Islamic History
Jesus Christ: A Prophet of Islam
In the Qur'an, stories about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ (pbuh) called Isa in Arabic are abundant. The Qur'an recalls his miraculous birth, his teachings, the miracles he performed by God's permission, and his life as a respected prophet of God. In Surah Al-Imran the Qur'an says: "Behold! the angels said, 'Oh Mary! God gives you 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 in (the company of) those nearest to God. He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. He shall be of the righteous...And God will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel'" (Al-Quran 3:45-48) Presented by Ustad Dr Kemal Helbawy
