All muslims believe in Jesus

[ibrahimqais90]

Alsalam aleikum and hello everyone...

The belief in Jesus (and all other messengers of God) is required in Islam, and a requirement of being a Muslim. The Quran mentions Jesus by name twenty-five times...
and here are some verses about Maryam(Peace be upon her):

"And remember when the angels said, 'Oh Mary,ALLAH has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above all women of the time

'O Mary, be obedient to thy Lord and prostrate thyself and worship the one God with those who worship HIM.'



When the angels said, 'O Mary, ALLAH gives you glad tidings of a son through a word from HIM; his name shall be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, honoured in this world and in the next, and of those who are granted nearness to God;
'And he shall speak to the people in the cradle, and when of middle age, and he shall be of the righteous.



She said, 'My Lord, how shall I have a son, when no man has touched me? He said, 'Such is the way of ALLAH. HE creates what HE pleases. When HE decrees a thing HE says to it 'Be,' and it is;"—Qur'an, Surah 3:38-48

Thank you, although I think you'll find that most Christians with any education whatsoever - such as those on this site - are aware of Jesus' near-centrality in Islam.

Your use of the term "believe" is misleading. You don't "believe" in Jesus in the same way Christians "believe" in Jesus.

 

[ibrahimqais90]

Well,thank you for replying..and dear "SOJOURNER" my advice to you is to be alittle patient and know more about islam..at least just to be well informed about this religion

Jesus may be a general part of Islam, but just like when it comes to figures from the Hebrew Bible, Islam is hardly as elaborative about Jesus as Christianity is.
Many Muslims repeat the doctrine that Jesus is considered a prophet, but there is no Sermon on the Mount, hardly an equivalent to the narratives of the gospels or in depth familiarity with Jesus or his time.

That's true. While Muslims believe Jesus to be a prophet, there isn't much on Jesus in Islam, really.

There is no universal way to believe in Jesus. You seem to be speaking of the Trinity rather than Jesus, (correct me if I'm wrong), and its true that most Christian's accept the Nicene Creed although a large number do so without any actual knowledge of its meaning. Still, there are lots of Christians that don't believe in a Godhead and we prefer not to be lumped in with the others.

Exactly correct. The vast majority of Christians would not consider Christ to be a mere prophet, 2nd to Muhammad, in importance. Likewise, while the vast majority of Christians would have no problem with Jesus, the man, being #2 to the "heavenly father", they would take issue with Jesus be #2 to any other man. The idea is actually a bit insulting and some Christians may find it to be offensive.

 

[beenie]

While Muslims hold Jesus in a very high regard, not once, in any sermon that I've attended, have I heard the Imam instruct us to follow his teachings one iota. Whenever an example is given as to our behavior and/or manners, etc., ONLY Muhammad is mentioned.

Please don't insult Christians by claiming that Muslims believe in Jesus to the same extent (on anywhere near it), as Christians, and expect them to believe you.

Already done. I'm no stranger to Islamic philosophy.

Welcome to RF. I hope things are going well there. One of your former neighbors became my neighbor. (Although I never asked him what part of Iraq he was from)

I believe Muslims believe in a watered down Jesus as opposed to the real Jesus.

The information about Jesus in the Qu'ran is a minute portion of the information availabe in the Bible.

I believe this might be true in practice but the Qu'ran states that all the messengers are equal. I believe that comes from the fact that all messengers speak the word of God. However I believe that not all messages are equal and the message of Jesus is far superior to any other message.

I believe Jesus is a prophet but the merely is not in the Qu'ran but is a man made construct.

I've known this for a while. Even though I'm a Christian, it somewhat irks me when some people say that Muslims hate Jesus. I can see through that as being a certain type of agitprop, but there are many who swallow the lie.

I am reminded of the words of Jesus to Saul (Paul): Ac 26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goad.

However Saul was persecuting Christians. So the question is: Does a person really love Jesus when he persecutes Christians?

 

[F0uad]

We don't belief in Jesus(pbuh) the same way it wouldn't make no sense to do so it would be directly conflicting our religious ideas. Something to point out is that many Christians have different ideas about Jesus(pbuh) and so do the scriptures in the Bible itself.

But there are also many comparision it just depends on which verses you pick from the Bible regarding the Jesus(pbuh). The Quran and Bible cant be compared the Bible is more a Biography then a revelation itself (With all respect) in comparision with the Quran.

 

[seeking4truth]

" but there is no Sermon on the Mount, hardly an equivalent to the narratives of the gospels or in depth familiarity with Jesus or his time."

Is there a need for them? Those teachings are there for all to see. To Muslims Jesus was the Messiah, commenting on the Torah and correcting misunderstandings that had developed about the meaning of it. Jesus revealed teaching is called the Injil. The Holy Quran is the next revealed work after Jesus' Injil.(Gospel - but not 'the Gospels') The revelation to Jesus probably still exists but is muddled up with non-revealed work.
The Holy Quran exits to correct misunderstandings which had crept into the concepts and teachings of earlier prophets and the religions which sprang from them. Stories of the older prophets are there to teach what happened in the past and as a warning that it will happen again.
The beauty of Jesus teachings is that it brought back the spiritual into what had become ritualistic. The next Messiah will do the same.

 

[MacNamara]

Jesus' deity is more than what Muslims believe in Him.
He once spoke that: 'I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me, If ANOTHER comes in his own name, you will receive him. How can you BELIEVE when you receive glory from ONE another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?'

 

[seeking4truth]

Jesus never claimed deity, he claimed only to be a servant raised to the status of son because of his love for God and his obedience to Him.

"'I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me, If ANOTHER comes in his own name, you will receive him."

The Holy prophet Muhammad definately did not come in his own name. Like Jesus he came in the name of the father. Almost every part of the Holy Quran begins with the phrase "in the name of". His example is of a man who did not seek any glory from men but sought only to bring men into a relationship with God.
