​Isaac vs Ishmael: The Biblical Roots – God’s Plan vs Human Error​​​

The story of Isaac and Ishmael begins with Abraham, chosen by God to father nations (Genesis 17:4-5). Yet their paths clash: God’s perfect plan flows through Isaac, while human impatience spawns Ishmael. Scripture is clear—Isaac carries the covenant; Ishmael does not (Genesis 17:21).

​

Isaac: The Child of Promise

Isaac, born to Sarah, Abraham’s free wife, was God’s miracle: “Sarah shall bear thee a son… and I will establish my covenant with him” (Genesis 17:19, 21:2-3). Barren and aged, Sarah laughed in doubt (Genesis 18:11-12), yet God prevailed. Isaac’s line—through Jacob (Israel)—led to Jesus Christ, the Immanuel (“God with us”) of Isaiah 7:14 (“A virgin shall conceive”), born in Bethlehem as foretold (Micah 5:2). “In Isaac shall thy seed be called” (Romans 9:7-9) marks him as grace and faith’s vessel (Galatians 4:28)—God’s path to salvation.

​​​​​

Ishmael: Born of Haste

Ishmael, son of Hagar the bondwoman, arose from human haste. Doubting God’s promise, Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham (Genesis 16:1-4, 15). The angel warned, “He will be a wild man; his hand against every man” (Genesis 16:12). God blessed Ishmael—“Twelve princes shall he beget” (Genesis 25:16)—and sustained him in exile (Genesis 21:14-21), but declared, “My covenant will I establish with Isaac” (Genesis 17:20-21). His mockery led to expulsion (Genesis 21:9-10), his descendants becoming the Arabs. He represents the flesh, not the promise (Galatians 4:22-31). Islam errs, claiming Ishmael as the sacrificial son (contradicting Genesis 22:2) and rejecting Jesus as God.

​​​​​​​

Divine Consequences: The Perils of Straying from God's Plan

Sarah and Abraham’s choice to bypass God’s plan defied His will. Galatians 4:22-23 states, “The son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise.” This wasn’t mere strife—it birthed a divide. Ishmael’s line, though blessed, veered from the covenant, later spawning Islam—a faith Christians see as rooted in that error. God warns: stray from His design, and nations may wander lost.

​​​​​

The Divide Endures:

Both sons buried Abraham (Genesis 25:9), but their legacies diverged—Isaac’s seed birthed Israel, leading to Christ, while Ishmael’s became the Arabs, apart from the covenant. This split echoes today, with God’s plan through Isaac standing as the ultimate truth over Allah’s claims.

Jesus: Witnessed by Thousands

Jesus Christ’s life was no secret—His works, words, and resurrection were seen by masses, recorded by multiple authors, and confirmed by history. The Bible overflows with evidence:

• Miracles in Public: He fed 5,000 men (plus women and children) with five loaves and two fish, leaving 12 baskets of leftovers (John 6:10-13). Thousands witnessed this.

• Healings and Power: He healed the blind (John 9:1-7), raised Lazarus before a crowd (John 11:43-44), and calmed storms with fishermen watching (Mark 4:39). These weren’t private claims—multitudes saw them.

• Resurrection Witnesses: After His crucifixion, over 500 people saw Him alive (1 Corinthians 15:6). His disciples, once afraid, died proclaiming this truth—Peter crucified upside down, Paul beheaded. No one dies for a lie they know is false.

• Historical Records: Even non-Christian sources like Josephus (Antiquities 18.3.3) and Tacitus (Annals 15.44) confirm Jesus lived, died under Pilate, and sparked a movement that wouldn’t fade.

• Scriptural Testimony: The New Testament’s 27 books, penned by multiple authors within decades of His life, align with Old Testament prophecies (e.g., Psalm 22’s crucifixion details, fulfilled in Matthew 27). The Nag Hammadi texts, though not canonical, show His widespread impact.

​​​​​​​​

Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). His life backs this claim—thousands saw Him, and His Spirit transforms lives today. Baptism, as He modeled (Matthew 3:16-17), seals this faith publicly: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved” (Mark 16:16).

​​​​​​​​​

Allah and Muhammad: No Witnesses, One Man’s Word

Contrast this with Allah’s revelations in Islam—delivered through Muhammad alone, with no one to confirm them:

• The Cave Incident: In 610 AD, Muhammad claimed an angel (called Gabriel) appeared to him in a cave on Mount Hira, giving the Quran’s first verses (Surah 96). No one else was there. No crowd, no second witness—unlike Jesus, whose every step was seen.

• No Miracles: The Quran admits Muhammad performed no public signs: “They say, ‘Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say, ‘The signs are only with Allah, and I am but a clear warner’” (Surah 29:50). Compare this to Jesus, whose miracles validated His words.

• No One Saw Allah: Islam teaches Allah is unseen in this life: “Vision perceives Him not, but He perceives all vision” (Quran 6:103). Even in dreams, scholars debate if Muhammad saw Allah or just light (Sahih Muslim 263). No one—ever—testified to seeing Allah with him.

• One Man’s Claim: The Quran’s authority rests on Muhammad’s private experience. Compiled after his death, its earliest manuscripts (e.g., Sana’a) show edits, unlike the New Testament’s rapid, multi-sourced documentation.
   

If this angel was Gabriel, why deny Jesus’ divinity (Quran 5:75), when Gabriel announced His birth to Mary (Luke 1:26-38)? The Bible warns, “Satan disguises himself as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). Without witnesses, how can anyone trust Muhammad’s story over Jesus’ public proof?

​​​

🔥 The Cave Encounter: Was It Gabriel or Lucifer?

If the angel in the cave was truly Gabriel, why would he contradict his own message from centuries earlier? When Gabriel appeared to Mary in Luke 1:26-38, he proclaimed Jesus as the Son of God, the Eternal King, and that He would be conceived by the Holy Spirit. But the Quran, which Muhammad claimed was revealed by Gabriel, denies all of this:

1. Denies Jesus as the Son of God – “The Messiah, son of Mary, was only a messenger” (Quran 5:75)

2. Rejects the crucifixion – “They did not kill him, nor crucify him” (Quran 4:157)

3. Claims God has no son – “It is not befitting for Allah to take a son” (Quran 19:88-92)

Would God’s messenger contradict himself? Impossible! This means that the "angel" in the cave was not Gabriel—but a deceiving spirit.

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit: The Unforgivable Sin

Jesus warned that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the only unforgivable sin (Mark 3:28-29). Since the Quran tells Muslims not to receive the Holy Spirit, which Jesus said is essential for salvation (John 14:16-17), this is a direct rejection of God’s Spirit.

If Gabriel was truly delivering God's word, he would never blaspheme the Holy Spirit. This means the spirit in the cave had to be Lucifer, who:

• Denies Christ’s Sonship (just like in Islam) - (Submission)

• Opposes the Holy Spirit (just like in Islam) - (Muhammad's death in 632 CE & Extended Ai chat, 620 years after Christ)

• Disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14)

Paul warned, "Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!" (Galatians 1:8).

What Guides Muslims?

Jesus guides believers through His Spirit in their hearts (John 14:26, Romans 8:9-11). But what guides Muslims?

1. Fear of Hellfire (Surah 4:48 – Shirk [denying Allah’s oneness] is the worst sin!)

2. Obedience to Rituals & Laws (Quran 3:19 – Islam means submission)

3. The Hadith & Scholars’ Opinions (no personal relationship with God)

Islam offers no personal guidance from the Holy Spirit—the very Spirit that Gabriel himself proclaimed in Luke 1:35.

Without the Holy Spirit, there is no salvation. Without Christ in your heart, there is no guidance. 🔥 (VIDEO) 🎬

Gabriel: Messenger of Truth or a Deceiver?

The Bible presents Gabriel as a holy messenger who stands in the presence of God, delivering revelations that align with His redemptive plan. In contrast, the Islamic Gabriel allegedly brought a contradictory message to Muhammad—denying Christ’s divinity and crucifixion. Was this truly Gabriel, or was it an impostor? (Bible Verses About Gabriel)

Biblical Gabriel: Proclaiming Jesus

• Luke 1:19 – "I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings."

  • The Gabriel of the Bible proclaims good news—God’s salvation through Jesus Christ.

• Luke 1:26-38 – Gabriel announces to Mary that she will conceive the Son of God by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35).

  • How could the same angel later deliver a message (Islam) denying Jesus' sonship?

• Daniel 8:16; 9:21 – Gabriel provides clarity, ensuring God’s people understand truth, not confusion.

The Islamic “Gabriel”: A Different Spirit?

Islamic records show Muhammad’s first encounter with the so-called "Gabriel" in the cave of Hira was terrifying:

• Muhammad feared he was possessed by a demon (Hadith, Bukhari 9:87:111).

• Unlike the public, verifiable messages delivered by biblical angels, Islam’s Gabriel spoke to Muhammad alone, without witnesses.

• The Quran’s message contradicts biblical revelation (denying Jesus' crucifixion – Quran 4:157).

The Bible Warns Against False Spirits

• 1 John 4:1 – "Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

  • Muhammad’s private revelation is exactly what this verse warns about.

• 2 Corinthians 11:14 – "Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

  • Could the "Gabriel" in Islam have been a deception by Satan to lead people away from the true Gospel?

Jesus vs Muhammad: Public Truth vs Private Claim

• Jesus performed miracles publicly, proving His divine authority (John 6:10-13, Mark 4:39).

• Muhammad had no miracles (Quran 29:50) and relied on one man’s testimony.

• Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection were witnessed by thousands (1 Corinthians 15:6).

• Muhammad’s encounter in the cave was unseen and unconfirmed—making it impossible to verify.

Conclusion: Who Was This “Gabriel” Really?

The angel that appeared to Muhammad contradicted scripture, denied Christ’s divinity, and led billions away from the Gospel.

• Was this the same Gabriel who proclaimed Jesus as the Son of God?

• Or was it, as the Bible warns, a false spirit disguising itself as light (2 Corinthians 11:14)?

The evidence points to a deception, making Islam’s Gabriel not a messenger of God, but of confusion.

​

Gabriel Would Never Deny Jesus

From an analysis of 100 Bible verses related to Gabriel and angels, the biblical evidence overwhelmingly confirms that Gabriel would never tell Muhammad (or anyone) to reject Jesus Christ. Instead, every biblical mention of Gabriel aligns with God’s redemptive plan, affirming Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior.

1. Gabriel Always Proclaims Jesus as the Messiah and Son of God

• Luke 1:26-38 – Gabriel announces to Mary that she will conceive the Son of God, Jesus:

  • "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High." (Luke 1:32)

  • "The Holy Spirit will come upon you... the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God." (Luke 1:35)

  • → If Gabriel publicly declared Jesus as the Son of God, how could he later tell Muhammad that Jesus is not God’s Son? (Extended Ai chat)

• Daniel 8:16; 9:21-27 – Gabriel reveals to Daniel the prophecy of the coming Messiah:

  • “Seventy sevens are decreed… to bring in everlasting righteousness.” (Daniel 9:24)

  • “The Anointed One [Messiah] will be put to death.” (Daniel 9:26)

  • → Gabriel foretells Jesus’ sacrificial death, which Islam explicitly denies (Quran 4:157).

2. True Angels Worship Jesus, Not Deny Him

• Hebrews 1:6 – "Let all God’s angels worship Him [Jesus]."

  • → True angels worship Jesus, but Islam’s Gabriel denies His divinity.

• Revelation 22:8-9 – John falls before an angel, but the angel corrects him:

  • "Worship God!"

  • → Biblical angels only serve God—they would never tell someone to reject Him.

3. No True Angel Would Preach a False Gospel

• Galatians 1:8 – Paul warns:

  • “Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under God’s curse!”

  • → Islam preaches a different gospel (denying Jesus' Sonship and resurrection).

  • → If the real Gabriel appeared to Muhammad, he would have confirmed the same Gospel he delivered in Luke and Daniel.

• Luke 2:10-11 – The angel (possibly Gabriel) declares the birth of Jesus:

  • "I bring you good news of great joy… A Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord."

  • → The true Gabriel brings good news of Jesus as the Savior.

  • → The "Gabriel" in Islam denies Jesus' role as Savior (Quran 5:75).

4. The Bible Warns Against False Angels and Deception

• John 14:6 – Jesus: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

  • → Would Gabriel contradict this by telling Muhammad something different? Impossible!

• 2 Corinthians 11:14 – "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light."

  • → If the "Gabriel" in the cave of Hira denied Jesus’ divinity, this was not the real Gabriel but a deceiving spirit.

Conclusion: The Angel in the Cave Was Not Gabriel

✅ Gabriel’s biblical messages always affirm Jesus as the Son of God and the Messiah.
✅ True angels glorify Jesus and proclaim the true Gospel.
✅ The Bible warns that false angels can deceive people (2 Corinthians 11:14, Galatians 1:8).
✅ If the angel in Islam denied Jesus’ divinity, he was not Gabriel but a counterfeit spirit.

The true Gabriel would never tell anyone to reject Jesus because Jesus is the very One he was sent to proclaim. This means the so-called "Gabriel" in Islam, who denied Christ’s divinity, could not have been the real Gabriel—but rather a false spirit leading people away from the true Gospel. 🔥 (VIDEO) 🎬

🕳️ The Cave Was Satan’s Perfect Trap: Lucifer’s Domain Is the Earth

The cave of Hira wasn’t just remote—it was underground, dark, and isolated. This wasn’t a place where light and truth typically dwell. It was a pit—literally and spiritually.

The Bible tells us that Satan, formerly Lucifer, was cast down to the earth and now roams it as his domain:

• “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer... you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.” – Isaiah 14:12,15

• “So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God… I threw you to the earth.” – Ezekiel 28:16-17

• “Whence comest thou?” And Satan answered, “From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” – Job 1:6-7

• “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” – 1 Peter 5:8-9

​

This is critical—Satan was cast down to Earth, and the cave was in his territory.

Muhammad’s Cave Encounter Was Violent and Fearful

According to Sahih al-Bukhari (Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 3) and Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah, Muhammad was physically seized and pressed three times in a row until he thought he would die:

“The angel caught me forcefully and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and again asked me to read... then again he caught me and pressed me a second time... then a third time...” – Sahih Bukhari 1:1:3

​

This was not the behavior of a holy angel sent by God.

Biblical angels always begin by saying “Fear not” (Luke 1:13, Luke 2:10, Matthew 28:5). They comfort and confirm God’s peace. But this being attacked Muhammad with terror and pain.

Muhammad himself feared he was possessed by a jinn (demon). After the incident, he was so traumatized, he ran trembling to Khadija, saying:

“I fear something may have happened to me.” – Sahih Bukhari 1:1:3

And in Ibn Ishaq's biography:

“He intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains.” (Sirat Rasul Allah, p.106)

​

Connect the Dots: Lucifer’s Grand Deception?

If Satan wanted to imitate God, steal worship, and derail billions from salvation in Jesus Christ… what better plan than this?

• Location: Earth, in a dark cave—his domain (Isaiah 14:12-32, Job 1:6-7)

• Tactic: Appear as an “angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14)

• Method: Isolate the man, violently assault him, distort Scripture

• Result: Deliver a message denying Jesus as the Son of God, the Cross, and the Holy Spirit

“I will make myself like the Most High.” – Isaiah 14:14

Could this be the fulfillment of Lucifer’s ambition? Masquerading as “Gabriel”, Lucifer created a new religion that denies the very essence of salvation—Jesus Christ crucified and risen—and now has 1.2+ billion people unknowingly worshiping a false god.

“Even Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” – 2 Corinthians 11:14
“If anyone preaches another gospel… let them be under God’s curse.” – Galatians 1:8

Conclusion: The Cave Was a Demonic Invasion, Not a Divine Revelation

• A real angel from God does not assault the messenger.

• A real message from God does not deny the Son of God.

• A real revelation from heaven does not oppose the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This was not Gabriel. This was not holy.
This was Lucifer, deceiving the world under the disguise of “Allah.” (From our extended theological research and discussion)​

Sam Shamoun: From Islam to Truth

Sam Shamoun, a former Muslim turned Christian apologist, embodies this search for truth. Raised in a Muslim family, he studied the Quran deeply, mastering its text, Hadiths, and Arabic. But he found contradictions—like Quran 4:157 denying Jesus’ crucifixion, against historical consensus—and saw Jesus’ claims validated by scripture and history. Now, he debates Muslims worldwide (e.g., his YouTube clashes with Sheikh Uthman), using his Quran knowledge to expose flaws and point to Christ. His videos—like “Female Muslim CHALLENGES Sam Shamoun | Did Jesus Teach The Trinity?”—show him citing John 10:36 (“Do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?”) and Matthew 28:19 (“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”). Shamoun’s journey and expertise reinforce this truth: facts lead to Jesus.
 

Muhammad: One Man’s Claim

Muhammad’s life and claims stand in sharp relief to Jesus’ public ministry. The facts raise questions no one can ignore:

• Unverified Revelation: His encounter with an angel in 610 AD was private—unlike Jesus, who taught openly (John 18:20). The Quran’s origin hinges on this single, unwitnessed moment. If it’s true, why no confirmation? If it’s false, what spirit inspired it?

• Aisha’s Age: Islamic sources confirm Muhammad married Aisha at 6 and consummated the marriage at 9 (Sahih Bukhari 7:62:64). In 7th-century Arabia, this might have been accepted, but today, it’s a red flag for many. Aisha herself later said Muhammad struck her (Sahih Muslim 4:2127), and Quran 4:34 permits hitting a disobedient wife. “Men are in charge of women… those you fear disloyalty from, admonish them, forsake them in bed, and strike them.” What about “those your right hands possess”—slaves? The Quran mentions them (Quran 4:3, 33:50), implying control, Muhammad’s strike on Aisha and this verse show a pattern—violence sanctioned, unlike Jesus, who elevated women (John 4:27, Luke 7:47-48).

• Violence and Jihad: The Quran commands fighting: “Fight those who do not believe in Allah… until they pay the jizyah with willing submission” (Quran 9:29). Hamas’ actions today echo this call, rooted in Muhammad’s wars (e.g., Battle of Badr). Jesus, though, said, “Love your enemies” (Matthew 5:44), and died for sinners, not against them.

• No Salvation Offered: Muhammad claimed to be a “warner” (Quran 13:7), not a savior. His followers must earn paradise through works, with no assurance (Quran 7:99). Jesus, crucified and risen, offers forgiveness freely (Romans 10:9).

​

Quran’s Roots: From Bible to Quran: Truth Borrowed, Truth Lost.

1. Timeline: Bible vs Quran

The Bible: The Old Testament was written between 1400–400 BC, the New Testament between 45–95 AD, completed by the end of the 1st century AD. Its canon was widely recognized by 325 AD (Council of Nicaea), penned by over 40 authors across 1,500 years.
The Quran: Revealed to Muhammad from 610–632 AD, compiled 650 AD under Caliph Uthman, it rests on one man’s unwitnessed vision.
Time Gap: The Bible was completed by 95 AD, affirmed at Nicaea (325 AD), spans 40+ authors over 1,500 years with eyewitnesses. The Quran… compiled 650 AD, rests on one man’s unwitnessed vision—a 515-year gap from the Bible, ~1,000 years from the OT.

2. Verses and Stories Borrowed from the Bible:

The Quran reworks biblical tales from Arabia’s Jewish and Christian lore, twisting truth:

• Adam & Eve: Genesis 2–3 vs. Surah 2:30–39—no original sin in Islam.

• Noah: Genesis 6–9 vs. Surah 11:25–48—his son drowns, unlike the Bible.

• Abraham: Genesis 12–22 vs. Surah 37—Ishmael, not Isaac, is the sacrifice.

• Joseph: Genesis 37–50 vs. Surah 12—nearly identical, yet Islam-focused.

• Moses: Exodus vs. Surah 7:103–137—similar, but no covenant emphasis.

• Jesus: Gospels vs. Surah 3:45–47, 4:157—virgin birth affirmed, divinity and crucifixion denied, against history (Tacitus, Josephus) and 500+ witnesses (1 Corinthians 15:6).

• Themes: Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) in Surah 6:151–153; Psalms’ praise (Psalm 19) in Surah 55; Mary’s annunciation (Luke 1) in Surah 19.

3. Jewish Traditions Adopted into Islam:

Living among Medina’s Jewish tribes, Muhammad adopted their traditions, reshaping them:

• Monotheism: Shema (Deut. 6:4) → Tawhid (Surah 112).

• Food Laws: Kosher → Halal (e.g., no pork, ritual slaughter).

• Circumcision: Jewish rite → Islamic norm (Hadith-based).

• Fasting: Yom Kippur → Early Ashura, then Ramadan (Surah 2:183).

• Prayer: Psalm 55:17, Daniel 6:10 → 5 daily prayers.

• Ablution: Jewish purity → Wudu.

• Qibla: Jerusalem (early) → Mecca (Surah 2:144).

• Charity: Tzedakah → Zakat.

• Law: Torah → Sharia.

• Friday Prayer: Sabbath (rest) → Jummah (prayer), missing Jesus as Lord (Mark 2:28).​

🧩 Historical Foundations: Biblical Reliability vs Islamic Construction

📜 Hadiths & Early Islamic History vs Israel’s Biblical History

The contrast between Israel’s biblical history and Islam’s early traditions is striking. One stands on the foundation of eyewitness accounts, archaeology, fulfilled prophecy, and public revelation. The other—Islam—relies on oral traditions, late political compilations, and doctrines shaped by empire-building agendas.

1. 📖 Origins: Revelation or Redaction?

Category Biblical History Islamic Tradition

Authors Eyewitnesses: Moses, prophets, apostle, eyewitness sources for Muhammad’s life

Documentation Written over 1,500 years, preserved in detail Quran compiled decades later; Hadiths 150–200 yrs later

Manuscripts Dead Sea Scrolls, Tel Dan Stele, Merneptah Stele Earliest Quran fragments show textual variations

Fulfilled Prophecy Hundreds fulfilled in Jesus’ life (e.g., Isaiah:53) None verified outside Islamic texts

✅ Key Point: The Bible is historically verified and prophetically proven. The Quran and Hadiths are late, politically filtered, and lack external corroboration.

🔮 2. True Prophets or Fabricated Claims?

The Bible sets a standard for true prophets: their words must come to pass (Deut. 18:22). Prophets like Moses, Elijah, and Jesus proved themselves publicly, often under threat of death.

⚔️ Islamic Prophecies: Late, Vague, or Failed

• Quran 30:2-4 – "Rome will be defeated" (vague, time-bending fulfillment).

• Quran 9:33 – “Islam will prevail over all religions” – still unfulfilled after 1,400 years.

• No miracles during Muhammad’s lifetime (Quran 29:50) – Unlike Moses and Jesus.

⚠️ Satanic Verses Incident: According to Ibn Ishaq, Muhammad temporarily endorsed pagan deities, then retracted. (Quran 53:19–23)

📌 Key Point: Biblical prophecy is clear, testable, and fulfilled. Muhammad’s claims were vague, late-recorded, and contradicted by history.

⚖️ 3. Morality: Conquest vs Covenant

📖 Israel’s Wars

• Divinely ordained and morally limited (Genesis 15:16)

• Not imperial—Israel was forbidden from expanding beyond Canaan

• Prophets rebuked kings (e.g., David with Bathsheba – 2 Samuel 12)

🗡 Islam’s Expansion

• Muhammad led raids, executions, and forced conversions (Quran 9:29)

• Caliphs spread Islam via military conquest across the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond

• No prophetic accountability—only political consolidation

🔥 “He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.” – Jesus (Matthew 26:52)

🧬 4. Theology: Fulfilled Redemption vs Empty Ritual

Biblical Theology Islamic Doctrine

YHWH: covenantal God Allah: arbitrary, distant

Jesus: God Incarnate, crucified, risen Denied divinity, denied crucifixion

Holy Spirit: Living in believers (John 14:17) Reduced to Gabriel

Atonement: Cross-centered redemption (Romans 5:8) No atonement—only works (Quran 7:8-9)

✝️ The Bible teaches grace, redemption, and eternal life with God.
☪️ Islam offers law, submission, and uncertain reward—no personal relationship with God.

👰 Muhammad’s Wives, Aisha, and Women in Islam

📋 Muhammad’s Wives (11–13 total) – with Disturbing Details

Muhammad

• Marriages: Muhammad had multiple wives, which is a well-documented aspect of his life. The number of his wives varies slightly depending on the sources, but the most commonly accepted number is 11. Here is a list of his wives:

1. Khadija bint Khuwaylid (married before his prophethood and until her death)

2. Sawda bint Zamʿa

3. Aisha bint Abu Bakr

4. Hafsa bint Umar

5. Zaynab bint Khuzayma

6. Umm Salama Hind bint Abi Umayya

7. Zaynab bint Jahsh

8. Juwayriya bint al-Harith

9. Ramlah bint Abi Sufyan (Umm Habiba)

10. Safiyah bint Huyayy

11. Maymuna bint al-Harith

❗ Aisha’s marriage is used to justify child marriage in many Islamic countries today.

🧯 Wife-Beating & Violence

🔨 Quran 4:34 – “Beat them [wives] if they disobey.”

• Supported in Sahih Muslim 2127: Muhammad struck Aisha’s chest, causing pain

• No rebuke. No apology. Normalized in Islamic law

🆚 Contrast: “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church” (Ephesians 5:25)

This section unfolds the historical, moral, and theological contrasts—reinforcing the original thesis that Muhammad’s revelations lack the divine fingerprints of Scripture.

Conclusion:

“You shall know them by their fruits.” – Matthew 7:16

“Forever, O Lord, your word is settled in heaven.” – Psalm 119:89
