 Jesus in Islamic Perspective

آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللّهِ وَمَلآئِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لاَ نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ وَقَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِير
The messenger believes in what has been revealed  to him from his lord and all believers believe in god and his angels and his scriptures and his messenger: we make no difference between any of his messengers and they say: we hear and we obey our lord…{1}

أَنِّي قَدْ جِئْتُکُمْ بِآيَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّکُمْ أَنِّي أَخْلُقُ لَکُمْ مِنَ الطِّينِ کَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ فَأَنْفُخُ فيهِ فَيَکُونُ طَيْراً بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ أُبْرِئُ الْأَکْمَهَ وَ الْأَبْرَصَ وَ أُحْيِ الْمَوْتي‏ بِإِذْنِ اللَّه
