Jesus (Isa) holds a special place in Islam 🌿. Muslims honor him as a prophet, born of a miracle, a bringer of mercy, and a sign of God’s greatness. His life, miracles, and future return make him one of the most beloved figures in the Muslim faith. 🌙✨
When people hear the name Jesus (peace be upon him), they often think only of Christianity. Yet, what many do not know is that Jesus—known as ʿĪsā ibn Maryam in Arabic—holds a deeply respected and beloved place in the faith of over 2 billion Muslims worldwide. 🌍
In Islam, Jesus is not seen as the son of God, but rather as one of the greatest messengers of Allah, a bringer of truth, and a symbol of purity and guidance. His life story, his miraculous birth, and his role in the end times carry profound meaning for Muslims. Let’s take a closer look.

A Prophet of God, Not a God 🙏
In Islam, Jesus is not seen as the son of God or part of a trinity. Instead, he is viewed as a noble prophet, chosen by Allah to guide people back to the truth of pure monotheism—worshiping one God alone.
The Qur’an emphasizes that Jesus was a servant of God, not divine himself:
“He (Jesus) said: Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.” (Qur’an 19:30)
Born of a Miraculous Birth 🌸👶
Muslims believe in the virgin birth of Jesus. Just like Christians, they honor Mary (Maryam in Arabic) as a woman of immense virtue and purity. In fact, Mary is so revered that an entire chapter of the Qur’an is named after her (Surah Maryam).
Jesus’ miraculous birth is seen as a sign of God’s power, showing that He can create without limitations—just as He created Adam without parents.

A Messenger of Mercy 🕊️
Jesus is considered a prophet and messenger who came to guide the Children of Israel back to the straight path. He preached love, compassion, and devotion to God alone. The Qur’an describes him as al-Masīḥ (the Messiah), a title of honor that reflects his special mission.
His Miracles by Allah’s Permission ✨
The Qur’an describes many of Jesus’ miracles, all by the permission of Allah:
- Healing the blind and the lepers 👁️
- Bringing the dead back to life 🌹
- Speaking as a baby in defense of his mother 👶
- Creating a bird from clay and giving it life 🕊️
These signs were never for self-glory but to point people toward the greatness of God.

A Messenger of Love and Truth 🌟❤️
Like all prophets, Jesus called people to worship only God and to live lives of kindness, humility, and justice. He taught compassion, forgiveness, and faith—values that resonate deeply with Muslims.
For Muslims, Jesus is not only respected but also loved, because his message was one of peace (Islam itself means “peace through submission to God”).
No Crucifixion, but a Divine Plan 🌌
A key difference between Islamic and Christian belief is the story of the crucifixion. Muslims believe Jesus was not crucified, but that it only appeared so. Instead, Allah raised him to the heavens, protecting him from harm. This shows that God’s plan is greater than the plots of men.

The Return of Jesus ⏳🌍
One of the most fascinating beliefs in Islam is that Jesus will return at the end of time. Muslims believe he will come back to restore justice, defeat oppression, and establish peace before the Day of Judgment. His return is a powerful symbol of hope and divine justice.
Why Muslims Love Jesus ❤️
For Muslims, to love Jesus is part of their faith. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“I am the closest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary.”
This shows that Islam does not reject Jesus but rather restores him to his rightful place—as a prophet, a servant of God, and a light of guidance.
