SHIA BELIEFS IN THE BIBLE
Thomas
McElwain, from
Ohio, U.S.A.,
had delivered a
series of
lectures in
London covering
topics of Imam
Hussayn (a.s.),
Tragedy of Karbala, the Injeel and the event of Ghadeer. These lectures were published under the title of “Shia Beliefs in the Bible”.
Following are
extracts from
his lectures:
Unity of God:
Psalms 86:10
“for you are
great, and do
wondrous things:
You are God
alone.”
“Jesus agrees
with the Unity
of God and says
in Mark 12:29
‘the first of
all Commandments
is here; O
Israel! The Lord
our God is One
Lord.’”
Justice of
God:
Isaiah 45:21
“and there is no
other God beside
me; a just God,
there is none
beside me.”
Deuteronomy 32:4
“He is the Rock,
his work is
perfect: for all
his ways is
judgment: a God
of truth and
without inquiry,
just and right
is he.”
Prophet Hood:
Amos 3:7 “Surely
the Lord God
will do nothing,
but he will
reveal his
secrets to his
servants the
prophets.
Psalms
106:24“Indeed
they despise the
land of
Muhammad.”
Imamate:
Exodus 8:5(9)
“And Moses said
to Pharaoh
‘Glorify Ali:
when shall I
entreat for you,
and for your
servants, and
for your people,
to destroy the
frogs from you
and your houses,
and they may
remain in the
river only”
The word Ali
in the Bible:
The word Ali has
been used in the
Hebrew
Scriptures 226
times. There are
some striking
parallels
between the
Biblical Eli and
Imam Ali (a.s.)
who had two sons
who became
righteous
leaders.
Such texts as
Number 11:13 and
14:27 could
conceivably
translated Ali
as well as a
form of
interjection
something on the
order of “Ya
Ali”
Day of
Resurrection:
Revelation
14:6-7 “Fear God
and give glory
to him, for the
hour of his
judgment is
come.”
Amre Bil
Maroof and Nahi
anil Munkar:
Psalms 45:7
“Thou lovest
righteousness
and hates
wickedness.”
Hussayn
(a.s.) in Bible:
The word Hoosen
is found in
Exodus 25:7,
28:4, 15, 22,
23, 24, 26, 28,
29, 30; 29:5,
35:9, 27
