Question 3

How is Jesus understood in the Islamic tradition?

Accepted Answer

Jesus is considered a major prophet. The Qur'an presents Jesus as a miracle in himself. His virgin birth, his ability to heal the sick, feed the hungry, even raise the dead. For Muslims, particularly the mystics, Jesus is a world-renouncing ascetic, a wandering prophet of stern piety but deep compassion for the poor, suffering, and oppressed, whoever they might be. Although the Qur'an categorically denies that Jesus is the divine son of God, it sees his role as extending far beyond his earthly existence, insisting that he did not die, but was lifted up to heaven by God and will return at the end of time to kill the anti-Christ and establish true Islam on earth.
