How do we know that a book claimed to be from God is really the Book of God? One of the tests, out of many such tests, is — that a Message emanating from an Omniscient Being MUST be consistent with itself. It ought to be free from all discrepancies and contradictions. This is exactly what the LAST TESTAMENT, the Book of God says:

Idan Allah Madaukakin Sarki yana son mu tabbatar da sahihancin Littafinsa (Alkur'ani Mai Girma) ta wannan gwaji mai tsanani, to me ya sa ba za mu yi amfani da wannan gwaji iri ɗaya ga duk wani littafi da ke da'awar cewa daga gare Shi yake ba?

Za a amince da hakan cikin sauƙi daga nassoshin da na kawo daga malaman Kirista, waɗanda suka nuna mana cewa Baibul BA Maganar Allah ba ne, amma suna sa mu yi imani cewa sun shawo kanmu akasin haka.

If God Almighty wants us to verify the authenticity of His Book (The Holy Qur’ân) with this acid test, why should we not apply the very same test to any other Book claiming to be from Him? We do not want to bamboozle anybody with words as the Christians have been doing. It would be readily agreed from the references, I have given from Christian scholars, that they have been proving to us that the Bible is NOT the Word of God, yet making us believe that they have actually convinced us to the contrary.

Wani misali mai tsanani na wannan cuta ya bayyana kuma jiya kawai. Majalisar Anglican tana zaman taro a Grahamstown. Babban Bishop, Most Rev. Bill Burnett, Archbishop, yana wa garkensa wa'azi. Ya haifar da rudani a cikin al'ummarsa ta Anglican. Wani malami mai ilimi dan Ingila, yana magana da wata kungiya ta malaman addini da bishops na Ingila masu ilimi, a cikin harshensu na uwa — Turanci, wanda abokan aikinsu masu ilimi suka fahimta ba daidai ba sosai: har ya kai ga cewa Mr. McMillan, wanda watakila shi ma Anglican ne, Editan jaridar Turanci ta yau da kullum — "The Natal Mercury" mai kwanan wata 11 ga Disamba, 1979, ya fadi abin da ya fadi game da rudanin da Archbishop ya haifar a tsakanin malaman addininsa masu ilimi.

A classic example of this sickness was in evidence again only "yesterday" The Anglican synod was in session in Grahamstown. The Most. Rev. Bill Burnett, the Archbishop was preaching to his flock. He created a confusion in his Anglican community. An erudite Englishman, addressing a group of learned English priests and bishops, in their own mother-tongue — English, which his learned colleagues drastically misunderstood: to such an extent that Mr. McMillan, perhaps also an Anglican, the Editor of an English daily — "The Natal Mercury" dated December 11, 1979, had this to say about the confusion the Archbishop had created among his own learned clergy:

ARCHBISHOP BURNETT'S REMARKS AT THE SYNOD WERE HARDLY A MODEL OF CLARITY AND WERE WIDELY AND DRAMATICALLY MISINTERPRETED BY MANY OF THOSE PRESENT. Babu matsala da Turanci a matsayin harshe, amma shin ba ka ganin cewa Kirista an koya masa ruɗaɗɗen tunani a dukan al'amuran addini?

Zai iya sayar da kai ba tare da ka sani ba.

"ARCHBISHOP BURNETTS REMARKS AT THE SYNOD WERE HARDLY A MODEL OF CLARITY AND WERE WIDELY AND DRAMATICALLY MISINTERPRETED BY MANY OF THOSE PRESENT." There is nothing wrong with English as a language, but can't you see that the Christian is trained in muddled thinking in all matters religious. The "bread" in his Holy Communion is not "bread" but "flesh?" The "wine" is "blood?" "Three is one?" and "Human is Divine?" But don't make a mistake, he is not that simple when dealing with the earthly kingdom, he is then most precise. You will have to be doubly careful when entering into a contract with him! He can have you sold out, without you realising it.

Misalai da zan kawo wajen tabbatar da abubuwan da na gabatar game da sabanin da ke cikin abin da ake kira Littafin Allah, za a same su masu sauƙi har ma yaro zai iya bi ya fahimta. Duba ƙasa.

The examples that I shall furnish in substantiating the points I have raised about the contradictions in the so-called Book of God, would be found so easy even for a child to follow and understand. See below.

Baya ga biyayyar da ake nunawa Allah kamar yadda aka bayyana a wasu wurare, ana kuma ba Shaidan (Iblis) nasa rabon. Wannan rarrabuwar kai daga marubucin Littafin Tarihi ta tuna da labarin tsohuwar matan da ta kunna kyandir guda ga Saint Michael da wani kuma ga shaidan. Saint Michael yana tattake shaidan a karkashin kafarsa, don haka ko ta je Aljanna ko Jahannama, zata sami aboki. Wannan mutumin na Littafin Tarihi ya tabbatar da cewa yana da aboki a fadar Sama, da kuma aboki a fadar Kasa. Yana so ya samu duka biyun, ko kuma yana so ya ci abinci ya kuma adana shi.

Apart from showing allegiance to God as is noted elsewhere, the Devil (Satan) is also given his due. This dichotomy on the part of the author of Chronicles reminds one of the story of the old woman who lit one candle to St. Michael and another to the devil. St. Michael was trampling underfoot, so that whether she went to Heaven or Hell, she would have a friend. This Chronicles fellow, made sure that he had a friend at court Above, as well as a friend at court Below. He wanted to have it both ways, or wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

Za ku lura cewa marubutan littafan "Tarihi" da na "Sama'ila" suna ba da labari iri ɗaya game da Dawud da ya yi ƙidayar Yahudawa. Daga ina Dawud ya samu "wahayin" wannan aiki na ban mamaki? Marubucin 2 Samuila 24:1 ya ce Ubangiji ne Allah ya ZUGA (RSV: "ya tsokane") Dawud, amma marubucin 1 Tarihi 21:1 ya ce SHAİTAN ne ya TSOKANI (RSV: "ya tsokane") Dawud ya aikata irin wannan mummunan aiki! Ta yaya Allah Maɗaukaki zai zama tushen waɗannan "wahayin" masu karo da juna? Shin Allah ne ko Shaiɗan? A cikin wane addini ne Iblis yake daidai da Allah? Ba magana nake yi game da "Shaiɗanci" ba, wani sabon tsiro na Kiristanci, wanda tsoffin Kiristoci ke bautawa Iblis. Kiristanci shi ne ya fi haifar da "isms" da yawa. Ƙafirci, Kwaminisanci, Fasikanci, Mulkin kama-karya, Nazi-ci, Mormoniyanci, Moon-ci, Kimiyyar Kiristoci da yanzu Shaiɗanci. Me kuma Kiristanci zai haifa?

You will observe that the authors of the books of "Chronicles" and of "Samuel" are telling us the same story about David taking a census of the Jews. Where did David get his "inspiration" to do this novel deed? The author of 2 Samuel 24:1 says that it was the "LORD" God who MOVED (RSV: "incited") David, but the author of 1 Chronicles 21:1 says that it was "SATAN" who PROVOKED (RSV: "incited") David to do such a dastardly thing! How could the Almighty God have been the source of these contradictory "INSPIRATIONS?" Is it God or is it Satan! In which religion is the DEVIL synonymous with GOD? I am not talking about "Satanism" a recent fungus growth of Christianity, in which ex-Christians worship the Devil. Christianity has been most prolific of spawning isms. Atheism, Communism, Fascism, Totalitarianism, Nazism, Mormonism, Moonism, Christian Scientism and now Satanism. What else will Christianity give birth to?

Kamar yadda za a kawo ƙarin shaida daga "Samuel" da "Chronicles", na ga ya dace da farko a tantance marubutan su, maimakon zargin Allah da rashin daidaituwar waɗannan littattafai. Masu gyara na RSV sun ce:

As further evidence will be adduced from "Samuel" and "Chronicles" I deem it advisable first to determine their authors instead of suspecting God of those books' incongruities. The Revisers of the RSV say:

(a) SAMUEL: Marubuci "Ba a sani ba" (Kalma guda kawai)

(a) SAMUEL: Author "Unknown" (Just one word)

(b) CHRONICLES: Marubucin "Ba a sani ba, wataƙila an tattara kuma aka gyara shi ta hannun Ezra." Dole ne mu yaba da tawali'un waɗannan malaman Littafi Mai Tsarki, amma "wataƙila" da "mai yiwuwa" da "da yiwuwar" da suke amfani da su koyaushe ana fassara su da "tabbas" ta hannun tumakinsu da ake yi wa sata. Me ya sa za a mayar da talaka Ezra ko Ishaya masu ɗaukar laifi saboda waɗannan marubuta marasa suna?

(b) CHRONICLES: Author "Unknown, probably collected and edited by Ezra." We must admire the humility of these Bible scholars, but their "possiblys" "probablys" and "likelys" are always construed as ACTUALLY'S by their fleeced sheep. Why make poor Ezra or Isaiah the scapegoats for these anonymous writers?

Idan Allah ne Marubucin kowace kalma, waƙafi da cikakken tsayawa a cikin Littafi Mai Tsarki, kamar yadda Kiristoci suke da'awa, to shin Shi ma ne Marubucin wannan saɓanin lissafin da aka ambata a sama?

If God is the Author of every single word, comma and full-stop in the Bible, as the Christians claim, then is He the Author of the above arithmetical discrepancy as well?

Lura da maganganun da aka kwafa a sama. Kwatanta ayoyin biyu. 2 Samuel 24:13 ya gaya mana: "Sai Gad ya zo wurin Dawud, YA KUMA FAƊA MASA, ya ce masa . . ." Waɗannan kalmomi an maimaita su kalma da kalma a 1 Labarbaru 21:11, sai dai an cire kalmar "YA KUMA FAƊA MASA" wadda ba ta da amfani! Amma yayin da yake cire jumlar da ba ta da amfani, marubucin ya kuma rage lokacin daga shekara "BAKWAI" zuwa shekara "UKU". Me Allah ya ce wa Gad: shekara uku ko bakwai na annoba, "a kan ku biyun"?

Note the reproduction of above. Compare both the quotations. 2 Samuel 24:13 tells us — "So Gad came to David, AND TOLD HIM, and said unto him . . ." These words are repeated word for word in 1 Chronicles 21:11, except the redundant "AND TOLD HIM" is removed! But while trimming the useless phrase, the author also pruned the time factor from "SEVEN" years to "THREE" years. What did God say to Gad — Three or Seven years plague — "on both your houses?"

Compare the two quotations. 2 Chronicles 36:9 tells us that JEHOIACHIN was "eight" years old when he began to reign, while 2 Kings 24:8 says that he was "eighteen" when he began to reign. The "unknown" author of KINGS must have reasoned that what possible "evil" could a child of eight do to deserve his abdication, so he generously added ten years to make JEHOIACHIN mature enough to become liable to God's wrath. However, he had to balance his tampering, so he cut short his reign by 10 days! Add TEN years to age and deduct TEN days from rule? Could God Almighty say two widely differing things on the same subject?

In har za mu yarda da Littafi Mai Tsarki a matsayin Maganar Allah, to darajar da matsayin Ubangiji Madaukaki za su fado ƙasa warwas!

Between Eight and Eighteen years, there is a gap or difference at a full 10 years. Can we say (God forbid!) that the all-knowing Almighty could not count, and thus did not know the difference between 8 and 18? If we are to believe in the Bible as the Word of God, then the Dignity and Status of the Lord Almighty will hit an all-time low!

Ina gwada kwatanta nassoshi biyu da ke shafi shafi na 40. Yawan mahaya karusa da Dawud ya kashe ne, dari bakwai ko dubu bakwai?

A bayyane yake cewa zagi yana ɓoye kansa a cikin ƙamus na Kiristanci a matsayin "wahayi!" Ɗari bakwai ko dubu bakwai?

Compare the two quotations on page 40. How many chariot riders did David slay? Seven hundred or seven thousand? And further, did he slay 40000 "HORSEMEN" or 40000 "FOOTMEN?" The implication in the conflicting records between 2 Samuel 10:18 and 1 Chronicles 19:18 is not only that God could not discern the difference between hundreds and thousands, but that He could not even distinguish "CAVALRY" from "INFANTRY!" It is obvious that blasphemy masquerades in the Christian dictionary as "inspiration!" 700 or 7 000?

Tabbas babu abin ta'aziyya ga masoyan Littafi Mai Tsarki cewa an ƙara sifiri guda (0) a kan 700, ko kuma an cire shi daga 7,000, wanda hakan ya sa Lissafin Littafi Mai Tsarki da ya riga ya rikice ya ƙara rikicewa!*

It is certainly naught for Bible-lovers' comfort that a whole nought (0) was either added to 700, or subtracted from 7 000, thus making the confused Biblical Mathematics even more confounded!*

Za a tattauna maganganun da aka yi game da Zero nan ba da jimawa ba.

* The remarks on the Zero will be discussed soon.

Game-wise, the same rules apply: translate faithfully into Hausa, with "God" rendered as the Hausa word for God, not "Allah," and no added commentary. Here is the translation: Game dai, ga "marubutan da aka yi wa wahayi" na Littafi Mai Tsarki, waɗanda ba su san bambanci tsakanin "sojojin ƙasa" da "mahaya dawakai" ba, lamarin ya fi zama mai tsanani, domin Allah da kansa ana zarginsa a nan a matsayin tushen wannan "wahayin", saboda bai san bambanci tsakanin sojojin doki da sojojin ƙasa ba.

As for the "inspired writers" of the Bible not knowing the difference between "footmen" and "horsemen," is all the more serious because God himself here stands accused, as a source of that "inspiration" for not knowing the difference between cavalry and infantry. Or is it possible that the Syrians who fled before Israel were centaurs (i.e. a race of creatures with the body and legs of a horse and the torso, head and arms of a man), is it possible that these "creatures" had suddenly stepped out of Classical Mythology to bemuse the all too gullible authors.

Sulaiman (ﷺ)... no: the rules say Solomon keeps his usual Hausa form, and honorifics written in words stay words. The original says "Solomon is his glory" (a Bible-style phrase for the king's name, and the original's own honorific wording), so I translate it as written. Sulaiman, abin girmansa, ya fara gina wani fada mai daraja domin kansa, wanda ya ɗauke masa shekara goma sha uku. Muna samun wannan daga Littafin Sarakuna na Farko, babi na 7.

Solomon is his glory began building a royal palace for himself which took him thirteen years. We learn this from the 1st Book of Kings, chapter 7. You remember Dr. Parker's boast (earlier on) about "whole pages being taken up by obscure names?" Well, for sheer puerility you cannot beat this chapter 7 and Ezekiel chapter 45. You owe it to yourself to read it just once in your lifetime. After that, you will really appreciate the Holy Qur’ân! Reproduced below, you will read the passages for your boring pleasure. Obtain your own Bible and colour code it for easy reference. You may colour the various references from this booklet in your Bible: "Yellow" for all contradictions; use "Red" for pornographic passages; and "Green" for sensible, acceptable quotations as the ones I have mentioned at the beginning of this essay — that is words that you can effortlessly recognize as being those of God and His Holy Messengers. With just this preparation, you will be ready to confute and confuse any missionary or Bible scholar that comes your way! "IF WE PERSPIRE MORE IN TIMES OF PEACE, WE WILL BLEED LESS IN TIMES OF WAR." (Chiang Kai-Shek)

Now, look below and note that the author of 1 Kings 7:26 has counted 2 000 baths in Solomon's palace, but the author of 2 Chronicles 4:5 increases the kingly count by 50% to 3 000! What extravagance and error in the "Book of God?" Even if God Almighty had nothing else to do, would He occupy Himself "inspiring" such trivial contradictory nonsense to the Jews? Is the Bible God's Book? Is it the Word of God?

"KUMA BABU WANI MU'JIZA DA ZAI TABBATAR DA CEWA BIYU DA BIYU SUNA YIN HUDU, KO CEWA DA'IRA TANA DA MALA'IKU HUDU; KUMA BABU MU'JIZOJI, KO DA SUN YI YAWA, DA ZAI IYA KAWAR DA SABANI WANDA YAKE A FILI A KAN KOYARWAR KIRISTANCI DA TARIHINSA." — (Albert Schweitzer), daga littafinsa: "In Search of the Historical Jesus." Shafi na 22.

Whether it is witting or unwitting, the "inspired" writer's singular inability to grasp the difference between 2 000 and 3 000 is unforgivable. It is an obvious contradiction. "AND NO MIRACLE WOULD PROVE THAT TWO AND TWO MAKES FIVE, OR THAT A CIRCLE HAS FOUR ANGELS; AND NO MIRACLES, HOWEVER NUMEROUS COULD REMOVE A CONTRADICTION WHICH LIES ON THE SURFACE OF THE TEACHINGS AND RECORDS OF CHRISTIANITY." — (Albert Schweizer), from his book: "In Search of the Historical Jesus." Page 22.

Before I conclude this series of contradictions, let me give you just one more example. There are hundreds of others in the Bible. See below. It is Solomon again. He really does things in a big way. The ex-Shah of Iran was a nursery kid by comparison! The author of 2 Chronicles 9:25 gives Solomon one thousand more stalls of horses than the number of baths he had given him. "And Solomon had FOUR thousand stalls for horses ..." But the author of 1 Kings 4:26 had real kingly thoughts about his royal patron. He multiplied Solomon's stalls by 1 000% — from 4 000 to 40000 stalls of horses! Before some glib evangelist draws the wool over your eyes that the difference is only a nought, a zero — "0"; that some scribe or copyist had inadvertently added a zero to 4 000 to make it 40 000, let me tell you that the Jews in the time of Solomon knew nothing about the zero — "O"! It was the Arabs who introduced the zero to the Middle East and to Europe centuries later. The Jews spelt out their figures in words in their literary works and did not write them in numerals. Our Question is — Who was the real author of this staggering discrepency of 36000? Was it God or man? You will find these references and many more allied facts in a very comprehensive book — "THE BIBLE — Word of God or Word of Man?" by A. S. K. Joommal.
