The Life of Jesus as Revealed to Mary


Interpretation and Meditation on Holy Quran 3:45-55

The angels called: "Dearest Mary, listen. Allah Most High sends you joyous news of the Divine Word, emanating directly from the Source of Love, whose name is Messiah and who will be known as the noble Jesus. He will be profoundly honored in this world, and in the realm of Paradise he is eternally beloved, abiding with the most intimate companions of Love, deep within the Radiance of Allah. The Messiah Jesus will transmit Truth to humanity, beginning as an infant in his cradle and continuing until he reaches manhood. He will be truly righteous and pure of heart."

The Virgin Mary turned directly to the Ultimate Source and prayed: "Most precious Allah, how can I bear a child, since no man has known me? " Allah Most Merciful then awakened Mary spiritually by placing these Divine Words in her heart: "My beloved Mary, the Source of Power can manifest whatever is needed to guide humanity. To project any being or event, Allah simply affirms it and it is. Through your spontaneously conceived child, the Source of Truth will confirm the truth of the Holy Torah. Through this luminous child, the Source of Wisdom will transmit the wisdom of the Holy Gospel. My beloved Jesus will declare to the People of Israel: "Behold, I have come with wonderful sings from the Source of Love and Power. As a child I molded from river clay the likeness of a bird. When I breathed on it, by the mysterious permission of Allah, it became a white dove that took wing before my mother's eyes. Through me, the Divine Power heals those born blind, cleanses lepers, and reawakens those who have fallen into the sleep of death. I demonstrate the Power of Allah by knowing precisely what people have experienced, what worldly wealth they have stored in their houses, and what spiritual treasure they have hidden within their hearts. These are demonstrations of Love to turn human beings toward the Source of Love. I have come to confirm the Words of Torah that were revealed before me, and also to bring new spiritual freedom. To give the people of Torah confidence in my Prophethood have I come with powerful signs from Allah Most Sublime. By responding wholeheartedly to me, you will be turning toward the Light of Allah. Allah alone is my Source and your Source. The direct path to illumination is to turn your whole life toward the Ever-Present Source."

The Resonance of Allah continued to spring forth in the heart of the Virgin Mary: "When the noble Jesus teaches thus, he will help to bear and to transmit the Truth of Allah that is flowing through me?" The blessed apostles will respond: "Revered teacher, we will be your humble companions and the instruments of Allah Most High, for we have surrendered our lives to the Source of Life. You can witness our submission. We believe wholeheartedly that you are sent as Holy Messenger from the Source and Goal of Being. May our names be inscribed in the Heavenly Book among those who will follow and serve the Messiah Jesus always."

"After the bitter scheming of those who live in negation of Love has been brought to nothing by the Power of Allah, the Voice of Truth will call these Divine Words into the heart of His holy servant: "My beloved Jesus, I now draw you back to Me and exalt your being. I now purify and heal you from the harsh touch of those who deny that you are messenger from the Source of Love. Be assured that I will transfigure with My Love all those who sincerely follow you, and awakening from the sleep of death, they will experience the radiant resurrection of Paradise. Be assured as well that all souls will eventually return to Me to resolve the conflict and confusion of their earthly journey."

Asalamu Aleykum everyone,

Thanks for the beauty of the words about the messenger of ALLAH "ISSA"! No doubt about JESU's(ISSA)prophethood, and may ALLAH bring the hearts together so that people will stop fighting each other! Islam is a great religion as well as those revealed to the messengers of ALLAH that came before Mohamed(PBUH)! Let just be careful on how we convey the message of ALLAH and let us all remember that you will be held accountable for your says and deeds!One think is clear though, ALLAH made it clear in the sourate IKHLASS that HE "ALLAH" is the only ONE GOD and HE "ALLAH" had no son!

Assalamualaikum,

By accepting Islam, one will love Jesus ( J- pbuh ) more. That it is more meaningful to love him as a human being, a dearly beloved Prophet. That one will never have contradictions and conflict of conscience anymore.

Believe me on this.

ASIF FROM USA said:
I just wanted to add a comment on the miraculous birth of prophet Issa (pbuh).

1- Allah (swt) can will anything. So it is not a big deal from this perspective
2- Virgin births (asexual reproduction) is very common in nature - amongst frogs, plants. Just last Oct/Nov a shark gave birth without a mate.

Like Hafeez said, christians are too hung up on this miracle. Ultimtely they fail to realize that what they follow is not prophet Issa teachings but corrupted teachings.

The verse of Surah Al-yasin always comes to mind when I hear them talk - that a veil has been put in front of them and they cannot see. This despite the fact that history, logic bears truth out to be opposite of what they believe

(its like me in Math - the text is there but I still cannot understand it !!)

FARDEEN FROM INDIA said:
Over all, the article looks like a translation of the Holy Quran 3:45-55. But it is just on the face of it. The words that are used and are mingled up to make a total different sense of the sentences and the paragraph as a whole.

For more details please check and compare with translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali or any other good translation like M Asad or Picktall. You may find the words different but the essence of the sentences is not lost.

If anyone has the time you can refer to Ahmed Deedat - New Deceit in Christian Evangelism
http://www.aswatalislam.net/DisplayFilesP.aspx?TitleID=50016&TitleName=Ahmed_Deedat

To Naseer -
I would like to correct you, we Muslims believe him to be God's word not God word. And same for the rest of the sentences where you have missed the ('s).

Very well said by brother Al-Buruni, JazakAllah.

I congratulate Sister Sara for coming a few steps closer to the truth. It takes courage to accepting the truth after seeing it. May Allah bless & guide you.

ANDREW ABDUL RAHMAN FROM U.S. A. said:
After reading the article about Jesus i was impressed that most people especialy of the "people of the book" don't know about the life of Jesus(pbh) and his background, his original teachings. I live in a predomiately christian atmosphere where i hear more than 10 times a day someone saying "thank you Jesus". I shudder because it sounds to me that these people are giving praise to someone other than Allah(swa). I understand the delema that the world is facing right now concerning Islam and the public personna of what Islam is and isn't. Our goal as muslims should be to continue to educate the ignorant, this is our job and the mission that we accepted upon reciting La Illaha il Allah!

assalaamualaikum
my dear brother or sister of this article of jesus the son of Mary. This sounds like an article written by someone who worships jesus christ as a lord over a throne or better yet treats and give an indication that Allah is treating him like a special son. Id like to indicate that Allah is the source of power might the wise he does not display a over abundance of this love as he does his power of authority over all his creatures. Please if you will rewrite this article because it sounds like something out of the biblical text

AARON FROM UK said:
Islam's position towards Jesus is the middle course between two extremes. At one extreme there are those who believe that Jesus is God, the Son of God or part of a divine trinity while on the other extreme there are others who slander him, call him names and deny his message.

HAFEEZ FROM SINGAPORE said:
Andrew,
No, its not weird at all. Firstly, we muslims love and respect all prophets who were sent down to preach the Oneness of Allah (swt). But, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) is more special to us because he succeeded in guiding humanity to the path which leads straight to Allah (swt). With 1.3 billion and counting fastest, mainly because truth always triumphs, do you need more proof (but I trust you will dispute that). Even Allah (swt) refers to him, in the Holy Quran, as a Mercy to Mankind.

Without him, we muslims would be just like you guys, wandering blindly through life (yes, on the way creating some brilliant things with His permission), saying things like the 'trinity', 'only begotten son', 'died for our sins', 'elephant god' (astaghfirullah) and other nonsense like that. I ask, what good are man's brilliant accomplishments, when they fail to understand the one simple fact that will eventually save them from the fire.

You guys are too hung up with miracles which happened 2000 years back. We muslims have a living miracle with us now, the Holy Quran, handed to us by our beloved Prophet. Allah (swt) has promised its protection, and to this day He has kept His promise, so shall He until the end of this world. And, I know you guys will try your creative best to try and malign it, change it, whatever. But, you are all destined for a humiliating failure.

Salaams to all my brothers and sisters,
Hafeez

it is extreemly important that people know our belifs in christ.
we call him god word.
we call him god spirit.
we call him god massenger and prophet.
we call him god honrable slave.
we call him one of the five great massengers of god.
we follow him and follow Bernabas gosbel the most sincere deciple of christ who did not alter his teaching or bertryed him and turned him to the romans.
the probaganda aginst muslims that they are antchrist and worship different god and idol worshipers and that is the reason of hate.
the west think that islam is like hunduism and buddism and hence they treat us like that.
we have to emphsize the abrahamic faith and the oneness of god the creator of the world.

A SISTER FROM USA said:
Muslims must be careful in regards to the type of information we put out there. Some of the article reads, "May our names be inscribed in the heavenly book among those who follow and SERVE the Messiah Jesus always." We Muslims do not SERVE any prophet but Allah SWT. Muslims should not SERVE any human being or any prophet but Allah SWT; the one and only GOD.

ANDREW SOLOMON FROM UNITED KINGDOM said:
If the bible does indeed have contradictions about Jesus and that is the reason that Muslims don't celebrate the birth of Christ, you would find it interesting that the Quran talks about the Virgin birth, the miracles performe by Jesus and yet Prophet Muhammed is more dignified than Jesus? Isn't that a bit weird?

YOHAN DAHAL FROM BHUTAN said:
Unless Sara submits to Andy, all the arguements presented in favour of Islam will not be helpful to defend Islam, for Christianity is the only true Islam. Jesus (Y'Shua) is the only Son of God and in knowing and believing in Him we also become the sons of the same God. What a wonderful transformation of the faithful from serving the lust of the Devil to Worshiping the only true God by the merits of His Son! Glory to God most high by the merits of Y'Shua.

CHRISTIAN FROM CANADA said:
You are all imperfect...and you all interpret God's will
accordingly. If you can accept this, then you have taken
a great step in becoming the humble servant that you
should be. Life has a very simple purpose; to establish
order on the basis of goodness (as opposed to chaos
fueled by selfishness and vice).

Peace loving children of God who understand our times
and work to preserve and salvage a balance in all that
God has created--humanity, wildlife, the planet itself--
have heard the calling and are of the same faith.
Religion can be a contaminant for it is the creation of
man.

AL-BURUNI FROM BORNEO said:
To Andy: we muslims dont celebrate the birth of Prophet Jesus (AS) and we dont believe that he is the son of God (Allah). Allah is the sole Creator of all. The rest are his creations, Jesus is just a part of his creation just as He created Prophet Adam (AS) who also doesnt have a father and even a mother. Allah the Living & Eternal is Perfect and is free of any needs, so He doesnt need to have a son. But we as his creations are in constant need of Allah the Provider and His Provisions. We weaklings would perish without air, food, water, etc. Thus we as a special being created with intellect and free will, our main purpose is to recognize Allah the One, our Creator, as the Truth, and to submit ourselves and worship Him (by being Muslim, which literally means - a person who submits to God). This is what the message of Islam is all about, revealed to the prophets and taught to us (fellow human beings) by them starting from Prophet Adam (AS) and completed and sealed by the last Prophet Muhammad (SAW). We believe that Jesus was amongst these Allah's greatest prophets, a messenger with a revelation and mission but whose teachings was tampered with and distorted by human hands through the ages. That's why there are a lot of contradictions in the bible.

Dear Andy, if you are sincere in searching for the truth, you can ask and speak directly to Allah, Who is All-Hearing, be true and honest, and pray to Him to guide you to the truth. He Who is the All-Knowing knows what is in the depth your heart and He will surely guide you if indeed you are sincere, because he is The Guide.

You could start off by reading the Quran in order to know more about the message of Islam. It is also recommended to know the attributes of our Creator. Just like we want to know better a person who we like, then why not knowing better our Creator (in fact it is a duty) and getting close and intimate to Him.

Hope this humble info from me is of any use to you & also to myself & the rest..

SARA FROM U.S.A. said:
Hi Andy! Merry Christmas! If one believes in Jesus to be the son of God and believes in the Holy Trinity, one must remeber that before Jesus, there was just God, God the father, who walked with Adam on Earth (Gen 2). Jesus was then created later in the likeness of God BY GOD to accomplish His message and in this way he was a prophet of God. Jesus was also a social reformer and a teacher. One has to remember all that Jesus did. God created Jesus. This one God is also known as Allah, which means God in Arabic. The monotheistic faith that is practiced by Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike has ONE PRINCIPLE MESSAGE and that is to follow one God as a good human being by doing good things. The 'purpose' of the Islamic faith as you put it, is to continue the message that was passed down by God through the prophets dating back from the first covenant with Abraham (pbuh). This message was completed by Muhammad (pbuh). The argument that Jesus died for our sins is not THE PRIME message of the monotheistic religion but a very crucial part in understanding and accepting Christianity and presenting the IMPORTANCE of Jesus. However, I do not believe that because he may have died for our sins that everyone will go to heaven, because people commit sins everyday. Therefore, again I do not believe this is the message of God but only a crucial piece to knowing Jesus' role in Christianity. Thus, the question is not did God die to save you, but what is the message of Islam. You ill find that it is the same message preached since the time of Abraham. Thank you for your time. I hope this helped answer some of your questions. I do apologize if I am a bit vague. If you have further questions, that would be great. Take care now!

Merry Christmas. It's such a shame that you celebrate the birth of Jesus but do not realise that he is Jesus Christ, the son of God, that died to save YOU!

What is the purpose of islam faith? Did Allah die to save you? No? Then whats the message of islam?

In christianity Jesus was sent to earth to preach the gospel and then die to forgive our sins, so that we can be forgiven and meet God in heaven when we die.

God Bless you
