The arguments in order to prove the Qur’anic Christology is found about the axis of Makka, Najrān and ‘Ukāẓ. This article deals with Prophet Muhammad’s vast relations with Christians in his pre-prophesy and Mecca periods; also how it reflects on Qur'an and its dogmas. The first focus of the Qur’anic Christology was Makka. Because the west of the Arabian Peninsula, where Makka was included, especially Najrān, in the sixth century, one side under the influx of Ethiopians and from the Aryans, Monophysites and Nesturites which rejected by the Orthodox Byzantine on the other side. Christianity in Makka was represented by Arabs and Ethiopians who settled there. There were quite a lot of Ethiopians in Makka during the emergence of Islam and they were working in various services of the Makkans. In this process, many christian concepts such as ‘Isā, Hawāriyyūn, Naṣārā passed into Arabic from Ethiopian litrature; so accordingly these were used in Qur’an. The second major origin of the Qur'anic Christology was Najrān. Prophet Muhammad encountered with Christian Bishop of Najrān, Quss Ibn Sā’ida al-Iyādī, in the “Suq of 'Ukāẓ/Makka Market” near the city and listened him on a camel while he was preaching Monotheism. Moreover, Qur’an spoke of Najran Martyrs. The poetry, plain writing style and oratorical style of the rabic language were used by both Najrān Christian missionaries and Prophet Muhammad itself. Besides, it is notable that Qur’an is a unique book and masterpiece work both in terms of Arabic language and îcâz.
