Summary/Abstract: In Christian theology, Logos, referred to as ‘the reality of Jesus’ in this paper, is represented in a way similar to that used to denote ‘the reality of Muhammad’ in Islamic gnosis. Logos is the essential sameness with God’s existence, the uncreated, the eternal and everlasting, the creator of the world of existence and its ruler, its maker and guide, a presentation worthy of the Lord. Contrary to this, the reality of Muhammad, the real creation (the first divine creation present through its own reality) is the action of God’s emanation over all creatures, creator of the world and its ruler, the most sublime expression of God, the mediator between the spiritual level of the world and absolute prophecy. All that is mentioned in Islamic gnosis as the reality of Muhammad is also mentioned in Christian theology as the reality of Jesus, with a difference that the reality of Muhammad is created, and that of Jesus is uncreated.
