However, by the sixth century AD, so completely were their scriptures and teachings distorted that had the founder or the Prophet of any one of them returned to Earth, he would unquestionably have refused his own religion and denounced its followers as apos- tates and idolaters. Judaism had, by then, been reduced to an amalgam of dead rituals and sacraments with- out any spark of life left in it. Also, being a religion upholding a strong racial identity, it never had a message for other nations or for the good of the humanity at large. Through mysticism and magic many polytheistic ideas and customs again found their way among the people, and the Talmud confirms the fact that idolatrous worship is seductive.

  • Which of the Two Sons of Prophet Abraham PBUH Was to Be Sacrificed?
    Which of the two sons of the Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) was to be ‘sacrificed’? Prepared by: Abo Karim El Marakshy 1 The aim of this article is to answer the following misconceptions. 1-Which of the two sons of Prophet Abraham PBUH was to be sacrificed? 2-Hagar’s marriage to Abraham. 3-Ishmael’s relationship with Abraham peace be upon them. 4-The building of the Ka’abah. 5-Prophecies from the Bible about the prophet Muhammad (may Peace and Blessings be upon him). 6-The well of Zamzam. 7-Muslims pilgrimage. 8-Muslims’ claim of being affiliated to Prophet Abraham and various other Islamic articles of faith. PBUH: Peace be upon him 2 The following map shows the journeys of Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) Peace be upon him Round 1800 B.C. Historical background Allah, the Exalted, inspired Abraham (Ibrahim) to take his wife Hagar (Hajar in Arabic) and his son Ishmael ( Isma'il in Arabic ,Yishma'el ( ) in Hebrew meaning "God hears") peace be upon them to Makkah (Bakkah , Baca) in the Arabian Peninsula. Amazingly enough, this word Baca was mentioned by the prophet David (PBUH) in the Bible: "Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well, the rain also filleth the pools." (Psalm 84:6) Also the word Baca was mentioned in the Noble Qur'an "Verily, the first house (of worship) appointed for mankind was that in Baka (Mecca), full of blessing, 3 and guidance for all people." 3:96 of the Noble Qur'an. Abraham (Ibrahim) made a new settlement in Makkah, called Mountains of Paran (Pharan) in the Bible (Genesis 21:21), because of a divine instruction that was given to him as a part of Allah's plan.
