Jesus In Islam

[Muslimah]

<b>Bismillah
</b>


Praise be to Allah and prayer and peace be upon His Messenger Mohamed, his household and companions.


" [Musa (Moses)] said: "O my Lord! Open for me my chest (grant me self-confidence, contentment, and boldness)* And ease my task for me*And make loose the knot (the defect) from my tongue* That they understand my speech" (Quran 20:25-28)


as salam alykom brothers and sisters


Peace to u ronniv


Insh a Allah I will try and respond to your original post.


1. We dont arrogantly say we respect Eassa peace and prayer be upon him more than Christians do. We just say we respect him much as a Prophet and Messenger enjoying a unique position in the eyes of Allah, enjoying many advantages that Allah Granted him such as healing the leprosy, reviving the dead with the Will of Allah... and more. The most important for example is that he spoke in the cradle to prove his mother's innocense from committing zina (sex outside the wedlock). When he spoke he said I am the servant of Allah. Now all these traits deserves much respect from us to him being a prophet. Mind u I think on another thread someone esle told u we are commanded by Quran to respect and rever all Prophets and Messengers without differentiation.


"The Messenger (Muhammad ﻢﻠﺳﻭ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﻪﻠﻟﺍ ﻰﻠﺻ) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, <b>and His Messengers. They say, "We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers</b>" (Quran 2:285)


Mind u the Messengers here include from Adam down to Mohamed peace and prayers upon all of them.


There are many other Ayahs in Quran that teach us the same, I just dont want to insert many Quran for u.


2. As for why we dont follow Eassa's teachings, because we follow Allah's Teachings brought in Quran which supercedes over all other books:


"<b>And when there came to them (the Jews), a Book (this Qur'an) from Allah confirming what is with them [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], although aforetime they had invoked Allah (for coming of Muhammad ﻢﻠﺳﻭ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﻪﻠﻟﺍ ﻰﻠﺻ) in order to gain victory over those who disbelieved, then when there came to them that which they had recognised, they disbelieved in it. So let the Curse of Allah be on the disbelievers.
</b>" (Quran 2:89)


"<b>And when it is said to them (the Jews), "Believe in what Allah has sent down," they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us." And they disbelieve in that which came after it, while it is the truth confirming what is with them. Say (O Muhammad ﻢﻠﺳﻭ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﻪﻠﻟﺍ ﻰﻠﺻ to them): "Why then have you killed the Prophets of Allah aforetime, if you indeed have been believers
</b>?"


(Quran 2:90)


Thus Jews and Christians were commanded to believe in Quran, why would we dont?


"And when there came to them a Messenger from Allah (i.e. Muhammad ﻢﻠﺳﻭ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﻪﻠﻟﺍ ﻰﻠﺻ) confirming what was with them, a party of those who were given the Scripture threw away the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know!" (Quran 2:101)


Again looking at all the above mentioned noble Ayahs of Quran, u will easily find out why we dont follow Eassa's teachings.


3. What is more important ronniv is that Eassa himself was nothing but a Muslim.


We already put this info on another thead but no harm.


Allah Never Sent any Prophet or Messenger to call for anyother religion but Islam and Allah The One Deity.


Again given the above mentioned, we say salam alykom, bow while praying, and do whatever was instructed to us by Quran and Sunnah (acts of the Messenger salla Allah alyhee wa sallam) whom we are commanded to learn from per the Ayah:


"And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad ﻢﻠﺳﻭ ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﻪﻠﻟﺍ ﻰﻠﺻ) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it), and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Severe in punishment" (Quran 59:7)


Again there are many other verses with the same meaning just dont want to give u much Quran.


Brothers and sisters. ronniv is asking important questions, whether or not she wants to learn is not our concern. But she did come to a Muslim board to ask other wise how can she get access to such info. If we dont provide correct info she might go and get distorted info. We just need to re articulate our aim here from defending Islam into teaching Islam.
