An Islamic View of Jesus

Posted in Islam, Jesus Christ, Qur'an on January 11, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

At muslimmatters.org, Camilla Morrison has written an essay that gives the Islamic view of Jesus. In the first few paragraphs (pasted below) she describes how the Qur’an views Jesus, referring to most of the texts about him. This is a helpful starter for understanding how Jesus Christ is seen within Islam today.  It’s a long [...]

Mezba commented on a post I had written and had included a link to his blog, “Teaching Kids the Holy Quran.” After I looked at his blog I knew I wanted to post a link. He creatively uses Legos to teach the Quran. Here is a link to Surat Maryam, which tells of the birth [...]

On youtube I noticed a song listing the 66 books of the Bible. Then I searched to see if there was something similar for the 114 Surahs of the Qur’an. For those of you who would like to learn them in order, here you go:

The Way of Holiness – the Straight Path

Posted in Bible, Knowing God, Qur'an on October 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Everyday Muslims pray that Allah would guide them on the straight path. Verse 6 of the opening Surah of the Qur’an says: “Guide us to the straight path” This is a good prayer. I was thinking about it today when I read Isaiah 35: 8 And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the [...]

I Also Hate This

Posted in Qur'an, Sin on July 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I am not afraid to admit that I don’t believe the Qur’an is the Word of God. If I did I would be a Muslim. However, that doesn’t make me any less incensed when I see things like “International Burn a Koran Day” hosted by a church in Florida. This can’t get much further from [...]

Governor David Beasley Learns that Jesus Is in the Qur’an

Posted in Jesus Christ, Qur'an, Understanding on June 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Here is a short video with Governor David Beasley sharing his experience of finding common ground with a Muslim friend from Yemen. Unbeknownst to him, Jesus is in the Qur’an. I really appreciate his humility by confessing that he didn’t know something and by learning about Islam from a Muslim. HT: Carl Medearis

A Muslim’s Experience of the Qur’an

Posted in Muslims, Qur'an on March 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

It is helpful for us to hear other people’s experiences with their religion. When we hear and see their emotions they become more than just a person of another faith. They become human. They become like us. So I thought it would be good to share this post from Muslim Matters. Ismail Kamdar shares about [...]

How to Approach the Qur’an

Posted in Islam, Qur'an, Understanding on January 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

This is an interesting post that gives Muslims instructions on why the Qur’an should be more central in their lives and how they are to approach it. Since the Qur’an is so central to Islam and to the lives of Muslims, it is helpful for non-Muslims to better understand it. I encourage you to read [...]

The Honor of the Word of God

Posted in Bible, Honor/Shame, Jesus Christ, Qur'an on November 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Both Muslims and Christians call Jesus Christ the word of God (كَلِمَةٍ ٱللَّهَ ). As I was reading in the Psalms (Zabur) this morning I was reminded of Al Imran 45 (3:45) from the Qur’an. In both verses we see God honoring or exalting his word. Psalm 138:2 I bow down toward your holy temple [...]
