19:16 And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.
19:17 And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.
19:18 She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah ."
19:19 He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy."
19:20 She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"
19:21 He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' "
19:22 So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.
19:23 And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten."
19:24 But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.
19:25 And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.
19:26 So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.' "
19:27 Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.
19:28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."
19:29 So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"
19:30 [Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.
19:31 And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive
19:32 And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.
19:33 And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."
19:34 That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.
19:35 It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.
19:36 [Jesus said], "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path."
He did indeed sir. I think one of the most Godly men I have ever known, in Texas, was an Ex Muslim from Iran. What a pillar of faith he was.
The Koran was written to justify invasion and looting of neighboring countries. Don’t take offense. It’s garbage.
The tale is written to put many things about Mary, what she does, where she goes, what she says, and what G-d says, into the social culture of Arabia and the theology of Islam. Notice also that Joseph is totally left out, maybe because a single woman without a husband is more convincing to Arab-Muslim sentiments than a married woman with a Jewish husband.
But to a larger extent the tale is written to placate Christians, as if to say, “see we Muslims also ‘believe’ in Yeshua and his mother, Mary”. THAT is 100% of the purpose of the inclusion of tales of Mary or Yeshua in the Quran.
The vast majority of Muslims do NOT read the Quran because
And they give up and believe what they are told.
Ditto for what they are told about Christianity - and their "Jesus" is a fictional character, not the real Jesus, Lord, God and Savior
Exactly. And THIS is what Muslims have in mind when you want to talk to them about Jesus.
So it is important for us as Christians to point out that the Quran’s “Jesus” is a fictional character and is not the real Jesus
Exactly, because the word “Islam” means “submission” — it does not mean “peace” (which is salaam) and the religion does not promise peace - rather it says that when Islam has conquered all there will be “peace” - meaning submission
The Koran offers a fun house mirror to several parts of the Bible, both Old and New Testament. It’s good for Christians to understand what Muslims have been told to believe and their lack of understanding of what the Bible actually says.
Knowledge is a good thing.
Exactly, thank you. We’re coming up on the 19th. anniversary of that horrible day on Friday of this week. I lost friends on that day so this kind of stuff really pisses me off.
Friday. The day Muslims go to the mosque. You can imagine in mosques every where they’re not going to be lighting candles for those who were murdered on 9/11.
And BTW this Friday is the 19th. anniversary of 9/11. Friday is the Muslims go to the mosque.
You don't think these devil worshiping demons are going to be lighting candles in memory of those who were slaughtered that day, do you?
“Ex Muslim.. Thank you for the distinction. There is no “Muslim Jesus’’. There isn’t anywhere in the Bible in any of the Old Testament, The New Testament, The Acts of The Apostles or anywhere in the Bible that mentions Islam, Allah, or Mohammed.
What an incredible loss when he died.
Islam is one of the most evil force’s on earth. One day, its power will be broken, maybe at the Ezekiel 38, 39 war.
If religion were the opiate of man kind than Islam is heroin.
I believe we will have a much clearer picture of what happened on 9/11 in the future. Donal J Trump also lost many friends on that day. He personally witnessed the devastation and loss of life.
