Why do Muslims accept the existence of Jesus and Judaism?
137938
They believe that Jesus was a prophet, not God, and he was a lesser prophet than Mohammed. Still important, but not nearly as important as Mohammed (in the eyes of a Muslim person). \n\nThey believe that Judaism exists because Judaism is a religion. As a Christian, I believe that other religions exist. So if that's what you mean, then it's just another religion.\n\nNow, as for Christians, I believe that we do accept the existence of Mohammed, but, in the eyes of Christians, Mohammed was basically someone who started a new religion that Christians don't support.\n\nAnd Christians don't believe in Allah because we believe in the one true God, and we don't believe the one true God is Allah. Christians believe in one God, and Muslims believe in one god, but they're different gods, if that makes sense. Muslims believe in Allah and Christians believe in Jesus, the Trinity, etc.

Not everyone believes in Jesus, people choose religions which are relevant to their lives.  Many people don't identify with Christianity, whereas the teachings of Mohammed seem to attract a lot of people.

Yes a follower of Christ is a Christian... please get to the point... Jews do not follow Christ, they cannot be called Christians. Muslims believe in Jesus but not that He is the Christ so they are not Christ followers. Im not yelling at you but cant you see why we cant come together and say "we're all christians" because we are not and Jews and Muslims will never say they are.

The Jewish 'bible' is the Christian Old Testament. We recognize Moses and Abraham and basically everyone in the Old Testament as true men of God. We differ on the person of Jesus Christ. The Jews, overall, reject Him as the true messiah. Whereas Christians believe He's the one that was to come. We're both monotheists, meaning, we believe there's only one true God. Unlike Hindus who believe in many gods.

Muslims, Jews, and Christians all worship the same God, the God of Abraham.\n\nJews believe the Messiah, the Savior, has not arrived yet. Jews believe Jesus Christ was a prophet, a divinely inspired man, but not the Messiah.\n\nChristians believe Jesus Christ was/is the Messiah and that  He was crucified as penance for humanity's sins.\n\nMuslims believe Jesus was a prophet, but their was another prophet after Him named Mohammed, and that Mohammed was the last of God's prophets.\n\nYou probably want to check Wikipedia for more info. But, yeah, all three religions pray to the same God.

No.  Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah because:\n\n1) Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies.\n2) Jesus did not embody the personal qualifications of the Messiah.\n3) Biblical verses "referring" to Jesus are mistranslations.\n4) Jewish belief is based on national revelation.

The Holy Quran : \n \n[9:1] This is a declaration of complete vindication on the part of Allah and His Messenger to the idolaters to whom you had announce a commitment that Islam would triumph in Arabia. \n\n[2:112] And they say. 'None shall ever enter Heaven unless he be a Jew or a Christian.' These are their vain desires. Say, 'Produce your proof, if you are truthful.'\n\n[[3:68] Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian but he was ever inclined to God and obedient to Him, and he was not of those who associate gods with the Lord.\n\n[2:114] And the Jews say, 'The Christians stand on nothing' and the Christians say, 'The Jews stand on nothing;' while they both read the same book. Even thus said those, who had no knowledge, like what they say. But God shall judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they disagree.\n\n[9:30] And the Jews say, 'Ezra is the son of God,' and the Christians say, 'the Messiah is the son of God;' that is what they say with their mouths. They only imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before them. \n\n[5:45] Surely, We sent down the Torah wherein was guidance and light. By it did the Prophets, who were obedient to US, judge for the Jews, as did the godly people and those learned in the Law, because they were required to preserve the Book of God,, and because they were guardians over it. Therefore fear not men but fear ME; and barter not My signs for a paltry price. And whoso judges not by that which the Lord has sent down, these it is who are the disbelievers.\n\n[62:7] Say, 'O ye who are Jews, if you claim that you are the friends of God to the exclusion of all other peoples, then wish for death, if, indeed, you are truthful.\n\n[22:79] And strive in the cause of the Lord as it behoves you to strive for it. He has chosen you and has laid no hardship upon you in the matter of religion; so follow the faith of your father Abraham; He has named you Muslims both before and in this Book, so that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and you may be witnesses over mankind. Therefore observe Prayer and pay the Zakaat, and hold fast to God. He is your Protector and an Excellent Protector and an Excellent Helper

If you are going to use your examples then clearly Jews and Muslims worship the same G-d and Christians do not.\n\nJews/Muslims worship ONE unified G-d Christians worship a 3 in 1 mixture that's a contradiction that they cannot themselves explain.\n\nso as far as I see it Jews and Muslims are the ones in agreement and Christens perverted the texts

The Fundemental differences are only slight.\n\nJews, in theory, still obey the law of Moses... most don't and there are hundreds of diferent types of jew.  They are awaiting a messiah to recommence the kingdom of david on Earth.\n\nChristians believe this messiah has been and gone and was called Jesus - who was God, or the son of God.  As such, unlike jews, Christians believe in an afterlife in the here and now. As in, you go straight to heaven when dead. They believe he brought a new covenant and was not only a Jewish messiah, but for all people.\n\nMuslims believe that Jesus was a Messiah, but not God. They believe in an Afterlife in the here and now, but believe that Muhammad was the last of the prophets.  he was needed because Jews and Christians allowed their holy texts to be altered, and a new unchangable text was needed - the Quran. (Koran). They also believe that the best way to live a life is to follow the example, or sunnah, of any prophet, but especially that of Muhammad - the seal of the prophets.

Islam honors all the prophets who were sent to mankind. Muslims respect all prophets in general, but Jesus in particular, because he was one of the prophets who foretold the coming of Muhammad. Muslims, too, await the second coming of Jesus. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah's prophets to mankind. A Muslim does not refer to him simply as "Jesus," but normally adds the phrase "peace be upon him" as a sign of respect. \nNo other religion in the world respects and dignifies Jesus as Islam does. The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary"), and Mary is considered to have been one of the purest women in all creation. The Qur'an describes Jesus' birth as follows: \n\n"Behold!' the Angel said, God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and he shall be of the righteous. She said: "My Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' \nHe said: "Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, \nHe says to it, 'Be!' and it is." [3:42-47]\n\nMuslims believe that Jesus was born immaculately, and through the same power which had brought Eve to life and Adam into being without a father or a mother.\n\n"Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." [3:59]\n\nDuring his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said: \n\n"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." [3:49]\n\nMuhammad and Jesus, as well as the other prophets, were sent to confirm the belief in one God. This is referred to in the Qur'an where Jesus is reported as saying that he came:\n\n"To attest the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." [3:50]\n\nProphet Muhammad emphasized the importance of Jesus by saying: \n"Whoever believes there is no god but Allah, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is a servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven. [Bukhari]

Those Christians who did accept it became Muslims. I'm sure it has happened plenty of times over history. (Islam believes the Qur'an to be the fourth and final book, so the philosophy is pretty similar).\n\nAs other people have said, though, not believing Jesus to be divine or to have been crucified is pretty difficult for Christianity to accept. So that's why the Church itself never has. It would kind of be the undoing of Christianity.

Yes it's possible..... because Allah is the Arabic word for God. It is also one of Allah's 99 names, and Allah is the very same God that christians and jews worship (there's only one)  Muslims believe in Jesus as a prophet the same as Abraham, Moses, Muhammad, and all the others.  His family is having a problem because Muslims worship God and God alone, with no son or partner. Muslims believe that worshipping Jesus as the son of God is polytheism, the biggest sin of all. ( the first commandment given to Moses says the same thing).

I don't even believe in the christian idea of God. why would Islam's version be any different?\nChristians and Musilims, and Jews have been bickering over the same old nonsense for too long. When humanity finally sheds the B.S. that is RELIGION- who's right, who's wrong, heaven & hell, boxers or briefs, yada yada yada....THEN mabey we can have some PEACE and quiet around here.\nYou should be proud that you are a musilim my dear. I'm proud of my Jewish herritage. We should ALL be proud of who we are and where we came from. Be objective. Try to look at issues from another's point of view. \nGood Luck to you.

Yes! Except Muslims don't believe that Jesus was a god.

There are reasons behind why christians do not submit to Allah:\n1. Misunderstanding about Islam and its followers on their part\n2. Misunderstanding about God(Allah) and the prophet Jesus the Son Of Marry(peace be upon him) on their part\n3. Personal Ego\nI am a muslim and come from a muslim family as well. I frankly believe that muslims are not portraying the true picture of Islam.\nPersonally i go do agree with George Bernard Shaw's saying:\n"Islam is the best religion and muslims are the best followers".\nAnd i frankly feel it is not appropriate to call them cowards.The Quran says that Allah does not force to convert  anyone to Islam and believe him and niether the muslims should do. There are so many cowards livnig among us e.g. our political leaders.\nThe Quran and the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) have taught to us observe tolerance with the People Of The Book(Jews and Christains) as long as they believe in one and only one God.\nPlease do not offend anyone's faith or any follower if you are interested to invite them to convert to Islam or like to have an inter-faith dialogue.

Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, not just a prophet.  There are many prophets in Christianity and true Christians ARE respectful to Muhammad as they would be to any Christian prophet.  They simply wouldn't hold him in as high esteem as the Son of God.
