Extracts from Christ in Islam By Ahmed Deedat
JESUS - HIS TITLES
Jesus is also addressed with respect as:”Ibne Maryam” - son of Mary; as Masih - (Heb) Messiah - translated as Christ; “Abd-ullah” - servant of Allah; “Rasul-ullah” -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 honour spread over fifteen different chapters. The Holy Quran honours 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.
“EESA” LATINISED TO JESUS
The Holy Quran refers to Jesus as “Eesa”, and this name is used more times than any other title, because this was his “Christian” name. Actually, his proper name was “Eesa” (Arabic), or “Esau” (Hebrew); classical “Yeheshua”, which the Christian nations of the West Latinised as Jesus. Neither the “J” nor the second “s” in the name Jesus is to be found in the original tongue - they are not found in the Semitic languages.
MOTHER AND SON-- MARY HONOURED
Reading from the beginning of his birth, we come across the story of Mary, and the esteemed position which she occupies in the House of Islam, before the actual annunciation of the Birth of Jesus is given:
BEHOLD! THE ANGELS SAID: “O MARY! GOD HATH CHOSEN THEE AND PURIFIED THEE -CHOSEN THEE ABOVE THE WOMEN OF ALL NATIONS” - Holy Quran 3:42
SURA MARYAM
There is a Chapter in the Holy Quran, named Süra Maryam “Chapter Mary” (XIX) named in honour of Mary the mother of Jesus Christ (pbuh); again, such an honour is not to be found given to Mary in the Christian Bible. Out of the 66 books of the Protestants and 73 of the Roman Catholics, not one is named after Mary or her son. You will find books named after Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Paul and two score more obscure names, but not a single one is that of Jesus or Mary!
THE GOOD NEWS
BEHOLD! THE ANGELS SAID:“O MARY! GOD GIVETH THEE GLAD TIDINGS OF A WORD FROM HIM:
HIS NAME WILL BE CHRIST JESUS THE SON OF MARY HELD IN HONOUR IN THIS WORLD AND THE HEREAFTER AND (OF THE COMPANY OF) THOSE NEAREST TO GOD: - Holy Quran 3:45
Whilst the good news was being announced (verse 45 above) Mary was told that her unborn child will be called Jesus, that he would be the Christ, a “Word” from God “HE SHALL SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE IN CHILDHOOD AND IN MATURITY. AND HE SHALL BE (OF THE COMPANY) OF THE RIGHTEOUS.” - Holy Quran 3:46
CHALK AND CHEESE
The most fervent Christian cannot take exception to a single statement or word here. But the difference between the Biblical and the Quranic narratives is that between “chalk and cheese”
I know that in their essentials both the stories agree in their details, but when we scrutinise them closely we will discover that the difference between them is staggering.
The Holy Quran also contains a verse which fittingly describes this well-cultivated sickness -
DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND, THEY WILL NOT RETURN (TO THE PATH). - Holy Quran 2:18
