Is Islam One with God?
Islam began in 610 CE, when Prophet Muhammad received his first revelation in Mecca, according to Islamic tradition. This event is considered the starting point of Islam, as it marks the beginning of the divine revelations that would later become the Quran.
Note: Many years after Christ
Mecca, or Makkah, is the holiest city in Islam, located in the western region of Saudi Arabia. It's the birthplace of Prophet Muhammad and the location of the Kaaba, Islam's most sacred shrine, which is the center of the Great Mosque (Masjid al-Haram). Mecca is also the destination for the annual Hajj pilgrimage, a mandatory journey for able-bodied Muslims who can afford it.
Note: Matthew 24:26; Jesus says “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.
Does the Prophet Muhammad come from the desert?
While Prophet Muhammad was born in the city of Mecca, which is located in the desert, it's important to clarify that he wasn't born in the desert itself. Mecca is a mountainous town in the high desert plateau of western Arabia. He was raised in the desert, as it was common practice to send infants to live with Bedouin families, according to Islamic tradition.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Place of Birth:
.
Prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca, a town known for its bustling trade and religious significance.
Desert Environment:
.
Mecca is situated in a mountainous desert plateau, making it a desert city, but not the desert in the traditional sense.
Early Life in the Desert:
.
As a young infant, Prophet Muhammad was sent to live with a Bedouin family in the desert as part of a common practice. This practice was believed to promote the health and resilience of children.
Later Life:
.
He later returned to Mecca and continued to live there until his emigration to Medina.
Note: 1 Corinthians 13:1-4 says If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
As I've examined, some verses in the Quran, such as 47:4, or 9:29, directly tell them to kill the people who reject Islam or God. I found this kind of disturbing, considering that Islam is supposed to believe in the one true God and follow the image of God, and welcome all people, and if the Quran is the word of Allah himself, God can punish people himself because he is the creator.
Note: For Example- In the story from Genesis, the King of Egypt, Pharaoh, was not actively prevented from sleeping with Abraham's wife, Sarah. Instead, the Bible tells that God intervened to protect Sarah. God caused Pharaoh to be stricken with sicknes

03:28God caused Pharaoh to be stricken with sickness and disease until Sarah was returned to Abraham.
03:34This was because God had a promise to Abraham and Sarah about having a son,
03:39and he intervened to keep them together.
03:41Killing in the name of Islam is wrong?
03:44Matthew 24 colon 28,
03:46Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
03:50Note, 1 John 3 verse 15 says,
03:54Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer,
03:57and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
04:01Is Islam the second beast of religion that kills?
04:04You decide.
04:06The Islamic conquests, also known as the Arab conquests or early Muslim conquests,
04:12refer to the military expansion of the Islamic caliphate following the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE.
04:19This period saw the rapid expansion of Arab Muslim power beyond the Arabian Peninsula,
04:25establishing a vast empire that encompassed territories across Asia, Africa, and Europe.
04:32The conquests were fueled by a combination of military strength,
04:37religious fervor, and the political circumstances of the time.
04:41Key Aspects of the Islamic Conquests
04:43Rapid Expansion
04:45The conquests were characterized by swift and significant expansion,
04:50particularly during the Rashidun Caliphate, 632 to 661 CE,
04:57and later under the Imayyad Caliphate, 661 to 750 CE.
05:03Military Success
05:05Arab armies, often led by skilled commanders like Khalid Ibn al-Walid,
05:10achieved decisive victories, conquering territories like Persia, Syria, and Egypt.
05:17Political and Religious Factors
05:19The rise of Islam and the desire to spread its message played a significant role in the conquests.
05:26Simultaneously, the political instability and weakened states of the Byzantine and Sasanian empires
05:32also contributed to the ease of conquest.
05:36Diverse Territories
05:37The Islamic Conquests encompassed a wide range of territories,
05:42including parts of the Middle East, North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, and Central Asia.
05:48Impact and Legacy
05:49The conquests brought about significant changes, including the spread of Islam,
05:54the establishment of new political structures, and the transformation of existing societies.
06:01Major Conquests
06:02Conquest of Persia
06:04Conquest of Persia, 633 to 651 CE
06:08The Sasanian Empire was defeated, leading to the incorporation of Persia into the Islamic Caliphate.
06:17Conquest of Syria, 634 to 638 CE
06:22The Byzantine Empire's control over Syria was broken, and the region was brought under Arab rule.
06:30Conquest of Egypt, 641 to 642 CE
06:36Egypt was swiftly conquered and remained under Muslim rule ever since.
06:42Conquest of North Africa, 647 to 709 CE
06:47The Maghreb region, west of Egypt, was progressively brought under Islamic rule.
06:55Conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, 711 CE
06:59The Visigothic Kingdom in Spain was conquered by Arab and Berber forces,
07:05leading to the establishment of the Amayyad Caliphate in Al-Andalus.
07:10Does Muslim or Islam match the character or image of God?
07:15Since Islam went on its conquest, how many people has it killed?
07:19Note, Matthew 24 verses 7 to 11
07:23Jesus says,
07:25Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
07:29There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
07:33All these are the beginning of birth pains.
07:36Note, this has happened since Jesus left the earth.
07:40Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death,
07:43and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
07:47Note, things to consider.
07:49Islam kills Christians, or all nations hate black people,
07:53so they kill them or enslave them.
07:56At that time, many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,
08:00and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
08:05Note, turn away from the Son of Man to join Islam.
08:09Then they betray their brother who believes in Jesus.
08:12Note, this has happened since Jesus left and is still happening.
08:16Islam is killing Jesus' followers.
08:20Does Islam match God's character?
08:22How many nations and people follow this religion?
08:26Note, James 1 27 says,
08:29Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this,
08:33to look after orphans and widows in their distress,
08:36and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
08:40Quran addresses murder.
08:42The Quran addresses murder as a grave offense and emphasizes the sanctity of human life.
08:48It states that taking a life, unless it's in the case of murder or for spreading mischief in the land,
08:54is as if one has killed all of humanity.
08:56Here are some key points regarding the Quran's perspective on murder.
09:01Sanctity of life.
09:03The Quran emphasizes the sacredness of human life,
09:06considering it a gift from God that must be respected and protected.
09:11Prohibition of unjust killing.
09:13Killing an innocent person is strictly forbidden and considered a major crime.
09:18Consequences of intentional murder.
09:20The Quran warns of severe consequences in the hereafter for intentional murder,
09:26including eternal hellfire and divine wrath.
09:29Punishment in this life.
09:31Islamic law, Sharia, provides for the death penalty, Kisas,
09:35as a possible punishment for intentional murder,
09:38but it also strongly encourages forgiveness or acceptance of blood money,
09:43Daya, as alternatives.
09:46Discouragement of revenge, while retaliation, Kisas,
09:49is an option, forgiveness is encouraged,
09:52and the victim's family is given the choice to pardon the perpetrator or accept compensation.
09:58Contextual understanding of verses related to violence.
10:01Some verses in the Quran that seem to address violence are understood to be relevant
10:06within specific historical and military contexts,
10:10particularly in self-defense against aggressors.
10:13These verses do not justify the killing of innocent civilians.
10:17It's important to note that the interpretation of specific verses related to violence and punishment
10:23in Islam is complex and subject to different perspectives among scholars
10:28and within various schools of thought.
10:31Quran addresses murder and the Bible addresses murder,
10:34so why do Muslims and Christians murder and hate?
10:38Those who do such a thing don't belong to God, because God is love.
10:47These reasons are objections to us right now, since one of the sinners die from that disneyed the מז定 God's firstulation,
10:50which is in alone in the ObrigIO,
10:51so how do I write in 책 layers?
10:52Those who do such a thing don't belong to him,
10:53they don't belong to him,
10:54their hearts andнения don't belong to Him.
10:56Brooks, while we have a great influence between women and religions,
10:58and so will have quite a goodud doet do not bring it to others 꺼受 من them,
11:01because they can reach out to others.
11:02Got away from the surrounding 1982 where you want to heal a lot of juntos is to ground silence,
11:07and you want to excel as their people?
