200 Questions about the Bible and the Qur'an

Would you like objective answers to important spiritual questions, answered directly by the Bible and the Qur'an? This book addresses 200 spiritual questions every Muslim believer should consider and uses scripture as the answers to the questions. Clarifying notes are added if needed, though rarely, instead letting the Holy Books speak for themselves.

200 Questions about the Bible and the Qur'an answers questions such as these: Is it accepted that the Holy Bible is the Word of God? (Tevrat, Zebur & Injil) Does God want to protect all of His Holy Books from change and corruption? (Purpose /Niyet) Are the "God" of the Bible and the "Allah" of the Qur'an one and the same entity? In the Holy Books when God refers to Himself, does He ever speak in the first person plural "We"? Does God look on believers as being merely His slaves or servants? Is the Holy Spirit accepted as God? Is it accepted that Christ is the one and only mediator between God and man? Is it accepted that Christ is alive today and that he will come again? Is Muhammad's self-proclamation of being a prophet a valid test or proof of prophethood? Does a holy God take small sins seriously? Is a person's salvation contingent upon their own good works? (Ameller) Will everyone have to spend a period of time suffering in hell? Are women required to wear a veil outside the home? Did God create people in His own image and likeness? Did God promise the land of Palestine specifically to the Jews?
