I wanna share what I've learned in a programme I joined.
FCR - Friendly Comparative Religion.
The purpose of the revelation of Noble Quran is to correct the mislead by certain people who believe in their Holy Bible. Apart from that, Noble Quran also comfirming certain rules, laws and instruction from our Almighty God.
This post is to tell similarities between Noble Quran and Holy Bible. Its more "amiable" rather than arguing the differences of both books.
Anyway, please read this paragraph first. We must know that the Bible has been undergone many modifications, alterations and adaptations since long time ago. Some verses are about what the prophets had said, some verses had been changed and some verses had been taken from other resources have been compiled together. (Even the word Bible comes from Greek's vocab - biblios; compilation of books. Urmm, we can see --> bibliography; compilations of sources, isn't it?) Now there are many versions of Holy Bible eg. NIV, NKJV, etc etc.
We can conclude that Holy Bible is definitely not an Injil.
So, straight to the points, what are the similarities?? What are the laws which Noble Quran supported the verses in the Bible??
(I want to present the points in my way, see!)
QUESTION no. 1 to Muslim women...
Will you being guaranteed that you no need to veil your hair (set ur hair free) if you convert to Christ?? (Nauzubillah)
"The answer is NO!"
Point 1:
In Noble Quran, Surah AnNur 24:31
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to their own husbands or fathers or husbands' fathers, or their sons or their husbands' sons, or their brothers or their brothers' sons or sisters' sons, or their women, or their slaves, or male attendants who lack vigour, or children who know naught of women's nakedness. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And turn unto Allah together, O believers, in order that ye may succeed.
While in Bible:
But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled brings shame upon her head, for it is one and the same thing as if she had had her head shaved. For if a woman does not have her head veiled, she may as well have her hair cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should wear a veil. (1 Corinthians 11:5-6)
More verses: 1Timothy 2:9; 1Corinthians 14:34-35; Deuteronomy 22:5
*note that these verses come from Old Testament and New Testament. So, this rule existed since long time ago.
We heard that Syahidah Marwa has been killed in Germany because she defended her right to veil her hair. Indeed, you're restricted to veil your hair in some states in Germany. How can this situation happens in the country which started first to publish Holy Bible?? (remember Martin Luther??) I believe that the prejudice towards the "hair veiler" also exists in other countries.
OOppss. Its 1 am now. I'll post the other points later but let's hope it sooner..
