Published by Merry Christmas everyone.
As I see so many posts about Jesus and Christmas, I also thought to tell you about my thoughts of Jesus son of Mary as I am a Muslim. I believe Jesus is a man and was born from Mary with the will of Allah.
Mary (may Allah’s peace be on her and on her son Jesus) was a chaste woman and was untouched by men. She bore Jesus as her son by the will of Allah. Jesus is NOT son of God. Allah is high above from having a son or a daughter or a wife or a mate. Allah sent us Prophets so they show us the path.
There is nothing equal to Allah. Allah alone is our Lord.
We Muslims accept Jesus as one of our Prophets. Our leader Prophet Muhammad (may Allah’s peace with on him and on his family) said that “all the Prophets are like brothers and Jesus is the closest one to me.” He showed his two fingers, the pointing finger and the middle finger, saying that Muhammad and Jesus are like these two fingers that are very very close. Muhammad is the best man that has ever been created and Jesus is the second best man. They are higher than all other prophets and men.
Mother of Jesus is the best woman that has ever been created and “she is above all women” says the Qur’an, higher than our Prophet Muhammad’s wives who are the mothers of believers. We respect and love Mary as the highest and the best woman of the human kind.
May Allah have peace on all our Prophets and the good women and men of the world.
Jesus son of Mary is a man and he, as a Prophet made many miracles. His birth brought peace to the world as Allah says in the Qur’an about what Jesus says “peace to the day I was born and peace to the day I am be raised.”
Jesus did not die. He was taken by Allah and is protected until he returns. Allah also says in the Qur’an to the Prophet Muhammad that he should tell believers that we should believe in our Prophets and we should also “listen to Jesus when he talks.”
As-salam aleykum (Peace on all of you).
