begotten any nor is he begotten. Nor is there anequal to him.(Quran Chapter 112)

Iama JealousGod.Isaiah 42:8 Iam the lord thatis myname; andmyglorynotgive to another, neithermypraise to graven images.

Greeting(Bible and Quran agree on the same greet £The greeting of Muslim are commended by Islam andthe Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It is asslam aly Kummeaning peace be with you.In the bible from the old time all the prophets use thesame greeting for others.Genesis 43:23 "and he said, peace be to you

Judges 6.23 and the Lord said unto him, peace be untoyou fear not you shall not dieLuke 24:36 and as they thus spake, Jesus himself stoodin the midst of them and said un to them peace be untoyou.John 20·19 came Jesus and stood in the midst, andsaid unto them, peace be unto youJohn 20.26 then came Jesus, the doors being shut, andstood in the midst, and said peace be unto you.Luke 10:5 and into what so ever house you enter, first

sa. oeace be to this house.

Ablution (Wudu)ordered in both Bible and Quran)

5ef re we Muslim start our ritual prayer five times a day-nust wash our hand mouth, face and feet. Now we

_ to holy bible and check what it says .30: 19· 20 Aaron and his sons are to wash

::-.er hands and feet with water from it. Whenever theyer er the tent of congregation, they shall wash witha ersothattheywill notdie.

40: 31 and Moses and Aaron and his sons..sed it to wash their hands and feet. They washed

enever they entered the tent of meeting orapproached the altar. As the Lord commanded Moses.

Prayere commandment by both holy books)

Islam Muslim pray five times a day in their prayer theystand, kneel down (Ruku) and prostrate (Sajda) lets see

at the Holy Bible and Jesus (pbuh) say about thisstanding before the God in prayer was also verycommon practice

'020:13 and all Judah stood before the Lord with• eir little ones, their wives, and their children.

1 26 I am the woman that stood by thee hereoraying unto the lord

J 20 job also stand up and pray to Lord13W: 5:5 the Jew used to pray in standing and

display their piety. Jesus condemn the pride but notthe praying in standing.

I< 1.25 and when you stand praying.

Kneel down in praying or (Ruku)There are many prophets prayed to God almightywhile kneeling down

"'nieI6:10 Daniel pray to God almighty facingJerusalem on his knees three times a day. ( likeMuslim does five times a Day facinq Mecca)

a m 95:6 0 come, let us worship and bow down,let us kneel before the Lord our maker.C 5 7:60 Stephen cry loud and kneeled down to

Godcts 9:40 Peter also kneeled down and pray to God

Also see act 20:36 Ephesians 3:.14

Prostration or (Sajda)There are so many verses in old and new testaments iwill try to give you some from both.Every Prophet pray to God almighty in prostration likeMuslim does in his prayer.Genesis 17:3 and Abram fell on his face and Godtalked with him3enesis 24:52 and when Abraham servant heardtheir words, he worshiped the Lord, bowing himself tothe earth.

tthew 17:6 and when the disciples heard it, theyfell on their faces.atthew 26:39 and he (Jesus) went little father, and

fell on his face, and prayed.

Fasting(Bible and Quran gave the samecommandment)The holy Quran says about fastingo believers fasting is prescribed for you as it wasprescribed for the people before youHoly Quran 2:183The old testament and the new testament is filled withverses about fasting. I will try to give some of theverses

odus 34: 28 and he was there with the lord fortydays and forty nights he did neither eat bread, nordrink water.

alms 35:13 - but as for me, when they were sick,my clothing was sackcloth: i humbled my soul withfasting; and my prayerehemiah 1:4 - and it came to pass, when i heard

these words, that i sat down and wept, and mourned[certain] days, and fastedatthew 9:14 - then came to him the disciples of john,

saying, why do we and the pharisees fast oftaUhew 4:2 Jesus fasted forty days (Muslim

trying to do the same and fast for 30 days)ark 9:29 - and he said unto them, this kind can

come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.uke 2:37 She serve God with fasting and prayers

onnthians 7:5 give your self in fasting and prayer3.3 when they fasted and prayed and laid their

ands on them.

Prohibition of AlcoholIe and Quran both strongly forbid)

We all know that Islam prohibit alcohol in every formand shape. Let us see what is the holy bible andJesus Christ (pbuh) has said. There are more than75 verses in the holy bible that prohibit alcohol but iwill try to give some references.

cus 10 :8-9 and the lord said to Aaron, youand your sons are not do drink wine or otherfermented drink when ever you go to tent of meetingor you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for thegeneration to come.

teronomy 32:33 wine is the poison of serpents.ages 13:4 and drink not wine nor strong drink,

drunkennessCorinthians 5:11 do not associate with a Christian

if he is a drinkerCorinthians 6:10 drunkards will not inherit the

kingdom of God.

Prohibition of Pork(Both holy books also strongly forbid)

euteronomy 14:8 swine is unclean unto you.You shall not eat their meat and touch their deadcarcasses.eviticus 11; 8 their flesh shall you not eat, and their

carcase shall not touch; they are unclean to you.saiah 66: 17 eating pig's flesh and the abominationand mice, shall come to end together, declares thelord.ark 5:13 Jesus (pbuh) drowned 2000 pigs in the

lakect 10:14 Peter never eat pork.

Circumcision(Both holy books have the samecommandment)Genesis 17: 14 and God commended Anraham andsaid all man and child should be circumciseGeneses 21 4 and Abraham circumcised his sonIsaac being eight day old.Exod s 12 8 Lord commanded Israel let all themales be circumcisedColossrans 4. 11 Jesus called his only fellowworkers those are circumcisedLuke 2: 21 when Jesus was eight days old he wascircumcised.

Blasphemy(Both books have the same b asLeviticus 24:16 and he that blasphemeth thename of the lord, he shall surely be put to death,and all the congregation shall certainly stone him.Matthew 12: 31 Blasphemy against the holy ghostshall not be forgiven unto menMark 3:29 You blaspheme against the holy ghost,God will never forgive youLuke 12:10 and whosoever shall speak a wordagainst the son of man, it shall be forgiven him: butunto him that blasphemeth against the holy ghost itshall not be forgiven1 Timothy 6:1 that the name of God and his doctrinebe not blasphemed.

Head covering (Hijaab)(Both holy books command the sa "forwomen)Genesis 24: 65 she took her veil and coveredherself.1corinthians 11: 5 and every woman who prays orprophesies with her head uncovered dishonors herhead.1corinthians 11: 6 if a woman does not cover herhead, she should have her hair cut off ; and if it is adisgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shavedoff , she should cover her head.

Polygamy(Bible agrees with Quran on polygaMyThose people who critcize Muslim that they areallowed to have four wives but they don't read the holybible which is filled with many verses of polygamy.First i will give you a verse from the holy quran wheremen are allowed and the condition is givenMarry the women you like and who are lawful for you,two or three or four (but this sanction is conditional onjustice) but if you fear that you will not be able to treat(more than one wife) justly, then marry on lone

o oly bible- a~;:: amech took unto him two wives:

the a-e::" --5 "e "was] adah, and the name of the

e marries another woman ,he mustno: cez .e --e =;s: e of her food, clothing and maritalrig.

- and jehoiada took for him twowives:

ment in the Holy Biblein both books)

esus (pbuh) said if your right hand:0 sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is

• r yOU 0 lose one part of your body than foryour'. e body to go into the hell.

again Jesus (pbuh) said if your eye,hand or '00' causes you to sin cut off it is better foryou an going whole body in hell fireJesus order to kill his enemies

but those enemies of mine who did notwant me to be king over them bring them here and killthem in front of me

Muhammad (pbuh) in the BibleAt last i will show you some of the verses in the biblethat explain of coming of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)even he is mention by his name in existing Holy Biblein Hebrew language.S 5. 16 Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)is mention by his name but they translate his name asall together lovely but in Hebrew Bible his nameMuhammad is thereDt.. 8,19 I will raise up for them aprophet like you (Moses) from among their brothers(not among themselves, and arab are the brother ofthe jews) i will put my words in his mouth, and he willtell them everything i command him. If anyone doesnot listen to my words that the prophet speaks in myname. I my self will call him to account.Dear friends if you read the holy Quran 113 chapterout of 114 start with in the name of God mostcompassionate, ever merciful.Also God almighty talking about raising a prophet butChristian believes Jesus as a God or son of God notthe Prophet. So he can not be Jesus but Muhammadonly (pbuh)John Jesus said" I will pray the Godalmighty and he shall give you another comforter, that

he may abide with you for ever (Prophet Muhammadis the last messenger to man kind)John 16: 12-13 i have much more to say to you,more than you can now bear. But when he the sprit oftruth (prophet of truth or sadiq and Amin) comes, hewill guide you into all truth. He will not speak on hisown he will only speak what he hears and he will tellyou what is yet to come. And he shall glorify me .

. Here Jesus (pbuh) talking about no one else but the, prophet Muhammad (pbuh) not and sprit or soul. This

is a unique verse in the bible whre you see Jesus usethe word he seven times taking about a man not asoul or spirit also he said he will tell you everything isyet to come and glorify me, and the teaching of theprophet Muhammad (pbuh) who did glorify Jesus(pbuh) there is a whole chapter in holy Quran praisingthe Mary the mother of Jesus (pbuh). But we don'tfind any chapter like this in the holy bibleAlso Jesus speak about how you find the true Prophetfrom false Prophet that will come after him inMatthew 7: 15 -17 and then he explain that you shallknow them by their fruits good tree will give you goodfruit and the evil tree will bring evil fruits. And youlook at the teaching of Islam and judge yourself

Warning of Jesus (pbuh) to hisfollowers

If you continue to hold on my teaching then youare really my disciples. John 8:31(Not Only Believe In Him)Not everyone who says to me, lord, lord, willenter the kingdom of heaven, but only he whodoes the will of my God who is in heaven.Matthew 7:21

Respected readers now you have realized·thatall the basic teaching of Islam are the same as theHoly Bible and Jesus (pbuh) has commanded.

Muslim believe in the word of God almighty andtry to follow it, and the followers of the Holy Bibleshould also understand and follow thecommandment of God almighty.

May the God almighty guide us all to the truth (amen)
