‘THE GOSPEL OF BARNABAS’

Excerpts from the book:
“GOD’S PRESCRIPTION
– AL-QURAN”
(By: M. Javed
Naseem)
There are
some funny rumors and comments being posted on Google+ about the resignation
of the Christian (Catholic) Pope suggesting (even declaring) that he and some
other priests had secretly embraced Islam, hence the resignation. It is said
that Pope had seen a secret but authentic copy of the Bible surfaced recently
in the news in which there was a mention of Prophet Muhammad’s arrival. People
in Muslim countries love this kind of stuff as they don’t care about the
authenticity or the origin of these stories. They don’t even care about the
authenticity of the Ahadith (Prophet’s sayings). We don’t encourage
investigation and research to find out the truth. We love speculation and many
times we take important decisions on the basis of that. That’s our culture,
unfortunately.
What are
the ‘real’ reasons behind Pope’s resignation, nobody knows except the people
surrounding the Pope. God knows how true these ‘sensational’ stories are.
Anything is possible these days!
But what
about the Bible? The truth is that the Bible in question is called: ‘The Gospel
of Barnabas’. It existed for centuries along with other versions of the Bible.
It dates back to the 5th century. Since it contained some authentic
references, it did not suite the agenda of the authorities who wanted to promote
their own brand of ‘Christianity’. Therefore, it was, sort of, discarded, made
to disappear and removed from the public reach. Then, in the year 2000, they
found an ancient copy of this scripture in Turkey Europe .
Finally, the Vatican
I included
the news item of London
I have also
written quite a few posts on Google+ (i.e., Jesus Talks About Muhammad, s.a.w.;
Islam Was in The Heaven Before Adam; Islam Was The Only Religion Prescribed by
Allah; etc., etc.) on the basis of the Gospel of Barnabas. Once again, I will
try to enlighten the Muslim and non-Muslim readers on this subject. But first,
the news item:
Excerpts from:
‘GOD’S PRESCRIPTION’
Chapter: All Prophets Were Muslims, pages: 64-126
“… On the other hand, the verses of
the Holy Quran were preserved and memorized by the companions of the Prophet
(s.a.w.) as soon as they came out of the mouth of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.)
directly. And that is why these are called ‘authentic’. Holy Quran is the Word
of God and God Himself took the responsibility to protect/preserve it.
As far as Bible is concerned, the
Gospel of Barnabas seems to be very interesting as it contains some authentic
references. Just recently, actually on 24th and 25th of
May 2012, a
newspaper from London , Daily Mail, published
account of a sacred text written on animal hide, seized from antiques smugglers
in Turkey
The Turkish authorities believe that
the text is original and authentic. In the meantime, Iran
The small book, written on animal
hide, apparently states that Jesus was never crucified and that he himself
predicted the coming of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.). Written in Syriac, a
dialect of Aramaic, the gospel even predicts the coming of the last Islamic
messiah, the report adds. An Iranian press report has claimed that its contents
will trigger Christianity’s downfall by proving that Islam is the final and righteous
religion.
The Basij Press claims the text was
written in the 5th or 6th century and it predicted the
coming of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) and the religion of Islam. It says the
Christian world denies the existence of such a gospel.
Of course they will deny it. The
Christian church cannot face the truth. Their priests have been fooling around
with young boys and nuns for centuries and they kept denying it. They have been
telling their children cock and bull stories (like red-nosed reindeer, Santa Claus
distributing gifts, decorating a certain tree, and Easter eggs, etc.) to fool
them. Every year they dump in the ocean hundreds of tons of mail stamped and
addressed to Santa Claus. They don’t want people to wake up and start
questioning the crap being delivered in the name of religion. If they spread
true teachings of Jesus and his Lord Almighty, the billion-dollar Christmas
industry will collapse.
The Turkish Basij Press claims that
Chapter 41 of the Gospel (of Barnabas) reads: ‘God has hidden himself as
Archangel Michael ran them (Adam and Eve) out of heaven, (and) when Adam
turned, he noticed that at top of the gateway to heaven, it was written “La
elah ela Allah, Mohamad rasool Allah”, meaning Allah is the only God and
Muhammad His Prophet.
The Basij report suggests that the
discovery is so immense that it will shake world politics. ‘The discovery of
the original Barnabas Bible will now undermine the Christian Church and its
authority and will revolutionize the religion in the world’, it states. ‘The
most significant fact, though, is that this Bible has predicted the coming of
Prophet Muhammad and in itself has verified the religion of Islam.’
Well, wait and see what happens when
the house of cards shakes. This report has only scratched the surface. The
truth is hidden and needs some good digging.
I was a little surprised to see the
comments made by Phil Lawler, a writer on the Catholic Culture website. These
comments were published by the newspaper Daily Mail of London, UK. He says:
‘Keep in mind that the dating of the document is critical. By the 7th
century it did not take much foresight to ‘predict’ the appearance of Muhammad.’
My question to Phil Lawler is: On
what grounds or basis could you make such a prediction of coming of Muhammad
(s.a.w.)? The Christian Church had removed from the Bible all references about Islam and Muhammad (s.a.w.).
Logically, you have to base your prediction on some kind of evidence or a
reference from the Torah or the Bible. I think the panic has started setting
in.
The forces of evil have always been
plotting and planning against Islam and the Prophets of Allah. Sometimes, they
inflict heavy damages too. But Allah says in the Holy Quran that ‘He is the
Best Planner.’
Excerpts from the Chapter:
“Jesus Talks About
Muhammad, s.a.w.”
Pages: 46-62
From
the Gospel of Barnabas, Chapter 96:
“When the prayer was ended, the
priest said with a loud voice: “Stay, Jesus, for we need to know who you are,
for the quieting of our nation”. Jesus answered: “I am Jesus, son of Mary, of
the seed of David, a man that is mortal and fears God, and I seek that to God
be given honor and glory”.
‘The priest answered: “In the Book
of Moses it is written that our God must send us the Messiah, who shall come to
announce to us that which God wills, and shall bring to the world the mercy of
God. Therefore I pray you tell us the truth, are you the Messiah of God whom we
expect?”
‘Jesus answered: “It is true that
God has so promised, but indeed I am not he, for he is made before me, and
shall come after me”. The priest answered: “By your words and signs at any rate
we believe you to be a prophet and an holy one of God, wherefore I pray you in
the name of all Judea and Israel
Chapter
97:
‘Jesus answered: “As God lives, in
whose presence my soul stands, I am not the Messiah whom all the tribes of the
earth expect, even as God promised to our father Abraham, saying: “In your seed
will I bless all the tribes of the earth”. But when God shall take me away from
the world, Satan will raise again this accursed sedition, by making the impious
believe that I am God and son of God, whence my words and my doctrine shall be
contaminated, insomuch that scarcely shall there remain thirty faithful ones;
whereupon God will have mercy upon the world, and will send his Messenger for
whom he has made all things, who shall come from the south with power, and
shall destroy the idols with the idolaters who shall take away the dominion
from Satan which he has over men. He shall bring with him the mercy of God for
salvation of them that shall believe in him, and blessed is he who shall
believe his words.’
“Unworthy though I am to untie his
hosen, I have received grace and mercy from God to see him”. Then answered the
priest, with the governor and the king, saying: “Distress not yourself, O
Jesus, holy one of God, because in our time shall not this sedition be any
more, seeing that we will write to the sacred Roman senate in such wise that by
imperial decree none shall any more call you God or son of God”. Then Jesus
said: “With your words I am not consoled, because where you hope for light
darkness shall come; but my consolation is in the coming of the Messenger, who
shall destroy every false opinion of me, and his faith shall spread and shall
take hold of the whole world, for so has God promised to Abraham our father.
And that which gives me consolation is that his faith shall have no end, but
shall be kept inviolate by God”.
‘The priest answered: “After the coming
of the Messenger of God shall other prophets come?” Jesus answered: “There
shall not come after him true prophets sent by God, but there shall come a
great number of false prophets, whereat I sorrow. For Satan shall raise them up
by the just judgment of God, and they shall hide themselves under the pretext
of my gospel”. Herod answered: “How is it a just judgment of God that such
impious men should come?”
‘Jesus answered: “It is just that he
who will not believe in the truth to his salvation should believe in a lie to
his damnation. Wherefore I say to you, that the world has ever despised the
true prophets and loved the false, as can be seen in the time of Micaiah and
Jeremiah. For every like loves his like”.
‘Then said the priest: “How shall
the Messiah be called, and what sign shall reveal his coming?” Jesus answered:
“The name of the Messiah is admirable, for God himself gave him the name when
he had created his soul, and placed it in a celestial splendor. God said: ‘Wait
Muhammad; for your sake I will to create paradise, the world, and a great
multitude of creatures, whereof I make you a present, insomuch that whoever
shall bless you shall be blessed, and whoever shall curse you shall be
accursed. When I shall send you into the world I shall send you as my Messenger
of salvation, and your word shall be true, insomuch that heaven and earth shall
fail, but your faith shall never fail’. Muhammad is his blessed name”. Then the
crowd lifted up their voices, saying: “O God send us your Messenger; O Muhammad,
come quickly for the salvation of the world!”
