I'm Muslim, ask me anything (II)

it's a joke

Hey, I have a Q...
As a Christian, I was wondering why you believe that Jesus didn't die and be resurrected? I mean, wasn't that the whole point of coming among us?
Thx in advance

having serious debates

Alisha, what do you say about Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him)? Do you say he's God, or was he sent by God?

Yes, but what about the significance of the crucifixion? Surely God(or Allah, if you want to call Him that), who plans everything, meant it for a purpose? Plus, you haven't answered my question as to why Jesus came among us in the first place. If it was just to teach us, couldn't He do it through prophets?
I'm sorry if that sounded aggressive; it wasn't meant, only I'm very curious

EDIT: I mean, there are a lot of things that Muslims believe (at least, in my take on things)...

That is cos I really don't understand this part of your question

How would these women know he was going to die, I thought it was known to his companions that Allah would save him, therefore he wouldn't die, and thus there was no need for that tradition of rubbing ointment into the dead?

Are you a jihadist? and what are your opinions on jihadism?

I believe that Jesus(pbuh) is a prophet of God, and he was resurrected by God (Allah). What about you?

Same. I thought you wasn't Muslim so i asked that question.

No I am a Muslim And I presume you are too?

You still haven't provided evidence for this claim which is false. Ask any Imam and you will be told dating is haraam. If you don't believe me then you can check the link below

What he said is false. The reason why everyone else says it's haram is because it is actually haram.

well a Prophet's body doesn't decay so I don't agree

But Allah raised Jesus to himself before they could crucify him, so how could they have his body?

Sorry, I think it's bc I was coming at it from the Christian side of things; let me explain...
The way we understand it, Jesus told his friends and companions that he was going to die, although they didn't fully understand what he was going on about. Then, when Jesus was arrested etc., His disciples (being human, and therefore succumbing to the faults of human nature) panicked and fled, and then went into hiding. After Jesus was crucified (at which point the sky went dark and the temple curtains split in two), he was taken down and laid in a tomb. The next day was the Sabbath, so nothing could be done, but the day after that, the women came with ointment to the tomb, where they discovered that Jesus' body was missing, and an angle told them that He was risen. (And btw, since God is all-powerful, I don't see why he has to remove Jesus at the prospect of death, instead of allowing Him to die, and then performing the much more amazing miracle of raising Him from the dead.) Then, a couple of disciples, hearing the tale of the women, went to take a look at the tomb themselves, and reported the same wonderful news to the others, but they didn't believe it. Then, a short while after that, Jesus appeared to them, and spoke to them, and they believed. He appeared to them on various other occasions, giving them instructions about what to do after He left them. Then, He departed to Heaven, and the disciples did what Jesus had told them, and the news spread.
That's basically what we believe; do you think you can answer the Q now?

Well lets look at the link you gave me and the verses he quotes.

1. 4:25

"Wed them with the permission of their own folk and give them their mahr (dowry) according to what is reasonable; they should be chaste, not adulterous, nor taking boyfriends"

Actually if you take the sahih international translation of this verse it reads:

"[They should be] chaste, neither [of] those who commit unlawful intercourse randomly nor those who take [secret] lovers."

What this means is that they should not marry women who are promiscuous. It doesn't mean 'you can't have a relationship'.

2. 5:5

“(Lawful to you in marriage) are chaste women from the believers and chaste women from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) before your time, when you have given their due mahr (bridal money given by the husband to the wife at the time of marriage), desiring chastity (i.e., taking them in legal wedlock), not committing illegal sexual intercourse, nor taking them as girlfriends."

sahih international translation of this verse reads:

"This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers."

So again this is the exact same thing as last time, the Qur'an is talking about not marrying men who have secret lovers.

He also manages to replace lovers with 'boyfriends' or 'girlfriends', which is not the accurate translation.

Nonsense, all bodies decay. Corpses may become naturally preserved due to certain conditions, such as extreme cold and dry heat, but there's no magical mechanism by which prophets' bodies stop decaying.

If there were evidence for this it would be easy enough to provide and have everyone convert to Islam.



More rubbish and lies made up by Muhammad and others. It's preposterous to think that scriptures written more than 600 years after Jesus died are more accurate than ones written much closer to his lifetime. There are no contemporary accounts of a switch and this would have been noticed by the many people witnessing his crucifixion.

Are you a Christian? why is it hard for you to believe that Allah (God) can't preserve the bodies of Prophets, for the respect of them and to keep them from degradation?
