Hello Muslim friends. I’m hoping to understand how Islam views certain ideas found in the Jewish Tanakh. I know Muslims believe the original revelations to the prophets were true, even if the current text isn’t fully preserved, so I’m asking about the concepts rather than assuming the text is perfect.

Here are two passages from the Tanakh that mention a "son". Please help me understand them from an Islamic perspective.

Isaiah 9:6–7
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder;
and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this."

Proverbs 30:4
“Who has ascended to heaven and come down?
Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Surely you know!”

How do Muslims interpret the idea of the "son" in these passages? Thank you.

Salam Alaikum Muslim friends.. I'm here to seek clarification as to how Muslims view the Son of Man in the Hebrew Scriptures, namely, Daniel 7:

^(13) “I saw in the night visions,

and behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.
^(14) And to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.

Who is this Son of Man according to Islamic belief? Thank you.

Below is my understanding of the gospel/good news. I’m not here to argue -- I’m genuinely curious how progressive Christians articulate the gospel and how it compares to my understanding, so I’d love to hear what you find agreeable or disagreeable. Not looking to debate, thanks.

We as humans are wonderful, made in the image of God, but deeply sinful, deeply hypocritical. This is a problem when an infinitely Holy God exists and must judge sin -- we are under his holy wrath. But Jesus came to save us from our sins, save us from God's holy wrath, and deliver us from our darkness that we hide, justify, and minimize. Jesus lived a life we cannot live - a sinless life - and presented himself as the sacrificial lamb, went to the cross and died for our sins as an atoning sacrifice, appeasing the wrath and justice of God.

And on the third day, he was raised to life -- vindicated by God, proving his identity, his sinlessness, and the sufficiency of His sacrifice. By believing in him, we will not die in our sins. He is the way, the truth, and the life -- let us repent of our sins, be clothed with his righteousness, and receive the Holy Spirit to walk in newness of life. Amen.

So I'm a Christian, and I'm looking for a simple connection with genuine fellow believers. I'm 40 years old though and not into the typical social scenes.

I'm basically a loner for reasons. I live a simple existence and pretty much just trying my best not to drop dead. So if you're a fellow Christian around the same age, and you're okay doing nothing special and supporting and encouraging one another in Christ PM me.
