In Islam Islam (Arabic: الإسلام al-’islām, pronounced [ʔislæːm] [note 1]) is the religion articulated by the Qur’an, a book considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of the single incomparable God (Arabic: الله, Allāh), and by the Islamic prophet Muhammad's demonstrations and real-life examples (called the Sunnah,, Jesus Jesus of Nazareth , also known as Jesus Christ, Christ Jesus, or variations thereof, is the central figure of Christianity, which views him as the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament, and within which most denominations recognize him as the Son of God and as God incarnate. Islam considers Jesus a prophet and also the Messiah, whereas Judaism (Arabic Arabic (العربية al-ʿarabīyah, ( Arabic pronunciation ) or عربي ʿarabi) is a Central Semitic language, thus related to and classified alongside other Semitic languages such as Hebrew and the Neo-Aramaic languages. In terms of speakers, Arabic is the largest member of the Semitic language family. It is spoken by more than 280 million: عيسى `Īsā) is considered a messenger of God In Islam, a Messenger is a prophet sent by Allah with a shariah "Divine Law" (see distinction between Prophets and Messengers) who had been sent to guide the Children of Israel In the Bible, the Israelites were the descendants of the Biblical patriarch Jacob. They were divided into twelve tribes, each descended from one of twelve sons or grandsons of Jacob (banī isrā'īl) with a new scripture, the Injīl The Injil (Arabic إنجيل is one of the five Islamic Holy Books the Qur'an records as revealed by God, the others being the Suhuf Ibrahim, Zabur, Tawrat and Qur'an (gospel).[1] The Qur'an The Qur’an is the central religious text of Islam. Muslims believe the Qur’an to be the book of divine guidance and direction for mankind, and consider the original Arabic text to be the final revelation of God, believed by Muslims to be God's final revelation, mentions Jesus 25 times.[2] It states that Jesus was born to Mary Mary , the mother of Jesus, is considered the most righteous woman in Islam. She is the only woman mentioned by name in the Qur'an - her name is mentioned more than it is in the New Testament (Arabic: Maryam) as the result of virginal conception The virgin birth of Jesus is a tenet of Christianity and Islam which holds that Mary miraculously conceived Jesus while remaining a virgin. A universally held belief in the Christian church by the second century, this doctrine was included in the two most widely used Christian creeds, which state that Jesus "was incarnate of the Holy Spirit, a miraculous event which occurred by the decree of God God is a deity in theistic and deistic religions and other belief systems, representing either the sole deity in monotheism, or a principal deity in polytheism (Arabic: Allah Allah (Arabic: الله, Allāh, IPA: [ʔalˤːɑːh] ) is the standard Arabic word for God. While the term is best known in the West for its use by Muslims as a reference to God, it is used by Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christians and Jews, in reference to "God". The term was also used by pagan Meccans as a). To aid him in his quest, Jesus was given the ability to perform miracles A miracle is a perceptible interruption of the laws of nature, such that can be attempted to be explained by divine intervention, and is sometimes associated with a miracle worker. Many folktales, religious texts, and people claim various events they refer to as "miraculous". People in different cultures have substantially different, all by the permission of God. According to Islamic texts, Jesus was neither killed nor crucified Crucifixion is an ancient method of painful execution in which the condemned person is tied or nailed to a large wooden cross and left to hang until dead. The term comes from the Latin crucifixio ("fixed to a cross", from the prefix cruci-, "cross", + verb ficere, "fix or do".), but rather he was raised alive up to heaven Jannat is the Islamic conception of paradise. The Arabic word Jannah is a shortened version meaning simply "Garden". According to Islamic eschatology, after death, one will reside in the grave until the appointed resurrection on Yawm al-Qiyāmah. Muslims believe that the treatment of the individual in the life of the grave will be. [3] Islamic traditions narrate that he will return to Earth near the day of judgment The concept of a Last Judgment is found in all Abrahamic religions and elsewhere. In Christian theology, the Last Judgment, Final Judgment, Judgment Day, or Day of the Lord is the final and eternal judgment by God of all nations. It will take place after the resurrection of the dead and the Second Coming . This belief has inspired numerous to restore justice and defeat al-Masīḥ ad-Dajjāl Masih ad-Dajjal is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology. He is to appear pretending to be Masih (or the Messiah) at a time in the future, before Yawm al-Qiyamah (Judgment Day). (Compare to Armilus) (lit. "the false messiah", also known as the Antichrist The Antichrist according to Christianity, is one who fulfills Biblical prophecies concerning an adversary of Christ while resembling him in a deceptive manner. The antichrist will seemingly provide for the needs of the people but deny the ultimate salvation. "Antichrist" is the English translation of the original Koine Greek ἀντίχρ).[4][5] Like all prophets in Islam Muslims regard as prophets of Islam those non-divine humans chosen by Allah (the standard Arabic-language word for "the God"). Mere humans rely on revelation or tradition to identify prophets, Jesus is considered to have been a Muslim A Muslim , pronounced /ˈmʊslɪm/, is an adherent of the religion of Islam. The feminine form is Muslimah[citation needed] (Arabic: مسلمة). Literally, the word means "one who submits (to God)". Muslim is the participle of the same verb of which Islam is the infinitive. Muslims believe that there is only one God, translated in, as he preached for people to adopt the straight path in submission to God's will. Islam rejects that Jesus was God incarnate Incarnation which literally means embodied in flesh or taking on flesh, refers to the conception and birth of a sentient creature who is the material manifestation of an entity or force whose original nature is immaterial or the son of God "Son of God" is a phrase found in the Hebrew Bible, various other Jewish texts and the Christian Bible. In the holy Hebrew scriptures, according to Jewish religious tradition, "Son of God" has many possible meanings, referring to angels, or humans or even all mankind. According to most Christian denominations, it also refers to, stating that he was a mortal man who, like other prophets, had been divinely chosen to spread God's message. Islamic texts forbid the association of partners with God (shirk Shirk is the Islamic concept of the sin of polytheism specifically, but in a more general way refers to worshipping other than Allah, associating partners with him, giving his characteristics to others beside him, or not believing in his characteristics. Within Islam, Major Shirk is a forgivable sin if one repents from it while one is alive, but), emphasizing the notion of God's divine oneness Tawhid is the concept of monotheism in Islam. It holds God (Arabic: Allah) is one (wāḥid) and unique (ahad) (tawhīd). Numerous titles are given to Jesus in the Qur'an, such as al-Masīḥ ("the messiah Messiah literally means "anointed (one)"; the anointed one" i.e. by means of blessings), although it does not correspond with the meaning accrued in Christian belief. Jesus is seen in Islam as a precursor to Muhammad Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullāh (Arabic: ﷴ; Transliteration: Muḥammad; pronounced [mʊħɑmmæd] ; also spelled Mohammed or Muhammed) (ca. 570/571 Mecca[مَكَةَ ]/[ مَكَهْ ] – June 8, 632 Medina), is the founder of the religion of Islam [ إِسْلامْ ] and is regarded by Muslims as a messenger and prophet of God (Arabic: الله, and is believed by Muslims to have foretold the latter's coming.[5][6]

Q. True Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet and believe in living the teachings of Jesus. We can argue whether Jesus was a God or merely a Prophet or we can be true disciples of Jesus by living his words: The Holy Bible's Definition of a disciple of Jesus: John 13: 34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." Source: Source of The Islamic View of Jesus:

A. Yes, good, real Muslims believe in the teachings and words of Jesus. They also believe that he will come again. And this is probably going to cause a ruckus...but this my personal experience. And I"m not saying my opinion in the only opinion. But from I experience as being raised as a Christian and being surrounded by Muslims... Muslims have more respect for Jesus. They really listen to his, and the other prophets' words. Just thought I"d put it out there.
