Exploring Islam from a Christian background: Understanding Prophet Isa (Jesus)

Assalamu alaikum dear brothers and sisters, I'm someone who grew up Christian and I'm really drawn to Islam, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the Islamic view of Prophet Isa, peace be upon him. From what I've learned, in Islam he's honored as a great Messenger who taught pure monotheism, and his original message got altered over time. But here's what confuses me: if we Muslims don't rely on the Bible as it is today, how do we actually know what Isa truly preached? Like, where do we find his authentic teachings? I'd be grateful for any guidance. Jazakum Allahu khairan.

Salaam bro, the Quran is our main source. It confirms the Injeel revealed to Isa AS and corrects the changes people made. We know his true message because Allah preserved the Quran perfectly.

Honestly, the Quran clarifies everything. Even parts of the Bible still hint at monotheism if you read carefully, but the Quran explains without the corruption.

I was in your shoes once. What helped me was reading Surah Maryam and Surah Al-Imran. They lay out his story clearly. The Bible has bits of truth but the Quran is the criterion.

MashaAllah welcome. We don't need the Bible. Allah's final revelation through Muhammad SAW tells us what Isa really taught: tawheed and following Allah's laws. May Allah guide you.

Think of it like this: Allah sent the same message to all prophets. The Quran restores the original. It's not about relying on old books, it's trusting Allah's last word.
