The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran (7)

This is the seventh article of the series:" The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran".

The Bible says that blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the Sons of God. The Quran says that Allah has no sons; He is Independent, without need of anyone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sons of the Lord God in the Bible (6)

In Matthew 5:9, the Lord Jesus says:

"Blessed are the peacemakers, because they shall be called Sons of God."

But what if the peacemakers do not believe in God? Would they be called Sons of God? What if the peacemakers deny God?

Compare this saying of the Lord Jesus about the peacemakers with the saying of the Prophet Muhammad about those who make and spread peace.

Herein we have two peacemakers, the first are those who make peace and the second are those who make and spread peace.

What the Prophet Muhammad said about the peacemakers?

Here, is one of the Prophet Muhammad saying (Hadith) about the peacemakers; He said:

"O people: we all are Allah servants, make and spread peace, give food to the needy, pray better when the people are sleeping then you will be the inhabitant of your Lord's Paradise."

In this Hadith, Muslims are commanded both to make and to spread peace. However, they are still Allah' servant and not by any means Allah' sons!

In addition, the Hadith commands Muslims to give food to the needy and to pray, better, when the people are sleeping (in order to keep away of hypocrisy.

--------------------------------------------

Matthew 5:9 in five different versions of the Bible:

New International Version

9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

New American Standard Bible

9"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

English Standard Version

9"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

King James Version

9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

9`Happy the peacemakers -- because they shall be called Sons of God.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (7)

On the other hand, the Quran makes it very clear and says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.

The Quran decisively forbids saying that Allah has a son.

It is not befitting for the Majesty of Allah to take to Himself a son.

Allah is exalted, magnified, He is above what they associate with Him of son or partners. Allah is far transcendent above all that they ascribe unto Him!

In Islam, this point is very important faith wise.

Again, it is unforgivable sin to say or to believe that the One Almighty Creator [who is Allah or God or the Lord or Jehovah or whatever name(s) you are giving Him] has a son or Sons.

From the Islamic point of view, the conclusion of this essential topic that may establish or destroy the faith is that:

Any one who believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or Sons; he messes his faith up and is considered as a disbeliever and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the hell.
