He was some white guy that was born in the middle east to an Arab mother that never had sex. He had magic powers and used them to help people out. He didnt like the Roman government and said that he was the king of all of his people. He was executed and rose into the sky. Now Mohamed and him are hanging out in heaven. Is this correct?

Answer 1

.In Islam, Jesus (`Isa in Arabic) is considered one of the greatest prophets sent by God to mankind. In the Qur'an, Jesus is referred to as `Isa ibn Maryam, or Jesus son of Mary. The story of Mary and Jesus is best described in the Qur'an primarily in the surahs of Aal `Imran and Maryam.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, is described in the Qur'an as being special. She is born into the pious household of Aal `Imran, and her childhood is marked by a unique piety that everyone around her could sense.

The uniqueness of Mary was spelled out to her by the angels:

*{Behold! The angels said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee and purified thee — chosen thee above the women of all nations. O Mary! Worship thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down."}* (Aal `Imran 3:42-43)



The Prophet Muhammad had also related in a hadith reported byAl- Bukhari that Mary was one of the best of the women Allah had created.

The Birth of Jesus

In relating the story of Jesus, the Qur'an describes how Mary, the mother of Jesus, was approached by an angel from God, bringing her tidings she had never imagined: that she would give birth to a son, a Messiah, who would be of the righteous and would be a prophet of God, calling the Children of Israel (the Israelites) to the straight path of God.

*{(And remember) when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word from him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto Allah). He will speak unto mankind in his cradle and in his manhood, and he is of the righteous.}* (Aal `Imran 3:45-46)

Naturally, for the chaste Mary, this news was both strange and seemingly impossible.

*{She said: My Lord! How can I have a child when no mortal hath touched me? He said: So (it will be). Allah createth what He will. If He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is. And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel.}* (Aal `Imran 3:47-48)

The very nature of Jesus's birth is so special that God compares the uniqueness of his creation to that of the first man and prophet, Adam.

*{Lo! The likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, then He said unto him: Be! and he is.}* (Aal `Imran 3:59)

However, we are told in the Qur'an of a miracle that Jesus performed when he was a baby.

When Mary carried the baby Jesus to her people, they questioned her; and as a baby in her arms, Jesus gave them the answer. The Qur'an describes this scene in detail:

*{He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live; (He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable; So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)!"}* (Maryam 19:26-33)

And so the baby Jesus defended his mother from any accusations of adultery, and in a nutshell, explained who he was and why he was sent by God.

Jesus and His Miracles

Jesus was sent to the Children of Israel in order to confirm the teachings of his predecessor, the Prophet Moses. Jesus's birth was a miracle, and, like all prophets of God, he was granted several miracles. He approached his people, telling them —

*{Lo! I come unto you with a sign from your Lord. Lo! I fashion for you out of clay the likeness of a bird, and I breathe into it and it is a bird, by Allah's leave. I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I raise the dead, by Allah's leave. And I announce unto you what ye eat and what ye store up in your houses. Lo! herein verily is a portent for you, if ye are to be believers.

And (I come) confirming that which was before me of the Torah, and to make lawful some of that which was forbidden unto you. I come unto you with a sign from your Lord, so keep your duty to Allah and obey me.

Lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.}* (Aal `Imran 3:49-51)

In another incident, after which an entire surah of the Qur'an is named, the disciples of Jesus asked him for another miracle.

*{Behold! the disciples, said: "O Jesus the son of Mary! can thy Lord send down to us a table set (with viands) from heaven?" Jesus said: "Fear Allah, if ye have faith."

They said: "We only wish to eat thereof and satisfy our hearts, and to know that thou hast indeed told us the truth; and that we ourselves may be witnesses to the miracle."

Jesus the son of Mary said: "O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us — for the first and the last of us — a solemn festival and a sign from Thee; and provide for our sustenance, for Thou art the best Sustainer (of our needs)."}* (Al-Ma'idah 5:112-114)

God sent them the table they had asked for, but not without a warning.

*{Allah said: "I will send it down unto you: But if any of you after that resisteth faith, I will punish him with a penalty such as I have not inflicted on any one among all the peoples."}* (Al-Ma'idah 5:115)

The End of the Story?

The story of Jesus never really ends in the Qur'an, as we are told that Jesus was not killed, but that rather, God raised His beloved prophet up to Him.

*{Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto Me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.}* (Aal `Imran 3:53)

The Qur'an also points out that Jesus was neither killed nor crucified. Speaking of the Children of Israel, Allah faults their accusations against Mary as well as their claim that they killed Jesus.

*{That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge;

And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger — they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! Those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.

Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.}* (An-Nisaa' 4:156-158)

The Qur'an confirms that Jesus was raised up by God, and the Prophet Muhammad reassured us that Jesus will be sent down to earth once again before the Day of Judgment in order to re-establish justice and the proper worship of the one Creator.

Answer 2

i'm an atheist, and that i do no longer purchase into the completed "Jesus became copied from Horus" concept. an in intensity examining of both their memories in reality pops up similarities in case you %. the few issues that tournament even as ignoring the vast majority of the stuff that would not. besides the undeniable fact that, early Christianity became heavily inspired by technique of truly some the interior sight Roman religions of the time, jointly with Mithraism (they even shared temples at one time!) and the Cult of Sol (the holiday of Sol Invictus is why Christmas is widely known Dec twenty fifth). If something, this only speaks to the lengths that Christian missionaries have lengthy gone to make the religion more suitable palatable to new converts. many years in the past I visited between the very earliest Catholic church homes in Mexico (wish i could discover some %.). The imagery on the exterior of it became startling; it became so heavily mixed with the interior sight interior sight religions that it rather a lot did not look Christian in any respect, except for the flow on the genuine and the final structure of the construction.

Answer 3

no dear, He did not have "magic powers" and He did not come complaining about the Roman government. He was not "executed" (no one took His life, He gave it) and He did not just "rise into the sky" and Mohamed is not in heaven. I'm afraid you have quite a bit of the story wrong.

Answer 4

Only part correct. Jesus is God. God came to the earth as a man. He lived, suffered and died then rose again. He is a Jew.

The purpose of his life was to teach people how to live and love, and to become the blood sacrifice for their sins. As a man, He was not concerned with Roman government. Jesus came to the earth to willingly die for us. He now lives in Heaven with God. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Mohamed is not there.

Acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, is the only way to Heaven. No other, only Jesus.

Answer 5

It's unlikely that Jesus was entirely caucasian based on his location of birth. His mother and father were Jewish as was he and I'm not sure you can use the phrase "accended into heaven" to mean that he literally floated up in the air.

Answer 6

No, this is not correct. Read your Bible. What do mean by "white guy"? Would Arabs consider themselves white? Mary was not Arab, though she was Semitic. Jesus was resurrected and ascended to heaven - not muhammad.

Answer 7

My question to you is how can a middle eastern female give birth to a white guy? and secondly no this is not the story of Jesus...

Answer 8

Probably the Discovery Channel 's version

Answer 9

It is not only INcorrect, it is disrespectful.
Disagreeing is one thing. That is your option.
Disrespect does not have to accompany your disapproval.
