Spanish Version of Him Expressing his Admiration for Islam. Video # 1. Presentación del Experto Robert Baum, Judio (Versión en Español) donde este expresa su admiración por el Islam.

El Corán es una de las mejores fuentes sobre Judaísmo Medieval que usted pueda encontrar. Es una de las mejores fuentes sobre las historias de José ó Yusuf o de Móises o Musa que usted pueda conseguir y de igual modo no contamos con muchas fuentes en esos temas. Moises era un Rasull, “Un Mensajero de DIOS”, quién de acuerdo con algunos judíos recibió el Torah en su totalidad y el no fue quién lo escribió. Fue recibido y dictado por este quién lo recibió de la misma manera como describen los musulmanes que estos recibieron y se creó el Corán. En adición los judíos ortodoxos creen que Moises recibió una tradición de Ley Verbal (En forma Oral), que nadie vio pero que este pasó a los ancianos de su tiempo y que esto a su vez se pasó eventualmente a los Rábinos de su época y que se convirtió en la Base de la Ley Judía que después se conoció eventualmente como el “Talmud”. La similitud entre esto y lo que se conoce como los “Hadith” en la religión Musúlmana es asombrosa. El Judaísmo y el Islam son religiones que tienen reverencia por la “LEY” y el Estudio de la LEY y ven como las raíces de estas leyes y su base solidamente establecida en “Revelación Divina” y en tradiciones verbales de los mensajeros que produjeron u obtuvieron esa “Revelación”. En ese aspecto son “Primos”.
Similarmente “Jesús” o “Isa” era un Rasull, “Un Mensajero de DIOS”, y cuando le narro a mis amigos Cristianos lo que el Corán nos habla sobre Jesús ellos se sorprenden. Les sorprende que los Musulmanes crean que Jesús nació de una Virgén y por el mismo DIOS que creó a Adán con solo una palabra, o lo creó (a Adán) de arcilla y sopló vida en él. Aún cuando hay diferentes posturas en cuanto a como fueron creados los humanos no es nada para “EL” (DIOS) poder crear vida dentro de la matriz de la mujer sin esta haber sostenido intimidad con un hombre y los musulmanes siguen la creencia de que DIOS REALIZO UN MILAGRO CUANDO ESTE CREO A JESUS. ¿Cuándo le expreso a personas que si estos desean saber que era lo que María pensaba de todo esto? Les digo, no lean el nuevo testamento lean el SURAH MARYAM (SURAH 19 DEL SAGRADO CORAN) porque hay mucha más información sobre el miedo y el peligro en el que se colocó María al aceptar esa encomienda, en el Corán de la información que existe en le Nuevo Testamento.
Aprendemos mucha información adicional proveniente de las Escrituras de los demás (Islámicos) y la mayor parte de los Judíos y Cristianos ignoran, no saben sobre su existencia.

Scholar Robert Baum, Jewish (Spanish Version) of “Dhimi a Free and Protected People”.

Video # 2: Translation into spanish by Dr. Jesus Marti

Presentación por el expert Robert Baum sobre el Concepto de Dhimi.

En el estatus de Dhimis, tanto “Judios”, “Cristianos” y “Sabians” erán libres de prácticar sus religiones, libres de administrar sus propias ideas sobre leyes personales, libres de ser dueños de sus propiedades, libres para realizar transacciones comerciales y libres de ejercer y prácticar sus profesiones. No representa esto que les hayan concedido completa igualdad. Pero comparado con cualquier coas que hubiese existido antes del Siglo Séptimo (7), tanto Judios como Cristianos disfrutaban de una libertad inconcebible. La prueba sobre esto lo fue que cualquier denominación cristiana radical que existiera y estuviese en desacuerdo con Roma o Bizantino o con Constantinopla se encontraban en Egipto, Syria, Líbano, Palestina y en Iraq. Estos no se encontraban en España o Portugal donde existía la Inquisición. Se encontraban en países predominantemente Musulmanes, donde se protegían los derechos de cualquier grupo de Cristianos, ya fuera que creyeran que Jesús era completamente divino o completamente humano o que fueran dos personas separadas en Jesús. La condición era que se respetara la autoridad del Estado Islámico lo que les iba a permitir prácticar su religión. Teníamos muchas Iglesias Cristianas pequeñas que datan desde los tiempos del Apostol Pablo ubicadas en el medio este y no en ninguna otra parte del mundo. Ello se debió a la idea de los Dhimis que fue desarrollada en el Islam.
Los Judíos prosperaron en el mundo Islámico hasta el Siglo veinte (20). Aún continúan prosperando en el presente en lugares como Egipto hasta que la guerra de 1956 se desató y hasta que las tensiones sobre el conflicto Arabe-Israelí llegaron al punto en que comenzó a dificultarse la presencia de minorías Judias en el área del mundo Arabe. Pero no obstante, por casi mil quinientos (1500) años ese no fue el caso.
El estatus de Dhimi concedia a los Judios, Cristianos y Sabians Libertad de Culto y utilizando ese modelo a los Zoroastrianos se les concedió Libertad de Culto por igual y a los Hindúes se les brindó protección no igual o idéntica a la concedida a los Judios y Crsitianos pero de formas similares.

The danger of disrespecting your parents

The Holy Prophet (S) said. “One who displeases the parents, (it is as if) he has displeased Allah. One who angers both his parents (it is as if) he has angered Allah.” Elsewhere, it is mentioned, “One who hurts his parents, hurts me and one who hurts me has hurt Allah. And the one who hurts Allah is accursed.” Āq al-Walidayn is Not Eligible For Divine Forgiveness The wretchedness of the Āq al-Walidayn is sufficiently evident from the fact that the trustworthy Jibrīl (a.s.) has cursed him and said, “One who is blessed with parents but does not fulfill their (his parent’s) rights will not be forgiven (his sins) by Allah.” 3 When Jibrīl (a.s.) said this, the Holy Prophet (S) uttered, ‘Amen’! DONT disrespect, shout, ignore, annoy, disobey, disregard, disturb our parents. They were looking after us when we were nothing but an easy prey to anything around. They were awake during the nights to make us sleep and feel us secured. We may not remember a thing in the childhoo...

Medical, Scientific and religious Reasons for not Eating Pork:

People ask me all the time, Why don't you eat pork? ...Is it for  religious reasons? ...Are you vegetarian? Are you a Muslim or a Jew  ? Do you know that pork taste good ? Honestly, just today I was even asked for sound scientific evidence affirming the danger of eating pork. I will share a few findings with you. Medical and Scientific Reasons for not Eating Pork: This is a direct quote from "What the Bible Says About Healthy Eating" by Dr. Rex Russell. He attended Baylor School of Medicine in Houston, Texas and did his residency at the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota. Let us watch this short video , let the conversation begin: "One reason for God's rule forbidding pork is that the digestive system of a pig is completely different from that of a cow. It is similar to ours, in that the stomach is very acidic. Pigs are gluttonous, never knowing when to stop eating. Their stomach acids become diluted because of the volume of food, allowing all kind...

An open letter to Jehovah Witness :

A letter to Jehovah Witness by Rachidm: Dear Jehovah’s Witnesses: I would like to share with you some biblical research based upon my discussions with Jehovah’s Witnesses friends. My wife used to be a Jehovah Witness. When we got married, I, as a  Muslim told her ; "you have the right to practice your religion". I even offered to give her a ride if needed to the Kingdom hall ( Jehovah Witness place of worship ) .  With an open mind, I supported her and told her I would never mind her practicing and preaching her religion. During our first couple years  of blessed and happy marriage together, I was privileged to engage with my parents in law (upon their request) in a comparative study between Islam and their beliefs. Although they were discouraged from dialogue since they believe their way is the only correct way, I always enjoyed a good open discussion about religion in general. My Mom in law offered me a copy of the New World Translation...

“And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden”. (Quran 35:18)

The idea of Jesus dying on the cross is central to the Christian belief.  It represents the conviction that Jesus died for the sins of mankind.  The crucifixion of Jesus is a vital doctrine in Christianity; however Muslims reject it completely.  Before describing what Muslims believe about Jesus’ crucifixion, it may be useful to understand the Islamic reaction to the notion of original sin. When Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree in paradise, they were not tempted by a serpent.  It was Satan who deceived and cajoled them, whereupon they exercised their free will and made an error in judgement.  Eve does not bear the burden of this mistake alone.  Together, Adam and Eve realised their disobedience, felt remorse and begged for God’s forgiveness.  God, in his infinite mercy and wisdom, forgave them.  Islam has no concept of original sin; each person bears responsibility for his own deeds. “And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s bur...

THE DOCTRINE OF ORIGINAL SIN

Greetings of peace, This post is an answer to a new friend whom I recently met and respect , a devout Christian  passionate about sharing his religion with others , who challenged me to provide some proofs regarding why Muslims don't accept the doctrine of  original sin; a doctrine ( including the concept of trinity ) that  was  added by the Church at the Council of Nicaea some 325 years after Jesus left the earth.  Notice I say left the earth ( meaning resurected alive by Allah )  and not died yet or crucify as some claims ,  but that is a topic for another day. Back to the doctrine of original sin. Are we born with so called Original sin or born innocent ? Is a Newly Born Baby really a Sinner? Islam Challenges The Concept of Original Sin. Let us found out why ? let's take a look at the following passages from The Bible: (Deuteronomy 24:16)   “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children...
