Why do Muslims not believe that Jesus is the Son of God?

Answer 1

"Allah" is the Arabic word for God. There is no difference in understanding of what the word means - that of the Creator God. Muslims DO believe in Jesus but they do not accept Him as being God. He is understood by Muslims to be a major prophet of God, and is revered by Muslims as equal with Moses and Muhammad.

Say ye: "We believe in God, and that which hath been sent down to us, and that which hath been sent down to Abraham and Ismael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes: and that which hath been given to Moses and to Jesus, and that which was given to the prophets from their Lord. No difference do we make between any of them: and to God are we resigned."

(The Qur'an, Sura 2:130 [Rodwell trans.])

Answer 2

This is matter of opinion. exactly the same reason that they believe in god. They believe what they are told by their parents or come to that conclusion them selves. Different people would answer this question differently. For example one persons answer could be that people start of their life looking up to their parents and rely on their guidance, when that leadership is gone then they need some thing else to take its place so they use the idea of a God to do this. Another reason can be that it is an easy and simplistic way of seeing your place and that of every thing else in the universe. but I am cynical about religion and perhaps others should also give their answer to this one.

What kind of stupit question is that u might be dumm well u are BTW . if u read the bible then will be like it does not make sence but if u read the quran then u will know that it is the a book of god that he sent down to earth BTW people belive in Allah becausee he is god Duhhh!!!

Answer 3

Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet and that he was sent to heaven. But, Muslims believe that Jesus wasn't killed on the cross. Instead, God (Allah) made one of the Jews who wantde to kill Jesus look like him so they killed him instead! So eversince, Jesus has been in heaven. He is not the son of god. He is only a prophet trying to spread the word of Allah.

Answer 4

Answer AMuslims do believe in Jesus Christ, they believe he was a prophet but not part of God. Answer BYes, Muslims believe in Jesus Christ. Muslims believe in Jesus as one of the five greatest prophets. The other four are: Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Muhammad. They don't believe in Jesus as God or son of god.

In the Quran, there is a complete chapter titled 'Maryam' (Mary) that confirms Maryam virgin birth. Jesus was born as miracle by the word and command of God "be" then "it is". This command is, as said in Quran, the same command that had brought Adam into being with neither a father nor a mother. God has said in Quran:

{The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said to him, "Be!" and he came into being.} (Quran, 3/59)

Muslims believe that during the prophetic mission of Jesus (peace be upon him), Jesus performed many miracles. God tells us that Jesus said:

{I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God's permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to life by God's permission. And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses....}(Quran, 3/49)

Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified. They believe that the enemies of Jesus (peace upon him) plotted and planned to crucify Jesus. However, God miraculously saved Jesus and raised him up to Him (to God). God, the all Powerful and the all Capable, put the likeness of Jesus (peace upon him) over another man. The enemies of Jesus (peace upon him) thought that the this other man is Jesus and they took him and crucified him. God has said: {...They said, "We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God." They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)...} (Quran, 4/157)

The generally accepted Muslim view is that Jesus is still living in the body in the Heaven and that he will appear just before the Final Day , after the coming of the Mahdi, when the world will be purified of sin and unbelief. There will be a final death before the final Resurrection.

Answer 5

The question as phrased is incorrect. It was and still remains a common misconception among Christians that Jesus is to Christianity what Mohammed is to Islam. This is not the case. Muslims do not believe IN Mohammed, they believe WITH Mohammed. Mohammed is considered the person who was gifted by God with the final revelation of His Will for mankind. Therefore Mohammed is treated with reverence, but no more so than Christians would accord Moses. Mohammed is a human and not worthy of worship (unlike God who is).

Muslims even accept that Jesus was the Messiah, although they interpret that term very differently from Christians. They see Jesus similarly to the way that they see Moses, as a past prophet of God who attempted to teach the people His Will. However, Muslims believe that Jesus' teachings were corrupted and Mohammed was able to clarify the problems and corruptions in Jesus' teachings through further revelation.

Answer 6

The Qur'an specifically says that Jesus was not a divinity and therefore Muslims believe it. Furthermore, Muslims hold that several lines in the New Testament that allude to or directly state Jesus' divinity (including Mark 3:9-12, 5:7, 9:7-8, 13:36, John 1:32-34, 3:16, 5:17-30, 10:30, 10:36) are all forgeries and corruptions of the original gospel. They, therefore, have no need to address the claims of Jesus being God because all of those claims that are attributed to him are done so falsely.

Answer 7

Muslims believe that there is one God, Allah. Because they do not believe that God had a son, they recognize Jesus Christ as a lesser prophet of God, but nothing more.
