Muslim believes that Jesus is one of the most prominent prophets of God Almighty. His mother Mary, is the most revered woman in Islam. Chapter 19 of the Qur’an is named Maryam (Mary).
Translation of Chapter 3 verses 45-48 reads:
“Behold! the angels said: “O Mary! God gives thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus. The son of Mary, held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to God. He shall speak to the people in cradle in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous.”
She said: “O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?” He said: “Even so: God createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith To it, ‘Be,’ and it is!” “And God will teach him The Book and Wisdom, The Law and the Gospel.”
Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified but was raised to heaven by God Almighty. Translation of Chapter 4 verses 157-158 reads: “That they said (in boast), We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, The messenger of God” - But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, But so it was made to appear to them, And those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, But only conjecture to follow, For of a surety They killed him not. Nay, God raised him up unto Himself; and God is Exalted in Power, Wise”.
Muslims believe in all of the authentic teachings of Jesus. They believe that most of his teachings have not been preserved but have been altered by others throughout history. They also believes that Jesus will return to earth before the Last Day, will fight the Anti-Christ along side Muslims, and will preach the same message about the oneness of God, before life on this earth will be ended.
