Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 What do Muslims believe about Jesus? Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him) , and await his second coming. They consider him one of the greatest of God's messengers to mankind.... A Muslim never refers to him simply as `Jesus', but always adds the phrase " peace be upon him. " The Qur'aan confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur'aan is entitled `Mary') in her time, and Mary is considered the purest woman in all creation. The Qur'aan describes the creation of Jesus as follows (interpretation of the meaning): " Behold! the Angel said, `God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, God gives you glad tidings of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the Hereafter, and one that shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and shall be of the righteous.' She said: `O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: `Even so; God creates what He wills. When He decrees a thing, He but says to it, " Be! " and it is. " [Quran 3:42-7] Jesus (peace be upon him) was born miraculously through the same power which had brought Adam (peace be upon him) into being without a father: " Truly, the likeness of Jesus unto Allaah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, `Be!' and he was. " [ Quran 3:59 ] During his prophetic mission, Jesus (peace be upon him) was granted and performed many miracles. The Qur'aan tells us that he said (interpretation of meaning): " I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by Allaah's leave. And I heal the blind and the lepers, and I raise the dead by Allaah's leave. " [Quran 3:49] Other miracles include speaking soon after birth in defense of his mother's piety. God's other gifts to him included healing the blind and the sick, reviving the dead, and, most importantly, the message he was carrying. These miracles were granted to him by God to establish him as a prophet. According to the Qur'aan, he was not crucified, but only appeared so; instead, Allaah raised him unto Heaven. (Quraan, Chapter Maryam) Neither Muhammad (peace be upon him), nor Jesus (peace be upon him), came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in one God, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it. In the Quran Jesus (peace be upon him), 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 form your Lord, so fear God and obey me.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 My comment is: the one bond chistians and muslims have is Gabriel Archangel appeared to both Mary and Mohammed; this is alwasy recall as I live daily life Other miracles include speaking soon after birth in defense of his mother's piety. this is funny ! I could just see this: Mary and Jesus and family gathering to eat dinner and pray; people around saying; oh sure...Jesus was born without a human father; tell me another one ! What will Joseph and Mary think of next ? Like I am going to believe Jesus was conecived by the Holy Ghost not Joseph ! Ha Ha Ha all of a sudden they hear this voice; excuse me ? huh ? I said excuse me ? ummm were you just talking about my Mother incorrectly ? Huh who said that ? they look over to see the Baby Jesus speaking You better not defame my Mother's piety ! I could really believe this because Jesus was a Child Prodigy; Amen ! Other miracles include speaking soon after birth in defense of his mother's piety. Hey you leave my mother's character alone you ! My House shall be a House of Prayer and worship not a den of thieves! As for me and my House we shall serve the Lord; amen ! and amen ! ~ , " talal_ssss " <talal_ssss wrote: > > > > What do Muslims believe about Jesus? > > > > > > Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him) , and await his > second coming.
