Like Judaism, Islam holds that sin is an act and not a state of being and therefore it does not admit the idea of an Original Sin inherited to the descendants of Adam, so the Islamic meaning of Messiah is different than the Christian view of a 'Redeemer'. Islam does not accept any human sacrifice for sin. The Islamic understanding of forgiveness is that it is made on the basis of divine grace and repentance. According to Islam, no sacrifice can add to divine grace nor replace the necessity of repentance. Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people with around 15 million followers as of 2006 [1].

The Qur'an rejects the belief that being a Jew or Christian is a requirement for achieving salvation arguing that neither Abraham nor Isma'il nor Isaac nor Jacob nor the Tribes were Jews or Christians (Qur'an 2:140). Instead the Qur'an states that salvation hinges upon the legacy of Abraham and Jacob, which was worshiping and bowing to the one True God and not joining other gods with him. (Qur'an 2:130-141). Good deeds go hand in hand with faith and the Qur'an teaches the necessity of both faith and good works for salvation. Also, Muslims believe that it is not merely one's good deeds that will put him in paradise but God's bestowing pardon and mercy. ^[1] For other uses, see Salvation (disambiguation). ...

Muslims believe that God revealed to Jesus a Gospel (Arabic "Injeel"), which is understood to be a book of revelation comparable to the Qur'an, but hold that that some parts of it have been misinterpreted, misrepresented, passed over, or textually distorted over time so that the New Testament no longer accurately represents God's original message to Jesus for mankind (See Tahrif).

Basic Muslim beliefs regarding Jesus

• Jesus was one of God's highest ranked and most beloved prophets. He was sent specifically to guide the Children of Israel.
• He was neither God nor the Son of God, but rather a human messenger, one of many messengers sent over history to guide mankind. Jesus' message to mankind was originally the same as that of all the other prophets, from Adam to Muhammad, but has been distorted by those who claim to be its adherents.
• Jesus was born miraculously without a human biological father by the will of God. His mother, Mary ("Maryam" in Arabic), is among the most saintly, pious, chaste, and virtuous women ever.
• Jesus was able to perform miracles, but only by the will of God. Besides his miraculous birth, his first miracle was when, although only a few days old, he spoke and defended his mother against accusations of adultery. The Qur'an mentions, among other miracles, that he raised the dead, restored sight to the blind, and cured leprosy.
• Jesus renounced all worldly possessions and lived a life of strict nonviolence.
• Jesus received a Gospel (Arabic Injeel) from God corresponding to the New Testament. However, Muslims hold that the New Testament Christians have today has been changed and does not accurately represent the original. Some Muslims accept the Gospel of Barnabas (part of the New Testament apocrypha) as the most accurate testament of Jesus. The authenticity and date of this text is disputed in Islamic, Christian and secular academic circles.
• Jesus was neither killed nor crucified; but God made it appear so to his enemies. It is believed that one of those who was pursuing Jesus to crucify him was transformed to look like him, at which point Jesus was transported to heaven, and the man made to look like Jesus was crucified. Some Muslim scholars (notably Ahmad Deedat) maintain that Jesus was indeed put up on the cross, but did not die on it, but was revived and then ascended bodily to heaven, while others say that it was actually Judas who was mistakenly crucified by the Romans.
• Jesus is alive in heaven, and will one day return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist and act as a catalyst in the chain of events which lead to the day of judgement.

Etymology

The name Jesus is derived from the Latin Iēsus, which in turn comes from the Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs). The Greek is a Hellenized form of the Aramaic name Yēšua (ישוע), a short form of Hebrew Y^ehōšua (יהושע). Isa is also a given name for Arab Muslim men, equivalent to Jesus (a name given in many Christian cultures for male children). Y^ehōšua (יהושע) is the name by which Moses called his successor as leader of the Israelites, known in English as Joshua; it means 'the Lord is salvation', or literally 'Yahweh saves'. Some claim the Arabic name Isa is related to the biblical Esau, but it is also similar in the vowels to the Aramaic version of Jesus, viz. Eesho (Aramaic forms of the name, however, still have the voiced pharyngeal `Ayn consonant at the end of the name). Arabic-speaking Christians refer to Jesus as Isa or Yasu`a, which is the same name as Joshua. Persian-speaking Christians refer to Jesus as Isa.

Jesus's birth

Muslims believe in the virgin birth of Jesus through Mary, which is recounted throughout several passages in the Qur'an. In the Qur'anic story an angel appears before Mary to announce her the gift of a holy son. Mary is surprised and answers the angel that she is virgin. The angel replies "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us':It is a matter (so) decreed...when He determines a matter, He only says to it, 'Be', and it is." (19:21, 19:35) The Qur'an rejects the idea that virgin birth implies that Jesus is divine.

Other relevant verses from the Qur'an:

"The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was." 3:59

"And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples." 21:91

"Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah; " 3:45

Jesus as a prophet

Muslims see Jesus as a human prophet, not as God or his son. Relevant verses from the Qur'an include:

• "He [Jesus] said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live; (He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable; So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"! Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is." 19:30-35

• "When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: "Now have I come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which ye dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey me. "For Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord: so worship ye Him: this is a Straight Way." But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement: then woe to the wrong-doers, from the Penalty of a Grievous Day!" 43:63-65

• "Christ the son of Mary was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!" 5:75

• "And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things." 5:116-117

Jesus and the Holy Spirit

Jesus performed his ministry with power of the Holy Spirit (2:253 en 5:110), by whom he could for example heal people born blind.

• Those apostles We endowed with gifts, some above others: To one of them God spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to Jesus the son of Mary We gave clear (Signs), and strengthened him with the holy spirit. 2:253

• Then will God say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.' 5:110

Jesus neither God nor the Son of God

Muslims do not believe Jesus is God, nor that he was the Son of God, but only human. In this view they differ from mainstream Christians, who believe Jesus is both human and God.

Muslim theologians point out the figurative usage of the title "son of God" among Jews; for example the Bible refers to earlier (non-divine) figures such as David (Psalm 2:7) or Israel personalized (Exodus 4:22-23, Deuteronomy 14:1, Hosea 11:1-2 etc.) as "son of God." According to Christian theologians the title of "son of God," in Psalm 2:7 for example, does not refer to David because David died and the next verses in this Psalm mention that every nation will belong and shall give honour to the person with the title "son of God". Son of God is a biblical phrase from the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), and the New Testament. ... David and Goliath by Caravaggio, c. ...

The Qur'an states that although Jesus was born miraculously without a human biological father, this does not imply that he is the Son of God by nature; when God wills something, he says to it, "Be!" and it is. Islam distinguishes the status of creatures from the creator and holds that it is not befitting to the majesty of God that He should beget a son:

"O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs." (4:171)

"The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was." (3:59)

Jesus neither crucified nor killed

The Qur'an differs from the Gospels in stating that Jesus was neither crucified nor killed:

"That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:- Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;-" (4:157-158)

The Ahmadiyya Community hold an entirely different view: that Jesus was crucified, but survived and subsequently migrated to Kashmir, where he took the name Yuz Asaf. Mainstream Muslims consider these views heretical. Matthew 28:12-15 provides the reasoning behind such beliefs: Ahmadi Muslims are followers of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. ... Yuz Asaf or Yus Asaph is believed, by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Movement and others, to be the name adopted by Jesus after he supposedly survived the crucifixion and subsequently migrated to Kashmir. ...

"When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan,they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them,"You are to say,'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.' If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day."

The Qur'anic passage above, together with the quotes attributed to Muhammad, is understood by most Muslims to mean that Jesus was not killed or crucified, but instead was raised into Heaven and remains there awaiting the time appointed by God to descend back to earth and live out his natural life. A minority interpretation of the verse holds similarly that Jesus was not executed by his enemies, but only appeared to be so, and that he was subsequently "raised" (in status and honor) by God. In this minority interpretation, no ascent to Heaven by Jesus is described in the Qur'an (see above). This position is similar to docetic Christology, and, again, to that of the Ahmadi. Heaven is an afterlife concept found in many religions or spiritual philosophies. ... Heaven is an afterlife concept found in many religions or spiritual philosophies. ... In Christianity, Docetism is the belief, regarded by most theologians as heretical, that Jesus did not have a physical body; rather, that his body was an illusion, as was his crucifixion. ... Christology is that part of Christian theology that studies and defines who Jesus the Christ was and is. ...

Some Muslim scholars, notably Ahmad Deedat, share the Ahmadiya view that Jesus was hung on the cross but survived it (swoon theory) but then ascended bodily to heaven, while others say that it was actually Judas who was mistakenly crucified by the Romans. Thomas McElwain states that the context of the verse is clearly within the discussion of Jewish ridicule of Christians, not in context of whether or not Jesus died. He continues that the text could be interpreted as denying the death of Jesus at the hands of Jews rather than denying his death. He however adds that "the expressions against the crucifixion are strong, so that to interpret the meaning for Romans rather than Jews to have committed the act is also suspect" and that if this meaning is correct, "it would have been more effective to state that the Romans killed Jesus, rather than to empha­sise that the Jews were not in possession of the facts." Image:Deedat. ... Thomas McElwain is a Shia Twelver Muslim Islamic scholar, former Christian, that specializes in Islamic Christianity studies. ...

Jesus to return

Most Muslims believe that Jesus is alive in Heaven, and will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. ad-Dajjal (Arabic: دجّال) (The Deceiver) is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology, who will appear before Yaum al-Qiyamah (Day of the Resurrection). ...

A hadith in Abu Dawud (Sunnan Abu Dawud 37:4310 ) says: Hadith (Arabic: hadīth, Arabic pl. ... Abu Daud, full name Abu Daud Sulayman ibn Ash`ath al-Azadi al-Sijistani, was a noted collector of hadith (sayings of Muhammad), and wrote the third of the six canonical hadith collections recognized by Sunni Muslims, Sunan Abi Daud. ...

"Narrated Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace be upon him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him."

After Jesus slays al-Masīh al-Dajjāl (literally "the Deceiving Messiah," loosely the Antichrist; often referred to simply as "Dajjāl") at the Gate of Ludd in Palestine, Muslims believe he will marry, die, and be buried in the Masjid al Nabawi. During his life, he will have revealed that Islam is the true word of God. `Abdul-Rahman bin Sakhr Al-Azdi [AKA Abu Hurairah, Abu Hurayrah or even Abu Horaira. ... ad-Dajjal (Arabic: دجّال) (The Deceiver) is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology, who will appear before Yaum al-Qiyamah (Day of the Resurrection). ...

"How will you be when the son of Mary descends amongst you and he will judge people by the Law of the Qur'an and not by the law of the Gospel."

A very few Islamic scholars reject all the quotes attributed to Muhammad (Hadith) that mention the second return of Jesus, the Dajjal and Imam Mahdi, believing that they have no Qur'anic basis. These scholars believe that the verb “mutavafika” in verse 3:55 implies that God caused the bodily death of Jesus, thus (3:55) should read as “O Jesus, I terminate your life, raise you to Me.” Others disagree with the implication of termination of Jesus’ life (for example Yusuf Ali’s translation reads: “O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself”). Verses 4:157-158 imply that Jesus was not killed; Verse 19:33 implies that Jesus will die someday. The majority of Muslims believe that the bodily death of Jesus will happen after his second coming. Many classical commentators such as Ibn Kathir, At-Tabari, al-Qurtubi, Suyuti, al-Undlusi (Bahr al-Muhit), Abu al-Fadl al-Alusi (Ruh al-Maani) and many others clearly mention that verse 43:61 of the Qur'an refers to the descent of Jesus before the Day of Resurrection, indicating that Jesus would be the Sign that the Hour is close. Hadith (Arabic: hadÄ«th, Arabic pl. ... Muhammad al-Mahdi (868 - ?) is the twelfth and final Imam of the Shia. ...

"And (Jeusu) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour)..." (43:61)

The scholars that reject the second coming of Jesus argue that the knowledge of the Hour is only with God, and that the Hour will come suddenly. They maintain that if the second coming of Jesus were true, whenever it happens, billions of people would then be certain the Hour is about to come.

Another relevant verse from the Qur'an:

"And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death" (4:159)

As an example of a Qur'anic verse that is considered to refer to the end time events:

"Before this We wrote in the Psalms, after the Message (given to Moses): My servants the righteous, shall inherit the earth." (21:105)

"Narrated Abdullah: The Prophet mentioned...While sleeping near the Ka'ba last night, I saw in my dream a man of brown color the best one can see amongst brown color and his hair was long that it fell between his shoulders. His hair was lank and water was dribbling from his head and he was placing his hands on the shoulders of two men while circumambulating the Kaba. I asked, 'Who is this?' They replied, 'This is Jesus, son of Mary.'" (Bukhari 4:55:649)

"Narrated Salim from his father: No, By Allah, the Prophet did not tell that Jesus was of red complexion but said, "While I was asleep circumambulating the Ka'ba (in my dream), suddenly I saw a man of brown complexion and lank hair walking between two men, and water was dropping from his head. I asked, 'Who is this?' The people said, 'He is the son of Mary.'" (Bukhari 4:55:650)

"Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "On the night of my Ascension to Heaven...I saw Jesus who was of average height with red face as if he had just come out of a bathroom." (Bukhari 4:55:607)

Jesus' miracles

The Qur'an states that Jesus performed miracles including:

• Speaking during infancy:

"At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought! "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!" But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?" He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; (19:27-30)

• Making live birds out of clay, curing blindness and leprosy, and raising the dead:

"And (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, (with this message): 'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe..." (3:49)
