Be Misal Bashar
بے مثل و بے مثال بشرﷺ الحمداللّٰہ رب...
Almighty Allah had been sending Prophets and Messengers to mankind in order to invite them to the worship of Allah alone, to order them not to worship anything else besides Allah and bring them out of the darkness of polytheism and into the light of Monotheism. All the Prophets preached the belief in the Oneness of Allah therefore we come across with numerous verses in Quran and Bible that authenticates the core belief of Islam, Christianity and Judaism which is oneness of Allah. The following verses from the Noble Qur’an prove this fact:
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ ۖ
{And verily We have sent among every nation a Messenger (proclaiming) worship Allah alone and avoid Taaghoot (false deities)}, 16:36
قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالَوْا إِلَىٰ كَلِمَةٍ سَوَاءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَلَّا نَعْبُدَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ وَلَا نُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَقُولُوا اشْهَدُوا بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ
Say, “O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you – that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah.” But if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him].” (3:64)
Since Bible is the manipulated and altered form of Tawrat and Injil, still we find some concrete and solid evidences that illustrate that those who believe in Bible must also believe in one and only God. And on the basis of these similar commandments, Allah invites Christians and Jews to come to an equitable belief. Monotheism is explicitly mentioned in the Bible with the following words: According to the Bible it was taught by Moses: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. (Deuteronomy 6:4) According to the Bible it was taught by Jesus that the most important commandment of God is believing in one Lord: One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” The most important one,” answered Jesus, is this: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.” (Mark 12:28-29) Read some more verses on Monotheism in Bible:
Not only has this but the Bible also urged its followers to worship like Muslims:
From this conversation, you will observe that worshiping other than one Lord is not only against the teachings of Islam but simultaneously it is against the teachings and commandments of Bible. The one who believes in the Bible must also believe in the oneness of God.
