If Islam prohibits depicting prophets, and consider Jesus a prophet (although not the biggest one), are all these images of Jesus in Christian hands some kind of sacrilege?

Isa(Jesus) is called the Messiah in the Quran in Surah Ali 'Imran 45 (3:45) , which directly translates to savior. However, if Islam rejects the idea that he saved the world from Sin as Christians believe, what is the purpose of this title at all? Some say that he was given this title because he came to show the jews the right path or because he was from God; however, if this is the case, then wouldn't that give every prophet the title of messiah? So why was Jesus the only one given that title? and what did he come to save us from if not sin? Also, if I may add, was he just a messiah to the Jews, or was it to the whole world?

I was listing to something and they said Christ in the song and I was listening to the lyrics so I said it too but my intention wasn’t to call for help I was just singing the lyrics is it haram

Christian Science is a sect encouraging medical neglect, and lobbying for laws making faith-healing exceptions to laws against medical neglect. I am interested, is there something similar in Islam?

I know someone who was raised Christian and continues to believe in God, but questions the modern day bible and believes it to have been altered, he also questions the notion of the Trinity, and whether Jesus was simply a human and not is not to be considered the son of God. My understand is that what defines "Ahlul Kitab" are that they believe in God and believe and follow the guidance of the bible/torah based on them being Christian or Jewish, but in situations where someone questions the modern day version of the bible and believes it to have been altered, is he still considered "Ahlul Kitab"? Thank you

According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charismatic_movement) : > The **charismatic movement** is the international trend of historically mainstream Christian congregations adopting beliefs and practices similar to Pentecostalism. Fundamental to the movement is the use of spiritual gifts (charismata). > > Among Anglicans, the charismatic movement emerged in 1958; it reached Lutherans and Presbyterians in 1962. Among Roman Catholics, it spread around 1967. Methodists became involved in the charismatic movement in the 1970s. In my own words, the charismatic movement emphasizes "spiritual gifts" (such as healing, prophecy, speaking in tongues, etc. -- see [1 Corinthians 12](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2012&version=NIV) for a more exhaustive list) and "ecstatic/mystical experiences" (such as the [baptism with the Holy Spirit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptism_with_the_Holy_Spirit)) . In more extreme congregations, people may even display very extreme and odd behaviors, such as [shaking or trembling violently](https://psychology.stackexchange.com/questions/25631/is-there-a-scientific-explanation-for-dramatic-body-shaking-and-trembling-in-rel) , [behaving like animals](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/79576/are-there-any-records-of-animal-like-behaviors-outside-the-toronto-blessing) , etc. Is there anything like this in Islam?

Okay so me and this woman met in college and she’s 3 years older than me. She’s Christian and tho not as practicing, she does believe in one god. She has a daughter from a premarital relationship at a young age and the biological father is out of picture. Is it Halal for me to marry someone like that? I really like her too and I’m planning to marry her in the future if it all works out well but I wanted to know from a religious perspective, the daughter is 5 years old. And if it’s halal, can I get the source and the teachings for this please? I have seen answers saying that her not committing Zina and repenting would be enough but what about the child, she does regret getting physical but she had a daughter from that relationship, would that still be okay? Jazakallah

We know from ahadith that shayateen can take on the form of humans including living persons e.g. Surayba ibn Malik.

I am coming from a Christian environment but I always followed it blindly without doing research on my own about different religions. Now I have grown up and I am doing research on these topics on my own. I tried comparing different religions and I find Judaism and Islam very similar, both have a prophet who communicated with God and wrote down holy texts (Judaism the Old Testament and Islam the Quran). I was wondering about the essential differences between the two, that makes Muslim prefer Islam over Judaism?

In Islam, are Christians considered to be idolaters? If it isn't considered idolatry, my question is why? Christians believe a person (Jesus) is God.

Christians believe that Jesus did this to Lazarus after 3 days in his tomb, when did prophet Esa do this according to the Quran? If he did so? Could you please answer with references to Quranic verses.

Some Christians argue that, "the Quran 5:116 wrongly defines the Trinity. Trinity is not Allah, Jesus and Mary. Further Catholics do not worship Mary but pray via her to God." How do we respond to this? > And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say > unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" > He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to > say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou > knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For > Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. > > -- Quran 5:116

First of all: what I mean here by “Jew” is nationality/race and not religion. The question of whether Jesus was a Jew therefore means whether Jesus was an Israeli, i.e. a descendant of Jacob/Israel. The focus here is not on whether Jesus was a Jew from a religious point of view, i.e. whether he was a follower of Judaism. Was Jesus a Jew at all? He had no Jewish father, he is not from Jewish sperm. According to the Bible, a child inherits the nationality from the father. Two examples: 1. The wife of Joseph was a Gentile (Egyptian), and with her he made two children, Ephraim and Manasseh. Although their mother was a Gentile, they are still called Israelis because their father was an Israeli. They inherited their father's nationality. 2. Moses allowed the men of Israel to take Gentile women, but he didn't allow them to take Gentile men for Israeli women. Since Jesus did not come out of Jewish sperm, he can't be a Jew by nationality. It's wrong to say that Jesus was a "half-Jew" because his mother was a Jew. In the Bible, there is no such thing like "half". You are what your father is. If your father is Italian and your mother is Spanish, then you are Italian. You are not half-italian and half-spanish. You are what your father is because out of his sperm you came. However, if someone wants to claim that the nationality goes from mother to child, then he must agree that Ephraim and Manasseh were not Israelis but Egyptians since their mother was Egyptian. He must also agree that Obed was not an Israeli but a Moabite since his mother Ruth was a Moabite. If he does not agree, then his position is hypocritical. I have opened this topic in other communities but they have all been closed. I am opening this topic here now because Jesus also plays a major role in Islam and the question of his nationality is certainly not an unimportant issue for Muslims. Since Jesus has no human father, he cannot biologically belong to any nationality. What does this mean now?

I was raised a Christian. But I have read the Koran and believe in Allah and His Messenger. Since I also follow the teachings of Jesus, am I still considered a non-believer?

A long ago I read that according to Islam it's possible for Christian to be Christian and eat pig and drink wine while being in a status of d'ima (or something like that). Is that true, or it's forbidden also for non-Muslims according to Islam? N.b. This question may be practical in some Muslim countries. According to Islam, do they need to let Christians drink wine and eat pig or it's forbidden also for them if we are talking about sharia?

In Christianity it's taught that Jesus was resurrected after 3 days in his tomb, which is why his body is no longer there. Although muslims believe that Prophet Esa ascended to heaven and wasn't crucified, what is their view on "Jesus'" body dissaprearing after 3 days in the tomb?

I've heard that some Christian churches were converted into mosques after Islam spread to those areas and took hold as the dominant religion of the area. For example, the Hagia Sophia was the main Cathedral of the Greek Orthodox Church for 1000 years before the Ottomans conquered Constantinople and converted it into a Mosque. I'm wondering if it's possible for any old building to be converted into a mosque? Could my garage or bedroom or a school hall be converted into a mosque?

Did Christians and Jews use the word "Allah" to refer to god before Islam. Can this be proved as the oldest arabic Bible only appears after Islam. Thank you

Some Christians claim that muslim worship when azan is called is similar to those people who were ordered to worship the golden nebuchadnezzar statue in Daniel 3:8,when any music was heard. Similar as they both involve bowing and some call towards prayer . Can anybody give me reasons why this is incorrect and clear up any misconceptions Thank you

This has been on my mind for quite a while now I’ve seen some people claim that the Quran says that Christians believe that Jesus is the literal son of god, those people then claim that they don’t believe that he’s the literal son of god, rather that that’s a title and not to be taken literally. This, in their head, means that the Quran is wrong about this I’ve tried researching this but i don’t fully understand: Does the Quran say that Christians believe that Jesus is the offspring of god?
