                       O People of the Book! Our messenger has come to you, mak-

                       ing clear to you much of the Book that you have kept con-
                       cealed, and passing over a lot. A Light has come to you
                       from Allah, and a Clear Book. (Surat al-Ma’ida:15)
                       The Qur'an describes, in some detail, the lives of Moses
                  (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), the lives of their fol-
                  lowers, their moral values, how Muslims look at Jews and
                  Christians, what their attitudes toward them should be, and
                  other such matters. One piece of information is which
                  Christian and Jewish beliefs and laws have become cor-
                  rupted. Heading this list is the Christian belief that the
                  Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is Allah's son. (Allah is surely beyond
                  that.) Based upon this mistaken belief, they have sought to

                  deify the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). (Allah is surely beyond
                  that.) The belief in the trinity is another fundamental, but
                  distorted, Christian belief. Allah reveals that Christians
                  have assumed a major responsibility because they allowed
                  such distortions to enter their religion:
                       The Jews say: "Ezra is the son of Allah," and the Christians
                       say: "The Messiah is the son of Allah." That is what they
                       say with their mouths, copying the words of those who did

                       not believe before. Allah fight them! How corrupted they
                       are! (Surat at-Tawba:30)
                       O People of the Book! Do not go to excess in your religion.
                       Say nothing but the truth about Allah. The Messiah, Jesus
                       son of Maryam, was only the messenger of Allah and His
