Muslim interpretation of messianism

Abstract

Muslim origin arose in the VI century as a branch of Old Testament monotheism, as well as a reaction to the Jewish-Christian tradition. The founder of Islam, the Prophet Mohammed, was not for the Muslims God, embodied in the image of man. Islam denied the rebellion as in principle a false idea. Allah was recognized as the only and absolute God, which in any way could not be embodied in the image of man through his absolute transcendence. Therefore, according to the Muslims, Christ was only a prophet, but not crucified on the cross by God.
