Is there any passage in which Isa is said to be a believer or a Muslim? Certainly the Hawariyun, his disciples, are Muslims.


S 5:111 And when I inspired the Hawariyun to believe in me and in my messenger they said: We have believed and bear witness that we are Muslims.


Question: 'Believe in Allah and Isa?


Muslims will probably quote or cite S 3:51 Allah is my lord and your lord so worship him. This is a straight path.


But is his saying that Allah is his lord proof that he is a Muslim? Might Allah's word and spirit have a religion? A straight path? How many straight paths might there be? Muslims will argue that Allah is our lord, but will they consider us Muslims?


As Iblis calls Allah 'lord', does that mean that he is a Muslim?


S 15:36 He said: Lord, then give me respite to a day they are raised.


S 15:39 He said: Lord, because you have seduced me I will adorn for them on the Earth and seduce them all


S 38:79 He said: Lord, then give me respite to a day they are raised.


There is a passage in which Allah is called a believer.


S 59:23 He is Allah, who is no god but him, the king, the holy one, the peace, the believer, the dominant, the mighty, the tyrant, the arrogant. Praise be to Allah from what they associate!
