crucifixion in the Quran

Jul 31 2017

Shabir Ally, Adnan Rashid and the Crucifixion in the Qur’an.

The crucifixion of Jesus in Islam is a controversial issue as there is no single and unanimous interpretation of the verse of the Qur’an that narrates this event.

While Adnan Rashid holds to the fact that Jesus was never killed nor crucified, Shabir Ally on the other hand believes that Jesus was actually crucified, but his death was not brought about through the nailing on the cross, rather was rescued.

Interestingly, the prophet of Islam himself had nothing to say on this confusing issues among Muslims today, and this given birth different theories, assumptions and conflicting conclusions as well.

Watch this video as the two popular Muslim apologist struggle to make their view more authentic in the midst of others. Watch the video below to see how the two Scholars present their views on the crucifixion which is obviously contradictory, the question most Muslims will ask is, which is the most correct view?

How the Qur’an Disqualify Muhammad as the Comforter Jesus Promised.

The topic of the Comforter that Jesus promised is not new within the Christian Muslim communities, in fact, for those involved in dialogue and apologetics within the two faith, namely Christianity and Islam, the topic of the Comforter is an aged one.

However, my observation over the period of time is, whenever this topic is being discussed, neither the Christian nor the Muslim speaker usually make reference to the Qur’an as to show why Muhammad was not the Comforter, could this be because the comforter was promised in the Bible alongside his characteristics as well?

So, I keep asking myself, is the Qur’an really silent on this subject, and what I discovered was contrary to my long held believe. The Qur’an actually has something to say about this, and we shall examine this in this article.

Before we take a look at the stand of the Qur’an on this matter, some Muslims in the academic circle have recognized how it is painfully obvious that Muhammad cannot be referred to as the comforter Jesus promised. More

is jesus a son or servant of god

Is Jesus A Son or a Servant: A Close Look at Acts 3:13

One of the cheap argument the Muslims (not the Scholarly ones) often bring forth against the Bible is the issue of translation, and in this case, the rendition of “son” and “servant” in KJV and RSV respectively among other translations of the Bible.

Because of this difference, most of them conclude that this is a contradiction, they wonder why Jesus can be called a son and servant at the same time bearing in mind that the word “son” and “servant” does not connote the same thing.

The reason this argument keep coming up is simply due to the fact that the Muslims don’t care to look up the greek word used in that verse of the Bible, namely Acts 3:13 and 3:26, once this is done, any attempt to bring this up as a valid argument will be seen as attacking strawman and playing blind to the fact. We also understand that some Muslims who are not familiar with this are sincerely ignorant of this fact which is the reason why this article is bee written to help clear their misconception and ignorance on this subject.

Here is the verse in question from the KJV, it read thus:

The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

And the RSV render it thus:

The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.

The Muslims concludes that since the KJV and RSV could not agree on whether Jesus was a son or servant, then, it means this is a contradiction, as we shall see, this is a matter of understanding the greek words and the roles it plays in context.

The greek word used in this verse παίω “pais” pronounced “paheece”, according to the Strong’s Exhaustive Lexicon it means the following:

“a boy (as often beaten with impunity), or (by analogy), a girl, and (genitive case) a child; specially, a slave or servant (especially a minister to a king; and by eminence to God):–child, maid(-en), (man) servant, son, young man.”
