Why is it that Jesus has so much value then other Prophets(Peace Be Upon Him)???

Question

Christians say, Jesus(PBUH) is the son of God. Jews say, Moses(PBUH) is the son of God. What about other Prophets???

Did Abraham preach about Jesus or Moses as son of God???

*PBUH(Peace Be Upon Him)

Answer 1

Jews do not say this about Moses.

Firstly about Jesus,

[005:072] Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "God is the Messiah ['Îsâ (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Îsâ (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship God, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with God, then God has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong doers) there are no helpers.

[005:073] Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "God is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no Ilâh (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One God). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall on the disbelievers among them.

[005:074] Will they not turn with repentance to God and ask His forgiveness? For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[005:075] The Messiah ['Îsâ (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother [Maryam (Mary)] was a Siddîqah [i.e. she believed in the Words of God and His Books (see Verse 66:12)]. They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while God does not eat). Look how We make the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to them; yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[004:171] O people of the Scripture (Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of God aught but the truth. The Messiah 'Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of God and His Word, ("Be!" – and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rûh) created by Him; so believe in God and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For God is (the only) One God), Glorified is He (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And God is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.

[004:172] The Messiah will never be proud to reject to be a slave of God, nor the angels who are the near (to God). And whosoever rejects His worship and is proud, then He will gather them all together to Himself.

[004:173] So, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of God – Islâmic Monotheism) and did deeds of righteousness, He will give them their (due) rewards – and more out of His bounty. But as for those who refused His worship and were proud, He will punish them with a painful torment. And they will not find for themselves besides God any protector or helper.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About Abraham and treating Prophets equally

[002.135] And they say, "Be Jews or Christians, then you will be guided." Say (to them O Muhammad [Peace Be Unto You]), "Nay, (we follow) only the religion of Ibrâhîm (Abraham), Hanîf [Islâmic Monotheism, i.e. to worship none but God (Alone)], and he was not of Al-Mushrikûn (those who worshipped others along with God – see V.2:105)."

[002.136] Say (O Muslims): "We believe in God and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrâhîm (Abraham), Ismâ'îl (Ishmael), Ishâq (Isaac), Ya'qûb (Jacob), and to Al-Asbât [the offspring of the twelve sons of Ya'qûb (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Mûsâ (Moses) and 'Isâ (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islâm)."

[002.137] So, if they believe in the like of that which you believe then they are rightly guided; but if they turn away, then they are only in opposition. So God will suffice for you against them. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some more truth about Jesus Son of Mary

[019:035] It befits not (the Majesty of) God that He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against God, by saying that 'Îsâ (Jesus) is the son of God]. Glorified (and Exalted) is He (above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it: "Be!" – and it is.

[019:036] ['Îsâ (Jesus) said:] "And verily, God is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is a Straight Path. (God's religion of Islâmic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets)." (Tafsir At-Tabarî)

[019:037] Then the sects differed [i.e. the Christians about 'Îsâ (Jesus) [Peace Be Upon Him], so woe to the disbelievers [those who gave false witness by saying that 'Îsâ (Jesus) is the son of God] from the Meeting of a great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire).

[019:038] How clearly will they (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of God) see and hear, the Day when they will appear before Us! But the Zalimûn (polytheists and wrong doers) today are in plain error.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proof of Authenticity and Challenge to those who disbelieve

[[010:036] And most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Certainly, conjecture can be of no avail against the truth. Surely, God is All-Knower of what they do.

[010:037] And this Qur'ân is not such as could ever be produced by other than God (Lord of the heavens and the earth), but it is a confirmation of (the Revelation) which was before it [i.e. the Taurât (Torah), and the Injîl (Gospel)], and a full explanation of the Book (i.e. the laws decreed for mankind) – wherein there is no doubt – from the Lord of the 'Âlamîn (mankind, jinn, and all that exists).

[010:038] Or do they say: "He (Muhammad [Peace Be Upon Him]) has forged it?" Say: "Bring then a Sûrah (chapter) like it, and call upon whomsoever you can besides God, if you are truthful!"

Verily the Day of Judgment is true, and God will judge us. So know I am innocent of the deeds that you do, while you are innocent of the deeds that I do.

May God Guide you to the Straight path.

Answer 2

You are mistaken, when you say that Jewish people believe that Moses is the Son Of God, just as the Christians believe that Jesus Is the Son Of God.

Although Moses is the Greatest of all the Jewish Prophets, neither he, nor any of the other Prophets are believed to be divine. In fact, the Jewish people do not even believe that when the Messiah does come, he will be the actual Son Of God, just as we Christians believe that He Is the Son Of God.

The reason we Christians believe that the Lord Jesus Has so much more Value than Abraham, Moses, & any of the Prophets which came before Him, including St. John the Baptist, & is the Son Of God is because:

His Father **IS**God. Jesus Had no earthly, biological father(St. Joseph was His adopted father). His Mother Is the Virgin Mary.

Jesus pre-Existed His Conception in His Mother's Womb(the Gospel according to St. John).

God the Father Raised Jesus up from the Dead, on the Third Day after His Passion & Death on the Cross.

All the Prophets, from Moses all the way up to St. John the Baptist, prophesiesed Jesus, as the Coming Messiah.

And finally, the Messiah is the Greatest of all God's Prophets, because the Messiah Is God In the Flesh.

There is Only One God, & He Is Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.

Answer 3

Jesus matched all of the prophesies of the Messiah that had been foretold. It is believed that Moses was a cousin of Jesus. He baptized Jesus and saw the spirit of GOD arise from Jesus. I do not believe that Abraham was said to have Preached about the coming Messiah. Abraham was faithful and was told by GOD that his children would number as the stars. GOD certainly did just that in our SAVIOR! We are all Children of GOD and Abraham by linage when we become Christians. Our GOD is an awesome GOD!! Have a great day!

Answer 4

The thing is, there is a difference between the sons of God and the Son of God. I know you don't like 'only begotten', but it IS written in The Book. So are many assertions that Isa is indeed God made flesh. He Himself said several times 'I AM', in conscious parallel to God's self-identification to Moses.

Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, I AM: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. :63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? :64 Ye have heard the blasphemy:...

John 8:19 Then they said unto Him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. 20 These words spake Jesus in the treasurey, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

John 8:24, ""Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins."

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.

Jesus rewards those who worship Him:
Mat 8:2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshiped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
Mat 8:3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

And the Bible is NOT corrupted. We now HAVE ancient texts that prove that it has not been changed over the years. And don't bother lying about the Koran being unchanged. Why do you suppose there are Shia and Sunni?
BTW, if Isa was a prophet, he was a terrible one! No mere man can forgive sins, or accept worship. If he did those things as a man, he DESERVED to be crucified!

Answer 5

Because Jesus is God in the flesh, King of Kings, Lord of Lords and much more than any other prophet. Not PBUH, but Prince of Peace is also one of his titles..

Answer 6

Jesus Christ was the only prophet that was chosen by God to lay down his life for EVERYONE. All of the other prophets are special as well and teach us great things, but Jesus Christ came to earth for the remission of our sins. He was the only one that could do that for us. And through him only we are saved IF WE STRIVE TO BE LIKE HIM. He was the only perfect human being. He showed us the way to salvation. I suggest that you find the book called TRUE TO THE FAITH. Ask any mormon you know and they'll gladly get it for you. It answers your question and many others using both Bible and Book of Mormon. It's a small book that's more like a question dictionary. :)

Answer 7

I do not think the Jewish believe that Moses was the son of God. They do not believe that the son of God has come yet. As a Christian I do not think of Jesus as a prophet. I think of him as God himself in the flesh..you no...father, son and the Holy Spirit....yeah....so i hope that sor of answers ur question....

Answer 8

Assalamu Alaykum
This is just my guess, but...
Allah hadn't sent a Prophet (whom He promised) for ages. Then He sent Jesus. So naturally, not having seen a Prophet for hundreds of years, people saw Him as God. This spread even farther when Constantine of Rome pounced on the religion to keep himself in power/make himself look like the great Roman emperor for the growing Christian majority (which he thought would help him stay in power, I'm assuming).

Abraham preached that Allah had no son. Surah Al-Ikhlas (Surah 112) says "...He begets not nor was He begotten".

And brother/sister, ignore the ignorant responses from those such as exmuslima (who posted above). They're just trying to divert you from the Straight Path.

Answer 9

Because G-d ordained it to be so. That i slike asking why is G-d the Supreme Being? Because thst is the way it is.
What the real issue is my frined is that you are a muslim and you do not question your beliefs, only ours.
Thereason you believe the way ouy do is because you have accepted Muslim doctrine and that it is from G-d the Almighty.
But you have not cionsidered that you have two books against yours, that is 2 to 1. Two witnesses beat 1especiialy when although the two witneses disagree on things they still form one solid testiminoy against the one. There disagreement insures they are not conspiring .The Koran stands alone without any witness to back it up only Mohaamed himself who could perform no miracles and states things about the Torah and the Gospel which are inaccurate, and this ignorace of what went before is not from God who must know what went before.
Lastly my friend it is not enough , in order to try to help your Koran, to say that the other two witnesses have messed it up while your Koran is preserved from error by God. That is what any person in desperation would claim, it is no proof.
But I wish you peace and kindness from God and our Lord Jesus Christ who died to save you from your sins, and welcomes you to come to him to be clenased from it. Thanks for asking.

Psalm 2 excerpt verses 7-end prophesying about the Son.Which is a special honor and title given to Jesus bless his name.

7 I will tell of the decree. LORD said to me, Thou are my son, this day I have begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Now therefore be wise, O ye kings. Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

Answer 10

because both religions claim that those two prophets PBUH's are sons of god (naozobllah). poeople look at Mohammed (PBUH) in a bad light because of recent incedents with ISLAM!

Answer 11

Because Jesus died for our sins and purchased for us eternal life!

Because of His sacrifice we are able to enter into the presence of the Father , and Jesus is seated at the right hand of God....as recorded in Scripture.

" I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life; no man can come to the Father except through me". -- Jesus Christ (Jn. 14:6)

" Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved". (Acts 4:12)
