Who Was Jesus (as)?

[umm Zachariah]

Assalamu aleikum,


Sister Laian you added more to this issue than 2 cents


Allah, SWT did send Prophets and Messengers during all this time to different nations so that they should be able to follow His will. Without them we could not have known how to do it. And Jesus, AS was sent to his people. And the others to theirs, just as you said.


On the other hand Muhammad, SAAWS was sent to the whole humankind for all times and places to come.


Just want to add one thing about eternal life. Islam teaches there will eternal life, without a HUMAN sacrifice.


This hadith from Bukhari, from 60 no 254, tells us this:


Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:


Allah's Apostle said, "On the Day of Resurrection Death will be brought forward in the shape of a black and white ram. Then a call maker will call, 'O people of Paradise!' Thereupon they will stretch their necks and look carefully. The caller will say, 'Do you know this?' They will say, 'Yes, this is Death.' By then all of them will have seen it. Then it will be announced again, 'O people of Hell !' They will stretch their necks and look carefully. The caller will say, 'Do you know this?' They will say, 'Yes, this is Death.' And by then all of them will have seen it. Then it (that ram) will be slaughtered and the caller will say, 'O people of Paradise! Eternity for you and NO DEATH O people of Hell! Eternity for you and NO DEATH."


Then the Prophet, recited:


'And warn them of the Day of distress when the case has been decided, while (now) they are in a state of carelessness (i.e. the people of the world) and they do not believe.' (19.39) The Qur'an.
