THE STATUS OF JESUS IN ISLAM

God has related to us (in the Qur’an) the best and most marvelous of stories concerning Jesus and his mother, from the beginning of their ordeal and then going through the various stages of their lives, while clarifying each stage in depth. So those who believe and follow Muhammad affirm all of this, give Jesus and his mother the status they deserve, and welcome them with the highest level of honor.

In the same manner, they welcome all of the other prophets and messengers and believe in them. In fact, Islam has made believing in them one of the major pillars of Faith and affirmed that whoever belittles any of the prophets in any manner has committed disbelief and left from the fold of Islam.

So what about those who deny all of them or even one from among them?!

God has praised Jesus and his mother, the Virgin Mary, in many chapters of the Qur’an. We will mention examples from some of these chapters. It is stated in Chapter 3 of the noble Qur’an:

“Allah indeed chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of ‘lmran over mankind (i.e. the people of their time). Offspring, one of the other, and Allah is All­ Hearing, All-Knowing. (Remember) when the wife of ‘lmransaid: ‘O my Lordi I have vowed to You that the child in my womb will be dedicated to Your services, so accept this from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.’

Then when she gave birth to her daughter (Mary), she said: ‘O my Lord! I have given birth to a female child’ – whereas Allah knew better what she delivered – ‘And the male is not like the female. I have named her Mary and I seek refuge in You for her and her offspring from the outcast Devil.’ So her Lord accepted her (supplication) with a good acceptance, and caused her (Mary) to grow up in a good manner and put her under the care of Zachariah.

Every time he would enter her room to visit her, he would find that she had (already) received sustenance. He said: ‘O Mary! From where did you get this?’ She said: ‘This is from Allah.’ Verily, Allah provides to whom He wills without limit. At that time Zachariah invoked his Lord saying: ‘Grant me from You a good offspring. You indeed are the All-Hearer of Invocations.'” [Qur’an 3:33-38]

The story of Mary begins by showing this great bond, where God first mentions those whom He chose over mankind, which included the family of ‘lmran, who were the parents of Mary. This was done in order to make it clear that Mary came from a righteous and noble family and that she was part of the offspring of chosen prop he ts. It was also done to show that her mother was a pious woman.

As an example of her piety and righteousness, she vowed to offer the child in her womb to the services of God since she was hoping it would be a boy. However, when she gave birth to a girl, she referred the matter back to God and sought His pardon and asked Him to protect her daughter and her daughter’s offspring from the outcast Devil.

So her Lord answered her supplication and accepted Mary, enabling her to be raised in a good manner by placing a righteous and merciful prophet, Zachariah, in charge of caring for her. This shows that the mother of Jesus had a remarkable upbringing.

Thereafter God continued to provide to her from His Bounty and Generosity, as He informs us in His saying:

 “And (remember) when the angels said: ‘O Mary, verily, Allah has selected you, purified you, and chosen you above all of the other women amongst mankind. 0 Mary! Submit yourself in obedience to your Lord and prostrate and bow (in prayer) along with those who bow.’ This is part of the news of the Unseen that We reveal to you (0 Muhammad). You were not with them when they cast lots with their pens to determine which of them should be entrusted with the care of Mary, nor were you with them when they disputed.” [Qur’an 3:42-44]

So neither Muhammad, the unlettered prophet, 4 nor his followers were aware of this amazing and accurate news about the messengers, Mary, her mother, Zachariah and
