Several Muslims have mentioned in conversations that Jesus appeared and spoke to them in their dreams. For some, it led them on a journey to salvation. However, some Christian friends have questioned this, and some have asked for my thoughts on the matter.
Some of my Muslim friends argue with me that when the Qur’an states that as Muslims we believe in whatever Moses and Jesus were given (Sura 3:84), it does not mean the present Torah and the Gospels that are part of the Bible. The following is my response.
1. The Qur’an’s own language
Sura 3:84 says: “We believe in Allah, and in what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Tribes, and what was given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to the prophets from their Lord…”
Notice it doesn’t say “fragments” or “lost books”—it affirms a continuity of revelation.
A Muslim reader wrote: Who wrote the gospels? Why were they written anonymously? You can't defend Christianity at all. The following is our response.
Christianity does not rest on nameless, late legends. The Gospels are rooted in historical eyewitness testimony, written within the lifetime of those who saw Jesus, preserved faithfully, and confirmed by the early church, who knew the authors personally. My response to your two questions is as follows.
In a few days, Muslims around the world will celebrate Eid al-Adha, honoring Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. Consider sharing with Muslim friends that Jesus is the ransom sacrifice.
Yoga and meditation have become popular worldwide, often presented as physical exercises or relaxation techniques. However, for the Bible-believing Christian, it is vital to evaluate these practices not just culturally or medically, but spiritually and theologically, in light of God’s Word.
