THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha, 16th day of Muharram. (Tuesday, 24th of August 2021). *_JESUS CHRIST peace be upon him WAS MENTIONED 25 TIMES in the QURAN SO JESUS is the GREATEST_*. BismilLah.
I guess many of you do get some of these assuptions from non Muslims right? A video was sent to me with such claims and I've spent some time to respond in full whoever is interested can request for the full response but to respond to this one I can say that
The no. of times a person is mentioned by name does not in and of itself make the person great. Also note that we Muslims believe in Jesus Christ peace beuponhim and part of our belief system is that he was a Muslim as all he did was based on ALLAH commands and support. Moses peace be upon him was mentioned by name 136 times in the Quran. Does that make him the greatest? EVEN Pharoah, the worse enemy of ALLAH was mentioned by name 74 times in the quran. So can it also be concluded that pharoah is greater than Jesus Christ who is mentioned by name 25 times?
Now please understand that Jesus was at the center of so many controversies: the some considered him to be a 'bastard' and an imposter. Some christians regard him as God and/ or son of God while others regard him as a prophet. So there was the need for clarification on his status. Hence, the Quran, being the final revelation, was sent down to set the records straight. It therefore becomes imperative to mention Jesus by name anytime issues concerning him are being addressed in order not live any room for doubt, confusion and speculation about who is being spoken about. The personality of Prophet Muhammad, on the other hand, was not entangled in this kind of confusion. So he was only mentioned by name to establish that he is indeed the prophet and messenger of God.
It is surprisng some one will make this assuptions and say Jesus is God....Chapter 4:171...where the spirit from God is mentioned.....it mentioned that Jesus is no more than a messenger of ALLAH...it mention that we should believe in ALLAH and HIS messengers ....it cautions us not to say Trinity....it tells us ALLAH is One God....so why the assuption that Jesus is God cuz he is a spirit from God...the critics jux cherry pick phrases from the Quran and subject them to the kind of logic they have been doing to their Bible. Even in chapter 3: 38-39 of the Holy quran...Yahya ( John the Baptist) is also referred to as Kalimatuallah....that is word of ALLAH.
Infact if u read chapter 3:45-51 the place where Jesus is referred to as word FROM ALLAH!...the verse 51 reads ""It is ALLAH Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship HIM. This is a Way that is straight." *_May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
