Instead, he was saved by Allah and raised to the heavens. According to the Quran, in chapter 4 verse 157, it states that \"they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but someone was made to resemble him\". This suggests that a person who looked like Jesus was crucified instead of him. Muslim scholars believe that this resurrection is part of Allah's plan for his life and reflects the ultimate power and mercy of God. The concept of Christ as God or the son of God is also rejected in Islam, where he is considered to be one of many prophets sent by Allah to guide humanity towards righteousness. Thus, while Muslims regard Jesus as a major figure in their faith tradition, their understanding of his life and death differs significantly from Christian beliefs about these events.","Questions about Jesus",[],"2023-03-22T03:33:59+00:00",{"slug":14,"title":15,"image":8,"excerpt":16,"category":17,"tags":18,"date":19},"should-hijab-be-forced-on-muslim-women-755","Should Hijab be Forced on Muslim Women?","The reasons why Muslim women wear hijab are primarily based on Islamic values. Muslim women who wear the hijab choose to do so out of deep faith and obedience to Allah (Exalted be He). The Quran instructs both men and women to dress modestly, which is perceived differently by different cultures. Additionally, when a woman wears a hijab, she is protecting herself. Furthermore, hijab allows Muslim women to express their identity and independence while maintaining their faith-based values beyond outward appearances. While some argue that wearing the hijab is oppressive or subjugating, many Muslim women view it as empowering and fully endorse its benefits.","Questions about Women in Islam",[],"2023-03-22T03:30:17+00:00",{"slug":21,"title":22,"image":8,"excerpt":23,"category":24,"tags":25,"date":26},"why-is-the-quran-in-arabic-754","Why Is the Quran in Arabic?","According to Islamic beliefs, the Quran is the revealed Word of Allah to Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Therefore, it has to be preserved in its original form. It is said that the Arabic language was chosen because of its significance in Islamic history and culture. Arabic was the common language among the people of Arabia who were the primary audience for Prophet Muhammad’s message. Furthermore, it is a language rich in vocabulary and grammar with no other language able to encapsulate such depth and beauty. Thus, it would not have been appropriate or just for other languages to be superior or preferred over Arabic. The eloquence and expressiveness of the Quranic Arabic enable readers worldwide to have access to an intellectually engaging text that employs numerous styles, including storytelling, narration, rational arguments, and ethical guidance. This plays a significant part in why Arabic remains an integral importance to Islam today.","Questions about The Holy Quran",[],"2023-03-22T03:28:14+00:00",{"slug":28,"title":29,"image":8,"excerpt":30,"category":31,"tags":32,"date":33},"what-is-the-meaning-of-jihad-753","What Is the Meaning of Jihad?","Jihad refers to the struggle or effort made by an individual in the pursuit of righteousness and the betterment of society. In Islamic terms, this concept carries a deeper connotation that involves spiritual, social, and physical struggles aimed at achieving a righteous and just society. Jihad is frequently associated with military campaigns waged against non-believers, but this is a misinterpretation. Islam emphasizes peace but acknowledges that self-defense is necessary in some situations. The greater Jihad in Islam is to strive towards individual spiritual development by engaging in regular prayer and participating in charitable activities for community improvement. Jihad does not include violence against innocent people or aggression towards non-Muslim communities. Instead, it promotes courage and determination to resist oppression and uphold the principles of justice and freedom for all individuals irrespective of their religious affiliation or background.","Questions about Islam",[],"2023-03-22T03:10:59+00:00",{"slug":35,"title":36,"image":8,"excerpt":37,"category":10,"tags":38,"date":39},"is-it-true-that-no-one-can-see-allah-except-through-jesus-pbuh-752","Is It True that No One Can See Allah except through Jesus (PBUH)?","According to Islamic beliefs, the statement “No one can see Allah except through Jesus” goes against the fundamental concept of Tawhid or the belief in the absolute oneness of Allah. While Muslims greatly revere Prophet Jesus (may the peace of Allah be upon him) as a messenger of Allah, they do not consider him to be divine or a mediator between human beings and Allah. Rather, Islam teaches that every individual has direct access to Allah through sincere prayers and worship without the need for an intermediary. The Quran mentions in numerous ayahs that Allah is All-Seeing and All-Hearing, implying that He is always present and attentive to His creations’ supplications. Hence, the notion that only through Jesus one can perceive Allah is not embraced in Islam as it contradicts with the belief in monotheism upheld by Muslims worldwide.",[],"2023-03-22T03:07:21+00:00",{"slug":41,"title":42,"image":8,"excerpt":43,"category":10,"tags":44,"date":45},"i-and-the-father-are-one-is-this-biblical-verse-true-751","“I and the Father Are One,” Is This Biblical Verse True?","The statement “I and the Father are one” is found in the Gospel of John in the Christian Bible, where Jesus is quoted as saying this in the context of describing his relationship with God the Father. This statement is often used to support the Christian belief in the doctrine of the Trinity, which teaches that God exists as three persons in one: the Father, the Son (Jesus), andGod the Holy Spirit. However, the question posed here is whether this statement holds any truth in Islamic theology. It is important to note that Islam and Christianity have different understandings of who God is. While Christians believe in a three-in-one God, Muslims, on the other hand, believe in a Single, Indivisible God (Allah). Therefore, the idea of Jesus and the Father being one is false according to the Islamic teachings.",[],"2023-03-22T03:02:21+00:00",{"slug":47,"title":48,"image":8,"excerpt":49,"category":31,"tags":50,"date":51},"why-do-muslims-pray-in-arabic-750","Why Do Muslims Pray in Arabic?","Muslims pray in Arabic because it is the language of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam. The use of Arabic maintains the authenticity and accuracy of reciting Allah’s revelations as stated in the Qur'an, which are believed to be pure and unaltered since over 1,400 years ago. Recitation in Arabic helps Muslims to better connect with their faith by instilling a sense of unity among global worshippers. It acts as a cohesive element that binds different communities who may speak different languages but can still communicate with one another through prayers. Additionally, Quranic verses carry deep spiritual meanings that cannot be fully expressed in translation without losing some essence or subtlety. Therefore, Muslims pray in Arabic not just for ritualistic reasons but also for the transcendent experience it offers through meditative prayer practices embedded within Islamic spiritual faith.",[],"2023-03-22T02:58:05+00:00",{"slug":53,"title":54,"image":8,"excerpt":55,"category":10,"tags":56,"date":57},"is-jesus-pbuh-the-spirit-of-allah-748","Is Jesus (PBUH) the Spirit of Allah?","In Islam, Jesus (may the peace of Allah be upon him) is recognized as a great Prophet and Messenger of Allah (Exalted be He), but not as the son of Allah. Instead, he is considered a human being who was greatly blessed by Allah with miracles and teachings for the guidance of humankind. While there are different interpretations within Islamic theology, most would agree that Jesus was not divine, nor did he embody the spirit of Allah in the way that is understood in Christianity. Therefore, while Jesus holds an important position in Islamic theology, his role is distinct from that described by Christians, who see him as both fully human and fully divine.",[],"2023-03-22T02:50:36+00:00",{"slug":59,"title":60,"image":8,"excerpt":61,"category":62,"tags":63,"date":64},"does-muhammad-pbbuh-have-miracles-747","Does Muhammad (PBBUH) Have Miracles?","The concept of miracles (known as Mu`jizat in Arabic) is central to Islamic theology. Muslims believe that Allah (Exalted be He) possesses the power to intervene in the natural order of things and perform acts that defy human logic and understanding. As the last Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is said to have been granted the ability to perform miracles as a sign of his prophethood. One of the most famous miracles attributed to Prophet Muhammad is the splitting of the moon. This event is referred to in Surah Al-Qamar (54:1), which states: “The hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].

It is located in the Hijaz region of western Saudi Arabia, around a natural well called Zamzam, whose water is believed to be divinely blessed. Makkah has been revered as the center of monotheism and a pilgrimage city since ancient times. Its sacredness in Islam derives from the fact that it contains the Kaaba, which, according to the teachings of Islam, is the first structure that was ever built for the worship of Allah alone. It is said to have been first established by Prophet Adam and rebuilt by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Isma’il (Ishmael), peace be upon them all. The Kaaba is surrounded by the courtyard of the Sacred Mosque, which is the greatest and holiest of all mosques.

However, it is important to note that Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is considered the Last and Final Prophet of Islam, making it impossible for him to return after his death. Muslims strongly believe that Jesus will return as a Messenger of Allah who will refute the misconceptions and wrong beliefs regarding his earlier years on earth.

Muslims highly estimate Jesus. He is a messenger of Allah who was born miraculously, but he is a human being with no divine properties. In Islam, emphasizing that Jesus was born without a father, but by Allah’s direct Command (“Be” and he was created), signifies submitting to Allah’s Will and understanding His Power. Furthermore, the Qur'an teaches that idolizing anyone besides Allah constitutes Shirk (associating others with Allah) – which is an unforgivable sin. Thus, from an Islamic view, denying Jesus’ divine nature does not detract from his unique position as an esteemed Prophet of Allah and a preacher of ethical Islamic teachings such as compassion, equality, and justice.",[],"2023-03-22T02:36:29+00:00",73,3,7,[87,89,90,91,92,93,95,97,99,100],{"key":88,"label":88},"Questions About (Allah) God",{"key":31,"label":31},{"key":62,"label":62},{"key":24,"label":24},{"key":10,"label":10},{"key":94,"label":94},"Questions about Christianity",{"key":96,"label":96},"Questions about marriage on Islam",{"key":98,"label":98},"Questions about converting to Islam",{"key":17,"label":17},{"key":101,"label":101},"Questions about Islam and Life"]
