The Qur’an is quite explicit on where it stands on Jesus, whom, they call
a
prophet. Can a prophet lie about what he says to the people and represents God? What
about what he says about himself?
The Qur’an The Bible
|
Sura 19:20,34, Jesus praised his birth and then said, “I am the
servant of Allah.” And Allah teaches, “It is not for God to take a
son unto Him.”
|
“Jesus… He said to him, 'Do you believe in the Son of God?'
He answered and said, 'Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?' And
Jesus said to him, 'You have both seen Him and it is He who is
talking with you.” (John 9:35-37) |
|
Sura 10:68-70 They say: “God hath begotten a son!” - Glory
be to Him! He is self- sufficient! His are all things in the heavens and
on earth! No warrant have ye for this! say ye about God what ye know
not? Say: “Those who invent a lie against God will never prosper.” A
little enjoyment in this world!- and then, to Us will be their return,
then shall We make them taste the severest penalty for their
blasphemies.” |
“...do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into
the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the
Son of God'?” (John 10:36)
“When Jesus heard that, He said, 'This sickness
is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God
may be glorified through it” (John 11:4)
|
|
5:72-73, 5:75 “They do blaspheme who say: “God is Christ the son
of Mary.” They do blaspheme who say: God is one of three in a trinity:
for there is no God except one God Allah. If they do not desist from
their word of blasphemy, verily a grievous penalty will befall the
blasphemers among them. Christ the son of Mary was no more than a
Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him.”
|
“He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him;
for He said, 'I am the Son of God.” (Matthew
27:43) “...but these are written that you may believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may
have life in His name.” (John 20:31) |
| Sura 5: 119: “And behold! God will
say: “O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, “Worship me
and my mother as gods in derogation of God”? He will say: “Glory to
thee! Never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a
thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my
heart, though I have not known what is in thine. For thou knowest in
full all that is hidden.” |
The Eunuch asking to be baptized-“Then Philip said, 'If you believe with all your
heart, you may.' And he answered and said, 'I believe that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God'” (Acts
8:37). |
|
Sura 18:4-5 “Further, that He may warn those (also) who say, “God
hath begotten a son”: No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had
their fathers. It is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a
saying what they say is nothing but falsehood!”
|
(Jesus) said to them, "But who do you say that I am? "Simon
Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living
God." Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon
Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My
Father who is in heaven. (Matt 16:15-17) |
|
Sura 43:59 states “Jesus was no more than a mortal whom Allah
favored and made an example to the Israelites. They are unbelievers
who say God is Messiah, Mary’s son.” |
“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin
shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel; [which is,
being interpreted, God with us.]”(Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23).
“For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord.” ( that is Yahweh, Luke 2:11) |
|
Sura 25:2-3 “He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the
earth: no son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: it
is He who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions. Yet
have they taken, besides him, gods that can create nothing but are
themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves;
nor can they control death nor life nor resurrection |
At Jesus’ transfiguration the Father speaks “While he was
still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a
voice came out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” (Matthew 17:5). |
|
Sura 19:88-92 They say: “(God) Most Gracious has begotten a son!”
Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! At it the skies are
ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall
down in utter ruin, That they should invoke a son for (God) Most
Gracious. For it is not consonant with the majesty of (God) Most
Gracious that He should beget a son.” |
The voice of the Father speaks from heaven at Jesus’ baptism, “This
is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Mt.3:17) Jesus said “The Father loves the Son, and has
given all things into His hand.” (John 3:35).
“For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things” (John
5:20). |
|
Sura 18:4-5 “Further, that He may warn those (also) who say, “God
hath begotten a son”: No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had
their fathers. It is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a
saying what they say is nothing but falsehood!”
|
“Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God
abides in him, and he in God” (1 John 4:15, 1 John 1:7)
“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God.” (Mark 1:1)
Paul- “Immediately he preached the Christ in the
synagogues, that He is the Son of God.” (Acts 9:20). |
|
Sura 112:1-4 “Proclaim, 'He is the One and only GOD. The
Absolute GOD. Never did He beget. Nor was He begotten. None equals Him.” |
“No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten
Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him” (John
1:18). “In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has
sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him”
(I Jn 4:9) |
To be the only- begotten means one is unique, there is
no other like him- it does not mean one is an offspring.
Proverbs 30:3-4 “I neither
learned wisdom nor have knowledge of the Holy One. Who has ascended into
heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound
the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What
is His name, and what is His Son's name, if you know?
His name is Jesus
Acts 4:12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for
there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be
saved."
I John 5:13 "These things I have
written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know
that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name
of the Son of God.
