Catholicism and Islam - shared truth

Allah is from ancient Hebrew Eloah which is a name in the Bible recognized by Catholics as a name of God. Catholics in the Mediterranean whose particular language uses Allah as the name of God have for centuries prayed to God, by the name of Allah.

The Muslims recite this prayer daily a number of times.

"In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate!
Praise be to Allah, who the worlds made,
The Merciful, the Compassionate,
The King of the day of judgment,
Thee do we worship, and of Thee do we ask aid.
Guide us to the path that is straight
The path of those to whom Thy love is great,
Not those on whom is hate,
Nor they that err. Amen.

Catholics recite this one.
(Jesus never said that the Father is a Father in the sense of physically having relations with Mary. That is the pagan god Zeus with Leto. It has nothing to do with the Christian faith. Both Christians and Muslims believe in the virgin birth of Christ.)

Our Father Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Mt:22:37:
37 Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole strength.
38 This is the greatest and the first commandment.
39 And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Muslims call Jesus:

"the Messiah Jesus Son of Mary," or "the blessed Son of Mary."

Christians call Jesus:

"Jesus Christ born of Mary" Christ is the Greek for Messiah.

Muslim description of Paradise for the saved after the judgement:

"Joyous on that day shall be the inhabitants of Paradise in their employ;
In shades, on bridal couches reclining, they and their spouses:
Therein shall they have fruits, and whatever they require
Peace! shall be the word on the part of a merciful Lord.
But be ye separated this day, O ye sinners!"

"The sincere servants of God
A stated banquet shall they have
Of fruits; and honored shall they be
In the gardens of delight,
Upon couches face to face.
A cup shall be borne round among them from a fountain,
Limpid, delicious to those who drink;
It shall not oppress the sense, nor shall they therewith be drunken,
And with them are the large-eyed ones with modest refraining glances,
fair like the sheltered egg."

Christian description of Paradise for the saved after the judgement:

Revelation, chapter 22:

The River and Tree of Life

1 ¶ And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. ... Scripture reference - Ezek. 47:1!

2 In the midst of the street thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits every month: the leaves of the tree for the healing of the nations. ... Scripture reference - Ezek. 47:12!

The Throne of God and of the Lamb

3 And there shall be no curse any more: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it. And his servants shall serve him. ... Scripture reference - Zach. 14:1!

4 And they shall see his face: and his name shall be on their foreheads. ... Scripture reference - Ps. 41:3; Mt. 5:8; Rev. 3:12; 14:1

5 And night shall be no more. And they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten then. And they shall reign for ever and ever. ... Scripture reference - Rev. 21:25; 21:23; Isaiah: 60:19!; Rev.20:6; Dan. 7:18

The following are some verses from the Holy Qur'an, Islam's Holy Book, which according to the teachings of Islam, contain all the Words of God, which were directly recited and dictated to the Prophet Mohammad by the Archangel Gabriel, which affirm that the Christ Jesus, the son of the Virgin Mary, came to this earth in the flesh. No faith other than Christianity, states and affirms that fact.

"And the angels said: O Maryam (Mary), God has chosen you and purified you, and chosen you above all women of creation."
(The Holy Quran 2 : 42)

And:

" The angels said: O Maryam (Mary), God gives you the good tidings of a Word from Him, his name is The Messiah (Christ ) Jesus, The son of Maryam (Mary), held in honor in this world and the hereafter, and of the nearest to God."

(The Holy Quran 3 : 45)

And:

"And She (Mary), who fortified (preserved) her womb, and We breathed into her from Our Spirit, and We made her and her son a beacon to all creation."

(The Holy Quran 21: 91)

And:

" ... And We gave Jesus the Son of Maryam (Mary)
the truths, and We supported him with the Holy Spirit...."

(The Holy Quran 2: 87)

And:

The Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and his ascent to God is also affirmed In the Holy Qur'an as follows:

" And God said: Oh Jesus! I am causing you to die, and lifting you up to Me, and cleansing you of those who blasphemed, and making those who follow you above those who blasphemed, until the Day of Resurrection..."

(The Holy Quran 3:55)

The Religion of Islam came initially to the Arab people, the descendants of Ishmael, the first born son of Prophet Abraham, through the prophet Muhammad (PBUH), during the Seventh Century, A.D., and Islam spread all over the world, until the Muslims are now 1.5 billion in number, including 450 million Arabs. And the Arabs, including the Palestinians, the descendants of Ishmael were directly and unconditionally, blessed by God in the Holy Bible, and described as "Princes":

"As for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation."

(Genesis 17:20)

And

"And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven and said unto her, What aileth thee Hagar? Fear not, for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand: for I will make him a great nation."

(Genesis 21:17-18)

THE FACT THAT JESUS CHRIST CAME IN THE FLESH, AND HIS RESURRECTION AND ASCENT TO GOD IS ASSERTED AND RECITED IN THE DAILY PRAYERS OF ALL 1.3 BILLION MUSLIMS IN THEIR HOMES AND IN EVERY MOSQUE IN THE WORLD, INCLUDING THE GRAND MOSQUES OF MEKKAH, MEDINAH, AND JERUSALEM! AND THEY WILL WELCOME HIM WHEN HE RETURNS!

BUT THERE DESCENDED THE AGENTS OF THE ANTICHRIST, DISGUISED AS UNBIASED SCHOLARS, ADVISORS, RESEARCHERS, AND WRITERS, WHO HAVE BEEN HARNESSED BY THE ANTICHRIST TO DESTROY THIS DIVINE TRUTH ABOUT CHRIST BY NAMING HIM AS THE ILLEGITIMATE CHILD OF THE VIRGIN MARY, IN ORDER TO DESTROY CHRISTIANITY ITSELF, AND THUS ISLAM...

AND THE MIDDLE EAST, INCLUDING PALESTINE, THE HOLY LAND, HAS FALLEN TO GREAT TURMOIL, A TURMOIL BROUGHT ON BY THE ADVENT OF THE ANTICHRIST TO THAT HOLY LAND, SINCE GREAT BRITAIN OCCUPIED IT IN 1917, AND INJECTED AND PROTECTED THE ANTICHRIST THERE, A MOVE WHICH WAS AND IS STILL BEING SUPPORTED BY THE WESTERN CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY THE USA, AND THROUGH SOME FUNDEMENTALIST CHRISTIAN CAMP FOLLOWERS WHO, TOGETHER WITH THE ANTICHRIST PREACH AND TEACH THAT THE MUSLIM RELIGION IS EVIL, AND SHOULD BE WIPED OUT BY FORCE. AND THE INFLUENCE AND POWER OF THE ANTICHRIST, ROSE AND CONTINUES TO RISE ALL OVER THE WORLD, UNLESS STOPPED. AND THE CHRISTIAN WEST, IN AMERICA AND EUROPE EVEN GAVE THE ANTICHRIST WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION WHICH THEY STORE IN THE HUNDREDS, IN THE HOLY LAND, READY TO USE AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF GOD.

BUT THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE IN AMERICA AND EUROPE MUST STEP OUT WITHOUT DELAY, OF THE MIASMA OF THE ANTICHRIST, WHICH HAS ENGULFED AND MESMERIZED THEM, AND COME TO CLASP, IN ETERNAL FRIENDSHIP, THE HANDS OF THE ARAB, MUSLIM, AND CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, IN PALESTINE, AND THE OTHER ARAB PEOPLES IN THE MIDDLE EAST, WHO SHARE THE BELIEF THAT CHRIST JESUS WAS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, AND WAS SUPPORTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND WHO PERFORMED MIRACLES AND RAISED THE DEAD, AND WAS RAISED TO HEAVEN TO GOD, AND WHO SHALL RETURN TO EARTH. AND THE PEOPLE OF ISLAM THERE AND ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD SHALL BECOME THE BULWARK AND THE TRUE DEFENDERS AGAINST THE GROWING POWER OF THE BILLIONS OF IDOL WORSHIPPERS OF THE FAR EAST WHO THREATEN THEM AND THEIR CIVILIZATION, EGGED ON BY THE ANTICHRIST.

IT MUST BE REMEMBERED THAT THE MUSLIM AND ARAB PEOPLES WERE THE ONLY PEOPLES IN THE WORLD WHO RALLIED AND SENT THEIR YOUNG MEN TO FIGHT AND DIE AGAINST THE GODLESS SOVIETS WHEN THEY ATTACKED AND OCCUPIED AFGHANISTAN, AND THESE FREEDOM FIGHTERS OR "JIHADISTS" WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN DRIVING THE SOVIETS OUT, WHICH GREATLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE COLLAPSE OF THAT EVIL EMPIRE. ALL THE WHILE, DURING THAT TIME, PRESIDENT RONALD REAGEN AND ALL THE LEADERS AND PEOPLE OF THE CHRISTIAN WEST, STOOD BY DOING NOTHING OTHER THAN PRAISING TO HIGH HEAVEN "THE MUJAHIDEEN" FOR THEIR EFFORT OR JIHAD AGAINST THE GODLESS SOVIETS......

Micah:2:
1 ¶ Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is against God.
2 And they have coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and houses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I devise an evil against this family: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not walk haughtily, for this is a very evil time.
(DRV)

During the second half of the nineteenth Century, the multitude of the antichrist, calling themselves Zionist Ashkenazim* Jews, came together and their financial and political strength and influence, rose and increased greatly and spread across Europe and America, and they started to conspire to seize Palestine, the Holy Land, the land of Christ Jesus for themselves, and establish there, a headquarters and state, where the mention of Christ, who lived and preached and walked in that Holy Land, would be silenced forever! [according to their plan]

Theodor Herzl, an Austrian Ashkenazim Jewish Zionist journalist, and activist, became the principal spokesman and advocate for the Zionist plot, and he wrote his pamphlet, entitled "THE JEWISH STATE", which he published on February 14, 1896. In it he wrote: "When we sink , we become a revolutionary proletariat , the subordinate officers of all revolutionary parties; and at the same time, when we rise, there rises also our terrible power of the purse." (emphasis added)

Herzl convened the first Zionist Congress, and gathered 204 delegates, at Basle, Switzerland between August 29-31, 1897, and they met in the gambling casino there, and they adopted the resolution stating that the aim of Zionism is to create, for the Jewish people a home in Palestine secured by public law, and in his diary entry, dated September 3, 1897, Herzl wrote: "At Basle, I founded the Jewish state..."

However, at that time, Herzl and every Zionist delegate knew that Palestine, the Holy Land of Christ, was fully inhabited by the Palestinian Arab People, most of whom were the descendants of Abraham, who continued to live in that Holy Land, and who as Moslems and Christians, fervently believed that Christ Jesus, the son of the Virgin Mary, came in the flesh, and will return.
