Jesus in Islam
1. Do Muslims believe he was a Messenger of One God? Yes.
Belief in all of the Prophets and Messengers of God is a fundamental article of faith in Islam. Thus, believing in Prophets Adam, Jesus, Moses, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon them) is a requirement for anyone who calls him or herself a Muslim. A person claiming to be a Muslim who, for instance, denies the Messengership of Jesus, is not considered a Muslim.
The Qur'an says in reference to the status of Jesus as a Messenger:
[LEFT]"
The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger before whom many Messengers have passed away; and his mother adhered wholly to truthfulness, and they both ate food (as other mortals do). See how We make Our signs clear to them; and see where they are turning away!" (Quran 5:75).
2. Do Muslims believe he was born of a Virgin Mother? Yes.
Like Christians, Muslims believe Mary, Maria in Spanish, or Maryam as she is called in Arabic, was a chaste, virgin woman, who miraculously gave birth to Jesus.
"
Relate in the Book the story of Mary, when she withdrew from her family, to a place in the East. She screened herself from them; then We sent to her Our spirit (angel Gabriel) and he appeared before her as a man in all respects. She said: I seek refuge from you in God Most Gracious (come not near) if you do fear God. He said: Nay, I am only a Messenger from your Lord, to announce to you the gift of a pure son. She said: How shall I have a son, when no man has ever touched me, and I am not unchaste? He said: So it will be, your Lord says: 'That is easy for Me; and We wish to appoint him as a sign unto men and a Mercy from Us': It was a matter so decreed" (Qur'an 19:16-21).
[left]3. Do Muslims believe Jesus had a miraculous birth? Yes.
The Qur'an says: "She (Mary) said: 'O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me.' He (God) said: 'So (it will be) for God creates what He wills. When He has decreed something, He says to it only: 'Be!'- and it is" (3:47(.
It should also be noted about his birth that: "Verily, the likeness of Jesus in God's Sight is the likeness of Adam. He (God) created him from dust, then (He) said to him: 'Be!'-and he was" (Qura'n 3:59).
Allah (God) the creator of this huge universe is able to do anything, & nothing is impossible for him to do, so when he desires to create a human being from a mother with no father, then it`s is to be done by his will & Mighty, which is not impossible even logically & scienctifically, modern science with modern technology could help to bring a creature from a female without the need for the seed of a male by the use of an already created cell from a mother , this was possible to be done by humans whom are created, why it is impossible to be done by the creator of these scientiests.
4. Do Muslims believe Jesus spoke in the cradle? Yes
"Then she (Mary) pointed to him. They said: 'How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?' He (Jesus) said: 'Verily! I am a slave of God, He has given me the ******ure and made me a Prophet; " (19:29-30(
.
this also a prove to his people that he`s a human being selected by Allah to deliver them the message of Allah , so Allah provided him with an extraordinary miracle which is the ability to speak in the cradle .
5. Do Muslims believe he performed miracles? Yes.
Muslims, like Christians believe Jesus performed miracles. But these were performed by the will and permission of God, Who has power and control over all things.
"
Then will God say: 'O Jesus the son of Mary! recount My favor to you and to your mother. Behold! I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit (the angel Gabriel) so that you did speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught you the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel. And behold: you make out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and you breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by My leave, and you heal those born blind, and the lepers by My leave. And behold! you bring forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the children of Israel from (violence to you) when you did show them the Clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic'" (5:110).
6. Do Muslims believe in the Trinity? No.
Muslims believe in the Absolute Oneness of God, Who is a Supreme Being free of human limitations, needs and wants. He has no partners in His Divinity. He is the Creator of everything and is completely separate from His creation.
God says in the Qur'an regarding the Trinity:
"
People of the Book (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, and attribute to God nothing except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a Messenger of God, and His command that He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in God and in His Messengers, and do not say: 'God is a Trinity.' Give up this assertion; it would be better for you. God is indeed just One God. Far be it from His glory that He should have a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth. God is sufficient for a guardian"
(Quran 4:171).
I would like to point out here, that the word Messiah in the above verse comes from (Masaha) which is an Arabic word that means (put the palm of his hands over the affected organ of a person`s body to heal it by the will of Allah)
7. Do Muslims believe that Jesus was the son of God? No.
"
Say:"God is Unique! God, the Source [of everything]. He has not fathered anyone nor was He fathered, and there is nothing comparable to Him!"(Quran 112:1-4).
The Qur'an also states: "Such was Jesus, the son of Mary; it is a statement of truth, about which they vainly dispute. It is not befitting to the majesty of God, that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, 'Be' and it is" (Qur'an 9: 34-35)
.
how can a logical human being whom blessed with a brain that helps him to distinguish between right & wrong ,compare (the great & Mighty creator of that huge universe which can`t be comprehended with our limited abilities even when using modern technology we can`t comprehend that great & vast universe) with (a human being who has no control over somethings in his life & is directed towards things he didn`t choose & may be weakened in some cases) ,
how is it possible that there is a claim ;that the creator may have a human son? it`s like saying that you may have a baby from an ant? is that possible or even imaginable? this is between two creatures who can see each other , what about two, one is created & the other is the creator , also the created one can`t see the creator
8. Do Muslims believe Jesus was killed on the cross then resurrected? No.
"
And because of their saying, 'We killed Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of God'- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Jesus was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely they killed him not (Jesus, son of Mary). But God raised him (Jesus) up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And God is ever All-Powerful, All-Wise" (Quran 4:157-158
).
yes Jesus did not die, & he will return to earth to live for a certain period decreed by Allah for a certain mission, & then die like any mortal
