'JESUS' A MIGHTY MESSENGER OF ALLAAH
Islaam is the only other faith that makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus Christ, no muslim is a muslim unless he believes in Jesus.
Jesus was one of the Mightiest Messengers of Allaah,
he was born of a miraculous virgin birth,
he spoke in the cradle,
he healed the blind and the leaper,
he gave life by the permission of Allaah,
and he was risen upto the heavens alive,
he will soon decend on earth to kill the anti christ,
thereafter he will help us with the tribe of Gog Magog.

After his descension on earth, Hadhrat Isa (AS) will marry. He will have children, and he will remain on earth 19 years after marriage. He will pass away and Muslims will perform his Janaza Salaat and bury him net to Rasulullaah (Sollallahu 'Alayhi Wa sallam). (Tirmidhi)
QUR'AANIC STATEMENTS
003.084 Say:
"We believe in Allaah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord:
We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allaah do we bow our will (in Islaam)."
004.116 ALLAAH forgiveth not (The sin of) joining other gods with Him;
but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than this:
one who joins other gods with Allaah, Hath strayed far, far away (from the right).
035.015 O ye men! It is ye that have need of Allaah: but Allaah is the One Free of all wants, worthy of all praise.
019.088 They say: "(Allaah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"
019.089 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!
019.090 As if the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin.
019.091 That they should invoke a son for (Allaah) Most Gracious.
019.092 For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allaah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.
019.093 Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (Allaah) Most Gracious as a servant.
004.156 That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge;
004.157 That they said (in boast),
"We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allaah";
but they killed him not, nor crucified him,
but so it was made to appear to them,
and those who differ therein are full of doubts,
with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow,
for of a surety they killed him not:-
004.158 Nay, Allaah raised him up unto Himself; and Allaah is Exalted in Power, Wise;-
004.159 And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them;-
003.055 Behold! Allaah said:
"O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme;
I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection:
Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.
013.007 AND TO EVERY NATION THERE WAS (sent) A GUIDE.
005.072 They do blaspheme who say:
"God is Christ the son of Mary."
But said Christ:
"O Children of Israel! worship Allaah, my Lord and your Lord."
Whoever joins other gods with Allaah,- Allaah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.
005.073 They do blaspheme who say:
God is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allaah.
If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.
005.075 Christ the son of Mary was no more than an apostle;
many were the apostles that passed away before him.
His mother was a woman of truth.
They had both to eat their (daily) food.
See how Allaah doth make His signs clear to them;
yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!
061.006 And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the apostle of Allaah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of an Apostle to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "this is evident sorcery!"
061.007 Who doth greater wrong than one who invents falsehood against Allaah, even as he is being invited to Islam? And Allaah guides not those who do wrong.
061.014 O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of God: As said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) God?" Said the disciples, "We are God's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved:
WOE
002.079 Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from God," to traffic with it for a miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.
ONE GOD IN CRISTIANITY

31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
32 "Well said, teacher," the man replied. "You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.
33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."
34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.

CRUCIFICTION

"...and began to be sorrowful and very depressed. Then saith he unto them, 'my soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death'..."
"And he went a little further, and fell on his face (Exactly as the Muslim does in Salaat), and prayed, saying, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."
(This is the quality of a good Muslim who submits his will to the will of God).

and his sweat was, as it were, great drops of blood falling down to the ground''
Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34

One who submits his will to The Almighty Creator
Jesus (AS) Prayed to God, suffered in the path of God, lived according God's will, he will return to establish the religion of Allaah The Lord of The Worlds.
This makes him a Muslim!!

JESUS DISOWNS THE CHRISTIANS
The Fulfillment of the Law
Matthew 5:
17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
19 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
(How can ye be better by not keeping the commandments i.e worship one god)
Matthew 15:9
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
THE ROLE OF PAUL OF TARSUS IN SHAPIN THIS BELIEF AND THE BELIEF IN TRINITY
The notion of Jesus as son of God is something that was established under the influence of Paul of Tarsus (originally named Saul), who had been an enemy of Jesus, but later changed course and joined the disciples after the departure of Jesus.
Later, however, he initiated a number of changes into early Christian teachings, in contradiction, for instance, to disciples like Barnabas, who believed in the Oneness of God and who had actually lived and met with Jesus.
Paul is considered by a number of Christian scholars to be the father of Christianity due to his additions of the following ideas:
1. that Jesus is the son of God,
2. the concept of Atonement,
3. the renunciation of the Law of the Torah.
Paul did these things in hopes of winning over the Gentiles (non-Jewish people).
His letters are another of the primary sources of information on Jesus according to the Christian tradition.
The original followers of Prophet Jesus opposed these blatant misrepresentations of the message of Jesus. They struggled to reject the notion of the Divinity of Jesus for close to 200 years.
One person who was an original follower of Jesus was Barnabas.
He was a Jew born in Cyrus and a successful preacher of the teachings of Jesus.
Because of his closeness to Jesus, he was an important member of the small group of disciples in Jerusalem who had had gathered together following the disappearance of Jesus.
The question of Jesus's nature, origin and relationship with God was not raised amongst Barnabas and the small group of disciples.
Jesus was considered a man miraculously endowed by God. Nothing in the words of Jesus or the events in his life led them to modify this view.
The Gospel of Barnabas was accepted as a Canonical Gospel in the Churches of Alexandria till 325 CE Iranaeus (130-200) wrote in support of pure monotheism and opposed Paul for injecting into Christianity doctrines of the pagan Roman religion and Platonic philosophy.
He quoted extensively from the Gospel of Barnabas in support of his views. This indicates that the Gospel of Barnabas was in circulation in the first and second centuries of Christianity.
In 325 (CE), a council of Christian leaders met at Nicaea and made Paul's beliefs officially part of Christian doctrine. It also ordered that all original Gospels in Hebrew script which contradicted Paul's beliefs should be destroyed. An edict was issued that anyone in possession of these Gospels would be put to death.
The Gospel of Barnabas has miraculously survived though.

PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SOLLALLAAHU 'ALAYHI WA SALLAM) PROPHESIED IN THE BIBLE
Deuteronomy 18:18
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
Isaiah 29:12
And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, "Read this," he says, "I cannot read."
John 14:15-16
If you love me, Keep my commandments. And I will pray to the Father and He shall give you another comforter that he may abide with you forever.
John 15:26-27
But when the comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the spirit of Truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me, and he also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
John 16:
5 "Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
6 Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief.
7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
John 16:12-14
I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. How be it when he, the spirit of Truth will come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall speak not of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that he shall speak, and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine, and he shall show it unto you.
Ulema (learned scholars in Islam) have said that the person who is described by Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) to come after him - in the above verse - does not comply with any other person but Prophet MuHammad (Peace be upon him).
In this case, the "comforter" he mentions is none other than Prophet MuHammad (Peace be upon him) and his laws and way of life (Shariah) and Book (Holy Qur'an) are those that Hadhrat Isa (A.S.) asks his followers to abide by.
The "person" whom Jesus (AS) prophecised will come after him, is called Pargaleeta in the Bible . This word was deleted by interpreters and translators and changed at times to "Spirit of Truth" and at other times, to "comforter" and sometimes "Holy Spirit."
The original Greek and its meaning is "one whom people praise exceedingly." The sense of the word, then, is applicable to the word MuHammad in Arabic, since Muhammad means "the praised one."
Jesus (A.S.) also says in the Bible,
John 16:16
... and a little while and you shall not see me; and again a little while, you shall see me because I go to the Father.
Isaiah 42
The Servant of the Lord
1 "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations.
2 He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.
3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
4 he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope."
5 Thus says God, the LORD,who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it:
6 "I am the LORD; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you;
I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations...
10 Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants.
11 Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the habitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Genesis 25:13, "Ke'dar was the second son of Ishmael,"
"The ancestor of Prophet MuHammad"
STORY OF MARY (AS) MIRACULOUS BIRTH
019.016 Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East.
019.017 She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects.
019.018 She said: "I seek refuge from thee to (God) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear God."
019.019 He said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son.
019.020 She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?"
019.021 He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us':It is a matter (so) decreed."
019.022 So she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place.
019.023 And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: She cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!"
019.024 But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree): "Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee;
019.025 "And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee.
019.026 "So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man, say, 'I have vowed a fast to (God) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talk with any human being'"
019.027 At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!
019.028 "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"
019.029 But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"
019.030 He said: "I am indeed a servant of God: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;
019.031 "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;
019.032 "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;
019.033 "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!
019.034 Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.
019.035 It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.
019.036 Verily God is my Lord and your Lord: Him therefore serve ye: this is a Way that is straight.
019.037 But the sects differ among themselves: and woe to the unbelievers because of the (coming) Judgment of a Momentous Day!
019.038 How plainly will they see and hear, the Day that they will appear before Us! but the unjust today are in error manifest!

CONCLUSION
005.116 And behold! Allaah will say:
"O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allaah'?"
He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.
005.117 "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'Worship God, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things.
005.118 "If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servant: If Thou dost forgive them, Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise."
CONCLUSION
If Christian is a person who follows the teachings of Christ (pbuh) and not one who worships Christ (pbuh). We Muslims are more Christian than the Christians themselves.
002.163 And your God is One God: There is no god but He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
017.081 And say: "Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish."
017.111 Say: "Praise be to Allaah, who begets no son, and has no partner in (His) dominion: Nor (needs) He any to protect Him from humiliation: yea, magnify Him for His greatness and glory!"
023.116 So Exalted be Allaah, the True King, Laa ilaaha illaa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!
Surah 112 - Al Ikhlas THE PURITY OF FAITH
112.001 Say: He is Allaah, the One and Only;
112.002 Allaah, the Eternal, Absolute;
112.003 He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
112.004 And there is none like unto Him.
005.082 Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.
005.083 And when they listen to the revelation received by the Apostle, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: "Our Lord! we believe; write us down among the witnesses.
"Do you not know that accepting Islam destroys all sins which come before it?" (Saheeh Muslim)
It is reported on the authority of 'Ubadah Ibn As-Saamit (ra) that he said: "Allah's Messenger said:
"Whoever testified that:
"None is worthy of worship except Allaah, Alone, without partners, and that MuHammad (Sollallaahu 'Alayhi wa sallam) is His slave and Messenger and that EEsa (as ) is His slave and Messenger, and His Word which was bestowed upon Maryam, and a Spirit (created) from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are realities,
Allaah will admit him to Paradise, whatever his deeds might be." (Bukhari)
ISLAMIC TESTIMONY OF FAITH
Ash hadu al laa ilaaha illal-laahu
wa ash hadu anna muHammadan 'Abduhuu wa rasooluh
I testify There is none worthy of worship except Allaah
And MuHammad (Sollallaahu 'Alayhi wa sallam) is his slave and messenger
003.018 There is no god but He: That is the witness of Allaah, His angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise.
003.019 The Religion before Allaah is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of God, Allaah is swift in calling to account.
036.083 So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.
