The Figure Of Jesus In Islam-Jesus in Light Of Islam

FIGURE OF JESUS IN ISLAM

 Introduction:

Jesus, or Isa in Arabic, is a significant figure in both Christianity and Islam. Muslims agree that Jesus is the prophet and messenger of God, while Christians agree that Jesus is God's child. Jesus is worshipped as perhaps God's most prominent courier in Islam. This essay will discuss Jesus as a figure in Islam, his teachings, and his place in Islamic eschatology.

Jesus says in the Quran:

Jesus is mentioned numerous times in the Quran, Islam's holy book, and is regarded as possibly the greatest prophet in Islamic custom. In fact, Jesus is mentioned more than the Prophet Muhammad in the Quran. According to the Quran, Jesus was a prophet, a God-sent messenger, and a performer of miracles. The miraculous intervention of God that enabled Jesus to be born of the Virgin Mary without a father is also emphasized in the Quran.

In Islamic culture, Jesus is regarded as a human being rather than a divine being. The Quran makes it abundantly clear that Jesus was not a child of God, so he was not put to death. But the Quran says that Jesus died on the cross and was raised to heaven by God. Along these lines, Muslims' and Christians' points of view on Jesus are on a very basic level unique.

Islam's take on the teachings of Jesus:

In Islam, Jesus is regarded as a teacher who spread the same message as Muhammad, Abraham, Moses, and Muhammad before him. His message was one of monotheism, compassion, and social justice. The teachings of Jesus in Islam emphasize the significance of cultivating a personal relationship with God and treating others with compassion and kindness.

Tawhid, or God's unity, is one of Jesus' most important lessons for Islam. Jesus taught that there is only one God and that humans should worship him. The declaration of confidence, or Shahada, which states that "there is no God other than Allah, and Muhammad is His courier," reflects this fundamental Islamic belief.

Jesus also taught Muslims important lessons about compassion and social justice. Jesus said that people should be kind to one another and try to help those who don't have as much as they do. Zakat, or charitable giving, is one of Islam's Five Pillars and reflects this concept.

Jesus's Wonders in Islam:

In Islamic custom, Jesus is regarded as an expert on heavenly events, and the Quran examines his wonders. Jesus performed numerous miracles, including reviving the dead, supplying the hungry, and treating the ill. His prophetic abilities and closeness to God were deemed evidence of these supernatural occurrences.

In Islam, Jesus' assistance to the blind and lepers is one of his most well-known miracles. Jesus was able to save these people thanks to the power of God, according to the Quran. Numerous people were convinced that Jesus' message was substantial by this wonder, which was seen as proof of his prophetic limits.

Another well-known miracle that Jesus performed was feeding 5,000 Muslims. According to the Quran, Jesus only required a small quantity of fish and bread to feed a large number of people. This wonder is still up in the air to display Jesus' compassion and holiness.

Importance of Jesus in Islamic eschatology:

According to Islamic eschatology, Jesus will come back to Earth before the end of time. Islamic tradition holds that Jesus will triumph over the Antichrist, also known as Dajjal. The Antichrist is thought to be a symbol of evil and perversion. After that, Jesus will rule the world legally and establish a society that is peaceful and just.
