00:00Jesus in Islam vs Christianity, Prophet or Saviour

00:06The figure of Jesus is central to both Islam and Christianity, but the way he is understood

00:10in these two religions differs significantly.

00:14In Christianity, Jesus is viewed as the saviour and son of God, while Islam regards him as

00:18a revered prophet and messiah, but not divine.

00:22Jesus in Christianity, the divine saviour In Christianity, Jesus is the promised messiah

00:28and the son of God, believed to be both fully human and fully divine.

00:33This is based on the doctrine of the Incarnation, where God became flesh in the person of Jesus

00:38to save humanity from sin.

00:40Jesus is not only human but also divine, a belief rooted in passages like John 1, the

00:46word was God.

00:48Christians believe that Jesus is part of the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

00:54Jesus' mission, according to Christian theology, was to save humanity through his death on

00:59the cross and resurrection.

01:01His sacrifice is seen as the way to reconcile humanity with God and offer eternal life to

01:05believers.

01:07Christians believe that salvation is not achieved by good works alone but through faith in Jesus'

01:12sacrifice.

01:13Jesus' role as saviour is central to Christian faith.

01:18Jesus in Islam, revered prophet and messiah In Islam, Jesus, Isa, is a highly respected

01:26prophet, but not divine.

01:28While Islam affirms his virgin birth and recognizes him as the messiah, it denies his divinity

01:33and salvific role.

01:35Jesus is viewed as a human prophet sent by Allah, not the son of God.

01:40Islam emphasizes the oneness of God, Tafid, and rejects the concept of the Trinity.

01:45Islam acknowledges Jesus' miraculous birth and his ability to perform miracles, but only

01:50by God's permission.

01:52His mission was to guide people toward monotheism, not to redeem humanity.

01:57Islam teaches that Jesus was not crucified, but rather, God saved him and took him to

02:02heaven.

02:03Muslims believe Jesus will return in the end times as a prophet, not as a saviour.

02:08In Islam, salvation is achieved through faith in God and following his guidance through

02:12the prophets, including Jesus.

02:15Sacred deeds also play a role in attaining salvation.

02:19Conclusion The figure of Jesus holds significant, though

02:23differing, roles in Islam and Christianity.

02:27In Christianity, Jesus is the divine saviour who redeems humanity from sin through his

02:31death and resurrection.

02:33In Islam, Jesus is a revered prophet who preached monotheism, performed miracles, and will return

02:39in the end times, but he is not divine.

02:42Recognizing these distinctions is key to recognizing the deep theological differences

02:46between these two great world religions and appreciating the reverence with which both

02:50regard Jesus.

02:52Despite these differences, both religions share a profound respect for Jesus, albeit

02:56within different theological frameworks.
