Question for Muslims

[joshua72]

Mash aAllah Josh, so in such case a question emerges here, now at this point how do u see Jesus, provided the Quran say he is not but a Messenger and Prophet and that Allah Never took sons neither that Jesus is Allah????Insh a Allah as soon as this point is clear with u, we shall continue, if u need Quran Ayahs let me know.... :smilingfl

salam alaikum,

I don't believe Jesus is Allah - but I do believe there is something special about Jesus.

God would not have created Jesus from a virgin just because. He could have easily allowed Peter, or anyone for that matter, impregnate Mary and then allow that child to be a messenger/prophet.

There must be a very good reason God chose to have Jesus born the way he was...Jesus was born in a way no man ever was - God wouldn't do that just for fun.

I really understand the Muslim view on Jesus - I know Muslims believe Jesus was only a man just like any other man, and that he was a prophet and messenger no different than any other, and that he was not crucified and resurrected.

But I still struggle with the idea that Muslims put soo much on Muhammed (pbuh) - the Quran talks about Muhammed as much as it talks about God. It says to obey Muhammed. There is so much emphasis put on Muhammed by the Quran that I just do not understand why equal emphasis is not put on any other messenger, especialy Jesus.

I understand that Muhammed was the last messenger of God, sent to give the final word - but just because he was the last does not mean he is any more important than any of the others.

I know you have given me info on this before, and I appreciate it and thank your for that.

It just seems like Islam overlooks all other prophets and sees Muhammed as a prophet above all others. The Quran says that Allah has no associate and is only by Himself; yet how often is Allah mentioned without mentioning Muhammed? Not very often. If only Allah alone is to judge and offer reward and punishment for our deeds, why must we obey Muhammed also - wouldnt it be more true to the word of Allah to only obey Allah and no other - not even Muhammed??

The Quran fascinates me in its consistency and lack of contradicting itself - where as the Bible seems to have many flaws. This is the one and only issue I noticed with the Quran. It says to worship Allah only...that only Allah has power to reward and punish, and that Allah has no associate - yet Muhammed is constantly associated with Allah.

Muslims disagree with the way Christians emphasise Jesus and associate Jesus with salvation, yet it is in no way different than what the Muslims seem to be doing with Muhammed.

It seems to me that Muhammed is to Islam what Jesus is to christianity.

Please forgive me if this comes off as argument - that is not the case.

I have nothing but the very most respect and appreciation for all that have been helping me learn about Islam. I am really glad I have found so many friends here that are willing to help me find the way. Before I knew much of Islam, I have asked God many times before to please help me get to the right path - and I believe that my interest in Islam is God's way of guiding me to the right path. Had I never bought the Quran and read it every night, I would never had these questions and the desire to learn more. I really feel that God has willed me to be among the righteous, and he has presented me with the Quran and so many friends to help me get there. Ever since I began reading the Quran and thinking about God every second of my day, I have noticed alot of positive changes happening. I am forever thankful to God for showing me the way, and I am also very thankful of all the Muslim friends helping me along. Thank you all VERY much!!
