "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the
Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to
reveal him”.
John 3:16-18:
16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world
through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands
condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
John 14:5-14:
5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the
way?"
6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me.
7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know
him and have seen him."
8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a
long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the
Father'?
10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say
to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe
on the evidence of the miracles themselves.
12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will
do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the
Father.
14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
6) What Qur’an and Hadith say about salvation?
The Qur’an says:
Surah 5:
72 - They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary"
while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord."
Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his
refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.
73 - They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of three." And there is no
god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely
afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
** The Holy Trinity
Surah 40
40 – Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but
whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while is a believer – those will enter
Paradise being given provision therein without account.
The Hadith says:
According to the Hadith of al-Miqdaam ibn Ma’di Karb the Prophet said: “The martyr
(shaheed) has seven blessings from Allaah: he is forgiven from the moment his blood is
first shed; he will be shown his place in Paradise; he will be spared the trial of the grave;
and he will be secure on the Day of the Greatest Terror (the Day of Judgement); there will
be placed on his head a crown of dignity, one ruby of which is better than this world and all
that is in it; he will be married to seventy-two of al-hoor al-‘iyn (virgins); and he will be
permitted to intercede for seventy of his relatives.”
This is the “guaranteed” way to go to heaven: through the jihad (holy war, to give their life
in obedience to Allah).
7) What the Bible says about salvation?
The Bible says:
Luke 2:
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He
was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen
the Lord's Christ.
27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the
child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required,
28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
29 "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace.
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all people,
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel."
Acts 4:
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and elders of the people!
9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are
asked how he was healed,
10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands
before you healed.
11 He is 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.'
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men
by which we must be saved."
Acts 13:
26 "Brothers, children of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this
message of salvation has been sent.
27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him
they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him
executed.
1 Thessalonians 5
9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus
Christ.
2 Peter 3:
14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be
found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
15 Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also
wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.
16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters
contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort,
as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
Revelation 12:
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our
brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
8) What is the Islamic concept of heaven (paradise)?
Although we have suppressed some hadith due to the sensual and disgusting terms, we have
transcript some of them literaly just for the purposed of showing its real contents.
We also apologise for the terms used but they are the ones used by the contemporary
mainstream Islamic scholars.
According to Islam, heaven is a place where there is a huge garden, a river flowing by the
side, and there are fruits and shades from the trees.
There are different levels of heaven in Islam, the highest being Jannat and the lowest is
Khuldi.
According to the Qur’an, Jannat is a sensual Paradise where Muslims are rewarded by
being wed to 72 virgins with "full grown", "swelling" or "pears-shaped" breasts.
Contemporary mainstream Islamic scholars, for example; Gibril Haddad, have commented
on the erotic nature of the Qur'anic Paradise, by saying some men may need full washing
just for hearing certain verses.
Orthodox Muslim theologians such as al-Ghazali (died 1111 CE) and al-Ash'ari (died 935
CE) have all discussed the sensual pleasures found in paradise.
The sensual pleasures between believers and nymphs in paradise are also confirmed by the
two Sahih collections of hadith, namely Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, where we read
that there will be virgins who "will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal
secretions", and whose "sweat will smell like musk":
Their combs will be of gold, and their sweat will smell like musk. The aloes-wood will be
used in their centres. Their wives will be houris. All of them will look alike and will
resemble their father Adam (in statute), sixty cubits tall." - Sahih Bukhari 4:55:544
Sahih Bukhari
“Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created Adam in His own image with His length of sixty
cubits, he who would get into Paradise would get in the form of Adam, his length being
sixty cubits, then the people who followed him continued to diminish in size up to this day.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 74, Number 246)
Note: each cubit corresponds to 45.72 centimeters
"In Paradise there is a pavilion made of a single hollow pearl sixty miles wide, in each
corner of which there are wives who will not see those in the other corners; and the
believers will visit and enjoy them." - Sahih Bukhari 6:60:402
From Zayd ibn Arqam: “When an incredulous Jew or Christian asked the Prophet, upon
him blessings and peace, “Are you claiming that a man will eat and drink in Paradise?” He
replied: “Yes, by the One in Whose hand is my soul, and each of them will be given the
strength of a hundred men in his eating, drinking, coitus, and pleasure.”" - Sifat al-Janna,
al-`Uqayli in the Du`afa’, and Musnad of Abu Bakr al-Bazzar.
9) How is haven portrayed in the Bible?
The Word of God teaches us that heaven is a Holy place, where God himself abides, with
Jesus Christ at His right side.
Revelations 21:22-27:
22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its
temple.
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it
light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor
into it.
25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there.
26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.
27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or
deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation 22:1-5:
1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from
the throne of God and of the Lamb
2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of
life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree
are for the healing of the nations.
3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city,
and his servants will serve him.
4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun,
for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign forever and ever.
Revelation 22:14-15:
14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life
and may go through the gates into the city.
15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the
murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Sex was created allow man and woman to have children, to fill the earth with their
offspring.
Genesis 1:27-28:
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and
female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth
and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living
creature that moves on the ground."
In Heaven there is no procreation because there is no death and the bodies are glorified;
there will be nor male neither female.
There is no sense the marriage or sex in heaven.
Still worse, is to imagine that someone who reach heavens will whoring (committing
adultery, having sex with more than one woman) with 72 pseudo-virgins (once there is no
more virginity after the first sexual relation), in the presence of celestial beings, specially
God Himself and Jesus Christ: this is an abhorrence, an absurd, a folly, an abomination, a
doctrine of demons.
1 Corinthians 15:
50 I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor
does the perishable inherit the imperishable.
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed
52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the
dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with
immortality.
54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with
immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up
in victory".
Matthew 22:23-30:
23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a
question.
24 "Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his
brother must marry the widow and have children for him.
25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he
had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.
27 Finally, the woman died.
28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them
were married to her?"
29 Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of
God.
30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like
the angels in heaven”.
10) What Qur’an And Hadith say about non-Muslims?
Although Muslims strongly deny their belligerent behavior towards other religions, the
truth is that we find in many places of Qur'an and Hadith, exhortations and commands that
contradicts them, as you will see bellow:
10.1) Hadith:
Muhammad said, “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.” (Hadith Al Buhkari
vol. 9:57);
Muhammad said, “I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, none has the
right to be worshipped but Allah” (Al Bukhari vol. 4:196);
No doubt I heard Allah's messenger saying, “During the last days there will appear some
young foolish people, who will say the best words, but their faith will not go beyond their
throats (i.e. they will leave the faith) and will go out from their religion as an arrow goes
out of the game. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for whoever kills them shall have
reward on the Day of Resurrection.” (Bukhari volume 9, no.64);
The statement of Allah’s Apostle (Muhammad), “Whoever changed his Islamic religion,
then kill him.” (Hadith 9:45; 84.2.57.);
Muhammad said: “No Muslim should be killed for killing a Kafir (infidel).”(Hadith vol.
9:50).
10.2) Qur'an (Sahih International):
Surah 2
190 - Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah
does not like transgressors.
191 - And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have
expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram
until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of
the disbelievers.
193 - Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] worship is [acknowledged to be]
for Allah . But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors.
217 - They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein
is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and
[preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are
greater [evil] in the sight of Allah . And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will
continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And
whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are
the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.
244 - And fight in the cause of Allah and know that Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
Surah 4
74 - So let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter.
And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory - We will bestow
upon him a great reward.
77 - Have you not seen those who were told, "Restrain your hands [from fighting] and
establish prayer and give zakah"? But then when fighting was ordained for them, at once a
party of them feared men as they fear Allah or with [even] greater fear. They said, "Our
Lord, why have You decreed upon us fighting? If only You had postponed [it for] us for a
short time." Say, The enjoyment of this world is little, and the Hereafter is better for he who
fears Allah . And injustice will not be done to you, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date
seed]."
89 - They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not
take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah . But if they turn
away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them
any ally or helper.
95 - Not equal are those believers remaining (at home) - other than the disabled - and the
mujahideen, (who strive and fight) in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives.
Allah has preferred the mujahideen through their wealth and their lives over those who
remain (behind), by degrees. And to both Allah has promised the best (reward). But Allah
has preferred the mujahideen over those who remain (behind) with a great reward
Surah 5
51 - O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are
(in fact) allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he
is (one) of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.
Surah 6
157 - Or lest you say, "If only the Scripture had been revealed to us, we would have been
better guided than they." So there has (now) come to you a clear evidence from your Lord
and a guidance and mercy. Then who is more unjust than one who denies the verses of
Allah and turns away from them? We will recompense those who turn away from Our
verses with the worst of punishment for their having turned away.
Surah 8
12 - (Remember) when your Lord inspired to the angels, "I am with you, so strengthen
those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike
(them) upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip."
17 - And you did not kill them, but it was Allah who killed them. And you threw not, (O
Muhammad), when you threw, but it was Allah who threw that He might test the believers
with a good test. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
41 - And know that anything you obtain of war booty - then indeed, for Allah is one fifth of
it and for the Messenger and for (his) near relatives and the orphans, the needy, and the
(stranded) traveler, if you have believed in Allah and in that which We sent down to
Our Servant on the day of criterion - the day when the two armies met. And Allah , over all
things, is competent.
Surah 9
5 - And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find
them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush.
But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them (go) on their way.
Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
14 - Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you
victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people;
29 - Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider
unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the
religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - (fight) until they give the jizyah
willingly while they are humbled.
30 - The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allah "; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the
son of Allah ." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those
who disbelieved (before them). May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded?
31 - They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah , and (also) the
Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there
is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.
34 - O you who have believed, indeed many of the scholars and the monks devour the
wealth of people unjustly and avert (them) from the way of Allah . And those who hoard
gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah - give them tidings of a painful
punishment.
35 - The Day when it will be heated in the fire of Hell and seared therewith will be their
foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, (it will be said), "This is what you hoarded for
yourselves, so taste what you used to hoard.
36 - Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve (lunar) months in the register of
Allah (from) the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred. That is
the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them. And fight against the
disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively. And know that Allah is with
the righteous (who fear Him).
73 - O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them.
And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.
123 - O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them
find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous.
Surah 15
66 - And We conveyed to him (the decree) of that matter: that those (sinners) would be
eliminated by early morning.
Surah 22
19 - These are two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord. But those who
disbelieved will have cut out for them garments of fire. Poured upon their heads will be
scalding water.
20 - By which is melted that within their bellies and (their) skins.
21 - And for (striking) them are maces of iron.
22 - Every time they want to get out of Hellfire from anguish, they will be returned to it,
and (it will be said), "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire!"
Surah 47
4 - So when you meet those who disbelieve (in battle), strike (their) necks until, when you
have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either (confer) favor
afterwards or ransom (them) until the war lays down its burdens. That (is the command).
And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them (Himself), but (He
ordered armed struggle) to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed
in the cause of Allah - never will He waste their deeds.
Surah 59
2 - It is He Who got out the Unbelievers among the People of the Book [Jews] from their
homes at the first gathering of the forces. Little did you think that they would get out: and
they thought that their fortresses would defend them from Allah! But the wrath of Allah
came to them from quarters from which they had little expected it, and cast terror into their
hearts, so that they destroyed their own dwellings by their own hands and the hands of the
Believers.
Surah 66
9 - O Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal sternly with them.
Hell shall be their home, evil their fate.
Surah 69
43 - [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
44 - And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings,
45 - We would have seized him by the right hand;
46 - Then We would have cut from him the aorta.
47 - And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.
48 - And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.
Surah 72
15 - The disbelievers are the firewood of hell.
11) The Muslim behavior:
Considering all the above, it is impossible to accept the existence of two groups of
Muslims: one fundamentalist (extremist, radical) and another “light”, simply because they
cannot deny what is written and commanded them to do or to be in their sacred books.
They practice what they are taught since childhood.
Also we should ask ourselves why so many Muslims give their own lives on behalf of their
religion.
Well, according to their faith, there are two ways for a Muslim to be saved: first through
good deeds and follow the so called pillars of their faith (see item 2).
Allah put on a scale the good deeds and the bad deeds during their lifetime. If the number
of good deeds surpasses the bad deeds, then they go to heaven otherwise they go to hell.
The second and guaranteed way to go to heaven is through the jihad (holy war, to give their
life in obedience to Allah).
According to the Hadith of al-Miqdaam ibn Ma’di Karb the Prophet said: “The martyr
(shaheed) has seven blessings from Allaah: he is forgiven from the moment his blood is
first shed; he will be shown his place in Paradise; he will be spared the trial of the grave;
and he will be secure on the Day of the Greatest Terror (the Day of Judgement); there will
be placed on his head a crown of dignity, one ruby of which is better than this world and all
that is in it; he will be married to seventy-two of al-hoor al-‘iyn (virgins); and he will be
permitted to intercede for seventy of his relatives.”
12) The Credibility of Qur’an:
When Muhammad and his community came under severe persecution, eighty-three of his
followers who had no protection emigrated from Mecca to Ethiopia, taking refuge in the
ancient Christian country, Abyssinia.
Under increasing boycotts and pressure, Muhammad went through a time of weakness and
compromised with the Meccan pagans by acknowledging the existence of three pagan
goddesses alongside Allah: Lat, Uzza, and Manat.
The Arabian goddesses are mentioned in Qur’an:
Sura an-Najm (Star) 53:
1 - By the star when it descends,
2 - Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred,
3 - Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination.
4 - It is not but a revelation revealed,
5 - Taught to him by one intense in strength 6 - One of soundness. And he rose to [his] true form
7 - While he was in the higher [part of the] horizon.
8 - Then he approached and descended
9 - And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer.
10 - And he revealed to His Servant what he revealed.
11 - The heart did not lie [about] what it saw.
12 - So will you dispute with him over what he saw?
13 - And he certainly saw him in another descent
14 - At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary 15 - Near it is the Garden of Refuge 16 - When there covered the Lote Tree that which covered [it].
17 - The sight [of the Prophet] did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its limit].
18 - He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.
19 - So have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza?
20 - And Manat, the third - the other one?
21 - Is the male for you and for Him the female?
22 - That, then, is an unjust division.
23 - They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for
which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what
[their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance.
When the inhabitants of Mecca heard Muhammad's confess the importance of the ancient
goddesses inside the Ka'aba, they immediately revoked their ban on him.
Those who had immigrated to Abyssinia (Ethiopia) started to return home after hearing
Muhammad's confession and his acceptance in Mecca. But when they arrived, they were
shocked to hear that Muhammad had retracted his confession and admitted that he had
fallen prey to the whispering of Satan.
Thus, today Islam considers Sura an-Najm (Star) 53:19-23 are related to the time when
Muhammad spoke the satanic verses.
In Sura Hajj (Pilgrimage) 22:52-53, Muhammad confessed his mistake, alleging that all
prophets were tempted by Satan who inspire them with demonic verses, as if they were
actually revealed by God. But later on Allah abrogated those Satanic Verses with new
revelations and instructs his prophets with new verses:
Sura Hajj (Pilgrimage) 22:
52 - And We did not send before you any messenger or prophet except that when he spoke
[or recited], Satan threw into it [some misunderstanding].
But Allah abolishes that which Satan throws in; then Allah makes precise His verses. And
Allah is Knowing and Wise.
53 - [That is] so He may make what Satan throws in a trial for those within whose hearts is
disease and those hard of heart. And indeed, the wrongdoers are in extreme dissension.
The Qur'an clearly states that Muhammad spoke in the name of God and that he said things
that God had not commanded him! Next, he charges that all the prophets of God voiced
Satanic statements! Muhammad spoke in the name of Allah and then admitted that he had
really spoken the words of Satan..

The true, vital issue about the satanic verses is:
If Muhammad were unable to distinguish Satan's voice from God's voice, then could there
be verses in the Qur'an that Muhammad assumed were from God but were really from
Satan?
Maybe the entire Qur'an is satanic in origin, in spite of Muhammad's conviction that it was
from Allah.
After a hard work of translating and compiling data, we believe we have managed to gather
enough information to help the readers of this article draw their conclusions about Islam.
We would like to ask you to pray for those who have been persecuted worldwide by the
followers of this Satanic religion.
And don't forget those who ignoring the truth, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and are therefore
in great numbers, being converted to Islam.
May God bless you,
Finding Peace With God.

Fitnah = persecution, testing and trial.
Hajj = pilgrimage;
His Messenger = Muhammad;
Jihad = holy war (which includes terrorist attacks, kidnapping and murders);
Jizya = is a tax established by Muhammad which is to be paid by people of other religions

in the world.
It is 15.24 meters high, and is surrounded by walls of 10.67 meters and 12.19 meters high.
It is permanently covered with a dark cloth with gold embroidery that is regularly replaced.
On its exterior, nestled in a silver frame, is the Hajar el Aswad ("Black Stone"), a dark
stone, about 50 centimeters in diameter, which is one of the most sacred relics of Islam. She
is probably the remnant of a meteorite.
In her book, “Islam: A Short History”, Karen Armstrong asserts that the Kaaba was
dedicated to Hubal, a Nabatean deity, and contained 360 idols that either represented the
days of the year or were effigies of the Arabian pantheon. Once a year, tribes from all
around the Arabian peninsula, would converge on Mecca.
According to a saying attributed to Muhammad, the Black Stone had "descended from
Paradise whiter than milk but the sins of the sons of Adam had made it black".
Read Revelation 12 and Isaiah 14 (some correlation, some symbolism or simple
coincidence?)
Revelation 12:
7 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the
dragon and his angels fought back.
8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.
9 The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who
leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our
brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they
did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the
sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that
his time is short."
Isaiah 14:
12 How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast
down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of
God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred
mountain.
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."
