Christmas, as everyone knows, commemorates the birth of Jesus and is a major religious celebration for Christians around the world.
But what many people don't know is that Jesus is an important figure in Islam, too, even though most Muslims don't celebrate Christmas (though some of us, especially American Muslims, do).
In honor of the holiday, here are six things you may not know about the role of Jesus — and his mother, Mary — in Islam:

1. Jesus, Mary, and the angel Gabriel are all in the Quran (as are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and a bunch of other Bible characters)

2. Muslims believe that Jesus (called "Isa" in Arabic) was a prophet of God, was born to a virgin (Mary), and will return to Earth before the Day of Judgment to restore justice and to defeat al-Masih ad-Dajjal ("the false messiah", also known as the Antichrist. All of which may sound pretty familiar to many Christians.

3. Mary (called "Maryam" in Arabic) has an entire chapter in the Quran named for her — the only chapter in the Quran named for a female figure. In fact, Mary is the only woman to be mentioned by name in the entire Quran: As noted in the new Study Quran, "other female figures are identified only by their relation to others, such as the wife of Adam and the mother of Moses, or by their title, such as the Queen of Sheba." Mary is mentioned more times in the Quran than in the entire New Testament.

4. Just as with all the other prophets, including Mohammed, Muslims recite, "Peace be upon him" every time we refer to Jesus.

5. Muslims believe that Jesus performed miracles: The Quran discusses several of Jesus's miracles, including giving sight to the blind, healing lepers, raising the dead, and breathing life into clay birds.

6. The story of Jesus's birth as told in the Quran is also the story of his first miracle, when he spoke as an infant in the cradle and declared himself to be a prophet of God. Here's the story:


And remember Mary in the Book, when she withdrew from her family to an eastern place. And she veiled herself from them. Then We [God] sent unto her Our Spirit [the angel Gabriel], and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man. She said, "I seek refuge from thee in the Compassionate [i.e., God], if you are reverent!" He said, "I am but a messenger of thy Lord, to bestow upon thee a pure boy."
She said, "How shall I have a boy when no man has touched me, nor have I been unchaste?" He said, "Thus shall it be. Thy Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me.’" And [it is thus] that We might make him a sign unto mankind, and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter decreed.
So she conceived him and withdrew with him to a place far off. And the pangs of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date palm. She said, "Would that I had died before this and was a thing forgotten, utterly forgotten!" So he called out to her from below her, "Grieve not! Thy Lord has placed a rivulet beneath thee. And shake toward thyself the trunk of the date palm; fresh, ripe dates shall fall upon thee. So eat and drink and cool thine eye. And if thou seest any human being, say, ‘Verily I have vowed a fast unto the Compassionate, so I shall not speak this day to any man.’"
Then she came with him [the infant Jesus] unto her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary! Thou hast brought an amazing thing! O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not an evil man, nor was thy mother unchaste." Then she pointed to him [Jesus]. They said, "How shall we speak to one who is yet a child in the cradle?"
He [Jesus] said, "Truly I am a servant of God. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet. He has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and alms giving so long as I live, and [has made me] dutiful toward my mother. And He has not made me domineering, wretched. Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I am raised alive!"
That is Jesus son of Mary— a statement of the truth, which they doubt.

Merry Christmas!

But Muslims failed to believe in the holy Trinity

Is the holy trinity biblical or is it not just a catholic invention?

IS THE TRINITY
REALLY IN THE BIBLE

By Dr. Michael E. Todd

Can it clearly be proven that God is three in one or a Tri-Unity? Many people in the world today say that the Trinity is not in the Bible and therefore reject this teaching and also that Jesus Christ is God.

Forget what someone has told you and look at the FINAL AUTHORITY the Bible and see for yourself. The Bible IS your final authority isn't it? Then you should not have a problem in looking up the following.

GOD THE FATHER,
GOD THE SON &
GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT
WERE TEMPTED IN THE WILDERNESS

What? You mean to tell me that all three were tempted in the wilderness? Well let's compare scripture with scripture and see just exactly what the Bible says about it, shall we?

The following three passages of scripture clearly show that God is three in one (a Tri-Unity).

1. THE LORD - (JEHOVAH GOD) - Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye TEMPT THE LORD? (Exodus 17:2)

Who did Moses say was tempted? Why the LORD GOD OF ISRAEL of course. Look at the context and see for yourself. Now take a look at this next verse and see what the Bible says about Jesus Christ being in the wilderness.

2. CHRIST - Neither let us TEMPT CHRIST, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. (1 Corinthians 10:9)

Did you notice that in the contexts the LORD in His word uses both the Father and Christ interchangeably in the above passages? Now hang onto you seat because the Bible not only uses the Father and the Son, but next comes another personage in the Bible
that was tempted in the wilderness.

3. THE HOLY GHOST - Wherefore (as the HOLY GHOST SAITH, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers TEMPTED ME, proved me, and saw my works forty years. (Hebrews 3:7-9)

NOW WHO WAS TEMPTED?

Why the Bible says,

GOD THE FATHER,
GOD THE SON,
GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Go back and read the above verses again. The Bible says, "Prove all things." (1 Thes 5:21) Don't just stand there.
Open your Bible and check it out!

NOW LET'S LOOK AT SOME OTHER PASSAGES THAT
CLEARLY REVEAL THE TRINITY IN THE BIBLE.

The Lord Jesus Christ gave us a command in how to baptize believers. Please note the following carefully.
Remember! Every word is important.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
NAME
of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost:
(Matthew 28:19)

Did you note that the above verse said, "in the NAME" (singular) NOT in the NAMES of ... (plural)? The reason the writer of Matthew said "NAME" and not NAMES is because he knew that God was a TRI-UNITY and not three separate people or things.
Go back and read the verse again.
And this time note clearly every word that is used,
and not what you just thought was there.

Many modern perversions (including the New World Translation) omit the following verse which clearly reveals God as a Trinity. Yet, from the clear statements above it is obvious that the Trinity should be there just as the Kind James Bible presents it.

For there are THREE that bear record in heaven,
the Father,
the Word,
and the Holy Ghost:
and THESE THREE ARE ONE.
(1 John 5:7)

As a matter of fact, many perverted bibles omit this verse and say that it should not be there. However, according to other verses in the Bible there is NO CONTRADICTION or misuse of scripture by the King James translators. The modern versions are WRONG including the New World Translation. The TRINITY (TRI-UNITY) is a Bible doctrine and God clearly reveals this in His word.

NOTE ALSO THE FOLLOWING PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURE
DEALING WITH THE TRINITY

FATHER - SON - HOLY GHOST
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven,
which said, Thou art my beloved Son;
in thee I am well pleased.
(Luke 3:22)

THE "WORD" IS MENTIONED THREE TIMES
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
(John 1:1)

SPIRIT MENTIONED THREE TIMES
HOLY SPIRIT - SPIRIT OF GOD - SPIRIT OF CHRIST

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit,
if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ,
he is none of his.
(Rom 8:9)

THE GOD HEAD
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Ghost,
be with you all. Amen.
(2 Cor 13:14)

TRINITY - FATHER, SON, HOLY GHOST
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard,
that the everlasting God,
the LORD,
the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not, neither is weary?
(Isa 40:28)

Thus saith thy Lord
the LORD,
and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people:
(Isa 51:22)

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Ghost,
be with you all. Amen.
(2 Corinthians 13:14)

No! you're exactly the very olodo...first and foremost if there are three persons (plural). .then there is no longer one God.

God the father is responsible for bringing the son of God and the holy spirit into the world, which clearly shows that they are not equal.

You're very far from Christianity if you think there is ever anything like trinity or three persons in God. there is but one God Yahweh! That precedes all things both in heaven and earth and beneath the earth.

Shalom Aleikhem!

I have read every single verse in the bible that people twist to arrive at the unbiblical trinity and I can tell that you have said nothing new and all your points are baseless.

Annunaki:
Sharrap what does an infidel like you know about God?

I know that he is One.

I really need for someone to show me where the Bible makes reference to
God the father
God the son and
God the Holy spirit.

Jesus.said, pray or baptise In the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit.

I have never seen God the Father, God the son.and God the Holy spirit in the Bible.
