(wanda kuma shi ne take na littafinsa), a ƙarƙashin taken: MUTUM NE, AMMA KUMA ALLAH NE. Ya ce a shafi na 17:

Dr. W. Graham Scroggie of the MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE, Chicago, one of the most prestigious Christian Evangelical Mission in the world, answering the question — "Is the Bible the Word of God?" (also the title of his book), under the heading: IT IS HUMAN, YET DIVINE. He says on page 17:

"Eh, Baibul mutum ne, ko da yake wasu, saboda kishin addini wanda ba bisa ilimi ba, sun musanta haka. Waɗannan littattafai sun wuce ta cikin tunanin mutane, an rubuta su da harshen mutane, hannayen mutane ne suka rubuta su, kuma a salon rubutunsu suna ɗauke da halayen mutane." (An ƙara jaddawa).

"Yes, the Bible is human, though some, out of zeal which is not according to knowledge, 1 1 have denied this. Those books2 have passed through the minds of men, are written in the language of men, were penned by the hands of men, and bear in their style the characteristics of men." (Emphasis added).

Wani malamin Kirista mai ilimi, Kenneth Cragg, Bishop na Ingila (Anglican) na Urushalima, ya ce a shafi na 277 na littafinsa, "The Call of the Minaret":

Another erudite Christian scholar, Kenneth Cragg, the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, says on page 277 of his book, "The Call of the Minaret":

Ba haka ba ne game da Sabon Alkawari³ . . . Akwai taƙaitawa da gyarawa;⁴ akwai zaɓi, sake rubutawa da shaida. Bisharu sun wuce ta cikin tunanin Ikilisiya a bayan marubutan. Suna wakiltar ƙwarewa da tarihi.⁵

"Not so the New Testament3 . . . There is condensation and editing; 4 4 there is choice, reproduction and witness. The Gospels have come through the mind of the Church behind the authors. They represent experience and history." 5 5

Idan kalmomi suna da ma'ana, shin muna buƙatar ƙara wata kalma ta sharhi don mu tabbatar da hujjarmu? A'a! Amma masu yada farfaganda na ƙwararru, bayan sun bayyana gaskiya, har yanzu suna da fuskar ƙoƙarin sa masu karatunsu su yi imani cewa sun tabbatar fili ba tare da wani shakka ba cewa Littafi Mai Tsarki shi ne "Maganar Allah" wacce ba za a iya ƙaryata ba. Dabarun karkatar da ma'ana — yin wasa da kalmomi, da sauya ma'anarsu — abin mamaki ne! 1. Daga jahilci.

If words have any meaning, do we need to add another word of comment to prove our case? No! But the professional propagandists, after letting the cat out of the bag, still have the face to try to make their readers believe that they have proved beyond the shadow of any doubt that the Bible is the "irrefragable 6 Word of God." Their semantic gymnastics — equivocating, and playing with words — is amazing! 1. Out of ignorance.

2. Littafi Mai Tsarki ba littafi ɗaya kaɗai ba ne. Zaɓi ne kuma tarin littattafai da dama da aka haɗa waje ɗaya.

2. The Bible is not Just a Book. It is a selection and compilation of many books.

3. Sabanin Alqur'ani.

3. As opposed to the Qur’ân.

4. Wata kalma ma'ana iri ɗaya da Interpolating.

4. Another word for Interpolating.

5. Mai jaddada su ne nake.

5. Emphasis are mine.

6. Wanda ba shi da kokwanto a kansa.

6. Indisputable.

Both these Doctors of Religion are telling us in the clearest language humanly possible that the Bible is the handiwork of man, all the while pretending that they are proving to the contrary. An old Arab saying goes: "IF SUCH ARE THE PRIESTS, GOD BLESS THE CONGREGATION." With this sort of drivel, the hot-gospeller and the Bible-thumper is "inspired" to harry the "heathen." 1 1 A theological student — a not-yet-qualified young evangelist — from the University of Witwatersrand, became a frequent visitor to the Newtown Mosque in Johannesburg, with the "noble" thought of "witnessing"2 to the members of its congregation. When I was introduced to him, (and having learnt his purpose), I invited him to lunch at my brother's residence — a stone's-throw from the Mosque. While discussing the authenticity of the Bible over the dinner table and sensing his stubborn dogmatism, I put out a feeler: "Your Professor Geyser, (The Head of the Department of Theology) does not believe the Bible to be the Word of God." Without the slightest surprise he answered, "I know." Now I personally had no knowledge of the Professor's conviction about the Bible. I had only assumed so from a controversy which raged around him about the "Divinity of Christ." 3 3 He had taken issue with the orthodox believers on this point some years ago. I continued further, saying, "Your lecturer does not believe the Bible as being God's Word." The young evangelist, responded again, "I know" but he continued this time with the words, "but I believe that it is the Word of God!" There is no real remedy for such people. Even Jesus bewailed this sickness:

"... seeing they see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand." (Matthew 13:13)

Al-Qur'an, Littafin Allah Mai Tsarki, shi ma ya yi Allah-wadai da wannan halin taurin kai.

Al-Qur'an, the Holy Book of God, also condemns this mulish mentality:

Waɗannan shafuka yanzu an rubuta su ne ga waɗancan rayukan masu tawali'u na gaskiya, waɗanda suke da sha'awar neman Hasken Allah da kuma son a shiryar da su ta cikinsa. Amma ga wani kuwa, mai cutar zuciya, abubuwan da aka gabatar a nan ba za su ƙara masa ba face ƙarin cutar zuciyarsa.
