?What does the Qur'an say about Jesus

---

In the Qur'an, there are many stories about the life and

teachings of Jesus Christ

(Called 'Isa in Arabic). The Qur'an recalls his

miraculous birth, his teachings, the miracles he

Performed by God's permission, and his life as a

respected prophet of God. The Qur'an also

Below are some direct quotations from the Qur'an

regarding his life and teachings of Jesus.

He Was Righteous

"Behold! the angels said, 'Oh Mary! God gives you glad

tidings of a Word from Him. His name

will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in

this world and the Hereafter, and in

(the company of) those nearest to God. He shall speak

to the people in childhood and in

maturity. He shall be (in the company) of the

righteous... And God will teach him the Book

and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel'" (3:45-48).

He Was a Prophet

"Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a

messenger; many were the messengers that

passed away before him. His mother was a woman of

truth. They had both to eat their (daily)

food. See how God makes His signs clear to them; yet

see in what ways they are deluded

away from the truth!" (5:75).

"He [Jesus] said: 'I am indeed a servant of God. He has

given me revelation and made me a

prophet; He has made me blessed wheresoever’s I be;

and He 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)!' Such was Jesus the son of

Mary. It is a statement of truth, about

which they (vainly) dispute. It is not befitting to (the

majesty of) God that He should beget a

son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He

only says to it, 'Be,' and it is" (19:30-35).

He Was a Humble Servant of God

"And behold! God will say [i.e. on the Day of

Judgment]: 'Oh Jesus, the son of Mary! Did you

say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in

derogation of God?' He will say: 'Glory

to Thee! Never could I say what I had no right (to say).

Had I said such a thing, You would

indeed have known it. You know what is in my heart,

though I know not what is in Yours. For

You know in full all that is hidden. Never did I say to

them anything except what You

commanded me to say: 'Worship God, my Lord and

your Lord.' And I was a witness over them

while I lived among them. When You took me up, You

were the Watcher over them, and You

are a witness to all things'" (5:116-117).

His Teachings

"When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: 'Now I

have come to you with Wisdom, and in
order to make clear to you some of the (points) on

which you dispute. Therefore, fear God and

obey me. God, He is my Lord and your Lord, so

worship Him -- this is a Straight Way.' But

sects from among themselves fell into disagreement. So

woe to the wrongdoers, from the
penalty of a Grievous Day!" (43:63-65)
