“CHRISTIANITY”
(Maseehiyah)
A brief introductory outline for
Islamic students of Madrasah
Aljuneid Al-Islamiyyah.

(PERGAS)
MESSAGE FROM THE QUR’AN
“Call thou (all mankind) unto thy

Sustainer’s path, with wisdom and goodly
exhortation, and argue with them in the
most kindly manner: for behold, thy
Sustainer knows best as to who strays
from His path, and best knows He as to
who are the rightly guided.”
(Qur’an: Surah an-Nahlu: 16: 125)

“There shall be no coercion (forcing)

in matters of faith.
Distinct has now become,
the right way from (the way of)
error. “ (Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 256)

“O people of the Book! Do not overstep the
bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs,
and do not say of Allah anything but the
truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but
Allah’s messenger –[the fulfillment of] His
promise which He had conveyed unto Mary –
a soul created by Him. Believe then, in Allah
and His Messengers, and do not say, “[God
is] a trinity.” Desist ]from this assertion] for
your own good, Allah is but One God; utterly
remote is He in His glory from having a son;
unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens
and all that is on earth; and none is as
worthy of trust as Allah.” (Qur’an: an-Nisa’:
4: 171)
“CHRISTIANITY (AS IS NOW KNOWN) IS NOT
THE RELIGION OF JESUS A.S. BUT A RELIGION
CREATED FROM THE LIFE AND ‘DEATH’ OF
JESUS.” -
Not merely the Islamic

perspective but acknowledged
too by other historians,
theologians and objective
scholars.

WHEN AND HOW THE TERM
“CHRISTIANITY” CAME
ABOUT?
 Jesus a.s. was sent to the Israelite (Bani
Israel).
“ He (Jesus) answered: ‘I was sent

only to the lost sheep of the House
of Israel’ ” (Mathew:15:24)

ABOUT?
Jesus a.s. was sent in continuation of prophethood
amongst the Israelite (Bani Israel) and enjoined
them to follow the Law.
“Think not that I have come to abolish the

law and the prophets, I have come not to
abolish but to fulfill. For truly, I say to you,
till heaven and earth pass away, not an
iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until
all is accomplished.” (Mathew:5:17)
ABOUT?
 Jesus a.s. spoke “Aramaic” (a

Hebrew dialect) almost similar
to Arabic.

ABOUT?
 He was referred to with the
title “Messiah” (Hebrew) which
is the equivalent to “al-Maseeh”
in Arabic - in both languages it
means “the anointed one” from
the root word ‘masaha’ – i.e. “to
wipe, rub over with, anoint”.

ABOUT?
 The word “messiah” was later

translated into Greek which is
“Kristos” (which has the meaning
of ‘the anointed’). And from this
Greek word it was kept in use,
even in English with the Latinized
spelling “Christ”. From this we get
the word “Christians”.
ABOUT?
 we are told that many years after Jesus time
(circa 100 CE), at a place called Antioch, the
remnant followers of Jesus, was ridiculed,
persecuted and mocked by their enemies.
These Greek people started to refer them
(followers of the prophet Jesus a.s. at that
time) as “these are Christians”, implying
wrongly that they “worshipped Jesus” –
whereas they were of the Judaic tradition that
believed in monotheism (One God).

ABOUT?
“… the real founder of

Christianity is actually
Paul…”
(Michael S Hart “The 10 Most influential
personality in History”)
ABOUT?
Jesus a.s. came for the Jews but Paul was
interested to popularize this teaching
amongst the Hellenized world (Romans and
Greek). Scholars considered him to be a
Hellenized Jew (i.e. a Jew strongly
influenced by Greek culture and ways of
life). He was not amongst the original
disciples of Jesus. He was originally a
persecutor but then later converted,
claiming to have seen a ‘vision’ of Jesus,
whereas he had never met Jesus a.s.

ABOUT?
 After Paul’s ‘conversion’ to this
religion, he offered interpretations of
what the religion should be, which
included changing the Jewish ways
with that of Greek and Roman ideas
to gain converts amongst the gentiles
(non-Jews).

ABOUT?
The strictly monotheistic faith of the
religion amongst the Bani Israel were
compromised into adapting and
adopting the Trinitarian belief and other
practices of the pagan Mediterranean
religions of the Greek, Roman, Persian
and Egyptian.

ABOUT?
 Thus we saw a split amongst

those who claimed to be the
followers of Jesus teachings.

ABOUT?
 In 325 CE, the conflict between the

Unitarian versus the *Pauline
Trinitarian was ruthlessly ended by the
decree of Emperor Constantine at the
Council of Nicaea.
* Pauline – from teachings of Paul

ABOUT?
Through subsequent Synods and

Councils organized by the Church, new
creed and beliefs were adopted.
Those who opposed the Church’s

ruling were condemned as heretics and
persecuted. Thus Pauline doctrines
became dominant.

ISLAMIC CALL TO CHRISTIANS
“Say: ‘O People of the Book! Come unto

that tenet which we and you hold in
common: that we shall worship none
but Allah (the One and only God), and
that we shall not ascribe divinity to any
besides Him, and that we shall not take
human beings for our lords besides
Allah.”
(Qur’an: Surah aa-li ‘Imraan: 3: 64)

Uncaused Cause of All
Being, He begets not, The Holy Spirit is fully God.
neither is He begotten: and They are not three gods but One.
there is nothing that could (extracted from Apostolic creed)
be compared with Him.”
(Qur’an: Surah al-Ikhlas: 112) Note: The Christians emphasized
the above that “they (i.e. the
“... O Jesus, son of Mary! Father, the Son and the Holy
Did you say unto mankind: Spirit) are distinct but not
Take me and my mother as separate”.... whatever that
gods besides Allah? {Jesus} means !?! (note how confused

Allah, my Lord and your
Lord...”

CONCEPT OF GOD
CHRISTIANITY REFUTATIONS FROM THEIR BIBLE
The Father is fully God. Distinct but not separate?

The Son is fully God. then what about :
The Holy Spirit is fully God.
They are not three gods but One. “.... And Jesus was baptized,
he went up immediately from

heavens were opened, and

The Holy Spirit is fully God. These doctrines (Apostolic creed) are not
They are not three gods but One. what Jesus teach but innovations and
(extracted from Apostolic creed) conjectures of the Church. If we refer
to their Bible, there is no explicit (clear
i.e. without need for interpretations)
Note: The Christians emphasized the sayings of Jesus concerning Trinity or
above that “they (i.e. the Father, the about himself claiming to be God.
Son and the Holy Spirit) are distinct Whereas Jesus explicitly teaches
but not separate”.... whatever that Tauhiid, e.g. :

all?’ Jesus answered ‘Hear O
Israel! The Lord our God, the
Lord is One!”

CONCEPT OF GOD
CHRISTIANITY REBUTTALS
Simple explanation in
.... teaching Trinity ? Matthew 28: 19:

These words does not mean that
Jesus teaches Trinity, rather the
use of the phrase “..in the name
“...Jesus said to them, of ” signify authoritative basis for

ambassador acting on behalf of

baptize them in the sign “in the name of the head of

his own name.” The teaching of
of the Son and of the the religion is with the authority

ALLAH’S WARNING FOR
MUSLIM REGARDING JEWS
AND CHRISTIANS
“For, never will the Jews be pleased with
thee, nor yet the Christians, unless thou
follow their own creeds. Say ‘Behold, Allah’s
guidance is the only true guidance’.
And, indeed, if thou should follow their errant
views after all the knowledge that has come
unto thee, thou would have none to protect
thee from Allah, and none to bring thee
succour.”
(Qur’an: al-Baqarah: 2: 120)

ISLAMIC CALL TO CHRISTIANS
“And they claim, “None shall ever

enter paradise unless he be ‘a
Jew’ or ‘a Christian’. Such are
their wishful beliefs! Say: Produce
an evidence for what you are
claiming, if what you say is true!”
(Qur’an Surah al-Baqarah: 2 :111)

They the Christians will offer the Bible
as their evidence
W hat i s th e
Bib le ?

The Bible ...… s ome f act s.
 The name “Bible” is not found in the
Bible.
 This term “Bible” comes from the
Greek work “Biblion” which means
“collection of writings or book”.
 The total number of books that make
up the Bible differ between the
Catholic’s (they have 73 books) and
Protestant Christian’s (only accept 66
books).

 It can be divided into 2 parts:
Old testament – Jewish writings
written originally in Hebrew, compiled
over a period of 2,000 years; many of
its authors are unknown.
New Testament – the oldest
manuscripts written in Koine Greek
(not Aramaic which was the language
that Jesus spoke), comprise of the 4
Gospels and letters written by Paul and
others.
 The most popular Bible e.g. the King

James (the Authorized version) and the
Latin Vulgate in used was based on an
ancient text. Since then, they have
discovered more ancient texts, and
Christian biblical scholars have to
revise their Bible to ensure accuracy.
And they admit that there has been
interpolations done to the Bible.
 Their admission:
“Yet the King James version has serious

defects. ….. And discovery of many
biblical manuscripts more ancient than
those on which the King James version
was based made it apparent that these
defects were so many as to call for a
revision.”
(Forward in the New Revised Standard version of the Bible)

What Allah have said is true..!
“And behold, there are indeed some among

them who distort the Book (of revelation) with
their tongues, so as to make you think that
[what they say] is from the Book (revelation),
the while it is not from the Book (revelation);
and who say, “This is from God,” the while it
is not from God: and thus do they tell a lie
about God, being well-aware (that it is a lie).”
(Qur’an: Surah aa-li ‘Imraan: 3: 78)

What Allah have said is true..!
“Woe, then, unto those who write

down, with their own hands,
[something which they claim to
be] divine revelation, and then say
‘This is from God’……..”
(Qur’an: Surah al-Baqarah: 2: 79)

Summary : what is the Bible?
 It is a collection of writings.
 Generally it contains recordings
of the history of the Jewish
people. Written and re-written by
scribes (especially when the Jews
lost these during their
enslavement by Persians and
Romans or because the
recordings tended to fade).
 It may contain words of prophets; some
eye-witness or even hearsay accounts
of what had happened; it may contain
quotations of perhaps revelations from
God; it may contain interpretations and
interpolations of people regarding the
religion; etc.
 Biblical scholars admit that many were
written by anonymous (unknown)
person or persons; sometimes
conveniently attributed to certain
prophets.
 The Gospels (according to Mark,
Mathew, Luke and John) are not the
same as what we Muslims refer to as
the “Injeel” of Prophet Jesus a.s.
 The Pentateuch (first 5 Books said to
be the book of Moses : the Torah) is
not the same as what we Muslims refer
to as the “Taurat” of Prophet Moses
a.s.

 The Psalm (of David) is not the same as
what we Muslims refer to as the
“Zabur” of Prophet David a.s.
 As the collections called the Bible
have been tampered with and
interpolations made by people, we
cannot be certain of its total reliability
and authenticity.
 For Muslims, the Qur’an is the
“Furqaan” (Criterion to determine what
for us, is the Truth and what is not).
 Revisions have been made to the
Bible when a much older
manuscripts were found. Still
these manuscripts are not those
dated to the time of Jesus a.s.
(because these were written in
Greek, whereas Jesus a.s. never
spoke Greek but Aramaic).

So when we Muslims say we
Believe in the Taurat, Zabur
and Injeel, we do not mean
we believe in the Bible!
Only the Qur’an has remained the

only authentic Book of revelations
from Allah, still preserved exactly
as it was “recited”, in the original
language as when it was revealed.
SIMPLE MESSAGE
FOR CHRISTIANS TO
CONSIDER
 “Are you actually following the
religion of Jesus?”
 “What was the religion that Jesus
preached?”
 “And if he were to come back
today, who will he recognize as
people belonging to his flock?” –
“Christians or Muslims?”

SIMPLE MESSAGE
FOR CHRISTIANS TO
CONSIDER
 Jesus a.s. followed the law. Even in
dietary rules for example he abstained
from eating and touching of the flesh
of swine.
“These are the living things which you shall not eat ….
And the swine … of their flesh you shall not eat, and
their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean
to you.” (Leviticus:11:8)

There is no such thing
as the Original Sin…
Because God
is Most Just
and Merciful
Is original sin compatible with standard of
God’s justice mentioned in their own book?
 “The soul that sins shall die. The son shall not
suffer for the iniquity (sins) of the father, nor
the father suffer for the iniquity (sins) of the
son, the righteousness of the righteous shall
be upon himself, and the wickedness of the
wicked shall be upon himself.”
(Ezekiel 18: 20)

How can man be assured of eternal life ?
according to their book :
 “But if a wicked man turns away from all his

sins which he has committed and keeps all
my statutes and does what is lawful and
right, he shall surely live, he shall not die...”
( Ezeki el 18 : 21 )
(Note the concept of ‘taubah’ here : consistent with

Islam. Unfortunately Pauline Christians have replaced
this with ‘blood redemption’ – vicarious atonement)
How can man be assured of eternal life ?
according to their book :
 ““Jesus says : ‘Not everyone who says to

me ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter the kingdom of
heaven, but he who does the will of my
Father who is in heaven” *
(Matthew 7 : 21 )
( * Islam : means submission to God’s will )

CONCLUSION
“Behold this is indeed the truth of the
matter, and there is no deity whatever
save God (Allah); and verily God (Allah) –
He alone is almighty, truly wise. And if
they turn away [from this truth] –
behold, God (Allah) has full knowledge
of the spreaders of corruption.”
(Qur’an: aali –’Imraan: 3 62)

CONCLUSION
“Behold, the only [true] religion
(Deen) in the sight of God
(Allah) is ‘Al-Islam’ (religion of
self-surrender unto His Will).
(Qur’an: aali –’Imraan: 3 62)
