Adorazione lo stesso o del dio differente?

Ciò è una risposta al missionario articolo su un cosiddetto “errore„ nel Qur'. Riteniamo basicamente che questo reclamo di loro riguardo a questo essere “un errore„ nel Qur' è descritto il più bene come “polemic illogico„. Esigono quello “i problemi che questo surah propone dovrebbe essere apparente a chiunque al corrente sia del Qur' che delle tradizioni islamiche„ e riprodurre la retorica di missionario, identificano “il primo problema„ come:

Primo problema: A chi questo Surah sta riferendosi esattamente?

(a) La gente del libro (ebrei, cristiani, forse Sabians)?
(b) I idolaters di Meccan?

In primo luogo, lascili stabiliscono la metodologia corretta nella nostra interpretazione di suddetto verse. Useremo il Qur' per interpretare il Qur', come questa è la metodologia perfettamente accettata come adottato exegesis anic in Qur'. Di conseguenza, se usiamo il Qur' per interpretare il Qur', può essere notato facilmente che il Qur' presenti molti tipi differenti di disbelievers. Di conseguenza, una persona dovrebbe andare indietro ed osservare con il Qur' per identificare che il tipo “di disbeliever„ misura la categoria di surah 109. Ciò è il senso corretto di capire il Qur'.

Ora, passando verso “ha disputato„ il surah, noi leggono quello:

“Opinione: Disbelievers della O! Adoro non quello che culto del ye; Né ye di culto quello che adoro. E non adorerò quello che culto del ye. Né culto del ye quello che adoro. Unto voi la vostra religione ed unto me la mia religione.„ (Q. 109:1-6)

È stabilito in tutto il surah autorevole del Prophet (p) che questo verse è un surah di Makkan che è stato rivelato quando i idolators in Makkah hanno confrontato il Prophet (P) con “una proposta„ per ricambiare il suo pubblico che predica nella città. Di conseguenza la risposta alla retorica di missionario è (b). Certamente non vediamo come i missionari potrebbero sostenere che ci sono “problemi„ in questo verse rispetto a chi è diretto, quando è chiaro che chiunque che capisca an-nuzul del asbab di questo surah non vede problemi in esso!

It should be noted that if a religion’s concept of God is incorrect even though there are some elements of truth in its conception of God, then Muslims will neither worship that God nor will the disbelievers worship our different concept of God (or otherwise it will negate their religion).The Qur’an never stated that any other religion’s concept of God is completely correct. This is clearly noted in ‘ayah 4:36, “…worship Allah and join none with Him in worship”.

The so-called “second problem” generated by the missionaries is the claim that the above s?rah contradicts verses such as:

“…our God and your God is One, and unto Him we surrender.” (Q. 29:46)

To make things clear, the missionary is really claiming that his interpretation of ‘ayah 29:46 is in contradiction. Therefore, in order to arrive at the correct interpretation it is very important that we do not look at verses in a vacuum, and divorce it from the context — ‘ayahs 3:64 and 5:74 informs us that there is something false about the Christians’ understanding of God, and that they have too many gods in their belief (Trinity). This “God is One” has been clearly defined and excludes the Trinity or “sons of God”.

Therefore, ‘ayah 29:46 is not stating that the Christians have a correct understanding of God in this verse or the correct number of Gods and Muslims share in that understanding. That is a false and twisted interpretation. Rather, the only other valid interpretation is that the Qur’an is teaching the Christians the truth about the God which they read about in the Bible, by reaffirming:

“Our God and YOUR God is One.” (Q. 29:46)

This phrase “God is One” has already been defined in the Qur’?n as one being without Trinity or a Son:

“O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth. The Messiah ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah and His Word, (”Be!” - and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Ruh) created by Him; so believe in All?h and His Messengers. Say not: “Three (trinity)!” Cease! (it is) better for you. For All?h is (the only) One Il?h (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is All Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.” (Q. 4:171)

Here we see God directly addressing both the Jews and Christians (with special reference to the latter). Notice how the phrase “Allah (God) is one” is being used here to condemn the Christian understanding of God (Trinity, Sonship, Divinity of Christ), and also, to correct the false Christian understanding of the Christians but emphatically stating “for Allah is (the only) One Ilah! Therefore, if Christians believe that Jesus is God, part of a Trinity, or has a Sonship with God, they obviously do not belive in one God as defined by the Qur’an. Therefore, it is clear that when the Qur’an pronounces “God is One” to the Christians it is not agreeing with the Christian concept of God, rather it goes on the offensive in condemning and correcting their beliefs.

Therefore, to rephrase this statement:

    If God is One = the God, without partners or a Trinity

    then

    Our God and your God, is God without partners or a Trinity

The author of the Qur’an is pronouncing to the Christian that GOD IS ONE! It is completely irrelevant as to what the Christians already believed about their God, it means nothing to the author of the Qur’an in ‘ayah 29:46 because the Qur’an is telling them what is the truth. Nevertheless, it is admitted that the Christians do worship this God but they worship this God in tandem with additional partners (’ayahs 3:64, 5:74).

It will always be a missionary fantasy to find “incoherance” or “problems” within the Noble Qur’an. The biggest problem in these types of discussions, however, is that the Christians have been duped into believing that they are strict monotheists who worship only one God, which is a totally false assumption from the start. Please also keep in mind that the Qur’an also clearly states that the Bible has been corrupted (’ayahs 2:79, 4:157), which would explain how the Christians fell into false doctrines about God.

We have used the traditional method of Qur’anic exegesis, i.e., al-Qur’an yufassiru ba’duhu ba’dan (different parts of the Qur’an explain each other). What is given in a general way in one place is discussed in detail in some other place in the Qur’an. What is dealt with briefly at one place is expanded in some other place.

And only God knows best!
