How Do Muslims View Jesus

What do Muslims think of Jesus?

“Can you tell me who people think I am?” Jesus posed this question to his disciples. How his followers understood his life and mission is seen in their responses, which range from John the Baptist to Elijah or one of the prophets. Today, asking Muslim communities all across the world the same question—who do you believe Christ to be?—is just as illuminating as it was then. The Quran references Jesus, also known as Isa, 25 times, but each time in a distinct way. The Quran teaches that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary (19:20–21) and that he is “highly esteemed in this world and the next” (3:45–47) as a result of his birth.

Asruh min Allah(“God’s Spirit”),mushia bi’l baraka(“the Messiah—someone blessed by God”),kalimah min Allah(“God’s Word”), andrasul (God’s Prophet-Messenger) are all terms used in the Quran to refer to him.

The miracles done by Jesus, such as curing the sick and reviving the dead, are described in detail in the Quran, but these miracles are not attributed to his divinity.

Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet who was given a particular message—injil, also known as the gospel—that he was tasked with spreading to all of humanity.

• As a result, Jesus plays an important and distinctive role in the Muslim religion.
• According to the Quran, Jesus was taken up into heaven (3:169) before his death was officially announced.
• According to Muslims, Jesus’ adversaries will never be victorious against him because he is God’s chosen servant.
• According to Islamic traditions, Jesus will return on the Day of Judgment, when he will demolish thead-dajjal, also known as the anti-Christ or impostor.
• Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, a Muslim philosopher who lived in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, urged Muslims to worship in the manner of Jesus.
• In his Islamic Christology, Mahmoud Ayoub, a contemporary Islamic theologian, discusses how Jesus embodies the fullness of mankind by being completely lit by God’s light (tajalli).
• Our unifying beliefs, however, include the virgin birth of Christ to Mary, profound reverence for the mystery of God’s existence, a deep affection for Jesus, and a readiness to learn from his life as we pursue happiness with God.

How Do Muslims View Jesus?

Over the years, there has been a tense connection between Christians and Muslims. They have frequently fought with one another – sometimes violently – for converts and political power over the centuries. Their shared affection and adoration for a person: Jesus Christ, has been overshadowed by their competition. There is no other culture outside of Christianity that has given Jesus the kind of adoration and devotion that the Islamic culture has. In Islam’s sacred source, the Quran, Jesus is depicted as a towering figure.

What exactly does the Quran have to say about Jesus?

Jesus in the Quran

The Quran describes Jesus as a guy who is ‘exceptional’ in all aspects of his life. Among all of the holy men included in Islam’s sacred book, he stands out because of his birth, mission, miracles, and death. The Quran devotes a significant amount of space to the tale of Jesus’ life and ministry. Overall, the stories of Jesus given in the Bible and the Quran are very similar, with only minor discrepancies in key specifics between the two sources. In contrast, the Quran expresses disagreement with some ideas developed by Christian theologians centuries after Christ, most notably the notions of “Incarnation,” “Trinity,” and “Original Sin.” These concepts, according to Islam, are incompatible with monotheism.

The Virgin Birth

A large portion of Chapter 19, which is entitled “Mary, ” is devoted to the tale of the Virgin Mary and her son, Jesus. Mary was under heavenly supervision while she prepared for a mission that she would undertake on her own. At long last, the angels of God descended on Mary and brought her the joyful news that she would soon become the mother of the Messiah Jesus, as follows: “She (Mary) asked herself, ‘How can I have a son if no guy has ever touched me?’ she remarked. The angel responded, ‘This is what your Lord said: ‘It is easy for Me – We shall make him an example to all people, a blessing from Us,’ and I replied, ‘I have not been unchaste’, to which the angel replied, ‘This is what your Lord said: ‘It is easy for Me – We shall make him a sign to all people, a blessing from Us,’ “And thus it was ordained: she became the mother of him.” (19:20-21) The Quran draws an eerie connection between Jesus and Adam (the paradigm of humanity) as follows: When it comes to God, Jesus is just like Adam: He formed him from dust, told him to “Be,” and Jesus became what he was.

(3:59) Both Adam and Jesus were formed by the direct intervention of the divine.

The phrase “breath of God” is a metaphor for the process of giving “shape” to anything according to God’s design and workmanship.

A Portrait of Jesus

A large portion of Chapter 19, which is entitled “Mary,” concerns the relationship between Mary and her son, Jesus. While preparing for a mission of her own, Mary was under the heavenly protection. Eventually, the angels of God descended on Mary and brought her the happy news that she would soon be blessed with a son, the Messiah Jesus, whom they named: “She (Mary) wondered aloud, ‘How can I produce a son when no guy has ever touched me?’ she said. The angel responded, ‘This is what your Lord said: ‘It is easy for Me – We shall make him an example to all people, a blessing from Us,’ and I replied, ‘I have not been unchaste’, to which the angel responded, ‘This is what your Lord said: ‘It is easy for Me – We shall make him a sign to all people, a blessing from Us,’ That is exactly what happened: she became pregnant with him.

When it comes to God, Jesus is just like Adam: He formed him from dust, told him to “Be,” and Jesus became what he was intended to be.

(3:59) Direct divine involvement was necessary for the creation of both Adam and Jesus. Jesus Christ was born to Adam and Mary by the Holy Spirit (21:91). As a metaphor, the phrase “breath of God” refers to the act of providing “shape” in accordance with God’s design and creation.

• God’s representative on earth. When mankind was living in a world plagued with darkness and despair, Jesus came to bring God’s message of peace, hope, and salvation to them
• He was called the “Word of God.” Jesus was a manifestation of God
• It was through Jesus that God communicated His love and mercy to humans
• Jesus was the manifestation of God’s Spirit. Because of his pure soul, Jesus served as a mirror, reflecting God to humanity.

It is worth noting that the Quran solely refers to Jesus as the ‘Word’ and the ‘Spirit’ of God in its descriptions of him (not even the Prophet Mohammad is portrayed this way).

The Miracles of Jesus

The Quran indicates that Jesus was given the authority by God to do miracles: “Jesus, son of Mary! You have been given the authority to perform miracles.” Keep in mind My favor shown to you and your mother: how I strengthened you with the holy spirit, so that you were able to speak to people both as a child and as an adult; how I taught you the Scripture and wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel; how, by My leave, you fashioned the shape of a bird out of clay, breathed into it and it became, by My leave, a bird; how, by My leave, you healed the blind person and the leper; and how, by My leave (5:110)

The Divinity of Jesus

The Quran affirms that Jesus was given the authority by God to do miracles: “Jesus, son of Mary! You have been given the authority to perform miracles.” Remember My favor to you and your mother: how I strengthened you with the holy spirit, so that you could speak to people in your infancy and as an adult; how I taught you the Scripture and wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel; how, by My leave, you fashioned the shape of a bird out of clay, breathed into it, and it became, by My leave, a bird; how, by My leave, you healed the blind person and the leper; how, by My leave, you brought the dead back (5:110)

Who is Jesus for Muslims?

The truth, in the eyes of the Muslims, is always spoken by Jesus. “The question is, how do we interpret it?” Zeki Saritoprak is a Turkish actor. The subject provided the photo. Islamic Jesus, a book written by Zeki Saritoprak, investigates the role of Jesus in the Qur’an as well as in Islamic theology. Numerous Islamic theologians, mystics, and intellectuals have been profiled in his writings, among them the 13th-century poet and Sufi mystic Rumi, and Bediüz­zaman Said Nursî, a Turkish Muslim scholar from the early twentieth century.

1. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Islamic Society of North America, which he teaches at John Carroll University in University Heights, Ohio.
2. In Islam, who exactly is Jesus?
3. As well as being a historical figure, Jesus lived in Roman Judea throughout the first century of the Common Era.
4. Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary, just as he was in both Islam and Christianity, and he had no biological father.
5. In Islam, Jesus came to his people with a message, just as all other prophets of God do.
6. He is a miracle worker and a healer, much as he is in the Christian faith.
7. Additional miracles attributed to Jesus are mentioned in the Qur’an.

The meaning of these new miracles is yet unclear.

To illustrate, consider the case of Jesus, who spake from his crib.

“Mary, you have done something quite dreadful,” they remarked.

The people inquired as to how they could communicate with a baby; Jesus then began speaking.

He has given me the Book and elevated me to the status of prophet.

“He raised me to be respectful to my mother and never to be haughty or rebellious.” Muslim believers, in addition to thinking that Jesus is one of God’s five greatest messengers, believe that Jesus will return to deliver justice to the entire globe.

In the history of God’s prophets, only Jesus’ eschatological return has been predicted.

A number of scholars believe that the Lord Jesus will truly and physically descend from the heavens and conduct a tremendous war against the Antichrist, Ad-Dajjalor.

Some of the more fascinating and fruitful interpretations link Jesus’ descent to the earth to the development of spirituality.

However, there is a great deal of ambiguity in this branch of Islamic theology.

Mary is the only woman addressed by name in the Qur’an, and the chapter named for her is Chapter 19 of the Qur’an.

According to the Qur’an, her mother was a steadfast worshiper who prayed to God for a son so that she may dedicate him to the temple when she became pregnant.

Instead, he presented her with Mary, who would go on to become the mother of Jesus.

Some Qur’anic passages inform us that God revealed his word to Mary, but he also instructed her to stay silent when her people inquired about her child.

As described by the Prophet of Islam, she is the most powerful lady in paradise, literally the “queen of all the ladies of heaven.” What is the significance of the term Messiahin Islam?

A literal translation of the word is “the Anointed One.” This has something to do with the word’s origin, which is mash, which literally means “to touch.” This had something to do with Jesus’ touching when he would heal individuals who were suffering from various ailments.

Nonetheless, most of the debate of Jesus’ eschatological purpose may be found in the Hadith literature, rather than in the Qur’an in its entirety.

Christians may be able to establish common ground with Muslims if they have a better knowledge of Jesus in Islam.

If I understand you well, you are claiming that in Islam, the “comforter” of John 14:16—who Christians believe to be the Holy Spirit—is translated as Muhammad.

What is the most effective way to recognize God’s constant presence?

In the Qur’an, the Holy Spirit is referenced numerous times in different contexts.

There is disagreement among Muslim interpreters over the meaning of the Holy Spirit.

Historically, a number of Muslim scholars believed that when the Qur’an alludes to the Holy Spirit, it was referring to the gospel.

As a result, the Qur’an and the gospel are both considered to be ” ruh Allah “, or the spirit of God.

Other interpretations have stated that it is “the pure spirit of God,” while yet others have stated that it is a sense of God’s presence in one’s surroundings.

The question is, how can interfaith discussion go once one party asserts that Jesus was not divine and the other asserts that Jesus was divine?

Disagreements should be used as opportunities for communication rather than as barriers to it.

After one of my talks on the subject of Jesus in Islam, a gentleman in the audience inquired as to what Muslims would say in response to Jesus claiming to be the Son of God.

We have an issue with what Jesus said, not with what he said, but with our perception of what Jesus said.

Islamist theologians will first search for evidence to support the argument, and then they will look for the words Jesus used in their original form or language.

Even if we are unable to resolve all of our theological disagreements in this manner, we will be able to get to know one another better and identify places where we can collaborate as well as areas where we disagree.

Was there a tie between the Prophet Muhammad and Christianity prior to his visit from the Angel Gabriel?

Despite the fact that Mecca was a commerce center at the time, we do not know whether or not there was an established Christian community there.

Some traditions claim that while he was a boy, he journeyed to Syria and met a monk by the name of Bahira.

Bahira desired to provide a supper for the tourists.

Bahira came to the realization that the cloud had remained with the caravan.

It was then that he noticed that the cloud was following Muhammad and requested them to fetch the kid.

Has your participation in interfaith discourse influenced your beliefs?

During my undergraduate studies, I focused on Islamic theology and law.

The majority of my grasp of this topic was theoretical.

During our time in school, we frequently discussed how Muslims should support the United States rather than the Soviet Union because Americans are People of the Book.

While living in the United States, I began to collaborate with Jews and Christians who shared many of the same characteristics of kindness that I had come to appreciate in Islam.

God, according to a Prophetic saying, does not look at your outward appearance, but rather at your heart and intentions.

For me, the concept of the People of the Book is essential because I believe that we all have many positive characteristics that may help us to become more cohesive as people and as a community when we work together.

The Qur’an is considered to be the most important source of Islam.

Scholars of Islam, with a variety of skills and objectives, have interpreted these sources, and as a result, Islamic law, theology, spirituality, and other aspects of Islam have developed.

If I had to choose one of these scholars who has had the greatest impact on my life, I would choose al-Ghazali from the classical period and Said Nursî from the modern period.

A version of this article appeared in the print edition of the June 7th issue of the magazine under the headline “Who is Jesus for Muslims?” It was revised on May 30 to reflect the fact that Waraqa ibn Nawfal was the Prophet’s wife Khadija’s cousin rather than her nephew, and that he was not the Prophet’s nephew.

What Jesus means to me as a Muslim

— The Royal National Society (RNS) In the aftermath of a recent interfaith panel discussion on Zoom in which we both participated, a pastor who is a dear friend of mine inquired, “So, what are you doing for Christmas?” he asked. “I’m putting my money aside!” I said. He answered with a chuckle, “Oh, OK, I’ll make sure to call you up again on Eid, and we’ll see how that money-saving plan is working out.” Afterwards, we had a pleasant discussion on holidays and customs, including why we Muslims don’t try to create an Eid Santa (who might have the same beard!

Muslims regard Jesus (peace be upon him) as a unique individual, and not in a just superficial or ambiguous manner.

Jesus is also mentioned in the Bible, where he is referred to as “the Word of God.” The chosen Messiah who will come to this world in its end days (though the meaning of this phrase varies between Muslims and Christians), Jesus is also differentiated in the afterlife by having a particular position in paradise, according to Muslims.

• Is there any link between Muslims and Jesus other than the fact that he is seen as a messenger of God in Islam’s basic theological conception?
• How often does the figure of Jesus appear in the life of the typical Muslim?
• It is not an exaggeration to state that I would be unable to remain a Muslim if I did not believe in Jesus as my Savior.
• If you reject any one of those articles of faith, you are essentially rejecting Islam, and if you reject any messenger of God (from Adam to Noah, Abraham to Moses, Jesus to Muhammad), you are effectively rejecting Islam.
• Do I, on the other hand, have a daily connection with Jesus?
• It is sprinkled throughout the Quran to tell the tale of Jesus, his miraculous birth, his miracles, creedal beliefs, and other aspects of his life.
• For example, the third chapter of the Quran is titled “Ale Imran,” which translates as “the Family of Imran,” and it is the family of Imran.
• Jesus is at the forefront of our thoughts in these passages, as well as in the chapter devoted to Mary, since he is the most important person in the world.
• “Did you steal?” Jesus is supposed to have questioned a guy who was stealing when he noticed him and asked him, according to the most reliable hadith collection compiled by the Persian imam and scholar Bukhari.

According to Imam Malik, one of the four great imams of Sunni Islam, a similar idea is communicated in the following quote from Jesus the son of Mary: “Do not talk much without remembering God, for by doing so you harden your hearts.'” Even if you are not conscious of it, a hard heart is likely to be separated from God.

• Instead, examine your own shortcomings as if you were servants.
• So offer kindness to those who are afflicted and give thanks to God for their well-being.” “Jesus stated, ‘You will never acquire what you desire except through patience with what you loathe,'” said the renowned Imam Al Ghazali, who is well-known for his works on spirituality.
• Various Islamic writings explore how to implement Jesus’ words in order for them to have the intended influence on our everyday lives, and they do so through several sayings like the one above.
• “I am the closest of the people to Jesus the son of Mary in this life and in the Hereafter,” the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) declared.

“How’s that, Oh Messenger of God?” it was asked at one point. “The Prophets are brothers from the same father, but they have separate mothers,” the Prophet said. In their faith, there is just one prophet, and there was no other prophet between us.”

What Do Muslims Believe about Jesus?

Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him).They consider him one of the greatest of God�s messengers to mankind.The Quran confirms his virgin birth, and a chapter of the Quran is entitled � Maryam � (Mary).The Quran describes the birth of Jesus as follows:

You may recall the angels saying to Mary that He (God) had spoken to her and that the Messiah’s name was to be revealed to her. Jesus, son of Mary, venerated in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those who has been brought close (to God). He will talk to the people from his cradle and as a man, and he comes from a family of good people. She said, “My Lord, how can I bear a kid when no mortal has come into contact with me?” As a result, he stated (it will be). God produces only what He desires.

1. Jesus was miraculously born at the order of God, the same command that had brought Adam into existence without the presence of either a father or a mother in the first place.
2. In the beginning, He made him out of dust, and then he came into existence when He exclaimed, “Be!” (Quran, verse 359 ) Throughout his prophetic ministry, Jesus accomplished a number of miraculous signs and wonders.
3. I hope this helps.
4. And, with God’s permission, I bring the dead back to life.
5. It is believed by Muslims that Jesus was not crucified.
6. A man with the resemblance of Jesus was placed over another man, and Jesus’ adversaries captured and crucified him on the pretense that he was the Messiah.
7. Instead of killing or crucifying him, they impersonated him and placed his likeness on another individual (and they killed that man).
8. 1 If you want to read in-depth articles on Jesus, please see the links under In-Depth Articles about Jesus.
9. However, this does not imply that Muslims believe in the Bible as we know it today, because the Bible we have today is not the original texts given by God.
10. In addition, the Committee in charge of updating the Holy Bible said the following: (Revised Standard Version).
11. They were able to acquire the evaluation and advice of a fifty-member Advisory Board comprised of members from the cooperating faiths.

iv, the Committee stated, “Sometimes it is obvious that the text has suffered in transmission, but none of the versions gives a satisfying repair.” We can only rely on the best judgment of qualified academics in determining the most likely reconstruction of the original text in this situation.

How Does Islam View the Person of Jesus Christ? by Don Stewart

Islam – Question number eleven Islam considers Jesus Christ to be a prophet of God. Indeed, He is considered to be one of their prophets. The following is a concise summary of the Muslim perspective on Jesus Christ.

1. Jesus Is an Important Figure in the Qur’an

To begin with, Jesus is regarded as a highly significant person in the Quran. Indeed, His name appears in ninety separate passages throughout the Quran, which are spread throughout fifteen Surahs. As a result, He is prominently featured in the Islamic holy book.

2. Islam Gives Jesus a Number of Honorable Titles

The Quran bestows on him a higher number of dignified names than any other religion. In fact, He has received more honors and distinctions than any other historical person. According to the Quran, Jesus is described as a “sign,” a “witness,” a “mercy,” a “example,” and “someone who is upright.” There’s more to it than that. Messiah, Son of Mary, Messenger, Prophet, Servant, Word of God, and a Spirit from God are all titles that Jesus is given in the Quran, according to the text. This serves as more proof of His significance.

3. Islam Teaches Jesus Was Born of the Virgin Mary without a Human Father

According to Islam, Jesus is the only prophet to have been born of a virgin, as opposed to the other prophets. It is said that Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary without the involvement of a human father. The Quran declares, “Behold!” “O Mary!” said the angels. God, by a message from Himself, brings you the good news that his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, who will be honored in this world and in the hereafter, and who (will be) among those who are the closest to God. And he will talk to men from the cradle to the grave, and he will be counted among the righteous.” “O my Lord!” she exclaimed.

In response, an angel stated, “Even so, God makes what He desires; when he want anything to be, he just says, ‘BE,’ and it becomes a reality.

And (I have come) to confirm the truth of whatever remains of the Torah that has been revealed to you so far, as well as to make some of the things that were before forbidden to you permissible.

If God is indeed my Lord and your Lord, then worship Him (alone), because this is the correct path.'” 3.45-51) (Surah 3:45-51) According to Islamic tradition, Jesus was born in a unique way.

4. Jesus Was a Created Being

While Muslims acknowledge that Jesus was born of a virgin, they also maintain that He is a created creature, rather than God the Son. According to the Quran, Jesus is compared to Adam in his relationship with Allah. He made him out of dust, then spoke to him, “Be,” and he became what he was meant to be.

(Surah 3:59; cf. This stanza has a certain amount of uncertainty. According to Muslims, it alludes to Allah producing Jesus. The “he” might, on the other hand, allude to Adam, who, according to the Bible, was made out of dust.

5. He Was a Miracle Worker by Allah’s Permission

According to Islam, Jesus did, in fact, perform miracles during His time on this planet. According to the Quran, His miracles were made possible because Allah permitted them. “O Jesus, son of Mary!” exclaims the Quran. Please keep in mind My favor toward you and your mother; how I strengthened you with the holy Spirit, so that you speak to mankind as if you were a mature adult; and how I taught you the Scripture and Wisdom and the Torah, as well as the Gospel; and how you shaped clay in the likeness of a bird by My permission, and blew upon it and it became a bird by My permission; and how you healed the blind and leper by My permission; and how you raised the dead, all by My permission 5:110 (Surah 5:110) Unlike Muhammad, who was credited with no miracles, Jesus was credited with many miracles.

However, in order to perform these miracles, Jesus needed Allah’s permission.

6. Jesus Was a Prophet but Not the Son of God

It is believed by Muslims that Jesus was a prophet of God, rather than the Son of God. According to Islamic tradition, he was in reality an inferior prophet than his predecessor, Muhammad. Islamic tradition considers Muhammad to be the final and greatest of the prophets. He is referred to as the “seal of the prophets.” It is said in the Quran that those who declared, “Verily, God is the Christ, son of Mary,” blasphemed, knowing that the Christ (himself) had spoken, “O children of Israel! “Worship God (alone), my Lord, and your Lord,” says the prophet.

1. People who claimed that God is one of three gods in a trinity were blasphemers, because there is only one God and no other gods.
2. Will they not turn to God in repentance and beg for His forgiveness as a result of this experience?
3. He was only an apostle; there were apostles who came before him; and his mother was a devout believer who never strayed from the path of righteousness; and they both ate food (like other mortals).
4. You may say something along the lines of: “Would you worship something other than God who has no ability to hurt or help you—when God alone is All-Hearing and All-Knowing?” (Surah 5:72-76; cf.
5. According to this verse, any attempt to compare Jesus with God in any way is blasphemy against God.
6. It is not my place to speak things that I have no authority to utter.
7. “Serve God, my Lord, and your Lord,” I simply replied to them in response to what You had instructed me to say.

Jesus was not God’s Son, according to Islam, which is supported by the Quran, but rather was a prophet of Allah, according to the Quran and other Islamic texts.

7. Jesus Was an Islamic Prophet

Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet of the Islamic faith. He was a devout Muslim, also known as an Allah-follower. He is the latest in a long line of prophets who have been referenced in the Bible. Abraham, Moses, and David are examples of such people. Islam believes each and every one of them to be an Islamic prophet. Jesus, on the other hand, is nothing more than a prophet. Indeed, according to Islam, He is not God the Son at all. Their stance is unambiguous.

The Christian Response to Islam’s View of Jesus Christ

Islamic prophets, according to Muslims, include Jesus Christ. It is safe to say that he was a devout Muslim or Allah’s devotee. he is the latest in a long line of prophets that have been recorded in the Bible There are several biblical figures that fit within this category. They are all considered Islamic prophets by Muslims. Jesus, on the other hand, is no more than a prophet. Islamic tradition holds that, in fact, he is not God the Son. Clearly, they have a point of view.

1. Jesus Was the Virgin Born Son of God

Islam holds that Jesus was born without the presence of a human father. They do not believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, which is described in the New Testament, despite the fact that it appears that they do. The miraculous conception of Jesus was made possible by the presence of the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, who hovered above Mary. The Bible provides the following explanation. When Elizabeth was six months pregnant, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a hamlet in Galilee, to see a virgin called Mary, who was then six months pregnant herself.

1. “Greetings, beloved woman!” Gabriel said when he appeared to her.
2. Mary was perplexed and worried as she sought to figure out what the angel was trying to tell her.
3. You will get pregnant and give birth to a boy, whom you are to name Jesus, according to the script.
4. And the Lord God will grant him the throne of David, who was his forefather.
5. “However, how can I have a baby?” Mary inquired of the angel.
6. As a result, the baby born to you will be holy, and he will be referred to as the Son of God by others.
7. Previously, everyone believed she was barren, but she’s now in her sixth month of pregnancy.
8. As a result, God the Son, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, took on the characteristics of a human being.

It is not the same theory as that held by Muslims on the conception of Jesus, as previously stated. This is really crucial to comprehend. Islam does not believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, as taught in the Bible!

2. He Was a Miracle Worker by Yahweh’s, or Jehovah’s Power

According to the Bible, Jesus performed miracles via the power of the God of the Scriptures. His name is Yahweh, which is sometimes spelled Jehovah. Muslim believers do not believe in the same God as those who believe in Jesus Christ. In the Gospel of Luke, we find the following passage. During one of Jesus’ teaching sessions, a group of Pharisees and professors of Jewish law gathered close to listen in. This group of men appeared to come from every hamlet in Galilee and Judea, in addition to Jerusalem, according to the reports.

(Luke 5:17 New International Version) Christ’s healing ability was given to him by the Lord, the God of the Bible, not Allah, the God of Islam, as is often believed.

3. Jesus Is More than a Prophet: He Is God the Son

The Bible teaches that Jesus is God’s Son, or God the Son. He possesses the same nature or essence as God the Father, according to some. The following is what the Bible says about Jesus’ connection with God. Beginning with the creation of the Word, and with God from the beginning of time, the Word became God. (King James Version) (John 1:1 KJV) Despite the fact that Jesus was entirely human, He was far more than a human being. Indeed, He is the Almighty God who took on the form of a human being.

4. Jesus’ Teachings Are Not Islamic

Muslims believe that the teachings of Jesus are in direct contrast with those of Islam, which emerged six centuries after Christ. This is true in every major sphere of life. In order to reconcile the Quran with the four gospels, there is no possible solution. Jesus made it quite clear where His teachings originated. “My teaching does not come from me, but it comes from the One who sent Me,” Jesus said. (Holy Bible Study Bible) John 7:16 God the Father, rather than Islam, was the source of His teaching.

To summarize, while Islam may show some reverence for Jesus, it falls well short of the level of regard that He deserves.

God the Son is the second person of the Holy Trinity, and he is the second Person of the Holy Trinity!

Summary – Question 11How Does Islam View the Person of Jesus Christ?

According to the Quran, Jesus is a significant character. In fact, He has been bestowed with a lot of distinguished designations. According to the Quran, He was born of the Virgin Mary without the involvement of a human father. They, on the other hand, consider Him to be a created entity. Jesus is also regarded as a renowned prophet in some circles. He was considered to be the predecessor of Muhammad, who was considered to be the final and greatest of the prophets, according to tradition. Islam is categorically opposed to the notion that Jesus is the Son of God.

• The Bible and the Qur’an are clearly at conflict with one another when it comes to the Person of Jesus.
• The Bible claims that Jesus was God’s only begotten Son, born of a virgin.
• He was born as the spotless Son of God, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, and the second person of the Holy Trinity.
• This is the doctrine of the virgin birth as taught in the Bible.
• Furthermore, Jesus’ miracles were performed via the power of Yahweh, not Allah.
• Despite the fact that He was a prophet, He was far more than a normal prophet; He was God Himself who took on the form of a human being.
• Indeed, Christians do not regard Muhammad to be a prophet of God in the traditional sense.
• As a matter of fact, they are in direct opposition to virtually everything that Islam stands for.

The portrayal of Jesus that the eyewitnesses provide is the genuine portrait of Jesus. This can only be found in the New Testament, not the Quran, and it is an important distinction.

What do Muslims believe about Jesus?

CBN.com- It is common to hear Muslims assert that “Muslims revere Jesus more than Christians do.” Furthermore, you will find that Islam has a rather well-defined theory of Christ, which you will find to be true. Its point of view is founded on the Qur’an, which contains more information about Christ than you may expect. Here’s a quick summary of what the Bible teaches about Jesus Christ. First and foremost, take note of the many names and titles that Jesus is given throughout the Qur’an. In addition to his given name “Isa” or “Isa Son of Mary,” he is usually referred to as “Al-Masih” (Messiah), and at various times has been referred to as “the Word of God,” “the Word of Truth,” “a Spirit from Him,” “the Messenger of God,” “the Prophet of God,” and “the Servant of God.” His famous status in this world and the next, as well as among those closest to God, has even been referred to (3:45).

The Qur’an also has a lot to say about Jesus, as you might expect.

In a nutshell, it expresses many amazing qualities about Him.

And therein is the problem!

Because, while the Qur’an praises Christ and highlights miraculous parts of His life, as previously said, it also explicitly rejects two of the most fundamental truths of the New Testament—His divinity and His crucifixion—and gives a fundamentally distorted interpretation of what they signify.

As a Prophet and Envoy of God of “surpassing magnificence,” according to one Muslim writer, Christ is considered as nothing more than a human being with human limitations.

And he is surely not God, or “the Son of God,” or any other title that would imply such a thing.

But we shouldn’t be intimidated by their presence.

First and foremost, we must attempt to comprehend how they arrived at such a conclusion. Above all, we must glorify Christ by living a life of true love and devotion to others, which defies such blatant misrepresentations of Christianity (I Peter 3:13-15).

Jesus in Islam

Islam recognizes and honors all of the prophets that have been sent to mankind. The prophets in general are revered by Muslims, but Jesus in particular is honored since he was one of the prophets who prophesied the arrival of Muhammad on the scene. Muslims, like Christians, are looking forward to Jesus’ second coming. The Muslims regard him to be one of Allah’s greatest prophets to the human race. A Muslim does not refer to him simply as “Jesus,” but rather adds the phrase “peace be upon him” as a display of reverence as a symbol of respect.

As a result of his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur’an is titled “Mary”), the Qur’an verifies his divinity, and Mary is believed to be one of the most pure women in all of creation.

Mary, God has given you excellent news about a message from Himself, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, who will be revered in this world and in the Hereafter, and who will be one of those who will be brought closer to God in the future.

She expressed herself as follows: “Oh, my God!

When He decrees something, He just speaks to it, ‘Be!’ and it becomes reality.” The Muslims believe that Jesus was born immaculately, and that he did so by the same force that brought Eve and Adam into existence without the presence of a father or a mother.” True to its name, the resemblance of Jesus with God is likened to that of Adam.

According to the Qur’an, he said the following: “We are here with a sign from your Lord: I create for you out of clay, as it were, a figure of a bird and breathe into it, and it miraculously transforms itself back into a bird by God’s permission.

A reference to this may be found in the Qur’an, where Jesus is claimed to have stated that he came “to testify the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was before forbidden to you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, therefore fear your Lord and follow me.” When it comes to Jesus, the Prophet Muhammad emphasized the significance of the man by saying: “Whoever believes there is no god but Allah, who alone exists without a partner, who believes Muhammad is His messenger, who believes Jesus is God’s servant and messenger, who believes His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and who believes Paradise and Hell are true, will be received by God into Heaven.”

Jesus in Islam

In other words, “you’re telling me you believe in Jesus in addition to Muhammad?” I recall my Christian friend’s bemused expression a few years ago when I told him about this. I had delivered a theological bombshell on him when I revealed that Muslims believed Jesus to be a prophet of God, and he had been taken aback. We believe in Jesus, but we also believe in the Virgin Birth, I said, pausing for dramatic effect. “Not only do we believe in Jesus, but we also believe in the Virgin Birth,” I said.

Maybe it’s because they call themselves Christians and believe in Christianity that Christians have a strong desire to claim ownership of Christ.

Many people, including my acquaintance, were completely unaware of this.

As many as 25 separate verses of the Quran allude to him by name, and he is described as both the “Word” and the “Spirit” of God.

In truth, Islam holds Jesus and his mother, Mary, in high regard (Joseph does not figure anywhere in the Islamic account of Christ’s conception).

In Islam’s sacred book, she is the only woman who is specifically referenced by name, and a chapter of the Quran is dedicated to her.

As Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra, an imam in Leicester and assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, explains, Mary was “the chosen lady,” the one who was picked to give birth to Jesus when she was unaccompanied by a spouse.

Islam rejects the doctrine of the Trinity, as well as the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The critique is presented in the form of an interrogation of Jesus by God: And when Allah says: “O Jesus, son of Mary!” the response is immediate.

He exclaims, “Be praised!” It was not my prerogative to say something I had no right to say.

Muslims revere and honor Jesus the prophet – but I frequently question if we are merely giving lip respect to his life and legacy, or if we are truly committed to him.

Is there a reason why Muslims commemorate the birth of Prophet Muhammad but do not commemorate the birth of Prophet Jesus?

Right-wing newspapers in the United Kingdom have raged against purported attempts by “politically correct” local authorities to minimize or even restrict Christmas celebrations.

“It’s an absurd notion to alter the name of Christmas,” says Mogra, who is in charge of the MCB’s interfaith relations committee.

They should keep their names as they are, and we should commemorate each and every one of them.” In the midst of escalating tensions between the Christian west and the Islamic east, I think that a shared emphasis on Jesus may assist to bridge the widening gap between the world’s two major religions, Islam and Christianity.

Others are in agreement. “We don’t have to battle for Jesus, as some believe. He has a particular place in the hearts of Christians and Muslims alike “Mogra expresses himself in this way: “He is a force to be reckoned with. We’ll be able to share him.”
