The Name that is Above All Names


Phillipians 2:8-12

Arabic Life Application Bible (ALAB)

 8 وَإِذْ ظَهَرَ بِهَيْئَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، أَمْعَنَ فِي الاِتِّضَاعِ، وَكَانَ طَائِعاً حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ، مَوْتِ الصَّلِيبِ.
 9 لِذَلِكَ أَيْضاً رَفَّعَهُ اللهُ عَالِياً، وَأَعْطَاهُ الاِسْمَ الَّذِي يَفُوقُ كُلَّ اسْمٍ،
 10 لِكَيْ تَنْحَنِيَ سُجُوداً لاِسْمِ يَسُوعَ كُلُّ رُكْبَةٍ، سَوَاءٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَمْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَمْ تَحْتَ الأَرْضِ،
 11 وَلِكَيْ يَعْتَرِفَ كُلُّ لِسَانٍ بِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، لِمَجْدِ اللهِ الآبِ.
 12 إِذَنْ، يَاأَحِبَّائِي، كَمَا كُنْتُمْ تُطِيعُونَ دَائِماً، لاَ كَمَا لَوْ أَنَّنِي حَاضِرٌ وَحَسْبُ، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى كَثِيراً الآنَ وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ، كَذَلِكَ اسْعَوْا لِتَحْقِيقِ خَلاَصِكُمْ عَمَلِيّاً بِخَوْفٍ وَارْتِعَادٍ،

Wake Up America -- A Couple of Paragraphs from A.A. Maududi on Jihad and the Defense of Islam

It is essentially a test of our sincerity as believers in Islam. If we do not defend a friend of ours against plots or assaults from his enemies, nor care for his needs, we are indeed false pretenders of friendship. In the same way, if we profess belief in Islam, we must jealously guard and uphold the prestige of Islam. Our sole guide for our conduct must be the interests of Muslims at large and the service of Islam in the face of which all our personal considerations must sink low.” JIHAD      “Jihad is a part of this overall defense of Islam. Jihad means to struggle to the utmost of one’s capacity. A man who exerts himself physically or mentally or spends his wealth in the cause of God is indeed engaged in jihad. But in the language o...

John Esposito’s Deceptions on ‘Islamophobia’ Posted By  Hasan Mahmud  On August 22, 2011  John Esposito In most cases, a patient won’t even realize, let alone resist, when a doctor betrays him. I am a Muslim. I believe that accepting our (Muslims’) share in creating “Islamophobia” in the West will help eliminate it.

Esposito ignores that in our global village the West is regularly flooded by violence coming from Muslim societies; violence which is perpetrated in the name of Islam while citing Quranic verses and the Prophet’s examples. The list is long. Here are some examples: 1. A Sharia court stoned to death a gang-raped girl, who was a minor at the time. 2. A Shar...
