By: Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil | 17/05/2007 | Religion
According to the Bible you have to know 27 items.
According to the Quran you have to know 17 items.
The Bible says that "know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." Also, the Bible says: Know ye 1) Laban,2) this day,3) what I have done to you?,4) the Spirit of God; And Know ye that,5) Ramoth in Gilead is ours, 6) the Lord he is God,7) if ye put me to death,8) ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, 9) the kingdom of God is nigh at hand,10) they which are of faith are the children of Abraham and11) Timothy is set at liberty.

On the other hand, the Quran declares that the most important is to know that there is no god but Allah, therefore, ask Him "only" for forgiveness of your sin(s).
Also the Quran says: know that Allah is 1) with those who restrain themselves, 2) strict in punishment, 3) Exalted in Power, Wise, 4) Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing, Most Merciful, 5) your guardian (protector); and most excellent the helper, 6) with those who fear Him, 7) well-acquainted with all things, and 8) free of all wants, and worthy of all praise.

Furthermore, the Quran says: know that:1) among you is Allah's Messenger and it is Our Messenger's duty to proclaim (the Message) in the clearest manner, 2) your children and your wealth are but a temptation, and that the reward with Allah is great (immense reward), 3) whatever thing you gain, a fifth of it is for…, 4) the life of this world is nothing in comparison to the Eternal Afterlife, 5) they only follow their own lusts, 6) you are to meet Allah (in the Hereafter) and you cannot frustrate Allah.

The Heap and the Terrorism in the Sacred Books
By: Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil | 02/06/2007 | Politics
According to the Bible, the Lord thy God says: burn with fire the city, it shall be a Heap for ever and shall not be built again; I will Heap mischiefs and spend mine arrows upon them. Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an Heap for ever and a great Heap of stones is made upon the carcase of the king of Ai. With the jawbone of an ass, Heaps upon Heaps, Samson had slain a thousand men. I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous Heaps. For thou hast made of a city an Heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous Heap.
Although the Heap is mentioned three times in the Quran, however, the meanings of the three verses of the Heap are not found in the Bible. The Quran talks about the Human nature and behavior, The Last day in this life and the Heap in the Everlasting Life.
Who are the Sons of God in Bible Versus Quran?
By: Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil | 23/08/2007 | Religion
The Bible says that the sons of God married the daughters of men giving rise to mighty men of renown. The sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. All the sons of God shouted for joy when the morning stars sang together. We, the sons of God shall be like him. The sons of God do not die, they are like Angels. He will gather together in one the children of God. The peacemakers are the sons of God. Then the Bible asks: "Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?" In addition, the Bible cites that the Israelites are the sons of God. However, Moses who was the great among the Israelites was not more than a servant (slave) of the Lord. Also, the Bible says that there are morning stars and they sing. Scientists never say that.
On the other hand, the Quran denies and condemns that the Almighty Lord has son or sons. All Muslims are like the great Israelite prophet Moses, no more than slaves of the Almighty Lord. The Quran considers saying that the Almighty Lord has Son or sons is great sin that Allah will not forgive it and it ultimately leads to an eternal punishment in the hell.
What the Lord Said to Satan? in Bible Versus Quran
By: Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil | 30/08/2007 | Religion
The Bible says: 1)" For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters wicked things". 2) Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. 3) Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue, 4) a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, 5) 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist., 6) Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart and do not spend your strength on women. Blood and alter are mentioned in the Bible in seven verses; in them blood is mentioned 12 times and alter is mentioned 15 times. In addition, the finger of God is found in five verses: Dip the finger is found in five verses:
On the other hand, the Quran talks about Noah's debates with the unbelievers. This issue of Noah debates with them is not mentioned in the Bible. In addition, the Quran confers the first battle between Muslims and them. In that Battle, the very few Muslims had beaten the many unbelievers. Moreover, the Quran presents the Hypocrites, 1) their parable and 2) their faith, fingertips and rage! Finally, the Quran grants the fingertips (Fingerprint) in the Afterlife! as it says that Allah will restore the fingertips (the fingertips) of the dead. Each one of us has its own fingerprint!
