Muslims love Jesus too... YESUS yang mana ?

Christmas, as everyone knows, commemorates the birth of Jesus and is a major religious celebration for Christians around the world.
But what many people don't know is that Jesus is an important figure in Islam, too, even though most Muslims don't celebrate Christmas (though some of us, especially American Muslims, do).
In honor of the holiday, here are six things you may not know about the role of Jesus — and his mother, Mary — in Islam:
  1. Jesus, Mary, and the angel Gabriel are all in the Quran (as are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and a bunch of other Bible characters).
  2. Muslims believe that Jesus (called "Isa" in Arabic) was a prophet of God, was born to a virgin (Mary), and will return to Earth before the Day of Judgment to restore justice and to defeat al-Masih ad-Dajjal ("the false messiah"), also known as the Antichrist. All of which may sound pretty familiar to many Christians.
  3. Mary (called "Maryam" in Arabic) has an entire chapter in the Quran named for her — the only chapter in the Quran named for a female figure. In fact, Mary is the only woman to be mentioned by name in the entire Quran: As noted in the new Study Quran, "other female figures are identified only by their relation to others, such as the wife of Adam and the mother of Moses, or by their title, such as the Queen of Sheba." Mary is mentioned more times in the Quran than in the entire New Testament.
  4. Just as with all the other prophets, including Mohammed, Muslims recite, "Peace be upon him" every time we refer to Jesus.
  5. Muslims believe that Jesus performed miracles: The Quran discusses several of Jesus's miracles, including giving sight to the blind, healing lepers, raising the dead, and breathing life into clay birds.
  6. The story of Jesus's birth as told in the Quran is also the story of his first miracle, when he spoke as an infant in the cradle and declared himself to be a prophet of God. Here's the story:
  7. And remember Mary in the Book, when she withdrew from her family to an eastern place. And she veiled herself from them. Then We [God] sent unto her Our Spirit [the angel Gabriel], and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man. She said, "I seek refuge from thee in the Compassionate [i.e., God], if you are reverent!" He said, "I am but a messenger of thy Lord, to bestow upon thee a pure boy."
    She said, "How shall I have a boy when no man has touched me, nor have I been unchaste?" He said, "Thus shall it be. Thy Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me.’" And [it is thus] that We might make him a sign unto mankind, and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter decreed.
    So she conceived him and withdrew with him to a place far off. And the pangs of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date palm. She said, "Would that I had died before this and was a thing forgotten, utterly forgotten!" So he called out to her from below her, "Grieve not! Thy Lord has placed a rivulet beneath thee. And shake toward thyself the trunk of the date palm; fresh, ripe dates shall fall upon thee. So eat and drink and cool thine eye. And if thou seest any human being, say, ‘Verily I have vowed a fast unto the Compassionate, so I shall not speak this day to any man.’"
    Then she came with him [the infant Jesus] unto her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary! Thou hast brought an amazing thing! O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not an evil man, nor was thy mother unchaste." Then she pointed to him [Jesus]. They said, "How shall we speak to one who is yet a child in the cradle?"
    He [Jesus] said, "Truly I am a servant of God. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet. He has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I live, and [has made me] dutiful toward my mother. And He has not made me domineering, wretched. Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I am raised alive!"
    That is Jesus son of Mary— a statement of the truth, which they doubt.
    Merry Christmas!

    Kerancuan Berfikir tentang Nabi ISA Alaissalam dan Yesus yang di Gereja
    Sebenarnya sudah tidak menarik lagi untuk membahas pernyataan di atas, namun karena ada salah seorang teman saya yang kemudian membagikan artikel tersebut di jejaring sosial saya tergelitik untuk sedikit memberikan pernyataan pribadi sebagai orang yang miskin ilmu. Bukan karena apa - apa, hanya saja seperti ada kesalahan berfikir dan mencampur adukan antara dua barang yang haq dan batil. Tentu aneh bagi kita yang merasa muslim.
    Kerancuan itu terletak pada mencapurkan antara kisah Nabi Isa (yesus) yang kita imani sebagai nabi pembawa berita gembira akan kedatangan Nabi Muhammad dan Orang yang diserupakan dengan Nabi Isa atau Yesus (Judas) ketika diangkat ke langit. Sehingga pertanyaannya adalah "Siapkah sosok yang tergantung di Salib Gereja?".  Nabi Isa atau Yesus yang kita imani sebagai rasul utusan atau Orang yang diserupakan dengan Nabi Isa (Judas)?. Apa lagi di akhir artikel di atas ditambahi "Marry Cristmas" .
    Bagi umat islam, wajib mempercayai bahwa Nabi Isa atau Yesus adalah bagian dari 25 Nabi dan Rasul yang Allah utus ke Bumi yang kemudian diangkat oleh Allah beserta ruh dan jasadnya ke langit ketika hendak di bunuh kaum bani israel yang tidak mempercayai kenabiannya. Kembali kepada tentang ucapan "Marry Cristmas", Siapakah yang dilahirkan tanggal 25 Desember ? Benarkan Nabi Isa atau Yesus dilahirkan tanggal 25 Desember ?. Kita muslim mengakui Nabi Isa sebagai bagian dari keimanan kita kepada Nabi Muhammad, Namun bukan berarti kita boleh dan bahkan di wajibkan mengucapkan Selamat Natal. 
    Muslims love Jesus too... YESUS yang mana ?
    Pertanyaan tentang Yesus yang mana, ini penting kita jawab, agar lebih jelas posisi kita berdiri dalam pembahasan ini. Sudah saya sampaikan diawal bahwa Muslim wajib mengimani Nabi Isa atau Yesus sebagai bagian dari keberislaman kita. Namun, sama kah Yesus dalam persepsi seorang muslim dengan Yesus dalam persepsi orang Kristen hari ini? yang tergantung ditiang salib gereja?.
    katakanlah Kemudian ketika kita mengucapkan selamat natal itu sebagai bentuk mengatakan selamat atas "kelahiran Yesus". Sebagai seorang muslim yang tahu akan sejaran, Benarkan yesus di lahirkan pada 25 desember ?.
    Mengapa kita hari ini (masih) ribut masalah boleh tidaknya mengucapkan selamat hari natal yang sudah jelas bahwa Yesus dalam persepsi muslim dan kristen sudah beda, ditambah keabsahan tanggal 25 desember sebagai kelahiran yesus masih dipertanyakan oleh para ilmuan pakar kristen sendiri. Jangan sampai maksud baik kita menampakkan kebodohan kita, tentang siapa yang lahir pada tanggal 25 desember. 
    Namun permasalahannya adalah ketika umat kristen hari sudah sangat percaya bahwa 25 desember adalah kelahiran yesus.  Mati ditiang salib untuk menebus dosa umat manusia. Kemudian dijadikan salah satu dari oknum yang disembah dan tergantung di gereja.
    Kalau kita mengucapkan selamat natal itu, kira - kira orang yang kita berikan ucapkan itu menangkap apa yang kita ucapkan itu sesuai persepsi mereka atau sesuai persepsi kita?
    Maka dengan kita mengucapkan selamat hari natal, berarti kita mengiyakan apa yang menjadi kepercayaan mereka bahwa Nabi Isa atau Yesus dilahirkan pada tanggal 25 desember. Mati di tiang salib menebus dosa kemudian dijadikan satu dari tiga oknum tuhan yang disembah.
