Death on The Cross? — Page 1
حم الله الرو الاخير نحملة وَانْصَلَى عَلَى رَسُوله الكريم. In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Ever Merciful. The Birth of Jesus. Strangely enough, the three great religions of the world Judaism,. Christianity and Islam are at variance with one another in regards to both the birth and the death of Jesus Christ, who was born among the. Jews. The Jews declare his birth to be illegitimate and they are guilty of uttering a grievous calumny against Mary, mother of Jesus. They declare him to be a misfit to "enter the congregation of the Lord" because of his illegitimate birth, God forbid. The Christians on the other hand, believe that Jesus Christ was born without the agency of an earthly father and that he was the Son of God Himself. This shows that both the Jews and the Christians have gone to the opposite extremes as regards to the birth of Jesus. The Muslims on their part believe that Jesus was born without the agency of an earthly father, but he was not the Son of God. A fatherless birth may be a strange incident but it is not unnatural. There have been cases in medical history where innocent virgins have given birth to babies. . Even Adam, the progenitor of the modern human race is unanimously believed by the three great religions of the world, to be born without the agency of either father or mother. The Muslims believe that Jesus was a true prophet of God. His birth without the agency of man has nothing to do with his sonship or his divinity. He was human, pure and simple. Jesus invariably calls himself the 'Son of man' in the New Testament. 1
