I am writing you to earnestly Solicit for your assistance in helping to receive some sum of money into your account for safe keeping. I got your e-mail address through an internet marketing firm while searching for a reliable and reputable person to handle this transaction. THE PROPOSITION: We have the sum of US$29,000,000.00 (Twenty Nine Million Dollars) that we intend to transfer overseas through theassistance of a foreign partner. This money came as a result of Over provision in the budget for unclaimed pension and accident insurance.

I have agreed to transfer the funds overseas for my campaign funding and other investment purposes, private use and for investment purposes with your assistance. I am contacting you therefore, to stand in as the beneficiary to process this fund into your custody. As soon as you consent to this I will immediately send you title documents to the fund in your name so you can make claim for it. I will provide you with 30% for assisting us and 10% to be set aside for reimbursement,for expenses that may arise during the process of concluding the transaction.

Ducknut Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Dear Mr./Mrs. We are writing you on behalf of ULTRACO S.A., well-known prestigious Swiss company which main field of operation lies in selling elite watches collections and jewelry series. We are glad to propose you interesting and highly paid job in financial sphere. At this moment we are in need of new regional financial agents whose work consists of collecting the payments from the customers from the same country and forwarding them to our companys main office. Due to our operating employees inability to handle the sales volume we decided to open additional vacancies in each European country as well as in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Regional financial managers are needed because we accept bank wire transfers only and as you know international wire transfer could take more than 3 or even 5 days, thus increasing term of delivery up to 5-8 days. Such long term of delivery adversely affects our sales volume that's why we provide our agent's account details to the customer who is in the same country. Bank transfer within the same country takes 1-2 days only. After we receive confirmation that the amount has been received we send purchased items to the customer immediately. These actions let us to diminish term of delivery to 3-4 days. Please visit our webpage at www.ultra-co.com/vacancies.html to get to know our proposal in greater detail and if you are interested please send an email to vacancy@ultra-co.com and we will send you an Application Form back. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us at info@ultra-co.com and we will reply you for sure. Thanks for reading our proposal. Chief Executive Officer, Jose Ansari, ULTRACO S.A. Quote
Off_White Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Dear Ascensionist: There's a new Internet based climbers' resource-Ascensionist.com. An alternative to other climbing Bulletin Board Systems (e.g., cc.com, etc.); less bickering and BS; more talk of climbing. You've received this e-mail because I've hand selected you to participate in Ascensionist.com. Please help the popularity and usefulness of the site by registering a username and posting trip reports, conditions, and discussion of all things climbing (access issues, etc.). Naturally, with any new BBS, Ascensionist.com will initially lack content, but with your help this will change. I believe it's time for a better climbers' resource; a resource where climbers don't have to wade through 10 pages of non non sequiturs and useless posts to get to information related to climbing; and a place where people aren't censored or banned for expressing climbing views and opinions that aren't mainstream. Ascensionist.com isn't yet perfected by any means; as the site's popularity increases, and as I receive user feedback, I will change the site (whether by adding categories, or by implementing greater functionality), to best suit its users. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and please visit: Ascensionit.com! Thanks, The Ascensionist P.S. Please invite anyone you know who can contribute positively to register a username.

Dru Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Time wasted deleting junk e-mail costs American businesses nearly $22 billion a year, according to a new study from the University of Maryland. A telephone-based survey of adults who use the internet found that more than three-quarters receive spam daily. The average spam messages per day is 18.5 and the average time spent per day deleting them is 2.8 minutes. The loss in productivity is equivalent to $21.6 billion per year at average U.S. wages, according to the National Technology Readiness Survey. The study, to be released also found that 14 percent of spam recipients actually read messages to see what they say, and 4 percent of the recipients have bought something advertised through spam within the past year.

You must have heard over the media reports on the recovery of various sums of money deposited by Ex- IG Ispector General of Police with various banks home and abroad. Some companies willingly gave up their secret and disclosed our money confidently lodged there, or many, outright blackmail. Infact the total sum discovered by the government so far is in the tune of Over ($10M) was discovered in SWISS BANK, ($13M) in one of the Banks in London, 750 million Naira in (ALL-STATE BANK) and some other includes FURTUNE and BACKLAYS BANKS. by the government, including some of his properties were sized too till proper investigation been made.

As it is legally required, the administration of IG Tafawa Balogun?s property is under the authority of the family?s Lawyer Barrister Sam Egobia (SAN). The investigative teams set up by my government have submitted their report after freezing almost all our account.

John, Jimmy & Johan Bam I Dunya management, Urumqi, PR of China ********************************************************************************** KINGATA TAGH Summit Elevation: 6780 Meter Where?; Western Kunlun, Near China/Tadjikstan border When?: 5 July to 30 July 2005, (Same period in 2006) Minimum number of members: 6 persons Price per person: $ 1.749,- (1.349,- Euro) GENERAL INFO ABOUT KINGATA TAGH MOUNTAIN Kingata Tagh is found in the Kingata, Sometimes called Karajira, Shan mountains which stretch from the Karakoram Highway to the Tadjikstan border. The Kingata Shan is the most Western range that geographically counts to the Kunlun chain. Until recently the area was completely unvisited by foreign tourists/climbers. This was partly due to the fact that the whole western part of the range was off limits, being a military controlled border area. In 2005 the rules will change and the road to Muji and the Tadjikstan border will be opened to civil traffic. First to make a reconnaissance in the area was a Russian party in 2001 who researched the possibilities of approaching the main peak from the North. They however found this unfeasible as the way is barred by extended and very difficult glacier terrain. We were out in the area in September 2004 and researched the Southern approach. We found that as well over the moraines of the West glacier as over those of the Southwest glacier the foot of the mountain can be reached relatively easily. Apart from the ascent of two secondaries the route on the Southwest face was reconnaitered up to an altitude of 5400 meter. Kingata is not a very easy mountain to climb, much more difficult than nearby Muztagata, but it is also not a K2 or a Kongur. Nevertheless, those wanting to join our team should be independent mountaineers with sufficient skills in iceclimbing.

For Xinjiang standards it is a very accessible mountain, as it rises directly from the Karakoram highway, and a whole set of villages of the local semi nomadic Kyrghyz herders are found around its base. Until very recently however the peak did not get much attention from mountaineers/hikers. This is due to the nearness of very popular and equally accessible objectives as Muztagata and Kongur Tagh. Like in all popular mountaineering area's it was the highest peaks that get the first attention. It was only in the summer of 2004 that a Swiss member of one of our teams made the first ascent by way of the west Ridge. Aklangm is a very bulky, very complex mountain with a great number of possible routes on it. Most of this possible ascent ways are of considerable technical difficulty, but a few are fairly easy, the West ridge, which we intend to do on our scheduled expeditions, is probably the least difficult of them. No special technical skills are demanded of potential team members, but all who are applying to join our group should have at least some previous high altitude mountaineering experience.

The peak is twin summited with quite a large horizontal difference between the two peaks. The South summit is exacly on the border of China and Pakistan, the Northern one is a few kilometer inside China. A japanese team succesfully climbed the South summit from Pakistan in the 1980's and as it was than thought that it was the higher one, so for many the case was settled. Modern SRTM data however show that the South summit has an elevation of 7512 and the Northern one with 7545 being 33 meter higher. The approach of Skyang Kangri is elaborate, as is the walk in from K2 base camp to the foot of the climb, this is the reason that not many have tried to climb it. Probably the first to do so were Japanese in 1995, choosing a difficult direct route in the North face and failling to climb the summit. In the dying days of our K2 expedition in early 2003, one member of our team had a go at it and reconnaitered an elaborate route, traversing the flank of a secondary peak. After having been avalanched in camp III at 6400 meter and only just surviving the attempt was cancelled. However the "gletscherwolf trail" seems a navigable way up and is for certain the technically least difficult possibility to do so. Although not a very difficult ascent, it is an unclimbed route and a very long way to go. Apart from that there are very steep pitches of snow climbing and the objective dangers are plenty and obvious. So anyone wanting to join our expedition should have considerable high altitude and snow/iceclimbing experience as well as good stamina INTENARY 10 October: Arrival of team members in Kashgar, welcome dinner at John's cafe, stay at Seman Hotel. 11 October: Stay in Kashgar, sightseeing to Id Kay Mosque and Apak Hodja Tomb 12 October: Stay in Kashgar, Last preparations, loading of truck. 13 October: Drive by jeep from Kashgar to Yecheng, Stay in local hotel 14 October: Drive by jeep to Mazardara 15 October: Acclimatisation day, camping out in the Mazardara river valley 16 -20 October: Trekking in to K2 base camp 21 October: Establishing base camp. 22-30 October; Building and supplying of Advanced Base camps I & II 31 October May - 1 December: Period for the climbing of Skyang Kangri North Peak 2-6 December: Trekking back to Mazardara 7 December: Transport by Jeep back to Yecheng 8 December: Transport back to Kashgar 9 December: Sighseeing day in Kashgar, celebration dinner and party INCLUDED IN SERVICE PACKAGE Mountain Permit and all other necessary paperwork.

This mountain range is extremely remote and difficult to access, the reason why it has been visited only a few times. The main peak was first climbed by a Japanese party in 1985 and a second successfull ascent was made in 1996, also by Japenese. A few more parties have visited it, but without success. The main peak, which overtowers everything else in the extremely glaciated range overtowers all other summits with more than 200 meter. Although the hike from Base camp to advanced base camp at its foot is a very difficult one, the peak itself is not a very technical one to climb. Experience with prolonged times at high altitude seem more inportant than high grade ice climbing techniques.

Unlike with most 8000+ peaks, there is no relatively easy way up the peak and very good technical skills are needed for those trying to get up it. The first route that was climbed on the mountain was the Abruzzi ridge on its Southern approaches, from the Pakistan side. This route was pioneered, unsuccesfully, as early as 1909 by an Italian team. It took several tries until it was finally summited by two members of an italian team in 1954 China remained closed for foreign mountaineers for a long time after the 1949 revolution, so it was only in the 1980's that the first tries on its north side were mounted. The first to be succesfull were Japanes in 1983. Since then the climb on the Northwest ridge has been repeated succesfully a few times and a variation of it was opened by Americans. The climbing of the Northwest ridge might be even a little harder than that of the Abruzzi ridge, but for that it is also somewhat safer than the highly avalanche dangerous South. We are talking one of the hardest climbs in the Asian mountains over here, and we must make clear from the beginning that this is not a fully guided trip, and all those applying to join this expedition should be independent mountaineers with sufficient experience and technical skills.

As Muztagat is a stand alone peak and its summit is almost 4000 meter higher than the surrounding valleys, it makes for a most stupendous sight. Muztagata is also a very bulky and complex mountain. The first tries to scale it were already made around the turn of the 19th and 20th century, but without much success. In the late 40's, Eric Shipton and Bill Tilman came to within 50 vertical meters of the summit, but it was not until 1956 that a combined Soviet/Chinese party scaled the summit succesfully. After China opened up for foreign climbers in 1980 more climbers started to come to it, at first slowly, but by 1990 it had surpassed Peak Lenin as the most visited 7000 meter peak on the planet: By now the number of summiteers is over 1500 and at least 50 expeditions visit it every summer, more in a good year. What makes Muztagata so attractive is that it is the "easiest" 7500+ peak on earth. The ascent of the West flank knows no technical difficulties and angles are hardly exceeding 30 degrees. Still it must not be underestimated: Its elevation is very great, the way to its summit long and exhausting and there are crevasses and avalanches on its icy slopes. ALPEX has been to this peak with many groups since 1999 and we do not set very high demands on the technical skills and previous experiences of those applying to join our expeditions to it: "Hard Mountain Hikers" with experience in glacier terrain and perfect physical health do stand a chance on this peak.

It sits tucked away deep in the centre of the unique Northern Tibet/Qinghai plateau, hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest human habitation. The peaks of the range tower up to almost 7000 meter whilst the surrounding plains are at an average elevation of 5200 meter. Given the forbidding nature of the plateau and the great distance to it from the nearest settlements, combined with the immense problems to overcome in the roadless, vegetationless access ways, have led to that the range has been visited only a few times before. All previous successfull visits approached the massive from the Southeast and only exploration of the Eastern chain of the Pukkomanna has so far been done. The mountains of the Western chain, as well as the mysterious, very deep lakes in between, remain unexplored for the moment. At least two tries to reach the area from the North have been mounted so far, but without the desired success. In 2003 a large party from the Chinese buro of minerals and Geology tried. But after losing most of their vehicles in the immense mudfields surrounding the mountains and taking two casualties among the personal they gave up, a mere 30 kilometer from the giant delta of the West Pukkomanna River. In spring 2004 a mixed scientific and mountaineering party of our company tried in cooperation with the Xinjiang Institute of Science and Technology, but also this attempt was ill fated. Previous experiences have led us to the conclusion that only a new try in the depths of winter will stand a change as the mudfields will be frozen.

olyclimber Posted February 11, 2005 Author Posted February 11, 2005 Is this what the future holds for us in Massachusetts? Life Without Mikey Michael J. Fox was right. California's Prop 71 will put an end to the shakes. The 27 million dollars that the biotech companies invested to convince Michael that they could stop his disease was well spent. He bought it; then, sold it to us. We should all feel really happy for him, and all the other people that are inflicted with Parkinson's disease. Michael is a brave man. And the good news is that, thanks to 71, my children's children won't have to deal with poor folks like Michael, because they won't exist. Parkinson's won't exist. Oh, and let's not forget Arnold. A big thanks to him as well. Although the majority of scientists have resigned themselves to the fact that embryonic stem cell research will never find the cure to Parkinson's disease, they do all agree that Prop 71 will put an end to it. I guess Michael didn't notice the winks and the nods going on behind his back as they convinced him that thiss is the way to save the world from such disease. Why couldn't he see what Proposition "Adolph vision" was really about? Did he ask why the 'oversight board' that was created by Prop 71 had been given three Billion dollars without having to be accountable to the taxpayers? Or why the press was specifically singled out as not being able to gain access to the future state of affairs? Did he ever wonder what "somatic cell nuclear transfer" was? It couldn't be cloning; because the bill specifically denies the use of cloning, right, Michael? Did he not want to know exactly how Prop 71 was going to eradicate Parkinson's disease? I'm sure they told him that it will also wipe out other diseases as well. Does Michael know that in the event they do not discover any cures, (as they have not done in the more than two decades of embryonic stem cell research) that at least they will have come up with hundreds of patents on cloning and discovered thousands of unique cells that will allow the world to selectively control the existence of people with Parkinson's and other diseases. I doubt they told Michael that he would have been avoided, skipped over, passed on. They didn't tell him that with the patents they get, from the knowledge they learn through the milions of lives they create to destroy, from the billions of dollars they were given from the millions of suckers they snowed: that they will be able to rid the world of homosexuals and Native American Indians and fat people and ugly people and people like John Kerry. Hey Doc Hollywood, you dont know what you have done for the world. But stop fooling yourself. Please realize that if we had realized the benefits of Prop 71 fifty years ago, chances are damn good that, for better or for worse, America would not have had "Life with Mikey" or "Family Ties" or "Back to the Future". But be assured, Michael J. Fox will get his wish; in the future there won't be a whole lot of shaking going on. Those kind of folks will be avoided. There will, however, be great opportunities for Brad Pitt to make a financial killing. When he's too old and ugly to act, he can sell his DNA for millions and we can have thousands of duplicate Brad's running around Hollywood. Maybe next time the people of California will do a little homework. There are a lot better ways to spend six billion dollars if you really care about people. Quote
Squid Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 From: Nurun Ala Nur <nurlandir@web.de> Subject: INVITING CHRISTIANS TO THE RIGHT WAY AND REDEMPTION... German English Netherland French Turkish INVITING CHRISTIANS TO THE RIGHT WAY AND REDEMPTION (This brochure has been prepared to briefly describe the Islamic belief in Allah and the status of Jesus (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him (PBUH)) as well as to invite Christians to the path of righteousness and redemption.) � THE ALMIGHTY AND THE MAJESTIC ALLAH (MAY HE BE GLORIFIED AND EXALTED), STATES IN HIS HOLY QURAN: “SAY: HE, ALLAH, IS ONE.” (AL-IKHLAS: 1) CHRISTIANS, BY SAYING: “FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT” ARE SUBMITTING TO A POLYTHEIST BELIEF. IS THIS NOT A CLEAR DEVIATION? ALLAH (MAY HE BE GLORIFIED AND EXALTED), IN HIS SURA AL-IKHLAS MOST CERTAINLY DECLARES THAT: “HE BEGETS NOT, NOR WAS HE BEGOTTEN.” (AL-IKHLAS: 3) CHRISTIANS ARE BELIEVING THAT “JESUS MESSIAH IS THE SON OF GOD” IS THIS NOT A CLEAR IGNORANCE? WHEREAS, AS INFORMED IN THE HOLY QURAN JESUS (PBUH) HAS SAID: “I AM A SERVANT OF ALLAH, HE HAS GIVEN ME THE SCRIPTURE AND MADE ME A PROPHET.” (MARYAM: 30) WHEREAS, CHRISTIANS IDOLIZE JESUS (PBUH). WHAT A HUGE DEVIATION THIS IS. IN AYAH 4-5 OF SURA AL-KAHF ALLAH (MAY HE BE GLORIFIED AND EXALTED) STATES: “AND TO WARN THOSE WHO SAY, ALLAH HAS BEGOTTEN A SON. NO KNOWLEDGE HAVE THEY OF SUCH A THING, NOR HAD THEIR FATHERS. MIGHTY IS THE WORD THAT COMES OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS. THEY UTTER NOTHING BUT A LIE.” (AL-KAHF: 4-5) CHRISTIANS ARE IMPUTING THAT ALLAH (MAY HE BE GLORIFIED AND EXALTED), HAS BEGOT A SON. WHAT GREAT HEEDLESSNESS THIS IS? ALLAH (MAY HE BE GLORIFIED AND EXALTED), COMMANDS IN HIS AYAT: “MUHAMMAD IS NOT THE FATHER OF ANY MAN AMONG YOU, BUT HE IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH AND THE LAST (END) OF THE PROPHETS.” (AL-AHZAB: 40) EVEN THOUGH IT’S REVEALED IN THE BIBLE, CHRISTIANS SAY: “WE DO NOT RECOGNISE ANY PROPHET AFTER JESUS.” THEY DO NOT EVEN BELIEVE IN THEIR OWN BOOK. WHAT KIND OF RELIGIOUS CREED IS THIS? � To believe in all prophets as well as Jesus (PBUH), is one of the principle beliefs in the religion of Islam. We believe in all the prophets and holy books that Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) has sent us. “They all believe in Allah and His angels and His books and His apostles; We do not differentiate between any of His apostles…” (Al-Baqara: 285) Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) instructs us to believe in Jesus (PBUH) and the unaltered holy bible that was sent to him and all the other prophets that Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) has sent us. According to the Islam, Jesus (PBUH) is one of the great prophets of Allah (may he be glorified and exalted). He was born fatherless from the Virgin Mary. Jesus (PBUH) was created just as Adam (PBUH) was created without a father. As a matter of fact, today’s medical science, eases the understanding of this situation. Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) is bereft of human qualities and having a child. The Jews, who didn’t want to understand and accept these facts, slandered Jesus (PBUH) about his fatherless birth and accused him of being a “child out of wedlock”, whereas some Christians called him “God”, while others called him “son of God” and another group named him “one of the three”. Whereas, the truth is as stated in the Holy Quran: “Verily, the likeness of 'Iesa (Jesus) before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he was.” (Al-e-Imran: 59) Allah’s (may he be glorified and exalted) divine declaration about Mary is: “And Mary the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His books, and was one of the devout (servants).” (At-Tahrim: 12) Christians, by saying “God is three: the father, the son, and the holy spirit; three individual as one”, have deviated to a “trinity” understanding. Which one of this is Almighty Allah? Isn’t this a fallacious mentality? Can it be true? “Desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one Allah; far be It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His, and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.” (An-Nisa: 171) You know that Islam is the true religion, that The Holy Quran is the last book sent to us by Allah (may he be glorified and exalted), and that Muhammad (PBUH) is the true and last prophet sent to us by Allah (may he be glorified and exalted). But you still persist in your denial. “O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Why do you mix truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know?” (Al-e-Imran: 71) Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) is calling unto you. Oh reader, don’t consciously hide what is true and what is real. Don’t shut your eyes to the right path. Don’t persist in this blasphemy and denial. Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) is calling to you in his Holy Quran in Sura An-Nisa: “So believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not: 'Three (trinity)!'” (An-Nisa: 171) Believe in that Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) is only one, He is exempt of human qualities. It’s great cruelty and denial to impute having a son to Allah (may he be glorified and exalted): “And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son. Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins, that they ascribe a son to the Most Beneficent Allah. But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Beneficent Allah that He should beget a son.” (Maryam: 88-92) Can you not understand the difference between creating and breeding? Can you not think that to give birth and to be born, before anything is linked to a creation? Are your eyes so blind? Whereas, according to The Holy Quran, Jesus (PBUH) had said: “Verily, Allah! He is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). This is the (only) Straight Path.” (Az-Zukhruf: 64) Jesus (PBUH) is addressing you as a servant of Allah, whereas you are putting him in the place of Allah, accepting him as God. In response to your slander how could Jesus (PBUH) be your advocate? How will you face Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) when brought to His presence? Can something created be God? Can you not see how much you have deviated? “But the Messiah said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord". Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimыn (polytheists and wrongdoers) there are no helpers.” (Al-Maeda: 72) Jesus (PBUH) is addressing you, should you continue to hold partners in worship to Allah (may he be glorified and exalted), Hell will eternally be your abode. Will you still not wake up? Allah (may he be glorified and exalted), puts forth in the Holy Quran another declaration by Jesus (PBUH): “Verily! I am a servant of Allah, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet;” (Maryam: 30) While, the Christians are wrongly accepting Jesus (PBUH) as God. Jesus (PBUH), is saying; “I am not Allah, but his servant. I am not Allah, but his prophet and messenger.” Christians have gone astray by making a creation, their creator, Allah. They are slandering their holy prophet, and deviating from his path. Can a human be a God? What big denial is this? To those who impute almightiness to Jesus (PBUH), Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) commands in his Ayah: “Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary)." (Al-Maeda: 72) “Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).” (Al-Maeda: 73) The word “three” as well as the word “third” in saying that “Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)” indicates a two-way blasphemy. Since there is no God other than one, presuming “three Gods” is denial that Allah exists. This creates an inconsistency such as saying “Allah (God) is three”. “But there is no God (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One (God - Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.“ (Al-Maeda: 73) Those, who persist in using these words and continue in their misguided belief of the trinity, Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) openly labels blasphemous. And they will receive a severe punishment. “The Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger…” (Al-Maeda: 75) He is not a God, but merely a prophet, an edict who has been sent by Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) with His proof and decree. As Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) has purposely given miracles to some of the prophets, He has also given Jesus (PBUH) clear miracles in order to prove his authenticity. Just as Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) brought the dead back to life through his intermediary Jesus (PBUH), with no doubt, he also used Moses (PBUH) as an intermediary, giving life to his staff and turning it into a snake. This miracle is more astounding than the first. If Jesus (PBUH) was created without a father, no doubt, Adam (PBUH) was created without a father or a mother. This is even more surprising. All these are from the divine level of Allah (may he be glorified and exalted). Moses (PBUH) and Jesus (PBUH) are only intermediaries who manifest Allah’s (may he be glorified and exalted) power of creation. Neither was Jesus (PBUH) the only prophet to exist: “Many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a Siddiqah [i.e. she believed in the words of Allah and His Books (see Verse 66:12)]. They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while Allah does not eat)…” (Al-Maeda: 75) Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) states that Jesus (PBUH) and Mary “used to eat”. Hence, Jesus (PBUH) used to eat, drink and walk just as any other human. Can such a person be a God? Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) is such that He has no beginning nor ending. Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) rejects the fabricated statements and extreme views that Christians have of Jesus (PBUH). Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) describes in the Holy Quran, how Christians have deviated so much with their excessive elevation of Jesus that they ignore God and worship Jesus (PBUH) instead: “O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth…” (An-Nisa: 171) Refer to Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) with only His high attributes and His beautiful names. Don’t associate him with a partner, a child (son) or similar things, which do not suit His attributes. “The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah.” (An-Nisa: 171) Jesus (PBUH) is only one of the greatest prophets of Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) and not His son, as you claim. “And His Word, ("Be!" - and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary).” (An-Nisa: 171) He is an order manifested by His Glory. It is through His word “Be!” that he became. “And a spirit (Rыh) created by Him.” (An-Nisa: 171) He is a spirit that came into being through creation. Due to the fact that he miraculously became through the manifestation of the word “K� n” (Be) from Allah (may he be glorified and exalted), he (Jesus) was honoured with the title “Kelimetullah” (the word of Allah). This honours the spirit by enhancing it to a divine attribution of Allah (may he be glorified and exalted). Through him (Jesus), Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) has given life to many dead hearts. In that case; “So believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allah is (the only) One Ilah (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is AllSufficient as a Disposer of affairs.” (An-Nisa: 171) Jesus (PBUH) felt necessary to remind those who associated non human attributes to him, that he was but a servant of God: "Verily! I am a servant of Allah." (Maryam: 30) He never said to his people: “acquire me as your Lord”, on the contrary ha said: "And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path.” (Maryam: 36) Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) informs us of the consequence believing in the trinity, which demolishes the basis of monotheist belief. Those who acquire a God alongside Allah, will be made to face Jesus (PBUH) in the divine presence of Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) and who so ever slandered Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) and his prophets will receive the punishment they deserve. Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) in addressing the prophet Muhammad (PBUH), says: “Say: "If the Most Beneficent had a son, then I am the first of Allah's worshippers. Glorified be the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne! Exalted be He from all that they ascribe (to Him). So leave them (alone) to speak nonsense and play until they meet the Day of theirs, which they have been promised.” (Az-Zukhruf: 81-83) Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) says to those who assign to some of His servants a share with Him: “Yet they assign to some of His servants a share with Him (in his godhead). Verily, man is indeed a manifest ingrate!” (Az-Zukhruf: 15) To associate him with having a child (son) is a blasphemy and blasphemy is ingrate avowed. The Holy Quran frequently explains that Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) is exempt from having a child (son): “And they (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: Allah has begotten a son (children or offspring). Glory be to Him (Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth, and all surrender with obedience (in worship) to Him.” (Al-Baqarah: 116) To impute Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) with having a child (son) suggests that he also looks human. Whereas since nothing looks like Him it is unrealistic to assume that He could have a child (son). He is the only creator, and has neither beginning nor end. “They say: Allah has taken a son (to Himself)! Glory be to Him: He is the Self-sufficient: His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth; you have no authority for this; do you say against Allah what you do not know?” (Yunus: 68) Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) is far from the claims these people put forward, they impute to a dry opinion, since He has not declared or made any statement that may suggest that He has a child. “Say: "Verily, those who invent a lie against Allah will never be successful"” (Yunus: 69) They will receive what they fear and be deprived of what they are hoping for. Hell will be there abode and not heaven. “Look, how they invent a lie against Allah, and enough is that as a manifest sin.” (An-Nisa: 50) Even if this be their only sin, the slander they put forth is a sin that will shadows them all. “He Who has begotten no son (children or offspring) and for Whom there is no partner in the dominion. He has created everything, and has measured it exactly according to its due measurements.” (Al-Furqan: 2) The destiny of everything exists under His power. Everything remains within a boundary that no servant can see beyond. However, His power has neither boundary nor end. Hence, nothing has the power to go beyond the limits of creation to become his associate. “And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah.” (At-Tawba: 30) This deviation opened a door for Christians to claim “Messiah is the Son of God.” “And the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah.” (At-Tawba: 30) Though in the beginning, it was only a group of Christians who claimed this, soon after, almost all of them began to accept and claim the same. Moreover, people who disagreed were accused of blasphemy. “These are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before.” (At-Tawba: 30) Though they are people of the book, they are like polytheists and are considered thus. “Allah's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!” (At-Tawba: 30) Due to their slanders, they remain exposed to Allah’s (may he be glorified and exalted) divine wrath. Christians claim that sacrificing their minds and ego to believing in the trinity, is a necessary principle of faith that will save them and purify them of the initial sin, whereas this is nothing other than taking lightly the belief in God. This is clearly disrespectful. The trinity belief was not present at the beginning of Christianity. It is a fabricated belief, which has resulted from fraudulent alteration of the bible. The first gospels written after Jesus (PBUH), was the gospels of Mark. In this Jesus (PBUH) is referred to as; “You are the Christ” (8/29), in Luke; “The Christ of God” (9/20). While a clause in the gospels of Matthew states; “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (16/16). However, Matthew and Luke adopted many of their quotations from the gospels of Mark. The trinity belief is present in the letters of John and Paul. Paul is the father of concepts that impute Godliness to Jesus’s and the one who introduced the present day belief of the trinity. Today's Bible, which is considered a holy book by Christians halfly made up of the letters of Paul who was a Jewish convert. “Paul, the Jewish convert was a Roman Rabbi who had been a great oppressor of Christians before his conversion. The letters he wrote the church upon becoming a Christian, make up half of the 27 books of the bible. ’Son of God’ and the ’Crucifix’ were the basis of Paul's doctrines.” (US News and Report, 20th April 1992 p.70) As a priest, who has converted to Islam states; “Paul's evil minded letters teach about slander, backbiting, jealousy, betrayal and spying.” These letters are especially full of inconsistencies and contradictions. “Saint Paul, whom introduced trinity to Christianity, is a Jew from Tarsus whose real name is Saul.” Before he came out by saying “Jesus came down to me and taught me the trinity”, Saint Paul, used to teach the Kabbalah in Jerusalem (Kudus) (The Concise Atlas of the Bible p.124) “As churches outstretched to Anatolia (Anadolu), Jesus Christ (PBUH) began to be known as ‘The Son of God’, this was the prime subject of Pauls‘s letters.” (A.g.e, p.70) • In order to warn Christians and tell them that they have been mislead, Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) commands in His Ayat; “Say: "How do you worship besides Allah something which has no power either to harm or to benefit you?” (Al-Maeda: 76) All of them, in respect of their nature are creatures of Allah’s (may he be glorified and exalted). They haven’t the potential to give neither benefit nor harm. “But it is Allah Who is the AllHearer, AllKnower."” (Al-Maeda: 76) Just as He can hear His servants worship him and pray to him, He also knows what is kept hidden within the hearts. Consequently, He will give everyone what they deserve. “Say: "O people of the Scripture! Exceed not the limits in your religion other than the truth.” (Al-Maeda: 77) O Christians! Do not ignore that the Messiah (Jesus) is the prophet of God by raising him to a divine level. O Jews! Don’t dare to deflate the value of Jesus by denying he is a prophet. “Do not follow the vain desires of people who went astray in times gone by, and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the Right Path."” (Al-Maeda: 77) Here, the deviated and the deviators are mentioned to describe the dignitaries, from the Jews and Christians, who have marked an epoch in a deviant path and its followers. In their religion they have not set truth as their target, and hence have gone as far as wrongly and blindly imitating their past. “Evil indeed is that which their ownselves have sent forward before them.” (Al-Maedah: 80) It is certain that on the day of judgement, they will see the severe consequences of their beliefs and deviation. • The religion of Islam, began with the first human and the first prophet Adam (PBUH), and with the flow of time and the coming of each prophet, it developed more and more towards perfection. The Islam sent to Moses (PBUH) was more improved and perfected compared to the Islam sent to Noah (PBUH). While, the Islam sent to Jesus (PBUH) was more comprehensive and developed compared to Islam sent to Moses (PBUH). When sent to Muhammad (PBUH), it reached its final modality and was perfected. Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) commands in His Ayah; “This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.” (Al-Maeda: 3) After Islam, there will come no other religion or prophet till the day of judgement. “Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam.” (Al-Imran: 19) It possesses the feature to overcome human beings, qualitative and quantitative needs through the ages. To follow older religions while Islam is present is like searching for stars during the day. � The Distorted Bible Contains Many References on the Prophethood of Jesus (PBUH): After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.” (John: 6:14) They were all filled with awe and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. (Luke: 7:16) And they took offence at him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own house is a prophet without honour.” (Matthew: 13:57) All the verses and similar ones mentioned in the Bible, clearly show that Jesus (PBUH) is a prophet, a messenger sent by God. But on the other hand, this notion is contradicted in verses: Luke: 9:35, Matthew: 3:17, Mark: 1:11, John: 1:18, where it is stated that Jesus (PBUH) is the “Son of God”. These two opposing ideologies should not be present in a Holy book, or its religion. This clearly shows that the Bible has been distorted. Some verses mention Jesus as prophet but on the other hand some others mention him as "Son of God". The Holy Quran, clearly explains the status of Jesus (PBUH): “And when I inspired the disciples: Believe in Me and in My messenger, they said: We believe. Bear witness that we have surrendered (unto Thee) 'we are muslims.'” (Al-Maeda: 111) “The Messiah does by no means disdain that he should be a servant of Allah, nor do the angels who are near to Him, and whoever disdains His service and is proud, He will gather them all together to Himself.” (An-Nisa: 172) “He was naught but a servant on whom We bestowed favour, and We made him an example for the children of Israel.” (Az-Zukhruf: 59) Jesus (PBUH) is a mortal, a prophet chosen by God to guide people unto the path of righteousness. As for his task as a prophet, is to invite people to believe in only one Allah and worship him alone. � The Holy Quran and the Present Day Bible: Allah (the most gracious the most merciful) sent down the holy Quran during the time of the last prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who received and recorded it. Later it was copied and distributed by Muslims. Today, worldwide there are millions of publications of the Quran, however one cannot find the slightest difference even a single letter, among any of these. Even those who slander it, claiming its omission, have failed to show a second version. Thus, there is no such doubt that the Quran maybe altered. A study done by the Germans during the second world war, compared thousands of copies and manuscripts of the Quran written over centuries and found not a single difference in content. Their findings reported that there was no difference between the first copies written hundreds years ago and those today. Whereas, the present day bible has derived through the pen of four different people. Furthermore, it is commonly mentioned that there are various hidden manuscripts and copies of the bible. Added to it are various declarations, stories, letters that belong neither to Allah nor his prophet Jesus (PBUH). For this reason the contradictions and discrepancies within the bible are countless. The book ‘The Pact Behind The Faith’ by ordained Methodist Minister C. Leslie Mitton Jesus (published in 1974 by William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company Grand Rapids, Michigan USA,) describes in page 10 that many consider Jesus (PBUH) with respect regarding him an extraordinary person without taking serious the claim that he is the Son of God. Even the bible is no longer considered a divine book whose every word is accurate, but rather it is considered, a collection of writings by ordinary people who were just as prone to fall into error and ignorance as anyone else. In answering the question “what do we know for sure about Jesus?” it is no longer possible to give the churches official teaching or quote verses from the bible because these only raise further questions arising. How can we be sure that the church or the holy bible is correct? To what extent can the bibles reference to Jesus (PBUH) be considered authentic or to what extent has it been influenced, altered o! r even created by the imagination Prof. Dr. Maurice Bucaille writes of the confessions of the French Catholic Priest Roguet: “Many bible readers feel embarrassed, in fact they blush when they think about the meaning behind many of the confessions in the bible. This also happens when they compare different revelations of the same event from various versions of the bible. Priest Roguet also mentions this observation in his book ‘An Introduction to the Bible’. A weekly Catholic publication, experienced in answering the question of distressed bible readers is a measure of how uneasy Christians are of what they read in the holy bible. People who send these queries come from a wide range of cultural and social backgrounds. Priest Rouget describes that they are often requested to explain texts that are difficult to understand, comprehend and often contradictory or those referred to as scandalous texts. …This is a recent establishment. Priest Rougets book was published in 1973. Not long ago most Christians were only accommodated to the bible being read and interpreted in sermons and it was neve! r tradition to read the whole of t The Bible has been altered. Hence, it is unavoidable for any reasoning Christian to fall into doubt or uncertainty about the fraudulent alteration of the bible. For these reasons many Christian theologists, have had to explain that there was no book sent to Jesus (PBUH) and rather the bible was written by Jesus’ partisans. While according to Islam, it is believed that Allah (the most gracious the most merciful) has sent to mankind four holy books. These are the Psalms of David, the Torah, the Bible and the Quran. Oh Christians! Is it possible to believe a book whose divinity has been distorted? Is it possible to defend that a religion built on such a book can be from God? On what evidence do you still reject the last prophet Muhammad (PBUH)? While it is he, who has elevated Jesus (PBUH) and introduced him in the most excellent manner to all believers. � Revelations of the Last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Bible: Over the years, the holy bible given to Jesus (PBUH) by Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) has been adulterated by the words of men, yet in spite of its current tarnished state, it still retains some signs, which tell of the coming of the last prophet Muhammad (PBUH). But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the counsellor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgement. (John 16:7-8) I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. (John 16:12-13) If you love me you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another counsellor to be with you forever- the Spirit of truth. (John 14:15-17) But the Counsellor, the Holly Spirit, whom the father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. (John 14:26) When the Counsellor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. (John 15:26) These are the words of Jesus (PBUH) according to the Bible recognised, accepted, and believed in by Christians the world over, today. They attest to two very vital points: that Jesus (PBUH) gave his disciples the news of the coming of a greater prophet than himself; and that he told them that they must adhere to him. It also describes his worth and great virtues. While Jesus (PBUH) spoke of Muhammad (PBUH) in this way, Rasulullah (the messenger of Allah) spoke of Jesus (PBUH) as follows: Amongst the people, there is non, who is closer to Jesus son of Mary, in this world and the next, than I. All the Prophets are brothers; they are like children of the same father, born of different mothers. All of their religions are one. (Buhkari, Tajrid-i Sarih: 1403) The above statements does not only show how both Prophets support and testify about one another, but it also shows how they compliment each other, and demonstrates their elevated statuses by Allah’s (may he be glorified and exalted) side. The term used to refer to the ‘Spirit of Truth’ of whose coming Jesus (PBUH) spoke is ‘Paraklate’ in Greek or ‘Paraklatos’ in the Latin. According to Christian traditions, Paraklate means one who praises, or the saviour; which is easily a reference to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who saved mankind from sin/corruption. Further more, the direct translation of the word Paraklate, into Arabic, is Ahmad. Hence, this refers to our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The Kingdom of Heaven being close at hand, as spoken of in Mathew and Luke, is also a reference to Muhammad (PBUH): He told them another parable: The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches. (Matthew 13:31-32) As the parable describes, the religion which the last messenger brought, was initially weak, his followers very few, but afterwards Islam grew strong and spread throughout the world. In the eyes of Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) Jesus (PBUH) is a truly elevated Prophet. It is because Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) wishes it so, that they are loved so much by men. Basically, the endless love and devotion we have towards all of the Prophets of Allah (may he be glorified and exalted), in spite of lack of knowledge or understanding of their greatness, is purely due to the will of the almighty, and beyond any human capability or capacity we have, for he is a prophet. “O children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me in the Torah, and giving good tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad.” (As-Saff: 6) One can discern from the Quranic verse above, that the increase of devotion, love and association between Jesus (PBUH) and Muhammad (PBUH) leads to the essence of brotherhood between them. Furthermore, with the will of Allah (may he be glorified and exalted), Muhammad (PBUH) boldly reveals the mystery and the truth surrounding Jesus (PBUH). He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. (John 16:14) What he meant by this is; “Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) has bestowed many great virtues and qualities upon me, which I cannot explain to you now. But he will reveal to you my reality, and explain all that Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) has given me.” This is why, when the awaited prophet came, many great Judeo-Christian scholars of the time embraced the new religion brought by him. “Those whom We have given the Book recognize this as they recognize their sons; (as for) those who have lost their souls, they will not believe.” (Al-Anaam: 20) Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave the news of the return of Jesus (PBUH). I swear by Allah (may he be glorified and exalted), in whose power my life rests; It will not be long before Jesus (PBUH) son of Mary, will return as a fair judge, to destroy the cross, kill the pig, and remove tax …then, there will be such a great increase in wealth, that it will be impossible to find anyone who will accept charity. (Bukhari, Tajrid-i sarih: 1018) It will not be long before Jesus (PBUH) son of Mary, will return as a fair judge, to destroy the cross, kill the pig and remove tax; young she camels will be left untended, and non will be interested in them; all enmity and hatred between men will be in the past. Jesus (PBUH) will invite people to partake in the wealth, but there will be non who desires it. (Muslim: 155) . Jesus (PBUH) was the last of the Prophets sent to the children of Israel. He renewed the religion, which had been practiced throughout the ages until his time, spoke openly, about Ahmad who would come after him, even referring to him by name, while his teachings and ideologies were also inclined towards the last prophet. In his time, Jesus (PBUH) supported the Torah, which bore revelations of his coming, before him, as well as revelations about that of the last prophet Muhammad (PBUH). In doing so, he proved with his own existence; and the good tidings he brought, in regards to the coming of Ahmad (PBUH) being close at hand; that the revelations in the Torah were true, and very near to being fully realised. This was one of the prophet-hood duties of Jesus (PBUH): To be a pioneer for him whose name ‘Ahmad’, not only means he who praises Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) the most, but also, he who is praised and honoured most amongst all of Allah’s (may he be glorified and exalted) creations. Yet in spite of the words of the messiah, many of the sons of Israel denied Muhammad (PBUH) just as they had denied Jesus (PBUH), while even many Christians hid the truth, by altering their scriptures. Many Christian priests and scholars awaited the appearance of the final prophet, as did the sons of Israel, who expected him to come to them, and from amongst their own people. Yet when the awaited messenger, the promise of whose celebrated coming, was written in their Holly books and scriptures, came from amongst the descendants of Ishmael (PBUH), there was much trickery and accusations from those who didn’t want to accept him, as well as a great deal of hostility. “But when the Messenger came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "this is evident sorcery!" (As-Saff: 6) The Jews and Christians who refused to submit to Allah’s (may he be glorified and exalted) word and will, were driven by their own desires in wanting the final messenger to come from their own midst. Yet in spite of the fact that he was unmistakably the messenger of Allah (may he be glorified and exalted), they refused to accept this, and went about denying him. O those who refuse to believe, imagine that you are in the presence of your Lord. If you are honest with yourselves, you cannot believe that the promised messenger has still not arrived. Allah (may he be glorified and exalted) sent you a messenger who brought the truth. You have heard this, and you know it. Can you still refuse to accept? Can you still snub divine will, and submit to the desires of your baser self? Can you not see that in what you do, you are preparing your doom with your own hands? � Why did Bush not allow Yusuf Islam to enter the USA? They know that Islam is the last religion and the holy Quran is the last book sent by Allah (the most gracious the most merciful) and that Muhammad is the last prophet sent by Allah (the most gracious the most merciful). “O followers of the Book! Why do you confound the truth with the falsehood and knowingly hide the truth?” (Al-E-Imran: 71) However, since they have not found righteousness they continue to persist in there corruption. “And to whomsoever Allah does not give light, he has no light.” (Al-Noor: 40) What is there punishment? They will see torment like no one else has seen. Since, they deny divine commands, try to hide the truth, and choose mistaken beliefs over what is right. “Seize him, then drag him down into the middle of the hell; Then pour upon his head the torment of the boiling water. Taste thou! Wast thou forsooth the mighty, the honourable. Truly this is what ye used to doubt!” (Ad-Dukhan: 47-50) And it will be said to them: “Weren’t you renowned amongst your people? But you were/remained ungrateful towards your creature Allah (the most gracious the most merciful).” “Does not man see that We have created him from a drop of seed (detestable water)? Then lo! he (stands forth) as an open adversary!” (Ya-seen: 77) Though, it was He who created you from a sperm and surrounded you with His blessings, still what is it that deceives you against all His benevolence? Thus, suffer the torment you deserve! Suffer it eternally… This goes to ruler. Every disbelieving ruler, will taste this torment. The USA Feared Yusuf Islam (Turkish Newspaper; Y. Юafak, 23. September 2004) Not allowing Yusuf Islam to enter the US, was an act driven by malicious crusade mentalities with an ulterior motive to openly antagonise Islam. However, this situation will result in against them. While he was going to meet a few people there now the subject matter has spread worldwide. Yusuf Islam had no gun, nor plane, yet why did the US fear him? They feared him because above all he has faith. “O you who believe! Guard your own souls: If you are on the right way, no hurt can come to you from those who stray. To Allah is your return, of all (of you), and then He will inform you of what you did.” (Al-Maeda: 105) They know well that their book has been altered. Thus this is what Allah (the most gracious the most merciful) informs us: “They change the words from their places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them…” (Al-Maeda: 105) They have seen the bible altered and destroyed, yet why do they still hide this truth? Because they want to cover the truths. While Yusuf Islam was also once a Christian, and a man of fame but once he was honoured with faith he turned his back to everything else. He accepted Allah (the most gracious the most merciful) His Book and His Prophet and was saved. “Is one whose heart Allah has opened to Islam, so that he has received Enlightenment from Allah, (no better than one hard-hearted)? Woe to those whose hearts are hardened against celebrating the praises of Allah! They are manifestly wandering in error!” (Az-Zumar: 22) These are the ones who are saved, those are the ones who are held. Does this not teach you a lesson? Allah (the most gracious the most merciful) informs us in His verses: “Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam.” (Al-E-Imran: 19) They fear him because they fear the spreading of the light of faith. For instance: An armed robber enters a house. When the child of the household shouts: “Dad!” the robber strays. Why? Because he is not supposed to be there, he is not a member of that household. Thus, because they remain deprived of the true religion, they take precautions against the spreading of the divine religion. Nevertheless, their fears will come true. Surah Al-Isra verse 58 refers to them: “There is not a town but We will destroy it before the day of resurrection or punish it with a severe punishment; this is written in the Book (of Divine ordinance).” . � O Christians! We invite you to believe that there is no God but Allah (the most gracious the most merciful) who is exempt from mortal attributes and He begets not, nor was He begotten; and to believe in all His messengers, that Muhammad (PBUH) and Jesus (PBUH) are His servants and prophets; and to believe that the Psalms, Torah, Bible and Quran are all true books sent to the messengers of Allah (the most gracious the most merciful). This is the truth, this is true redemption. � “And peace to all who follow guidance!” (Ta-ha: 47) “Peace on His servants whom He has chosen!…” (Al-Naml: 59) ________________________________________________________________________________ cevap@nurunalanur.net Quote
Ducknut Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 From: Mrs. Joy Dish Khushab I am the above named person from Pakistan. I am married to Dr.Dish Khushab who worked with Pakistan embassy in Togo for nine years before he died in the year 2001.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home, which the Bible is against. When my Late husband was alive he deposited the sum of$6.5Million (Six Million Five hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one finance/security company in Amsterdam Holland. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church that will Use this fund-to-fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Finance/Security Company in Amsterdam Holland. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. Happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this Same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you. Remain blessed in the name of the Lord. Yours in Christ, Mrs. Joy Dish Khushab Quote
