Ara­bic Bible ​“Cal­lig­ra­phy”: Expres­sion of Art or Evi­dence for Deception ?

The Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ar­ies are well-known for their decep­tion in order to spread their so-called ​“God-giv­en” pur­pose to spread the Gospel to the world. This approach is not alien to the mis­sion­ary agen­da, for it is found­ed upon the very words of Paul, who laid down decep­tion as the mis­sion­ary approach :

Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to every­one, to win as many as pos­si­ble. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not hav­ing the law I became like one not hav­ing the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not hav­ing the law.1 Corinthi­ans 9 : 19 – 21

It is with this ​“mis­sion” in mind that they have start­ed to infil­trate coun­tries where the major­i­ty of Mus­lims do not habit­u­al­ly read or speak Ara­bic. The mis­sion­ar­ies have begun sell­ing images which mir­rors the cal­lig­ra­phy often found in Qur’an­ic vers­es, but instead of the usu­al Qur’an­ic vers­es, they cite vers­es from the Ara­bic Bible instead. This tru­ly dis­plays the decep­tion of the mis­sion­ar­ies in order to dupe gullible Mus­lims to their cause.

“Cal­li­graph­ic” Look-Alike With Qur’an­ic Calligraphy

We repro­duce below two exam­ples of such images which deploys cal­lig­ra­phy for the Ara­bic Bible. Please espe­cial­ly note the cal­lig­ra­phy used in the fol­low­ing images.

Image 1 :

Below is a cita­tion from the Ara­bic Bible verse of Matthew 5 : 44 – 45.

The trans­la­tion of this verse is :

But I say to you, Love your ene­my and pray for your per­se­cu­tors, so that you may be sons of your heav­en­ly Father[.]Matthew 5 : 44 – 45

Image 2 :

Below is anoth­er cita­tion from the Ara­bic Bible verse of Matthew 11 : 28 – 30.

The trans­la­tion of this verse is :

Come to me all you who labour and are heav­i­ly bur­dened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am gen­tle and hum­ble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls ; for my yoke is easy and my bur­den is the light.Matthew 11 : 28 – 30

Con­clu­sion

It is clear that the mis­sion­ar­ies are sell­ing these kind of images for the sole pur­pose of dup­ing Mus­lims from non-Ara­bic speak­ing back­ground. These Bib­li­cal images have also clear­ly been pur­pose­ly por­trayed with the style of cal­lig­ra­phy to mir­ror that of the usu­al Qur’an­ic cal­lig­ra­phy famil­iar to these Mus­lims who will hence find it dif­fi­cult to dis­tin­guish the two. For those who object in say­ing that cal­lig­ra­phy is not exclu­sive­ly an Islam­ic art, per­haps one should won­der whether they will accept it if Mus­lims were to trans­late the Qur’an into Greek, bound them into books which mim­ics the Bible, and start dis­trib­ut­ing copies of it to Chris­t­ian homes !

One only won­ders whether such dubi­ous meth­ods are ​“inspired” from the Holy Spir­it, the third mem­ber of the Trin­i­ty, or from the unholy Dev­il himself !

And only God knows best.
