The Missionaries and the "Mystery" of PBUH

There is a common claim circulated in Christian Arab circles with regard to the beatific phrase sallallahu `alayhi was-sallam which comes as an eulogy to the Prophet’s name. It was first propagated in the English-speaking world by the Christian Arab missionary, Anis Shorrosh, who claims that this eulogy does not literally mean “peace be upon him” but “occurs in the Quranic text” and: …literally reads, “Lo! Allah and His angels pray upon the prophet. Oh yea who believe, pray on him and salute him with peace.”

The title of this booklet itself is taken from Sura’ al-Fatihah, the first chapter of the Qur’an….Read More

Arabic Bible "Calligraphy": Expression of Art or Evidence for Deception?

The Christian missionaries are well-known for their deception in order to spread their so-called “God-given” purpose to spread the Gospel to the world. This approach is not alien to the missionary agenda, for it is founded upon the very words of Paul, who laid down deception as the missionary approach. It is with this “mission” in mind that they have started to infiltrate countries where the majority of Muslims do not habitually read or speak Arabic. The missionaries have begun selling images which mirrors the calligraphy often found in Qur’anic verses, but instead of the usual Qur’anic verses, they cite verses from the Arabic Bible instead. This truly displays the deception of the missionaries in order to dupe gullible Muslims to their cause….Read More
