John
Answered " O master, not only for us, but form them that shall
believe the gospel, tell us how the ancient tempter lays wait
for man"
Jesus
answered: "In four ways tempts that wicked one. The first is
when he tempts by himself, with thoughts. The second is when he
tempts with words and deeds by means of his servants; the third
is when he tempts with false doctrine; the fourth is when the
tempts with false visions". |
Allah (God) Almighty states in the Noble Qur'an (Chapter 17
verse 64) the following with regards to the way Satan affects
people: And befool and
agitate humans with your voice and make assaults on them with
your imagination and influence. And share with them their money
(i.e. share with them the growth of their money) and children
(i.e. share with them the parenting of their children) and make
promises to them. And Satan promises nothing but lies and
deceits. |
There is
nothing mentioned in the Bible with regards to the manner by
which Satan affects humans with. |

When
Jesus said: "Three things there are that make up man: that is,
the soul and the sense and the flesh, each one of itself
separate."
For
the sense has God created for pleasure, and by that alone it
lives, even as the body lives by food and the soul lives by
knowledge and love.
Assuredly, it is as God in them: seeing that they follow senses,
forsaking reason and the law of God. Whereupon they become
abominable, and work not any good. |
Allah (God) created humans from
clay like that used in pottery
The Noble Qur'an (55: 14)
And if I fashioned him and blew
into him from my soul then prostrate yourself onto him
The Noble Qur'an (15: 29)
7. And by Nafs (sense), and Him
Who perfected him in proportion;
8. Then He showed him what is
wrong for him and what is right for him
The Noble Qur'an (91: 7-8) |
There are no
details in the Bible with regards to explaining the human body |

Peter
answered: "Shall, then, our body which we now have go into
paradise?" Jesus answered: "Beware, Peter; lest you become a
Sadducee; for the Sadducee say that flesh shall not rise again,
and that there be no angles, ' Wherefore their body and soul are
deprived of entrance into paradise.
Have
you perhaps forgotten Job, prophet and friend of God, how he
says: "I know that my God lives; and in the last day I shall
rise again in my flesh, and with my eyes I shall see God my
Savior"?
But
believe me, this flesh of ours shall be so purified that it
shall not possess a single property of those which now it has;
seeing that it shall be purged of every evil desire, and God
shall reduce it to such a condition as was Adam's before
he sinned.
Is it,
then, just, I say that the soul alone should go into paradise,
and not the body, which has wearied itself so much in serving
God? |
The description in the Noble Qur'an for How Allah (God) will
resurrect the dead on the Day of Judgment:
And it is Allah (God) Who sends
the winds, so that they raise up the clouds, and Allah (God)
drives them to a dead land, and revives therewith the earth
after its death. As such (will be) the Resurrection!
The Noble Qur'an (35:
9) |
The Bible: 1 Corinthians 15 (Paul
preaching)
The Resurrection Body
35 But someone may ask, "How are
the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?"
36 How foolish! What you sow does
not come to life unless it dies.
44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
50 I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the
imperishable. |

I will
accordingly tell you now [what] little God has granted me to
know concerning this same predestination. The Pharisees say that
everything has been so predestined that he who is elect cannot
become reprobate, and he who is reprobate cannot by any means
become elect; and that, even as God has predestined well-doing
as the road by which the elect shall walk to salvation, even so
has he predestined sin as the road by which the reprobate shall
walk into damnation. Cursed be the tongue that said this, with
the hand that wrote it, for this is the faith of Satan.
Wherefore one may know of what manner are the Pharisees of the
present day, for they are faithful servants of Satan.
What can
predestination mean but an absolute will to give an end to a
thing [of which] one has the means in hand? for without the
means one cannot destine an end. How, then, shall he who not
only lacks stone and money to spend, but has not even so much
land as to place one foot upon, destine to build a house?
Surely, none [could do so]. No more, then, I tell you, is
predestination, taking away the free will that God has given to
man of his pure bounty, the Law of God. Surely it is not
predestination but abomination we shall be establishing. |
Explaining fate and kismet in the Noble Qur'an:
Truly,
Allah (God) did offer AlAmānah (the ability to make decisions
and bear their consequences) to the heavens and the earth, and
the mountains, but they declined to bear it and were afraid of
it. But man bore it. Verily, he was unjust (to himself) and
ignorant.
The Noble Qur'an (33:
72) |
There is
nothing mentioned in the Bible with regards to understanding
fate and kismet |
