JESUS : BIOGRAPHY

ISLAM
Jesus true name was Isa bin Maryam.
Isa was the Messiah. He was
strengthened with the holy spirit. (Al-
Baqarah 2:87; Al-Maidah 5:110) He is
also referred to as the Word of Allah.
(An-Nisa 4:171)
Mariam gave birth to Isa alone in a
desolate place under a date palm tree.
(Maryam 19:22ff). (Not in Bethlehem).
Isa spoke whilst still a baby in his cradle.
(l 'Imran 3:46; Al-Maidah 5:110;
Maryam 19:19-36) He performed various
other miracles, including breathing life
into clay birds, healing the blind and
lepers, and raising the dead. (l 'Imran
3:49; Al-Maidah 5:111) He also foretold
the coming of Muhammad. (As-Saff
61:6)

CHRISTIANITY
Jesus of NazarethThe name "Jesus" is
derived from the Hebrew-Aramaic word
"Yeshua," meaning "Yahweh [the Lord] is
salvation." The name "Christ" is actually a
title for Jesus. It comes from the Greek word
"Christos," meaning "the Anointed One," or
"Messiah" in Hebrew.
While in Bethlehem, Mary gave birth to
Jesus, accompanied by Joseph. Probably
due to the census, the inn was too crowded,
and Mary gave birth in a crude stable. She
wrapped the baby in cloths and placed him
in a manger
The shepherds decided to travel to
Bethlehem (town of David) after signs given
by an angel of Lord and see the Christ-child.
There they found Mary, Joseph and the
baby, in the stable and they began to spread
the word about this amazing child, praising
and glorifying God and everything the angel
had said about him. But Mary kept quiet,
treasuring their words and pondering them in
her heart. It must have been beyond her
ability to grasp, that sleeping in her arms
the tender child she had just bornewas the
Savior of the world.

JESUS : LINEAGE

ISLAM
Ìsas mother, Mariam was the daughter of
Ìmran, (l 'Imran 3:34,35) (Maryam 19:28)
She was fostered by Zachariah (father of
John the Baptist). (l 'Imran 3:36) While still
a virgin (Al-An àm 6:12; Maryam 19:19-21)
According to another tradition people asked
Imam al-Baqir if Imran was a Prophet?
Imam replied, Yes, he was a Prophet sent
by Allah to his community. And Hanna was
the wife of Imran and Hanana was the wife
of Zakariyya . They both were sisters.
Maryam was the daughter of Hanna and
Imran while Yahya was the son of Hanana
and Zakariyya . Isa was the son of Maryam
and Yahya was the son of Maryams aunt.
So they (Isa and Yahya) both were maternal
cousins.

Matthew's account traces the line of

Though nearly identical from Abraham
to David, the two accounts are
entirely different from David to Jesus.
After David, only the names of
Shealtiel and Zerubbabel appear on

One can only reject this claim by
rejecting Gods intervention in
history, rejecting miracles,
rejecting the greatest miracle of
the resurrection of Jesus, or
rejecting God. If you reject all of
these you can only conclude
that he was a person who was

IS THIS THE FIRST EVER PORTRAIT OF JESUS? THE INCREDIBLE
STORY OF 70 ANCIENT BOOKS HIDDEN IN A CAVE FOR NEARLY
2,000 YEARS
By NICK PRYER CREATED: 17:44 GMT, 2 April 2011
The owner of the cache is Bedouin trucker Hassan Saida who lives in
the Arab village of Umm al-Ghanim, Shibli. He has refused to sell the
booklets but two samples were sent to England and Switzerland for
testing.
A Mail on Sunday investigation has revealed that the artifacts were
originally found in a cave in the village of Saham in Jordan, close to
where Israel, Jordan and Syrias Golan Heights converge and
within three miles of the Israeli spa and hot springs of Hamat
Gader, a religious site for thousands of years.
Precious: This booklet shows what scholars believe to be the map of
Christian Jerusalem
According to sources in Saham, they were discovered five years ago
(2006) after a flash flood scoured away the dusty mountain soil to
reveal what looked like a large capstone. When this was levered aside,
a cave was discovered with a large number of small niches set into the
walls. Each of these niches contained a booklet. There were also other
objects, including some metal plates and rolled lead scrolls.

JESUS :CRUCIFIXION

ISLAM
Christians and Jews have
corrupted their scriptures. (l
'Imran 3:74-77, 113)
Although Christians believe
Isa died on a cross, and Jews
claim they killed him, in reality
he was not killed or crucified,
and those who said he was
crucified lied (An-Nisa 4:157).
Isa did not die, but ascended
to Allah. (An-Nisa 4:158)
CHRISTIANITY
Jesus Christ, the central figure
of Christianity, died on a Roman
cross as recorded in Matthew
27: 32-56, Mark 15:21-38, Luke
23:26-49, and John 19:16-37.
In honor of Christ's death, the
practice of crucifixion was
abolished by Constantine the
Great, the first Christian
Emperor, in 337 A.D.
Christian theology teaches that
the death of Jesus Christ
provided the perfect atoning
sacrifice for the sins of all
mankind, thus making the
crucifix, or cross, one of the
defining symbols of Christianity.

JESUS:CRUCIFIXION(CHRISTIANITY)
http://christianity.about.com/od/biblestorysummaries/p/crucifixionstor.htm

Jesus was publicly scourged, or beaten, with a leather-thonged
whip before his crucifixion. Tiny pieces of iron and bone chips were
tied to the ends of each leather thong, causing deep cuts and
painful bruising. He was mocked, struck in the head with a staff and
spit on. A prickly crown of thorns was placed on his head and he
was stripped naked. Too weak to carry his cross, Simon of Cyrene
was forced to carry it for him.
He was led to Golgotha where he would be crucified. As was the
custom, before they nailed him to the cross, a mixture of vinegar,
gall, and myrrh was offered. This drink was said to alleviate some of
the suffering, but Jesus refused to drink it. Stake-like nails were
driven through his wrists and ankles, fastening him to the cross
where he was crucified between two convicted criminals.


The inscription above his head tauntingly read, "The King
of the Jews." On the cross Jesus hung for his final agonizing
breaths, a period that lasted about six hours. During that
time, soldiers cast lots for Jesus' clothing, while people
passed by shouting insults and scoffing. From the
cross, Jesus spoke to his mother Mary and the disciple
John. He also cried out to his father, "My God, my God, why
have You forsaken Me? (??????)
At that point, darkness covered the land. A little later, as
Jesus gave up his spirit, an earthquake shook the ground,
ripping the Temple veil in two from top to bottom.
Matthew's Gospel records, "The earth shook and the rocks
split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy
people who had died were raised to life."


It was typical at crucifixions for Roman
soldiers to show mercy by breaking the
criminal's legs, thus causing death to come
more quickly. But this night only the thieves
had their legs broken, for when the soldiers
came to Jesus, they found him already dead.
Instead, they pierced his side. Before sunset,
Jesus was taken down by Joseph of
Arimathea and laid in a tomb according to
Jewish tradition.


Although both Roman and Jewish leaders could be implicated in the
sentencing and death of Jesus Christ, he himself said of his life, "No
one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have
authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This
command I received from my Father." (John 10:18 ).
There was a curtain or veil of the Temple separated the Holy of
Holies (where the presence of God dwelled) from the rest of the
Temple. Only the high priest could enter there once a year, with the
sacrificial offering for the sins of all the people. When Christ died
and the curtain was torn from top to bottom, this symbolized the
destruction of the barrier between God and man. The way was
opened up through Christ's sacrifice on the cross. His death
provided the complete sacrifice for sin so that now all people,
through Christ, can approach the throne of grace

JESUS :RESURRECTION

ISLAM
http://raza-e-khushtar.org/articles/miscellaneous-topics/the-return-of-hazrat-isa-
alaihis-salaam
The ascension to the heavens of
Prophet Is (AS) and his return to the
earth are miracles that the Holy Quran
and the Hadith reveals (Q 3:55)
Therefore, we cannot say that the early
Christians were unbelievers in the sense
and there has to be a group of
prophet Is (AS)s followers who will
exist until the Last Day. Such a group will
emerge after his second coming, and
those who follow him at that time will
dominate the unbelievers until the Last
Day.
On the day of Resurrection Isa himself will
be a witness against Jews and Christians
for believing in his death. (An-Nisa 4:159)

CHRISTIANITY
There are at least 12 different appearances of
Christ in the resurrection accounts. They were
physical, tangible experiences with Christ
eating, speaking and allowing himself to be
touched.
Jesus' resurrected body was different from
his physical body. It was no longer subject to
the same laws of nature. He could transcend
locked doors, and yet he could still be
touched and he could eat.

Before Jesus ascended into heaven he gave
the Great Commission, telling his followers to
go and make disciples of all nations.

The stone was not rolled away from the
tomb so Jesus could get out. He was able to
walk through walls (John 20:19) in his
resurrected body. The stone was rolled away
so that everyone could see that he was risen.
JESUS :RESURRECTION? in ISLAM
It is established by the authentic hadith
narrated from him by Imam Ahmad in his
Musnad and others with a chain of sound
narrators as stated by al-Haythami in Majma`
al-Zawa'id, that a certain man Salman al-Farisi
had seen in al-Qudus was actually Is ibn
Maryam

CHRISTIAN CRITICAL COMMENTS
Durie, Mark. (1999). Isa, the Muslim Jesus. Retrieved http://www.answering-islam.org/authors/durie/islamic_jesus.html:111

Is was not an historical figure
The Qurans Isa is not an historical figure. His identity and
role as a prophet of Islam is based solely on supposed
revelations to Muhammad over half a millennium after the
Jesus of history lived and died.
Jesus name was never Is
Jesus mother tongue was Aramaic. In his own lifetime he
was called Yeshua in Aramaic, and Jesu in Greek. This is like
calling the same person John when speaking English and
Jean when speaking French: Jesu, pronounced "Yesoo", is
the Greek form of Aramaic Yeshua. (The final -s in Jesu-s is a
Greek grammatical ending.) Yeshua is itself a form of
Hebrew Yehoshua, which means the Lord is salvation.
However Yehoshua is normally given in English as Joshua.
So Joshua and Jesus are variants of the same name.


Jesus did not receive a book
According to the Quran, the book revealed to Isa was
the Injil. The word Injil is a corrupted form of the
Greek euanggelion good news or gospel. What was
this euanggelion? This was just how Jesus referred to his
message: as good news. The expression euanggelion did
not refer to a fixed revealed text, and there is absolutely no
evidence that Jesus received a book of revelation from
God.
The gospels of the Bible are biographies
The term euanggelion later came to be used as a title for
the four biographies of Jesus written by Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John, the gospels. This was a secondary
development of meaning. Apparently this is where
Muhammad got his mistaken idea of the Injil being a book


Jesus titles of Messiah and Word of God,
which the Quran uses, find no explanation in
the Quran. Yet in the Bible, from which they
are taken, these titles are well integrated in a
whole theological system.
Jesus alleged foretelling of Muhammads
coming (As-Saff 61:6) appears to be based on
a garbled reading of John 14:26, a passage
which in fact refers to the Spirit


The Hebrew scriptures were Jesus Bible. Jesus
affirmed their authority and reliability and
preached from them. From these same
scriptures he knew God as Adonai Elohim, the
Lord God of Israel. Jesus did not call God Allah,
which appears to have been the name or title of
a pagan Arabian deity worshipped in Mecca
before Muhammad. Muhammad's pagan father,
who died before Muhammad was born, already
bore the name Abd Allah slave of Allah
We read that An-Najm 53:19-23 seeks to refute
the pagan Arab belief that Allah had daughters
named al-Uzza, al-Ilat and Manat. (See also An-
Nahl 16:57 and Al-Anam 6:100).

THE HISTORICAL EVIDENCE FOR JESUS (YESHUA)
OF NAZARETH AND HIS DEATH BY CRUCIFIXION

Non-Christian sources for Jesus
Tacitus (AD 55-120), a renowned historical of ancient Rome, wrote
in the latter half of the first century that Christus ... was put to
death by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea in the reign of Tiberius:
but the pernicious superstition, repressed for a time, broke out
again, not only through Judea, where the mischief originated, but
through the city of Rome also. (Annals 15: 44).
Suetonius writing around AD 120 tells of disturbances of the Jews
at the instigation of Chrestus, during the time of the emperor
Claudius. This could refer to Jesus, and appears to relate to the
events of Acts 18:2, which took place in AD 49.
Thallus, a secular historian writing perhaps around AD 52 refers to
the death of Jesus in a discussion of the darkness over the land
after his death. The original is lost, but Thallus arguments
explaining what happened as a solar eclipse are referred to by
Julius Africanus in the early 3rd century.

THE HISTORICAL EVIDENCE FOR JESUS (YESHUA)
OF NAZARETH AND HIS DEATH BY CRUCIFIXION

Non-Christian sources for Jesus
Mara Bar-Serapion, a Syrian writing after the
destruction of the Temple in AD 70, mentions the
earlier execution of Jesus, whom he calls a King.
The Babylonian Talmud refers to the crucifixion (calling
it a hanging) of Jesus the Nazarene on the eve of the
Passover. In the Talmud Jesus is also called the
illegitimate son of Mary.
The Jewish historian Josephus describes Jesus
crucifixion under Pilate in his Antiquities, written about
AD 93/94. Josephus also refers to James the brother of
Jesus and his execution during the time of Ananus (or
Annas) the high priest.

JESUS IN GNOSTIC CHRISTIANITY

GNOSTIC CHRISTIANITY
http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/books/nhl.pdf

Gnosticism (for catholic christians) was a second
century heresy claiming that salvation could be
gained through secret knowledge. Gnosticism is
derived from the Greek word gnosis, meaning "to
know.
Among these early followers of Christ, an elite
group delineated themselves from the greater
household of the Church by claiming not simply
a belief in Christ and his message, but a "special
witness" or revelatory experience of the divine.
It was this experience, this gnosis, which--so
these Gnostics claimed--set the true follower of
Christ apart from his fellows

GNOSTIC CHRISTIANITY

Gnostic writings are extensive. Many so-called Gnostic Gospels are
presented as "lost" books of the Bible, but in fact did not meet the criteria
when the canon was formed. In many instances they contradict the Bible.
(http://christianity.about.com/od/glossary/a/Gnosticism.htm)
these Gnostic Christians held a "conviction that direct, personal and
absolute knowledge of the authentic truths of existence is accessible to
human beings, and, moreover, that the attainment of such knowledge
must always constitute the supreme achievement of human life (Stephan
A. Hoeller, The Gnostic Jung (Wheaton, Ill., 1982), p.11.
Professor of Harvard University notes that though ultimately this Gospel
was condemned and destroyed by the evolving orthodox church, it may
be as old or older than the four canonical gospels preserved,and even
have served as a source document to them. (Helmut Koester, "Introduction
to The Gospel of Thomas", in NHL, p. 124 f..)


The Gospel of Thomas, one of the Gnostic
texts found preserved in the NAG HAMMADI
LIBRARY, gives these words of the living Jesus:
Jesus said, Ì am not your master. Because
you have drunk, you have become drunk
from the bubbling stream which I have
measured out... (Gospel of Thomas, 35.4-7, NHL)


GNOSTICS WERE DIVIDED ON JESUS. One view
held that he only appeared to have human form
but that he was actually spirit only. The other
view contended that his divine spirit came upon
his human body at baptism and departed before
the crucifixion.
Christianity, on the other hand, holds that Jesus
was fully man and fully God and that his human
and divine natures were both present and
necessary to provide a suitable sacrifice for
humanity's sin.
that the views expressed in the QURN are
closer to the Gnostic Apocrypha ("things put
away" or "things hidden) than to the
CANONICAL GOSPELS, and
That Is has more in common with the
Manichean Jesus than the Jesus of Nazareth
whose life, death, resurrection and divinity
are detailed in the Gospels and confirmed by
the early Christian creeds.
http://www.know-
britain.com/islam/isa_jesus_islam_christianity.ht
For Manicheans, salvation is mainly about
liberating the Light Sparks within ourselves from
the Illusion of Matter.
This process of liberation is composed of three
elements:
1) Worship God and not Creation (this means not
worshiping Christ as if He were the Divine Source)
2) Get rid of all worldly attachments since the world
is illusion and our true Home is beyond the
material world.
3) Cultivate virtue.
http://digitalarchive.webapp.org.uk/manichaean/shamon/maniandchristianity.pdf

CONCLUSION
Needless to say, such a portrayal of IS IN ISLAM is very
different from, and quite opposed to, that of JESUS CHRIST OF
THE NEW TESTAMENT AND CHRISTIAN HISTORY.
But, in the name of Christian-Muslim dialogue, an increasing
number of so-called Christian scholars are willing to water
down the Christan faith and choose Is to be the authentic
Jesus.
In their eagerness to seek a common ground between the two
faiths, or in order to appease the Muslim side, they are
producing a new Jesus who is stripped of all his unique
attributes: his deity, incarnation, passion, crucifixion,
resurrection, redemptive mission and universal lordship.
This is denying the very heart of the Christian faith and
reintroducing the old heresy of Arianism, which caused so much
damage to the Church in the past. Such stripping of Christianity
of its essentials renders any Christian-Muslim
dialogue extremely dangerous and utterly meaningless.
