Wow that's really good



Sure, lets see:



We don't believe that Allaah/God has children. Since there is none like Him, and He has no Partners. Since God doesn't have partners, He doesn't have children. I know you might say that it isn't 'literal' - but why say that God has children then?


Allaah says in His final revelation (translation of the meaning);

Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;

Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;

He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;

And there is none comparable unto Him.

[Qur'an Surah Ikhlaas (chapter of Sincerety - 112)

So Allaah is One, and the Only true God. He is Eternal and never dies, and we all depend upon Him. He doesn't beget (have children), and He wasn't born either. And there is none like Him.




So what is the Islamic stance on Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him)?


Allaah says in the Qur'an (translation of the meaning):

The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.

The Truth (comes) from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt.


[Qur'an 3: 60-1]

Jesus was born of a virgin birth, his mother gave birth to him even though she was a virgin. Now you may ask how this was, but this shows that Allaah is able to do all things.

You might ask though, how come he was born without a father, that must be really special. Without a doubt it is special, yet it still doesn't take Jesus (peace be upon him) to the level of Allaah, since Adam was also created without a mother or a father.


Jesus is the true Messiah/Christ, and he will return near the end times.


I've explained that in depth abit here;

We believe that the Gospel (Injeel) was revealed to Jesus (peace be upon him) from Allaah/God. Today this isn't existant, and we hear the Gospel of Mark, John, Matthew etc. but we never hear any mention of the Gospel of Jesus! Which then makes you question their claim.


However, there may be some parts of the teachings of Jesus still within some of the Christian texts. Yet we don't have any clear proof, the Christians can't even agree on a common copy among their different denominations. Allaah sent the final revelation to His final servant and Messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon him.) The Qur'an is the Criterion to distinguish between the truth and the falsehood, and it has been authentically preserved for us throughout the centuries.




Islaam means submission to God, anyone who submits to God is therefore a Muslim (one who submits to God.)


We as Muslims know that Abraham didn't call himself a Jew, nor did any of the other Prophets boast of being Jews. Rather, they were happy in serving God, they submitted to God in the way He wanted them to worship Him, therefore they were Muslims (ones who submit to God.)



Islaam was and has been the religion of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus son of Mary, Muhammad (peace be upon all the prophets of God.) Like stated before, all 124,000 Prophets of God. All calling to the worship of God Alone, in the way that He wanted to be worshipped.

Their social laws may have been slightly different, however, they all submitted to God in the way He wanted to be worshipped. The final Messenger of God/Allaah is Muhammad (peace be upon him) who is also a direct descendant of Prophet Abraham. And he came for all of humanity, and after him there will be no more Messengers. Rather, Allaah will preserve the message which was sent to Him till the end times.
