Who Was Jesus – peace be upon him

Islam honors all the prophets who were sent to mankind. Muslims respect all prophets in general, but Jesus in particular, because he was one of the prophets who foretold the coming of Muhammad. Muslims, too, await the second coming of Jesus. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah’s prophets to mankind. A Muslim does not refer to him simply as “Jesus,” but normally adds the phrase “peace be upon him” as a sign of respect.

No other religion in the world respects and dignifies Jesus as Islam does. The Quran confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Quran is entitled “Mary”), and Mary is considered to have been one of the purest women in all creation. The Quran describes Jesus’ birth as follows:

“Behold!’ the Angel said, God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and he shall be of the righteous. She said: “My Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?’ He said: “Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, ‘Be!’ and it is.” [3:42-47]

Muslims believe that Jesus was born immaculately, and through the same power which had brought Eve to life and Adam into being without a father or a mother.




Muhammad and Jesus, as well as the other prophets, were sent to confirm the belief in one God. This is referred to in the Quran where Jesus is reported as saying that he came:

“To attest the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me.” [3:50]

Prophet Muhammad emphasized the importance of Jesus by saying: “Whoever believes there is no god but Allah, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is a servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven. [Bukhari]



Why a Jew can grow his beard in order
to practice his faith ?
But when Muslim does the same, he is
an extremist and terrorist!

Why a nun can be covered from head to
toe in order to devote herself to God?
But when Muslimah does the same she’s

When a western women stays at home to

When a child dedicates himself to a
subject he has potential..

he is hopeless!

When a Christian or a Jew kills
someone religion is not mentioned,
but when Muslim is charged with a
crime, it is Islam that goes to trial!

When someone sacrfices himself to keep
others alive, he is noble and all
respect him.
But when a Palestinian does that to
save his son from being killed, his
brother’s arm being broken, his mother
being raped, his home being destroyed,
and his mosque being violated — He
gets the title of a terrorist! Why?

Because he is a Muslim????

If the solution lies in Islam, we

When someone drives a perfect car in a
bad way no one blames the car .
But when any Muslim makes a mistake or
treats people in a bad manner – people
say “Islam is the reason”!

Without looking to the tradition of
Islam, people believe what the
newspapers say.
But question what the Quran says!
“A meaningful life is not a matter of
speed or efficiency, it’s much more a
matter of wat u do and why u do it,
not how fast u get it done.”
