Why do Muslims claim
that the Bible is corrupted?
The Muslims believe that with the different
version of the Bible (i.e, King James, New International
Version, etc.) that the Bible
cannot be trusted as a legitimate source of God's word.
What they fail to realize that the Old Testament is written
in Hebrew and the New Testament is written in Greek, neither
in English. These originals have NOT changed. They were
translated into these versions to further our understanding
of God's Word

My
husband is a Muslim and I'm a
Christian. I want him to see the truth about Christianity.
Can you
recommend some books that he could read?
The books I would recommend
would be Islam Revealed for you, to help you understand
the problems with Islam written by a Palestinian Christian
whose ancestors many years ago were Muslim.
For your husband I would
recommend The True Furqan. Because of the similarity of
The True Furqan to the Quran in language, substance and
style and also being in Classical Arabic and English, he
may find it very appealing.
Please remember the power
of the Word of God by suggesting he read the gospel of John.
Then on your part, praying
and fasting for your husband's salvation always helps.
Does the Quran
have chapter names like the Bible?
The Quran is just one book, the book has 114 chapters,
which are called "Surahs", which basically means
"chapters." To facilitate studying the Quran we
use chapter numbers instead of titles for each chapter.
However, in my book Islam Revealed I use both
Dr Shorrosh - Are you Muslim?
In the sense that I have submitted myself to God
- Yes. Am I Islamic - No. Christian missionaries came to
my homeland over 500 years ago and led my ancestors to Christ.
I personally gave my life to Christ while I was a young
man.

I have heard Muslims say that
Jesus himself never claimed to be God's Son. Is this so?
Islam very often misquotes the Bible. Read John 10:30
- I and the Father are one and
John 10:36 - ...why
then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, "I
am God's Son'?
What is the
full meaning of the word, MUSLIM?
The Muslims religious understanding of the word, Muslim,
is "one who has surrendered one's will to Allah."
However, the original Arabic meaning of "Sal-ama",
or Muslim, means "He has given up, or surrendered,"
as in a battle field, where the person has been defeated
and has surrendered, rather than be killed. Although, the
word can also mean "he has brought greetings".
The usage of the word Muslim to Christians is that "one
is forced into accepting or surrendering to Islam, rather
than being killed".
In short, Islam as a religion, never grew until Muhammad
took up the sword and waged 66 battles in 10 years throughout
Arabia. History vindicates the fact that every country which
accepted Islam, did so by the sword, except Indonesia. For
further info, consult my book Islam Revealed.
What is the role of women
in Islam?
The Quran teaches that women are to be treated as a
possession, not as an equal to men. Muslim men are allowed,
under Islamic Law, to have 4 wives. Women do not have any
rights to their husband's property when he dies. For more

When Muslims are
called to pray, what is being chanted over the loud speakers?
Answer: Allahhu
Akbar (see below for meaning)
What are the meanings
of the Moon and Sword of the
Islamic symbol?
The Bible states that when God created the
sun, it is called in Arabic "alnoor alakbar" which
means "the greater light". We are also told that
the moon is called "alnoor alasghar" meaning "the
lesser light".
However, the Bedouins of Arabia reversed the order because
they did not like the heat in their desert and thus called
the moon "akbar". Inasmuch as the pagans before
Muhammad worshiped the moon as one of their 360 idols and
gods, the moon was eventually elevated to the supreme god
and called "akbar". The archeologists have found
that the largest temples in Arabia were dedicated to this
moon god.
Muhammad appeased the citizens of Mecca and Arabia by
accepting Akbar as the supreme god with the phrase "Allahhu
Akbar". It actually means "the god is akbar".
You see, "elah" means "a god". But "Allah",
means "the god".
Therefore, Muslims have this crescent moon on top of their
mosques, they live by a lunar calendar and they have a chapter
in the Quran called "the Moon". Strange enough,
they do not have a chapter called "the Sun".
Finally, I must remind you that the 17 million Arab Christians
hold firm to the belief that Islam is the religion of the
sword, without which you would have never heard of Muhammad
or his religion.
Do you have any literature
to help me understand
the Islamic Relegion?
Yes. Click HERE or on the Tools
button above where we have a listing of various flyers that
go into detail about specific topics in the Islamic Religion
Since the September 11,
2001 attacks on our country, we have heard from our Government
Leaders,
The Media, and Islamic Clergy/Scholars that Islam is a peaceful
religion. They further state that terrorists
are made up of only a small group of extremists. Lately,
questions are starting to arise as to the validity
of those claims. The Quran has many, verses that call for
violence towards anyone that does not believe
and follow the ways of Islam. But don't take our word for
it, Click HERE to read them
for yourself.
