2. Explain Genesis 1:2 and the spirit of Allaah.
Explain Job 38:4-38:7
The creation was seen by the angels in Job 38:4-38:7 because their mission would be to deliver the will of Allaah inside the creation.
When Allaah wants something done in the creation it is through the spirit of Allaah meaning the angel of Allaah.
Job 38:4 Where were you when I (Allaah) laid the foundations of the Earth? Say, if you know.
Job 38:5 Who determined the dimensions of it (the Earth, say), if you know? Or who stretched the line on it (as a base line from where the first construction of the Earth began)?
Job 38:6 Where on it were the foundations of it (the Earth) secured? Or who laid the corner-stone (that started the construction) of it (the Earth),
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together (meaning when the stars came into creation), and all the sons of Allaah (meaning servants of Allaah who are the angels) shouted for joy?
Note 1. Humans did not exist during the beginning of creation.
Note 2. During the beginning of creation the sons of Allaah meaning the servants of Allaah meaning the angels of Allaah meaning the holy spirits of Allaah existed.
Note 3. The angels of Allaah saw how Allaah made the creation as part of their training because angels will do the will of Allaah inside the creation.
Allaah trained the angels during the creation in the same way as Allaah trained Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden until they had the knowledge they would need to be the caretakers of the earth.
Note 4. During the beginning of creation in Job 38:7 “all the sons of Allaah” are the servants of Allaah meaning the angels of Allaah.
Psalm 148:2 Praise Him (Allaah, say) all His angels; praise Him (Allaah, say) all His hosts.
Psalm 148:3 Praise Him (Allaah, say) sun and moon; praise Him (Allaah, say) all stars of light.
Psalm 148:4 Praise Him (Allaah, say) highest heavens and the water that is above the heavens.
At the beginning of creation there was water in Genesis 1:2 below and there were the angels of Allaah in Job 38:4-38:7 above.
Allaah first shows the angels of Allaah called the sons of Allaah meaning the servants of Allaah or the holy spirits of Allaah how Allaah creates the creation because the holy spirits of Allaah will travel throughout the creation to do the will of Allaah.
Allaah will later show the angels of Allaah the creation of the first human because it will be the angels who will put the soul into the human body before birth and remove the soul from the human body at death.
The angels of Allaah called the holy spirits of Allaah are given the knowledge necessary to maintain the creation according to the will of Allaah which includes delivering knowledge of Allaah to the human heart (the human brain).
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning (13.8 billion years ago to 4.54 billion years ago) Allaah created the heaven (the sky) and the earth..
Genesis 1:2 Now the earth was unformed and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep (waters); and the spirit of Allaah hovered over the face of the waters.
Note 1. The spirit of Allaah represents the angel of Allaah and the angels are watching Allaah make the creation in Job 38:4-38:7 through the holy spirit of Allaah meaning the angel of Allaah because all the angels will need this knowledge of how to bring the will of Allaah into the creation.
Genesis 1:3 And Allaah said “Let there be light” and there was light (from the Sun 4.6 billion years ago).
Note 1. When Allaah speaks His word is brought to the creation through the holy spirit of Allaah as described in Deuteronomy 18:18 and Allaah is teaching all the angels how this is done.
Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (Allaah) shall raise up for them (the children of Israel) a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses Musa who delivered the Torah Taurat 3200 years ago when you were at Mount Sinai Horeb today in Egypt) from among their brothers brethren and I (Allaah through the Holy Spirit) shall put my (Allaah’s) words in the mouth of the prophet (meaning prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger), who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (Allaah) command him” (to speak to you).
See. The nature of Allaah in Deuteronomy 4:15 and Allaah has no form (below).
3. Explain Genesis 1:26 and Genesis 1:27
Man is created in the image of Allaah explained.
Nothing is like Allaah so how can man be created in Allaah’s image?
There is nothing like Allaah and at the same time humans are created in the image of Allaah who with kindness and mercy is the carer and the creator of the creation.
Son of Allaah means servant of Allaah in the same way as in the image of Allaah means to be merciful and kind like Allaah is merciful and kind and to possess a soul that can know Allaah.
Genesis 1:26 And Allaah said: 'Let us (Allaah and the angels as decreed by Allaah) make man in our image (where angels and men have been given a soul that can know Allaah in Genesis 2:7), in our likeness (in the same way the soul of angels can know Allaah); and let them (humans) have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth.'
Note 1. In the image of Allaah means Allaah gave humans a soul like angels have a soul that can know Allaah.
Note 2. In the image of Allaah means Allaah made humans to be the caretaker of the earth and the caretaker of the life on the earth and to be like Allaah who with kindness and mercy is the carer and the creator of the creation.
Genesis 1:27 And Allaah created man in His own image (where angels and men have been given a soul that can know Allaah in Genesis 2:7) in the image of Allaah He created him (as a caretaker of the Earth in Genesis 1:26 and Genesis 1:28); He created them (humans) male (Adam) and female (Eve).
Genesis 1:28 And Allaah blessed them (Adam and Eve meaning Allaah forgave their sin); and Allaah said to them (Adam and Eve): 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that crawls on the earth.'
Note 1. In Tanakh Jewish scripture Allaah blessed Adam and Eve meaning Allaah forgave their sin and Allaah told Adam and Eve to have children and to be the caretakers of every living thing on the earth in Genesis 1:28 and to be caretakers over all the earth in Genesis 1:26.
Note 2. In the Quran Adam and Eve ask Allaah for forgiveness and Allaah forgave their sin in Quran 2:37, Quran 7:23 and Quran 20:121-20:122.

4. Explain Genesis 2:2 and Genesis 2:3
Allaah rested on the seventh day explained.
Allaah is never tired so what does Allaah rested on the seventh day mean?
Quran 50:37 explains that Allaah is not tired meaning the word rest in relation to Allaah in the Torah and the word throne in relation to Allaah in the Quran are not to be taken literally because Allaah is not a body which needs to rest on a throne.
Quran 10:3 Koran 10:3 Your Lord is Allaah who created the Heavens and the Earth in six Days, then He (Allaah) established Himself on the Throne, directing all things.
The Tanakh Jewish Scripture and the Quran explain that resting on the seventh day means completed the creation.
Allaah commanded the Hebrew people to stop creating on the seventh day of each week as a sign between Allaah and the children of Israel forever meaning as a sign of remembrance of the existence of Allaah in every generation of the Jewish people until the Day of Judgement.
Isaiah 59:21 And as for Me (Allaah), this is My covenant with them (the Jewish people who are mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13), said the LORD; My spirit that is on you (the Jewish people), and My words (the Torah) which I (Allaah) have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed (off-spring), nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed (descendants), said the LORD, from now and forever.
Note 1. The promise of Allaah that the Torah is protected forever.
Isaiah 36:11 Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh: 'Please speak to your servants in the Aramaic language, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the Jews' language, (in case it is heard) in the ears of the people that are on the wall (surrounding Jerusalem).
Note 1. The word Jew is used by Prophet Isaiah meaning the promise of Allaah in Isaiah 59:21 that the Torah Taurat is protected forever is to the Jewish people.
Note 2. See the future of the Jewish people explained in Isaiah 53.
https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/isaiah-53-explained
Isaiah 36:12 But Rabshakeh (the officer representing Sennacherib the King of Assyria) said: 'Has my master (the King of Assyria) sent me to your master (the King of Judah), and to you (the representatives of the King of Judah), to speak these words? Has he (the King of Assyria) not sent me to (speak to) the (Hebrew) men that sit on the wall (surrounding Jerusalem, and speak these words in Hebrew to them warning that our Army will blockade Jerusalem and that they will have) to eat their own dung and to drink their own urine with you (if you do not give Jerusalem to us)?'
Isaiah 36:13 Then Rabshakeh (the officer representing the King of Assyria) stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language (of Hebrew to the men on the wall surrounding Jerusalem), and said: “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Note 1. The word Jew is used by Prophet Isaiah meaning the promise of Allaah in Isaiah 59:21 that the Torah Taurat is protected forever is to the Jewish people.
Note 2. The past and present and future of the Jewish people explained in Isaiah 53.
https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/isaiah-53-explained
Torah Deuteronomy 5:12 (The Fourth of the Ten Commandments from Allaah) Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the Lord your Allaah commanded you.
Note 1. The Sabbath is a covenant agreement between the children of Israel and Allaah forever in every generation.
Torah Exodus 31:13 (Moses) speak to the children of Israel, saying: You shall keep My (Allaah’s) Sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me (Allaah) and you throughout your generations, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctify you (by showing you holy behaviour).
Torah Exodus 31:16 So the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath and observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a perpetual (never ending) covenant (agreement with Allaah).
Torah Exodus 31:17 It (the Sabbath) is a sign between Me (Allaah) and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD (Allaah) made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He (Allaah) ceased from work and rested (rested means completed the creation and this is why the Sabbath is a day of rest and remembrance of Allaah on every seventh day).'
Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day Allaah finished His work which He had made; and He rested (meaning completed His work and stopped creating) on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.
Genesis 2:3 And Allaah blessed the seventh day, and made it holy; because in it He rested (meaning completed His work and stopped creating) from all His work which Allaah in creating had made.
Note 1. “Allaah rested” means Allaah completed the creation and stopped creating.
Note 2. In the same way as Allaah created daily work for humans so also on the seventh day Allaah created the Sabbath day meaning a day of rest from work when humans stop creating.
Quran 2:255 Koran 2:255 “… He (Allaah) is never sleepy and He (Allaah) does not sleep” …. “He (Allaah) never feels tired …”
Quran 10:3 Koran 10:3 Your Lord is Allaah who created the Heavens and the Earth in six Days, then He (Allaah) established Himself on the Throne (of authority over His creation), directing all things ..."
Quran 2:40 Koran 2:40 O Children of Israel (the Jews, the Hebrews), remember My (Allaah’s) favour which I (Allaah) put on you (in the Torah covenant in Deuteronomy 31:9, Deuteronomy 4:13, Deuteronomy 28:69, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 7:9-7:12 commanding that no one shall add or subtract from the Torah in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 13:1 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 12:32 in a Christian Bible and forever in Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, Psalm 111:9, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people who are mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 and Quran 2:40)? Fulfill My covenant (in the Torah) and I (Allaah) will fulfill your covenant (in the Torah) and fear (no one but) Me (Allaah. A false prophet will believe the word of Allaah has changed in Deuteronomy 13:2-13:4 and 1 Kings 13:14-1 Kings 13:24. Paul is a false prophet because he teaches the word of Allaah in the Torah changed in Romans chapter 7 and teaches new words that cannot be found in the Torah. Muhammad is a true prophet because he confirms Allaah orders Jews to follow the Torah Taurat in Quran 2:40 and Jews be protected as “the people of the book.” Jews who follow their book and also believe the Quran are promised a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allaah and the Hebrew people forever).
Quran 2:41 Koran 2:41 And believe in what I (Allaah) have revealed (in the Quran) confirming that which is with you (the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat as proof to the stone idol worshipers of Makkah in Quran 6:114, Quran 46:10 and Quran 10:94 that the Quran is not an invented story) ..."
Video 1: Rabbi Tovia Singer exposes doctrine that claims Shabbat is calculated by the phases of the Moon!
Start at 12 minutes 15 second 12:15 Allaah rested on the seventh day means Allaah completed the creation means Allaah stopped creating and this is remembered by Jews who rest or stop their creations meaning stop working on the seventh day called the Sabbath day from Friday evening to Saturday evening.

5. Explain Genesis 2:17
Explain Genesis 5:5
On the day that you eat it you will die.
When Adam had everlasting life (so that every human who descends from Adam knows that humans can have everlasting life) Adam was told in Genesis 2:17 that on the day Adam does what Allaah has commanded him not to do Adam will loose his everlasting life and his new life will include death (so that every human who descends from Adam knows that Allaah rewards good behaviour and punishes bad behaviour) and in Genesis 5:5 after a life of 930 years Adam died fulfilling the prophecy in Genesis 2:17 meaning Adam died knowing about the existence of everlasting life.
Genesis 2:17 explains the difference between everlasting life and a life with death in Genesis 5:5.
In Isaiah 1:16 - 1:18 Allaah tells humans to reason and know that when you repent and return to good behaviour all your sins are forgiven.
Adam and Eve were trained in the Garden of Eden until they had the knowledge and experience necessary to become the caretakers of the Earth.
The first human sin forgiven by Allaah was the sin of Adam and Eve so that everyone knows Allaah forgives the repenter who returns to doing good deeds.
The story of Adam and Eve and their children is teaching that humans can overcome sin in Genesis 3:15 and Genesis 4:7 meaning Allaah rewards good behaviour.
In the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve understood that humans have the capability of everlasting life represented by the tree of life in the same way as they were given knowledge of good and evil represented by the tree of knowledge meaning Adam and Eve understood the knowledge of good and evil and forgiveness of sin through repentance which existed from the beginning of time and was confirmed to later generations in Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, 1 Kings 8:46 - 8:50, Ezekiel 18:20 - 18:23, Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 6:6, Hosea 14:2 - 14:3 and Micah 6:6 - 6:8.
There was no death in the Garden of Eden.
The day (Genesis 2:17) Adam ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil his training to take the position of caretaker of the Earth was completed and he was put on the Earth.
The day (Genesis 2:17) Adam was put on the Earth was the day he would not live forever and he died at the end of his life (Genesis 5:5) on the earth.
Genesis 2:17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you (Adam) shall not eat of it; because in the day that you (Adam) eat of it you (Adam) shall surely die.
Genesis 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he (Adam) died (within one day in the sight of Allaah where one day for Allaah is like 1000 years for humans in Psalms 90:4 and Quran 32:5).
Psalms 90:4 A thousand years mean nothing to You (Allaah), they are only a day gone by or a few hours in the night.
Quran 32:5 Koran 32:5 He (Allaah) regulates the affair of the heaven (by sending the angels and the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel Jibril) to the earth; then it (the report of this affair delivered by the angels and the Holy Spirit) will ascend to Him (Allaah) in a day, the measure (duration) of which is (like) a thousand years by your (human) measurement (meaning one day for Allaah is like 1,000 years for humans meaning one thousand years of regulating the affairs of the heaven to the earth is like a day’s work for Allaah meaning if humans live for 100 years then ten generations of humans have passed away in the sight of Allaah in one day meaning 10 generations of humans have lived and died in the sight of Allaah in 1 day meaning everything that humans and angels do in one thousand years is like one day for Allaah meaning that in the existence of Allaah a thousand years for humans are like one day's work for Allaah or a thousand years for humans is like a few hours in a human night for Allaah or a thousand years for humans is like a few minutes in a human day for Allaah or a thousand years for humans is like one human second for Allaah or a thousand years for humans is like a millionth of a human second for Allaah or a thousand years for humans is like a billionth of a human second for Allaah because time does not apply to Allaah. Allaah created time. Time only applies to the creation. Allaah is not a creation. Allaah is the creator. Time does not apply to Allaah because Allaah knows the past and present and future. Time only applies to creations that are born and die. Time does not apply to the creator who was never born and will never die).

6. Explain Genesis 3:8-3:9
Allaah walking in the garden explained.
Allaah does not have feet so how can Allaah walk in the garden?
Adam and Eve hid because they heard the sound of Allaah moving “walking” in the garden in Genesis 3:8-3:9
The Tanakh Jewish Scripture says Allaah is not a man and the Quran says nothing is like Allaah so although many Bibles use the word walking a better translation of that Hebrew word is moving.
Genesis 3:8 They heard the sound of the Lord Allaah moving about in the garden at the cool time of the day (so that Allaah could show what they would do); and the man (Adam) and his wife (Eve) hid from the Lord Allaah among the trees of the garden.
1. Jewish scripture translates this Hebrew word as moving in the garden in the Sefaria Tanakh Jewish scripture.
2. Jewish scripture translates this Hebrew word as going in the Garden in the Chabad Tanakh Jewish scripture.
3. Allaah is not a human in Numbers 23:19 means Allaah was moving or going in the garden in Genesis 3:8.
Allaah says He is not a man therefore moving or going are more accurate translations of this Hebrew word.”
4. Movement can sound like walking.
5. Allaah created the sound of movement and Adam and Eve hid themselves.
6. Adam and Eve hid from the sound of Allaah because they had eaten from the tree of knowledge.
In Judaism and Islam Allaah has no form.
Deuteronomy 4:15 Be careful of yourselves (by remembering that) you saw no manner of form on the day that the LORD spoke to you in Horeb (Mount Sinai) out of the midst of the fire (meaning Allaah has no form because you heard Him but you did not see anything)
Deuteronomy 4:16 in case you deal corruptly and make a graven image (of Allaah) in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female (which is forbidden in the Ten Commandments of Allaah).
Note 1. The belief that Allaah is in the form of a man results in the making of statues of Allaah in the form of a man which Allaah calls corruption.
Note 2. When humans make images in places of worship other humans start idol worshipping those created images instead of worshipping only Allaah who is not a creation because Allaah is the creator of every creation.
Note 3. No creation is Allaah.
Note 4. Allaah is not in the form of a man.
Note 5. All things with form are creations made by Allaah.
Note 6. Allaah has no form because Allaah is not a creation but is the creator.
Note 7. Allaah created angels meaning messengers to deliver the sights and sounds of Allaah to the creation.
Note 8. In Tanakh angels and prophets and judges are called Allaah not meaning they are Allaah but meaning they represent Allaah by delivering the message of Allaah and the judgements of Allaah.
Walking, moving or going does not mean Allaah physically walked or moved or went somewhere in the same way as calling prophets or angels or judges Allaah does not mean they are physically Allaah.

What is the Nephilim?
What is the son of Allaah?
Who is the son of Allaah?
What are the sons of Allaah?
Who are the sons of Allaah?
The Tanakh Jewish Scripture says Allaah will punish the son of Allaah if he commits wrong doing and the Quran says everyone comes to Allaah as a servant confirming the son of Allaah means the servant of Allaah.
A. The Nephilim meaning the fallen ones is a wicked son of Allaah meaning an unwilling servant of Allaah such as a prince, judge or king who fell because of their wicked behaviour and lost the mercy of Allaah.
B. A righteous prince, judge, king, prophet or messiah is a righteous son of Allaah meaning a willing servant of Allaah.
C. Angels are the righteous sons of Allaah meaning a willing servant of Allaah.
D. Every creation is the son of Allaah meaning a willing or unwilling servant of Allaah.
The Quran warns people not to confuse the words "son of Allaah" to be literally a real biological son of Allaah by remembering that its only meaning is "servant of Allaah."
In the Torah humans sometimes obey Allaah and sometimes disobey Allaah.
In the Torah angels never disobey Allaah.
A. An example where the son of Allaah is a wicked human servant of Allaah.
In Genesis 6:4 the Nephilim “were in the earth in those days” (of Prophet Noah before the flood) ”and also after that” (meaning today there are people who have lost the mercy of Allaah whenever people today do what people in the past did),
In Genesis 6:4 the Nephilim “were the mighty men of the past who were the men of renown.”
Genesis 6:1-6:5 tells us that Nephilim is about people with power who were well known in their time who fell from the mercy of Allaah because of their wicked behaviour.
Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,
Genesis 6:2 that the sons of Allaah (meaning the servants of Allaah such as princes, judges, kings and other people with power) saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took (without permission by rape) whoever they chose as wives.
Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said: “My spirit (the soul placed inside man) shall not stay in man forever, because he is also flesh; therefore his days (of life on the earth) shall be a hundred and twenty years.”
Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim (meaning the fallen ones who were powerful people who fell from the mercy of Allaah because of their wicked behaviour) were in the earth in those days (of Prophet Noah Nuh before the flood), and also after that (meaning today there are people who have lost the mercy of Allaah whenever people today do what people in the past did), when the sons of Allaah (meaning the servants of Allaah such as princes, judges, kings and other people with power) came into the daughters of men (without permission by rape), and they bore children to them; these (Nephilim sons of Allaah meaning the fallen servants of Allaah such as princes, judges, kings and other people with power) were the mighty men of the past who were the men of renown (powerful people who did evil and were famous among people of their time).
Note 1. "There were giants in the earth in those days ..." in the KJV bible is a wrong translation of the Hebrew.
Genesis 6:5 And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually (because humans followed the evil example of their leaders).
Psalm 29:1 A Psalm of David. Ascribe to the LORD, O sons of the mighty (the powerful princess of the land), ascribe to the LORD (Allaah) glory and strength.
When you read “Allaah sits on the throne” it does not mean Allaah has a body and sits on a chair.
Throne means authority meaning Allaah has authority.
In Genesis 6:6 Allaah used the word “regret and grieved and heart” not meaning Allaah has a heart or regrets or grieves but only so man can understand that Allaah is not pleased when man does evil
Genesis 6:6 And the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He became grieved in His heart.
In Genesis 6:8 Allaah used the word favour because Allaah wants man to understand that Allaah saves righteous people
Genesis 6:8 But Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord.
B. An example where the son of Allaah is a righteous human servant of Allaah.
2 Samuel 7:14 I (Allaah) will be to him (the messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman) for a father, and he (the messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman) shall be to Me (Allaah) for a son; if he (the messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman) commit wrong doing, I (Allaah) will punish him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;
Note 1. The messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman is the son of Allaah means the servant of Allaah.
Note 2. Allaah will be his father and the messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman will be His son meaning Allaah's servant.
Note 3. If the messiah does wrong then Allaah will punish him like a father punishes his son.
Note 4. The messiah anointed King David Dawud is the son of Allaah means the servant of Allaah.
Note 5. Allaah will be his father and the messiah anointed King David Dawud will be His son meaning Allaah's servant.
Note 6. If the messiah does wrong then Allaah will punish him like a father punishes his son.
Note 7. Every messiah is the son of Allaah meaning the servant of Allaah.
Note 8. Allaah will be his father and the messiah will be His son meaning Allaah's servant.
Note 9. If the messiah does wrong then Allaah will punish him like a father punishes his son.
C. An example where the sons of Allaah are human judges.
Psalm 82:6 I said “You (human judges) are are gods (meaning judges) and all of you (human judges) are sons of the most High (Allaah, meaning human judges are servants of Allaah).”
Exodus 21:6 his master shall bring him to god (meaning to the judges, to the court) ..."
Exodus 22:8 “… both parties shall come before Allaah (meaning the human judges), he whom Allaah (meaning the human judges) shall condemn shall pay double to his neighbour.
D. An example where the sons of Allaah are the angels of Allaah.
Job 38:4 Where were you when I (Allaah) laid the foundations of the Earth? Say, if you know.
Job 38:5 Who determined the dimensions of it (the Earth, say), if you know? Or who stretched the line on it (as a base line from where the first construction of the Earth began)?
Job 38:6 Where on it were the foundations of it (the Earth) secured? Or who laid the corner-stone (that started the construction) of it (the Earth),
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together (meaning when the stars came into creation), and all the sons of Allaah (meaning servants of Allaah who are the angels) shouted for joy?
Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (Allaah) except as a servant.
E. Nephilim in the book of Enoch.
The book of Enoch claims the Nephilims are fallen angels.
The Nephilim are explained in the Torah and they are not fallen angels.
See Genesis 6:1 explained.
There are no fallen angels in Judaism and Islam meaning angels do not rebel against Allaah.
Both main-stream Judaism and main-stream Christianity and Islam do not accept the book of Enoch as canonical (sacred) or inspired.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Enoch#Canonicity
F. Nephilim in Psalm 145
The first word of each verse in Psalm 145 uses a letter of the alphabet however in Psalm 145:14 the word starting with the letter Nun or N is missing.
The word starting with the letter Nun or N meaning Nephilim describes those who fall (from righteousness) is missing to highlight it so that humans remember to avoid falling from righteousness.
Psalm 145:14 where the letter in this verse should start with the letter Nun or N meaning Nephilim does not so as to highlight the message in Psalm 145:14 "The Lord holds up all that fall and raises up all those who are bowed down (and asking Allaah to forgive their sin so that they may return to righteous behaviour as explained in Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, 1 Kings 8:46-8:50, Ezekiel 18:20-18:23, Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 6:6, Hosea 14:2-14:3 and Micah 6:6-6:8).

8. Explain Genesis 6:1
Explain Genesis 19:29
Explain Allaah remembered.
When you read “Allaah sits on the throne” it does not mean Allaah has a body and sits on a chair.
Throne means authority meaning Allaah has authority.
When Allaah remembers it does not mean that Allaah forgot and then remembered.
Remembered means Allaah did not forget.
Genesis 8:1 Allaah remembered Noah,
Genesis 19:29 Allaah remembered Abraham
9. Explain Genesis 20:12
Explain Genesis 20:13
Explain Abraham married his sister.
Explain Ibrahim married his sister.
Explain Prophet Abraham married his sister.
Explain Prophet Ibrahim married his sister.
How could Prophet Abraham commit incest?
How could Prophet Ibrahim commit incest?
1. The children of Adam and Eve married their full brothers and full sisters meaning the children of Adam and Eve had the same father and the same mother.
Genesis 5:4 ".. and He (Adam) had sons and daughters.
2. Sarah is the half sister of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim meaning they had the same father but different mothers.
Genesis 20:12 And (Abraham Ibrahim said) moreover she (Sarah) is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and so she became my wife.
Genesis 20:13 And it came to pass, when Allaah caused me (Abraham Ibrahim) to wander from my father's house, that I said to her (Sarah): Through your kindness which you (Sarah) shall show to me at every place where we shall come, say of me: He is my brother (because men kill the husbands of beautiful women to make them their wife).'
3. The Torah Taurat shows how the laws of marriage have changed since the first marriage between the brothers and the sisters of Adam and Eve.
4. The only human created from clay was Adam in the Garden of Eden.
The only human created from Adam was Eve in the Garden of Eden.
All humans created after Adam and Eve were put on the earth were through sexual union.
There were no other humans on the earth except what came from Adam and Eve and this is why Adam and Eve are the father and mother of every human.
If Allaah had created other humans like Allaah created Adam and Eve then all humans would not come from one common mother (Eve) and one common father (Adam).
There is no way for all humans to come from Adam and Eve without sexual union between full-sisters.and full-brothers in the time of Adam and Eve.
Allaah tells us that the common ancestor of humans is Adam and Eve meaning every human in the world is a descendant from the union of the full-brothers and full-sisters of Adam and Eve.

10. Explain Genesis 22:2
Why Allaah said take your only son Isaac when the only son for 13 years was Ishmael.
Why Allaah said take your only son Ishaq when the only son for 13 years was Ismail.
Why Allaah said take your only son Prophet Isaac when the only son for 13 years was Prophet Ishmael.
Why Allaah said take your only son Prophet Ishaq when the only son for 13 years was Prophet Ismail.
Genesis 22:2 And He (Allaah) said: “Take your son, your only son (who still lives with you, reminding him that Allaah had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into Allaah’s care in the desert in Genesis chapter 21 meaning Ishmael Ismail was not living with Abraham Ibrahim in Genesis chapter 22 when Allaah is testing Abraham Ibrahim a second time to show if Abraham Ibrahim will give Allaah his second son who is the only son still living with him after Abraham Ibrahim gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21), whom you love (Allaah makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave Allaah one son in Genesis chapter 21 and reminding him of his love for these sons), even (namely, that is) Isaac Ishaq and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I (Allaah) will tell you. (Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah the only son who is living with him after he already gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21. Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah both his sons?).
Epistle of James 2:20 You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?
Epistle of James 2:21 Was not our ancestor Abraham Ibrahim considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac Ishaq on the altar?
Epistle of James 2:22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together and his faith was made complete by what he did.
Quran 13:39 Koran 13:39 (In 1 Samuel 15:29 Allaah does not change His mind promises covenants agreements because only humans change their mind promises covenants agreements so the Jews asked Prophet Muhammad about the Torah and the Quran. Allaah revealed that Allaah confirms His covenant with the Jewish people in Quran 2:40-2:40 which is the Torah Taurat until the Day of Judgement as Allaah promised in Quran 2:40-2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 - 3:115, Quran 5:69, Exodus 2:24, Leviticus 26:44-26:45, Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 7:7-7:8, Deuteronomy 12:1, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, 2 King 13:23, Psalm 19:8-19:12 in Jewish Tanakh or Psalm 19:7-19:11 in Christian Old Testament Bible, Psalm 111:7 - 111:9, Hosea 3:4-3:5, Daniel 12:2, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 and Allaah revealed that) Allaah eliminates (from the Quran the laws which are only binding on the Jewish people such as the Sabbath Day) and confirms what He (Allaah) wills (in the Quran which confirms the Torah which is in the hands of the Jewish people until the Day of Judgement in Quran 2:40-2:41 and explaining the story of Jesus which is in the four reports that are in the hands of the Christian people until the Day of Judgement in Quran 5:46-5:47 and Allaah told the Jewish people to observe the Torah Taurat and told the Christians to observe the Gospel Injil in Quran 5:68. Allaah reminded the Jewish people in the Quran to observe the Sabbath and confirmed Prophet Ezra is a human servant of Allaah like every human is a willing or unwilling servant of Allaah. Allaah reminded the Christian people in the Quran that Prophet Jesus is a human servant of Allaah like every human is a willing or unwilling servant of Allaah) and with Him (Allaah) is the Mother of the Book (the Preserved Tablet, Al-Lauh al-Mahfuz which contains the basis of each Scripture as Allaah intended in the Torah Taurat for the Jews and the four reports about Jesus Isa in the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John which are with the Christians and the Quran which is with the Muslims as explained in Quran 2:106, Quran 5:48 and Quran 7:170. Allaah protects the Jewish Scriptures that are with the Jewish people until the Day of Judgement as shown in the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 where Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq and leaves no other blessings in the story of the sacrifice and this famous vision dream is remembered in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 where Allaah blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq with the vision dream in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and shows in the next verse that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son in the vision dream and Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not living with his father during the vision dream by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the blessing of the vision dream in Quran 38:48. This is confirmed in Quran 12:6 and in Torah Genesis 22:2 “And Allaah said: Take now your son, your only son” who still lives with you, reminding him that Allaah had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into Allaah’s care in the desert, “whom you love” Allaah makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave Allaah one son and reminding him of his love for these sons, “even” namely, that is “Isaac Ishaq and go into the land of Moriah” today in the Temple and Al-Aqsa mosque area in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Israel and Palestine; “and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I Allaah will tell you of.” The proof Allaah is real is the Quran confirming the Torah Taurat is correct in Quran 2:41 “And believe in what I Allaah have revealed” in the Quran “that confirms what you already have” in the Torah Taurat and in Quran 3:93 “… Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it as evidence if what you say is true" and in Quran 5:43 “How is it that they come to you for judgment when they have the Torah Taurat in which Allaah has already revealed to them judgment …” and Quran 5:68 “… You the Jewish people have nothing until you observe the Torah Taurat …” as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA so hold tightly to what Allaah is teaching in the Quran and beware of stories which contradict the Books of Allaah. Allaah explains the story of Jesus which is in the hands of the Christian people by explaining in the Quran what the human eye could not see without adding anything to the story in the Gospel of what the human eye saw in the story of Prophet Jesus Isa in Quran 3:144 see Quran 5:75, Quran 4:157, Quran 4:158 see Quran 39:42, Quran 5:75 see Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 see Quran 7:6, Quran 7:6 see Quran 5:117, Quran 21:95 see Quran 23:99 – 23:100, Quran 33:40 see Gospel of Jesus Isa by Mark 13:5 – 13:6, 13:21 – 13:22 and Quran 39:42 see Quran 4:158. In Quran 3:144 and Quran 5:75 see “passed away” in the Quran always means died see in Quran 2:134 and Quran 2:141 and Quran 7:38 and Quran 13:30 and Quran 41:25 and Quran 46:17. The Quran gives humans freedom to find their religion).
Note 1. In Quran 2:106 Allaah says the Quran is similar to what is with the Jewish people or better and this is explained in Quran 13:39 where Allaah does not include in the Quran some laws that are binding only on the Jewish people.
Quran 38:45 Koran 38:45 And mention Our (Allaah’s) servant Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel (who were), men with strength (of faith in Allaah) and vision (to understand the meaning of dreams).
Note 1. Allaah remembers the famous vision dream of the sacrifice of Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
Quran 38:46 Koran 38:46 We (Allaah) chose them (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) for an exclusive (quality which is their) remembrance of the home (in the hereafter which is the final destination after death).
Quran 38:47 Koran 38:47 And indeed they (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) to Us (Allaah) from the chosen ones are the best (of humans).
Quran 38:48 Koran 38:48 And mention Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Elisha Al-Yasa and Prophet Ezekiel Zulkifl Dhul-Kifl. All are among the chosen (prophets of Allaah).
Note 1. After the story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 Allaah confirms in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 that the father and son in the dream of the vision of the sacrifice is not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq together with the power of vision in Quran 38:45-38:47 and in the next verse Quran 38:48 Prophet Ishmael Ismail is blessed without his father and without the power of vision.
This shows that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not living in the house of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the time of the vision dream of the sacrifice.
Note 2. Quran 38:45-38:47 and Quran 38:48 show that the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq is the story of the vision of the dream of the sacrifice of the son whereas the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail is a different story which is the building of the Kabah.
In the first test Allaah ordered Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to send Prophet Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar into the desert.
In the second test Allaah ordered Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to sacrifice Prophet Isaac Ishaq who was the only son still living with him after Allaah had long ago taken away Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar to Allaah’s care in the desert.
Would Prophet Abraham Ibrahim reject Allaah by saying first you took Ishmael Ismail away from me and now you want to take my only son who is still living with me? No, Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not say that.
Would Prophet Abraham Ibrahim reject Allaah by saying you promised future generations for me from Isaac Ishaq and now you want me to kill him? No, Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not say that.
Prophet Abraham Ibrahim passed the test and Allaah showed that Allaah always keeps a promise by stopping the sacrifice and returning Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to produce the future generations as Allaah had promised.
The only people who Allaah blesses in the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 are Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq both separately and together as the father and the son.
Quran 37:102 Koran 37:102 Then when he (the “good news son” in Quran 37:101 Prophet Isaac Ishaq who is also unnamed in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and 51:28 because good news is always the name Allaah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran) was old enough to work with him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim), he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, "O my son (Prophet Isaac Ishaq), I have seen in the dream that I am sacrificing you, (my son) so look (at my dream as remembered in Quran 12:6 and Quran 38:45-38:47 and showing in the next verse Quran 38:48 that it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the power of vision and so Allaah decreed those revelations in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 to guide by Allaah’s word those who understand what Allaah is teaching and as proof that no one can change the word of Allaah in the Books of Allaah. The proof that Allaah is real is that the word of Allaah is protected in all the Books of Allaah today. The proof that Allaah is not real is that the word of Allaah that is with the Jews today in their Torah Taurat and with the Christians today in their Gospel of Jesus by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and with the Muslims today in their Quran are not protected. Those who understand are guided by the words of Allaah. Those who do not understand are misguided by claiming that "humans changed Allaah’s word" in the Books of Allaah that are with the Jews today or with the Christians today or with the Muslims today meaning that without understanding what they have said they unknowingly give the proof that Allaah does not exist by claiming or believing that Allaah’s word is not protected in the Torah Taurat or in the Gospel Injil or in the Quran that are with all the humans today. So Look) what (do) you see (what do you think about my dream)?" He (Prophet Isaac Ishaq) said, "O my father, do as you are commanded, if Allaah wills you shall find me patience (not complaining, forbearing as in Quran 37:101).”
a. In the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim Allaah gave the title the good news son to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 11:69, 11:71, 11:74, 15:53, 15:54, 15:55, 19:49, 29:27, 29:31, 37:101, 37:112, 37:113 and 51:28.
b. When the good news son is named in Quran 11:69, 11:71, 11:74, 19:49, 29:27 and 29:31 it is always Prophet Isaac Ishaq and this is the same in Quran 37:112 and 37:113 in the story of the sacrifice where the good news son is also named Prophet Isaac Ishaq because Allaah always uses the good news son as the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the Quran.
c. When the good news son is not named in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and 51:28 it is Prophet Isaac Ishaq and this is the same in Quran 37:101 in the story of the sacrifice where the good news son is also not named because Allaah always uses the good news son as the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the Quran.
d. When the good news son is old enough to work in Quran 37:102 Prophet Abraham Ibrahim asks Prophet Isaac Ishaq what he thinks about the dream, the vision where Prophet Isaac Ishaq will be sacrificed and this dream, this vision is remembered in Quran 12:6 and 38:45.
Quran 12:6 Koran 12:6 – “And so your Lord (Allaah) shall choose you (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) and shall teach you the interpretation of stories (dreams) and shall perfect His (Allaah’s) favour on you and on the family of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel as He (Allaah) perfected it on your fathers before you, (who were) Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq. Your Lord (Allaah) knows all things and is wise.”
Note 1. Allaah remembers the famous vision dream of the sacrifice of Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
e. Prophet Abraham Ibrahim gives his first son Prophet Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar to Allaah by leaving them in the desert with only a small among of water.
Later Allaah asks Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to give his second son who is “the only son” who is living with him after he had long ago given Allaah his first son.
Quran 4:82 Koran 4:82 Do they not think about the Quran (and where it came from)? Had it (the Quran) been (revealed) from someone other than Allaah surely they would have found in it (the Quran) much contradiction (within it and between it and the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil. The Quran confirms the Tanakh Jewish Scripture is correct and the Quran explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John).
Note 1. Proof that the Quran is truthful is that it confirms the story of the famous vision of the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq as proof that no one can change the word of Allaah because this is the proof that Allaah is real for every generation until the Day of Judgement.
Note 2. If humans could change the word of Allaah it would be proof that Allaah does not exist.
Note 3. If humans could change the word of Allaah then no one would believe the promise of life after death.
Quran 6:115 Koran 6:115 The Word of your Lord (Allaah) is fulfilled in truth and justice. No one can change His (Allaah’s) Words. He (Allaah) hears and knows (all things).
Note 1. The proof Allaah is real is that the Books of Allaah do not change.
Quran 10:64 Koran 10:64 “…There is no change in the Words of Allaah…”
Note 1. The proof Allaah is real is that the Books of Allaah do not change.
Quran 3:93 Koran 3:93 “… Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the Jews of Yathrib), "Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it (to me as evidence) if what you say is true."
Note 1. The Quran confirms the Torah is with the Jewish people and the Quran confirms no one can change the word of Allaah.
Note 2. Allaah tells the Jews to recite the Torah meaning the Jews have the Torah and no one changed it.
Note 3. If anyone can prove the Torah was changed then they have found the proof that Allaah does not exist.
Quran 4:136 Koran 4:136 “... and whoever has no faith in … His (Allaah’s) Books, … then he has strayed far away (from Allaah).
If hadith stories agree with the Quran and the other Books of Allaah then accept it.
If hadith stories do not agree with the Quran and the other Books of Allaah then reject it.
On the Day of Judgement Allaah judges by the words in the protected Quran.
On the Day of Judgement Allaah does not judge by the words in unprotected human hadith stories.
The Quran is the protected word of Allaah including the protected words of Prophet Muhammad.
The Quran confirms the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq found in Judaism and in Christianity as proof humans cannot change the word of Allaah and as proof Allaah is real and as proof of the truthfulness of the Quran.
See 1. Prophet Muhammad hadith story about Prophet Ishmael Ismail.
In two hadith stories Prophet Muhammad makes no mention of sacrifice because Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not the son to be sacrificed.

See 6: Ishmael: In the Abrahamic covenant, or not?
How did Allaah fulfill the promise that Abraham Ibrahim would be the father of many nations?
The age of marriage for men in Orthodox Judaism is from the age of 13 years.
Boys have their Bar Mitzvah at the age of 13 meaning they are accountable for their own life and this is the time when they can separate from their parents to begin their own life.
At 13 years of age Ishmael was circumcised and was ready to start a married life.
The promise that Abraham would be the father of many nations was fulfilled by separating the two sons of Abraham when Ishmael was 14 years old.
If Allaah had not separated the two sons then many nations would not be produced as we see from Isaac from whom only one nation called Israel exists today.
Ishmael completed 14 years of life in the loving company of Abraham his father in Canaan today In Israel before Allaah decreed it was time for Ishmael to be separated so that Ishmael could start his own life and raise his own family.
Since it was normal for children to go their own way after 13 years it means Ishmael lacked nothing in his 14 years of loving relationship living with his father as “the only son” in all those years.
Ishmael was 13 years old when Isaac was born and the Torah tells us Allaah separated them when Ishmael was 14 years old and Isaac was 1 year old (the time of weaning).
The Jewish Encyclopedia tells us how Abraham travelled by camel to visit Ishmael meaning Allaah did not separate the love of the father from the love of both his sons.
After Ishmael left Canaan Isaac became “the only son” still living in the house of Abraham in Canaan today in Israel and the Torah tells us this is when the vision dream came for Abraham to sacrifice “his only son” who was still living in his house as a test to show if Abraham will give Allaah his last son who still lives with him so that he will have no sons remaining in his house in Canaan today in Israel.
Would Abraham give Allaah both his sons was the test by which Allaah tested Abraham.
The Jewish Encyclopedia tells us that after the second marriage Ishmael returned and lived in Canaan with Abraham.
The Torah tells us that Ishmael travelled all over the region in his life hunting for food to provide for his family.
Torah Genesis 25:18 And they (the children of Ishmael Ismail) lived from Havilah (Arabia, today Saudi Arabia in the south) to Shur (northern Sinai Peninsula in the west) that is before (you come to) Egypt, (and) as you go toward Asshur (Assyria today in Iraq in the east): he (Ishmael Ismail being an archer who lived for 137 years was always travelling and hunting for food so that at some time in his life Ishmael Ismail had) settled next to (the borders of) all his brethren.
The Jewish Encyclopedia tells us that during the life of Abraham Ishmael repented to Allaah meaning he was righteous.
The Jewish Encyclopedia tells us that “He who sees Ishmael in a dream will have his prayer answered by Allaah” meaning Allaah accepted the repentance of Ishmael.
The story of Ishmael shows how Allaah made Allaah’s promise come true by Abraham having descendants from both Hagar and Sarah.
If Abraham only had descendants from Sarah then there would have been only one nation called Israel however because Allaah decreed that Abraham would also have descendants by Hagar through Ishmael the promise of Allaah that Abraham would be the father of many nations was fulfilled as we see today.
The name Ishmael is an attribute of Allaah meaning “Allaah hears.”
Jews have named their children after Ishmael as seen in the name Rabbi Ishmael.
Muslims also name their children Ismail meaning the story of Ishmael Ismail is a respected story among both Jews and Muslims.
Video: Ishmael: In the Abrahamic covenant, or not? Rabbi Tovia Singer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzAXlU627i8
“Afterward Abraham went to see Ishmael, and, according to his promise to Sarah, stopped at his son's tent without alighting from his camel. Ishmael was not within; his wife refused Abraham food, and beat her children and cursed her husband within Abraham's hearing. Abraham thereupon asked her to tell Ishmael when he returned that an old man had asked that he change the peg of the tent. Ishmael understood that it was his father, took the hint, and drove away his wife. He then married another woman, named Faṭimah (Peḳimah; Targ. pseudo-Jonathan l.c.), who, when three years later Abraham came again to see his son, received him kindly; therefore Abraham asked her to tell Ishmael that the peg was good.
Ishmael then went to Canaan and settled with his father (Pirḳe R. El. l.c.; "Sefer ha-Yashar," l.c.). This statement agrees with that of Baba Batra (16a)—that Ishmael became a penitent (meaning he repented to Allaah for any wrongdoing) during the lifetime of Abraham. He who sees Ishmael in a dream will have his prayer answered by Allaah (Ber. 56a).”
See Ishmael in the Jewish Encyclopedia online.
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/8251-ishmael
1. Did Abraham send Ishmael away because of the order of Sarah or because of the order of Allaah?
Torah Genesis 21:10 For she (Sarah) said to Abraham: 'Cast out this bondwoman (Hagar) and her son (Ishmael); for the son of this bondwoman (Hagar) shall not be heir with my son, Isaac.'
After Sarah tells Abraham to send Ishmael and Hagar away we learn in the next verse that Abraham did not want to do what Sarah said.
Torah Genesis 21:11 And the matter (that Sarah wanted Abraham to do) greatly displeased Abraham on account of his son (Ishmael whom he loved).
Abraham does not agree with Sarah meaning whatever happens is not going to be because of Sarah but because of the command given by Allaah to Abraham in the next verses in 2 below.
2. In the next verse Allaah tells Abraham to do what Sarah said because this is the way Allaah will separate the two sons so that the promise Allaah made that Abraham will be the father of many nations will be fulfilled through Isaac in Genesis 21:12 and through Ishmael in .Genesis 21:13.
This means that Abraham is following the orders of Allaah.
If Allaah had not made the order then Abraham would not have sent away Ishmael.
The only way Abraham can be the father of many nations is by Allaah separating both sons so that new nations will be created..
Torah Genesis 21::12 And Allaah said to Abraham: 'Let it not be displeasing in your sight because of the lad (Ishmael), and because of your bondwoman (Hagar); in all that Sarah said to you (Abraham), listen to her voice; for in Isaac shall seed be called to you.
Note 1. Allaah says Isaac is the seed of Abraham.
Torah Genesis 21::13 And also of the son of the bondwoman (Hagar) I (Allaah) will make a nation, because he is your seed.'
Note 1. Allaah says Ishmael is the seed of Abraham.
Allaah tells Abraham not to feel displeased in Genesis 21::12 and Genesis 21::13 because it will be through both sons that Abraham will be the father of many nations which today we see are the Hebrew and Arab nations as Allaah decreed.
3. Regarding the intimate and sexual relationship between Abraham and Hagar for the purpose of man bringing about Allaah's promise is against Allaah's plan.
This is not correct in fact Allaah tells us that from the relationship between Hagar and Sarah Allaah’s plan is to produce a nation in Genesis 21::13 in 2 above which we see today is the Arab nation.
If only one nation existed then Abraham would not be the father of many nations meaning it was Allaahs plan than Sarah be barren so that Abraham would produce Ishmael from Hagar and later Sarah produced Isaac when she was 90 years old and Abraham was 100 years old.
If Allaah wanted Abraham to only have one son then Sarah would not have been barren.
Allaah made Sarah barren so that Abraham would have two sons through which new nations would be created.
Torah Genesis 21::13 And also of the son of the bondwoman (Hagar) I (Allaah) will make a nation, because he is your seed.'
4. Regarding the idea that Abraham did something bad when he produced Ishmael through Hagar.
That is not correct because Allaah says that Abraham kept all the laws of Allaah meaning Abraham did not do anything bad.
Here is Allaah’s judgement of Abraham.
Genesis 26:5 because Abraham listened to My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.
a. Allaah says Abraham listened to My voice.
b. Allaah says Abraham kept My charge.
c. Allaah says Abraham kept My commandments.
d. Allaah says Abraham kept My statutes.
e. Allaah says Abraham kept My laws.
The judgement of Allaah in Genesis 26:5 is that Abraham is sinless in the sight of Allaah and explains why Abraham is called the friend of Allaah.
This means any person who listens to the voice of Allaah and keeps Allaah's charge and Allaah’s commandments and Allaah’s statues and Allaah’s laws like Abraham did is sinless in the judgement of Allaah.
Video: Original Sin (Adam and Eve).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o6NVXgsvqI
The following video says that In the Torah Noah was more sinless than Abraham because Noah obeyed Allaah without question whereas Abraham obeyed Allaah and questioned Allaah (although Allaah never says questioning Allaah by asking Allaah questions in a conversation with Allaah is a sin).
The video discusses the difference between Abraham and Noah and that discussion might also explain why Allaah calls Abraham (and not Noah) "His friend."
This shows that many people are sinless in the sight of Allaah but we only know about them by what Allaah has told us about his judgement of those people which are given as examples to every generation.
See 1. Video: Is Judaism racist? – Rabbi Michael Skobac – Jews for Judaism.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcuPydhiUm8
A. The written promise from Allaah that anyone can be sinless through obedience and good deeds.
Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow.
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, said the LORD; though your sins be as scarlet (very great), they shall be as white as snow (completely forgiven); though they be red like crimson (very great), they shall be as wool (completely forgiven).
Isaiah 1:19 If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
Isaiah 55:6 Seek the LORD while He (Allaah) may be found, call on Him while He is near;
B. The written promise from Allaah that everyone can be sinless through turning away from evil and returning to Allaah.
Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the man of wrongdoing (forsake) his (evil) thoughts; and let him return to the LORD (Allaah) that He (Allaah) may have mercy on them, and (to whoever turns) to our Allaah, for He (Allaah) will abundantly pardon (them who turn away from wickedness).
C. The written promise from Allaah that anyone can be sinless through righteous behaviour.
Ezekiel 18:21 But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all My commandments, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live (in Paradise), he shall not die (a never ending death in Hell fire).
Ezekiel 18:22 None of his transgressions (wrong doing) that he has committed shall be remembered against him; for his righteousness that he has done he shall live (in Paradise).
Allaah says Abraham kept Allaah’s laws and Allaah’s commandments and Allaah’s statutes and Allaah’s charge and listened to Allaah’s voice meaning Abraham was without sin in the sight of Allaah.
Since Allaah tells us Abraham kept Allaah’s laws it means there was no adultery meaning Sarah gave Abraham permission to have a son through Hagar and since Allaah would later tell Abraham to obey what Sarah tells him to do it means Allaah was working through Sarah to fulfill the promise that Abraham would be the father of many nations through his two sons Ishmael and Isaac.
Allaah says everything Abraham did was within the commandments and statutes and laws of Allaah meaning Allaah made Sarah barren so that Abraham would produce Ishmael from Hagar because without Ishmael Abraham would only be the father of one nation today instead of the many nations which Allaah had promised.
Today we can see that the promise of Allaah is fulfilled through the existence of the Hebrew and Arab nations
5. Regarding age of marriage.
It is not unusual that thousands of years ago in the time of Abraham boys could legally marry at the age of 13.
It is only in modern times that the age of marriage was raised.
Look at the law 140 years ago.
In 1880 the age of consent was set at 10 or 12 years of age in most states of the USA, with the exception of the US State of Delaware where it was 7 years of age.
See Ages of consent in the United States
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_the_United_States
6. The reason Allaah sent Ishmael away is that this is the way Allaah produced the new nations Allaah promised through Abraham’s seed.
If Allaah did not send Ishmael away then both Ishmael and Isaac would have been Hebrew and as we know all the Hebrew tribes that were produced combined to form one nation.
By sending Ishmael away his seed produced the Arab nations.
Allaah used Sarah and Isaac and Abraham to do everything they did so that Ishmael and Hagar would be separated to produce non-Hebrew nations.
It is by separating both sons that the promise of Allaah to Abraham that he would be the father of many nations was accomplished.
7. Allaah does not want humans to idol worship men and so when Allaah uses words that associates wild donkey with Ishmael or adultery with David or murderer with Moses or idol worship with the wives of Solomon the message is a remember that men are not Allaah because though out history humans are inclined to make other humans into Allaahs and Allaah says many times that He is not a man and there is no salvation in the son of man.
An example of how humans turn Allaah into a man is described in the video below.
Video: Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and Allaah.
The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to Allaah as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures.
Jesus prayed to Allaah in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to Allaah.

8. Children are given names with the attributes of Allaah.
Allaah hears is an attribute of Allaah reminding us that Allaah hears when we call Him.
9. Allaah confirms that Isaac and Ishmael are the two sons of Abraham and does not mention any other sons at the funeral.
Torah Genesis 25:9 And Isaac Ishaq and Ishmael Ismail his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre (Hebron today in Palestine);
11. Explain Genesis 25:24-25:34.
Explain Genesis 27:1-27:45.
Esau despised his birthright in Genesis 25:34.
The birthright of Esau and Jacob.
Allaah tested Esau like Allaah tested Cain.
Cain brought a hand full of grass as a gift to Allaah which was rejected by Allaah because Cain put no effort in the gift he brought to Allaah.
When Esau was made to choose between eating bread with lentil soup or keeping his birthright Esau immediately wanted to sell his birthright for bread with lentil soup which Allaah says shows that Esau despised his birthright meaning Esau immediately chose the food of this world above Allaah’s given birthright meaning food was more important to Esau than the gift of the first born birthright commanded by Allaah and so the birthright of Esau as the first born came to his brother Jacob.
Genesis 25:29 And Jacob made a soup and Esau came in from the field and he was faint (hungry).
Genesis 25:30 And Esau said to Jacob: “Let me swallow some of this red, red soup because I am faint (hungry).” So his (Esau’s) name was called Edom (meaning red).
Genesis 25:31 And Jacob said: 'Sell me first your birthright.'
Note 1. Through Jacob Allaah is testing Esau.
Genesis 25,32 And Esau said: 'Look I am at the point to die and what profit shall the birthright do to me?'
Note 1. Esau is in the field every day and Jacob is cooking in the house every day.
Note 2. Esau loves food so much that he says he is near death when he is hungry.
Note 3. Allaah tests Esau with food and his first born birthright and Esau chooses the food above the first born birth right.
Genesis 25:33 And Jacob said: 'Swear to me first'; and he swore to him; and he sold his birthright to Jacob.
Note 1. To show that Esau understands what he is agreeing to do he is made to swear to keep his promise.
Genesis 25:34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and soup of lentils; and he (Esau) ate and drank, and rose up, and went his way. So (this showed that in the sight of Allaah) Esau despised his birthright (because Esau immediately gave away his first born birthright for food meaning instead of arguing to keep his birth right Esau immediately agreed to sell his birthright for food meaning Esau had more interest in the food of this world compared to the commandment of Allaah regarding birthright. After eating the food Esau was happy and departed again showing that Esau loved food more than he loved his birthright meaning Esau chose the food of this world above the commandments of Allaah which established the first born birthright and for this reason the birthright would go to Jacob because Esau wanted the bread and lentil soup more than he wanted the birthright and so Esau was despised in the sight of Allaah).
In Genesis 27:1-27:45 Prophet Isaac Ishaq asks his first born son Esau to come and receive the blessing of the first born however Isaac unknowingly gives this blessing to Jacob meaning Allaah decreed that Isaac would be blameless in what happened and Jacob would receive this blessing as Allaah had decreed.
Genesis 27:37 And Isaac Ishaq answered and said to Esau: Look I have made him (Jacob) your lord, and all his brethren I have given to him (Jacob) for servants; and with corn and wine I sustained him …”
Note 1. With this blessing Allaah decreed that prophets would come from Prophet Isaac to Prophet Jacob and through his future twelve children of Israel.
In Genesis 32:4-33:17Jacob and his brother Esau made peace with each other.
Genesis 35:29 And Isaac expired, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
Genesis 36:42 “… This is Esau the father of the Edomites.”

Explain Genesis 32:31 (Genesis 32:30 in Christian Bible)
Explain Hosea 12:5. (Hosea 12:4 in Christian Bible).
Explain Jacob wrestled with the angel of Allaah and man.
1. Why are prophets called Allaah in Tanakh Jewish scripture?
When you are in front of a prophet who speaks in the name of Allaah this is Allaah speaking to you and this is why a prophet is called Allaah meaning Allaah is speaking to you through the mouth of the prophet of Allaah as described in Deuteronomy 18:18.
2. Why are angels called Allaah in Tanakh Jewish scripture?
When you are in front of an angel who speaks in the name of Allaah this is Allaah speaking to you and this is why an angel is called Allaah meaning Allaah is speaking to you through the mouth of the angel of Allaah as described in Deuteronomy 18:18.
3. In Tanakh Jewish scripture a prophet is called Allaah because a prophet is the word of Allaah made flesh delivering Allaah's word as described in Deuteronomy 18:18 meaning when you are in front of a prophet who speaks in the name of Allaah you are listening to Allaah speaking to you.
In Tanakh Jewish scripture an angel is called Allaah because an angel is the word of Allaah made spirit delivering Allaah's word as described in Deuteronomy 18:18 meaning when you are in front of an angel who speaks in the name of Allaah you are listening to Allaah speaking to you.
4. The Torah Taurat says no one can see Allaah and live.
There are no Jews who believe that Jacob wrestled with Allaah.
In the Torah Jacob wrestled with the angel of Allaah.
A similar example is in the Quran where Allaah sits on a throne (chair).
There are no Muslims who believe Allaah sits on a throne (chair).
Jews can help Muslims understand the Torah.
Muslims can help Jews understand the Quran.
5. In Tanakh Jewish scripture when something represents Allaah it is called Allaah.
This is called the theophoric (bearing the name of Allaah) way of speaking and writing in biblical Hebrew.
Angels are called Allaah in Tanakh Jewish scripture because the words that came out of their mouth are the words of Allaah (the angel in Genesis 16:7 is called Allaah in Genesis 16:13 and in Genesis 32:30).
.
6. Jacob was given courage by an angel of Allaah so that Jacob would be ready to meet his brother who Jacob feared might harm him.
The angel made sure Jacob stayed where Jacob was by fighting with Jacob all night.
In the morning the angel said “let me go” to give Jacob courage and Jacob met his brother on that day and found his brother loved him and did not want to harm him, meaning his brother forgave him for what had happened between them many years before.
7. When Jacob repented for his sin he was forgiven and became a prophet to show that when a human repents to Allaah and corrects their behaviour a human becomes righteous in the sight of Allaah.
The sin of Jacob is also a reminder that Jacob is human so that humans remember to worship only Allaah and not the messengers of Allaah.
Genesis 32:29 (Genesis 32:28 in Christian Bible) And he (the angel of Allaah) said: “Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with Allaah (the angel of Allaah) and with men, and have prevailed.'
Genesis 32:31 (Genesis 32:30 in Christian Bible) And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: 'for I have seen Allaah (the angel of Allaah) face to face, and my life is preserved.'
Jacob wrestled with the angel of Allaah.
Exodus 7:1 And the Lord (Allaah) said to Moses “I have made you (Moses) a Allaah (Lord) to Pharaoh and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet (speaker).
Note 1. Notice that the way language was used in the past and today has changed.
In the language of the past a person who revealed the word of Allaah (like an angel or like Moses in Exodus 7:1) was called Allaah.
In the language of the past a person like Aaron in Exodus 7:1 who speaks to the people the word of Allaah that is revealed to him (by Allaah or by an angel or by Moses) was called a prophet.
When three angels visited Abraham they came in the form of men.
Allaah told us “He is not a man” and “He is not the son of man” meaning the man delivering the word of Allaah to Jacob that his name will be Israel is an angel and this is confirmed in Hosea 12:5 (Hosea 12:4 in Christian Bibles).
Hosea 12:5 (Hosea 12:4 in Christian Bibles) He strove with an angel and prevailed …”
When Allaah is talking to you through His angel it means you have seen and talked to Allaah without the need to say it was through the angel of Allaah because the reason the angel is present is to deliver "the word of Allaah."

Explain Exodus 3:13
Explain Exodus 3:14
Explain Exodus 3:15
Explain Exodus 3:16
Explain Exodus 6:3
Is "I AM" the name of Allaah?
Is "I AM WHO I AM" the name of Allaah?
Is "I AM THAT I AM" the name of Allaah?
Explain My name YHWH I made Me not known to them.
Explain what is His name? What shall I say to them?
In the Tanakh Jewish scripture YHVH (YHWH, YHWA) is the unique name of Allaah which represents three words “He was” “He is” and “He will be” meaning He was never born and He will never die meaning He existed and will exist forever and is the Allaah of kindness and mercy who sits on eternity.
The Quran which is revealed in 114 chapters contains the words “In the name of Allaah the most kind the most merciful” which is a unique quality that belongs to Allaah YHVH (YHWH, YHWA).
The opening words “In the name of Allaah the most kind the most merciful” is found at the beginning of 113 chapters in the Quran and is used more than 114 times throughout the 114 chapters of the Quran.
YHVH (YHWH, YHWA) is the one who sits on eternity and is named the most kind the most merciful one.
Exodus 3:11 And Moses said to Allaah: 'Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring out the children of Israel out of Egypt?
Exodus 3:12 And He (Allaah) said (to Moses): 'Certainly Ehyeh (I will be) with you (so do not worry); and this shall be the sign to you (Moses), that I (Allaah) have sent you (Moses), when you (Moses) have brought the people out of Egypt, you (Moses) shall serve Allaah on this mountain.”
Note 1. Ehyeh means "I will be.".
“I (Allaah) will be” is the same Hebrew word used in Exodus 3:14.
Note 2. Ehyeh means "I will be" is the same Hebrew word used in Exodus 3:14.
Allaah said to Moses "Certainly Ehyeh (I will be) with you (so do not worry) ..."
Exodus 3:13 And Moses said to Allaah: 'When I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them: The Allaah of your fathers has sent me to you; and they shall say to me: What is His name? What shall I say to them?
Exodus 3:14 And Allaah said to Moses (do not worry) “Ehyeh asher ehyeh” (“I will be that I will be” see Ehyeh in Exodus 3:12 meaning “I will be” with you now so “that” you know “I will be” with you also in Egypt). ”And He (Allaah) said “Say this to the people of Israel (who are in Egypt, do not worry), “Ehyeh (“I will be” see Ehyeh in Exodus 3:12 meaning “I will be” with you is the message which Allaah) has sent me (Moses) to (deliver to) you (the children of Israel in Egypt. Continued in Exodus 3:15 and Exodus 3:16 below).”
Note 1. Ehyeh means "I will be."..
“I (Allaah) will be” is the same Hebrew word used in Exodus 3:12.
Note 2. Ehyeh asher ehyeh means “I will be that I will be” meaning Allaah said to Moses “I will be” with you now so “that” you know “I will be” with you also in Egypt.
Note 3. Ehyeh means "I will be.".is the same Hebrew word used in Exodus 3:12.
Allaah said “Say this to the people of Israel (who are in Egypt, do not worry), “Ehyeh (“I will be” meaning “I will be” with you is the message which Allaah) has sent me (Moses) to (deliver to) you (the children of Israel in Egypt).
Exodus 6:3 and I (Allaah) appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as Allaah Almighty, but by My name YHWH I (Allaah) made Me (meaning the fulfilment of Allaah's promise in Exodus 6:4-6:8) not known to them (meaning Abraham and Isaac and Jacob did not see the fulfilment of the promise Allaah made to them in Exodus 6:4 - 6:8 but they trusted in YHWH who sits on eternity in Isaiah 57:15 meaning Allaah is the one creator of every creation who exists in eternity and is the one creator who had no beginning and has no end meaning Allaah knows the past and present and future which Allaah foretold to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in Exodus 6:4 - 6:8).
Exodus 3:15 And moreover Allaah said to Moses: you shall say to the children of Israel: The LORD, the Allaah of your fathers, the Allaah of Abraham, the Allaah of Isaac, and the Allaah of Jacob, has sent me (Moses) to you (the children of of Israel); this is My name forever, and this is how I should be mentioned in all generations (meaning “The LORD” is Allaah’s name forever and “The LORD” is how every generation should call the name of Allaah).
Note 1. The name of Allaah forever in all generations is YHVH written as LORD.
“The LORD” is Allaah’s name forever and “The LORD” is how every generation should call the name of Allaah.
Note 2. In Psalm 135:13 “The LORD” is Allaah’s name forever and “The LORD” is how every generation should remember and call the name of Allaah.
Psalm 135:13 O LORD, Your name is forever; O LORD, Your remembrance is through all generations.
Exodus 3:16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel (who are in Egypt), and say to them: The LORD, the Allaah of your fathers, the Allaah of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me (Moses), saying: I have surely remembered you, and seen what is done to you in Egypt.
Note 1. Exodus 3:16 shows how to use the name of Allaah confirming “The LORD” is Allaah’s name forever and “The LORD” is how every generation should remember and call the name of Allaah.
Note 2. The four letters YHVH. The Tetragrammaton YHWH.
The Ten Commandments of Allaah warn that Allaah will not forgive a person who uses His name in vain therefore the unique name of Allaah YHVH which represents three words “He was” “He is” and “He will be” is only used in prescribed times for example by the priest during Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) however in other times it is normally replaced in English and Hebrew with “My Lord” (Adonai) or “The name” (HaShem) or “The Holy One Blessed Be He” (hakadosh baruch hu).
Note 3. Care is required in the use of the unique name of Allaah in speech and in written form as warned in the Ten Commandments of Allaah.
In the same way children do not call their mother and father by their first name but only call them mum or dad.
Exodus 3:15 and Exodus 3:16 says call Allaah by the name of Lord.
Note 4. In prayer the word Lord (Adonai) is usually used instead of pronouncing the unique name of Allaah represented by the four letters YHVH.
Note 5. In conversation “The name” (HaShem) or “The Holy One Blessed Be He” (hakadosh baruch hu) is usually used instead of pronouncing the unique name of Allaah represented by the four letters YHVH.

14. Explain Exodus 15:3
Explain Hosea 11:9
Explain Allaah is a man of war.
Explain Allaah is not a man.
Allaah is a man of war explained. Allaah is not a man explained.
Exodus 15:3 The LORD is a man of war ..."
Hosea 11:9 ”… I am Allaah and not a man …”
This is a clear verse from Allaah.
Hosea 11:9 ”… I am Allaah and not a man …”
In Exodus 15:3 "The LORD is a man of war" means Allaah makes war.
“The LORD is a man of war” are the words to a song sung by the children of Israel to thank Allaah for fighting against the Pharaoh and saving the children of Israel.
Exodus 15:1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying: I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; He has thrown the horse and his rider into the sea.
Exodus 15:3 The LORD is a man of war, The LORD is His name.
Exodus 15:4 Pharaoh's chariots and his Army He (Allaah) has thrown into the sea, and the elite of his (Pharaoh’s) captains sank in the Red Sea.
Exodus 15:3 in a song of praise to Allaah does not mean that Allaah is biologically a man because Allaah says in Hosea 11:9 ”… I am Allaah and not a man …”.
To think that Allaah is a real biological man would be the same error as saying Allaah sits on a chair because he has a ‘Throne.”
If the bible is interpreted literally by ignoring the clear verses like Hosea 11:9 ”… I am Allaah and not a man …” then it would be full of contradictions.
The clear verses are the guide by which all verses including literal and poetic verses must be understood.
In the Greek Roman world they had gods in the form of men and even some leaders were called god.
If you see anything like this in the Jewish Bible you need to use Jewish thinking and not Greek Roman thinking.
In Judaism the idea that Allaah is a man is idol worship.
In the Greek Roman world the idea that Allaah is a man is normal thinking.
If you translate the Jewish Bible using Greek Roman ideas then it is not the Jewish Bible but only what a Greek Roman would understand and this is most likely how they misunderstood the meaning of “son of Allaah’ which means “servant of Allaah” in Judaism but to the Greek Romans their gods had real biological sons and it would have been normal for a Greek Roman mind to see the word "son of Allaah" in the Jewish Bible and immediately think it meant a real biological son of Allaah which in Judaism is idolatry.
You need to use the clear verses which have only one meaning to interpret other verses otherwise you will give meanings to verses which will contradict the clear verses.
Only when every verse is interpreted by clear verses that have only one meaning will you know that your interpretation is correct and free of contradictions because contradictions with a verse is the sign there is an error or misunderstanding somewhere.
There cannot be contradictions between verses and finding contradictions is the best way for every person to find their errors.
Have the clear verses in your mind whenever you interpret a verse because this will be guidance to the correct meaning.
The Hebrew word אִישׁ is translated as man.
However in Ruth 1:3 the words נָעֳמִי אִישׁ are translated as Naomi’s husband (not Naomi’s man).
Therefore because Allaah has said “He is not a man” in Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29 and Hosea 11:9 some translate this word as Master of war (not man of war)
Exodus 15:3 The LORD is a Master of war ..." in the same way as this same word is translated as husband in Ruth 1:3.
Video: Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and Allaah.
The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to Allaah as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures.
Jesus prayed to Allaah in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to Allaah.

15. Explain Exodus 12:48-12:49
Explain Exodus 23:9
Explain Leviticus 19:33-19:34
Explain Leviticus 24:21-24:22
Explain Numbers 15:13-15:16
Explain Deuteronomy 24:14-24:15
Explain Deuteronomy 25:13-25:16
Explain home-born and stranger and convert.
Quran 18:27 Koran 18:27 “… no one can change His words …”
Understanding a teaching requires understanding the meaning of words for example a stranger can mean a convert or it can mean any person who is different to you.
Exodus 12:48 And when a stranger (who has accepted the Torah at Mount Sinai or later converts to the religion of the Torah) lives with you, and will keep the passover to the Lord (Allaah), let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near (to you) and keep it (the Torah laws); and he shall be like one that is born in the land (meaning he will be like an Israelite, he will be like a Hebrew with equal rights to native born Israelites and Hebrews); but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it (the passover meal because this is a remembrance that is only binding on the Israelite, the Hebrew who has accepted the religion of Allaah).
Note 1. Stranger in this verse means a convert because the stranger “will keep the passover to the Lord (Allaah)” and his males will be circumcised.
Note 2. Those who are uncircumcised are people who follow other beliefs.
Exodus 12:49 One law shall be to the home-born (native Hebrew, native Israelite), and to the stranger (who has accepted Allaah in Exodus 12:48 meaning the convert) that lives among you (has equal rights because he is to be regarded as a Hebrew and as an Israelite in Exodus 12:48).
Note 1. Stranger in this verse means a convert as explained in Exodus 12:48
Exodus 23:9 And you (the Hebrews) shall not oppress a stranger; for you know the heart of a stranger because you (the Hebrews) were strangers in the land of Egypt (when you were slaves).
Note 1. Stranger here is not a convert like in Exodus 12:48-12:49 but means any person who is different to you like the time when “you (the Hebrews) were a stranger of Egypt (when you were slaves).”
Note 2. The word stranger means a convert or means any person who is different to you depending on the context.
In Exodus 23:9 the context tells us that stranger means any person who is different from you.
In Exodus 12:48-12:49 the context tells us that stranger means a convert.
Leviticus 19:33 And if a stranger lives with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
Leviticus 19:34 The stranger that lives with you shall be to you like the home-born among you (the Hebrews), and you shall love him as (you love) yourself; because you (the Hebrews) were strangers in the land of Egypt (when you were slaves): I am the Lord your Allaah.
Note 1. Stranger means any person who is different to you who lives in your land because the meaning of stranger is given in Leviticus 19:34 “you (the Hebrews) were a stranger of Egypt (when you were slaves).
Leviticus 24:21 And he that kills a beast (without right) shall make it good (by compensation); and he that kills a man (without right) shall be put to death.
Leviticus 24:22 You shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the home-born; for I am the LORD your Allaah.'
Note 1. Stranger means any person living in the land of the children of Israel is under the same laws of Allaah in Leviticus 24:21-24:22.
Numbers 15:13 All that are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD (Allaah).
Numbers 15:14 And if a stranger lives with you, or whosoever may be among you, throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord (Allaah); as you (the Hebrews) do, so shall he (the stranger also) do.
Note 1. This verse is about a stranger who converts by accepting Allaah.
Numbers 15:15 As for the congregation (the Hebrew and the stranger who live in the land together), there shall be one statute both for you, and for the stranger that lives with you, a statute forever throughout your generations; as you (the Hebrews) are (in the sight of Allaah), so shall the stranger be before the Lord (Allaah).
Numbers 15:16 One law and one ordinance shall be both for you (the Hebrews), and for the stranger that lives with you.
Note 1. This verse is about a stranger who converts by accepting Allaah.In Numbers 15:14 like the Hebrews accept Allaah in Numbers 15:13.
Note 2. These laws were given to both the Hebrews and the strangers who had accepted Allaah at Mount Sinai.
Note 3. These laws would also apply in the land of Canaan known as the Holy land known today as Israel.
Deuteronomy 24:14-24:15 Do not oppress a poor and needy worker both brethren and stranger and pay them before sunset.
Note 1. Stranger means any person who is different to you and brethren means any person who is similar to you.
Deuteronomy 25:13-25:16 Unrighteous is the person who measures the weights of products falsely in their business.
Note 1. To be dishonest in business with any person either a brethren or a stranger is unrighteous.
Rabbi Ishmael (Sifre Bemidbar 39): “In speaking to Israel on matters that pertain to all people, this includes the resident aliens.”
That is to say, in matters of social justice and welfare, “Speak to the children of Israel” includes the resident alien as well.
In the words of Abraham Joshua Heschel in Torah From Heaven, “the time has come to adopt the teaching of Rabbi Ishmael.”

16. Explain Exodus 20:5
Explain Numbers 14:18
Explain visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.
Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was not punished for the sins of his father who worshipped idols.
The son (first generation) who sees his father (second generation) and grandfather (third generation) and great grandfather (fourth generation) sin by the worship of idols and it did not change his behaviour will receive more punishment in the hereafter.
Numbers 14:18 “… visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation (if the children are also among those who hate Allaah in Exodus 20:5 by continuing to worship idols like their father's had done when they saw that idol worship did not benifit the fathers before them).
Exodus 20:5 “… visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me (Allaah);

17. Explain Exodus 21:20
Explain Exodus 21:21
The treatment of a canaanite servant.
Exodus 21:20 warns that if you kill your servant (who might be a Canaanite idol worshipping servant who Allaah has punished by the hand of the Israelites) then you (the Israelite) will be put to death
Exodus 21:21 is a warning not to punish your servant severely (who might be a Canaanite idol worshipping servant who Allaah has punished by the hand of the Israelites) because if you kill him then you will be killed but if the servant continues to live for a day or two meaning 24 hours then the master will not be killed.
Note 1. This is a warning to masters that they are responsible for the treatment of their servant because if a master becomes angry and punishes his servant who then dies within 24 hours of the punishment then the master will be killed.
Exodus 22:20 You shall not do wrong to a stranger neither shall you oppress him; because you (the children of Israel) were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Hosea 6:6 For I (Allaah) desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of Allaah rather than burnt-offerings.
18. Explain Exodus 22:24
Explain Deuteronomy 23:21 (Deuteronomy 23:20 in Christian Bibles).
Explain why the charging of interest is different in the Torah and Quran?
Explain why usury is different in the Torah and Quran?
Explain why ribbis is different in the Torah and Quran?
Explain why riba is different in the Torah and Quran?
The difference in the laws of interest in the Torah and Quran is explained in Quran 2:106 in the same way it explains why there is no prohibition regarding the drinking of alcohol in the Jewish Scripture and the Gospel but there is in the Quran and explains why the Psalm Zabur contain verses written for stringed musical instruments but verses in the Quran are recited using only the human voice.
Quran 2:106 Koran 2:106 (Allaah says in 1 Samuel 15:29 Allaah does not change His mind promises covenants agreements because only humans change their mind promises covenants agreements so the Jews asked Prophet Muhammad about the Torah and the Quran. Allaah reveals) We (Allaah) do not abolish a verse (in the Torah for the Jewish people) or let it be forgotten (by the Jewish people until the Day of Judgement as Allaah promised in Quran 2:40-2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 - 3:115, Quran 5:69, Exodus 2:24, Leviticus 26:44-26:45, Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 7:7-7:8, Deuteronomy 12:1, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, 2 King 13:23, Psalm 19:8-19:12 in Jewish Tanakh or Psalm 19:7-19:11 in Christian Old Testament Bible, Psalm 111:7 - 111:9, Hosea 3:4-3:5, Daniel 12:2, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20). We (Allaah) bring (to the Muslims in the Quran) something better than it or similar to it (confirming the Torah which is in the hands of the Jewish people until the Day of Judgement in Quran 2:40-2:41 and explaining the story of Jesus which is in the four reports that are in the hands of the Christian people until the Day of Judgement in Quran 5:46-5:47 and Allaah told the Jewish people to observe the Torah Taurat and told the Christians to observe the Gospel Injil in Quran 5:68. Allaah reminded the Jewish people in the Quran to observe the Sabbath and confirmed Prophet Ezra is a human servant of Allaah like every human is a willing or unwilling servant of Allaah. Allaah reminded the Christian people in the Quran that Prophet Jesus is a human servant of Allaah like every human is a willing or unwilling servant of Allaah). Do you not know that Allaah is capable of everything? (including protecting the Jewish Scriptures that are with the Jewish people until the Day of Judgement as shown in the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 where Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq and leaves no other blessings in the story of the sacrifice and this famous vision dream is remembered in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 where Allaah blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq with the vision dream in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and shows in the next verse that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son in the vision dream and Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not living with his father during the vision dream by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the blessing of the vision dream in Quran 38:48. This is confirmed in Quran 12:6 and in Torah Genesis 22:2 “And Allaah said: Take now your son, your only son” who still lives with you, reminding him that Allaah had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into Allaah’s care in the desert, “whom you love” Allaah makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave Allaah one son and reminding him of his love for these sons, “even” namely, that is “Isaac Ishaq and go into the land of Moriah” today in the Temple and Al-Aqsa mosque area in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Israel and Palestine; “and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I Allaah will tell you of.” The proof Allaah is real is the Quran confirming the Torah Taurat is correct in Quran 2:41 “And believe in what I Allaah have revealed” in the Quran “that confirms what you already have” in the Torah Taurat and in Quran 3:93 “… Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it as evidence if what you say is true" and in Quran 5:43 “How is it that they come to you for judgment when they have the Torah Taurat in which Allaah has already revealed to them judgment …” and Quran 5:68 “… You the Jewish people have nothing until you observe the Torah Taurat …” as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA so hold tightly to what Allaah is teaching in the Quran and beware of stories which contradict the Books of Allaah. Allaah explains the story of Jesus which is in the hands of the Christian people by explaining in the Quran what the human eye could not see without adding anything to the story in the Gospel of what the human eye saw in the story of Prophet Jesus Isa in Quran 3:144 see Quran 5:75, Quran 4:157, Quran 4:158 see Quran 39:42, Quran 5:75 see Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 see Quran 7:6, Quran 7:6 see Quran 5:117, Quran 21:95 see Quran 23:99 – 23:100, Quran 33:40 see Gospel of Jesus Isa by Mark 13:5 – 13:6, 13:21 – 13:22 and Quran 39:42 see Quran 4:158. In Quran 3:144 and Quran 5:75 see “passed away” in the Quran always means died see in Quran 2:134 and Quran 2:141 and Quran 7:38 and Quran 13:30 and Quran 41:25 and Quran 46:17. The Quran gives humans freedom to find their religion).
Note 1. In Quran 2:106 Allaah says the Quran is similar to what is with the Jewish people or better and this is explained in Quran 13:39 where Allaah does not include in the Quran some laws that are binding only on the Jewish people.
After the children of Israel built a golden calf 3200 years ago the laws in the Torah such as forbidding usury (charging interest) among the children of Israel was revealed to prevent idol worship by keeping the children of Israel away from relationships where the idol worshippers might have power over the Hebrews when they settle in Canaan (today Israel and Palestine).
The law forbidding usury among the children of Israel meant that the Hebrews would not need to seek help from idol worshippers who lived near them when they settled in Canaan because every member of the Hebrew nation would be obliged to help each other.
Idol worshippers were charging interest therefore Allaah keeps the Hebrews together by forbidding them to charge interest within the family of the children of Israel.
After the idol worshippers in Canaan are warned to leave Canaan or accept Hebrew rule or fight Allaah uses the Hebrews to punish the idol worshippers in Canaan who chose to fight.
The laws in the Torah such as usury are designed by Allaah to prevent the children of Israel from relationships with idol worshippers 3200 years ago which might cause the Hebrews to forget Allaah and adopt idol worship like some of them did at Mount Sinai before they received the Torah.
Exodus 22:24 If you lend money to any of My people, to the poor with you, you shall not behave to him like a lender; nor shall you lay on him interest.
Idol worshippers were charging interest so Allaah kept the Hebrews together by allowing the Hebrews to charge interest to foreigners meaning idol worshippers so that the Hebrews would be in a position of power in their relationship with the idol worshippers as a way to prevent the Hebrews from forgetting Allaah in the world of idol worship that surrounded them 3200 years ago.
Deuteronomy 23:21 (Deuteronomy 23:20 in Christian Bibles) To a foreigner you may lend on interest; but to your brother you shall not lend on interest; so that the LORD your Allaah may bless you in all that you put in your hand, in the land when you go to possess it (in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine).
.
Punishment from Allaah for interest usury ribbis riba in the Jewish Scripture.
Ezekiel 22:12 In you they have taken gifts (bribes) to shed blood; you have taken interest and increased pay, and you have greedily gained by your neighbours oppression, and have forgotten Me, said the Lord Allaah.
Ezekiel 22:13 Therefore, I have clapped My hand (in disapproval) at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood guilt which is in you.
Ezekiel 22:14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I (Allaah) shall deal with you? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
When a new people of Allaah were created in Islam 1400 years ago they were not idol worshippers but “people of Allaah.”
Prophet Muhammad traded with the Jewish people in Arabia under all the rules of Islam and these rules of Islam were accepted by Jewish traders because Exodus 22:24 shows that the rules of usury apply to “My people” meaning those who believe in Allaah and clearly both Muslim and Jewish traders believed in Allaah.
The Torah does not forbid the Hebrew people from lending money without interest to non-Jews showing that Allaah revealed the Torah in a way that was acceptable in the sight of Allaah 3200 years ago in a time when the Hebrews were surrounded by idol worshippers and 1400 years ago when a new community of Allaah was created in the form of Islam.
In the same way as the rules of usury in the Torah allow for a time when all the world will not charge interest by not forbidding interest free loans by Jews to non-Jews so also the Quran allowed for a time when all the world would not have slavery by proclaiming that righteousness is the freeing of the slave in Quran 90:11-90:13 meaning nothing is lacking in the Books of Allaah because both the Torah Taurat and the Quran confirm and explain each other as proof Allaah is real and that the books of Allaah are truthful.

At the time of the death of Aaron at Mount Hor in Numbers 20:22-20:29, Numbers 32:50 and Numbers 33:37-33:39 the children of Israel had travelled to Mount Hor from Moseroth (Moserah, Mosera) to Bene-jaakan (Beeroth-benejaakan) in Number 33:31 however Deuteronomy 10:6 is after the death of Aaron when the children of Israel are travelling in the opposite direction away from Mount Hor from Beeroth-benejaakan (Bene-jaakan) to Moserah (Mosera, Moseroth) and they are remembering the events that had occurred when Aaron died and was buried “there” meaning at Mount Hor from where they had just come from and where Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his place as described in Numbers 20:22-20:29 and Numbers 33:37-33:39 and confirmed in Numbers 32:50.
Note 2. These are verses of remembrance as can be seen in Deuteronomy 10:1 where Moses remembers the time before the death of Aaron at Mount Sinai when he received the Ten Commandments and Deuteronomy 10:6 after the death of Aaron and Deuteronomy 10:10 where Moses again recalls the time before the death of Aaron at Mount Sinai when he received the Ten Commandments.
Deuteronomy 10:7 (And when the 30 days of mourning the death of Aaron had passed in safety) they travelled from there (again towards Mount Hor) to Gudgod; and from Gudgod to Jotbah, a land of brooks of water.

22. Explain Deuteronomy 7:6-7:8
Explain Deuteronomy 9:5-9:6
Why Allaah chose the children of Israel.
A. Allaah always keeps His promise and Allaah reveals He will make the righteous among the Hebrews into a Holy people in Deuteronomy 7:6-7:8.
Quran 2:40 Koran 2:40 O Children of Israel (the Jews, the Hebrews), remember My (Allaah’s) favour which I (Allaah) put on you (in the Torah covenant in Deuteronomy 31:9, Deuteronomy 4:13, Deuteronomy 28:69, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 7:9-7:12 commanding that no one shall add or subtract from the Torah in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 13:1 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 12:32 in a Christian Bible and forever in Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, Psalm 111:9, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people who are mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 and Quran 2:40)? Fulfill My covenant (in the Torah) and I (Allaah) will fulfill your covenant (in the Torah) and fear (no one but) Me (Allaah. A false prophet will believe the word of Allaah has changed in Deuteronomy 13:2-13:4 and 1 Kings 13:14-1 Kings 13:24. Paul is a false prophet because he teaches the word of Allaah in the Torah changed in Romans chapter 7 and teaches new words that cannot be found in the Torah. Muhammad is a true prophet because he confirms Allaah orders Jews to follow the Torah Taurat in Quran 2:40 and Jews be protected as “the people of the book.” Jews who follow their book and also believe the Quran are promised a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allaah and the Hebrew people forever).
Quran 2:41 Koran 2:41 And believe in what I (Allaah) have revealed (in the Quran) confirming that which is with you (the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat as proof to the stone idol worshipers of Makkah in Quran 6:114, Quran 46:10 and Quran 10:94 that the Quran is not an invented story) ..."
Quran 2:47 Koran 2:47 O Children of Israel, remember My (Allaah’s) favour which I (Allaah) bestowed on you (in the Torah covenant in Deuteronomy 31:9, Deuteronomy 4:13, Deuteronomy 28:69, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 7:9-7:12 commanding that no one shall add or subtract from the Torah in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 13:1 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 12:32 in a Christian Bible and forever in Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, Psalm 111:9, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people who are mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 and Quran 2:40) and that I (Allaah) preferred you over (the creatures of) the worlds (of humans and jinn as explained in Isaiah 53 here https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/isaiah-53-explained ).
Quran 2:122 Koran 2:122 O Children of Israel, remember My (Allaah’s) favour which I (Allaah) bestowed on you (in the Torah covenant in Deuteronomy 31:9, Deuteronomy 4:13, Deuteronomy 28:69, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 7:9-7:12 commanding that no one shall add or subtract from the Torah in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 13:1 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 12:32 in a Christian Bible and forever in Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, Psalm 111:9, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people who are mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 and Quran 2:40) and that I (Allaah) preferred you over (the creatures of) the worlds (of humans and jinn as explained in Isaiah 53 here https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/isaiah-53-explained ).
In Deuteronomy 7:6-7:8 Allaah tells the children of Israel that they were not chosen because they were great in numbers.
Allaah tells the children of Israel that they were chosen because Allaah is honouring the promise Allaah made with their fathers Abraham Isaac and Jacob meaning nothing that humans do can make Allaah not fulfill His promise to Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
Deuteronomy 7:6 For you are a holy people to the LORD your Allaah: the LORD your Allaah has chosen you to be His own treasure, out of all peoples that are on the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 7:7 The LORD did not set His love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people--for you were the fewest of all peoples--
Deuteronomy 7:8 but because the LORD loved you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, has the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
The teaching in Deuteronomy 7:6-7:8 is that Allaah always keeps His promise.
The plan of Allaah is that the children of Israel be a holy people as explained in Isaiah 53 here
https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/isaiah-53-explained
B. Allaah always keeps His promise and Allaah reveals He will make the righteous among the Hebrews into a Holy people in Deuteronomy 7:6-7:8 even through Allaah reveals in Deuteronomy 9:5-9:6 that some among the Hebrews are a stiff necked people meaning they do not quickly correct their wrong behaviour.
Quran 2:122 Koran 2:122 O Children of Israel, remember My (Allaah’s) favour which I (Allaah) bestowed on you and that I (Allaah) preferred you over (the creatures of) the worlds (of humans and jinn as explained in Isaiah 53 here https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/isaiah-53-explained ).
1 Samuel 15:29 He (Allaah) who is the strength of Israel does not lie or change His mind, for He (Allaah) is not a human being, that He (Allaah) should change His mind.
Isaiah 59:21 And as for Me (Allaah), this is My covenant with them (the Jewish people who are mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13), said the LORD; My spirit that is on you (the Jewish people), and My words (the Torah) which I (Allaah) have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed (off-spring), nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed (descendants), said the LORD, from now and forever.
Note 1. The promise of Allaah that the Torah is protected forever.
Isaiah 36:11 Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh: 'Please speak to your servants in the Aramaic language, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the Jews' language, (in case it is heard) in the ears of the people that are on the wall (surrounding Jerusalem).
Note 1. The word Jew is used by Prophet Isaiah meaning the promise of Allaah in Isaiah 59:21 that the Torah Taurat is protected forever is to the Jewish people.
Note 2. See the future of the Jewish people explained in Isaiah 53.
https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/isaiah-53-explained
Isaiah 36:12 But Rabshakeh (the officer representing Sennacherib the King of Assyria) said: 'Has my master (the King of Assyria) sent me to your master (the King of Judah), and to you (the representatives of the King of Judah), to speak these words? Has he (the King of Assyria) not sent me to (speak to) the (Hebrew) men that sit on the wall (surrounding Jerusalem, and speak these words in Hebrew to them warning that our Army will blockade Jerusalem and that they will have) to eat their own dung and to drink their own urine with you (if you do not give Jerusalem to us)?'
Isaiah 36:13 Then Rabshakeh (the officer representing the King of Assyria) stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language (of Hebrew to the men on the wall surrounding Jerusalem), and said: “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Note 1. The word Jew is used by Prophet Isaiah meaning the promise of Allaah in Isaiah 59:21 that the Torah Taurat is protected forever is to the Jewish people.
Note 2. The past and present and future of the Jewish people explained in Isaiah 53.

Deuteronomy 9:5 Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your Allaah will drive them out from before you, and that He may establish the word which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Deuteronomy 9:6 Know therefore that it is not for your righteousness that the LORD your Allaah gives you this good land to possess it; for you are a stiff necked people.
The teaching in Deuteronomy 9:5-9:6 is that Allaah always keeps His promise.
Allaah tells the children of Israel that they will be used by Allaah to punished the wicked nations in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine by giving that land to the children of Israel because Allaah always keeps His promise.
Allaah tells the children of Israel that Allaah is not giving the land to them because of their righteousness but because Allaah always keeps His promise.
The children of Israel disobeyed Allaah at Mount Sinai and are called stiff necked (meaning some among them are slow to correct their behaviour) to show that whatever happens Allaah will always honour His promise meaning you can always trust that Allaah will keep His promise meaning nothing that humans do can make Allaah not fulfill His promise to Abraham Isaac and Jacob.

23. Explain Deuteronomy 4:15 and Allaah has no form.
Explain Deuteronomy 4:2 and do not add or subtract from the Torah.
Explain Deuteronomy 4:16 and do not make images of Allaah.
Explain Deuteronomy 13:2-13:4 dreamer of dreams and do not worship gods you have not known.
Explain Deuteronomy 13:7-13:11 and do not worship gods you and your fathers have not known.
Explain the nature of Allaah.
A. The Torah says do not add or subtract from the Torah in Deuteronomy 4:2.
Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add to the word which I (Allaah) command you (the children of Israel, the Hebrews in the Torah Taurat), neither shall you subtract from it, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your Allaah which I (Allaah) command you (the children of Israel, the Hebrews in the Torah Taurat).
B. The Torah says Allaah has no form in Deuteronomy 4:15 meaning anything with form is not Allaah.
Deuteronomy 4:15 Be careful of yourselves (by remembering that) you saw no manner of form on the day that the LORD spoke to you in Horeb (Mount Sinai) out of the midst of the fire (meaning Allaah has no form because you heard Him but did not see anything)
C. The Torah says anyone who makes an image of Allaah is corrupt and has disobeyed the Commandment of Allaah forbidding any believer from making an image of Allaah in Deuteronomy 4:16.
Deuteronomy 4:16 incase you deal corruptly and make a graven image (of Allaah) in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female (which is forbidden in the Ten Commandments of Allaah).
D. The Torah warns the Hebrews not to follow a god that they did not know for example they did not know a god who has form.
The Allaah who is one has no form in Deuteronomy 4:15.
A god who is three in one has the form of a man which violates Deuteronomy 4:2 (do not add to the Torah), Deuteronomy 4:15 (Allaah has no form), Numbers 23:19 (Allaah is not a man or in the form of a man), 1 Samuel 15:29 (Allaah is not a man or in the form of a man) and Hosea 11:9 (Allaah is not a man or in the form of a man).
Deuteronomy 13:2 If there comes in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
Deuteronomy 13:3 and the sign or the wonder happens and then he spoke to you saying: "Let us go after other gods (not the one Allaah but a Allaah who is “three in one”), which you have not known, and let us serve them (not the one Allaah but a Allaah who is “three in one”)';
Deuteronomy 13:4 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your Allaah is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your Allaah with all your heart and with all your soul.
E. Allaah warns not to follow a god that you (the Hebrews) and your fathers (who were slaves in Egypt) did not know and do not listen to such invitations meaning Allaah will never be anything except what has been revealed to you and your fathers in the Torah and this is why Allaah has forbidden anyone from adding or subtracting to the Torah in Deuteronomy 4:2 meaning your Allaah has no form in Deuteronomy 4:15.
Deuteronomy 13:7 (Deuteronomy 13:6 in a Christian bible) If your brother (who is), the son of your mother (meaning a Jew because it is through the mother that the religion of Judaism is passed on), or your son, or your daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend, secretly entices you, saying: 'Let us go and serve other gods,' which you and your fathers have not known;
Note 1. You (the Hebrews) and your fathers (who were slaves in Egypt) did not know a god who has form.
The Allaah who is one has no form in Deuteronomy 4:15.
A god who is three in one has the form of a man which violates Deuteronomy 4:2 (do not add to the Torah), Deuteronomy 4:15 (Allaah has no form), Numbers 23:19 (Allaah is not a man or in the form of a man), 1 Samuel 15:29 (Allaah is not a man or in the form of a man) and Hosea 11:9 (Allaah is not a man or in the form of a man).
Deuteronomy 13:8 gods of the peoples that are around you, near or far, from the one end of the earth to the other
Deuteronomy 13:9 you shall not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare or conceal him.
Deuteronomy 13:11 “… he has sought to draw you (the children of Israel) away from the LORD your Allaah, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
F. Allaah has no form in Deuteronomy 4:15 therefore any teaching about Allaah that adds or subtracts from the Torah in Deuteronomy 4:2 by claiming Allaah has a form or is in the form of a man is a false teaching because it contradicts the Torah therefore such descriptions of Allaah with a form can only be a poetic description of Allaah who has no form..

25. Explain Deuteronomy 13:6 - 13:10
Explain Deuteronomy 13:6
Explain Deuteronomy 13:7
Explain Deuteronomy 13:8
Explain Deuteronomy 13:9
Explain Deuteronomy 13:10
Why is there a death punishment for a Hebrew who tells another Hebrew to follow other gods?
Allaah punished the people in Canaan by replacing them with the Hebrew people because the people in Canaan worshipped other god's and filled the holy land of Allaah with sin.
Deuteronomy 13:6 - 13:10 is a warning that the same punishment will come to those Hebrews who have replaced the people of Canaan in the Holy land of Allaah if the Hebrew people do what the people of Canaan did meaning Deuteronomy 13:6 - 13:10 is a warning not to sin in the Holy land of Allaah.
Ezekiel 16:32 You (Israel are) the adulterous wife that takes strangers (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known in Deuteronomy 13:7-13:9 in Tanakh or Deuteronomy 13:6-13:8 in Christian bible) instead of your husband (Allaah).
Note 1. Whenever Israel worships a god that was unknown to them or to their fathers it means Israel committed adultery.
The meaning is that the nature of Allaah will never change so beware of any claim that the nature of Allaah is different to how it was first revealed in the Torah.
For Israel to worship a god whose nature is different to Allaah in the Torah is called adultery meaning the nature of Allaah in the Torah will never change.
To worship any created thing as Allaah or part of Allaah or as a partner with Allaah is called idol worship.

a. Every prophet after Moses Musa is described by Deuteronomy 18:15, 18:18 – 18:22 including Prophet Joshua Yusha, Prophet Isaiah, Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad.
b. If Allaah did not reveal Deuteronomy 18:15, 18:18–18:22 then no one would know who is a true prophet and who is a false prophet.
c. All prophets raised up to Israel after Prophet Moses Musa can be judged to be true or false prophets by the guidance in Deuteronomy 18:15, 18:18–18:22.
d. No prophet is the same as Moses Musa but every prophet is like Moses Musa in Deuteronomy 18:15, 18:18–18:22 meaning every prophet delivers guidance from Allaah like Moses Musa delivered guidance from Allaah..
e. Prophet Joshua Yusha is given the authority of Prophet Moses Musa meaning Prophet Joshua Yusha is the first prophet after Moses Musa and he is like Moses Musa meaning he is a truthful prophet from Allaah.
After telling the people that a prophet will come from among them Moses Musa transfers his authority as a prophet to Joshua Yusha in front of all the nation of Israel.
Allaah tells Moses Musa to transfer his splendor onto Joshua Yusha in front of all the nation of Israel in Numbers 27:18- 27:23 so that after the death of Moses Musa the entire nation of Israel will listen to.Prophet Joshua Yusha.

Note 1. The children of Israel explained why they wanted prophets like Moses Musa to deliver the word of Allaah.
Deuteronomy 18:17 And the LORD said to me (Moses): 'They (the children of Israel) have spoken well in what they have said.
Note 1. Allaah agreed to send prophets like Moses Musa to deliver the word of Allaah to the children of Israel in Deuteronomy 18:15, 18:18 – 18:22.
Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (Allaah) shall raise up for them (the children of Israel) a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses Musa who delivered the Torah Taurat 3200 years ago when you were at Mount Sinai Horeb today in Egypt) from among their brothers brethren and I (Allaah through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel Jibril) shall put my (Allaah’s) words in the mouth of the prophet (meaning prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger), who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (Allaah) command him.”
Note 1. Prophet Joshua Yusha spoke to the people everything that Allaah put in his mouth as commanded in Deuteronomy 18:18.
Deuteronomy 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not listened to My (Allaah’s) words which he (the prophet after prophet, the messenger after messenger) shall speak in My (Allaah’s) name, I (Allaah) will require it of him (in Deuteronomy 18:15, 18:18 – 18:22).
Note 1. Prophet Joshua Yusha spoke to the people everything that Allaah put in his mouth.
Joshua 1:2 Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan (River), you (Prophet Joshua), and all these people, to the land which I do give to them the children of Israel.
Joshua 1:5 There will be no man able to stand against you (Prophet Joshua) all the days of your life; as I (Allaah) was with Moses, so I (Allaah) will be with you (Prophet Joshua); I (Allaah) will not fail you (Prophet Joshua), nor forsake you (Prophet Joshua).

Quran 30:30 Koran 30:30 ”… No one can alter what Allaah has created (in religion, in the Torah Taurat, the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran). That is the right religion (belief), but most people do not know (this).
However people can misunderstand the words of Allaah by not reading verses before and after a revealed verse.
A. Before combat an enemy must be invited to peace.
Deuteronomy 20:10 When you come near to a city to fight against it, then (first) proclaim peace to it.
Deuteronomy 20:11 And it shall be, if it (the city) gives you an answer of peace, and opens to you (its gates), then it (the city) shall be, that all the people that are found in it shall become tributary to you, and shall serve you (in peace).
Deuteronomy 20:12 And if it (the city) will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it.
Deuteronomy 20:13 And when the Lord your Allaah delivers it (the city) into your hand, you shall kill every male of it with the edge of the sword;
Deuteronomy 20:14 but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil of it, you shall take for a prey to yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your Allaah has given you.
Deuteronomy 20:15 This you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
Note 1. The above is the punishment to cities far away from the Hebrews who chose to fight instead of accepting peace with the Hebrews.
Deuteronomy 20:16 However of the cities of these peoples (in Canaan), that the LORD your Allaah gives you for an inheritance (in Canaan), you shall save alive nothing that breaths,
Note 1. Allaah is removing Idol worship from Canaan after warning the people in Canaan to leave or chose peace or fight.
Deuteronomy 20:17 but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; as the LORD your Allaah has commanded you;
Note 1. Allaah is removing Idol worship from Canaan after warning the people in Canaan to leave or chose peace or fight..
Deuteronomy 20:18 so that they do not teach you all their abominations, which they have done to their gods, and cause you to sin against the Lord your Allaah.
Note 1. Allaah explains why those in Canaan who do not leave or chose peace instead of fighting are to be destroyed.
Deuteronomy 20:19 When you shall besiege a city a long time in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy the trees there by wielding an axe against them; for you may eat of them, but you shall not cut them down; for is the tree of the field a man that it should be besieged by you?
Note 1. Do not cut down a tree.
Deuteronomy 20:20 Only the trees of which you know that they are not trees for food, them you may destroy and cut down, so that you may build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it (the city) fall.
Note 1. Do not cut down a tree except non food producing trees needed for building bulwarks.
The name of Allaah is in the holy spirit of Allaah (the holy angel of Allaah) in Exodus 23:21 because the angel speaks the words of Allaah.
The holy spirit (the holy angel) is not a Trinity with Allaah but is "one with Allaah" meaning the angel obeys Allaah and the angel is "the word of Allaah made spirit" when the angel appears in his true form which is like a dove meaning a body with wings meaning an angel or the angel is "the word of Allaah made flesh" when an angel appears in the form of a human.
Exodus 19:3 And Moses went up to Allaah, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying: 'This is what you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
Exodus 23:20 I (Allaah) will send an angel in front of you (the children of Israel), to keep you on the path, and to bring you to the place which I (Allaah) have prepared.
Note 1. Allaah created angels to do the will of Allaah inside the creation and the reason Allaah does not come inside the creation is explained in Exodus 33:20 and Deuteronomy 4:15-4:16.
Exodus 23:21 Take heed of him (the angel), and listen to his voice; do not be rebellious against him; for he will not pardon your transgression; for My name is in him.
Note 1. Allaah says "My name is in him" meaning the angel represents Allaah because the angel delivers the voice of Allaah when humans have conversations with Allaah through the mouth of the angel and the angel delivers the word of Allaah when humans receieve the revelations of Allaah from the mouth of the angel as explained in Deuteronomy 18:18.
Note 2. Allaah says "My name is in him" meaning the holy spirit of Allaah is the holy angel of Allaah who represents Allaah by delivering the voice of Allaah when humans have conversations with Allaah through the mouth of the holy spirit of Allaah (the holy angel of Allaah) and who also delivers the word of Allaah when humans receive the revelations of Allaah from the mouth of the holy spirit of Allaah (the holy angel of Allaah) as explained in Deuteronomy 18:18.

Exodus 23:22 But if you shall indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak (through his words); then I (Allaah) will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
Exodus 23:23 For My angel shall go before you, and bring you to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I (Allaah) will cut them off.
Exodus 23:24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do what they do (in idol worship); but you shall utterly overthrow them, and break in pieces their pillars (which they use for idol worship).
B. The command of Allaah in Numbers 25:16-25:18.
Numbers 25:16 And the Lord (Allaah) spoke to Moses, saying:
Numbers 25:17 'Distress (with hostility) the Midianites, and kill them;
Numbers 25:18 for they distressed you, by the plots that they made against you in the matter of (the idol worship of the god of) Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi their sister (which they gave for prostitution to entice you to stray away from Allaah, she was), the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister (Cozbi), who was killed on the day of the plague (that had come) because of Peor. (When she was killed the plague that was killing the Hebrew people ceased).'
Note 1. Moab was not destroyed because from the Moab a righteous woman called Ruth would descend.
C. Disobeying the command of Allaah in Numbers 31:14-31:18.
Numbers 31:14 And Moses was angry with the officers of the Army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
Numbers 31:15 And Moses said to them: 'Have you saved all the women alive? (and brought them here)
Numbers 31:16 Look these (women) caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam (through idol worship), to revolt (against Allaah) so as to break faith with the LORD (Allaah) in the matter of (the idol worship of the god of) Peor, and so the plague (causing death) was among the (Hebrews in the) congregation of the Lord (Allaah).
Numbers 31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that has known man by lying with him.
Numbers 31:18 But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
D. Obeying the command of Allaah in Joshua 5:13-5:15 and Joshua 6:2-6:10 and Joshua 6:20-6:21.
Joshua 5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went to him, and said to him: Are you for us, or for our enemies?'
Joshua 5:14 And he said: 'No (I am not against you), but I am captain of the army of the (angels of the) LORD (Allaah); I have now come (to help you).' And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him: 'What says my lord to his servant?'
Joshua 5:15 And the captain of the LORD'S army (of angels) said to Joshua: Take off your shoe from off your foot; for the place where you stand is holy.' And Joshua did so.
Joshua 6:2 And the LORD said to Joshua: 'See, I have given into your hand Jericho, and the king of it, even the mighty men of valour (their soldiers).
Joshua 6:3 And you shall compass (walk around) the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. This you shall do for six days.
Joshua 6:4 And seven priests shall bear seven rams' horns before the ark (of the covenant); and on the seventh day you shall compass (walk around) the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the horns.
Joshua 6:5 And it shall be, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the horn, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.'
Joshua 6:6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them: 'Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.'
Joshua 6:7 And he said to the people: 'Pass on, and compass (walk around) the city, and let the armed body pass on before the ark of the LORD.'
Joshua 6:8 And it was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven rams' horns before the LORD passed on, and blew with the horns; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
Joshua 6:9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew the horns, and the rearward went after the ark, (the priests) blowing with the horns continually.
Joshua 6:10 And Joshua commanded the people, saying: 'You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall you (all) shout.'
Joshua 6:20 So the people shouted, and [the priests] blew with the horns. And it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the horn, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Joshua 6:21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

28. Explain Deuteronomy 23:1-23:3
Genesis 19:30-19:38
Explain bastard in Judaism.
Explain mamzer in Judaism.
A bastard mamzer in Judaism is a person who is born from certain forbidden relationships like incest, adultery, remarriage without a divorce and more or is the descendant of such a person but does not include children born from unmarried mothers.
Deuteronomy 23:1 A man (a son) shall not take (marry) his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt (by sexual intercourse with his father’s wife).
Deuteronomy 23:2 He that is crushed or maimed in his private parts (and therefore is unable to have children) shall not enter (marry) into the assembly of the LORD (meaning shall not marry a woman who is able to produce children among the children of Israel).
Deuteronomy 23:3 A bastard (is a child born from the adultery of a married women but if one of the parents is not Jewish then the child is not a bastard in Judaism. A bastard is a person born from incest between two Jewish people. In Judaism a bastard is not a person who is born from an unmarried mother. A bastard is only produced by two Jewish persons. Incest between one or two non-Jews does not produce a bastard in Judaism meaning if such a person converted to Judaism they would have the same rights as all other Jews. These laws about who is a bastard only apply to Jews. The child of a bastard is also a bastard. Since Judaism is inherited through the mother the child of a male bastard and a non-Jewish woman is not a bastard but the child of a female bastard and a non-Jewish man is a bastard. A bastard) shall not enter (marry) into the assembly of the LORD (meaning shall not marry an ordinary woman who is among the children of Israel); even to the tenth generation (meaning forever) shall none of his (descendants) enter (marry) into the assembly of the LORD (meaning shall not marry an ordinary woman who is among the children of Israel however a bastard can marry another bastard or a convert to Judaism. Other than in the matter of marriage a bastard has the rights and respect given to all Jews meaning a bastard can become a judge or a king or the greatest Torah scholar or the most righteous).
Note 1. The laws for marraige concerning the bastard mamzer in Judaism has the purpose of maintaining the pedigree of the descendants of the twelve tribes of Israel according to the laws of marriage in the Torah.
A. Marriage before the Torah was revealed to Moses Musa.
a. In the time of Adam and Eve Allaah decreed that brother would marry sister.
Genesis 5:4 And the days of Adam after he begot Seth were eight hundred years; and he begot sons and daughters.
Video: Where did Cain get his wife? Rabbi Tovia Singer explains who married Adam’s sons.

b. Prophet Lot Lut committed no sin in the Torah Taurat.
When Prophet Lot Lut and his two righteous daughters were saved from the destruction of Sodom they lived in a cave.
His two daughters through that they were the only 3 people alive on the Earth after the destruction of Sodom and so they decided to put alcohol in the drink of their father so that he would be blameless for any sin because in their eyes he was the last man alive on the Earth and without having children through him the human race would end meaning Prophet Lot Lut had no knowledge of what was done meaning he committed no sin.
There are many lessons in Tanakh to remind people that prophets are humans meaning give all worship to Allaah and not to the messengers of Allaah.
In the time of Prophet Lot Lut his two daughters slept with him in Genesis 19:30-19:38 and from those children Prophet Lot Lut would become the father of the Moabites and the Ammonites.
Video: Why did the daughters of Lot sleep with their father? Rabbi Tovia Singer’s answer will surprise you!

c. Prophet Abraham Ibrahim’s wife Sarah was his half sister meaning Abraham Ibrahim and Sarah were from one father but from different mothers and they gave birth to Isaac Ishaq.
Genesis 20:12 And moreover she (Sarah) is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and so she became my wife (Abraham’s Ibrahim’s wife).
d. Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Rebekah's first born son Esau married his cousin Mahalah, daughter of his father's brother Prophet Ishmael Ismail.
e. Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel married two sisters Leah and Rachel.
f. Amram Imran married his father's sister Jochebed meaning Aaron Harun, Moses Musa, and Miriam where born from a marriage between a nephew and an aunt.
Exodus 6:20 And Amram Imran took for himself Jochebed his father's sister to be his wife; and she bore him Aaron Harun and Moses Musa. And the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty and seven years.
Number 26:59 And the name of Amram's Imran’s wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and she bore to Amram Imram (these children) Aaron Harun, Moses Musa, and Miriam their sister.
B. Marriage after the Torah was revealed to Moses Musa.
Marriage with a sister-in-law or the widow of a deceased brother is in certain cases a religious duty however if there is no brother then the old custom requires the father to marry his daughter-in-law according to Genesis 38:26.
Genesis 38:26 And Judah (the father-in-law of Tamar) acknowledged them (meaning Judah made her pregnant), and said: 'She (Tamar) is more righteous than I; because I did not give her to Shelah my son.' And he knew her again (sexually) no more.

Conclusion.
Laws about marriage such as bastard mamzer which includies incest in the Torah apply from the time they were revealed and did not apply to people in ealier times to whom it was not revealed.
Quran 2:141 Koran 2:141 ”… You shall not be asked about what other people did in past generations (meaning pay attention to what you do in your life because this life has rewards for righteousness that will be given to you in the hereafter. Allaah knows the truth about the faith and the religion of the people of past generations and there is no reward in the hereafter for you in arguing this question).

29. Explain Deuteronomy 34:5-34:12.
Explain Deuteronomy 34:9
Explain Deuteronomy 34:10
Why is Deuteronomy 34:10 in present tense and not in future tense?
Who wrote the Torah in Deuteronomy 34:5-34:12
Who wrote the Torah?
Who wrote in the Torah after the death of Moses?
Who wrote in the Taurat after the death of Prophet Moses?
Who wrote in the Taurat after the death of Prophet Musa?
Torah Deuteronomy 34:5-34:12 are not the words of Moses because they are about the death of Moses and after the death of Moses so who wrote it?
Torah Deuteronomy 34:5-34:12 was written after the death of Moses by his assistant Prophet Joshua Yusha who is described in the next verse Deuteronomy 34:9.and in Deuteronomy 18:15 and Deuteronomy 18:18.
Why is Deuteronomy 34:10 in present tense and not in future tense?
In Deuteronomy 34:10 Allaah reveals the future (in the present tense because Allaah sees the future in the present) to Joshua the son of Nun who is described as “full of the spirit of wisdom” in Deuteronomy 34:9 in the same way as Allaah revealed the future words that Prophet Muhammad shall speak on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement (in the present tense because Allaah sees the future in the present) in Quran 25:30.
The use of present tense showed to the people that what was revealed of the future came from Allaah and not from Joshua the son of Nun or from Prophet Muhammad.
Deuteronomy 34:9 And Joshua Yusha the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses Musa had laid his hands on him; and the children of Israel listened to him, and they did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Deuteronomy 34:10 And there was no other prophet who arose in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.
Note 1. The future revealed to Joshua Yusha the son of Nun in present tense.
Quran 25:30 Koran 25:30 And (on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) the messenger (Prophet Muhammad) said, “My Lord (Allaah) my people have abandoned (deserted) this Quran (to follow false messages, false words, false news, false reports, false information, false statements, false hadith).”
Note 1. The future revealed to Prophet Muhammad in present tense.
Note 2. On the Day of Resurrection and Judgement Prophet Muhammad will say “My Lord my people have abandoned this Quran (to follow false messages, false words, false news, false reports, false information, false statements, false hadith).”
Video: Obsession with false hadith culture Is corrupting Islam.

Deuteronomy 18:15 A prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) will the LORD your Allaah raise up to you (the children of Israel), from the midst of you, of your brethren, like (you did) to me (Prophet Moses Musa); to him (the prophet after prophet that is sent to you from Allaah, the messenger after messenger that is sent to you from Allaah) you shall (also) listen.
Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (Allaah) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers and I (Allaah through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (Allaah’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (Allaah) command.”
Note 1. In Deuteronomy 34:10 Joshua the son of Nun is speaking the words Allaah has commanded him to speak using the present tense meaning Allaah sees the future in the present.
Note 2. In Quran 25:30 Prophet Muhammad is speaking the words Allaah has commanded him to speak using the present tense meaning Allaah sees the future in the present.
