And if you say Jesus abolished and invalidated OLD TESTAMENT. Well, you are wrong:

For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:18-19 RSV)

It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." (Luke 16:17 NAB)

Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17 NAB)

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. 3 So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach" Matthew 23:1-2

You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye--even your good eye--causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. Matthew 5:28

If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell. Matthew 5:30

You are nothing but show-offs! The prophet Isaiah was right when he wrote that God had said, All of you praise me with your words, but you never really think about me. It is useless for you to worship me, when you teach rules made up by humans."

Didn't Moses command you to respect your father and mother? Didn't he tell you to put to death all who curse their parents? But you let people get by without helping their parents when they should. You let them say that what they own has been offered to God.You won't let those people help their parents. And you ignore God's commands in order to follow your own teaching. You do a lot of other things just as bad

So, despite the popular belief that Jesus invalidated all the harsh, mind-boggling practice in Old Testament - the truth is Jesus mission was to reaffirm it.

BTW NT also contains verses like these:


Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a SWORD. (Matthew 10:34)

I have come to set fire to the earth, and I only wish it were already burning (Luke 12:49)

Do you think I came to bring PEACE on earth? NO, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. (Luke 12:51)

Now, as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to be their KING, bring them here and KILL them in my presence! (Luke 19:27) (PS: In the parable of Ten Minas : Jesus is the King, and those who should be killed are the Jews)

"So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. (Revelation 2:22-23)

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away an withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. (John 15:5-6)

"That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. (Luke 12:47-48)"

“If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.


In the same way, therefore, every one of you who does not say good-bye to all his possessions cannot be My disciple.

If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell


And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell

For I came to set at variance 'A man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,

He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs."

And he [Jesus] said unto them ... Ye reject the commandment of God ... For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death."

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."

And throw that worthless slave into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men; they must keep quiet.

For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off

The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows

All who are forced to serve as slaves should consider their masters worthy of full respect. Then people will not speak evil things against God’s name and against what we teach.

Some slaves have masters who are believers. They shouldn’t show their masters disrespect just because they are also believers. Instead, they should serve them even better.

Women should learn in silence and all humility. do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men; they must keep quiet

Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.

Still it's not permissible for Muslim for mocking other religion

# Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance. (16:125)

# Virtue and evil are not equal. If you replace evil habits by virtuous ones, you will certainly find that your enemies will become your intimate friends. (41:34)

# And do not insult those they invoke other than Allah , lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge. Thus We have made pleasing to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them about what they used to do.(6:108)


# Do not argue with the people of the scripture (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) except in the nicest possible manner - unless they transgress - and say, "We believe in what was revealed to us and in what was revealed to you, and our god and your god is one and the same; to Him we are submitters." [29:46]

Is Islam an impossible to do religion like Christianity and Judaism?

Dear Christians, please stop saying Jesus is God.

Please don't say Jesus (peace be upon him) is the God of Old Testament who commanded Saul & Samuel to slaughtered women, babies, children of Amalek.

Please don't say Jesus (peace be upon him) is the God of Old Testament who said "And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend."

I mean, do you seriously believe if Jesus were The God in OT, and The God in OT instructed to kill babies, therefore Jesus instructed to kill babies, women, etc?

Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses

"Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels, a land that I will judge! Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you,"

If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted.

Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children.

Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants.

"Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!"

They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him.

How blessed will be the one who repays you With the recompense with which you have repaid us. How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones Against the rock.

They will fall by the sword, Their little ones will be dashed in pieces, And their pregnant women will be ripped open.

"I also will do this unto you... You shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it."

"And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat." --

"And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them."

"And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend."

"Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers."

"I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another."
.
"This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him."

"The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat."

"Who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron."

"Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed. She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

And PS: Jesus himself never said he's God. What Jesus SAID he's a servant. Well that should clarify that Jesus is not the same God in Old Testament who killed babies and women.


# Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. John 13:16

# Who's the greatest, the person who sits at the table or the servant? Isn't it really the person who sits at the table? BUT I'M AMONG YOU AS A SERVANT. Luke 22:27

# Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but HIS WHO SENT ME. John 7:16

# I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will. John 5:30

# Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD Mark 12:29

# Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. John 17:3

# I KNEW THAT YOU ALWAYS HEAR ME I can do nothing on my own John 11:42

# Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. Mark 10:18

# "You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. (John 14:28)

# My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all (John 10:29)

# My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. (John 4:34)

# The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him (John 8:29)

# So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. (John 11:41)

# By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. (John 5:30)

# Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (John 8:29)

After it's clear but they prefer to ignore it anyway

Quran comes as glad tidings for believer

Indeed, this Qur'an guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward. (Quran 17:10)

In easy-to-understand languange

"We have made the Qur'an easy in your language so that they may take heed it."  (Qur'an 44:58)

It's also easy to memorize. Millions people (kids to elderly, arabic/non arabic speaking people) literally remember quran words by words, letter by letter,

And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? 54:17

I don't know if there are other books on planet earth remembered letter by letter by so many people. Anyone knows if there is one person in planet earth remember, say one chapter of the Bible? the original one?

And I don't know how millions people could remember Quran letter by letter - ensuring Quran free from unintended / intended corruption.

Verily, We Ourselves have sent down this Exhortation, and most surely We will be its Guardian, (Al-Hijr, 15:10)

One thing that is certain is, Quran is not like any other book. God tells in Quran:

 And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed (the Quran) to Our worshiper (Muhammad ), then produce a chapter like it, and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides God if you are truthful.  And if you do not do it, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones.  It has been prepared for disbelievers.  And give good news (O Muhammad) to those who believe and do good deeds, that for them are gardens (Paradise) in which rivers flow.... (Quran, 2:23-25)

Yet indeed, after knowing the truth (e.g: the presence of Creator-through His creation, the Oneness of God, the true-easy-to-understand-modest religion i.e Islam)  there will be some people deliberatly reject it. It's so typical of some people, Quran mentions this over and over again


And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the messages of his Lord, then he turns away from them and forgets what his hands have sent before? Surely We have placed veils over their hearts, lest they understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if thou call them to the guidance, they will even then never follow the right course. (Quran 18:57)

Those who reverted after the guidance became clear to them—Satan has enticed them, and has given them latitude (Quran 47:25)

Those who disbelieve, and hinder from the path of God, and oppose the Messenger after guidance has become clear to them—they will not hurt God in the least, but He will nullify their deeds. (Quran 47:32)

Those who violate God's covenant after its confirmation, and sever what God has commanded to be joined, and commit evil on earth. These are the losers (Quran 2:27)

Whoever makes a breach with the Messenger, after the guidance has become clear to him, and follows other than the path of the believers, We will direct him in the direction he has chosen, and commit him to Hell—what a terrible destination! (Quran 4:115)


How will God guide a people who disbelieved after having believed, and had witnessed that the Messenger is true, and the clear proofs had come to them? God does not guide the unjust people (Quran 3:86)

Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allah and cursed by the cursers. (Quran 2:159)

Those who believe, then disbelieve, then believe, then disbelieve, then increase in disbelief, God will not forgive them, nor will He guide them to a way. (Quran 4:137)

# Whoever chooses to follow the right path, follows it but for his own good; and whoever goes astray, goes but astray to his own hurt; and no bearer of burdens shall be made to bear another" burden.

# And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds, Say, "It is only revealed to me that your god is but one God; so will you be Muslims [in submission to Him]?" But if they turn away, then say, "I have announced to [all of] you equally. And I know not whether near or far is that which you are promised

PS: Quran also says

# There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in God hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. (Quran 2:256)

Because The Creator Knows His Creations

Who created the universe? Some says Brahma, Jesus, Zeus, Odin, Atum, you name it. Atheists would say universe created by accidents. Agnostic would say: They don't know.

So who really created the universe? Who belongs the universe and everything in it?

To answer this, suppose you find a wallet, and you don't know the owner. And then, there are many people who claim as the owner. How do you know which one is the TRUE owner? Of course, the one who can describe the wallet.

So who belongs the universe?

Here are samples verses that God through Quran (not Atum, Zeus, Odin, Brahma, Jesus) describing universe, natural phenomena, and many things in it, when humans don't have the instruments to make such observation (yes, Quran described them 1,400 years ago)

Big Bang

Do Not Those Who Disbelieve See That The Heavens And The Earth Were Meshed Together Then We Ripped Them Apart? And Then We Made Of Water Everything Living? Would They Still Not Believe?[Quran 21.30]

Expansion Of The Universe

And It Is We Who Have Built The Universe With [Our Creative] Power And Keep Expanding It. [Quran 51:47]

Athmosphere

We Made The Sky A Protective Ceiling. And Yet They Are Turning Away From Our Signs! [Quran 21:32]

Sun’s & Moon’s Orbit

It Is He Who Created Night And Day, The Sun And The Moon, Each Floating In Its Orbit.”[Quran 21:33]

Elipsoid Earth

He Made The Earth Egg-Shaped [Quran 79:30]

Parité

And Of Everything We Created Pairs, That Possibly You Would Be Mindful.  [Quran 51:49]

Water Barrier

He Is The One Who Has Set Free The Two Kinds Of Water, One Sweet And Palatable, And The Other Salty And Bitter.  And He Has Made Between Them A Barrier And A Forbidding Partition.  [Quran, 25:53]

Embriology

 We Created Man From An Extract Of Clay. Then We Made Him As A Drop In A Place Of Settlement, Firmly Fixed. Then We Made The Drop Into An Alaqah (Leech, Suspended Thing, And Blood Clot), Then We Made The Alaqah Into A Mudghah (Chewed Substance).  [Quran, 23:12-14]

Clouds And The Process Of Rain

Do Not You See That God Drives The Clouds, Then Joins Them Together,  Then Piles Them On Each Other, Then You See The Rain Comes Forth From  Between Them. And He Sends Down Hail From The Sky, Where There Are  Mountains Of It. And Strikes Those With It Whom He Will And Diverts It From  Whomever He Wills. The Vivid Flash Of Its Lightning Nearly Blinds The Sight.  [Quran 24:43]

The End of Universe and The Big Crunch

We created not the heavens and the earth and all between them but for just ends, and for a Term Appointed: But those who reject Faith turn away from that whereof they are warned. (Quran 46: 3)

We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, but for just ends.And the Hour is surely coming (when this will be manifest).So overlook (any human faults) with gracious forgiveness. (Quran 15: 85) 
That Day We will fold up heaven like folding up the pages of a book. As We originated the first creation so We will regenerate it. It is a promise binding on Us. That is what We will do. (Qur'an, 21:104)

So, in Quran (500A.D) there are revelations about bigbang (big Bang theory found in 1920), expansion of the universe (Huble found the theory in 1929), elipsoid earth (John Fillmore Hayford found this in 1910), parite (Paul Dirac win noble in 1933).

The more people observe the universe, the more people will realize that Allah is the creator of the universe. In fact Quran emphasizes the need to study universe and everything in it - so people will realize the existence of The Creator.

Everything in the heavens and everything on the earth and everything in between them and everything under the ground belongs to Him. (Qur'an, 20:6)

So let man observe from what he was created. (Quran)

Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason (2:164)

Verily in the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers. And in your creation, and what He scattered of moving creatures are signs with people of sure faith,” (Quran)

Quran concludes it:

We did not create heaven and earth and everything in between them as a game. (Qur'an, 21:16)

Allah created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): verily in that is a Sign for those who believe. (Quran 29:44)

Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the believers.And in the creation of yourselves and what He disperses of moving creatures are signs for people who are certain [in faith] (Quran 45:3-4)

Anyway Bible / Torah also tries to explain natural phenomena, for example

The stages universe creation

Day 1: Heaven, earth, light, (light as day, darkness as night)
Day 2: Sky
Day 3: Land, Seas, plants bearing seed, trees bearing fruit
Day 4: Sun, Moon, Stars
Day 5: Birds and Swimming creatures
Day 6: Land creatures, humans
Day 7: God rested.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1%3A1%E2%80%932%3A3&version=NRSV

http://www.missiontoamerica.org/genesis/days-of-creation.html



So, if earth, night & day, plants created before sun, moon, and stars then:

# What caused night and day on earth without sun?
# Can Earth rotate in their orbit without sun?
# Can trees grow without sun?
# Is the day in Genesis literally 24 hours or billion years.
# If billion years, can trees grow without sun for billion years?


Bats as Birds

And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, and the vulture, and the kite after his kind; every raven after his kind; and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.


Four legs of locust
All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be detestable to you. There are, however, some winged creatures that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. But all other winged creatures that have four legs you are to detest.
