LA Ilaha Illallahu Muhammadur Rasoolullah
The People of the Book ask you to bring down for them a book from Heaven. From Musa they demanded an even harder miracle than that. They asked him: "Make us see Allah with our own eyes." As a result of their wickedness, the thunderbolt overtook them. Then they took the calf for worship after receiving clear revelations. After all that, We still pardoned them and gave Musa clear authority. We lifted the mount of Toor over them and took the covenant from them that they will obey Our commandments. On another occasion, We commanded them to enter the gates prostrating in humility. Yet, on another occasion, We commanded them not to transgress in the matter of the Sabbath and took a solemn commitment from them. After all this, they still broke their covenant, rejected the Revelation of Allah, killed the Prophet unjustly. Yet, they say: "Our hearts are in secure wrappings which have preserved Allah's word; we need no more" Nay! Allah has selaed their hearts on accoun of heir disbelief. They have no faith except a little. They went in their unbelief to such an extent that they uttered terrible slander against Maryam. They say: "We have killed the Messiah, Isa, son of Maryam, the Rasool of Allah." Whereas in fact, neither did they kill him nor did they crucify him but they thought they did because the matter was made dubious for them. Those who differ therein are in doubt. They have nor real knowledge, they follow nothing but merely a conjecture, certainly, they did not kill him(Yesus Christ). Nay! The fact is that Allah took him up to Himself. Allah is mighty, Wise. There is none of the People of the Book but will believe in this fact before his death; and on the Day of Resurrection Isa will bear witness against them.
This is an interesting surah. According to this surah, Yesus was never crucified. Haile Selassie I was defender of the Ethiopian Orthodox church and the Head of the Church. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church is founded on the belief that Yesus was crucified for mankind's sins. Does this Surah not imply that Haile Selassie I was the Defender of a faith that is misguided? And that Rastafari himself was misguided? I don't mean to hate on any Muslims because I and I once considered becoming a Muslim myself. But I and I believe in JAH Rastafari to be the truth. I don't know. Maybe Islam is the truth and the Christians have it wrong.
JAH RASTAFARI LORD OF LORDS AND SAVIOR
