Quran vs The True Furqan

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Katakanlah(wahai Muhammad):"Sesungguhnya jika sekalian manusia dan jin berhimpun dengan tujuan hendak membuat dan mendatangkan sebanding dengan Al-Quran ini, mereka tidak akan dapat membuat dan mendatangkan yang sebanding dengannya, walaupun mereka bantu-membantu sesama sendiri". QS 17:88

saya memang sangat sangat sangat jarang menulis blog, tetapi hari ini tergerak hati untuk mencurahkan secubit pendapat berkenaan se"pucuk" emel yang diterima...

thanks syamin for forwarding it to me.. saya sgt jarang forward emel, tp this particular one, I felt obliged to forward it... agak...no no, SANGAT pelik bila tgk gambar dlm emel tu, woman as imam(leader of the prayer), dan makmumnya(followers of the prayer) ada lelaki dan perempuan bercampur dalam satu saf (the line we stand in prayers).. and then kat bawah tu ada tulis pasal
"The True Furqan" or in arabic, Furqan-al-haq..

so i went and googled The True Furqan( i'll type it as TTF in short), and yes, it exist... I read some of its so-called verses, which tries, i repeat, TRIES to immitate what the Quran would be like... but obviously with little success..

If you were to google it further and read up the wiki description of it, I quote "According to Shorrosh, The True Furqan is an attempt to respond to the challenge in the Quran that none can create a work like it, and incorporates a Christian rather than Islamic message."

so, there you have it, an attempt to challenge the Quran, I believe they were refering to the verse I started this post with..

Obviously, it was written by the Christians...(it says so, just search it up) now dont get me wrong, I am not writting this post to start some "Hate group" towards christianity... no no no... I am writing this simply to give a piece of my mind on this issue...

Now, bagi org Islam, ramai yg berpendapat bahawa ramai org Kristian yg berusaha keras menjalankan kegiatan dakyah(cuba memurtadkan dan menyelewengkan aqidah umat Islam), and that they try really really hard in many many ways possible... segala cara dihalalkan, janji mampu menggoyah akidah Islam...

lets look at it another way (pinjam dari bro shah kirit). If you put yourself in the Christians' shoes, bukankah orang Islam juga menjalankan kegiatan dakyah kepada org Kristian? org Islam juga cuba "memurtadkan" org Kristian by converting them to muslims..
so, yang kita panggil "dakyah" itu adalah dakwah(preaching) mereka.

bagi kita, Islam itu agama yang benar, hanya org Islam, yang mengaku keesaan Allah, yang BERSAKSI BAHAWA TIADA TUHAN SELAIN ALLAH DAN NABI MUHAMMAD PESURUH ALLAH, hanya mereka yang masuk syurga... dan yg lain tak boleh masuk syurga... mestilah kan? syurga tu Allah yg punya, klu x percaya Allah, ada hati nk masuk syurga??!!

tapi, bagi Christians, org Islam akan masuk neraka sbb dont have the right faith... (sorry I cant say who is God in Christianity as i am still confused with the trinity concept)...

now, the reason the TTF was written is to evangelize(convert) muslims... the writter said so himself..
"The purpose of The True Furqan is a tool of evangelism, because so far we have not found a breakthrough way to reach the Muslim world for Christ," Al-Mahdy said. "We have tried medicine, schools, books, movies and many other methods."

and the translators just HAVE to use pen names like "al saffee, and al-mahdy".. motif??

so lets see, he is trying to defeat a religion embraced by 1 in every 6 person on earth... his insecurity is understandable... but i dont want to talk about a guy whose father and cousin got killed by the Israelis, I wanna talk about us, MUSLIMS..

tak kesah la org lain nak buat apa pun, kesalahan jgn dicari pada org lain, jgn kata kristian jahat, yahudi jahat, semua jahat. tepuk dada tanya iman.. Hidayah itu milik Allah dan hanya mampu diberi dan dicabut oleh Allah. walau mcm mana pn kita cuba berdakwah, hanya Allah yang pilih hambanya untuk diberi hidayah, if you are one of those lucky people yang bukan sahaja Islam kerana "kebetulan dilahirkan dalam keluarga Islam", tapi juga benar benar yakin akan agama Allah ni, then bersyukurlah...

and sebanyak mana pun para pendakyah mencuba memesongkan akidah, akhirnya keputusan tetap di tangan Allah, mahu membenarkan aqidah hambanya goyah atau tidak...

yang kita boleh buat hanya teruskan usaha mencari ilmu, INCLUDING scientific knowledge... kerana hanya dengan ilmu mampu kita kenali Sang Pencipta di balik setiap kejadian dan penciptaan..

pada para pendakyah, especially those who cant preach with dignity, who resort to cheating, lying and all other dirty techniques to TRY and con muslims from our faith, all i have to say is, you dont have to worry about raging muslims trying to kill you, because whether u like it or not, everybody dies, its just a matter of sooner or latter... and when the time comes, trust me, the face of the angle of death will be the worst thing u have ever seen, and ur grave, will be part of hell, and you WILL see... thats a promise. a promise of my faith.

and yeah, all i have to say is, u MAY try to mirror the Quran in terms of literature, but u will never succeed in achieving it... also the writter says that he read 6 verses of TTF to a muslim who claims to know classical arab, and the man said its from the Quran and al-mahdy said that it is indeed from the TTF... well, why dint he recite it to a muslim scholar who memorises the Quran and truly understands it? that would be a fairer comparison would'nt it?

moral of the story, kalau ilmu x cukup, senang untuk diperdaya... jadi lepas ni setiap kali dpt emel ke apa ke, shout out fb ke ke, friendster ke... check dlu kesahihan mende yg diterima... musuh Islam mmg ramai... dgn kekerasan mereka x mungkin akan menang, so they try something subtle... jadi sila berhati hati ye~~

saya memang seorang yang paling tidak layak untuk berbicara tentang agama Islam yang suci ini... saya hanya lah seorang insan yg lemah, cetek ilmu, dan berlumur dosa... saya x pandai berhujah menggunakan hadith or firman Allah (sbb mmg x hafal pun).. tapi hanya sekadar sedikit pendapat ini yang mampu saya coretkan, maka saya coretkan... maaf atas segala khilaf, tegur kalau ada yang salah, tambah kalau ada yang kurang... sekian...
