Please
Note Well — It is not our intent to belittle, unduly criticize, or “bash” anyone who may hold religious or
political persuasions or opinions other than our own. Even though we may absolutely and totally disagree with your
opinion, we will defend to the death your G-d-given right to hold it. Since this website was
originally launched in 1995, we have continually held the position that We are not “anti-”anybody; we are only
pro-Truth [click here for the definition of “Truth”].
We firmly
believe that it can be proven with absolute certainty that the Bible, and the Bible only, is the revealed
Word of G-d,
and is the standard by which all knowledge and opinion must be judged. Information on this website that
concerns non-Biblical religious beliefs is provided for the sole purpose of comparing those beliefs with the
Revealed Truth of the Bible. We also attempt to
demonstrate how far the Body of Messiah has drifted from its Jewish origins. We earnestly await the return of
Messiah and the “Restoration of All Things” as promised by the prophets. If you disagree with our position,
please click this link.
As
the Olam Habah
quickly approaches, each of us is faced with some very difficult choices. One of these choices is whether or not
to defend ourselves from those who would force us to “submit” to the rule of Islam and Allah over every aspect of
our daily lives. (The word “Islam” literally means "to submit" or "to surrender" [to
Allah].) We have decided to stand with Joshua: “As for me and my household, we will serve
ADONAI!” (Jos
24:15 (CJB) -
Show Context)
Our
political and religious leaders tell us daily that Islam is a “peaceful religion” and that the great majority of
Muslims want only to live next to us in peace. However, it is expressly forbidden by the Qur'an for a Muslim to
accept a non-Muslim as a friend (Sura
3:28), and whoever does so “shall have nothing of Allah” (i.e., cannot, by their own definition, be a
true Muslim). If a person claims to be a Muslim, they must (by definition) believe the Qur'an; if
they claim to believe the Qur'an, they must believe the whole Qur'an, which says: “Say to those who
disbelieve [the Qur'an]: You shall be vanquished, and driven together to hell; and evil is the resting-place”
(Sura 3:12).
In Islamic eschatology (the teaching about the future) the ultimate goal of Islam is to
convert or kill all Jews and
Christians, and to have a one-world Islamic government and religion.

Due to
the numerous threats we have received from “peaceful” Muslims, we have been forced to remove our physical address
from the website. |

Please Note: In both
Islamic theology and uninformed Western society, the word “Allah” is often translated
“God,” as if Allah were the same as the G-d of the Bible
(which
he absolutely is not). Whenever “Allah”
has been translated as “God” in this copy of the Qur'an, we have corrected that grave
error by replaced that word with the correct designation “[Allah]”. |

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[17.1] Glory be to Him Who made His servant to go on a night from
the Sacred Mosque to the remote mosque of which We have blessed the
precincts, so that We may show to him some of Our signs; surely He is the
Hearing, the Seeing.
[17.2] And We gave Musa the Book and made it a guidance to the
children of Israel, saying: Do not take a protector besides Me;
[Reject HaShem and serve Allah instead!]
[17.3] The offspring of those whom We bore with Nuh; surely he was
a grateful servant.
[17.4] And We had made known to the children of Israel in the Book:
Most certainly you [Israel] will make mischief
in the land twice, and most certainly you [Israel]
will behave insolently with great insolence.
[17.5] So when the promise for the first of the two came, We
[Islam] sent over you
[Israel] Our servants, of mighty prowess, so
they went to and fro among the houses, and it was a promise to be
accomplished.
[17.6] Then We gave you back the turn to prevail against them, and
aided you with wealth and children and made you a numerous band.
[17.7] If you do good, you will do good for your own souls, and if
you do evil, it shall be for them. So when the second promise came (We raised
another people) that they [Islam] may
bring you [Israel] to grief and that
they may enter the mosque as they entered it the first time, and that they
[Islam] might destroy whatever they
gained ascendancy over [Israel] with
utter destruction.
[17.8] It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you, and if you
again return (to disobedience) We too will return (to punishment), and We [Islam] have made hell a prison for the
unbelievers [Israel].
[17.9] Surely this Quran guides to that which is most upright and
gives good news to the believers who do good that they shall have a great
reward.
[17.10] And that (as for) those who do not believe in the
hereafter, We have prepared for them a painful chastisement.
[17.11] And man prays for evil as he ought to pray for good, and
man is ever hasty.
[17.12] And We have made the night and the day two signs, then We
have made the sign of the night to pass away and We have made the sign of the
day manifest, so that you may seek grace from your Lord, and that you might
know the numbering of years and the reckoning; and We have explained
everything with distinctness.
[17.13] And We have made every man's actions to cling to his neck,
and We will bring forth to him on the resurrection day a book which he will
find wide open:
[17.14] Read your book; your own self is sufficient as a reckoner
against you this day.
[17.15] Whoever goes aright, for his own soul does he go aright;
and whoever goes astray, to its detriment only does he go astray: nor can the
bearer of a burden bear the burden of another, nor do We chastise until We
raise an apostle.
[17.16] And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment
to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus
the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction.
[17.17] And how many of the generations did We destroy after Nuh!
and your Lord is sufficient as Knowing and Seeing with regard to His
servants' faults.
[17.18] Whoever desires this present life, We hasten to him therein
what We please for whomsoever We desire, then We assign to him the hell; he
shall enter it despised, driven away.
[17.19] And whoever desires the hereafter and strives for it as he
ought to strive and he is a believer; (as for) these, their striving shall
surely be accepted.
[17.20] All do We aid-- these as well as those-- out of the bounty
of your Lord, and the bounty of your Lord is not confined.
[17.21] See how We have made some of them to excel others, and
certainly the hereafter is much superior in respect of excellence.
[17.22] Do not associate with Allah any other G-d, lest you
sit down despised, neglected. [By his own mouth, Allah
is NOT the G-d of Avraham, Yitzhak, and Ya'acov!]
[17.23] And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any)
but Him, and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old
age with you, say not to them (so much as) "Ugh" nor chide them, and speak to
them a generous word.
[17.24] And make yourself submissively gentle to them with
compassion, and say: O my Lord! have compassion on them, as they brought me
up (when I was) little.
[17.25] Your Lord knows best what is in your minds; if you are
good, then He is surely Forgiving to those who turn (to Him) frequently.
[17.26] And give to the near of kin his due and (to) the needy and
the wayfarer, and do not squander wastefully.
[17.27] Surely the squanderers are the fellows of the Shaitans and
the Shaitan is ever ungrateful to his Lord.
[17.28] And if you turn away from them to seek mercy from your
Lord, which you hope for, speak to them a gentle word.
[17.29] And do not make your hand to be shackled to your neck nor
stretch it forth to the utmost (limit) of its stretching forth, lest you
should (afterwards) sit down blamed, stripped off.
[17.30] Surely your Lord makes plentiful the means of subsistence
for whom He pleases and He straitens (them); surely He is ever Aware of,
Seeing, His servants.
[17.31] And do not kill your children for fear of poverty; We give
them sustenance and yourselves (too); surely to kill them is a great wrong.
[17.32] And go not nigh to fornication; surely it is an indecency
and an evil way.
[17.33] And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except
for a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his
heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying; surely he
is aided.
[17.34] And draw not near to the property of the orphan except in a
goodly way till he attains his maturity and fulfill the promise; surely
(every) promise shall be questioned about.
[17.35] And give full measure when you measure out, and weigh with
a true balance; this is fair and better in the end.
[17.36] And follow not that of which you have not the knowledge;
surely the hearing and the sight and the heart, all of these, shall be
questioned about that.
[17.37] And do not go about in the land exultingly, for you cannot
cut through the earth nor reach the mountains in height.
[17.38] All this-- the evil of it-- is hateful in the sight of your
Lord.
[17.39] This is of what your Lord has revealed to you of wisdom,
and do not associate any other G-d with Allah lest you should be
thrown into hell, blamed, cast away. [By his own mouth,
Allah is NOT the G-d of Avraham, Yitzhak, and Ya'acov!]
[17.40] What! has then your Lord preferred to give you sons, and
(for Himself) taken daughters from among the angels? Most surely you utter a
grievous saying.
[17.41] And certainly We have repeated (warnings) in this Quran
that they may be mindful, but it does not add save to their aversion.
[17.42] Say: If there were with Him gods as they say, then
certainly they would have been able to seek a way to the Lord of power.
[17.43] Glory be to Him and exalted be He in high exaltation above
what they say.
[17.44] The seven heavens declare His glory and the earth (too),
and those who are in them; and there is not a single thing but glorifies Him
with His praise, but you do not understand their glorification; surely He is
Forbearing, Forgiving.
[17.45] And when you recite the Quran, We place between you and
those who do not believe in the hereafter a hidden barrier;
[17.46] And We have placed coverings on their hearts and a
heaviness in their ears lest they understand it, and when you mention your
Lord alone in the Quran they turn their backs in aversion.
[17.47] We know best what they listen to when they listen to you,
and when they take counsel secretly, when the unjust say: You follow only a
man deprived of reason.
[17.48] See what they liken you to! So they have gone astray and
cannot find the way.
[17.49] And they say: What! when we shall have become bones and
decayed particles, shall we then certainly be raised up, being a new
creation?
[17.50] Say: Become stones or iron,
[17.51] Or some other creature of those which are too hard (to
receive life) in your minds! But they will say: Who will return us? Say: Who
created you at first. Still they will shake their heads at you and say: When
will it be? Say: Maybe it has drawn nigh.
[17.52] On the day when He will call you forth, then shall you obey
Him, giving Him praise, and you will think that you tarried but a little
(while).
[17.53] And say to My servants (that) they speak that which is
best; surely the Shaitan sows dissensions among them; surely the Shaitan is
an open enemy to man.
[17.54] Your Lord knows you best; He will have mercy on you if He
pleases, or He will chastise you if He pleases; and We have not sent you as
being in charge of them.
[17.55] And your Lord best knows those who are in the heavens and
the earth; and certainly We have made some of the prophets to excel others,
and to Dawood We gave a scripture.
[17.56] Say: Call on those whom you assert besides Him, so they
shall not control the removal of distress from you nor (its) transference.
[17.57] Those whom they call upon, themselves seek the means of
access to their Lord-- whoever of them is nearest-- and they hope for His
mercy and fear His chastisement; surely the chastisement of your Lord is a
thing to be cautious of.
[17.58] And there is not a town but We will destroy it before the
day of resurrection or chastise it with a severe chastisement; this is
written in the Divine ordinance.
[17.59] And nothing could have hindered Us that We should send
signs except that the ancients rejected them; and We gave to Samood the
she-camel-- a manifest sign-- but on her account they did injustice, and We
do not send signs but to make (men) fear.
[17.60] And when We said to you: Surely your Lord encompasses men;
and We did not make the vision which We showed you but a trial for men and
the cursed tree in the Quran as well; and We cause them to fear, but it only
adds to their great inordinacy.
[17.61] And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam;
they made obeisance, but Iblis (did it not). He said: Shall I make obeisance
to him whom Thou hast created of dust?
[17.62] He said: Tell me, is this he whom Thou hast honored above
me? If Thou shouldst respite me to the day of resurrection, I will most
certainly cause his progeny to perish except a few.
[17.63] He said: Be gone! for whoever of them will follow you, then
surely hell is your recompense, a full recompense:
[17.64] And beguile whomsoever of them you can with your voice, and
collect against them your forces riding and on foot, and share with them in
wealth and children, and hold out promises to them; and the Shaitan makes not
promises to them but to deceive:
[17.65] Surely (as for) My servants, you have no authority over
them; and your Lord is sufficient as a Protector.
[17.66] Your Lord is He Who speeds the ships for you in the sea
that you may seek of His grace; surely He is ever Merciful to you.
[17.67] And when distress afflicts you in the sea, away go those
whom you call on except He; but when He brings you safe to the land, you turn
aside; and man is ever ungrateful.
[17.68] What! Do you then feel secure that He will not cause a
tract of land to engulf you or send on you a tornado? Then you shall not find
a protector for yourselves.
[17.69] Or, do you feel secure that He will (not) take you back
into it another time, then send on you a fierce gale and thus drown you on
account of your ungratefulness? Then you shall not find any aider against Us
in the matter.
[17.70] And surely We have honored the children of Adam, and We
carry them in the land and the sea, and We have given them of the good
things, and We have made them to excel by an appropriate excellence over most
of those whom We have created.
[17.71] (Remember) the day when We will call every people with
their Imam; then whoever is given his book in his right hand, these shall
read their book; and they shall not be dealt with a whit unjustly.
[17.72] And whoever is blind in this, he shall (also) be blind in
the hereafter; and more erring from the way.
[17.73] And surely they had purposed to turn you away from that
which We have revealed to you, that you should forge against Us other than
that, and then they would certainly have taken you for a friend.
[17.74] And had it not been that We had already established you,
you would certainly have been near to incline to them a little;
[17.75] In that case We would certainly have made you to taste a
double (punishment) in this life and a double (punishment) after death, then
you would not have found any helper against Us.
[17.76] And surely they purposed to unsettle you from the land that
they might expel you from it, and in that case they will not tarry behind you
but a little.
[17.77] (This is Our) course with regard to those of Our apostles
whom We sent before you, and you shall not find a change in Our course.
[17.78] Keep up prayer from the declining of the sun till the
darkness of the night and the morning recitation; surely the morning
recitation is witnessed.
[17.79] And during a part of the night, pray Tahajjud beyond what
is incumbent on you; maybe your Lord will raise you to a position of great
glory.
[17.80] And say: My Lord! make me to enter a goodly entering, and
cause me to go forth a goodly going forth, and grant me from near Thee power
to assist (me).
[17.81] And say: The truth has come and the falsehood has vanished;
surely falsehood is a vanishing (thing).
[17.82] And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a
mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust.
[17.83] And when We bestow favor on man, he turns aside and behaves
proudly, and when evil afflicts him, he is despairing.
[17.84] Say: Every one acts according to his manner; but your Lord
best knows who is best guided in the path.
[17.85] And they ask you about the soul. Say: The soul is one of
the commands of my Lord, and you are not given aught of knowledge but a
little.
[17.86] And if We please, We should certainly take away that which
We have revealed to you, then you would not find for it any protector against
Us.
[17.87] But on account of mercy from your Lord-- surely His grace
to you is abundant.
[17.88] Say: If men and jinn should combine together to bring the
like of this Quran, they could not bring the like of it, though some of them
were aiders of others.
[17.89] And certainly We have explained for men in this Quran every
kind of similitude, but most men do not consent to aught but denying.
[17.90] And they say: We will by no means believe in you until you
cause a fountain to gush forth from the earth for us.
[17.91] Or you should have a garden of palms and grapes in the
midst of which you should cause rivers to flow forth, gushing out.
[17.92] Or you should cause the heaven to come down upon us in
pieces as you think, or bring Allah and the angels face to face (with us).
[17.93] Or you should have a house of gold, or you should ascend
into heaven, and we will not believe in your ascending until you bring down
to us a book which we may read. Say: Glory be to my Lord; am I aught but a
mortal apostle?
[17.94] And nothing prevented people from believing when the
guidance came to them except that they said: What! has Allah raised up a
mortal to be an apostle?
[17.95] Say: Had there been in the earth angels walking about as
settlers, We would certainly have sent down to them from the heaven an angel
as an apostle.
[17.96] Say: Allah suffices as a witness between me and you; surely
He is Aware of His servants, Seeing.
[17.97] And whomsoever Allah guides, he is the follower of the
right way, and whomsoever He causes to err, you shall not find for him
guardians besides Him; and We will gather them together on the day of
resurrection on their faces, blind and dumb and deaf; their abode is hell;
whenever it becomes allayed We will add to their burning. [Allah deliberately causes people to sin, then sends them to
hell for sinning!]
[17.98] This is their retribution because they disbelieved in Our
communications and said What! when we shall have become bones and decayed
particles, shall we then indeed be raised up into a new creation?
[17.99] Do they not consider that Allah, Who created the heavens
and the earth, is able to create their like, and He has appointed for them a
doom about which there is no doubt? But the unjust do not consent to aught
but denying.
[17.100] Say: If you control the treasures of the mercy of my Lord,
then you would withhold (them) from fear of spending, and man is niggardly.
[17.101] And certainly We gave Musa nine clear signs; so ask the
children of Israel. When he came to them, Firon said to him: Most surely I
deem you, O Musa, to be a man deprived of reason.
[17.102] He said: Truly you know that none but the Lord of the
heavens and the earth has sent down these as clear proof and most surely I
believe you, O Firon, to be given over to perdition.
[17.103] So he desired to destroy them out of the earth, but We
drowned him and those with him all together;
[17.104] And We said to the Israelites after him: Dwell in the
land: and when the promise of the next life shall come to pass, we will bring
you both together in judgment.
[17.105] And with truth have We revealed it, and with truth did it
come; and We have not sent you but as the giver of good news and as a warner.
[17.106] And it is a Quran which We have revealed in portions so
that you may read it to the people by slow degrees, and We have revealed it,
revealing in portions.
[17.107] Say: Believe in it or believe not; surely those who are
given the knowledge before it fall down on their faces, making obeisance when
it is recited to them.
[17.108] And they say: Glory be to our Lord! most surely the
promise of our Lord was to be fulfilled.
[17.109] And they fall down on their faces weeping, and it adds to
their humility.
[17.110] Say: Call upon Allah or call upon, the Beneficent [Allah];
whichever you call upon, He has the best names; and do not utter your prayer
with a very raised voice nor be silent with regard to it, and seek a way
between these.
[17.111] And say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Who has not
taken a son and Who has not a partner in the kingdom, and Who
has not a helper to save Him from disgrace; and proclaim His greatness
magnifying (Him).
This is what HaShem says to Allah:
“How did you come to fall from the heavens, morning star, son of the dawn?
How did you come to be cut to the ground, conqueror of nations? You thought
to yourself, ‘I will scale the heavens, I will raise my throne above G-d’s
stars. I will sit on the Mount of the Assembly far away in the north. I
will rise past the tops of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most
High.’ Instead you are brought down to Sh'ol, to the uttermost depths of
the pit.” [Yesha'yahu (Isaiah) 14: 12-15]
