Post 18: Jesus and the Qur'an

Jesus, or "Isa" (in Arabic), which means peace be upon faith, is extremely significant in Islam and Christianity. The Qur'an has differences in terms of beliefs about the nature and life occurrences of Jesus. Jesus is actually mentioned over two dozen times with passages containing biblical and nonbiblical traditions about Jesus. There are 71 verses in the Qur'an that refer to prophet Jesus. In the Qur'an he is mentioned in three different primary ways.

"O May, God sends you the good news of a command of His: his name shall be Messiah, Jesus son of Mary."

"..and God will teach him the book and wisdom, and give him the knowledge of the Torah and the Gospel, and appoint him as his messenger to the children of Israel (Quran 3:45-49".
