According to Islam, Jesus (may the peace of Allah be upon him) is an honorable Prophet and Messenger of Allah (Exalted be He). He is also described as the Word of Allah, or Kalimatullah, because he was born through the miraculous power of Allah’s spoken Word [Allah’s Command “Be” and he was created]. The Quran affirms that Jesus brought divine guidance to humanity, preaching love and compassion towards all people. However, Islamic beliefs about Jesus differ from those of Christianity since Muslims do not view him as the son of Allah, nor do they believe in his crucifixion and resurrection. Rather, they believe that he was miraculously raised into the heavens before the disbelievers could harm him.
Moreover, Muslims hold that the revelation made to Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) completes and supersedes earlier revelations. They accept Jesus' teachings within a larger framework of Islamic monotheism. Therefore, when Muslims refer to Jesus as the Word of Allah, they acknowledge his prophetic status in Islam while underscoring his miraculous birth by the direct divine command “Be”.
