Facts about Jesus in the Quran:
•Mentioned by name more than Prophet Muhammad (sa)
•Attests to his virgin birth, miracles, sinlessness, & that he was Messiah
•Prophecies his second coming
•Muslims accept Jesus as part of our faith
We have more in common than many think!❤️ I hope all who celebrate have a blessed day today with loved ones.

@QasimRashid Peace and love to you and your family. ✨
@QasimRashid Merry Christmas Quasim, and best wishes for a blessed and prosperous New Year! I wish more of us could and would enjoy what we share in common. Someday, I hope.
@QasimRashid Thank you for sharing this Qasim. 26 years ago Muslim people came from across Dhahran, Saudi Arabia to save American lives. People remember the bombing of Khobar Towers, but they fail to acknowledge it was locals that provided all of the ambulances and most of the medical care. I apologize for being off topic, but your post reminded me of the sweet people who cared for us.
@QasimRashid
Thanks Qasim!
Hope you and your family have a lovely day and stay warm!
@QasimRashid Thank you for this and for all you do! A blessed Christmas and New Year to you and your family1
@QasimRashid this always boggles my mind that Christians don’t know this. I guess they are too busy putting the Christ back in ….
@bysteveguthrie @QasimRashid constant efforts to separate the People of the Book from each other ...shine the Light.
@bysteveguthrie @QasimRashid They are too busy saying "Judeo-Christian", when it's actually we Jews who have no positive scriptural reference to Jesus and do not regard him as anything!
@chemoelectric @bysteveguthrie @QasimRashid
Exactly! Or as you look at it from the other side; it's an effort to get legitimacy just like Judeo-Christian argument. Because the rest of the book says how men have corrupted the book and god had to send a new, final, uncorruptible one and anyone who is not following this new one should be invited to, by force if necessary and still not is going to hell. Which is not any different in any religion.

@alper @bysteveguthrie @QasimRashid

The term looks entirely different if you render it ‘Christo-Judaism’, even though that should mean the exact same thing. It wouldn’t fly.

@QasimRashid thank you! And warmest wishes to you 🙏

@QasimRashid
I didn't know the Quran recognized Jesus as Messiah. I always thought Muslims believed Jesus was "just" a prophet.

We believe he was also divine, and I think that's unique to Christianity among major religions.

@LockeLiberal1 @QasimRashid

But not all of Christianity does. There are the Unitarian branches that acknowledge him as a great, special, divinely inspired human teacher — but do not accept the doctrine of the Trinity, nor his divinity. And Jehovah’s Witnesses as well. I believe there may be others.

@McPatrick @QasimRashid

Of course.

But, those exceptions prove the rule. From the Gospels to the earliest creeds, the scandle of Christianity is the divinity of Christ; it is the stumbling block for Jews and Muslims alike, as it seems inconsistent with monotheism.

@LockeLiberal1 @QasimRashid

Ironically, that axiom uses an older sense of “prove”a than is common now. Prove as in *tests*, not as in reveals to be true.

I’ll just leave this with the observation that early Christianity is far, far more varied and complicated a story than most people have any inkling of.

@McPatrick @QasimRashid

What percentage of Christians do you think say that Jesus was not divine? 1% of the 2.4 billion? 5%?

Many non-trinitarians, like the LDS, say Jesus is divine, just not co-equal with God. That was Origen's view too, IIRC.

Your objection seems like a case of "well, actually..." and not on point for the discussion of differences between Islam and Christianity's view of Jesus.

@QasimRashid Thank you, Qasim, for the beautiful thoughts and thoughtful post. Very best to you and your friends and family as well.
@QasimRashid salaam, from our house to yours
@QasimRashid My wife had the tough job of solving the "Happy Holidays" problem for hospitals in one of the most diverse cites in the world. Here was her solution. Even witches get a shout-out.
@QasimRashid
Merry Christmas to you too. We all have so much in common, we all need to work on that idea, it is good.
@QasimRashid Enjoy the holidays 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@QasimRashid Thank you. I did not know that.

@QasimRashid years ago I did a word search of the Koran. The person whose name was use most frequently: Mary.
@QasimRashid
True we as Muslims love Jesus
@QasimRashid the Quran is just fan fiction of the christian mythology, so this isn't surprising.
@QasimRashid My characters celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah and (at a different time in the year) Ramadan.

@QasimRashid I love to read about Jesus’s birth as told in the Koran. Truly beautiful.
@QasimRashid All religions are mental illness.
@QasimRashid something about this doesn't sit well with me. It hits me as trying to substantiate Islam by making comparisons to Christianity.
@QasimRashid Almost none of the responses to this post are negative, and even the couple that are are mild. On Twitter, you would have been flooded with bigotry. Mastodon is better.
@msbellows @QasimRashid I like to think I hang out with good people.

@msbellows @QasimRashid PS: I truly hope it stays this way. Twitter became The Two-Minute Hate.
