Who is Prophet Isa In Islam?
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Prophet Jesus (AS) is one of the prophets who Allah mentioned in the noble Quran, as believers can learn from the wisdom of his story. Allah referred to him 25 times in the Quran. Prophet Isa (AS) was the last prophet of the children of Israel.What Did Prophet Muhammad Say About Prophet Isa?
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
It’s noteworthy that prophet Isa (AS) informed his followers that prophet Muhammed (PBUH) would come after him. In the Quran, he mentioned the name of the final messenger (PBUH) as Ahmad:“And ˹remember˺ when Jesus, son of Mary, said, “O children of Israel! I am truly Allah’s messenger to you, confirming the Torah which came before me, and giving the good news of a messenger after me whose name will be Aḥmad.”1 Yet when the Prophet came to them with clear proofs, they said, “This is pure magic.”
📖 Surah Al-Saf, verse 6.Prophet Isa (Jesus) Birth Story in The Quran
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
In the noble Quran, Allah mentioned the story of the prophet Jesus (AS) from the beginning. His birth was a miracle, as Allah sent the Angel to inform Isa’s mother (Lady Mary) that she would have a son, a gift from Allah.
Maryam asked how she would have a son without a husband. The Angel told her that Allah could do anything as it was easy for him to create a human without a father. Allah wanted to create Isa (AS) as a sign for humanity:“He replied, “So will it be! Your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me. And so will We make him a sign for humanity and a mercy from Us.’ It is a matter ˹already˺ decreed.”
📖(19:21) Surah MaryamAfter some months, she gave birth to her son and returned to her people who were shocked by the newborn baby she held in her arms.
They thought that she had committed a terrible sin. They scolded her, but she didn’t reply and pointed to her child.
They asked her how a newborn child could speak, but the miracle happened when her child spoke, as he said that he is Allah’s servant, who had given the book and made a prophet, and Allah blessed him and bid him to establish prayer and almsgiving.
What does the Quran say about Jesus christ’s crucifixion?
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
According to the Quran, unlike the Bible, the Jewish people didn’t crucify the prophet Jesus (AS). While prophet Jesus (AS) continued teaching his people and spreading Allah’s message, Jews realized that his existence was an obstacle in their way.There were many accusations against him. He was accused of magic, loyalty to the devil, and violation of the Mosaic law.
The Jewish priests met to set up a plan of capturing and killing the prophet Jesus (AS).
Allah mentioned in surah Al-Ma’ida that there was another one that accepted to sacrifice for Isa (AS), as Allah made this person look like him, so Jews thought he was prophet Isa (AS).
And for [Jewish] boasting,
“We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” But they neither killed nor crucified him—it was only made to appear so. Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever—only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him.
📖 Suran al-Ma’idah (4:157)According to Ibn Abbas’report (may Allah be pleased with him), when prophet Isa knew the Jews’ plan to kill him, he asked his companions: “Which of you will be made to look like me and be killed in my stead, and he will be with me in the same level as me (in Paradise)?”
There was a young man who was ready for sacrifice, but prophet Isa repeated his question and found the same young man answered, then Allah made this person look like Jesus (AS).How Did Prophet Isa die in Islam?
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Allah saved prophet Isa (AS) from crucifying and killing. But the prophet didn’t die in Islam, according to Surah Al-Imran in the Quran as Allah raised him to Heaven.˹Remember˺ when Allah said, “O Jesus! I will take you1 and raise you up to Myself. I will deliver you from those who disbelieve and elevate your followers above the disbelievers until the Day of Judgment. Then to Me, you will ˹all˺ return, and I will settle all your disputes.
📖 Surah al-Imran (3:55).Prophet Isa’s story is the only one that didn’t end, as Allah kept him in heaven until his second coming at the end of time before Judgement Day. The descent of prophet Isa (AS) is one of the last hour’s signs.
Prophet Isa’s return signs
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
According to Islam, Prophet Isa’s second coming will be after the descent of the Anti-Christ (Messiah Dajjal). He will chase Antichrist to kill him,
as the messenger of Allah said (PBUH):”
He [Jesus Christ] would chase him [the Dajjal] and kill him. Then people will live for seven years where there will be no rancour between two persons.”
📚 (Sahih Al-Muslim)Moreover, he will have several missions such as killing pigs, breaking the cross, and abolishing the jizyah tax, as he will rule Muslims with justice.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:” The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary [Jesus] descends among you as a just ruler. He will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the jizyah tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts)’
📚 (Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
