This may be an obvious NO to most people; Muslims and Christians alike. But when you analyze the facts that each of these religions have in their teachings, you will be quite surprised at the findings.
What sparked this question is the fact that in Islam, Muslims claim that the Prophet Muhammad is the Comforter that is prophesized to come. Muslims teach that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. They make a declaration that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger. Where did Muslims get this claim of a Comforter? They got it from the New Testament.
According to the Gospel of John, Jesus says this:
John 16:7
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”
Muslims use this verse to justify the authenticity of the Prophet Muhammad. They teach that this Comforter was none other than the Prophet Muhammad. The part of the verse that is grossly overlooked is at the end of the verse: but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
The question is who sent the Comforter? Was it Allah or was it Jesus? Or was Jesus the Allah that sent the Comforter? Do you see the discrepancy in the claim that the Prophet Muhammad is the Comforter? This is again why I posed the question, Is Jesus the God of the Koran?
Now if you are a Muslim, you probably have great objections to even posing such a question. But if you are honest, you have to admit that this is a valid question considering the facts. Jesus says he must good so that the comforter can come. He says that when he leaves “he” will send the Comforter.
I ask again, who sent the Prophet Muhammad? Allah, right? Did not the people who Jesus’ time and even up until today call Jesus God? Is not the title Allah a form of saying God in the Arabic language? Could the Koran be referring to Jesus as Allah just as Christians refer to Jesus as God?
These are the type of common types of common sense question people are afraid to ask because of religious indoctrination. The religious dogma most accept are often times void of logic and reasoning. They are based on faith which is basically a belief in something without proof. (Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”) Even if it makes sense or if there is strong evidence to the contrary, the religious person has to accept the doctrine prescribe to them because of their faith. This is utter non-sense.
Is Jesus the God of the Koran? The answer would lean more towards yes than it does towards no. After all, Jesus is exalted in the Koran. He is called the Soul of Allah, the Word of Allah, there is a whole chapter titled after his mother, I could go on. None of these facts I pointed out apply for Muhammad. Most Muslims probably couldn’t tell you who Muhammad’s mother is. Muslims should just give credit where credit is due and acknowledge that they are really Christians!
