Dear Muslim friend, do you believe the words and teachings of your holy Qur'an? Or have you unknowingly rejected the testimony of the Qur'an about Jesus (or Isa) and about the prior revelations that God sent to bear witness to him? If you trust the Qur'an and have an open and prayerful heart, you may be surprised at what it says about the prophet Jesus.
The Testimony of the Qur'an The Qur'an declares many wonderful things about the prophet Jesus.
Three surahs (or chapters) are named after references to him, and he is spoken of in fifteen surahs (ninety-three verses) altogether, more than any other person in the entire Qur'an.
The Qur'an teaches that Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead (3: 49; 5: 113), was born of the virgin Mary (3: 45-47; 23: 50; 19: 16-22), brought the gospel to the Jewish people (3: 49-51; 13: 38), and was an apostle and prophet of God (3: 49; 6: 85-90).
In the Qur'an, Jesus alone is supported by the Holy Spirit (2: 87, 253).
Jesus alone is called the Word of God (3: 45; 4: 171) and the Messiah (Christ, 3: 45; 4: 157, 172, etc).
Yet the Qur'an is not the only testimony to Jesus.
Nor is it the primary one.
The Qur'an repeatedly states that God sent prior revelations to the Jews and the Christians: The Torah (Taurat), the Psalms (Zabur), and the Gospel (Injil).
Have you ever read what these prophetic words say about Jesus? The Qur'an's Testimony to God's Prior Revelations But you may wonder if the Jewish and Christian Scriptures are really trustworthy revelations from God.
Perhaps you have been told that they have been corrupted or lost.
What does the Qur'an say about this? God Sent Other Scriptures Prior to the Qur'an In numerous places the Qur'an testifies that God gave the Jews and the Christians revelations in the past: He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind (3: 3-4); Say, 'We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you' (29: 46; cf.
6: 89; 2: 136; 5:.
