When asked how he came to Islam he wrote: “My conversion to Islam cannot be attributed to any cause other than the gracious direction of the Almighty Allah. Without this Divine guidance all learning, search and other efforts to find the Truth may even lead one astray. The moment I believed in the Absolute Unity of God His Holy Apostle Muhammad became the pattern of my conduct and behaviour.” 4 Muhammad in the old Testament Prefatory Remarks: I propose through this article and the ones which will follow to show that the doctrine of Islam concerning the Deity and the last great messenger of Allah is perfectly true and conforms to the teachings of the Bible.

(died 1940c) Former Roman Catholic Bishop of the Uniate Chaldean Abdu'l-Ahad Dawud is the former Rev. David Abdu Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect. He was born in 1867 at Urmia in Persia; educated from his early infancy in that town. From 1886-89 he was on the teaching staff of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Mission to the Assyrian (Nestorian) Christians at Urmia. In 1892 he was sent by Cardinal Vaughan to Rome, where he underwent a course of philosophical and theological studies at the Propaganda Fide College, and in 1895 was ordained Priest. In 1892 Professor Dawud contributed a series of articles to The Tablet on "Assyria, Rome and Canterbury"; and also to the Irish Record on the "Authenticity of the Pentateuch." He has several translations of the Ave Maria in different languages, published in the illustrated Catholic Missions. While in Constantinople on his way to Persia in 1895, he contributed a long series of articles in English and French to the daily paper, published there under the name of The Levant Herald, on "Eastern Churches." In 1895 he joined the French Lazarist Mission at Urmia, and published for the first time in the history of that Mission a periodical in the vernacular Syriac called Qala-La-Shara, i.e. "The Voice of Truth." In 1897 he was delegated by two Uniate-Chaldean Arch- bishops of Urmia and of Salmas to represent the Eastern Catholics at the Eucharistic Congress held at Paray-le-Monial in France under the presidency of Cardinal Perraud.

  • Bible Prophecies of Muhammad (Part 1 of 4): Witnesses of Scholars
    Bible Prophecies of Muhammad (part 1 of 4): Witnesses of Scholars Description: The Biblical evidence that Muhammad is not a false prophet. Part 1: The difficulties faced in discussing biblical prophecies, and accounts of some scholars who attested that Muhammad has been alluded to in the Bible. By Imam Mufti Published on 20 Feb 2006 - Last modified on 24 Jun 2019 Category: Articles >Evidence Islam is Truth > Muhammad in the Bible and Other Scriptures Category: Articles >Comparative Religion > The Bible Category: Articles >The Prophet Muhammad > Evidence of His Prophethood Category: Articles >Evidence Islam is Truth > Evidence of Muhammad’s Prophethood Preliminary Issues The Bible is the sacred scripture of Judaism and Christianity. The Christian Bible consists of the Old Testament and the New Testament, with the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox versions of the Old Testament being slightly larger because of their acceptance of certain books not accepted as scripture by Protestants. The Jewish Bible includes only the books known to Christians as the Old Testament. Furthermore, the arrangements of the Jewish and Christian canons differ considerably.[1] Prophet Muhammad has been prophesized in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Jesus and the Apostles are believed to have spoken Aramaic. Aramaic continued in wide use until about AD 650, when it was supplanted by Arabic.[2] The present day Bible is not, however, based on the Aramaic manuscripts, but on Greek and Latin versions. Quoting the Bible prophecies does not entail that Muslims accept the present day Bible in its entirety as God’s revelation. For the Islamic belief on previous scriptures, please click here.

  • MUHAMMAD in the BIBLE INTRODUCTION the Idea That the Bible Contains Prophecies About the Coming of Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), May Surprise Many People
    MUHAMMAD IN THE BIBLE INTRODUCTION The idea that the Bible contains prophecies about the coming of Muhammad (peace be upon him), may surprise many people. It isn’t dicult to understand why, since the general perception people have of Muhammad (pbuh) is that of a man with no connection I to Biblical Prophets or prophecies. However, taking a closer look at Muhammad’s (pbuh) life, it becomes clear that he upheld the basic tenets that the Biblical Prophets came with, and led millions to do the same. Indeed it is because of the teachings of Muhammad (pbuh) that billions of Muslims, since his time and until today, have revered the persons of Jesus, Moses and Abraham (peace be upon them all). In this booklet, you will discover how both the Old and New Testament contain numerous verses which describe the coming of a new Prophet. Additionally, verses from the Bible itself will clearly show us that Muhammad (pbuh) is that Prophet. JOHN AND THE PRIESTS According to Deuteronomy 18:18, God speaks to the Prophet Moses In the Chapter of John, some Jewish and tells him that He will raise up a new Prophet who has certain priests quizzed John the Baptist clearly identifiable characteristics: about three people whom they were informed about in their Scriptures. I will raise up for them a Prophet like They asked him: you from among their brethren, and ‘Who are you?’ will put My words in His mouth, and JJohn confessed (he didn’t deny but confessed), ‘I’m not the Christ.’ He shall speak to them all that I They asked him, ‘Then who are you? Are you Elijah?‘ command Him.

  • Iraq and the Assyrian Unimagining: Illuminating Scaled Suffering and A
    Iraq and the Assyrian Unimagining: Illuminating Scaled Suffering and a Hierarchy of Genocide from Simele to Anfal by Sargon George Donabed A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto © Copyright by Sargon George Donabed, 2010 Iraq and the Assyrian Unimagining: Illuminating Scaled Suffering and a Hierarchy of Genocide from Simele to Anfal Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Sargon George Donabed Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto Abstract The 1933 genocidal attacks on Assyrians in the Simele region defined the birth of the nascent Iraqi nation and identity. Iraq has ever been in the spotlight of ethnic and cultural strife, especially concerning Sunni-Shia animosity, and more recently in dealing with the Kurdish people and Iraqi Kurdistan. In most cases, however, the Assyrians are completely neglected from scholarship concerning Iraq and its peoples. This work reinserts the Assyrian people into the fabric of Iraq and discusses the violent and non- violent suppression of Assyrian identity and culture through genocide, cultural genocide, and ethnic cleansing. Three fundamental factors emerge from this reinsertion with respect to Iraq and genocide. First, this approach introduces an often-neglected element in Iraqi studies: the inclusion of minorities, or micro-minorities, within the existing discourse on Iraqi studies. Second, it contributes to genocide studies by examining the impact of the non-physical, or cultural, aspect of genocide. Further, it discusses the importance of the Assyrian case in Iraq for understanding Iraqi history, and serves as a case in point of scaling suffering and for understanding how and why a hierarchy of genocide exists.

  • Christian-Muslim Polemics in the Ottoman Print Sphere, 1861-1915
    DISPUTING RELIGION, EMPIRE, AND MODERNITY: CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM POLEMICS IN THE OTTOMAN PRINT SPHERE, 1861-1915 Scott Rank A DISSERTATION in History Presented to the Faculties of the Central European University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Budapest, Hungary 2015 Supervisor of Dissertation: Tolga Esmer CEU eTD Collection Copyright Notice and Statement of Responsibility Copyright in the text of this dissertation rests with the Author.

CEU eTD Collection Abstract This study is about religion and the politics of engagement between Muslim and Christian literati in the late Ottoman Empire. It uses archival sources and periodicals to examine the Christian and Muslim literary responses to the nineteenth and twentieth- century intellectual developments in Europe and the Middle East such as positivism and biblical criticism that challenged traditional religious discourses. This study ties in several historical fields, beginning with the highly limited historiography of Ottoman religious polemics, and moving to studies on religion in the modern era, Protestant missionaries in the Ottoman Empire, imperial governance in the age of New Imperialism (1870-1914), and the global Muslim print sphere that developed in response to these challenges facing the Muslim world.
