The Quran confuses the Ka'aba
Allah hath appointed the Ka'bah, the Sacred House, a standard for mankind, and the Sacred Month and the offerings and the garlands. That is so that ye may know that Allah knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and that Allah is Knower of all things.
All assume that Abraham and Ishmael build it…
However, the historical record has Abraham in Canaan
Kissing the black stone was a Nabatean worship practice before Muhammad, and 600 miles further north
72 wives in Paradise for Muslim men
It was narrated from Abu Umamah that the Messenger of Allah said: “There is no one whom Allah will admit to Paradise but Allah will marry him to seventy-two wives, two from houris and seventy from his inheritance from the people of Hell, all of whom will have desirable front passages and he will have a male member that never becomes flaccid (i.e., soft and limp).’”
The 'houri' represent a harem of wives in Paradise, repeatedly promised to Muslim men in the Qur'an and hadith traditions. References objectify them as sexually desirable (they are untouched, with 'full breasts' and 'big eyes') and Muslim women are warned not to annoy their husbands, being mindful of the houri.
Jesus' glory before the world began
Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.
Allah is a monad
Say: He is Allah, the One! Allah, the eternally Besought of all! He begetteth not nor was begotten. And there is none comparable unto Him.
One God, with one person, who is eternally unapproachable.
One God
Hear, Israel: the LORD is our God. The LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
Scripture is abundantly clear that there is one and only one God. The three different persons of the Trinity are one not only in purpose and in agreement on what they think, but they are one in essence, one in their essential nature. In other words, God is only one being. There are not three Gods. There is only one God. (Grudem)
the Wrong Mary
O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a harlot.
Miriam is the sister of Aaron and Moses
All three are the children of Amran (Exodus 6:20)
In Luke the Father of Mary is not Amran, but Heli (Luke 3:23)
And she lived 1400 years after Aaron and Moses
An act of divine service
Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
A beautiful example
Verily in the messenger of Allah ye have a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and remembereth Allah much.
