Jesus

In Islam, Isa ibn Maryam (Arabic : ﻋﻴﺴﻰ ﺑﻦ
ﻣﺮﻳﻢ , translit. ʿĪsā ibn Maryām, lit. 'Jesus, son of Mary'), or Jesus (b. ~4 AD), is understood to be the penultimate prophet and messenger of Allah (God ) and al-Masih , the Arabic term for Messiah ,the
"Christ ", [3] sent to guide the Children of Israel ( banī isrā'īl in Arabic) with a new revelation: al-Injīl (Arabic for "the Gospel"). Jesus is believed to be a prophet,who neither married nor had any children, and is reflected as a significant figure, being mentioned in the Quran in 93 ayaat (Arabic
for verses) with various titles attached such
as "Son of Mary ", "Spirit of God", and the "Word of God "among other relational
terms, directly and indirectly, over 180 times.
The Quran (central religious text of Islam)
and most Hadith (testimonial reports)
mention Jesus to have been born a "pure
boy" (without sin) to Mary (Arabic : ﻣﺮﻳﻢ ,
translit. Maryām) as the result of virginal
conception ,similar to the event of
the Annunciation in Christianity. In Islamic
theology, Jesus is believed to have
performed many miracles , several being
mentioned in the Quran such as speaking as
an infant, healing various ailments like
blindness, raising the dead to life, making
birds out of clay and breathing life into
them.Over the centuries Islamic writing
has referenced other miracles like casting
out demons, having borrowed from pre-
Islamic sources, some heretical, and from
canonical sources as legends were
expanded.Like all prophets in Islamic
thought , Jesus is also called a Muslim (i.e.,
one who submits to the will of God), as he
preached that his followers should adopt the
"straight path ".
Jesus is believed to have been the precursor
to Muhammad, attributing the name Ahmad
to a following prophet. Islam traditionally
teaches the rejection of divinity, that Jesus
was not God incarnate , nor the Son of God
and, according to some interpretations of
the Quran, the Islamic view of Jesus' death
and crucifixion is widely denied and not
believed to have occurred. Despite the
earliest Muslim traditions and exegesis
quoting somewhat conflicting reports
regarding death and length of death,the
mainstream Muslim belief is that Jesus
didn't suffer death but was instead raised
alive to heaven .
Muslim tradition believes Jesus will return to
earth near the Day of Judgment to restore
justice and to defeat al-Masih ad-Dajjal ("the
false messiah", also known as the
Antichrist ),not as a new prophet
( Muhammad being the final prophet ), but
continuing from the time of his Ascension
and living for another 40 years before dying
a natural death.
