1] The Christian belief that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is the son of Allah (Allah is beyond this) is a grave error - 2

1] The term "son" in Christianity is used in the sense of being a
servant ofAllah, just as it is in the Torah and the Qur'an. Of course
the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is a beloved servant of Allah, but he is
still a human being, who becomes hungry and eats, drinks water, rests
when tired, who sleeps and whohas needs, like all created entities. It
is a fact that this is set out in a great many passages in the
Gospels. (You can read about the Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) human
characteristics in the Gospel and how he is a Messenger who transmits
the revelation of Allah from here .) In the same way, Allah has
revealed in the Qur'an that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is a human being,
tested and with needs, like everyone else:
The Messiah, the son of Mary, was only a Messenger, before whom other
Messengerscame and went. His mother was a woman of truth. Both of them
ate food. See how We make the signs clear to them! Then see how they
are perverted! (Surat al-Ma'ida, 75)
Devout Christians must behave honestly on this subject and realize
that to ascribe divinity to a human being is a violationof the law of
Allah, the Christianity brought by theProphet Jesus (pbuh) and of the
pronouncements in the Gospels and the Torah,as well as of reason and
logic. They must admit thepossibility that such a belief, added on to
the true and genuine Gospels hundreds of years later, may represent a
serious danger and reflect deeply upon it. What can be the possible
meaning or use intrying to ascribe the sublime attributes of Allahto a
human being and to regard a human being as divine? Almighty Allah
certainly has no need of that (surely Allah is beyond that). Such an
ideaSIGNIFIES A FAILURE TO PROPERLY APPRECIATE ALLAH'S MIGHT AND
GREATNESS.
Above and beyond this, Christians themselves must reject the idea of
Almighty Allah appearing on earth in the form of a human being. This
is disrespect for the glory of Almighty Allah. Allah's might,
greatness, glory, might and infinite power are a blessing for
Christians. Is it better to believe in an all-powerful Allah or to
take as one's god a human being who sleeps, eats and has needs? All
Christians will of course at once see the answer to this. Allah has no
need to appear on Earth as a mortal and needy entity in order to
reveal His sublime Presence to human beings.(Surely Allah is beyond
that.) Our Christian brothers must consider the Gospels rationally and
evaluate all these things ina manner compatible withthe glory of
Allah.
The fact that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) has human characteristics is
not, of course, a state of affairs that will in any way reduce his
value as a prophet. Jesus (pbuh) is a greatly valued and most holy
prophet of our Almighty Lord. Like all other prophets, he occupies the
loftiest and holiest position in Allah's Sight. He is Allah's friend,
agreat prophet.
The important thing is to believe in Allah – our One and only Creator.
Allah wants people to believe inand serve Him, without engaging in
idolatry. There is no need for Allah to appear on Earth in human form
for people to be able to serve Him. If our Christian brothers wish to
approach this subject from a genuinely honest perspective they should
ask themselves thisquestion: What would Allah lose from any of His
attributes by not manifesting His Presence in the Prophet Jesus
(pbuh)? (Surely Allah is beyond that) Allah not manifesting His
Presence in a human being would take nothing away from His attributes,
sublimity and beauty. Indeed, this will increase His beauty and make
His sublime qualities better and more properly appreciated. Howcould
it be possible to appreciate the sublime qualities of Allah by
imagining that He manifested His Presence ina mortal, weak and needy
human being who sleeps and eats? Of course, it could not.
Some Christians maintain that Allah's manifesting Himself as God in a
humanbeing (may He forbid) is a means whereby people can reach, draw
closer to and pray to Him. But this stems from a failure to properly
appreciate Allah'sgreatness and might. Almighty Allah has no needs for
instruments for the human beings He creates to reach Him. ALLAH IS
EVERYWHERE , "We are nearer to him than his JUGULAR VEIN (Surah Qaf,
16). Allah also makes this clear in the Gospel:
Do not be like them, for your God knows what you need before you ask
Him . (Matthew 6:8)
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's Sight.Everything is
uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom wemust give
account. (Hebrews 4:13)

The Christian belief that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is the son of Allah (Allah is beyond this), is a grave error - 1

The Christianity that was born among the Jews living in the Holy Land
developed as devout Jews who lived according to thelaw of the Prophet
Moses (pbuh) came to follow theProphet Jesus (pbuh). One
characteristic of these Jews who followed the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was
that they believed in Allah as the one and only.
However, this monotheistic belief changed following the Prophet Jesus'
(pbuh) ascension into heaven andas Christianity spread into the pagan
world, and the monotheistic belief that represented the basis of the
law of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) underwent amajor alteration. Because
of the belief in the trinity that was subsequently made part of
Christianity, the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) began to be regarded as divine
(surely Allah is beyond that). The Christians in question began
claiming that Almighty Allah appeared in the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) as a
human body, and this belief spread widely.
Belief in the trinity is used in the sense of a belief in atripartite
Allah they maintain consists of "the Father, Son and Holy Ghost"
(surely Allah is beyond that). (You can find further detail on the
subject from here .) Led and supported by Constantine, the Roman
emperor of the time, various people who wanted to alter Christian
belief took passages from the Torah and the Gospels that mentioned
"the son of God" and began using these as supposed evidence. The fact
is, however, that the references to "the son of God" in the Torah and
the Gospels are an excellent expression of the fact that all believers
are beloved servants of Allah. This fact is made clear in the
Gospelaccording to Matthew in the words,"Blessed are thepeacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God" (Matthew, 5:9). This reference to
the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) has the same meaning. The word "son" in the
Gospels means a beloved servant of Allah, and not that the person is
in fact the son of Allah (surely He is beyond that). This false and
exceedingly dangerous belief that was made part of Christianity
subsequently and was intended to destroy monotheistic belief gradually
became the most important article of faith and precondition of
Christianity, and those who rejected it were regarded as people who
had abandoned the faith. Efforts were made, under the leadership of
priests who espoused the trinity, to impose this mistaken belief on
society by the use of force and pressure, and it was made part of
Christianity by force. Anyone opposing belief in the trinity faced
severe sanctions, and might be exiled or even killed. (You can read
the historical details of how belief in thetrinity was imposed on
Christianity from here .)
The belief in the trinity that was subsequently included in
Christianity, or the belief of the three in one as some Christians
putit, appears nowhere in the Torah or the Gospels. There are no
references to the trinity on the Gospels. Belief in the trinity, which
grew as a superstition in this climate of duress and oppression, and
the resulting description of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) as the son of
God, is a grave danger and serious error that some Christians are
living alongside even today. In the Qur'an, Almighty Allah describes
this claim as a monstrous thing and sets out the scale of the danger
as follows:
They say, 'The All-Merciful has a son.'
They have devised a monstrous thing.
The heavens are all but rent apart and the earth split open and the
mountains brought crashing down,
at their ascription of a son to the All-Merciful!
It is not fitting for the All-Merciful to have a son.
There is no one in the heavens and earth who will not come to the
All-Merciful as a slave. (Surah Maryam 88-93)
Genuine Christians must see this terrible danger. They must realize
that the belief in the trinity that was added to the Gospels hundreds
of years later and despotically imposed despite all resistance in a
terrible climate of corruption is in fact in total conflict with the
Gospels. You can find other statements on the subject in our
subsequent articles.

behind the articles about Christianity on this site

It is important for genuine Christians tounderstand the true purpose behind the articles about Christianity on this site

Our site frequently carries statements concerning various Christian
beliefs and practices and will be continuing to do so. These articles
discuss false beliefsin Christianity and additions that have entered
the faith at a laterdate that are incompatiblewith the Qur'an and stem
from misinterpretation of the Gospel. It also sets out the true
aspects of these. However, in reading and examining the articles in
question it is very important for our Christianbrothers to fully grasp
their true purpose and wisdom.
The aim behind these articles is not to run disparage Christians, to
invalidate the whole of the Gospel or to do away with Christianity
entirely. The true Gospel is praised in the Qur'an and confirmed as a
holy book given to the Prophet Jesus(pbuh). As revealed in verse 136
of Surat al-Baqara, Muslims say, " Say, 'We believe in Allah and what
has been sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham and Ishmael
and Isaac and Jacob and the Tribes, and what Moses and Jesus were
given, and what all the prophets were given by their Lord. We do not
differentiate between any of them. We are Muslims submitted to Him '."
For that reason, and just like Christians, Muslims have a
responsibility to abide by the true provisions in the Gospel and to
praise the wise contents thereof. In that sense, these articles
aimedat Christians are a call to honesty, to the truth, to the true
Gospel. IT IS TO ENABLE CHRISTIANS to be freed from the false
practices and superstitioussubsequent additions that are nowhere in
the true Gospel revealed to the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) AND TO ENABLE
THEM TO BECOME TRUE CHRISTIANS WHO LIVE BY THE PROVISIONS OF THE TRUE
GOSPEL.
WE MUSLIMS WILL ALSO WANT CHRISTIANS TO BE TRULY DEVOUT. But, as
required by Allah's commandment in the Qur'an to "enjoin the right and
forbid the wrong" (Surah Al 'Imran, 104), we also have a
responsibility to lead Christians away from the errors they have
unwittingly fallen into andto show them the truth. For that reason,
and like all believers, it is of the greatest importance for
Christians to be warned against these dangers and called to the true
judgments set out by Allah, and to reason and logic.
Almighty Allah speaks in the Qur'an of the existenceof the People of
the Book (Christians and Jews). According to the Qur'an, the People of
the Book aretrue believers placed under Muslims' protection.Muslims
therefore have a duty to ensure the People of the Book abide by the
provisions of the Torah and the Gospel and to enable them to become
even more sincere and devout by showing them the truth. That is what
we are trying to do here.
The articles you will be reading discuss beliefs that have entered the
truefaith of Christianity over the years and which we are warned
against as dangers in the Qur'an. In setting out the verses of the
Qur'an that speak of these error, evidence will be provided that will
free the Gospel, Christians' ownHoly Book, from these errors. As with
all beliefs, there may be those Christians who adopt a radical
approach to matters, who are fixed in their attachment to these
beliefs we discuss and who have a prejudiced perspective regarding the
Qur'an. Our advice to the Christians in question is to read the
articles here objectively and to evaluate what is discussedthrough a
new, rational perspective. This will be instrumental, not in them
turning away from the provisions of the Gospel but, on the contrary,
IN THEIR EVALUATING THE GOSPEL IN A MORE HONEST MANNER AND LIVING EVEN
MORE PERFECTLY BY THE GOSPEL.
The Christian belief that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)is the son of Allah
(Allah is beyond this), is a grave error – (1)

The Mode of Prayer (Salaat) for Women

Prayer to be offered by women differs from that of men only in the
practical manner of its offering and not in the spiritual sense. The
Prayer times, the supplications, the number of prostrations, bows,
etc., do not differ. The difference in the physical aspects of Prayer
arise from the fact that women's physique differs from that of men,
and follow from the commands which Allah (The Supreme) has stipulated
for themin the Holy Quran and through the Hadith of the Holy Prophet .
Most differences relate to clothing, concealment of body, posture and
concealment of voice. Prior to listing the differences in women's
mode of Prayer, we provide references from the Holy Quran and Hadith
which are the PROOFS of, and form the main bases of these differences:
A. From The Holy Quran – Regarding Concealment Of The Body
1. [Surah Noor Verse 31] And command the Muslim women to keep their
gaze low and to protect their chastity, and not to reveal their
adornment except what is apparent, and to keep the cover wrapped over
their bosoms; and not to reveal their adornment except to their own
husbands or fathers or husbands'fathers, or their sons or their
husbands' sons, or their brothersor their brothers' sons or sisters'
sons, or women of their religion, or the bondwomen they possess,or
male servants provided they do not have manliness, or such children
who do not know of women's nakedness, and not to stamp their feet on
the ground inorder that their hidden adornment be known; and O
Muslims, all of you turn in repentance together towards Allah, in the
hope of attaining success.
2. [Surah Ahzab Verse 59] O Prophet! Command your wives and your
daughters and the women of the Muslims to cover their faces with a
part of their cloaks; this is closer to their being recognised and not
being harassed; and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
B. From The Holy Quran – Regarding Concealment Of Voice
3. [Surah Ahzab Verses 32 - 33] O the wives of the Prophet! You are
not like any other women - if you really fear Allah, then do not speak
softly lest the one in whose heart is a disease have anyinclination,
and speak fairly. And remain in your houses and do notunveil
yourselves like the unveiling prevalent in the times of ignorance, and
keep the prayerestablished, and pay the charity, and obey Allah and
His Noble Messenger; Allah only wills to remove all impurity from you,
O the People of the Household, and by cleansing you make you utterly
pure.
C. From The Hadith – Regarding Difference In Prayer Positions
4. Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be well pleased with him) narrates
that the Holy Prophet said, 'When a woman sits in Sajdah by putting
one thigh uponthe other (i.e. close to one another) and at the time of
Sajdah (prostration) her stomach touches her thighs and she also takes
full consideration of Hijaab , then Allah Taãla looks at her and says
to the angels, 'Bear witness that I have forgiven her.' (Baihaqi,
Kanzul Ummaal)
5. Once the Holy Prophet saw two women offering Prayer and he said,
'When you (women) make Sajdah (prostrate) then let the limbs of your
body touch one another and make them touch the ground.' Surely in this
(prostration posture) women are not similar to men.' (Masaail Abu
Dawood)
6. Wail ibn Hajar (may Allah be well pleased with him) said that the
Holy Prophet taught him to offer Prayer and he said, 'O ibn Hajar!
When you begin your Prayer then lift your hands up to your ears and
show the women that they should lift up to their chests.' (Tabarrani)
7. Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be well pleased with him) was once
asked on how women used to offer Prayer during the time of the Holy
Prophet . He replied, 'First they used to read Prayer cross-legged,
then they were commanded to cling to themselves,' (Jaami al-Masanid).
D. From Hadith – Regarding Concealment Of Voice During Prayer
8. Narrated Abu Huraira (May Allah be well pleased with him), The Holy
Prophet once said:"The saying ' Sub Han Allah ' is for men and
clapping is for women."(If something happens in the prayer, the men
can invite the attention of the Imam by saying " Sub Han Allah ". And
women, by clapping their hands). (Bukhari)
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN'S AND WOMEN'S PRAYER
1. Concealing the body ( Satr-e-Aurat ) – that is to conceal/cover the
necessary partsof the body. For men, this consists of the body between
thenavel up to and including the knees. For women this consists of the
entire body, except the face, hands and soles of the feet. Women must
hide their faces from strangers whilst not in Prayers. Wearing clothes
that are so thin that body colour is exposed will make the Prayer
void. Similar is the case of the head scarf if the shine of hair is
revealed. In fact, wearing such clothes is prohibited even
outsidePrayer. Before beginning Prayer the woman should make sure that
(other than her face, palms and the soles of her feet) her entire body
is properly covered with opaque clothes. If she offersPrayer in thin
clothes which reveal the colour of the skin or the shine of her hair,
it will render the Prayer void. It is obligatory to also hide the
neck, ears, hair-locks hanging from the head, and the wrists.
2. If any part of the body (other than her face, palms and the soles
of her feet) is exposed up toone fourth of its area, and she proclaims
the " Takbeer Tahreemah " ("Allahu Akbar") without hiding it, then the
Prayerwill be deemed to have not started at all. If one fourth or more
of it gets exposed during the Prayer for a time in
which"Subhaan-Allah" can be recited thrice, it will render the Prayer
void.
3. While saying " Takbeer Tahreemah " (Allahu Akbar) a woman should
raise her hands only up to her shoulders (and notup to the ears) and
should not take them out of her cloak.
4. In the Qiyaam (standing position), she should place her left palm
on the middle of her chest and the right palm over theleft.
5. While bowing, she should only bow a little, enough for her hands to
touch her knees, without holding them. The fingers should be kept
straight. She should stand with her knees slightly bent, and her arms
close to her body.
6. She should perform the prostration with her body drawn together
i.e. she should keep the abdomen joined with the thighs, the thighs
with the calves, the shins with the ground, the arms to the sides and
the wrists spread on the ground. Further, instead of keeping the feet
upright, both feet should be spread out towards the right.
7. While in Qaadah (sitting position), instead of keeping the right
foot upright, both feet should be slid out towards the right, with her
sitting on the left foot.
8. For women, praying in a room is better than praying out in the
courtyard, and praying in a basement is better than praying in a room.
(Abu Dawood).
OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS :
1. Women are exempted from offering Prayer whilst in state of impurity
(due to menses or childbirth).
2. Women should take extra care during " Wuzu and Tayammum " by moving
ornaments (such as rings) in order not to leave the area below them -
whereas nail polish should be totally removed.
3. If several persons are praying in the same room, women should pray
behind the men. They should not stand in line with the men.
4. Women should offer their five daily Prayers, Taraweeh and Witr
individually. It is Makrooh Tahreemi for them to offer Prayerwith
congregation. (Shaami Vol.1). A woman cannot be a leader (Imam) in any
congregational Prayer.
