Answer 2

Dear Babi: No one ever mentions or thinks upon Ishmael. When Abraham sent him away, due to the animosity growing between his children, Issac and Ishmael, the child was to take the establishment of One God to the other parts of the world around Egypt in North Africa. Ishmael, it is my belief, is the Founder of Islam. Although scriptures do not exist from Ishmael he carried the belief of one God to that part of the world.

I don't believe Muhammad created Islam. He TOOK Islam (i.e., it already existed) and brought it to the peoples of Arabia - self proclaiming himself to be the next prophet after Jesus - AND, insisting under his own authority that the peoples of Arabia become followers, or die at his Sword. Many died at his Sword for not being willing to listen to him. He was quite forceful about his beliefs - upon others.

My point is, Ishmael had been appointed by God and it had been told to Abraham that Ishmael would carry the belief of One God to that part of the world. He must have done so, because the belief in Allah is the belief in one God and there are many parallels between Islamic belief and Christianity - their recognition of Jesus for instance.

Without scriptures from Ishmael's life's journey - we don't know exactly all that he established. But Muhammad did not create Islamic religion. He took it and forced it upon many in the Arabic part of the world - with a vengeance. It is certainly truth that he is responsible for the strength and visible rise of Islamic belief - by comparison to the lesser dominance of that religion, prior to him.
But, Islam existed before - long before - Muhammad.

No one knows exactly what all Ishmael did. . .

Best regards, Lana

Answer 3

None the Bible was written before the quran Islam showed up about 4 centuries later.

Answer 4

The Bible does not refer to Islam, since Islam is the youngest religion. It came much later.

Answer 5

Nothing in the Bible refers to the Quran. Muslims often cite Jesus's words in the gospel where He spoke of sending us a comforter. They claim that this comforter is Mohammad. But if you read the rest of the Bible, the comforter is the Holy Ghost, who Jesus sent to us after He went back to heaven.
Here is what the Christian Bible really says about Mohammad:

Galations 1
6I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

that's pretty plain and easy to understand.

Answer 6

Isaiah 14:

"You will recite this parable about the king of Babylonia: How has the oppressor come to an end, the arrogance been ended? They will all proclaim and say to you, "You also have been stricken as we were; you are compared to us. Brought down to the nether-world were your pride and the tumult of your stringed instruments; maggots are spread out under you, and worms are your covers. How have you fallen from the heavens, O glowing morning star; been cut down to the ground O conqueror of nations?"

Answer 7

Not one single letter of the Holy Bible refers to Muhammed and his inventions (quran, allah, islam, etc).

Oops. Unless you're referring to the false prophets.

Answer 8

Lectio Divina is Latin for “spiritual reading” and represents an early monastic technique of prayer which continues in practice though less widely, intended to achieve communion with God as well as providing special spiritual insights and peace from that experience. It is a way of praying with Scripture that calls one to study, ponder, listen and, finally, pray from God's Word.

History
Lectio Divina was first expressed in the year 220 AD. It was found that to read the Bible profitably it is necessary to do so with attention, consistency and prayer. The systematization of “spiritual reading” into four steps dates back to the 12th century. Around 1150, Guigo II, a Carthusian monk, wrote a book entitled “The Monk’s Ladder” (Scala Claustralium) wherein he set out the theory of the four rungs: reading, meditation, prayer and contemplation. In 2005, Pope Benedict XVI stated, “This is the ladder by which the monks ascend from earth to heaven.”

Method
Lectio is typically practiced daily for one continuous hour. A selection from the Holy Scriptures is chosen ahead of time, often as a daily progression through a particular book of the Bible.

Time
Selecting a time for lectio divina is important. Typical methods are to pray for one hour in the morning, or to divide it into two half-hour periods, one in the morning and one in the evening. The key is to pre-select the time that will be devoted to the prayer, and to keep it. Using the same time every day leads to a daily habit of prayer that becomes highly effective.

Place
The place for prayer is to be free from distractions. This means it should be isolated from other people, telephones, visual distractions, etc. Some find a religious icon to be helpful. The same place should be used for lectio if possible, especially as one first begins to practice it. Familiarity with a location reduces the possibility of distraction away from the prayer. Some practitioners conduct other devotions, such as praying before the Catholic Eucharist, as a preparation for Lectio Divina.

Preparation
Prior to reading, it is important to engage in a transitional activity that takes one from the normal state of mind to a more contemplative and prayerful state. A few moments of deep, regular breathing and a short prayer inviting the Holy Spirit to guide the prayer time helps to set the tone and improve the effectiveness of the lectio.

Once the stage is set it is time to begin the prayer. There are four phases of the prayer, which do not necessarily progress in an ordered fashion. One may move between different phases of the prayer very freely as the Spirit guides.

The Four Moments
Lectio
Read the passage several times.

Meditatio
Reflect on the text of the passage, thinking about how to apply to one's own life. Gravitate to any particular phrase or word that seems to be of particular import. This should not be confused with exegesis, but is a very personal reading of the Scripture and application to one's own life.

Oratio
Respond to the passage by opening the heart to God. This is not primarily an intellectual exercise, but more of the beginning of a conversation with God.

Contemplatio
Listen to God. This is a freeing oneself from one's own thoughts, both mundane and holy. It is about hearing God talk to us. Opening our mind, heart and soul to the influence of God. Any conversation must allow for both sides to communicate, and this most unfamiliar act is allowing oneself to be open to hearing God speak.

Answer 9

since the Quran was written after the bible
and Mohammed born after the death of Jesus
there would be no reason to have mention of this in the bible

Answer 10

Not one line in the entire Bible.
