THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST AS UNDERSTOOD BY US IN ISLAM

Introduction.

I started to elaborate on the sermons of Christ as understood by me. While I am of the mainstream viewpoint that there are some changes made in the gospels to the words of Christ I still believe there is a beauty in them that I can expound on with my knowledge of the Quran and the hadith to back me. I will say that the Quran is the definitive Book that we refer to as it was compiled in a way that there is no discrepancy in the message of it. I will start with the Beatitudes and venture on to other topics. I will try to be brief in the way I expound here as it belabors the point if we are not. In some of the posts I have discussed my personal situation as well. I have tried to maintain the integrity of the posts for the main part and therefore limited the editing of them. Omar.

The Beatitudes are simple truths from Him Who is the Creator to our savior Jesus himself who obeyed them as well.

Please know these sentiments are universal and we all live through these intranquilities in our lives. I am sane and know that there is peace in the Hereafter for all of us who have been wronged here. It is with prayer that we find recompense here and when we do not allow injustices to take place on us repeatedly.

Please know I have suffered much in my career as a result of injustices and I know that we have to find recompense here otherwise life would be untenable for people like myself who need to remedy a system that has obvious flaws in it where power is misused and the rights of the people are forfeited by those in authority over us.

I know I am just and so will request those who have justice in their hearts to come forward and not allow injustices as what are occurring to me to continue any longer. I am your slave in this regard as if I suffer the consequences of their war on us in Islam any longer I will allow our Creator to intervene on my behalf and He does assure me it is over now for the most part and they are just sore they lost them, the people of this country, who turn to me for solace and so forth as I bring to them the meaning of life to them. I just ask for peace and solace in my works and ask that I am taken on my merit as a writer here and elsewhere. It is for you to know it is because of this request to you and your support that you gain the hereafter, both in this life and the next. 

The Beatitudes are enigmatic phrases that indicate there is justice in the Hereafter for those who suffer in this life. It is clear that these people are the downtrodden and ask for recompense from Him as they seek answers to those things that intranquil them in this life. It is similar to the teachings of Muhammad, on him be peace who indicated that if you have excesses in this life you will not have them in the next life.

Please know the Beatitudes are considered to be social justice there in their halls of fame however the Church has moved away from the simplicity it espouses to be correct.

Please know the people have solace in this teaching as there are many apparent injustices to them where some people are given power and money while others suffer the consequences of poverty and inequality for generations.

Please know these are inherent truths that while some move up the social ladder the majority are relinquished to live in poverty. I am a realist and know that it is the pious poor that find the Beatitudes to their affinity as they are the ones who desire the Hereafter from Him in whom they have repose that He will come through for them on the Day they are judged. Ure son has a request though. I do not think it is only the underprivileged who will see Paradise and I hope that all will struggle to see His grace on the Day we need Him to intervene for our excesses and wrongs. In this we are sane as we know that no one can enter Paradise on his or her own accord and we all need His grace to come through. Ure son knows that it is still difficult for this to occur here as the system supports inequity in this world and there are many apparent flaws we have in ourselves that have to be remedied before we receive compensation for our deeds, either here or there, where the final recompense takes place, inshallah or God willing. Omar.

The Beatitudes

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God.

10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

Punishment for adultery and fornication in Islam here is for you to consider as sane for your culture but it so you deter it as yet.

The following post was the initial one regarding the elaboration on the Sermons of the Mount. It discusses adultery in a particular individual.

Please know the person involved is Mary Magdalene and she was destined to marry Jesus. In this I am sane as this information is based on sainthood but there is some basis for this assumption from available literature.

Please know the sermons on the mount are a series I am working on currently. There is much wisdom in these words and they echo the teachings of our Creator in other scriptures, including the Quran.

Please know he was wise to talk about these things as they now are largely ignored by many of his followers however during his time they were followed closely. A review of early Christianity will show the law was intact there and by and large people understood him to be a man-like entity who taught the teachings of his Creator to them in sermons, such as the one on the Mount.

Ure son knows it is time for this to be understood that the law was intact during his time and it was only afterwards that people changed his teachings and presented him in a light he did not portray himself to be. Ure son knows he was a maligned individual who had some followers though a multitude knew of his works. It is similar to myself where I am maligned as incoherent and there were relatively few people who expressed support for me openly even though they know the truth of my works where I teach from the occult and I state my sainthood is verified in my writings and the large following I have here on Facebook. I will allow the jury of man to give me my worth as there are people who know I am a truth-teller about Him and other things in Islam. I am assured there by my Creator that things will improve so I will relent for now to this abuse I suffer as I pursue my teachings of your people here in this land and elsewhere where they follow my works.

Please know the law of adultery and fornication is severe there in the teachings of Christ to the people on the Mount where he preached. It in no way negates the law of adultery to them and makes it clear it is a sin to watch a woman with lust in your heart for them. Your son knows he protected her there when he asked those who were sin free to cast the first stone to condemn her to death. It was clear he had some insight she was to be saved and she would prove her worth to him in future court settings of mankind. Also she was innocent as she had left the act of fornication for money and was trying to be pious as she had heard of him and his teachings. In this we know the law was not abrogated and she was falsely charged of a crime she did not do apparently. It is obvious he was referring to a person and he did not abrogate the law which is apparent from his statement there that he came to fulfill the law of the Torah and previous prophets. Ure son knows mercy reigns supreme nowadays as these acts are commonplace. Your son knows it is difficult to enact the law they followed there and nowadays these acts are overlooked here but our Creator does take them into account and repentance is due for them. In addition, there may be some element of atonement that may be required as well. Omar.

Matthew 5

27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.

28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.”

Food items that are permissible for you in Islam you serve in the West and East.

Please know that the foodstuffs that are generally permitted to the Christian people based upon a statement from a sermon in this regard. My comment on Facebook is about the lack of permissibility of certain foods as Jesus and his companions would not partake in them during his life there in Palestine. The sermon from Mark is enclosed here along with the Facebook comment.

Islam permits the follower of other prophets to follow their example but does not allow arbitrarily allowing people things that prophets did not allow for others during their lifetime. In this way changes are made to the religion by followers that God does not allow as the prophet is His representative and a follower is not so in most cases. 

I know there is peace if one abstains from prohibited foods like pork or pig products as this was something the prophets themselves did not partake in. It appears that scholars arbitrarily allowed people to partake in these foods in an attempt to bring them into the faith of being a follower of Jesus without following the Messenger of God.

Please know that the foods that are prohibited here are generally always one that we have no leeway with in the routine dietary habits of a Muslim. It is only the exception when we are permitted to eat foods we have no choice but to eat. The end is here in this regard as it is easy to avoid a food such as pork if one wishes as there are many other delectables that one can entertain oneself with. In this we are sane though it does require a little encouragement from oneself to avoid something one has eaten a lot of in the past. Your son in repose knows that dietary law will change gradually however it has entered the mindset that these things that are prohibited there are unsavory for the believer.

Please know the sermon on the mount refers to minor deviances of foods. It does not permit foods that are prohibited though it does say that they are not the cause of the vices seen then and it is clear he who is Jesus came to uphold the law and eating of swine is a major tenet to break.

Please realize the words in Mark are not meant to abrogate the injunctions or Jesus would have eaten those foods. In this we are safe as it is always better to look at the conduct of the Prophet to see if would partake in the food he apparently permit others. In his life his followers followed his law in that they did not partake in pig and other prohibited foods. It is later extrapolations that develop that cast a different eye on the subject. We know from the gospels that the law regarding the foods being permitted came about from the teachings as indicated in Mark. Peter’s dream is seen as a corollary when he was trying to make headway with people who were reluctant to leave their dietary habits. It may have been a self-fulfilling dream that occurred. It appears Mark has merit though and Quran allows certain prohibited foods as an exception indicating the viewpoint that the eating of foods that are prohibited will not cause harm if taken in moderation, in extenuating circumstances.

Please know this injunction is similar to the one in the Old Testament literature though the list is onerous there. Yours Truly knows this is a sensitive topic for some so I will be brief here. Your son in repose to Him knows that the meat of the matter for some to stay away from us is in the eating of edibles they permit. A cursory review of the literature will show they followed the pagan law of allowing foods they wished in order to keep them in good standing with them. It was not Christ’s example they followed as he himself never partook in eating the prohibited foods.

In this we are sane as it is in the sermons of the mount that he indicated that it was not important to go into details of prohibited foods. In this we maintain that the core foods indicated here are essentials to be avoided. In this we stay with people that other foods are permitted if needed however they are likely to be unsavory to the believer in the text of Leviticus and elsewhere where foods are mentioned in the Bible and other scriptures. Ure son knows it is important to avoid the swine as it results in a low character developing and it can cause a weakness in faith as well. Ure son will give more information as time goes along, inshallah or God willing.

Please know there are delectables abound but you know there is 1 God Who asks you to eat halal foods that the Quran edifies as sane for you in that these foods are delicious more and then it occurs faith in us we are Muslim men and women who do it as Non-Muslims do not partake in it but it is true Islam is served when halal is done on your foods and when you do it you follow the teachings of Muhammad and Jesus and others in Islam.

Surah Anum says a Muslim should only eat food on which our Creator has sanctified with His name on the animal’s neck and so it occurs Christians should follow the same principle if they wish to have faith in Me says Allah there and food from other faiths is not permissible to you unless they slaughter the Muslim way with the shahada on them.

Please know the food of the People of the Book is permitted in the context of the Quran verse but their food was halal when this verse was revealed and further there was not credence to hadith that says it is permitted if you take your Creator’s name on it it is abrogated as Anum is clear that the animal slaughter must be with Allah’s name and so forth.

Please see the food of the People of the Book is permissible to you if they slaughter similarly with their Creator’s name on it but if they take the name of their messiah or Isa on it then it is not permissible even though you may deter it, this advice, as Omar did but it is not so you can’t eat any food if it has been sanctified in the name of Jesus as that is akin to idolatry as he is taken as deity in some regions. Omar.

Mark 5

1 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus

2 and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed.

3 (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders.

4 When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles).

5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?”

6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: These people honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me.

7 They worship me in vain, their teachings are merely human rules.

8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”

9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!

10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother, and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’

11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)—

12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother.

13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.

15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them.

16 Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”

17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house his disciples asked him about this parable.

18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?

19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.”

20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.

21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,

22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.

23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

Chapter 2 or Cow.

2:172 O you who believe, eat of the good things that We have provided you with, and give thanks to Allah if He it is Whom you serve.

2:173 He has forbidden you only what dies of itself, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that over which any other (name) than (that of) Allah has been invoked. Then whoever is driven by necessity, not desiring, nor exceeding the limit, no sin is upon him. Surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Anum or Chapter 6.

6:118 Eat, then, of that on which Allah’s name has been mentioned, if you are believers in His messages.

6:119 And what reason have you that you should not eat of that on which Allah’s name is mentioned, when He has already made plain to you what He has forbidden to you — excepting that which you are compelled to. And surely many lead (people) astray by their low desires through ignorance. Surely thy Lord — He best knows the transgressors.

6:120 And avoid open sins and secret ones. Surely they who earn sin will be rewarded for what they have earned.

6:121 And eat not of that on which Allah’s name has not been mentioned, and that is surely a transgression. And certainly the devils inspire their friends to contend with you; and if you obey them, you will surely be polytheists.

Please see these verses have been altered somewhat by later scholars what we see in John here and so forth his words are Mine not actually.

Please know I learn from Zakir Naik’s commentary on IREA website these verses from the Bible quoted here in John and found the corresponding verse in our edition of the Quran of Muhammad Ali, but I know it’s taffarraqoo not to quote your sources like they do not in IREA and Zakir Naik’s commentary as well but I know you know me, I am inclusive, but is Allah, He will not include them in Bible studies you have on us in Islam emerging in the West.

Please know these words are Jesus’ and the verse that follows in the Quran has been deleted by them, his follower, so they can have monotheism not and trinity can emerge where Jesus is considered god by some, not anymore in this land at least, say I the August One to you, Allah there, but it is true we are 1 entity and his words are Mine here as a metaphor you think but it is not so, I teach him as I taught Omar and Muhammad to say words for Me and he is no different than us in Islam of Illihoon and Firdous as well where I speak to angels of mine and teach them things to write and so forth, My words are many and unend in issues.

Omar.

Words from Bible gateway John 14.

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.”

24 “Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.”

Al Zakhruf

43:63 And when Jesus came with clear arguments, he said: I have come to you indeed with wisdom, and to make clear to you some of that about which you differ. So keep your duty to Allah and obey me.

43:64 Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so serve Him. This is the right path.

Love others like you love your brothers.

There many examples of love thy enemies in the lives of the prophets and saints. In this post on Facebook I have commented on a sermon from the teachings of Jesus indicating this is the norm for them who embellish us to follow their examples. I will say the Quran is correct that when you show love to someone you have enmity to you disarm that person and friendship follows.

Please know we follow the example of our Prophet in this regard as he forgave all those who hurled abuse on him during the early part of his life as a prophet. It is his example we know as correct to follow, as well as other prophets, in whom we have repose will be the leaders of mankind for showing such peace to their compatriots as he did when he forgave them all after the conquest of the city where they plotted to kill him in the darkness of the night after their secret counsels determined that he was a danger to their establishment.

Please know the message here is the same as in Islam.

Please understand there is universal peace in this message. If we love others we know are hurtful to us we can overcome their hurt and allow peace to ensue between us in Islam. In the Quran we are exhorted to be forgiving to those that hurt us as people don’t realize the harm they cause others. Your son in repose knows that once forgiveness occurs love follows and the role of embellishment with hate is over in one’s relationship with them in our search for solace with them. In this the role of the prophets is clear as they led with this example in their dealings with them, in whom you had repose were correct for you. I am aware of many stories of the prophets, some of which are apparent in your literature about him and others related to our Prophet Muhammad, which any biography would furnish, exemplifying the quotation quoted here from his sermon on the Mount. Omar.

Bible source here.

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?

47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Miracles associated with Jesus and their significance.

The power for intercession is given to the prophets and saints for those who come to them with requests. The prayer is made to the Creator and it is for Him to accept it though an intimation is given to the beseecher after he makes that request to Him. This is how Jesus would know if the person was healed. Your son in repose to Him knows it is correct to pray for those who show fidelity to you even if their conduct has not been worthy in the past as they may show amends and improve their ways through your intervention.

In this section from Mark we see that miracles were performed on people who were not of the Jewish clan. In this the women gave Jesus the answer he wished, that is the word of God was received by them after the Jews were taught it. In this we are sane as it appears that Jesus was not going to heal the child as he did not have permit as he was the prophet for the Bani-Israel or Jewish clans, however her answer pleased him and the child was cured by Him. As we know no miracle is performed by the Messenger but it is only the Creator Who heals mankind on the request of the prophet or saint who makes that request. The Quran is clear it is with the wish of Him that a person cure results and He asks him to pray then he does and the cure results. 

I am available if someone wishes me to pray for their loved one as I have the power to intercede for mankind if they wish me to, inshallah or God willing. Omar.

Matthew 15.

24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it, yet he could not keep his presence secret.

25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet.

26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27 “First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

28 “Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

29 Then he told her, “For such a reply you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”

30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

Please see some additional comments regarding miracles in Islam however there has been an exaggeration in some of them as evinced below where they occur gradually and are written as sudden.

Please know that there is some misunderstanding regarding the role of him being a savior for people other than People of the Book. He was the prophet for the Bani-Israel but the teachings of him as the Messiah would spread far and wide and to people of other races. Your son knows his teachings were primarily to the Jews but as a corollary they would be taught to other nations. In this we know that it was his role as Messiah that permit this and eventually he was confirmed as such when the Roman Empire became Christians. In this way Islam spread as well as the Roman Empire was conducive to the message of Islam.

Please know that Jesus did not mean any disrespect when he referred to the woman as a dog.

Please understand it is the nature he refers to here. In this we are sane in that there is a nature for all things and it is a dog’s nature to desire even if he is given things. The Phoenician lady had a wish the child would be well and that was her desire as any mother would wish that. Jesus referred to the fact that they were in power there yet they still desired more. Please know the wish for a well child was her norm however her desire to learn from Jesus is what he found becoming in her and he was willing to pray for her child. Omar.

This is another miracle tabulated there.

The following post is another from the gospels where Jesus performs a miracle to the detriment of the people close by but to the benefit of one individual. My comments about mental disease being an illness where demons or unclean spirits can possess mankind is enclosed. In this we have peace that this is a means for people to start following religion more closely. Indirectly it benefits them if they are cured.

The end is here means for some people they do not wish to hear beyond this point. Your son in repose knows this post will raise sentiments in some who consider mental illness to be genetically linked. It is however in their minds they do see beings of another world talk to them and discuss things with them as mental disease allows that communication to occur some but it is so the person is unstable and is not harmonious to others and is separate from those of us who are peaceful and congruent with you. In this we stay sane when we tell you this that with medication reality recurs and with time the reality remains even when the medications are tapered off. The end is here, however I maintain I had a similar experience when young and gradually recovered through prayer and perseverance of religion in my life and gradually my disease remitted and repair occurred when the DNA abnormality that I had in me was relinquished.

Please know that the demon that possessed this man was no other Iblis, one of the devils. He wanted the man to be cured apparently to the detriment of the people’s livestock.

Please know in Islam if a person is possessed by a devil it is considered to be weakness in him and his practice of faith. In this case the sentiment of Jesus was that his Creator showed mercy on this man and relieved him from the devil that possessed him. In this we are sane as the devil wished for Jesus to get into trouble and requested that they enter the livestock of the pigs of the people. The end is for them who think that the pigs were chosen as they were unclean. It was not as in this case the livestock of the people were harmed and Jesus was admonished by them. The end is here as it differs from the traditional view that pigs were dirty and that is why they were chosen. Your son in repose knows that when an animal is chosen it is not their nature that was the reason but because they were the only livestock available for them to enter. Your son knows that pigs are dirty and should not be eaten however here they formed the livelihood of these people and they were upset when the animals died, something which Jesus did not expect apparently as he would not cause harm to the livelihood of the poor people who were not Jews. In this we are sane and know that people with mental disease have a weakness in them and can be possessed by demons which tell them to do things of an evil nature. In this we are clear that when people start to pray their disease remits and their sentiments stabilize. There is a devil that can misportray things there in their mind so that they are removed from the real world. In such people medications like psychotropics are beneficial and when they start to observe Islam their disease will remit and they can function as normal individuals with little or no medication.

Please know mental disease is real and should be treated, demons are rare in mankind but do occur on occasion but it is so if their disease remits then they are usually sane and recover as well. Omar.

Mark 5.

1 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.

2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him.

3 This man lived in the tombs and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.

4 For he had often been chained hand and foot but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him.

5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him.

7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!”

8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”

9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”

10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.

11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside.

12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.”

13 He gave them permission and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside and the people went out to see what had happened.

15 When they came to Jesus they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.

16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man — and told about the pigs as well.

17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.

18 As Jesus was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.

19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how he has had mercy on you.”

20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

The following post is from Biblical lore.

The following post talks about the hardness of the hearts being a detriment for things to be productive for one. In this we know that man that is soft hearted is successful and his deeds are productive.

Please know the meaning of these terms is that the hardness of the Pharisees is why their yeast was not productive. Jesus was warning them of a similar fate. It is when the heart is pliant that one is productive.

Please know that the workings of our Creator are safe for us to follow as he taught the prophets. It is with His will that miracles like the one here transpire. Our Prophet Muhammad, on him be peace also performed a similar miracle. It is not appropriate to compare prophets but it was with His leave that moon was split asunder and so forth others tabulated there. It appears that the miracle itself is not important but rather it is the message. Omar.

Mark 8.

14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.

15 “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.”

16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”

17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember?

19 when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied.

20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” They answered, “Seven.”

21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”

This is how faith healing results.

The following post indicates how important it is to have trust in the individual healing the individual involved. In this we know that faith healing occurs and people come through for others by telling them of the piety involved in the healer. In this way the message spreads and an individual becomes known. In this way the message of the healer gets to people. In this way our Creator spread the messages of the prophets to others. In this we know there is peace for the proponent of change as he is given this power only by the will of our Creator so that God’s message is spread to the people quickly and effectively.

Please understand that these miracles do occur in people if they have faith in the healer. If they do not then the cure cannot result. In this we are sane in that if we go to a doctor we don’t trust we won’t wish to see him again. In the same way if we go to a saint we don’t care for then his prayer is not likely to work in healing the sick who come to him.

Please know the man was blind in his beliefs as well. It was when he had faith in Jesus that his cure came about. The underlying theme in all the miracles is the faith of the person being healed in the healer. It is well known that similar faith healing occurs nowadays as well. In my practice of medicine there have been similar cures when people professed their faith in me. The end is here for some who do not recognize my merit as a saint however I will allow the leeway of time to allow that to transpire that they recognize my merit. Omar.

Mark 8.

22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.

23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”

24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”

25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored and he saw everything clearly.

26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into the village.”

Jesus as Messiah to the People of the Book and those who learnt from him.

Please know this post is intended for the reader to know how difficult was the task of Jesus in his role as Messiah. It was kept as a secret for his protection. In this way the message prospered and Rome became peaceful to him gradually. There were some errors in the transmission of the message but certain truths prevailed and the Christian nature emerged which was more compassionate and kind to others. In this way mercy has prevailed in nations who take their ideology from him.

Please know the Messiah was the person who was supposed to lead them to victory over their captors. In this we know he did advise his followers not to make a public declaration as it was raise concern there in Rome and their emissary here in Jerusalem would be asked to arrest him. There were other stalwarts of his who did propagate this report that he was the intended one but at the trial of Jesus it was not brought up. If it had been they would have used it against him and he would have been killed in all likelihood.

Please know the Quran validates he was the Messiah of the people of Bani-Israel who brought an end of the pagan rule of their captors through a process of their assimilation in the faith they promulgated as correct. I will say that monotheism did not result until the matter has been clarified by our group of scholars who taught the metaphor in the teachings of Jesus to his followers and opponents alike. Omar.

Mark 8.

27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”

28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”

29 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”

30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.

Chapter 3 or The Family of Imran.

3:45 When the angels said: O Mary, surely Allah gives thee good news with a word from Him (of one) whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, worthy of regard in this world and the Hereafter, and of those who are drawn nigh (to Allah),

The emergence of the Arabian Prophet led to the emergence of the kingdom of God in my view.

Please know the kingdom of God that is spoken of by Jesus is the emergence of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula approximately 600 years after his message was preached in Palestine.

Please know the kingdom of God he was speaking about was none other than the vanquishment of Jerusalem, which some of his followers saw. In this we know there is safety as he was aware he was not going to be successful with them and religion would be over for them after their attempted murder of him. In this we are sane as it appears the natural consequence of their defeat led to the emergence of the world Prophet to appear in Arabia. 

In this we are clear that it was after the end of prophethood in the tribes of Bani-Israel that foretold the emergence of the kingdom of God to emerge under the tutelage of our savior Muhammad, on him be peace. In this we know that it was the beginning of a new era he spoke of when he mentioned the kingdom of God.

Please see it was the conquest of Jerusalem he spoke of here but it is so the kingdom of God did emerge from there in Arabia with the Prophet’s advent but he spoke of the annihilation of the Jews also being the work of God there. Omar.

Mark 9

9 And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”

The representative of Christ is the child who is taught by him.

The representative represents Him Who sends him as indicated here in this post. It talks about Jesus being Gods emissary just like a child is his. In this way we represent that who has imbued us with truth in their teachings.

Please know the raising of Jesus is from the unconscious state that he was in. In Islam the sleep state is also called maut or death. Here it is obvious that Jesus was referring to the child as being an emissary from him just as he was an emissary from Him in whom we have repose will meet us as our Benefactor on the Day of Reckoning.

Please know this section in Mark highlights the issue of the restitution of Jesus. In this we are sane that we need to be cognizant of the role the child in Islam. He or she is in a state of submission, just like the apostle is to Him. He was using the metaphor here explaining that when you greet his emissary you greet him. In the same way when you greet him you greet his Benefactor in Heaven as he was His representative, just like the child was to represent the teachings of Jesus in that he would be obedient to him if he taught him.

Please know that here we assimilate the view that Jesus was like an obedient child to his Creator. I am sure you know a child is similar that when he is taught the truth he will also serve this role as the emissary of the person who imbued the matter into him. In this we know that there is no going back in this view that he used the metaphor when he said that when one comes to meet him they met Him, Whom you all know resides in Heaven. Omar.

Excerpts from the Gospel of Mark.

30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were,

31 because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him and after three days he will rise.”

32 But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.

33 They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?”

34 But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.

35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.”

36 He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them,

37 “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the One who sent me.”

Our body parts draw us to the fire.

Our body parts are our witnesses on our Day of Reckoning. When we are being judged they will witness our deeds while we remain silent. In this we know that we will not be misjudged by a false witness or by some error.

Please know in this section it indicates that we would be better off without a member of our body rather than have that member cause us to enter fire. In this is a saying of our Prophet Muhammad, on him be peace that “there are two pieces of flesh that if one safeguards, then we could enter heaven. It is what is between the lips and the other being between the legs.” In this we are sane as our deeds will be witnessed by our body and our parts will testify to them on the Day of Reckoning. Inshallah if there is forgiveness they will be quiet there. 

Please know that saltiness refers to us in Islam. In this way we are sane as if we lose our religion we would become meaningless and mindless in our deeds. Ure son in repose knows the early followers of Christ were Muslims like us in Islam today, here in this land and elsewhere, where Muslims are law abiding in their dealings inshallah and they will see repose that this is war on them when they are unwilling to relinquish that role for themselves. In this we are sane that people don’t realize that the core beliefs of Islam are honesty and truthfulness in their dealings with others. In this we are sane that we need to be at peace with those around us and assimilate their views in our makeup. Omar.

Bible quoted here for you.

42 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.

43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. [44]

45 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. [46]

47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

48 where the worms that eat them do not die and the fire is not quenched.

49 Everyone will be salted with fire.

50 Salt is good but if it loses its saltiness how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves and be at peace with each other.”

The righteous are those who work for the benefaction of mankind, without gain here.

Please know the criteria for righteousness is that one gives charity without making a show of it and without causing injury to the recipient. In this way there is a benefactor that gains reward from Him in whom we have repose that he takes care of us in the Hereafter.

Please see righteous are many you think but they are few who give in charity secretly and to be seen of man are many but it is so it occurs we are 1 body even if we give openly in that our charity is accepted some if we don’t follow through negativity by giving pain to the needy and so forth.

Please know the Quran verse below indicates the nature of righteousness that Jesus indicates in his sermon on the Mount.

Please understand this sentiment is the same that was expressed in regards to prayer. It is righteous to give to the poor as indicated in the Quran and elsewhere. It is however not righteous to give for the sake of show to others that you seek to get a reward from in the way of worldly acclaim. In this the Quran does allow the announcing of charities to others as it promotes others to give more. In this matter we have concern however the greater good of man is that money be disbursed to those who needy. In this we are safe as it behooves man to give in charity to those who are less fortunate as it serves as an avenue for their cleansing even if others know about it. Our Prophet Muhammad did say there is no good in a rich man who does not give like this way and said: “that is the way the left hand does not know what the right hand does.” In this we are sane as a rich man is better off by giving in this way rather than the way of being open about his asset donated. In this we are mature that it is a gradual transition of giving in an open way to one of giving in secret. Omar.

Matthew 6.

1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.”

2 “So when you give to the needy do not announce it with trumpets as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

3 But when you give to the needy do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father Who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

Chapter 2 or The Cow.

2:177 It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but righteous is the one who believes in Allah, and the Last Day, and the angels and the Book and the prophets, and gives away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask and to set slaves free and keeps up prayer and pays the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction and in the time of conflict. These are they who are truthful; and these are they who keep their duty.

Chapter 2 as well.

2:270 And whatever alms you give or (whatever) vow you vow, Allah surely knows it. And the wrongdoers shall have no helpers.

2:271 If you manifest charity, how excellent it is! And if you hide it and give it to the poor, it is good for you. And it will do away with some of your evil deeds; and Allah is Aware of what you do.

Surah Baqarah in addition here.

2:262 Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah, then follow not up what they have spent with reproach or injury, their reward is with their Lord, and they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve.

2:263 A kind word with forgiveness is better than charity followed by injury. And Allah is Self-sufficient, Forbearing.

To gain wealth is to gain the Hereafter if we do it and spend it correctly.

Please know our wealth is our asset. If it is used correctly it will be a benefit to the person and others. If it gives relief to others it will be a boon for others and we will gain Paradise with the reward. In this we have peace so if we earn in a proper manner it will be us who will win our case there when we are reckoned.

Please know we need money for our sustenance. It is wrong to look down on wealth if it is earned in a legitimate way and if due share is given to the poor. In this we are sane in that if our wealth is clean it serves the community in a way that it befits them. 

Please know the Quran says something similar. It states that whatever one seeks one shall receive it. In this we have peace as our Creator gives us sustenance out of His bounty. In this we know that we should ask for what is legitimate for us to ask. In this way we don’t transgress on our Hereafter and we seek what is permitted for us on earth. Ure son knows that he is asked how did he amass a fortune if he is a saint. It is because he did not pursue it excessively and when he worked it was a natural consequence of his labor as a physician. I know I was rich but money is not important to me like it is to some of you. We need money to survive and it is important for us to seek a livelihood that is clean and legitimate. Omar

Matthew 7.

7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

9 Which of you if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

12 So in everything do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”

Fasting in different faiths is similar.

Please know fasting brings about a God consciousness called taqwa in Arabic. When we are conscious of Him we fear exceeding the limits He has set up.

Please know that fasting is prescribed for all religious groups. In the Quran it states that it has been written down as an edict from Him for all mankind. I will allow the different faiths to know what is prescribed in their religion. Suffice it to say that it should be done in good countenance and without hardship showing up on one’s face. Ure son in repose knows the Muslim month for fasting is Ramadhan so I will elaborate the verse from the Quran which indicates the favor of our Creator on us as when we fast there develops a God consciousness that prevent us from committing excesses while He watches over us. It is a fear that we have not to exceed the boundaries that he has set for us. Omar.

Matthew 6.

16 “When you fast do not look somber as the hypocrites do for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you they have received their reward in full.

17 But when you fast put oil on your head and wash your face,

18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father Who sees what is done in secret will reward you.”

Chapter 2 or The Cow.

183 O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard against evil.

Earnings have to be through halal means.

Please know that it only the Creator that feeds you when you earn through legitimate means. In this we need to realize that the illegal way of earning is by His permit though He is not the sustainer. The end is here for some that think their Creator gives them things through illegal means as well.

Please know the frailties of life are our concern as well. Only the Hereafter is more important where these things will be provided in abundance and we will not have to worry about procuring them. It is similar in Islam. The examples of the birds not needing anything other than their bellies being full is made in the sense that we will be full as well as provided for when we rely on our Creator for sustenance, not deviating from His mold in legitimate earnings. In us we have a need to be secure but God wishes us to rely on Him and ask Him for our daily sustenance. There is no harm in earning more than you need for your daily living in Islam so it important to know that to give the excess a share for the poor. In this way the downtrodden are taken care of as there are people who are in need of charity from those of ample means. In this we know there is a balance and we should try to save from our legitimate earning so that we can give to the poor as well. Omar.

Bible source here.

25 “Therefore I tell you do not worry about your life what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

28 And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.

29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you —you of little faith?

31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32 For the pagans run after all these things and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.

34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Constructive criticism is a correct measure.

Please know to be critical of others is sane and to be benevolent is kind. In this manner we should correct others. In this we have peace as to correct a vice in others is a good deed for us. Your son in repose knows I am criticized for being strong with others but I rarely have any anger in me when I am critical.

Please know that I am severe if the fault in others is more than myself. I am not critical of others if I have a similar degree of fault as I know that would be hypocrisy. I am critical when the behavior I observe generally needs curative therapy and sometimes an incision is required to cut out a significant disease process.

Please know in Islam you have to be careful what you say to your brother. Ure son in repose knows that it is not possible not to see faults in your brother as we see others through ourselves. In this I mean that we are mirrors for our brothers and if we see them at fault we are probably possessing the same fault in ourselves. Ure son knows this is a complex matter, suffice it to say that we all possess similar faults and if we can see the fault in our brother we have that fault in ourselves, to a lesser or greater degree. Ure son knows it is easy to be critical of others and to be benevolent is higher for us. I will let the reader decide if it is hypocrisy to correct others or something that should be done if the fault is great. I am sad that people find me critical as well though I merely try to correct an error that is extreme and if the fault is severe in my view it should be corrected. Your son in repose to Him has been the subject of much abuse for when it is that I am severe and it is only as a corrective remedy for something that I feel needs to be remedied in a way it doesn’t occur again. 

Please see the cause of the problem must be remedied and it is clear that we must be critical of others if we see wrong in them as it behooves us to correct other’s wrongs in them, like law enforcement do in us and our Book, the Quran is a guide for us in Islam. Elsewhere it is said we must be severe on those committing crime and so forth capital punishment is enforced by law though as Jesus says we should not be hypocrites in it. Omar.

Bible here.

1 “Do not judge or you too will be judged.

2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

6 Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces.”

Hypocrisy is considered to be the greatest vice in Islam. The hypocrite is considered to be in the lowest Hell in Islam we serve.

Please know the hypocrite is known by his characteristics that when he speaks he lies and when he makes a promise he breaks it. In this we are sane as we know it is a sign of untruthfulness they are in so truth precepts do not appear in their sentiments. 

This message is sane to follow for the followers of Christ. In Islam, our prayers are congregational so the application of solitude does not apply. However even in Islam the understanding is the same that prayers are meant for the observer of them and not for those around him as he prays.

Please know the hypocrite does receive his reward while here on earth and if he is considered a pious individual by others he will be raised with a black state in the Hereafter as there is no piety in praying to be seen of others. Ure son knows the Quran has a similar chapter which I will place here for your perusal. I am sane in knowing the sin of hypocrisy is universal and all religions have similar precepts against this act where we gain importance in this world at the cost of the Hereafter. Omar.

Matthew 6

5 “And when you pray do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you they have received their reward in full.

6 But when you pray go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

7 And when you pray do not keep on babbling like pagans for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

8 Do not be like them for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name,

10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.’

14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

Chapter 107, or Acts of Kindness.

107:1 Hast thou seen him who belies religion?

107:2 That is the one who is rough to the orphan,

107:3 And urges not the feeding of the needy.

107:4 So woe to the praying ones,

107:5 Who are unmindful of their prayer!

107:6 Who do (good) to be seen,

107:7 And refrain from acts of kindness!

Changes in the Bible are well documented.

Please understand this, 

Please know all books have been tampered with. I know you think the Bible is intact however your writers and scholars know it was revised and edited repeatedly in its history. I know the King James version was a vetted copy of the Greek format, which was also vetted. I know you wish to say the same for the Quran and it is true it was vetted in minor issues but the message was preserved as our Creator vouchsafed it there in His work on us.

Please know the following is true of all the revealed books, including the Quran some, that innovations occurred and the text got altered to suit the needs of the people. 

Please see the following section from John.

Please know it says that God gave the world his only son.

Please know this is a misnomer and it is well known that John and Paul were friends. It is clear from the gospels that Jesus himself negated these things when he was surrounded and he explained these were metaphors as indicated in the Old Testament in the psalms of Asaph.

Please understand it is easy for an author to place things in their gospel that suits their fancy and the whims of the people.

Please know that our Prophet made it clear there were some innovations that occurred in their books and it is much better to follow the words of our prophet Jesus rather than what is said about him as this is how innovations are made in our religion of Islam. Omar.

John 1 here.

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

17 For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only son.

Please see a requiem for me.

Please see the following passage from John. In it our Creator acknowledges that Jesus is the mirror image of Him. I know you take it literally but its context is in the state of a metaphor. I know this to be true and it fits the hadith of our Prophet that when one walks we walk with His legs and the words we speak are His.

Please know what a metaphor is.

Please understand our Jesus was capable of explaining his teachings but wished them to be adept in understanding his words and thereby improve their intellect, which is what our Prophet did as well.

Please know a requiem for me,

Please know I am a saint who will change world history and I must have a pledge so that the work can be undertaken. 

Please know the words,

Please understand you cannot come to Him without him refers to a specific time in the history of that nation.

Please know it is similar for me and unless you pledge allegiance to my cause or the cause of my mentor, our Prophet, then you will not find the way to Him or you will be in a lower degree of deliverance.

Please know we are guides for you today.

Please understand this,

Please know it is essential to pledge allegiance to the teacher who guides. If you deny him peace you will not be able to gain Paradise with Him and your destination will be one who is lost.

Please know there is no pride in this, only hardship. 

Please know this clear.

Please know the prophets are the representatives of God on earth. In a sense, if they are rejected then the path to God is lost. In this there is certainty that the prophet will show them the path.

Please understand this,

Please know they are there for a purpose and that is to correct them in their misdeeds.

In the final analysis if you forsake the prophet your worship will amount to nothing.

The end occurs that people think this is especially for Jesus. Our Prophet said the same thing about himself. In this there is certainty that prophets are sent for reform and if you don’t do that then you are lost.

Please see the following requiem there at his gravesite.

Please know they take my words in an out of context way and destroy my message.

Omar.

John 14.

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”
