WHAT DOES ISLAM SAYS ABOUT JESUS? WHAT DO MUSLIMS BELIEVE ABOUT HIM?

Chapter 3, Verses 45-55 calls Jesus the “Word of God“, “Spirit of God” “Jesus Christ“. The Quran says that Jesus began speaking 2 days after being born. In fact, in the 114 chapters of the Quran Muhammad’s name is mentioned in only 4 places. However, Jesus is mentioned in 25. Concluding, Muslims do believe in Christ, as was literally said in the original scriptures and not what was modified some 300 years after Christ’s departure from this Earth.

There are biblical sources that support this miracle. The Syriac Infancy Gospel is one of the texts among the New Testament apocryphal writings … in the Arabic Gospel Of The Infancy Of The Savior and Surah 19:29-34, where the story of Jesus speaking as a baby in the cradle in narrated.

The Infancy Gospel (also known as the Arabic Infancy Gospel) is one of the texts among the New Testament apocryphal writings concerning the infancy of Jesus. It may have been compiled as early as the sixth century, and was partly based on the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, and Protevangelium of James.

It consists of three parts:

  1. The birth of Jesus – based on the Protevangelium of James.
  2. Miracles during the Flight into Egypt – seemingly based on nothing more than local traditions.
  3. The miracles of Jesus as a boy – based on the Infancy Gospel of Thomas.

It includes a diaper (of Jesus) that heals people, sweat (of Jesus) that turns into balm, curing leprosy, and dyeing cloth varied colors using only indigo dye. It also claims earlier encounters for Jesus with Judas Iscariot, and with the thieves with whom he is later said to have been crucified alongside.  It is also said to be one of the earliest documents, predating the canonized Gospels.
