For the benefit of Christian readers, this introduction provides some essential information about Islam in addition to the Islamic attitude towards Christianity and the Bible:
Who is Allah?
Say (O Muhammad): he is Allah,the One and only;
Allah, to Whom the creatures turn for their needs;
He begets not, nor was He begagotten; and there is none like to Him." (Qur'an, 112:1-4)
'Allah'(subhanna wat'ala) is the name of the God of Muslim, Christians and Jews. He is the God of
Prophet Moses'peace be upon him'(pbuh), Prophet Jesus (pbuh),
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and all the other Prophets.
The name 'Allah'(subhanna wat'ala) is not a new name, but rather the true name of God. it is used by Muslims as well as arabic-speaking Christians.
...and say: "We believe in that which has been revealed
to us and revealed to you (Jews and Christians);" (Qur'an,29:46)
what is Qur'an?
The Qur'an is the literal Word of Allah revealed to his Prophet Muhammad (pbuh),
through the angel Gabriel, about fourteen hundred years ago.
The Qur'an is the eternal miracle of Islam.
Allah(subhanna wat'ala) has Challenged mankind to produce anything to match it
or even match one short chapter of it, yet no human has ever been able to meet the Challenge.
And if you are in doubt about what We have reveald to Our slave (Muhammad), then produce a chapter of the like thereof, and call your witness (supporters and helpers) besides Allah if you are truthful. (Qur'an,2:23)
IS GOD UNHELPFUL?
What the Bible Says
Hear my prayer,O Lord, listen to my cry for help; be not deaf to my weeping....(Psalm 39:12)
Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression? (Psalm44:24)
What the Qur'an SAys
And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then I am indeed close (to them ). I respond to the prayer of the supplicant when he alls on Me. So that they may be led aright. (Qur'an 2:186)
Is not He best Who responds to the soul distressed when it calls on Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth? Is there any god with Allah? Little is that you heed! (Qur'an, 27:62)
DOES GOD SLEEP?
What the Bible Says
Then the Lord awake as from sleep, as a man wakes from the stupor of wine. (Psalm 78:65)
Awake, O lord! Why do you sleep? rouse yourself!...(Psalm 44:23)
What the Qur'an Says
Allah, none has the right to be worshiped but He, the Ever Living, the One who who sustains and protects
all that exists. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens
and whatever is on the earth. (Qur'an, 2 255)
ipag patuloy po natin ang talakayang ito sa pagkat dito nyo makikita ang dalawang kasulatan kung sino ang mayganap na katutuhanan.
IS GOD UNJUST?
What the Bible Says
....Aweke, my God; decree justice, (Psalm 7:6)
why does the Almighty not set times for judgment?....(Job 24:6)
Let God weigh me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless. (Job 31:6
then know that God has wronged me and drawn his net around me. Though I cry, 'I've been wronged!
I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice. (Job 19:6-7)
What the Qur'an Says
Truly, Allah wrongs not mankind in aught, but mankind wrong themselves. (Qur'an 10:44)
Surely, Allah wrongs not even of the weight of an atom, but if there is any good deeds, He doubles it and
gives from Him a great reward.(Qur"an 4:40)
Think not Allah is unaware of what the wicked do. but He gives them a respites till a Day when eyes will stare in terror. (Qur'an 14:42)
dito naman tayo sa description sa taga paglikha ayon sa (Bibliya at Qur'an)

What the Bible Says
...they trembled because he (God) was angry. Smoke rose from his (God) nostrils; consuming fire came from his (God, burning coals blazedout of it.(2 Samuel 22:8-9)
(GOD rides an angel (cherub) )
And he (God) rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind. (2 Samuel 22:11)(KJV)
What the Qur'an Says
And who can be more unjust than he who invents a lia against Allah. (Qur'an, 6:93)
There is nothing like Him; and He is the All- Hearer, the All-seer (Qur'an 42:11)
So invent not similitudes for Allah ( as there is nothing similar to him, nor He resembles anything). Truly, Allah knows and you know not. (Qur'an, 16:74)
CAN GOD BE SEEN?
What Bible Says
So Jacob called the place peniel, saying,"it is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.(Genesis32:30)
Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel...
(Exodos24:9-10)
contradicting Verses from the Bible
But, he (God) said," you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live"....(Exsodus 33:20)

DOES GOD RELAX?
What the Bidle Says:
...for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. (Exodus 31:17) (KJV)
...on the seventh day he (God) rested from all his work. (Genesis 2:2)
What the Qur'an Says
And indeed We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six days
and nothing of fatigue touched us. So bear with patience (O Muhammad) all that they say,
and glorify the praises of your Lord, before the rising of the sun and before setting. And during a part of the night glorify His praises and after the prayers...
We are best aware of what they say. and you (O Muhammad) are not one to force them (to belief); but warm by the Qur'an him who fears My threat. (Qur'an, 50:38-45)
Say (O Muslims):"We beleave in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent
down to Abraham,Ishmail, Isaac, Jacob, and to the Tribes, and that which has been given to Moses and Jesus,and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord.
We make no distinction between any of t5hem, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)."(Qur'an,2:136)
The Qur'an mentioned the names of the some of those Books: Scriptures of Abraham, the Torah, the Zabur(Psalms), and the Injeel (Gospel). The Scriptures of Abraham were completely lost,
while some part of the original Torah, Psalms and Gospel are still preserved in the bible mixed with
what people's own hands wrote, as confirmed in the Qur'an:
Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands
and then say, This is from Allah," to puschase
with it little price! Woe to them for what their hands have written
and woe to them for that they earn thereby. (Qur'an,2:79)
