Jesus & Mary in Islam
• Muslims believe, respect and revere Jesus
(peace be upon him), and await his Second
Coming. They consider him one of the
greatest of God’s Messengers to mankind.
The Quran confirms his virgin birth (A
Chapter of the Quran is entitled “Mary”),
and Mary is considered one of the purest
women in all creation.

The Virgin Mary (Quran 3: 42-7)
• “Be hold!” the Angel said, “God has chosen you, and
purified you, and chosen you above the women of all
nations. O Mary , God gives you good news of a word
from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of
Mary, honored in this world and the Hereafter, and one
shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity,
and shall be of the righteous.”
• She said: “ O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no
man has touched me? ”
• He said: “ Even so; God creates what He will. When He
decrees a thing, He says to it, ‘Be!’ and it is.”
