<center> Satanic Revelations </center>

..........Both the Bible and the Qur’aan claim to be the word of G-d. However both “revelations” contradict each other at nearly every point. For example the Bible teaches that G-d consists of three different personalities whilst the Qur’aan maintains that G-d is one.
The Bible teaches that Jesus was crucified whilst the Qur’aan teaches Jesus never died not was he killed. One of these two books is lying, but which? How can we find out which one is false and which one is truth?

..........If we had two books, book number one and book number two and book number one said that “Satan is an evil person and he must be rejected,” then, on the other hand book number two which said “Satan is a good, truthful being.” We already know that Satan is an enemy of G-d, so which one would be more logical to believe. Book number one that says Satan is an evil reject, or book number two which says Satan is a truthful blessed soul. This is where the science of logical reason comes into play.

Firstly let us examine the Qur’aan. The Qur’aan says in Sura an-Nahl (The Bee) verse 98:

<center>“When you recite the Qur’aan, seek refuge in G-d from the rejected Satan, indeed he has no power over those who believe…” </center>

..........It is clear from this verse in the Qur’aan that the Muslims are commanded to seek refuge in G-d from Satan before any commencement of reading the Qur’aan. I should imagine that Satan loves to be praised, if the Qur’aan was indeed a scripture from Satan, no such command would appear.

..........The Qur’aan goes further to even say that Satan is the greatest enemy to man (Qur'aan S.7:22 and S.12:5 and S.43:62) Therefore, given the facts, it is impossible for the Qur’aan to be from Satan and can be from no other than G-d Himself.

..........Secondly let us now analyse the Bible. We are told in the New Testament, Titus 1:2, that G-d can not lie, however, we find in 2 Thessalonians 2:11 That G-d deludes to people to believe deceit. Even Prophet Jeremiah complains of being deceived (Jeremiah 20:7).

..........Furthermore, according to the Bible G-d lies to Adam by telling him that he will die the very day he eats the fruit, however, when Adam ate from the tree he did not day in that day. In fact Adam died much later having lived nine hundred and thirty years according to Genesis 5:5.

..........Moreover, according to the Bible, Satan tells the truth when he told Eve “you shall surely not die… but you will be as gods, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:4-5). According to the Qur’aan Satan is portrayed as the ultimate deceiver (Qur’aan S.4:120; S.14:22; 17:64) whilst Allaah, the true universal G-d is upheld as the truthful one (Qur’aan S.4:122).

..........It is apparent from the evidence that the Bible and the Qur’aan contradict each other. Should we believe in a G-d that lies and a truthful Satan or a truthful G-d that rejects Satan as a outright liar? Should we follow a book that claims Satan is the G-d of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4) or Allaah the true universal G-d, Lord of the universe? (Qur’aan S.1:1).
