Recommended: Islam contrasts with Christianity

Islam is the only non-Christian faith that recognizes Jesus. Yet, Islam denies Jesus’ divinity, crucifixion and resurrection. Islam beliefs respect and reverse Jesus. Jesus is considered one of the greatest of God’s messengers to mankind. Jesus is considered a Prophet, and Envoy of God of surpassing greatness, but only a man and nothing more. According to the Muslim, Jesus was a performer of exceptional miracles. Jesus was rescued by God from an untimely end, was raised up to heaven and will come back to earth again to die a Muslim. Jesus is not the Savior of the World, according to the Muslim, and is certainly not God, or the “Son of God’.

The disciples, said: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Can thy Lord send down to us a table set (with viands) from heaven?" Said Jesus: "Fear Allah, if ye have faith."

5:114 Said Jesus the son of Mary: "O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us-for the first and the last of us-a solemn festival and a sign from thee; and provide for our sustenance, for thou art the best Sustainer (of our needs)."

5:116 Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah '?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! Never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart . . ."

6:85 And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias: all in the ranks of the righteous.

19:34 Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. 43:57 When (Jesus) the son of Mary is held up as an example, behold, thy people raise a clamour thereat (in ridicule)!

43:61 And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye me: this is a Straight …show more content…

57:27 We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy . . .

61:6 And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, " this is evident sorcery!"

61:14 O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: As said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples, "We are Allah 's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed.

The three main differences between Islam & Christianity:
1. Christians believe in the Trinity, meaning that God has three forms (Father, Son, Holy Ghost/ Spirit).
While in Islam:
(A) The Trinity is rejected. Jesus is not God, nor Son of God (in the literal sense). Jesus is considered a human prophet and not

    In 610 CE, Muhammad, a merchant trader from Mecca (Mecca is also a site of a yearly pilgrimage where Muslims come to perform a rituals at the sacred Ka’ba a.k.a. the holy shrine of Mecca), made one of his frequent visits to a cave by Mount Hira. On his way to the cave, he decided to pray because of all the different causes that made him feel like he was losing his way. During this visit to Mount Hira, the Archangel Gabriel squeezed Muhammad hard forcing the words “Allah is one God” continuously coming out of his mouth. After having these words come out of his mouth for about two years, Muhammad decided that it was the time to encourage others to quote

    A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic-on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. (Lewis

  • The Doctrine of the Trinity

    Three equals one. Out of all of the statements made by the Christian faith, perhaps none is more confusing. The Doctrine of the Trinity has been questioned for decades and many Christians do not even understand it. Colin E. Gunton argues that this does not have to be so. Instead, he calls the Western Church to learn from Eastern Orthodoxy and allow Trinitarian thinking to permeate every aspect of the church. It is when the Western Church embarrasses “The Forgotten Trinity” (the name of the chapter) in thinking and in worship, that we not only learn the nature of God, but how we should live in light of it.

    Krostenberger and Swain (2008) from the patristic period until today, John's Gospel has served as a major source of the church's knowledge, doctrine and worship of the triune God. Among all New Testament documents the Fourth Gospel provides not only the most raw material for the doctrine of the Trinity, but also the most highly developed patterns of reflection on this material—particularly patterns that seek to account in some way for the distinct personhood and divinity of Father, Son and Spirit without compromising the unity of God. While there have been recent, fine studies on aspects of John's doctrine of God, it is surprising that none summarises and synthesises what John has to say about God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In order to fill this

The disciples are not foolish to suggest that this is Christ’s inference in the promise of the Holy Spirit, rather revealing themselves to be perceptive students of the Scriptures. However...

  • Comparing Muhammad and Jesus

    1037 Words  | 3 Pages

    Author, William E. Phipps, made an excellent comparison between Muhammad and Jesus in this book and gives the readers an insight into the background of Muslim and Christian religions. Phipps made it very obvious that these two men were dynamic spiritual leaders of the world’s two of the most influential religions. Although they were separated by more than six centuries, they led extraordinarily similar lives. He believed both Jesus and Muhammad represented the same God, taught about God’s love for mankind, and claimed that their way was the truth. Their lives have impacted millions of people into believing in one true God. They had humble beginnings, provided new teachings, introduced revolutionary new paths for their followers, and they had an enormous impact on the way people view spirituality. They never wrote a book; however, their followers recorded the eyewitness accounts of Jesus’ life and words in the New Testament, and detailed account of Muhammad’s revelations from God in Quran. Muhammad was able to unite different groups of Arabs under Islam, while Jesus brought reconciliation between God and mankind.

  • Islam: John's Influence On The People Of Jerusalem

    Muslims understand authority as it was expressed by Allah to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. Because of his paramount role in transferring the word of Allah to his people, it is apparent that Muhammad is the source of authority for Islam. Christians understand authority from the “inspirations” God bestowed upon John the Baptist. I argue that the foundation of Christianity was built on the timing of John’s gospel about Jesus and his influence on the people of Jerusalem.
