1Z-1: What The Qu'ran Says About Jesus (For the sake of Christians who fear Islam)

Remember the one who guarded her chastity. (Mary) We Breathed into her from Our Spirit and made her and her son a sign for all people. Sura 21:verse 91

In matters of faith, He has laid down for you (people) the same commandment that He gave Noah, which We have revealed to you (Muhammed) and which We enjoined on Abraham and Moses and Jesus: 'Uphold the faith and do not divide into factions within it'- what you (Prophet) call upon the idolaters to do is hard for them; God chooses whoever He pleases for Himself and guides towards Himself those who turn to Him. Sura 42:verse 13

Not only does the Qu'ran put Jesus up with Muhammed- the highest of those born here on Earth- and recognize Jesus as teaching the same Truth as Muhammed- and Abraham and Moses as well- but the Qu'ran even recognizes that what it calls upon us to do- which is to come together under God and not divide into factions- is hard for us- the Qu'ran has pity on the difficulties that we have had because we divide into factions! The Qu'ran feels your pain! Of course it is God who feels your pain... and it is formally recognized in Islamic Scripture! So take comfort- God knows that what He has called upon you to do is hard for you, and God pities you... and that pity is formalized as part of Islamic scripture!

So don't be afraid of Islam as a Christian- the holy scripture of Islam pities your pain!

Although it is hard, let's try to come together under God without dividing into factions- it will be worth it, and your pain will be healed!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson
