Jesus Prophet Of Islam

Synopsis

According to Islamic scholar Muhammad Ata ur-Rahim, Jesus is considered a prophet teaching the Unity of God (Tawhid). In his book “Jesus: Prophet of Islam” (first published in 1977), Ata ur-Rahim examines Jesus’ message and the historical collapse of Christianity as it deviated from his teachings.

Key Points:

• Jesus is seen as a prophet who preached the Oneness of God, rejecting polytheism and idolatry.
• The book argues that the concept of Jesus as part of a Trinity was a Greek pagan idea adopted by early Christian missionaries to gain converts among the Greeks.
• This doctrine did not become widely accepted until after the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D.
• Ata ur-Rahim’s work also explores the Gospel of Barnabas, the Gospel of Hermes, and early Unitarian Christian traditions, highlighting their similarities with Islamic teachings.
• The book presents a critical examination of Christian scriptures and traditions, comparing them to Islamic sources, including the Quran and hadith.

“Jesus: Prophet of Islam” offers a unique Islamic perspective on Jesus, emphasising his role as a prophet who preached monotheism and rejecting the Trinity doctrine. The book provides a comprehensive study of Jesus’ teachings and their historical development, highlighting the differences between Islamic and Christian understandings of Jesus’ message.
