The Role of Jesus in Islam
For Muslims, Jesus (’Isa) is a revered prophet.
They accept that Jesus was born of a virgin, Mary (Maryam).
They believe that Jesus was an important prophet, but not the Son of God.
The Qur’an says the Gospels are a source of guidance and light.
However, Muslims believe that the Gospels were not transmitted correctly.
Muslims believe Jesus was not crucified, but replaced on the cross by another person and taken to heaven to live.
They expect Jesus to return on the Day of Judgment and defeat the enemies of Islam.
He will die after establishing the Kingdom of God on Earth and be buried in Medina beside Muhammad.
