Will Jesus be buried next to Muhammad in Medina?

thoughts on “Will Jesus be buried next to Muhammad in Medina?”

1. Good day…I have a problem with the Quran…I have to concede that I am not at all versed in this book, but if one even find one contradiction,that is enough for reserve… One such contradiction is right here:… ‘He will destroy the Antichrist…’. How can the Antichrist be important to Islam if Islam don’t except the CHRIST? The other:…’Allah will perish all religions except Islam’. How can the faith based on JESUS be destroyed and then HIM having reverence for Islam later? How can the Jews be destroyed if the prophecies about them is not done? SHALOM…Wilbur.

   1. The Antichrist in Islam is known as ad dajjal… The coming of Antichrist is one of the major signs of Qiyamah or the Day of Judgement… It is prophesized that Jesus Christ will return to earth and fight the anti christ. Islam does accept Jesus, son of Mary ( not son of God) as one of our prophets. We believe he did not die on the cross, but was raised to the heavens by Allah.

Original bible doesn’t say Christians or Christ it’s esah or yeshua and the people were called essaiy or yeshuai and for opposite of esah it be the dajjal you didn’t find a translation of that so people of time kept it anti Christ.

   5. Jesus said I have not come to start a new religion but I have come to fulfil the old one ( there is no reason to say that Jesus Christ created Christianity ) the Jewish where given the promised land but because they abused the Torah they where exiled it is they that betrayed Jesus Christ the saviour!!!!!! Even if all proof was to be put infringe upon humanity you would not believe it to be true!! You have no ethnicity does the Torah teach to kill they neighbour and steal their possessions and land and unjustly condemned to death? Are not going to be judged will you never die ? What answer will you give on the day of judgement when you meet your creator?

   7. Islam believes that Jesus is the Masi (Arabic) or Mashiya (Hebrew), translated Kristos (Greek), further translated as Christ (in English), which means ‘Anointed One’. Islam, however, does not believe he is the Son of God or divine. Quran says, “Lam yalid walam yulad” that is “He (God) neither begets nor is begotten”

       1. Hello Masroor,
          The title “Christ” refers to Jesus’ death on the cross, His resurrection from the dead, and His ascension to heaven. Jesus’ disciple Peter confessed Jesus as the Christ in Matthew 16:13-23 and Jesus explained this title to Peter in terms of His death and resurrection. Later, Peter wrote,

          1 Peter 1:3
          “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead”

          Peter preached that Jesus is the Christ in terms of Jesus’ death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension,

          Acts 2:22–36 (See also Psalm 2)
          “Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.
          This man was handed over to you by God’s set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
          But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
          David said about him: “ ‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
          Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope,
          because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
          You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.’
          “Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.
          But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.
          Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay.
          God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact.
          Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
          For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” ’
          “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

          I invite you to read the Christian Scriptures, which refer to Jesus as “Christ” more than 500 times.

       Firstly the sentence about Jesus son of Mary killing the Antichrist is from Hadith, I.e. the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is not from the Quran.

       Secondly “Antichrist” when mentioned in Islamic prophecies is a translation of “Dajjal”, which means a great deceiver. It is usually translated as “the Antichrist” because this is what he (dajjal) has been called in English, as mentioned in Christian prophecies. Christ means the “annointed one”, which refers to Jesus. Islam accepts Jesus as a prophet of God. Therefore there is nothing contradicting Islam’s teachings in calling Jesus “Christ”. Islam only prohibits calling him God or son of God.
       “Dajjal” and “Antichrist” thus means someone who will deceive people to believe that he is on the straight path (the path of Jesus and other prophets), but will in fact be against the true teachings of Jesus (I.e. he will be anti-Christ),

       Thirdly in the prophecies it is mentioned that “Jesus/the Messiah/Christ” will come and defeat the Antichrist. For this reason also he is called Antichrist, since he would fight Jesus in the latter days.

       As for the sentence “Allah will perish all religions other than Islam”, it’s not from the Quran either. I honestly do not know where you got it from.

       These matters of prophecies are often more subtle and require some deeper understanding of the philosophy behind them. If you want to understand them further I recommend the following for a short introduction:

       1. Hello Falah,
          Did you know that the title “Christ” is a reference to Jesus’ death on the cross and ascension to heaven? That’s what Jesus taught His disciples in Matthew 16:13-23, after Peter confessed Jesus to be the “Christ.”

          Matthew 16:13–23
          When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
          They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
          “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
          Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
          Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.
          And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
          I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
          Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
          From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
          Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
          Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”

          That is also what Jesus’ chosen Apostle Peter preached (Acts 2:22-36) and taught (1 Peter 1:3). John was another disciple Jesus chose to witness and testify to what Jesus did and taught. John testified to Jesus being the “Christ” with reference to Jesus’ death and resurrection from the dead (1 John 3:16).
          Based on your reference to alislam.org, it looks like you are a follower of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Have you seriously considered how wrong he was about Jesus’ death on the cross and statements he made about the Gospel of Barnabas?
          Best Regards,
          Aaron

2. Wilbur I am no scholar. With my limited knowledge, ‘Antichrist’ is merely a symbolic name for someone against the message of Allah.
   ‘Message of Allah’ at the time of Prophet Moses(peace be upon him) was what he said and practiced later at the time of Prophet Esa Ibn e Maryam(Peace be upon him) which you call Jesus was what he said and ordered to practice but both were only for their respective times as Christians and Jews exploited the religion and made changes.

   The coming of (Jesus) Prophet Isa son of Maryam(peace be upon him) would also be to clear this confusion he will say to christians that they changed his message. Allah knows best!!

   1. Abraham, Moses or any Biblical prophets has nothing to do with Muhammad or his religion called Islam. Abraham and his descendants were are by race Hebrew they worship a true God called in Hebrew Elohim, who revealed Himself not only to the prophets but even to ordinary worshipers. All prophets came from the Hebrew background and descendants of Abraham. Whereas Muhammad came from Arabs who speaks Arabic and use to worshiped 360 god and goddess at Kaba Mecca Audi Arabia. Hebrews are highly qualified and civilized race and whereas Arabs were nomad or gypsies uncivilized idols worshipers even during the time Muhammad. Bible were written by qualified prophets and messengers, in Hebrew and Greek languages. Non of the Biblical Prophets ever worshiped a god called Allah.

   1. Thank you for your comment. Jesus said and did many things evidencing the fact that He is the Son of God. In fact, it was this claim that led the Jews to hand Him over to the Romans to be crucified. I invite you to read the gospel of Matthew.

      1. When was the gospel of Mathew written ?

         Reply

5. Authorship
   Since the times of the early church fathers, the apostle Matthew has always been accredited with the authorship of the first gospel (canonically). Even the title “According to Matthew” (KATA MAQQAION) is found in the earliest manuscripts, and was the most highly regarded and quoted of the gospels by the church fathers. [1] Matthew is also called Levi (Mark 2:14; Luke 5:27), and was the son of Alphaeus (Luke 5:27). He was a tax collector (telwnhV), probably stationed on a main trade route near Capernaum where he would have collected tolls for Herod Antipas from commercial traffic. [2] Additionally, being a tax collector might better qualify Matthew for his role as an official recorder of the life and actions of Christ. [3] After the resurrection there is no other mention of him in the New Testament.
   According to the resources available to us, Papias (the Bishop of Hieropolis in Phrygia ca. AD 130) was the first to associate the apostle Matthew with this document. Eusebius, the early church historian, records Papias’ account: “Matthew collected the oracles (ta logia) in the Hebrew language, and each interpreted them as best he could.” [4] This quote also introduces some problems. What was Papias referring to when he stated that Matthew wrote in the Hebrew dialect? Some have understood this not as a reference to the Hebrew as we have in the Old Testament, but instead the Syro-Chaldaic, [5] or Aramaic. On the other hand, most scholars insist that Matthew was originally written in Greek because many parts of the Gospel are extremely (if not identically) similar to Mark’s, which was indubitably written in Greek. Others have also concluded that Matthew wrote two Gospels-one in a Palestinian language and the other in Greek. Ralph Martin’s conclusion is that “Papias’ tradition can at best relate only to a collection of material later used in the composition of the entire Gospel.” [6]
   Not until the eighteenth century did the question of authorship become an issue. More recently, since Matthew does rely heavily on Mark’s Gospel (see “Date and Location of Composition” below), some scholars have discarded the idea that the author was one of the twelve apostles. On the other hand, Papias also said that Mark was the interpreter of Peter, [7] and therefore, the apostle Matthew would not have a problem with deferring to the early leader of the church. [8]
   Date and Location of Composition
   Various estimates have placed the date of Matthew’s composition anywhere from AD 50 – to AD 100. But before a date can be decided, its relation to the Gospel of Mark must first be addressed. If Mark was written first, then Matthew must have a later date (and vice-versa). The most widely accepted hypothesis is that both Matthew and Luke used Mark as a source for various reasons. Matthew even reproduced about ninety percent of Mark, while Luke reproduced about sixty percent. [9] Without going into much detail on the dating of Mark’s Gospel, [10] it was probably written somewhere between AD 50 and AD 55. Consequently, Matthew’s Gospel could have reasonably been written anywhere between AD 55 and AD 60. This date allows time for Matthew to have access to Mark’s Gospel, and suggests that he completed the Gospel before the destruction of the temple in AD 70, because it would seem strange for the author not to mention this event in light of chapter 24. [11] This dating also allows time for Luke to use Matthew’s Gospel in composing his own Gospel, as well as its sequel (Acts, ca. AD 62).
   Though dating the Gospel maybe difficult or complicated, it is even more problematic to determine where Matthew wrote the Gospel. Most scholars conclude that Matthew was written in either Palestine or Syria because of its Jewish nature. Antioch of Syria is usually the most favoured because many in the early church dispersed there (Acts 11:19, 27). Another reason for favouring Antioch is that the earliest reference to Matthew’s Gospel was found in Ignatius’ (the Bishop of Antioch) Epistle to the Smyrnaeans (ca. 110).
   Purpose and Audience
   It is quite obvious and widely accepted that Matthew was written to the Jews. For one, he focuses on the fulfillment of the Old Testament, even quoting from it sixty-two times, which is more than any other Gospel writer. Secondly it is interesting that Matthew does not explain Jewish culture like the other evangelists (cf. Mark 7:3, John 19:40), which also adds to the argument that he is writing to Jews. Matthew uses the phrase, “kingdom of heaven,” (the only author, in fact, to use this phrase) which can be considered as a “reverential Jewish expression” [12]-a term appropriate to a Jewish audience. His purpose in writing to the Jews was to show them that Jesus of Nazareth was the expected messiah and both his genealogy and his resurrection were legitimate proofs of this.
   Themes
   The overriding theme shows Jesus as the messiah, but there are also several minor themes, some of which directly relate to the major theme. These other themes include the kingdom of heaven, the conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders, Jesus as the fulfiller of the law, and the king who will return in the clouds.
   Literary Structure, Coherence, and Unity
   The structure of Matthew’s Gospel is very remarkable. The Gospel can be divided into three parts: the prologue (1:1-2:23), the body (3:1-28:15), and the epilogue (28:16-20). Matthew constructed his body around five distinct discourses: the Sermon on the Mount (5:1-7:29), the Commissioning of the Apostles (10:1-42), Parables about the Kingdom (13:1-52), Relationships in the Kingdom (18:1-35), and the Olivet Discourse (24:1-25:46). [13] Each discourse also ends with a recognizable closing statement (7:28, 11:1, 13:53, 19:1, 26:1), for example: “When Jesus had finished saying these things….” Even more interesting are the intricate parallels between the first and fifth discourses, and the second and fourth discourses. This leaves the third discourse (Parables about the Kingdom) as the focal point. Though we are not sure about the comparison of Jesus’ baptism with his death, there is a rather striking parallel between Emmanuel (1:23; lit. “God with us”) and Jesus’ last words, “And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age” (28:20).

11. Assalamualaikum. We believe that the teachings of Jesus, Moses and Muhammed (peace be apon them) were all in favor of Islam. The teachings were either changed, forgotten or just not accepted. We believe Jesus is a prophet of Allah not the Son of God nor God incarnate. Muhammad (pbuh) is the final prophet and was the founder of Islam and its holy book the Q`uran. The Bible was originally the holy book of Injil. I have more to say but I am unsure if it is correct but I shall check and be back. I think most of the things i have said are correct but then again I am an 11 yr old. 🙂

    1. Thank you for taking the time to comment, “Anonymous.” Do Muslims believe Jesus’ death on the cross? If you believe Jesus’ teachings, you should believe that He died on the cross and rose again from the dead. This is something Jesus taught in the gospels (Matthew 16:21; 20:17-19; 26:1-2, 6-12) and happened in history.
       One of Jesus’ foremost disciples was Peter. Jesus appeared to Peter after He died and rose again. Peter testifies to Jesus’ death and resurrection in 1 Peter 2:24; 3:18.
       Another disciple, John, testified to Jesus’ death and resurrection in 1 John 2:1-2; 4:10 and Revelation (Rev.1:1-18). Followers of Jesus who knew eyewitnesses also spoke about Jesus’ death and resurrection include Luke who wrote Luke and Acts (see Luke 23-24; Acts 1).
       Jesus gave a sign to the church (the Lord’s Supper) to commemorate His death.
       In my studies, I have found that it is the followers of Muhammad who changed the teachings of Jesus and His followers.

12. Just a tip now
    Holy Quran Sura Al-baqran verse 45 speaks about the holy way through which Jesus Christ came to this world, also testifies about the Miracles performed by him, even to an extent of Creating a bird out of mud like how God created human being, making us to know Him as a creator, even if Muslims were taught and indoctrinated not to believe He died on the cross verse 55 stated this clearly that Those that follow Christ will be superior to those that reject Him, then they shall be seriously punished here on earth and hereafter and there will be nobody to help them. Open your eyes wide. Think about this Quran confirms that The Last Hour will not come Until Jesus descends from heaven to fight the anti Christ. Why Christ , why not Muhammed. Think very well. Thanks

13. I think there is a great problem with the Islamic view of Jesus. Muslims say “we love Jesus”.
    Jesus said ” Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” (John 14:23). Notice that John was one of His apostles: is is contemporary to Jesus, he was with Him, talked with Him, and it was himself who wrote this book after Jesus died, later in his life at the island of Patmos. There was no reason whatsoever for John tell lies, of course.

    For a logical point of view, if Muslim brothers love Jesus, they will need to keep His words. And to keep His words means that they accept Jesus as a the son of God (“my Father will love him”). This creates a great contradiction with what Muslims believe: that Jesus was not the son of God.

    So if Muslims love Jesus, they need to accept that Jesus is the Son of God. On the other hand If they don’t believe He is the Son of God, they do not love Jesus because Jesus Himself told He was the son of God.
