The Holy Qur’an and the Blessed Injeel both clearly teach that Hazrat Isa ( ع ) is given great honour both here and in the life to come.
إِذْ قَالَتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكِ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِنْهُ اسْمُهُ الْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَجِيهًا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآَخِرَةِ وَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
When the angels said, “Mariam, Allah gives you good news of a word from him, whose name will be the Messiah, Isa son of Mariam, highly exalted in this world and the hereafter, and brought near [to Allah].”
Holy Qur’an | Ali ‘Imran 3:45
τοῦτον ὁ θεὸς ἀρχηγὸν καὶ σωτῆρα ὕψωσεν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ, [τοῦ] δοῦναι μετάνοιαν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
God exalted him to his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
Blessed Injeel | Acts 5:31
τοῦτον ὁ θεὸς ἀρχηγὸν καὶ σωτῆρα ὕψωσεν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ, [τοῦ] δοῦναι μετάνοιαν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.”
Blessed Injeel | Acts 4:12
Some thoughts
So the Bible and the Qur’an agree that Hazrat Isa ( ع ) is exalted in this world and in the world to come.
- We see he is exalted in this world from his unique titles.
- We know he is exalted in the world to come because he can speak on our behalf and is a witness on the day of resurrection.
The word وَجِيهًا (here written as “highly exalted”) means the person between two parties. Such as the person between a king and a tribe he rules over.
The king would tell the person what he wants. That person would tell the tribe. When a tribe wants to send a message to the king, they would use this person to speak to the king.
The Holy Qur’an and the Blessed Injeel affirm that Hazrat Isa ( ع ) is highly exalted; the one between God and men.
