Islam,Jesus and The Quran (reject, Moses, Earth, Messiah)

[maj123]

Islam and Jesus
Every body should know that Islam, speaks highly of Jesus and his respected mother, Mary. Islam makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus as a great prophet, so none considered to be a real Muslim until he/she believes in the prophet Jesus as well
As believing in Muhammed and all the other prophets.
Unlike Jews' view of Jesus who reject him outright, According to Islam, Jesus was chosen Messenger of God who, like Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Muhammad, was sent to call mankind to the righteous and divine way of life.
But also unlike the Western Churches' view which present him as the Son of God or part of divinity, but does this mean that Islam belittles Jesus or denies some of his unique characteristics that set Jesus apart from all other men. such as His Born of a virgin mother by the power of God, and thus without a human father.
However, this is no way makes him of divine nature or God's son any more than it
makes Adam, who was born without the agency of parents at all.
The Holy Quran confirms that Jesus was born miraculously without the intervention of any man, but that event is compared to the creation of Adam, who had no parents at all: God willed it and it took place.
The Holy Quran also confirms that Jesus was saved He was neither crucified nor killed; rather, he was raised to heaven to return as a Sign for the coming of the Day of Judgment.
By the way Islam's concept of Jesus doesn't omit the concept
of salvation rather it offers the simplest method of it which is to believe in only one god
and to act according to His commandments which revealed by His messengers
(Peace be upon them)
In my Quran translated program I searched for the word Jesus and it gave me the
following result so I thought that it would be interesting to share them with
my Christian friends on this board especially at these days of Christmas celebrations

Surah/Chapter 002 - Al-Baqarah. Verse 87.

And verily We gave unto Moses the Scripture and We caused a train of messengers to follow after him, and We gave unto JESUS, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's sovereignty), and We supported him with the holy Spirit is it ever so, that, when there cometh unto you a messenger (from Allah) with that which ye yourselves desire not, ye grow arrogant, and some ye disbelieve and some ye slay?

Surah/Chapter 002 - Al-Baqarah. Verse 136.

Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto Us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob. and the tribes, and that which Moses and JESUS received, add that which the Prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.

Surah/Chapter 002 - Al-Baqarah. Verse 253.

Of those messengers, some of whom We have caused to excel others, and of whom there are some unto whom Allah spake, while some of them He exalted (above others) in degree; and We gave JESUS, son of Mary, clear proofs (of Allah's sovereignty) and We supported him with the holy Spirit. And if Allah had so willed it, those who followed after them would not have fought one with another after the clear proofs had come unto them. But they differed, some of them believing and some disbelieving. And if Allah had so willed it, they would not have fought one with another; but Allah doeth what He will.

O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth.

And Allah is sufficient as Defender.

Personally I find the story of the Nativity in the Qur'an much more compelling and satisfying than the Nativity of the Gospels. The Qur'an's narrative is much MORE miraculous than the Gospel's narrative.

I agree. As a muslim, i believe that Jesus (as) was a special messiah of god, sent to reform the children of Israel. His birth was miraculous, adding to his special connection with God Almighty. The only thing i differ with is in regard to when you say that he was raised to heaven. But, that's for another topic.

Anyways, good job on conveying that muslims are not all out against christians, as i know some people do believe, although probably not on this forum.

If Jesus wan't "the Son of God" then whom exactly was the father? Someone/something made Mary preggers. Inquiring minds eagerly wish to know.

I'm just guessing, but i think there was no father.

God caused Mary to become miraculously pregnant. In a similar way to Him miraculously "pinging" the universe, the Earth, Adam and Eve into existance, He "pinged" an embryo into Mary's womb. He didn't really father Jesus anymore than he fathered the plants and the stars, He created them all.

Nice to see you still have a sense of humor, Paul. Pinging, eh? Methinks it is more likely Pong, rather than ping. Hmmm. I wonder if we could do a Tracert on god?

Mary asked that question, according to the Quran. "How can this be?" The angel answered, saying God willed it so, and God need only say BE, and it IS. Surely, IF God's will is the trigger of Creation, then willing one woman to bear a son is not much of a challenge, is it?

As to tracing God? Some people see traces of Him everywhere, some don't; some need to look, some don't.
