Qur'an testimony for Jesus, my Muslim friend

The Qur'an gives a confirmed testimony that Jesus was distinguished with being "high honored in this world and the next, near-stationed to God." (House of Imran 40). It was reported in El-Kashaf: "Being high honored in this world means prophet-hood and excelling above people and 'in the next', means intercessions and supremacy of position in heaven." El-Razi, a noted Muslim scholar, continued to say that the prophets may be considered highly honored, but not every one who is highly honored is neared-stationed to God as Jesus is described in that very verse. For El-Razi believed that the saints in heaven are set according to degrees and levels; but no prophet or saint has ever come close to the position of Christ, for He alone is above all humans, and Who is above all Humans except the Living God?

John 3:31-36

 

³¹ The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. ³² He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. ³³ Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. ³⁴ For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. ³⁶ Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.
