Seriously. The Koran was sent
A CONFIRMATION of what went before; Mohammad (peace be upon him) was
NOT sent to start a new religion (
Sura 2:97-98,
3:1-3,
4:47,
5:51,
6:92-94,
6:154-157,
10:37,
12:111,
22:52,
35:31,
46:12,
61:6-7).
Sura 2:97-98
2:97. Say: "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - for he brings down the (revelation) to thy heart by God's Will,
A CONFIRMATION OF WHAT WENT BEFORE, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe,-
2:98. Whoever is an enemy to God and His angels and Apostles, to Gabriel
and Michael (
Daniel 12:1;
Rev. 12:7),- Lo! God is an enemy to those who reject Faith."
Sura 3:1-3
3:1. A. L. M. (Almighty. Loving. Merciful.)
3:2. Allah (God). There is no God but He,- the Living, the Self-Existing (YHWH - "I AM"), Eternal.
3:3. It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Koran,
CONFIRMING WHAT WENT BEFORE IT and He sent down The Law (of Moses) and The Gospel (of Jesus)
BEFORE THIS, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down The Criterion (of Judgment between right and wrong).
Sura 4:47. O ye People of The Book! Believe in what We have (now) revealed,
CONFIRMING WHAT WAS (ALREADY) WITH YOU, before We change the face and fame of some (of you) beyond all recognition, and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers, for the decision of God
MUST be carried out.
Sura 5:51. To thee We sent the Scripture in truth,
CONFIRMING THE SCRIPTURE THAT CAME BEFORE IT, AND GUARDING IT IN SAFETY (
Sura 32:23): so judge between them by what "I AM" hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires (
Sura 9:107-111), diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have We prescribed The Law and The Open Way (
Matt. 7:13-14). If "I AM" had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His Plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues.
The goal of you all is to "I AM"; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters about which ye dispute;
Sura 6:92-94
6:92. And this (Koran) is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings,
AND CONFIRMING (THE REVELATIONS) WHICH CAME BEFORE IT: that thou mayest warn the Mother of Cities (Jerusalem -
Isaiah 1:1,
21;
Matt. 23:37, Gal. 4:26) and all around her (just like almost all of the previous Prophets were also told to do). Those who believe in the Hereafter (also) believe this (Book), and they are constant in guarding their prayers.
6:93. Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against "I AM", or saith, "I have received inspiration," when he hath received none, or (again) who saith, "I can reveal the like of what "I AM" hath revealed"? If thou couldst but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion at death! - The angels stretch forth their hands, (saying),"Yield up your souls/Beings: this day shall ye receive your reward,- a penalty of shame, for that ye used to tell lies against "I AM", and scornfully to reject of His Signs!
6:94. And behold! Ye come to us bare and alone as We created you for the first time: ye have left behind you all (the favours) which We bestowed on you: We see not with you
your intercessors whom ye thought to be partners in your affairs: so now all relations between you have been cut off, and your (pet) fancies have left you in the lurch!"
Sura 6:154-157
6:154. Moreover, We gave Moses The Book (The Torah),
COMPLETING (Our favour) to those who would do right, and explaining
ALL things
IN DETAIL,- and a
GUIDE and a
MERCY, that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.
6:155. And this (Torah) is a Book which We have revealed as a
BLESSING:
so follow it and be righteous, that
YE may receive mercy (
Sura 32:23):
6:156. Lest
YE should say: "The Book (The Torah) was sent down to two Peoples before us, and for our part, we remained unacquainted with all that they learned by careful study:"
6:157. Or lest
YE should say: "If The Book (The Torah) had only been sent down to
US, we should have
FOLLOWED its guidance
BETTER than they (
Sura 32:23)." Now then hath come unto
YOU a clear (Sign) from your Lord,- and a
GUIDE and a
MERCY: t
hen who could do MORE WRONG than one who rejecteth "I AM"'s Signs (and The Torah - Bible), and turneth away therefrom? In good time shall We requite those who turn away from Our Signs, with a dreadful penalty, for their turning away.
Sura 10:37-38
10:37. This Koran is not such as can be produced by other than "I AM"; on the contrary
IT IS A CONFIRMATION OF (REVELATIONS) THAT WENT BEFORE IT, and a fuller explanation of The Book (Bible - on some issues) - wherein there is no doubt - from The Lord of The Worlds.
10:38. Or do they say, "He forged it"? Say: "Bring then
A SURA like unto it, and call (to your aid) anyone you can besides "I AM", if it be ye speak the truth!"
Sura 12:111. There is, in their stories, instruction for men endued with understanding. It is not a tale invented,
BUT A CONFIRMATION OF WHAT WENT BEFORE IT,- a detailed exposition of all things, and a Guide and a Mercy to any such as believe.
Sura 22:52.
Never did We send an Apostle or a Prophet before thee, but, when he framed a desire, Satan threw some (vanity) into his desire: but "I AM" will cancel anything (vain) that Satan throws in, and
"I AM" WILL CONFIRM (AND ESTABLISH) HIS SIGNS (
Sura 32:23): for "I AM" is full of Knowledge and Wisdom:
Sura 35:31. That which We have revealed to thee about The Book (Bible) is the Truth,-
CONFIRMING WHAT WAS (REVEALED) BEFORE: for "I AM" is assuredly - with respect to His Servants - well acquainted and Fully Observant.
Sura 46:12. And before this, was the Book of Moses (The Torah - The Law) as a guide and a mercy: and
THIS BOOK CONFIRMS (IT - THE TORAH) IN THE ARABIC TONGUE; to warn the unjust, and as Good News to those who do right.
Sura 61:6-7
61:6. And
REMEMBER, JESUS, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the Apostle of "I AM" (sent) to you,
CONFIRMING The Law (which came) before me (the Torah), and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be the Comforter (
John 16:7-15)." But when he came to them with Clear Signs (
John 14:15-18), they said, "this is evident sorcery (
Sura 32:23)!"
61:7. Who doth greater wrong than one who invents falsehood against "I AM" (
Sura 6:154-157), even as he is being
invited to do His Will? And "I AM" guides
not those who do wrong (Satan does).
Unfortunately, we apparently enjoy living in ignorance, and keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again by creating all of these organised religions, e.g.
Talmudic Judaism,
Roman Catholicism,
Protestantism, and
the "Islamic" sects/cults, etc., and expecting different results.
ALL corporate fictional organised religion, with its
fake teachers,
fake priests,
fake pastors,
fake rabbis,
fake imams, and
fake gurus, etc. puts up a totally unnecessary barrier between God and men because
NONE of them are actually mediators or teachers, nor do they work for God.
