One God

And your God is One God. There is none worthy of worship except Him, the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate.
[The Qur’an, Chapter 2, Verse 163]
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only (God); Allah, the Eternal, Absolute (the One on whom all depend, while He is independent of all); He did not beget, nor was He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.
[112:1-4]

One Humanity

O Mankind! Allah created you from a single pair of a male and a female (Adam and Eve), and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know each other. Surely, the most honoured of you to Allah is the most righteous of you.
[49:13]

One Religion

The Religion and Way of Life with Allah is Islam, that is, submission to the Will of Allah.
[3:19]

Many Prophets

In every nation, Allah has raised a Messenger, who preached the same message: Worship only Allah, and avoid evil. [16:36] Allah has mentioned the stories of some Messengers in The Qur’an, and others He has not. [40:78]

Jesus: A Prophet of Islam

Jesus was a Prophet

Muslims believe that Jesus (peace be upon Him) is one of the Prophets of Allah (God), who had been sent to guide the Children of Israel with a new scripture. In fact, belief in all of the Prophets and Messengers of Allah is a fundamental article of faith in Islam. The Holy Book of Muslims, the Qur’an, declares: “Say (O Muhammad): ‘We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham (Ibrahim), Ishma’el, Isaac (Ishaq), Jacob (Yaqub), and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses (Musa), Jesus (Isa), and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam).” (Qur’an, 3/84).

Jesus (Isa) is seen in Islam as a precursor to Muhammad, and is believed by Muslims to have foretold the latter’s coming. In fact, according to the Islamic creed, the original religion taught by all these prophets is and

was always Islam, which means peaceful submission to the One and Only God.

Another verse in the Qur’an (5/46) affirms that Jesus follows the line of Prophets like Moses before Him: “And We sent after them (the previous messengers) in their footsteps Jesus, son of Mary, verifying what was before him in the Torah and We gave him the Gospel in which was guidance and light, and verifying what was before it in Torah and a guidance and an admonition for the God-fearing.”

Jesus is mentioned by name in twenty- five places in the Qur’an. He is also addressed with respect as “son of Mary; messiah; servant of Allah; messenger of Allah.” He is also spoken of as “the word of God”, “the spirit of God”, a “sign of God”, and numerous other epithets of honor spread over fifteen different chapters

Mary and the Virgin Birth of Jesus

Muslims respect and honor Jesus and His mother Mary. Many Muslims name their children Isa (Jesus) and Maryam (Mary). There is indeed a chapter in the Qur’an, named Maryam. There is also another

chapter named after her father, Imran. According to the Qur’an, Mary was a chaste and virgin woman who miraculously gave birth to Jesus: “And when the angels said: O Mary, surely Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the world.” (Qur’an, 3/42)

Muslims believe that Jesus was born from a Noble Virgin. Muslims do not, however, accept the virgin birth of Jesus as evidence of Jesus’ divinity. “She (Mary) said: ‘O My Lord! How can I have a child when no man has touched me?’ (God) said: ‘Even so; Allah creates what He pleases. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, “Be!”,

and it is.’” (Qur’an 3/47). “The similitude of Jesus before God is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: ‘Be.’ And he was.” (Qur’an, 3/59). Adam’s creation was even more miraculous because he was born without a father or mother. When Mary brought the baby to her people, they said: “O Mary! Truly, you have brought a strange thing! O sister of Aaron! Your father was not a man of evil, nor your mother a woman unchaste!” Mary then pointed to the baby. They said: “How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?” Then a miracle occured. In defense of his mother, baby Jesus spoke, and said: “I am indeed a servant of Allah. He has given me revelation and made me a prophet; and He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me prayer and charity as long as I live; He has made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable; so peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)!” (Qur’an, 19/27-33).

Miracles of Jesus

Jesus was given the ability to perform miracles to aid him in his quest, all by the

permission of God. “I have come to you, with a sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s leave. And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I bring the dead into life, by God’s leave; and I declare to you what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if you did believe. (I have come to you) to attest the Torah which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (before) forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. So fear God, and obey me. It is God Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a way that is straight.” (Qur’an, 3/49-51).

Was Jesus a God or the Son of God?

Muslims do not view Jesus as the Son of God or a God but consider him as an ordinary human being who, like other prophets, had been divinely chosen to spread Allah’s message to his people, the people of Israel. Islam forbids the association of partners with God, emphasizing the notion of God’s divine oneness. The Qur’an declares: “There is nothing like unto Him.” (Qur’an, 42/11); and, “He begets not, nor was he begotten.” (Qur’an, 112/3).
