Muhammad's revelations, recorded in the Koran/Qur'an teach about Jesus.

From: www.islam101.com

Muhammad's revelations, recorded in the Koran/Qur'an teach that:

1. Jesus was sent by Allah, who supported him with the Holy Spirit, to tell the world Allah's will (2: 87; 5: 110-117*).
2. Allah gave to the world Jesus, exalted him above all others, and supported him with the Holy Spirit as proof of his sovereignty (2: 253*).
3. Allah caused the miracle birth of John the Baptist to the aged Zechariah and his barren wife so John could be the messenger to announce Jesus as the Messiah (3: 33-41*).
4. Allah appointed Mary to be the virgin mother of Jesus, the Messiah (3:42-45; 19:12-22; 21:90*).
5. Jesus would be righteous [sinless] all his life (3:46; 6:86; 19:19*).
6. Jesus would be raised from the dead (19: 33,34*).
7. Jesus, Messiah and son of Mary, crucified, appeared dead and was taken up by Allah himself (4:157,158; 3:55*). He did not "appear to be alive" because he was dead. Crucifixion was the Roman method of execution similar to hanging. No one survived being crucified. See # 6. above.
8. Jesus was a messenger of Allah, who is to be believed (4:171*).
9. Allah taught Jesus his religion and commanded Jesus to establish it (42:13; 43:63*).
10. Allah caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow [the prophets], gave him the Gospel, and placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him (57:27*).
11. Allah strengthened the group of Jews who believed Jesus and his message, so they overcame those who disbelieved (61:14*).
12. The true message of Jesus and the prophets was perverted by religious leaders who were condemned by Allah (9:31*).
13. Long before the Prophet Muhammad, Allah revealed the Torah and the Gospel for mankind's guidance (3:3, 4, 48, 65*).
14. Allah taught Jesus the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. Allah would do miracles through Jesus and make him a messenger to Israel (3:48, 49*).
15. Allah gathered Jesus and caused him to be resurrected and ascended to Allah himself (3:55; 4: 158*).
16. Allah bestowed the Gospel on Jesus to be a light (5: 46*).
17. Observing the Torah and the Gospel brings nourishment from above (5:66*).
18. Those who went astray from Allah's commands were cursed by both David and Jesus (5:78*).
19. Allah inspired Jesus' Disciples to believe in Jesus and his message (5:110*).
20. Jesus and his Disciples were Allah's helpers (61:6,14*).
21. Believe in all that was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received (2:136*).
22. The Surrender, al-Islam, is Islam and Muslims are to be surrendered to Allah's will and guidance (3:19*), as had been revealed to Abraham by God and explained by Jesus. (See: www.abraham-101.org/)
