What do Muslims think about Jesus(peace be upon him)?
Muslims love and respect Jesus (peace be upon him). They consider him one of the greatest of Allah's prophets and messengers to humankind. A Muslim never refers to him simply as "Jesus", but always adds the phrase "may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him." The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth, and a special chapter of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary." The Qur'an describes the Annunciation as follows:
"The Angels said, 'O Mary! Allah has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations..'
'O Mary, Allah gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to Allah. He shall speak to the people in infancy and in old age, and shall be of the righteous.'
She said: 'O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: 'Even so; Allah creates what He wills. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, "Be!" and it is." (Qur'an 3:42, 45-7)
Just as Allah created Adam (pbuh) without a mother or a father, He caused Jesus (pbuh) to be conceived without a father:
"Truly the example of Jesus in relation to Allah is as the example of Adam. He created him from dust and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." (Qur'an 3:59)
During his prophetic mission, Jesus (pbuh) performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said: "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; I make for you out of clay, as it were, a figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by Allah's leave." (Qur'an 3:49)
Jesus (pbuh), like Muhammad (pbuh), came to confirm and renew the basic doctrine of the belief in One Allah brought by earlier prophets. In the Qur'an, Jesus (pbuh) is reported as saying that he came: "To attest the Torah that was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord; so be conscious of Allah and obey me." (Qur'an 3:50)
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "Whoever believes that there is no deity except Allah, alone without partner, that Muhammad (pbuh) is His messenger, that Jesus (pbuh) is the servant and messenger of Allah; His word which He bestowed on Mary (pbuh) and a spirit proceeding from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by Allah into Heaven."
