“A trusted student of a renowned Christian scholar in former Andalusia overhears a discussion about the Paraclete, a prophet to come mentioned in the bible.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/span>
Great numbers of Christians embraced Islam during and soon after the Islamic conquests after the prophets death.\u00a0 They were never compelled, rather it was a recognition of what they were already expecting.\u00a0 Anselm Tormeeda[1]<\/span>, a priest and Christian scholar, was one such person who\u2019s history is worth relating.\u00a0 He wrote a famous book called \u201cThe Gift to the Intelligent for Refuting the Arguments of the Christians<\/span>\u201d[2]<\/span>.\u00a0 In the introduction[3]<\/span> to this work he relates his history:<\/p>\n

\u201cLet it be known to all of you that my origin is from the city of Majorca, which is a great city on the sea between two mountains and divided by a small valley.\u00a0 It is a commercial city, with two wonderful harbors.\u00a0 Big merchant ships come and anchor in the harbor with different goods.\u00a0 The city is on the island which has the same name – Majorca, and most of its land is populated with fig and olive trees.\u00a0 My father was a well respected man in the city.\u00a0 I was his only son.<\/p>\n

When I was six, he sent me to a priest who taught me to read the Gospel and logic, which I finished in six years.\u00a0 After that I left Majorca and traveled to the city of Larda, in the region of Castillion, which was the center of learning for Christians in that region.\u00a0 A thousand to a thousand and a half Christian students gathered there.\u00a0 All were under the administration of the priest who taught them.\u00a0 I studied the Gospel and its language for another four years.\u00a0 After that I left for Bologne in the region of Anbardia.\u00a0 Bologne is a very large city, it being the centre of learning for all the people of that region.\u00a0 Every year, more than two thousand students gather together from different places.\u00a0 They cover themselves with rough cloth which they call the \u201cHue of God.\u201d\u00a0 All of them, whether the son of a workman or the son of a ruler, wear this wrap, in order to make the students distinct from the others.<\/p>\n

Only the priest teaches, controls and directs them.\u00a0 I lived in the church with an aged priest.\u00a0 He was greatly respected by the people because of his knowledge and religiousness and asceticism, which distinguished him from the other Christian priests.\u00a0 Questions and requests for advice came from everywhere, from Kings and rulers, along with presents and gifts.\u00a0 They hoped that he would accept their presents and grant them his blessings.\u00a0 This priest taught me the principles of Christianity and its rulings.\u00a0 I became very close to him by serving and assisting him with his duties until I became one of his most trusted assistants, so that he trusted me with the keys of his domicile in the church and of the food and the drink stores.\u00a0 He kept for himself only the key of a small room were he used to sleep.\u00a0 I think, and God knows best, that he kept his treasure chest in there.\u00a0 I was a student and servant for a period of ten years, then he fell ill and failed to attend the meetings of his fellow priests.<\/p>\n

During his absence, the priests discussed some religious matters, until they came to what was said by the Almighty God through his prophet Jesus in the Gospel: \u201cAfter him will come a Prophet called Paraclete<\/span>.\u201d\u00a0 They argued a great deal about this Prophet and as to who he was among the Prophets.\u00a0 Everyone gave his opinion according to his knowledge and understanding; and they ended without achieving any benefit in that issue.\u00a0 I went to my priest, and as usual he asked about what was discussed in the meeting that day.\u00a0 I mentioned to him the different opinions of priests about the name Paraclete, and how they finished the meeting without clarifying its meaning.\u00a0 He asked me: \u201cWhat was your answer?\u201d\u00a0 I gave my opinion which was taken from interpretation of a well known exegesis.\u00a0 He said that I was nearly correct like some priests, and the other priests were wrong.\u00a0 \u201cBut the truth is different from all of that.\u00a0 This is because the interpretation of that noble name is known only to a small number of well versed scholars.\u00a0 And we posses only a little knowledge.\u201d\u00a0 I fell down and kissed his feet, saying: \u201cSir, you know that I traveled and came to you from a far distant country, I have served you now for more than ten years; and have attained knowledge beyond estimation, so please favor me and tell me the truth about this name.\u201d\u00a0 The priest then wept and said: \u201cMy son, by God, you are very much dear to me for serving me and devoting yourself to my care.\u00a0 Know the truth about this name, and there is a great benefit, but there is also a great danger.\u00a0 And I fear that when you know this truth, and the Christians discover that, you will be killed immediately.\u201d\u00a0 I said: \u201cBy God, by the Gospel and He who was sent with it, I shall never speak any word about what you will tell me, I shall keep it in my heart.\u201d\u00a0 He said: \u201cMy son, when you came here from your country, I asked you if it is near to the Muslims, and whether they made raids against you and if you made raids against them.\u00a0 This was to test your hatred for Islam.\u00a0 Know, my son, that Paraclete is the name of their Prophet Muhammad, to whom was revealed the fourth book as mentioned by Daniel.\u00a0 His way is the clear way which is mentioned in the Gospel.\u201d\u00a0 I said: \u201cThen sir, what do you say about the religion of these Christians?\u201d\u00a0 He said: \u201cMy son, if these Christians remained on the original religion of Jesus, then they would have been on God\u2019s religion, because the religion of Jesus and all the other Prophets is the true religion of God.\u00a0 But they changed it and became unbelievers.\u201d\u00a0 I asked him: \u201cThen, sir, what is the salvation from this?\u201d\u00a0 He said \u201cOh my son, embracing Islam.\u201d\u00a0 I asked him: \u201cWill the one who embraces Islam be saved?\u201d\u00a0 He answered: \u201cYes, in this world and the next.\u201d\u00a0 I said: \u201cThe prudent chooses for himself; if you know, sir the merit of Islam, then what keeps you from it?\u201d\u00a0 He answered: \u201cMy son, the Almighty God did not expose me to the truth of Islam and the Prophet of Islam until after I have become old and my body weakened.\u00a0 Yes, there is no excuse for us in this, on the contrary, the proof of God has been established against us.\u00a0 If God had guided me to this when I was your age, I would have left everything and adopted the religion of truth.\u00a0 Love of this world is the essence of every sin, and look how I am esteemed, glorified and honored by the Christians, and how I am living in affluence and comfort!\u00a0 In my case, if I show a slight inclination towards Islam they would kill me immediately.\u00a0 Suppose that I was saved from them and succeeded in escaping to the Muslims, they would say, do not count your Islam as a favor upon us, rather you have benefited yourself only by entering the religion of truth, the religion that will save you from the punishment of God!\u00a0 So I would live among them as a poor old man of more than ninety years, without knowing their language, and would die among them starving.\u00a0 I am, and all praise is due to God, on the religion of Christ and on that which he came with, and God knows that from me.\u201d\u00a0 So I asked him: \u201cDo you advise me to go to the country of the Muslims and adopt their religion?\u201d\u00a0 He said to me: \u201cIf you are wise and hope to save yourself, then race to that which will achieve this life and the hereafter.\u00a0 But my son, none is present with us concerning this matter; it is between you and me only.\u00a0 Exert yourself and keep it a secret.\u00a0 If it is disclosed and the people know about it they will kill you immediately.\u00a0 I will be of no benefit to you against them.\u00a0 Neither will it be of any use to you if you tell them what you heard from me concerning Islam, or that I encouraged you to be a Muslim, for I shall deny it.\u00a0 They trust my testimony against yours.\u00a0 So do not tell a word, whatever happens.\u201d\u00a0 I promised him not to do so.<\/p>\n

He was satisfied and content with my promise.\u00a0 I began to prepare for my journey and bid him farewell.\u00a0 He prayed for me and gave me fifty golden dinars[4]<\/span>.\u00a0 Then I took a ship to my city Majorca where I stayed with my parents for six months.\u00a0 Then I traveled to Sicily and remained there five months, waiting for a ship bound for the land of the Muslims.\u00a0 Finally a ship arrived bound for Tunis.\u00a0 We departed before sunset and reached the port of Tunis at noon on the second day.\u00a0 When I got off the ship, Christian scholars who heard of my arrival came to greet me and I stayed with them for four months in ease and comfort.\u00a0 After that, I asked them if there was a translator.\u00a0 The Sultan in those days was Abu al-Abbas Ahmed.\u00a0 They said there was a virtuous man, the Sultan\u2019s physician, who was one of his closest advisors.\u00a0 His name was Yusuf al-Tabeeb.\u00a0 I was greatly pleased to here this, and asked where he lived.\u00a0 They took me there to meet him separately.\u00a0 I told him about my story and the reason of my coming there; which was to embrace Islam.\u00a0 He was immensely pleased because this matter would be completed by his help.\u00a0 We rode to the Sultan\u2019s Palace.\u00a0 He met the Sultan and told him about my story and asked his permission for me to meet him.<\/p>\n

The Sultan accepted, and I presented myself before him.\u00a0 The first question the Sultan asked was about my age.\u00a0 I told him that I was thirty-five years old.\u00a0 He then asked about my learning and the sciences which I had studied.\u00a0 After I told him he said.\u00a0 \u201cYour arrival is the arrival of goodness.\u00a0 Be a Muslim with God\u2019s blessings.\u201d\u00a0 I then said to the doctor, \u201cTell the honorable Sultan that it always happens that when anyone changes his religion his people defame him and speak evil of him.\u00a0 So, I wish if he kindly sends to bring the Christian priests and merchants of this city to ask them about me and hear what they have to say.\u00a0 Then by God\u2019s will, I shall accept Islam.\u201d\u00a0 He said to me through the translator, \u201cYou have asked what Abdullah bin Salaam asked from the Prophet when he \u2013 Abdullah came to announce his Islam.\u201d\u00a0 He then sent for the priests and some Christian merchants and let me sit in an adjoining room unseen by them.\u00a0 \u201cWhat do you say about this new priest who arrived by ship?\u201d he asked.\u00a0 They said: \u201cHe is a great scholar in our religion.\u00a0 Our bishops say he is the most learned and no one is superior to him in our religious knowledge.\u201d\u00a0 After hearing what the Christian said, the Sultan sent for me, and I presented myself before them.\u00a0 I declared the two testimonies that there is no one worthy of worship except God and that Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, is His Messenger, and when the Christians heard this they crossed themselves and said: \u201cNothing incited him to do that except his desire to marry, as priests in our religion can not marry.\u201d\u00a0 Then they left in distress and grief.<\/p>\n

The Sultan appointed for me a quarter of a dinar every day from the treasury and let me marry the daughter of Al-Hajj Muhammed al-Saffar.\u00a0 When I decided to consummate the marriage, he gave me a hundred golden dinars and an excellent suit of clothes.\u00a0 I then consummated the marriage and God blessed me with a child to whom I gave the name Muhammed as a blessing from the name of the Prophet.\u201d[5]<\/span>

Footnotes:<\/span><\/p>\n[1] After embracing Islam, he was known as Abu Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Tarjuman.\u00a0 He was called Al-Tarjuman (The Translator), because in less than five months after his conversion, the Sultan appointed him general of the Marine Administration where he learned the Arabic language and became a skillful translator in discussions between Muslims and Christians.\u00a0 After only one year, he excelled in the Arabic language and was appointed as the head of Translation Affairs.\u00a0 He was well known among the common people, who gave him some pleasant nicknames; the most popular was Sidi Tohfah, which means \u201cMy Master Gift\u201d, referring to his famous book.
qur
[2] Tuhfat al-arib fi al-radd \u2018ala Ahl al-Salib in Arabic.\u00a0 The book was a powerful blow to the structure of Christian belief because it was written by one of the greatest Christian scholars of the age.<\/p>\n[3] Following the introduction, he wrote about some events concerning the Hafsah State.\u00a0 He followed with nine chapters including one demonstrating that the four gospels were not written by the disciples of Jesus to whom they are usually attributed.\u00a0 He also discussed other topics including Baptism, Trinity, Original Sin, The Lord\u2019s Supper, The Indulgence, The Law of Faith.\u00a0 He refuted all of these doctrines based upon the texts of the Gospels and logical reasoning.\u00a0 He proved also the human nature of Christ and disproved his alleged Divine nature.\u00a0 He then exposed the contradictions in the interpolated texts of the Bible.\u00a0 He also discussed matters which Christians criticized the Muslims about, such as the permissibility of marriage for religious scholars and pious men, circumcision and physical enjoyment in Paradise.\u00a0 He concluded his book by proving the truth of the Prophethood of Muhammad using texts from the Bible.<\/p>\n[4] Coins of currency<\/p>\n[5] Extracted from Material on the Authenticity of the<\/p>\n
