The prophet hood of Jesus and not his divinity.

As has already been alluded to, one cannot trust the account in the Bible because of
all the additions and deletions therein. This is compounded by the lack of any
reliable chain of narrators confirming its authenticity.


However from amongst what remains in the Bible today are clear indications that
the Jesus was indeed a prophet and it rejects all notions of him being divine.


Allah is able to verify the truth even if the disbelievers hate it.


The Gospel of John 17:3 contains the following statement. Jesus said,
making supplication to God:


And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and
Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.


The above statement has no other meaning except that the secret of eternal
life is that man should believe in Allah as being the only true God and in Jesus as his
Messenger. This statement does not say that eternal life lies in believing in Jesus as
God.


Add to this what [Luke 6:12] has to say, that Jesus used to pray and worship.


The references are numerous all indicating that Jesus was indeed a man and
selected to fulfill the messenger ship that Allah endowed him with.


It is apparent then that Jesus original message was one of the oneness of God and
the encouragement to worship this one God in order to attain His pleasure.


All of the actions of Jesus indicate this submission and subservience and none of his
actions indicate that he was God.

worship him.


He refers to himself as the Son of Man in the following references:
