Peace upon you
Without a doubt, you have often heard the claim that Jesus is Allah, the second person in the "Holy trinity." However, the very Bible which is used as a basis for knowledge about Jesus and as the basis for doctrine within Christianity clearly belies this claim. We urge you to consult your own Bible and verify that the following conclusions are not drawn out of context:
1. Allah is All Knowing.....but Jesus was notWhen speaking of the day of judgment, Jesus clearly gave evidence of a limitation on his knowledge when he said, "but of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the son, but the Father." Mark 13:32, and Matt 24:36. But Allah knows all. His knowledge is without any limitations. That Jesus, of his own admission, did not know when the day of judgment would be, is clear proof that Jesus is not all-knowing, and that Jesus is therefore not Allah.
2. Allah is All Powerful.....but Jesus was notWhile Jesus performed many miracles, he himself admitted that the power he had was not his own but was derived from Allah when he said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do..." St. John 5:19. Again he said, "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." St. John 5:30. But Allah is not only all-powerful, He is also the source of all power and authority. That Jesus, of his own admission, could do nothing on his own is clear proof that Jesus is not all-powerful, and that therefore Jesus is not Allah.
3. Allah does not have a Allah.....but Jesus did have a Allah.Allah is the ultimate judge and refuge for all, and He does not call upon nor pray to any others. But Jesus acknowledged that there was one whom he worshipped and to whom he prayed when he said, "l ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my Allah and your Allah." St. John 20:17. He is also reported to have cried out while on the cross, "My Allah, my Allah why hast thou forsaken me?" Matt 27:46.
If Jesus were Allah, then couldn't this be read, "Myself, myself why hast thou forsaken me?" Would that not be pure nonsense? When Jesus prayed the Lord's prayer (Luke 11:2-4), was he praying to himself? When in the garden of Gethsemane he prayed, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: Nevertheless not as I will but as thou wilt." Matt 26:36-39. Was Jesus praying to himself? That Jesus, of his own admission and by his own actions, acknowledged, worshipped, and prayed to another being as Allah is clear proof that Jesus himself is not Allah.
4. Allah is an invisible spirit.....but Jesus was flesh and bloodWhile thousands saw Jesus and heard his voice, Jesus himself said that this could not be done with Allah when he said. "No man hath seen Allah at any time." St. John 1:18. '"Ye have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His shape." St. John 5:37. He also said in St. John 4:24. "Allah is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." That Jesus would say that no one had seen or heard Allah at any time, while his followers both saw and heard him, is clear proof that Jesus was not Allah.
5. No one is greater than Allah and no one can direct Him but Jesus acknowledged someone greater than himself whose will was distinct from his own.Perhaps the clearest indication we have that Jesus and Allah are not equal, and therefore not one and the same, come again from the mouth of Jesus himself who said in St. John 14:28, "My Father is greater than I." When someone referred to him as good master in Matt 19:17, Jesus responded, "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is Allah..." Furthermore, Jesus drew clear distinctions between himself and Allah when he said, "I proceeded forth and came from Allah, neither came I of myself but He sent me." St. John 8:42. Jesus gave clear evidence of his subordination to Allah, rather than his equality with Allah,when he said in Luke 22:42, "not my will but thine be done" and in St. John 5:30, "I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which hath sent me." That Jesus would admit that he did not come into the world on his own initiative but was directed to do so, that he would acknowledge another being as greater than himself, and that he would negate his own will in deference to affirming the will of another, give clear proof that Jesus is not the Supreme One and therefore Jesus is not Allah.
ConclusionThe Church recognizes the Bible as the primary source of knowledge about Allah and Jesus. But since the Bible makes it clear that Jesus is not the Supreme Being and the Supreme Being is not Jesus, upon what basis have you come to believe otherwise?My brother or sister, the belief that the Supreme Being is a Trinity is false and completely inconsistent with the words of Jesus as presented in the Bible. Allah is one, not three. He is a perfect unity. If you are interested in the truth about Allah and your relationship to Him, we invite you to investigate the religion of Islam.
Finally, ask Allah pardon and forgiveness and emancipation from the fire
