The Pagan Origins of Christianity

 

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are typically grouped together under the same umbrella of “Abrahamic religion”. This video is going to show that far from being a religion in the monotheistic lineage of Abraham, Christianity in fact has its origin in pagan cults.

Al-Qur'an 21: 83 to 84

And [mention] Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, adversity has touched me, and You are the most merciful of the merciful."

So We responded to him and removed what afflicted him of adversity. And We gave him [back] his family and the like thereof with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for the worshippers [of Allah].

The Poem that made Imam Ahmad cry

If my Lord asks me, "Have you shyness in disobeying me?

You conceal your sins from my creation - and with sins you come to me."

So how will I answer? O woe to me - and who shall protect me?

I keep averting my soul with thoughts of hope - from time to time.

And I forget what is to come after death - and what is to come after I am shrouded.

As if I am guaranteed life (eternally) - and that death will not come to me.

And when the severe stupor of death overtakes me - who will protect me?

I looked at the faces; is there not from amongst them who will ransom me?

I will be asked regarding what I have prepared in my life to save me (on the Day of Judgement).

Then how will I answer - after I have neglected my religion.

Woe to me! Did I not hear the Speech of Allāh inviting me?

Did I not hear what came in (the chapters of) Qāf and Yā-Sīn?

Did I not hear about the Day of Gathering, the Day of Assemble and the Day of Judgement?

Did I not hear the crier of death inviting me, calling me?

So O my Lord, a slave (turning to you) I have repented - so who then shall shelter me?

Except a Lord extensive in forgiveness - to the truth He will guide me.

I have come to you (in repentance) - so have mercy on me, and make heavy my scales (with good deeds).

And lighten my account - You are the best of who will bring me to account

Every Soul Must Taste Death

Death is a harsh and fearful reality faced by everyone who lives.No one has the power to avoid it, nor does anyone around the dying person have the ability to prevent it. It is something which happens every moment and is encountered by the old and the young,the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak. They are all the
same in that they have no plan or means of escaping it, no power, no means of intercession, no way to prevent it, nor to delay it, which shows that indeed it comes from One having tremendous power-so that the human is helpless in this regard and can only submit to it.

Indeed, when a loved one dies, the affair of death is given more attention and the world becomes tasteless for some time. This is the way it should be whether someone dies or not, in order that we may make more effort in preparing for the meeting with our Lord.
Buraidah reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “ I forbade you to visit the graves, but now visit them for that makes you mindful of the hereafter.” Narrated by Imams Ahmad and Al-Tirmithi, and the latter also declared it sahih (authentic).

And let us not be deceived by this worldly life and its glitter.

Allah says:

'O you who believe! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allaah. And whosoever does that, then they are the losers. And spend (in charity) of that with which We have provided you, before death comes to one of you and he says: "My Lord! If only You would give me respite for a little while (i.e.return to the worldly life), then I should give Sadaqah (i.e.Zakaat) of my wealth, and be among the righteous [i.e. perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah)]. And Allaah grants respite to none when his appointed time (death) comes. And Allaah is All-Aware of what you do.'
Qur'an 63:9-11 (Surat Al-Munāfiqūn)
