من طرف What Do Muslims Believe about Jesus?
Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him). They
consider him one of the greatest of God’s messengers to mankind.
The Qur’an confirms his virgin birth, and a chapter of the Qur’an
is entitled ‘Maryam’ (Mary). The Qur’an describes the birth of
Jesus as follows:
_ (Remember) when the angels said: “O
Mary, God gives you good news of a word
from Him (God), whose name is the Messiah
Jesus, son of Mary, revered in this world and
the Hereafter, and one of those brought near
(to God). He will speak to the people from his
cradle and as a man, and he is of the righteous.”
She said: “My Lord, how can I have a
child when no mortal has touched me?” He
said: “So (it will be). God creates what He
wills. IfHe decrees a thing, He says to it only,
‘Be!’ and it is.” _ (Qur’an, 3:45-47)
Jesus was born miraculously by the command of God which
had brought Adam into being without a father. God has said:
_ The case of Jesus with God is like the case
of Adam. He created him from dust, and then
He said to him, “Be!” and he came into being.
_ (Qur’an, 3:59)
During his prophetic mission, Jesus performedmany miracles.
God tells us that Jesus said:
_ “I have come to you with a sign from your
Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out
of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird
by God’s permission. I heal the blind from
birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to
life by God’s permission. And I tell you what
you eat and what you store in your
houses....” _ (Qur’an, 3:49)
Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified. It was the plan
of Jesus’ enemies to crucify him, but God saved him and raised
him up to Him. And the likeness of Jesus was put over another
man. Jesus’ enemies took this man and crucified him, thinking
that he was Jesus. God has said:
_ ...They said: “We killed the Messiah Jesus,
son of Mary, the messenger of God.” They
did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but
the likeness of him was put on another man
(and they killed that man)... _ (Qur’an, 4:157)
Neither Muhammad _ nor Jesus came to change the basic
doctrine of the belief in one God, brought by earlier prophets, but rather to confirm and renew it.
