Jesus is God in the Quran

‘Jesus is God in the Quran’ by Dr. Maxwell Shimba

Introduction to the Divinity of Jesus

Dr. Maxwell Shimba’s book Jesus is God in the Quran explores the profound theological connections between the identity of Jesus in the Bible and His representation in the Quran. It highlights Surah 4:171, which describes Jesus as Allah’s ‘Word cast into Mary’ and ‘a Spirit from Him.’ Dr. Shimba examines whether the Word of Allah is eternal or created and uses biblical references, such as John 1:1-3, to affirm Jesus as the eternal Word who became flesh. This theological comparison forms the cornerstone of the argument that Jesus’ divine nature is subtly acknowledged even within Islamic scripture.

Jesus as the Word of God

The Quran uniquely refers to Jesus as ‘Kalimatullah’ (the Word of God) in Surah 3:45 and Surah 4:171. Dr. Shimba argues that this title underscores His pre-existent and divine nature. Comparing this to John 1:14, which states, ‘The Word became flesh, ‘ he establishes that the Quran and the Bible align on Jesus being more than just a prophet. The distinctiveness of this title in both scriptures elevates Jesus above all other prophets.

The Virgin Birth and Divine Purpose

A critical point in the book is the Quran’s acknowledgment of Jesus’ virgin birth, as seen in Surah 3:45-47 and Surah 19:17-21. While Islam views this miraculous event as a demonstration of Allah’s power, Dr. Shimba insists that the Bible provides a more profound explanation: Jesus’ virgin birth was necessary because He is the Son of God, not born of human procreation. This unique birth underscores Jesus’ divine origin and mission to save humanity.

Jesus as the Spirit of God

Surah 4:171 also identifies Jesus as ‘a Spirit from Him.’ Dr. Shimba interprets this as evidence of Jesus’ pre-existence and divinity. He draws parallels to Philippians 2:5-8, which describes Jesus existing in God’s form before taking human likeness. The Quran’s acknowledgment of Jesus as a ‘Spirit from God’ strongly supports the Christian doctrine of His divine nature.

Jesus’ Sinlessness and Authority

The Quran, in Surah 19:19, describes Jesus as a ‘holy son, ‘ a title unmatched by any other prophet, including Muhammad. Dr. Shimba explains that this sinlessness aligns with the Christian understanding of Jesus as the perfect sacrifice for humanity’s sins. The Bible affirms this in Hebrews 7:26, portraying Jesus as holy, innocent, and undefiled.

Jesus as the Messiah and Savior

In both the Bible and the Quran, Jesus is recognized as the Messiah. Dr. Shimba asserts that the Quran’s affirmation of Jesus performing miracles, raising the dead, and being taken to heaven (Surah 5:110, 4:158) reflects His divine authority. The Bible expands this role by identifying Jesus as the Savior who reconciles humanity to God through His atoning death and resurrection.
