Who Was Jesus (as)?

[laian]

Salam all,


Maybe this point has been clarified before, but I just wanted to respond to ronniv's objection to muslims claiming that all prophets were muslim.


The words "muslim" and "islam" are arabic words, so of course these words would not have been used among the jews or christians who did not speak arabic. the word islam simply means, as I'm sure you know, "submission to God." and the word "muslim" simply means "one who submits his will to God."


So, during Moses' (as) time, the jews were "muslim" in the fact that they submitted to God's will by following Moses (as). They were called jews, not muslims, but the fact remains that they submitted to God's will.


Same for christians.


Don't know if that helps or not. Allahu alim.


salam
