Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting to commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to Mohammed. Let us examine the different ways Allah of the Koran and God of the Bible transmit their messages.
Allah claimed to have sent messengers to every nation and "there never was a nation but a warner had passed among them (Quran 35:24)", but unfortunately every nation denied its messenger (Quran 23:44) and the messages were lost. Allah seemed to have sent many messengers to Israel, none to China, and stopped sending messengers after one had been sent to the Arabs.
God of the Bible sent His messengers to only one nation - the nation of Israel (Matthew 15:24, Romans 3:2). The written message (Hebrews 1:1-4, Luke 24:27) began with Moses and ended with John the Apostle. The message were rejected (Romans 3:3), the messengers were stoned (Matthew 23:37) but the message prevailed (Matthew 5:18).
Yes, there are great benefits! First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the whole revelation of God. True, some of them were unfaithful; but just because they were unfaithful, does that mean God will be unfaithful? Of course not! Even if everyone else is a liar, God is true. As the Scriptures say about him, "You will be proved right in what you say, and you will win your case in court." (Romans 3:2-4 NLT)
