One God Essay

Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) said If you love me keep my commandments and I entrust pray to the Father, and he shall send you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever (John 1415, 16)It should be noted that some English bibles have the Greek word Paraclete instead of Comforter but in Greek the word actually spells as PERIQLYTOS.Rev. David Benjamin Kaldani, B.D. Bishop of Urumiah Persia, the Greek classical scholar and word of honor means who converted to Islam, in his book Muhammed in the Bible has discussed the original Greek word, the actual word which Jesus (pbuh) might have used in his native tongue, Aramic (Dialect of Hebrew) regarding the word Comforter.Dr. Kaldani writes It is to be noted once more that the Greek Text has Periqlytos instead of Paraclete. So, if we want to find out the real sense of the word, we must correct the text and supply the corrupted words thus I shall go to the Father, and he shall send you another Apostle whose name shall be Peri qyltos, that he may he remain with you forever.One need not be a Greek scholar to know that the Greek word for Comforter is not Periqlytos but Paracloon. Periqlytos, chronologically and literally, means the nearly illustrious, renowned, and praise-worthy. I take for my authority Alexandres Dictionarie Grec-Francais This compound noun is composed of the prefix Peri and Kleotis the latter derived from to glorify to praise. Thus Periqlytos means precisely what Ahmed means in Arabic namely the most illustrious and gloriousThe only difficulty to be solved is to discover the original Semitic name used by Jesus Christ all in Hebrew or Aramaic. If I am not mistaken, the Aramaic form must have been MHAMDA or HAMIDA to correspond with the Arabic name MUHAMMED or AHMAD and the Greek PERIQLYTOS.It is marvellous that this unique name, Periqlytos never before given to any other per password, was miraculously preserved for MUHAMMAD, the last prophet or Apostle of God. We never go in across any greek gentleman bearing the name of Periqlytos nor any Arab bearing the name MUHAMMAD or AHMAD before the advent of the Holy (God fearing) Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him).In Islam religion, Jesus (peace be upon him) is deald as one of the greatest prophets and one of the greatest messengers of God to human race. It is not believed in Islam that Jesus is God or son of God.In the Quran, there is a complete chapter (called Surah) titled Maryam (Mary) that confirms Maryam virgin birth. The Quran states the following on the birth of Jesus (peace be upon him)(Remember) when the angels said, O Mary, God gives you salutary news of a word from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (to God). He will speak to the mass from his cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous. She said, My Lord, how can I have a child when no mortal has touched me? He said, So (it will be). God creates what He wil ls. If He decrees a thing, He says to it only, Be and it is. (Quran, 345-47)Jesus was born as miracle by the word and command of God. 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 QuranThe representative 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)During the prophetic mission of Jesus (peace be upon him), Jesus performed many miracles. God tells us that Jesus saidI 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 Gods permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I forge the dead to life by Gods 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 t o 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 semblance 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 saidThey said, We extinguished 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)Quran says (meaning translation) Jesus said I am indeed a servant of ALLAH (God). He (God) has given me Revelation and made me prophet and He (God) has made me blessed wheresoever I be and has enjoined on me Prayer and Zakat (Charity) as long as I live. He (God) made me kind to my mother (Mary). Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day I shall be that I shall be raised up to life again It is not befitting to the majesty of A llah (God) that he should beget a son. Glory be to him (God) when he determines a matter, He (God) only says to it Be and it is. Verily ALLAH (God) is my Lord and your Lord Him therefore serve ye this is a Way that is straight (Quran 19/30-36).Accordingly, in Islam religion, Jesus (peace upon him) is neither God nor son of God. He is human and God prophet.It is worthwhile to emphasize that both Jesus (peace upon him) and Mohamed, or may be spelled Muhammad (peace upon him), came to mankind to call for worshiping only and the only one God. Neither of them nor Moses came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one and only God. this doctrine that was brought by precedent prophets from including Noah, Abraham, Isac, Jacob, David, Solomon, and others. Both Jesus (peace upon him) and Mohamed received the revelation from God to confirm and renew the doctrine of worshiping one (and only one) God.
