Can any Muslims say what the prophet Jesus' message was - what did he prophesy?

Question

Could you add where you read or heard of this, please? Many thanks, in anticipation.

I have actually read all the 17 or 18 passages in the Qur'an where Jesus is mentioned. I didn't get any kind of prophecies from that (apart from the claim he foretold Muhammad and Islam). I just wonder if that's ALL Jesus prophecied. Did he have no message for the people of his day and age (as Muhammad didn't appear till about 600 years later)? Did he not prophecy about the Last Days and the Day of Judgment, did he not have a Gospel message - stuff like that? Nothing in the Hadith?

Maryam a - I tried the link you gave - thanks. Couldn't get that page to come up so searched the Islamic site but found nothing of what Jesus preached or prophecied. It's because I have this sort of difficulty going on to Islamic sites that I posted my Q here.

If I'd asked this Q of Christians, they could have filled pages and pages on Yahoo, the Bible is so full of his sayings. It surely cannot be possible that the 1st answer says it all?

Answer 1

The Qur'an recalls his miraculous birth, his teachings, the miracles he performed by God's permission, and his life as a respected prophet of God. The Qur'an also repeatedly reminds that Jesus was a human prophet sent by God, not part of God Himself.

"Behold! the angels said, 'Oh Mary! God gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him. His name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter, and in (the company of) those nearest to God. He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity.
He shall be (in the company) of the righteous... And God will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel'" (3:45-48).

"He [Jesus] said: 'I am indeed a servant of God. He has given me revelation and made me a prophet; He has made me blessed wheresoever I be; and He has enjoined on me prayer and charity as long as I live. He has made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable. So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)!' Such was Jesus the son of Mary. It is a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is" (19:30-35).

"When Jesus came with Clear Signs, he said: 'Now I have come to you with Wisdom, and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) on which you dispute. Therefore, fear God and obey me. God, He is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him -- this is a Straight Way.' But sects from among themselves fell into disagreement. So woe to the wrongdoers, from the penalty of a Grievous Day!" (43:63-65)

"And behold! God will say [i.e. on the Day of Judgment]: 'Oh Jesus, the son of Mary! Did you say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of God?' He will say: 'Glory to Thee! Never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would indeed have known it. You know what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Yours. For You know in full all that is hidden. Never did I say to them anything except what You commanded me to say: 'Worship God, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I lived among them. When You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a witness to all things'" (5:116-117).

"Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how God makes His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!" (5:75).

I hope I answered your question.


EDIT:Morganie, I'm sorry to say that it's beyond your understanding, unless you read the Quran..

EDIT: Annsan: You know the Quran talks about how he cured the blind and how with the blessings of Allah he was able to bring the dead to life. As for the Hadith it fortells his come back to spread justice and to deny the Christians beliefs that made him a God and son of God.

Answer 2

first he was born by the virgin marry , she was sitting under the tree when an angel came & said to her u will have a son name eaisah jesus then he grow up & he gather ppl & start telling them about god that he is 1 & u must fallow him but one of his secret student were jews & he run to the bad king & told him about jesus & went back to the house where they use to learn about god , then this jews god make him look like jesus & they catch him & punish him while jesus was going up & god save him from the punishment & punish the cheated jews & thats it
he will come back & rule 40 years to show those ppl the right religion its soon i guess

Answer 3

And why would a prophet run away (abandoning) his loved ones? A Prophet capable of spectacular miracles?

Answer 4

I think "skypower" give best answer, I agree with "skypower"

I don't think need to contribute for me.

May God Guide us right Path

Answer 5

So basically according to the Qur'an, Jesus's prophecy was "don't worship me!" - funny, that Allah would create a sinless man, have him perform so many miracles, and have him be raised from the dead (again) - and not have any message other than "don't worship me!" and "I am not God"

You would think he would have something of substance to say...other than merely a negation of what people were believing about him...
