Muslims love Jesus, as well: 6 things you didn't think about Jesus in Islam

Muslims don't trust Jesus was the child of God, yet they do venerate him as a sacred prophet.

Christmas, as everybody knows, honors the introduction of Jesus and is a noteworthy religious festival for Christians around the globe.

In any case, what numerous individuals don't know is that Jesus is an important figure in Islam.

These are six facts you may not know about the role of Jesus — and his mother, Mary — in Islam:

1-Jesus, Mary, and the angel Gabriel are all in the Quran (as are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and a bunch of other Bible characters).

2-Muslims trust that Jesus (called "Isa" in Arabic) was a prophet of God, was destined to a virgin (Mary), and will come back to Earth before the Day of Judgment to reestablish equity and to defeat Al-Masih ad-Dajjal ("the false savior"), otherwise called the Antichrist. All of which may sound quite well-known to numerous Christians.

3-Mary (called "Maryam" in Arabic) has a full chapter in the Quran named for her — the only chapter in the Quran named for a female figure. In fact, Mary is the only woman to be mentioned by name in the Holy Quran: As noted in the Study Quran, "other female figures are identified only by their relation to others, such as the wife of Adam and the mother of Moses, or by their title, such as the Queen of Sheba." Mary is mentioned more times in the Quran than in the entire New Testament.

4-Just as with all the other prophets, including Mohammed, Muslims said, "Peace be upon him" every time they mentionsed the name of Jesus.

5-Muslims believe that Jesus performed miracles: The Quran discusses several of Jesus's miracles, including giving sight to the blind, healing lepers, raising the dead, and breathing life into clay birds.

6-The story of Jesus's birth as told in the Quran is also the story of his first miracle, when he spoke as an infant in the cradle and declared himself to be a prophet of God.
