Darko Bulatovic - Muslims, knowing Allah allowed for Jews and Christians to mislead them self by corrupting the text, what assurance did you get from Allah that you are special in that regard?

Muhammad Rasheed - The question asks me, as a Muslim, to ignore common sense and historical knowledge to blindly convert to the caricatured strawman form of Islam that xenophobic online hate trolls invented to mock the faith.

There’s a network of online Christian missionaries (Sam Shamoun, Christian Prince, GodLogic, etc.) who specialize in using semantic word play and the deliberate twisting of Islamic concepts to convert their preferred prey—third world, poorly-studied ‘cultural Muslims’—to Christianity, and “Allah allowed for Jews and Christians to mislead them self[sic]” is one of those disingenuous twists. It gives the impression that the Qur’an is saying that the Jews and Christians went into a zombie-like trance and inadvertently corrupted their texts without realizing it, when in fact, the corruption was very much a conscious, deliberate act, the mentality of which was not present among the early Muslims, whose fire of faith zeal inspired them to actively want to preserve the Word of God their prophet preached with full devotion. Obviously, the Jews and Christians NEVER had such an attitude about their books, and seemed to take for granted that there would always be a new prophet coming along to return them to the Path (while they protested the holy mission kicking-n-screaming, mind you), so they held no sense of urgency that they should strictly record what the prophets preached from their Lord.

Allah allowed this because it is humanity’s job to manage our affairs based on what was revealed. If we decide to mismanage the gifts given to us by our Guardian Lord—no matter who we are—then we will answer for our choices on the Day of Judgment. The Question’s author wants to pin his people’s poor guardianship of their book on God, when that demonstration of a lack of accountability is not how any of this works at all.

Darko Bulatovic - Haha there is a difference between you and me.

I know I will stand to Allah alone and have to prove I loved those who believe in Him.

Muhammad Rasheed - Those who directly corrupted the text will be held accountable for what they did, and those of you who blindly support their corruption will be held accountable for what you did. And you will indeed do so standing alone before your Lord.

Darko Bulatovic - What will be with people like you? Who know nothing for certain but judged by hear-say? You have shown evidence or detailed knowledge of what exactly? Of nothing.

Muhammad Rasheed - Darko wrote: “What will be with people like you?”

Whatever God so Wills, naturally. In scripture, He said that people like me—who believe in our Lord unseen—will receive forgiveness and a great reward.

Darko wrote: “Who know nothing for certain but judged by hear-say?”

Do you think the inerrant Word of God is “hear-say?” How foolish.

Darko wrote: “You have shown evidence or detailed knowledge of what exactly? Of nothing.”

Am I expected to believe that a creature like you is somehow a respecter of knowledge & evidence? lol The nature of your original question above reveals this is not at all the case.
