Why Did They Become Muslims

“There are people who argue that the Gospel attributed to
Matthew was not really written by him. Today many ecclesiastical
people hold that the so-called Gospel was written by a person
shrouded in mystery. That mysterious person took the Gospel of
Matthew, changed it as he wished, and added many other
statements into it. His style is extremely clear and smooth. In
contrast, the style in the original Matthew was more ponderous
and its statements contained more reasoning. Matthew passed all
the statements he had seen and heard through the sieve of his mind
and reason, and wrote them down only after being fully convinced
that they were the Word of Allah. The text that we now have in the
name of the Gospel of Matthew does not reflect the same
circumspection.”
Since the Word of Allah could not be changed continuously,
the statements quoted above would suffice to prove that today’s
Gospel of Matthew was written by human hands. The Gospel of
Matthew was lost, and a new Gospel was written by an
undistinguished person. No one knows who that person was.
The four Gospels contained in the New Testament part of the
Bible, Matthew excluded, were written by John, by Luke, and by
Mark. Of these people, it is only John, [the son of Îsâ’s ‘alaihissalâm’
maternal aunt], who had seen Îsâ (Jesus) ‘alaihis-salâm’.
Yet he wrote his Gospel in Samos after Îsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’ was
raised to heaven. Luke and Mark, on the other hand, had never
seen Îsâ ‘alaihis-salâm’. Mark was Peter’s translator. Not only the
Gospel of Matthew, but also the Gospel of John was written and
changed by someone else. This thesis will be proved on the pages
ahead. In short, there are various different narrations concerning
the four Gospels. One fact, however, is agreed on by the entire
world: that these four Gospels consist of man-made stories
wherein discordant accounts are given about the same events, (as
you will see further ahead). They are not the Word of Allah.
Before embarking on a discourse about the errors in the Holy
Bible, i.e. in the Old and New Testaments, we would like to touch
upon another aspect of the Torah and the Bible. The following
story was told by a person who had held many debates with
Christians and who had confuted them:
“One day I requested of my Christian neighbours: ‘Nowadays I
have concerned myself with the Holy Bible. I want to read you a
passage from it.’ They were very much pleased about my being
interested in the Holy Bible, and rejoiced with the hope that I
