Passage

Romans 4

• Doctrine

  Faith

  Iman shares its name with the Islamic six pillars of faith; must be anchored to personal trust in Christ specifically, not generic religious assent.

  ROM.4.1-25

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  Iman is the established Bible term but is also the foundational Islamic concept of the six pillars of faith (rukun iman: belief in Allah, angels, books, prophets, the day of judgment, and divine decree).

  ROM.4.1-25

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

  Islam affirms a general bodily resurrection of all people at the day of judgment, so the concept of resurrection itself is not foreign, but Christ's specific, historical resurrection as vindication of his divine sonship and firstfruits of believers' own resurrection must be distinguished from that generic end-times expectation.

  ROM.4.25

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

  Islam affirms a general resurrection at judgment day but denies Jesus was crucified at all (Quran 4:157), making his specific historical resurrection, not just resurrection in general, the point requiring careful distinction.
