Let Us Reason - A Christian/muslim Dialogue

In this episode Al Fadi and Sam Shamoun discuss passages from the Quran and other quranic sources that is telling muslims to pray to Mohammad for the forgiveness of their sins.  By doing that Muhammad made himself the muslims saviour and make them believe that they do not need Jesus as a saviour.  Not to mention that by that claim he is making himself equal to God who forgives sin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sam and Al Fadi continue to discuss the dilemma of who God is praying to in Islam; when muslims pray five times a day saying;"Sala Allah Alayhi wa sallam". Is God praying to Mohammad or to himself? If Allah is invoking Mohammad; does that mean that Allah is equal to Mohammad? That is a massive dilemma.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To worship; Dua'a; supplication are the same thing.  Al Fadi and Sam Shamoun continue to discuss what it means that God worships.  It could mean that he is praying to himself, praying to other Gods, or He is more than one person.

In the Quran 33:43,56, Why does Allah,his angel and muslims pray, and to whom? Al Fadi and Sam Shamoun explain.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sam Shamoun with Al Fadi answer the muslim objection: if Jesus is God why the is he praying to the Father? 1. The three eternal persons of the one triune God has fellowship with one another, and prayer is a form of fellowship (John 17: 5,24).  2. Jesus became flesh(man), he became the perfect man who loved, obeyed, and worshiped God( John 1:14, 6:38).  3. Psalm 102: 25-27, Hebrews 1: 8-12) shows that the Father also glorify and praises the son. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Muslims believe that the Quran we have today is an exact replica of the Quran in the time of Muhammad (7th century),and it is  completely preserved in heaven.  Al Fadi says that we do not have a complete 7th century Quran that matches today's 1924 edition of the Quran.  He adds that today's Quran was standardized in 1924 (Cairo edition), and It was based on oral transmission and not on any manuscripts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Quran(4:71) appears to attack the false trinity (God,Jesus,and Mary).  It also affirms that Jesus is God's word and a Sprit of God, which makes him equal to God and divine.  Listen to Al Fadi as he gives explanation from both the Quran and the Bible to prove that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Quran says that Christian believe that Allah(God) is one third of three members(Q 5: 73-75); Who are these three according to the Quran? What do Bible believing Christians and the Bible say what the trinity is? Do Christians believe in more than one God? Does the Quran make a sound argument when it accuses the Christian of worshiping three Gods? listen as Al Fadi explains.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Muslims attack the doctrine of the trinity saying that christians worship three gods.  They also say that the term trinity is never mentioned in the bible.  Al Fadi explains that the muslim doctrine of tawheed does not mean one,but means to unify into one.  Also the word tawheed is not mentioned in the Quran.  Listen to the episode to learn more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 Al Fadi shares a summary of the different ministries that was done in the past year and shares a glimpse of what is going to happen in the year to come.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi explains the meaning of Christmas; that it is the birth of Christ who came to the world as a baby.  God in the flesh. He fullfilled old testament prophecies and died on the cross to save us from our sin.  He took our punishment to satisfy God's justice.  And if we believe in him we are saved and have eternal life. But if we don't believe we are under God's judgment and wrath(John 3:16-18). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi discusses two facebook posts that deals with the doctrine of Tawheed in Islam:  1. If Allah is one, why is it then that Muhammad is made equal to him? ie. Q 3:31& 48:10.    2. If Allah is one and worthy of worship,why then did he ask the angels to prostrate to Adam?Q15:29. Allah =Adam   3. He also talks about a public challenge on Dec 10, saying: If Muhammad is not a god, then prove to us that muslims can be saved without mentioning the name of Muhammad next to Allah in the shahada?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi talks about two FB posts; 1. Dec.5.  he calls it "Massive Dilemma" ; Q33:56, says that "Allah and the angels pray upon Muhammad..". How can a creator pray upon a creature? 2. Dec.2.  A claim that the Quran is infalable, perfect and complete book. If muslims are honest to themselves they can't claim that the Quran has never changed through the years. Al gives the reasoning behind that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi talks about three facebook posts: 1. Jesus is God according to the Quran. In John 5:21-29, Jesus says that he has the power to raise the dead, give eternal life, and judge the world. Since the Quran agrees that Jesus raised people from the dead and he is going to be the judge, therfore the Quran agrees that Jesus is God. 2. The Quran says that God spoke to some messengers directly(Moses); If Muhammad was the final prophet,  why didn't God speak to him directly? 3. If Muhammad is a prophet like Moses why didn't he preach salvation by blood attonment?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is the earliest Quranic manuscripts called,and what century is it dated to? What is the modern day standard Quran called? Is the Quran we have today an exact replica of the one found during Muhammad's time? Is the muslim claim that the Quran they have has a replica in heaven true ? Who collected the Quran, and how? Al Fadi answers these questions and more in this episode of Let Us Reason.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi talks about what Jesus' came to do with the law(Matthew 5:17)? What did Jesus' fulfillment of the law accomplish? What does the Greek word for abolish mean?  Since Jesus fulfilled the law and we are no longer under the law, Does that mean we have a license to sin?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi responds to the claim by a muslim that in Mark 9:49,Jesus said that" all christians will go to hell". Al explains what Jesus really said and why. He points out that there was no mention of the word christian in the verse. Does the Quran say that muslims will go to hell?  He explains the reason for blocking. Al also discusses the original sin and what  muslims and the Quran say it is. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi discusses a facebook post called,Serious Dilemma, on Oct. 17, about Q96: 1.  He says:Muhammad claimed that verse to be the first revelation he had ever received from Allah through Gabriel when he was in the cave. He goes on to explain that Q96:1 never says that Muhammad is the intended person, nor the Quran is what is revealed, not that Allah is the one who revealed it, nor that Gabriel was the one who delivered this revelation.  He challenges muslims to resolve this serious dilemma.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi talks about the challenge that a muslim posted  on October 11 that the doctrine of the trinity is unbiblical.  Al Fadi explains that though the word trinity is not found in the Bible,but the concept is found all over the old and the new testaments.  He counter the challenge by another post on October 14 that  says :"prove to us that the word "Ahad" means one from the  Quran".  You can go to Cirainternational u tube for more details.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1. Does Q 42: 51 support that Allah communicated with Muhammad by an angel? Does that verse name the angel as Gabriel?  2. A challenge on Det.6:4,The Lord is one. "Please prove to us that in the Quran the word"Ahad" means "one"?  3.  Massive Dilemma: Did Muhammad know and preach his god in Q 21: 108? Al says that loving muslims is challenging their theology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
