ROLLING THE NIGHT OVER THE DAY

 

ROLLING THE NIGHT OVER THE DAY

day_night
This post is also available in: Arabic, Bosnian, Turkish
The Arabic word for “roll” is “yukevviru.” The word is used to depict the act of wrapping a turban around someone’s head. This word was also used in the sense of overlapping of the night and day and vice versa. The reason for the day’s turning into night and the night’s turning into day is due to the spheroid form of the earth. In this verse also we observe implied the sphericity of the world.
He created the heavens and the earth truthfully. He rolls the night over the day, and rolls the day over the night… (39:5)

VIEW OF THE WORLD FROM SPACE ABOVE

During the Prophet’s lifetime it was impossible to scientifically determine the correct view. The scientific demonstration of the statements of the Quran was only possible after the lapse of a millennium. Why were these scientific explanations in the Quran-beyond the comprehension of the Prophet’s contemporaries, contradicting the hypotheses prevalent at the time and likely to cause harm to their messenger, certainly being of no benefit to him? We see that the Quran’s objective is to tell the truth at all costs. The fact that these phenomena could be explained thanks to the advance of science one thousand years later testifies to the universal address of the Quran and its character; it addresses not only its own time, but also the entirety of humanity until the end of the world.
When the astronomers went to space, they bore witness to this statement of the Quran and took photographs. The face of the world facing the sun was day, while the other side was night. The rotation of the world around its own axis made the night and day alternate, and in some parts the transition from day to night took place simultaneously.
The phenomena related to the roundness of the world and the succession of days and nights are the sine qua non conditions of our life on earth. Had our world not been of a spherical shape, had night and day not succeeded each other thanks to its rotation, life on the face of the earth exposed to heat would be extinct and in the portion left in the shade vegetation would not thrive. God’s omniscience, omnipotence and art, His perfect design of everything, and the miraculous character of the Book are better understood as we contemplate them.

Proof For Allah's Existance From The Noble Quran
The Perfect Speech of Allah revealed to All mankind:

Image
[ We will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their ownselves, until it
becomes manifest to them that this {the Quraan} is the truth. Is it not sufficient
in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all things?] Soorat Fussilat
{41:53}

[ And say {to these polytheists and pagans etc.}: "All the praises and thanks be to
Allaah. He will show you His aayaat {signs, in yourselves, and in the universe or
punishments, etc.}, and you shall recognise them. And your Lord is not unaware
of what you do."] Soorat An Naml {27:93}

[ And He shows you His Signs and Proofs {of His Oneness in all the above
mentioned things}. Which, then of the Signs and Proofs of Allaah do you deny?]
Soorat Ghaafir {40:81}
Image
[ Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which sail through the sea with that which is of use to mankind, and the water which Allaah sends down from the sky and makes the earth alive therewith after its death, and the moving {living} creatures of all kinds that He has scattered therein, and in the veering of winds and clouds which are held between the sky and the earth, are indeed aayaat {proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} for people of understanding.] Soorat Al Baqarah{2:164}

[ Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding.] Soorat Aal 'Imraan {3:190}
Image

[ It is He Who sends down water from the sky, and with it We bring forth vegetation of all kinds, and out of it We bring forth green stalks, from which We bring forth thick clustered grain. And out of the date-palm and its spathe come forth clusters of dates hanging low and near, and gardens of grapes, olives and pomegranates, each similar {in kind} yet different {in variety and taste}. Look at their fruits when they begin to bear, and the ripeness thereof. Verily! In these things there are signs for people who believe.] Soorat Al An'aam {6:99}

[ He it is Who has appointed for you the night that you may rest therein, and the
day to make things visible {to you}. Verily, in this are aayaat {proofs, evidences,
lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} for a people who listen {i.e. those who think
deeply}.] Soorat Younus {10:67}

Image
[ And it is He Who spread out the earth, and placed therein firm mountains and rivers and of every kind of fruits He made Zawjain Ithnain {two in pairs - may mean two kinds or it may mean: of two sorts, e.g. black and white, sweet and sour, small and big, etc.} He brings the night as a cover over the day. Verily, in these things, there are aayaat {proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} or people who reflect.] Soorat Ar Ra'd {13:3}


[ And in the earth are neighbouring tracts, and gardens of vines, and green crops
{fields etc.}, and date-palms, growing out two or three from a single stem root, or
otherwise {one stem root for every palm}, watered with the same water, yet some
of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Verily, in these things, there
are aayaat {proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} for the people who
understand.] Soorat Ar Ra'd {13:4}


[ Allaah is He Who has created the heavens and the earth and sends down water
from the sky, and thereby brought forth fruits as provision for you; and He has
made the ships to be of service to you, that they may sail through the sea by His
Command; and He has made rivers {also} to be of service to you.] Soorat
Ibraheem {14:32}

[ And He has made the sun and the moon, both constantly pursuing their
courses, to be of service to you; and He has made the night and the day, to be of
service to you.] Soorat Ibraheem {14:33}

[ He has created the heavens and the earth with truth. High be He Exalted above
all they associate as partners with Him. He has created man from Nutfah {mixed
drops of male and female sexual discharges} then behold, this same {man}
becomes an open opponent.] Soorat An Nahl {16:3-4}

[ And the cattle, He has created them for you; in them there is warmth {warm
clothing}, and numerous benefits, and of them you eat. And wherein is beauty for
you, when you bring them home in the evening, and as you lead them forth to
pasture in the morning.] Soorat An Nahl {16:5-6}

[ And they carry your loads to a land that you could not reach except with great
trouble to yourselves. Truly, your Lord is full of Kindness, Most Merciful. And
{He has created} horses, mules and donkeys, for you to ride and as an
adornment. And He creates {other} things of which you have no knowledge.]
Soorat An Nahl {16:7-8}


[ And upon Allaah is the responsibility to explain the Straight Path {i.e. Islamic
Monotheism for mankind i.e. to show them legal and illegal, good and evil things,
etc. so, whosoever accepts the guidance, it will be for his own benefit and
whosoever goes astray, it will be for his own destruction}, but there are ways that
turn aside {such as Paganism, Judaism, Christianity, etc.}. And had He willed,
He would have guided you all {mankind}.] Soorat An Nahl {16:9}
Image [ He it is Who sends down water from the sky; from it you drink and from it {grows} the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture; With it He causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date-palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit. Verily! In this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for people who give thought.] Soorat An Nahl {16:10-11}

qualities from botanical life and from zoological life}. Verily! In this is a sign for
people who remember.] Soorat An Nahl {16:13}

tender meat {i.e. fish}, and that you bring forth out of it ornaments to wear. And
you see the ships ploughing through it, that you may seek {thus} of His Bounty
{by transporting the goods from place to place} and that you may be grateful.]
Soorat An Nahl {16:14}
Image
[ And He has affixed into the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you, and rivers and roads, that you may guide yourselves. And landmarks {signposts, etc. during the day} and by the stars {during the night}, they {mankind} guide themselves.] Soorat An Nahl {16:15-16}

[Is then He, Who creates as one who creates not? Will you not then remember?
And if you would count the graces of Allaah, never could you be able to count
them. Truly! Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.] Soorat An Nahl {16:17-18}

[ And Allaah has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you
know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that you might give
thanks {to Allaah}.] Soorat An Nahl {16:78}

[ Do they not see the birds held {flying} in the midst of the sky? None holds them
but Allaah {none gave them the ability to fly but Allaah}. Verily, in this are clear
proofs and signs for people who believe.] Soorat An Nahl {16:79}

[ Who has made earth for you like a bed {spread out}; and has opened roads
{ways and paths etc.} for you therein; and has sent down water from the sky.
And We have brought forth with it various kinds of vegetation. Eat and pasture
your cattle, {therein}; verily, in this are proofs and signs for men of
understanding.] Soorat Ta Ha {20:53-54}


[ Thereof {the earth} We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from
it We shall bring you out once again.] Soorat Ta Ha {20:55}

And He revives the earth after its death. And thus shall ou be brought out
{resurrected}.] Soorat Ar Ruum {30:19}

[Hawwa {Eve} from Adam's rib, and then his offspring from the semen, and], -
behold you are human beings scattered!] Soorat Ar Ruum {30:20}

yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you
affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.]

difference of your languages and colours. Verily, in that are indeed signs for men

seeking of His Bounty. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who listen.]

perished}, and this is easier for Him. His is the highest description {i.e. none has
the right to be worshipped but He, and there is nothing comparable unto Him} in
the heavens and in the earth. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.] Soorat Ar
Ruum {30:27}

show you of His Signs? Verily, in this are signs for every patient, grateful
{person}.] Soorat Luqman {31:31}
Image[ Is it not a guidance for them, how many generations We have destroyed before
them in whose dwellings they do walk about? Verily, therein indeed are signs.
Would they not then listen? ] Soorat As Sajdah {32:26}

any vegetation, and therewith bring forth crops providing food for their cattle
and themselves? Will they not then see?] Soorat As Sajdah {32:27}

death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a
people who think deeply.] Soorat Az Zumar {39:42}

causes the wind to cease, then they would become motionless on the back {of the
sea}. Verily, in this are signs for everyone patient and grateful.]

[ And in the alternation of night and day, and the provision {rain} that Allaah
sends down from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in
the turning about of the winds {i.e. sometimes towards the East or North, and
sometimes towards the south or west etc., sometimes bringing glad tidings of rain
etc., and sometimes bringing the torment}, are signs for a people who
understand.] Soorat Al Jaathiya {45:5}

[ These are the aayaat {proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} of
Allaah, which We recite to you with truth. Then in which speech after Allaah

{45:10}

is all as a favour and kindness from Him. Verily, in it are signs for a people who
think deeply.] Soorat Al Jaathiya {45:13}

[ And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the
moon. Prostrate not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate to Allaah Who
created them, if you {really} worship Him.] Soorat Fussilat {41:37}

[ And among His Signs {in this}, that you see the earth barren, but when We
send down water to it, it is stirred to life and growth {of vegetations}. Verily, He
Who gives it life, surely, {He} is Able to give life to the dead. Indeed! He is Able
to do all things.] Soorat Fussilat {41:39}

[ And among His aayaat {proofs, evidences, signs, etc.} is the creation of the
heavens and the earth, and whatever moving {living} creatures He has dispersed
in them both. And He is All-Potent over their assembling {i.e. resurrecting them
on the Day of Resurrection after their death, and dispersion of their bodies}
whenever He will.] Soorat Ash Shura {42:29}

[ The leaders of those who were arrogant among his people said to those who
were counted weak - to such of them as believed: "Know you that Saaleh is one
sent from his Lord." They said: "We indeed believe in that with which he has
been sent."] Soorat Al A'raaf {7:75}

[ Say {to the disbelievers}: "Tell me, if Allaah took away your hearing and your
sight, and sealed up your hearts, who is there - an ilah {God} other than Allaah
who could restore them to you?" See how variously We explain the aayaat
{proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.}, yet they turn aside.] Soorat Al
An'aam {6:46}

[ It is He Who has set the stars for you, so that you may guide your course with
their help through the darkness of the land and the sea. We have {indeed}
explained in detail Our aayaat {proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.}
for people who know.] Soorat Al An'aam {6:97}

[ It is He Who made the sun a shining thing and the moon as a light and
measured out its {their} stages, that you might know the number of years and the
reckoning. Allaah did not create this but in truth. He explains the aayaat {proofs,
evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} in detail for people who have
knowledge.] Soorat Younus {10:5}

[ Verily the likeness of {this} worldly life is as the water which We send down
from the sky, so by it arises the intermingled produce of the earth of which men
and cattle eat until when the earth is clad with its adornments and is beautified,
and its people think that they have all the powers of disposal over it, Our
Command reaches it by night or by day and We make it like a clean-mown
harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday! Thus do We explain the aayaat
{proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} in detail for the people who
reflect.] Soorat Younus {10:24}

[ Say: "Behold all that is in the heavens and the earth," but neither
aayaat{proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelation, etc.} nor warners benefit
those who believe not.] Soorat Younus {10:101}

plain to you, and Allaah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.] Soorat An Nuur {24:18}

[ And to Allaah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And
Allaah is Ever Encompassing all things.] Soorat An Nisaa {4:126}

etc.} in detail, so that they may turn {unto the truth}.] Soorat Al A'raaf {7:174}

الاستعمار يعود بحلة القانون الدولي
الكاتب مونبيوت: جرائم بوش (يمين) وبلير أكثر خطورة من جرائم رئيس ليبيريا السابق تشارلز تيلور
(رويترز-أرشيف)
اعتبر الكاتب البريطاني جورج مونبيوت أن الاستعمار لم ينته بعد ولكنه جاء بحلة جديدة تسمى القانون الدولي الذي بموجبه تفرض القوى القوية والغنية نفوذها على القوى الضعيفة.
ويسرد الكاتب في مقال نشرته صحيفة ذي غارديان جملة من الأدلة التي يرى أنها تؤكد أن الإمبريالية لم تنته، ولكنها جاءت بأشكال جديدة.
ومن هذه الأدلة الحرب التي شنها الرئيس الأميركي السابق جورج بوش ورئيس الوزراء البريطاني السابق توني بلير في بلاد ما بين النهرين بحثا عن السلطة والنفط ومناطق النفوذ فضلا عن استمرار الحرب الاستعمارية في أفغانستان، وحصر مهام حفظ الأمن الدولي في أيدي القوى الكبرى، والعدالة من طرف واحد بموجب القانون الدولي.
فبينما يقال إن إدانة الرئيس الليبيري السابق تشارلز تايلور بارتكاب جرائم حرب بعثت برسالة جلية إلى القادة الحاليين مفادها أن المنصب الكبير لا يمنح الحصانة، فإن تلك الإدانة تبعث برسالتين.
الأولى: إذا كنت تدير دولة صغيرة وضعيفة فإنك ستخضع للقانون الدولي بكامل قوته، والثانية: إذا كنت تدير دولة قوية، فلا تخشى لومة لائم.
وفي حين أن الإدانة يجب أن تلقى ترحيبا من قبل كل من يبالي بحقوق الإنسان، فإنها تذكر بأنه لم يواجه أحد تبعات قانونية لشن حرب غير قانونية ضد العراق.
ويقول مونبيوت إن التهم التي يبنغي التحقيق بشأنها مع بوش وبلير أكثر خطورة من التهم التي أدين بسببها تايلور، مشيرا إلى أن محكمة الجنايات الدولية -رغم أنها تأسست قبل عشرة أعوام، ورغم أن جريمة العدوان معترف بها وفق القانون الدولي منذ 1945- لا تزال تفتقر إلى النظام القضائي بشأن "أكثر الجرائم خطورة".
ويعزو ذلك إلى أن القوى الكبرى -ولأسباب واضحة- تماطل في ذلك، فلا المملكة المتحدة ولا الولايات المتحدة ولا دول غربية أخرى دمجت جريمة العدوان في قوانينها التشريعية.
فالقانون الدولي -والكلام للكاتب- لا يزال مشروعا إمبرياليا يعاقب بموجبه على الجرائم التي ترتكبها الدول التابعة فحسب.
القانون الدولي لا يزال مشروعا إمبرياليا يعاقب بموجبه على الجرائم التي ترتكبها الدول التابعة فحسب
صندوق النقد الدولي
وينطبق ذلك على قوى كونية أخرى، منها صندوق النقد الدولي الذي لا يزال تحت سيطرة الولايات المتحدة والقوى الاستعمارية السابقة.
فجميع المسائل الدستورية تتطلب التصويت بنسبة 85%، في حين أن الولايات المتحدة تحتفظ بنسبة 16.7% لضمان حق النقض (الفيتو) على إجراء الإصلاحات.
وبينما لا تزال بلجيكا تحتفظ بثمانية أضعاف أصوات بنغلاديش، تحظى إيطاليا بنصيب أكبر من الهند، وتملك المملكة المتحدة وفرنسا نصيبا أكبر من 49 دولة أفريقية.
أما المدير الإداري للمؤسسة الدولية فلا يزال حسب التقاليد أوروبيا ونائبه أميركيا. ولهذا، يبقى صندوق النقد الدولي وسيلة الأسواق المالية الغربية لبسط سيطرتها على باقي أرجاء العالم.
ويشير الكاتب إلى أن الاستعمار لم ينته حتى تمكنت القوى الاستعمارية السابقة والإمبراطوريات المالية من إنشاء وسائل أخرى للاحتفاظ بالهيمنة، فمنها ما لم يتغير مثل صندوق النقد والبنك الدوليين، ومنها ما جاء ردا على تحديات جديدة للهيمنة العالمية مثل برنامج تسليم المشتبه فيهم الاستثنائي.
فكما يتضح من خطفها لعبد الحكيم بلحاج وزوجته الليبيين -عقب إبرام عقود نفطية في ليبيا عام 2004- فإن أجهزة المخابرات البريطانية رأت في نفسها قوة بوليسية دولية تتدخل في شؤون الدول الأخرى.
وقد بقي برنامج التسليم بعيدا عن أنظار العامة، شأنه في ذلك شأن باقي الجرائم الاستعمارية التي ارتكبتها بريطانيا في كينيا وأماكن أخرى.

بلال صابر - الدوحة
قد لا يكون القانون الدولي نموذجياً بعد، ولكن أليس انعدام القانون أسوأ؟ إن أهم مبررات القوانين هو أنها تحمي الطرف الأضعف، فالقوي لا يحتج للقوانين في ظلمه للضعفاء. ثم إن استخدام القوانين كأداة للظلم يحدث في المراحل الانتقالية، حيث أصبحت هناك عدة أطراف على قدر من القوة، واصبح من الصعب الاستفراد بالضعفاء. فلنشعل شمعة أخرى بدلاً من لعن الظلام، حتى يستكمل القانون الدولي تطوره، ويمكن لنا استخدامه للحصول على حقوقنا... 15

Islam & the Second Coming

From: http://www.lightforthelastdays.co.uk/view_page.asp?page_id=261&menu_id=228

Islam & the Second Coming

Our readers may be surprised to learn that the second coming of Jesus is something Muslims too believe in. Although not explicitly mentioned in the Koran, there is a Hadith which gives a detailed series of events connected with the second coming. (A Hadith is a saying or tradition, not part of the Koran but given importance in Islamic thinking). It speaks of Jesus going to Jerusalem with a lance in his hand with which he will kill the Antichrist. Then he will kill the pigs, break the cross, demolish oratories and churches and kill Christians except those who believe in him (i.e. in the Muslim sense as a prophet not as the Son of God). There will be such security in his time that lions will lie down with camels, leopards with cattle and wolves with sheep. Youths and boys will play with snakes without harming them or being harmed by them. Then he will tarry on the earth for as long as God wills - perhaps for 40 years. Then he will die and the Muslims will pray over him and bury him.
We see here elements of the biblical narrative (the destruction of Antichrist at the second coming of Jesus in Revelation 19 and the millennial rule of Messiah which will follow). The Bible account is changed and given a different meaning to fit in with Islamic thinking. This is consistent with the whole message of the Koran which is largely made up of altered stories of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and other biblical figures. The Muslims claim that the difference between their account and ours is that we have changed the books (i.e. our Bible is not the original message but the Koran is). However in the Koran, which was written about 600 years after the New Testament, Mohammed actually recommends Muslims to observe the Taurat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospel) (Sura 5.6-8). He did not say anything about the books being changed, a Muslim doctrine which was introduced much later when contact with Christians showed them that their version of the same stories differed from the original accounts found in the Bible.
It is not only the accounts which have been changed, but the spirit behind them. A proper understanding of the biblical prophecies should inspire us to a concern for unbelievers and a desire to see them saved from the wrath to come by believing the Gospel of peace and reconciliation with God through the Messiah Jesus. Islamic groups looking for the end of days are motivated in the opposite direction. One such group, Hizb ut Tahrir, has been active in British universities calling on British Muslims to fight Jews and kill them in order to hasten the end of days. They also believe that when Jesus comes again, he will kill all the Christians (except those who believe him to be merely Gods servant or messenger rather than the Son of God). There is a Hadith which says that when Jesus returns, even the rocks and trees will say, O Muslim, here is an unbeliever. Kill him! Hence Allah will cause all unbelievers to perish.
Less extreme Muslim groups are seeing the present spiritual crisis in the West as an opportunity for Islam. A Muslim family magazine says, Western society is ripe for receiving Islam, as Islam has the answer for many of societys ills. A BBC Everyman programme featured the way Islam is being promoted, with such activities as open air preaching in Hyde Park, lectures in universities and the use of pop culture to put across the message. It is clear that many of the techniques of evangelical Christians are being used by Muslims to promote their faith.
At the same time there is a growing fear amongst moderate Muslims about the influence of extremist groups. According to an article in The Guardian (7/2/94) Liberal Muslims say a climate of fear is growing in Britains estimated 1000 mosques. Imams and officials say they feel besieged. Young radicals are openly campaigning for a more fundamentalist approach to Islam. Worshippers at Londons Regents Park Mosque have to run the gauntlet of dozens of young men raising money for holy wars against foreign governments (e.g. Israel, Egypt, Algeria). The Young Muslims organisation, based in Nottingham organises charter trips for young people to centres of Islamic Revolution, Sudan and Iran, and holiday camps with lectures from Islamic militants and political leaders. A Huddersfield local paper has an article about a magazine produced by the local Muslim youth organisation which declares a jihad or holy war on the Church of England and Jews as sworn enemies of Islam. It encourages people to kill Salman Rushdie and refers to the Queen as a prostitute.
What is the prophetic significance of the rise of Islam?The rise of Islam clearly has a significance for the end times. The whole religion, coming out of a form of Christianity, but changing the heart of the message, fits in with Johns description of the many antichrists who will arise:
They went out from us but they were not of us; for if they had been of us they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us... Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denies the Father and the Son. 1 John 2.19-22
Wherever Islam arises in its militant form, blood flows. Across the Middle East and Africa the Islamic Revolution now being exported to young Muslims in Britain, has brought untold suffering to millions of people. One of the worst examples is Sudan, where the UN has submitted a report on a catalogue of extreme human rights abuses committed by the Islamic government ™ torture, death by crucifixion and stoning, forced conversions to Islam and slavery. The Islamic government was furious at the UNs denunciation of its human rights, claiming that it is running the country according to Islamic law (Shariah) and that criticisms of this are a flagrant blasphemy and a deliberate insult to the Muslim religion. Islamic fundamentalism sweeping across the world is creating the conditions of nation rising against nation, of persecution of Christians and brutal dictatorship described in prophecies of the end times (Matthew 24, Revelation 13).
Many biblical commentators have connected the final antichrist system with a revival of the Roman Empire (see following article). It is interesting that the original Roman Empire was divided into eastern and western sections. Today the western half is dominated by Roman Catholicism and the eastern half by Islam. Both are religions which came out of New Testament Christianity, but actually changed the heart of the Gospel message and became persecutors of those who are true to the Gospel. Both are in conflict, but are in their own way contributing to the final antichrist system, which will ultimately destroy both of them.
So how should we respond to the rise of Islam?
Despite all of this we should respond to Muslims not with fear and hostility, but with love, as the Muslims are also those for whom the Messiah Jesus died and rose again. We should have confidence in the greater power that is available to us in the Lord Jesus, knowing that the reason our society is in such a mess is that we have rejected the Gospel message he came to bring us. Islam with its terrible record of human rights abuses and violent conflicts has nothing to offer us as the solution to our troubles. We have eternal life and forgiveness to offer to the individual Muslims. The Lord assures us that greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
With this in mind it is moving to read of an incident in Africa in which some Pentecostal Christians built a church in a predominantly Muslim area. One morning the Christians came along and found that their church had been burnt down by unknown people. They prayed on the spot for those who had committed the act. Two weeks later a Muslim came to the pastor and confessed that he and two others had burnt down the church. One of them had fallen sick and died and the other had disappeared, and he wanted to be prayed for because he feared that something bad was going to happen to him. The man was forgiven.

1- We Muslims have to respect other people beliefs. We demonstrate to them what we think and ultimately faith is man's own choice.

2- The prophecies of the end of time both in Muslim and Christians texts are not clear like spring water. Many had interpretation and even fabrication.

3- Muslims look at what is right and would agree with the justice and equality of God.

4- As Muslims we proposed to have the common ground of the ten commandments and justice between all of us and lift oppression and injustice on all of us.

5- We are waiting eagerly like our Christian brothers for Jesus Second Coming.

6- El Mahdi for the Christians is falsely interpreted as the Antichrist.

7- The problem is not with Islam or Christianity but the people who control the world they want to maintain their status and do not care if other people dying of hunger, disease or living miserable lives. They will use with tenacity of some in the west to vow that any major plan to improve the world is satanic and only Jesus (PBUH) will save the world. Trust me these are the same forces that would conspire and persecute Jesus if to come again. However God will have him descend with Angels between Muslims and Christians who love him and are ready for his kingdom.

8-Some Christians no doubt have strong faith that Jesus is a true Son of God. They have the right to their faith as Muslims we ask them to read the Quran and give it even a little thought it could be from God.

9- Regarding change of the Bible. Muslims believe in large part it is from God and we have to respect it. There is some alteration. Muslims at time of Muhammad (PBUH) are discouraged from reading the Bible since the Quran is a pure book with no alteration and direct word of God. However given the high possibility of us being in the end of time. I encourage Muslims to read the Bible and Christians and Jews to read the Quran.

10- The first to be blamed for radicalization of the Muslim world is the west with its support to the oppressive regimes in the Arab and Muslim world. I warned America about them before 9/11 and I had it with them in Egypt for their closed mindedness and seeing only white and black. 9/11 is beleived by many now to be an internal job.

11- No doubt the violent approach is against Islamic revival and similarly passive approach and submission to the west is just more humiliation. If we stand as strong masses as Muslims and uniting our power we will get our voices hared and our rights returned.

12- Love from Christians comes from many of their Pastors and Nuns and ordinary Westerns, we need love and justice come from policies that can positively affect our daily lives.

13- This was my Taman Health Plan a love and justice to the American people who are deprived of justice to their health care and long term care security.

14- The wrong thinking that the Muslims are coming to persecute Christians and Jews is non-sense. The Just God of Quran is the same as the Bible. The Antichrist is not the Mahdi the corrupt system of the world now is the real Antichrist. A lot of good people in the west and Muslim world will actually stand with the Mahdi. The west if not even believe he is sent from God (though many in their hearts will believe and will fear the punishment of God) they will love his message which is close to Christ and the long awaited messiah for the Jews. Muslims will believe from all their hearts he is sent from God. The tyrants have the time to repent and find what they can do to please the Mahdi. God said in the Quran " I and my prophets are victorious".
