Umar (ra) had never anticipate to see a mosque in Baitul Maqdis. He believed Muhammad (pbuh) arrived in Jerusalem and he went to a site where he thought Buraq would have dismounted the Prophet. He was surprised to find the place to be full of debris. He eventually clear the mess and built a...

What do you think was the expectation of Umar (ra)?

That's the Majesty, the grandness of the Night Journey (al-israk). It goes beyond the narrow confines of breaking physical barriers and transcends into the divine spectrum. Muhammad (pbuh) was given the opportunity to see beyond the normal physical constraints. The Prophet travelled from Masjid...

The reference to the 'doors' of the masjid might not have been from a hadith. Even then, it was a Miraculous Night Journey and God showed Muhammad (pbuh) many things during his stop at Baiytul Maqdis.

Glory to Him Who carried His beloved by night from the Sacred Masjid to the Furthest Masjid, whose precincts We have blessed, to show him of Our wonders! He it is Who is All-Hearing, All-Seeing: Quran 17:1 The Sacred Masjid, Masjidil Haram, as a building, was not built when the surah was...

Great. At least we have one thing in common. Indeed, Jesus never claimed to be God. The Torah and Gospel have never been lost. Again, we are in agreement here. Sura 5:68 explained that only if the Jews and Christians follow the Torah, Gospel (singular, not Gospels according to ...) and the...

People attributed a lot of things about Jesus. The fact is he never claimed to be God, but others made the claims. You can list all the things that you think Jesus claimed to be God and I can help to show you that you have misunderstood what jesus said.

I believe it could refer to both pre- and post- Muhammad's (pbuh) time.

There is NO historical evidence to prove that Jesus, the son of Mary, was crucified.

dcalling does not understand what the Quran refers to as the "Injeel" or "Gospel". There is nothing in the Quran which says that the Injeel is a collection of books written by phantom persons. The Quran speaks of the "Injeel" as follows: "And in their footsteps We sent Jesus, the Son of Mary...

I wonder how a man who was scourged and crucified could have been raised from the dead, in an attire unglamorous that his follower thought he was a gardener, and secretly met his disciples and had a fine supper with the 12 disciples. Such a nice setup.

Well, there is no historical evidence for the crucifixion. How bad could that be? If indeed Thomas touch the wounds on Jesus' hands and side, he would have confirmed Jesus was crucified, and being an eye-witness could have gave testimonial to that. This was starkly absent post-crucifixion. Paul...

You mean you want evidence for no evidence? What did Jesus confirmed? That he was crucified? Nope. He did not say that. Even Thomas did not confirm that Jesus was crucified. Prove to me otherwise. Jesus was not resurrected. He was not killed or crucified. He came out of hiding to see his...

The verse did not say Jesus "appeared to others as crucified/killed", as if he appeared from the dead and met the Jews as a crucified/killed person. The verse said the Jews did not kill or crucified Jesus, but it appeared to them that they had done so. Did Thomas said the nail marks and side...

It does not say Jesus "appeared to others as crucified/killed". Jesus did not show his wounds. Read the text carefully. This is what he said, according to the bible: Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and...

The Quran states that the Pharaoh "made its people into factions" - meaning before this there was no faction before this which leads to oppressing one of its people and killing the new born sons. It is so clear. That was not the 'factions' referred to in the Quran. The Quran mentioned the...

Yes, but the incidence of James and the priest weigh much to the NT narrations I could not ignore.

How do you confirm the man who was crucified was actually Christ and that he was dead? The setup was rather queationable. The man was dead in a few hours (instead of days) after being crucified that even Pilate was surprised. Imagine being 'buried' in a rich man's place and the body disappeared...

Actually, that was in response to your opinion that there was no historical Jesus, if I used my proposed criteria for evidence of crucifixion.

I really do not see any error in the Quranic verse: Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into factions, oppressing a sector among them, slaughtering their [newborn] sons and keeping their females alive. Indeed, he was of the corrupters. To summarise, 1. There were...
