His miraculous birth
The Quran says angels gave Mary glad tidings of a son who would be a word from God, and his birth was a sign: God created him without a father, just as He created Adam without a father or mother. Mary holds a very high place in Islam, and a whole chapter of the Quran bears her name.
إِذۡ قَالَتِ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يَٰمَرۡيَمُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكِ بِكَلِمَةٖ مِّنۡهُ ٱسۡمُهُ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ وَجِيهٗا فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ وَيُكَلِّمُ ٱلنَّاسَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ وَكَهۡلٗا وَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ قَالَتۡ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي وَلَدٞ وَلَمۡ يَمۡسَسۡنِي بَشَرٞۖ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ ٱللَّهُ يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ当时，天使说：“麦尔彦啊！安拉的确把从他发出的一句话向你报喜。他的名字是麦尔彦之子麦西哈·尔撒，在今世和后世都是有面子的，是属亲近者的。 他在摇篮里在壮年时都要对人说话，他将来是一个善人。” 她说：“我的养主啊！任何人都没有和我接触过，我怎么会有儿子呢？”他说：“安拉要如此创造他所意欲的。当他判决一件事的时候，他只对那件事说声‘有’，它就有了。”
He spoke as an infant
When her people questioned Mary, she pointed to the baby, and Jesus spoke in the cradle, declaring that he is a servant of God:
فَأَشَارَتۡ إِلَيۡهِۖ قَالُواْ كَيۡفَ نُكَلِّمُ مَن كَانَ فِي ٱلۡمَهۡدِ صَبِيّٗا قَالَ إِنِّي عَبۡدُ ٱللَّهِ ءَاتَىٰنِيَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلَنِي نَبِيّٗا وَجَعَلَنِي مُبَارَكًا أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُ وَأَوۡصَٰنِي بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱلزَّكَوٰةِ مَا دُمۡتُ حَيّٗا وَبَرَّۢا بِوَٰلِدَتِي وَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡنِي جَبَّارٗا شَقِيّٗا وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَيَّ يَوۡمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوۡمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ أُبۡعَثُ حَيّٗا她就指一指那个婴儿，他们说：“我们怎能对摇篮里的婴儿说话呢？” 那婴儿说：“我确是安拉的仆人，他要把经典赏赐我，要使我做先知， 要使我无论在哪里都是有福的，并且嘱咐我，只要活着就要谨守拜功，完纳天课， 〔他使我〕孝敬我的母亲，他没有使我做霸道的、薄命的人。 我在出生日、死亡日、复活日，都享受和平。”
His miracles
The Quran lists miracles God granted Jesus, including healing the blind and the leper and giving life to the dead. Each time it stresses that this was “by God’s permission”: the miracle is God’s act, supporting His messenger, not a power Jesus held on his own.
وَرَسُولًا إِلَىٰ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ أَنِّي قَدۡ جِئۡتُكُم بِـَٔايَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ أَنِّيٓ أَخۡلُقُ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطِّينِ كَهَيۡـَٔةِ ٱلطَّيۡرِ فَأَنفُخُ فِيهِ فَيَكُونُ طَيۡرَۢا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُبۡرِئُ ٱلۡأَكۡمَهَ وَٱلۡأَبۡرَصَ وَأُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا تَأۡكُلُونَ وَمَا تَدَّخِرُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ并作为使者派遣给伊司拉仪的后裔。〔尔撒说：〕“我确已把你们的养主所降示的一种迹象，带来给你们了。我必定为你们用泥做一个像鸟样的东西，我吹口气在里面，它就奉安拉的命令而飞动。我奉安拉的命令，能医治天然盲、大麻疯，又能使死者复活，又能把你们所吃的和你们储藏在家里的食物告诉你们。对于你们，此中确有一种迹象，如果你们是归信的人。
Why Muslims do not believe he is God or the Son of God
The core Muslim belief is that God is One, with no partner and no offspring (tawhid). The Quran presents the Messiah as a human messenger who ate food and prayed to God, honoured but not divine:
مَّا ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ إِلَّا رَسُولٞ قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلِهِ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّهُۥ صِدِّيقَةٞۖ كَانَا يَأۡكُلَانِ ٱلطَّعَامَۗ ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱنظُرۡ أَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ麦尔彦之子麦西哈，只是一个使者，在他之前，有许多使者确已逝去了。他母亲是一个诚实的人。他们俩也是吃饭的。你看我怎样为他们阐明一切迹象，然后，你看他们是如何悖谬的。
The Quran addresses Christians with respect, calling them to a common word, without any insult to Jesus or Mary:
يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَقَّۚ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُۥٓ أَلۡقَىٰهَآ إِلَىٰ مَرۡيَمَ وَرُوحٞ مِّنۡهُۖ فَـَٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۖ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ ثَلَٰثَةٌۚ ٱنتَهُواْ خَيۡرٗا لَّكُمۡۚ إِنَّمَا ٱللَّهُ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُۥ وَلَدٞۘ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلٗا有经典的人们啊！你们对于自己的宗教不要过分，对于安拉不要说无理的话，麦西哈·尔撒——麦尔彦之子，只是安拉的使者，只是他授予麦尔彦的一句话，只是从他发出的鲁哈。故你们当确信安拉和他的众使者，你们不要说三位。你们当停止谬说，这对于你们是有益的。安拉是独一的受拜的，赞颂他〔安拉〕，超绝万物，他绝无子嗣，天地万物只是他的。安拉足为见证。
Was Jesus crucified in Islam?
The Quran says God raised him to Himself, and that they neither killed nor crucified him, but it was “made to appear so to them.” Most Muslims understand this to mean God saved Jesus and raised him up. Commentators differ on the details of how it appeared, but agree on the core: God saved and raised him.
وَقَوۡلِهِمۡ إِنَّا قَتَلۡنَا ٱلۡمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ لَفِي شَكّٖ مِّنۡهُۚ مَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍ إِلَّا ٱتِّبَاعَ ٱلظَّنِّۚ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينَۢا بَل رَّفَعَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيۡهِۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمٗا又因为他们说：“我们确已杀死麦尔彦之子麦西哈·尔撒。”——安拉的使者。他们没有杀死他，也没有把他钉死在十字架上，但他们只是被混淆了。为尔撒而争论的人，对于他的被杀害，确是在迷惑之中。他们对于这件事，毫无认识，不过根据猜想罢了。他们没能确实地杀死他。 不然，安拉已把他擢升到自己那里。安拉是万能的，是至睿的。
Jesus in the Prophet’s teaching
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ made belief in Jesus as a servant and messenger part of the faith that leads to Paradise, and he said he is closest to Jesus among people:
مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَأَنَّ عِيسَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِنْهُ، وَأَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ، وَأَنَّ النَّارَ حَقٌّ، أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِWhoever testifies that there is no god but God alone, without partner, that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, that Jesus is God’s servant and messenger, 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 to Paradise whatever his deeds.
أَنَا أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ، وَالْأَنْبِيَاءُ أَوْلَادُ عَلَّاتٍ، لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ نَبِيٌّI am the closest of people to Jesus son of Mary, and the prophets are paternal brothers; there is no prophet between him and me.
His return near the end of time
The two Sahih collections report that Jesus will return before the Last Hour as a just ruler, following the law of Muhammad ﷺ rather than bringing a new one:
وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَيُوشِكَنَّ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِيكُمُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ حَكَمًا عَدْلًاBy Him in whose hand is my soul, the son of Mary will soon descend among you as a just judge.
Where Islam and Christianity meet and part
- They agree on his miraculous birth from the Virgin Mary, on his miracles, and on his exalted status.
- They differ on his divinity and sonship, and on crucifixion and atonement: Islam holds that God is One and each person is accountable for their own deeds.
- Respect is required: a Muslim’s faith is not complete without believing in Jesus and all the prophets without distinction.
