25 December: The Actual Date of Birth of Jesus (Pbuh)?

Background: A False Prophecy
The Jews of Jerusalem were awaiting a Messiah, who would end their slavery against the Romans - the governors of Jerusalem (the holy city to Jews and later to Muslims and Christians) at that time. Jews were shocked to know about the birth of a girl instead of a boy on the night when Messiah was predicted to be born. The girl that was born in the house of Imran, was named Maryam (A.S) or Mary. Jews were disappointed at nature's decision and hence they never really gave Mary the due respect although she was a pious lady. When she gave a miraculous birth to Hazrat Eesa (A.S) or Jesus, they alleged her of adultery.

Reason Why Jesus was rejected by his own people:
Jesus was never accepted as a prophet by his own people because they were told in their distorted holy books that the Messiah would be from the lineage of Hazrat Daud (A.S) or David and since Jesus (A.S) was born without a biological father, his lineage was from his maternal grandfather (who was not from Daud's descendents).

Jesus was sent to Bani Israel, as a Muslim just like Moses:
One important clarification which even most of the Muslims today are unaware of is that Jesus was sent to Bani Israel, as a Prophet of Allah and as a MUSLIM. Jesus (PBUH) did not lay the foundation of Christianity. According to the New Testament of Holy Bible, Jesus has quoted the fact that he was sent to the 'Lost sheep of Israel'. Christianity never existed at the time of Jesus (PBUH) or before him. There's no doubt that Jesus (PBUH) was just one out of thousands of prophets that were sent to the people of Israel as Muslims.

Alleged Crucifixion that never really happened:
Jesus (PBUH) was given a scripture - Injeel (not the current bible), which was revealed to restore the true message of the distorted Toraat (Torah). Some of the influential but corrupt Jewish Rabbi's (just like Islamic Maulana's) saw this as a threat to their own agendas. They conspired with Roman authorities by implicating that Jesus of Nazareth was trying to brainwash the local people against the Jewish as well as against the pagan Roman religion. The authorities ordered to crucify Jesus (PBUH) however according to Islamic belief, they couldn’t do so and Jesus (PBUH) was lifted to the heavens alive.

12 Apostles of Jesus (PBUH):
The Question arises that how did the Christianity came into existence? Hardly 12 people, who are known as the apostles of Jesus Christ, embraced his message and after the alleged crucifixion, those apostles traveled across distant regions to preach the message of Jesus (PBUH) . The prominent apostles were Mark, Luke, Thomas, Matthews, John, Barrabas, Peter and Paul.

Reality of Barrabas, the Apostle: 
Out of the 12 apostles, Barrabas was more closer to Jesus and possessed the original Injeel. He also authorized the authentic compilation of life of Jesus (PBUH) but due to the propaganda of various origins - which is a separate debate, Barrabas is never considered to be a prominent apostle by the Christians today. The original injeel was taken from him and was kept hidden. He is portrayed as a thief in the modern Gospels, who was set free in a swap to the crucifixion of Jesus - a shameful example of historical inaccuracy. Such a portrayal of a prominent apostle gives rise to the suspicion overlying the Christian faith itself.

The Foundation of Christianity as a Religion:
Gospels were written by Luke, Mark, Matthews and John. All of them claimed that their Gospels were a word of God. Interestingly , each of the four Gospels contradict from one another at various places. Paul and Peter went to Rome and were able to convince a huge number of Pagan Romans to the teachings of Jesus (PBUH). Paul, famously known as Saint Paul, in additions to the original teachings of Jesus, also added various other aspects into his preachings. Hence, Saint Paul but not Jesus (PBUH), is the founder of Christianity. The religion of Paul spread like a wildfire.

Constantine the Roman becomes a Christian:
The Roman emperor, Constantine the Great, was converted to Christianity and so did the Roman empire. He called a gathering of the representatives of all the different sects of Christianity in 325 A.D. The sect which truly believed that Jesus (PBUH) was a true prophet of God still existed at that time but their numbers were scarce. Constantine burned all the different versions of Gospels except for the above mentioned four and made further changes in them. Real sample of Injeel was again kept hidden and was sent to Vatican.

 Sun God, Not the Son of God:
Constantine made the amendment in Christianity faith by imposing that Jesus was 'Son of God' (Nauzubillah). Constantine was of Pagan origin (worshiping different gods). It is to be noted that he never became a Christian by his heart. He used to worship 'The Sun god' who lived in 3000 B.C and was worshiped by Egyptian and Roman Pagans. The date of Birth of The Sun god according to Roman calendar was 25th December. Constantine killed two birds with one stone . For his Christian fellows, he associated this day of 'Sun God' as the day of 'Son of God (Jesus)'. Note the similarities between ‘sun’ and ‘son’ when you pronounce it. So basically he made half of the world's population to worship and remember his Pagan God instead of what people thought. Have you ever thought about Christianity’s Cross sign? Why would they symbolize their religion with something which is associated with the death of the person they brag about being as son of the God? Jesus was Crucified according to the Christians on a cross so why is it Holy for them? The answer is simple. Cross was a distinctive method of giving deaths to people by the Romans, and Constantine was a Roman.

Jesus (PBUH) was not born on 25th December: 
It is evident that Jesus (PBUH) was not born on 25th December. The forefathers of early Christians, the Jews, rejected the message of Jesus, raised fingers on his mother's character and helped the Roman pagans to crucify him. How could they note down the date when a son was born to a women whom they hated right from the day when she came into this world? They didn’t even accept Jesus as a prophet rather they accused him of blasphemy. His apostles were not even there at the time of his birth. So who could have given an exact date of the birth of Jesus (PBUH) when he was even rejected by his own people? Think about it. Do not glorify an ancient Pagan’s Sun god by thinking that Jesus was born on this day. 

This was a Historical background to prove that Jesus was not born on 25 December. The Religious proof from the Holy Quran on the same topic will discussed later.

Difference between an Israeli and a Palestinian Psychiatrist

Out of a few sessions that were attended by me in a recently concluded Congress of Psychiatry in Melbourne, It was a coincidence that I got to hear from both an Israeli as well as a Palestinian - people from a region which has always fascinated me for several reasons. A region of immense disputes and a region which is sacred for all three major monotheistic religions of the world. A region which would be the center of final battle between good and the evil according to Islam, Judaism and Christianity. As this region holds such a vital significance in the history and future of the world around us, I have always taken keen interest in this region and its inhabitants.

Jews/Zionists believe that they own a right to 'blossom' in the Holy Land (i.e. Jerusalem) from which they were expelled out twice in the history. They have returned to claim the Holy Land after 2000 years of scattering. The local Palestinians have been a subject to barbaric brutality since then. A stone up against an armed tank gives a complete picture of barbaric injustice.

Since I have been studying a lot about the history and the shaping up of present events into the prophesied future of this region, hearing from both major protagonists (Jew and a Palestinian Muslim) of the region, was a new experience. It was the first time that I attended a live session of an Israeli or a Palestinian - both came from same field - Mental Health.

The point on which I am going to emphasize is the comparison of the mental state of mind and priorities of both the Psychiatrists. Let's start with the Palestinian Psychiatrist. He was younger than his Israeli counterpart. He was understandably weaker in comparison and his face was reflecting the injustice he and his people have been suffering in all these years. He was able to attend the congress at last moment after been held up by Egyptian authorities for two weeks. He started off his talk by describing the current and historical background of disputed Gaza Strip. He carried on his talk by describing the impact of Israeli bombardment on children at school time and what hardships he and his team faced to overcome the post-traumatic stress disorder among the locals. He has an important task of rehabilitating the traumatized people of his community and makes them realize that Allah is with those who remain firm on their beliefs by turning to Him only - A point which he repeatedly emphasized during his talk.

On the other hand, R. Belmaker, A senior Israeli Psychiatrist, had no traumatic issues to tackle since Israeli control is too good for the local Palestinians, at least till the Almighty Allah turn the tables against the state of Israel (InshaAllah). Instead, Mr. Belmaker decided to present his research which, according to him, took the longest duration to complete. The research was about Female Genital Mutilation in Israeli Jews and Bedouins. The research was about how the Arabs and a few Jewish tribes circumcise their newly borned girls to deprive them of their excessive sexual drive, not necessarily in the same way in which male circumcision is carried out which is only physical but not sexual. Since Mr. Belmaker enjoyed a relaxed environment while Palestinians were being treated worse than a cattle flock, he could afford wasting his time by carrying out such a research which would have made no sense if he had to be a Palestinian Psychiatrist working in Gaza Strip.

The conclusion: Although being natives of the land, Palestinians are no more in a state of freedom which can only permit their Psychiatrists to overcome everyday trauma caused by Israeli cruelty rather than publishing research papers like Israeli Psychiatrists. On the other hand, Israeli public and Doctors are enjoying a tension-free life in which they can do whatever they want. Since their mental health workers do not have to face the bizarre situation of mental trauma as the Palestinians have to, they take up a research project such as in which they explore the female sexuality. Had they been treated the same way as Palestinians, their Psychiatrists would never have consumed so much time in carrying out such a research. Good and Evil can easily be judged by comparing the point of view of both Psychiatrists which represents their mental orientation.

May Allah give power to Palestinian Muslims to overcome the Israeli barbarianism. Ameen.

Armageddon inside a Boxing Ring

Judah against Khan. American against British/Pakistani. A born Jew against a Muslim. May be I should not mix a mere game of Boxing with religion but the name 'Judah' has compelled me to.

Judah- Name of one of the sons of Prophet Yaqoob (Jacob), May peace be upon his soul. Judah, also known as 'Yahooda', was also a tribe from which the Jews/Israelite have originated. The same Jews who were once the chosen people of Allah Almighty. The same people who were assured to have the blessings of a promised land (Jerusalem). The same people on whom Allah Almighty showered his countless bounties. The same people who were shown the destruction of Pharaoh's army in the sea in front of their own eyes. The same people who were sent into diaspora throughout the world due to their disobedience and their deadly crimes such as the distortion of Holy Torah and slaying the prophets. The same people who are back in the Holy land after 2000 years of wilderness. The same people who have been warned as the biggest threat to Islam according to a saying of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Zab Judah- born in a Black Hebrew Israelite family, and a reborn Christian, up against a British-Pakistan of Muslim Origin, Amir Khan, created a glimpse of Armageddon in the boxing ring. Armageddon will be a grand battle near the end of times between Muslims, Jews and Christians which would see the victory of Muslims by the will of Almighty Allah. Judah, with his religion changed and Amir with an amulet, self supplication and a patriotic kit, has just shown the world a sign of Allah's blessing towards those who believe in Him. The Americans, Jews and Christians have just witnessed a triumphant young lad who is about 10 years younger than Judah by the help of his faith in Almighty Allah.

The chaos in the Middle east is going to end up in Israel becoming a ruling state of the world. But then Muslims will be strengthened miraculously to end the rule of Israel in their home land. Just like Amir has defeated Judah in his home land. There's no comparison of a game with the divine decree of Muslims against the Jews but for those Muslims who have lost all their hopes by accepting their everlasting downfall, a ray of light can surely be seen if they take this game as a different game altogether.
