ISA (Jesus), THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS SPIRIT

Muslims respect and revere Isa (pbuh), and await his second coming. He is considered to be one of the greatest of God's messengers to Mankind. He told people of the earlier prophets of Allah, saying that he is only one of the prophets of God. "...Christ Jesus, the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of God..." He urged people to believe in Allah and worship no one apart from Allah.

In the Qur'an, when he is not mentioned by name while Isa (pbuh), he is mentioned as “son of Maryam". Most Qur’anic references to Isa (pbuh) describe him as “son of Mary”, because at the time when the Qur’an was revealed, there were numerous legends in circulation about Isa (pbuh) and the false claim of his being Allah’s son or his having a dual nature, partly divine and partly human, on his having a single divine nature with which his human nature has mixed and integrated in the same way as a drop of water falls into a cup mixes with the water contained in that cup. Numerous were these mythical concepts which gave rise to endless arguments and polemics among various churches and councils, and which led to great bloodshed during the reign of the Byzantine Empire.
He was a man who wanted to instill love and justice between the people as opposed to the oppression, cruelty and injustice prevalent at the time. He received many blessings from God and through them he was able to perform many miracles. He could cure the sick and also bring the dead back to life, in order that the people recognise the truth of his message, realising his miracles were a gift from God and it is thus to Him that they should be grateful to alone. But most of the people did not accept Isa' invitation (pbuh) to the right path. They showed a lot of hatred and cruelty towards him instead. The book that Isa (pbuh) brought from Allah for the guidance of people is called the Enjeel.He announced to the people a coming of another prophet, whose name would be Ahmad.
