Jesus is one of the most beloved Prophets in the Islamic faith. He is the penultimate Prophet and Messenger of God. He was sent with the Gospel, and lived in the regions near Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Jesus embodied peace and at this time of the year we ask for peace in the region he was born into.
Muslims love Jesus dearly, and he is amongst the five greatest Prophets to have been sent by God.
The Qur’an, the holy book for Muslims, dedicates a full chapter to Mary, the mother of Jesus. The 19th chapter of the Qur’an is named after her. Jesus was born with no father. Mary, otherwise known as Maryam, is considered amongst the greatest and most-righteous of women, in the Islamic faith.
The Qur’an attributes many miracles to Jesus. He is mentioned 25 times in the Qur’an. He would speak from the cradle, create birds from clay, heal the blind and the l***r, and bring the dead back to life. All of this, with the permission of God. We believe that Jesus was raised by God to the heavens, and he will descend once more for his second coming.
Islam is a monotheistic religion; Muslims believe that God is nothing like the creation. He has no offspring, neither is he born from anything. He is One and independent of the creation, whilst the creation is in need of Him.
Helping one's neighbours, showing mercy to others in the community and looking after one another, are all traits we have learned from the life of Jesus.
Know that Muslims love Jesus dearly. Peace and blessings be upon him.
