Ch 5: Misconception 9
Muslims don't believe
in Jesus or any other prophets:
Muslims respect and revere Jesus, peace
be upon him, and await his Second Coming. They consider
him one of the greatest God's messengers to mankind. A Muslim never refers to him simply as 'Jesus', but always adds the
phrase "peace be upon him ". The Holy Qur'an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Holy
Qur'an is entitled 'Mary'),
and Mary is considered the purest woman among all the creation. The Holy Qur'an describes the
Annunciation as follows:
{{ And (remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allâh has
chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above
the women of the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinns) (of her lifetime)." , . O Mary! "Submit yourself with obedience to
your Lord (Allâh, by worshipping none but Him Alone)
and prostrate yourself, and Irkâ'i (bow
down etc.) along with Ar-Râki'ûn (those
who bow down etc.)." , This is a part
of the news of the Ghaib (unseen, i.e.
the news of the past nations of which you have no knowledge) which We inspire
you with (O Muhammad). You were not with them, when they cast lots with their
pens as to which of them should be charged with the care of Maryam (Mary); nor were you with them when they disputed., (Remember) when the angels said: "O
Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allâh
gives you the glad tidings of a Word ["Be!" - and he
was! i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)] from Him, his name will be the Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam
(Mary), held in honour in this world and in the
Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allâh." , "He will speak to the
people in the cradle and in manhood, and he will be one of the righteous." , She said: "O my Lord!
How shall I have a son when no man has touched me." He
said: "So (it will be) for Allâh creates what He
wills. When He has decreed something, He says to it only: "Be!" and it is. And He (Allâh) will teach him ['Iesa (Jesus)] the Book and Al-Hikmah (i.e. the Sunnah, the faultless speech of the Prophets, wisdom,
etc.), (and) the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).,
(Holly Qur’an 3:
42-48)
" Jesus "peace be upon him" was born
miraculously through the same power, which had brought Adam " peace be upon him
" into
being without a father:
{{ Verily,
the likeness of 'Iesa (Jesus) before Allâh is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust,
then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he was. }},( Holly Qur’an 3: 59).
During his prophetic mission Jesus
" peace be upon him"
performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us
that he said:
{{ And will make him
['Iesa (Jesus)] a Messenger to the Children of Israel
(saying): "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you
out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it
becomes a bird by Allâh's Leave; and I heal him who
was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allâh's Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what
you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe.
}},
(Holly Qur’an 3:
49).
Neither Muhammad- peace be upon him-
nor Jesus "peace be upon them came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in One God brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm
and renew it.
In the Holy
Qur'an Jesus " peace be upon
him" is reported as saying:
{{ And I have come confirming that which was before me of the
Taurât (Torah), and to make lawful to you part of what
was forbidden to you, and I have come to you with a proof from your Lord. So
fear Allâh and obey me. , Truly! Allâh is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (Alone). This
is the Straight Path. }},( Holly Qur’an 3:
50-51).
This is similar to what we find in
the Bible when Jesus " peace be upon him " said in the
Book of Matthews: "5:17 Think not that I am
coming to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not coming to destroy, but to
fulfill"
