All the praises and thanks be to Allaah, Sustainer of
the Universe, and blessing and salutation to be the most distinguish
of the Messengers and foremost among the Prophets, our
Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allaah be on him and on his
wives, children and Companions.
Before
we begin scrutinizing the above named
“apostle of doom [Paul]” we
must explore and understand the reality and characteristics of the Prophethood. The best explanation is provided by Imaam
Ghazi رحمة الله
عليه
in ‘Ma’arij al-Quds معارج القدس’ and
by Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlvi in ‘Hujjatullah al-Balighah حجة الله البليغه.’ Both of these scholars are well versed
in tasawwuf تصوّف, philosophy and naqaliyat نقليات, therefore, whatever they say will have
a touch of their expertise as well. The Imaam Ghazi رحمة الله عليه says: ‘Prophethood
is superior to the level of humanity in the same way as the humanity is above
animal nature. It is a Divine gift and is not achieved by effort, labor or
search.’
Allaah has said:
Surah Al-An'am 124
وَإِذَا
جَاءَتْهُمْ آيَةٌ
قَالُوا لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ
حَتَّى نُؤْتَى
مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ
رُسُلُ اللَّهِ
اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ
حَيْثُ يَجْعَلُ
رِسَالَتَهُ سَيُصِيبُ
الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا
صَغَارٌ عِنْدَ
اللَّهِ وَعَذَابٌ
شَدِيدٌ بِمَا
كَانُوا يَمْكُرُونَ
And
when there comes to them a sign (from Allâh) they say: "We shall not
believe until we receive the like of that which the Messengers of Allâh had
received." Allâh knows best with whom to
place His Message. Humiliation and disgrace from Allâh and a severe
torment will overtake the criminals (polytheists, sinners) for that which they
used to plot.
Surah Ash-Shura 52
وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحًا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا مَا كُنْتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَلَا الْإِيمَانُ وَلَكِنْ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُورًا نَهْدِي بِهِ مَنْ نَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
And thus We have sent to you (O Muhammad صلى
الله عليه و سلم) Ruh
(a Revelation, and a Mercy) of Our Command. You knew not what is the
Book, nor what is Faith? But We have made it (this Qur’ân) a light wherewith We
guide whosoever of Our slaves We will. And verily, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه
و سلم)
are indeed guiding (mankind) to the Straight Path (i.e. Allâh’s Religion of
Islâmic Monotheism).
Surah Al-Jumu'a 4
That is the Grace of Allâh, which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allâh is the Owner of Mighty Grace.
Points to be noted!
We must keep this in mind that a prophet:
Let us now distinguish a prophet from an imposter and/or false
prophet.
Following four points are sufficient enough to differentiate
between a true prophet and a false prophet:
Thus, the
source of a prophet’s knowledge is Divine teaching, revelation and inspiration.
But the source of the false prophet is human teaching, past experience, deception
and perjury. That is exactly what we found in Paul’s rhetoric including
telling the readers that “Jesus” was cursed by God.
Christians claim that Jesus had redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for
it is written, Cursed is every one that hanged on a tree." (Galatians
3:13).
Has
Paul been honest writing this or he has a hidden agenda?
If we ask any Christian "By whom was Jesus
cursed?" Most Christians would answer without any hesitation “cursed by people."
But the Paul, who made this allegation has different
answer, since he is not honest when quoting his reference i.e. Deuteronomy 21:23 {“
. . . that is hanged is accursed of God; . . . "} Paul has covertly tried to hide “God” making it easy for Christians to accept the
connection between the Old Testament's curse and Jesus.
Christians accepts
this connection without thinking, thus, by doing so Christians are
automatically accepting Jesus to be cursed by God Almighty, without
realizing Paul’s assault on Jesus.
Because making a reasoned connection between
Deuteronomy 21:23 and Matthew 27:38, Mark 15:27, Luke
23:33, John 19:18 one will learn that "Jesus is cursed
by God" or Christians sham God Jesus cursed by
God!
Why Paul is insulting Jesus? What could be his reason for this assault on Jesus? Why Paul has perverted the teachings of Jesus and taught the doctrine of trinity?
Jesus himself
has provided the answer while condemning the Pharisees and warning
people in Matthew 16:11-12 & Luke 12:1-2. That is why Jesus’ disciples escaped
from Paul as we read in Luke 12:1-2.
Paul
confirms Jesus words, perhaps prophecy in Acts 23:6 {“I
AM a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee . . .”}. Notice, that Paul
does not say that I was a Pharisee?
Paul became all things to all people (1.
Corinthians 9:20-22). Did Jesus become all things to all people to win them
like Paul? That is why Jesus cursed hypocrites and Pharisees!
This proves that Paul Passed On The FALSE Gospel!
Role of Satan (Iblees ابليس)
in Mystic Experience:
Iblees ابليس is the perpetual enemy of man. Ever since
the creation of Adam, Iblees ابليس has followed men. Allaah (SWT) has also
given special characteristics to Iblees ابليس. It is stated in the Hadeeth, that the Iblees ابليس runs in the blood of man and also sits on his heart. Iblees ابليس is capable of doing many extraordinary things which ignorant
people think to be divine, thus they get deceived. In
any mystic experience, there remains always the probability that Iblees
ابليس might have put a deceptive and misleading
interpretation in the heart of the person who is going through this experience,
except the prophets. It is called Tablees-e-Iblees تبليسِ
ابليس; only Prophets have been protected from it and no other person
other than Prophets is safe from Tablees-e-Iblees تبليسِ
ابليس. We know that Paul was not a Prophet at all;
in fact he was not even close to Prophethood.
Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani (RA رحمة
الله عليه) one of the great Wali of Muslim Ummah had a famous incident to
this effect. His mystic experiences were of par excellence. It is reported that
once, while Shaikh was taking a walk he saw a light (Nur) between the Heaven
and the earth. From this Nur (Light), a voice was heard by the Shaikh saying: “
O’ Abdul Qadir, your Salah (Prayer) has been waived off for you.”
Since
Hadhrat Shaikh (RA رحمة الله
عليه)
was a great scholar and he knew that Iblees ابليس could do such things, he relied upon the
Prophetic knowledge, which is safe from the effects of Iblees ابليس and NAFS. Prophetic knowledge states that Salah is
compulsory for every adult, sane, and conscience person. Salah cannot be waived
off in any circumstances. Therefore, Hadhrat Shaikh (RA رحمة الله عليه) rejected the exhortation of Iblees
ابليس without any hesitation. Now compare
this with the alleged claim made by Paul, resulting in the
inception of myth of ‘Trinity’ and/or absurdity of incarnation and resurrection etc. were
conceived. The irony of this absurdity is
that (a) Jesus, himself never explicitly or implicitly made such claims
in his lifetime (b) Jesus’ explicit
claim is well documented in verse 5:17 in the
gospel according to Matthew, which
repudiates Paul. Nonetheless, Paul,
the apostle of doom was successful in creating a cult, which is called
Christianity with 94,000 sects and 250,000 denominations with hundreds of Bible
versions, and all of them have one thing in common; i.e. they have no
prophetic knowledge [Period]. Iblees
ابليس can’t be any more happier to know that Paul’s
teachings are his one and only accomplishment that took perhaps two minutes to
deceive Paul, and for 2000 years its fruits have been immeasurable by domino
effect.
We know that Paul
was neither a scholar nor a
Wali, neither Paul possessed Prophetic knowledge not even has personally known and
neither has ever met Jesus. Thus, it is obvious the voice he heard was
NO other than Satan.
Therefore, Christians have no prophetic knowledge since the time
of Jesus.
The irony of this most unintelligible religion of
Christianity is that, its over zealous followers, especially missionaries 24/7
attacks Islaam, while at the same time they want others to believe in their
fictitious stories of Paul’s so-called vision and alleged resurrection
of ‘Jesus.’ If “Jesus” is claimed to be an alleged crucified
savior, so what? There are sixteen crucified saviors according
the book titled ‘The
World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors’ authored by Kersey Graves at the end of 18th
century, [also by same author: The Christ Myth - a
refutation of Graves on the story of Krishna]. However, Kersey Graves has
blundered by including the name of Prophet of Islaam in his long list of
alleged saviors, which he also has miss-spelled as well. This shows usual
Judeo-Christian ignorance of Islaam and/or Glorious Qur’aan even by their
well-reputed scholars.

Bible
teaches: “Every word may be established with 2 or 3 witnesses" see
Matthew 18:16 II Corinthians 13:1 Hebrew 10:28.” Thus, Paul’s claim of vision
about Jesus is not acceptable according to Bible’s own injunction and cannot
be relied upon. We read in II Peter 003:014-16 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such
things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and
blameless. 003:015 And account
that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother
Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
003:016 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in
which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned
and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own
destruction. This
is a clear warning by Peter, on the topic of “coming of the lord” in
which, Peter is saying to the believers to be diligent, without spot and
blameless, unfortunately Peter didn't elaborate that what are the problems
with the Paul's letters, but it is interesting to take note that if you
misunderstand those writings of Paul, you could lose your salvation. |
Conclusion!
One man’s words are not enough to put a foundation of a belief
system; therefore, in this case “Paul” himself is not credible being
without credible witnesses (as cited earlier) according to the Bible.
The Christians’ dilemma begins with Paul’s absurd claims contrary to Jesus’,
which cannot be verified according to the criteria cited above in this
treatise. We also know through history and Christian Bible that:
Finally, the
Biblical scholars Michael
Baigent and Richard Leigh have dedicated entire chapter (16) in their book titled: ‘THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS DECEPTION’ under
title: Paul- Roman Agent or
Informer? Michael Baigent and Richard
Leigh are also authors
of ‘Holy Blood’ and ‘Holy Grail.’
