jesus in islam

[CONVERTED TO ISLAM]

The Islamic view of Jesus lies between two extremes. The Jews, who rejected Jesus as a prophet, called him an imposter, while the Christians, on the other hand, considered him to be the son of God and worship him as such. Islam considers Jesus to be one of the greatest and most forbearing of prophets, in addition to Noah, Abraham, Moses and Muhammad, may God praise them. Jesus is also considered to be the Messiah as well. This is in conformity with the Islamic view of the Oneness of God, the Oneness of Divine guidance, and the complementary role of the subsequent mission of God’s messengers.

The message of God to humanity, which is to worship God and God alone and to live according to His instruction, was revealed to Adam (peace be upon him), who passed it on to his children. All the subsequent revelations to Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and, finally, Muhammad are in conformity with that message. Thus, Islam views any contradictions among revealed religions as man-made elements introduced into these religions. The position of Jesus in the three major creeds- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam- is not an exception.

Although the Quran does not present a detailed life-story of Jesus, it highlights the important aspects of his birth, his mission, his ascension to heaven. It also passes judgment on the Christian and Jewish beliefs concerning him. We will look at some of the truths which God revealed about Jesus in the Quran.

Born of a Virgin Mother
Like Christians, Muslims believe that Mary, Maria in Spanish, or Maryam as she is called in Arabic, was a chaste, virgin woman, who miraculously gave birth to Jesus. Jesus’ birth in itself was a miracle in that he had no father. God describes his birth in the Quran as follows:

“And mention in the Book (the Quran), Mary, when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her a spirit from Us, (the angel Gabriel), and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects. She said: ‘Verily, I seek refuge with the Most Gracious (God) from you, if you do fear God.’ (The angel) said: ‘I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son.’ She said: ‘How can I have a son, when no man hath touched me, nor am I unchaste?’ He said: ‘So (it will be), your Lord said That is easy for Me (God): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (God), and it is a matter (already) decreed (by God).’” (Quran 19:16-21)

This fact, however, does not necessitate that Jesus is divine in essence or spirit, nor is he worthy of worship, for Adam’s existence was more miraculous than that of Jesus. If his miraculous birth were a proof that Jesus was God incarnate or His son, then Adam would have more right over this divinity than him. Rather, both are prophets who were inspired with revelation from God Almighty, and both were servants to Him living according to His commandments.

“Indeed, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, then He said to him: ‘Be!’ and he was.’” (Quran 3:59)

Miracles
Muslims, like Christians believe that Jesus performed miracles. These miracles were performed by the will and permission of God, Who has power and control over all things.

“Then will God say: ‘O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favor to you and to your mother. Behold! I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit (the angel Gabriel) so that you did speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught you the Book and Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel. And behold: you make out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and you breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by My leave, and you heal those born blind, and the lepers by My leave. And behold! You bring forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to you) when you did show them the Clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: ‘This is nothing but evident magic.’” (Quran 5:110)

God sent all prophets with miracles specific to the nation to whom they were sent to prove the veracity of their message. These miracles were not performed of their own accord; rather, they were only manifest in their hands by God's will. The miracles performed by Jesus were no different. The Jews were well advanced in the field of medicine, and the miracles which Jesus brought were of this nature, proving the truth of His message and in order to convince the Jews.

it is so clear , allah sent a massenger (prophet mohammed) to tell all of ppl about god and about islam so doncha wanna believe that why!!

This is not clear to me. Please provide some evidence to back up your repeated claim. Otherwise I will have to conclude that you are a troll.

This is part of the rules of this site, which you agreed to when you registered. Support your assertions/arguments with evidence. Do not make blanket statements that are not supportable by logic/evidence.

hay wyvern
i always see your coment about islam so i guess there must be 1 of these 2 reasons

1- maybe you want to hug islam but you still not sure about it but you believe by your heart

2- or maybe you hate islam very much

so what one of that are you?!

Neither I simply want to understand, as I noted your statements and those of a christian televangelist are nearly identical and I would like to know what makes your religion any different.

i said that because i saw yar coments ( you know so many things about islam)
but you dont want to hug it because satan (sheitan) who whispers into hearts
told you not to believe in islam

Just because I don't see things the same way as you don't assume that it is because of a supernatural agency, you will tend to be wrong.

i mean c,mon man
it is so clear , allah sent a massenger (prophet mohammed) to tell all of ppl about god and about islam so doncha wanna believe that why!!

If it is so clear it should be simple to illuminate me.

[CONVERTED TO ISLAM]

hi wyvern
i gave you so many proofs from quraan and sunnah but you do not want to believe
do you know why allah will put non-muslims in hell after death ?!
because he sent so many prophets and messengers to tell people about every thing
mohammed peace be upon him is the last prophet to this world
allah gave us quraan
you (non-muslims) heard every thing about islam and you can read quraan also you can read sunnah (what mohammed says)
so why you do not want to believe
you must feel the punishment because you said :
mohammed is lier and there is 3 gods !
juses is a prophet and muslims loves him more than christians
he is a human he is not a god
maria is a human too

god ( allah )
created us
god ( allah )
created the earths and skies in 6 days

so the one who could create that will be able to create juses without husband
yes he can and you know that

there is no way
you can not say any thing when allah judge you in judgement day because he told you every thing but you does not want to believe
i am so sorry about you

Converted, I suggest you read the entire thread "Islam is the only Truth..."

We've already covered this territory ad nauseum and most people in here know more about Islam than you probably do. Read that thread and see what I mean.

Also, people here are quite accustomed to Muslims coming into the Christian forums thinking they are going to convert everybody.

I always misunderstand you? I was completely ignorant of your existence until roughly 10.00am GMT today.

To a certain extent I am free. That is partly due to the fact that I don't have a religion.

i want you to answer my questions

1- who create skies and earths ?
2- who create you ?
3- who will take your soul when you die ?
4- how we came here in the earth ?

There are two approaches you can take towards answering these questions. The first is to honestly admit that we really do not know. Then you build hypotheses to explain them. You test the hypotheses against available evidence. Based on those tests, you correct your hypotheses. This is called science. The other approach is to say that you've got a magic book from a spirit being that has all of the answers in it. This is called religion.

Which approach do you favour? How is it that you know that you have a soul that will continue when you die?

if you can not answer my question i will tell you my self

he is allah ( the only one god )
allah created the skies and earth and every thing before he create us by 50000 years

Nice, you have provided answers. Other people have different answers. Now, according to the rules of honorable debate, you get to provide evidential support for your answers.

What evidence do you have that humans have been on this earth less than 160,000 years? What evidence do you have of these books from every century?
