In this site kindfather.com in E-books such as “Mohammad and AhlulBayt (SBUT), the Promise of Bible”, “Ghadir: Declaration of the Truth, from creation to eternity “, “Names and characteristics of Mohammad, ‘Ali, … and Mahdi (SBUT) in Jewish, Christian and Islamic documents”, “Imam Mahdi (SBUH) Is Present” and … we have presented undeniable facts proving that the Glad Tidings to Hazrat Muhammad and the AhlulBayt (SBUT) have been the oldest news of humankind … it started with Hazrat Adam (SBUH) talking about Mohammad and his Aal (SBUT) …

 

This writing here which is, Allah-Willing, going to be presented in different parts, is the revised and more complete version of Zebh ‘Azim (Grand Slaughter) which has been presented before and was step by step completed every time it was included in an E-book.

 

Now let us read:

 

When God SWT commanded the Prophet Ibrahim- Abraham- (SBUH) to slaughter that sheep in place of his first son Ismael- Ishmael- (SBUH), Ibrahim in his heart wished that Ismael was sacrificed so that his heart would have perceived the grief of a father sacrificing his beloved son, thus deserving the most sublime reward of those suffering grief …

 

Here Allah SWT asked Ibrahim (SBUH) whom, from His creations, he loved the most; Ibrahim (SBUH) responded that Allah had not created any one more beloved to him than Allah’s Habib, Allah’s most beloved, Mohammad (SAWA). Then Allah asked him whom he loved more, Mohammad (SAWA) or himself; Ibrahim (SBUH) responded that he surely loved Mohammad (SAWA) more than himself. Allah SWT then asked whom Ibrahim (SBUH) loved more, his own son or Mohammad’s son (SBUT); Ibrahim said that certainly Mohammad’s son (SBUT) was more beloved to him.

 

Allah then asked whether the slaughtering of Mohammad’s son (SBUT) at the hand of his enemies was more painful to Ibrahim’s heart or the slaughtering of his own son at his hand in the cause of Allah’s obedience; Ibrahim (SBUH) responded to his Lord that the slaughtering of Mohammad’s son (SBUT) at the hand of his enemies was excruciatingly more painful to his heart.

 

Then Allah told Ibrahim that a group of people considering themselves of the ummah (nation) of Mohammad (SAWA) would kill, unjustly out of animosity, Mohammad’s son Hosain (SBUT), after Mohammad (SAWA), in the same manner of slaughtering and beheading a sheep; then Allah SWT said that they would become deserving of Allah’s Wrath for that crime.

 

Ibrahim (SBUH) hearing this became extremely unrestful and his heart started to ache and he began to weep restlessly …

 

So Allah Revealed to Ibrahim that He put the Jaza’ (restless weeping …) of Ibrahim for Hosain (SBUT) in place of the Jaza’ he would have done for his son Ismael if he had slaughtered him; and Allah informed him that He bestowed the most exalted levels of grieving ones upon Ibrahim.

 

In this Hadith, Imam Reza (SBUH) has then clarified that this is the meaning of Allah’s SWT saying:

 

Qur’an 37:107 And We ransomed this with a Grand Slaughter.

 

(Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 44, p. 225; …)

 

In this precious Hadith Imam Reda (Reza, SBUH) has divulged a deep meaning of the Verse 37:107, clarifying that Allah SWT ransomed Ibrahim’s sorrow and weeping for his son Ismael (SBUT), if he was sacrificed, with the extreme and restless weeping of Hadrat Ibrahim (SBUH) for what Imam Hosain, the descendant of Ibrahim thru Ismael (SBUT), was going to suffer in the future …

 

Hadrat Ibrahim (SBUH) with his sincere submission before the command of the One and Only Allah, successfully fulfilled this grand trial and thus he (SBUH) achieved the great status of Allah-Bestowed Imamat:

 

Qur’an 2:124 And when his Lord tried Ibrahim with certain Words, he fulfilled them. He (Allah) said: Surely I will make you an Imam of mankind. Ibrahim said: And of my offspring? My Covenant does not include the unjust, said He.

 

Imam Reza (SBUH) in another Hadith has clarified that, it was because of Mohammad and his Pure AhlulBayt (SBUT)- who were going to be from the descendants of Ismael (SBUH)- that the tradition of slaughtering one’s children in the cause of Allah was thus never established among true believers, and that therefore all the animals that people have thenceforth offered in the cause of Allah until Qiyaamat, would actually be ransoms for Ismael (SBUH). (‘Oyun al-Akhbaar al-Reza, vol. 1; Tafsir Kanz al-Daqaa’eq, vol. 11, p. 172; …)

 

Sadly- even in what is called as the book of exodus of the so called old testament of the “holy bible”, which is claimed by both jews and christians to have been written by Moses- the following command is seen … yet another undeniable proof that the bible is distorted:

 

Exodus 22:29 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.

 

It is noteworthy to mention that throughout history disbelievers and polytheists have offered many human beings as sacrifices in the cause of their false gods, and still in the heart of countries such as America and …, within so called spiritual cults and … the practice of human sacrifice exist …

 

Any how … in this manner Hadrat Ismael (SBUH) remained … and thus his Promised offspring Hadrat Mohammad and his Pure AhlulBayt (SBUT)- those whom all Prophets (SBUT) had given the glad tidings of their coming as the lords of all Anbiya (Prophets) and Awsiya (Successors) (SBUT)- came to this world; Mohammad and the AhlulBayt (SBUT) whom all Prophets, from their ummahs, had sought allegiance for. We cordially invite readers to study the E-books “Mohammad and the AhlulBayt (SBUT), the Promise of Bible” and “Ghadir: Declaration of the Truth, from creation to eternity “ in this site: kindfather.com

 

This introducing of Hadrat Mohammad and the AhlulBayt (SBUT) by the Prophets (SBUT) to their followers was so clear that they used to perform their miracles in the Names of Mohammad and his Aal (SBUT) in the presence of the people; in this regard we refer readers to “Wilayat of Mohammad and AhlulBayt (SBUT), from creation to eternity” in this site, also as part of the Ebook “Ghadir: Declaration of the Truth, from creation … to eternity”.

 

In addition to Hadrat Ibrahim (SBUH)- whom, as mentioned above, was foretold of the sufferings of Imam Hosain (SBUH) at the hand of those considering themselves as the ummah (nation) of the Prophet Mohammad (SAWA)- all other Prophets (SBUT) were also told of this brutal and unforgivable act causing the extreme Wrath of Allah; and all Prophets (SBUT) wept from this news and some (perhaps all …) were even taken through Karbala where they suffered an injury and were told by Allah that He SWT had Wished their blood to be in accordance and harmony with the blood of Imam Hosain (SBUH) … (please refer to the article and the E-book “Mourning …” in this site: kindfather.com)

 

It is also quite logical to conclude that Prophets (SBUT) had at least told some in their Ummahs in regard to this brutal and Grand Slaughter in the future. Supporting this, for instance there are still traces of such news hidden in the midst of distortions of the bible; whether such statements were originally prophecies directly and clearly referring to Imam Hosain (SBUH) or whether their Ta’wil, or secondary application (a term used by some biblical scholars) were indicative of Imam Hosain (SBUH), Allah Knows best … any how, in Jeremiah 46:10  a news of “a sacrifice [*slaughter] … by the river Euphrates” is mentioned.

 

[*In some versions of English translation of bible such as, New American Standard Bible, Jubilee Bible 2000 and … the word “slaughter” is used in place of “sacrifice”.]

 

King James Bible

For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

 

New American Standard Bible

For that day belongs to the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, so as to avenge him on his foes; and the sword will devour and be satiated and drink its fill of their blood; for there will be a slaughter for the Lord God of hosts, in the land of the north by the river Euphrates.

 

Also in Isaiah 53:7 an “oppressed” person is mentioned who “is brought as a “lamb” to the slaughter”:

 

Isaiah 53:7 King James Version (KJV)

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter …

 

 

Let us now see how the distortions came about and why Christians chose the title “lamb” for Jesus (SBUH):

 

When the jews (yahood) and christians (nasaara) at time of the Prophet Mohammad (SAWA) saw him, they recognized him clearly, as clear as they knew their own children, and they knew he (SAWA) was the one the Prophets Moses and Jesus (SBUT) had talked about and had commanded his obedience; and still many of their scholars are aware of this very vital and critical fact … but many of them knowingly have been rejecting the Prophet Mohammad (SAWA); as the Majid Qur’an reveals:

 

Qur’an 2:146 Those whom We have given the Book recognize him as they recognize their sons, and a party of them most surely conceal the truth while they know (it).

 

Please also refer to “Names of Mohammad and ‘Ali (SBUT) in the bible” in this site: kindfather.com, also as a part of the Ebook “Names and characteristics of Mohammad, ‘Ali, … and Mahdi (SBUT) in Jewish, Christian and Islamic documents”.

 

The jewish and christian scholars were, according to their scriptures, anticipating a “Promised Last Prophet” from the children of ISMAEL (SBUT), some thing many of them- out of jealousy and arrogance- did not like at all, for they, prejudicedly, did not want him to be from other than the children of Israel; they wanted the Promise to be fulfilled in Isaac and Jacob -Israel- (SBUT) whom they have been claiming to be physical or spiritual descendants of …  thus from the beginning under the temptations of Shaitan they had been concealing and distorting facts regarding this ever-Promised Progeny … and when the jewish and christian scholars saw and undoubtedly recognized the Prophet Mohammad (SAWA) and ‘Ali and Fatimah (SBUT) and therefore were worried for their worldly positions and … even more concealments and distortions occurred …

 

In addition to the above mentioned E-books please also refer to the E-book “The Najran Pact, Mobaahelah (Mubahilah)”, and “Story of Fakhr-Ul-Islam” also as a chapter of this Ebook, in this site: kindfather.com

 

In order to further achieve the goal of concealing the truth in regard to Mohammad (SAWA) they had to go back to his ancestor and firstly destroy the character of Hadrat Ismael (SBUH), the first son of Hadrat Ibrahim (SBUH), the forefather of the Prophet Mohammad (SAWA); So Ismael became a “donkey of a wild man” (NIV bible genesis 16:12) (may Allah forgive us for repeating this); in this regard, refer to “AhlulBayt (Salaam Be Upon Them, SBUT), the Promise of Enjil (Gospel), part 2” and “The Najran Pact, Mobaahelah (Mubahilah), Part 5”- also included in the above mentioned E-books- in this site: kindfather.com

 

Then … in the event of Allah’s command to Hadrat Ibrahim (SBUH) for sacrificing his son, they put Ishaaq (Isaac) in place of Ismael (SBUT) in order to conceal the identity of the Promised Prophet and his AhlulBayt who were going to be from Ismael (SBUT), and therefore making it appear that the covenant was only with Isaac (Ishaaq) and thus implying that the Promised Last and Foremost Prophet was also going to be from Is-haaq (SBUT) …

 

Let us now see if the bible itself agrees with what the jewish and christian scholars have been trying to make adherents to bible believe in this regard:

 

According to the bible, a general covenant was made with “Ibrahim himself” BEFORE EITHER OF IBRAHIM’S SONS, ISHMAEL AND ISAAC, WERE BORN. (Genesis 12: 2,3, and 7) … then Allah SWT chose Hadrat Haajar (Hagar, SBUH) to bear the FIRST BORN of Ibrahim, and ALLAH HIMSELF NAMED HIM ISMAEL (SBUT). (Genesis 16: 9 to 11) … then when Ismael was a child and Isaac was not yet born Allah SWT commanded Ibrahim (SBUH) to be a perfect servant so that a covenant may be made: " … LIVE (in other versions: WALK) ALWAYS IN MY PRESENCE AND BE PERFECT, so that I may set my covenant between myself and you and multiply your descendants". Abraham threw himself down on his face, and God spoke with him and said, "I make this covenant, and I make it with you: You shall be the father of a host of nations". "I will fulfill my covenant between myself and you and your descendants after you, generation after generation, an EVERLASTING COVENANT, to be your God, yours and your descendants' after you." (Genesis 17: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7) …

 

It is noteworthy to mention that some bible translations such as the New Living Translation of 17:1 in place of LIVE or WALK BEFORE GOD states, SERVE God FAITHFULLY (be an obedient servant of God), and in place of BE PERFECT states, LIVE A “BLAMELESS” (which according to Webster Unabridged Dictionary means guiltless, innocent) LIFE, I.E. INFALLIBLE, IN TOTAL SUBMISSION, A TRUE AND PERFECT MUSLIM (considering that the word Muslim means he who submits) …

 

Verse 2:131 of the Majestic Qur’an beautifully expresses Allah’s statement:

 

Qur’an 2:131 When his Lord said to him (Ibrahim), Be a Muslim, he said: I submit myself to the Lord of the worlds.

 

… Then according to the Bible, after the prophecy of the birth of Is-haq, Ibrahim expressed a very special interest regarding Ismael (SBUT) and said, 17:18 “O THAT ISHMAEL MIGHT LIVE BEFORE THEE.” I.e. requesting for Ismael the same thing God had asked from Ibrahim himself, that is, LIVING (WALKING) IN PRESENCE OF GOD, I.E. IN QURANIC TERMS: BEING A TRUE AND PERFECT MUSLIM.

 

The Majestic Qur’an asserts that Ibrahim and Ismael (SBUT) prayed:

 

Qur’an 2:128 Our Lord! and make us two Muslims for Thee …

 

THIS also confirms THE INFALLIBILITY OF ISMAEL (SBUH); IN DIRECT CONTRAST WITH the obviously malevolently distorted GENESIS 16:12 ACCUSING ISMAEL TO BE A DONKEY OF A WILD MAN!!!

 

Hadi ‘Ali Taghavi, a biblical researcher and scholar, in a Persian article titled: Twelve Imams in the Torah; a New Perspective on Abraham’s Glad Tidings in the Book of Genesis, published in 1392 Persian calendar, 2013 CE, emphasizes that LIVING or WALKING before God that Ibrahim specially requested for Ismael is a statement which in addition to Ibrahim and Ismael (SBUT) has also been used for Enoch, Noah, Isaac and David (SBUT) in the old testament of the bible. He also mentions that in some old Aramaic translations of the bible such as the NFT (NeoFitiTargum) WALKING BEFORE GOD is translated as being a true servant of God.

 

The Majestic Qur’an, indicates that Ibrahim enjoined his sons (SBUT) to be Muslims:

 

Qur’an 2:132 And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons … die not unless you are Muslims.

 

Hadi ‘Ali Taghavi draws attentions to a very important fact that according to the bible God made and promised the covenant of Divine Successorship with the chosen generation of those who WALK or LIVE BEFORE GOD … As seen in genesis 17:1 in which firstly God told Ibrahim to WALK BEFORE HIM then as the result God promised to make His covenant with Ibrahim and his children (SBUT). We at kindfather.com draw attentions to the very important point that Allah SWT specifically also emphasized upon perfectness and blamelessness (be PERFECT, live a BLAMELESS life); i.e. Allah has emphasized on the INFALLIBILITY of these Chosen Ones; and also to the fact that these Chosen Infallible descendants of Ibrahim (SBUT) who were to be Imams were True Servants of God, in total Submission, True and Perfect Muslims …

 

Mr. Taghavi states that this, in bible, is quite evident in case of David charging Solomon (SBUT) his son as his Successor:

 

1 Kings 2:1 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying … 2:3 And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to WALK IN HIS WAYS, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: 2:4 That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to WALK BEFORE ME in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the THRONE  of Israel.

 

Let us pay attention that it was promised if they were to WALK BEFORE GOD, they would be on the THRONE of Divine Leadership … in other words those special children who have been true and obedient servants of God, blameless and faultless, i.e. INFALLIBLE, TRUE AND PERFECT Muslims, have been promised to be the SUCCESSORS, the IMAMS …

 

According to the Majestic Qur’an and the Hadiths of the Infallible Ones, this being True Servants of God, being True and Perfect Muslims, has always meant the absolute obedience of Allah being perfected through the acceptance of the Allah-Bestowed Wilayat, Lordship and Authority, of Hazrat Muhammad and the AhlulBayt (SBUT); for instance in Verse 3 of Surah Maa’edah (5), in the event of Ghadir, it is clarified that with the acceptance of the Wilayat of Hazrat ‘Ali and his Infallible descendants (SBUT) “al-Islam” was declared to be the perfected Religion of Allah. According to Verse 2:124 Ibrahim (SBUH) was successful in all Trials and fulfilled and finished the Words , which according to Imam Sadiq (SBUH) Ibrahim (SBUH) completed and fulfilled the Words by the Qaaem, twelve Imams whom nine of them are from Hosain (SBUT) … (Behar, v. 7) …

 

Thus the requisite for being Chosen by Allah and having Authority and Wilayat from Allah, has always, from creation to eternity, been the acceptance of the Allah-Bestowed superiority and Lordship, the Wilayat, of Mohammad and the AhlulBayt (SBUT), the most exalted creations of Allah … please refer to the E-book :Ghadir, declaration of the Truth, from creation to eternity …
