Romans 4

• Doctrine

  Faith

  ایمان is shared vocabulary with the six articles of Islamic faith; every occurrence must make explicit that the object of saving faith is personal trust in Christ specifically, not creedal assent to a list of beliefs.

  ROM.4.1-25

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  ایمان is shared vocabulary with Islamic theology (belief in Allah, his angels, his books, his messengers, the last day, and divine decree -- the six articles of iman) and is not rejected, since it is also the settled Urdu Christian Bible term; however, every occurrence must make the object of faith explicit (trust in Christ specifically), since ایمان's Islamic usage names assent to a creedal list rather than personal trust in a specific mediator.

  ROM.4.1-25

• Glossary Term

  Resurrection

  CRITICAL AND DISTINCT FROM EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THIS BATCH: unlike the vernacular Hindu-context languages, Islam does NOT deny bodily resurrection -- qiyamat (the general resurrection of all people for judgment) is a core, affirmed Islamic doctrine.

  ROM.4.25

• Doctrine

  Resurrection of Christ

  CRITICAL AND DISTINCT IN KIND FROM EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THIS PIPELINE: Islam affirms a general bodily resurrection (qiyamat) at the end of time, so this doctrine is not denied outright the way it might be assumed to be; however, Christ's death is denied (see the closely related atonement/crucifixion risk under Salvation and Grace), which makes his specific, already-accomplished resurrection ahead of the general resurrection a claim that presupposes a crucifixion Islamic theology rejects happened at all (Qur'an 4:157).
