What Muslims think of Isa (Jesus)?

Muslims consider Isa (Jesus) as one of Islamic prophets and even though they do not consider Bible the word of God they love Isa and truly believe in the authenticity of what Isa preached (Injeel) Had that been with us today, Muslims would have no problem accepting it. Rejecting Isa�s message is tantamount to rejecting Allah as it is one of the articles of faith in Islam to believe in all the books of Allah. Isa was a prophet of Allah and a Christian will never catch a Muslim saying anything but good about Isa So if you love Isa (Jesus) you will love those who love him � Muslims.

Isa is described in Holy Qur�an as Isa Ibn Mariam (Jesus son of Mary). His name is repeated in the Qur�an many times. There is a Surah (Chapter of the Quran) titled Mariam (Mary), and in this Surah and throughout the whole Qur�an you will find a summary of who the historical Isa Ibn Mariam really was and what he, stood for.

Here is what Muslims believe of Isa (as):

1. He is NOT the begotten son of God - This is an outrageous lie and a heinous  blasphemy) A lie will always be a lie; no matter how many times it is recycled it will always remain a lie.
2. He did NOT claim divinity for himself, those who allege that are simply putting words into Isa�s mouth, and they�ve no basis for their claims.
3. He did not die for anyone�s sins. Everyone is responsible for their own deeds. 
4. His mother was not divine.
5. He spoke while still in the cradle in defense of his mother and testified to his prophet-hood.
6. He performed miracles, so did many prophets before him.
7. His birth was of miraculous nature, being born only of one parent, he was human every inch of him. He ate food, went for the call of nature, walked the streets, suffered people�s ignorance, prayed to his Lord and went about his business of calling to Allah the hardhearted Jews of his time. He was NOT sent to the non-Jews
8. He spoke the language of his people, and did not speak Greek.

Kindly note on the use of the words; creation and production are two different processes. Isn't it? What does you logic say about it? Allegorically, 'childern of God' is different than once it is used in literal sense in 'begotton childern'. Any wise guy can find the difference but what about the others? Cheers!

I would ask dear Bharatiya

Why are you an ordinary citizen and why not the prime minister of India? After all you were also created by Allah and as well as  Mr Manmohan Singh?

So its Allah's will whether to choose Jeses or Moses or Muhammad (Peace be on all of them). So they will be asked as to did they delivered the message in clear terms and told us how to act. We will be asked as to why we didn't obeyed even after recieving the clear instrustions?

So all can't be selected as Prophets or rulers etc. Where lies the test then? Can be there all students in the class with no teacher or all be the teachers with no students at all?? Similarly you have one hero in your movies why can't the director give the status of hero to all the actors or side actors??
