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 (torah) (gospel) (zabor) all these books sent by allah in the last centuries but at last allah sent quraan to this world

and about what i told you
every thing is written in quraan so we have to believe quraan because it is written by the only god (allah)
quraan sent by allah before 1400 years
but every thing will happen in the future is written
and mohammed (peace be upon him) told us many things and also he told us every thing will happen in the future
some of that things are done and we wait for the other things

example:


he told us about the war which will be in iraq
he told us about a big fire in yemen ( and it,s done in that century )
he told us about huge buildings ( and it is done ) can not you see the huge buildings
he told us about israel in plastein ( and it is done )

he knew what will happen in future because allah sent jebreel (an angel) to tell him every thing to proof that he a prophet and messenger from allah to whole the world

[Fallibleone]

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 said you misunderstand me but i mean all of people here in this forum not you

My advice would be to make yourself more understandable.

and if you do not have any religion you will be like an animals

We are animals. Welcome to the animal kingdom, Homo Sapiens.

i want you to answer my questions

1- who create skies and earths ?

I don't know. Why do you think it was a 'who'?

2- who create you ?

My parents.

3- who will take your soul when you die ?

a)Please show evidence for the existence of a soul.

b)Supposing that souls exist, I don't know. What makes you think that anyone will take it?

4- how we came here in the earth ?

I don't know.

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

No one can answer your questions with anything other than opinion, yourself included. You might notice that I have said 'I don't know' a lot. That's the honest response to make.

he is allah ( the only one god )
allah created the skies and earth and every thing before he create us by 50000 years
after that he created the human (first human is adam ) after that allah sent a messenger to every century to tell the people about allah and about the real religion so allah was sent a books to that messengers peace be upon them to learn people
and each book of them was different
finally allah sent mohammed peace be upon him to be the last prophet to this world to learn them islam and to learn them how to be straight
allah sent quraan to mohammed and mohammed sent it to whole the world
there is some people believe him and there is disbelievers

What you have given here is an opinion. These are not answers.

i am sorry if i annoys you

I don't know. Why do you think it was a 'who'?

because it is written in quraan and other religions know that there must be a god
so how we came here !! there must be a god created us and create every thing

My parents.

so who create your parents and and and and >>>> who create the first human ?

a)Please show evidence for the existence of a soul.

b)Supposing that souls exist, I don't know. What makes you think that anyone will take it?

the one who can create you able to take you
so why we die ?? !! how die !!!
there must be a soul and if you do not believe in souls you have to believe that you will die and the one who makes you die can get you back
allah can do any thing

I don't know.

you have to look for the answer because you are not really animal you have mind to think
allah created us to test us ,, you can read quraan every thing is written there before 1400 years

No one can answer your questions with anything other than opinion, yourself included. You might notice that I have said 'I don't know' a lot. That's the honest response to make.


it is not opinion .. allah said that in quraan and mohammed (peace be upon him said that too )

and you really do not know so many things ,, you live with no aim
just eating and sleeping !!!!]

[McCulloch]

because it is written in quraan and other religions know that there must be a god

The Qu'ran is wrong. So are the other religions. Why must there be a God?

so how we came here !! there must be a god created us and create every thing

We don't know. Why must there be a God?

so why we die ?? !! how die !!!

Humans die like all other living beings. There are lots of evolutionary reasons.

there must be a soul and if you do not believe in souls you have to believe that you will die and the one who makes you die can get you back

This is very close to nonsense. Why must there be a soul? What is a soul? Why must you believe that death is not final?

allah can do any thing

Imaginary beings generally can.

you have to look for the answer because you are not really animal you have mind to think

Really, humans are animals. We are not plants are we? We have minds. Perhaps we should look for answers. But let's not jump at an answer because some prophet in a cave said something.

it is not opinion .. allah said that in quraan and mohammed (peace be upon him said that too )

It is an opinion. It may be Mohammad's opinion, but it is still just opinion without evidence.

and you really do not know so many things ,, you live with no aim just eating and sleeping !!!!]

Which is better: To have an aim that has no basis in truth or reality or to have no aim?

[muhammad rasullah]

there must be a soul and if you do not believe in souls you have to believe that you will die and the one who makes you die can get you back

This is very close to nonsense. Why must there be a soul? What is a soul? Why must you believe that death is not final?

Then How does evolution explain emotion if there is no soul?

I have found that by providing proofs of everything is not enought because they will simply disagree. So we have to reason with them limit your proofs in the beginning and discuss the claims and reason with them and provide your proofs as you go along. When you reason it's very hard to deny truth because your own mind comes up with the answers for you not someone else!!

please my dear mohammed rasullah discuss every thing with them because i am sick and tired of talking with them
they are the strongest disbelievers i had ever met

What do you mean by soul?
Do you believe that only humans have emotions? Or do other animals have souls too?

Biochemical reactions in the brain. It is obvious even cats and dogs show emotion,
and other mammals, yet many will claim they do not have souls.
