Is the Doctrine of Trinity from God?

Muslims do not believe in Trinity because Quran says whosoever ascribes partners with Allah will be forbidden Paradise and that Jesus is not God.

Sura 5:72 They surely disbelieve who say : Lo! Allah is the MESSIAH, son of Mary. The MESSIAH (himself) said : O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Lo! whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah, for him Allah hath forbidden Paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evildoers there will be no helpers.
Sura 5:73
They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the third of three; when there is no God save the One God. If they desist not from so saying a painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve.
Therefore several debates have been made on the question as to whether or not Jesus is the Son of God or God manifest in the flesh. Let's find out whether the doctrine of Trinity is derived from the Holy Bible or is the doctrine of man?
Bible does not teach God is the Christ neither say God is one of Three in a Trinity. The statement is false when the equation is reversed eg. Americans are white; white are Americans!Jesus is the Son of God and not God is the Christ. Christ is Messiah and not God is the Christ. God is not one of the Three. God is a Spirit manifests in three persons or Three in one! Doctrine of Trinity is man's understanding of the Scripture and not direct message from God. How did Quran has Trinity when the Bible has no such word in it?

Did the spirit who reveal to prophet of Islam say "I am Gabriel"? Then who say that unidentified spirit is Gabriel? A Christian who never met the spirit said so. That was an invalid witness. Gabriel always make himself known unlike that unidentified spirit.

Dan 8:16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

Luk 1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show thee these glad tidings.

1) Father is God and not God is the Father

Father in heaven is God because God resides in heavenly throne.

Mat 5:48
(Jesus said) Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

2) Jesus Christ is God and not God is Jesus Christ.

2.1 Devil knew Jesus Christ title as "the Son of God"

Mat 4:3 And when the tempter (devil) came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

2.2 Demons knew Jesus as the Son of God.

Mat 8:29

And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

2.3 Men knew Jesus as the Son of God

Mat 14:33

Then they that were in the ship came and worshiped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Mat 26:63

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

Mat 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Joh 10:36 (Jesus said)

Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, "I am the Son of God"?

3) Holy Spirit is God and not God is Holy Spirit.

Blasphemy against Holy Spirit is an eternal sin. Only sin against an infinite being is eternal. So Holy Spirit is God. But to say God is Holy Spirit is false statement because the order cannot be reversed.

Mat 12:31 (Jesus said) Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Holy Spirit is God because He came from the Father and has personality as He shall teach and help to remember all things

Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Trinity is Three in One; the Father, the Son Jesus and Holy Spirit are One.

Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

1Jo 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

1Jo 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

God Himself has testified through Jesus Christ and then confirmed by the Holy Spirit.

1Jo 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
1Jo 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
Salvation does not require a person to believe in Trinity. If the Doctrine of Trinity is false, the Bible is still true because God is not a man that he should lie (Num 23:19).

My Reasons Why I Quit Islam Forever -- By ex-Muslim Abdullah Qasim

I was born in a devout Muslim family belonging to Sunni sect of Islam. I come from an Islamic country but currently I live in a western country. During every Ramadan I used to faithfully fast. During my University study, one of my subjects was Islamic Studies. My professor of the subject glorified Islam and taught all the good deeds of the prophet of Islam. I was taught that Quran is the perfect and the best book sent by God. Islam should be dominant and supersede all the religions of the world. However I realized that he never mentioned why the prophet was so violent and killed so many people. He never mentioned the numerous contradictions in the Quran. He was blowing the trumpet of how other people were converting to Islam but he was in a state of denial (just like most Muslims) with the fact that many Muslims were leaving Islam.

The Islamic teachings that I received were accepted totally by me in the beginning. I defended Islam at all costs. I hated anyone who criticized the prophet or Islam. However, when I read '23 Years of Prophet' by Ali Dashti, and when I went through various web-sites like Answering-islam.org, Faithfreedom.org, and the Prophetofdoom.net, and had discussions with non-Muslims, I began to lift my head out of the sand. I started analysing the Quran and the Islamic teachings and I realized that the mullahs and the Islamic scholars were hoodwinking the Muslims.

From my childhood I hated violence in any form. To my utter dismay I found out that Quran is full of violence. For example, Quran 8:12 (Hilali- Khan) states "(Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes." " I discussed this verse with the mullahs and they stated that I have taken it out of context. I replied that the whole Quran has no context and chronology in the first place. They told many lies to cover up. They quoted the Meccan verse (By the way, non violent Meccan verses have been abrogated by violent Medina verses) that says he that kills a man is like killing the whole humanity, and he that saves a man is like saving the whole humanity (Quran 5:32). However this whole verse had been plagiarized verbatim from Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5. This Mishnah was present 400 years before Quran. Quran 8:39 (Hilali-Khan) states "And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do." The context of this verse is not that Islam should dominate other religions but the only religion in the world and so Muslims should fight and annihilate all non-believers till there is only Islam in the whole world. This tenet of violence and killing made me to dislike Islam and leave it.

All Muslims say that Islam is a religion of peace, but I was thinking how this can be a religion of peace when it teaches to kill the non-believers by any method. Again, if any religion teaches to kill a believer if he/she leaves it, then it is not a religion but an evil cult. Islam teaches to kill its apostates. Quran 4:89 emphatically states that all apostates in Islam should be killed. Many references in hadith show that ex-Muslims were killed and are to be killed. Hence, I realized that Islam is not a religion but an evil cult.

I was always for the equality of man and woman, but since Islam teaches opposite I had no option but to leave Islam. Quran 4:34 recommends beating a disobedient wife. Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 9, Number 493, quotes, " Narrated Aisha: The things which annul prayer were mentioned before me (and those were): a dog, donkey and a woman. I said, 'You have compared us (women) to donkeys and dogs.'" Muslim Book 1 Number 142 quotes Muhammad the prophet saying, "O womenfolk, you should ask forgiveness for I saw you in bulk among the dwellers of Hell." In Islam women are treated like animals with no freedom and equal rights. Three shots from the Divorce gun in the hand of Muslim man "Divorce, Divorce, Divorce" will condemn even the most obedient wife to a life of ignominy and suffering. In Quran there is no punishment for the greatest crime to womenfolk, which is rape. On the other hand if a woman gets raped she will never ever get justice unless she produces four witnesses, who have actually seen the penetration during this horrid episode. This is bizarre procedure to get the witnesses who silently enjoyed the rape scene like in a theatre, and remember that those four watchers should be perfect believers with long beards as well.

Another reason why I left Islam is that Quran is full of internal contradictions, scientific errors and historical blunders. Muslims claim that Quran is 'a miracle of miracles.' This statement is a blatant and greatest lie ever told. Here are a few samples of contradictions in Quran: examples of internal contradictions-- 54:19 mentions Aad was destroyed in a day but 69:6,7 mentions Aad was destroyed in seven nights and eight days; 19:17 shows an angel appeared to Mary but 3:42 shows several angels appeared; 28:40 mentions pharaoh drowned and died but 10:92 states that the same pharaoh was saved; examples of scientific errors--18:86 states that sun sets in a muddy spring of water; 15:19 mentions earth is flat; 86:6,7 states that semen emits from between back-bone and the ribs; examples of historical blunders—19:27,28 states that Mary was the sister of Aaron, whereas history shows they were born about 1300 years apart; 28:8 tells that pharaoh and Haman were living at the same time and place whereas history clearly shows they were born about 1000 years apart and pharaoh lived in Egypt and Haman lived in Shushan city in Persia; and 4:157 says that Jesus was not crucified whereas it is crystal clear in historical records that Jesus was crucified and not another man who looked like Jesus. By the way, the transliterated name of Jesus in arabic Quran is Isa but even this is wrong because the name of Esau, brother of Jacob (Yaqub in arabic) is Isa in arabic. The correct transliterated name of Jesus in arabic is Yasu. Isa (Esau) means 'hairy' and Yasu (Jesus) means 'God saves.' Muslims tell so many lies to cover up all internal contradictions, scientific errors and historical blunders in Quran. Any sane person can become sick of Muslim apologists' deception and lies of 'out of context,' 'bad translation' and 'arabic Quran can not be translated' to hide and conceal the contradictions in the Quran.

I was taught to love Mohammad the prophet more than anybody and anything in the world. He was best of creation, and a mercy sent to the earth by Allah. All Muslims believe that Mohammad was faultless, sinless and perfect but Quran 48:2; 47:19; 40:55 reveal that Allah told Mohammad to ask forgiveness for his faults and also for the sins that he will be committing in the future. Wherever Mohammad went, he showed no mercy to non-believers but tortured, raped serially, killed, assassinated and committed genocide. All Muslims have to say 'peace be upon him', whenever they mention the prophet's name, but I discovered in Quran, Sira (biography of the prophet) by Ishaq and all hadith that when he was weak, he tried to follow peace and endured all the scoffing and ridicule, but when he was strong and had a large horde of powerful militants and terrorists, he tore all the peace treaties into pieces and destroyed peace wherever he went. Even till today his followers the Mohammedans i.e. Muslims pretend to follow peace when they are weak but when they are strong they destroy peace and harmony.

Muslims tell don't blaspheme Mohammad the prophet. Islamic countries have enacted blasphemy laws and they torture, imprison and kill innocent persons and minorities over trivial matter. The fact is that man cannot blaspheme man but he can only blaspheme God if he wants to do so. If a person is accused of blaspheming someone then that someone is God. The politically correct western governments and the toothless UNO are doing nothing to protest against these diabolic and wicked blasphemy laws concerning a dead man called Mohammed. Mohammedans i.e. Muslims say Mohammad was a man yet they treat him like or equal to God. Quran 4:80 (Hilali-Khan) tells "He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), has indeed obeyed Allah." This verse reveals Mohammad is equal to Allah. Quran 33:56 (Palmer) says "Verily, God and His angels pray for the prophet. O ye who believe! pray for him and salute him with a salutation!." The above verse shows that Mohammad is greater than Allah because God does not pray for man. The arabic word used in 33:56 is 'yusalloo' which means pray. But other translators of Quran deceitfully translate 'yusalloo' as bless. But when the same word 'yusalloo' is used in Quran 4:102 those translators translate it as pray and not as bless. Hence, one sees the deceitfulness of the translators here. Quran 49:2-4 and 33:53 reveal that Allah is acting lower in rank to prophet, that is, like a servant to Mohammad because Allah tells the believers to lower their voice and not to talk loudly in the presence of prophet; not to tarry long in prophet's house and to talk to his wives only from behind the curtain and the prophet is embarrassed to tell you this but Allah is not. Any unbiased man and person with common sense can understand from the above Quranic verses that the author of Quran is not Allah but Mohammad who made himself equal to or sometimes greater than God. Tabari (contains Islamic hadith chronologically) IX: 187 states "Bakr saw that Umar would not listen. He went forward. 'Those people who formerly worshipped Muhammad must know that the deity you worshipped is dead.' " Though Islam teaches monotheism yet some verses of Quran and Hadith and Muslims by their actions support and are guilty of dual theism (Allah and Mohammad), prophetaltry (worship of prophet) and Quranaltry (worship of Quran). Since Muslims treat Mohammad like or equal to God, I quit Islam forever.

At present I love the message of Lord Jesus who taught love, fraternity and peace in all his teachings. His entire message is love for humanity. Lord Christ died on the cross for the sins of humanity and was resurrected, to save the world. He never ever killed any human but only healed and saved all whereas Mohammad the prophet tortured and killed many. I would not like to even compare Lord Christ's teachings with the Islamic nonsense of violence, looting, plundering, killing, enslaving and raping the non-believers.

I wish that my testimony could open the eyes of other Muslims, who like to live in harmony with non-Muslims, lift their heads out of the sand and quit the cult of Islam. A caveat to Muslims that are brain dead zombies: my testimony is not fake and do not deceive yourselves that no Muslim will leave Islam because Muslims are quitting Islam by scores. All westerners, liberals, leftists, rightists, media personnel, political leaders, government officials and non-Muslims, remember you are all kaffirs destined to be killed and burn forever in hell according to Islam. So please unite, stop being politically correct, help to stop the immigration flooding of Muslims to western countries and don't be deceived by Islam. Because both types of Muslims, that is, Islamic terrorists who use jihad, bombing and explosions and so-called Muslim moderates who use deception, conversion techniques, and mass population explosions by birth and immigration to western countries, are both trying very hard to achieve the same goal, which is to fulfill Quran 8:39 that states there should be only one religion (Islam) for Allah in the whole world.

Christian and Muslim views on Salvation

Every verse in the Quran and Holy Bible are taken as God's laws. When there is a clause without a provision, any lawyers and judge will know how to interpret it literally.


Let's start off with Christian views.

BEFORE the declaration of faith by a Gentile woman, Jesus tested her by telling her a proverb.

Mat 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

AFTER she believed in Lord Jesus by her words and not by her action alone, she was called "O woman, great is thy faith...". People with true faith in Jesus Christ are known as Christians.

Mat 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

Mat 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

James 2:22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works

Indeed dogs are faithless people who refused to believe in the atoning blood of Lord Jesus Christ for cleansing their sins.

Rev 22:15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

God's law says remission of sins by blood sacrifice.

Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death (eternal separation from God); but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God

God told Aaron to offer Him sin offering to fulfill His standard for remission of sins.

Exo 30:10 And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.

Jesus came to replace animals sacrifice with his own blood sacrifice.

Heb 10:9 then he added, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He abolishes the first in order to establish the second.

Heb 10:10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Angel Gabriel declared:

Mat 1:21 She (Mary) will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their SINS."

Jesus said: "for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." (Mat 26:28) And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. (Mark 14:24)

Jesus foretold his crucifixion to shed his precious Blood: "You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified." (Mat 26:2)

Rom 3:25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Gal 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Christians are one in Jesus Christ, who are seed of Abraham and heirs by promise.

Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Man and God are reconciled by the Blood of Jesus

Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

Eph 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Christians are fellow citizens with the saints and of the family of God

Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone

Now let's proceed to examine Muslims views.

Is there any assurance of salvation for Muslims?

1) Allah will forgive those whom He will and not for every one who believe. So how could Muslims be assured to enter Paradise?

Sura/Chapter 002 - Al-Baqarah. Verse 284

Unto Allah (belongeth) whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; and whether ye make known what is in your minds or hide it, Allah will bring you to account for it. He will FORGIVE whom He will and He will punish whom He will. Allah is Able to do all things. (Pickthal Translation)

Another verse tells that salvation is for whom the Allah has mercy and not for every one who believe.

Muslims enter Hell as Quran says Allah fill Hell with mankind and jinn together. Mankind is human beings. So which Muslims will be spared?

Sura/Chapter 011 - Hûd. Verse 119

Save him on whom thy Lord hath mercy; and for that He did create them. And the Word of thy Lord hath been fulfilled: Verily I shall fill HELL with the jinn (demons) and mankind together.

2) Allah will send those to Hell who disobey him and there is no given provision of forgiveness for disobedience and no certainty of whatever limits of sins.

Sura/Chapter 004 - An-Nisâ. Verse 14 And whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger and transgresseth His limits, He will make him enter FIRE, where such will dwell for ever; his will be a shameful doom.

3) No amount of good works can atone the sin of man because sin is the trangression of God's law.

Under God's law, no one is perfect because if one break a law, he fails the whole Ten Commandments. The penalty of sin is death (figuratively means eternal separation from God). If there is no law, then there is no sin at all because sin is a measure against God's given law

1John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4)

Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

But Quran says about whoever will enter Paradise and Hell shall depend on good works and weighing on scales!

Now is "good works" ideology faulty? Sin is trangression of God's law and not man's law. Doing good works to other people is unable to atone man's sins because it has not meet the requirement of God's law for remission of sins.

Sura/Chapter 007 - Al-A'râf. Verse 8. The weighing on that day is the true (weighing). As for those whose SCALE is heavy, they are the successful.

Sura/Chapter 023 - Al-Mu'minûn. Verse 103.And those whose SCALEs are light are those who lose their souls, in hell abiding.

4) Allah has decreed that every Muslim shall enter Hell.

Sura 19:71 There is NOT One of you BUT shall approach it (Hell). That is a fixed ordinance of thy Lord. (Pickthal Translation)

The literal translation of the last verse cited is: "Not one of you but will enter it (Hell)". Muslim scholars are confused about this verse and say that all will be admitted to Hell but the believers will be rescued. But no one can know when he will be rescued.

It is worthwhile to quote Ibn Katheir, the well known Islamic expositor, as he stated the stories for men who lived understanding what the prophet of Islam has said. One of the stories is about Abdullah Ibn Rowaha was putting his head on his wife's lap, he wept, his wife also wept. He asked her, "why do you weep?" " I saw you weeping so I wept", she answered. He said, "I remembered what Allah said :'No one of you but will enter it (Hell)'. I do not know if I will escape from it or not."

According to Tradition Hadith Al Bukhary volume 5 No. 266, the prophet of Islam said: " By Allah, though I am the apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will do to me"

The Bible is clear that unbelieving in Lord Jesus (for his original mission on atonment for sins) will lead to second death.

Rev 21:8 (Jesus said) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Details explanation has been given and response by a Muslim agreed that Muslims shall enter Hell but does not get burned! Is this so as told in Quran?

Answering Christianity http://www.answering-christianity.com/karim/muslims_in_hell_rebuttal.htm

Sura/Chapter 005 - Al-Mâ'idah. Verse 86. But those who disbelieve and deny our revelations (in Scripture), they are owners of HELL fire.

Quran was revealed earliest in AD610 while the Gospel was first written by John Mark around AD55. The Bible in 3rd century and today's Holy Bible are similar! Quran says it was CONFIRMING the earlier revelations and not CORRECTING the scripture. I just quote 2 verses for easy reference.

Sura 3:3 He hath revealed unto thee the Scripture with truth, CONFIRMING that which was (revealed) before it, even as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel

Sura 5:46 And We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in their footsteps, CONFIRMING that which was (revealed) before him, and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light, CONFIRMING that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah a guidance and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil).

5) There is no forgiveness for idolaters (such as love money, impurity, evil desire) as their eternal place is hell fire.

Sura/Chapter 009 - At-Taubah. Verse 113. It is not for the Prophet, and those who believe, to pray for the forgiveness of idolaters even though they may be near of kin (to them) after it hath become clear that they are people of HELL FIRE.

Mat 6:24 (Jesus said) No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (money).

Col 3:5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

6) Every soul will taste of death; whosoever is removed from Fire will enter Paradise. It means Muslims will be burned in Hell Fire while waiting to be removed to enter Paradise.

Sura/Chapter 003 - Al-Imrân. Verse 185 Every soul will taste of death. And ye will be paid on the Day of Resurrection only that which ye have fairly earned. Whoso is removed from the Fire and is made to enter PARADISE, he indeed is triumphant. The life of this world is but comfort of illusion.

7) Muslims could be sent astray by Allah and then their abode will be Hell

Sura/Chapter 017 - Al-Isrâ. Verse 97. And he whom Allah guideth, he is led aright; while, as for him whom He sendeth astray, for them thou wilt find no protecting friends beside Him, and We shall assemble them on the Day of Resurrection on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf; their habitation will be HELL; whenever it abateth, We increase the flame for them.

Truly Allah has decreed for every one to enter Hell according to Sura 19:71 (Yusuf Ali Translatn): Not one (None) of you but will pass over it: this is, with thy Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished.

Lord Jesus said there would be no way out of Hell once one was sent therein (Luke 16:26). Yet it is a decree for every Muslim to enter Hell (Sura 19:71)

The correct intepretation of the verse is to read the context of Sura 19:69-70 about a Muslim who asked about the resurrection of the dead.

Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them! Therefor, worship thou Him and be thou steadfast in His service. Knowest thou one that can be named along with Him ? (Comment: This man is a Muslim as he worships Allah the Lord of the heavens and the earth.) And man saith: When I am dead, shall I forsooth be brought forth alive? Doth not man remember that We created him before, when he was naught? And, by thy Lord, verily We shall assemble them (Muslims) and the devils, then We shall bring them, crouching, around hell. Then We shall pluck out from every sect whichever of them was most stubborn in rebellion to the Beneficent. And surely We are Best Aware of those most worthy to be burned therein. There is not one of you but shall approach it. That is a fixed ordinance of thy Lord. Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evil-doers crouching there. (Sura 19: 69-70) Pickthal Translation

In conclusion, Muslims are destined to enter Hell Sura 19:71 Not one (none) of you BUT will pass over it: this is, with thy Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished. Sura 19:71 (Yusuf Ali Translation).

As you see, there is no assurance of salvation to those who embrace Islam.

Now, if you felt your heart being opened to a new desire for God and you sincerely want to accept the gift of God, You may pray something like this:

Dear Lord God, I know that I am a sinner, I realize that from my life and from your Word, destined for Hell. I need your mercy and forgiveness. I believe that Jesus has died for my sins. I trust Jesus as my Savior and Lord. I want to turn away from my sins. Cleanse my sins by the Blood of Jesus shed on the Cross. God, I submit to you now and I invite You to come into my heart and life. Please help me to follow you all the days of my life.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

The prayer is simple and yet many Muslims prefer to work for salvation instead of accepting the salvation plan of God by faith in Lord Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith.

Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
