Question:
I got this via e-mail, what do you think about it … fact or fiction?
NEWS FROM EGYPT
A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife and then buried her with their infant baby and 8-year old daughter. The girls were buried alive! He then reported to the police that an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later, another family member died. When they went to bury him, they found the 2 little girls under the sand – ALIVE !! The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will be executed. The older girl was asked how she had survived.
“A man wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister,” she said. She was interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by a veiled Muslim woman news anchor. She said on public TV, “This was none other than Jesus, because nobody else does things like this!”
Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the wounds mean He really was crucified, and it’s clear also that He is alive! But, it’s also clear that the child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way these children could have survived without a true miracle. Muslim leaders are going to have a hard time to figure out what to do with this, and the popularity of the Passion movie doesn’t help! With Egypt at the center of the media and education in the Middle East, you can be sure this story will spread. Christ is still turning the world upside down! Please let this story be shared here too. The Lord says, “I will bless the person who puts his trust in me.” (Jeremiah 17:7)
Answer:
This incident is a fake/fiction. It is totally false and has no substance of truth in it.
The Holy Quraan makes it very clear that Jesus was never crucified; the same has been proven from the Bible.
Jesus cannot come to the grave of anyone; he has no control over his movements. Allah is in full control of their actions.
It is not difficult to believe that this was a made up story. There are thousands of incidents where people are being paid to say that they are healed at crusades and churches.
Muslims should look at this as another trick and deception of the Christians who are working very hard in poverty stricken Muslim areas and also in those areas where Muslims are totally ignorant of Islam as well as what is taking place in today’s world.
And Allah knows best.
