What do Muslims believe about Jesus?

 

 

Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him) , and await
his second coming. They consider him one of the greatest of God’s messengers to
mankind....

A Muslim never refers to him simply as `Jesus', but always adds the phrase
"peace be upon him." The Qur’aan confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of
the Qur’aan is entitled `Mary') in her time, and Mary is considered the purest woman
in all creation. The Qur’aan describes the creation of Jesus as follows
(interpretation of the meaning):

"Behold! the Angel said, `God has
chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, God
gives you glad tidings of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of
Mary, honored in this world and the Hereafter, and one that shall speak to the people from
his cradle and in maturity, and shall be of the righteous.' She said: `O my Lord! How
shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: `Even so; God creates what He
wills. When He decrees a thing, He but says to it, "Be!" and it is."
[Quran 3:42-7]



Jesus (peace be upon him) was born miraculously through the same power which had brought
Adam (peace be upon him) into being without a father:

"Truly, the likeness of Jesus unto Allaah is as the likeness of
Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, `Be!' and he was." [ Quran
3:59 ]



During his prophetic mission, Jesus (peace be upon him) was granted and performed many
miracles. The Qur’aan tells us that he said (interpretation of meaning):

"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you
out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a
bird by Allaah’s leave. And I heal the blind and the lepers, and I raise the dead by
Allaah’s leave." [Quran 3:49]



Other miracles include speaking soon after birth in defense of his mother's piety. God's
other gifts to him included healing the blind and the sick, reviving the dead, and, most
importantly, the message he was carrying. These miracles were granted to him by God to
establish him as a prophet. According to the Qur’aan, he was not crucified, but only
appeared so; instead, Allaah raised him unto Heaven. (Quraan, Chapter Maryam)

Neither Muhammad (peace be upon him), nor Jesus (peace be upon him), came to change the
basic doctrine of the belief in one God, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and
renew it. In the Quran Jesus (peace be upon him), is reported as saying that he came:



" To attest the law which was before me. And to make lawful to
you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign form your Lord, so fear
God and obey me." [Quran  3:50]

Doing Quran recitation is the religious duty of every Muslim.  In saheed Sunnah, it is encouraged to do the recitation of Quran in a melodious voice by the holy Quran reciter by making the voice more melodious and interesting. Reading quran and Making it melodious does not mean that it should be made more in singing tone but once should at least recite and read quranic Arabic in a good tone so that he/she himself feels good while listening to it and others also feel good while listening to it.
