37.101:
C4096. This was
in the fertile land of Syria and Palestine. The boy thus born was,
according to Muslim tradition, the
first-bom son of Abraham, viz., Ismail. The name itself is from the root Samia, to hear,
because Allah had heard Abraham's prayer (verse 100). Abraham's age
when Ismail was born was 86 (Gen xvi. 16).
C4097. The boy's
character was to be Halim,
"forbearing". This title is also applied to Abraham (in ix. 114 and
xi. 75). It refers to the
patient way in which both father and son cheerfully offered to suffer
any self-sacrifice in order to obey the Command of Allah. See next
verse.

(Genesis 12:2 KJV) And I will make of thee
[abram] a great nation[1], and
I will bless thee[1], and make thy name
great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
(Genesis 17:6
KJV) And I will make thee exceeding
fruitful[1], and I will make nations of thee, and
kings shall come out of thee.
(Genesis 17:7
KJV) And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and
thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant,
to be a God unto
thee, and to thy seed
after thee.
compare
(Genesis 17:20 KJV)
-
And as for ISHAMEL,
-
I have heard thee:
-
Behold, I have blessed him[2],
-
and will make him fruitful[2],
-
and will multiply him
exceedingly;
-
twelve princes shall he
beget,
-
and I will make him a
great nation[2].
according to the old
testament, all those PROMISES and BLESSINGS were conferred upon ISHAMEL long before the physical birth of
isaac.
-
however later moses, joshua,
isaiah, david and jesus, etc., made mention of the same ;
-
each, in his own
respective and distinctive way;
-
and also, laid firm and
solid foundations thereof;
leading directly to the
last and final dispensation of islam, as we have it.

only
'TAKE
NOW'
the command
was: 'TAKE
NOW thy son, thine only son Isaac';
(Genesis 22:1
KJV) And it came to pass after these things,
that God
did tempt
Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he
said, Behold, here I
am.
'TAKE NOW'
(Genesis
22:2 KJV) And he said, 'TAKE NOW
thy
son, thine only son Isaac, whom
thou lovest, and get thee into The land of
Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon
one of
the mountains which I will tell thee
of.
(Genesis 22:4 KJV)
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up
his eyes, and
saw the place afar
off.
question
1.
WHERE WERE
BOTH ABRAHAM AND HIS ONLY SON ISAAC, AT THIS SPECIFIC POINT IN TIME
AND PLACE - 'TAKE NOW?
2.
WERE THEY
EVEN TOGETHER, as we have been lead to believe?
3.
HOW DO WE
KNOW THAT?
4.
the book of
genesis is totally and absolutely silent on this issue.
5.
therefore,
where did abraham and his only son Isaac start out originally;
6.
for their
long journey ['TAKE
NOW];
7.
in order to
proceed to ONE OF the mounts in the land of moriah?
8.
that said,
both abraham & isaac journeyed for more than 3 days from
someplace
['TAKE
NOW] ;
9.
to get
there in order to fulfill the lord god's command.
no matter how you look at
it in the old testament only, this matter remains totally UNRESOLVED
up to this point in time.
so, abraham could not have
been commanded to sacrifice his only son, isaac unto the lord
god.
on the contrary, the scales
tilt in the other direction altogether.

sight because of THE
LAD,
and because of thy bondwoman;

KJV) Arise, lift up THE
LAD, and hold him in thine
hand; for I will make him a great
nation.

well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and
gave THE
LAD drink. [7

question
where was ishmael AFTER
THIS TIME?

ass,

and took two of his
young men with him,

up,

which God had told him.

thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy
seed as the stars of the heaven, and as

earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my
voice.

where was isaac AFTER THIS
TIME?

WHERE WAS
ISAAC?

ISAAC AFTER THE SAID
SACRIFICE.
breaking the silent MYSTIC code
(Genesis
21:33
KJV) 
And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there
on the name of
the
The area of
Beersheba is first
mentioned in The
Bible as the place where Hagar went after she was
sent away from Abraham because
of family conflicts with Abraham's wife Sarah. Hagar was
Abraham's Egyptian-born concubine who had a son (see Ishmael) by
Abraham when Sarah thought that she herself was unable to have
children - a commonly accepted practice of the time. Then, when
Sarah did have a son herself (see Isaac), she could
no longer tolerate Hagar's presence, so she forced Hagar to leave.
Abraham reluctantly agreed to Sarah's demand.
Hagar was not abandoned by God
however. He spoke to her directly and helped her. Ishmael went on to
become very successful, becoming a great nation from his descendants -
the Arab peoples of today. He returned for his father Abraham's
funeral at Hebron where
he and Isaac placed his body in what has become known today as the
"Tomb of The Patriarchs."
MOST IMPORTANT
&
intriguing question
an unexplained gap of
37 - 40 years
& SOME
irreconcilable
facts
-
where did abraham
reside when, he was called upon to sacrifice his one and only son,
isaac to the lord
god?
-
abraham himself did
not reside at and/or near jerusalem
at
the time.
-
on the contrary, abraham
journeyed for more than 3 days to get at Jerusalem
in
mount
Moriah.

(Genesis 22:1 KJV) And it
came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and
said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I

God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar

him on the altar upon the wood.
distance from Beersheba
to
Jerusalem
Abraham
started early in the morning (Gen_22:3, Gen_22:4),
with his son Isaac and two servants, to obey the divine command;
and
on the third day (for the distance from Beersheba
to
Jerusalem
is
about 20 1/2 hours;
Rob. Pal. iii. App. 66, 67) he saw in the distance the place
mentioned by God, the
land
of
Moriah
,
i.e., the mountainous country round about
Jerusalem
.
From
Beer-sheba to the Shalem of Melkizedec
Gen_22:4-10
The
story is now told with exquisite simplicity. “On the third
day.” From Beer-sheba to the Shalem of
Melkizedec, near which this
hill is supposed to have been, is about forty-five miles.
If they
proceeded fifteen miles on the first broken day, twenty on the
second, and ten on the third, they would come within sight of the
place early on the third day.
from the
above details, it looks as though both the father and his only son,
isaac had started out from beersheba and proceeded to the land of
moriah.
however,
this is NOT what the book of genesis says, after all is said and
done.

Abraham returned
to
Beersheba
(Genesis
22:19
KJV) So Abraham returned unto his
young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba;
and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
abraham dwelt at BEERSHEBA
please note
that before abraham received the divine command (Genesis
22:1 KJV)
to sacrifice his one and only son,
isaac;
• abraham himself dwelt at BEERSHEBA (Genesis 21:33
KJV);
• (Genesis 21:34
KJV)
• And Abraham
sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
• however, both
sarah and isaac did not dwell WITH HIM at any of those places at the
time;
•
that said, there is absolutely no scriptural evidence to show
that ABRAHAM EVER JOURNEYED BACK to where
sarah (Genesis 23:2 KJV);
• and isaac resided
(Genesis 24:62 KJV);
• to bring isaac
with him from his maternal home;
• in order to
sacrifice his one and only son, as divinely commanded
;
•
and still, abraham returned to
BEERSHEBA INSTEAD;
• after depiction of
complete obedience and willingness to sacrifice his one and only
son.
for the record, even jesus of the later christian
era DID NOT display that kind of fortitude, resolve, willingness,
obedience or heroism before his so-called
cruci_FICTion.
(Genesis 21:17
KJV)
And God heard THE VOICE OF THE LAD;
and
the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her,
What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath
heard THE VOICE OF THE
LAD where he
is.
(Genesis
21:20 KJV) And God was
with THE LAD; and he grew, and dwelt in the
wilderness, and became an archer. [7 x 3 & 5
x 4]
compare
the lad5288 isaac
(Genesis
22:5 KJV) And
Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I
and the lad5288
will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
(Genesis 22:12
KJV) And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad5288,
neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest
God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only
son from me.
however, please note also that on his way back,
ISAAC, the lad5288 WAS LEFT BEHIND by
abraham on one of the mounts in the
land of moriah.

moreover, abraham did not even
return to sarah, until AFTER her death.
an unexplained
gap of
37 - 40
years
on
the other hand, sarah, who had earlier
forced hagar and her son ishmael into exile for personal gain and
selfish motives god forbid, WAS HERSELF DESERTED BY ABRAHAM,
as was her/HIS 'promised son', isaac.
|
(Genesis 21:11 KJV) And the thing
was
very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his
son.
(Genesis 21:12 KJV) And God said
unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of
the lad, and because of thy
bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee,
hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be
called.
(Genesis 21:13 KJV) And also of
the son of the bondwoman will I make
a
nation, because he is thy
seed. |
whereas,
sarah may have died in total isolation and despair
thereafter.
isaac
may have left his mother's house as well.
so, there were absolutely no winners
here despite all the divine promises and sarah's
intrigues.

Mamre in this very chapter Gen_23:17, Gen_23:19, not far from 40 - forty
years, though he
appears to have still kept up a connection with it, and had at present
a residence in it. During this interval the

of the promised seed she became the mother of all believers (1Pe_3:6).

abraham was not commanded by god to sacrifice his one and only
3-year old son, isaac.
-
apparently, the all
important command came to abraham ONLY AFTER ABRAHAM moved to BEERSHEBA/
Philistines' land and not before. (Genesis 21:33 KJV)
& (Genesis 21:34 KJV).
-
right there, we have an
inexplicable gap of 37 - 40 years, no matter what;
-
but then, there is no
record of abraham ever having returned to hebron;
-
to bring along his son
with him;
-
in order to fulfill the
lord god's divine command.
so, where was the missing isaac?
Muhammad
gets the Bible all wrong.
In 1977 two other scholars from the School for Oriental and
African Studies at London University - Patricia Crone (a
professor of history at the Institute for Advanced Study in
Princeton) and Michael Cook (a professor of Near Eastern
history at Princeton University) - suggested a radically
new approach in their book "Hagarism: The Making of the
Islamic World."
Mistakes in the
Quran.
[it should be noted that many of the stories
in the Quran come from
the Jewish Talmud, the Midrash, and
many apocryphal works--for
instance Nimrod threw Abraham in the fire. You'll
see this in Jewish extrabiblical literature.]
- Abraham
went to sacrifice Ishmael (Sura 37:100-112).

Ignorance,
arrogance,
insensitivity—these
attitudes rank high among the great public enemies of our time.
And the educational enterprise, at its best, can be an
effective antidote to all of them.
To speak of end
purposes, in turn, is to enter the realm of ethics.
What are our ultimate goals? Whose
interests do we seek to serve? How, in an increasingly
cynical time, can we inspire people to
a new set of aspirations—reaching beyond
rampant materialism, the new relativism, self-serving
individualism, and resurgent tribalism.
In the ethical realm—as in the educational realm—one
of the great stumbling blocks is arrogance. Even the
resurgence of religious feeling—which should be such a
positive force--can
become a negative influence when it turns into
self-righteousness.
All
of the world’s great religions warn against this
excess—yet in the name of those same religions too many
are tempted to play God themselves—
rather
than recognising their
humility before the Divine.
In that
recognition, it seems to me, lies
our best
protection against false
prophecies and divisive dogmatism.

THINGS:
KENYA

-
DURING

TWO
OBJECTIVES

THE

TO PUT INTO HISTORICAL

SOME
OF MY EXPERIENCES OVER THIS HALF

-
THE
DESIRE FOR UNITY

question
-
what did the above
DISJOINTED 3-part statement and/or 3-three statements IN ONE
viz., john 1:1 depict?
-
was it depiction of
the strict monotheism, as commanded by god and taught and
practiced by both moses and jesus,
respectively?
-
and/or, was it
flagrant violation of MONOTHEISM in every sense of the
term?
(John 4:23 MKJV) But the hour
is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and
truth, for the Father seeks such to worship
Him.
(John 4:24 MKJV) God is a spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in
spirit and in
truth.
OUR
GOD
(Deuteronomy 6:4 KJV)
Hear, O Israel: The LORD OUR
GOD is one LORD:
Deu 6:4 -
These
words form the beginning of what is termed the “Shema” (“Hear”) in the Jewish Services, and belong to
the daily morning and evening office. They may be called
“the creed of the
Jews.”
This
weighty text contains far more than a mere declaration of
the unity of God as against polytheism; or of the sole
authority of the revelation that He had made to Israel
as against other pretended
manifestations of His will and
attributes. It
asserts that the Lord God of Israel is absolutely God,
and none other. He, and He
alone, is Jehovah
(Yahweh) the absolute, uncaused God; the One who had, by His election of
them, made Himself known to
Israel.
(Mark 12:29 KJV) And
Jesus answered him, The first of all
the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord OUR
GOD is
one Lord:
(1 Timothy 2:5 KJV) For
there is ONE
GOD, and one mediator between God and men, THE MAN
Christ Jesus;
<partial evidence

question
WHY was there that profound and stupendous USE of the
phrase ===> 'OUR GOD' in the
“Shema” (“Hear”),
instead of the following?
please note the immediate
change.
(Deuteronomy 6:5 KJV) And thou shalt love the
Lord THY
God with all thine heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy
might.
(Deuteronomy 11:1 KJV)
(Matthew 22:37 KJV)
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord THY God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
(Mark 12:30 KJV) And
thou shalt love the Lord THY God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy
strength: this is the first
commandment.
(Luke 10:27 KJV) And
he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord THY God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy
mind; and thy neighbour as
thyself.
again: WHY was
there that profound and stupendous USE of the phrase
===> 'OUR GOD' in the “Shema” (“Hear”),
instead?
what
was the main object and significance behind ITS USE IN
(Deuteronomy 6:4 KJV) & (Mark 12:29 KJV), etc., cited
above?

And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the
truth:
- for
there is ONE
GOD;
- and
there is NONE
OTHER ;
- BUT
HE:
(Mark 12:33 KJV)
And to love him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the
strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, IS MORE THAN ALL
whole burnt offerings AND
SACRIFICES.
would the above
verse, (Mark 12:33 KJV) also include jesus christ's blood
SACRIFICE?
well, jesus christ
seemed to concur ONCE AND FOR ALL.
conclusion of the ABOVE
stipulation by jesus christ
please note that A
STUPENDOUS REWARD will be granted to the believer and
practitioner of the strict monotheism
ONLY.
(Mark 12:34
KJV) And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly/INTELLIGENTLY, he said
unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of
God. And no man after that durst ask him any
question.
(MKJV)
And seeing that he had answered INTELLIGENTLY,
Jesus said to him, You
are not far from the kingdom of God. And no
one dared to question Him any more.
===> note again: Thou art not far
from the kingdom of
God.
'And no man
after that durst ask him any question'
'And no one dared to
question Him any more.'
if so, WHY
should anyone else ask jesus christ that question today and/or
even, question his monotheistic
teachings?
SACRIFICES
This entirely agrees with the sense of the
passage in Hos_6:6. "For I
desired mercy and, NOT
SACRIFICE";
is more than all whole
burnt offerings AND
SACRIFICES;
that is, more excellent in their nature, more acceptable to
God, and more useful among men, than all the rituals of the
ceremonial law, than any SACRIFICE
whatever: for the two words here used, "burnt
offerings AND
SACRIFICES.",
would
it also include jesus christ's blood SACRIFICE?
(Psalms 40:6
KJV)
- and offering thou didst NOT desire;
- mine ears hast thou
opened:
- burnt offering
- and sin offering
- hast thou NOT required.
(Hosea 6:6 KJV) For I desired
mercy, and
NOT SACRIFICE; AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF
GOD more than burnt offerings.
- offer the SACRIFICE of praise to
God
- for with such SACRIFICEs God is well
pleased
- Obey them that have the
rule over you
(Hebrews 13:15 KJV) By him therefore let
us offer the SACRIFICE of praise to
God continually, that is, the fruit
of our lips giving thanks to his
name. [[
7 x 4]
(Hebrews 13:16 KJV) But to
do good and to communicate forget not: for
with such SACRIFICEs God
is well pleased.
(Hebrews 13:17 KJV) Obey
them that have the rule over you, and submit
yourselves: for they
watch for your souls, as they that must give
account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief:
for that is unprofitable for
you.
IF it did not, then explain jesus' own affirmation of the
above.
(Matthew 9:13 KJV) But go ye and learn what that
meaneth, I will have mercy, and
NOT SACRIFICE: for I am not come
to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance.
(Matthew 12:7 KJV) But if ye had known what this
meaneth, I will have mercy, and
NOT SACRIFICE, ye would not have
condemned the guiltless.
[call]
'but sinners to repentance,' WAS NOT the same as calling those
very sinners and others to his blood
sacrifice.
(Acts 5:31 KJV) Him hath God
exalted with his right hand to be
a Prince and a Saviour ,
for
to give repentance
TO
ISRAEL,
AND
forgiveness of
sins.

The Crux at Hebrews
5,7-8
But
this seems to contradict the obvious fact that Jesus
died
One of the classic cruces in the Epistle to the
Hebrews is the passage at Heb 5,7-8 which speaks of the petitions made by
Christ.
The Greek text of these verses, , is as follows:
.......1.
A translation would
read as follows:
7 who in the days of his flesh,
offered with a loud cry and tears prayers and
petitions
- to the one able to save
him from death,
-
- AND HAVING BEEN
HEARD
-
- because of His
reverence,
- 8 even though
Son,
-
- LEARNED
-
- from the things
He
-
- SUFFERED
-
- OBEDIENCE,
There are
a number of
problems
associated with these verses, but one problem is
crucial:
- Jesus seems to be
pictured as begging;
- TO BE SAVED FROM
DEATH;
- and as having been heard.
- But this seems to contradict
- the obvious fact that Jesus died
- The problem
centers on the words kai_ ei)sakousqei_j a)po_ th=j
eu)labei/aj, kai/per w@n ui(o/j (‘and having been
heard
because of His reverence even though Son’)2.

The Gnostic Gospels, by
Elaine Pagels
[under,
'The Passion of Christ,' pp. 72,73] 
One gnostic text from
Nag Hammadi, the Apocalypse of
Peter, relates a radically different version of the
crucifixion :
..... I saw him apparently being seized by
them.
The Saviour said to me,
"He whom you saw being glad and laughing is the Living
Jesus.
But he
into whose hands and feet they are driving the nails is his
fleshy part, which is the
substitute.
They
put to shame that which remained in his likeness. And look at
him,
and [look at ]
me"
The Gospel
According to Peter
[19] And one
of them said, Give him to drink gall with vinegar. And they
mixed and gave him to drink, and fulfilled all things, and
accomplished their sins against their own head. And many
went about with lamps, supposing that it was night, and fell
down. And the Lord
cried out, saying, My power, my power, you have forsaken me.
And when he had said it he was taken up. And in that
hour the veil of the temple of Jerusalem was rent in
twain.

(from Greek dokein, “to seem”), Christian heresy
and one of the earliest
Christian sectarian doctrines, affirming that Christ did not have a real or natural
body
during his life on earth but only an apparent or phantom one.
Though its incipient forms are alluded to in the New
Testament, such as in the Letters of John (e.g.,
1 John 4:1–3; 2
John 7),
(1 John 4:1 KJV) Beloved,
believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they
are of God: because many
false prophets are gone out into
the world.
(1 John 4:3 KJV) And
every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come
in the flesh is not of God: and this is that
spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should
come; and even now already is it in the world.
(2 John 1:7 KJV)
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who
confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's

appeared so unto them; and lo! those who
disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no

Let me begin
by thanking Mrs. Fornari, Mayor Ubaldi and Senator Lunardi
for their kind words of welcome to representatives of the
Aga Khan Trust for Culture, our guests and me here at
Parma.
As Presidente
Onarario Fondazione Parma Capitale della Musica, and
Chairman of the Board of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture it
is an honour for me to be here tonight at this, the first
preview of masterpieces of Islamic Art in the Collections
of the Aga Khan Museum entitled Splendori a
Corte and the performance of Sacred and Festive Music
Traditions from Central Asia.
The past has
privileged me with the friendship of Senator Lunardi and
Ing. Baiocchi, as well as the happy
occasion to have visited Parma in a private capacity and
to have been welcomed by Mayor Ubaldi.
History and Culture were
common areas of engagement, and it was a particularly
exciting moment for me, when I realised we could bring
them together in a shared platform of activities. That
would, of course, not have been possible, unless those
responsible for sustaining and enhancing the cultural
life of this city had been willing to look outside the
limits of the city, outside the frontiers
of Italy and Europe, and
espouse the concept that culture from
whatever part of the world and from whatever background,
should be part of the new region of Parma as the
Capitale della Musica.
In our world, where
major cultures and faiths are ignorant of each other, new
dialogues are critical. And
Parma has opened
the door to this important and challenging prospect. The
Aga Khan Trust for Culture and I are honoured that the
first initiative of the young Foundation Parma Capitale
della Musica to embrace the global world around us, has
been to welcome the cultural representations of various
parts of the Muslim world.
The developing
political crises of the last few years, and the large
numbers of Muslims emigrating to the West, have revealed –
often dramatically – the
considerable lack of knowledge of the Muslim
world in many Western societies. This ignorance spans all aspects of
the peoples of Islam: their
pluralism, the diversity
of their interpretations of the Qur’anic
faith, the chronological and geographical
extent of their history and culture, as well as their
ethnic, linguistic and social diversity.
The Aga Khan
Trust for Culture, the cultural agency of the Aga Khan
Development Network, works to expand this
knowledge.
In Muslim societies culture matters a
great deal, for it is
intimately intertwined with matters of faith.
Authentic symbols of pride and
identity seem to be disappearing leading
to a sense of exclusion, alienation or even challenge to
inherited identity.
The need for better understanding
across cultures has never been greater - nor more
pressing. We must do our utmost to value and protect
what is greatest in our common heritage. It
is important that the diversity of cultures, the pluralism
that characterises many societies today, is recognised as
a vital asset and prerequisite for progress and
development.
I
warmly thank the Foundation Parma Capitale della
Musica for giving the
Aga Khan Trust for Culture the
opportunity
to share with you, in this great city and this great
country of unique cultural wealth,

to the Tutzing Evangelical Academy Upon
Receiving the
"Tolerance" Award, 20 May
2006
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim
Our spiritual
understandings, like those of your Academy, are rooted, of
course, in
ancient teachings.
In the case
of Islam, there are two touchstones
which I have long treasured and sought to
apply.
These Islamic ideals,
of course, have also been emphasized by
other great religions. Despite the long history of religious
conflict, there is a long counter-history of religious focus on
tolerance as a central virtue -- on welcoming the stranger and
loving one's neighbour.
“Who is my
Neighbor?” - one of the central Christian narratives
asks. Jesus responds by
telling the story of the Good
Samaritan -- a foreigner,
,
who reaches out sympathetically, across ethnic and cultural
divides, to show mercy to
the fallen
stranger at the side of the
road.
