Noah's Ark: An Invitation to Faith — Page 105
NOAH'S ARK but also a heretic, and it was said that if this man were true then the whole of the Mosaic religion was false. Such were their dark ages, for the people were misled by false traditions. So, when reading the Hadith, one ought to keep in view the fact that a people of the past-on account of their lending greater authority to the traditions over the Torah-were led to a state where they rejected a true Prophet and declared him a heretic and the antichrist. Sahih Bukhari however, is a most blessed and valuable collection of Hadith for the Muslims. It is the very same compilation which states clearly that Jesus, peace be upon him, has passed away. Likewise, Muslim and other books of Hadith are also a treasury of religious knowledge and insight. It is incumbent to follow all such traditions as long as they do not contradict the Quran, a strident opponent. Not one of the Gospels which are attributed to the Messiah prophesise that after him Paul will repent and become an apostle. There is little need to write about Paul's character before his conversion, for the Christians are well acquainted with it. It is lamentable that for as long as the Messiah remained in his homeland, Paul caused him great grief. Yet after his deliverance from the cross when the Messiah migrated to Kashmir, the same person entered himself amongst his disciples on the pretext of a fabricated dream, and invented the doctrine of Trinity, and declared the flesh of swine as being lawful even though it was strictly forbidden in the Torah, and also made the consumption of wine a common practice. He entered the concept of Trinity into the doctrine of the Gospel so that all these innovations would ingratiate the idol-worshippers of Greece. (Author) 105
