Allah and Elohim - Are they
the Same Go? - Part 17
Miracle Working God!
When we read the Bible we can understand how God
did mighty things time and time again. Bible tells us about the
God of the Bible as a miracle working God. And the Bible tells us
in Job 5:9, "Who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous
things without number."
When
the Angel of the Lord came to Gideon he asks the Angel, "where
are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, 'Did
not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?" (Judges 6:13)
He
did marvelous things from the beginning and these miracles followed
in every prophets and apostles lives but when we come to Quran we
can see that not a single miracle is reported by Mohammed. But Muslims
claim that Quran itself is a miracle of miracles. Allah himself
challenged repeatedly to bring a Sura like this as we read in:
Al-Baqara
(The Cow)
Sura 2:23, "And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed
from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Sura like thereunto;
and call your witnesses or helpers (If there are any) besides Allah,
if your (doubts) are true."
But
a few months back when one web site came up with the challenge and
showed many Surrat like it, the site owner got many threats and
finally discontinued from his host. Not only that, there are many
literatures, which not only meet the challenge of Allah but beat
the quality of Quranic verses. Bible's Psalms and Proverbs are more
fascinating and wonderful than Quranic Suras. Many great men and
women wrote poems but does it mean these literatures are miracle
or wonder from God?
God
of the Bible shows miracle working power from Genesis to Revelation
in the Bible. When the Israelites were in the wilderness they were
led by the mighty power of God. God led them with a pillar of fire
and a pillar of cloud and protected them from the Egyptian army
who was following them. Egyptian army could not catch them. When
they came near Red Sea God parted it in two and made a way in between
and the Israelites went to the other side of sea but the Egyptian
army was drowned in it. God fed them, gave them water to drink and
the Bible tells us that they never lacked anything. Bible also tells
us in Deuteronomy 29:5,"And I have led you forty years in the
wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals
have not worn out on your feet."
Oh,
what type of clothes and sandals it could have been that did not
wear out? Today we have all the modern technology but no sandals
can go for more than 2-3 years. Yes, God of the Bible is a miracle
working God. Today also He can do the same what He did for Moses
and Israelites. But if Allah is the same god then why he could not
do even a single miracle through Mohammed?
If
Allah is the same as the God of the Bible then he should have done
mighty miracles in the lives of people but we do not see any quality
of miracle working power in Allah. So it also proves that Allah
is not the Elohim/Yahweh God.
