Salam
Thank u so much Shamms for clarifying this point. This is a deteminant point in Islamic teachings.
Jesus is a miracle on the whole, starting from the day he was born to a virgin woman who was called in Quran the purest woman on earth. She was so much honored and respected in Quran through a whole chapter on her name. Till the day of his departure. Allah Never Allowed the Jews to even put him on the cross. No for Allah Defends His Messengers so well and Protects them in a way that amazes everyone. Abandoning him to be crucified and die on the cross is demeaning to Allah as a Creator. Like Allah Cannt Protect, let us assume the only son, from his enemies.
Any way, Jesus was never crucified but raised to Allah alive. He is to return to earth when the Day After approaches and this will be one of the major signs of the Day after.
Shamms u even confused me more, look at the underlined part of the verse, is he son of man, or son of god?? let me know pls.
Peace Muslimah......
Jesus Christ is the "son of man" because he was born of a woman, in a physical body. He is the "son of God" because it was the Holy Ghost that placed the baby in Mary's womb. Not through any sexual means. But like Umm stated before, by YHWH allowing it to be so, and it was. Because of these two actions, Christ is both son of man, and son of God. I hope you are no longer confused Muslimah.
Don, take a look at Faris' signature quote taken from the Qur'an 3:85:
"And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers."
To get the full message, you should read from verse 81 to verse 91. That makes it clear that "people of the Book" won't be accepted unless they turn to Islam. I'm sure if I'm wrong, someone will step in and correct me. But according to the above verse, I don't believe I am.
