Christ in Islam

Jesus (Peace be upon him) and the disciples with him passed by the carcase of a dog. The disciples said, "What a stench this dog makes " Then he (Blessing and peace be upon him ) said, "How white are its teeth " A man said to Jesus, son of Mary (Blessing and peace be upon him ), "Give me some advice." He replied, "Consider where your bread comes from." The Messiah (God bless him and grant him peace ) said, "The world is a bridge, so pass over it and do not inhabit it. Stories and sayings of Jesus are found throughout the Muslim tradition, in the Qur'an, in the writings of the Sufis and in the works of the great Islamic philosophers. James Robson's classic collection of these shows us the Islamic version of Jesus, a humble wanderer who was willing to learn from anyone, and who passed on his understanding to his disciples using pithy aphorisms and teaching situations. James Robson was Professor of Arabic at Glasgow university. Andrew Phillip Smith (foreword) is the author of The Lost Sayings of Jesus: Annotated & Explained, The Gospel of Philip: Annotated & Explained, and The Gospel of Thomas: A New Version Based On the Inner Meaning.
