Download or read book The Crucifixion and the Qur an written by Todd Lawson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to examine the controversial Qur'anic phrase which divides Christianity and Islam. According to the majority of modern Muslims and Christians, the Qur'an denies the crucifixion of Jesus, and with it, one of the most sacred beliefs of Christianity. However, it is only mentioned in one verse - 'They did not kill him and they did not crucify him, rather, it only appeared so to them' - and contrary to popular belief, its translation has been the subject of fierce debate among Muslims for centuries. This innovative work is the first book devoted to the issue, delving deeply into largely ignored Arabic sources, which suggest that the origins of the conventional translation may lie within the Christian Church. Arranged along historical lines, and covering various Muslim schools of thought, from Sunni to Sufi, "The Crucifixion and the Qur'an" unravels the crucial dispute that separates the World's two principal faiths.

Download or read book Islam Saves Jesus written by Mohamed Moussa Ghounem and published by Muslim School. This book was released on 2022-12-17 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: True Love Christian: Is it True that Muslims Love Jesus Ten Times More than Christians? Muslim: Yes, Islam Teaches Unconditional Love For Jesus Christ. Modern Christianity Obliviously, Selfishly, and Impulsively Teaches Hate Towards the Original Jesus Christ. Christian: How Does Christianity Teach Hate towards Jesus Christ Compared to Islam Loving Jesus? Christians Love Jesus Because Christ Died on the Cross For us! Muslim: The Ten Ways Muslims Love Jesus Compared to Christians Hating Christ are: 1) Islam Teaches Jesus Was Not Murdered, Christians Need Jesus to have been Killed Like a Guilty Criminal Needing Someone Innocent to Take Their Crime. Muslims Love Jesus so we Accept Our Own Sins and Don’t Teach Murdering Someone Innocent For Our Own Debt to Our God. Would You Murder a Rich Relative Because of Selfish Greed For Their Wealth Or Would You Take Responsibility For Your Own Poverty and Love the Relative? Christian: Wow, insisting Jesus was Murdered so that Christians Are Not Responsible For Their Sins is Selfish. But Didn’t Jesus Voluntarily Die For Our Sins So Anyone Who Accepts Christ As Their Savior Would Go to Heaven? Muslim: Jesus Spent 33 Years Avoiding Death. Since Birth, Jesus Christ Moved to Egypt and Hid from Jews Trying to Kill him. Even When Caught On the Cross Jesus Begged God to Save him. Jesus Happily and Lovingly Wanted to Live As Islam Teaches. 2) Suicide is a Sin In Every Religion, Islam Teaches that Jesus Did Not Allow himself to be Killed On the Cross. It is Hateful to Say Jesus Sinned by Killing himself On the Cross. Islam Loves Jesus By Teaching he was Not Suicidal. Christian: If Christianity Teaches Jesus Committed Suicide and We Are Supposed to be Like Christ, Does that Means Christians Should Commit Suicide? Mohamed Ghounem 4 Muslim: The Original Jesus did not Teach Suicide. Islam Lovingly Restores the Original Message of Jesus Christ. Only One Entity Would Insist On Christ Dying to be disconnected from the Commandments of God: Satan. 3) Islam Lovingly Saves Jesus From Satanism. Christians Naively Spread the Deceptive Teachings of the Devil by Saying Jesus Was God and God Died and We No Longer Have to Obey the Laws of God because of God’s Death. Christian: The Two Groups Who Want the World to Believe that God Died so We are Free From the Laws Our Creator are: Demons and Christians? Muslim: Yes, Since Humans Were Created, Satan has been trying to Deceive us and Get us to Disobey the Laws of God. 4) A Fourth Way Muslims Love Jesus More than Christians Is Respecting the Original Teachings of Jesus, Being Compliant to the Laws of God as Jesus Was. Thus Muslims are More Christ Like, Displaying More Love to Jesus Than Christians. Christian: The Bible is Not Central to the Christian Faith so Not Obeying the Laws in the Bible is not Evil or Hateful towards Jesus. We Still Love Jesus Without the Bible Laws. Muslim: If You Love Jesus, then You Want to Learn About Jesus from the Words of Jesus himself, not Your Parents or Preacher… Can You Say You Love Ice Cream without ever tasting Ice cream? If You Say You Love College without Reading Any of the Books Or Passing Any of the Classes, then You Can Make the Claim to Love College But in fact You would be a Failure. If You Truly Love College, then You would Do Your Best to Study and Pass the College Classes. This is the Difference of the True Love Muslims Have for Jesus compared to Christians. It is Immaturity to Love College without being a College Student, just as Loving Jesus without being a disciple of Christ. Christian: Jesus is a Jew, how Can You Love Jesus if Muslims Hate Jews? P a g e | 5 5 Muslim: Jesus was actually a Muslim: “One who Submits his Will to God” Muslims have Loved Jews for Centuries, with the exception of the most recent century’s geo-political conflict with Israel. Jesus was Sent to the Jews and according to Islam, was Successful, but Christianity Teaches Jesus was a Failure: 5) Islam Loves Jesus More than Christianity Because Jesus Is a Proven Messiah in the Holy Quran Whereas Jesus is a false, convicted, and murdered man in the Bible. Islam Saves the Entire Mission of Jesus For Jews, Whereas Christianity Repels Jews by Claiming Jews are Christ Killers and that Jesus was a flesh god. Christian: Jesus Proved to Be God by Coming Back to Life after Being Dead for 3 Days. Muslim: Neither Jesus or God died for a minute or an hour or a day or half a week, God Can Not be Killed, and God Saved Jesus. Furthermore, Coming Back to Life After Assumed Death is Not Proof of Divinity Because there Are Multiple humans in the Bible who Died and Came Back to Life. 6) To Insult Jesus as a flesh god from the perspective of Monotheists is the same as sentencing Jesus to Death. This is What Led Jews to Crucify Jesus. Islam Loves Jesus More than Christians By Stating Jesus was not a flesh god, thus Saving Jesus from Murder. Christian: Jesus Says He is God in the Bible! Muslim: If You Base Your Faith on Jesus Being God, and the Central Basis of this Claim is the Bible, then the Bible is Central to your Faith. Since the Bible is Central to Christianity, the Majority of Verses in the Bible that Say Jesus is Not God Should Be Equally Adhered. 7) Muslims Love Jesus More than Christians Because We Do Not Claim Jesus is a Liar. The Original Language of Jesus is Aramaic, When the Bible was Translated to Other Languages, there were Many Translation Errors, that Have Jesus Contradicting Himself. Christians Pick and Chose the Self Serving Verses in the Bible then Claim the Bible Mohamed Ghounem 6 is not Central to Christianity when Verses are Presented in Contradiction to Modern Christian Divinity or Salvation Compared to What the Original Jesus Taught. Islam Saves the True Teaching of Jesus and Does not Put the Pagan Greek Translations into the Mouth of Our Loved Jesus. How Can You Say “Jesus Will Save You if You Know Jesus” When You Don’t Even Know Jesus and In Fact Teach Hating the Original Christ? Christian: It Seems From Your Perspective that Christians Really Hate Jesus! Muslim: Most Christians Innocently Hate Jesus. Their Intention is Loving Jesus but Their Impulsive Self Serving Thoughts and Actions Are Actually Hateful to Jesus. Some Christians Actually Intentionally Use Jesus as a Symbol of Hate. 8) Islam Saves Jesus from White Supremacists. Muslims Love Jesus More Than Christians Because We Don’t Use Christ As a Symbol of Hate. From the Crusaders to the Nazis to the Modern KKK, Christ is the Central Figure Used to Hate or Kill Everyone who Doesn’t Appear Like Christ. Islam Saves Jesus from These Hate Followers by Not Associating a Color to Christ and Teaching All Colors Are Equally Loved. Christian: Islam is a Religion of Terror and Muslims Are Terrorists! Muslim: Islam is a Religion of Love, We Respect and Understand Your Opinions. We Understand You Were Raised Your Entire Life Hearing and Seeing on the News Selective Coverage of Christians and Muslims and We Understand You were Only Taught Selective Verses from the Bible. 9) Many Christians Who Were Raised Learning About the Modern Jesus instead of the Original Jesus and Taught to Have a Bias Towards Islam, Become Atheists. The Reason For Their Atheism is threefold: A) With the Advent of the Internet, Christians Got an Onslaught By Skeptics and Are Presented With the Numerous Translation Errors. B) Without Obeying the Laws of God, Christians Are In Essence Taking Steps Away from God, thus God Takes Steps Away from Christians. P a g e | 7 7 C) With Christians Being Raised Believing All Other People and Religions Are Inferior, then they Feel No Alternative Other than Atheism. Islam Saves Jesus from Leading his Believers into Atheism. Islam Breathes Loving Faith Back into the Original Jesus so the Followers of Christ Can Remain Believers of God. Furthermore, It Can Be Interpreted By Modern Bibles That Jesus Suffered Atheism, On the Cross Christ Cried To God “Why Have You Forsaken Me?” Islam Loves Jesus More than Christianity Because Islam Teaches Christ Was Not Forsaken and Did Not Suffer Death, Thus Not Suffering from Atheism. Christian: All Humans Are Sinners and All Sins Are Equal and the Only Way to Cleanse our Sins is With the Sinless Blood of Jesus. No Human Can Be Perfect Except Jesus, that is Why We Need Jesus! Muslim: Both the Bible and Public Society Prove that All Sins Are Not Equal. There Are Dozens of Laws in Both the Bible and in Modern Civilization and the Redemption of these Various Laws Differ Greatly From Either A Fine Spanning All the Way to Death. It’s Agreed that No Human is Perfect, Only God is Perfect, But Cleansing the Sins, Paying Your Debt to Society and God for the Sins Is Possible and Has Been Done For Thousands of Years Without the Blood of Jesus. 10) Islam Saves Jesus From Pessimism Associated to Christ that Humans Cannot “Try” to Be Righteous. It is Hateful For Christians to Teach that All sins, whether Small or Large, Can Not be Forgiving by Our Loving God without the Blood of God. Islam Teaches that God is More Loving to Humans and Jesus By Stating that God is Forgiving For Many Sins in Easy Ways, Not Requiring Blood. As In Society, Some Infractions Are Forgiven With a Minor Fine. Also, Some Humans Spend Their Entire Life Obeying the Laws and Do Not Get Any Fines or Arrests or Having to Serve Any Time. Thus Islam Saves Jesus from the Illegal Claim that All Crimes Are Equal and the Bleak Cynicism that Humans Can’t Do Their Best to Obey the Laws and the Cruel Hateful Accusation that God Can Not Forgive Any Sins Without the Blood and Murder of Christ. God and Islam Are More Loving than That. Mohamed Ghounem 8 Christian: What Specific Evidence do you have On the Ten Ways Muslims Love Jesus More than Christians? Muslim: Yes, We Appreciate Your Time in Learning the Historical and Scriptural Proof that Muslims Love Jesus Ten times More than Christians

Download or read book The Islamic Jesus written by Mustafa Akyol and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2017-02-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A welcome expansion of the fragile territory known as common ground.” —The New York Times When Reza Aslan’s bestseller Zealot came out in 2013, there was criticism that he hadn’t addressed his Muslim faith while writing the origin story of Christianity. In fact, Ross Douthat of The New York Times wrote that “if Aslan had actually written in defense of the Islamic view of Jesus, that would have been something provocative and new.” Mustafa Akyol’s The Islamic Jesus is that book. The Islamic Jesus reveals startling new truths about Islam in the context of the first Muslims and the early origins of Christianity. Muslims and the first Christians—the Jewish followers of Jesus—saw Jesus as not divine but rather as a prophet and human Messiah and that salvation comes from faith and good works, not merely as faith, as Christians would later emphasize. What Akyol seeks to reveal are how these core beliefs of Jewish Christianity, which got lost in history as a heresy, emerged in a new religion born in 7th Arabia: Islam. Akyol exposes this extraordinary historical connection between Judaism, Jewish Christianity and Islam—a major mystery unexplored by academia. From Jesus’ Jewish followers to the Nazarenes and Ebionites to the Qu’ran’s stories of Mary and Jesus, The Islamic Jesus will reveal links between religions that seem so contrary today. It will also call on Muslims to discover their own Jesus, at a time when they are troubled by their own Pharisees and Zealots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians are often surprised when they hear Muslims say, "We believe in Jesus too, and we hold Him in great esteem." But what do they really mean? Are the Muslim Jesus and the Christian Jesus the same person? Immersed in the Islamic worldview as the son of a devout muezzin—mosque leader—Emir Caner helps readers untangle two very different belief systems. He and John Ankerberg take on the tough questions: What role does Jesus have in Islam? What does the Qu'ran say about Him? What does it not say? Why are Muslims repulsed by the idea that Jesus is the Son of God, fully God and fully man? What do Muslims have in mind when they acknowledge Jesus as virgin-born? How can Christians discuss these belief differences without insulting Muslim friends and acquaintances? A concise, authoritative guide for informed Muslim-Christian interaction.

Download or read book Islam s Jesus written by Zeki Saritoprak and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Accessible and readable. Spotlights an important theological theme in a way that both illuminates its internal development in Islamic thought and presents it as a helpful basis for interreligious discussion. The topic is very much in need of teaching and discussion and is a fine example of ‘common ground.’”—John Renard, author of Islam and Christianity “Contains valuable and fascinating material about how classical Muslim theologians treated various aspects of Jesus and, in particular, the role of Jesus in Islamic eschatology. Saritoprak brings new insights from contemporary Turkish thinkers to bear on the issues raised by the Jesus figure in Islamic narratives about the Last Days.”—Marcia Hermansen, author of Shah Wali Allah’s Treatises on Islamic Law “A refreshingly easy read that makes a complex world of theology and interfaith relations accessible and enjoyable for readers of all backgrounds.”—Jonathan Brown, author of Hadith: Muhammad’s Legacy in the Medieval and Modern World Few people realize that Jesus was a prominent messenger of God in Islam and that Muslims believe in the return of Jesus. Even among Muslims, it is not well known that there are diverse interpretations of references to Jesus in the Qur’an and the Hadith. Aiming to remedy this, Islam’s Jesus takes a bold yet candid look at the highly charged topic of Jesus’s place in Islam, exploring some of the religion’s least understood aspects. Examining multiple intellectual traditions, Zeki Saritoprak makes clear the reality of pluralism in the history of Islamic religious scholarship. Actively engaged in efforts to promote interfaith dialogue and harmony, Saritoprak thoughtfully argues that the shared belief in Jesus presents an excellent opportunity for understanding between Muslims and Christians. Together, they constitute more than half of the world’s population, and such understanding may be a foundation for peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Challenge of Islam to Christians is David Pawson's most important and perhaps his most sobering - prophetic message to date. Moral decline and erosion of a sense of ultimate truth have created a spiritual vacuum in the United Kingdom. Pawson believes Islam is better equipped than the Church to move into that gap and it is far more likely to become the country's dominant religion in the future. This book unpacks and explains the background behind Pawson's claims. and - crucially - sets out a positive blueprint for the Church's response. Christians must rediscover and demonstrate to society the three qualities that make Christianity unique: Reality. Relationship and Righteousness. This book is essential reading for all Christians.

Download or read book Answering Jihad written by Nabeel Qureshi and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus Nabeel Qureshi—a former Muslim—comes his deeply personal, challenging, and respectful answer book to the many questions surrounding jihad, the rise of ISIS, and Islamic terrorism. San Bernardino was the most lethal terror attack on American soil since 9/11, and it came on the heels of a coordinated assault on Paris. There is no question that innocents were slaughtered in the name of Allah and in the way of jihad (meaning warfare against the enemies of Islam, in this case). But do the terrorists' actions actually reflect the broader religion of Islam? The answer to this question is more pressing than ever, as many Muslim refugees are still migrating to the West, seeking shelter from the violent ideologies of ISIS, Al-Qaida, and other radical Islamic groups. Setting aside speculations and competing voices, Qureshi explores the answers to difficult questions like: What is Islam, and is it a religion of peace or violence? Is there a clear definition and doctrine of jihad? How are we to understand jihad and radical expressions of Islam in relation to our Muslim neighbors and friends? Why is there such a surge of Islamist terrorism in the world today, and how should we respond? How does jihad compare with Old Testament calls to warfare? In Answering Jihad, bestselling author Nabeel Qureshi answers these urgent questions from the perspective of a former Muslim who is deeply concerned for both his Muslim family and his American homeland.

Download or read book Revelation Rationality Knowledge Truth written by Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad and published by Islam International Publications Ltd. This book was released on 1998-06-30 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any divide between revelation and rationality, religion and logic has to be irrational. If religion and rationality cannot proceed hand in hand, there has to be something deeply wrong with either of the two. Does revelation play any vital role in human affairs? Is not rationality sufficient to guide man in all the problems which confront him? Numerous questions such as these are examined with minute attention. All major issues which intrigue the modern mind are attempted to be incorporated in this fascinatingly comprehensive statute. Whatever the intellectual or educational background of the reader, this book is bound to offer him something of his interest. It examines a very diverse and wide range of subjects including the concept of revelation in different religions, history of philosophy, cosmology, extraterrestrial life, the future of life on earth, natural selection and its role in evolution. It also elaborately discusses the advent of the Messiah, or other universal reformers, awaited by different religions. Likewise, many other topical issues which have been agitating the human mind since time immemorial are also incorporated. The main emphasis is on the ability of the Quran to correctly discuss all important events of the past, present and future from the beginning of the universe to its ultimate end. Aided by strong incontrovertible logic and scientific evidence, the Quran does not shy away from presenting itself to the merciless scrutiny of rationality. It will be hard to find a reader whose queries are not satisfactorily answered. We hope that most readers will testify that this will always stand out as a book among books – perhaps the greatest literary achievement of this century.
