The death of Jesus is the focal point of all 3 religions.
The Jews believe they have surely killed him.
The Christians believe his human form died.
The Muslims believe his death was made to appear and he never died, but was raised to the heavens alive.
Why would a human die twice? He never died, so he will be coming back to live the remaining years of his life and die amongst his people, to convince everyone thas he was Human like any of us and never god.
Makes total sense and fulfills the Islamic view and prophecies and clarifies what exactly happened on the cross that day, which no one can explain.
@Newnotused Yeah, no difference. They are both astonished. Same verb.
The different qira'at add flavor to the language. Gives the readers more to think...
The Quran was not sent for finding subject in a verse.
It was sent so we can learn a lesson. What lesson have you learnt when The Prophet pbuh and Allah are astonished that the disbelievers are mocking the Prophet instead of accepting Islam.
Where would you fit in this scenario?
If you read Tafair Tabari, he affirms that both versions (whether referring to the Prophet’s amazement or Allah’s amazement at their disbelief) are complementary and reveal the depth of human denial and divine majesty.
These minor differences are never contradictory, but infact compliment each other and provide deeper meaning.
@WTruth00393575 God created and controls TIME. A dimension we dont control. God can see the future and he already knows which souls will fail the test and end up in hell fire.
If you read all Islamic texts with this view it all makes sense.
No Muslim said that. You are making up a question? Why would following a Prophet be shirk. It seems you dont understand what shirk is. Please educate yourself first.
God always sent a human (Prophet) to teach his religion and following the Prophets lifestyle would be the path to eternal Paradise.
WHAT THE FIFA WORLD CUP CAN TEACH US AS MUSLIMS
Every four years, the FIFA World Cup captures the attention of millions across the globe. Stadiums are filled, flights are booked months in advance, and fans travel thousands of kilometres just to witness a single match.
Some spend large sums of money on tickets, accommodation, jerseys, and travel. Others rearrange their schedules, stay awake deep into the night, or take time off work just to watch their favourite teams play.
To many, none of this seems excessive.
Why?
Because when the heart truly loves something, sacrifices no longer feel like burdens.
Perhaps the World Cup teaches us something far greater than football. It reminds us of an important truth about human nature: people willingly make sacrifices for whatever they value most.
As Muslims, this should make us reflect.
1. "Tahajjud is too difficult."
Is it really?
During the World Cup, countless people stay awake until the early hours of the morning to watch football, then wake up for work or school the next day without hesitation.
This shows that the issue is often not the difficulty itself, but what motivates us.
Imagine if our hearts longed to stand before Allah in the last third of the night with the same eagerness. Waking up for just two rak'ahs before Fajr would no longer feel like a burden, but an honour.
2. "Memorising the Qur'an is too hard."
Football supporters can recall incredible details from matches played years ago.
They remember scores, goal scorers, transfer fees, statistics, records, and even stories from players' childhoods.
The human mind naturally retains what the heart constantly engages with.
If our hearts became deeply attached to the Qur'an, memorising the words of Allah would become a source of joy rather than something we constantly postpone.
3. "I don't have time."
People make time for pre-match analysis, live matches, post-match discussions, interviews, highlights, podcasts, fantasy leagues, and endless conversations on social media.
The reality is that we rarely "find" time.
We create time for what we consider important.
If learning our religion is always postponed, perhaps the issue is not a lack of time, but a lack of priority.
4. "Islamic knowledge is expensive."
Many people willingly spend large amounts on flights, hotels, match tickets, merchandise, subscriptions, and entertainment.
Yet when it comes to purchasing beneficial Islamic books, enrolling in authentic classes, or supporting the spread of knowledge, hesitation suddenly appears.
Money itself is often not the obstacle.
Rather, it is our perception of what deserves our investment.
5. "Being consistent is too difficult."
A devoted football fan rarely misses important matches simply because they feel tired or unmotivated.
Whether the weather is good or bad, whether they are busy or exhausted, they remain committed.
Consistency is not built on feelings alone.
It is built on commitment.
Likewise, one page of Qur'an every day, a small amount of daily dhikr, regular salah with khushū', or twenty minutes of seeking knowledge may seem small, but over months and years, these actions transform a believer.
6. "I'm shy to speak about Islam."
Fans proudly wear their team's colours wherever they go.
They celebrate victories openly, defend their teams passionately, and never hesitate to identify themselves as supporters.
Love naturally expresses itself.
If we feel uncomfortable mentioning Allah, sharing authentic Islamic knowledge, or practising our religion with confidence and good manners, perhaps we should sincerely ask ourselves where our greatest attachment truly lies.
7. "The journey is taking too long."
Many football supporters remain loyal to their clubs for decades, even when those clubs go years without winning major trophies.
They continue supporting them through disappointment after disappointment.
Jesus explicitly calls himself a prophet in Luke 13:33 when he states: "Nevertheless, I must keep on going today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside of Jerusalem!"
Additionally, Jesus alludes to his prophetic role in Mark 6:4 and Luke 4:24 by using a popular proverb: "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home."
Others Calling Jesus a Prophet
The Samaritan Woman: She declares, "Sir, I can see that you are a prophet" in John 4:19.
The Crowds: After Jesus raises a widow's son, the people exclaim, "A great prophet has appeared among us" in Luke 7:16.
The Disciples: In Luke 24:19, they describe Jesus as "a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people."
Matthew 21:11 reads: "The crowds answered, 'This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.'
How come Jesus wasn't offended? Or you understand Christianity better than him?
@Christ1stAmen It trains the individual to be mindful of Allah's provisions and recognize that even the smallest leftover particles on the hand hold value.
@Christ1stAmen "Or had it licked": This specific clause emphasizes sharing the blessing. It means to avoid wasting food on your fingers, you can offer them to a spouse or a young child to lick. The Core Lesson: The primary teaching is humility, gratitude, and a strict avoidance of wasting food.
@eternalbread_ No wonder people will be punished for eternity in the hereafter, and I used to wonder why.... and now it makes total sense. Even if such people lived for 1000 years they would still believe in the same beliefs. GOD is Just!
