Quran & Jesus

Jesus - The Word of God


Quran says God (Allah) created everything with his 'Word'. When God (Allah) wanted to create something he could do so by just saying "Be" and it is created. The creation is described in Quran in several verses. "He (Allah) is the Creator of the heavens and the earth ! When He decrees a thing, He needs only to say, "Be," and there it becomes.[116"] AL-BAQARAH – THE COW 2:[116-117]".
"That is how God creates what He wills, when He decrees a thing, He says “Be,” and it is" (Aal `Imran 3:47).
Quran also says that Jesus is the "Word of Allah". "KALIMET ALLAH" (The Word of God).-This is used in the Quran twice in direct reference to Christ. Does Quran corroborate what Bible proclaim? Bible says "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" John 1:1. Here Bible proclaims that Jesus Christ is the "Word of God".


Jesus Christ-The sprit of God


Jesus was no ordinary human being. He was special by birth itself. He was conceived by the power of the holy spirit of God and not from a man. Quran proclaims that Jesus was holy by birth.
When the angels said "O Mary! Allah gives you the good news with a Word from Him
that you will be given a son: his name will be Messiah, Jesus (Jesus Christ) the son
of Mary. He will be noble in this world and the Hereafter; and he will be from those
who are very close to Allah. [45] He will speak to the people in the cradle and in his old age and he will be among the righteous."
[46] (Al-Imran) 3:[45-46].
When the angel appeared to Mary to announce the birth of Jesus, he said in Sura 19:19 (Mariam) - "'I am the messenger of your Lord,' he replied, 'and have come to give you a holy son.'" Quran declare that Jesus had a miraculous birth and he was not touched by sin or satan. "RUH ALLAH" (Spirit of God)-This title is used in the quran once concerning Jesus Christ (Surah 4: 169).
The muslims vehemently deny that Jesus is divine. Sura AN-NISA says "O People of the Book! Do not transgress the limits of your religion. Speak nothing but the Truth about Allah. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary was no more than a Messenger of Allah and His Word "Be" which He bestowed on Mary and a Spirit from Him which took the shape of a child in her womb. So believe in Allah and His Messengers and do not say: "Trinity"." Stop saying that, it is better for you. Allah is only One Deity. He is far above from the need of having a son! To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the Earth. Allah alone is sufficient for protection." 4:[171]. Here prophet Muhammad with the wisdom received from Allah despise a "Trinity". He is despising the "Trinity" of God, his wife and son. Jesus Christ doesn't speak of a "Trinity" of God, his wife and son. Jesus speaks of Father (God Himself), Son (Jesus Christ) and Holy spirit. Jesus is considered as 'Word of God' not just in Bible but also in Quran. To understand the relationship between Father and Son it is necessary to understand the relationship between God and his 'Word'. Where does 'Word' exist? The 'Word' exist in God. Doesn't that mean that God and his 'Word' (Kalimet allah - Jesus Christ) are one and the same? Unlike prophet Muhammad Christians do not believe that God needs a wife to have son. Prophet Muhammad could think of a 'Son of God' only if God(Allah) had a wife.


Completeness of Quran in Bible?

"Surely your Lord will judge between them in those matters in which
they caused dissension on the Day of Resurrection.[93] If you are in doubt regarding
what We have revealed to you, ask those who have been reading the Book before you. In fact, the truth has indeed come to you from your Lord: therefore, do not be of those who doubt,[94] and do not join those who deny the revelations of Allah; otherwise you will become one of the losers."
[95] 10:[93-95]. Does Quran as understood from the above surah declare that if there is any doubt in Quran, consult Bible?

Quran proclaims that Jesus is the spirit of God, He is the word of god. Jesus did many things that Muhammad Nabi could not perform. Jesus spoke when in cradle. He gave life to a bird made of clay, cured diseases, gave life to the dead and knows all the secrets. Further Jesus did not die and he went to heaven and will come back again. Does all these prove the divinity of Jesus Christ?
