A December 2019 Gallup poll found that the percentage of Americans who describe their Christmas celebrations as "strongly religious" has dropped to 35 percent. This is down from about half in previous measures in 2005 and 2010. Nonetheless, Christmas is celebrated by over 90 percent of Americans, which commemorates the birth of Prophet Jesus, God’s peace be upon him.
He is the central figure of Christianity, the religion of the European settlers who came to the country, and whose influence has defined American culture for over two centuries. What few Americans know is that he is important in Islam as well.
Is Allah Jesus? Here are 10 key things to know about Jesus in Islam:
- Jesus is considered a Prophet and Messenger of the One, All-Powerful God. Muslims offer words of prayer after saying his name, as they do for other Prophets and Messengers. In English, the phrase “peace be upon him” is a prayer seeking God’s peace for the Prophet being spoken of.
- Muslims love Jesus. We also love Abraham, Moses, and Noah, to name just a few other Prophets Muslims revere. May God's peace be upon all of these great Messengers of God.
- Muslims also love the mother of Jesus, Mary. We believe she was a pious and noble woman chosen over all of the women of the world. The 19th chapter of the Quran is named after her.
- Muslims believe that Jesus was born miraculously of a virgin mother and no father. His birth is miraculous like the birth of Prophet Adam, the first human being, who was created with neither mother nor father (Quran 3:59).
- Muslims do not believe that Jesus was the son of God (Quran 5:116). God is so Powerful and Self-Sufficient that He does not need a son or any kind of partner.
- In the Arabic Bible the name for God is “Allah”. Arab Christians call God “Allah”, as Muslims do. Prophet Jesus is called “Eesa” in Arabic (sometimes spelled “Isa” or “Eissa” in English).
- Jesus did not die on the cross. Rather, God saved him from his enemies and it was made to appear that he was killed (Quran 4:157). He was raised to Heaven.
- Jesus performed miracles by the Will of God, like healing the blind and those with leprosy (Quran 3:49).
- Jesus prayed to the same All-Powerful One God as all of the Prophets who preceded and succeeded him.
- Jesus will return before the end of the world.

I believe in Yeshua (Jesus) everything that Bible says
You say that Jesus Christ was born just the way Adam was born...for the sake of discussion i agree....(though I believe and will always believe in His claim to be SON of God..). Now my question is ??? We know the reason for Adam to be born that way... as he was the first human being....
WHY DID GOD MAKE JESUS TO BE BORN IN SUCH A SPECIAL WAY???
WE BELIEVE JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS AND ROSE AGAIN.... AND IF WE BELIEVE IN HIM, OUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN.... BUT FOR THE SAKE OF DISCUSSION WHY DID GOD KEEP JESUS FROM DYING LIKE EVERY OTHER PROPHETS...????
THIRD ...WHY IS GOD KEEPING JESUS TO JUDGE THE WORLD ON THE LAST DAY WHICH ONLY GOD HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO??? and the questions goes on and on and on since they are many....and all this makes me believe the BIBLE.
Greek Historian have approved the truth of Jesus's crucifixion...
Jewish Historians have approved HIS crucifixion
Pagan Historians have approved HIS crucifixion
Christian Historians have approved HIS crucifixion...
You may say that if Jesus is returning then how could HE have died... Well with GOD everything is possible...
But if you have to convince this to an atheist (a person who doesn't believe in God) ... how would you do it.....
PROOF.....

Religion
If Psalm 82:6-8 say I said, “You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
7:nevertheless, like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince.”a
8:Arise, O God, judge the earth;
for you shall inherit all the nations!
so why is Jesus not a son of God? after what happen to God creation,the love he has for his creation couldn't let God destroy the world but to find a way to save his creation from the jealous hand of the devil. so he has to intervene by coming to the world in man form which is Jesus Christ the savior of the world.

Question
I know that Muslims believe that Jesus is a prophet just as the other prophet. But what is confusing is that you cannot grasp Him being the Son of God but you believe that He is the only Living prophet who will one day return 🤔. Why is He the only one God chose to send back out of the prophets?
Returning of Jesus
Because according to the Quran, Jesus was raised up by god and will one day return. He did not die and is still alive.The Quran acquaints us with some events from the life of Jesus which have not yet happened. Thus, his second coming to earth is a prerequisite for these events to happen.

Why did he choose Adam to be the first human being, he could have given preference to his son over others. Father would never do that, and he'd never let anyone kill his only son brutally. Can you imagine what paid one had to go through, while getting crucified.
