Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mary and Jesus in Islam Introduction Before we go into a detailed discussion of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him and his virtuous virgin mother, let us highlight the major differences between Christianity and Islam. In the next chapter, these differences will be itemized and discussed. The Church has taught that Jesus is the Messiah whom the Jews were expecting but whom they rejected, accusing him of being born of fornication: “You dishonour me.

Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and He will be the judge.” (John 8:49-50). In 4:155-156, the Holy Qur'an condemns and curses all those who blasphemed the honour of Mary.

Islam accepts Jesus son of Mary as the Masih, advocating the prophecy of Christ and recognizing his virgin birth as one of his miracles, even calling him the “Word of Allah.” It defends his mission and reproaches all those who rejected it, endorsing the original Bible[^1] as a revelation from the Almighty to him.

Islam does not preach that Jesus was crucified or killed but did ascend to heaven.[^2] Many Christians regard Jesus as a deity and worship him [^1] “Bible” is a Greek word which means “books.” The original Bible, which was written in Aramaic, mother tongue of Jesus Christ, was lost. John, Mark, Matthew and Luke rewrote it from memory, putting a great deal of their own personal views in it, thus altering the original pristine message brought by Jesus.

[^2] Jesus is not the only one who is believed to be alive and living in heaven. Enoch (Idris) is also believed to be alive. Both al-Khidr and Imam al-Mehdi, peace be upon both of them, are believed to be alive and living on earth. (38) as a god, addressing him as “Lord,” a title fit only for the Almighty God. But they differ a great deal among themselves with regard to his deification, yet they all certainly regard him as much more than a human being.

They call him “the son of God, part of the Trinity.” The Unitarian Church[^1] stresses the Unity of God (what Muslims call Tawhid), and the fact that Jesus was a human being. For this reason, it is not considered “Christian” and is not a member of the Federal Council of Churches, nor is it a member of any church federation. Islam repudiates in the strongest of terms the divinity or deity of Jesus Christ and the concept of the Trinity.

The Christian doctrine preaches that Jesus died voluntarily, nailed to the cross, in order to atone for mankind's sins.
