Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith 6 ⓘ

Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: The Messenger of Allah said: These privies are frequented by the jinns and devils. So when anyone amongst you goes there, he should say: "I seek refuge in Allah from male and female devils."

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْحُشُوشَ مُحْتَضَرَةٌ فَإِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْخَلاَءَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْخُبُثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏

The Gospel of Barnabas 16th Century Forgery

Muslims often appeal to the Gospel of Barnabas as an early and original Gospel. It presents a Quran-like Jesus who was substituted for another on the cross and predicts that Mohammed would come as a messenger and prophet of God. These claims are attractive to Muslims, however, the document is a forgery composed 900 years after the birth of Islam.

Scripture

The Misunderstood Trinity in the Quran

Muslims often accuse Christians of saying that they believe in three gods. Christians deny such claims, emphasising that they hold to the Bible, which teaches there is only one God, existent in three persons (hypostases), Father, Son and Holy Spirit who share the same divine nature (ousia).

Theology

The Deity of Jesus in Mark’s Gospel

Although being one of the earliest parts of the New Testament to be written, Mark’s Gospel shows us clearly that Jesus is God. This counters the claim that John’s Gospel’s view of Jesus was a later development by Christians. According to Mark, Jesus is none other than the LORD himself.

Theology

Appearances of the Son of God in the Old Testament

Jesus Christ is believed to have appeared in the Old Testament. Key examples include Jesus appearing as the divine Angel of the Lord to figures like Hagar, Moses, and Gideon. Understanding these appearances supports the view that Jesus' divinity and presence are consistent throughout both the Old and New Testaments.

Promises: God's Promises - God's gift

The Bible shows God to be a keeper of promises. God created humanity to live with him, in Paradise. But as Adam and Eve discovered, sin separates us from God’s presence. Some will ask, ‘can’t God just forgive us?’ But God is holy. He will not turn a blind eye...
