Jesus on whom be peacein the Glorious Qur'an       »  The Qur'an tells us a lot of wonderful things about        Jesus. As a result, believers in the Qur'an love Jesus,        honour him, and believe in him. In fact, no Muslim can be        a Muslim unless he or she believes in Jesus, on whom be        peace.The Qur'an says that Jesus was born of a virgin,        that he spoke while he was still only a baby, that he        healed the blind and the leper by God's leave, and that        he raised the dead by God's leave.        What then is the significance of these miracles?        First, the virgin birth. God demonstrates his power to        create in every way. God created everyone we know from a        man and a woman. But how about Adam, on whom be peace?        God created him from neither a man nor a woman. And Eve        from only a man, but not a woman. And, finally, to        complete the picture, God created Jesus from a woman, but        not a man.        What about the other miracles? These were to show that        Jesus was not acting on his own behalf, but that he was        backed by God. The Qur'an specifies that these miracles        were performed by God's leave. This may be compared to        the Book of Acts in the Bible, chapter 2, verse 22, where        it says that the miracles were done by God to show that        he approved of Jesus. Also, note that Jesus himself is        recorded in the Gospel of John to have said, "I can        do nothing of my own authority" (5:30). The        miracles, therefore, were done not by his own authority,        but by God's authority.        What did Jesus teach? The Qur'an tells us that Jesus        came to teach the same basic message which was taught by        previous prophets from God—that we must shun every        false god and worship only the one true God. Jesus taught        that he is the servant and messenger of that one true        God, the God of Abraham. These Quranic teachings can be        compared with the Bible ( Mark 10:18; Matthew 26:39; John        14:28, 17:3, and 20:17) where Jesus teaches that the one        he worshipped is the only true God. See also Matthew        12:18; Acts 3:13, and 4:27 where we find that his        disciples knew him as Servant of God.        The Qur'an tells us that some of the Israelites        rejected Jesus, and conspired to kill him, but Allah        (God) rescued Jesus and raised him to Himself. Allah will        cause Jesus to descend again, at which time Jesus will        confirm his true teachings and everyone will believe in        him as he is and as the Qur'an teaches about him.        Jesus is the Messiah. He is a word from Allah, and a        spirit from Him. He is honoured in this world and in the        hereafter, and he is one of those brought nearest to        Allah.        Jesus was a man who spoke the truth which he heard        from God. This can be compared with the Gospel According        to John where Jesus says to the Israelites: "You are        determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth        that I heard from God" (John 8:40).
