Jesus, peace be upon him, did not recognize original sin and did not establish anything other than what Islam and all the prophets before him had brought. Christ denied original sin by saying, " 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. " (John 15:22-24). The text does not speak of a mistake prior to his existence, but rather of a mistake the children of Israel made toward him: their disbelief in Christ. It makes no mention of inherited sin. According to the Bible, the Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, speaks to his Jewish disciples and other lost sheep of the Children of Israel The verse, "22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin means that had it not been for the coming of Christ and his teachings, their lack of knowledge of the truth and their living in error would have been acceptable. However, since he came and revealed the truth to them, their failure to accept it places them in a state of sin. 18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’ John 15:18-26 "16 Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin." (Deuteronomy 24:16). Even if others had a negative prior influence on a person, this does not negate that person's free will to make their final decision, good or evil. God creates good and evil based on our choices. Once we make a choice, the action itself is created by God independently. For example, when a person decides to raise their arm, God creates all the necessary muscle movements for that action to occur. Raising an arm can be to help someone or to harm them; this decision is made by the person. أسلم فأسلموا: داعية فلبيني يقود قبيلته إلى النور https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyH-brMrUk4 المدفع العثماني الذي أرعب العالم ودمّر أسوار القسطنطينية https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VxWdojQqTQ خلعتني زوجتي لأنني أسلمت أما إبني فلقد خذلني https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rew5mOY_Mho

The Injīl is a book revealed by Allāh (Glory be to Him), like the Qur'ān, and the Tawrāt (Torah) - it is His Speech, not the word of a man. While it is possible that in some form, certain statements from the Injīl have survived in the "New Testament", as a whole, the Injīl is lost. The Gospels of the Christian "New Testament" are accounts of the life of 'Īsā ibn Maryam (Jesus, the son of Mary) (peace be upon him), which (purportedly) record some of his travels, statements, and acts. They are books of history written by men. The remainder of the "New Testament" consists of the Acts of the Apostles (another historical work), epistles attributed to early Christian leaders (especially Paul), and the Book of Revelation, attributed to John. By the standards of historical criticism identified and employed by our scholars traditionally (and I believe any person of fair mind must admit these principles are sound), these works are all of dubious authenticity. Jesus (peace be upon him) was given the gospel, and we are told he was preaching it. Just like the prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was given the Qur'an. There are some differences, for example in the case of Jesus (peace be upon him) it was only the last reminder to the Jews, which you can consider more like a final update for the covenant of the Jews, in modern terms. Meanwhile the Quran is a new revelation, one that is meant for the entire world until the last day. If you pay attention however, you will notice that the gospel that was given to Jesus is not actually in the Bible. People speak of Jesus in the new testament, it is a collection of rumours and 2nd or 3rd hand accounts collected and compiled into biographies by people who never met him, plus some other stuff like letters from Paul. Nowhere in the Bible will you actually find the verbatim words of Jesus, that he claims were given to him by God, which is preserved and can be differentiated from regular human speech like with the Qur'an. In fact, so many forgeries, additions, and errors have been discovered in Bibles that millions of believers used to read that they keep having to release new updates as older and presumably more reliable manuscripts are found. Does that sound like the word of God given to a prophet? Of course not. We don't actually have access to the Injeel anymore, even if some of it made it into the bible, we have no way of knowing which parts those would be. شبان من خلفية علمية يسألون مسلم! عباس وزوار ركن المتحدثين الخطباء https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFwlUeHqsXc رحلتي من السحر إلى الإسلام - فتاة بريطانية تركت السحر وأسلمت https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdU2n6UyPx4 نساء بريطانيات يرتع_شن من هذا المسلم بعد هشّمهم هاشم Speakers Corner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpTuI6buJOY

The Concept of Original Sin in Christianity The concept of original sin simply does not exist in Islam, and never has. For the Christian readers, the question is not whether the concept of original sin exists in present day, but whether it existed during the period of Christian origins. Specifically, did Jesus teach it? Apparently not. Whoever dreamt up the concept, it certainly wasn’t Jesus, for he reportedly taught, “Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19:14). We may well wonder how “for of such” could be “the kingdom of heaven” if the unbaptized are hell?bound. Children are either born with original sin or are bound for the kingdom of heaven. The church can’t have it both ways. Ezekiel 18:20 records, “The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.” The Islamic View of Sin: Not Inherited, But Earned Deuteronomy 24:16 repeats the point. The objection may be raised that this is Old Testament, but it’s not older than Adam! If original sin dated from Adam and Eve, one wouldn’t find it disavowed in any scripture of any age! Islam teaches that each person is born in a state of spiritual purity, but upbringing and the allure of worldly pleasures may corrupt us. Nonetheless, sins are not inherited and, for that matter, not even Adam and Eve will be punished for their sins, for God has forgiven them. And how can humankind inherit something that no longer exists? No, Islamically speaking, all of us will be judged according to our deeds, for “man can have nothing but what he strives for” (TMQ 53:38–39), and “Who receives guidance, receives it for his own benefit: who goes astray does so to his own loss: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another . . .” (TMQ 17:15). Each person will bear responsibility for his or her actions, but no infant goes to hell for being unbaptized and burdened with sin as a birthright—or should we say a birthwrong? assuming it was a sin, let us assume, for the sake of argument it was a sin, why should we be held responsible for it? If your grandfather killed somebody, is it okay for somebody to take you to court and say your grandfather killed somebody, you are liable for that? Is that compatible with God's Justice? Islam says this is not compatible with God Justice. 'Wa la taziru waziratun wizra ukhra' (39:7) The Qur'an is very clear. You are responsible for what you do, not what your dad did, your mom did, your grandparents did. Let us say Adam and Eve committed a sin. Why should their children and descendants and all of humanity inherit the sin? It does not make sense. Why? Why is humanity being held liable and responsible for something they did not commit? Something their grandparents committed?

\\\\\\\\\\ The calendar year of Islam begins not with the birthday of our prophet (peace be upon him) not from the time that the revelation came to him (Bethat) nor from the time of his ascension to heaven, but with the migration (Hijra) from an undesirable environment into a desirable place to fulfill Allah's command. It was migration from a plot that was set by the leaders of the Quraysh who were plotting to kill prophet Muhammad, and to destroy the truth that today is being conveyed to mankind everywhere against tyranny and injustice. Their purpose was to destroy the foundation of the Islamic state, the Sunnah of the tradition of the prophet, and to prevent the revelation being delivered by Allah's messenger to mankind. The Islamic calendar is reckoned from the time of migration (Hijra) of Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) from Mecca to Madina. The Prophet's decision to migrate from Mecca came after several years of inhuman treatment of the faithful by the powerful tribes who were united despite all their feuds to stop the spread of Islam. Prophet Mohammad's decision to leave Mecca coincided with the infidel's plan to assassinate him. In 622 AD, the Quresh tribesmen held a meeting and decided that a band of young men, one from each tribe, should assassinate Prophet Mohammad collectively so that their responsibility for the murder could not be placed on any particular tribe. On the eventful night, the Prophet asked his cousin Ali Ben Abutalib to take his place in bed to make the Meccans think that he was asleep. The Prophet himself slipped out unobserved alongwith his loyal follower Abu Bakr (who was chosen as the first C aliph after the death of the prophet). They secretly made their way to a cave named Thawr, not far from Mecca and lay in hiding there for a day or two until Abu Bakr's son reported that the search for him had been given up. Then the two set out from Madina on camel back. They reached Quba, on the edge of the Madina oasis, on 12th Rabiul Awwal. With Mohammad's arrival in Quba a new phase of his career and glory of Islam started. This migration has a special significance in the history of Islam. It ended the Meccan period of humiliation and torture and began the era of success. His own people to whom he preached Islam for 13 years neglected the Prophet of Islam. But he was cordially received in Madina as an honored chief. In Madina his power enhanced day by day. Here he was not only the religious leader but took the role of a politician and statesman too. Prophet Mohammad expired ten years after his migration to Madina but only in one decade he changed the course of human history. In view of this special significance of the Prophet's migration the consultative body advised the Second Islamic Caliph, Omar ben Khattab, to start the Islamic year from the date of migration of the Prophet from Mecca to Madina. According to early Moslem scholars, Abu Musa Al Shari drew attention of Omar to an improperly dated debenture or IOU which was payable in the month of Shaban but it was not clear which Shaban was actually meant, the present one or the coming one. Omar called the dignitaries for consultation who made several suggestions to begin the Islamic calendar. Ali (who later became the fourth caliph) suggested the Hijra as the beginning of the Islamic year with Moharram as its first month. Consequently, Caliph Omar in 21 A.H. or 641 A.D introduced the Islamic calendar in its present form. QURANIC GUIDANCE The guidance about the Islamic calendar is taken from the following verses from the Holy Quran: (In the name of GOD most gracious and most merciful) "Lo the number of the months with God is twelve months." IX:36. "They ask thee, of new moons. Say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage." II:189. "He it is who appointed the sun a splendor and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning." X:5 The Islamic Calendar of 12 Lunar Months is determined by observation of the new moon with no effort by intercalation (addition) or other means to synchronize the Lunar year with the Solar year.

The truth is that Christians leave the clear verses that confirm the non-divinity of Christ And they cling to the verses that are examples and evidence that he is a prophet and not a god Unfortunately, Christians do not follow the true words of Christ 62 “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”" (Mark 14:62). Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me, 68 and if I asked you, you would not answer. 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.” Luke mentioned God and Jesus beside him. The Son of Man, as is commonly said in the Gospels, is Jesus. The Power here is "God". So Jesus will sit (according to the text) at the right hand of God. So God and Jesus are two, since Jesus will be at the right hand of God. This proves the invalidity of the Trinity and the Incarnation. And it proves that God is (the father) alone And Jesus the son of God is metaphorical and is not equal to God (the Father) in his abilities Note that the dialogue in the Gospel of Luke is completely different from the Gospel of Matthew and Mark, in addition to the absence of any dialogue like this in the Gospel of John! مسلم يصدم نصرانيًا صدمة العمر ويقلب عليه الطاولة ما تسبب في إسلامه https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9txEsdE6Qv4 غير مسلمين يشاهدون فيديو عن عظمة المرأة في الإسلام https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4-AHPDrPvA ارادت ان تنتقد القرآن بلا فكر فحدث هذا | منصور ومجموعة من النصاري في ركن المتحثين |الدعوة بالعربية https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoDJmc3EUEc

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Some Christians claim that pigs are not forbidden in Christianity, and they deduce this with flimsy evidence It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.” ((Matthew 15:11 ►) In fact, this saying has nothing to do with banning pigs or not, but rather as part of a response to the Jews when they reproached the disciples of Jesus for not washing their hands before eating. On the contrary, the intention of the Lord Christ with his words is to show that moral impurity is far more dangerous than physical impurity. ” Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.” “Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.” Matthew 15:11-20 1. Pork prohibited in Qur’an The Qur’an prohibits the consumption of pork in no less than 4 different places. It is prohibited in 2:173, 5:3, 6:145 and 16:115. “Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.” [Al-Qur’an 5:3] The above verses of the Holy Qur’an are sufficient to satisfy a Muslim as to why pork is forbidden. 2. Pork prohibited in the Bible The Christian is likely to be convinced by his religious scriptures. The Bible prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus “And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you”. “Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch, they are unclean to you.” [Leviticus 11:7-8] Pork is also prohibited in the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy “And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you The laws of God are one from Adam to Muhammad, peace be upon them the worship of the One God (the Father) and not of a human being or an idol or anything you can imagine and Prohibition of fornication, alcohol and pork كنت أسرق وأرهب الناس ولكن الإسلام أنقذني من هذه الحياة https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VzaZbssAnM Dr Zakir Naik proved that having Pork is prohibited haraam in Islam as well as in Christianity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRRaKeis4xI لماذا ناقض بولس التلاميذ في قوانين الطعام والشريعة؟ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK05DixSlOo

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ What happens in these days? the Hajj, the 5th pillar of Islam, the whole rituals are about the works performed by Abraham and his family and Muslims emulate these actions in remembrance of Abraham, the friend of Allah. anything other than Allah, is strictly prohibited in Islam. Muslims don't worship the moon, the sun, cows, Bhuddha They do not worship the Kaaba or the Black Stone. or Jesus or Muhammad Muslims worship God who created everything. Allah forbids us from worshiping anything else (e.g. statues, the sun, moon, Jinn , Angels ,saints, priests or even Prophets). He does not need any partners or intermediaries. Everyone can always worship God .directly. A single verse in the Quran is enough to strongly refute this claim. Anyone who believes in this claim (the Moon God) is only embarrassing themselves. Quran (41:37) " And of His signs are day and night, the sun and moon. Do not prostrate to the sun and moon, but prostate to Allah, who created them if it should be Him that you worship". This verse explains that in Islam, the prostration is the right of the Creator only and therefore, we should not prostrate to any creature . Abridged Explanation of the Quran From the signs of Allah that point towards His greatness and oneness is the night and the day in their coming after one another, and the sun and moon. O people! Do not prostrate to the sun nor the moon; rather, prostrate to Allah alone who created them all, if you truly do worship Him.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ illogical and emotional words more than realism, Only in your own spiritual way will everyone remain on the path of darkness and falsehood Without right religious books, everyone will follow their whims - Buddhists believe that Buddha is the Son of God, the Savior of humanity from its tragedies and pains, and that He bears their sins for them. Hinduism is considered a polytheistic religion, as it recognizes the existence of about 330 million gods, but there is only one god above these gods, which is the Brahma Christianity worships the Prophet Jesus Christ as God or the Son of God, and He is the Savior of humanity from its tragedies and pains, and that He bears their sins for them. The Jews worship God, but with attributes that are not worthy of God’s greatness, and they say that Uzair is the son of God. They are all spiritual and do not care about their books, so do we know who is the true God or the true religion through them? Your words are wrong, they refute the truth and plunge people into misguidance There must be correct scientific and historical evidence for religious books, then spirituality comes on a disciplined basis after knowing the true God It is not just an illusory spirituality that depends on the whims and desires of humans, and everyone does what they like and worships what they like As I said before, spirituality is not enough to understand the Bible And the words of the Prophet Isa, peace be upon him Because in your book there are verses that contradict each other And change, scrape and delete This can never be the book of God Christ cannot command wine, usury, gambling, fornication, swine, incest, and the fornication of the prophets. So I don't care about some verses without others And pay attention to the context of the verses and the whole story, I am interested in studying the whole Bible with the mentality of neutral Christian scholars And the mentality of the Muslim who has the Qur’an, which has not changed since 1400 years, Because the Qur’an is the dominant and dominant over the previous books to correct them The Qur’an is not the same as the Bible There is no comparison at all The Qur’an has no problems, accusations, falsehoods and suspicions without real and impartial scientific study https://www.facebook.com/100025016799487/videos/270531622094776 محمد علي و يهودي يسأل عن الاسلام و يعتقد انه يعلم كل شئ #اسلام https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftpU7RqjcLo&t=1178s سؤال فتاة بريطانية عن الحجاب يقودها إلى الإسلام https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8IIPEZXXjE

\\\\\\\\\\\\ *****(The crucifixion of Christ is pure fantasy) %%%% ( C ) ------------------------- In the Holy Qur’an, God denied the crucifixion of Christ: Surah an-Nisa' 157. And for their saying, “We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.” In fact, they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Those who differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except the following of assumptions. They certainly did not kill him. 158. But Allah raised him up to Himself. Allah is Mighty and Wise. Islam says: (Jesus, peace be upon him, was neither killed nor crucified) ----- The most common belief among Christians is that Jesus was crucified and died. But the question is: Who said that Jesus was crucified and died, and that this actually happened? In fact, when we look at the verses that Christians use to prove this belief, we find that 95% of these verses are from Paul's letters. The verses used to prove this belief are very few from the Gospels, which raises a question mark about their source. And whether Jesus really said that he would die on the cross? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Let us examine together and examine this compelling evidence that their belief contradicts the Bible: 5-- Christ was not crucified This statement in the Bible is sufficient to prove that he was not crucified. In order for him to be crucified, thick iron nails had to be driven through his hands and feet. This never happened to Jesus, peace be upon him. Not a single bone of Jesus's was broken. A. In John 19:36: 36 "For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken." --- 6. Before Jesus' crucifixion, peace be upon him, God saved him, and he fled and disappeared from their midst. A. In John 8:59: 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. ----- B. In John 10:39: "Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp. ------- 7-- This is another compelling proof of the ascension of Christ while he was alive. God raised Christ, peace be upon him, to heaven. He protected him from the plots and scheming of the Jews, so they could not crucify him. In Acts 1:10-11: 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” .” ------------------------ This is exactly what the Messenger of allah mohammed, peace be upon him, said: (But at that very moment God will send the Messiah son of Mary who will descend at the white minaret in the east of Damascus wearing two garments dyed with saffron and placing his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, it will drip and when he raises it beads like pearls will scatter from it. ) , Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “By Allah, the son of Mary will descend as a just ruler. He will abolish the cross, kill the swine, and annul the tribute, but he will leave the she-camel such that no one collects from it. He will cause rancor, hatred, and envy to disappear, and he will call people to give their wealth in charity but no one will need it.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 155 ---- This is a resounding slap in the face to all who claim that Christ was crucified. I ask every Christian to carefully study your Bible. And do not believe the lies of the Church about Christ. Because the remaining authentic verses in the Bible are the ones that agree with the Qur'an and contradict the myths of the priests and refute them. Look with me at what God says about you in the Holy Qur'an: (((((82. You will find the most hostile towards the believers to be the Jews and those who associate. And you will find the nearest in affection towards the believers to be those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and pastors, and they are not arrogant. 83. And when they hear what was revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears, because of the truth they recognize. They say, “Our Lord, we have believed, so count us among the witnesses.”.") O Allah, guide Your lost servants.

He was severely wounded from the torture. Here He reassured her that He had not died and was merely hiding. (John 20:17): (Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father..) ------- C— Jesus entered upon his disciples, and they were terrified of him and thought he had died. He said to them, "Whoever enters upon them is a spirit, for a spirit does not eat or drink." He reassured them, and had them touch him, and ate some of their food with them. ((Luke 24:39-43)): ( 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” 40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.) -------- 4—This is conclusive evidence of Christ's ascension, which is Living (John 20:17): (Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God..") ------------ (Psalm 91) 8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. 9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, 10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” ------------------ This is a resounding slap in the face to all who claim that Christ was crucified.

Look with me at what God says about you in the Holy Qur'an: (((82. You will find the most hostile towards the believers to be the Jews and those who associate. And you will find the nearest in affection towards the believers to be those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and pastors, and they are not arrogant. 83. And when they hear what was revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears, because of the truth they recognize. They say, “Our Lord, we have believed, so count us among the witnesses.”.") O Allah, guide Your lost servants.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ *****(The crucifixion of Christ is pure fantasy) %%%% (A) ---- In the Holy Qur’an, God denied the crucifixion of Christ: Surah an-Nisa' 157. And for their saying, “We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.” In fact, they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Those who differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except the following of assumptions. They certainly did not kill him. 158. But Allah raised him up to Himself. Allah is Mighty and Wise. Islam says: (Jesus, peace be upon him, was neither killed nor crucified) ---- The most common belief among Christians is that Jesus was crucified and died. But the question is: Who said that Jesus was crucified and died, and that this actually happened? In fact, when we look at the verses that Christians use to prove this belief, we find that 95% of these verses are from Paul's letters. The verses used to prove this belief are very few from the Gospels, which raises a question mark about their source. And whether Jesus really said that he would die on the cross? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let us examine together and examine this compelling evidence of the contradiction between their beliefs and the Bible: 1 - At the moment of the Roman soldiers' approaching crucifixion, Christ withdrew to himself in the Garden of Gethsemane and prayed to God the Father. He called upon Him and begged Him to save him from this ordeal. From this, we can see that crucifixion was not the true purpose of Christ's presence on earth. Otherwise, He would have surrendered to crucifixion without resistance or seeking God's help. (Luke 22:42😞 (“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me.”") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 - None of Christ's followers were present at Christ's crucifixion, except for a few women. In fact, some accounts in the Gospels cast doubt on their presence there. This doubt comes from Christian scholars themselves, based on the testimony of witnesses. So what does it tell us? They can't even agree on what Jesus was wearing, drinking, doing, or saying at the time of the crucifixion. Matthew 27:28 tells us: The Roman soldiers dressed Jesus in a scarlet robe. (They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him..) John 19:2 says: (and dressed Him in a purple robe.) ------------ Matthew 27:34 says: (The Romans gave Jesus sour wine mixed with gall.) Mark 15:23 says: (It was mixed with myrrh.) ---- Mark 15:25 tells us: (Jesus was crucified before the third hour.) But John 19:14-15 says: It was about the sixth hour. ------------- Luke 23:46 says that Jesus' last words were "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." But John 19:30 says they were "It is finished!" Now, wait a minute. Jesus's righteous followers would have clung to his every word in his final days. On the other hand, Mark 14:50 tells us that all the disciples left Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Look with me at what God says about you in the Holy Qur'an: (((82.

(John 1:14) We must note - first of all - that these words mentioned in the Gospel of John are not the words of “Christ,” but rather the words of “John.” Christ did not say such words at all. Christ never said that He was the Word With extensive study and knowledge, we will find that they are the words of a Jewish person named (Philo of Alexandria) (20 BC - 40 AD) who lived in the Hellenistic era in Alexandria. He was a philosopher and thinker who was influenced by Greek philosophy. It is known that John wrote his Gospel after the death of Philo and borrowed the term from him.the Word Then if the Word is God and the Word became flesh, this means God becoming flesh, and this is a change in God, and their book says 6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.

Id al-Fitr On the first day of the following month, after another new moon has been sighted, a special celebration is made, called ‘Id al-Fitr. A quantity of staple food is donated to the poor (Zakat al-Fitr), Zakaah is one of the pillars of Islam which Allah, may He be exalted, has enjoined upon the rich Muslims so as to achieve a kind of social security, solidarity and financing some common interests, Allah, may He be exalted, has mentioned it alongside prayer in more than one verse of the Qur’an, which confirms its importance. The fact that it is obligatory is proven according to the Qur’an, Sunnah and scholarly consensus. There is consensus among Muslim scholars that it is mandatory on every believer who is financially able. Whoever knowingly denies this obligation, while he possesses the minimum amount, would be considered a disbeliever Whoever is stingy, or tries to cheat, is considered among the wrongdoers. everyone has bathed and put on their best, preferably new, clothes, and communal prayers are held in the early morning, followed by feasting and visiting relatives and friends. There are other fast days throughout the year. Muslims are encouraged to fast six days in Shawwal, the month following Ramadan, Mondays and Thursdays, and the ninth and tenth, or tenth and eleventh of Muharram, the first month of the year. The tenth day, called Ashurah, is also a fast day for the Jews (Yom Kippur), and Allah commanded the Muslims to fast two days to distinguish themselves from the People of the Book. While fasting per se is encouraged, constant fasting, as well as monasticism, celibacy, and otherwise retreating from the real world, are condemned in Islam. Fasting on the two festival days, ‘Id al-Fitr and ‘Id al-Adha, the feast of the Hajj, is strictly forbidden Only Islam made sense to me...

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Christ said 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. John 17:3 Christ did not claim divinity, God (the Father) alone. Christ confined divinity to the Father alone. He did not say that he was a God or that the Holy Spirit is a God. Christ did not say that you and I are gods. The God of the Abrahamic religions is one god. Judaism, Christianity, and the Quran are messages from God. Judaism and Christianity have been distorted. And violated the teachings of the Prophet Moses and the Prophet Jesus, peace be upon them. We see that the Bible contains the words of God and the words of men. God revealed the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad to correct the previous books. The Quran, the final message to humanity. It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed: By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad, he who amongst the community of Jews or Christians hears about me, but does not affirm his belief in that with which I have been sent and dies in this state (of disbelief), he shall be but one of the denizens of Hell-Fire.

4-What is Laylat al-Qadr? Allah (SWT) has bestowed special significance upon the month of Ramadan by designating Laylat-al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, within it. The Quran states: “Indeed, it is We Who sent this Quran down on the Night of Qadr. And what will make you realise what the Night of Qadr is? The Night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the Rooh [Jibreel (Gabriel)] by Allah’s Permission with all Decrees, there is peace until the appearance of dawn.” [Al-Qadr 97:1-5] Laylat al-Qadr, meaning ‘the night of decree’ in Arabic, signifies when the Holy Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon him Laylat al-Qadr is one of the most sacred nights on the Islamic calendar. It occurs only during Ramadan and lasts one night from sunset to sunrise. This divine night falls sometime during the last ten nights of Ramadan. When is Laylat al-Qadr? When does it happen during Ramadan? There is never a definite date for when Laylat al-Qadr occurs, but it is believed to fall during an odd-numbered night during the last 10 nights of Ramadan, with the odd-numbered nights being measured from the holy month's starting night. What is the significance of Laylat al-Qadr? On the night of Laylat al-Qadr, the holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad through angel Gabriel. The Quran is the direct word of God and contains moral code, spiritual guidance, and prophetic hadiths. In the Quran Laylat al-Qadr, Worship in it is better than a thousand months — any acts of worship performed on this night carry greater reward than on any other day. Qadr, in Arabic, literally translates to ‘destiny’ or ‘decree.’ It is believed that Muslims can change their fate and what was written for them by God through prayer and supplication. How do Muslims worship during the last 10 nights of Ramadan? Because we will never know when Laylat al-Qadr occurs during the last 10 nights, Muslims are encouraged to take advantage of each night during the final one-third of Ramadan. The last 10 nights are said to be overflowing with God’s mercy and forgiveness. Everyday Ramadan rituals remain, such as fasting, reading the Quran, and taraweeh (special Ramadan night prayers). Muslims will focus on repentance and spend entire nights worshipping instead of sleeping. Muslims also perform i’tikaf during these last 10 nights, which is the act of spending days and nights in a mosque to perform devout worship. Generosity is heavily encouraged during the last 10 nights. This is called sadaqah, or voluntary charity, and can be in many forms, such as feeding someone a meal, donating to charity, performing a good deed, or doing an act of kindness.

What are some cultural and social traditions associated with Ramadan? Many social rituals center on gathering and socializing after the daily fast. Some Muslims decorate their homes, put out Ramadan-themed tableware and centerpieces or throng to markets and Ramadan bazaars. Colorful lanterns, in different shapes and sizes, dangle from children’s hands and adorn homes or the entrances of buildings and stores. In various regions, some Muslims worry that the month is being commercialized, and that an emphasis on decorations, TV shows, outings or lavish iftar banquets, especially in the social media era, can detract from Ramadan’s religious essence. Others feel that a balance can be struck and that, done in moderation, such rituals are part of the month’s festive spirit. In the United States, home to a diverse, small but growing Muslim population, gathering at mosques and Islamic centers when possible for iftar meals and prayers provides many Muslim families with a sense of community. Some Muslims also organize or attend interfaith iftar meals. شاب هندوسي يريد أن يعتنق الإسلام/ د.ذاكر نايك وإجابة رائعة/ محاضرة رمضان (جزء 5) / Dr.Zakir Naik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU50h3HuZZw Fasting in Quran and Bible | Sh.

Are there exemptions from fasting? Yes. There are certain exemptions from fasting, such as for those who are unable to because of illness or travel. Those unable to fast due to being temporarily ill or traveling need to make up for the missed days of fasting later. Young children, the elderly, and menstruating, pregnant and breastfeeding women are also exempted. It is recommended not to do anything that could cause the fast to be broken, however, some cases that cause the fast to be broken do not necessarily invalidate it, such as drinking or eating mechanically, forgetting that one is supposed to be fasting. As for the case of breaking the fast without an excuse, the person must compensate for his mistake by fasting one day for each day he did not fast, Or to fulfill the needs of those in need through charity. Ramadan this year comes as the Middle East remains inflamed by the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with tens of thousands of Palestinians killed. Many in the blockaded territory are going hungry; particularly in the devastated north, people are scrambling for food to survive. Some Muslims are striving to remain mindful of the Palestinians’ plight during Ramadan, including through making donations, saying prayers or incorporating Palestinian traditional symbols in how they mark the holy month. There are numerous hadiths from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that emphasize the significance of Ramadan: 1. “Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and in hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” [Bukhari (38) and Muslim (759)] This hadith underscores the immense spiritual rewards and blessings associated with fasting during Ramadan. It serves as a means of seeking forgiveness for past sins and drawing closer to Allah through sincere faith and devotion. 2. “There has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month which Allah has enjoined you to fast, during which the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the rebellious devils are chained up. In it there is a night which is better than a thousand months, and whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived.” [Nasai, 2106; Ahmad, 8769] It emphasizes the importance of fasting during this sacred month, highlighting it as a time when the gates of heaven open, the gates of Hell close, and the influence of evil forces weakens.Furthermore, it highlights the significance of Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, describing it as better than a thousand months in terms of its spiritual value and rewards. **** ما فائدة شهر رمضان لغير المسلمين ؟؟!! https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid0yND2SSR6PxfyaiBoT9ELzM5sAKi9GWW5zbjEgRXUikb1P8vFHnwSTTvNWwYLroAUl&id=100059866625821 صدمة تحول المشاهير الأمريكيين إلى الإسلام خلال شهر رمضان https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsQFAlfzf5c&t=341s إحذر هذه الأفعال في رمضان!! د.ذاكر نايك الجزء الثالث Dr.Zakir Naik Ramadan Lecture part (3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqupE-p_kXw مفاجأة د.ذاكر نايك لمتابعيه /محاضرة رمضان (الجزء الرابع)/ Dr.Zakir Naik / Ramadan Lecture part (4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqghnmDv4hw

Unraveling Myths Through a Historical Lens In my narrative, "Imagining the Sun as a Celestial Being," I undertake an intellectual exploration of the sun's significance through a mythological and artistic lens. Throughout the essay, I emphasize my examination of the sun, drawing upon personal connection, imaginative contemplation, and historical context. Additionally, I touch upon my genuine appreciation for the sun's brilliance and enduring allure in human culture. In my creative interpretation of the sun, I draw inspiration from ancient myths, historical contexts, and cultural symbolism, expressing my understanding and emotions about the celestial body through my drawings and narrative. This form of interpretation allows me to establish a meaningful and imaginative connection with the subject matter, engrossing myself in a deeper engagement with the celestial entity. Myths have captivated human imagination for centuries, serving as vehicles for cultural expression, moral teachings, and explanations of natural phenomena. By approaching myths through a historical lens, historians can embark on a fascinating journey to unravel the truths and insights concealed within these captivating narratives. My personal journey of drawing the sun and envisioning the Greek artist allowed me to connect with the creative spirit of ancient times. It reminded me of the profound ways in which myths can touch our lives, encouraging us to explore the wonders of the cosmos and find our place within it. Within my depiction of the sun, I honored the historical and cultural heritage that inspired it. I paid homage to the remarkable contributions of ancient astronomers who skillfully made abstract notions of the sun relatable to ordinary people. Through their adept use of familiar language and imagery, these wise astronomers successfully bridged the gap between humanity and the vast cosmos, allowing us to grasp the awe-inspiring magnitude of our celestial surroundings unfolding before us each day. My depiction of a perfect circle as the foundation of the sun represents its fundamental form and symbolic significance to all of us. The addition, the rays emanating from the circle signifies the sun's emission of light and energy in all directions. The rays emanating from this circle represent our understanding that the sun radiates its luminous warmth, illuminates our solar system, and nurtures life here on Earth. In my creative endeavor, I carefully intertwine additional imagery of a man wearing a helmet adorned with my sun symbol, aiming to establish a meaningful connection between my emotions, imagination, and understanding of the sun. This symbolic representation exemplifies how ancient astronomers ingeniously employed mythology and artistic expression to make abstract concepts more relatable, adding a human touch to the celestial realm. The description of the chariot igniting with fiery energy and leaving behind a trail of vibrant colors aligns with the phenomenon of the sun's changing position and the atmospheric effects it creates, such as the colors of sunrise and sunset. The imagery of the chariot's grandeur, pulled by golden horses, conveys the majesty and power associated with the sun's celestial presence. By equating the movement of the chariot with the sun's journey across the sky, my narrative underscores ancient understanding of the sun's daily transit and its connection to the cycle of day and night. It is my sincere hope that you, the reader, will appreciate this essay as a demonstration of how individuals, including myself, from diverse time periods and cultural backgrounds, engage with historical and mythological subjects. Through the lens of imagination, we explore the intricate tapestry of cultural symbolism and forge personal connections to these timeless themes. In doing so, we contribute to a deeper understanding of history's multifaceted nature. My earnest endeavor to explore ancient myths and historical narratives involves delving deeply into the enchanting realm of imaginative folklore, as I strive to unveil the concealed hidden truths, cultural insights, and scientific knowledge within these captivating tales. By recognizing myths as invaluable historical sources, my aim for us is to attain a profound comprehension of the ancient civilizations, comprehending their beliefs, customs, and worldviews. The meticulous process of careful analysis, cross-cultural comparisons, and critical evaluation enables us to forge a profound connection with the wisdom of the past and discern the timeless truths that myths endeavored to convey across the expanse of time and space. This captivating journey of discovery serves as a conduit to bridge the gap between myth and history, effectively illuminating the enigmatic mysteries of our shared human heritage. It is important to recognize that myths are not mere flights of fancy but are deeply rooted in the beliefs, customs, and historical events of the cultures that created them. As such, myths provide valuable sources of historical and scientific information, shedding light on ancient civilizations and their worldviews. By delving into myths, we can piece together a mosaic of the past, painting a more nuanced and comprehensive picture of ancient societies. In the scholarly pursuit of unraveling myths, historians employ a meticulous and systematic approach. They commence by studying the myth itself, carefully analyzing its characters, events, and symbolism. They then seek to understand the cultural context in which the myth emerged, exploring the religious beliefs, social practices, and historical circumstances that shaped its creation. By situating the myth within its historical framework, historians can gain insights into the values, aspirations, and challenges of the society that produced it. One of the key aspects of unraveling myths is identifying and interpreting the symbolic elements embedded within the narratives. Myths are rich in symbolism, using metaphors, allegories, and archetypal figures to convey deeper meanings. Historians analyze these symbols, decoding their significance and connecting them to broader historical and cultural contexts. Through this process, myths transform from mere stories into gateways to understanding the collective consciousness of ancient civilizations. Cross-cultural comparisons play a crucial role in unraveling myths. By examining similar stories from different cultures, historians and anthropologist like myself can discern universal themes, motifs, and archetypes that transcend specific societies. This comparative analysis illuminates the shared human experiences and the timeless truths embedded within myths. It allows historians to discern the abstract concepts, moral lessons, and universal aspirations that myths sought to communicate across time and space. The interpretation of myths requires a nuanced understanding of historical speculation. Historians navigate the fine line between recognizing the imaginative and symbolic elements of myths while also discerning the historical truths they may contain. They critically evaluate the sources, cross-referencing multiple accounts, and examining different perspectives. This meticulous approach allows historians to separate fact from fiction, gradually uncovering the historical, cultural, and scientific insights hidden within the mythological narratives. In our journey of discovery, historians become explorers of the past, decoding the mysteries, and uncovering the truths concealed within myths. They illuminate the beliefs, aspirations, and struggles of ancient civilizations, allowing us to better understand the rich tapestry of human history. Through their work, myths cease to be mere legends; they become windows into the hearts and minds of our ancestors. I hope the unraveling myths through a historical lens provides both of us a unique and enlightening perspective on ancient civilizations. By studying myths, historians embark on a quest to unravel the hidden truths and factual knowledge concealed within ancient narratives. While myths are often regarded as tales of gods, heroes, and fantastical events, historians approach them as valuable sources of historical and scientific information. They recognize that myths, although embellished with elements of imagination and symbolism, can offer glimpses into the beliefs, customs, and historical events of the cultures that created them. Unraveling a story to find the truth involves systematically examining the available evidence, sources, and context surrounding the narrative. This process includes identifying and analyzing primary and secondary sources, cross-referencing multiple accounts, considering the historical and cultural context, separating fact from fiction, engaging with scholarly research, and acknowledging the limitations of historical research. By critically evaluating the sources, comparing different perspectives, and filling gaps with informed speculation, a more accurate understanding of the truth can be attained. Like scientific theory, historical speculation serves the purpose of deepening our comprehension of the world we inhabit. Both respective fields involve the formulation of ideas or hypotheses, the critical analysis of evidence, and the pursuit of knowledge. Historians engage in historical speculation to investigate the past and unveil obscured narratives, while scientists employ scientific theories to unravel the workings of the natural world. Perspective on Hyperion's Legacy One such historian who delved into the realm of mythology to extract historical and scientific insights was Diodorus Siculus, also known as Diodorus of Sicily, an ancient Greek historian who lived during the 1st century BC. Diodorus is best known for his work called the "Bibliotheca Historica" or "Library of History." He aimed to provide a comprehensive narrative of the ancient world, starting from mythological times and extending to his own era. He drew from a variety of earlier sources, including historians, poets, and geographers, to construct his narrative. In the passages below, Diodorus adopts a unique approach in his exploration of the figure of Hyperion. Rather than regarding Hyperion solely as a mythical character, Diodorus endeavors to extract historical and scientific knowledge from the narratives surrounding him. He delves deep into the stories and accounts related to Hyperion, seeking to uncover insights that may possess a factual basis. In passage 66 of "Bibliotheca Historica", Diodorus Siculus acknowledges the mythical nature of the narrative he is about to recount, a tale passed down by the Cretans, the people of a civilization historically tied to the island of Crete. In ancient Greek literature and historical accounts, Diodorus, among other historians, used the term "Cretans" to denote the inhabitants of Crete. This term, in the context of ancient history, is often associated with the Minoan civilization, an advanced culture that flourished on the island. The term "Minoan," however, is a modern descriptor not used during Diodorus's time. It was introduced in the early 20th century by British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans following extensive excavations at Knossos. This term derives from the legendary King Minos, associated with the myth of the Labyrinth. Diodorus, it should be noted, did not differentiate between various historical periods of Crete's past, such as the Minoan era (circa 3000-1450 BC) or subsequent periods like the Mycenaean or Dorian Crete. To him, all inhabitants of Crete, across all epochs, were simply Cretans, underscoring the continuity of the island's cultural and historical identity. Diodorus establishes a clear distinction between myth and historical records. While he recognized the cultural and religious significance of myths, he also sought to differentiate between mythical narratives and verifiable historical facts. Thus, by categorizing the Titans as mythical beings, Diodorus indicates that their existence and actions should be interpreted within the framework of mythological storytelling rather than as concrete historical events. The Curetes and the Titans are significant figures in ancient Greek mythology. The Titans, as progenitors of the gods, represent an older order, primordial and mighty. The Curetes, on the other hand, are often associated with the upbringing of Zeus, one of the new Olympian gods who overthrew the Titans. Thus, when "the Curetes were young men, the Titans, as they are called," it signals a transitional period, a threshold between an ancient order and a new epoch. Cnosus, or Knossos, was the ancient capital of Crete and is most famous today for its archaeological sites, including the palace of King Minos, where according to Greek mythology, the labyrinth housing the Minotaur was located. The reference to the Titans dwelling in this area links the mythology of these primordial beings directly to a significant location in ancient Greece. It is important to recognize that Diodorus lived in a time before the advent of modern technology, such as computers and digital databases, which have greatly facilitated research and access to a vast array of information. Historians like Diodorus relied on written texts, oral traditions, and personal observations to gather information, often working with limited resources and the knowledge available to them at the time. Thus, the absence of certain details or variations in Diodorus's account may be attributed to the limitations and constraints of historical research during his era. In passage (67), Diodorus Siculus offers a fascinating perspective on Hyperion, one that portrays him not solely as a mythical deity, but as a historical figure of great significance. According to Diodorus, Hyperion was an early scholar in the field of astronomy who made notable advancements in understanding the celestial movements of the sun, the moon, the stars, as well as the seasonal variations. Diodorus suggests that Hyperion played a pivotal role in the development of astronomical knowledge during his time. If we consider the validity of Diodorus's account, the deification of Hyperion by the ancient Greeks takes on a new and profound significance. It can be seen as a means for the Greeks to honor and celebrate Hyperion's remarkable contributions to the realm of astronomy and his deep insights into the workings of the universe. By elevating him to the status of a divine figure, we can infer the Greeks sought to pay homage to his intellectual prowess and profound understanding of cosmic phenomena. The notion of deifying a historical figure like Hyperion underscores the ancient Greeks' reverence for knowledge and the pursuit of wisdom. It reflects their recognition of the immense value and impact of intellectual pursuits, particularly in fields such as astronomy that sought to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. By attributing divine qualities to Hyperion, the Greeks sought to emphasize the sacred nature of knowledge and its potential to reveal the hidden wonders of the universe. The absence of verifiable historical evidence at this time prevents us from affirmatively stating that Hyperion was a historical individual. The attribution of astronomical discoveries to the Titan Hyperion can also indicate an early personification of knowledge and intellectual progress. Hyperion's diligence and observation could be also seen as a metaphor for the advancement of ancient Greek society and the value they placed on rational thought and exploration of natural phenomena. In this way, the ancient Greeks merged mythology and history, intertwining the realms of the mythical and the real to create a narrative that celebrated both the divine and the human. Hyperion's dual nature as a Titan and a scholar symbolizes the interconnectedness of myth and knowledge, underscoring the importance of intellectual pursuits in shaping their understanding of the world. Library of History Diodorus Siculus In Ovid's "Fasti," Hyperion is depicted as a divine being associated with the sun, rather than a historical figure or mortal turned deity. Ovid describes Hyperion as adorned with rays, symbolizing his connection to the sun's radiant light and divine power. The propitiation of Hyperion on January 9 is mentioned, where the Persians offered horses as sacrifices. This choice of animals reflects the association of swiftness and nobility with Hyperion, who represents the heavenly light. Ovid's portrayal of Hyperion in "Fasti" shows potential inspiration from elements of Mithra or Hvar Ksata, both radiant solar deities associated with the sun's journey across the sky. The parallel concept of a god driving a chariot across the celestial sphere can be observed in both descriptions. The significance of swift horses in the propitiation of Hyperion aligns with the depiction of Hvar Ksata, further suggesting a shared motif. The Romans practiced syncretism, incorporating gods and religious beliefs from conquered cultures into their own pantheon. This assimilation process aimed to integrate diverse cultures, maintain social stability, and accommodate different religious beliefs. As the Roman Empire expanded, encounters with various cultures and belief systems led to the adoption and incorporation of local gods and practices into the Roman religious framework. While there is no historical evidence to support the claim that Ovid personally traveled to Persia, it is likely that he acquired knowledge about Persian culture through secondary sources. Ovid lived in Rome during the reigns of Emperor Augustus and early Emperor Tiberius, primarily drawing upon his observations and understanding of Roman society, mythology, and cultural traditions. His references to Persian and Egyptian themes, figures, and customs may have come from earlier Greek and Roman literature, accounts of travelers, or interactions with individuals knowledgeable about these cultures. Ovid's expertise as a poet and mythographer allowed him to incorporate diverse mythological and cultural elements into his writings, creating a rich tapestry of narratives. Fasti Book I: January 9 Ovid The Khwarshed Yasht, a hymn dedicated to the sun in the Avesta, the sacred texts of Zoroastrianism. The passage highlights the significance of the undying, shining, and swift-horsed Sun and its role in the world. It emphasizes the purification and life-giving qualities associated with the sun's rise, cleansing the earth and its waters. The hymn also mentions the connection between offering sacrifices to the sun and invoking the protection of Ahura Mazda, the Amesha-Spentas, and one's own soul against darkness and negative forces. Ovid, a well-read and knowledgeable poet, likely had access to a diverse range of religious texts and traditions, including the Khorda Avesta. Given the emphasis on the sun's attributes and its significance in Zoroastrianism, it is plausible that Ovid's mention of Persia propitiating a solar deity might allude to the worship of the sun itself, be it through the deity Hvar Ksata or the later prominence of Mithra as a sun god in Persian culture. Both Hvar Ksata and Mithra held esteemed positions in the Persian pantheon and were associated with the powers and qualities attributed to the sun. In both the Hymn to the Sun and Fasti mention the attribute "swift" and "horse" to acknowledge the Sun's perceived movement across the sky with great speed. The convergence of Ovid's poetic works with the concepts present in the Khorda Avesta reveals an intriguing interplay between Roman and Persian beliefs, encompassing the solar deity's significance and its portrayal as a swift celestial force. Khorda Avesta Khwarshed Yasht ("Hymn to the Sun") Sacred Centers There are some places in this world that seem to exist in a realm of their own, where faith and history intertwine to create a tapestry of wonder. It's like they hold the key to unlocking the secrets of our existence. I am humbled by the devotion and the countless footsteps that have trodden upon these hallowed grounds. For it is here, in the embrace of these cities, that we glimpse the extraordinary potential of the human spirit, forever seeking solace and purpose in the great mysteries of life. My story begins with a city I never walked, but seen countless times through my Christian faith. Jerusalem, a city that has seen the rise and fall of empires, and where three great religions converge. In the old quarter, narrow streets wind through ancient stones, leading us through a mosaic of cultures and beliefs. The Western Wall stands tall, its cracks filled with the hopes and prayers of generations. And just beyond, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where the air is thick with reverence and the echoes of centuries of devotion. Mecca, the heart and soul of Islam. It's a city that calls upon the faithful, summoning them to embark on a pilgrimage of profound significance—the Hajj. Millions of souls, draped in seamless white garments, converge upon this sacred land, moving in harmony like the stars in the night sky. The Kaaba, an ancient black stone, becomes the center of their universe, drawing them into a spiritual orbit, a celestial dance of devotion and surrender. In this tapestry of sacred cities we find ourselves caught between the realms of history, faith, and human yearning. These places hold the stories of our ancestors and the aspirations of generations to come. They are reminders that, despite the vastness of time and the diversity of beliefs, there is a common thread that weaves through the human experience—the pursuit of meaning, connection, and transcendence. Constructing the Temple of the Sun I like to imagine the distant realm of On/Heliopolis. A land bathed in golden hues, where towering obelisks reach for the heavens. This is a city that worshipped the sun, its rays casting a divine glow upon the grand temples dedicated to the mighty Ra. The Great Temple of Ra stands as a testament to the ancient beliefs and rituals, where pilgrims sought enlightenment in the warm embrace of the sun's radiance. Before there were any buildings, an Egyptian architect stood amidst a vast expanse of golden sand, a canvas awaiting its transformation. With his arms outstretched, he seemed to channel the very energy of the sun, drawing inspiration from its radiance and warmth. His eyes, filled with determination, scanned the horizon, envisioning the grandeur that would soon rise from the desert. I watched in awe as the architect's skilled hands moved with precision and purpose, breathing life into the vision of this magnificent city. The lines he drew carried the weight of ancient wisdom, tracing the outlines of grand structures that would one day rise to the heavens. Every curve and angle seemed to hold a hidden harmony, a sacred geometry that echoed the order of the cosmos. As the lines began to intersect and intertwine, the blueprint of the city took shape. Magnificent temples and palaces emerged, their facades adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments. The precision with which the architect delineated every detail spoke of an intimate knowledge of cultural symbols and religious iconography, honoring the spiritual heritage of the city. As the architect meticulously worked on the canvas, the city emerged in breathtaking detail. I could almost feel the heat of the sun's rays against my skin, as if the city itself was infused with the warmth and radiance of the celestial orb it worshiped. Towering obelisks reached towards the sky, their golden surfaces reflecting the sun's brilliance, while majestic temples stood as beacons of devotion. On was an ancient Egyptian city situated near modern-day Cairo. The very name "On" derives from the Egyptian word meaning "pillar" or "obelisk," suggesting the possible presence of significant religious structures within the city. The name "On Ra" further emphasizes the city's deep connection to the god Ra, underscoring its status as a focal point for solar worship and highlighting Ra's crucial role in Egyptian cosmology. Ra, revered as the sun deity, was regarded as the creator and sustainer of life, with his worship intertwined with concepts of kingship, order, and divine power. The name "On" is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. In the biblical account, On is associated with the city where Pharaoh and his officials recognize the wisdom and discernment of Joseph, a man in whom the Spirit of God is believed to reside. Impressed by Joseph's abilities, Pharaoh appoints him as an authoritative figure, granting him great power and responsibility. Pharaoh acknowledges Joseph's divine gift of interpretation and understanding, and he places Joseph in charge of his household and all the people of Egypt, with only Pharaoh himself having greater authority. During Joseph's interactions with Pharaoh, it is plausible that there existed a level of religious syncretism or tolerance within ancient Egypt. This suggests a willingness to incorporate or acknowledge foreign religious beliefs and deities alongside the established Egyptian pantheon. The biblical narrative highlights Joseph's recognition of God's involvement and guidance throughout his conversation with Pharaoh. Speculating on Pharaoh's perception of this God would be conjectural, based on historical context and cultural understanding. In Egyptian religious beliefs, the pharaoh, seen as a perceived son of Ra, embodied the power of the sun god, which brought life and sustenance to Egypt. The pharaoh's divine role encompassed maintaining the sacred order and upholding Ma'at, the principle of balance and harmony in the world. It is within this religious framework that Pharaoh acknowledges the presence of the Spirit of God within Joseph. In the context of Egyptian cosmology, Pharaoh might have interpreted Joseph's exceptional wisdom and discernment as the manifestation of Ra's divine power working through him. Ra was considered the ultimate source of wisdom and guidance, with his influence permeating all aspects of Egyptian society. The exact meaning of the name "Zaphenath-Paneah" is of Egyptian origin but does not have a clear equivalent in Hebrew. The book "On the reliability of the Old Testament" by K. A. Kitchen offers valuable insights into the study and interpretation of the Old Testament, specifically regarding the reliability and historical accuracy of its contents. One particular aspect discussed is the Egyptian name given to Joseph, Zaphenath-Pa'aneah, and the attempts to uncover its original Egyptian form. Kitchen proposes Egyptian form of Joseph's name, to be interpreted in English as "Joseph who is called life." The elision of the initial "i" in the Egyptian name is a common linguistic feature observed in ancient Egyptian names. This proposed form aligns with established Egyptian naming conventions, particularly during the Middle Kingdom period. The usage of "(Semitic name) who is called (Egyptian name)" is also attested in ancient Egyptian records, providing additional support for the validity of this interpretation. Thus, according to this theory, Joseph's full name in Egypt would be understood as "Joseph who is called "Djat-naf" or "pi-ankh." In the biblical account, Potiphera is mentioned as the father of Joseph's wife, Asenath. As a priest of On, Potiphera would have held a position of influence and authority within the religious hierarchy associated with the worship of the sun god Ra. K. A. Kitchen proposed that the name, Potiphera is derived from the Egyptian name P(a)-di-Pare', which can be translated as "the gift of the sun-god Pre," which is an alternate spelling or form of the more commonly known sun-god "Re" or "Ra." This form of the name aligns with known Egyptian naming conventions, particularly in the New Kingdom period. The exact meaning of the name Asenath is of Egyptian origin and could potentially mean "she belongs to Neith," the prime creator of the universe and all it contains. According to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, Neith was said to be the mother of Ra, the sun god who went on to create everything else. In this context, many worshipped her as the creator of birth. Genesis 41 Egyptian Museum, Cairo - Ground floor, grand gallery (33) Detail of the Pyramidion of Amenemhat III Merja Attia The Greeks, associated (On) with the worship of their sun god Hyperion and his son Helios. Heliopolis is derived from the Greek words "helios" meaning "sun" and "polis" meaning "city," thus translating to "City of the Sun." Herodotus provides a description of the phoenix's life cycle and its journey from Arabia to Heliopolis, where it deposits the remains of its parent on the altar of the sun. It reflects the mythical beliefs surrounding the phoenix and its symbolic association with death and rebirth. Like the Phoenix, there is a mythological species Benu (Bennu) bird that the ancient Egyptians associated with the sun and with cycles of death and rebirth. The Bennu bird was considered the soul (ba) of the Egyptian sun god Ra and was known as "The Lord of the Jubilees," reflecting the daily cycle of the sun rising and setting. Similarly, the Phoenix was associated with the sun and had a life cycle where it would die in a show of flames and combustion, only to be reborn from the ashes. It was believed to be the ba (soul) of the sun-god Ra and was also associated with Osiris, the god of death, resurrection, and the afterlife. "The Lord of the Jubilees" in ancient Egyptian culture, and it represented cycles of renewal and rejuvenation, mirroring the daily rise and set of the sun. The Benu was often depicted as a heron. The Histories - Book II Chapter 73 Herodotus In Greek culture, personal names were carefully chosen to reflect specific qualities, characteristics, or divine associations. The name "Helios" is a prime example, representing the Greek god of the sun. Its significance lies in its connection to the celestial entity and the pivotal role the sun plays in Greek mythology and daily life. In the Iliad, Homer uses the naming convention "Helios Hyperion" by combining a personal name ("Helios") with a patronymic ("Hyperion"), highlighting a divine lineage or ancestral connection. In Greek culture, patronymics are a naming convention used to identify familial relationships, typically by incorporating the father's name into the child's name. Let's explore an analogy using my name, Luke, and my father's name, Karel, within the context of patronymic naming conventions. However, by adopting the patronymic naming convention, my full name becomes "Luke Karel," signifying "Luke, the son of Karel." Through this analogy, "Luke Karel" symbolically represents the continuation of my father's legacy and the passing of his qualities, values, and experiences to me. It acknowledges the influence and guidance I have received from my father, while also recognizing my unique individuality as I carry forth the family name. As I reflect upon the analogy using my name, Luke, and my father's name, Karel, I am reminded of the significance and diversity of personal names. Just like "Helios" represents the Greek god of the sun, my name, Luke, holds associations with light and illumination. It embodies the idea of bringing brightness and enlightenment to others. Delving into the origins of our names and their unique meanings reveals the intricate tapestry of our personal histories. In my own journey, I discovered that my name, Luke, carries a connection to the town of Luke, Maryland, where my mother spent her early years, while my father's birth at Saint Luke's Hospital in Spokane, Washington, adds another layer of significance. These geographic ties reflect my parents' desire to honor the places that held sentimental value for them. Meanwhile, my father's name, Karel, rooted in a longstanding family tradition, underscores the importance of ancestral lineage as successive generations bestowed the name upon their firstborn sons. Together, these elements embody the interplay of personal experiences and familial traditions that shaped my identity and remind me of the legacy I carry forward. Building upon the significance of our names, I decided to continue this cherished tradition by naming my own firstborn son Luke as a junior. By doing so, I not only honored my own identity and family history but also established a new chapter in our lineage, carrying forward the name and its rich meaning to the next generation. It is a way to connect the past, present, and future, weaving a tapestry of shared experiences, values, and love. While the analogy between "Helios Hyperion" and "Luke Karel" beautifully captures the symbolic representation of qualities such as light and freedom, it is essential to recognize the personal connections and histories associated with each name. Our names are more than just labels; they carry the weight of our family heritage, cultural traditions, and individual experiences. They are intertwined with our stories, reflecting the rich diversity and complexity of who we are. As a anthropologist, I find it fascinating to consider how Homer's use of the name "Helios Hyperion," assigned significant meaning to his narrative. Iliad Book 8 - Line 470 Homer Religion played a central role in the lives of the ancient Greeks, shaping their understanding of the cosmos, the divine order, and their place within it. The Orphic Hymns, as part of this religious tradition, served as a means of communicating with and venerating the gods, seeking their favor, and expressing devotion. The Orphic Hymns are a collection of ancient religious poems or hymns traditionally attributed to Orpheus, a mythical figure and legendary poet from ancient Greece. Orpheus was renowned for his extraordinary musical talents and was believed to have the power to charm humans, animals, and even the gods with his enchanting melodies. In the hymn, Helios, the Sun, is described as the "golden Titan" with an eternal eye that illuminates the entire sky. Helios is the self-born and tireless source of light, symbolizing the mirror of delight for all eyes. He is depicted as the lord of the seasons, driving his fiery car with leaping coursers across the heavens. With his right hand, he brings the morning light, and with his left, he presides over the night. The connection between Helios and Zeus in this hymn reflects the ancient Greek belief in a pantheon of gods, each with their own domain and attributes. Helios, as the Sun, was a prominent celestial deity associated with the sun's daily journey across the sky and its life-giving and illuminating qualities. Zeus, as the supreme god, presided over the cosmos and the order of the universe. The Sun is characterized as agile, vigorous, and venerable, running fiery and bright through the heavens. He is a foe to the wicked but serves as a guide to the good, overseeing their steps with benevolence. The hymn also acknowledges the Sun's association with music, attributing to him the ability to fill the world with divine harmony through a golden lyre. Helios is like a skilled driver who can control celestial horses that pull a magnificent chariot. These shining horses represent the Sun's movement across the sky, guiding its daily journey through the heavens. Helios, as the Sun deity, is depicted as a radiant and majestic figure, lighting up the world with his brilliant light as he rides gloriously in his celestial chariot during the daytime. The horses' brightness mirrors the Sun's own radiance, making Helios' daily journey across the sky a truly spectacular sight. Orphic Hymns (The Hymns of Orpheus) VII. To the Sun - Helios The Romans, associated (On) with the worship of their sun god Hyperion. The passage from Ovid's "Metamorphoses" presents the mythological account of the phoenix, which is described as being reborn from its father's body and destined to live the same number of years as its predecessor. The phoenix gains strength with age and is capable of carrying burdens. It then lightens the heavy nest on the tall palm tree and carries its own cradle, which was previously its father's tomb. The phoenix, described as reaching the city of Hyperion, lays down the cradle in front of the sacred doors of Hyperion's temple. The term "cradle" is used metaphorically to describe the nest that the phoenix carries. It symbolizes the protective and sacred space where the phoenix's rebirth takes place. The idea of the cradle being the tomb of the phoenix's father emphasizes the cyclical nature of life, where death and new life are interconnected. Persia, as an ancient empire, did not have a specific city known as the "City of the Sun" in the same way that On (also known as Heliopolis) was associated with the sun in ancient Egypt. Heliopolis, located in Egypt, was indeed regarded as a significant center for the worship of the sun god Ra, which could be seen as a parallel to the association of Hyperion with the sun. The Metamorphoses Bk XV:391-417 Pythagoras’s Teachings: The Phoenix Ovid The British Museum's collection houses a significant artifact labeled as Amulet 189, a steatite heart-amulet. This piece intriguingly depicts Ay, a high-ranking official of the late 18th Dynasty, in an act of adoration towards the Benu (Bennu) bird. The heart-amulet itself also carries symbolic weight. In ancient Egyptian belief, the heart was considered the seat of the soul and intellect. Heart-amulets were often used to protect and guide the heart in the afterlife, further emphasizing the theme of life after death. As a pharaoh, Ay was regarded as the intermediary between the gods and the people, and his role was not merely administrative but deeply religious. By worshipping the Bennu bird, he essentially venerates the cyclical process of death and rebirth, reinforcing the pharaoh's integral role in maintaining ma'at (order and balance) in the kingdom. The British Museum EA50742 189 - Steatite heart-amulet In the world of ornithology and mythology, there has long been a discussion about the real-world counterpart of the ancient Egyptian Benu (Bennu) bird. It is probable the Goliath Heron, Ardea goliath, a bird species native to Africa and parts of the Middle East, may, in fact, be the modern counterpart of the Benu bird. For instance, the Goliath Heron's large size and regal stature could symbolize the sun's strength and power. Additionally, its wide-ranging habitat, which includes the African regions where Egyptian civilization thrived, makes this link plausible. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species, the Goliath Heron has a wide distribution across different regions of Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and even parts of Southeast Asia. This wide range reflects the adaptability of the Goliath Heron to various wetland habitats and its ability to exploit diverse ecological niches. The population trend of the species is stable, indicating that there is no significant decline or increase in population size over time. Goliath Heron : Ardea goliath IUCN Red List Category and Criteria - Least Concern Herodotus might have witnessed might have witnessed the mummification process of a heron or ibis in ancient Egypt and used the symbolism of the egg of myrrh to describe it. Herodotus might have been captivated by the pristine white linen wrapping, which could have reminded him of the smooth, uniform surface of an eggshell. Perhaps he contemplated the symbolism of life and rebirth associated with eggs and recognized a parallel in the process of mummification, where the deceased were prepared for their journey into the afterlife. In addition, myrrh, a resinous substance derived from Commiphora trees, played a vital role in preserving the bodies of the deceased during mummification, alongside other aromatic substances. During mummification, after the body was prepared and the internal organs were removed, the body cavity was filled with a mixture of natron and various aromatic substances, including myrrh. The inclusion of myrrh helped to dehydrate the body and inhibit bacterial growth, thus aiding in the prevention of decay. Furthermore, myrrh found its application in the wrapping of the mummy. Linen bandages were soaked in a resinous solution, often containing myrrh, to enhance preservation and create a tightly wrapped mummy. This resinous mixture acted as a preservative, ensuring the integrity and longevity of the mummified remains. Myrrh possessed not only practical benefits in the mummification process but also held symbolic significance. In ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, myrrh was associated with purification, healing, and offerings to the gods. Its inclusion in the mummification process aligned with the spiritual dimension of the ritual, signifying the sacred transition of the deceased into the afterlife. In ancient Egypt, the African Sacred Ibis was considered a sacred bird and had cultural and religious significance. It was associated with the god Thoth, who was the deity of wisdom, writing, and knowledge. The ibis was often depicted in ancient Egyptian art and hieroglyphs and was revered for its symbolism related to wisdom and intellect. Brooklyn Museum Ibis Mummy objects: 14.655a-b; 37.1988E The passage from Pliny the Elder's "Natural History" adds further insights on the subject of the phoenix. Pliny includes the phoenix in his comprehensive study of birds, specifically in Book X of his work. He designates a chapter solely to discuss this legendary creature known as the phoenix. Pliny acknowledges the phoenix as a prominent bird and devotes attention to its unique characteristics. He mentions that the phoenix is associated with extraordinary plumage and surpasses all description. It is regarded as the most famous bird of Arabia, although Pliny expresses some uncertainty about its actual existence, considering it may be more of a mythical creature. The Natural History BOOK X. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF BIRDS. CHAP. 2. (2.)—THE PHŒNIX. Pliny the Elder Diodorus Siculus, in his work Library of History, describes the islands off the coast of Arabia, including the island of Panchaea. He mentions that Panchaea is inhabited by the Panchaeans, Oceanites, Indians, Scythians, and Cretans. The island is known for its fertility, abundant vineyards, and diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, and gazelles. The Panchaeans are divided into three castes: priests, farmers, and soldiers, each with their own roles and responsibilities. Arabia the Blessed refers to the prosperous and fertile parts of ancient Arabia, which could include areas in present-day Yemen, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. Socotra: Socotra is an island located off the coast of Yemen in the Arabian Sea. It is known for its unique and diverse flora and fauna, including the famous Dragon's Blood tree. Socotra has a long history and was a prominent trading center in ancient times. Bahrain: Bahrain is an archipelago in the Persian Gulf, situated near the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia. It has a rich history dating back thousands of years and was an important trading hub in the ancient world. Bahrain was known for its pearls and was mentioned by various ancient historians and geographers. Qeshm: Qeshm is the largest island in the Persian Gulf, located near the southern coast of Iran. It has a significant historical and cultural heritage and was a major trading center and port during ancient times. Some scholars speculate that Panchaea could be associated with the island of Socotra, located in the Arabian Sea. Socotra has a unique ecosystem, rich in biodiversity, and has been historically associated with incense trade and mythical tales. Library of History Book V Diodorus Siculus The "Bibliotheca," also known as the "Library" (not to be confused with the "Library of History" by Diodorus Siculus), is considered one of the most valuable mythographical works from ancient times. Its purpose is emphasized through an epigram recorded by Patriarch Photius I of Constantinople. The epigram highlights the significance of the Bibliotheca as a reliable source for knowledge of the past and the ancient tales of learned lore. It encourages readers to draw their understanding from the Bibliotheca, instead of turning to other sources such as Homer, elegy, tragic muse, or epic strain. This underscores the comprehensive nature of the Bibliotheca and positions it as a comprehensive and authoritative resource for exploring and comprehending the rich tapestry of mythological traditions. The misidentification of the author of the Bibliotheca as Apollodorus of Athens, a 2nd-century BCE scholar, stems from references in minor scholia on Homer. These references mention an Apollodorus of Athens who compiled a similar comprehensive repertory on mythology in verse form. However, the surviving text of the Bibliotheca actually cites a Roman author named Castor the Annalist, who lived during the 1st century BCE. The attribution to Apollodorus of Athens was likely a result of the common usage of the name at the time. To differentiate the author of the Bibliotheca from Apollodorus of Athens, he is commonly referred to as "Pseudo-Apollodorus." Pseudo-Apollodorus genealogy of the Titans Hyperion and Theia are mentioned as parents Dawn, Sun, and Moon. This lineage suggests the celestial nature of Hyperion and Theia, as their children represent celestial bodies associated with the sky and daylight. The Library - Book 1 Pseudo-Apollodorus The Homeric Hymns are a collection of thirty-three hymns attributed to Homer, composed between the 7th and 3rd centuries BCE. While the authorship of these hymns is debated among scholars, they are traditionally attributed to Homer, the legendary ancient Greek poet. The hymns are written in poetic form and are dedicated to various gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon. Hymn 2 of the Homeric Hymns is dedicated to Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, fertility, and the harvest. This hymn recounts the tale of how Demeter's beloved daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld. It describes Demeter's grief and anger upon discovering her daughter's disappearance and her subsequent withdrawal from her role as the bringer of abundance to the earth. Helios, the bright son of Hyperion, is also mentioned as one of the few beings who hears the girl's voice. As the god of the sun and the bringer of light, Helios possesses the ability to observe and witness events from his lofty position in the sky. The unknown author mentions Hyperion in relation to Helios, highlighting the generational aspect of the divine realm. Homeric Hymns and Homerica Hymn 2 to Demeter Anonymous In the given passage from Hesiod's Theogony, we discover that Hyperion, the father of Helios, is the progenitor of a lineage that includes his daughter Circe, who becomes romantically involved with Odysseus and bears two children, Agrius and Latinus. Furthermore, Circe becomes the mother of Telegonus through the divine will of golden Aphrodite. Hesiod, a renowned ancient Greek poet and scholar, incorporates this genealogy and narrative surrounding Hyperion and his descendants in his works, effectively highlighting their significant roles within the intricate tapestry of Greek mythology. Theogony Line 1003 Hesiod In the Greek Pantheon of Gods, Theia is seen as a primal force associated with the dawning of light and the illuminating power that pervades the world. Her influence extends to various aspects of Greek mythology, including the glorification of light, the perception of beauty, and the significance of sight and vision. In Greek mythology, Theia is indeed associated with the origin of light. As a Titan goddess, Theia is believed to be the personification of sight and the shining ether of the bright, blue sky. She is closely connected to the celestial realm and often depicted as a radiant figure associated with luminosity. One significant aspect of Theia's role is her association with the creation of light and its effects. It is said that Theia endowed gold and silver with their brilliance and intrinsic value, highlighting her connection to the radiant properties of precious metals. Additionally, Theia's presence is believed to have contributed to the captivating colors of the sky, including the vibrant hues seen during sunrise and sunset. Theia was the daughter of Uranus (the Sky) and Gaia (the Earth). She was one of the ancient deities who ruled the cosmos before the Olympian gods came into power. Theia's name derives from the Greek word "thea," which means "sight" or "gaze." As the goddess of sight, she was believed to possess keen perception and the ability to see and understand things with great clarity. The two siblings had three children: Helios (the Sun), Selene (the Moon), and Eos (the Dawn). In Pindar's Isthmian Ode, we are immersed in the captivating world of Greek mythology, where gods and goddesses hold sway over the destinies of mortals. Among the divine figures that grace the poem with their presence, one stands out in particular: Theia, the majestic Titan goddess associated with light and brilliance. The renowned poet of ancient Greece, pays homage to Theia right from the opening lines, recognizing her as the Mother of the Sun and invoking her many names. This acknowledgement sets the stage for a rich exploration of Theia's influence and significance throughout the ode. As the goddess who bestows radiant light, Theia holds a central role in the realm of celestial and earthly luminosity. Pindar's ode delves into the profound impact of Theia's presence, illustrating how her divine essence shapes the perception and reverence for light. It is through Theia's power that mortals come to prize gold above all else, recognizing its intrinsic connection to her and the radiant glow it possesses. Moreover, Pindar highlights the far-reaching influence of Theia on various aspects of human achievement and glory. From the endeavors of seafaring vessels navigating treacherous waters to the thundering hooves of chariots in fierce competition, Theia's honor and influence permeate the realm of human strife and triumph. The ode presents a vivid picture of Theia's role as the source of inspiration and divine favor, igniting the fire within individuals to strive for greatness and attain laurels that adorn their hair. The Extant Odes of Pindar Isthmian Ode IV by Pindar, translated by Ernest Myers In Greek mythology, Theia is sometimes referred to as Euryphaessa, which can be broken down to signify "wide" (eury) and "bright" (phaes). These names are mentioned in Hymn 31 of Homer's works, where he delves into the genealogy of the gods. According to the hymn, Eos, the goddess of dawn, is the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, who is also known as Euryphaessa. Hyperion, a primordial deity associated with light, is said to have ruled during the Golden Age. Hymn 31, known as the Hymn to Helios, is part of the larger collection called the Homeric Hymns, which consists of ancient Greek hymns attributed to Homer or works connected to him known as the "Homerica." The Homeric Hymns and Homerica Hymn 31 to Helios Anonymous While Eos is connected to the celestial phenomenon of the sunrise, it is important to note that she is distinct from the planet Venus, which holds its own separate mythological associations in Greek mythology. In Homer's Iliad, the goddess Eos, personification of the Dawn, is depicted emerging from the waters of Oceanus, enveloped in her radiant saffron-colored robes. Her appearance signifies the beginning of a new day, as she illuminates the world with her ethereal light. Eos' arrival brings a renewed sense of vitality and energy to both the divine gods and the mortal beings inhabiting the earth. Iliad Book 19, Line 1 Homer This passage In Homer's Odyssey captures the moment before the night drew to a close. Eos is celebrated for her daily journey across the sky, guiding a two-horse chariot that heralds the break of dawn and the arrival of her brother Helios, the sun god. Eos's role in Greek mythology emphasizes her significance as the personification of the dawn and the bearer of a new day. The resplendent Eos awaits with patient grace to begin her celestial ascent at the tranquil streams of Oceanus. However, the goddess Athena intervened, momentarily withholding the golden-throned Dawn from yoking her swift-footed horses, Lampus and Phaethon. These immortal steeds held the sacred duty of illuminating the world with the first rays of daybreak. Athena's purposeful intervention granted Odysseus and Penelope an extended interlude before the start of a new day. Odyssey Book 23, Line 244 Homer In this passage, Homer skillfully portrays Eos, the revered goddess of Dawn, employing epithets to enrich the poetic tapestry and accentuate specific attributes of the characters. The epithet "Rhododactylos," employed to describe Eos, serves to accentuate the captivating palette of the celestial sphere, specifically the rosy tints that grace her fingers or hands as she orchestrates the advent of morning's luminosity. This poetic depiction evokes the enchanting and resplendent essence intrinsic to the break of dawn. Likewise, the epithet "Erigeneia" utilized to delineate the persona of Eos, signifies her profound affiliation with the very concept of dawn. Composed by fusing the Greek words "ēri," signifying "early" or "dawn," and "geneia," connoting "born" or "origin," it alludes to Eos' divine lineage as the offspring of the dawn. Thus, "Erigeneia" can be aptly rendered as "early-born" or "born of the dawn." This epithet magnifies Eos' pivotal role as the embodiment of daybreak, symbolizing her emergence at the inception of each diurnal cycle and heralding the imminent arrival of the sun. It encapsulates her celestial status as the sublime personification of dawn and the harbinger of a rejuvenated day. Iliad Book 1, Line 474 Homer

Muslims around the world are observing the holy month of Ramadan, with worship, charity, dawn-to-dusk fasting and nightly feasts. The daily fast in Ramadan includes abstaining from all food and drink; not even a sip of water is allowed from dawn to sunset before breaking the fast in a meal known as iftar in Arabic. Those fasting are expected to also refrain from bad deeds, such as gossiping, and increase good deeds. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and begins with the sighting of the crescent moon. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, along with the profession of faith, prayer, almsgiving and the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. Fasting is regarded as an act of worship to attain God-conscious piety and one of submission to God. The devout see benefits such as practicing self-restraint, cultivating gratitude, growing closer to God, and feeling empathy for the poor and hungry. Muslims typically stream into mosques for congregational prayers and dedicate more time for religious contemplation and the reading of the Quran, the Islamic holy book. Charity is a hallmark of Ramadan. Among other ways of giving, many seek to provide iftar for the needy, distributing Ramadan boxes filled with pantry staples, handing out warm meals alongside such things as dates and juice or helping hold free communal meals. Muslims eat a predawn meal, called suhoor, to hydrate and nourish their bodies ahead of the daily fast. mesaharati, who roams neighborhoods, calling out to the faithful, sometimes by name, to awake them for the suhoor meal. Taraweeh Prayers Muslims perform Taraweeh prayers as special nightly prayers during the month of Ramadan. They consider these prayers highly virtuous and perform them after the obligatory Isha (night) prayer. The word “Taraweeh” derives from the Arabic word for “rest” or “relaxation,” indicating the breaks taken between sets of prayers. Typically, believers perform these prayers in congregation at mosques, with an Imam leading, involving the recitation of long portions of the Quran. Taraweeh prayers offer believers an opportunity to engage in additional acts of worship and spiritual reflection during Ramadan. Many Muslims cherish these prayers as a means of seeking forgiveness, drawing closer to Allah, and strengthening their connection to the Quran.Believers deeply ingrain the practice of performing Taraweeh prayers in Islamic tradition, considering it significantly important during the blessed month of Ramadan. May Allah’s immaculate grace and exceptional wisdom conquer your life as you celebrate this holy month of Ramadan. Have a blessed Ramadan!

qibla change in islam First to know is that the prophet prayed towards Al-Aqsa mosque before Hijrah, and after it, he prayed towards it for about seventeen months until Rajab of the second year (according to Ibn Abbas), when Allah ordered him to pray towards Kaabah. Did the Prophet pray towards Al-Aqsa at the order of Allah or at his own decision? The majority of scholars agreed that it was at the order of Allah, the following ayah is an evidence: And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels. And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allah has guided. And never would Allah have caused you to lose your faith. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful. Surat Al-Baqarah:143. In this verse Allah says that he made the old qiblah (Al-Aqsa) for a reason (rest of the ayah), so this is an evidence that Allah is who chose Al-Aqsa as the first Qibla. The place of the Dome of the Rock is told to be the place from which the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ascended to heaven at the night of Israa and Miraj, hence its importance. The First Qibla of Islam was toward Bitul-Maqdis, which is now in Jerusalem. Muslims used to pray Salat towards this Qibla, until this Ayat is revealed: We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do 1 This hadith From Anas (R.A) which is recorded in Sahih Muslim is saying this: Anas reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) used to pray towards Bait-ul-Maqdis, that it was revealed (to him):" Indeed We see the turning of the face to heaven, wherefore We shall assuredly cause thee to turn towards Qibla which shall please thee. So turn thy face towards the sacred Mosque (Ka'ba)" (ii. 144). A person from Banu Salama was going; (he found the people) in ruk'u (while) praying the dawn prayer and they had said one rak'ah. He said in a loud voice: Listen! the Qibla has been changed and they turned towards (the new) Qibla (Ka'ba) in that very state. Before the Quran came from Allah the Bible (new & old testament) came from Allah . According to the old testament people were required to pray towards Jerusalem. The origin of this is based in the Bible as below... "If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city ( Jerusalem ) which thou hast chosen, and toward the house ( Baitul Makdas ) that I have built for thy name" [ 1 Kings 8:44 ] So Mulsims were following that direction because that was the last known direction of prayer given by Allah until He changed it in the Quran towards Mecca based on the verse below... "From whencesoever Thou startest forth, turn Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque; that is indeed the truth from the Lord. And Allah is not unmindful of what ye do."

He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." ☝ And (John 12:16-15 (When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak anything of himself, but he will speak what he hears, and he will declare to you what will happen.
