We are happy to recommend this easy-to-read and understand 183-page paperback to Muslims and Christians alike to get and examine.

My only concern was the author’s failure to clearly articulate imputation. How a sinner is forgiven of their sins and made forever right with God the moment they believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as their own Saviour. And how they are forever kept saved by what the Lord Jesus Christ did for sinners, and not what sinners do for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here are my main points of interest from Moshay’s book:

• There are over 150 sects within Islam, with over 50 translations of the Quran (p. 7; 80).
• Surah 26:192-194 says Mohammed received the Quran from the Holy Spirit, but Surah 53:2-18 and Surah 81:19-24, say it came from “One mighty in power,” and that Mohammed saw him. Elsewhere Gabriel is said to have brought the Quran to Mohammed’s heart (Surah 2:97). Later we are told in Surah 15:8 that neither Allah, Gabriel or the Holy Spirit gave Mohammed the Quran, but multiple angels when he was alone in a cave (p. 15-16).
• Mohammed was involved in over 66 battles of which he led 27. He would kill 49 of his own tribesmen (p. 30).
• On Mohammed’s orders a critical poet of him and some former associates were murdered (p. 30-31).
• Less than six years after Mohammed’s death, his faithful followers conquered Jerusalem, killing 90,000 (p. 67).
• The El-Aksa Mosque is built on Abraham’s grave in Hebron. Mount Calvary where the sinless Son of God hung and died for the sins of the world is now a Muslim cemetery. Golgotha (the place of a skull, where tradition has it the head of Goliath was placed) is a busy Arab bus station (p. 68).
• The Quran says, “Jesus is the Spirit of God that came into Mary, His mother” (Surah 21:91).
• Eight times in the Quran Allah commands all of his angels to bow down and worship Adam (Surah 2:34; Surah 15:29-35), but not the Second Adam, that being of course the Lord Jesus Christ. (One of many discrepancies in the Quran).
• Allah curses Satan for not worshipping the first Adam. The Mormons also have an unhealthy and unbiblical love and adoration for Adam, a mere created being!
• Mohammed took his daughter-in-law away from his adopted son to be one of his many wives. And like King Henry VIII, he too was unable to produce a male heir.
• Muslim men are allowed to have “temporary wives” (prostitutes) during times of travel, etc, etc (p. 88).
• Mohammed had absolutely no idea where he would go when he died. Islam’s greatest “prophet” knew no more about where his eternal destination would be upon death than an unsaved man or woman in the street has. But the Quran does teach that all Muslims will have to spend some time in Hell, albeit temporarily before being allowed to enter paradise, where “women and wine” are eternally provided from “faithful men of Islam” (p. 93-96). The Catholic church also teaches a temporary holding area upon death for all Catholics, that being purgatory, before being released, albeit with much prayers and money from remaining loved ones.
• The god of Islam is very similar to the god of Calvinism, in that he is offered as not only being sovereign, something all Bible-believers affirm the God of the Bible to be, by the god of Islam seems to even ordain the very acts of sins a Muslim commits: “Verily Allah has fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in, and which he of necessity must commit” (p. 100).
• When Mohammed died, his followers were so sure he would be bodily resurrected they didn’t dig a hole for him (p. 123).
• If water is unavailable for a faithful Muslim to use when preparing for prayers, one must use either sand or earth to put on one’s face (p. 102-103).
• Hell is mentioned 83 times in the Quran, compared to 4 times for Heaven.
• Further discrepancies appear as to how long the earth took to create (p. 114-115).
• The Quran also has discrepancies about Jesus’ birth, death, and resurrection (p. 116).
• During the Dark Ages, a former Catholic turned convert to Islam wrote the spurious and heretical gospel of Barnabas (p. 118).
• When Muslims accuse those of “blaspheming Mohammed,” they are actually guilty of their own sin of shirk, meaning they have elevated Mohammed to the position (partner) with Allah.
• On one occasion Mohammed’s grandfather Abdul Muttalib nearly sacrificed his son Abdullah, Mohammed’s father, but not before consulting a female witch, who after spending several days in prayer with Allah, advised him against it.
