JESUS AND THE DEVIL IN THE BIBLE

In the New Testamant of the Bible, in the fourth
chapter of the Gospel according to Matthew, the
sixth and seventh verses clearly indicate that Jesus
is an obedient mortal and God is the Master and Lord
according to his saying in the seventh verse:
"It is written again, Thou shall not tempt the Lord,
thy God."
In this chapter we read the Devil actually carried
the Messiah, and took him from place to place. How can
the Devil carry God? Glory be to Allah; He is above
such blasphemy!
The Devil orders him to prostrate before him and
worship him, even tempting him with worldly possessions.
How can the Devil even dare such a audacity with God?
When the Devil wanted Jesus to comply with his orders,
he (Jesus) replied by saying that it was written (in the
previous Books):
"Thou shalt worship the Lord, thy God; And Him only
shalt thou serve."
Matthew 4:10

Matthew 4:6-7 *Temptation of Jesus
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself
down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning
thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any
time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not
tempt the Lord thy God.

WHY ALLaH SENT PROPHETS AND MESSENGERS

Ever since people innovated the dogma of Shirk
(i.e. joining others in worship along with Allah) Allah
had been sending Prophets and Messengers to his
devotees in order to invite them to the worship of Allah
and Allah Alone, to order them not to ascribe partners
unto Him and bring them out of darkness of polytheism
into the light of Monotheism. All the Prophets preached
Tauhid (i.e. Monotheism, the Belief in the Oneness of
Allah, the Glorious, the Elevated. The following verses
from the Noble Quran illustrate this fact:
"Indeed We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people, and he said:
'O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (God)
but him. (La illaha illallah, none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah). Certainly, I fear for you the torment of a great Day!
( V. 7:59 ).
"And to 'Ad (people, We sent) their brother Hud. He said:
'O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Illah (God)
but Him. (La illaha illallah, none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah). Will you not fear (Allah)?" ( V.7:65 ).
And to (the people of) Madyan, (We sent) their brother Shu 'aib.
He said: O my people! Worship Allah you have no other Illah (God)
but Him. (La illaha illallah, none has the right to be worshipped but
Allah). Verily, a clear proof (sign) from your Lord has come unto you,
so give full measure and full weigh and wrong not men in their things,
and do not make mischief on the earth after it has been set in order,
that will be better for you, if you are believers." ( V. 7:85 )
And to Thamud (people, We sent) their brother Salih. He said: 'O my
people! Worship Allah! You have no other Illah (God) but Him. (La illaha
illallah, none has the right to be worship but Allah).' " ( V.7:73 )
And verily, We have sent among every Ummah (community, nation)
a Messenger (proclaiming): Worship Allah (Alone) and avoid (or keep
away from) Taghut (all false deities i.e. do not worship Taghut besides
Allah). " ( V. 16:36 )
Every Prophet was sent unto his own nation for their guidance, but the
message of Prophet Muhammad was general for all mankind and jinn.
As in Surat al A' raf' (Allah addresses His Messenger):
"Say ( O Muhammad ): `O mankind: Verily, I am sent to you all as the
messenger of Allah. ' " (V. 7:158).
So the aim of sending these Prophets and Messengers to men and jinn
was only that they should worship Allah Alone as Allah said:
And I (Allah) created not the jinn and men except theyshould worship
Me (Alone)" ( V. 51:56 ).
And to worship Allah means to oney Him and to do all He has ordained
and to fear Him by obstaining from all He has forbidden.
Then those who will obey Allah will be rewarded in Paradise, those who
will disobey Him will be punished in Hell-fire

Differences, decision with God

Whatever it be wherein
Ye differ, the decision
Thereof is with Allah:
Such is Allah my Lord:
In Him I trust,
And to Him I turn.

In the highest issues of life men may see things
differently. If their differences arise merely from
selfish motives, or narrowness of vision, they are
sinning against their own souls. If their differences
arise from sincere but mistaken notions, their proper
course is not to form divisions and sects, or to increase
contention and hatred among men, but to leave all
things to Allah, trusting in Him and turning to Him in
all difficulties. The final decision in all things is with Him.
