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.

No
Muslims don't and never believe in a human as God , Jesus is only a prophet in Islam . Esa worshiped God and he was never a God nor son Of God , this would be clear idolatry

The word Allah from the Lips of Jesus
THE WORD ALLAH FROM THE LIPS OF JESUS
Matthew 27:46 - "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani." Sabachtani means "Tarak'tani" in Arabic which means LEFT ME. but the church changed it to make it a bit nicer and say "forsaken me" so the real translation of that verse should be:
" GOD, GOD, WHY DID YOU LEFT ME." Unbiased Christians will not fail to recognize in his Semitic language Jesus called God Eli, ELLAH, or ALLAH.
Spell it as you wish, but don't error and call it God, father or Jehovah. The Fact Is: In both Semitic languages Hebrew and Arabic "ABBA" mean FATHER. In a few other familiar example, SALAAM and SHALOM have the same meaning, AHAD and AAHAD mean one (as in #1) etc... In Mathew 27:46 Jesus didn't call the Creator "abba", nor does Eli sound anywhere near Jehovah.

REJECT
nope, Muslims worship the same God that you are worshiping but the only difference that u say that Jesus is the son of God but in Islam this is false and the bible was a book that Allah send to Jesus and it is called in arabic ENJEEL but some NON MUSLIMS NOR CHRISTIANS changed some things in it but anyways this is something that muslims believe in but every religion is different and Islam is a peaceful religion just like Christianity

These wars we are seeing is all from church leaders wanting control and power, take the religion out of all scripture because it doesnt exsist in ANY scripture at all, and study for truth

Because on the Day of Judgment, the heart, the ears and the
eyes will be questioned by the creator.
He will hold up responsible and ask did you not check your sources? Chapter 17 : verse 36. "And
follow not (O man i.e., say not, or do not or witness not, etc.) that of which
you have no knowledge (e.g. one's saying: "I have seen," while in
fact he has not seen, or "I have heard," while he has not heard).
Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will be
questioned (by God). (Holy Qur'an Chapter called: Isra, meaning the children of prophet Jacob. Add an eel at the end of it, it means trible, or in arabic qabilah. another evidence there is never been a land, country, or a nation on the face of the earth - ever. Not even at the time Moses, Jesus or Prophet Mohammed called Israel. ) http://noblequran.com/translation/surah17.html
