| As Salam ali kum, To introduce myself, My name is Sayeed Khan and I'm 26 years old living in USA. I was born and brought up in India, but moved to USA since I was 16. Being living in this culture for so long, Alham dullilah, I keep myself away from all those things which have been declared as haram in our religion. But, I'm in love with a girl, who is a jeho-witness. I love her very much and Inshallah i've plans to marry her. But, The question is, Can I marry a jeho-witnes in Islam? Also, Its not that, I never tried to show her Islamic path. But anytime I try to approach her about our prohets and Islam, She raises the questions which I dont know anything about. (please see the below questions)with this regard, i'm here for help and hope some brother out there will help me in this. The questions: 1.) HOW CAN MUSLIMS BELIEVE THAT JESUS WAS THE MESSENGER, BUT THEN STILL GO BY THE OLD MOSAIC LAWS THAT THE JEWS GO BY WHEN THE JEWS DONT BELIEVE IN JESUS AS THE MESSENGER? 2.) THE MOSAIC LAW WAS THE LAWS OF THE LAND SET FORTH BY MOSES FOR THE PEOPLE OF CANAAN WAY BEFORE JESUS EVER CAME TO THE EARTH, JESUS IS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT ABOUT THE "NEW LAW" AND THAT WAS THE LAW OF LOVE. BEFORE JESUS CAME PEOPLE HAD NO HOPE OF EVERLASTING LIFE THEY JUST KNEW THAT IF THEY DID NOT FOLLOW THE MOSAIC LAW, THAT THEY WOULD DIE, BUT WHEN JESUS CAME HE INTRODUCED THE LAW OF LOVE BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WERE NOT LOVING EACH OTHER THEY WERE JUST OUT FOR THEMSELVES, SO WHEN HE INTRODUCED THE LAW OF LOVE THE MOSAIC LAW WAS TO BE NO MORE. 3.) IF YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS WAS THE MESSENGER THEN YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FOLLOWING THE MOSAIC LAW BECAUSE UNDER THE MOSAIC LAW THERE IS NOT HOPE OF EVERLASTING LIFE ON A PARADISE EARTH, AND THATB WOULD ALSO MEAN THAT THERE WAS NO PURPOSE FOR JESUS TO EVEN COME DOWN TO THE EARTH. WHICH MEANS YOU ARE SLAPPING THE MESSENGER IN THE FACE AND NOT HEADING HIS WARNING ABOUT ABOLISHING THE MOSAIC LAW. 4.) THE MOSAIC LAW SERVED A PURPOSE FOR A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD BUT OVER THE YEARS PEOPLE ABUSED THESE LAWS AND TOOK THEM TO THE EXTREME, NOBODY HAD ANY LOVE ALL THEY FOCUSED ON WAS WHETHER OR NOT THEIR NEIGHBOR WAS FOLLOWING THE MOSAIC LAW, AND IF THEY WERENT THEY COULD BE STONED OR THROWN IN JAIL, SO THATS WHY JESUS STOPED THAT AND INTRODUCED THE LAW OF LOVE. 5.)ALSO YOU KEEP REFFERING TO MOSES AS A MUSLIM BUT MOSES WAS THE SON OF A HEBREW SLAVE, AND HIS MOTHER HAD SENT HIM DOWN THE RIVER IN A BASKET BECAUSE THE PHAROAH AT THAT TIME WAS KILLING ALL HEBREW BOYS. SO AN EGYPTIAN WOMAN WHO WAS THE DAUGHTER OF THIS PHAROAH, BUT THESE PEOPLE WERE NOT MUSLIMS THEY WERE IDOL WORHSHIPPING EGYPTIANS WHO WORSHIPPED THE SUN GOD "RA" AND ALSO THE PHAROAH HIMSELF BELIEVED THAT HE WAS A GOD. 6.) ALSO THE ARAB RACE SHOULD HAVE NEVER EXISTED IT WAS PURELY BY MISTAKE BECAUSE ABRAHAMS WIFE SARAH HAD WANTED A CHILD FOR YEARS AND YEARS BUT SHE WAS BARON AND COULD NOT BECOME PREGNANT, SO GOD CAME TO ABRAHAM AND TOLD HIM SARAH WOULD HAVE A SON, BUT SARAH LAUGHED CAUSE SHE WAS OLD AND SHE DID NOT BELIEVE IT. SO SHE GAVE HER HAND MAIDEN TO ABRAHAM CAUSE SHE THOUGHT THATS WHAT GOD MEANT TO ABRAHAM AND A WOMAN NAMED "HAGAR" HAD A SON TOGETHER, BUT SHORTLY AFTER THAT SARAH HAD MERACULOUSLY GOTTEN PREGNANT, AND SHE HAD REALISED THAT SHE HAD DONE WRONG BY NOT HAVING FAITH IN GOD. SO HAGARS SON "ISHMAEL" AND SARAHS SON "ISAAC" WERE HALF BROTHERS "THE JEW AND THE ARAB" ISMAEL WAS THE BEGINING OF THE ARAB RACE WHICH SHOULD HAVE NEVER CAME ABOUT. ISAAC IS THE SON GOD INTENDED ARBRAHAM TO HAVE. THE REASON ARABS AND JEWS FIGHT TO THIS VERY DAY IS BECAUSE ISHMAEL WAS VERY JEALOUS OF ISAAC AND SARAH THOUGHT IT WAS BEST TO SEND HAGAR AND HER SON ISHMAEL AWAY. AND THAT SEPARATED THE JEWS AND THE ARABS FOREVER. THE MOSAIC LAW WAS DESIGNED TO BE A HARD LINE WAY OF LIFE TO MAKE PEOPLE SEE THE NEED FOR A "DELIVERER" OR A "RANSOMER" FOR THEIR SINS. BUT THE PEOPLE WERE NOT SEEING THE NEED FOR ONE. THEY WERE ALL CAUGHT UP IN THEIR OWN SELFISH ENDS. SO WHEN JESUS "THE RANSOM SACRIFICE" CAME THEY DIDNT LIKE HIM TELLING THEM THAT WHAT THEY WERE DOING WAS WRONG, ALSO THEY WERE TEACHING COMMANDS OF MEN AS DOCTRINES RATHER THEN TEACHINGS OF GOD. THEY ONLY TAUGHT THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANTED THEM TO BELIEVE NOT WHAT GOD WANTED THEM TO BE TAUGHT, SO THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS GOD SCARED, SO THEY PLOTTED TO PUT JESUS TO DEATH BECAUSE BY JESUS TELLING THE PEOPLE THAT THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS WERE HYPOCRITS AND VIPERS AND THAT THEIR FATHER WAS SATAN. SO THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS WERE ANGRY SO THEY WANTED TO PUT HIMTO DEATH SO THEY WOULD NOT LOSE THEIR POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE PEOPLE. SO AYUB HOW CAN YOU STILL GO BY THE MOSAIC LAW WHEN IT WAS SO BADLY USED BY THE JEWISH RELIGIOUS LEADERS OF THAT DAY. AND JESUS CAME TO THE EARTH TO PUT A STOP TO THIS LAW BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WERE NOT WORSHIPPING GOD BY THESE LAWS THEY WERE ONLY WORSHIPPING MEN BECAUSE PEOPLE FAIL TO REALISE THAT GOD IS LOVE. AND GOD WANTED PEOPLE TO REALISE THAT THEY STILL NEEDED GO TO SURVIVE RATHER THEN JUST MEN. SO JESUS WAS OUT TO DEATH AS A RANSOM SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS. AND THE LAW OF LOVE TOOK OVER. BUT WITHIN 3 DAYS JESUS'S BODY HAD DISSAPEARED AND HE WAS RESSURECTED, THATS WHEN JESUS CAME SECRETLY TO HIS DISCIPLES TO LET THEM KNOW THAT HE HAD INDEED BEEN REASSURECTED BECAUSE HE WANTED PEOPLE TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD AND HIS POWERS AND TO PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT THEY NEED GOD Thanks in advance and please help me out here. Please, If there is some documention listed on this site, which talks more in depth of the religion, Please point me to that also. |
