REPUBLIKA.CO.ID - The discovery of an ancient gospel that predict the coming of the Prophet Muhammad has given rise to controversy, especially related to its similarity to the Koran and the controversy over its authenticity.
According to Al-Arabiya page, although speculation about the alleged ancient book of the Gospel of Barnabas that predicted the coming of Islam, but so far no evidence that confirms the hypothesis.
Although the Gospel of Barnabas "recognize" the coming of Islam and Prophet Muhammad SAW, but skepticism persists due to the contradiction with the Qur'an. "Therefore, most studies of this book says the Gospel of Barnabas only back to 500 years ago. Meanwhile, the Koran has existed since 1400 years ago," writes Al-Arabiya.
A contradiction which is the main reason why the Arab scholars ignore the Arabic translation of the Bible, published 100 years ago. As reviewed in detail by the writers and thinkers of Egypt, Abbas Mahmoud Al-Akkad.
In an analysis that he wrote on October 26, 1959 in Al-Akhbar newspaper, Akkad said the descriptions of hell in the Gospel of Barnabas is based on a relatively new information is not available at the time at which the text should be written. "A number of descriptions that are written in the Gospel it is a quotation of the Europeans from Arab sources," he said.
Akkad adds, Barnabas Gospel story of how Jesus preached about the advent of the Prophet Muhammad to a crowd of thousands of followers unbelievable. Gospel, he said, contains some errors which are so vulgar, good for the Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
For example, connect Akkad, the book says there are nine layers of the heavens and the tenth is a paradise. While in the Koran there are only seven heavens. Also claim the Gospel that says the Virgin Mary did not feel pain when giving birth of Jesus. In fact, Mary is mentioned in the Qur'an suffer pain in childbirth of his son.
According to the Gospel (Barnabas), Jesus told the Jewish priests that he was not the Messiah and the true Messiah is Muhammad. "This means there is a denial of the existence of the Messiah, who was none other than Jesus himself. As such, as if Jesus and Muhammad look like the same person," Akkad said.
The Gospels also contain information that has no historical credibility, such as the three soldiers, each consisting of 200,000 soldiers in Palestine. While the entire Palestinian population of about 2,000 years ago, did not reach 200,000. Tragically, Palestine was occupied by the Romans, and not be allowed to have its own army.
Similarly, continued Akkad, the last sentence of Section 217 which states that Jesus' body weighed about 100 pounds of rock. "This confirms that the Gospels were written recently, due to the use of pound as a unit of weight for the first time carried out by the Ottoman Empire, in an experiment with Italian and Spanish. And the words" pound "has never been known at the time of Jesus.
According to Akkad, one of the most striking facts mentioned in the Gospel of Barnabas contained in Chapter 53, which says that on the last day the moon will turn blood beams. And on the second day, this blood will trickle down to earth like dew. Then on the third day, the stars will be fighting like a soldier of war.
"According to some studies, the Gospel of Barnabas was written during the Middle Ages by a European Jew who is quite familiar with the Koran and the Bible. He then mixed up the facts and opinions from various sources, with no known motive and and tendency," Akkad said.
