Beliefs and loving ministry to Muslims.

Islam basic apologetics

1. What do Muslims believe about Jesus?

These are basic things most all Muslims from all sects will agree upon.

       

        a) Jesus was a great prophet

        b) Jesus was the Christ.

        c)  Jesus was born of the virgin Mary.

        d) The Quran speaks about Jesus more then any other prophet.

        e) Jesus prophesied the coming of Muhammad.

In contrast to what they do not affirm

      

        a) Jesus is not the Son of God, God has no Son.

        b) Jesus was not crucified.

        c)  Jesus did not resurrect.

        d) Jesus is not God.

2. What do Muslims believe about the Bible?

       a)  The Torah, The prophets, Psalms and the Gospel, The Bible was revealed by God.

       b) The book we have "the Bible" is corrupted.

      

Basic arguments you will encounter.

1. How can Jesus be God when He ate food?
2. How can God become a man?
3. The Bible can not be the Word of God there's so many of them.
4. If Jesus was God how could He die on the cross, how does God die?

One Apologetic would go>>

Problem: You ask, how can we defend all these when they don't believe the Bible? You can show them in the Bible but they write it off right?

Solution: You have to show them with their Quran how the Bible is the Word of God that can not be altered. Then based upon the Quran affirming the Bible proceed showing them the Biblical data.

The Quran affirming the Bible

Quran 3:84 "

"We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him.From <https://quran.com/3/84>

Also see Quran 7:157, Quran 2:89

The Word of God can not be corrupted

Quran 6:115

And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can alter His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.From <https://quran.com/6/115>

Then proceed to show to show them the Quran tells us "people of the book/or Gospel" (meanings Jews and Christians) are told by the Quran to judge the Quran by our book.

Quran 5:47

And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.From <https://quran.com/5/47>

These will at-least bring up doubts that Islam and the Quran are the one true religion. If you are serious about Muslims specifically, memorize these verses, have them on hand in your mind, formulate a method where you are leading the conversation and you know what they are going to say or object to next.
