Jesus

Jesus(called "Essa" in Arabic)

Islam honors all the prophets who were sent to mankind. Muslims respect all prophets in general, but Jesus in particular, because he was one of the prophets who foretold the coming of Muhammad. Muslims, too, await the second coming of Jesus. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah's prophets to mankind. A Muslim does not refer to him simply as "Jesus," but normally adds the phrase "peace be upon him" as a sign of respect.

No other religion in the world respects and dignifies Jesus as Islam does. The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary"), and Mary is considered to have been one of the purest women in all creation. The Qur'an describes Jesus' birth as follows:
"Behold!' the Angel said, God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and he shall be of the righteous. She said: "My Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: "Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, 'Be!' and it is." [3:42-47]Muslims believe that Jesus was born immaculately, and through the same power which had brought Eve to life and Adam into being without a father or a mother.
"Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." [3:59]

During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said:
"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." [3:49]

Muhammad and Jesus, as well as the other prophets, were sent to confirm the belief in one God. This is referred to in the Qur'an where Jesus is reported as saying that he came:"To attest the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." [3:50]Prophet Muhammad emphasized the importance of Jesus by saying: "Whoever believes there is no god but Allah, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is a servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven. [Bukhari]

The words said in Quran and Hadith about Jesus prove to you the reality of Islam:

1- God praised him as a great prophet.
2- Jesus message is well clarified in Quran.
3- Jesus second coming is fortold in both the Quran and hadith.
4- Christians had confused Jesus as son of God.
5- God is not angry with Jesus but Christians particularly after he clarified to them in Quran the reality of Jesus.
6- As all the prophets of old testament, Jesus also worshiped the only one God of the universe.
7- His mother Mary is the best woman God has created. He chose her as the mother of his great and miraculously created prophet.
8- Jesus teachings are in large part similar to Muhammad peace be upon them both.

If Muhammad was the author of the Quran you would find a lot of jealousy to Jesus. If Satan was the author of the Quran we would find a lot of Antichrist teachings and not the same message as Christ. If Christians still can not accept that Jesus was not the son of God they have:

1- To consult the old testament for the first commandment and the message of the prophets.
2- To consult Jesus words and not Paul in the new testament. True he referred to God as my father but he also referred to him as our father.
3- To read the Quran and decide if it is the word of God or not. If it is we have to accept what God said about the reality of Jesus.
