(part 1 of 2): \u201cThe Messiah\u201d and \u201ca Miracle\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Islam, besides Christianity, is the only major world religion that recognizes Jesus. A Muslim\u2019s belief is incomplete without Jesus. Prophet Muhammad said:
\n\u201cIf anyone testifies that none has the right to be worshipped but God alone who has no partners, and that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger, and that Jesus is God\u2019s servant and His Messenger and His Word which He bestowed on Mary and a Spirit from Him, and that Paradise is true, and Hell is true, God will admit him into Paradise with the deeds which he has done even if those deeds were few.\u201d[1]<\/p>\n

In other words, without sound belief in Jesus, one can never earn God\u2019s Paradise. As with other prophets of God, Muslims add to his name, alai his-salam, which means, \u2018Peace be upon him.\u2019[2] Even though Jesus said, \u201cPeace I leave with you; my peace I give you,\u201d[3] in the Gospel, Christians rarely use any honorific term but \u2018Christ\u2019, and this as part of his name. Though this may be due to the idea that the Christian does not pray for him, but to him, it shows that Muslims have a great deal of respect for him despite not sharing such a viewpoint.<\/p>\n

Quran is the sacred scripture of Islam, and in it, more than ninety verses spread across fifteen chapters of the Quran discuss Jesus. Three chapters of the Quran are named after their reference to Jesus: the third chapter of Quran, \u2018The Family of Imran,\u2019 is named after the father of Mary; the fifth chapter, \u2018The Table,\u2019 is likely named after the last supper. Lastly, the nineteenth chapter is named after Mary.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nHis Name in the Quran<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In Arabic, Jesus is known as Eesa. In sixteen of the 25 places in the Quran where Eesa is used, he is called \u201cthe son of Mary\u201d (Ibn Maryam). Since he had no father, he was named so after his mother.[4]<\/p>\n

The Descriptive Titles of Jesus in the Quran:<\/p>\n

\n(1) The Messiah<\/h4>\n

Prior to the appearance of Jesus, belief in the coming of the Messiah has been a basic and fundamental part of traditional Judaism. It is part of Maimonides\u2019 Thirteen Articles of Faith which are considered the minimum requirements of Jewish belief.[5] In the Shemoneh Esrei prayer[6], recited three times daily, modern Jewry prays for the Messiah who will be their king from the line of David to come and restore the glories of its golden age. In Hebrew, \u2018Messiah\u2019 means the \u2018anointed one.\u2019 It is interesting to note that the Old Testament prophecy emphasizes the humanity of the Messiah by referring to him as the \u201cson of man\u201d (Daniel 7: 13)[7] and not God.<\/p>\n

The ideology of the Messiah has a central position in Christian theology. According to the Bible, Jesus claimed to be the expected Messiah of the Jews (John 4:25-26)[8], but they rejected him. Therefore, Christians apply \u2018Christ\u2019 – the Greek word for \u2018Messiah\u2019 – to Jesus. In addition, they also maintain the Messiah will be the son of God.<\/p>\n

The Quran corrects Jews and Christians in their excesses. It considers the Jews to be in the right in believing the Messiah to be human, but equates their rejection of Jesus to disbelief,
\n\u201cAnd (We cursed them) for their disbelief\u2026 and their boastful claim: Indeed, we have killed the [so-called] Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of God. And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him.\u201d (Quran 4:156-157)<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Quran agrees with the Christians who identify Jesus to be the Messiah, but considers their insistence that the Messiah is the son of God to be blasphemy:
\n\u201cIndeed, they are unbelievers who say, \u2018God is the Messiah, the son of Mary.\u2019\u201d (Quran 5:72)<\/p>\n

The truth, according to the Quran, is that:
\n\u201cThe Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a messenger; messengers before him had indeed passed away.\u201d (Quran 5:75)<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Quran states that the Messiah called to the worship of \u201cthe true God\u201d like all the prophets before him:
\n\u201cBut the Messiah said, \u2018O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord.\u2019\u201d (Quran 5:72)<\/p>\n

The Quran refers to Jesus as the Messiah (al-Maseeh) at least nine times.[9] One of the explanations given by Muslim lexicographers is that Jesus was the Messiah because he anointed the eyes of the blind to cure them (Quran 3:43; Mark 6:13; James 5:14), or because he used to lay hands on the sick.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n(2) Sign<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Quran describes Jesus to be a \u2018Sign,\u2019 an aayah in the Quran. In the terminology of the Quran a miracle is a \u2018sign\u2019 of God to display divine might and unrestricted ability to do acts outside the chain of cause and effect. In this sense, the virgin birth of Jesus is a miracle; a wonderful show of God\u2019s mighty power to do as He pleases. Therefore, Jesus is a \u2018sign\u2019 not only to the Israelites but to the entire world:
\n\u201cAnd We made the son of Mary and his mother as a Sign.\u201d (Quran 23:50)<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026We may make him a sign to men…\u201d (Quran 19:21)<\/p>\n

\u201cand We made her and her son a sign for all peoples.\u201d (Quran 21:91)<\/p>\n

In addition, the Quran declares Jesus\u2019 second coming to be a \u2018sign,\u2019 an announcement that the Judgment Day is coming close, \u201cAnd indeed, Jesus will be a sign for the Hour (of Judgment), so have no doubt about it, and follow Me. This is a straight path.\u201d (Quran 43:61)<\/p>\n

\n(part 2 of 2): A \u201cWord\u201d and \u201cSpirit\u201d from God<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n(3) \u201cWord\u201d from God<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Jesus is referred to as a \u201cWord\u201d from God in three passages in the Quran. No other prophet has been described with such a title.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026O Mary! Behold, God gives you good news of a word from Him, who shall become known as the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary…\u201d (Quran 3:45)<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of God, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary…\u201d (Quran 4:171)<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026God gives you good news of (a son whose name is) John, (who comes) to confirm a word from God\u2026\u201d (Quran 3:39)<\/p>\n

Christians believe that in the first chapter of the Gospel of John, Jesus is identified as \u201cthe Word\u201d (logos in Greek) incarnated, or made flesh. \u201cIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth…\u201d<\/p>\n

The Christian idea of the logos is completely different from the simple Islamic understanding of the \u2018Word.\u2019 The idea of the Greek logos may be traced back at least to the 6th century BC philosopher, Heracleitus. He proposed that there was a logos in the cosmic process analogous to the reasoning power in man. The Greek speaking Jewish philosopher, Judaeus Philo of Alexandria (15 BC – 45 CE), taught that the logos was the intermediary between God and the cosmos. The writings of Philo were preserved and cherished by the Church, and provided the inspiration for a sophisticated Christian philosophical theology. \u201cThe identification of Jesus with the logos\u2026 was further developed in the early church but more on the basis of Greek philosophical ideas than on Old Testament motifs. This development was dictated by attempts made by early Christian theologians and apologists to express the Christian faith in terms that would be intelligible to the Hellenistic world and to impress their hearers with the view that Christianity was superior to, or heir to, all that was best in pagan philosophy.\u201d[1]<\/p>\n

Islam provides a clear explanation of how Jesus was a \u201cWord\u201d from God. But first the process of human procreation must be understood. The Might of God is behind everything. Whenever God decides to do something, like giving life or causing death, He says the word \u201cBe\u201d and it happens,
\n\u201cIt is He who gives life and causes death; and when He decrees a matter, He but says to it, \u2018Be,\u2019 and it is.\u201d (Quran 40:68)<\/p>\n

The first step in human procreation is the biological union between male and female reproductive cells in addition to the will of God. Since Jesus was born without a father, he was not conceived by the male sperm cells. Instead his creation, similar to Adam, is solely attributed to the Word of God, \u2018Be.\u2019 God says:
\n\u201cIndeed the likeness of Jesus to God as the likeness of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him, \u2018Be,\u2019 and he was.\u201d (Quran 3:59)<\/p>\n

The Quran gives details of Jesus\u2019 conception. Mary was not impregnated by a man. Angel Gabriel, referred to in the Quran as the Spirit, brought the soul of Jesus \u2013 his soul was created by God like other human souls – to breathe it into Mary. On seeing the angel, she expressed with surprise,
\n\u201c\u2018My Lord,\u2019 said Mary, how shall I have a son when no man has ever touched me?\u201d (Quran 3:47)<\/p>\n

The angel answered,
\n\u201cThus it is: God creates what He wills: When he decrees a matter, He only says to it: \u2018Be,\u2019 and it is.\u201d (Quran 3:47)<\/p>\n

Gabriel then blew the soul of Jesus into Mary, \u201cso We blew into it (her womb) through Our angel.\u201d (Quran 66:12)<\/p>\n

In essence, Jesus is God\u2019s \u2018Word\u2019 because he came into existence by God\u2019s Word – \u2018Be\u2019 – as the Quran describes in another passage,
\n\u201cHis word which He conveyed unto Mary…\u201d (Quran 4:171)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n(4) \u201cSpirit\u201d from God<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In the Quran, God attributes certain creations to Himself as a means of respect and honor. For example, God calls the sacred mosque in Mecca \u201cMy House\u201d as a means of veneration. God says:
\n\u201cAnd We enjoined Abraham and Ishmael saying: \u2018PurifyMy House for those who circumambulate (it), and those who abide (in it) for devotion, and those who bow down (and) those who prostrate themselves.\u201d (Quran 2:125)<\/p>\n

The Quran describes Jesus to be a \u2018Spirit\u2019 proceeding from God:
\n\u201cWe breathed into her (Mary) from My Spirit.\u201d (Quran 21:91)<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026a Spirit created by Him.\u201d(Quran 4:171)<\/p>\n

\u201cWe blew into (her womb) through Our angel.\u201d (Quran 66:12)<\/p>\n

Jesus was a spirit, or more correctly, a soul created by God, brought by Gabriel, a mighty angel of God, and breathed into Mary:
\n\u201cWe blew into (her womb from her garment) through Our angel.\u201d (Quran 66:12)<\/p>\n

Jesus was not a \u2018part,\u2019 \u2018person,\u2019 or \u2018activity\u2019 of God that separated and dwelled inside Mary. He is called a \u2018Spirit\u2019 from God as a symbol of respect and honor, not divinity.<\/p>\n

Likewise, God also gives Adam this characteristic of being His spirit. God said when He ordered the angels to prostrate to Adam upon his creation.:
\n\u201cSo, when I have fashioned him (Adam) completely and breathed into him (Adam) the soul which I created for him, then fall down prostrating yourselves unto him.\u201d (Quran 38:72)<\/p>\n

Indeed Jesus is given an honored status in the Quran and is has been given certain titles and descriptions not given to other prophets, but this in no way should cause a person to believe that Jesus was anything other than mortal. This can be summarized in the following verse in which God says:
\n\u201cO People of the Book (the Jews and the Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, and do not speak (lies) against God, but (speak) the truth; the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is only a messenger of God and His Word which He bestowed on Mary and a Spirit from Him; believe therefore in God and His messengers, and say not, \u2018Three\u2019. Desist, it is better for you; Indeed God is only one diety; far be it from His glory that He should have a son, To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and God is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.\u201d (Quran 4:171)<\/p>\n
