Known in Arabic as Isa ibn Maryam (Isa, son of Mary), Jesus holds one of the highest ranks among the prophets of Islam. This site presents his story exactly as it is described in the Qur'an and authentic Hadith — his miraculous birth, his message, his miracles, and Islamic teaching on his final return.
Muslims revere Jesus as one of the greatest prophets and messengers sent by God (Allah). He is mentioned by name 25 times in the Qur'an — more often than the Prophet Muhammad ﷲ is mentioned by name — and an entire chapter, Surah Maryam (Chapter 19), is named after his mother. Belief in Jesus as a true prophet of God is an article of faith in Islam; a person cannot be a Muslim without believing in him.
