The Births of Muhammad & Isa Al-Masih

14 December 2015 by Jasmin 10 Comments

ReligionBoth Muhammad and Isa Al-Masih are extraordinary. But which one is greater? In order to find this out, we must compare them. The comparison includes Muhammad and Isa Al-Masih’s birth stories. After comparing the facts, we will see who the most special one is.

Who Were Muhammad and Isa Al-Masih?

Muhammad said, “Verily, before your Lord made any other thing, He created from His own Light the light of your Prophet [The light of Muhammad].” According to this, through the light of Muhammad, God created all things. Yet, the divine light of Muhammad, who then became Muhammad, died like a normal human being.

Isa Al-Masih is the divine Kalimatullah, “… the Word was with God, and … was God” (Injil, John 1:1). Isa Al-Masih “… was raised from the dead” (Injil, John 21:14) and “… was taken into heaven” (Injil, Luke 24:51). Both Muslims and Christians believe that Isa is in heaven right now.

The Births of Muhammad and Al-Masih

Islam teaches that a Jew prophesied the birth of Muhammad to the Quraisy people. But there is not one prophecy about Muhammad in God’s Books (Taurat, Zabur, and Injil). Why didn’t Allah bigstock Baby Jesus 6374056prophesy about him?

On the contrary, Allah prophesied the birth of Isa Al-Masih 700 years before His birth. “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son [Isa Al-Masih], and will call him Immanuel” (Taurat, Prophet Isaiah 7:14 fulfilled in Injil, Matthew 1:23).

Muhammad was born the same as every other human. Abdullah married Aminah, who later gave birth to Muhammad.

But Isa Al-Masih’s birth was through a virgin by God’s miracle. The Quran acknowledges that Maryam’s pregnancy was not from man’s touch (Qs 19:19). The angel told Maryam, “the Holy Spirit will come on you …” (Injil, Luke 1:35). Have any other humans been born by God’s Spirit through a virgin?

Muhammad’s and Isa Al-Masih’s Names

Muhammad’s grandfather, Abdul Muthallib, named his grandson Muhammad, or Ahmad, which means “commendable.”

God Himself named Isa Al-Masih. God’s angel commanded Joseph “to give him the name Jesus [Isa], because he will save his people from their sins” (Injil, Matthew 1:21).

Muhammad’s and Isa Al-Masih’s Power

Muhammad was given power only as a “warner”, “… I [Muhammad] am only to you a clear warner”(Qs 22:49). So Muhammad only has power to warn us of what God will do to us if we don’t follow him.

Isa Al-Masih received the name Jesus/Yeshua “… because he will save his people from their sins” (Injil, Matthew 1:21). Isa is the only one who has power to forgive sins.

So based on these facts, who do you think is more important? Isa or Muhammad? We hope this will cause you to learn more about Isa Al-Masih. He desires to know you today!

    Isa Al-Masih is divine and our shepherd. He is not born with sin. But by the holy spirit! There is no comparison between Isa and Muhammad. Also, it’s only in Christianity that God gave us the right to call him “Father”. There is nowhere in other holy books in the whole world.

    Praise the Lord!

    Amen

      Abedhnego,

      I agree with your statement. Yet, why couldn’t we make a comparison between Isa Al-Masih and Muhammad? Both of them were human beings? We could compare them in order to see who is the greater.

    Because Isa Al-Masih is the beginning and the end. He has declared Himself in the world.

      Thank you for joining the discussion. Yes, you are right that Isa Al-Masih has declared Himself that He’s the the beginning and the end. He’s “the Alpha and the Omega.”

      Isa Al-Masih is God. There was much clear evidence in God’s Holy Book pointing that Isa Al-Masih is God. One proof of Isa Al-Masih’s deity is found in John. Jesus says, [b]“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies[/b]” (Injil, John 11:25). Isa Al-Masih’s offer of eternal life is conditional on faith in Himself. If anyone but God said this it would be blasphemy.

      Wassalam.

    Thanks for the enlightenment. In short there is basis for comparison because one is supernatural while the other is naturally born. At his baptism in Mathew 3:17′ God Himself declares his Sonship.

      Dear Alex,

      Thank you for submitting your comment. We often blindly claim that one is greater than the other. In fact, the other is greater than the one whom we believed greater. So through the comparison above, even though that it’s not appropriate to compare between Muhammad and Isa Al-Masih, we could know that Isa Al-Masih is greater than Muhammad.

      Blessings.

    Isa Al-Masih claimed, lived, performed, were witnessed by many. His power over life and death was certainly witnessed by many.

    Muhammad was told by his comforting elderly wife that god, not demon had spoken to him. None of his claimed divine visions were witnessed, or prophesied.

    His Qur’an, claimed the undisputed words of god, was recited orally over many years and the final version was compiled many years after his painful death. The four persons who claimed expert knowledge of his life time recitations were all dead by the time the final form of the Qur’an was selected.

    Both muslims and Christians believe that Isa Al-Masih did not die but will come to judge the world. Muhammad on the other hand died, presumably he also will be judged by Isa Al-Masih!

      Stephen,

      You are right. There are so much evidence about Isa Al-Masih, that everyone should turn to Him and acknowledged Him as God and the judge of the world!

      Blessings.
