Hi Nabil:

I appreciate your reply to my inquiry and have thought about it many times over the last year and think it is now time to answer. I think in all candor that if I replied on the street while preaching to a critic who requested that I illustrate history in advance in the Bible with an illustration with as many flaws as you have in yours I would be laughed off the street. Here is a response to your illustration:

As for narrations from Prophet Mohammad foretelling the future I’ll quote one that is pertaining to current situation. The Prophet said ” The nations shall gather around you like animals in the jungle gather around its prey.

I see Muslims increasing by the thousands all over the free world and being granted equal liberty in all countries. Where is an illustration of an animal around its prey? Is the “you” a reference to an individual or a nation? What nation is encircled by people wanting to devour the besieged nation? Iraq is costing the USA billions and no one from the USA wants to stay there and even the interpreters who helped the US Forces want to come to the USA to get out of Iraq!

Each nation wants to take a piece from you.

We are willing to buy your commodity (oil) just like the world buys our commodities (corn and pharmaceuticals). Trade is not evil on a national scale or individual. No one wants to take a piece of any Islamic nation. Israel had a legitimate right to the land if on no other grounds than the right of conquest (1450 BC) and perpetual dwelling upon it. Show me an illustration of the fulfillment of this point!

The companions asked is it because we (Muslims) will be few in number? He replied “No, you will be in large numbers but God will remove respect for you from the heart of your enemies and put the love of this world in your heart.”

It seems to me the USA has granted a nice life to any Muslim that arrives on our shores otherwise why would they come to this land. Who is “your enemies”? Do you feel persecuted? Have you made enemies? The statement is about your own apostasy from a love of God.

you will be in large numbers but God will remove respect for you

The statement says God does this to you because “put the love of this world in your heart.”

As far as a prophecy is concerned here it seems that Muslims are as far from this as they can be because their devotion to Islam exceeds most of the religious expression that the Western world exhibits. Most westerners do not pray 3 times a day in much of a devotional way and certainly don’t make a show of their religion on a regular basis. I would say that very few Muslims have put the love of this world in your heart.

The prophecy is a flop.

The Prophet said the truth. Muslims, leadership and general populous, don’t follow the true ways of Peace and thus we are in the tumultuous situation that we are in.

What are the “true ways of Peace”? Have you compared the Quran and the Bible’s way of peace?

It is shame to say that Muslims in general are competing in acquiring more commodities of this world and neglect the life hereafter.

If you don’t intend to neglect the life hereafter Jesus is the only leader to rise from the dead and the only leader who was written about before He arrived in over 39 books from over 1400 years (Probability of just 33 prophecies fulfillment is 1 to ten to the 256th power). He said he was the only way to heaven! So, you should investigate the prophecies of the Bible to see how they compare with the Quran and the Holy Bible.

He that hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son hah not life!

If you would like to study the Bible prophecies together let me know.

I’ll stop here, I know you did ask me to give a lecture.

Subject: Quotes from Prophet Mohammad (AS)

Greetings Mr. Lansing:
I ask God Almighty to keep you and your loved ones in good state of health and faith. And thank you for asking me about the last Prophet and Messenger to this world.

As for narrations from Prophet Mohammad foretelling the future I’ll quote one that is pertaining to current situation. The Prophet said ” The nations shall gather around you like animals in the jungle gather around its prey. Each nation wants to take a piece from you. The companions asked is it because we (Muslims) will be few in number? He replied “No, you will be in large numbers but God will remove respect for you from the heart of your enemies and put the love of this world in your heart.” The Prophet said the truth. Muslims, leadership and general populous, don’t follow the true ways of Peace and thus we are in the tumultuous situation that we are in. It is shame to say that Muslims in general are competing in acquiring more commodities of this world and neglect the life hereafter. I’ll stop here, I know you did ask me to give a lecture.

I picked up this narration just to show you that Prophet Mohammad (AS) foretold and warned us about straying away from the true peaceful nature of Islam. There are many more in the Quran which is the Word of God (SWT) but you asked for something from Prophet Mohammad (AS).

In Peace,
Nabil Bayakly
