His father, Joseph, was a carpenter and most men of that day stayed in same profession as their fathers. So yes, by birth he was a carpenter, the Bible never mentions anything about Him doing any actual carpentry work though.

Jesus's stepfather, Joseph, was a "carpenter". Although the word used in the original language is closer to what we think of as a "contractor". But nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus was - or was not - a carpenter also. But odds are good that he worked in his father's business until he left to start his ministry at the age of 30.

back in those days,m most children took up their father's vocation, and Joseph was a carpenter, and then he passed the trade along to Jesus. So yes, He was

Yes he was. However, what no one pointed out was that these carpenters were not like house framers or builders. They were furniture makers.

His step-father, Joseph, was. So it makes sense that he learned the trade as a boy.

The mother of Prophet Isa (Alaih Assalaam)was called Maryam(sa). Some people also call her Mary(sa). She was a very pious woman and once, an angel of Allah Allah came to her and said: Soon you will have a son. But how can I have a son? Maryam(sa) asked. I have no husband. The angel replied: Allah is almighty. when He wishes something, then it will happen. You will have a son, and his name shall be Isa, and he will be a great prophet of Allah(swt).

When Isa (Alaih Assalaam) was born, Maryam(sa) was on her own. She was very sad and hungry, for she had nothing to eat. But Allah came to her aid. He made a stream flow and a tree with nourishing fruits grew in the place where Maryam lived. Now, she would not have to suffer thirst and hunger.

Later Maryam(sa) returned to her family. They were very curious about the child and asked: How did you get him?

But Maryam(sa) did not answer. Instead, she just pointed to the child. Don’t be silly, Maryam! the people admonished her. How can we ask a child, who is still in the cradle?

But just then, to their amazement, they heard the child say: I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the scripture and made me His prophet. We, mankind, should worship only Allah and help the poor and give them some of our money.

Years passed and Isa grew to be a man. Often, he spoke to the people and told them what Allah had revealed to him. He told them too of the earlier prophets of Allah. He told them: I am also a prophet of Allah and I am also a man like all the other prophets of Allah. You should believe in Allah and worship no-one apart from Allah. You should be good to one another and help each other.

Some people have given Isa(Alaih Assalaam) the name Jesus. They say that Allah is the father of Jesus. We know that this is not true. Isa(Alaih Assalaam) himself has said that he is only a prophet of Allah, even though he had no father. Allah has no sons. Only human beings have sons and daughters.

Isa(Alaih Assalaam) brought a book to mankind. This book is called Injil, and Allah gave this book to Isa. In it there are many stories and it is also stated there that mankind should worship only Allah.

Prophet Isa (Alaih Assalaam)had many blessings from Allah. He was able to perform many miracles with Allah’s help. He could cure the sick so that they would be grateful to Allah and obey and pray to Allah alone. Isa (Alaih Assalaam) could also bring the dead back to life so that the people would be happy and pray to Allah and thank Him.

Prophet Isa (Alaih Assalaam)told the people of another prophet who was going to come later, whose name would be Prophet Ahmad. It was Allah who had sent Prophet Isa (Alaih Assalaam) to the people to tell them that Prophet Muhammad would come.

There were many people who listened to Prophet Isa (Alaih Assalaam) and worshipped Allah, but here were some who refused to listen and wanted to kill him. Evil people have always tried to persecute and kill Allah’s prophets. We know that from the stories of Ibrahim (Alaih Assalaam) and Yusuf (Alaih Assalaam)and many other prophets.

But when the evil people were just about to kill Isa (Alaih Assalaam), Allah came to his rescue, just as He had rescued other prophets when they were in danger.

Some people say that Prophet Isa (Alaih Assalaam)was nailed onto a cross by his enemies and that he died in this way. But we know this is not true. Allah protected Prophet Isa (Alaih Assalaam)so that the people could not carry out their evil intentions. Allah said to Isa: I will let you die in peace and then you will come to Me and be with Me. Those who had been following you and prayed to Me and did good will be brought to Me. They will receive the best rewards, because they have been very obedient.

Thus, Allah helps His prophets when they are in danger, and He also helps those who follow the prophets and worship only Allah and do good.
