The Islamic View of Jesus (PBUH)
Jesus the Miracle Baby, The Prophet of Allah his Second Coming are amongst many of the issues discussed in this book. As well as prophethood and apostleship, Jesus was honoured with many other great qualities and characteristics. The Quran says, with reference to his honour : ‘Remember when the angels said, ‘Allah is giving you the glad tidings of a word from Him, who’s name shall be Masih, I`sa (Jesus) alayhis salaam, Son of Maryam (Mary), honoured in this world and in the Hereafter and from the rank of those close to Him.’ TMQ 3/45. Imam Ibn Kathir adds, ‘Jesus’ rank was extremely high in this world and also in the hereafter.
Jesus was given the Injil (Gospels) and the power to cure the leper and the blind and to bring back to life those who had already died, he was also helped by the angel Gabriel on many occasions.’ All this was part of worldly honour. He was also endowed with great wisdom and knowledge, as the Quran says: ‘And Allah will teach him the book and wisdom and Torah and Injeel (Gospels).’ 3/48. ‘Then Allah says, ‘O Jesus, the Son of Maryam (Mary)! Recount my favour upon you and your mother, when I strengthened you with the angel Gabriel so that you speak to people in childhood and maturity and when I taught you the book and wisdom and Torah and Injeel.’ 5/110. Imam Ibn Kathir(d.774/1352) has said, in explanation of this verse that I’sa (Jesus) was given the talent of writing and that Al Kitab in this verse actually means Al Kitabah, which refers to writing ,as it is a noun in the meaning of its verb, and this would signify that Jesus was not unlettered.

What You Weren t Taught In Sunday School explores seven different aspects of Christian history that are typically not known by the Christian laity. In the first chapter, the centuries-long arguments about the contents of the Christian Bible are brought to light, as well as the fact that Christianity has never agreed as to what actually constitutes either the Old Testament or the New Testament. The second chapter details how Paul of Tarsus corrupted the message of Jesus Christ and how he was frequently at violent odds with the earliest form of Christianity as taught by the Jerusalem Church of James the Just and the actual disciples of Jesus. The third chapter explores the shocking Biblical history of Holy War and genocide. Chapters four and five narrate a number of Biblical curiosities and some of the changes that have been rendered to the Biblical text over the centuries, changes that occasionally result in a clear distortion of the original text. Chapter six presents the portrayal of Jesus as found in Jewish and Islamic literature, while chapter seven debunks the erroneous myth of the Christian foundations of America. Taken together, these seven chapters expose the reader to those aspects of Christian history that certainly aren t taught in Sunday school.

The Invisible Empire: Remote Control, Geopolitics and The Revelation of The Phantom Menace is a “Macabre Classic” that is all about gaining real insight into why religion is under attack in every corner of the world, precisely who is in fact behind these attacks and why they are deemed necessary and how these attacks are directly related to the great experiment that in fact lies behind one world government, the military-industrial complex and the culture of perpetual fear, warfare, invasion, cultural devaluation and ceaselessly escalating debt that some of America’s most loyal, dedicated and informed leaders from Abraham Lincoln to William McKinley to Dwight D. Eisenhower to John F. Kennedy have warned us about for nearly two centuries and several have given their lives trying to combat.
I travel all over the world and when I tell people that I am American I am immediately inundated with questions about why America is so obsessed with fear, instability, war and attempting to run other nation’s business solely in America’s own national interests and after a decade of being inundated with the same questions I decided to write a book that directly, and in fact correctly, addresses the issues that many people outside of America find so distressing. The Invisible Empire is a work that is an in-depth analysis of why people think that President Obama is either the Antichrist or an Inconceivably Stellar Pimp, why all major industrialized nations are fact satellites as opposed to truly sovereign nations, why America is mortally obsessed with spreading freedom and democracy, why America feels that it cannot pull out of the war on terrorism, why Americans cannot get rid of guns, why America is completely obsessed with pitting itself against militant cultures from The American Indians to The Empire of Japan to The Vietnamese to The Bosnians to The Afghans, the precise identity of the Kalki Avatar, the religious motivations that in fact lie behind America’s culture of relentless militarism, religion’s core objective and religion in its purest form, the real reason that Lucifer and his angels were cast down from heaven, how the Bible is a superweapon, why America views The Islamic World as a threat, Christian Jihad and why the crusades still rage on today, the cordoning of the nuclear weapon, the cyclical reoccurrence of Armageddon, why America is called God’s country and why America feels that it has the God given right to run other nation’s business solely in its own interests.
The Invisible Empire also thoroughly explains how the global cycle of relentless violence in fact starts during the process of inception, the great mysteries of why there is Hindi on The Infamous Georgia Guide Stones, the race to arm, finance, nationalize and commercially exploit the African continent, why black men don’t fear terrorism, how and why numbers are the world’s oldest, slowest and most effective poison, why humanity simply does not add up, why the dramatic increase in the crime rate has evenly paralleled the dramatic increase in the rate of literacy, why gangsterdom and religion have simultaneously been abandoned, the total disintegration of the American family and American Family Values, why American men are obsessed with marrying foreign women, the exodus from white women, the lesbianism, self-isolation and suicidal depression of black women, and the effects of a century of legal profiteering.

- Product Dimensions: 4.9 x 0.6 x 7.4 inches
Of the many books explaining Islam, few specifically address the concerns and questions of those from a Christian background. Moreover, the commonalities between the Abrahamic faiths—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—are too often ignored. Set out in an easy and informative question-and-answer format, the book addresses the specific theological points of agreement and difference between Christianity and Islam, explains the core religious beliefs and practices of Islam, and answers today’s most common questions of Islam and Muslims in an age when there is much conflict and misunderstanding. Islam is best judged not by the limitations and transgressions of its most extreme, ignorant, and outlandish followers, but by the example of its moderate majority, and Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood presents this introduction to the theology and practice of Islam in an attempt to explore some of the false impressions that surround it.
Table of Contents:
Section 1: The Religious Beliefs of Islam Explained
Section 2: the Religious Duties of Islam Explained
Section 3: Miscellaneous Questions
Section 4: Christianity and IslamRuqaiyyah Waris Maqsood gained an honors degree in Christian Theology from the University of Hull in 1963 and then taught religious studies at various state schools until her retirement in 1996. She converted to Islam in 1986 and now lectures and writes on Islam.
