O Christ-worshipers! A Poem قصيدة ابن القيم في ضلال النصرانية

Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyya (1292-1350CE / 691 AH- 751 AH) was a prominent Muslim jurist during Islam's Golden Age (Islamic Renaissance).

Apart from his jurisdistic prowess, he was also competent in composing qasidah (Arabic poetry).

Among his more famous works was a poem entitled A'obbad al-Maseeh Fi Naqd al-Nasraniyyah (O Christ-Worshipers! In Answering Christianity).

This Poem is well-known in the Muslim world and has even been turned into a song.

The following is the English translation of the poetry from the Arabic original:

" O Christ-worshippers! We want an answer to our question [from your wise ones],

If the Lord was murdered by some people's act, what kind of god is this?

We wonder! Was He pleased by what they did to Him?




If yes, blessed be they, they achieved His pleasure,

But if He was discontented, this means their power had subjugated Him!

Was the whole entity left without a Sustainer, so who answered the prayers?




Were the heavens vacated, when He laid under the ground somewhere?

Were all the worlds left without a God, to manage while His hands were nailed?

Why did not the angels help Him, when they heard him while he wailed?

How could the rods stand to bear the True Lord when He was fastened,

How could the irons reached Him and [had] His body pinned?

How could His enemies' hands reach Him and slap His rear,




And was Christ revived by himself, or was the Reviver another god?

What a sight it was, a grave that enclosed a god,

Stranger still is the belly that confined Him!




He stayed there for nine months in utter darkness, fed by blood!




Then he got out of the womb as a small baby,




Weak and gasping to be breast-fed!




He ate and drank, and did what that naturally resulted,

Is this [what you call] a god?

High Exalted be Allah above the lies of Christians,




All of them will be held accountable for their libels!

O Cross-worshippers! For what reason is this exalted and blame [is cast upon those] who reject it?

Is it not logical to break and burn it, along with the one who innovated it?

Since the Lord was crucified on it, and his hands were fastened to it?

That is really a cursed cross to carry,
So discard it, do not kiss it!

The Lord was abused on it, and you adore it?




So [it is clear that] you are one of His enemies!

If you extol it because it carried the Lord of the Worlds,




Why don't you prostrate yourself and worship graves, Since the grave contained your god in it?

So Christ-worshipper, open your eyes,
This is what the matter is all about. "

@amak2008123 Jesus, alayhi salam, is the Messiah you have misunderstood or then I've misunderstood the things which you've said. As Jesus, alayhi salam, is the Messiah whereas Muhammad salla Allahu alayhi wa salam, is God's beloved. The last of all messengers which were sent down to humanity, inshAllah we would be just as he was. Aamen.

Then the crowd lifted up their voices, saying: "O God, send us thy messenger: O Admirable One, come quickly for the salvation of the world!"

—Barnabas 97:9-10

[amak2008123]

God said: 'Wait Mohammed; for thy sake I will to create paradise, the world, and a great multitude of creatures, whereof I make thee a present, insomuch that whoso bless thee shall be blessed, and whoso shall curse thee shall be accursed. When I shall send thee into the world I shall send thee as my messenger of salvation, and thy word shall be true, insomuch that heaven and earth shall fail, but thy faith shall never fail.' Mohammed is his blessed name." Then the crowd lifted up their voices,
