The Koran (Al-Qur'an)

Jesus, who is known as Isa in the Qur’an, is portrayed as one of Islam’s most revered prophets. He holds a uniquely exalted position as a messenger of God. The Qur’an emphasizes his miraculous birth to Mary (Maryam), describing him as a “word” from God and a “spirit” created by divine command. The divine intervention in his conception symbolizes God’s limitless power and His will. According to the Qur’an, Jesus’s role as a prophet was to reaffirm the message of Monotheism: The Oneness of God, which was also stressed by earlier prophets, and to guide humanity toward worshiping the one God, aligning with the Qur’anic emphasis on submission to the divine will.

The Qur’an highlights Jesus’s miracles—such as healing the blind, raising the dead, and creating a bird from clay—all by God’s permission. By including these miracles, the Qur’an affirms Jesus’s prophetic status and God’s ability to work through His chosen messengers. While the Qur’an honors Jesus’s life and mission, it explicitly rejects the Christian doctrines of his divinity, sonship, and crucifixion. Instead, it describes Jesus as a mortal prophet and a servant of God who was raised to Heaven and will return at the end of times to restore justice and defeat the Antichrist (Dajjal).
