Islam is the religion of all prophets. Muslims believe that all prophets were sent to people from God (Allah). They had the same mission and message: guiding people to the right path.
 
The three major religions, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, go back to Abraham. The prophets of these religions were directly descended from him, Moses and Jesus from Isaac, but Muhammad from Ismail. Prophet Abraham established the settlement which today is the city of Makkah, and built the Ka'bah towards which Muslims all over the world face when they pray.
 
The Holy Qur'an portrays of a good Christian:
 
And nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say: 'We are Christians': because among these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world. And they are not arrogant."
(Qur'an 5:82)
 
Muslims believe, that Jesus was one of the mightiest messengers of God that he was the Christ, that he was born miraculously without any male intervention (which many modern-day Christians do not believe today), that he gave life to the dead by God's permission and that he healed those born blind and the lepers by god's permission. In fact, no Muslim is a Muslim if he or she does not believe in Jesus!"
 
in the Holy Qur'an Jesus is mentioned twenty five times. For example:
 
"We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear signs and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit"
(Qur'an 2:87)
 
"O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary.
(Qur'an, 3:45)
 Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of god.
(Qur'an, 4:171)
 
And in their foot steps we sent Jesus the son of Mary.
(Qur'an, 5:46)
 
And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias: all in the ranks of the righteous.
(Qur'an, 6:85)
 
 
There is a Chapter in the Holy Qur'an, named Surat Maryam "Chapter Mary", named in honour of Mary the mother of Jesus Christ, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him;
 
"'Behold'! the angels said: 'O Mary! God hath chosen thee and purified thee, and chosen thee above the women of all nationsÝ
(Qur'an, 3:42)
 
"Chosen thee above the women of all nations." Such an honour is not to be found given to Mary even in the Christian Bible! The verse continues:
 
"O Mary! Worship thy Lord devoutly: prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down.
(Qur'an, 3:43)
 
 
If Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him was the author of the Holy Qur'an, then he would not have failed to include in it with Mary, the mother of Jesus, his own mother Aamina, his dear wife Khadija, or his beloved daughter Fatima. But No! This can never be. The Qur'an is not his handiwork!.
