Jesus' language was Aramaic as proven in "Eli, Eli, lama sa - batcha - ni" (Matt. 27:46). But this sentence was the only Aramaic sentence reported about Jesus. No gospel is available in Aramaic. The exact Aramaic words of Jesus are lost.
Muhammad's language was Arabic. All that Muhammad said is available in Arabic, the original language which he spoke.
Here you have two persons. Jesus spoke Aramaic and nothing is reported about him in Aramaic. What we have is only translations of lost originals. Muhammad spoke Arabic and all that is reported about him is in the same language which he spoke. Which reports are more authentic in your opinion: those about Jesus or those about Muhammad? Just decide on the basis of one factor at a time. Which reports sound more authentic? What would happen to reports translated from originals that no more exist?
About Me
- redtide
- Someone who's just trying to be a better Muslim. THE KEY in searching for the TRUTH is to keep an OPEN MIND, AVOID bad assumptions and REFRAIN from being fanatic. THE BASIS of perception TOWARDS ALL past and present scholars is to THINK POSITIVELY towards them and render GOOD ASSUMPTIONS. NOT to judge before knowing them IN DEPTH. Enlightenment is NOT ONLY through gathering knowledge for oneself, but the ability to also ENLIGHTEN OTHERS
