Introduction
In our fast-paced age, the airlines have brought dis-
tant continents closer together. Many move freely
among countries. We have become a "Global Village"
- the daily output of books, television and radio pro-
grams has influenced the minds of all, sometimes caus-
ing confusion and frustration. The world is abuzz with
all kinds of problems. Despite incredible advances in
technology, the old question remains: What is eternal
truth? If we listen to one another we can broaden our
horizons and find an answer to this baffling question.

A THOUGHT-PROVOKING QUESTION
A servant of the Lord was allowed to visit a prison
frequently in an Arab country; here he declared the way
of life to the imprisoned criminals. He had a legal permit
to visit all who wanted to hear the peaceful message of
Truth which can purify the heart and change the mind.
That man of God would enter the prison rooms without
a watchman, refusing to be guarded. He believed that
the prisoners would open themselves freely in an hon-
est discussion only if they were not watched. He en-
tered into their rooms boldly and sat with them privately.
Once, he entered into a room packed with hardened
criminals who were sentenced for longer terms. They
knew him from his previous visits and were accustomed
to hearing his messages. After his visits, they discussed
his messages for days with great enthusiasm.
When he visited them this time, they closed the door
behind him suddenly, saying, "We will not let you go
until you honestly answer our question." He replied: "I
came to you voluntarily, without the company of an
armed guard. I am ready to answer your questions from

the Word of God according to my knowledge. I cannot
answer what I do not know." They said to him: "We do
not ask you about the mysteries of the universe. We
only ask you, as an upright man, to give us a clear
answer to the comparison that has stirred us up: Who
is greater, Muhammad or Christ?"
When the minister heard this question, he stopped a
moment to take a breath, and said to himself: "If I say,
'Muhammad is greater,' the Christian prisoners may
oppose or attack me. And if I say, 'Christ is greater,' the
Muslim prisoners could attempt to kill me." He knew that
an insult or a harsh word against Muhammad was
considered an offense worthy of death. The man of God
prayed in his heart, asking the Lord to grant him a wise
and convincing answer to those prisoners. And the Holy
Spirit guided this minister who stood alone among the
prisoners, behind the closed doors, to humbly present
a straight and clear answer.
When the servant of the Lord did not answer quickly,
for he was praying silently, the prisoners urged him: "Do
not dodge your responsibility. Do not be a coward. Tell
us the truth. We promise that no harm will come to you,
no matter what you say. Do not lie to us, nor conceal
your inner thoughts on this subject. Tell us the whole
truth."

The servant of God replied: "I am ready to tell you the
real facts. The question you are confronting me with is
not the lecture I have prepared for you. However, if you
have decided to listen to a comparison between Mu-
hammad and Christ, I will not conceal the truth from
you. Anyway you should understand that I am not
responsible for any negative outcome that could result
from our study today. You are the ones responsible, for
you have demanded that I should answer a question I
neither raised ngr intended to mention."
The minister continued: "I myself will not say who the
greatest is. I will leave this decision to the Quran and
the Islamic Traditions. They have already given a de-
cisive and convincing answer. You may ponder what
the Quran has to say about the hidden truth, and the
truth shall set you free."

THE BIRTHS OF MUHAMMAD AND CHRIST
It is common knowledge that the father of Muhammad
was Abdallah; and his mother, Amina. Muhammad was
a man born of an acknowledged father and a respected
mother. Neither the Quran nor Muslim scholars claim
that Muhammad was born in a supernatural way. His
birth was not announced by an angel, nor was he born
by the Word of God. He was born in a natural way as
we all are, from a human father and a human mother.
As for Christ, the Quran states several times that He
was not born in the normal way, as we are. His Father
was not a human being. He was conceived in the Virgin
Mary without the interference of a human father, for
Allah breathed His spirit into her. This makes Christ -
exclusively - the only one in the whole world who was
born of the Word of God and His spirit.
Truly, the Messiah, Isa, Son of Mariam, the
ambassador of Allah, is His word that He
bestowed upon Mariam; and He is Spirit of Him
(Women 4:171).
 ä     % il	T         l ill»

We breathed in her of our Spirit (The Prophets
21:91).
We breathed in Him of our Spirit (The Forbidding
66:12).
Christ is not a usual man, but the divine Spirit
incarnated in human flesh. Thus He was born of the
Spirit of God and the Virgin Mary. In contrast,
Muhammad was born of a father and a mother, like all
humans. He was not born of the Spirit of God.

Ill
THE DIVINE PROMISES ABOUT MUHAMMAD
AND CHRIST
We will recite from the Quran the divine promises to
Mary (Mariam) about Christ who was to be born to her:
"O Mariam, Allah gives you good tidings of 'a Word
from Him1 whose name shall be the Messiah, Isa,
the son of Mariam, highly honored in this world and
the next; and he shall be one of those brought near
'to Allah'" (The House of Imran 3:45).
 j    $&b art
 JT)	yl\	li\    l
The Most High Himself evangelized Mary and in-
formed her personally about the birth of Christ, calling
Him "A Word from Him." All the prophets heard the
Word of God and transcribed it sincerely. As for Christ,
He not only heard the inspired Word, He Himself was
the incarnation of the divine Word. In Him dwelt the full
authority of the Word of God, with all its creative,
healing, forgiving, comforting and renewing power. Re-
garding this unique fact, Allah foretold the birth of Christ
10

to Mary personally, confirming to her the reality of that
great miracle.
We cannot read in the Quran that Muhammad was
the incarnate Word of God. He only heard the Word of
God from an angel and recited it to his listeners. God
did not announce the birth of Muhammad to his mother;
neither was the spirit of God breathed into her. On the
other hand, Mary personally faced the Angel Gabriel,
who was sent of God to kindly explain to her the work
of the Holy Spirit in her. She is the only one chosen
among all women, as the Quran states:
"O Mariam, God has chosen you and purified you;
He has chosen you above all women" (The House
of Im ran 3:42).
 j     j$s	All!
 JT)
The name of Mary (Mariam) is repeated 34 times in
the Quran; in contrast, the name of Muhammad's
mother is never mentioned in the Quran - not even
once. When Muhammad requested forgiveness for her
after she had died, Allah stopped him; this made him
weep bitterly.
11

IV
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF MUHAMMAD
AND CHRIST
It is said that when Muhammad was a child, two
angels came and purified his heart. Muslim scholars
support this story following the Quranic verse:
"Did we not open (expand) your breast and take
out from you your burden (wizr), that weighed
down your back?" (The Expanding 94:1-3).
From that time on, Muhammad assumed the honor-
able title al-Mustafa, "The Chosen One." He was not
pure and righteous in himself, for the two angels had to
lift up the burden from his heart to purify him. Muham-
mad needed "heart surgery" to be purified and to
become a prophet and messenger of Allah.
On the other hand, we read in the Quran that the Son
of Mary would be "most pure" from the moment of His
birth; the angel said to her:
12

"I am but a messenger from your Lord, to give you
a boy most pure" (Mary 19:19).
The Muslim scholars al-Tabari, al-Baidawi, and al-Za-
makhshari agreed that the expression "most pure"
means blameless, guiltless and sinless. Before Christ
was born, divine inspiration declared that the one who
was to be born out of the spirit of God would always live
pure, without a single sin. There was no need to purify
His heart, for He was holy in Himself. The Son of Mary
did not hear the Word of God only; He was it. There was
no difference between His actions and His words. He
remained blameless and without sin.
The Quran testifies several times that certain
prophets committed specific sins - except Christ, who
lived always blameless and pure. The Spirit of God kept
Him, from His birth, in perfect holiness, despite the fact
that He was human. He did not fall into temptation
because He was the Spirit of God incarnate.
Muhammad confesses openly three times in the
Quran that he had to ask for the forgiveness of Allah:
"Ask forgiveness for your sin and praise your Lord
at evening and at dawn" (The Believer 40:55).
13

"Ask forgiveness for your sin, and for the believers,
men and women. God knows your goings to and
fro, and your lodging" (Muhammad 47:19).
"We granted you a clear victory, to forgive your
sins from the past and in the future" (Victory
48:1-2).
 }jA   aJuD   U   aJJI   »DJ   ^Ä^Ü   L^J   UeI3   kDJ   LäIS   Ul))
.(Y * ):
Some Muslims refuse to accept these verses which
the Quran clearly reveals in its pages. Others try to
explain the truth away.
Muhammad was a normal man, born of two parents.
He lived a natural life and sinned as we sin. He asked
Allah for the forgiveness of his sins. Christ, however,
was born of the Spirit of God; He was the Word of God
incarnate, living purely and in holiness from His birth.
14

V
THE INSPIRATION OF MUHAMMAD
AND CHRIST
Muhammad claimed to have received his inspiration
through the Angel Gabriel, the faithful spirit. It is men-
tioned in many Traditions that whenever the inspiration
came upon him, Muhammad went into a semi-coma. In
the book al-Rewaya, it is mentioned that he changed
from his normal state and looked like a drunkard, almost
passing out. Some Muslim scholars said that he was
taken out of this world. Abu Huraira said, "When inspir-
ation came down on Muhammad, he was stricken with
dread." In the book al-Rewaya, it is written: "Depression
showed on his face, and his eyes sank. Sometimes he
fell into a deep sleep." Omar b. al-Khattab said, "When
the inspiration came upon him, a noise like the humm-
ing of bees could be heard around his face." Muham-
mad was asked how he received the inspiration; he
answered: "Sometimes it comes upon me like the ring-
ing of bells, which is the hardest form of inspiration for
me; and when I come through, I remember what was
said."
15

Muslim scholars agreed that Muhammad "felt heavy
every time the inspiration came upon him; his forehead
dripped with cold sweat; sometimes he fell into a deep
sleep, with his eyes turning red." Zaid b. Thabit said:
"When the inspiration came down upon Muhammad, he
himself became heavier. One time, his thigh fell against
my thigh, and I swear to God, I have never found
anything that was heavier than the thigh of Muhammad.
Whenever the inspiration came upon him, while he was
on his camel, it limped, and its leg was thought to be
broken; and sometimes it squatted" (Mastery in the
Quranic Sciences, by al-Soyouti; 1:45-46). According
to Muslim scholars and their testimonies, Allah did not
speak to Muhammad directly but dealt with him only
through the Angel Gabriel. Allah remained far away
from him, even at the time of the inspiration.
In contrast, God never sent the Angel Gabriel to
Christ, and Christ never received inspiration through a
third party. He Himself was the Truth incarnate (Mary
19:34), the eternal Word of God, and a Spirit from Him,
from within God, full of knowledge of His will. If anyone
wants to study the will of God in depth, he should study
the life of Christ carefully, for He is the incarnate will of
the Almighty. The Quran tells us further that Allah
Himself taught Christ the Book, wisdom, the Torah and
the Gospel, before His incarnation:
16

"And He will teach Him the Book, the Wisdom, the
Torah, and the Gospel" (House of Imran 3:48).
J     0-
Christ knows all the secrets of heaven and earth,
because Allah told Him all that had been written in the
Heavenly Book (al-Lauh al-Mahfudh), including the
whole Torah, The Wisdom of Solomon and the Gospel.
So Christ was full with the Word of God. He did not
speak anything but the words of God. According to the
Quran, He uttered words of comfort and guidance to
His mother, immediately after His birth, like an adult:
"But the one that was below her called to her, 'Do
not be sorrowful; see, your Lord has set below you
a great person. Shake the palm-trunk, and there
shall come tumbling around you dates fresh and
ripe. Eat therefore, and drink, and be comforted;
and if you see anyone, say: 'I have vowed to the
All-Merciful a fast. Today I will not speak to any
man'" (Mary 19:24-26).

17

According to the Quran, Christ spoke the words of
God when He was still an infant. He did not need an
angel or middle-man, because He is the Word of God
and His Spirit. For this reason, the power of God worked
in the Son of Mary, creating, healing, forgiving, comfor-
ting and regenerating.
The conclusion of the inspiration to Muhammad in the
Quran and the Traditions was summed up in the Sharia
(Islamic Law), which contains all the divine commands
and prohibitions. The final form of the inspiration to
Muhammad took shape as "books": the Quran and the
Traditions, which are summarized in the Sharia.
18
The inspiration of Christ is "His own self." His Gospel
is not a law but the revelation of His life, the description
of His Person. Moreover, Christ granted His followers
the power of the Holy Spirit, so that they can fulfill His
commandments. His disciples do not believe in a book
or a religion primarily, neither do they live under a law;
much more, they believe in a person. They hang on to
Christ tightly, personally and follow Him. Christ is the
very inspiration of God.

VI
THE SIGNS OF MUHAMMAD AND CHRIST
Muslim scholars claim that the miracles Allah granted
to Muhammad were the verses of the Quran in the
Suras. Therefore, the wonders of Muhammad were not
deeds but words.
The Quran testifies on behalf of Jesus, describing His
unique works and supreme acts of healing. Christ did
not curse His enemies, nor did He behave as a tyrant.
He revealed Himself as the fountain of kindness and
the source of love and mercy. The power of God
emanated from Him by the many wonderful signs that
He performed.
The Blessed, Greatest Physician
The Quran confirms that Christ healed blind men
without surgical procedures or medicine. He healed
them by uttering powerful words. His word proved to
have healing power - then as well as now. Christ says
according to the Quran:
"He made me blessed wherever I shall be," (Mary
19:31).
19

He is the true fountain of blessing to all people in all
ages (The House of Imran 3:49; The Table 5:110).
The Son of Mary did not fear those afflicted with
leprosy, but touched their ailing skin and healed them
with His purifying Word. Christ is the greatest Physician
of all times. He loved the poor and received the sick.
He created hope and faith in them. He healed every
sick person that was presented to Him.
He Raised the Dead
One of the greatest wonders of Christ was that He
raised the dead; this is confirmed in the Quran as well
as in the Gospel. He raised a young girl, a young man,
and an adult from the dead. Who can raise the dead
but God alone! It is of utmost importance for us to grasp
the depth of the meaning in several Quranic verses that
declare the undeniable fact that Christ raised the dead
repeatedly (The House of Imran 3:49; The Table
5:110).
Some superficial critics say that the Son of Mary was
not able to perform miracles on His own, but that it was
God who strengthened Him through the Spirit of the
Holy, enabling Him to accomplish the different wonders.
They base their claim on the following Quranic verses:
20

"We gave Isa the son of Mariam the clear signs,
and strengthened Him with the Spirit of the Holy"
(The Cow 2:87).

"Those Messengers, we have preferred some
above others; some there are to whom Allah
spoke, and some He raised in rank, and we gave
Isa, the Son of Mariam, clear signs and
strengthened Him with the Spirit of the Holy" (The
Cow 2:253).
 -MtT
 41)1
"When Allah said, Isa Son of Mariam, remember
My blessing upon you and upon your mother,
when I strengthened you with the Spirit of the Holy,
to speak to men in the cradle, and as an adult; and
when I taught you the Book, the Wisdom, the
Torah, the Gospel; and when you created the
likeness of a bird out of clay, by My leave; then
you breathed in it, then it was a (real) bird, by my
leave; and you healed the blind and the leper by
21

My allowance, and you raised the dead by My
allowance'...And the unbelievers among them
said, 'This is nothing but sorcery manifest'" (The
Table 5:110).
J         d	£	T	aIJI 315 jIjj

j cJii 51 j Jib J^il £j£ 51 j (j5U ^
What a surprise! The Quran testifies repeatedly to the
perfect cooperation among Allah, the Christ and the
Holy Spirit. The three cooperated in a complete unity,
performing the miracles of Christ together. Christians,
too, believe in the cooperative action of the Holy Trinity.
The Young Creator
We read in the Quran - not in the Gospel - that Jesus,
as a boy, formed from clay the likeness of a bird, and
breathed into it; then it became a living bird, flying in the
sky:
"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, I
will create for you out of clay as the likeness of a
22

bird; then I will breathe into it, and it will be a bird
by the allowance of God. I will also heal the blind
and the leper, and bring to life the dead by the
allowance of God" (The House of Imran 3:49).
r C)\j*. jT) ((aJJI aoL» VJL Aj^li -us
In this verse, we find the unique phrase, "I will create
for you," which indicates that Christ is the able Creator.
A human can neither create something out of nothing,
nor breathe life into something that was lifeless.
The Quran testifies to the ability of Christ to give life
by His quickening breath. He breathed into a clay bird
and it became a living bird, exactly as God breathed
into Adam earlier. This means that Christ has a life-giv-
ing Spirit in Himself; He is capable of breathing life into
lifeless clay.
The Kind Provider
The multitudes in Palestine noticed the unlimited
ability of the Son of Mary and followed Him, even into
the desert, disregarding the time and ignoring difficult
circumstances. They listened to Him until dark. The
Quran testifies that Christ provided a table of food,
23

which He brought down from heaven to satisfy the
crowd in the desert:
"The Apostles said, O Isa the Son of Mary, is your
Lord able to send down on us a Table out of
heaven?' He said, 'Fear God, if you are believers.'
They said, 'We desire that we should eat of it and
our hearts be at rest; and that we may know that
you have spoken true to us, and that we may be
among its witnesses.' Said Isa the Son of Mary, 'O
God, our Lord, send down upon us a Table out of
heaven, that shall be for us a festival, the first and
last of us, and a sign from you. And provide for us;
You are the best of providers.' Allah said, Truly I
will send it down on you. Whoever of you
afterwards will disbelieve, I shall chastise him with
a chastisement with which I chastise no other
being"' (The Table 5:112-115).

♦ ())0-11T:0 0Ju

Muslim scholars have discussed from all angles the
quantity and quality of the food provided on that table
in the desert, rather than examining the Person who
provided it. According to the Gospel, Christ used five
loaves of bread and two fish, gave thanks, and with
these articles fed five thousand men, besides the
women and children. In this He demonstrated His un-
limited authority as Creator in a practical way. Christ
never uttered empty words; He did what He taught and
manifested His will and love through great and mighty
miracles.
The Revealer of Secrets
In the Quran, Muhammad declares:
"I do not say to you that I possess the treasuries
of God. I know not the unseen" (Cattle 6:50).
But with Christ, the case is different. Muhammad
pointed at Jesus Christ and said that He is the one who
knows the secrets of men and sees the unseen; these
abilities are reserved for God alone. Muhammad
quotes Christ in the Quran:
"I will inform you of what you eat, and what you
treasure up in your houses. Surely in that is a sign
25

for you, if you are believers" (House of Imran 3:49).
26
Muhammad described the capacity of Christ as the
All-knowing, in order to reproach and to warn some of
his egotistic followers. He was disgusted with some of
his Muslims from Medina because they had hidden food
and treasures in their homes, refusing to share all their
fortune with the immigrants from Mecca. So he warned
them that Christ would come back soon as a Judge, to
rule on the Day of Judgement. Muhammad confessed
that Christ would know all that they had done in the
privacy of their homes. He would know not only what
they had eaten, but also what they had hidden. There
would be no escape from His eyes on the Judgement
Day. There is hardly a greater proof or better admission
on the part of Muhammad for the deity of Christ than
this one. He confessed that Christ knows the hidden
truth and can read the secrets in the hearts of men. He
knows all your secrecies in detail. He will manifest your
deeds whether good or evil, for He is the All-knowing.
No one can hide anything from Him.

The Wise Legislator
We read in the Quran that Christ permitted His fol-
lowers what was forbidden under the Law of Moses.
Christ did not force them to fulfill all the orders of Moses.
In the Gospel, Christ made it clear that all the food which
enters the stomach does not defile us; it is the thoughts
that come out of our hearts that make us unclean: "Out
of the heart proceed evil thoughts: murder, adultery,
fornication, theft, false witness, blasphemy" (Matthew
15:19). Christ revealed a legislative revolution, for He
was the divine Lawgiver and Legislator who assumed
the right and authority to perfect and complete the Law.
The Quran confirms this unique privilege of Christ; that
He was not subject to the Law, but rules above it and
perfects it. Moses, all the prophets, and everyone else
in the Old Testament lived under the Law. They were
expected to fulfill the Law, but Christ had the authority
and the power to perfect and complete it. For this
reason, He declares in the Quran:
"I came confirming what is in my hands from the
Torah, and to permit you some of what had been
forbidden to you" (House of Imran 3:50).
27

In the Gospel, Christ says: "You have heard that it
has been said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth...' But I say to you, love your enemies, bless them
that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray
for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you..."
(Matthew 5:38-44).
The Renewer of Hearts and Minds
Blessed is he who realizes that Christ is not merely
an ordinary human or a mere prophet but the divine
Legislator with the authority of God. Muhammad, how-
ever, was commanded by the angel to seek the counsel
of the people of the Book, so that he could understand
the meaning of the revelation given to him:
"If you are in doubt concerning that which we have
sent down to you, ask those who have been
reading the Book before you" (Jonah 10:94).
i    ^jSi jLii ill]} üjyi ii« iü. j
Christ did not need to ask the teachers of the Old
Testament about the mysteries of the Law of Moses,
neither did He require details of its message, for He
Himself was the Word of God and the Legislator of the
Law. Christ was actually the Law incarnate. He has the
28

right that obedience be paid to Him. The Quran quotes
Christ as having said:
"Fear God, and obey me" (House of Imran 3:50).
.(o.:r u'j
All men, Hindus, Jews, Muslims and Christians,
should study the Gospel carefully, keep it by heart, and
follow Christ in all aspects of their lives. Christ has the
right and authority to demand obedience from every
individual!
Christ did not lead His disciples to God only, He called
them to follow Him and to apply His teachings. For this
reason, the Quran portrays the followers of Christ with
the best of descriptions, such as: Helpers of God,
believers, Muslims, His followers and martyrs (The
House of Imran 3:52-53). We read of His followers in
the Quran:
"We sent finally Isa, the Son of Mariam, and
entrusted to Him the Gospel. And We inserted into
the hearts of those who follow Him compassion
and mercy" (The Iron 57:27).
 'ffyA    jji\    ^u.,^1   llliSj   L4-*i>2   f^J^'    (J*   ^4
29

In the Quran, Allah says:
"O Isa I will cause you to die, and will raise you up
to Me, and will purify you of those who believe not.
I will set your followers above the unbelievers till
the Resurrection Day. Then to Me shall you return"
(House of Imran 3:55).
fit J! WJ& 01$ ä
These Quranic verses state that the true followers of
Jesus are a higher, special, and distinct class of people.
They are humble, not wanting to boast or become big.
Muhammad declared:
"You will surely find the nearest of them in
sympathy to the believers are those who say, 'We
are Christians,' because some of them are priests
and monks, and they do not want to become
proud" (The Table 5:82).
The Quranic testimonies point to the greatest miracle
of Christ, showing His ability to silently cause political
and social changes without war or deception. He re-
30

news and converts disobedient sinners, changing them
from egoists to loving people, from boasting chiefs to
humble servants of God. Christ Himself confessed that
He did not come to be served but to serve and to give
His life as a ransom for many (Matthew 20:28).
Everyone who compares the wonders of Muhammad
with the wonders of Christ discovers that the signs of
Muhammad were only words, whereas the signs of
Christ were miracles manifested in His works of love
and deeds of mercy.

VII
THE DEATHS OF MUHAMMAD AND CHRIST
Ibn Hisham reported in his biography about the
Prophet that Muhammad died after suffering from a
high fever. Prior to his death, Muhammad claimed that
the poison of the Jews had broken his heart. When a
Jewish slave-woman laced his food with poison, a
guest who was eating with him died! Muhammad him-
self sensed the poisoned food and spat out what was
in his mouth before swallowing it. However, his body
absorbed some of the poison, and that is what event-
ually caused his death.
The death of Christ, however, was clearly prophesied
in the Quran, fulfilling the plan of God as a blessing for
all men. In the Quran, the Almighty speaks directly to
Jesus:
"I will cause you to die, and raise you up to Me"
(The House of Imran 3:55).
.(oo:r ö\j*z jT)«S! ^13j ^j^ Jj»
Even though this quotation is not written in the Gos-
pel, it proves that Christ, according to the Quran, was
32

not killed accidentally, but died in accordance with the
will of God, in peace.
The Quran does not deny the historical death of Christ
as some unbelievers claim, for we read the prophecy
which Christ uttered about His own death, in Sura
Mariam 19:33:
"Peace be upon me, the day I was born, the day I
die, and the day I am raised up alive."
This great confession of the Quran confirms that
Christ was born, died and rose from the grave. With this
declaration, Muhammad supported the teachings of the
Gospel. Everyone who believes in the sequence of this
historical event shall live with Him who is alive now and
for evermore!
When Christ returns to this earth, He will never die
again. He did not indicate in Sura Mariam that He would
die in the distant future but in a near future, after His
birth and lifetime. The Quran testifies that Christ was
born, that He died, and that He rose again in a sequen-
tial chain of events. Christians are certain about the
historicity of the death and resurrection of the Son of
Mary.
33

Christ died voluntarily and in perfect peace. We read
this in the Gospel and in the Quran. Christ knew how
He would die beforehand. He even appointed the day
and the hour of His own death to coincide with the
festivities of the Passover, according to the Law of
Moses. He revealed that He would die as an atone-
ment, saving all who believe in Him from their sins and
the everlasting fire. All people die because they have
sinned, but Christ never sinned. The Quran affirms this
several times. Christ did not die for His own sins but
took our sins upon Himself and died instead of us.
There is a divine peace and a significance that sur-
rounds His death, according to Sura Mariam, for He,
the Lamb of God, carried the sins of the world away in
His great love.

VIII
MUHAMMAD AND CHRIST, AFTER THEIR DEATHS
Muhammad was buried in Medina, and his grave is
still there to this day. Muslims believe that his soul is in
an intermediate place for the dead (Barzakh), awaiting
the Day of Judgement.
We read in the Quran that God raised Christ to
Himself, promising Him:
"O Isa, I will cause you to die, and will raise you
up to Me" (The House of Imran 3:55).
.(oo:r üL^ <-tf)((Ö| ^ljJ Qk'£* Jj
This promise is confirmed in the Quran as a fulfilled
fact:
"Allah raised Him up to Himself" (Women 4:158).
 ill! Ai3j»
 dl ill!
In other words, God called the Son of Mary out of the
grave and raised Him up to Himself. He now lives near
God, being honored highly on earth and in eternity. The
Quran testifies:
35

"O Mariam, God gives you good tidings of a Word
from Him whose name is the Messiah, Isa, the Son
of Mary; highly honored, in this world and the next,
and brought near to Allah" (The House of Imran
3:45).
l	l	L      &   ^Lj 'M & '& Is»
.(So:ruL>-* JO
The grave of Christ is empty, for He indeed has risen,
as He proclaimed beforehand. But the remains of Mu-
hammad are still in his grave. Christ lives. Muhammad
is dead; he has never been resurrected from the grave,
neither has he risen up to heaven. There is an unbrid-
geable difference between life and death. As life is
greater than death, so Jesus is greater than Muham-
mad. Jesus is eternal life in person. The Quran itself
clearly portrays the living Christ for all who search after
eternal life.

36

IX
THE PEACE OF MUHAMMAD AND CHRIST
All Muslims pray every time they mention the name
Muhammad:
"May Allah pray over him and grant him peace."
Their prayer indicates that the peace of Allah has not
yet come to Muhammad, even though his followers
have prayed for him all these centuries! Muhammad is
the prophet who constantly needs the intercession of
his people, instead of the other way around. The Quran
testifies that Allah Himself, all angels and all Muslims,
should pray fervently for Muhammad, in order to save
him on the Day of Judgement:
"Truly Allah and his angels pray for the Prophet.
O you who believe pray for him and greet him with
the greeting of peace" (The Confederates 33:56).
.(oVTT
37

In Sura Mariam, Christ testifies: "Peace be upon me,
the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I am raised
from the dead." The Son of Mary is the Prince of Peace
who lived His earthly life at peace with God from begin-
ning to end. Nothing separated Him from His eternal
blessing.
The birth of Christ from the Virgin Mary happened
according to the will and the power of God. He was born
without sin. The real peace of God rested upon Him
from the beginning of His life. In evidence of this fact,
the heavens opened and the angels sang, "Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on
whom His favor rests" (Luke 2:14).
Christ died a real death. He did not die for His own
sin, but as a substitute for our sins. Even in His death,
Christ experienced peace with God. People die be-
cause of their loathsome sins, "for the wages of sin is
death" (Romans 6:23). But God was highly pleased
when Christ died, because His substitutionary death
has reconciled Him with mankind. Therefore the peace
of God presided over the death of Christ.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the
greatest proof of His holiness. If Christ had committed
only a single sin during His whole lifetime, death would
have found legitimate power over Him and would have
38

kept Him in its grip, as has happened with Muhammad.
But Christ never committed a single sin, big or small!
For this reason, He has overcome death and has arisen
as a victor from the dark power. Christ is alive - Mu-
hammad is dead! All the Muslims confess this reality
when they mention the name of Christ, saying:
"Peace is upon Him."	il
They know well and testify that He lives in full peace
with God.
Muhammad experienced bitter persecution in Mecca,
but when he became politically and socially powerful,
he launched severe attacks and bloody wars against
his enemies. He sometimes became intolerant and
unforgiving. In the Quran, he commands more than
sixteen times that his enemies, all unbelievers, and
those who have slipped away from Islam should be
killed:
"Kill them wherever you come upon them. Expel
them from where they expelled you; sedition is
more grievous than slaying. Fight them not by the
Holy Mosque until they should fight you there;
then, if they fight you, kill them; such is the
recompense of the unbelievers" (The Cow 2:191).

and take no friend nor helper from among them"
(Women 4:89).

"Fight them, till there is no persecution, and the

"When the sacred months are drawn away, slay
the idolators wherever you find them, and take
them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at
every place of ambush" (Repentance 9:5).
.(o:\

Muhammad did not bring peace to the world, but
many wars. He sent his followers into raids and holy
wars more than thirty times. He himself participated in
such attacks and expeditions twenty-nine times. He
commanded his people to shed the blood of his
enemies. He was the example of the believers and the
political leader of the Arabian peninsula.
As for the gentle and humble Christ, the Jews perse-
cuted Him violently, but He did not defend Himself with
the sword. He forbade His followers to shed the blood
of His enemies, commanding Peter: "Put your sword
into its place, for all who take the sword shall perish by
the sword" (Matthew 26:52). Any Christian who fights
for the spread of Christianity with deadly weapons,
shedding the blood of other people, is violating the will
of God; he will be judged as disobedient of the com-
mands of the Prince of Peace. Muslims, however, are
promised that whoever shall die in a holy war will
ascend immediately to paradise. Christ is the only one
who has established real peace without fighting and
killing. Muhammad made it the duty of every Muslim to
fight against his enemies. (See also Sura Women
4:95,96; Salvation 25:52.) Christ preferred to shed His
own precious blood in order to save His enemies, that
they may not perish. He even prayed for them: "Father
forgive them, for they do not know what they do" (Luke
41

23:34). Jesus was the only true Muslim, if we consider
the definition of the word "Muslim" to be a derivation of
the Arabic word Salam, meaning "peace." A true Muslim
is a peace-maker who has surrendered himself to the
God of Love, serving Him alone.

42

X
THE UNIQUE SIGN OF GOD
Islamic inspiration appoints Jesus as a "Sign of Allah"
(Ayatollah). According to Islam, God has made Jesus
and His mother a sign unto men:
"We have appointed Him a sign unto men" (Mary
19:21).
"We breathed into her of Our spirit, and appointed
her and her son to be a sign for all men" (Prophets
21:91).
Christ did not receive this unique title from men, but
from God directly. He did not receive the title, "The Sign
of God," for having succeeded in higher education in a
university, but has carried this distinguished title from
the very day He was born into this earth. In contrast,
the highest ranks of the Shiite Muslims are reserved for
outstanding scholars who have earned the title of
43

Ayatollah, which means "the sign of Allah." Many Mus-
lims overemphasized their honoring of Khomeini, be-
cause they called him not only "Ayatollah" (the Sign of
God) but also Ruhullah ("The Spirit of Allah"). Christians
have had their "Sign of God" for 1990 years, in Jesus
Christ! The Shiites had their famous Ayatollah in recent
years. What is the difference between Khomeini and
Christ? The gap between these two men is unbrid-
geable. Christ healed the sick, purified the lepers,
raised the dead, fed the hungry, comforted the afflicted,
blessed His enemies, established peace between men
and God, and saved millions from doom on the Day of
Judgement. Khomeini, on the other hand, led his
people into two disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanis-
tan, where millions of Muslims were killed, maimed,
bereft, having lost their homes and livelihoods. He
cursed everyone whom he considered to be the enemy
of Islam, especially the United States. What an un-
speakable difference between the Ayatollah of the
Christians and that of the Shiites!
Sunni Muslim scholars felt offended by Ayatollah
Khomeini when he allowed his followers to call him "The
Spirit of Allah" (Ruhu-Allah) or "The Spirit of the Holy"
(Ruhul-Qudsi). Even Muhammad did not accept such
titles for himself. Sunni scholars from different Arab
countries met in Casablanca (Morocco) and agreed to
44

condemn this practice. The King of Morocco, Hassan
II, announced publicly that if Khomeini would not stop
his followers from calling him Ruhullah or Ruhul-Qudsi,
he (Ayatollah Khomeini) should be expelled from Islam
and should no longer be regarded as a Muslim. The
King based his declaration on the Quranic evidence
that there is only one man in world history who has the
right to call himself "The Spirit of the Holy": Isa, the Son
of Mary, because He was born of the Holy Spirit. To
condemn the Shiites, the Sunnites plainly confessed
the truth that Jesus is the only person ever born by the
Spirit of God.
45
Khomeini was appointed by men as a sign of God to
the Shiites who live primarily in Iran. Christ however
was the real "Sign of God" to all men. He was not only
the "Sign of God" to the Christians or the Jews, but also
to Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, Muslims and all others.
Whoever studies the life of Christ in depth will find that
He is the perfect Ayatollah, the true "Sign of God."

XI
THE MERCY OF GOD
We read in the Quran that Allah called Jesus:
"A sign unto men and a Mercy from Us" (Mary
19:21).
Muhammad is also called a "mercy" in the Quran:
"We have not sent you except as a mercy to the
worlds" (Prophets 21:107).
We have recognized that the inspiration of Muham-
mad differs essentially from that of Christ; likewise, the
meaning and content of mercy in those two men differ
fundamentally.
The Angel Gabriel is supposed to have dictated the
Quran to Muhammad. Christ did not need the agency
of an angel, for He Himself was the incarnation of the
eternal Word of God. Just as the difference between
the inspiration of the Gospel and that of the Quran is
vast, so too is the difference between the mercy of
46

Christ and Muhammad unbridgeable. The inspiration to
Muhammad can be found in the verses of the Quran,
in his tens of thousands of declarations in the Hadith
(Islamic Traditions), and in the practical ways of his
daily conduct (al-Sunna). These sources were united
and compiled into Islamic law (Sharia), consisting of
commands and prohibitions. This Law organizes all
facets of the life of a Muslim, including the daily prayer,
with the obligatory washing beforehand, fasting in
Ramadan, religious taxes, pilgrimage and even circum-
cision and burial. The Sharia covers also the family
order, inheritance, contracts, holy war and severe pun-
ishments. The life of a Muslim is governed by Islamic
Law which, according to Islamic theology, is the final
manifestation of the mercy of God to the Muslims.
The Gospel warns us that no man can be justified by
observing the Law, for not a single person can fulfill all
its demands precisely. Even Islamic Law is constantly
violated by the Muslims. Millions have neglected the
command to pray five times each day; other millions did
not consistently practised fasting during Ramadan;
others did not give the total amount of the religious tax
they were obligated to pay; and most do not complete
their pilgrimage without mistakes. Moreover, how many
times does a man sin against his wife and children, and
how many times has a business contract been broken
47

by fraud or coercion; how often have the lips of a person
uttered lies? There has not been one single man that
has not been stained and polluted with pride, grudges,
hatred, and inner filth. The Law of God condemns
everyone in his deeds, words and intentions. The final
aim of the Law is the judgement of every sinful man for
his failures, his guilt and his corruption. Yes, the law of
Muhammad organized the Islamic people, as the Law
of Moses centered the lives of the children of Abraham
on God and His Word. The Law demands full surrender
and complete submission to the Creator. But no law can
justify the sinner, nor can it set the guilty free. The Law
was given to judge the transgressor and destroy him.
Because of the Law, the destination of everyone is hell.
Thje Law is the just judge. No human is able to satisfy
it.
Every religious-minded person hopes and aspires to
receive the forgiveness of God. The Muslim thinks that:
"The good deeds will drive away the evil deeds"
(Hood 11:114; Angels 35:29-30).

 l»
 jl

But according to Islam, no Muslim can be sure of the
forgiveness of his sins until Judgement Day. Their law
does not offer a substitute sacrifice, nor does it present
48

free salvation to them. Every Muslim will receive his
exact wages on Judgement Day, when all his iniquities
and complete failure is then uncovered. The Law shall
finally condemn its followers. Muhammad admitted that
all his followers will definitely enter hell:
"We shall gather them, and the devils, then we
shall bring them around hell (Gehenna) on their
knees...there is not one of you, but he shall come
into it; that was upon your Lord a determined
decree" (Mary 19:68,71).
"To that end He created them. And the word of
your Lord will be executed: 'I shall surely fill
Gehenna with spirits (jinn) and men all together'"
(Hood 11:119, 120).
 Jbj AILS' ci
We admit that all Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, and
Muslims are real sinners by nature. No human is good,
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"
(Romans 3:23).
49

Christ alone lived according to the Law and de-
manded that we should fulfill the commandment of His
love, too. However, His ultimate goal was not to estab-
lish a law that will condemn mankind but to declare the
grace of God to all sinners and to justify them freely.
Christ lived what He taught, and He Himself completed
the Law, proving that He was worthy to be the Lamb of
God, who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29).
Seven hundred years before Christ, Isaiah the
Prophet prophesied that one would come as our sub-
stitute, suffering under the judgement of God in our
place:
"Surely He has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed Him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
the chastisement of our peace
was upon Him,
and by His stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned, every one, to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on Him
the iniquity of us all."
Isaiah 53:4-6
50

Christ saves His followers from the curse of the Law
and frees them from the judgement of the Last Day. He
justifies those who receive Him and believe in Him.
Surely He has reconciled God with men and granted
them eternal peace. The Apostle Paul urged us to
accept this spiritual privilege, writing:
"Be reconciled with God,
for He made Him, who knew no sin,
to be sin for us,
that we might become
the righteousness of God
in Him"
(2 Corinthians 5:20,21).

51

XII
WHO IS THE GREATEST?
This serious question cannot be appropriately di-
rected at Christ and Muhammad. According to a human
scale, both have reached a standard of acceptance that
no other founder of a religion has reached. Islam has
reached 1.2 billion people, 1,370 years after the death
of its founder. Those who claim to follow to Christ have
surpassed the 1.8 billion mark. No political party, no
philosophy, no ideology, ever gathered as many adher-
ents as have Christ and Muhammad in the past cen-
turies.
Muhammad warned his people in Mecca and endured
severe persecution for twelve years. But after he emi-
grated to Medina in AD 622, everything changed. He
turned into a leader experienced in politics, legislation
and war. In the eyes of his followers, he is the head
(Imam) of all believers, and the Ambassador of Allah
for the Muslim nation (al-Ummah).
Christ Himself was not ready to accept the question,
Who is the greatest? He humbled Himself and declared
that He did not come to be served but to serve and to
give up his life as a ransom for many. He said to His
52

followers, "Whoever wants to be first, must ultimately
be last, and whoever intends to be a ruler, should be
the slave of all" (Matthew 10:42). He promised that only
the meek will inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5). Christ did
not only preach but also lived out His teachings. Despite
His tremendous power, He chose to live humbly, to be
rejected by men, and finally to be crushed by evil hands
(Isaiah 53:1-3). When Peter tried to defend Him, He
rebuked him, commanding him to return his sword to
its sheath and not to interfere in the decreed plan of
God that demanded His substitutionary death for the
salvation of mankind (John 18:11).
Christ also proved His authority when He assured
faithful seekers: "Your sins are forgiven." Christ says
even today to every repentant sinner: "God loves you;
I have reconciled you to Him. The door to Him is wide
open for you."
God did not send Christ to declare another unbear-
able law to man. Christ was the incarnate Mercy of God.
In Him, the love of the Holy One was revealed. There-
fore, He loved sinners, blessed His enemies and en-
couraged the despairing. Jesus is the mercy of the
All-Merciful, the Compassionate. He proved Himself to
be of the same essence as God. In Christ the Spirit of
God became flesh (Women 4:171). There is no dif-
ference between His mercy and the mercy of God. His
53

atonement is the free offer of God to every lost sinner.
Whoever receives His grace and accepts His justifica-
tion is forever reconciled to God. Those who believe in
Him will finally recognize and see the real position of
Christ, seated at the right hand of the Almighty. The
mercy of Christ will never stop, condemn, or destroy us,
since He has justified and redeemed us.
The followers of Christ are not obliged to suffer neither
under the Law of Moses nor under the Sharia of Mu-
hammad. They abide in the grace of God as revealed
in the Gospel of Christ. Even the Quran confirms this
unique privilege to the followers of Christ:
"The people of the Gospel must judge according
to what God has sent down to them. Whoever
judges not according to what God has sent down
- these are the ungodly" (Sura The Table 5:47).
The Quran legally frees Christians from the Sharia
and confirms them in the grace of the Gospel. The
mercy of Christ grants them perfect peace in heart and
mind. Their spiritual vigor from the assurance of salva-
tion leads them to services of love, based on an ever-
lasting hope.
54

Christ humbled Himself more and glorified His Father
in heaven, saying: "Truly, truly, I say unto you, the Son
can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father
do; for whatever things He does, these also the Son
does likewise" (John 5:19). "Do you not believe that I
am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that
I speak unto you, I speak not of myself; but the Father
that dwells in Me, He does the works" (John 14:10).
Thus, Christ denied Himself and gave all homage to
God His Father. He even confessed: "The Father is
greater than I. I and the Father are one" (John 14:8,
10:30).
55
Therefore, anyone desiring to understand Christ
should humble himself and ask the question, Who is
the most humble? Christ humbled Himself to the point
that He made Himself a curse for us that we may
become the righteousness of God in Him. He gave
Himself as an atonement for every evil man and woman
- even for murderers - that they shall be set free from
the condemnation of God, being transformed into be-
lievers filled with His eternal love.

CONCLUSION
The prisoners listened silently to the words of the
minister. Some of them became angry and stared at
him with hatred. Others were interested and amazed.
A few of them rejoiced silently as they heard this clear
answer. They found new hope in this message.
The speaker for the prisoners answered the minister:
"We acknowledge that you have spoken clearly with us.
You have boldly told us what you really believe. We will
think about your words and discuss the points you have
raised, comparing them carefully with the Quranic
verses and the Traditions. Some of us do not agree with
you right now, but we have promised to let you go in
peace. We will continue to study this subject diligently.
