Introduction: (Host): We are here with Dr. Labib Mikhail. Dr. Labib is a former professor of homiletics from the Faith Mission Bible College in Cairo, Egypt. He is a television speaker, journalist, and has authored more than 60 books. For 42 years, Dr. Labib was the editor of the Good News Magazine, and has pastored the Evangelical Bible Church in Fairfax, Virginia. His knowledge in the area of Christianity and Islam is very profound. He has debated Dr. Ahmed Badawi, a high ranked and well known figure in Canada, and many others on this subject. Welcome.Dr. Labib, often times we hear Christian ministers and leaders saying there are three monotheistic, divine religions in the world: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam….

Q1. Host: In light of the Bible, is Islam a divine religion? (2:35)

Answer
References
Dr. Labib: Well, according to the Bible, Islam is not a divine religion. And the reason I say that is because the God of the Bible is not the Allah of Islam. Secondly, the Quran contradicts in very plain words the commandments and the words of the Bible. Finally, Mohammed doesn't have the qualifications of a true prophet. The Bible is very clear in the book of Hebrews Chapter 1. "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son," if God has sent His son to speak to humanity, it's not reasonable, that He would send a slave after Jesus to be the "last prophet." If we go to the Bible and we want to apply Christianity and Islam, we can say emphatically that Islam is not a divine religion.

The Bible: Hebrews Chapter 1:1-4

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
