Question Title

Is Jesus (PBUH) the Word of Allah?

According to Islam, Jesus (may the peace of Allah be upon him) is an honorable Prophet and Messenger of Allah (Exalted be He). He is also described as the Word of Allah, or Kalimatullah, because he was born through the miraculous power of Allah’s spoken Word [Allah’s Command “Be” and he was created]. The Quran affirms that Jesus brought divine guidance to humanity, preaching love and compassion towards all people. However, Islamic beliefs about Jesus differ from those of Christianity since Muslims do not view him as the son of Allah, nor do they believe in his crucifixion and resurrection. Rather, they believe that he was miraculously raised into the heavens before the disbelievers could harm him.

Moreover, Muslims hold that the revelation made to Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) completes and supersedes earlier revelations. They accept Jesus' teachings within a larger framework of Islamic monotheism. Therefore, when Muslims refer to Jesus as the Word of Allah, they acknowledge his prophetic status in Islam while underscoring his miraculous birth by the direct divine command “Be”.

In the Quran, the holy book of Islam, Jesus is frequently referred to as the “word” or “kalimah” of Allah. At the core of the Islamic understanding of Jesus as the word of Allah is the belief that Jesus was a prophet who was chosen by Allah to convey His Message to the Children of Israel. According to the Quran, Jesus was sent to teach his people about Allah’s Message and to guide them to a life of obedience to Allah’s Will. In this sense, Jesus was seen as a man with a mission from Allah and a word bestowed on Mary, for he was created by Allah’s Word "Be.”

The Quranic description of Jesus as the word of Allah also highlights the importance of the message he brought to his people. According to Islamic belief, Jesus’ teachings were a continuation of the teachings that had been preached by earlier prophets. His message was about the importance of living a life of obedience to Allah’s Will, and it emphasized the importance of compassion and social justice.

  In conclusion, Jesus was a word bestowed on Mary, for he was created by Allah’s Word "Be.” The Quranic description of Jesus as the word of Allah serves as a sign of Allah’s Power of creation so that his people might believe. It also refers to Jesus’ unique role as a Messenger of Allah who preached the importance of living a life of faith and submission to Allah’s Will.
