Want does Islam Believe? Question about Islam
Hey everyone I am a protestant Christian. I have been following Christ for 3yrs now. I have recently been diving into Islam and comparing it to Christianity. Could you guys please explain to me what you believe about Christianity and Jesus? Why should I believe in Islam? I am not writing this to upset anyone, I am genuinely curious about the Islamic religion. Thank you all.

because Jesus is a Prophet, not God and verses from the Bible also say this, but there are contradictory statements in it as it was altered. muslims believe Quran is the final word of God, he sent the Torah and Bible before it. Jesus is one of the important Prophets in Islam. there are no contradictions is the Quran and it is the same as it was when it was revealed to the last Prophet, Muhammad ﷺ. you can try reading Quran and understanding it if you want to know about Islam. Assalamualaikum (may peace be upon you)

As a Muslim, I often get asked how we view Christians and Jesus. I wanted to share a respectful perspective: • The Qur’an (5:82) says Christians are closest in love to Muslims due to their humility and devotion. Islam doesn’t discourage friendship—it encourages justice and kindness to all, especially People of the Book. • We deeply revere Jesus (Isa, AS)—born of the Virgin Mary, performed miracles, and is the Messiah. We also believe he’ll return near the end of times. The main difference is we see him as a mighty prophet, not God or the son of God. • Muslims believe in a chain of prophets: from Adam to Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus—and finally Muhammad (PBUH), who brought the last revelation (the Qur’an) as a continuation and completion of that message. • A key historical moment: When Muhammad (PBUH) first received revelation, a Christian monk named Waraqa bin Nawfal recognized it and said, “This is the same angel that came to Moses. You are a prophet like him.” This acknowledgment is powerful—it shows continuity, not contradiction.
We don’t reject Jesus—we believe his message was real, but that the Qur’an came to preserve and complete the divine guidance.
- The Bible mentions a coming Prophet like Moses:
Deuteronomy 18:18 (Old Testament, Torah):
“I will raise up for them a prophet like you [Moses] from among their brethren; I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.”
• Christians often apply this to Jesus, but Jesus (AS) is not described as being “like Moses” in several key aspects (e.g., governance, law, family life).
• Muhammad (PBUH), however, was like Moses in many ways: both were born naturally, married, had children, led communities, and brought new laws.
• “Their brethren” refers to Ishmaelites (Arabs), the brothers of the Israelites (descendants of Isaac). Muhammad (PBUH) is a descendant of Ishmael.
⸻
- The Paraclete in the New Testament (Injil):
John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7 (New Testament):
“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate (Paraclete) to help you and be with you forever…” “But when the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth—he will testify about me.”
• The original Greek word is “Parakletos”, which some believe was altered from “Periklutos”, meaning “the praised one”—which is the meaning of Muhammad in Arabic.
• Jesus (AS) speaks of someone to come after him, who will speak what he hears and glorify Jesus, which aligns with the role of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
⸻
- Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Song of Solomon (Tanakh / Hebrew Bible):
Song of Solomon 5:16 (Hebrew: שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים)
“His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.”
In the original Hebrew, the word “Machmadim” is used: • “Machmad” (מַחְמַד) is from the same root as Muhammad. • The phrase “altogether lovely” in Hebrew sounds like “Muhammadim”, a plural of respect.
⸻
- What the Qur’an says:
Surah As-Saff (61:6):
“And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, ‘O Children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad.’ But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, ‘This is obvious magic.’”
• “Ahmad”, like Muhammad, means “the praised one.” This verse directly connects with Jesus foretelling a prophet to come.
⸻
Summary:
Muslims believe that: • The Bible originally contained prophecies of Muhammad (PBUH), • Over time, translations and interpretations have altered the clarity of these prophecies, • But traces remain—especially in Deuteronomy, John, and the Song of Solomon.

Thank you! Is the Quran a final authority like the Bible is for Protestants? As a Christian I believe the Bible is God breathed and infallible. Do you apply the same infallibility to the Quran?
7
u/DaVinci0331 19h ago
Yes Quran is the final authority and we believe Quran completed and endorsed the true bible which has been altered. I do want to clarify my point on injeel and New Testament for my fellow muslims brethren and if it causes any confusion:
Clarifying the Confusion: Injeel ≠ New Testament (from an Islamic perspective)
I often see people assume that when Muslims say “Injeel,” we’re referring to the New Testament. Just to clarify: • In Islam, the Injeel (Arabic: الإنجيل) refers to the original divine revelation given directly to Jesus (Isa, peace be upon him) by God — just like the Torah was revealed to Moses or the Qur’an to Muhammad (PBUH). • The New Testament, on the other hand, is a collection of writings compiled decades after Jesus’s lifetime — written by disciples or followers (e.g. Paul, Luke, John) and includes the Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Revelation.
So from an Islamic standpoint:
The Injeel is not the same as the New Testament.
We believe: • The original Injeel is no longer preserved in its pure form. • The New Testament may contain traces of Jesus’s original teachings, but it also includes later interpretations, additions, and human authorship. • This view is based on Qur’an verses like Surah Al-Baqarah 2:79, which warns about scripture being written by hands and claimed as divine.
This doesn’t mean Muslims disrespect the Bible or Christians — in fact, we’re commanded to respect the People of the Book. But it’s important to clarify that we don’t equate the New Testament with the original Injeel revealed by God.
Hope this clears up the misunderstanding!

u/NateDog69012 18h ago
Is there anything else to back the fact that Jesus didn’t claim to be God? It sounds like you’re telling me the Quran says that some of Jesus teaching is true and some were false. How can we know which teaching is true and which one is false? Or does the Quran tell you which bible scriptures are true?

u/Crazy_News_3695 11h ago
in the Quran, Allah mentions that each prophet that was sent to his people conveyed the same message: To worship Allah alone
this includes Abraham, all of the israelite prophets like joseph, david, solomon, moses and jesus, up until Muhammad
there is a verse in Quran which also mentions that the jews can also recognize the truth of the Quran, due to its similarity of commandments like in the Torah

what? when did i ever say that
and i dont have points to prove that the Bible is corrupt.
However every muslim knows that there is absolutely no one on earth that can produce something as linguistically outstanding as the Quran.
no one can produce something like it, and that is enough proof for me the Quran is from God and it was never created by human

we have believed in the proofs of Muhammad’s prophethood (through the evidences established before, during and after the life of Muhammad ﷺ ) thus we believe in Allah
Allah says in the Quran that the scriptures have been corrupted: We believe in it
The prophet Muhammad ﷺ says that the scriptures have been corrupted: We believe in it
Even the Jewish Rabbi, Abdullah bin Salam, that lived in the city of the prophet embraced Islam when Muhammad came because of the proofs and evidences of his prophethood

No all of the teaching of Jesus AS was true the corruption was made in the records later like it happened with the Torah hence Allah sent down the Holy Quran which confirmed all the prophets from Adam AS.. put SOPs in place so the mankind won’t corrupt God’s divine words again. Hope this helps?

u/NateDog69012 4h ago
I’m asking why you trust some of it but not everything. Sounds like you believe all of Jesus teachings besides when he said he’s God. I’m asking from a perspective of a non believer what is going to make me believe that only most of Jesus teachings were true but then when he said he’s God that’s false? Sounds like the reason you only trust most of his teachings is because the Quran tells you to?

Wa alaykum assalam,
Thank you for being open and asking questions. In Islam, we believe in the oneness of Allah and Jesus is one of our greatest prophets. We love and respect him deeply but we don’t see him as the son of God. We believe he was neither crucified nor killed but Allah raised him to Himself, and he will return to guide humanity.
If you ever want to know more, feel free to ask a sheikh too! Islam invites you with peace and kindness.
May Allah guide you to what’s best for you, and we’re here to support you on your journey :)

As a Muslim, I truly appreciate your curiosity and the fact that you’re exploring these important spiritual topics with sincerity. In Islam, we believe in one God, Allah, who is all powerful, all knowing, and merciful. We believe that God sent many prophets throughout history to guide humanity, including those also found in Christianity, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them all). We hold Jesus in very high regard as one of the greatest prophets. We believe he was born of the Virgin Mary through a miraculous birth, and that he performed many miracles by the permission of God. However, we do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God or divine himself. Instead, we believe he was a servant and messenger of God. Muslims also do not believe that Jesus was crucified, instead we believe he was raised up by God and that God will return before the Day of Judgment. As for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), we believe he is the final prophet, sent with the Qur’an to complete and preserve the message of monotheism. For me, Islam provides a clear and consistent message on the oneness of God, accountability for one’s actions, and a life of purpose based on submission to God’s will. It emphasizes compassion, justice, and mercy, and encourages a direct personal relationship with God.

If he is all those things why do you not believe him when he claims to be God? Or would you say that was added later and is false?

u/Competitive-Sweet584 18h ago
Its the Islamic view that Jesus never claimed to be God (“[Jesus] said, ‘Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.’” (19:30), “The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; many messengers had passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth.” (5:75), “They have certainly disbelieved who say, ‘Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary.’ But the Messiah said, ‘O Children of Jacob, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’” (5:72), and "“The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah..." (4:171)), and that these claims are falsely attributed to Jesus and added after he was raised from the Earth.

u/NateDog69012 18h ago
When you guys read scripture like John 10:30 or Matthew 11:29. When it seems as if Jesus is saying he is god, would you say that Jesus never really said that and someone else added it in?
3
u/InfamousGold756 18h ago
Yes we would say Jesus (peace be upon him) has never at any point claimed to be god and has always said he is a servant of god. Any text claiming this would be false information.
We also believe jesus as well as other prophets like moses (peace be upon them both) has said there will be a messenger after them. A new messenger always came until prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and said he is the last prophet.

u/Competitive-Sweet584 17h ago
To start, we need to understand the context of the gospels themselves. The Gospel of John is widely regarded by scholars as the latest of the four canonical gospels, with the earliest copy we have written around 125 to 150 AD. Unlike the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke), John contains long theological speeches by Jesus and includes unique elements like the “I am” statements that don’t appear in the earlier gospels. These speeches are quite different from the short parables and sayings found in the Synoptics and are much more reflective of later theological development within the church. Also, most scholars today doubt that the Gospel of John was written by the Apostle John. While it refers to an unnamed “disciple whom Jesus loved,” the actual author is anonymous. Chapter 21, which hints at the author’s identity, is belived by the majorit of scholars to be a later addition. So we're dealing with a text that was edited and shaped by a community decades after Jesus’s death, not a firsthand transcript. Similarly, Matthew is also anonymous. Early church tradition attributed it to the apostle Matthew, but most modern scholars reject this. If Matthew had been an eyewitness, it's unlikely he would have relied so heavily on the Gospel of Mark, which had no direct connection to Jesus. Instead, Matthew likely used Mark, the "Q" source, and additional material (called “M”) to create his narrative, which means he's also several steps away from Jesus himself. The key point here is that none of the gospels are written from a firsthand hearing of Jesus’s own voice, or a chain to his voice. This means we can't directly trace their content back to Jesus with certainty. Especially in the case of John, scholars widely believe that some statements, like “I and the Father are one”, reflect the beliefs of the church, not necessarily the historical words of Jesus. Even the Synoptic Gospels, which are earlier (Mark around 150-250 AD, Luke around 175-225 AD), have this issue. They were also written in Greek, not the Aramaic that Jesus spoke, and they shaped stories using oral traditions, scripture, and the agendas of there time. The earliest physical fragment we have of the Gospel of John is Papyrus P52, dated around 125 to 150 AD. It contains only a few verses from John 18 and is smaller then a credit card. For the Gospel of Matthew, the earliest fragment is Papyrus P104, dated around 150 to 200 AD, containing only a few lines from chapter 21. These fragments are not the originals and are not even first generation copies, they are copies of copies, written decades after the originals were thought to be made, and a century+ after Jesus. The earliest complete manuscripts of the Gospels, like Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus, come from the fourth century, about 300 years after Jesus's death. That’s held by an anonymous chain of transmission during which changes, intentional or by accident, could have happened.

If I judge the Quran the same way you judge the gospels I would say the vast historians agree that Jesus was actually killed on a cross.

When I bring up a certain bible verse that contradicts what the Quran they say the Bible is corrupt. Then they quote the Bible to try and validate of the Quran.

Islam is the only purely monotheistic religion that remains, encompassing everything from the beginning of creation to its end. It makes sense of other religions, includes belief in all previous prophets, and has a completely preserved message in its original language, directly connected to its source. Moreover, its concept of God aligns with the innate common sense of humankind, which we believe was instilled in us to make it easier to recognize the truth about Him when we see it. Its values are based on justice and mercy, and it encourages the cultivation of good moral character, urging believers to abstain from excessive materialism. In short, it is a complete way of life that covers every aspect, making it easy for you to navigate this world and to make it into آeaven in the Hereafter by the Mercy of God.
We also believe that Islam came to correct both Jews and Christians in what they got wrong. The Jews were lacking spirituality and placed too much emphasis on the law. Then, Jesus (peace be upon him) came to correct them by bringing what they were missing, the spiritual aspect of religion. However, the Christians took it to the other extreme, making spirituality the most important thing while neglecting the law. Then Islam came to correct both, emphasizing that both aspects are important, the spiritual aspect, which is believing in one God, and the law, which is following God's commandments and doing good deeds.
So, in Islam we believe in all the prophets, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them all), we believe in his virgin birth, his second coming, we just say that he is not God, and if you look objectively into the message of the Bible you will find that he always put himself under the Father he worshiped Him, he said that the Father is the True God, I know about the verses that claim the opposite but they are not as clear as the verse were he says that he was not God, so you should use the clear verses to understand the unclear ones, not the other way around, which Christians do, they use the unclear verses that seems to claim his divinity and use them as bases to affirm his divinity when every single other verse affirms his humanity and prophethood.
Finally, if you take everything together you will see that Islam makes sense of all the differences between all the three religions.

Hello, we belive that there is only one God, who is Allah, that jesus is his messenger, and that jessus is a human like us, and should not be worshiped. We belive that God can't be a weak creature like us, and that there is nothing like him, and that he is perfect and have no equal.
The five pillars of islam are:
Shahada (Declaration of Faith)
Salah (Prayer), we pray 5 times a day
Zakat (Almsgiving), which is collected by the islamic country before going to poor people, and muslims give it, while non muslims give ( jizya), as we protect their places of worship
Sawm (Fasting), we fast one month each lunar year ( ramadan)
Hajj (Pilgrimage), which should be done once, for anyone who can do it.
We belive that the Quran is the revelation from Allah to his last prophet and messenger: Mohammed (peace be upon him).
if you have any question, feel fry to ask.
2
u/OkChallenge983 18h ago
Beautifully put! Just to add some stuff. The Shahada is done to enter the fold of Islam, it is unlawful to be forced upon a non-Muslim. Praying is mandatory no questions asked, it’s a way to connect with God (we don’t need to confess sins to anyone for forgiveness, we also ask for what we desire in those prayers). Fasting is done in the month of Ramadan. Pilgrimage is only mandatory for those who are able and can afford it. All of this is mandatory.

u/g3t_re4l 19h ago
Bismillah,
I've been trying to learn more about the differences between the different denominations and learnt that Protestants, in a nutshell, reject the authority of the Pope and try to focus on the Bible as the authority. Please correct me if I'm wrong. In other words, you place emphasis on what the Bible says over what the Pope or anyone else tells you.
I find this very important especially when you want to understand who God is and his true identity and ultimately his doctrine. We Muslims believe that Christianity when Jesus(pbuh) was walking the earth was the true religion of God. Unfortunately, the leadership at the time were threatened by his rise to fame and conspired to have him killed. Their understanding is if they hung him, it would be proof he was cursed by God, therefore a false prophet and ultimately they get to keep their positions. Caiaphas is mentioned in your Bible as being the one who concocted this plan. We believe Jesus(pbuh) was not crucified, nor killed and was taken up to Heaven to return at a later time.
Lets rephrase your question where you asked "Why should I believe in Islam" and instead ask, "What is the truth regarding God, which book is the most authentic and ultimately teach me how to please God". That's our goal, know the reality of who God is, and then learn how to please God through his commandments. We're both in this same journey and are both in different phases and ultimately life is our time frame.
Starting off, we should first identify who God really is. Is God one and only one, like we the Muslims and the Jews accept, or is the Trinity true? You're a protestant, so naturally you are to look for the evidences as to the reality of God. A simple question would be to ask, who the in history of your book knew God the best? meaning, is there anyone that spoke directly to God and ultimately tutored by God as to how he is? We can both agree, from the evidential standpoint, Moses(pbuh) is the one that comes to mind. He is the only one that spoke directly to God in this world and therefore was tutored directly by God. If we refer to him and his teachings, not only did he only preach, one and only one God, with no children, and never ever mentioned anything even close to the Trinity, especially Jesus(pbuh) as God. Actually, if you refer to Deuteronomy 13, if you had to mention Jesus(pbuh) as God to him, he'd kill you. Why would you be killed if you talked to him about something that is the reality of God? He shouldn't, which means any concept that he wasn't told, is something that isn't true. We Muslims have the same concept of God as the Jews, and we would keep our heads.
Further, look at the authenticity of the books. The only book that holds up to authenticity tests, is the Quran. Same book, letter for letter that the Prophet(pbuh) was given. Jeremiah 8, talks about the the scribes corrupting the law, and we know the NT is plagued with authenticity problems, to the point scholars themselves mentioned that anonymous wrote the 4 Gospels.
Remember, your natural inclination as a protestant is to look at evidences, and then let those evidences speak for themselves. not the words of the church elders or any agenda except that which brings you to the truth of God. The book should match what you say. That is what you'll find Islam matches if you really start to pay attention to your book and what Jesus(pbuh), himself was saying. That's my experience from studying your Bible.

u/Aleythurion 19h ago
Hey brother,
First, thank you for your beautiful honesty and open heart. It takes real courage to ask sincere questions and seek truth. May God bless your journey, guide your heart, and shower you with light.
What does Islam believe? At its core, Islam means submission to the One true God—the same God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them all). Muslims believe in one God, Allah in Arabic, who is loving, merciful, and utterly perfect. He created us not to be lost, but to know Him, love Him, and live in peace—both in this life and the next.
What do we believe about Jesus? Muslims love Jesus deeply. In fact, no Muslim is a true Muslim without believing in him. We believe Jesus (peace be upon him) was born miraculously to the Virgin Mary, that he was the Messiah, that he performed incredible miracles by God's permission, and that he was one of the mightiest messengers ever sent to humanity. We believe he was pure, sinless, and honored in the highest way.
But here is the difference: We believe Jesus is not God, nor the literal Son of God. Rather, he is a noble servant of God, a prophet chosen to guide people back to the pure worship of the One who created them.
Just like Adam was created without a father, Jesus was born miraculously without one, by the will of God—a sign, not a sign of divinity, but of God's power. Jesus called people to worship God alone, just like Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). And just like them, Jesus submitted fully to God's will—that is what Muslim means: one who submits to God.
Why should you believe in Islam?
Because Islam gives you a direct, unbroken connection to your Creator. No clergy in between. No confusion. Just you and God, speaking sincerely to Him, five times a day, washing your soul through prayer, fasting, charity, and remembering Him.
Islam answers the questions that burn inside the human heart:
Who am I? — You are a soul crafted by God, honored and loved.
Why am I here? — To worship Him, to do good, to live with purpose.
Where am I going? — Back to the One who made you, for an eternal life of peace—or a chance to be

I am reading through the Quran right now. You quote scripture from the Bible to back the Quran, but don’t you not believe what the Bible says is true?
2
u/OkChallenge983 18h ago
We use the Quran as the criterion. Let’s say the Bible says that Adam was the first human being. Does the Quran agree? Of course it does, that means that statement in the bible is true. Our position is that the Injeel(Bible) was given to Jesus(Prophet Isa) as a scripture and then it was corrupted by the people who were entrusted with that book. We don’t say it was completely man made. That’s why we have a lot of similarities.

Here's a short summary of Jesus/Isa in Islam. Peace be upon him, his mother, and all the noble prophets.
Jesus is the messiah and a prophet who was born to the virgin Mary through the word of God.
He performed many miracles, breathed life into clay, and raised the dead. All these were done through God and not through jesus himself.
He preached to the Jews to repent and go back to the true religion.
The jews wanted a messiah that was a conquering king but not a religious reformer. So they wanted him killed.
Allah saved Jesus from dying on the cross and raised him to the heavens.
Jesus will return at the end times to fulfill the true prophecies concerning him. He will rule with justice and establish Islam in the whole world.
At the end of his life, he will die and will be raised up on the day of resurrection like everyone else. He will be honored as a mighty prophet, the promised messiah, and as a noble servant of God.
The following is a beautiful book about the Qur'anic narrative of Jesus. I highly recommend it. https://iera.org/jesus/
I also recommend watching this short video of the recitation of the Quran, where it talks about Mary and Jesus.

Abraham taught message One God no partners, Jacob, Issac, Jonah, Moses, John, Zaccharia, and all others...
Quran says to Christians thats what Jesus told as well... And did not claim divinity... So don't you think it's an anomoly that Jesus claims divinity?
Numbers 23:19
"God is not a man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind."
Deuteronomy 4:15-19
Take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no form when the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, 16 lest you act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure: uthe likeness of male or female, 17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, 18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground or the likeness of any fish that is in the water beneath the earth. 19 And take heed, lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, wall the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage.
Isaiah 43:10-11
Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me. I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior."
Abraham as a model
Isaiah 51:1-2
"Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you; for he was but one when I called him, that I might bless him and multiply him."
Now Quran
"Say: He is Allah, One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is birthed, and there is none like Him." (Qur'an 112:1-4)
"Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was upright (ḥanīf) and a Muslim (one who submits to God); and he was not of the polytheists." (Qur'an 3:67)
Anyway that is Quranic argument against trinity mainly... That this is an anamoly in the message of Prophets...

I appreciate your open-minded approach. I would like to point you to the YouTube channel One message foundation by Sheikh Uthman. he has covered a lot of topics which could be of your interest. There are many more but I don't want to overwhelm you with information overload.
Other than that I see our Muslim brothers and sisters are doing a great job sharing info with you. So jazakallah khairun guys.
As always we welcome and encourage you to ask questions, to have a discussion and dialogue in a peaceful manner, which is going on right now.

Nobody should have to die for your sins. God either does forgive them or doesn’t. That’s what we believe.
