When a father sits down with his daughters and honestly examines the claim that Jesus Christ is God, the answers that emerge are striking in their clarity. In this powerful episode of The Deen Show, a Muslim convert and his young family cut through centuries of theological confusion to arrive at a truth so simple even a child can grasp it — Jesus never claimed to be God, never asked anyone to worship him, and never established a faith centered on himself. Instead, his message was identical to every prophet before him: worship the one Creator alone.
What Was the Faith of Jesus Christ?
The central question posed to Christians is disarmingly direct — if being a Christian means being “Christ-like,” then what was the actual faith of Jesus himself? When asked about the greatest commandment, Jesus answered with pure monotheism straight from the Torah: “The Lord your God is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your might, and with all your strength.” This was not a new religion. This was the same faith of Abraham, Moses, David, and every prophet in history. In Islam, this principle is called Tawheed — the absolute oneness of God — and it is the foundation upon which all truth rests.
“If you want to be Christian, which means to be like Christ, then you would worship God alone. Simple as that. That was the faith of Jesus — to worship God. As a Muslim, I have the same faith that Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, had when he walked this earth.”
Why the Trinity Fails the Test of Common Sense
- Jesus never built a church or called people to worship him — in 33 years of life, he never once said “worship me and you will go to heaven.”
- The term “Christian” did not exist during his lifetime — his own disciples never used the word, raising the question of what they actually called themselves and their faith.
- A nine-year-old daughter heard the Apostles’ Creed and immediately recognized the contradiction — “God the Father is God the Son, and the Son is the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit is not the Father” — and said plainly, “that doesn’t make any sense.”
- The doctrine of the Trinity was introduced by Paul, a man who never met Jesus, never walked with him, and never heard him teach, yet somehow became the architect of modern Christian theology.
- God cannot change — if He is the one absolute stable factor in the universe, then His message of pure monotheism has always been the same, from the first prophet to the last.
Islam Honors Jesus More Than You Think
A common misconception is that Muslims reject Jesus. The Quran teaches the exact opposite. To be a Muslim, you must believe in Jesus Christ — his virgin birth, his prophethood, his righteousness, and his miracles. The difference is that Islam draws a clear line between the Creator and the creation, a distinction Jesus himself affirmed when he said, “I do nothing of my own — the Father works through me.” Muslims simply take Jesus at his word. The religion of Islam stands as the only purely monotheistic faith on earth today because it maintains what every prophet taught without compromise: there is one God, nothing is like Him, and He alone deserves worship.
“On the Day of Judgment, would God truly punish someone for worshipping Him alone — the way Abraham worshipped Him, the way Noah worshipped Him, the way Jesus worshipped Him? That makes no sense. But I can prove that God says He will punish those who worship anything other than Him. That is why Islam is the only pure monotheistic religion on the face of the planet today.”
A Family United on Faith and Truth
- Islam divides into two beautiful categories — the rights that belong to God alone (worship, devotion, obedience) and the rights that belong to creation (kindness, justice, treating others well). Jesus taught both.
- God’s religion is supposed to be simple — accessible to every human being regardless of intellect, education, or status. One God, no partners, no confusion.
- Muslims are among the last principled moral holdouts — in a world where identity and values shift weekly, Islam offers an unchanging anchor rooted in the Quran and the example of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
- The famous “one finger” gesture seen from athletes like Khabib to the Moroccan World Cup team is not a symbol of extremism — it is the declaration of Tawheed, the same monotheism Jesus would have proclaimed.
The path to God has never been complicated. It was not meant to be understood only by scholars or theologians — it was meant for every soul that sincerely seeks the truth. Islam preserves the original message of Jesus, upholds the legacy of all the prophets, and offers a family-centered faith built on reason, mercy, and the worship of God alone. If you are searching for answers about Jesus, about God, and about your purpose in life, study Islam with an open heart and let the Quran speak for itself.
