Muslim Jesus

Overview

Isa Ibn Maryam (=Jesus of Nazareth) is regarded by Muslims as a Messenger of God and Prophet. He was the Messiah sent to the people of Israel to give them a new Scripture, the Gospel.

Jesus in the Qur'an

The Qur'an provides an original narrative of the life of Jesus that only in part parallels Christian canonical and apocryphal traditions. While keeping the Gospel(s) in high esteem, the Qur'an maintains that it was somehow "corrupted" by the Christians. The Qur'an aims to confirm the Gospel by giving what is claimed to be its correct and original significance.

The Qur'an begins with an account of the life of Mary.


The Qur'an denies thatJesus died on the cross, "though it was made to appear like that to them." In reality "God raised [Jesus] unto himself."

"And they said we have killed the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of God. They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, though it was made to appear like that to them; those that disagreed about him are full of doubt, with no knowledge to follow, only supposition: they certainly did not kill him. On the contrary, God raised him unto himself. God is almighty and wise."—Quran surah 4 (An-Nisa النساء) ayah 157-158
