Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith 18 ⓘ

« Hadith 17 (Hasan)

Hadith 19 (Hasan) »

Narrated A'ishah: The Apostle of Allaah ( sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam ) used to remember Allaah, the Great and Majestic, at all moments.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، - يَعْنِي الْفَأْفَاءَ - عَنِ الْبَهِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى كُلِّ أَحْيَانِهِ ‏.‏

The Gospel of Barnabas 16th Century Forgery

Muslims often appeal to the Gospel of Barnabas as an early and original Gospel. It presents a Quran-like Jesus who was substituted for another on the cross and predicts that Mohammed would come as a messenger and prophet of God. These claims are attractive to Muslims, however, the document is a forgery composed 900 years after the birth of Islam.

Scripture

Is Jesus the biological child of God?

Muslims think that Jesus' title of 'Son' means God entered into a biological relationship with Mary, yet in the OT 'Son' is a title rooted in kingship and deity.

Theology

Why Jesus is Good and God

The Quran denies the deity of Jesus. Muslims often point to Mark 10:18 to show that Jesus himself claimed not to be God. A careful reading of the passage in question, however, shows that rather than denying his divinity, Jesus in this very passage is claiming to be the divine Saviour.

Theology

Appearances of the Son of God in the Old Testament

Jesus Christ is believed to have appeared in the Old Testament. Key examples include Jesus appearing as the divine Angel of the Lord to figures like Hagar, Moses, and Gideon. Understanding these appearances supports the view that Jesus' divinity and presence are consistent throughout both the Old and New Testaments.
