“People of The Book”

It is often claimed that Christian & Jews are “People of the Book”, and this could not be further from the truth.

لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ قُلْ فَمَن يَمْلِكُ مِنَ ٱللَّـهِ شَيْـًٔا إِنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُهْلِكَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا وَلِلَّـهِ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَٱللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

5:17 They have disbelieved/reneged who say: “Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam.”  Say thou: “Who would have power over Allah for anything if He wished to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam, and his mother and everyone upon the earth altogether?” And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He creates what He wills; and Allah is over all things powerful

لَقَدْ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَقَالَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّـهَ رَبِّى وَرَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّـهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ

5:72 They have disbelieved/reneged who say: “Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam .” And the Messiah said: “O children of Israel: serve Allah, my Rabb and your Rabb; whoso ascribes a partnership to Allah , him has Allah forbidden the Jannah, and his shelter is the Fire; and for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.”

لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَـٰثَةٍ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّآ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ وَإِن لَّمْ يَنتَهُوا۟ عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

5:73 They have disbelieved/reneged who say: “Allah is the third of three.” And there is no ilah save One ilah. And if they desist not from so saying, there will touch those who renege among them a painful punishment.

وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّـهِ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَـٰرَى ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّـهِ ذَٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ يُضَـٰهِـُٔونَ قَوْلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ قَـٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّـهُ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

9:30 And the Yahood: “ʿUzayr is the son of Allah”; and the Nasara say: “The Messiah is the son of Allah.” That is the speech of their mouths; they imitate the speech of those who disbelieved/reneged before. May Allah kill them! How are they deluded?

Sunnis, shias, Christian’s & Jews are mutashabihaat of the Yahood & Nasara.

قَـٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّـهُ – They also never translate this correctly

SunnatAllah does not change 33:38, 33:62, 35:43, 40:85, 48:23

&

The sunnah of the messengers does not change 17:77

مَّا كَانَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ مِنْ حَرَجٍ فِيمَا فَرَضَ ٱللَّـهُ لَهُۥ سُنَّةَ ٱللَّـهِ فِى ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّـهِ قَدَرًا مَّقْدُورًا

33:38 There is no blame upon the Nabi concerning what Allah ordained for him. The Sunnat of Allah among those who passed away before — and the command of Allah is a destiny decreed —

سُنَّةَ ٱللَّـهِ فِى ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ ٱللَّـهِ تَبْدِيلًا

33:62 The Sunnat of Allah among those who passed away before[…];2 and thou wilt not find for Sunnat Allah any change. 

ٱسْتِكْبَارًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَكْرَ ٱلسَّيِّئِ وَلَا يَحِيقُ ٱلْمَكْرُ ٱلسَّيِّئُ إِلَّا بِأَهْلِهِۦ فَهَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا سُنَّتَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ فَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ ٱللَّـهِ تَبْدِيلًا وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ ٱللَّـهِ تَحْوِيلًا

35:43 Waxing proud in the land, and scheming evil; but the evil scheme surrounds none save its authors. Then look they save for the Sunnat of the former peoples? And thou wilt not find in the SunnatAllah any change; and thou wilt not find in the SunnatAllah any alteration.

فَلَمْ يَكُ يَنفَعُهُمْ إِيمَـٰنُهُمْ لَمَّا رَأَوْا۟ بَأْسَنَا سُنَّتَ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلَّتِى قَدْ خَلَتْ فِى عِبَادِهِۦ وَخَسِرَ هُنَالِكَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ

40:85 But their faith did not benefit them when they saw Our might — the SunnatAllah which has passed among His servants[…] — and thereupon the Kafiroon were lost.

سُنَّةَ ٱللَّـهِ ٱلَّتِى قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ ٱللَّـهِ تَبْدِيلًا

48:23 The SunnatAllah from before. And thou wilt not find in the SunnatAllah any change.

سُنَّةَ مَن قَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَا وَلَا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحْوِيلًا

17:77 The Sunnat of those We sent before thee of Our messengers. and thou wilt not find in Our Sunnat any change.
