Jesus - His Titles

Though Jesus is mentioned by name in twenty-five places in the Holy Quran, he is also addressed with respect as: Ibn Maryam, meaning "The son of Mary"; and as the Maseeh (in Hebrew it is the Messiah), which is translated as "Christ". He is also known as Abdullah, "The servant of Allah"; and as Rasul u Allah, the messenger of Allah.

monoslayer SG

they regard him as a prophet leh.. certainly not the messiah..

i thot its allah?

Superbus SG

From my understanding in Islam, Jesus Christ or Nabi Isa a.s will descend from Heaven and together with Imam Mahdi, will fight the Antichrist before the coming of the Qiyamat.

monoslayer SG

allah is their god.. messiah means saviour.. different one..

fudgester SG

Exactly on the dot.

We believe that before the end of times, there will be turmoil following the death of a Khalifah until the Imam Mahdi takes over the Caliphate. With the rise of the Dajjal(Antichrist), the Imam Mahdi will raise an army to fight him and his followers. Then one day Jesus (peace be upon him) will descend from Heaven and kill the Dajjal.

After the death of the Imam Mahdi, Jesus will then rule over the Muslims not as a prophet but as a Khalifah who will lead the Caliphate. He will then face the armies of Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog).

About the part about Jesus being the messiah... I don't have enough information right now to give a full answer. Can I get back to you later on this?

Any other Muslims here... please correct me if I got the facts wrong.

laoda99 SG

no problem.....i am just surprised by ahmed deedat's claim.

Master -_- SG

it's all in ur quote.. it's a translation....

Maseeh aka Al Masehi when translated mean Messiah.

Like the rest, Jesus will arise together with Imam Al Mahdi come armageddon

laoda99 SG

watch the video links which i posted...

admed deedat says he agree with the Christians that Christ is the messiah, which surprised me.

yes in the Quran there are many verses that claims ‘Isa (Jesus) peace be upon him was in fact the `Messiah’. and that he was of miraculous conception and birth without human father, Jesus, peace be upon him, did miracles, healed the sick, cured the blind and even brought a dead man back to life, by the permission of Allah.

iveco SG

Not only that. Jesus returned from death on Easter Sunday and ascended into Heaven 40 days later.

OneDoubleManTayar SG

the Quran doesn't say that. in chapter 4 verse 156-159 the Quran says

4:156-159 "That they rejected Faith; That they uttered against Mary A grave false charge; That they said (in boast): 'We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah.' But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjunction to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up Unto Himself; and Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise. And there is none of the people of the book (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (Jesus) Before his death; And on the Day of Judgment He (Jesus) will be a witness Against them."
