What's your idea about Jesus (Peace be with him) in Islam?

Question

I mean many Christians have a wrong idea about Jesus (PBUH) in Islam. Someone asked a question about Jesus and Muhammad (Peace be upon them), and one of the answerers stated:

"Muslims deny the divinity of Jesus Christ, reject his sin-free life, and reject his perfect life example of peace and healing.

Muslims that I have met believe the Da Vinci Code that Jesus was a man who had sin and girlfriends and wives."

How ignorant! Yes we do deny that Jesus was a god, but he's one of the most highly respectable prophets in Islam:
-He was mentioned many times in the Qur'an, even more than Muhammad (PBUH)!
-He was described in Qur'an and Hadiths as a righteous man, sin-free (Yes we do believe he is sin-free), and never had sexual contacts with anyone.
-We do believe in his miracles (e.g: Raising the dead, healing people, etc.) but under God's power, not his.
-Believing in him is one of the 6 pillars of Islamic faith (Along with all the other prophets, starting from Adam to Muhammad).

-So the hell are these 'Muslims' he met?
-PLEASE read and study religions carefully before making such statments.

Answer 1

Muslims believe in the same Omnipotent, All-powerful, Unseen God that the Jews have believed in since Adam. However, unlike the Jews, Muslims join in with the Christians by also believing in Jesus as the "Christ"; "Messiah"; "Logos"; and "Miraculous Conception"; as well as all the previous Biblical prophets and their original scriptures that they brought. Muslims also believe that God is merciful and just to His creatures. So, they deny the concept of the 'Original Sin' [all children are born into the sins of their parents] and the 'Sacrificial Lamb' concept which requires the blood of Jesus, peace be upon him, to atone for the sins of the sinners. This being the case, how can Muslims say that God is just and that His revelation, the Bible, is corrupted? Where is it in God's great plan that His revelation loses all credibility? These are all very excellent questions.

It is a known fact that Jesus was regarded by his followers as a prophet and that what he preached was written down into physical form by his disciples. However, God placed the responsibility on humans to preserve the integrity of this message over time. When the people failed in their duty, it was made necessary for the Holy Qur'an to come into existence in order to correct the teachings that were changed. By God's mercy He revealed His will once again to Muhammad over 600 years later, and his companions similarly wrote it down and compiled it into what became known as The Holy Qur'an. By God's justice He promised that He would preserve it therefore making it the last revelation to humanity. Today an actual seventh century Qur'an, complete and intact, is on display in a museum in Istanbul, Turkey.

Answer 2

There is no Jesus in Islam.

The Quran never mentions Jesus at all, and if a Muslim tells you this he is deceiving you.

The Messiah's name in the Quran, and the Quran is the Word of Allah, and who knows better than Allah, is Isa al Masih ibn Mariam, translated honestly, Isa The Christ or Messiah, son of Mariam.

The Quran says that the Messiah was not crucified but so it seemed to those who only conjecture, meaning that the crucifixion was a hoax and all that is said to develop the hoax, which of course will include the Bible with the Gospels amd Jesus and Christianity, which the Quran advises all form the big hoax or trick.

When the Muslim says to the Christian that Jesus was a prophet and not God or son of God, and that Muslims respect Jesus, he is telling the Christian that Muslims respect Jesus but do not respect Christians and Christianity, not so?

How can Muslims respect Jesus when Jesus is a man God and a son of God in a Trinity, which Muslims see as blasphemy, and how can Christians be respected by Muslims for not only saying what Allah says is a blasphemy to say, but they have this blasphemy documented as established belief, so they do not only say but they write and insist that it is God's Word.

When Muslims refer to Islam and Christianity and Judaism as the World's only monotheistic religions, they do not undertsand Islam and they do not understand Christianity and they do not understand Judaism.

Nowhere in the Quran will you find Judaism or Christianity, but Muslims force the Quran to tell lies on Allah and produce these warped ideas about the Word of Allah.

How can Trinity be monotheistic?

Not even judging by the words of the Bible will Trinity be monotheistic when the greatest commandment in the Bible is "One God" and Trinitheism rejects the Oneness of God.

The Bible agrees with the Quran that the Messiah was not crucified, but, like the Quran, it also tells you that Jesus was not the name of the Messiah, but Muslims and Christians refuse to see this as true, and the Yahuudi say that the Messiah has not arrived, and the Yahuudi also do not accept that Jesus was the Messiah, although they know that the Messiah has come and gone.

There is no Jesus in Islam and this is evident in the Middle East where Allah is burning the Land that was cursed by the crucifixion of two thieves named Jesus on the Passover and into the Sabbath.

Do you know that Arab Christians say Isa al Masih is the Son of Allah and not that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?

So the blasphemy that Allah condemns in the Quran is preached by the Arab Christians and is condoned by their Arab Muslim brothers who embrace them as Nazaaraa, again in a misunderstanding of the Quran.

Dont be fooled by the King James Version of the Quran on all "Islamic" websites, they are false.

Answer 3

I know that there are many proofs in Quran shows that Islam holds a high possession for Jesus may Peace Be Upon Him. 1. Virgin Mary has a whole "Sourah" (I don't know the exact meaning in the Bible but I think a chapter is the same) even though Mohammad (PBUH)'s wives didn't have the same attention. 2. Jesus (PBUH) was mentioned 25 times whereas Mohammad (PBUH) is only 5 times.

Answer 4

Muslims may believe some things about Jesus, but they deny His divinity, and deny His death on the cross, which are the cornerstones of the Christian faith.

A sincere question though, you said that Muslims believe that Jesus led a sin-free life (I agree). Do Muslims believe that about Muhammad, or any other prophets?

Answer 5

I agree with you. Islam gives pride of place to Jesus or ISA as they call him. There are many prophets common to both Christianity and Islam starting with Adam,Noah,Abraham, Moses,Jesus ...But there are only three prophets who have Books associated with them.They have special place. These are Moses.Jesus and prophet Mohammad. Islam does not accept that Jesus was son of God. That would imply God having a family unacceptable in Islam. Although they accept Jesus as a prophet but some of the followers of Islam who are spreading terror and mayhem do not seem to accept the central teaching of Jesus. That is a tragedy and cause of worry world over.

Answer 6

The words you have posted from a Christian is a very common practice by many Christians these days and that is to make false claims about Islam's teachings without providing any source.
All Muslim countries have banned the book and movie "Da Vinci Code"

Answer 7

me too. we're taught to believe in all the prophets, jesus included and that they may hold special powers. but one thing we're taught that will always be emphasized everywhere, that they are MESSENGERS of god and not god.

Answer 8

First I respect your opinion about Jesus, or the opinion you have about Jesus as taken from the Quran. Please do not get angry if I express my opinion as taken from the Bible. The fact is that Jesus doesn't mean any thing to me or to any Christian in reference to how He is described in the Quran. His existence or non-existence to me is the same if I look at Jesus from the prospect the Quran provides about Jesus. What is another prophet or one less prophet mentioned in the Quran? Jesus as mentioned in the Quran is nothing but a prophet as other many prophets God had sent before him. To me that Jesus doesn't mean a thing. Also, it doesn't mean a thing to all the Christians in the world. There is where we disagree; there is the essence why Christians disbelieve in the Quran. The Quran has torn down the Bible into oblivion, the Quran has denied Christ and His rightful position with respect to God; the Quran denied Christ to be the sacrifice or the lamb that takes away the sins of Muslims (You yourself), Christians and the rest of all humanity. Moslems cannot be saved without Christ; neither can the Christians nor any human being no matter what his religion is. You asked an honest straight forward question and I am answering you an honest straight forward answer. Let it be known therefore, with my respect to your kind self, that no Christian can accept Muhammad as a prophet because of the degradation he brought to Jesus Christ. If you ask yourself a little question and be honest with your answer, you may be very easily able to realize why the Christian cannot accept Muhammad as a prophet; if you ask yourself why was it necessary for Jesus to be born not from the discordance of Adam, or let me try to put it this way: Jesus genes is different than all the genes of all human beings. Jesus did not inherit the corrupted gene and body that all human did as they came forth from Adam. Jesus was the only one who did not come from Adam. The Quran testifies to this fact and refers to this as Jesus creation is like Adam. This means that Jesus is the new Adam God created who came without sin. Jesus never sinned all his life. Our Bible also refers to Jesus (The Man Jesus) the Human being that is composed of flesh and blood to be the new creation of God, but be careful not to include the Spirit of Jesus that controlled or was in possession of his life. The Spirit of Jesus is another important essence what we Christians and Muslims disagree about. You deny the divinity of Jesus, and we confess the divinity of Jesus. Let us continue with what we started; discussing the divinity of Jesus would require another answer like this one - Regarding the question about why Jesus had to come as a new Adam without sin - Here is the reason why: If He were a prophet like all other prophets, then He could have come normally and like all other prophets who came before Him; they all came from an earthly father and mother. I don't think you deny that fact, because it is in the Quran. Have you taken any thought so far why is this? Why Jesus has to be born without sin and not being a descendant of Adam, but He must be like a new Adam whom God created perfect and without sin. You should have by now figured it out. Because He has a blood that is worthy before God to be used as the only acceptable sacrifice for Adam’s sin without which, all human beings will be condemned to Hell. God is a Just God. He cannot send me to Heaven while I am a sinful man doing nothing but sin and sin and sin. But if there was a man who can intercede between me and God and also who is not only having one nature, namely the nature of a man, but also possessing the divine nature so that God may accept his intercedance from one side and accept His sacrifice contained in His pure body that He gave up before God as a sacrifice for Adams sins, then there is your possible salvation and your joy for knowing that God forgave you all your sins by the death of Christ on the Cross. If you deny that fact as does your Quran, then there is no salvation to mankind and there is no Christianity and the Bible may be thrown to the garbage basket.

No more can be said. The only hope for humanity for their salvation is what the Quran is denying, and therefore sending every human being to hell. Can we accept your ideas about who Jesus was as described in the Quran? Can I send myself to Hell along with all humanity who have hope only in Jesus? You answer that question yourself. May God have mercy upon your soul and may He lead you to the way of everlasting life.

One last thing I should refer to, namely because Jesus is of a divine nature, He rose from death the third day, and ascended to Heaven and became the heir of all power in Heaven or on earth. Furthermore, by the resurrection of Jesus, we who accept Jesus as our Lord and our savior inherit His righteousness, and we can come before God and worship God and receive all the blessing and the glory that He has for us before the creation of the Universe.

Answer 9

You say that you believe that Jesus was prophet, a man who lived a sinless life, but you seem to not know that he was the son of God. He claimed to be one with the Father, "I and my Father are one." He also said he was the only way to the Father, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father except by me" John 1:1-34 states,

"1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2: The same was in the beginning with God.

3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4: In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5: And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6: There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7: The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8: He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9: That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10: He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11: He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15: John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

16: And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

17: For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

18: No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

19: And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20: And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21: And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

22: Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23: He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

24: And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

25: And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

26: John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

27: He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

28: These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29: The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

30: This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

31: And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

32: And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

33: And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

34: And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God."
