He used a stone for his pillow, put on coarse clothes and ate rough food. His condiment was hunger. His lamp at night was the moon. His shade during the winter was just the expanse of earth eastward and westward. His fruits and flowers were only what grows from the earth for the cattle. He had no wife to allure him, nor any son to give grief, nor wealth to deviate (his attention), nor greed to disgrace him. His two feet were his conveyance and his two hands his servant.

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
When the angels said, 'O Mary, God gives thee glad tidings of a son through a Word from Him; his name shall be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, honoured in this world and in the next, and of those who are granted nearness to God;

Hmm. Here, on one hand, it appears that the koran (qur'an, etc) DOES agree that Jesus is the Messiah. Yet, islam specifically denies/rejects the divinity of Jesus.
Most (if not all) Christians are offended by islam attempting to claim that "allah" is the same as the one true God, the God of Judaism and Christianity. I believe that many (if not all) Jews are similarly offended.
This is my best answer to your obvious non-question.

You fail, however to know why He came. What was His purpose for living. Who He is. Those questions will not be correctly answered by Mohammad.
You must learn the truth about Jesus by studying His book, not the writings of an unbeliever. I pray that you will.

Yes, He led a very humble life, a sinless life for our sake. At any time He could have asked His Father in Heaven for anything He wanted. But instead, He loved us enought to deny Himself and to die on the cross to save our evil souls so that one day we could be in Heaven with Him. Thank you for the information, but if you are going to talk about Him, make sure you talk about what He has truly done for all of us.

Doesn't your Qur'an claim that Isa (Jesus) was the Messiah?
