"Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever."-Isaiah 30:8
There are two different versions of Jesus Christ, one in the Quran and one which is Biblical. Quite clearly, the Qur'an, Hadiths, and Traditions, and the Holy Bible are not describing the same Jesus.
1. Quran Jesus is a created human
The similitude of Jesus before Allah is that of Adam: he created him from dust, then said to him, "Be": and he was. Qur'an: Sura 3:59
vs.
Biblical Jesus who is eternal
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Micah 5:2
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. John 8:58
2. Quran Jesus is not the Lamb of God who was slain
That they said (in boast), ‘We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.’ But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of surety they killed him not: Qur'an: Surah 4.157
vs.
Biblical Jesus is the Lamb of God
Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Gospel of John 1:29
3. Quran Jesus sent Mohammed (not the Holy Spirit)
And (remember) when ‘Eesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: ‘O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah unto you, confirming the Tawraat [(Torah) which came] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad.’ But when he (Ahmad, i.e. Muhammad) came to them with clear proofs, they said: ‘This is plain magic’. [al-Saff 61:6]
vs.
Biblical Jesus sent the Holy Spirit (Comforter) which came at Pentecost 50 days later NOT five hundred years later (Mohammed)
But the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost John 14:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: John 15:26
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. John 16:7
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence. Acts 1:5
4. Islam says Salvation is found only in the Five Pillars of Islam omitting Jesus
Salvation can only be found in the Five Pillars of Shahada (Testifying of God’s Oneness), Salat (Prayer), Saum (Fasting), Zakat (Charity), and Hajj (Pilgrimage). (Qur'an: Surah Al-Maa’idah 5:116)
vs.
Biblical Jesus: Salvation is found in none other than himself
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:31
5. Islam Jesus is an involuntary Slave to Allah
I will then say what the Pious Slave Jesus the son of Mary said...(Hadith: Narrated by Ibn Abbas 5.117-118). Jesus..although he is jus one of Allah’s slaves. (Hadith: Narrated Nafi, 007.063.209). You’d better got to Jesus, Allah’s slave (Hadith: Narrated Anas, 009.093.532, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 507.)
vs.
Biblical Jesus made himself a voluntary servant
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2: 6-8
6. Quran Jesus was never crucified and therefore was not resurrected
And because of their saying (in boast), ‘We killed Messiah ‘Eesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah,’ — but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them the resemblance of ‘Eesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man)], and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture.
For surely; they killed him not [i.e. ‘Eesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)]: But Allah raised him [‘Eesa (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is Ever All Powerful, All Wise [al-Nisaa’ 4:157-158]
vs.
Biblical Jesus which (by his death and resurrection) saved his people from their sins
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11;25
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
I Corinthians 15:14
7. Quran Jesus is not the God in the flesh as the Messiah
Surely, they have disbelieved who say: Allah is the Messiah [‘Eesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)’ [al-Maa’idah 5:72]
Surely, disbelievers are those who said: ‘Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no AIlah (god) (none who has the right to be worshiped) but One Allah (God —Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall on the disbelievers among them. [al-Maa’idah 5:73]
and
Quran Jesus is NOT the Son of God (whoever believes he is will be thrown into the fire)
Then the sects differed [i.e. the Christians about ‘Eesa (Jesus)], so woe unto the disbelievers [those who gave false witness by saying that ‘Eesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah] from the Meeting of a great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire) [Qur'an: Maryam 19:34-38]
That they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Gracious (Allah). But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Gracious (Allah) that He should beget a son (or offspring or children). There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Gracious (Allah) as a slave [Maryam 19:88-93]
Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. Qur'an: Surah 4.171
vs.
Biblical Jesus who is the Word Made Flesh and dwelt among us and is the Son of God
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth. John 1;14
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
8. Quran Jesus can not be worshiped
And behold, Allah will say--O Jesus Son of Mary, did you say to men, worship me and my mother as gods beside Allah? He will reply - Glory to you, I could never say what I had not right [to say] Qur'an Surah al-Maa’idah 5:116
Christ the son of Mary was no more than a messenger: many were the messengers that passed away before him.. Qur'an: Sura 5:75
vs.
Biblical Jesus who is commanded to be worshiped (by both men and angels)
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:11
And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. Hebrews 1:6
9. Quran Jesus not fit to be intercessor
They will go to Jesus who will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking, but you’d better go to Muhammad whose sins of the past and future had been forgiven (by Allah)’ Hadith Volume 9, Book 93, Number 507.
vs.
Biblical Jesus is the ONLY mediator between God and Man
(Jesus alone is the sinless Lamb of God. How could Mohammed, a sinner, be more fit than Jesus?)
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; I Timothy 2:5
Hence, also, He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25
10. Quran Jesus will judge by the Law of the Quran and not by the Gospel (Fateh-ul Bari page 304 and 305 vol 7)
vs.
Biblical Jesus will judge by both the Old and New Testament (Gospel)
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law (Torah), till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. John 12:48
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Romans 2:16
11. Quran Jesus is simply another prophet
Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: Qur'an Surah 2.136, 2.84
vs.
Biblical Jesus who is the name above all names
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: Ephesians 1:21
12. Quran Jesus Returns in yellow garments
Jesus (peace be upon him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognize him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, (Sunan Abu Dawud Book 37, Number 4310)
vs.
Biblical Jesus returns in arrayed in white light
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire. Daniel 7:9
The following verses describe Christ’s Transfiguration; virtually identical to his portrayal as Ancient of Days and therefore his Second Coming:
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. Matthew 17:2
And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. Mark 9:3
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment [was] white [and] glistering. Luke 9:29
13. Quran Jesus lands near a Minaret in Damascus, Syria
Most Muslims believe that Jesus descent from heaven will be accomplished by resting his hands on the wings of two angels. He will descend onto the white minaret, situated in the eastern part of Damascus. He will invite the whole world to be Muslim including Christians and Jews. (Mawdudi, A.A, Finality of Prophethood, pp. 58-61), and (Vol 18, Hadith No. 814)
Hadrat Hudaifa b. Yama relates (with reference to Dajjal),
When the Muslims will fall in lines to offer prayers, Christ son of Mary (PBUH) shall descend from heaven before their eyes. He will lead the prayers. When the prayers are over he will say to the people: "Clear the way between me and this enemy of God." God will give victory to the Muslims over the hosts of Dajjal. The Muslims will inflict dire punishment upon the enemy. Even the trees and stones will cry out, "O Abdullah, O Abdul Rahman, O Muslim, come, here is a Jew behind me, kill him." In this way God will cause the Jews to be annihilated and Muslims shall be the victors. They will break the Cross, slaughter the swine and abolish Jizya (levied on non-Muslims).
(Mustadrak Hakim - A brief version of this tradition has been recorded in Muslim. Hafiz Ibn Hajar in Fath-ul-Bari Vol. VI, p. 450 declares this tradition to be authentic.)
vs.
Biblical Jesus descends and lands on the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, Zechariah 14:4
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:11
14. Quran Jesus will die forty years after his return
He (Jesus) will perish all religions except Islam. He (Jesus) will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. (Sunan Abu Dawud Book 37, Number 4310). After his death, he will be buried beside the grave of the Prophet Muhammad (Wali ad-Din, Miskat Al-Masabih, (tr. James Robson), Vol.II, p.1159; Sahih Muslim, Vol.1, p.92).
vs
Biblical Jesus is alive forevermore
But because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Hebrews 7:24
I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:18
Jesus Christ himself said, "many false Christs will come in my name claiming he is the Christ and DECEIVE many." (Matthew 24:24 and Mark 13:22).
In Galatians it is recorded that if any man preach a different Gospel (another Jesus) which is NO gospel at all, let him be eternally damned. (Galatians 1:6-9)
The Apostle John says that whoever denies Christ came in the flesh (as God’s son) is an antichrist.
God is not an author of confusion, therefore the Quran's Jesus is an imaginary Jesus.
The Biblical Jesus is the true Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).
Any other Jesus is the Prince of Darkness.
If you believe the Quran's Jesus is the true Christ, worship him and him only.
If you believe the Biblical Jesus is the true Christ, worship Him and Him only.
For no one can serve two masters! Amen!
