God, Bosnia, Bosnian War, Bosnian history, anything to do with Bosnia really. | |
To start off, I must make it clear that I am a proud Bošnjak. I purely love Bosnia, my homeland, the gem of the Balkans. I am a Sunni Muslim adhering to the Hanafi school of thought, and I love discussing topics on religion and doing Dawah in my free time.
Islam is truly the most beautiful religion, which has been revealed to us by our Lord. Allah is the all-knowing, all-forgiving, the most gracious, the most merciful. He pardons our sins and enters us into the paradise to reside there in forever. As we know in Surah Ikhlas:
"Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “He is Allah—One ˹and Indivisible˺;
Allah—the Sustainer ˹needed by all˺.
He has never had offspring, nor was He born.
And there is none comparable to Him.”
Us Muslims differ to Christians in our understanding of God. In Islam, God is one - he does not have any partners or associates. Islam is a purely monotheistic religion, in which we worship Allah alone. On the other hand, Christians worship Jesus, a human being, and direct most of their worship to him. They call upon him, saying "O Lord Jesus" when they are truly misguided. In fact, even in the Bible there is no mention of a Jesus commanding his disciples to worship him, let alone the principle of said "Holy Trinity." Jesus is a human being who was born into this world. Christians make the claim that although he was born into this world, he is still God. Yet the question still remains, how can God limit himself by entering the dunya? (the word dunya refers to the world we live in right now).
Except that this scenario cannot possibly be. This is tantamount to declaring, "A true statement can also be equal to a false statement at the same time." God is unlimited, so how can he limit himself? Although Christians may gloss over these following verses in their Sunday sermons and their Christmas, Easter and Halloween prayers (yes, Halloween is actually a Christian festival). Some of the statements which themselves disprove the divinity of Jesus include:
Mark 13:32
"But about that day or hour no-one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father"
For reference, the meaning of the term "hour" is not used to describe the Day of Judgement, rather it is used to describe Jesus' return, according to the Christian narrative. Jesus here is directly declaring that he is not divine. Had he been divine, he would have knowledge about the Hour. The idea of God not knowing the time of the Hour, yet also being God is a contradictory statement, for God is the all-knowing. God, even according to the Christian narrative, should be all knowing. This verse also separates Jesus from the Father, in the sense that they are not the same, and the Father is superior than Jesus. Since the Father has more knowledge than the Son, the Son cannot be all-knowing, and therefore cannot be God as stated previously. While Christians may declare that this statement is not a way of disproving the "Trinity", it also begs the following question? "If Jesus were to declare how he is not divine, how would he have done so?" The answer is pretty simple. This is the way he would have done it. Had Jesus wanted to openly declare his divinity, then you must consider the fact that he would have made it more obvious, since to the reader it makes it clear that Jesus is reaffirming is lack of divinity. This presents a contradiction within the scope of the core Christian theology.
Mark 10:18
"'Why do you call me good?' Jesus answered. 'No-one is good - except God alone."
This statement makes it clear to the reader that Jesus is distinguishing himself from God. Had he been divine, Jesus would be like the Father, in the sense that he would truly be the most good, the most just. more to follow soon
