Who are the Lord' People in Bible Versus Quran, [2] – Egypt?
Author: Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil   | Posted: 07-05-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 40 | Rating: (60)  (?) 
Is Egypt the Lord' people in the Bible?
Yes
The Lord says in Isaiah 19:25: "Blessed is Egypt My people".
Being an Egyptian, I feel proud that Egypt is the Lord' people!
But again, this verse encourages racial discrimination; it shows that mankind is unequal, Egypt is the Lord' people while other countries are not!
if this verse holds true then what about the Chinese, the Japanese, the European, the Americans etc.?
Do not all of these nations for examples have the right to be the Lord' people if they are righteous?
Also, what makes Egypt the Lord' people? Do not you remember what the Pharaoh of Egypt had done with Moses and the Israelites?
Isaiah 19:25 in different versions of the Bible:
New International Version (NIV)
The LORD Almighty will bless them, saying, "Blessed be Egypt my people,
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, "Blessed is Egypt My people,
The Message (MSG)
Blessed be Egypt, my people...
King James Version (KJV)
Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people,
English Standard Version (ESV)
Whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, "Blessed be Egypt my people,
=========
Is Egypt the Lord' people in the Quran?
No, they are not.
The Quran declares clearly that there is no a specific nation(s) which is the Lord' people. Also, the Prophet Muhammad said that there no privileges for the Arabic over the non-Arabic and also there no privileges for the white over the black except in respect to the Lord fearing. The more you fear your Lord, the more you are close to Him.
Again, in order to confuse, the Quran says in two verses [2:47 and 2:122] that Allah favored the children of Israel. This happened at the time of Pharaoh and Moses when the children of Israel were believers and fear of their Lord.
Verse 49:13 of the Noble Quran announces that:
O mankind! Allah has indeed created you male and female from Adam and Eve, and has made you nations and tribes that you may come to know one another. This means that you may acquire knowledge of the customs of one another and not to boast to one another.
Truly the noblest of you in the sight of God is the most God-fearing among you.
Lo! The noblest of you in the Hereafter, (in the sight of Allah) on the Day of Judgment, (is the best in conduct) in the life of the world;
Truly God is Knower, of you, Aware, of your inner thoughts.
Lo! Allah is Knower of your status and lineage; Allah is Aware of your works and standing in His sight.
---------------
Verse 49:13 of the Noble Quran in different translations:
QARIB: people, we have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes that you might know one another. The noblest of you before Allah is the most righteous of you. Allah is the knower, the aware.
SHAKIR: O you men! surely we have created you of a male and a female, and made you tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty); surely Allah is knowing, aware
PICKTHAL: O mankind! lo! we have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. lo! The noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is knower, aware.
YUSUFALI: O mankind! we created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. and Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

Questions about life and the universe
By: Jesusfreak | 20-08-2008
Has the universe always existed or did it have a beginning like everything that we know about does?
If it does have a beginning, was it by accident?
Was all the matter in the universe always here or was it created?
If all matter in the universe was created, what created it?
If the matter in the universe was created by a being of immense intelligence and power that can also work outside the framework of the universe and time, what are we supposed to call this being?
Is this being by diffinition...God?
