Al Fadi  discusses the subject of intercession in Islam. He points to his Facebook post on March 3rd.

What is the Kaaba? Why do muslims face it when they pray? Who built it and why? What do muslims do when they go on a pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca? Al Fadi and Sam Shamoun are starting a new series on this. Listen as they answer the above questions and give more details about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi highlights one Quranic passage(Q 48: 8-9) to show that the word tawheed in the Quran does not mean oness but unification. He goes on to discuss several English translations beside the Arabic to show that honor and reverence are ascribed to Muhammad as to Allah making Mohammad a partner with Allah(See Facebook post on Feb.23).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi explains in this episode that Muhammad is the supreme deity in Islam and without him their is no salvation.  He explains the post on Feb. 14 of his Facebook page Alfadi.cira, which he calls " Devastating Dilemma". Using Q 9:103, he explains that if Muhammad purify and sanctify muslims; then he is "god" or that verse no longer applies because Muhammad is dead. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode Al Fadi and Sam Shamoun discuss passages from the Quran and other quranic sources that is telling muslims to pray to Mohammad for the forgiveness of their sins.  By doing that Muhammad made himself the muslims saviour and make them believe that they do not need Jesus as a saviour.  Not to mention that by that claim he is making himself equal to God who forgives sin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sam and Al Fadi continue to discuss the dilemma of who God is praying to in Islam; when muslims pray five times a day saying;"Sala Allah Alayhi wa sallam". Is God praying to Mohammad or to himself? If Allah is invoking Mohammad; does that mean that Allah is equal to Mohammad? That is a massive dilemma.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To worship; Dua'a; supplication are the same thing.  Al Fadi and Sam Shamoun continue to discuss what it means that God worships.  It could mean that he is praying to himself, praying to other Gods, or He is more than one person.

In the Quran 33:43,56, Why does Allah,his angel and muslims pray, and to whom? Al Fadi and Sam Shamoun explain.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sam Shamoun with Al Fadi answer the muslim objection: if Jesus is God why the is he praying to the Father? 1. The three eternal persons of the one triune God has fellowship with one another, and prayer is a form of fellowship (John 17: 5,24).  2. Jesus became flesh(man), he became the perfect man who loved, obeyed, and worshiped God( John 1:14, 6:38).  3. Psalm 102: 25-27, Hebrews 1: 8-12) shows that the Father also glorify and praises the son. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Muslims believe that the Quran we have today is an exact replica of the Quran in the time of Muhammad (7th century),and it is  completely preserved in heaven.  Al Fadi says that we do not have a complete 7th century Quran that matches today's 1924 edition of the Quran.  He adds that today's Quran was standardized in 1924 (Cairo edition), and It was based on oral transmission and not on any manuscripts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Quran(4:71) appears to attack the false trinity (God,Jesus,and Mary).  It also affirms that Jesus is God's word and a Sprit of God, which makes him equal to God and divine.  Listen to Al Fadi as he gives explanation from both the Quran and the Bible to prove that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Quran says that Christian believe that Allah(God) is one third of three members(Q 5: 73-75); Who are these three according to the Quran? What do Bible believing Christians and the Bible say what the trinity is? Do Christians believe in more than one God? Does the Quran make a sound argument when it accuses the Christian of worshiping three Gods? listen as Al Fadi explains.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
