The Quran says that Jesus is much more than a prophet

The Quran contains several verses that discuss Jesus (Isa). These verses are not found in the Bible (Old and New Testaments) but they reveal that Jesus (Isa) is superhuman and should give Muslims reason to question why Jesus (Isa) is taught to be less than Mohammed.

1. Spoke as a baby:
   - Surah Maryam (19:29-30): When Maryam (Mary) was questioned about her child, Jesus spoke in the cradle to defend her.
     - Verse 30: "He [Jesus] said: 'Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.'"

2. Made a clay bird come to life:
   - Surah Al-Imran (3:49): Jesus performs miracles, including creating a bird from clay.
     - Verse 49: "And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, who will say, 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay that which is like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah.'"

   - Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:110) also mentions this miracle: "And when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission..."

3. Performed miracles:
   - Surah Al-Imran (3:49): Apart from creating the bird, Jesus is described as performing other miracles such as healing the blind and the lepers, and bringing the dead to life.
     - Verse 49: "And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah."

4. Never sinned:
   - The Quran does not explicitly state that Jesus never sinned. However, it presents him as a prophet of high standing and righteousness. Prophets in the Quran are regarded as models of moral and ethical perfection, and there is no mention of Jesus committing any sin. 

   - Surah Maryam (19:19) refers to him as "pure" (زَكِيًّا, *zakiyy*), which some interpret as a reference to his sinless nature.
     - Verse 19: "He [the angel] said, 'I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy.'"

5. Never died:
   - Surah An-Nisa (4:157-158): The Quran asserts that Jesus was not killed, but instead, he was raised up to Allah.
     - Verse 157: "And [for] their saying, 'Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.' And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them..."
     - Verse 158: "Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise."

6. Went to Heaven and is coming back:
   - Although the Quran does not explicitly mention Jesus’ second coming, it is implied through interpretations of various verses, particularly Surah An-Nisa (4:158), which speaks of Jesus being raised up to Allah.
   - The second coming of Jesus is a widely held belief in Islamic tradition (Hadith literature), where it is said that Jesus will return near the end of time.

7. Is the Word of God:
   - Surah Al-Imran (3:45) refers to Jesus as *Kalimatullah* (Word of Allah).
     - Verse 45: "When the angels said, 'O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary...'"

These Quranic references imply that Jesus is more than a Prophet.

 

The many super-human characteristics have led many Muslims to believe that Jesus is far greater than Mohammed (who sinned, died, never created life, never healed anyone, is not the Word of God and is not coming back) and that He (Jesus / Isa) is indeed God.  Listen to the testimony below:
