A question for Muslims?

Question

I'm sorry to say I'm fairly ignorant about your faith, so I may be way off base here.

If you believe Ishmael (not Issac) was the true heir of Abraham and entitled to the "Promised Land",how can you honor Moses and Jesus who were both of the Issac branch of the family?

Answer 1

Islam lays claim to neither Ishmael nor Isaac as the sole beneficiary of Abraham, as they both were. Both were his sons, and both were deserving of whatever God granted them. The only thing disagreed upon by Muslims and non-Muslims regarding Ishmael and Isaac (other than that Ishmael was not worthy of anything, as some believe) was that while it is Christian belief that Isaac was the son Abraham was going to sacrifice, we believe it was actually Ishmael. He was Abraham's only son at the time, so to sacrifice your only son would be extremely hard. I believe the Bible also states that Abraham took his "only son" to be sacrificed, which would indicate that the child was Ishmael, not Isaac. If Isaac had been firstborn, there would be no need for Sarah offering Hagar.

Every prophet of Christianity and Judaism is highly respected and adored in Islam. Each were given something by God to pass to their people in hopes of a better society, and Muhammad, in a sense, 'wrapped it all up'.

Answer 2

Muslims do not honor Issac nor Ishmael, their honor goes to Abraham.

Answer 3

We believe no tribe is entitled to the Promised Land because of their ancestry. We don't view any prophet's status on the basis that just because they come from certain ancestors. It's just that God blessed the tribes of Israel, but they have commited such sins (such as worshipping the golden calf and tried to kill Jesus). In Islam, every tribe, man is the same.

Answer 4

Moses and Jesus (pbat) are prophets. Men that were chosen by God not by man to bring a message to the people of the world.

Answer 5

Muslims should obey God and God stated literally that Muslims should believe and honor each God sent messanger. Also, God literally instructed Muslims not to favor one prophet on another.

Thus we honor them all.

Answer 6

What are the facts about the Jews? (I call them Jews to you, because they are known as Jews. I don't call them Jews myself. I refer to them as so-called Jews, because I know what they are.) The eastern European Jews, who form 92 per cent of the world's population of those people who call themselves Jews, were originally Khazars. They were a warlike tribe who lived deep in the heart of Asia. And they were so warlike that even the Asiatics drove them out of Asia into eastern Europe. They set up a large Khazar kingdom of 800,000 square miles. At the time, Russia did not exist, nor did many other European countries. The Khazar kingdom was the biggest country in all Europe -- so big and so powerful that when the other monarchs wanted to go to war, the Khazars would lend them 40,000 soldiers. That's how big and powerful they were.

They were phallic worshippers, which is filthy and I do not want to go into the details of that now.

But that was their religion, as it was also the religion of many other pagans and barbarians elsewhere in the world. The Khazar king became so disgusted with the degeneracy of his kingdom that he decided to adopt a so-called monotheistic faith -- either Christianity, Islam, or what is known today as Judaism, which is really Talmudism. By spinning a top, and calling out “eeny, meeny, miney, moe,” he picked out so-called Judaism. And that became the state religion. He sent down to the Talmudic schools of Pumbedita and Sura and brought up thousands of rabbis, and opened up synagogues and schools, and his people became what we call Jews. There wasn't one of them who had an ancestor who ever put a toe in the Holy Land.

Not only in Old Testament history, but back to the beginning of time. Not one of them! And yet they come to the Christians and ask them to support their armed insurrections in Palestine by saying, “You want to help repatriate God's Chosen People to their Promised Land, their ancestral home, don't you? It's your Christian duty. We gave you one of our boys as your Lord and Savior.

You now go to church on Sunday, and you kneel and you worship a Jew, and we're Jews.” But they are pagan Khazars who were converted just the same as the Irish were converted. It is as ridiculous to call them “people of the Holy Land,” as it would be to call the 54 million Chinese Moslems “Arabs.” Mohammed only died in 620 A.D., and since then 54 million Chinese have accepted Islam as their religious belief. Now imagine, in China, 2,000 miles away from Arabia, from Mecca and Mohammed's birthplace. Imagine if the 54 million Chinese decided to call themselves “Arabs.” You would say they were lunatics. Anyone who believes that those 54 million Chinese are Arabs must be crazy. All they did was adopt as a religious faith a belief that had its origin in Mecca, in Arabia. The same as the Irish. When the Irish became Christians, nobody dumped them in the ocean and imported to the Holy Land a new crop of inhabitants.
They hadn't become a different people. They were the same people, but they had accepted Christianity as a religious faith.

I'm not Muslim but I know that they consider Jesus as a prophet but not as the son of god.
