the Quran describes how Mary, the mother of Jesus, was approached by an
angel from God, bringing her tidings she had never imagined: that she
will give birth to a son, a Messiah, who will be of the righteous and
will be a prophet of God, calling the Children of Israel (the
Israelites) to the straight path of God. �(And mention) when the angels said, �O Mary, indeed God gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary � distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near (to God). He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous.� (Quran 3:45-46) Naturally, for Mary, this news was both strange and seemingly impossible. �She said, �My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?� (The angel) said, �Such is God; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, �Be,� and it is. And He will teach him writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel.� (Quran 3:47-48) The very nature of Jesus is so special, that God compares the uniqueness of His creation to that of the first man and prophet, Adam. �Indeed, the example of Jesus to God is like that of Adam. He created him from dust; then He said to him, �Be,� and he was.� (Quran 3:59) Jesus and His Miracles Jesus became one of the greatest prophets of God, and was sent to the Children of Israel in order to confirm the teachings of his predecessor, the Prophet Moses. His birth was a miracle, and, like all prophets of God, he was granted several miracles. He approached his people, telling them: �And (make him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, (who will say), �Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord� in that I design for you from the clay (that which is) like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of God. And I cure the blind (from birth) and the leper, and I give life to the dead � by permission of God. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers. And (I have come) confirming what was before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me. Indeed, God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is the straight path.� (Quran 3:49-51) Jesus�s Followers The Quran continues the story of Jesus by relating several incidents of his life and his disciples. �But when Jesus felt (persistence in) disbelief from them, he said, �Who are my supporters for (the cause of) God?� The disciples said,� We are supporters for God. We have believed in God and testify that we are Muslims (submitting to Him.) Our Lord, we have believed in what You revealed and have followed the messenger (i.e., Jesus), so register us among the witnesses (to truth).� (Quran 3:52-53) In another incident, after which an entire surah (chapter) of the Quran is named, the disciples of Jesus asked him for another miracle. �(And remember) when the disciples said, �O Jesus, Son of Mary, can your Lord send down to us a table (spread with food) from the heaven?� (Jesus) said, �Fear God, if you should be believers.� They said, �We wish to eat from it and let our hearts be reassured and know that you have been truthful to us and be among its witnesses.� Said Jesus, the son of Mary, �O God, our Lord, send down to us a table (spread with food) from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers.�� (Quran 5:112-114) God sent them the table they had asked for, but not without a warning. �God said, �Indeed, I will sent it down to you, but whoever disbelieves afterwards from among you � then indeed will I punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the worlds.�� (Quran 5:115) The End of the Story? The story of Jesus never really ends in the Quran, as we are told that Jesus was not killed, but that rather, God raised His beloved prophet up to Him. �(Mention) when God said, �O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify (i.e., free) you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you (in submission to God alone) superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ. And as for those who disbelieved, I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.� But as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards, and God does not like the wrongdoers.� (Quran 3:55-57) The Quran also points out that Jesus was neither killed nor crucified. Speaking of the Children of Israel, God faults their accusations against Mary as well as their claim that they killed Jesus. �And (We cursed them) for their disbelief and their saying against Mary a great slander. And (for) their saying, �Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of God.� And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but (another) was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain. Rather, God raised him to Himself. And ever is God Exalted in Might and Wise.� (Quran 4:156-158) The Quran confirms that Jesus was raised up by God, and the Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, reassured us that Jesus will be sent down to earth once again before the Day of Judgment. In a saying of Prophet Muhammad, narrated by Abu Hurairah, the Prophet said: �By the One in Whose hand is my self, definitely the son of Maryam will soon descend among you as a just judge, and he will break the cross, kill the pig, and abolish the jizyah (tribute), and wealth will be so abundant that no one will accept it, until a single prostration will be better than the world and everything in it.� (Saheeh Al-Bukhari) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yEq172Yvs4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yEq172Yvs4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grz-lIKoFN4 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grz-lIKoFN4 |

Someone told me Thanks for sharing info, I know what your point is. I am just throwing my opinion. Modern Christianity is thoroughly corrupt/satanic by past standards. It is easy to imagine Christians choosing Islam too save their souls. One can�t just compare Jesus with current day Christians. One need to understand the dominant race in Christianity and their background, how they accepted this religion and how it impacted their daily lives. Jesus was a Prophet, like Abraham, Moses and Muhammed peace be upon them. The Christians of today's days are product of Roman Empire�s conveniently adoption of Jesus� religion in 3rd century. The Europeans had a mixed and scattered culture for thousands of years, with pagan beliefs and other fairy tales dominating the landscape. With the advent of Christianity in Europe, the locals adopted the religion very quickly, as it did not confronted with their life styles and culture. Under Constantine who imported (officially) the religion in Europe, Romans ensured that the new religion is in full compliance to their culture and rituals. For example, during the counsel of Nicaea several aspects of belief systems were standardized before masses (of Europe, non-Semitics, Caucasians) can have a hold onto different version of Bible or common daily life practices of Orthodox Jews. The East Bazentine, new Roman Empire to the central Europe and pockets of other areas in North were mainly pagan at that time. So sculptures, divine figures, certain celebrations, festivities were part of their social life. Moral values were as good as any other region of that time (The middle-east that had Jewish population and influence on others were considered very conservatives, so you can imagine what was going on in Europe), drinking and pork eating was normal and commonly practiced. So the importer of the new religion made sure that standards set by Bible for Isrealites must not collide with the relaxed (no restrictions) attitude of Europeans towards religion. They customized the religion to best suite the new tenants that eventually became the torch bearer of Christianity within few centuries. The original followers and preachers fell in the background and eventually forgotten. The religion totally changed and took new course where the founder died for the sins, giving followers clean chit to do whatever they do, keep His sculpture in Church, follow the re-branded customs of pagans with renewed stories linked to Jesus for every celebration and festivals, drink and eat pork as before and create excuses (from Jesus� life) for everything that they do against the Ten Commandments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-axCiYKpO-Q |

Now More than 2 million people surround me. We all have one common goal, one purpose for being here together. I do not stand out from anyone else. There are no signs of wealth or greatness upon me. No Rolex watch or Nike shoes to mark me as a rich person. I am one person alone, in a sea of humanity. I am black or white, yellow or brown, the colour of my skin is not important. I am from Europe or Asia or South America, my homeland is any corner of this wide earth. The people around me are young and old, male and female, rich and poor. We represent humankind in our diversity, yet we are united. We are unity in diversity. I am at Hajj Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims declare that there is no god worthy of worship but Allah and that Muhammad is His messenger; they pray, they fast, they pay obligatory charity, and they go to Hajj. Hajj is a pilgrimage to the city of Makah in Saudi Arabia. At the mosque and in the surrounding area, Muslims perform prayers and rituals. Hajj is an obligatory act performed once in a lifetime by all mentally, physically, and financially able Muslims. �And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makah) to the House (Kaba) is a duty that mankind owes to God, those who can afford the expenses (for one�s conveyance, provision and residence) ; and whoever disbelieves then God stands not in need of any of mankind, jinn and all that exists� (Quran 3:97) Muslims from all over the world will gather to worship God. They arrive in Saudi Arabia, by plane, bus, car, etc. Some endure great hardship, others merely buy a first class ticket, but they come as equals. People make this journey prepared to stand at the House of God (or Kaba) and affirm their love for God and His religion of Islam. �And proclaim to humankind the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel, they will come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform Hajj)� (Quran 22:27) The Hajj is several days of total devotion to the One God. Muslims come together to celebrate His praises, ask for His forgiveness and demonstrate unity for His sake alone. Throughout the Muslim world, Hajj has come to symbolise unity. Although Muslims may be disunited due to many outside influences, such as money, politics, border disputes or other worldly concerns. Hajj is the great leveller. At Hajj, all Muslims are equal; nothing about the rituals they perform makes one person better than another. More than 2 million Muslims stand in one place, wearing the same simple clothing, following the same rituals and saying the same words. They are united in their devotion to God. The black man stands next to the white man and they call on God with one voice. The king stands beside the pauper and they declare their submission to the will of God using the same words. Muslims from every corner of the globe are united in their submission to the will of God. They cry out as if with one voice, �Here I am O God, here I am at your service, and You have no partner. Here I am. All praise, grace, and dominion belong to You. You have no partner�. This supplication is said repeatedly by the pilgrims. It is their answer to God�s call for the Muslims to perform Hajj. These words are repeated with joy and reverence by all, regardless of status or class. Some people are so overcome with emotion that they weep, others feel elated and happier then they have ever felt before. Every person there feels that he is one person, alone among millions answering God�s call and God hears his supplication and sees his arrival. The pilgrims feel amazed that they are the guest of the most Merciful God. He or she attends this gathering by the invitation of God, not at the invitation of a government or an organisation, nor at the request of a family member or friend. Hajj is performed because God has invited the believers to congregate together. Regardless of place of birth, nationality, ethnicity, gender, or status, all are welcome, and all are equal in the sight of God. The Muslims gather to meet one another and demonstrate to each other, and the world that they are united. Unity in diversity. They are united by their worship of One God. �O humankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with God is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa (piety, God consciousness). Verily, God is All-Knowing, All-Aware.� (Quran 39:13) Islam is the religion of unity. Repeatedly throughout the Quran God reminds the believers that they must remain united and seek strength through unity. Hajj epitomises this unity. People from every race and colour come together in submission to the will of God. Muslims are one brotherhood and they come together with a sense of purpose and a desire for peace. �The believers are nothing else but brothers (in Islam). So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear God, that you may receive mercy.� (Quran 39:10) �And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of God (this Quran), and be not divided among yourselves, and remember God�s Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islam), and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus God makes His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.,) clear to you, that you may be guided.� (Quran 3:103) Hajj is the largest annual gathering of Muslims; it is the largest gathering of people united by the peacefulness and serenity that is Islam. Anything that disturbs the peacefulness of Hajj is prohibited. No matter what is happening in the material world at Hajj, peace prevails. Muslims gather together and their diversity is a wonder to behold. The old stand with the young, the rich stand with the poor, people of all colours and nationalities stand shoulder to shoulder in prayer, and perform rituals side by side. Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, said, �In their love, kindness, and compassion for each other, the believers are like a human body.[1] Muslims at Hajj are one people, they are a soothing sea of humanity, gathered together to worship One God. Muslims turn their faces in one direction and submit to the will of God. They are united by their love of God, and united in their diversity.

The twelfth month of the Islamic calendar is called Dhul Hijjah. It is the month that contains one of the greatest pillars of Islam � Hajj or the major pilgrimage. It also contains one of only two Islamic reoccurring festivals, Eid ul Adha. These two special occasions, the Hajj and Eid ul Adha, are inextricably linked by one special man, Prophet Ibrahim, known in Jewish and Christian traditions as Prophet Abraham. Making the pilgrimage is often called following in the footsteps of Ibrahim. This is due to the fact that the rituals involved in the pilgrimage replicate many of the events in Prophet Ibrahim�s life. Eid ul Adha commemorates a specific trial in the life of Ibrahim. He was commanded by God to sacrifice, his son Ishmael. Eid ul Adha occurs on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, the day on which most of the Hajj rites have been preformed and the pilgrims slaughter an animal to honour Prophet Ibrahim�s obedience to God. �Surely Ibrahim was an example, obedient to God, by nature upright, and he was not of the polytheists. He was grateful for Our bounties. We chose him and guided him unto a right path. We gave him good in this world, and in the next he will most surely be among the righteous.� (Quran 16:120-121) In a divinely inspired dream, Ibrahim saw himself sacrificing his son Ishmael. All members of Ibrahim�s family demonstrated complete trust in God, therefore Ibrahim revealed the dream to Ishmael. He readily agreed that his father must carry out the command of God. Together they went to the place of sacrifice and offered Ishmael�s life to God. Ibrahim prepared to sacrifice his beloved son. At this point the shaytaan (satan) tempted Ibrahim trying to make him disobey God, but Ibrahim resisted and drove the shaytaan away. Ibrahim looked down at his son for what he believed was the last time but as the blade came close to Ishmael�s neck God stayed his hand and revealed that there was no need for Ibrahim to continue. His sacrifice had already been fulfilled. Giving up something big for the sake of God, such as the life of your child, must seem like a huge and unimaginable sacrifice. Today even going without something small, such as a cup of coffee, to donate the money to charity seems like a large sacrifice. Try to imagine how Ibrahim must have felt as he held the blade above his child�s neck. In the last moment he was relieved of his duty to follow God�s commands. Having complete trust in God, knowing with certainty that God knows and wants what is best for us is often difficult, but it should not be. ��And whosoever fears God and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine�.� (Quran 65:2-3) God replaced Ishmael with a sheep and it is for this reason that Muslims sacrifice an animal on the celebration of Eid ul Adha; however it is more than a celebration, it is a reminder. We are reminded of our own submission to the will of God. Those Muslim�s who are not making the pilgrimage and who can afford it sacrifice an animal in remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim�s test. �Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you�.� (Quran 22:37) The act of animal sacrifice is often misunderstood. God has no need for the blood or the meat; in fact God has no need for any of our acts of worship. However for our own benefit God commands us to turn to Him and obey Him. God looks for our piety, our goodness and our charity. The animal sacrificed is usually a sheep, a goat or a cow. Distributing the meat from the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha strengthens many of our efforts to please God with our piety. Usually, a portion is eaten by the immediate family and relatives, a portion is given away to friends and neighbours and a portion is donated to the poor. The act symbolizes our willingness to give up our bounties to strengthen ties of kinship and friendship and our enthusiasm to give up things that are of benefit to us in order to help those who are in need. In the sacrifice we recognize that all blessings come from God. Eid ul Adha commences on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah. For those who are not at the pilgrimage, it begins with an extra early morning prayer performed in congregation, called the Eid prayer. It is a time of celebration, a time to visit family and friends and thank God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us. It demands contact with relatives, kindness to family and neighbours, and empathy and compassion for the poor. Above all Eid ul Adha reminds us that God is great and that He is the source of all bounties. Through the good times and the trying times God is the source of all comfort and all peace, and submission to Him brings the greatest benefits of all.

The idea of Jesus dying on the cross is central to the Christian belief.
It represents the conviction that Jesus died for the sins of mankind.
The crucifixion of Jesus is a vital doctrine in Christianity; however
Muslims reject it completely. Before describing what Muslims believe
about Jesus� crucifixion, it may be useful to understand the Islamic
reaction to the notion of original sin. When Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree in paradise, they were not tempted by a serpent. It was Satan who deceived and cajoled them, whereupon they exercised their free will and made an error in judgement. Eve does not bear the burden of this mistake alone. Together, Adam and Eve realised their disobedience, felt remorse and begged for God�s forgiveness. God, in his infinite mercy and wisdom, forgave them. Islam has no concept of original sin; each person bears responsibility for his own deeds. �And no bearer of burdens shall bear another�s burden�. (Quran 35:1  There is no need for God, a son of God, or even a Prophet of God to sacrifice himself for mankind�s sins in order to buy forgiveness. Islam refuses this view entirely. The foundation of Islam rests on knowing with certainty that nothing should we worshipped but God alone. Forgiveness emanates from the One True God; so, when a person seeks forgiveness, he must turn to God submissively with true remorse and beg forgiveness, promising not to repeat the sin. Then and only then will sins be forgiven. In the light of Islam�s understanding of original sin and forgiveness, we can see that Islam teaches that Jesus did not come to atone for the sins of mankind; rather, his purpose was to reaffirm the message of the Prophets before him. �.. None has the right to be worshipped but God, the One and the Only True God�� (Quran 3:62) Muslims do not believe in the crucifixion of Jesus, nor do they believe that he died. The Crucifixion Jesus� message was rejected by most of the Israelites as well as the Roman authorities. Those who believed formed a small band of followers around him, known as the disciples. The Israelites plotted and conspired against Jesus and formulated a plan to have him assassinated. He was to be executed in public, in a particularly gruesome manner, well known in the Roman Empire: crucifixion. Crucifixion was considered a shameful way to die, and �citizens� of the Roman Empire were exempt from this punishment. It was designed to not only prolong the agony of death, but to mutilate the body. The Israelites planned this humiliating death for their Messiah � Jesus, the messenger of God. God in his infinite mercy prevented this abominable event by putting the resemblance of Jesus on somebody else and elevating Jesus alive, body and soul, to heaven. The Quran is silent about the exact details of just who this person was, but we know and believe with certainty that it was not Prophet Jesus. Muslims believe that the Quran and the authentic narrations of Prophet Muhammad contain all the knowledge mankind needs in order to worship and live according to God�s commandments. Therefore, if small details are not explained, it is because God in His infinite wisdom has judged these details to be of no benefit to us. The Quran explains, in God�s own words, the conspiracy against Jesus and His plan to outwit the Israelites and raise Jesus to heaven. �And they plotted to kill Jesus and God planned too. And God is the Best of the planners.� (Quran 3:54) �And because of their boasting, "We killed Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of God." But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Jesus was put over another 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. But God raised him (Jesus) up unto Himself. And God is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise.� (Quran 4:157-15 Jesus Did Not Die The Israelites and the Roman authorities were not able to harm Jesus. God says clearly that He took Jesus up to Himself and cleared him of the false statements made in Jesus� name. �O Jesus! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you of the forged statement that Jesus is God�s son.� (Quran 3:55) In the previous verse, when God said He �will take� Jesus, he uses the word mutawaffeeka. Without a clear understanding of the richness of the Arabic language, and knowledge of the levels of meaning in many words, it may be possible to misunderstand God�s meaning. In the Arabic language today the word mutawaffeeka is sometimes used to denote death, or even sleep. In this verse of Quran, however, the original meaning is used and the comprehensiveness of the word denotes that God raised Jesus to himself, completely. Thus, he was alive at his ascension, body and soul, without any injury or defect. Muslims believe Jesus is not dead, and that he will return to this world in the last days before the Day of Judgement. Prophet Mohammad said to his companions: �How will you be when the son of Mary, Jesus descends amongst you and he will judge people by the Law of the Quran and not by the law of Gospel.� (Saheeh Al-Bukhari) God reminds us in the Quran that the Day of Judgement is a Day that we cannot avoid and cautions us that the descent of Jesus is a sign of its nearness. �And he, Jesus, son of Mary shall be a known sign for the Hour. Therefore have no doubt concerning it. And follow Me! This is the Straight Path.� (Quran 43:61) Therefore, the Islamic belief about Jesus� crucifixion and death is clear. There was a plot to crucify Jesus but it did not succeed; Jesus did not die, but ascended to heaven. In the last days leading up to the Day of Judgement, Jesus will return to this world and continue his message. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdeUi45cl5Q |

The practicality of Islamic Law is one particular aspect that truly
impressed me at that time, It is a great blessing that in Islam one
finds detailed teachings that result in their desired goals while, at
the same time, being extremely practical and consistent with human
nature. The lack of such teachings is one of the greatest dilemmas faced
by Christianity. For example, with respect to societal cohesion and
interaction, the greatest teachings found in the New Testament are what
are known as �the hard sayings� of Jesus. They are as follows: �Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect� (Matthew 5:38-4 . Christian scholars themselves are perplexed. How are such obviously impossible or impractical teachings to be applied? Just one example of a discussion of these words will suffice to show how perplexing they are to those who staunchly believe in them: [For interpreting these words, t]he model proposed by Joachim Jeremias is simple, representative, and of continuing influence. According to this model, the Sermon usually is seen in one of three ways: (1) as a perfectionist code, fully in line with the legalism of rabbinic Judaism; (2) as an impossible ideal, meant to drive the believer first to desperation, and then to trust in God's mercy; or (3) as an �interim ethic� meant for what was expected to be a brief period of waiting in the end time, and which is now obsolete. Jeremias adds his own fourth thesis: The Sermon is an indicative depiction of incipient life in the kingdom of God, which presupposes as its condition of possibility the experience of conversion. More complex or comprehensive schematizations have been offered, but most major interpreters can be understood in relation to the options posed by Jeremias.[1] In Islam, there are no such dilemmas. The teachings are easy, flexible, practical and completely suited to everyday life, even for a new Muslim living in a completely non-Islamic environment, such as I was. The famed author James A. Michener also noted and appreciated this aspect of Islam. In one of the earliest writings that I had read about Islam, entitled �Islam�the Misunderstood Religion,� Michener wrote, The Koran is remarkably down-to-earth in its discussion of the good life. In one memorable passage it directs: �When ye deal with each other in transactions involving future obligations reduce them to writing� and get two witnesses�� It is this combination of dedication to one God, plus practical instruction, that makes the Koran unique.[2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHMIDfo76oY |

Jesus in the Quran holds one of the highest statures amongst the
Prophets. Unlike other Prophets who performed miracles, Jesus himself
was a miracle, as he was born of a virgin mother, and God describes him
and his mother Mary as such: ��and We made her (Mary) and her son (Jesus) a sign for the worlds.� (Quran 21:91) Nonetheless, in the Quran, Jesus is described as having many miracles not bestowed upon other prophets. God says: �And We gave unto Jesus, son of Mary, clear miracles� (Quran 2:87) The following is a brief description of the miracles performed by Jesus mentioned in the Quran. 1. A Table Laden with Food In the fifth chapter of the Quran, �The Table Laden with Food� � named after this miracle of Jesus, God narrates how the disciples of Jesus requested him to ask God to send down a table laden with food, and for it to be a special day of commemoration for them in the future. �When the disciples said: O Jesus, son of Mary! Is your Lord able to send down for us a table spread with food from heaven? He said: Observe your duty to God, if ye are true believers. They said: We desire to eat of it and our hearts be at rest, and that We may know that you have spoken truth to us, and that We may be witnesses thereof. Jesus, son of Mary, said: 'O God, our Lord, send down for us a Table laden with food out of heaven, that shall be for us a recurring festival, the first and last of us, and a miracle from You. And provide us our sustenance, for You are the best of providers!� (Quran 5:112-114) Since the occasion was to be �for us a recurring festival,� it is likely the Last Supper,[1] also called the Lord's Supper, Breaking of Bread, Eucharist, or Communion. The Eucharist has always been at the center of Christian worship. Encyclopedia Britannica says: �Eucharist is a Christian sacrament commemorating the action of Jesus at his Last Supper with his disciples � The letters of Paul and the Acts of the Apostles make it clear that early Christianity believed that this institution included a mandate to continue the celebration� The Eucharist has formed a central rite of Christian worship.�[2] 2. While Still in the Cradle One of the miracles mentioned in the Quran, although not mentioned in the Bible, is that fact that Jesus, while still in the cradle, spoke out to protect his mother Mary from any accusations people may have placed on her due to having a child without a father. When she was approached about this strange incident after her childbirth, Mary merely pointed to Jesus, and he miraculously spoke, just as God had promised her upon annunciation. �He shall speak to people while still in the cradle, and in manhood, and he shall be from the righteous.� (Quran 3:46) Jesus said to the people: �I am indeed a slave of God. He has given me the Book and made me a Prophet, and He has made me blessed wherever I may be. And He has enjoined upon me prayers, and to pay the alms, as long as I live and (He has made me) kind to my mother, and He has not made me insolent, unblessed. And may Peace be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and on the Day I shall be raised to life.� (Quran 19:30-33) 3. And It Becomes a Bird God mentions a miracle given to none other in the Quran but Jesus, one which is quite parallel to how God himself created Adam. This miracle was one which none can argue its greatness. God mentions in the Quran that Jesus says: �I create for you out of clay the likeness of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird with God�s permission.� (Quran 3:49) This miracle is not found in the New Testament, but it is found in the non-canonical �Infancy Gospel of Thomas,� �When this boy, Jesus, was five years old, he was playing at the ford of a rushing stream� he then made soft clay and shaped it into twelve sparrows� but Jesus simply clapped his hands and shouted to the sparrows: �Be off, fly away, and remember me, you who are now alive!� And the sparrows took off and flew away noisily.� (Infancy Gospel of Thomas:2) 4. Healing the Blind and the Leper Similar to the New Testament[3], The Quran also mentions Jesus to a have healed the blind and lepers. �I also heal the blind and the leper.� (Quran 3:49) The Jews during the time of Jesus were quite advanced in the science of medicine and were quite proud of their achievements. For this reason, miracles of this nature were given by God to Jesus, ones which the Jews could well understand that no force in nature could perform its like. 5. The Resurrection of the Dead ��and I bring to life the dead, by the permission of God.� (Quran 3:49) This, like the creation of a bird, was a miracle of incomparable nature, one which should have caused the Jews to believe in the prophethood of Jesus without doubt. In the New Testament, we read three cases where Jesus brought the dead back to life by God�s permission - the daughter of Jairus (Matt 9:18, 23; Mark 5:22, 35; Luke 8:40, 49), the widow's son at Nain (Luke 7:11), and Lazarus (John 11:43). 6. The Provisions of Today and Tomorrow Jesus was given the miracle of knowing what people had just eaten, as well as what they had in store for the coming days. God says. �I inform you too of what things you eat, and what you store up in your houses. Surely in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.� (Quran 3:49) A Demonstration of Truth Similar to other prophets, Jesus performed miracles to convince skeptics of his truthfulness, not to demonstrate his divinity. The Quran says: �Surely in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.� (Quran 3:49) These miracles were performed only by the Will of God, had he not willed them to occur, they could never come to be. God explicitly states this in the Quran, saying that they were: ��by the permission of God� (Quran 3:49; 5:10) Although Muslims can not confirm it, the Bible, through certain narrations, states that Jesus at times failed to perform miracles. Once when Jesus tried to heal a blind man, he was not healed after the first attempt, and Jesus had to try a second time (Mark 8: 22-26). In another instance, �He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.�(Mark 6:5) The fact remains that indeed it was not through his own will that Jesus or any other prophet performed miracles. Rather, they were performed only by Will of God Almighty - a fact also explicitly stated in the Bible: �A man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through him in your midst.� (Acts 2:22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrlFch1dV7U |

The calendar year of Islam begins not with the birthday of our prophet (peace be on him), not from the time that the revelation came to him (Bethat) nor from the time of his ascension to heaven, but with the migration (Hijra) from an undesirable environment into a desirable place to fulfill Allah's command. It was migration from a plot that was set by the leaders of the Quraysh who were plotting to kill prophet Muhammad, and to destroy the truth that today is being conveyed to mankind everywhere against tyranny and injustice. Their purpose was to destroy the foundation of the Islamic state, the Sunnah of the tradition of the prophet, and to prevent the revelation being delivered by Allah's messenger to mankind. The Islamic calendar is reckoned from the time of migration (Hijra) of Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) from Mecca to Madina. The Prophet's decision to migrate from Mecca came after several years of inhuman treatment of the faithful by the powerful tribes who were united despite all their feuds to stop the spread of Islam. Prophet Mohammad's decision to leave Mecca coincided with the infidel's plan to assassinate him. In 622 AD, the Quresh tribesmen held a meeting and decided that a band of young men, one from each tribe, should assassinate Prophet Mohammad collectively so that their responsibility for the murder could not be placed on any particular tribe. On the eventful night, the Prophet asked his cousin Ali Ben Abutalib to take his place in bed to make the Meccans think that he was asleep. The Prophet himself slipped out unobserved alongwith his loyal follower Abu Bakr (who was chosen as the first C aliph after the death of the prophet). They secretly made their way to a cave named Thawr, not far from Mecca and lay in hiding there for a day or two until Abu Bakr's son reported that the search for him had been given up. Then the two set out from Madina on camel back. They reached Quba, on the edge of the Madina oasis, on 12th Rabiul Awwal. With Mohammad's arrival in Quba a new phase of his career and glory of Islam started. This migration has a special significance in the history of Islam. It ended the Meccan period of humiliation and torture and began the era of success. His own people to whom he preached Islam for 13 years neglected the Prophet of Islam. But he was cordially received in Madina as an honored chief. In Madina his power enhanced day by day. Here he was not only the religious leader but took the role of a politician and statesman too. Prophet Mohammad expired ten years after his migration to Madina but only in one decade he changed the course of human history. In view of this special significance of the Prophet's migration the consultative body advised the Second Islamic Caliph, Omar ben Khattab, to start the Islamic year from the date of migration of the Prophet from Mecca to Madina. According to early Moslem scholars, Abu Musa Al Shari drew attention of Omar to an improperly dated debenture or IOU which was payable in the month of Shaban but it was not clear which Shaban was actually meant, the present one or the coming one. Omar called the dignitaries for consultation who made several suggestions to begin the Islamic calendar. Ali (who later became the fourth caliph) suggested the Hijra as the beginning of the Islamic year with Moharram as its first month. Consequently, Caliph Omar in 21 A.H. or 641 A.D introduced the Islamic calendar in its present form. QURANIC GUIDANCE The guidance about the Islamic calendar is taken from the following verses from the Holy Quran: (In the name of GOD most gracious and most merciful) "Lo the number of the months with God is twelve months." IX:36. "They ask thee, of new moons. Say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage." II:189. "He it is who appointed the sun a splendor and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning." X:5 The Islamic Calendar of 12 Lunar Months is determined by observation of the new moon with no effort by intercalation (addition) or other means to synchronize the Lunar year with the Solar year.

Christians believe that Jesus is alive today, and many denominations
believe him to be active. They also believe that he has been
resurrected already, and that he will never die again. The Muslim
position, however, is that he never died, and therefore is still alive.
It says in the Quran, that the Jews claim: �We killed Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, Messenger of God.� However, God denies this, as the verse continues: �But they killed him not, nor crucified him; It was only a likeness shown to them: Most certainly they killed him not. Rather, God lifted him up to Himself.� (Quran 4:157- This action of lifting is literally an upward movement, physically being taken from the earth into heavens, just as he will be physically brought back on the wings of angels from the heavens to the earth when he returns. Christians estimate his age to be 31-33 years of age at ascension, because the synoptic Gospels are considered to describe approximately 1 year of his life. The Gospel of John purportedly describes 3 years of his life from the moment he began preaching, of which Luke says: �And Jesus himself began to be about 30 years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph � and (he) was led by the spirit into the wilderness.� (Luke 3:23 and 4:1) Muslim scholars agree. Hasan Basri said, �Jesus was 34, while Sa�eed bin Mussayyib said, �He was 33,� when he was lifted up to heaven.[1] �And there is none of the People of the Book but will believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Judgment, he will be a witness against them.� (Quran 4:159) God, here, is talking about the �People of the Book� believing in Jesus before the latter dies well after he was lifted up into the heavens. The implication is that he is not yet dead. In fact, he is securely kept by God until he completes his appointed term. As God says in the Quran: �It is God Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and (the souls) of those that die not during their sleep. He keeps those for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed.� (Quran 39:42) And: �It is God Who takes away the souls at night, and has knowledge of all that you have done by day, and raises you up again that a term appointed be fulfilled; then will you be returned unto Him. Then He will inform you of all that you used to do.� (Quran 60:60) �The term appointed� denotes the numbered days of our lives, already known and confirmed by God. The word �to take away� is a promise made by God to Jesus which God will do when His messenger is threatened by disbelief. The Quran informs us that He told Jesus: �Indeed I will take you (away) and lift you up to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve�� (Quran 3:55) Thus we have a promise of God fulfilled when he saved Jesus from crucifixion, and another that will be fulfilled when He returns Jesus to earth and he completes his life here - a promise confirmed in the revelation given to Mary at the annunciation: �God gives you tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be Jesus Christ, son of Mary, held in honor in the world and in the hereafter, and one of those who are nearest (to God). He shall speak to the people in infancy and when middle-aged[2], and shall be of the righteous.� (Quran 3:45-46) Since middle-aged is older than the early thirties, this prophecy concerns his speaking to the people after his return. So this second promise (that everyone will believe in him before he dies) concerns his second mission when he descends to earth again. When he arrives, he will be the same age as he left, and then he will live for another forty years.[3] The Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, said: �There is no prophet between me and him (Jesus), and he shall descend. He� will stay in the world for forty years; then he will die and the Muslims will offer the funeral Prayer for him.� (Abu Dawood, Ahmed) The return of Jesus will be close to the end of time. In fact, his descent will be one of the major signs the final hour is due. The Quran discloses that: �He (the son of Mary) shall be a known sign of the Hour; so have no doubt concerning it and follow Me.� (Quran 43:61) His appearance will be followed by only two or three other unmistakable portents. Among these are the appearance of the beast[4], the wafting of the believers from the earth[5], leaving only disbelievers behind, and the rising of the sun from the west.[6] The ten major signs, among which is the second coming of Jesus, are summarized in one hadeeth:[7] �The Hour will not come until you see ten signs: the smoke; the False Messiah; the Beast; the sun rising from the West; the descent of Jesus son of Mary; the Gog and Magog; and three tremors - one in the East, one in the West, and one in Arabia, at the end of which fire will burst forth from the direction of Aden and drive people to the place of their final assembly.� (Ahmed) May God save us from disbelief and preserve us from being among those who witness the final moments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMNbsub8mfE |

Is his name Jesus Christ or isa? Misrepresentation .... even in the name of the Holy Prophet! the writings of the Fathers and historians in the early centuries , and we read them : Epiphanius in the writings of the second century AD : Epiphanius, Bishop of Salamis: "They who believe on Christ were called iessaei before they were called Christians. These derived their constitution from the significance of the name Iesus, which in Hebrew signifies the same as Therapeutae, that is, saviour or physician." www.wisdomworld.org/setting/thegnostics.... Epiphanius says that the early followers of Christ had their name (issaei) Many say that these are also the (essenes) He says that this name is purported to be the name of iesus ( as pronounced in Greek ) , which means a doctor or a savior in Hebrew ( and Hebrew at the time of Christ was the Aramaic ! Shows this flaw in the definition of many books for parents , especially when describing the Gospel of Matthew Aramaic , which he called the other ( Hebrew) ) ! ! .. This means that the name of Christ iesus means the doctor or the Savior ! ! It is known that the language of Jesus was Aramaic ! ! When I moved the names of the Aramaic into Greek changed ( do not know about the Greek ) , such as: Barnabas ( Laramie ) became Barnabas ( Baleonana ) And we go back Hecmaflo iesus name from the Greek to Aramaic ( the language of Christ ) again to those who are supposed to be iessa ( Isa ) ... and this also shows the keyword iessaei Someone may come and say : You are an impostor ! ! How assume a name without a guide ? ! ! I tell him : Esberabivanius says that the meaning of iesus is a doctor or a savior , says it was similar to a word Therapeutae Does that mean iessa doctor Aramaic ? ? ? To see! ! Most simplicity , you can use this dictionary type and the physician ( doctor) and will give you the meaning and pronunciation of the word in Aramaic letters etymology www.peshitta.org/lexicon/ Let's try and look ! ! Word: 0ys0 Lexeme: 0ys0 Root: 0s0 Word Number: 1628 Meaning: physician Pronunciation: (Eastern) AaSYaA (Western) AoSYoA Part of Speech: Noun Gender: Masculine Person: Number: Singular State: Emphatic So again AaSYaA dialect pronunciation Eastern ? It may be the name of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him is derived from the word doctor Asia ... it is not surprising it was the miracles of Jesus are all in the field of medicine ! ... What cut removes all doubt is what will come , God willing, one of the scientists say manuscripts Aalghemranih 5 - and read in the encyclopedia and Kibdia the following: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essenes According to a controversial view put forward by Dead Sea Scrolls Scholar G�za Vermes, both Josephus and Philo pronounced the essenes name as "Esaoin", which means in Arabic followers of "Esa", which Vermes says is the name of Jesus according to the most ancient mosaic portrait found in Turkey dated 70 AD which says underneath "Esa our Lord". According to the word ( brief symbolizes ) World of the Dead Sea manuscripts says : That according to the reported Josephus and Philo that the name is Alasnnin esaion and says he means to follow Jesus in Arabic ( Issaon ) He says that what it asserts is the oldest trace Mousavi ( the oldest ever ) and finder in Turkey dates back to the year 70 AD ( the oldest manuscripts of the New Testament !) It is a plates written on it ( our Lord Jesus ) .... It was Salva before the discovery of these paintings he has claimed many of the imams delusion that the name iessaei or esaion mentioned in the books of Philo and Josephus and Epiphanius but it is the name ascribed to a place called essa and of course did not specify where this place and how they knew this Almkananma is indisputable Balbatlualve detect falseness is the emergence of these paintings discovered and written under the name Alchristola I can only put the strongest evidence and believe Dleilbasm of God the Merciful ( Al Imran ) [And mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GhlV1XXLxE www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPfrnxmd2xU |

The Message of Jesus The Prophets of the Old Testament such as Abraham, Noah and Jonah never preached that God is part of a Trinity, and did not believe in Jesus as their saviour. Their message was simple: there is one God and He alone deserves your worship. It doesn�t make sense that God sent Prophets for thousands of years with the same essential message, and then all of a sudden he says he is in a Trinity and that you must believe in Jesus to be saved. The truth is that Jesus preached the same message that the Prophets in the Old Testament preached. There is a passage in the Bible which really emphasizes his core message. A man came to Jesus and asked �Which is the first commandment of all?�Jesus answered, �The first of all the commandments is Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.��[Mark 12:28-29]. So the greatest commandment, the most important belief according to Jesus is that God is one. If Jesus was God he would have said �I am God, worship me�, but he didn�t. He merely repeated a verse from the Old Testament confirming that God is One. Some people claim that Jesus came to die for the sins of the world. But consider the following statement of Jesus: This is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent. I have glorified you on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.[John 17:3-4]. Jesus said this before he was caught and taken to be crucified. It is clear from this verse that Jesus did not come to die for the sins of the world, as he finished the work God gave him before he was taken to be crucified. Also Jesus said �salvation is of the Jews� [John 4:22]. So according to this we don�t need to believe in the Trinity or that Jesus died for our sins to attain salvation since the Jews don�t have these beliefs. 5. The Early Christians Historically there were many sects in early Christianity who had a range of beliefs regarding Jesus[1]. Some believed Jesus was God, others believed Jesus was not God but partly divine, and yet others believed he was a human being and nothing more. Trinitarian Christianity which is the belief that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one in three persons became the dominant sect of Christianity, once it was formalized as the state religion of the Roman Empire in the 4th Century. Christians who denied Jesus being God were persecuted by the Roman Authorities[2]. From this point onwards the Trinitarian belief became widespread amongst Christians. There were various movements in early Christianity which denied the Trinity, among the more well known of them is Adoptionism and Arianism. Dr Jerald Dirks who is an expert on early Christianity had this to say on the subject: Early Christianity was quite conflicted about the issue of the nature of Jesus. The various Adoptionist positions within early Christianity were numerous and at times dominate. One can even speculate that Arian and Nestorian Christianity might well be an extremely sizable source within Christianity today, if it were not for the fact that these two branches of Christianity, which were located primarily in the middle east and in North Africa were so similar to the Islamic teaching regarding the nature of Jesus that they quite naturally were absorbed into Islam at the beginning of the seventh century.�[3] Since there were so many sects in early Christianity, each with different beliefs about Jesus and with their own versions of the Bible, which one can we say was following the true teachings of Jesus? It doesn�t make sense that God sends countless Prophets like Noah, Abraham and Moses to tell people to believe in one God, and then suddenly sends a radically different message of the Trinity which contradicts his previous Prophets teachings. It is clear that the sect of Christianity who believed Jesus to be a human Prophet and nothing more, were following the true teachings of Jesus. This is because their concept of God is the same as that which was taught by the Prophets in the Old Testament. Jesus in Islam The Islamic belief about Jesus demystifies for us who the real Jesus was. Jesus in Islam was an extraordinary individual, chosen by God as a Prophet and sent to the Jewish people. He never preached that he himself was God or the actual son of God. He was miraculously born without a father, and he performed many amazing miracles such as healing the blind and the lepers and raising the dead � all by God�s permission. Muslims believe that Jesus will return before the day of Judgement to bring justice and peace to the world. This Islamic belief about Jesus is similar to the belief of some of the early Christians. In the Quran, God addresses the Christians about Jesus in the following way: O People of the Book, do not commit excesses in your religion, and do not say anything about God except the truth: the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was nothing more than a messenger of God, His word, directed to Mary and a spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers and do not speak of a �Trinity�� stop [this], that is better for you� God is only one God, He is far above having a son, everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him and He is the best one to trust. [4:171] Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means �submission to God� and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: �Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.� (Quran 112:1-4)[4] Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. Rather it�s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUA2Ln4jsEM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpdrcQ55Zxw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z29jFDmkoEc |

There is no need for God, a son of God, or even a Prophet of God to sacrifice himself for mankind�s sins in order to buy forgiveness. Islam refuses this view entirely. The foundation of Islam rests on knowing with certainty that nothing should we worshipped but God alone. Forgiveness emanates from the One True God; so, when a person seeks forgiveness, he must turn to God submissively with true remorse and beg forgiveness, promising not to repeat the sin. Then and only then will sins be forgiven.
---------------------------- Okay, but on what basis does God forgive sins? God is holy so sin must be repugnant to Him. How does he remain holy and forgive evil? |

One principle in the true Gospel and the Holy Koran 53. Say: "O 'Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Surah Az-Zumar Go directly to the Creator He asked for forgiveness and remorse and not to return to sin again There is no intermediary to reveal his mistakes And take an instrument for forgiveness from the church This is a particular delusion Ahmed Deedat Is it permissible for a Muslim of forgiveness and entering paradise youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsgCytbAPmw |

What if all religions are incorrect, but all contain both darkness and light, lies and truths. Perhaps consider what important is what type person you have lived to be in life, where you kind to others, loving, selfless, did you help the needy the poor. Or where you hateful, wicked, selfish, helped no one but yourselves, such is how you will be measured in judgement.
It clearly says who Jesus is, who Yehoshua is yet people deny it, he is the Christ the Messiah the Savior. If people are so clearly told by God this is his real Son and God calls his Son God, and gives him all power, is it not then wise to accept his Son and follow the example he showed when properly discerned understanding that in translating of scriptures people can error also. Calling him just a prophet and not even following his example makes a person a hypocrite. What if Allah can now refer to the Son of God depending on how a person views it, would you still reject his other names like Jesus and Yehoshua. What if Allah can refer to God or Devil depending on how a person views what Allah is and same can be said for the other names. |

Either Macoooo is wrong or the Quran is wrong because the Quaran says the Christian Injeel / Christian Gospels are correct. S. 19.30, S. 3:3, Sura 5:46 Sura 19:30. And the Injeel / Christian Gospels are clear. Jesus was crucified for the sins of mankind. |
