jesus in islam

[zianizinou]

Islam respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him) and muslims respect and venerate Jesus Christ more of christians themselves and they consider him to be one of God’s greatest messengers to humankind. and his mother Mary is regarded as one of the most pure and exalted women of all creation, Three chapters of the Quran feature the life of Jesus, his mother Mary and their family,there is a chapter in the Quran named Mary and she is mentioned 34 times in the Quran, She is honored greatly in Islam,each reveals details not found in the Bible.
the Christian does not know that In the Holy Quran Jesus (pbuh) is mentioned by name five times more than the number of times the prophet of Islam is mentioned in the Book of God.
in islame one cannot be a Muslim without believing in Jesus.
alot of muslims are calling their sons jesus (issa) because they respect and love and venerate Jesus Christ,but what i don't understand why Christians don't call their sons (issa) although they consider him as son of god????

It is sad that many Christians do not know that Jesus, peace be upon him, holds a very high position within Islam.

Hi zianizinou —

Islam respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him) and muslims respect and venerate Jesus Christ more of christians themselves and they consider him to be one of God’s greatest messengers to humankind.

Hmmm ... I would take issue with that. You may speak for some Christians, but not all. As in everything, it's the rotten apples that get noticed.

And, of course, we think of Him as our Saviour, thus more than a messenger.

... and his mother Mary is regarded as one of the most pure and exalted women of all creation, Three chapters of the Quran feature the life of Jesus, his mother Mary and their family, there is a chapter in the Quran named Mary and she is mentioned 34 times in the Quran, She is honored greatly in Islam, each reveals details not found in the Bible.

In the Christian Tradition we also exalt Mary. Catholics in fact get accused of deifying her regularly. We do refer to her as coredemptrix, although this is unfortunate as the ill-informed assumes this puts her in an equal position with Jesus — it doesn't.

Mary, like us, was human, and was saved by her Son, as we all are.

... but what i don't understand why Christians don't call their sons (issa) although they consider him as son of god????

It's a curiosity. I would say in most European cultures we venerate the name too highly. The Spanish and Portuguese do name their sons Jesus, though. And last year I found out that I have a relative, someone (now departed) in my great-grandfather's household, who's name was Issa!

It is sad that many Christians do not know that Jesus, peace be upon him, holds a very high position within Islam.

But not as high as in Christianity ... there's the rub.

And welcome to the forums.

Peace,

The quran instructs us to believe in all of Gods messengers and not make any distinction among them. 'greatest' 'most beloved' etc is making a distinction, as the quran mentions, they are but honoured servants

It is true that many Christians are not aware of Jesus' pbuh position in Islam. However, I find it funny how Muslims and Christians always argue about who loves/respects Jesus pbuh more. It is an argument that cannot be won because both sides have a different understanding of love and respect for Jesus pbuh. Muslims love him as the one and only Messiah, as the great and most important Messenger of God, who was born under special circumstances and whose role is of greatest importance for all three Abrahamic faiths. Christians on the other hand love him as God, and if one takes that into consideration is it really fair to say that Christians do not love/respect him as much as Muslims do? Can anyone love someone more than they love God, regardless of the persons' understanding of who/what God might be like? This is why I think that us Muslims must be careful in the way we express our beliefs because I imagine that it would be very offensive to Christians to hear that someone loves their God more than they do (considering that Jesus for them is divine).

Lately I have experienced online, never in person, Christians so called, who to me are no more than disciples of Paul to me unless they are of the growing amount of Christians who happen to realize that the Bible actually says in myriad ways that he is not only not an Apostle but a false prophet, THE false prophet predicted in Mt.24 so accurately, the most heinous attacks on the character of Mohammed PBUH and Islam. "Drink Camel piss" "Mohammed was a pedophile, etc.

Which is hypocritical because Joseph was told by Gabriel that after Issa PBUH was born he could lie with Miriam PBUH and they had sons and daughters who were Issa's PBUH brothers and sisters.

And Mary was, according to Apocrypha accounts which are used to determine how Peter and Paul supposedly died and can be used to determine how old Miriam PBUH was when Joseph married her, about 12.

Mohammed was not a pedophile for myriad reasons, some have provided very accurate ways of determine Aisha's age at consummation was as old as 19, despite the infamous Hadiths often cited to "prove" whatever Christianity wants to not realizing they are 300 years removed from Mohammed PBUH and disputable. But it's also in Hadiths the evidence I spoke of which one could use to determine how old Aisha was at consummation, 13-19 is probably more accurate. It's complicated but true.

Mohammed PBUH had a wife 15 years his senior and Aisha was his wife in her adulthood and many Patriarchs sought "young virgin brides" including David and Abraham was definitely much older than Haggar.

The point is Christians have so little respect for our religion that it doesn't matter how much we honor Jesus PBUH and Mary or that we worship the same God who they LOVE to lie about being a "moon god" which was actually Nebo, if I am not mistaken and the moon god propaganda has been sufficiently disproven.

Where the Qur'an allows for Jews, Xtians and Sabians, possibly even Parsees because Zoroaster is a recognized Prophet PBUH in Islam, to share Paradise we don't get the same from them, it's either your with Christianity (Paulianity) or against them and deserve to go to hell.

Catholics are different. Vatican ll has changed the doctrine of a Christian only Heaven officially which is great.

Protestants on the other hand continue to say whatever they want and get away with the most outrageous lies.

In fact, Christianity-Paul=Islam, fact, it IS the closest thing to Nazarene Judaism on earth today, the faith of James and Jesus. Or Ebionites, take your pick.

Perhaps one thread is enough to vent your views? 52 posts in two days is a bit on the high side.
And while I have you, I know you consider your own words as facts but I hope you understand that few others here agree with you? Further, your attitude towards those who think differently than you in general and Christians in particular makes other posters less likely to engage with you, which I consider the key point of interfaith.
