Why we shall believe in Christ according to Koran?
Sura Maida 5:68 (71)
1. People of the Book: The people who believe in all books of heaven, specially according to the Muslim faith, who believe in the Tawrat (Books of Moses), Jabur (Psalm), Injeel (Gospel) and Koran are the believers of books.
2. Establishing Tawrat and Injeel:
In this verse, Koran says clearly that those who specially do not establish Tawrat (Book of Moses) and Injeel (Gospel), they have no base at all. Now question is – what do we understand by ‘establishing a book’? Nobody can establish something, until he deeply believes in that. When someone believed in something deeply and he does not follow it, it is meaningless. So, the overall meaning of this Kuranic verse is that: he, who claims himself a ‘Muslim’, (he, who has surrendered himself to Allah) he should deeply believe in Tawrat and Injeet, he should follow all of its’ teachings, otherwise he will have no base at all. So, it is a prime responsibility of a Muslim to believe, accept and to follow the teachings of the Gospel to establish it.
Sura Shura 42:13
According to this verse, we have to establish the religion of Abraham, Moses and Jesus. We should not differ in it. It means that we should not spread any disbelief about the religion of Jesus or Christian religion; rather we should be attentive to establish them. If anyone fails to follow this law, he will receive the punishment of God.
Al-Imran 3:33
God has selected the descendents of Imran among the people of the world. Imran was the father of Mary who was the mother of Jesus Christ. It means that God has selected Christ above all the people of the world.
Al-Imran 3:55
The followers of Jesus will win over the nonbelievers until the last judgement day commences. So, God has given the superiority to the followers of Jesus.
Sura Nisa 4:159
Each believer of the Books before his death must believe in Jesus Christ. So, a true Muslim who believes in the Koran must believe in Jesus and must follow His way of salvation. Otherwise punishment of hell is waiting for them.
Sura Araf 7:40
The people who will not follow the above mentioned words are proud. For them the door of heaven should be closed. It will be harder for them to go to heaven than to enter a camel through needle's hole.
