Page 13 - Love in the Gospel

parts of the Gospel have been dis-
torted, and this has detracted from
its true meaning. The guide that
shows which parts of the Gospel is
true to its origin and which have
been contorted is the Qur'an, the
final Holy Book sent by God. The
Qur'an confirms the true parts of
the Torah and the Gospel and
abolishes the altered parts. In
this respect, the Qur'an is a
judge for those who have faith.
For example, in the Qur'an,
God warns Christians about
their belief in the trinity and their naming the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) as the son of God, -
surely God is above such thoughts- and
warns them about their deviant beliefs:
"Those who say that the Messiah,
son of Mary, is God are unbeliev-
ers. The Messiah said, 'Tribe of
Israel! Worship God, my Lord
and your Lord. If anyone as-
sociates anything with God,
God has forbidden him the
Garden and his refuge will be
the Fire.' The wrongdoers will
have no helpers." (Surat al-Ma'ida,
72)
Those who say that God is the third
of three are unbelievers. There is
no god but One God. If they do not
stop saying what they say, a
painful punishment will afflict
those among them who are un-
believers. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 73)
