Muslims' Love for Jesus (Isa in Arabic)

Acknowledgment in the Quran

Muslims hold Jesus (peace be upon him) in very high regard. In Islam, Jesus is known as Isa and is considered one of the greatest prophets. The Quran mentions Jesus numerous times and speaks highly of him. For instance, in Surah Al-Imran (3:45), it states:

"[And mention] when the angels said, 'O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah].'"

Miraculous Birth and Life

Muslims believe in the miraculous birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary (Maryam in Arabic), who is also highly revered in Islam. The Quran describes this miraculous event in Surah Maryam (19:16-21). Jesus performed many miracles by the will of Allah, such as healing the sick and raising the dead.

Respect and Love

  • Prophet and Messenger: Jesus is considered a prophet and messenger of God, sent to guide the Children of Israel with a new scripture, the Injil (Gospel).
  • Second Coming: Muslims also believe in the second coming of Jesus. He will return before the Day of Judgment to restore justice and defeat the false messiah (Antichrist).

Comparison with Christianity

While Christians view Jesus as the Son of God and part of the Holy Trinity, Muslims see him as a revered prophet and servant of Allah. This difference in belief does not diminish the respect and love Muslims have for Jesus. In fact, the Quran emphasizes the importance of believing in all prophets, including Jesus, as a part of one's faith (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:285).

Common Ground

Both Muslims and Christians share a deep respect and love for Jesus, albeit with different theological understandings. This common ground can serve as a bridge for interfaith dialogue and mutual respect.

Conclusion

In summary, Muslims do love and respect Jesus deeply. He is a significant figure in Islam, and his teachings and life are honored and revered. Understanding this can help foster better relationships and mutual respect between Muslims and Christians.
