Jesus According to Quran


Jesus (AS) is held highly in honor both in this world and hereafter by all Muslims, Christians and Jews. There is no clear indication of the year of birth of Jesus (AS) in Christian gospels. The true religion brought by him also exists today but in name only. His followers have forgotten the teachings of true Christianity. The same is the case with book revealed on Jesus (AS) which was altered and tempered through the passage of time for worldly gains.
As we can not get any authentic information about Jesus (AS) from Christian scripts, the only authentic source of knowledge about Jesus (AS) is Quran. Allah Almighty promised Quran to be uncorrupted till Day of Judgment. Quran gives true information about the birth, life, encounters of Jesus (AS) with other people and many other topics about him. Quran also give details about the effort by Jesus (AS) to invite people to true faith. As he said to people,
“I come confirming the Torah I find already there, and to make lawful for you some of what was previously forbidden to you. I have brought you a Sign from your Lord. So heed God and obey me. God is my Lord and your Lord so worship Him. That is a straight path. (Quran 3:50-51)”
Only a limited number of people answered his call and became his followers. Jesus (AS) performed great miracles to invite people to Allah and always said that these miracles are by will of Allah Almighty. Despite obstacles the number of his followers rose slowly and preached faith in all over land. He preached oneness of Allah like all prophets. His opponents, the disbelievers, on the other hand plotted against him. After continues schemes of harming Jesus (AS) by his opponents, Allah Almighty recalled Jesus (AS) to Himself only to send him back to restore peace and rule of Allah Almighty on earth before Day of Judgment.
