I dedicate this book sincere Muslims looking for truth of the God of Abraham. May they get the chance/opportunity to obey the Torah and serve him.

Caution note

Rabbi Simon Altaf Hakohen does not believe Yahushua is the Messiah. However the information is presented as is regards flawed pagan Christian doctrines. Torah is king and should be adhered to, there is no greater revelation. Tanak is the only set-apart book available to us to run our lives and live according to the Halacha, set by our elders. The only accepted form of salvation is found in the books of the Torah, which is to adhere to the God of Israel and his voice which are the contracts he gave for us to obey. Get our Hidden-Truths Hebraic Scrolls Tanak for more understanding on the matter.

Prologue

Some terminologies

    I have used the word YHWH, the Tetragrammaton (four letters) pronounced Yah-oo-weh as written and pronounced according to my ancient understanding of Semitic languages that I have personally studied.  Some people pronounce the set-apart name of God as Yehowah according to the Nikud pointings in the Aleppo codex but my research concludes the correct pronunciation is not Yahuweh according to a much older cuneiform tablets from the Murashu texts written in Aramaic. Many Africans pronounced it as YEHWEH however by and large what I have stated as Yah-oo-weh is correct.  This is not a salvific issue but an issue of understanding. If you wish to use different pronunciations that is fine as to Publish the name (Deut 32:3) is all about upholding the Torah, the commandments, Statutes and Judgements of the Most High.

Also I use the generic titles such as God, Eloah, Elohim where necessary. YHWH is the personal NAME of the God of Abraham, its not Ahayah, which is a kabalistic name used in the texts of Exodus 3:14 wrongly translated as I am that I am.  For the Christian alleged Messiah Rabbi Jesus (The Catholic/Christian falsehood of raising him to God when he is not) I use the correct Hebrew name Yahushua from the earliest Murashu texts as opposed to the late 16th century appellation Jesus, which in no way is accurately transliterated.  How this name arrived at the term Jesus from Yahushua or the short form Yeshua is a long story.  I will not get into it as it is not the purpose of this book.

    I will quote from the Kings James version or New King James version and if different I will illustrate as such, my own text in the Bible verse will appear in round brackets.  I will be quoting from the Hidden-Truths Hebraic Scrolls 6th Edition to illustrate some pertinent points.  This Bible can be obtained from our website (www.african-israel.com or Amazon) and is an excellent study Bible for your resource, no Hebrew roots bible even comes close to its translation and excellent commentaries.

    I have written several books on different subjects of the Israelites but this one is pretty much for the Muslim reader to share my experiences and my thoughts that they may come to know the one true God that our father Abraham paid homage to, whose name I have come to know as YHWH commonly called God/L-rd in the West.  I will use evidence from the Qur’an, Hadiths, the Tanak, and the antiquities to show and validate any conclusions I make.

    Many Muslims think that the United Kingdom is a Christian country.  However, when you consider that the UK (Great Britain) has murdered 194,400 babies by abortion (Figure from Metro paper 19th September 2006) one could hardly call it a Christian nation any longer!  If it is still Christian in your mind then it is one extremely apostate. This nation’s decline is primarily due to its liberal attitudes for morality and the disregard for the family unit today. Although it has beautiful church buildings and cathedrals but the nation as it stands today is in moral and spiritual decay for its sins against God and the true children of Y’sra’el. Christianity isn't exactly the truth either so it hardly matters Christian nation or not.

    What is my purpose behind this book?  The purpose of this book is that Muslims, from those whom I also have come, may come to know the one true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who is YHWH pronounced as Jesus by the present day Church but Jesus was not God, nor even the Messiah, he didn't even come close.  That the Muslims may experience the richness and increases of worship that I have experienced, that they may have eternal life with God, which I have come to love, the God of my father Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Yaqub (Jacob), and that they may enjoy His eternity and His world to come.

    The kingdom of YHWH is here today if you want it, all you got to do is call out to Him and repent of your sins and walk with Him to obey His Torah that lists his commandments, statutes and judgments. Is that too difficult? Most Muslims are already obeying may of the Torah commandments, two such being the males to be circumcised and not eating pork.

Hidden-Truths Hebraic Scrolls Tanak

Yoel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of YHWH shall be rescued: for in Mount Tsiyon and in Yerushalim shall be restoration, as YHWH has said, and in the remnant whom YHWH shall call.

YHWH = set-apart name of God.

    God clearly defined salvation and atonement in the through the contracts/agreements he made with our forefathers.

    Rightly the Torah reveals good wisdom that God is not a man and neither has a need to repent or lie. The Christians claim God became a man to repent and die on their behalf, a fallacy they live under and pure idolatry.

Number 23:19 El (The Power) is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? Or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

    In other words God is not a man also He has nothing to do with the nature of a human being created from the dust of this world whether temporary or permanent as God is not a creature which some allege.

    Can we really believe that an unclean man that the Torah forbids should be sacrificed for atonement?  The answer is No, It is not a sin for a child to be born through a sinful flesh but God does not have a need to do this.

Leviticus 20:3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given of his children to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my set-apart name.

Deuteronomy 12:30-31 You shall not do so to YHWH your Elohim: for every abomination to YHWH, which he hates, have they done to their elohim; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their elohim.

    Think how much pain it was for people to go to the Temple in Jerusalem to celebrate the feast of Yom Kippur and to obtain forgiveness of their sins for the whole year, year by year so those that could not attend would not be able to get forgiveness but God made a better method through Yahushua the Messiah for once and for all times.

This is what the Christians/Catholics allege. However this is a a falsehood. When the Temple was standing the Yahudim gladly went to the Temple from all over the world and had no problem to repent and bring sacrifices in the then standing Temple. However, since there is no Temple today that means we can do Teshuvah (repentance) right at home without attending the Temple as God allowed us to do such a thing as the prophet Hoshea writes which covers us until the time of our restitution;

Hos 14:2 (HTHS) Take with you words, and turn to YHWH: say to him, Take away all our perversions, and receive us graciously: so will we render repentance of our lips rather than the offering of sacrificial bulls.

Chapter 1 - I will die a Muslim

I used to think the same way, we have a faith we have a way of life, even though my family had migrated to the UK, life here was very different from Pakistan, where I was born and raised in the Islamic faith.  In the UK, people behaved differently.  My family and I were in a culture foreign to our way of life and basically it was a shock to live in a true multicultural society with many tongues, many nations, and many cultures. 

    In Pakistan we were accustomed to one thing and one way only and that was the way of Allah. I had never met a a Jewish man practicing Torah and, in fact, the only Christian you could meet or at least what we called Christian was the word Isahi meaning from Esa, which is the name Muslims give Jesus in the Qur’an in Arabic but they practiced their idolatry quite happily. 

There was a woman who would come to take away the rubbish and clean the toilets in our homes and was Christian but no one wanted to shake her hands or give her a pat on the back that was my exposure to Christianity, while living in Pakistan.  I knew most of these people were on the lower rungs of the ladder.  Even these poor people who did not get other well-paid jobs in an Islamic society had to do these menial jobs that no Muslim wanted to do. I knew Christians did not worship God the correct way due to bad theologies and their wrong traditions. At least Muslims had elements of the Torah. One searching for truth could not get the full truth from Christians since they disobey the Torah so one would have to find someone who
