Islam, Jesus' death and also the Bible... This almost sounds like a mathematical equation. For me, an enthusiastic practitioner of inter faith dialogue with Arab Muslims, this equation is quite scientific. Each factor in the equation has its significance and place. By IslamI generally speak of everything is written about Jesus from the Quran; though I'm careful to realize that there is sometimes quite a big difference between what is written inside the novel and what the religion of Islam can teach. Of note, the Muslim perspective of Jesus intentionally resisted Christ's death and crucifixion. By the Bible I talk of the Remainder of the narrative.
That is, what's written about Jesus' death in the Bible. Putting all these pieces together is one way of contributing men to the facts of God's Gospel.
This equation, Islam, Jesus' death and the Bible is a road map. In speaking with Muslims my aim isn't to argue or be proven right. My aim will be always to lead men for the Living Christ and His truth. Discussing the main topic of Jesus' death and resurrection are central to the message, but before plunging into the touchy subject with Muslims I found off the common ground present in everything is discussing (Jesus) Isa in the Quran, especially, what's written concerning his departure.
Time does not permit a complete treatment of this essential subject within this brief article. Yet, two of the chief verses that I point to're discussed . Bear in Mind,
Let us quickly examine two leading Quranic verse coping with Jesus' death. Remember there are other verses from the Quran which signature on the subject.
Behold! Sura 3:55
You'll observe that the English translation of this verse makes no mention of Jesus' departure. This is both unfortunate and convenient. In actuality, the Arabic word, mutawafeek, that obviously says"I will cause one to perish", has been interpreted"raise thee to myself" in the English translation. Any Arabic speaker will instantly know that this. Allah, talking about this verse,'' said that He'd induce Jesus to die. The significance of this is clear. Why was Allah lying? God forbid. Were He puzzled? This really is an easy spring board to lead one by the Quran to the reality of the Bible says about Christ's passing. The next verse Will Follow this exactly and reads as follows:
Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit,'worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; also I had been a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to everything. Sura 5:117
This time the word is tuwafaytany. I only ask Arab Muslims what this Arabic word means literally.
So, we have Islam, Jesus passing... the next phase is to present the Bible. The Bible contains the rest of the story of Christ's death and revival. Many Muslims have now been introduced to the Bible and Christ, Himself, employing this very simple equation; Islam, Jesus' death and the Bible. I hope you'd continue to study this essential subject and be encouraged to use this tool as well.
Some take issue with this particular and some flat out reject it. I think of it as job security.
Consider it, Jesus' name in Islam is not merely Isa. Observe:
"Behold!
He's a Word from Allah,'' Isa, Son of Mary, the Messiah, eternally held in honour and of those closest to God. This is a much more positive demonstration of Jesus' name in Islam than is usually presented by opponents of the name Isa. Within my experience, many Muslims do not know why His birth from the womb of the Virgin Mary is significant. Most don't know the fact of this"Word became flesh and lived among us". Additional while most Islamic scholars know and admit the countless mentions of Jesus Christ in the Quran, they hardly know what the definition of messiah means.
Much like many believers around the entire world, my heart beats into glorify God and allow Him to use me to lead Muslims into the Savior.
I have actually used the Arabic word for Jesus' name that is used at the Arabic translation of the Bible,"Yesua" in talking Christ together with Muslims. Most, if not most, have never heard this name. That's ok, I guess. When I use Isa, however, there's instantaneous appreciation. It lets certain preconceived items to take place in men's heads. Naturally, I know there are also wrong notions regarding Jesus in men's thoughts, but this is going to be true if I take the time to spell out Yesua may be the Isa of the Quran as well.
I've asked this question of several Muslims. After discussing Christ more fully, a number conclude that Christ's disclosure, the Injil, that we understand because the Gospel, may indeed be able to assist them. Yes, even the Muslim perspective of God and also the Muslim perspective of Jesus differ from the Religious views. We understand this, however. Simply stating the most obvious and requiring comprehensive acceptance of a foreign vocabulary and religious mindset will not move men toward Christ. Finding common ground, but does proceed men closer to God.

As Mary's title in Islam, Miriam, refers to precisely the same May, mother of Jesus, at the Bible, therefore too Isa, Jesus name in Islam, refers to this Jesus of the Bible. I encourage all to never let this become a obstacle, but to know what the Quran says about Jesus and to continually be about our Father's business.
