1. What does Allah mean? Where is the word Allah come from? Since when? Was this word used before the arrival of Islam?
2. What made God (Allah) choose 40-year-old Mohammad as His last messenger? And what made Allah call Mohammad the best human he ever created we should follow? Can you give us four examples for each of these two questions?
3. The Holy Koran was started revealing when Mohammad was 40 years of age. So, what was the religion of Mohammad before that?
4. According to Islam, there is no God but Allah. He has no appearance and He is unique. Don%u2019t you believe it as Muslims? Now tell us why there are hundreds of words like %u201CWe%u201D and %u201CUs%u201D in the Koran. Does another God exit beside Allah, is that what Allah wants to tell us in His book?
5. Who successfully took over to write Allah%u2019s gifted messages on papers or something else for 23 years travelling everywhere (even in war fields) with Mohammad?
6. Didn%u2019t Mohammad have an official conversation with Allah? What type of voice did he hear from Allah? Was it a male or female voice?
7. Does Allah authorise equal rights to every human being? If yes, can you give us five examples from the Koran?
8. Why did Allah suddenly decide to send His messengers some 1400 to 2000 years ago after millions of years of earth%u2019s evolution? And what makes Allah be silent after that forever?
9. What made Allah particularly choose the desert area to pick undereducated people as H

Answer: 1-%u201CAllah%u201D means one God.This term was used for describing %u201COne God%u201D even before Islam.Jesus Christ used to speak in Hebrew, and used to call God as %u201CIlahi%u201D which sounds so close to %u201CAllah%u201D and means the same i.e. One God. 2-What made God to chose Prophet Muhammed to be the last messenger can be best answered by God Himslef.for example what your wife chose you as husband, who can answer it best?Muhammed was a pious man before he was made God%u2019s messenger and was considered a trustworthy person in his city.People used to call him %u201CAmeen%u201D, in Arabic it means %u201Ctrustworthy%u201D.So he had certain great qualities about him before he was chosen as the messenger. 3-Holy Quran started on the messenger from age of 40yrs.before that the Prophet was just a good person with no religion as such.he used to dislike idol worshipping right from beginning and used to go to one cave called %u201CHiraa%u201D cave to sit calmly and spend time in deep thinking and pondering. 4- According to Islam there is no God but one God and He has all the good properties and characters. In Surah hashr verse 24, Quraan mentions,%u201D He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names . All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise%u201D. All the good names (e.g. merciful,creator,Just,noble etc) are the names of one God i.e. Allah. 5-many of the prophets accompanying Him used to write down the messages of Quraan as they u

"Beware of false prophets who come to you disguised as sheep but underneath are ravenous wolves. You will be able to tell them by their fruits. Can people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? In the same way, a sound tree produces good fruit but a rotten tree bad fruit. A sound tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a rotten tree bear good fruit. Any tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown on the fire. I repeat, you will be able to tell them by their fruits. (Mat.7:15-20).
ALSO READ; In Sura "The Women (An-Nissaa)", 171 it says: "People of the Writings. Do not exaggerate in your religion. Don't say about God but the truth: that the anointed, Jesus, son of Mary, is the only sent one of God and his Word, that He has communicated to Mary and a spirit that comes from Him. Believe, so, in God and His sent ones."
The Quoran declares that Jesus Christ is the Word of God and the Spirit of Him. So the Word of God and His spirit exist with and in God from eternity and neither His Word nor His Spirit have a beginning or an end. So then, Jesus must be God. This truth confirms waht John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God".
The second thing that I discovered has to do with the Bible being perfect. In spite of everything that the Quoran says about the Bible being corrupted, I found that the Quoran orders that each Muslim should believe in the Bible. It says, "Say: People of the Writing do not do anythi

5-many of the prophets accompanying Him used to write down the messages of Quraan as they used to be revealed on the prophet. They used to write it on paper.Paper was present in those times toi Arabs for writing.Many of the prophet%u2019s companion had by-hearted the Quraan and used to recite it aloud in front of the prophet several times in a year.Quraan was written in its final form in osman%u2019s (Prophet%u2019s son-in-law) caliphate in five copies, and those copies are preserved till this date (You can findOriginal copies ; one in Tashkent, Uzbekistan; the other in Istanbul, Turkey. ) Sir William Muir, wrote: "There is probably in the world no other book which has remained 12 (now 14) centuries with so pure a text," (Life of Muhammad, Haykal). So not a single word from Quran could be changed since the prophets time, as even now millions of Muslims have Quraan by hearted and it is read five time in daily prayers!!!! Many scientific facts, unknown to man 1400 years ago, were revealed in the Quran. Each of them is proven to be scientifically correct (a few examples: %uF0D8 The 'Big Bang' theory of Creation of the Universe %uF0D8 Planets and orbital patterns of the Cosmos %uF0D8 Conception and stages of embryological growth (%u2018The Developing Human%u2019, Prof. Keith Moore, Uni. of Toronto) %uF0D8 Reference to fingerprints
6-Prophet Muhammed NEVER had an official conversation with Allah.Only one prophet had this opportunity and that was prophet Moses.

Besides Christianity, Islam is the only religion on earth that accepts the miraculous birth of Jesus. Jesus is mentioned 25 times in the Quran. The facts MUSLIMS Follow which is actually also mentioned in Bible and Torah but the Christians and Jews Do NOT Follow!!!..... The Highest Honor of Women is Given to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, in the Quran (chapter #19). Monotheism: Torah: %u201CI am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God%u201D (Isaiah 44:6); Bible: %u201CThe Lord our God is one Lord%u201D (Mark 12:29); Quran: %u201CHe is God, The One and Only%u201D (Quran 112:1). Pork Forbidden: God ordered Moses: %u201CAnd the swine is unclean to you%u2026%u201D(Leviticus 11:7). Jesus never ate pork in his life. Muslims never eat pork. Wine Drinking Prohibited: %u201C%u2026drink neither wine nor strong drink%u2026%u201D(Luke 1:15). Muslims do not drink wine or alcohol ever. Usury / Interest Forbidden: %u201CTake thou no usury%u2026%u201D (Leviticus). %u201CHe has put not out his money to usury.%u201D (Psalms 15:5). Interest is forbidden in Islam. 9-What made Allah particularly chose desert of Aatabia for Islam?well again ony Allah can give a correct answer.However , since numerous prophets were already sent to all the parts of the world except this deset of Arabia, it was logical to send at least one last prophet there so that they don%u2019t complain in the day of Judegement of not having a prophet for their guidance!!

7-Allah has given Equal rights to men and women .see Quraan chapter2verse 228 %u201CAnd they (women) have rights similar (to those of their husbands) over them%u201D There four more places where rights of orphans and poor are mentioned.I shall mention the verse numbers you can read it from Quraan.These are just five examples, there hundreds of places in Quraan where justice,rights and equalities are discussed. The Four more examples are..Sura Al-Israh verse28,Surah Al-Mtaffifeen verse1,Surah Al-Nisa verse1,Surah AlNisa verse86,Surah Al-Baqarah verse 178 8-Allah did not suddenly about sending the Prophet.Before Muhammed several Prophets were sent to mankind,Those mentioned in Quraan prominently are,Jesus Christ,Moses,Solomon,David,Joseph,Yohanna,Zakariyya,Shoeb,Khizr,Noah,Abrahim,Ishmael,Yaqub(Israel),haroon,etc etc. In fact it is now believed that even Hinduism was actually from the One God i.e. Allah but later its teachings were changed and disfigured. Verse 5 of Bhavishya Puran:%u201C%u2026His name will be Mahamad%u2026 Mahadev Arab%u2026 'O Ye! The pride of mankind, the dweller in Arabia.%u201C%u2026 (Prati Sarg Parv III). Sama Veda, II, 6, 8: "Ahmad acquired religious law from his Lord. This law of religion is full of wisdom." God said to Moses, "I will raise up a Prophet%u2026 like unto thee. I will put my words in his mouth, & he shall speak them all...%u201D (Deuteronomy18:18) Muslims believe and accept all the Prophets mentioned in the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran. Besides Christianity, Islam is the onl
