Allah, word and spirit instead of Father, Son, Holy spirit

Postby mhmmdshkh on Fri Jul 17, 2009 5:34 am

I've read lately in the following link http://fatherbassit.com/books/christ/trinty/trinty7.htm
that Quran disagree with the term: the father , the son and the Holy spirit, But Quran said instead Allah, the Word, and the Spirit.
But Why Muslim should combine the three things together, or can we combine together
why we just say Allah is the only God
and Jesus, Mohammad, Ibraham are the messengers of Allah
and we still believe in the spirit and the holy spirit but why don't we just say as Allah said in Quran: " And they ask you (O Muhammad) concerning the Ruh (the Spirit); Say: "The Ruh (the Spirit): it is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little." Quran 17:85

What I find interesting in my studies is that early Jewish Christians talked about Jesus in very similar terms that the Qur'an uses for Jesus.

The RuhuAllah or the Kalimatullah where both titles given to Jesus along with al-Masih. It was the title Kalimatullah that would eventually lead later Christians to begin talking about Jesus as present at the Creation of the world. But, it is only because Jesus was he who the Word of God became. It was actually the Word of God which was present with God at Creation, not Jesus of Nazareth. This is what kept early Jewish Christians within monotheism.

From my study of the Qur'an, I think Islam restores the proper understanding of God's oneness, plus maintains Allah's (swt) presence in Creation through His spoken Word and through the sending on His Spirit. I agree with you that this a better way of describing God's oneness and presence.

Last, in speaking about Jesus (Isa al-Masih) (as), it says in the Qur'an Sharif that Jesus was created by God's Word, "Be! and it was", but according to at least some classical Qur'anic commentary (See Mahmoud Ayoub's The Qur'an and Its Interpreters Vol. 2) , Jesus was created by that "Be" and he was that "Be." This means that Jesus of Nazareth was created by God's Word, but that he also was God's Word. That definitely makes him near-stationed to God in my understanding...

I wonder why more Muslims do not pray in Jesus' name because of his status as near to God? If Allah has given Jesus leave to heal and no where does it say that that permission has been taken away, and now that Jesus is in heaven with God, doesn't it seem like people of true faith should still pray in Jesus' name?
