 A Critical Evaluation of the Claimed Scientific Miracles of the Quran The Quran, the holy book of Islam, has been touted by many Muslims as a source of scientific miracles and knowledge that was well ahead of its time. However, a critical evaluation of these claims reveals that many of the supposed scientific miracles of the Quran are actually based on erroneous scientific information copied and plagiarized from Greek and other scientists. The idea that the Qur’an contains “scientific miracles” became popular in the late 20th century, especially through Maurice Bucaille’s The Bible, the Qur’an and Science 1976. Critics then responded with texts like the one you posted, arguing the Qur’an just copied Galen, Aristotle, Ptolemy. One of the most commonly cited examples of a scientific miracle in the Quran is the description of the development of the human embryo. In Surah 23:14, the Quran states: "We created man from an extraction of clay, then We placed him as a drop in a place of r...

The Pulpit Cannot Be Silent from Speaking Truth to Power with Prophetic Courage To African Christians and Ministers of the Gospel, the call to preach is also a call to protect. The Old and New Testaments never present the prophet or pastor as a court chaplain whose duty is to comfort power. Rather, Scripture presents him as a watchman on the wall Ezekiel 33:7, one who warns when danger approaches. From Moses confronting Pharaoh, to John the Baptist confronting Herod, the pattern is clear: God raises men who speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Today, the African church stands at the same crossroads. Poverty, insecurity, and bad governance have reduced millions to tears, yet many pulpits have grown strangely silent. The silence is often excused as “ministerial ethics” or “spirituality.” But ethics without empathy is not holiness. It is compromise. The second reality we must face is that silence in the face of evil is never neutral. It always strengthens the oppressor. Whe...

  STOP STRUGGLING IN RELIGION. COME TO JESUS START LIVING. Religion Will Never Reach God  Religion is as old as man. It started in the Garden of Eden the moment man sinned against God and lost His presence. Since that day, religion has been man’s fruitless struggle to search for God.  Do you know that struggle?   Muslim: 5 prayers a day, fasting, pilgrimage to Mecca, trying to keep the 5 pillars, hoping your good deeds outweigh your bad on judgment day. But no one ever knows if it’s enough.   Hindu/Buddhist: Endless cycles of karma, rebirth, rituals, sacrifices, trying to climb a ladder that never ends.   Traditionalist: Offerings, charms, sacrifices to ancestors, living in fear of curses.   Every religion is the same story: man trying to reach up to God by works, labour, and rules. Prophets, messengers, law, angels, judges, kings, queens, patriarchs — God sent them all to call man back. But no prophet, no law, no ritual can erase s...

Exposing Taquiyya: The Lie African Muslims are Fed about Slave Trade in Africa to Make Them Hate Christianity Introduction   African Muslims are told a false story to make them hate Christianity. They are told that Christianity enslaved Africa while Islam brought freedom. That story is a lie (Taquiyya). Taquiyya is a permissible lie Muslims are taught to tell to promote islam. The truth of history and Scripture is clear: there is nothing like Christian slavery, but there is Islamic slavery. The Gospel of Christ is liberating. Jesus did not have slaves. Muslims follow the example of Mohammed who owned slaves, bought slaves, sold slaves, and traded with them. When African Muslims know the facts, they see who actually enslaved their ancestors. 1. There Is No Christian Slavery in the Gospel of Christ   The Gospel of Christ is liberating and contains no command to enslave people. Jesus Christ came to set captives free and proclaimed freedom to those in bondage. Luke 4:18 ...

Jesus Is God: Biblical and Linguistic Evidence for His Divinity Many Muslims are taught: “Jesus never said the exact words ‘I am God, worship me,’ therefore His divinity cannot be proven from the Bible.” This argument was popularized by debaters like Ahmed Deedat and Zakir Naik. But it commits a basic logical error: a person does not need to use a modern formula to claim an identity. A thief does not need to say “I am a thief, arrest me” before his actions prove it.  “God” in both Hebrew Elohim and Greek Theos is not a personal name like “Yahweh” but a title/class for the one who possesses divine nature, authority, and worship. Jesus never claimed to be “God the Father,” but He repeatedly claimed the divine name, divine prerogatives, and received worship — things no prophet claimed. The Bible establishes His divinity not by one slogan, but by His words, works, titles, and resurrection. We will also note where the Qur’an and Hadith indirectly confirm details about Jesus that make Hi...
