What is the Position of Jesus Christ in Islam?

Question

According to Muslim scholar Dr.Zakir Naik..

i)
Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh).

We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (swt).

We believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pbuh).


(v)
We believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission.

(iv)
We believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with God’s permission .

He said If Christians are those who follow the commandments of Jesus then we Muslims are more Christians then the Christians
themselves.

Answer 1

Here are some verses from the Holy Quran describing Jesus's birth:
[19:16] Mention in the scripture Mary. She isolated herself from her family, into an eastern location.
[19:17] While a barrier separated her from them, we sent to her our Spirit. He went to her in the form of a human being.
[19:18] She said, "I seek refuge in the Most Gracious, that you may be righteous."
[19:19] He said, "I am the messenger of your Lord, to grant you a pure son."
[19:20] She said, "How can I have a son, when no man has touched me; I have never been unchaste."
[19:21] He said, "Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me. We will render him a sign for the people, and mercy from us. This is a predestined matter.' "
[19:22] When she bore him, she isolated herself to a faraway place.
[19:23] The birth process came to her by the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "(I am so ashamed;) I wish I were dead before this happened, and completely forgotten."
[19:24] (The infant) called her from beneath her, saying, "Do not grieve. Your Lord has provided you with a stream.
[19:25] "If you shake the trunk of this palm tree, it will drop ripe dates for you.
[19:26] "Eat and drink, and be happy. When you see anyone, say, `I have made a vow of silence; I am not talking today to anyone.' "
[19:27] She came to her family, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have committed something that is totally unexpected.
[19:28] "O descendant of Aaron, your father was not a bad man, nor was your mother unchaste."
[19:29] She pointed to him. They said, "How can we talk with an infant in the crib?"
[19:30] (The infant spoke and) said, "I am a servant of GOD. He has given me the scripture, and has appointed me a prophet.
[19:31] "He made me blessed wherever I go, and enjoined me to observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and the obligatory charity (Zakat) for as long as I live.
[19:32] "I am to honor my mother; He did not make me a disobedient rebel.
[19:33] And peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I get resurrected."
[19:34] That was Jesus, the son of Mary, and this is the truth of this matter, about which they continue to doubt.
[19:35] It does not befit GOD that He begets a son, be He glorified. To have anything done, He simply says to it, "Be," and it is.
[19:36] He also proclaimed, "GOD is my Lord and your Lord; you shall worship Him alone. This is the right path."

As has been pronounced, 'Christ' ability 'Messiah'. it is shown at John a million:40-one the place it reads: "First this one got here upon his very own brother, Simon, and pronounced to him: “we've got here upon the Mes·si?ah” (meaning, while translated, Christ)." Jesus grew to grow to be the Christ while he grow to be anointed by utilising his Heavenly Father upon his baptism by utilising John the baptist. [Matthew 3:sixteen,17; Mark a million:9-11; Luke 3:21-23; John a million:32-34] those scriptures, mutually as no longer in specific pointing out it, are the gospel bills of ways and while Jesus grew to grow to be the Christ. As Yiannis pronounced, "God provides you a redeemer (Jesus Christ) as far back interior the previous testomony as Genesis 3:15", the 1st actual prophecy recorded interior the Bible. in case you study Daniel 9:25,26, you will see the prophecy there approximately while the Messiah might look. It informs us: "and you ought to comprehend and have the perception [that] from the going forth of [the] be conscious to repair and to rebuild Jerusalem until eventually Mes·si?ah [the] chief, there will be seven weeks, additionally sixty-2 weeks. she will have the capacity to return and be surely rebuilt, with a public sq. and moat, yet interior the straits of the situations. “And after the sixty-2 weeks Mes·si?ah would be shrink off, with no longer something for himself."

belive it or not. There is a whole chapter of Mother Mary and the birth of Jesus in the Holy Koran. Muslims do believe in Jesus, but Mohammed is believed to be the new messanger.

Answer 5

imaan -al-mufassal
"i beleive in Allah, in His angels, in His messengers, in His bboks, in the Last Day(Day of Judgement), and in the fact that all good and bad is from Allah, and in the Lfe after Death"

well u are right, we muslims beleive in Jesus-pbuh and the holy book that was revealed to him, injil (the real bible not the altered one). and we also beleive that he will be sent by God(Allah) in the last days of the world. but Jesus-pbuh will not come by himself, he will be sent by a power that is much higher.

jesus-pbuh was a man like all the messengers that came before him. there are many of the messengers before and after jesus-pbuh that performed miracles and cured people.

for eg- moses had 7 miracles in his account, noah-pbuh had his ark floating for 40 days and 40 nights, abraham-pbuh came out alive from burining fire when his father threw him on refusing to worship idols. and muhammed-pbuh gave split the moon in two.
so is it possible for us worship all of them. NO. they are humans.

so said, i beleive in all the messengers right from Adam to muhammed-pbut, all the 1,24,000 of them that were sent for the whole of mankind..

Adam -pbuh
enoch-pbuh
noah-pbuh
hud-pbuh
salih-pbuh
abraham-pbuh
ishmael-pbuh
isaac-pbuh
lot-pbuh
jacob-pbuh
joseph-pbuh
job-pbuh
moses-pbuh
aaron-pbuh
ezekeil-pbuh
david-pbuh
solomon-pbuh
elias-pbuh
elisha-pbuh
jonah-pbuh
zakariah-pbuh
john the baptist-pbuh
jesus-pbuh
muhammed-pbuh

Answer 9

At this point it is appropriate to offer a brief evaluation of Islam from a Christian perspective.


At the outset, it must be stated that there is much in Islam that the Christian can affirm. Among the most significant Islamic doctrines that can be genuinely affirmed by the Christian are its belief in one God, its recognition of Jesus as the virgin born, sinless prophet and messiah of God, and its expectation of a future resurrection and judgment.


There are, however, some very significant areas of difference. We will mention just a few. First, the Muslim perception of God is by no means the same as that revealed in the Bible. Islam portrays God as ultimately unknowable. In fact, in the Koran, Allah reveals His will, but He never reveals Himself. Neither is He ever portrayed as a God of love, nor as a Father to His people, as He is in the Bible.


Second, though Jesus is presented as a miracle working prophet and messiah, and even without sin, Islam denies that He is the Son of God or Savior of the world. Indeed, it is denied that Jesus ever died at all, least of all for the sins of the world.


Third, though mankind is depicted as weak and prone to error, Islam denies that man is a sinner by nature and in need of a Savior, as the Bible so clearly teaches. People are capable of submitting to God's laws and meriting his ultimate approval. According to Islam, man's spiritual need is not for a savior but for guidance.

This leads to the fact that since in Islam, acceptance by God is something we must earn by our works, it cannot possibly provide the sense of security that can be found in the grace of God as taught in the Bible.


Many of us will find opportunities to befriend Muslim neighbors, co-workers, or friends. As we do, we should be aware of some of the barriers that exist between Muslims and Christians, due to past and current animosities.


The attitude of many Muslims toward Christianity and toward the West is colored by the history of conflict that has found expression in the Crusades of Medieval times, European domination and colonialism, as well as Western support for Zionism in most recent times. We must allow the love of God to overcome our own fear and defensiveness and to penetrate these barriers.


In the past several years many Muslims have been deeply impressed by the compassion shown by Westerners (and particularly the United States) toward Muslim countries that have endured severe hardship. This kind of compassion can be shown on an individual level as well. As we do, we can then invite our Muslim friends to join us in a study of the New Testament, which reveals the only source of acceptance before God in His love and grace, expressed through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ and His gift of the Holy Spirit.
