Muslims love Jesus, believe in his miraculous birth and miracles, and await his second coming while worshipping the God whom Jesus himself worshipped.
God is One
Jesus never claimed divinity. He called people to the One God, just as every prophet before him.
Sent by God
A chosen messenger, not God incarnate. He was sent to guide humanity back to its Creator.
Worshipped One God
He bowed in prayer to the One who sent him, showing us the very path he taught.
Miracles by God’s permission
Every sign he performed pointed to God’s power, never to his own.
Jesus in the Qur’an
Islam gives Jesus a place no other faith outside Christianity does — Messiah, virgin-born, miracle-worker, and the one who will return — while keeping worship for God alone.
A shared call to worship God
Explore the Qur’anic view alongside passages in the Bible that echo the call to worship the One God.
Jesus worshipped one God — so do Muslims. The core of his message and ours is the same.

Say: He is Allah, One; there is none comparable to Him.

Biblical passage · Acts 2:22
Peter calls Jesus a man attested by God through signs that God did through him.
The second coming
The New Testament anticipates the return of Jesus (Matthew 24:30, Acts 1:11). Islamic sources likewise teach that Jesus, peace be upon him, will descend, expose the false messiah, restore justice, and live as a faithful servant of God. His return does not make him God; it confirms his role as the Messiah and messenger.
