Le fabuleux voyage des pèlerins : à la découverte des étapes du Hajj !

Imaginez un grand voyage rempli d'aventures et de découvertes, un voyage où l'on se rassemble pour partager des moments de foi et d'unité. C'est un peu ça, le Hajj !

Le Hajj, c'est le pèlerinage que les musulmans accomplissent au moins une fois dans leur vie, s'ils en ont les moyens. C'est un voyage extraordinaire à La Mecque, en Arabie Saoudite, pour se rapprocher de Dieu et vivre une expérience spirituelle unique.

Mais comment se déroule ce voyage ?

Voici les étapes principales du Hajj, simplifiées pour les enfants :

1. Le sacralisation:

• Les pèlerins enfilent une tenue spéciale appelée "ihram", composée de deux pièces de tissu blanc simples.
• C'est le moment pour eux de se purifier et de se concentrer sur leur intention de se rapprocher de Dieu.

2. La circumambulation de la Kaaba:

• Les pèlerins font sept tours autour de la Kaaba, la maison cubique sacrée située au centre de la Grande Mosquée de La Mecque.
• Ils marchent, courent et parfois même font des prières pendant cette circumambulation appelée "tawaf".

3. La course entre Safa et Marwah:

• C'est l'occasion pour les pèlerins de revivre la course d'Hajar à la recherche d'eau pour son fils Ismaël.
• Ils courent entre deux collines, Safa et Marwah, situées près de la Kaaba.

4. Le stationnement à Arafat:

• C'est un moment important de réflexion et de prière.
• Les pèlerins restent debout toute la journée à Arafat, demandant pardon à Dieu pour leurs péchés et implorant sa miséricorde.

5. La lapidation à Mina:

• Les pèlerins jettent des cailloux sur trois piliers représentant les tentations auxquelles le prophète Ibrahim a résisté.
• C'est un symbole de leur volonté de se soumettre à Dieu et de rejeter les tentations du diable.

6. Le sacrifice d'un animal:

• Les pèlerins sacrifient un animal, généralement un mouton ou une chèvre.
• La viande est ensuite partagée entre les pèlerins et les personnes dans le besoin.

7. Le rasage de la tête ou la coupe des cheveux:

• C'est la dernière étape du Hajj.
• Les hommes se rasent complètement la tête, tandis que les femmes coupent une mèche de leurs cheveux.

Le Hajj est un voyage unique et inoubliable qui permet aux musulmans de vivre une expérience spirituelle profonde et de se rapprocher de Dieu.

Islam : Pourquoi et Comment se convertir à l’Islam ?

http://www.guidemusulman.com/islam-pourquoi-et-comment-se-convertir-a-lislam-469




L’Islam consiste à adorer Allah (Dieu) Seul, sans aucune autre divinité, idole ou intermédiaire. C’est le même message que tous les prophètes d’Allah ont délivré : « croyez en un seul Dieu unique, sans aucun associé, intermédiaire, saint, idole, statue ou quoi que ce soit qui puisse altérer cette foi pure ».
L’Islam est l’ultime révélation, celle qui a été apportée par le Prophète succédant au Messie. L’Islam ne renie pas les religions précédentes : elle les englobe.
Allah est le mot arabe pour dire « Dieu », ce n’est pas un « Dieu » arabe ou particulier, c’est Celui qui a créé l’Univers tout entier, c’est le Dieu de tous les hommes et de toute la création.
Allah est le même Dieu que celui de Adam, de Moïse ou de Jésus.
Dieu dit dans le Coran dit :

« Et lorsqu’Allah prit cet engagement des prophètes: « Chaque fois que Je vous accorderai un Livre et de la Sagesse, et qu’ensuite un messager vous viendra confirmer ce qui est avec vous, vous devez croire en lui, et vous devrez lui porter secours ». Il leur dit: « Consentez-vous et acceptez-vous Mon pacte à cette condition »? - »Nous consentons », dirent-ils. « Soyez-en donc témoins, dit Allah. Et Me voici, avec vous, parmi les témoins »

sourate 42 verset 13
Ainsi, l’Islam est la continuité logique des religions précédentes, et il est demandé à l’humanité de suivre à chaque fois le nouveau Prophète envoyé par Allah. Muhammad (paix et bénédictions sur Lui) est l’ultime prophète.
Le musulman n’est pas le dépositaire d’une religion qui lui est particulière.
L’Islam n’est ni une secte, ni une religion ethnique.
L’Islam était la même religion préchée par tous les précédents prophètes.
C’était la vérité enseignée dans tous les livres inspirés (par Dieu). Dans son essence; cela équivaut à une conscience de la Volonté et du Plan de Dieu, et une soumission heureuse à cette Volonté et à ce Plan.
SI QUICONQUE CHERCHE UNE RELIGION AUTRE QUE CELLE-CI, IL EST EN CONTRADICTION AVEC SA PROPRE NATURE, COMME IL EST EN CONTRADIC TION AVEC LA VOLONTÉ ET LE PLAN DE DIEU.
Pareille personne ne peut espérer de guidance, car elle y a délibérément renoncé.
L’Islam tolère les autres religions et ne contraint personne à devenir musulman, bien que la personne qui refuse l’Islam s’égare toute seule malheureusement.
L’Islam, ce n’est pas les musulmans : l’Islam est la religion parfaite révélée par Allah, les musulmans sont des êtres humains imparfaits qui essaient d’appliquer cette religion et à qui il arrive de faire des erreurs, des péchés.
L’Islam transcende toutes les barrières, les frontières, les nationalités, les couleurs de peau, les conditions de vie : en Islam, le riche prie à côté du pauvre, et peu importe leur richesse, ils jeûnent tous les deux.
L’Islam remet tous les compteurs à zéro, il vous donne une seconde chance. Peu importe ce que vous avez fait, qui vous êtes, tous vos péchés sont effacés, vous recommencez une nouvelle vie.
En choisissant l’Islam :

• vous êtes sous la protection d’Allah et obtenez ce que vous désirez après votre mort. Allah vous accompagnera et ne vous laissera pas seul, ni dans votre tombe, ni pendant votre jugement, ni après.
• vous êtes en conformité avec les lois de la Nature, avec ce qu’Allah a mis au plus profond de vous, car la Nature toute entière loue et glorifie Allah,
• vous obtenez un pouvoir : celui de l’invocation exaucée. Sachez qu’Allah répond à l’invocation de celui qui l’invoque quand il l’invoque. Si vous êtes sincère, toutes les portes s’ouvriront
• vous serez sous la protection d’Allah : personne ne pourra vous faire du mal, ou vous nuire, sans qu’Allah vous défende.

Allah, a dit: « Celui qui montre de l’hostilité à un de Mes bien-aimés, Je lui déclarerai la guerre. Mon serviteur ne se rapproche pas de Moi par une chose que J’aime, comme Il le fait avec ce que Je lui ai prescrit. Et Mon serviteur ne cessera de se rapprocher de Moi par les actes surérogatoires jusqu’à ce que Je l’aime; et, lorsque Je l’aime, Je serais son ouïe avec laquelle il entend, sa vue avec laquelle il voit, sa main avec laquelle il saisit et son pied avec lequel il marche. S’il Me demande, Je lui donnerai ce qu’il veut et s’il sollicite Mon secours, Je le lui accorderai. Et il n’y a pas de chose que J’hésite à faire, et que Je dois, cependant, faire, que de ravir l’âme de Mon serviteur croyant; il déteste la mort, et Moi Je déteste lui faire du tort ».

Pour devenir musulman, il vous suffit de croire en l’Islam, et de réciter cette formule :
Ash-hadu an lâ ilâha illa Allah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rassulu-llâh
Je témoigne qu’il n’y a pas d’autre divinité que Dieu, et je témoigne que Muhammad est son envoyé.
Nous vous conseillons de vous adresser à la mosquée la plus proche de chez vous afin d’être bien encadrés et apprendre l’Islam de manière saine.

Hajj - History of the Hajj- Guide to going to Mecca

Hajj - History of the Hajj- Guide to going to Mecca

Hajj
Once a year, Muslims of every ethnic group, colour, social status, and culture gather together in Mecca and stand before the Kaaba praising Allah together.







It is a ritual that is designed to promote the bonds of Islamic brotherhood and sisterhood by showing that everyone is equal in the eyes of Allah.
The Hajj makes Muslims feel real importance of life here on earth, and the afterlife, by stripping away all markers of social status, wealth, and pride. In the Hajj all are truly equal.
The Hajjis or pilgrims wear simple white clothes called Ihram. During the Hajj the Pilgrims perform acts of worship and they renew their sense of purpose in the world.
Mecca is a place that is holy to all Muslims. It is so holy that no non-Muslim is allowed to enter.

History

History of the Hajj

Four thousand years ago the valley of Mecca was a dry and uninhabited place.
Muslims believe the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) was instructed to bring his wife, Hajira (Hagar) and their child Is'mail to Arabia from Palestine to protect them from the jealousy of Ibrahim's first wife Sarah.
Allah told the Prophet Ibrahim to leave them on their own, and he did so, with some supplies of food and water. However the supplies quickly ran out and within a few days Hajira and Is'mail were suffering from hunger and dehydration.
In her desperation Hajira ran up and down two hills called Safa and Marwa trying to see if she could spot any help in the distance. Finally she collapsed beside Is'mail and prayed to Allah for deliverance.
Is'mail struck his foot on the ground and this caused a spring of water to gush forth from the earth. Hajira and Is'mail were saved. Now they had a secure water supply they were able to trade water with passing nomads for food and supplies.
After a while the Prophet Ibrahim returned from Palestine to check on his family and was amazed to see them running a profitable well.
The Prophet Ibrahim was told by Allah to build a shrine dedicated to him. Ibrahim and Is'mail constructed a small stone structure - the Kaaba or Cube - which was to be the gathering place for all who wished to strengthen their faith in Allah.
As the years passed Is'mail was blessed with Prophethood and he gave the nomads of the desert the message of surrender to Allah.
After many centuries, Mecca became a thriving city thanks to its reliable water source, the well of Zam Zam.
Gradually, the people began to adopt polytheistic ideas, and worship spirits and many different gods. The shrine of the Prophet Ibrahim was used to store idols.
After many years, Allah told the Prophet Muhammed that he should restore the Kaaba to the worship of Allah only.
In the year 628 the Prophet Muhammed set out on a journey with 1400 of his followers. This was the first pilgrimage in Islam, and would re-establish the religious traditions of the Prophet Ibrahim.



Guide to going to Mecca







Guide to going to Mecca
Pilgrim with his belongings ©

It's best to travel light, so only take essentials.
Many pilgrims fly to Jeddah, and then travel to Mecca by bus.
Once you get to Mecca, there are two rituals which you can perform; the lesser pilgrimage or Umra, and the main pilgrimage or Hajj.
The Umra is an extra, optional pilgrimage and does not count as the once-in-a-lifetime Hajj. Although it includes some of the rituals of the Hajj, they are shortened and there are fewer of them.
Most pilgrims who come for the Hajj arrive a few days before it actually starts and perform Umra first. Combining the Hajj with the Umrah is called a Hajji-Tamattu.

Being pure

To carry out the pilgrimage rituals you need to be in a state of Ihram, which is a special state of ritual purity.
You do this by making a statement of intention, wearing special white clothes (which are also called ihram) and obeying the regulations below.
The person on the Hajj may not:

• Engage in marital relations

• Shave or cut their nails

• Use cologne or scented oils

• Kill or hunt anything
• Fight or argue.

• Women must not cover their faces, even if they would do so in their home country.
• Men may not wear clothes with stitching.
• Bathing is allowed but scented soaps are frowned upon.

 

Umra

The Hajj is a real pilgrimage - a journey, with rites and rituals to be done along the way.
You begin at a place just outside Mecca called the Miqat, or entry station to the Hajj.
There you bathe, put on the Ihram (the special white clothes), make the intention for Umra and begin reciting the Talbiya Du'a (prayer).

 

Here I am at Your service, O Allah, here I am at your service! You have no partner. Here I am at your service. All praise and blessings belong to you. All dominion is yours and You have no partner.
Talbiya Du'a

Then you go to the Masjid al Haram and walk around the Ka'ba seven times repeating du'as and prayers. This is called the Tawaf. Afterwards you should sip some Zam Zam water.
Zam Zam water is water from the Zam Zam well, the sacred well which opened in the desert to save Hajira and Is'mail from dying of thirst.
Next you go to the walkway between the hills of Safa and Marwa and walk back and forth between them seven times.
This completes the Umra portion of the Hajj rituals and some of the Ihram restrictions are relaxed.

Hajj






Now make your intention for the Hajj and put on the Ihram garments again.
Travel to Mina on the 8th of Dhul Hijjah (a date in the Islamic calendar) and remain there until Fajr (dawn) next morning.
Then you travel to the valley of Arafat and stand in the open praising Allah. The heat of Arabia at midday provides a hint as to what the Day of Judgement will be like.
At the end of the day, travel to Muzdalifa for the night. Gather together 49 or 70 small stones together to use the next day.
In the morning you return to Mina and throw the stones at pillars called Jamraat. These represent the devil. Then a sacrifice called a Qurbani should be made in which a lamb or sheep is slaughtered and the meat distributed among the poor. After this, men's heads are shaved and women cut a lock of their hair.
Then return to Mecca and make a Tawaf (this is the ritual of walking around the Ka'aba seven times). Then it's back to Mina for 3 or 4 days, stoning the pillars each day.
Finally do a farewell Tawaf in Masjid-al Haram on the twelfth day of the month of Dhul Hijjah, ask Allah's forgiveness, make du'a and the Hajj is finished.
Many people then go to the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, but this is optional.
A man who has completed the Hajj is called a Hajji, a woman who has completed it is called a Hajjah.
At the end of the Hajj, Muslims from all over the world celebrate the holiday known as the Eid ul Adha or Festival of the sacrifice.
This festival commemorates the obedience of the Prophet Ibrahim when he was ordered to sacrifice his son Is'mail.
Ibrahim proved his love and devotion to Allah by showing his willingness to kill his beloved son if Allah wished it. In the end Ibrahim did not have to kill his son as Allah gave him a ram to sacrifice instead.

Comparing Jesus & Muhammad

Comparing Jesus & Muhammad

"The Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you."

[Bible - John 14:26]

Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "A messenger will come after me, named Ahmad."

[Holy Quran 61:6]

The chief priests and Levites asked John the Baptist, "If you are not the Christ (Messiah), and not Elijah - are you THAT Prophet?"

[Bible - John 1:20]

When the chief priests and Levites asked John the Baptist who he was, they asked him in a very strange way. First they questioned him as to whether or not he was the anticipated "Messiah" [Christ in Koine Greek]. He was not the "Messiah" that had hoped for. Next they asked if he was the prophet Elijah and again he tells them, "No." Now comes the really strange part. Finally, they asked him if he is "That Prophet?"

Are you Christ? - [No]
Are you Elijah? - [No]
Are you THAT Prophet? - [No]

What did they mean by "That Prophet?" We of course, know who the "Christ" is. After all, Christians should know that "Christ" is merely a shortened form of the Koine Greek word "christos," intended to mean the Hebrew word "Messiah."

The Jews of two thousand years ago were definitely looking for the Messiah, who it was foretold in their books, would come and lead them to victory over their oppressors and thus gain for them mastery over this world. They were much oppressed under Roman domination and even their own Jewish kings were seen as nothing more than puppets or agents for the disbelievers. Certainly, they would have been most happy to see someone come on the scene who would defeat their Roman masters and slave drivers.

Then the priests and Levites asked John the Baptist if he might be the prophet Elijah, returning back after hundreds of years being away. There was the notion amongst them that Elijah would come back. But again, John the Baptist is denying he is Elijah.

Then, who is he? They wonder at this man living out in the desert and forsaking wealth and luxury and fasting, avoiding the material attractions of life.

Again, they ask John the Baptist who he is. "Are you THAT Prophet?" And one more time he denies being "THAT Prophet," but then he does tell them about someone who will come after him soon, whom he claims he is not worthy to even unlace his shoes.

However, this does not answer the question, "Who were they expecting besides the Messiah?" Could it be they were looking for someone like Muhammad? (Could be)

Who is THAT Prophet? -

Keep reading and learn who "That Prophet" is and what other proofs can be discovered within the Holy texts to support this idea.



For centuries Muslims have believed Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, was "THAT Prophet" mentioned in these words of the Gospel of John. The Quran states one of the important features of Jesus' mission was to give the "bashir" or 'glad tidings' of the coming of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. During his short missionary career that lasted not more than three years, and which was overshadowed by the hostile attitude of his own people, Jesus gave them the good news of Ahmad, (one of the forms of "Muhammad") the last messenger of God, who would perfect the divine teaching both in theory and in practice. The Quran mentions that, Jesus says:

"O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah {Almighty God} (sent) to you, confirming the Law (Torah or Old Testament) before me, and giving glad tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad."

[Holy Quran 61:6]

The Quran gives the name as Ahmad, one of several ways to say Muhammad's name. Just as we have in English the name Joseph, and often use a shorter form such as "Joe" or the familiar form, "Joey," and other names like "Jonathan" which becomes "John"; "Jack" or "Johnny", so in the same way we find Arabic has similar forms for a name. Muhammad, Ahmad and Hamad are a few of the names originating from the root word, "hamd" (meaning 'praise) in Arabic, and can be understood as "The one who praises (God)"; "the praised one"; "praising"; etc.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali in his translation of the meanings of the Quran to English, he states, "Ahmad or Muhammad, the Praised One is a translation of the Koine Greek word Periclytos. In the present gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 and 16:7, the Greek word Paracletos is translated in the NIV as Comforter. Paracletos can mean an Advocate, or "one called to the help of another", "a kind friend." Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was known from birth as one who brought comfort and reconciliation to family, friends and strangers alike, especially in bringing together the ties of kinship and brotherly love.

Another nick name of the prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned in the Bible (or at least what is left of it in the English language) is "The Spirit of Truth." As-Saddiq means exactly that and it is was another name given to Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, by those who knew his proclivity for honesty and integrity.

The New Testament Gospel according to John, Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, promises them the Paracletos will come four times (John 14:16; 14:26; 15:26; 16:7). Naturally, Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, did not return in their lifetime nor did any other prophet for that matter, so later thinkers came up with the notion that it was not Jesus "in person" but rather, Jesus coming back in "spirit form." This led some Christians to assert, this was to be the Holy Spirit, who would descend upon the disciples on the Day of the Pentecost (Acts 2), to witness Christ and lead them into the whole truth and to be with the believers forever, and they would not die (John 3:16), but have everlasting life. Also, some added verses later (see footnotes to Revised Standard Version of the Bible) to the very last chapter of Mark (16), wherein, they have the Spirit coming upon them in such a way they imagined themselves going to be able to speak with new languages; pick up snakes, lay hands on the sick to cure them and even drink poison and nothing would hurt them. [Luke 23:17-18]

Another point is, the Paracletos, comforter or the Spirit of truth, was going to dwell with us from now on. Certainly anyone could see Muhammad's influence and his message of worshipping only One God without any partners has prevailed long after his earthly life.

More and More about him

Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was an illiterate but wise and well-respected man who was born in Makkah in the year 570 C.E., at a time when Christianity was not yet fully established in Europe. His first years were marked by the deaths of his parents. Since his father died before his birth, his uncle, Abu Talib, from the respected tribe of Quraysh, raised him. As Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, so that he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. His reputation and personal qualities also led to his marriage, at the age of twenty-five, to Khadijah, a widow whom he had assisted in business. Thenceforth, he became an important and trusted citizen of Makkah. Historians describe him as calm and meditative.

Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) never felt fully content to be part of a society whose values he considered to be devoid of true religious significance. It became his habit to retreat from time to time to the cave of Hira', to meditate near the summit of Jabal al-Nur, the "Mountain of Light", near Makkah.

At the age of 40, while engaged in one such meditative retreat, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) received his first revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for twenty-three years, is known as the Qur'an, the faithful recording of the entire revelation of God. The first revelation read:

"Recite: In the name of your Lord Who created man from a clot (of blood). Recite: Your Lord is Most Noble, Who taught by the pen, taught man what he did not know."

[Holy Quran 96:1-5]

It was this reality that he gradually and steadily came to learn and believe, until he fully realized that it is the truth.

His first convert was Khadijah, whose support and companionship provided necessary reassurance and strength. He also won the support of some of his relatives and friends. Three basic themes of the early message were the majesty of the one, unique God, the futility of idol worship, the threat of judgment, and the necessity of faith, compassion and morality in human affairs. All these themes represented an attack on the crass materialism and idolatry prevalent in Makkah at the time. So when he began to proclaim the message to others the Makkans rejected him. He and his small group of followers suffered bitter persecution, which grew so fierce that in the year 622 C.E., God gave them the command to emigrate. This event, the Hijrah (migration), in which they left Makkah for the city of Madinah, some 260 miles to the north, marked the beginning of a new era and thus the beginning of the Muslim calendar. During his suffering, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) drew comfort from the knowledge revealed to him about other prophets, such as Abraham, Joseph, and Moses, each of whom had also been persecuted and tested.

After several years and some significant battles, the Prophet and his followers were able to return to Makkah, where they forgave their enemies and established Islam definitively. By the time the Prophet died, at the age of 63, the greater part of Arabia had accepted Islam, and within a century of his death, Islam had spread as far west as Spain and as far east as China. It was clear that the message was not limited to Arabs; it was for the whole of humanity.



The Prophet's sayings (Hadith), are revelation. The number of sayings collected by his followers and scholars is close to 10,000 in total. Some typical examples of his sayings are as follows:

"To pursue knowledge is obligatory on every believing (man and woman)."

[Ibn Majah]

"Removing a harmful thing from the road is charity." [Bukhari, Muslim] "Those who do not show tenderness and love cannot expect to have tenderness shown to them."

[Bukhari]

"Adore Allah (God) as though you see Him; even if you do not see Him, He nonetheless sees you."

[Bukhari, Muslim]

Although Muhammad is deeply loved, revered and emulated by Muslims as God's final messenger, he is not an object of worship.

According to the Bible, God said to Moses, on whom be peace: I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. (The Holy Bible, New International Version, Deuteronomy chapter 18, verse 18). The prophet described in the above verse must have the following three characteristics: 1. He will be like Moses. 2. He will come from the brothers of the Israelites, i.e. the Ishmaelites. 3. God will put His words in the mouth of the prophet and he will declare what God commanded him. Let us see which prophet God was speaking of. 1. The prophet like Moses Some people feel that this prophecy refers to the prophet Jesus, on whom be peace. But, although Jesus (peace be upon him and all of God’s prophets and messengers) was truly a prophet of God, he is not the prophet spoken of here. He was born miraculously, and finally God raised him up miraculously. On the other hand, Muhammad is more like Moses; both were born in a natural way and both died natural deaths.

2. From among the Ishmaelites Abraham had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac (Genesis, chapter 21). Ishmael became the grandfather of the Arab nation. And Isaac became the grandfather of Jewish nation. The prophet spoken of was to come not from among the Jews themselves, but from among their brothers, the Ishmaelites. Muhammad a descendant of Ishmael, is indeed that prophet. 3. God will put his words in his mouth ‘Neither the content of the revelation, nor its form, were of Muhammad’s devising. Both were given by the angel, and Muhammad’s task was only to repeat what he heard.’ (Word Religions from Ancient history to the Present, by Geoffrey Parrinder, p. 472). God sent the angel Gabriel to teach Muhammad the exact words that he should repeat to the people. The words are therefore not his own; they did not come from his own thoughts, but were put into his mouth by the angel. These are written down in the Qur’an word for word, exactly as they came from God. Now that we know that prophet we must listen to him, for, according to the Bible, God says: ‘I will punish anyone who refuses to obey him’ (Good News Bible, Deut. 18:19). Jesus (on whom be peace) In the Glorious Qur'an The Qur’an tells us many wonderful things about Jesus. As a result, believers in the Qur’an love Jesus, honor him and believe in him. In fact, no Muslim can be a Muslim unless he or she believes in Jesus, on whom be peace. The Qur’an says that Jesus was born of a virgin, that he spoke while he was still only a baby, that he healed the blind and the leper by God's leave and that he raised the dead by God's leave. What then is the significance of these miracles? First, the virgin birth. God demonstrates His power to create in every way. God created everyone we know from a man and a woman. But how about Adam, on whom be peace? God created him from neither a man nor a woman. And Eve from only a man, without a woman. And finally, to complete the picture, God created Jesus from a woman, without a man. What about the other miracles? These were to show that Jesus was not acting on his own behalf, but that he was backed by God. The Qur’an specifies that these miracles were performed by God's leave. This may be compared to the Book of Acts in the Bible, chapter 2, verse 22, where it says that the miracles were done by God to show that he approved of Jesus. Also, note that Jesus himself is recorded in the Gospel of John to have said: ‘I can do nothing of my own authority' (5:30). The miracles, therefore, were done not by his own authority, but by God's authority. What did Jesus teach? The Qur'an tells us that Jesus came to teach the same basic message which was taught by previous prophets from God – that we must shun every false god and worship only the One True God. Jesus taught that he is the servant and messenger of the One True God, the God of Abraham. These Qur'anic teachings can be compared with the Bible (Mark 10:18; Matthew 26:39; John 14:28, 17:3, and 20:17) where Jesus teaches that the one he worshipped is the only true God. See also Matthew 12:18; Acts 3:13, and 4:27 where we find that his disciples knew him as ‘Servant of God’. The Qur’an tells us that some of the Israelites rejected Jesus, and conspired to kill him, but God rescued Jesus and raised him to Himself. God will cause Jesus to descend again, at which time Jesus will confirm his true teachings and everyone will believe in him as he is and as the Qur'an teaches about him. Jesus is the Messiah. He is a word from God, and a spirit from Him. He is honored in this world and in the hereafter, and he is one of those brought nearest to God. Jesus was a man who spoke the truth which he heard from God. This can be compared with the Gospel According John where Jesus says to the Israelites: ‘You are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God’ (John 8:40).
