Quran (Koran)

About 28 times. Below are the verses which contain the name Jesus. These have been taken from Abdullah Yusuf Ali's translation of the Holy Quran by running the a search of the word "Jesus" at www.al-quran.info

[2:87] We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of messengers; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you a messenger with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!

[2:136] Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses andJesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam)."

[2:253] Those messengers We endowed with gifts, some above others: To one of them Allah spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to Jesus the son of Mary We gave clear (Signs), and strengthened him with the holy spirit. If Allah had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If Allah had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but Allah Fulfilleth His plan.

[3:45] Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah;

[3:52] When Jesus found Unbelief on their part He said: "Who will be My helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples: "We are Allah's helpers: We believe in Allah, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims.

[3:55] Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.

[3:59] The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.

[3:84] Say: "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)."

[4:157] That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-

[4:163] We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms.

[4:171] O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesusthe son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.

[5:46] And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah.

[5:78] Curses were pronounced on those among the Children of Israel who rejected Faith, by the tongue of David and of Jesus the son of Mary: because they disobeyed and persisted in excesses.

[5:110] Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'

[5:112] Behold! the disciples, said: "O Jesus the son of Mary! can thy Lord send down to us a table set (with viands) from heaven?" Said Jesus: "Fear Allah, if ye have faith."

[5:114] Said Jesus the son of Mary: "O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a solemn festival and a sign from thee; and provide for our sustenance, for thou art the best Sustainer (of our needs)."

[5:116] And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.

[6:85] And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias: all in the ranks of the righteous:

[19:34] Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.

[33:7] And remember We took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant:

[42:13] The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).

[43:57] When (Jesus) the son of Mary is held up as an example, behold, thy people raise a clamour thereat (in ridicule)!

[43:61] And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way.

[43:63] When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: "Now have I come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which ye dispute: therefore fear Allah and obey me.

[57:27] Then, in their wake, We followed them up with (others of) Our messengers: We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them: (We commanded) only the seeking for the Good Pleasure of Allah; but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet We bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious transgressors.

[61:6] And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "this is evident sorcery!"

[61:14] O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: As said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed. In the Arabic original text of the holy Quran, Jesus Peace be upon Him is mentioned explicitly by name exactly 25 times.

Three verses of the Noble verses mentioned above don't have His explicit name but it's mentioned in the translation for clarification.

Allah has no specific sex (i.e, male or female) , He is absolute and eternal.., He has most vulnerable, most

prominent and excellent sex than other sexes...

Allah used pronoun "HE" in Quran....

if you take a look on Surah Ikhlaas, u will

find, "Qul HOWALLAH Ho Ahad".

Howa is used for "he and it" in arabi..

while Hiya is used for "she and it" in arabi...,

Allah used HE and IT for Him...,

but has no specific sex, He is most vulnerable than all sexes..

No, the praying (or Salah or Namaz) of feast (or id) is not compulsory (is not fard or farz).

The feast praying (or Namaz of Id or Salat of Id) is an assured Sunnah (if you practice it you got rewarded by God but if you don't practice it you are not penalized).

yes namaz (salah in Arabic) is farz upon every believer, and not only Eid salah, all salahs are fard upon every believer from the age of 7, and if the boy or girl doesnot pray until the age of 12 then u have to be a bit strict to tell them to pray salah. because the first question in the grave will be asked about salah, and salah is the way to success, salah gives you peace of heart, salah is very important brother, never miss salah, ant not only eid salah, not only jumma salah, all salah are important. any more questions, add me on facebook paki_souljah@hotmail.com

Kafir is an Arabic word that means unbeliever of some fact or truth. The root of the Kafir word is the verb 'kafar' that means to cover on some truth to hide it or it means simply to disbelieve.

Also, it means to deny a truth. A person who denies the favors of Allah is said to be "kafir". So, Kafir is also the opposite of the grateful thankful person.

In this sense Quran mentions kafir on those who hide the truth, although they know it, and insist on disbelieving and on denying submitting to God (Allah in Arabic) as the one and only one God, with no partner, no son, no companion, no associate, and no resemblance.

Christians and Jews, in principal, are neither called in Quran as kafir nor as unbelievers. They are generally called 'people of the Scripture' as they are the holders of the holy books: the Bible and the Torah respectively. Quran says on people of the book (Christians and Jews):

Meaning English translation:

{And indeed, among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in Allah (God) and what was revealed to you and what was revealed to them, [being] humbly submissive to Allah. They do not exchange the verses of Allah for a small price. Those will have their reward with their Lord. Indeed, Allah is swift in account. (199)}

[Quran, chapter 3, verse 199]

Quran says that who claims that Jesus is God or son of God or who believes in the Trinity has disbelieved:

لَقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّـهَ هُوَ الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۖ وَقَالَ الْمَسِيحُ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اعْبُدُوا اللَّـهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُ مَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّـهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ ۖ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ ﴿٧٢﴾ لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّـهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَاثَةٍ ۘ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّا إِلَـٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۚ وَإِن لَّمْ يَنتَهُوا عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿٧٣﴾ أَفَلَا يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى اللَّـهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَهُ ۚ وَاللَّـهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٧٤﴾ مَّا الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّهُ صِدِّيقَةٌ ۖ كَانَا يَأْكُلَانِ الطَّعَامَ ۗ انظُرْ كَيْفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ الْآيَاتِ ثُمَّ انظُرْ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾ قُلْ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا ۚ وَاللَّـهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ﴿٧٦﴾

Meaning English translation:

{They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers. (72) They have certainly disbelieved who say, " Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. (73) So will they not repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (74) The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded. (75) Say, "Do you worship besides Allah that which holds for you no [power of] harm or benefit while it is Allah who is the Hearing, the Knowing?" (76)}

[Quran, chapter 5, verses 72-76]

Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi

Alhakumu alttakathuru

Hatta zurtumu almaqabira

Kalla sawfa taAAlamoona

Thumma kalla sawfa taAAlamoona

Kalla law taAAlamoona AAilma alyaqeeni

Latarawunna aljaheema

Thumma latarawunnaha AAayna alyaqeeni

Thumma latus-alunna yawma-ithin AAani alnnaAAeemi

In fact it's not a book but a lecture by the Canadian Professor Gary Miller. He studied the Holy Quran as a preacher to Christianity in order to find errors of any type in this Glorious book in such a way that would be beneficial to him & his fellow preachers in calling Muslims to Christianity. The result was completely to the contrary as he found in conclusion that it's IMPOSSIBLE for the Holy Quran to be a man-made work & consequently he embraced Islam & talked about his experience & the Amazing Quran in that famous lecture.

It has two signs:

1. To believe in Him completely, that is, to believe, without a shadow of a doubt, correctly as Ahl as-Sunnatscholars communicated.

2. To serve His servants in their worldly and otherworldly affairs. It brings much thawâb to serve them in their worldly affairs, such as relieving a person's burden or donating money. The purport of a hadîth-i sharîf is as follows:

(Human beings are Allah's servants. The person whom Allahu ta'âlâ loves most is the one who does goodness to His servants.) [Bazzar]

It is very valuable to save a person who is burning in a fire. But it is nothing compared with saving a person from the Hell-fire. Therefore, the most valuable serving is to try to secure their hereafter. In other words, if they are not Muslims, we must strive to be instrumental in their converting to Islam. If they are Muslims, then we must strive to be instrumental in their learning Islam correctly. Today, the easiest way to achieve this is to present a proper Islamic book to them.
