Muslims believe that Jesus (peace be upon him) is one of the greatest prophets and one of the greatest messengers of God to mankind.

Muslims, per Islam teachings and God sayings in Quran, believe that Jesus is neither God nor son of God as some Christians believe. Muslims don't believe in neither Jesus divinity nor in the Trinity.

Jesus was born as miracle by the word and command of God. This command is, as said in Quran, the same command that had brought Adam into being with neither a father nor a mother. God has said in Quran:
"The case of Jesus with God is like the case of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said to him, "Be!" and he came into being".

(Quran, chapter 3, verse 59)
During the prophetic mission of Jesus (peace be upon him), Jesus performed many miracles. However, these miracles are by God will (or permission) and not by Jesus own (or self) power. God tells us that Jesus said:

"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God's permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper. And I bring the dead to life by God's permission. And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses...."(Quran, chapter 3, verse 49)

Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified as Christians believe. Muslims believe that the enemies of Jesus (peace upon him) plotted and planned to crucify Jesus. However, God miraculously saved Jesus and raised him up to Him (to God). God, the all powerful and the all capable, put the likeness of Jesus (peace upon him) over another man. The enemies of Jesus (peace upon him) thought that the this other man is Jesus and they took him and crucified him. God has said in Quran:

"...They said, "We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God." They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)..."(Quran, chapter 4, verse 157)


Quran says (English meaning translation):

"Jesus said I am indeed a servant of ALLAH (God). He (God) has given me Revelation and made me prophet and He (God) has made me blessed wheresoever I be and has enjoined on me Prayer and Zakat (Charity) as long as I live. He (God) made me kind to my mother (Mary). Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day I shall be that I shall be raised up to life again... It is not befitting to the majesty of Allah (God) that he should beget a son. Glory be to him (God) when he determines a matter, He (God) only says to it "Be" and it is. Verily ALLAH (God) is my Lord and your Lord: Him therefore serve ye: this is a Way that is straight"(Quran chapter 19, verses 30-36)


Muslims believe that both Adam and Eve repented when they disobeyed God by eating from the forbidden tree and that they asked God for forgiveness. Muslims believe, as mentioned in Quran, that God forgave both Adam and Eve. However, Christians believe that Jesus was crucified to save all human generations since Adam creation from Adam and Eve sin.

However, Despite the differences in Muslims and Christian beliefs mentioned above there are many similarities in both religions. Refer to the related question below for more information.
