The True message of Jesus(pbuh) -In the light of the Quran

 

Allah(SWT) describes Jesus(pbuh) in no less than twenty –five different places and affirms that he is among the righteous and one of the mightiest messengers of God. Allah(SWT) in His holy book, the noble Quran also relates the story of Jesus(pbuh) from his miraculous birth to his ultimate rising. This mighty prophet set foot on this planet to deliver a divine message, the message proclaimed by all prophets preceding him, the true message of Jesus(pbuh) was the worship of one and only true God, Allah(SWT).

These valuable teachings are parables for Muslims all over the world not only because they are the teachings of the Quran and the Last and final prophet of Allah(SWT) but also because they are the teachings of Jesus(pbuh).The message is vital to all mankind and is essential.Th The source of this divine knowledge, the Quran which is the only infallible and preserved book relating the message of Jesus(pbuh).The Quran is present from fourteen-hundred years, in its original language of revelation- Arabic preserved from the time it was revealed till date. This ultimate miracle, the word of God has been memorized by millions of Muslims round the globe at every time span from when it was revealed. The copy of the Quran as read today has three replicas which are exactly the same word to word, letter to letter as the earliest copies found dating back to twenty years after the death of the prophet(pbuh).This divine guidance has been preserved from fourteen centuries can be said safely from the fact that historical records even Non-Muslim records affirm that the Quran was written down as it was revealed during the lifetime of the prophet(pbuh) and was memorized by his companions. Till today, there are no discrepancies, alterations or different versions existing of this preserved book of God. It is a book in which there is no doubt. Furthermore, to affirm it’s divine source there are no contradictions or errors in this Holy book. Not a single verse of the Quran goes against modern established science. No book written by man can ever stand the test of time and the test of accuracy.

Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy.Holy Quran Surah An nisa 4:82

Allah(SWT) makes it an article of faith for every Muslim to believe that Jesus Christ(pbuh) is one of the mightiest messenger of God. No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus Christ(pbuh).He(SWT) affirms that Jesus(pbuh) was given the Gospel as a guidance to the children of Israel. Allah(SWT) says in the Holy Quran that Jesus(pbuh) says Is Surah Ale Imran 3:51

"'It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.'"

Say: "O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah; that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah." If then they turn back, say ye: "Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will).Surah Ale Imran 3:64

Allah(SWT) has conveyed through His messenger Jesus(pbuh) that he alone is worthy of worship and Lord of all creation. He(SWT) describes the worship of any other object or being other than himself as utter injustice and a grievous sin.

In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things.(Surah Al Maeda 5:72")

Allah says in the Quran in Surah AlIkhlas 112:3 ‘He (SWT) begets not nor is he begotten’ begetting is an animal act and cannot be attributed to God. Moreover God by definition id ever –Living, with no beginning and no end. If it is agreed upon, for the sake of argument, that God had begotten a son, this ‘son of God’ would be a created being and not a God at all. God almighty does not have attribute which make Him similar to His creation in a away that signifies weakness and ungodliness on His part. Islam is also against the concept of ‘God turning into a human being’. God and His creation, man are different in their very existence. God is the creator having no beginning and no end, the ever-living without requiring a creator as He is uncreated. On the contrary, man is a created in being having a beginning and an end. He is bound by the constraints of time and space, whereas God is different from His creation by not being bound by these constraints. Therefore God cannot become man and set foot on this Earth, as it is not possible to have a being that is mortal and immortal at the same time it would be illogical. Similarly, man is dependent on worldly things for sustenance, he needs food and water to survive , needs air to breathe, shelter to live etc, in other words he is dependent on things, as for God He is independent of His creation.(Surah Al Ikhlas 112:2). It is illogical to have a being that is dependant on something as well as completely independent. A man has qualities that are distinct and cannot be attributed to God, like forgetfulness, erring, tiring, fear , etc these are definitely ungodly characteristics. The Quran is explicit in explaining the illogical nature of anthropomorphism.

O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.(Suraah An nisa 4:171)

Jesus(pbuh) preached to the children of Israel, the existence of one God and called them to worship Him alone. This was the noble work of all prophets at all times. There was no difference in the fundamental belief of any of them. Adam, Noah, Moses, Jacob, David and Jesus and the Last of them Muhammad (Peace be upon them all) preached and called their people to the worship and obedience of one God, the creator of all existing things. If God existed as three in one nature, then the message of all these prophets who were sent by god would have been this very concept. The concept speaks of the father a being, the son another different being and Holy Ghost another being all being the same being one God. We see that father is a spiritual being and the son a man has flesh and blood, they by any means show no similarity or resemblance to take up the function or characteristics of one another.If they are different in existence and function and are different all together how can they be termed as a single god. The concept clearly says that there is only one god, not three gods, it is completely baseless to argue that three entirely different beings have formed one God. Islam forbids men to adhere to such a belief.

Allah(SWT) says to all mankind through His revelation that He is one and only, He is independent of His creation, He begets not nor is He begotten and there is nothing comparable to anything. The serves as the absolute touchstone of theology, the infallible truth and definition of God almighty.
