Wait - Muslims Love Jesus? What Nobody Told You
Share
✔️ Isa (AS) = Jesus - We say "alayhi salam" (peace be upon him) every time
✔️ 5 Elite Prophets - Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad (PBUT)
✔️ Virgin Birth - Only Jesus and Mary have entire Quran chapters
✔️ Second Coming - He’ll return to kill the Antichrist (Dajjal)
✔️ Muslim ≠ New - All prophets submitted to God (i.e., were "Muslim")
1. “But I Thought Muslims Hated Jesus?!”
Spoiler: We love him more than fruit at an iftar. Here’s why:
- Quran mentions him 25 times (vs. Muhammad’s 4)
- We name sons ‘Isa’ (Arabic for Jesus)
- Hadith says he’s coming back to restore justice
2. Bible vs Quran: The Jesus Edition
| Topic | Christianity | Islam |
|---|---|---|
| Virgin Birth | ✅ (Luke 1:34-35) | ✅ (Quran 19:20-21) |
| Crucifixion | Died for sins | Swapped with lookalike (Quran 4:157) |
| Divinity | God incarnate | Human prophet (Quran 5:72) |
| Second Coming | Returns in glory | Kills Dajjal (Sahih Muslim 2937) |
The Injeel (Gospel) was revealed to Jesus—but humans edited it like bad fanfiction.
3. Jesus’ Superpowers (Yes, Really)
Islam says Isa (AS):
👶 Spoke as a baby to defend Mary’s purity (Quran 19:29-33)
🕊️ Breathed life into clay birds (Quran 3:49)
👨⚕️ Healed the blind & resurrected the dead (Quran 5:110)
Fun Fact: Mary (Maryam RA) has a whole Quran chapter - more than any woman in the Bible.
4. “But the Quran Copied the Bible!”
Actually:
- Gospels were written 40-100 years after Jesus by anonymous authors
- Quran was verbally preserved for 1,400+ years (millions have memorized it)
- Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was foretold in the Bible (Deuteronomy 18:18, John 14:16)
Challenge: Read both cover-to-cover. Spoiler: One’s math adds up (cough 1 God ≠ 3).
5. Why This Matters for Muslims Today
- Common ground: Build bridges with Christians using shared love for Jesus
- Dawah tip: Lead with "Did you know we await Jesus’ return too?"
- Avoid: Trinity debates. Instead ask: "Why did Jesus pray to God if he was God?"
