- Muslims love Jesus. We also love Abraham, Moses, and Noah, to name just a few other Prophets Muslims revere. May God’s peace be upon all of these great messengers of God.
- Muslims also love the mother of Jesus, the Virgin Mary. We believe she was a pious and noble woman chosen over all of the women of the world.
- Muslims believe that Jesus was born miraculously of a virgin mother and no father. His birth is miraculous like the birth of Adam, the first human being, who was created with neither mother nor father.
- Muslims do not believe that Jesus was the son of God. God is so powerful and self-sufficient that He does not need a son or any kind of partner. We are Monotheists not Polytheists/Tritheists.
- In the Arabic Bible the name for God is Allah. Therefore all Arab Christian call God Allah as all Muslim nationalities do because Arabic is the liturgical/sacred language of all Muslims regardless of nationality.
- Jesus did not die on the cross. Rather, God saved him as his enemies were confused about him. Jesus was taken up by God to Heaven.
- Jesus is called Isa (pronounced Eesa) in Arabic.
- Jesus performed miracles by the Will of God, like healing the blind and those with leprosy.
- Jesus prayed to the same God as all Prophets and we pray to.
- Jesus will return before the end of the world.
Re: Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) In Islam
Not dying on the cross is also mentioned in the Apocalypse of Peter and Gospel of Barnabas,I wonder why it isnt part of the christian faith.
How do you pronounce Jesus in aramaic?
Re: Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) In Islam
Who speaks aramaic?
Original bible is supposed to be in latin?
Re: Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) In Islam
This is what John Gilchrist writes
"Militant Christian writers say Allah cannot be a representation of the true God because, according to the Qur'an, he is not Triune, he has no Son, etc. Well then, the Yahweh of the Jews today cannot be the true God either because they maintain that he too is not Triune and also has no Son. At least Islam acknowledges Jesus as a man sent from God but the Jews say Yahweh did not send Jesus at all! Nonetheless those who deny that Muslims believe in the true God will never lay this charge at the feet of the Jews. They liberally accept that the God whom the Jews worship today is the true God, yet the Jews deny Jesus Christ entirely. Why, then, can we not at least concede that the Muslims offer their worship to God as well? Instead of attributing their worship to a false god, should we not rather hold that it is duly offered to the true God but is not acceptable outside of faith in Jesus Christ? (cf. Matthew 15.9 - "In vain do they worship me"). "
Re: Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) In Islam
I thought jesus spoke aramaic,
Re: Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) In Islam
Jesus (a jew?) could've spoken greek or roman since those were official court languages back then?
Jews say back then they spoke hebrew but there is no evidence of that.
Re: Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) In Islam
True!
I think mostly spoken in Syria (majority wise), and thats where Isa (AH) will return to start his life again.
