Dear Jeevan For you,
The Christian does not know that the true spirit of charity which the Muslim displays,always, towards Jesus and his mother Mary spring from the fountainhead of his faith - the Holy Quran. He does not know that the Muslim does not take the holy name of Jesus, in his own language, without saying Eesa, alaihi assalam ("Jesus, peace be upon him") The Christian does not know that in the Holy Quran Jesus is mentioned twenty five times.
Though Jesus is mentioned by name in twenty-five places in the Holy Quran, he is also addressed with respect as:
Ibn Maryam, meaning "The son of Mary"; and as the Maseeh (in Hebrew it is the Messiah), which is translated as "Christ". He is also known as Abdullah, "The servant of Allah"; and as Rasul u Allah, the messenger of Allah. He is spoken of as "The Word of God", as "The Spirit of God", as a "Sign of God", and numerous other epithets of honor spread over fifteen different chapters. The Holy Quran honors this mighty messenger of God, and the Muslims have not fallen short over the past fourteen hundred years in doing the same. There is not a single disparaging remark in the entire Quran to which even the most jaundiced among the Christians can take exception." 'Behold!' the angels said: 'O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word
from him: his name will be Jesus, the son of Mary; held in honor in this world
and the hereafter; and (of the company of) those nearest to Allah." (3:45)
"Nearest to God," not physically nor geographically, but spiritually. Compare this with
"And (Jesus) sat on the right hand of God." (Mark 16:19). The bulk of Christendom has misunderstood this verse as well as many others in the Bible. They imagine the Father (God) sitting on a throne, a glorified chair, and His Son, Jesus, sitting on His right hand side. Can you conjure up the picture? If you do, you have strayed from the true knowledge of God. He is no old Father Christmas. He is beyond the imagination of the mind of man. He exists. He is real, but He is not like anything we can think of, or imagine.
In eastern languages "right hand" meant a place of honor, which the Holy Quran more fittingly describes as "In the company of those nearest to Allah." The above verse confirms that Jesus is the Christ. and that he is the Word which God bestowed upon Mary. Again, the Christian reads into these words, a meaning which they do not carry. They equate the word "Christ" with the idea of a god-incarnate; and the "Word" of God to
be God. Muhammad (pbuh)
the Messenger of God, is made to absolve Jesus from the false charges and calumnies of his enemies. "And He (God Almighty) hath made me (Jesus) kind to my mother, and not overbearing or unblest" (19:31).
On receiving the good news of the birth of a righteous son Mary responds:
"She said: 'O My Lord! how shall I have a son, when no man hath touched me?"
The angel says in reply:
"He said: 'Even so: Allah (God) createth what He willeth: when He hath
decreed a matter He but sayth o it 'Be,' and it is! And Allah (God) will teach
him the Book and Wisdom, the Torah (Law) and the Gospel," (3:47-48).
Now compare the miraculous conception as announced in verse 47 of the Holy Quran with what the Holy Bible says:
"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph,
before they came together, (as husband and wife) she was found with child of the holy ghost."(Matthew 1:18) The eminent Billy Graham from the United States of America dramatized this verse in
front of 40,000 people in King Park, Durban, with his index finger sticking out and
swinging his outstretched arm from right to left, he said:
"And the Holy Ghost came and impregnated Mary!"
On the other hand St. Luke tells us the very same thing but less crudely. He says, that when the annunciation was made, Mary was perturbed.Her naturalreaction was :
"How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" (Luke 1:34) meaning sexually.
The Quranic narrative is:
"She said: O my Lord! how shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?"
(3:47)
meaning sexually. In essence there is no difference between these two statements "seeing I know not a man" and "when no man hath touched me". Both the quotations have an identical meaning. It is simply a choice of different words meaning the same thing. But the respective replies to Mary's plea in the two Books (the Quran and the Bible) are revealing.
Says the Bible:
"And the angle answered and said into her : 'The Holy Ghost shall
come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee" (Luke 1:35) Can't you see that you are giving the atheist, the skeptic, the agnostic a stick to beat you
with? They may well ask "How did the Holy Ghost come upon Mary?" "How did the
Highest overshadow her?" We know that literally it does not mean that: that it was an
immaculate conception, but the language used here, is distasteful.
Now contrast this with the language of the Quran:
"He said (the angel says in reply): 'Even so: Allah (God) createth what He
willeth: when He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!' "
(3:47)
This is the Muslim concept of the birth of Jesus. For God to create a Jesus, without a
human father, He merely has to will it. If He wants to create a million Jesus' without
fathers or mothers, He merely wills them into existence. He does not have to take seeds and transfer them, like men or animals by contact or artificial insemination . He wills everything into being by His word of command "Be" and "It is".
Between these two versions of the birth of Jesus, the Quranic version and the Biblical version, which would you prefer to give your daughter? Mr. Thomas Mathai? I expect your earliest reply.
How can "a forgery" or "an imitation", as it is alleged of the Quran, be better than the
genuine, the original, as it is claimed for the Bible? It can never be, unless this Revelation to Muhammed(peace be upon him) is what it, itself, claims to be viz. The pure and holy Word of God! There are a hundred different tests that the unprejudiced seeker after truth can apply to the Holy Quran and it will qualify with flying colors to being a Message from on High.
Thks & Regards
Hyder.

"യേശുക്രിസ്തു താന് ദൈവമാണ് എന്നോ തന്നെ ആരാധിക്കണമെന്നോ പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുള്ളതായി ബൈബിളില് എവിടെയെങ്കിലും ഉണ്ടോ? ഇല്ലെങ്കില് പിന്നെ എന്തുകൊണ്ടാണ് നിങ്ങള് യേശുവിനെ ദൈവമായി ആരാധിക്കുന്നത്? ഈസാമസിഹ് ഒരു പ്രവാചകന് മാത്രമല്ലെ? ദൈവത്തെയല്ലേ നാം ആരാധിക്കേണ്ടത്" - മുസ്ലിം സ്നേഹിതര് പലപ്പോഴും ചോദിച്ചിട്ടുള്ള - ചോദിക്കാറുള്ള - ഒരു പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട ചോദ്യമാണിത്.
ബൈബിളില് നിന്ന് തന്നെ ഇതിന്റെ ഉത്തരം കണ്ടുപിടിക്കേണ്ടത് അത്യാവശ്യം തന്നെ. മാത്രമല്ല ബൈബിള് വിശ്വസിക്കുന്ന - യേശുക്രിസ്തുവിനെ ദൈവമായി ആരാധിക്കുന്ന -ഓരോ ക്രിസ്ത്യാനിയും പഠിച്ചിരിക്കേണ്ട പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട ഒരു വിഷയവുമാണ് - അതായത് യേശുക്രിസ്തുവിറെ ദൈവത്വം തെളിയിക്കാമോ?
യേശുക്രിസ്തുവിനെക്കുറിച്ച് ഖുറാന് നല്കുന്ന സാക്ഷ്യവും വിശുദ്ധ ബൈബിള് നല്കുന്ന സാക്ഷ്യവും വ്യത്യാസമുണ്ട്. അതായത് ഖുറാനിലെ ഈസാ മസീഹും ബൈബിളിലെ ക്രിസ്തുയേശുവും പൊരുത്തപ്പെടുത്താനാവാത്ത പ്രത്യേകതകള് ഉള്ള രണ്ടു വ്യക്തികള് ആണ്.
യേശുക്രിസ്തുവിനെക്കുറിച്ച് ആധികാരികവും സമ്പൂര്ണവും വ്യക്തവുമായ വെളിപ്പാടുകള് നല്കുന്നത് വിശുദ്ധ ബൈബിള് മാത്രമാണ്. അതുകൊണ്ട് യേശുക്രിസ്ത്വിന്റെ ദൈവത്വം മനസിലാക്കണമെങ്കില് വിശുദ്ധ ബൈബിള് അതിനെക്കുറിച്ച് എന്ത് പഠിപ്പിക്കുന്നു എന്ന് മനസിലാക്കിയാല് മതി.
പ്രവാചകവാക്യങ്ങള് അഥവാ പഴയനിയമകാല വെളിപ്പാടുകള്, യേശുക്രിസ്തുവിന്റെ വാക്കുകള് അഥവാ അവകാശവാദങ്ങള്, യേശുവിന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തികള്, അപ്പോസ്തലന്മാരുടെയും മറ്റുള്ളവരുടെയും സാക്ഷ്യങ്ങള് എന്നിവയുടെ വെളിച്ചത്തില് 'യേശു ക്രിസ്തുവിനെ ദൈവത്വം' എന്നാ ഉപദേശരൂപത്തെ തെളിമയോടെ അവതരിപ്പിക്കുകയാണ് പ്രഭാഷകന് ഡോ. ജോണ്സന് തേക്കടയില് ഈ സന്ദേശത്തില്.
