BIBLE AND HOLY QUR'AN: WHICH ONE IS RIGHT?
[from Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah]
1 Which one is right? I don't know of any scriptural book of religion that doesn't contain some good. What Allah (God) demands today is a book or religion that is all good, not a mixture of truth and false, not a book or religion that is or has been tampered with by His enemies.
2 The Bible is called a Holy Book, and is often referred to as the Word of God. The present English Bible is said to be translated out of the original tongues, into the present English language by the authority of one King James in 1611.
3 What is the original tongue or language that the Bible was written in? What language did Moses speak? Originally, the Torah (old Testament) was given in 2,000 B.C. to Musa (Moses) who spoke ancient Egyptian Arabic; and the second half (the New Testament) was revealed to Isa (Jesus) who spoke both Arabic and Hebrew, 2,000 years ago.
4 The Holy Qur-an was revealed to Muhammad, who spoke Arabic, in the seventh century A.D., over 1,300 years ago. The believers and followers of these three Scriptures are referred to as follows: (1) Hebrews or Jews, believers in Musa (Moses) and the Torah; (2) Christians, followers of Isa (Jesus) and the Injil or gospel revealed to Isa (Jesus); (3) Muslims, believers in all of the Prophets of God and the Scriptures revealed to His Prophets, The Torah, Injil, Qur-an. The Muslims, make no difference in any of them, as long as it is from Allah (God).
5 The Jews or Hebrews believe that Musa (Moses) was a Jew, who brought them the Torah. The Christians believe that both Musa (Moses) and Isa (Jesus) were Jews. Muhammad, an Arab, was a member of the black nation. The Jews and Christians are of the white race, and they don't believe in the Scriptures (Holy Qur-an) that Allah (God) revealed to Muhammad. Muhammad and his followers believe in Moses and Jesus and also the true Scriptures that they two prophets brought to their people.
6 The Arabs or Muslims have tried and are still trying to get the white race to believe and recognize Muhammad as a Divine Prophet of Allah (God) and the Qur-an, a Divine revelation, as they recognize Musa (Moses) and Isa (Jesus) and the Bible as coming from Allah (God). Again their objection proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no such thing as a divine relation of brotherhood between the black nation and white race. God forbid. The history of the two people is a proof. For 6,000 years the two (black and white) have been and still are unable to get along together in peace. This is due to the fact that the God of the two people is not the same.
7 The Bible is now being called the Poison Book by God Himself, and who can deny that it is not poison? It has poisoned the very hearts and minds of the so-called Negroes so much that they can't agree with each other. From the first day that the white race received the Divine Scripture they started tampering with its truth to make it suit themselves, and blind the black man. It is their nature to do evil, and the Book can't be recognized as the pure and Holy Word of God. It opens with the words of someone other than God trying to represent God and His Creation to us. This is called the Book of Moses and reads as follows: “In the beginning God created Heaven and earth” (Gen. 1:1). When was this beginning? There in the Genesis the writer tells us that it was 4,004 B.C.. This we know, now, that it refers to the making of the white race, and not the heavens and earth. The second verse of the first chapter of Genesis reads: “And the earth was without form and void; darkness was upon the deep and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” What was the water on, since there was no form of earth? As I see it, the Bible is very questionable. After God had created everything without asking anyone for help, then comes His weakness in the 26th verse of the same chapter (Gen. 1:26). He invites us to help Him make a man. Allah has revealed the Us that was invited to make a man (white race). A man is far more easy to make than the heavens and earth. We can't charge these questionable readings of the Bible to Musa because he was a prophet of God, and they don't lie.
8 If the present Bible is the direct Word of God, why isn’t God speaking rather than His Prophet Musa (Moses)? Neither does Moses tell us here, in the first chapter of Genesis, that it is from God. No, we don't find the name Moses mentioned in the chapter. The Bible is the graveyard of my poor people (the so-called Negroes) and I would like to dwell upon this book until I am sure they understand that it is not quite as holy as they thought it was. I don't mean to say that there is no truth in it; certainly there is plenty of truth, if understood. Will you accept the understanding of it? The Bible charges all of its great prophets with evil. It makes God guilty of an act of adultery by charging Him with being the father of Mary’s baby (Jesus); again it charges Noah and Lot with drunkenness, and Lot with getting children by his daughter. What a Poison Book.
9 The Holy Qur-an, is holy because it is the Word of Allah (God) speaking Himself directly to His servant. Holy means something that is perfectly pure and we just can’t say that of the poison Bible. Al-Qur-an the Qur-an means, according to the Arabic scholars of the language in which it is written, that which should be read, which was revealed to Muhammad in the month of Ramadan 2:185.
10 We, the so-called American Negroes, are mentioned in the New Testament under several names and parables. I will name two, the parable of the Lost Sheep and the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:1, 11); we could not be described better.
11 Before the coming of Allah (God), we, being blind, deaf and dumb, had mistaken the true meanings of these parables as referring to the Jews. Now, thanks to Almighty God Allah, Who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad (whom be praised forever), who has opened my blinded eyes, and unstopped my ears, loosen the knot in my tongue, and has made us to understand these Bible parables are referring to us, the so-called Negroes and our slave-masters.
12 The answer (Luke 15:4,6) to the charges made by the proud and unholy Pharisees against Him (God in Person) for eating with His lost-found people whom the Pharisees and their people had made sinners, can't be better. It defends Him and His people (lost and found sheep). He proved their wicked hatred for His love for His people who were lost and He (God) has found them. They (the Pharisees and their people) had more love for a lost and found animal of theirs than they did for the lost and found people of Allah (God).
13 Regardless of our sins that we have committed in following and obeying our slave-masters, Allah (God) forgives it all today, if we, the so-called Negroes, will turn to Him and our own kind. If the wicked can rejoice over the finding of his lost and strayed animal, or a piece of silver, or a son who had a desire to leave home and practice the evil habits of strangers, how much more should Allah and the nation of Islam rejoice over finding us, their people, who have been lost from them for 400 years following other than our own kind? We, being robbed so thoroughly of the knowledge of self and kind, are opposed to our own salvation in favor of our enemies, and I here quote another poison addition of the slavery teachings of the Bible: Love your enemies, bless them who curse you, pray for those who spitefully use you, him that smiteth thee on one cheek offer the other cheek, him that taketh (rob) away thy cloak, forbid not to take away thy coat also. (Luke 6:27-28-29). The slave-masters couldn't have found a better teaching for their protection against the slaves possible dissatisfaction of their master's brutal treatment.
14 It is against the very nature of God and man, and other life, to love their enemies. Would God ask us to do that which He, Himself, can't do? He hates his enemies so much that He tells us that He is going to destroy them in hell fire, along with those of us who follow His enemies.
15 The misunderstanding of the Old and New Testaments by the so-called Negro preachers makes it our graveyard and must be resurrected therefrom. Moses didn't teach a resurrection of the dead nor did Noah, who was a prophet before Moses. The New Testament and Holy
Qur-an's teaching of a resurrection of the dead can't mean the people who have died physically and returned to the earth, but rather a mental resurrection of us, the black nation, who are mentally dead to the knowledge of truth; the truth of self, God and the arch-enemy of God and His people.
16 That is that Truth (John 8:32) that will make us free, whereof John (8:32) doesn't say what truth shall make you free; therefore leaving it questionable and to the advantage of the enemy. Oh, that my poor people, the so-called Negroes could understand, they would sit in heaven at once. The enemy is alert, wide-awake and even on the job to prevent the so-called Negroes from believing Allah and the true religion of Allah (God) and His Prophets, the Religion of Islam. The enemy is well aware that Allah (God) is the Rock of our Defense and Islam the House of our Salvation. Woe to you who try to hinder the teachings of Islam and the truth of God and the devil, also ever planning the death of the Messenger of Allah and his followers. It would have been better that you were not born. The chastisement of Allah shall abide upon you until you are brought to shame and disgrace.
17 Remember the disgrace suffered by Pharaoh and his people for their opposition to Moses and his followers, just because Pharaoh feared that Moses would teach this people the true religion, Islam! Pharaoh set his whole army against Moses only to be brought to naught. Pharaoh had deceived his slaves in the knowledge of Allah and the true religion Islam, and indirectly had them worshiping him and his people as God.
18 The poor so-called Negroes are so filled with fear of their enemy that they stoop to helping the enemy, against their own salvation. Be aware of what you are doing lest you be the worst loser. If they had only been taught the truth, they would act differently. The Bible, church and Christianity have deceived them. I pray Allah to give them life and light of understanding.
19 The Holy Qur-an, the Glory Book, should be read and studied by us, the so-called American Negroes. Both the present Bible and Holy Qur-an must soon give way to that Holy Book which no man as yet but Allah has seen. The teachings (prophesies) of the present Bible and Qur-an takes us up to the resurrection and judgment of this world, but not into the next life. That which is in the Holy Book is for the righteous and evil. The preparation for that unseen life is now going on in the few believers of Islam in America. Islam, the true religion of Allah (God), makes a distinction between the lovers of righteousness and lovers of evil. It is that which Allah (God) is using today to separate the righteous from the evil-doers.
20 Let us take a look at the opening of the second chapter of the Holy Qur-an. Here Allah addresses Himself to us as being the Best Knower and says that we must not entertain any doubts about the purity of His Book (the Holy Qur-an).
21 The apostle believes in what has been revealed to him from His Lord, and so do the believers. They all believe in Allah, His angels, His books and His apostles. We made no difference between any of His apostles; and they say, We hear and obey, our Lord, Thy forgiveness do we crave, and to Thee is the eventual course (Verse 2:285).
22 Can the proud Christian say with truth the same? No, they don't believe in Allah not to mention His prophets and the scriptures of the prophets; but they like to make a difference in the prophets. All the old prophets are condemned as being other than good, but Jesus they go to the extreme in making Him a Son and finally God. Yet they say that they killed Jesus, the Son of God, because He made Himself the Son of God.
23 The history of this man Jesus has been gravely misunderstood by us, the American so-called Negroes.

Elijah Muhammad (Messenger of Allah), Billy Graham, Ted Garner Armstrong and the Orthodox Jews were the last of the mercy to corrupt Muslims, Christians and Jews. The gave warnings and mercy over a 44 year period but they were all rejected and their pleas ignored by religious and government leadership and their followers and supporters. Now comes the Judgment and Fall of America first, as she is the most wicked and brazen in her defiance of divine law and prophecy.

Sheer puritanical hypocrisy. Either that you do not really understand your Quran or you have selective amnesia. Every non-Moslem is a khafar to Islam and you are supposed to know what you claim to be the fate of the (Islamic) khafar. Please show the world evidence that Billy Graham and others you listed for convenience now bow down facing the East five times daily.
By the way, unless the organization identifies otherwise, anywhere I see Nation of Islam in this forum (Smiley&West), I substitute Saleem Shah. The rhetoric plainly identifies both as one.

Yes. So what! I choose to separate the two posts. The Nation of Islam posts can stand on its own.
Secondly, the speaking of the truth by anyone is accepted by Allah and in Qur'an as truth. All and any truth acted, spoken or printed is Islam. So, it is you who are the hypocrite - to suggest that you have enough knowledge and understand of the Quran to correct and challenge me and you have not even studied it. Maybe if you left the pork alone your understand would measurably increase. Try it.

You speak from both sides of your mouth and have no solid grounding in the Quran you claim to follow. I have read the Quran from the beginning to the end. I do not claim to be an Imam, but I know enough to recognize a quack when I see one. You do not understand the message in the Book; you are just one of those noise-making, nominal reciters of verses from the Book. You memorize and parrot verses without internalizing the letter and spirit of the message you are supposed to be extracting from the Quran.
The Nation of Islam is a bona fide organization whose affairs are not run by charlatans misappropriating the name of the organization to disseminate half-baked ideas. If you have the authority of the organization to be its sole representative and mouthpiece on Smiley&West, then publish it and be damned. If you are appropriating NOI without authority, you risk foreseeable legal liability jointly and severally with NOI and any party publishing any of your tendentious and tortious materials that are purely your own personal contortions and deniable by NOI.

Just to put my 2 cents in this...LOL Only have 2 cents to my name, I studied Arabic as a second language and was in Islam once in my life..The Quran states: "Be you Jew Christian or Sabian if you believe in God he will reward you for your belief." Yet anyone a non Muslim is considered as a Khafir. The thing I don't get with Christians (what I call myself now) are the following questions I continue to grapple with: 1 Who was Jesus praying to (2) WHo was the God prior to Jesus? (3) Why did Jesus never consider himself a God and said to pray---OH GOD WHO ART IN HEAVEN THAT IS YOUR NAME? He said he was the son of man.. Christians say he is God...On the Cross Jesus asked God why He forsaken him? What the heck is the real truth? To add to the confusion, Christians stated at the times Jesus called on God he was a man. LOL ok Someone please help me in my confusion, please!!!!!

Also, Muslims worship Muhammad like Christian worship Jesus. Yet both religions stated not to put any God's before God...Help a sister out here. Islam is 60-70% Arab culture based upon Hadith. Hadith hold Muhammad up as some sort of God when he was not. Even in prayers, Muslims include Muhammad's name Muhammadan Rasululah I think I spelled that right, like Christians say in Jesus' name we pray. There are over 100 versions of Islam according to some sources. OPEN FOR crucifixion I know Im going to get LOL WHAT IS THE TRUTH????THAT'S WHAT I SEEK

If you are referring to the post, “Bible and Holy Qur’an: Which One is Right?”, these are the exact words from Elijah Muhammad, verbatim, as he received these words from Almighty God Allah, in the person of Master Fard Muhammad – the Mahdi of the Muslims and the Messiah of the Christians.
Any quote I make of Qur’an is from the mouth of Allah Himself. I do not have anything to say, other than to bear witness to the truth of what Allah, God, spoke from 1930 to February 25, 1975. So, that which you refer to as quackery is a mockery of divine revealed truths. The comment on Rev. Billy Graham and Ted Garner Armstrong is my personal comment and is not a part of the post of the wisdom of the Messenger’s article.
The Nation of Islam title of this particular blog is specifically to present the chapters from Message to the Black Man in America and Fall of America. I never said nor implied that I represent the Nation of Islam as an organization or political entity. What I do represent is the truth that the Nation of Islam represents as it pertains to Bible and Holy Qur’an; and the truths of the time as revealed by Almighty God Allah, in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, as a final mercy as a “message to the black man.”
What “half baked” ideas are you referring to? Just so we are very clear – I do not need any authority to present the Supreme Wisdom of Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, to the public.
You are confusing “Nation of Islam” with the legalities of this world. The Nation of Islam, teaches Master Fard Muhammad, is not owned by anyone. Elijah Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, did not start the Nation, nor did he own any part of it; neither does any of the past and present ministers. After February 1975, the Messenger’s family went into Probate Court to try to prove that the millions of dollars in property and other assets under the name of Nation of Islam belonged to one Elijah Muhammad, and therefore should be divided among the family of the Messenger. Having the correct understanding of Nation of Islam, the court ruled that Mr. Elijah Muhammad did not then nor did he ever own a single penny or any asset of the Nation of Islam. The court understood that the Nation of Islam is universal and any assets belong to the community of persons who make up the Nation of Islam.
There is/was a Muhammad Temple of Islam, Inc. as a legal entity throughout the United States and countries abroad. I have no knowledge of anyone incorporating “Nation of Islam” as a legal entity. From 1934 to 1975 the business of the Nation of Islam, under the messengership of Elijah Muhammad, was conducted under the legal name of Temple of Islam, Inc.
So, yes, I am the sole representative of the Nation of Islam on the Smiley/West Forum. What you clearly lack understanding and insight of is that I have all rights to speak, print or otherwise represent Truth. I am not nor have I ever been a charlatan. Shame on you for such baseless charge. The charlatans are these “stand-up ministers” around the country, since February 25, 1975, who claim to be continuing the works of Elijah Muhammad – who all take from the people in the names of Allah and His Messenger – who misrepresent the truth as taught by Allah through His Messenger; who take from the people and give nothing in return but a prayer and a false promise from 1975 to this moment.
There are three things in America that are boogey man spooky to talk about by black and white alike: (1) the horrific history of slavery and its present day repercussions; (2) the mischief making, blood shedding history of the white race/genocide of the Indian – from approximately 80 million down to 2 million in the Caribbean and North America since Columbus; and (3) any mention of the name Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah.
I read many blogs on this website and saw no mention or reference to the greatest black man, up from slavery, in the history of America. So, in that absence, I did what no one else did – give the Nation of Islam, under the leadership of Elijah Muhammad – a face and a voice. In so doing, I am presenting not what Elijah Muhammad said – but what Master Fard Muhammad, the All-Wise, True, and Living God, gave to the ex-slave in the Wilderness of North America, who having no knowledge of self or others, would be spared the destruction of the enemies of Allah and the Righteous.
In closing, let me just add: I have been a student of Allah and a follower of Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah, since I was 20 years old – I am now 64. I have never followed any of his ministers. If I were to add the accumulated time that I did not study Supreme Wisdom, Bible, Qur’an and other supporting lights of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding over the past 44 years, it would add up to perhaps 36 months. I have studied just about every day of my young adult, middle age, and now senior years of my life.
With that being said, I am sure you can understand I do not have the patience for this petty, middle school chit-chat you always offer in your response to what I present. It is beneath my dignity as a man, scholar, and as a Muslim. In the back of Message to the Black Man in America there is a section(s) entitled, Guide to the Understand of the Bible; and, Guide to the Understanding of Qur’an. Read and study them. Then get back to me here with questions or comments you would like to dispute or challenge the truth of. My answers and response will only be from what Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad has revealed to His Messenger Elijah Muhammad. Let us take your dissatisfaction to the level of intelligent men and women. No one of the Nation of Islam would deny any of the articles I have submitted.
Who gave me the audacity and authority to present under the banner of Nation of Islam? Why, none other than my Lord and Saviour, Master Fard Muhammad, the All-Wise, True, and Living God.
Peace and Understanding.
