Abstract :
According to the Bible, Christ was the savior of Abraham's descendants from homelessness and their enjoyment of the land of nectar and lion, and this originated from the historical and cultural conditions of their lives. The descendants of Abraham always waited for such a person, and in every age they applied Christ to someone who they thought was their savior, of whom Jesus was one. It was in this historical and cultural context that Prophet Muhammad declared, I am the promised person of Torah and Bible that will appear at the end of time and make the righteous inherit the land of nectar and milk. It was based on this apocalyptic idea that he considered himself the Khātam al-Anbiyāʼ. All the Abrahamic prophets, including Jesus and Muhammad, were evangelicals; that is, they preached the good news of inheriting such a land. The Bible was nothing but the gospel to such a land. However, in Jewish culture, such a land was introduced worldly and earthly. But in Christian culture it has more of an afterlife and heavenly aspect, and in Islamic culture it has more of a worldly aspect like Jewish culture. Accordingly, the Qur'anic resurrection is described as physical.
Farsi abstract :
مسيح طبق گفتمان كتاب مقدس عبارت بود از منجي ذريه حضرت ابراهيم از بيوطني و برخوردارسازي آنان از سرزمين
شهد و شير، و اين از شرايط تاريخي و فرهنگي زندگي آنان
سرچشمه گرفته بود. ذريه حضرت ابراهيم همواره انتظار
چنين كسي را ميكشيدند و هر دورهاي مسيح را بر كسي
منطبق ميساختند كه تصور ميكردند، منجي ايشان است كه حضرت عيسي از آن جمله بود. در همين بستر تاريخي و
فرهنگي بود كه حضرت محمد اعلان فرمود، من همان موعود
تورات و انجيلم كه در آخرالزمان ظهور ميكند و صالحان را
وارث زمين شهد و شير ميسازد. براساس همين انديشه
آخرالزماني بود كه خود را پيامبر خاتم بهشمار آورد. همه
پيامبران ابراهيمي از جمله حضرت عيسي و حضرت محمد
تبشيري بودند؛ يعني بشارت به وراثت چنان سرزميني ميدادند.
انجيل هم چيزي جز بشارت به چنان سرزميني نبوده است.
منتها در فرهنگ يهودي چنان سرزميني دنيوي و زميني معرفي
ميشد؛ اما در فرهنگ مسيحي بيشتر جنبه اخروي و آسماني
بهخود گرفت و در فرهنگ اسلامي بيشتر شبيه فرهنگ يهودي جنبه دنيوي دارد؛ بر همين اساس، معاد قرآني جسماني توصيف شده است.
