Muhammad as a second advocate

Abstract

Diplomsko delo zastavlja aktualno vprašanje o primerjavi krščanstva in islama ter analizira Božje razodetje v obeh religijah, v ospredje svojega raziskovanja pa postavlja evangeljskega Jezusa ter islamskega preroka Mohameda in primerja njuno življenje ter poslanstvo. Osnovni problem diplomskega dela je vprašanje Božjega razodetja, za katerega muslimani trdijo, da se je dokončno izvršilo v islamu in ne v krščanstvu. To prepričanje temelji na Jezusovi napovedi prihoda drugega tolažnika v 14. poglavju 26. vrstice Janezovega evangelija. Diplomsko delo s pomočjo eksegetskih priročnikov Jezusovo napoved razišče in razloži. Ravno tako smo s pomočjo literature bošnjaških islamskih teologov podrobneje raziskali razloge in utemeljevanja islama kot prave vere in prepričanja, da si islam lastni zadnje in dokončno Božje razodetje. V začetku diplomskega dela primerjamo krščansko in islamsko pojmovanje Božjega razodetja. Temu vprašanju smo se posvetili bolj metodološko kot vsebinsko. Delo nadalje opredeli vlogi Božjih poslancev, posvetili smo se predvsem delovanju Jezusa in Mohamedu, njuni vlogi v skupnosti ter vlogi kot začetnikov dveh velikih religij. Obrobno smo se posvetili tudi predstavitvi Jezusa v Koranu kot velikega preroka in islamski kristologiji. Raziskovanje in ugotovitve diplomskega dela izhajajo iz korenin ene in druge religije ter primerjave njunih stičnih točk, kar je ključnega pomena za kasnejši razvoj in pojmovanje razodetja. Diplomsko delo je izključno teoretično. Delo uporablja komparativno ter sintetično metodo, s pomočjo katerih opredeli, opiše in pojasni razlike ter stične točke danes dveh največjih religij ter njunih protagonistov.The thesis raises the current question of comparing Christianity and Islam, and analyzes God\u27s revelation in both religions. A primary focus of our research is the Jesus of the Gospel and the Prophet Muhammad of Islam through a comparison of their lives and mission. A basic point of difference explored in our thesis is the question of God\u27s revelation, which Muslims claim to have been completed in Islam and not in Christianity. This contention is based on Jesus\u27 announcement of the arrival of another advocate in John 14:26. Our thesis, developed through exegetical manuals, explores and explains the prediction of Jesus. In the same way, through the literature of Bosniak Islamic theologians, we examined the reasons and justification of Islam as the true religion and the belief that Islam claims the last and ultimate revelation of God. At the beginning of our thesis development, we compare the Christian and Islamic conceptions of God\u27s revelation. We approach this part of our studymore methodologically than content-wise. We then delve into considerations of the role of God\u27s people, and above all focusing on the work of Jesus and Muhammad, their place in their respective communities, and their role as founders of two great religions. We shall include references to Jesus found in the Quran as a great prophet in Islamic Christology. The research and findings of our thesis are derived from the roots of both religions, and the comparison of their common points. This phase of our studyis of key importance for the later development and conception of revelation. Our thesis is purely theoretical founded on elements of a comparative and synthetic method to identify, describe and explain the differences and the common points of today\u27s two major religions and their protagonists
