Salvation

CRITICAL AND STRUCTURALLY DIFFERENT FROM EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THIS PIPELINE: نجات (najat) is a shared word across both scripture traditions, not a wrong word standing in for a right one. Islamic najat is secured through Allah’s mercy weighed against deeds at judgment; Christian najat in this curriculum is secured entirely through Christ’s atoning death and resurrection, a doctrine that itself presupposes a crucifixion the Qur’an explicitly denies (Qur’an 4:157: ‘they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it was made to appear so to them’). This is the single most acute textual negation in this entire 5-language batch, requiring the heaviest possible review and the most explicit contrastive teaching every time salvation is discussed.
