Da Vinci Code Broken?
Read Answers provided by Islam
Da Vinci Code controversy - It is everywhere! Dan Brown's book claims Jesus
in not divine or God, and the gospels as we know them, have been changed,
and after Jesus stay here on earth, men raised his status to the level of
God. Could any of this be true?
Ancient secrets of the Church, hidden for centuries have actually been
revealed and published in books prior to the fictional writings of Brown in
the Da Vinci Code. Baigent and Leigh have produced other books from
researchers point of view over the last two decades, including "Dead Sea
Scrolls Deception", "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", and "Messianic Legacy." These
books were the talk of the religious communities when they came out in the
early 90's and certianly they have fueled an ongoing interest into just
exactly who was this man Jesus, what was his message and what happened to
him?
Islam claims to "break the code" so to speak, over 1,400 years ago. The
answer, according to Muslm scholars has been in the Quran for over fourteen
hundred years
Some may be surprised to learn, Muslims believe in the miracle birth and
other miracles associated with Jesus. They actually consider him as the
"Messiah" and they even say, "peace be upon him" when mentioning his name.
However, they are quick to negate any connection between God and Jesus as a
partnership or God-head, and they rule out the notion of God having any son
(or daughter for that matter).
Here is how Muslim scholars present their understanding and "break the
code":
How Muslim scholars "broke the code":
Creation itself tells us there is a creator and from the beginning of time –
Allah, (the One God in Arabic) alone is to be worshiped. This is clear
teaching throughout the Old testament (Torah), the scriptures that Jesus
himself read and taught from. God is one not one of three; for example: ‘He
is God; there is no other besides Him’. (Deuteronomy 4:35). The same is
mentioned in the book of Mark in the New Testament, chapter 12, verse 29,
when Jesus, peace be upon him, had been asked about the Greatest Commandment
he replied, "To know, O Israel, the Lord your God is One Lord; and you have
to love Him with all your heart and all your mind and all your strength."
According to the oldest and most authentic copies of manuscipts and scrolls
available throughout the centuries, Jesus, peace be upon him, never claimed
to be God, or the creator, or the One to pray to, nor did he tell his
followers to revere him as God. These notions appear on the lips of others
who came along decades and even centuries later.
While Jesus was on earth he did not claim to be the creator or ask us to
revere him as God. His miraculous birth is a sign of his prophethood:
“Verily, the likeness of Jesus before Allah, is the likeness of Adam. He
(Allah) created him from dust and said “Be!” and he was” (Quran 3:59). Like
all the great and noble prophets of Allah such as Adam, Abraham, Moses,
Isaac and David, Jesus came with one message: Worship, love, obey and submit
to the one true God, Allah, the creator of everything and do not worship
anything besides Allah.
Throughout history, people have taken to worship things or people alongside
Allah, or just worshiping something else like power, status or money. Even
the names of religions seem have more to do with the creation and less or
nothing to do with the Creator. For example: Buddhism – Buddha (the name of
a man), Confucianism – Confucius (the name of a man), Hinduism – Hind (the
name of an area), Judaism – Judah (the name of a tribe) and Christianity –
Christ (the name of a great prophet).
Islam is different. Islam is a word coming from the verb "aslama" and it
carries the meaning of "surrender", "submission", "obedience", "sincerity"
and "peace" between you and Almighty Allah (God) and not to any human or
anything within creation. Anyone who practices Islam submits to and worships
Allah, alone without any partners of any kind.
The Quran states: "There is only One God (Allah) then have reverance for Me
and fear Me (and Me alone)." To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and
on earth, and to Him is duty due always: then will ye fear other than
Allah?" (Quran 16:51-52)
Isn’t it time you join Jesus, the son of Mary, along with all of the other
Prophets of Allah and practice the "Submission to the Will of God" (Islam)?
Or simply put: "Worship the Creator - and not His Creations!"
