Jesus is called the Messiah


Jesus is called the Messiah in Matthew 1:16. In fact, every time someone says, “Jesus Christ,” he is referring to Jesus as the Messiah, since Christ means “Messiah” or “Anointed One.” The Old Testament predicts the Messiah, and the New Testament reveals the Messiah to be Jesus of Nazareth.


John 4:29 "Come see a man who knew all about the things I did, who knows me inside and out. Do you think this could be the Messiah?"

 

 

In Islam the messiah is a chosen one, promised to the children of Israel (Jews) and sent to them, to amend some of the mosaic law and lift some of the burdens placed on them, to call them back to Allah and give them good news of a Kingdom of God (heaven) for those that would answer his call and obey him. This messiah was Jesus, but the Jews wanted a political leader who would revolt against the Romans, not a spiritual leader who would remind them of the afterlife.

Thus, they attempted to have him killed when he claimed to be the messiah, but Allah (God) saved him and raised him up to the heavens before they could harm him. He will return in the end of times and affirm the message of Islam (submission to the one God) break the cross (make clear that he never claimed to be God, nor was he killed) kill the antichrist (the false messiah, a man who will come at the end of time who will actually claim to be God, but will then be killed by Jesus, the antichrist will then burn in hell in the afterlife) complete his mission, and then Jesus will die a natural death.

He will then be raised on the day of judgement, disavow all the worship of him that humanity did instead of worshipping God alone, and be amongst the most honored human beings in the afterlife. In Islam,

True Islam has nothing to do with people's bad actions. Much of the information circulating about Muslims is incorrect—intended solely to tarnish Islam's image—and is believed only by the brainwashed and those harboring Islamophobia.

 

 

At its essence, Sharia calls for benefit, balance, and beauty in human conduct - values every society can recognize.

 

The fear of Sharia in the West isn't really about religion - it's about perception.When political rhetoric and media distortion overshadow understanding, a moral framework rooted in mercy and justice is reduced to a caricature.

 

 

If there's one takeaway, it's this: Sharia is not a threat to modernity. It is a call - to conscience, compassion, and community.

 

 

Perhaps it's time to stop fearing the word, and start understanding the wisdom behind it.

 

Many people, especially many Islamophobes, think that Sharia means that a woman must sit at home, be covered from head to toe in black, . Whatever is done by ISIS and such is not Sharia.

 

As a Muslim, yes, I would prefer that Islam would spread to every part in my country. And as a consequence, also Sharia. The correct Sharia not the "Sharia" that is presented in media.

 

 

Muslims in western countries still follow sharia. People often think of sharia as Islamic criminal law, but that's probably less that 5% of the body of sharia. Most of what Muslims call sharia describes codified beliefs, personal and business ethics, how to pray, how much tax to pay on agricultural machinery, how to divide inheritance, yada, yada, yada.

 

 

 

And you know what? Muslims are probably more pious and diligent in their religious observances in the absence of legally mandated sharia. Take the issue of hijab as an example. When women choose to wear it of their own volition, that's an act of ibadah (i.e., religious piety).

 

Sharia law equally applies to those who choose to follow it or just because someone happens to follow it. Sharia law can define foods as forbidden or allowed. Sharia law can define times to fast or abstain from meat. Sharia law can define when someone may get marrried or when their marriage is forbidden. The "laws" of Sharia law are not civil laws which apply to everyone. Sharia laws and civil laws can coexist.

 

 

Rather than trying to overtake Western legal systems, Sharia law in the West operates as a voluntary, faith-based guide for Muslims. Claims of Islamic legal dominance are rooted more in fear than fact. Islamic legal system has coexisted peacefully with other traditions for centuries.

 

In truth, the Qur’anic legal system and Western codes can complement each other in pluralistic societies when framed around shared values like justice, fairness, and human dignity.

 

 

There are many religious duties for a Muslim who lives in the West. Being a minority, Muslims living in the West cannot demand for the application of Shari`ah. It is, however, their duty to call the Westerners to Islam. Also, Muslims living in the West can demand that in family affairs like marriage, divorce and estate division, they want Shari`ah to be applied. Furthermore, they can call for anything that benefits the whole society such as banning abortion, homosexuality and lesbianism or the like.

Polygamy is a topic that sparks intense debate among Christians and Muslims worldwide. But what does the Bible and the Quran truly say about it? In this eye-opening video, we explore polygamy’s place in Islam and Christianity, referencing key scriptures from the Quran (Surah An-Nisa 4:3) and the Bible (Isaiah 4:1, Deuteronomy 21:15-17). Is monogamy a Western construct? Did prophets like Solomon and David practice polygamy? And why is celibacy not part of God's command?
