The Concept of God – Old and New Testament and Quran Kareem – Monotheism
Dead Sea Scrolls and the Shema (declaration of faith in the Bible)
Why most Christians got the Concept of God wrong – Historical Perspective and theological Changes based on Greek and Roman Idolatry;
Manuscripts Problem – Different Formats of Early Scripture Scroll: a rolled piece of papyrus or parchment. All of the original scriptures were written on scrolls. Codex: a book made up of paper, parchment, or papyrus, with one end bound. Palimpsest: a manuscript page that has been washed off so that it can be reused. Hebrew Scriptures Great Isaiah Scroll, 202-107 B.C., facsimile The Great Isaiah Scroll is one of the original Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1947 and is the most complete of the Hebrew Scriptures Dead Sea Scrolls found in the Qumran Caves. The scroll was written on seventeen sheets of parchment, connected into a scroll. Differences between this scroll and the later Masoretic text are mostly grammatical and spelling differences.
Nabi Eesa-Prophet Jesus spoke Aramaic – and there is No Original 100 percent Aramaic Text; however we will try to extract some passages which Logiacally correspond with each other throughout the “Biblical Connection”;
What is a Manuscript? A manuscript is a hand-written document. The word has its origin in Latin: manu (hand) and scriptum (written). There are approximately 5,800 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. In addition, there are 10,000 Latin manuscripts, and 9,300 manuscripts in other languages. The New Testament autographa, the manuscripts written by the original authors, are unavailable, but manuscripts have been discovered that are dated as early as the 2nd century.

There are 1,276 New Testament papyri, the earliest copies of portions of the New Testament.
The Ten Commandments
20 And God spoke all these words:
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
(Notes: Doesn’t It Seem to You that bowing down – or calling Jesus in Prayer is Worshipping him… seome make his Statues and pray While they also worshipping God -Idolatry…)
בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ – The Shema is the Declaration of Faith (in One Supreme God int he Torah – Old and New Testament);
Monotheism in New Testament:
Only God is good Scripture: Ezekiel 7-8, Psalm 116, Matthew 19 Matthew 19:17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” Mark 10:18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. Observation The rich young ruler approached Jesus and asked, “What good thing must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only One who is good.” There is a slight difference in Mark’s gospel. The young man asked, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered, “Why do you call me good? No one is good—except God alone.” Romans 3:10–12 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; 11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. 12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” No one is good. All of us have turned away. We love the fantasy of human goodness. We say it all the time: people are basically good. Or, “He/she is a good person.” Jesus says, “No one is good, except God alone.” No one is Perfect but God – we are all Sinners in need of repentance;
JESUS about God:
Mathew 7:22 – New International Version Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ – because calling Jesus “Lord” instead of God;
The Trinity is Not Biblical – https://www.ucg.ca/booklets/is-god-a-trinity/surprising-origins-trinity-doctrine – But should we really base our view of God on a doctrine that isn’t spelled out in the Bible, that wasn’t formalized until three centuries after the time of Jesus Christ and the apostles, that was debated and argued for decades (not to mention for centuries since), that was imposed by religious councils presided over by novices or nonbelievers and that was “decided by the method of trial and error”? Of course not. We should instead look to the Word of God—not to ideas of men—to see how our Creator reveals Himself!
Concept of God in Islam
“He is Allah—there is no god ‘worthy of worship’ except Him: Knower of the seen and unseen. He is the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. He is Allah—there is no god except Him: the King, the Most Holy, the All-Perfect, the Source of Serenity, the Watcher ‘of all’, the Almighty, the Supreme in Might,1 the Majestic. Glorified is Allah far above what they associate with Him ˹in worship˺! He is Allah: the Creator, the Inventor, the Shaper. He‘alone’ has the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth ‘constantly’ glorifies Him. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise. (Qur’an 59 – 22/23/24)
Iqaluit Masjid – and Islam in the Arctic
Welcome to Iqaluit Masjid
A project of Islamic Society of Nunavut ® (2009)
Located in the far reaches of the Canadian North, Iqaluit Masjid is the first masjid in the territory of Nunavut. The newly built masjid is a milestone in Islamic and Canadian history for being Canada’s most North-Easterly Mosque.
Islamic Society of Nunavut is committed to sharing the beautiful message of Islam, and gestures of goodwill according to its teachings in the Canadian North. The Masjid holds five time daily prayers, Friday & Eid Prayers, open-houses and other community events. The aim of the establishment is to facilitate the worship of Allah (SWT) according to Quran and Sunnah.
Note about prayer timings: Due to the Iqaluit’s proximity to the North Pole there is an absence of complete dark during the nights in the summers. For this reason, based on various fatawa, the masjid leadership and community agree to follow the salat timings of the closest major city i.e, Ottawa for the purpose of daily prayers and fasting during the month of Ramadan.
The Ummah will reach the East and the West
عن ثوبان رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “إن الله زَوَى لي الأرض، فرأيت مشارقها ومغاربها، وإن أمتي سيبلغ ملكُها ما زُوِيَ لي منها. وأعطيت الكنْزين الأحمر والأبيض. وإني سألت ربي لأمتي أن لا يهلكها بسَنَةٍ بعامةٍ، وأن لا يُسَلِّطَ عليهم عدوا من سوى أنفسهم فيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ؛ وإن ربي قال: يا محمد، إذا قضيتُ قضاءً فإنه لا يُرَدُّ، وإني أعطيتك لأمتك أن لا أهلكهم بسنة عامة، وأن لا أُسَلِّطَ عليهم عدوا من سوى أنفسهم فيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ ولو اجتمع عليهم مَنْ بأقطارها، حتى يكون بعضُهم يُهْلِكُ بعضًا ويَسْبِي بعضُهم بعضًا”. ورواه البرقاني في صحيحه، وزاد: “وإنما أخاف على أمتي الأئمةَ المضلين، وإذا وقع عليهم السيف لم يرفع إلى يوم القيامة. ولا تقوم الساعة حتى يلحق حي من أمتي بالمشركين، وحتى تعبد فِئامٌ من أمتي الأوثان. وإنه سيكون في أمتي كذابون ثلاثون؛ كلهم يزعم أنه نبي، وأنا خاتم النبيين لا نبي بعدي. ولا تزال طائفة من أمتي على الحق منصورة لا يضرهم من خذلهم حتى يأتي أمر الله تبارك وتعالى”.
[صحيح] – [الرواية الأولى: رواها مسلم. الرواية الثانية: رواها أبو داود وابن ماجه وأحمد]
المزيــد …
Thawbān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Allah brought the corners of the earth together for me, so I saw its eastern and western parts. The dominion of my Ummah will definitely reach as far as what was brought together for me (all parts of the world). I have been granted the two treasures, the red and the white. I asked my Lord not to destroy my Ummah due to a common drought nor to afflict them with an enemy from other than themselves who would annihilate them. My Lord said: ‘O Muhammad, when I pass a decree, it is not retracted. I have granted that I will not destroy your Ummah by a common drought, nor will I release against them an enemy from other than themselves, who will annihilate them – even if the people from the surrounding regions join forces against them – until they themselves kill and capture each other.'” Al-Burqāni narrated this Hadīth in his Sahīh with this addition: “I only fear for my Ummah the misguiding leaders. If the sword falls upon them, it will not be lifted until the Day of Resurrection. The Hour will not be established until a community from my Ummah join the polytheists and until large groups from my Ummah worship idols. There will be in my Ummah thirty impostors, each of them claiming to be a prophet. I am the seal of the prophets; there will be no prophet after me. A group from my Ummah will continue to uphold the truth and be victorious, regardless of those who let them down (did not support them), until the command of Allah, Exalted and Glorified, comes.”
[Authentic hadith] – [Narrated by Ibn Majah – Narrated by Abu Daoud – Narrated by Ahmad – Narrated by Muslim]Explanation
Midnight Sun Mosque
[edit]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_Arctic
Russia
Nord Kamal Mosque in Norilsk is the world’s northernmost mosque.[17]
A study from 2019 described Muslim communities in Arctic Russia as “rapidly growing” in the last two decades. An early attempt to build a mosque in a major city (Yakutsk, about 450 kilometers (280 mi) south of the Arctic Circle) failed upon the outbreak of the First World War and the following October Revolution. In 1996, however, it became the site of the world’s largest mosque in the far north, capable of holding 3000 worshipers.[2]
Siberian mullahs since the 19th century were hesitant to recognize distant authority.[2] After the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, three central Muslim directorates competed for control of the Islamic population in Siberia, the far East and the far North; one of these three was absorbed into another, leaving the CDUMR and the Council of Muftis—the latter seen as closely tied to the Russian government.[2] In 1998, the first mosque was built for the industrial city of Norilsk, and by 2007 the Muslims in the city were estimated at 20% of the population, coming from Dagestan, Central Asia and Azerbaijan.[18]
Nearly every Arctic city in Russia has a Muslim presence as of 2019, and the 59 mosques and musallas spread across the Arctic exist in every region except for the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Chukotka.[2] A periodical journal named Islam in Yakutia is printed in Neryungri.[2] In 2014, it was noted that a large number of ethnic Russians in Tyumen, which boasts 30 northern mosques, seemed to be converting to Islam.[19]
Alaska
[edit]
The Islamic Community Center of Anchorage Alaska[21] was the first purpose-built mosque in the US state, with construction beginning in 2010 to replace the musalla in a strip mall that had previously served the 3000 Muslim residents.[22][23][24] Due to the differences in daylight hours between winter and summer, and due to there being no darkness in the summer at night, the ICCAA has adopted Mecca time as its prayer schedule,[25] which has led to some disagreement within the community. Some Muslims opt to pray local time, and estimate the prayer times in the summer when they cannot use the sun.

Kitab at Tawheed – Islamic Monotheism
Kitab at Tawheed – Book of Islamic Monotheism
Say, ˹O believers,˺ “We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to Allah we all submit.” – Surah Baqarah 2:136

Whoever Curses Time Wrongs Allah(swa)
Kitaab At-Tawheed, Chapter: 43 ~Whoever Curses Time Wrongs Allah
Allah (swt ), says:
” And they say: “There is nothing but our life in this world: We die and we live and nothing destroys us except time.” And they have no knowledge of it, they only conjecture” (Qur’an 45:24)
Allah (swt ), Most Glorified, Most High, informs us in this verse about the disbelieving dahris1 from among the Arabs and others, who do not believe in any life, save the life of this world, nor in the Rabb and Creator, Allah (swt ), Most High. They believe that nothing causes death except the passage of time. Then Allah (swt ), Most Glorified, Most High, refutes their claims, saying that they have absolutely no evidence for what they claim, but instead, depend upon surmise and their own vain opinions.
Benefits Derived From This Verse
1. That attributing good or evil to the passage of time is a sign of atheism.
2. Confirmation of a life after death for mankind.
3. That ad-dahr (time) is not one of Allah’s Names.
Relevance of This Verse to the Subject of the Chapter
That the verse rejects those who attribute events to time, for they commit a great wrong against Allah (swt ).
Relevance of This Verse to the Subject of Tawheed
That it rejects those who attribute events to time, because in so doing, they are ascribing a partner to Allah (swt ), for it is He, Alone Who Decrees what will be and what will not be.
..ooOOoo..
It is authentically reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra ) that the Prophet (saas ) said: “Allah (swt ), Most Blessed, Most High, says: “The son of Adam wrongs Me: He curses time, though I am time: In My Hands are all things and I cause the night to follow the day.” 2 In another narration, He (saas ) says: “Do not curse time, for verily, time is Allah (swt ).”
Allah (swt ), Most Glorified, Most High informs us in this Hadith Qudsi, that man commits a great wrong against Allah (swt ) when he curses time and attributes the occurrence of events to it, for Allah (swt ) is the Rabb of time and the Disposer of affairs and it is by His Qadr that events take place. Therefore to curse time is to curse the Owner of time.
In the second narration, the Prophet (saas ) forbids us from cursing time, saying that Allah (swt ) is the Owner of time and the Disposer of it and all events and affairs, and this is confirmation of what was reported in the preceding Hadith Qudsi.
Benefits Derived From This Hadith
1. The forbiddance of cursing time.
2. That no actions may be attributed to time.
Relevance of This Hadith to the Subject of the Chapter
That it proves that to curse time is to commit a great wrong against Allah (swt ).
Relevance of This Hadith to the Subject of Tawheed
That the Hadith proves that cursing time is a great wrong against Allah (swt ), because those who do so believe that it is time which causes events to take place and this is shirk in Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah, for it is Allah (swt ), Alone Who determines events.

Plural marriages in the Bible and Quran Kareem – Polygamy
Plural Marriages in the Bible and Quran Kareem Why do Christians have a Problem with Multiple Marriage? Probably cause most Christians never read the Bible – Christianity, Bible, Islam – Comparisons;
Of course currently there is no Original Torah (of Moses), Psalms of David (Zabur) or Injeel (Gospel) of Jesus – only Quran Kareem is preserved in the Original Revelation /Arabic;
*Old Testament: – Prophet Solomon: 1 Kings 11:3 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV) He had 700 wives, who were princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart.
*Prophet David: 1 Samuel 18:20 (NIV) Now Saul’s daughter Michal was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased. Michal was David’s first wife and King Saul’s daughter. David paid double the requested dowry when he presented Saul with 200 Philistine foreskins for her hand in marriage. Although David’s primary motive for marrying Michal seemed to be for political reasons, the Bible tells us Michal loved David. In fact, Michal’s love for David is the only reference in the entire Bible that mentions a specific woman’s love for a man (1 Samuel 18:20).
2 Samuel 5:13-16 – Prophet David: 13 After he left Hebron, David took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him. 14 These are the names of the children born to him there: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, 16 Elishama, Eliada and Eliphelet.
*Surah An Nisa 4:3 – Quran Kareem; If you fear you might fail to give orphan women their ˹due˺ rights ˹if you were to marry them˺, then marry other women of your choice—two, three, or four. But if you are afraid you will fail to maintain justice, then ˹content yourselves with˺ one 1 or those ˹bondwomen˺ in your possession.
Guidance is from Allah azza wa Jal
You surely cannot guide whoever you love ˹O Prophet˺, but it is Allah Who guides whoever He wills, and He knows best who are ˹fit to be˺ guided. – surah Al Qasas 28:56;
It is not ˹proper˺ for the Prophet and the believers to seek forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were close relatives, after it has become clear to the believers that they are bound for the Hellfire. – surah Taubah 9:113;
(9)
Chapter: Evidence that the Islam of one who becomes Muslim on his deathbed is valid, so long as the death those have not begun; Abrogation of permission to supplicate for forgiveness for the idolators; Evidence that one who dies an idolator is one of the people of hell and no intervention can save him from that
It is reported by Sa’id b. Musayyib who narrated it on the authority of his father (Musayyib b. Hazm) that when Abu Talib was about to die, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to him and found with him Abu Jahl (‘Amr b. Hisham) and ‘Abdullah b. Abi Umayya ibn al-Mughirah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: My uncle, you just make a profession that there is no god but Allah, and I will bear testimony before Allah (of your being a believer), Abu Jahl and ‘Abdullah b. Abi Umayya addressing him said: Abu Talib, would you abandon the religion of ‘Abdul-Muttalib? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) constantly requested him (to accept his offer), and (on the other hand) was repeated the same statement (of Abu Jahl and ‘Abdullah b. Abi Umayya) till Abu Talib gave his final decision and be stuck to the religion of ‘Abdul-Muttalib and refused to profess that there is no god but Allah. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: By Allah, I will persistently beg pardon for you till I am forbidden to do so (by God), It was then that Allah, the Magnificent and the Glorious, revealed this verse: ” It is not meet for the Prophet and for those who believe that they should beg pardon for the polytheists, even though they were their kith and kin, after it had been made known to them that they were the denizens of Hell” (ix. 113) And it was said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): ” Verily thou canst not guide to the right path whom thou lovest. And it is Allah Who guideth whom He will, and He knoweth best who are the guided” (xxviii, 56).

Soul in Islam
The Soul, Sleep and Death in Islam – Quran Kareem
Sahih International: And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, “The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little.” – Surah Isra 17-85;
Sahih International: Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought. Surah Az Zumar 39:42

Qadr/Predestination in Islam
Belief in al-Qadar
Belief in al-Qadar (the divine will and decree ) is one of the pillars of faith. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, when he answered Jibril’s question about faith: “(It means) believing in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers and the Last Day, and to believe in al-Qadar (the divine decree) both good and bad.”
‘Ubadah ibn al-Samit reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, the first to be created by Allah was the pen. Allah told it to write, so it wrote all that will exist until forever.”
Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3319
Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani
عن عبادة بن الصامت عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْقَلَمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ اكْتُبْ فَجَرَى بِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ إِلَى الْأَبَدِ

What is al-Qadar?
What is meant by al-Qadar is that Allah has decreed all things from eternity and knows that they will happen at times that are known to Him, and in specific ways, and that He has written that and willed it, and they happen according to what He has decreed. [al-Qada wa’l-Qadar by Dr ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Mahmoud, p. 39]
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah Almighty created His creation in darkness and He cast over them His light. Whoever is touched by that light is guided, and whoever misses it is led astray. Thus, I say the pens have been dried upon the knowledge of Allah.”
Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2642
Grade: Hasan (fair) according to Al-Tirmidhi
Whoever believes in these four believes in al-qadar.
Reference to Al-Qadar in the Quran
The Quran affirms these things in numerous verses, such as the verses in which He says (interpretation of the meaning):
- “And with Him are the keys of the Ghayb (all that is hidden), none knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is in the land and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but He knows it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry, but is written in a Clear Record” [al-An’am 6:59]
- “No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but it is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz) before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allah” [al-Hadid 57:22]
- “And you cannot will unless (it be) that Allah wills, the Lord of the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)” [al-Takwir 81:29]
- “Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (Divine Preordainment of all things before their creation as written in the Book of Decrees Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz)” [al-Qamar 54:49]
Muslim (2653) narrated that ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘As said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “Allah wrote down the decrees of creation fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth.” He said: “And His Throne was upon the water.”
The Prophet was asked: “O Messenger of Allah, do the verses and supplications we recite and the medicine we take to cure ourselves waive the qadar of Allah?” He replied, “They are themselves from the Qadar of Allah.” (Mustadrak al-Hakim)
Hunger, thirst, feeling cold, are seeks to satisfy hunger through eating, thirst through drinking and coldness by keeping warm. A person seeks to fend themselves from what was decreed for them from hunger, thirst and coldness by what was decreed for them from eating, drinking, and seeking warmth. They seek to prevent one qadar with another.
One must fulfill whatever means are possible to achieve his goal, for the means are also a part of qada and qadr. One becomes pleased with the results (whatever they may be), which in turn produces peace of heart and spiritual comfort.
There is no room for stress, worry, or sadness. It is known that stress and unrest of heart leads to many sicknesses. Having belief in this concept prevents and cures many of these sicknesses. Allah says what means:
No evil befalls on the earth nor in your own souls, but it is in a book before We bring it into existence; surely that is easy for Allah: So that you may not grieve for what has escaped you, nor be exultant at what He has given you; and Allah does not love any arrogant boaster. (Al-Hadid 57:22-23)
Muslim (2653) narrated that ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘As said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “Allah wrote down the decrees of creation fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth.” He said: “And His Throne was upon the water.”
No evil befalls on the earth nor in your own souls, but it is in a book before We bring it into existence; surely that is easy for Allah: So that you may not grieve for what has escaped you, nor be exultant at what He has given you; and Allah does not love any arrogant boaster. (Al-Hadid 57:22-23)
Belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah about al-Qadar
The belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jama’ah is that a person has freedom of will (Choice) , and hence he will be rewarded or punished. But his will is subject to the Will of Allah, and nothing can take place in the universe that is not willed by Allah.
What some people say, that we have the choice to follow whatever path we want but at the end of this path you will find what Allah has decreed for you, is a correct view. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful” [al-Insan 76:3]
“And shown him the two ways (good and evil)?” [al-Balad 90:10]
“And say: “The truth is from your Lord.” Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve” [al-Kahf 18:29]
