In my opinion, The Muslim Jesus movie (The Muslim Jesus videos) should be watched to understand both Islamic and Christian points of view.

The lost gospels movie (The lost gospels BBC documentary movie) will reflect some other points.

P.S. I like documentary movies, easier than reading.

Jesus was a Prophet of Allah who acknowledged that after him would come the True Messenger of Allah - Prophet Mohammad (SWT) and for this he is given a very special place in the world of Islam I feel/believe. To elevate him to anything beyond this is a little in-appropriate I reckon

good question from brother who posted this thread,

We Muslims believe in Jesus (PBUH) as our Lord told us in the Holy Quran.

Jesus (PBUH)

Say ye: "We believe in God, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them:[002:136]

Bible

It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment be tween right and wrong).[003:003]

Jesus (PBUH) said:

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever." John 14:16

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you". John 16:17

So Jesus said whenever i depart i will send him to you, he will not come untill i leave.

In fact when Jesus left Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) came which is prophesied by Jesus (PBUH).

Jesus (PBUH) said:

Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26:

"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me."

Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14:

"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me".

Mohammad (PBUH) is the only one after Jesus who Testifies and Glorifies Jesus (PBUH) as exactly as Jesus (PBUH) predicted.

Jesus said. He shall glorify me", He shall Testify me".

How will you recognize the coming prophet?

21 You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?"

22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.

Now visit this site if Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is really the true prophet of God or not.

And by this you just contradict the verses in the bible that says there is nothing like him on earth or heaveb or even underwater, in other words there is nothing like HIM that we know!

But you simply say he is man!

And if you will say that God can do whatever HE wants, then this means that God you talk about cannot keep His words!

So what do you say about this contradicting situation!?

All what I can say is to remember this verse from Quran:

May Allah (swt) guide us all!

Peace

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Peace and Salutations be upon His Prophet and Servant Muhammad

Viewing this thread I cannot help but be a bit disapointed, it seems like alot of us jumped the gun and started aswering x y and z when the question was regarding w.

It's a common occurrence and I hope all of us Muslims learn to be patient and attentive to questioners and questions.

to all

in response to the original question I would say that I consider Jesus (pbuh) to be a Prophet who did many good things.

That is both correct and incorrect. Judaism is never mentioned because that was THE monotheistic faith in question. Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism because as Christians we believe that Christ as God incarnate, as the Messiah, created a new covenant which traditional Judaism did not accept. Islam, meaning the faith of Islam as we know it, developed after Judaism and Christianity went in seperate directions. I understand the concept of "Islam" meaning the worship of the One God, but Islam is also a distinct faith institution, or religion.

With the name of ALLAH (God Almighty) -The Bestower Of Unlimited Mercy, The Continously Merciful


Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh





(May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you)



did you read Quran ? What Quran also hadith ( saying of Prophet Muhammed -pbuh ) taught us about Jesus (pbuh) , we believe . In short , he is a blessed Prophet of God Almighty.




Jesus (p) got the revelation from God . The holy book is called Injeel/ Bible. Later it was changed / altered .

Quran is the final holy book. God promised to save this book from corruption.

and Greetings,

Please note that this section is not for discussion or debate, rather it is for basic articles explaining Islamic concepts to Non-Muslims, as well as for people to ask questions on the fundamentals of Islam, as mentioned in this thread:

http://www.islamicboard.com/discover...ead-first.html (Discover Islam section - READ THIS FIRST!)

As far as I understand this thread, it is about the Muslim view of Jesus and the Bible, not a debate regarding Jesus' status in the Bible. Please direct such discussions to the Comparative Religion forum, where I am sure there already exist many similar topics.

I think sufficient responses have been given to the original post, hence this thread can be closed.
