Mohebban Fatemeh

Today mohebban girls defended Islam against Christianity. To begin this debate, Sr, Naemeh acted as a Christian guest and brought up arguments that usually Christians use to attack Islam. Mashallah these little soldiers of Islam were full of energy and passion. They were able to come up with wonderful answers.

Our Christian guest asked, why do Muslims believe Jesus is not dead, when even in their Holy book  Jesus (PBH) says “Peace be upon me the day I was born, they day I will die and the day I will be resurrected”!!!

Sajidah immediately came up with a brilliant answer that the “death” mentioned by Prophet Jesus doesn’t mean that he was dead; it simply means that before the Day of Judgment, everyone will experience death and so will he.

Answering this question Muslims got a point. However, they were not able to convince our Christian guest when she asked the second question.. How can Prophet Muhammad (PBH) claim to be a Prophet, yet he didn’t have any miracles to prove his prophet hood?

Some girls came up with the answer that Quran is the miracle of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Though this is true, this answer can only convince a Muslim. Since, Christians do not believe in the Holy Quran, our Christian guest was not convinced. That meant one point for our Christian guest.

Another question asked from our Chrisitian guest was how can you prove that Quran is the word of God and not Prophet Muhammad’s (PBH)?

Dordaneh did a descent job answering this one; She said since there is only one scripture of the Quran, nothing can contradicts it.

It was a long  debate filled with so much excitement. Even our Muslim girls were able to challenge our Christian guest by asking good questions, such as how can you claim Jesus as God if you believe Jesus has died, if so then there would be no God anymore. Brilliant!!!!

At the end, Muslims got a total of three points and our Christian guest got only one. After the debate, we began further discussing some of the questions.

The answer to how can you prove that Quran is the word of God is that if the Quran was written by prophet Muhammad(PBH) then the center of the Quran would be Prophet Muhammad. Yet in the Quran, Allah mentions he is the center of the Quran “have Muhammad invented some words against us we would have caught hold of him by his right hand (69:44-45).

And the answer to what was the miracle of prophet Muhammad (PBH), was that you don’t need a miracle to believe in morality. . And this is what makes Islam  beautiful!!! Because Islam is so complete and logical, every truth seeking person will accept it. Therefore no miracle proof is necessary to accept the religion.

However, at the time of Prophet Moses and Jesus  people’s understanding was not as  fully developed as it was at the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBH), that’s why they needed to have a miracles to be convinced to Islam.

Until next debate… who can guess who will be our new guest?
