A Rejoinder to Pope's Allegations Against Islam — Page 13
What kind of belief the Christians have in their prophets who were thieves and robbers? The prophets were sent by God to lead the human beings, if they were sinners, then what type of leadership these people had? If they were all sinners then how they were leading the sinners" can a blind, lead the blind? Is it what pope thinks, Islam was going to copy from them? No, not at all. Holy prophet of Islam introduced entirely different concept about the prophets, and this is what is brought by Muhammad (Peace be upon him), not copied from the Bible. It was all unique and new, unblemished, clean and pure. Holy Quran says about the prophets that they were all guided by God, pure and righteous. And this is how they guided the people toward piety and righteousness. Just compare the picture of the prophets painted by the Holy Quran and the Biblical image of the prophets. It is just to compare the broad day light with the thick dark patches of night. Holy Quran says; ~J , " ~ , , ,. ;JJ\; ~~~. yj J. i. y ~~ G-}j ~~ ~ y ~j ~~ ~ (~~jj // "" ,. ,;' " ," "". . . // / J J J J !;;. ;' /J ~\ ~~ :::JJ£j 0J)~j ~yj ~~~j y):\j 0~j /' /. ~~J" /,/ ~~\ ~ ~ ~~~jlS~j ~j 4';Jj // ".

Thus do We reward those who do good. And We guided Zachariah and John and Jesus and Elias; each one of them was of the righteous. " (HOLY QURAN 6:85-86) 13
