This is gonna be a pretty long one but you got conspiracy going on in this stuff. Like it's pretty bad. The quran has the Jesus dude in it but when he was going to get crucified, Yahweh switches him out with Judas, that ratted on him and he's the one who gets hanged. They say there was no resurrection.
This is a bit like a channeled book like the 80's Ra material. You get odd stuff though like what's going on in the bible with the rapture at the end. The Allah dude is like Yahweh and I know all about that, eh. So it seems like similar stuff. Let's get into it and continued in lots of comment parts.
Hold on here.. though.. see I originally thought this Mohammed guy was like an Arab Jesus.. lol. No. He's just some dude that tripped out. lol. But what's going on here.. is similar to the Bible.. you get yahweh that wants us to know this stuff, eh. That's back in the good old days when he used to step in with his operation. Now he doesn't give a flying fuck at all. lol.
But yeah.. so this Allah dude is actually Yahweh.. but it's the arab way of talking about it. Same dude. I've been analysing yahweh over the years and he's got issues. lol. Let's get into this stuff here.
==============================
the quran.. what's the story in there. Like the Arab Jesus but he didn't get crucified? What happend to this mohammed guy.
The Quran, which Muslims believe is the final revelation from God, contains its own narrative on these key figures of Islam. The stories of both Jesus and Muhammad are central to the faith, but they differ significantly from what is found in Christian traditions.
Jesus in the Quran In the Quran, Jesus is known as Isa (or Isa ibn Maryam, "Jesus, son of Mary"). He is revered as one of the most important prophets and is considered the Messiah (Al-Masih).
A Miraculous Birth: The Quran affirms that Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary through a miraculous act of God. It describes the angel Gabriel announcing to Mary that she would give birth to a son, even though she was a virgin.
A Prophet and Messenger: Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet sent by God to the Children of Israel to confirm the teachings of the Torah and bring the Gospel (Injil). He is said to have performed many miracles, such as healing the sick and raising the dead, all "by God's permission."
The Rejection of Crucifixion: This is the most significant difference from the Christian narrative. The Quran explicitly states that Jesus was not killed or crucified. Instead, it says, "it was made to appear so to them." The belief is that God raised Jesus directly to himself, and he did not die on the cross. Muslims believe that Jesus will return to Earth before the Day of Judgment to establish justice.
The Prophet Muhammad Muhammad is considered the final prophet in Islam, a messenger who received the Quran from God.
Life and Mission: Muhammad was born in Mecca around 570 CE. He was a merchant who, at the age of 40, began receiving divine revelations through the angel Gabriel. These revelations, which continued throughout his life, form the text of the Quran.
Spread of Islam: After facing persecution in Mecca, Muhammad and his followers migrated to the city of Medina in 622 CE. This event, known as the Hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. In Medina, Muhammad established the first Muslim community and grew in influence, eventually returning to Mecca as a conqueror in 630 CE.
His Death: The Prophet Muhammad died in 632 CE in Medina after a brief illness. He is buried there in what is now a part of the Prophet's Mosque, a major pilgrimage site for Muslims. Unlike Jesus in the Quranic narrative, there is no ambiguity about his death. He lived a full life and died a natural death.
so what exactly did this guy do.. doesn't sound like miracles.. but yeah.. jesus is in the quaran?
Your question gets to a key difference between Islam and other monotheistic religions. While Jesus is a central figure in both Christianity and Islam, his role and nature are viewed very differently.
Jesus in the Quran You are correct that Jesus is in the Quran. He is mentioned by name over 25 times and is a highly revered prophet. In Islam, he is known as Isa (or Isa ibn Maryam, "Jesus, son of Mary") and is considered the Messiah. Muslims believe he was born to the Virgin Mary through a miracle of God and was sent to the Children of Israel to bring the Gospel (Injil) and confirm the Torah. The Quran describes him as having performed many miracles, such as healing the sick and raising the dead, but always with the permission of God.
However, the Quran rejects the Christian belief that Jesus is the son of God or part of a Trinity. He is seen as a great prophet, but still a human being and a servant of God.
Muhammad's Role You noted that Muhammad's actions don't sound like "miracles" in the traditional sense, and that's an important distinction. The primary "miracle" of Muhammad in Islam is the Quran itself. Muslims believe that the Quran is the verbatim word of God, revealed to Muhammad, an unlettered man, over a period of 23 years. The text is considered inimitable and a direct sign from God.
Beyond receiving the Quran, Muhammad's role was to establish the religion and the community of Islam. He:
Preached Monotheism: He called for a return to the worship of one God (Allah) and rejected the polytheistic practices common in pre-Islamic Arabia.
Established a Community: After facing persecution in Mecca, he and his followers migrated to Medina, where he became a political and spiritual leader, uniting different tribes and establishing the first Muslim state.
Provided a Moral Example: His life, actions, and sayings (known as the Sunnah and Hadith) are considered a perfect example for Muslims to follow in all aspects of their lives—from prayer and family relations to business and justice.
ok so he was just a dude that got like this download of information and he transcribed it to the quaran
That's a good way to put it, as long as you understand the nuance. From an Islamic perspective, it wasn't just a "download" in a passive sense. It was a profound, and often physically intense, process of divine revelation.
Here's how Muslims understand the process:
The Medium of Revelation: The revelations were not directly from God to Muhammad in a conversational way. They came through the Angel Gabriel (Jibreel in Arabic). Gabriel would bring the exact words of God to Muhammad.
The Experience: The experience of receiving a revelation was described by Muhammad himself as being very difficult. His companions noted that he would sometimes sweat profusely, even on a cold day, and a heavy feeling would come over him. It was a state of intense spiritual concentration and transformation.
Dictation, not Transcription: Since Muhammad, according to Islamic belief, was unlettered and could neither read nor write, he couldn't have just "transcribed" the information. Instead, he would immediately recite the verses to his companions, who would then memorize them and write them down on whatever materials were available at the time, such as leather, stones, or palm leaves.
Gradual Process: The revelations did not come all at once. They were revealed in stages over a period of 23 years, from the time he first began receiving them until his death. The verses often came in response to specific events, questions, or needs of the early Muslim community. This gradual process allowed the teachings to be absorbed and implemented over time.
So, while the end result was a book—the Quran—it's viewed as the direct, verbatim word of God, not something Muhammad composed or merely "transcribed." His role was to receive the message, convey it accurately, and embody its teachings as a living example for humanity.
ok.. damn.. he wasn't even able to read or write but he'd have this Angel Gabriel tell him stuff.. then he'd say what he was experiencing and his buddies were the ones who wrote it down
That's exactly the core of the Islamic belief regarding the revelation of the Quran.
You've captured the key components:
The Messenger: Muhammad, who was unlettered (unable to read or write), and therefore, from a religious perspective, an unlikely candidate to author a book of such literary complexity and scope.
The Medium: The Angel Gabriel acting as the intermediary, delivering the divine message.
The Process: Muhammad would receive the revelation and immediately recite it.
The Scribes: His companions, who were literate, would listen, memorize, and write down the verses, creating the first written copies of the Quran.
This account of the revelation is central to Islamic theology and serves as a powerful argument for the divine origin of the Quran. The fact that the prophet was unlettered is seen as proof that the text could not have been his own work, but must have come from a higher source.
This is kind of interesting though how the Jesus dude was in their book.. but they're saying he was just a prophet and not this son of god or something, eh?
Yes, that is a very astute observation and it gets to the heart of the theological differences between Islam and Christianity.
The way Jesus is portrayed in the Quran is one of the most interesting and significant aspects of Islamic belief. He is not a minor figure; he is central to the line of prophets. Muslims hold him in great reverence, but their understanding of him is fundamentally different from that of Christians.
Prophet, not Deity: In the Quran, Jesus is consistently referred to as a messenger and prophet of God, in the same line as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Muhammad. He is given special titles like "the Messiah" and "a word from God," and his miraculous birth is affirmed. However, these titles are interpreted in a way that does not elevate him to a divine status or make him the literal son of God.
The Concept of "Shirk": The Islamic belief system is built on the absolute oneness of God (known as Tawhid). The idea of God having a son or being part of a trinity is seen as a form of shirk, which means "associating partners with God." In Islam, this is considered the most serious and unforgivable sin. The Quran explicitly states that Jesus was a servant of God and that he himself never claimed to be divine.
The Role of Other Prophets: For Muslims, all the major prophets, including Jesus, brought the same core message: to worship the one true God alone. The Quran argues that over time, the messages of earlier prophets were distorted or corrupted by people. Thus, Muhammad was sent as the final prophet to restore and perfect the original, pure message of Islam.
So, while Christians see the crucifixion and resurrection as the central events of Jesus's mission—the means by which humanity's sins are forgiven—Muslims see his life as a powerful example of a prophet, and the Quranic denial of his crucifixion serves to preserve the principle of God's absolute power and Jesus's status as a human prophet. It's a fascinating example of how two major world religions share a key historical figure but interpret his life and purpose in profoundly different ways.
I don't think most people who are christian even know the jesus dude is in this arab bible..
You've touched upon a really important point. It's true that for many Christians, especially those who aren't deeply involved in interfaith studies or dialogue, the idea of Jesus being a significant figure in the Quran comes as a surprise. The religious narratives are so different that there's a general lack of awareness about this shared figure.
Here's why that might be the case and how the two perspectives can be seen in light of one another:
-
The Centrality of the Narratives: For Christians, the core of the faith revolves around the divinity of Jesus, his crucifixion, and his resurrection. These events are seen as the means of salvation. Since the Quran denies the crucifixion and resurrection, it fundamentally changes the narrative in a way that is difficult for many Christians to reconcile with their own beliefs. This denial of a central tenet can lead to a sense that the Quranic account is "wrong" or irrelevant, without necessarily knowing the details of what it actually says.
-
Focus on Divergence, Not Convergence: In much of the public conversation about Christianity and Islam, the focus is on their differences—the nature of God (Trinity vs. absolute oneness), the role of Jesus (divine Son vs. Prophet), and the final authority (Bible vs. Quran). The points of convergence, like the virgin birth and Jesus's role as a miracle-working messiah, are often overlooked in favor of the more contentious theological divides.
-
Historical and Cultural Distance: For centuries, Christianity and Islam have developed in different cultural and theological contexts, often with limited exposure to each other's sacred texts. The popular understanding of each religion is often shaped more by media, politics, and historical conflicts than by an accurate knowledge of their foundational texts.
Despite these differences, there is a growing field of interfaith dialogue where scholars, theologians, and regular people from both faiths are exploring these shared stories. They find that the Quran's portrayal of Jesus can serve as a bridge, a point of common ground that allows for mutual understanding and respect, even if the core beliefs about his ultimate nature remain distinct.

[part 3]
ok so what's going on here in the quaran.. what's the story.. Also.. in the christian bible at the end part there's the revelations where all hell breaks loose.. what goes on in the quaran
The Quran's narrative is a comprehensive story about God's relationship with humanity, focusing on guidance, warnings, and the ultimate accountability of all people. It's not a single, linear story but a series of revelations that build upon one another.
The Quran's Story The overall story of the Quran can be broken down into a few key themes:
The Oneness of God: The story starts and ends with the core message that there is only one God, Allah. The book is a direct communication from this God to humanity, correcting the mistakes and distortions that have occurred over time in previous revelations.
The Chain of Prophets: The Quran presents a continuous line of prophets sent by God to various nations throughout history. It revisits the stories of figures like Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (as we've discussed) to demonstrate that the message of monotheism has always been the same.
The Life of Muhammad: While the Quran is not a biography, its chapters and verses were revealed throughout the life of the Prophet Muhammad, often in response to specific events, questions, and challenges he and the early Muslim community faced. These revelations provide guidance for their daily lives and for future generations.
The Day of Judgment: A significant portion of the Quran's story is dedicated to the Day of Judgment (Yawm al-Qiyamah). It provides detailed descriptions of the end of the world, the resurrection of all people, and their final reckoning before God. The purpose of this is to remind people that their actions in this life have eternal consequences.
Revelations in the Quran The Christian concept of "Revelations" as the final book of the New Testament with its specific apocalyptic narrative is not found in the same way in the Quran. The entire Quran is considered a "revelation," but it doesn't have a single final book dedicated to a chronological account of the End Times.
Instead, the Quran's account of the End Times is scattered throughout its chapters and verses, and it focuses on different, key events. There's less emphasis on a detailed, sequential prophecy of events like you find in the Book of Revelation, and more on a clear, powerful warning.
Here's what the Quran says will happen:
The Signs of the Hour: The Quran and Islamic tradition mention several signs that will precede the Day of Judgment. These include the return of Jesus, the appearance of the Antichrist (Al-Masih ad-Dajjal), and a great conflict.
The End of the World: The Quran provides vivid descriptions of the world's end, where the mountains are turned into dust, the seas boil over, the sun and moon are brought together, and the heavens are rolled up.
The Resurrection and Gathering: After the world is destroyed, all people, from the beginning of time, will be resurrected and gathered for judgment. The Quran describes this as a day where every person will stand alone before God.
The Final Reckoning: On this day, God will judge every person's deeds. Every action, good or bad, will be weighed. The purpose of this judgment is to establish absolute justice.
Heaven and Hell: Based on the judgment, people will be assigned to either Heaven (Jannah) or Hell (Jahannam). The Quran provides detailed and metaphorical descriptions of both, emphasizing that Heaven is a place of eternal bliss and Hell is a place of suffering.
The key purpose of this narrative in the Quran is to instill a sense of accountability and to motivate believers to lead a righteous life in preparation for that day. It's a foundational belief that ties all other teachings together.
hold on.. so noah went on too in the quaran
Yes, that's correct. Noah, known as Nuh (نوح) in Arabic, is a significant prophet in the Quran. The story is quite similar in many ways to the biblical account, but with some distinct differences in emphasis.
The Quranic Story of Noah The Quran presents Noah as a major prophet sent by God to his people to warn them about their idol worship and their wickedness.
The Warning: He preached for a very long time—according to the Quran, 950 years—calling his people to abandon their polytheism and worship the one true God.
The Rejection: His people, however, rejected his message, mocked him, and called him a liar. They refused to listen and demanded that God's punishment be brought upon them.
The Ark and the Flood: God then commanded Noah to build an ark. He was instructed to take a pair of every animal and his own family aboard, with the exception of one of his sons and his wife, who refused to believe in him.
The Outcome: The flood then came and destroyed all the unbelievers, including Noah's disbelieving son. Noah and those who believed with him were saved on the ark.
The Quran's account, while affirming the flood story, emphasizes the moral lesson: God sends messengers to guide humanity, and those who reject the message face divine judgment. The story of Noah is often used as a reminder of God's justice and mercy.
that's kind of interesting how you've got some similar things, eh in both
You've put your finger on a crucial point that's often overlooked. The similarities are not just coincidental; they are foundational to the identity of both religions.
The reason for the shared stories and figures is that both Christianity and Islam, along with Judaism, are part of the Abrahamic tradition. They all trace their spiritual lineage back to the prophet Abraham, who is revered as a patriarch in all three faiths.
This shared heritage means that many of the same characters and events are a part of their religious history. The Quran acknowledges and builds upon the stories of the prophets who came before Muhammad, including many figures from the Bible.
Here are some of the key similarities and the underlying reasons:
The Chain of Prophets: Islam teaches that God sent a long line of prophets to guide humanity. These prophets, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus, all delivered the same core message: the worship of one God. The Quran retells their stories to show the continuity of this divine message throughout history.
Correction, Not Plagiarism: From an Islamic perspective, the Quran is not "copying" the Bible. It is seen as a final, perfect revelation that corrects and clarifies the messages that were given to previous prophets, which Muslims believe were altered or corrupted over time. For instance, the Quran's version of the story of Jesus is seen as a correction to the Christian view of his divinity.
Moral and Ethical Teachings: Both the Bible and the Quran emphasize a moral code based on principles of justice, compassion, charity, and honoring parents. These core ethical values are universal and are a shared part of the Abrahamic tradition.
So, while the details of the stories might differ and the theological interpretations are often in direct conflict, the presence of these shared narratives highlights their common origin. They are branches of the same family tree, which is why you see so many echoes and parallels.
let's go back to the end part.. what do they say is gonna go on in the quaran.. is it like revelations in the christian bible?
That's an excellent question that gets to the core of apocalyptic beliefs in both faiths. While both the Quran and the Christian Bible contain prophecies about the End of Days, they describe them in very different ways.
As we touched on, the Quran does not have a single, long book dedicated to the End Times like the Christian Bible's Book of Revelation. Instead, the details are spread across many different chapters, and the focus is on a powerful warning rather than a chronological narrative.
Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:
The Quran (Islam): The Quran's End Times passages are more direct and descriptive. They focus on the imminent reality of the Hour of Judgment and its physical and cosmic events. The purpose is to instill a sense of accountability and motivate believers to lead a righteous life in preparation for this inevitable day. There is less emphasis on a symbolic narrative and more on clear, direct warnings.
Export to Sheets 3. The Judgment Christianity: The judgment in Christian eschatology often involves a "Last Judgment" where all people are judged according to their works, often with a focus on their faith in Jesus.
Islam: The Quranic judgment is described in great detail. All people are resurrected and given a "book of deeds" which contains a full record of their life. Every thought, word, and action, no matter how small, is weighed on a balance. The judgment is based on God's absolute justice and mercy.
In summary, while both traditions share the idea of a returned Jesus, an evil antichrist figure, and a final judgment, the specific narratives and the overall tone are quite different. The Christian Book of Revelation is a symbolic drama of divine victory, while the Quran's End Times passages are a direct, unadorned warning of a coming and inevitable day of accountability.
oh so the quaran talks about an anti christ too
Yes, that is a key part of Islamic eschatology (the study of the End Times). The Quran and Islamic tradition do speak about an "Antichrist" figure.
However, he is not referred to as "the Antichrist" in the same way as in Christianity. His name in Arabic is Al-Masih ad-Dajjal (المسيح الدجال), which translates to "the Deceiving Messiah" or "the false Messiah."
Here's what the belief is about the Dajjal:
He is a Human Figure: Like the Christian Antichrist, the Dajjal is not a mythical beast. He is believed to be a human being, but one who will be given immense power to deceive people.
The Ultimate Deception: The Dajjal is considered the greatest trial humanity will ever face. He will appear during a time of great hardship and will perform what seem to be miracles to deceive people. He will claim to be the Messiah and even claim to be God. He will be able to control the weather, cause the earth to yield its treasures, and bring people back to life (with the help of demons).
His Appearance: He is often described in Hadith (the sayings and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad) as being blind in one eye, with the Arabic word for "disbeliever" (kafir) written on his forehead, which only true believers will be able to see.
His Defeat: Just as in the Christian narrative, the Dajjal is defeated by Jesus. Muslims believe that when Jesus returns to Earth, he will confront and kill the Dajjal, bringing an end to his deception and tyranny.
It's important to note that while the concept of the Dajjal is central to Islamic End Times beliefs, his name is not explicitly mentioned in the Quran itself. Instead, the information about him comes from the Hadith, which are the collections of sayings, actions, and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad. These are considered a secondary but essential source of Islamic law and belief. The Hadith provides the detailed description of the Dajjal and his role in the End Times, complementing the more general descriptions found in the Quran.
