Jesus in Islam: What Muslims Really Believe About Jesus

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Who is Jesus in Islam? What do Muslims really believe about him? And how does the Islamic understanding of Jesus compare with Christianity?

In this beginner-friendly course, you will explore the life, message, and unique status of Jesus — known in Arabic as Isa — from the perspective of the Quran and Islamic teachings.

Jesus holds an extraordinary place in Islam. Muslims believe in his miraculous birth, honor his mother Mary, recognize his miracles, and regard him as the Messiah and one of the greatest messengers of God. At the same time, Islamic teachings differ from traditional Christian beliefs on important questions concerning his divinity, crucifixion, and relationship with God.

Throughout the course, we will examine these subjects clearly, respectfully, and step by step.

You will learn about:

• Jesus and his status in Islam

• Mary and the miraculous birth of Jesus

• The miracles of Jesus mentioned in the Quran

• The central message and mission of Jesus

• Why Muslims call Jesus the Messiah

• The Islamic understanding of the crucifixion

• The ascension of Jesus

• The Islamic belief in his second coming

• Important similarities between Islam and Christianity

• Important differences between Muslim and Christian beliefs about Jesus

This course is designed for Muslims, Christians, non-Muslims, students of religion, and anyone interested in comparative religion.

No previous knowledge of Islam, Christianity, Arabic, or theology is required.

The aim is not to attack another faith, but to explain the Islamic perspective accurately and respectfully so that you can better understand one of the most important figures shared by Islam and Christianity.

By the end of the course, you will have a clear foundation for understanding what Muslims really believe about Jesus and why.
