Recent questions
Why do Muslims engage more in discussions about Jesus and the Bible?
Muslims often engage in discussions about Jesus and the Bible because these topics are of significant interest to them. They frequently inquire about Jesus Christ and the Bible, seeking to understand the Christian perspective on these central figures and texts. Pastor Gary, who engages with Muslims at Speaker's Corner in London, advises always asking Muslims about Jesus being God and the Bible being the word of God. Muslims are drawn to videos and oral discussions rather than written materials, making these topics more accessible and engaging for them. Additionally, Muslims often challenge Christians about the Trinity and Jesus' divinity, leading to in-depth conversations about these theological concepts.
How do Muslims view Jesus in relation to God?
Muslims view Jesus in relation to God as a significant figure but not as divine. While Muslims believe in Tawheed, the Oneness of God, they do not find the term in the Quran. Pastor Gary uses relational arguments to explain the Trinity and the concept of God having a son to Muslims, emphasizing Jesus as the Son of God inheriting everything the Father does, making Him divine. However, Muslims often challenge Christians about Jesus being the Son of Man, claiming He is merely human. Despite this, Jesus asserts His divinity multiple times in the Bible, including using God's name, Yahweh, in John 8:58, which signifies His divine nature.
What historical evidence supports Jesus' crucifixion?
Historical records, including those from Greek and Roman historians like Tacitus and Josephus, confirm Jesus' crucifixion under Pontius Pilate's authority during Tiberius' reign in 33 A.D. Eyewitnesses like John and Mary, who knew Jesus intimately, were present at the crucifixion and recognized him on the cross. These accounts, along with Jesus' words on the cross and his subsequent appearances to his disciples, confirm his identity and purpose. Despite Muslims rejecting the crucifixion, the historical and eyewitness evidence contradicts this belief, providing substantial support for the crucifixion of Jesus.
How was the Quran compiled and standardized?
The Quran was compiled and standardized through a series of processes initiated by Uthman, the third caliph, in the 7th century. After discovering discrepancies in various Quran versions, Uthman requested the rewriting of the Quran in the Quraishi dialect by Zaidi bintabid and three others. Dialectic differences in Arabic posed a challenge due to the absence of diacritical marks and vowelizations at the time. Uthman ordered all other Quran manuscripts to be burned to eliminate conflicting versions and had multiple copies made from the rewritten Quran to be sent to nine provinces. This standardization process led to the adoption of the Huff's text as the official Quran text in Cairo in 1924 and globally in 1985, ensuring uniformity and consistency in the Quran's text.
What challenges exist regarding the authenticity of the Quran?
Challenges regarding the authenticity of the Quran arise from various factors, including the absence of 7th-century Quran manuscripts and discrepancies in early versions. Carbon dating of Quran manuscripts, like the Birmingham folios, predating Muhammad's life, raises doubts about their authenticity. Muslim scholars Dr. Tal Uttakulich and Dr. Ekman Nissan ALU conducted forensic testing on six seventh-century manuscripts in 2002, finding discrepancies among them and with the modern Quran text. The standardization of the Huff's text in 1924 and 1985 further complicates the narrative, as over 4,000 variants within the manuscripts challenge the traditional belief in the Quran's eternal nature and unchanging text. These challenges prompt a reevaluation of the Quran's early history and the process of its compilation and standardization.
