With everything happening in our world today I believe it’s extremely important for followers of Christ to understand that in the Islam religion Isa, known as Jesus, is spoken of. There are similarities, but, there are major differences. From everything I’ve gathered about their belief these are the main points.
Islamic Jesus Similarities
Jesus was born in Bethlehem
Jesus was born of a virgin named Maryam
Jesus is blown into Maryam’s womb by the Spirit
Jesus is able to speak from the cradle
Envoys arrive with gifts from the King of the East
Jesus was a Prophet and Messenger of God
Jesus was sent to guide the Children of Israel
Jesus is described as the Messiah
Performed miracles accompanied by His disciples
Rejected by the Jewish Religious establishment
Islamic Jesus Differences
Disbelieves Jesus is the Son of God in flesh
Disbelieves Jesus was Crucified on the Cross
Disbelieves Jesus Rose on the 3rd day
Believes Jesus was a Muslim
Disbelieves Jesus is God incarnate
Disbelieves the Godhead or Trinity
Muslims believe Paul purposely corrupted the original teachings of Jesus
While these things are not an exhausted list they are enough for followers of Christ to clearly see the differences between what the Bible teaches and what the Islamic Religion teaches about their Jesus. As a follower of Christ, I know my belief is through the only Son of God, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. But the Islamic Jesus is different from the Jesus of the Bible in many serious ways. Be very careful who you decide to follow, because, the soul depends on it. And remember what the scriptures say;
Therefore everyone who confesses Me before
men, I will also confess him before My Father in
heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, I
will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
Matthew 10:32,33
