yes! islam teaches That Jesus was born of a virgin.
The Qur'an gives an account of the birth of Jesus in chapter 3. Mary is described as being a virgin, chosen by God, and considered with great honor. "Behold! the angels said: O Mary! Allah gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary." [Q3:45] . Verse 47 relates the response of and to Mary, "She said: O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me? He said: 'Even so: Allah creates what He wills: When He has decreed a plan, He merely says to it, 'Be,' and it is!"
Q19-22. "So she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place"
The story of birth of Jesus is ,also, described in chapter 19 (Mary) of the holy qur'an..read upto verse 34 .
The Qur'an thus affirms and Muslims believe that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary.

Contrary to popular belief The Qur'an does NOT say Isa ibn Maryam was conceived via a miraculous conception. The Qur'an does acknowledge the power of ALLAH(swt) via two stories. First you have the story of Zacharias in surah 3:37 where he prays for a "goodly offspring from thee." In verses 39 and 40 it is detailed how his prayer was answered. The narrative never mentions an act of intercourse between Zacharias and his wife, who was old and barren at the time in question. In verse 34 of the same surah(3) you see where the mother of Maryam prayed for the child in her womb to be devoted to ALLAH(swt). Similar circumstances. In verse 44 Maryam is told via the angel Jibreel that she "will" have a child not that she is "with" child whose name shall is the Messiah, Jesus Son of Mary. In verse 46 Mary responds how can she have a child when man has not "yet" touched her. The response given by the angel in verse 46 is similar to the response in verse 39 when responding to the wife of Zacharias. The response given by the angel is more the point then a supposed virgin birth. Its speaks to the divine commend of ALLAH(swt) which is "Be" that is given throughout the Qur'an as when ALLAH decrees a thing all He says is "Be" and it is(36:82). Lastly there is no sound support for a virgin birth in any sound ahadith of the Nabi Muhammad ibn Abdullah(s.a.a.w.). This concept has crept into Islam via xtian influence on Islam.

'Islam is fake as a results of fact Jesus of Nazareth exchange into born with the aid of virgin delivery. Agree/Disagree (tell me why)?" I disagree. Jesus being born of a virgin has no longer something to do with Islam being fake. numerous hundred years in the past, there have been many tribes interior the middle east that fought one yet another usually. each tribe had their very own god that they worshiped. a number of those had names that translate such as "the king of the gods", "the efficient god", and so on. Allah is the god that exchange into presupposed to be over those gods, uniting them at the same time under one god's rule so as that those diverse tribes additionally may be under this god's rule and despite his followers stated. there are various stuff that Allah is to have stated that are the alternative of what the God of Abraham says. historic previous and the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob say that Islam is fake.

Yes they do, but also go so far as to say that Mary Gave birth under some tree or something to that effect.. One of many convoluted passages in their Book.

Apparently, Yes.
And this is strange, because Islam regards Jesus as a MINOR prophet, YET GIVES ALL ITS CREDIT to Muhammad, a man born to TWO parents.
surely, you would think that a prophet born with God's help would be the more important?

Islam honors all the prophets who were sent to mankind. Muslims respect all prophets in general, but Jesus in particular, because he was one of the prophets who foretold the coming of Muhammad. Muslims, too, await the second coming of Jesus. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah's prophets to mankind. A Muslim does not refer to him simply as "Jesus," but normally adds the phrase "peace be upon him" as a sign of respect.
No other religion in the world respects and dignifies Jesus as Islam does. The Quran confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Quran is entitled "Mary"), and Mary is considered to have been one of the purest women in all creation. The Quran describes Jesus' birth as follows:
"Behold!' the Angel said, God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and he shall be of the righteous. She said: "My Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: "Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, 'Be!' and it is." [3:42-47]
Muslims believe that Jesus was born immaculately, and through the same power which had brought Eve to life and Adam into being without a father or a mother.
"Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." [3:59]
During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. The Quran tells us that he said:
"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." [3:49]
Muhammad and Jesus, as well as the other prophets, were sent to confirm the belief in one God. This is referred to in the Quran where Jesus is reported as saying that he came:
"To attest the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." [3:50]

To answer the question: Yes.
Wiki says:
"Muslims believe in the virginal conception of Jesus by Mary (ar: Maryam), which is recounted throughout several passages in the Qur'an. According to the Qur'anic narrative, Mary had withdrawn into a temple and was visited by the "Spirit of God," commonly associated in Islam with the angel Gabriel (ar: Jibreel)."

Yes, they do.
it is basically the same. But the angel Gabriel is he who God ordered to... uh..... plant the seed? lol. i don't know any other way of saying it. i mean he didn't sleep with her -as she was a virgin- but it was he who put the baby in her (for want of a better term).
More emphasis is put on Mary then in the christian bible. it was her miracle that she could have a virgin birth.
