Jesus Christ and Islam

 

I would like to apologise for those who misinterpreted my article and hope this will bring some light to what I believe in accordance to my belief.  Perhaps maybe I did not explain myself well.

 

 

So to answer the question when did I receive Christ? :-  I do not need to receive Christ as it is already in my belief. 

 

 

Though born in a Muslim family.  I grew up in a convent.  I knew of miracles of God and was taught since young but never did I observe nor practice the religion well.

 

It is only so late as in my late 20's that I REALISE the miracles of God or "Allah" (in our context) and Accepted him in my way of life. ..... Alhamdulilla.  Ameen.

 

 

Christian views of Jesus consist of the teachings and beliefs held by Christian groups about Jesus, including his divinity, humanity, and earthly life. Christians predominantly profess that Jesus is both a fully divine and fully human person, and thus Christian views of Jesus include theological doctrines as well as historical claims.

 

Information:  Jesus Christ and Islam.

These annotations don't attempt to characterise Islam as a whole. Various interpretations are also possible in the Koran, and there are also different theological schools within Islam. Certainly the Koran (Quran*) should be taken as the most important of the Islamic scriptures. There are also the traditions: "Sunnah" and Hadith". One should also consider that there are also just as many Muslims who are not well acquainted with their Holy Scriptures as there are Christians who don't know much about the Bible. 

The Koran addresses Christians and Jews sometimes directly as "You people of the scriptures..." (for instance sura 4:171 ) and as "You children of Israel". So they can be interested in what is written in this holy book - in spite of the fact that most of them usually will not deal with it. Religious science anyway studies the scriptures of all religions.

 

Jesus Christ
Here is noted, that the Koran accepts Jesus as a prophet sent by God and as "Word" of God without definition, "created like Adam" (suras 2, 3, 5 ...). This is more than what some modern Christian theologians accept, who only see Jesus as a social reformer! Only Jesus as God's Son - Christians in the time of Mohammed imagined this very physically - in the context of the later doctrine of the trinity, this was not accepted by the Koran. Christians, capable of explaining this authentically, in such a way that someone coming from elsewhere could understand it, were very rare at that time (e.g. sura 6, 101).

 

 Christians might agree with the Islamic conviction, that God is unborn and has not "born" but "created" Jesus. Further the Greek term "logos" - in the Bible used for the divine origin or mission of Jesus Christ - became translated in the Gospels as "The Word", which is used for Jesus in the Koran. Do the Inspirations of the Koran contain mysteries not yet discovered fully by Muslims or Christians - possibly resulting in useless quarreling about terms? Also where Christians present this teachings in words, which must be understood as some polytheistic religion, this is not according to the teachings of Jesus himself: "Pray to the father (God) in my name (meaning with reference to Jesus" (John. 15:16). I In the life of Jesus everything revolves about the one God, to whom just Jesus can lead people. 

 

The "Logos" (in John's Gospel the "Word of God", here connected with Christ) appears in the Koran independently of Jesus (sura 13,12, sura 11).

 

In the Koran Jesus is looked at as "created like Adam" (Sure 3, 59). The Koran speaks about a being sent from God's Spirit to give birth to Jesus, similar to the bible, reporting about the angel coming to the Virgin Mary (sura 19, 17). The Holy Spirit is also mentioned concerning the life of Jesus (sura 5, 110).

 

According to the Koran the young Jesus already announced his raising from the dead (sura 19, 33); however, here the Koran is possibly referring to the resurrection of the believers during the Day of Judgment often mentioned in the Koran (see below; Sure 4, 159). The Koran says that Jesus was taken up to God alive (sura 4, 157 - 159, sura 3, 55). 

Moslems and Christians disagree on the question, whether Jesus was crucified, died and overcame death before his ascension to heaven – as Christians say -, or if God has risen him alive into heaven - as Muslims believe. However, both believe, that he was not "dead" at that time when he was risen (the bible for instance states, he spoke to his disciples immediately before he went to heaven.)
In the suras 3:55 and 5:48 it is said, „...I will make him pure" and "...you all will come back to me, and I (God) will decide, what You were in disagreement about". So Christians and Moslems might wait for the solution of some remaining mysteries instead of quarreling.

 

The Koran also includes the Last Judgment and the Resurrection of Believers. (e.g. sura 36, 77, sura 69, 13, suras 75, 99). Those who believe in God and the Last Judgment, "and do what is right" (according to the commandments), do not have to fear the Judgment (sura 2, 62).
