"Careful, Boss is here!"



Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him). They consider him one of the greatest of God's messengers to mankind. The Quran confirms his virgin birth, and a chapter of the
Quran is entitled 'Maryam' (Mary).

The Quran describes the birth of Jesus as follows:
(Remember) when the angels said, "O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (to God). He will speak to the people from his cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous." She said, "My Lord, how can I have a child when no mortal has touched me?" He said, "So (it will be). God creates what He wills. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only, 'Be!' and it is." (Quran, 3:45-47)



Jesus was born miraculously by the command of God which had brought Adam into being without a father. God has said: The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said to him, "Be!" and he came into being. (Quran, 3:59)


During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. God tells us that Jesus said: "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God's permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to life by God's permission. And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses...." (Quran, 3:49)



Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified. It was the plan of Jesus' enemies to crucify him, but God saved him and raised him up to Him. And the likeness of Jesus was put over another man. Jesus' enemies took this man and crucified him, thinking that he was Jesus. God has said: ...They said, "We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God." They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)... (Quran, 4:157)



Neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one God, brought by earlier prophets, but rather to confirm and renew it.



Footnotes:

Muslims also believe that God revealed a holy book to Jesus called the Injeel, some parts of which may be still available in the teachings of God to Jesus in the New Testament. But this does not mean that Muslims believe in the Bible we have today because it is not the original scriptures that were revealed by God. They underwent alterations, additions, and omissions. This was also said by the Committee charged with revising The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version).

This Committee consisted of thirty-two scholars who served as members of the Committee. They secured the review and counsel of an Advisory Board of fifty representatives of the co-operating denominations. The Committee said in the Preface to The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version), p. iv, "Sometimes it is evident that the text has suffered in transmission, but none of the versions provides a satisfactory restoration.

Here we can only follow the best judgment of competent scholars as to the most probable reconstruction of the original text." The Committee also said in the Preface, p. vii, "Notes are added which indicate significant variations, additions, or omissions in the ancient authorities (Mt 9.34; Mk 3.16; 7.4; Lk 24.32, 51, etc.)."

Good post Boss, and just to add as clearly stated in the holy Quran (the truth) that the creation of Jesus PBUH is same as the creation of Adam PBUH.

You are right my freind.
Thanx

As non-Muslims believe the Qur'an to be a collection of quasi-poetic tracts composed by Arab scribes over a period of c. 150 years and including misinterpretations, misconceptions and misunderstandings of Christianity and Judaism as well as much heretical nonsense prevalent in certain quarters of Arabia in the 7th and 8th Centuries, it serves no useful purpose quoting Muslim beliefs or conceptions of The Bible, its contents or its followers.

Wherever a contradiction arises between

i. Christianity and Islam

or

ii. Judaism and Islam

the final arbiter cannot be any other than

i. A Christian scholar

ii. A Jewish scholar

To be completely neutral and impartial and with the greatest respect, no Muslim would expect a Christian or Jewish scholar to pronounce on Islam.

the final arbiter cannot be any other than
i. A Christian scholar

ii. A Jewish scholar

This is the most stupid post I have ever read!

Allah is the one who sends messengers to teach people. All religions are his but only if properly followed. Judaism then christianity and finally Islam. Islam is the final word to people wehether or not you accept it. You gotta read well about Islam. I f you don't accept it, just go and worship any (cross like) object e.g. wood, metal, stone. and the like and be ready for the Hell. That's all my friend.

Hh. And are their really chr. and Jew. scholars.?!!

Following a book that was changed a thousand times. What a brain you have got. Good. Good. That's all what you can knwo about religion. You just (compose) a book, and then it's a holy book.

VARIATIONS , ADDITIONS, OR OMMISIONS.

That may be what you believe. Your belief is not shared by either Christians or Jews.

That is precisely what non-Muslims believe about the Qur'an.

As Christianity and Judaism pre-date Islam, which neither recognises nor with which either claims the slightest affinity, the final arbiter in all matters Christian is the head of the Christian church and the final arbiter in all matters Jewish is the Chief Rabbi.

If you want to borrow bits of other religions, then at least try and borrow them correctly.

And at least ask for permission before you steal bits of other peoples religions.

The owner of all religions is Allah and human just practicing and following them. The problem is when people abuse Allah books and practise the 3 S (VARIATIONS , ADDITIONS, OR OMMISIONS).

VARIATIONS , ADDITIONS, OR OMMISIONS.

VARIATIONS , ADDITIONS, OR OMMISIONS.

How dare you christians, how dare you do all that t a holy book given by your creator?!!!!

Word. Boss just got owned, just like every other who tried to bash Christianity and Judaism on this forum. As for variations--like I have said, and confirmed here by Shakoosh--who has likewise seen the light and repudates Islam's "truths"--the Qur'an is but a revision, variation and ommission of both the Torah and the Bible. So who created the abuse? I'm willing to bet it's the religion that came after Judasm and Christianity.

Good post Boss! Jesus (PBUH) is one of our prophets, a messenger of Allah, But not his child. We respect him and he is described in holy Quran for our concern.

I wouldn't say they were created exactly the same. As the aya says it just means that they both had no father (doesn't mean that God is their father though).

Adam was created from clay (mud? whatever you get what I mean) into a whole person while Jesus's spirit was placed into his mother Mariam's womb.

Islam is the final word to people

Final but not only ;)
