Islam teaches that Jesus is important
but not essential to knowing God!
Islam says He was just a prophet, Jesus says I am the Son of God
“Jesus Christ was one of the Prophets. We believe that he was a human being, not God nor the son of God…he was just a human being and a Messenger of God.” – Questions About Islam
John 17:1-5 NLT
After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you. For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him. And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.
Islam Says He is not co-equal with God, Jesus says We are one
“He (Jesus) will say: ‘Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right to say. Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it.” – Qur’an Al-Maidah 116-117
John 5:18 NLT
So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill him. For he not only broke the Sabbath, he called God his Father, thereby making himself equal with God.

The Father and I are one.” Once again the people picked up stones to kill him. Jesus said, “At my Father’s direction I have done many good works. For which one are you going to stone me?” They replied, “We’re stoning you not for any good work, but for blasphemy! You, a mere man, claim to be God.”
Islam says He didn’t die on the cross, Jesus says I died for all mankind
“…but they killed him not (Jesus), nor crucified him, but it appeared as that to them…” Qur’an Al-Nisa 157
Luke 9:22-24 NLT
“The Son of Man must suffer many terrible things,” he said. “He will be rejected by the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He will be killed, but on the third day he will be raised from the dead.”
