Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith 5 ⓘ

Another tradition on the authority of Anas has: " O Allaah, I seek refuge in Thee." Shu'bah said: Anas sometimes reported the words: "I take refuge in Allah."

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، - يَعْنِي السَّدُوسِيَّ - حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، - هُوَ ابْنُ صُهَيْبٍ - عَنْ أَنَسٍ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً ‏"‏ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

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

Muslims love to reference Mark 13:32 as a clear indication that Jesus never claimed to be God. Reading the verse out of context and without a wider understanding of the incarnation, does seem at first reading to support the Muslim view. However, on further study, we see there is no contradiction between Jesus claiming to be God and claiming not to know the hour of his return.

Theology

The Deity of Jesus in Mark’s Gospel

Although being one of the earliest parts of the New Testament to be written, Mark’s Gospel shows us clearly that Jesus is God. This counters the claim that John’s Gospel’s view of Jesus was a later development by Christians. According to Mark, Jesus is none other than the LORD himself.

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.

Theology

Key Source: Like Moses

Many Muslims claim that in Deuteronomy 18:15-18 Moses was referring to Muhammad as "a prophet like me". However, a quick comparison shows that Muhammad was not like Moses is several significant ways.
