The story of Isa (Jesus) son of Mary

Allah tells us the story of Mary and her son Isa [Jesus] in the Holy Qur'an:

Holy Qur'an Chapter 19:Mary/ Verses 16-36

"Relate in the Book [the Holy Qur’an] (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East.

She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects."

She said: "I seek refuge from thee to (Allah) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear Allah."

He said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son.”

She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?"

He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord says, '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."

So she conceived him; then withdrew herself with him to a remote place.

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!"

Then (the child) called out to her from beneath her: “Grieve not, surely your Lord has made a stream to flow beneath you;

And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee.

So eat and drink and refresh the eye. Then if you see any mortal, say: Surely I have vowed a fast to the Beneficent Allah, so I shall not speak to any man today.”

And she came to her people with him, carrying him (with her). They said: ‘O Mary! Surely you have done a strange thing.’

"O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"

But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"

He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;

"And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;

"(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;

"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)"!

It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.

[Isa (Jesus) said] “And surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him; this is the right path.”

 Holy Qur'an [19:16-36]

  Allah clearly says that he is ONE and that no one should set-up partners with him. In the Bible there are similar accounts:

Exodus 20

 3 "You shall have no other gods before ^[a] me.

 4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.

 7 "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

 From these passages it is CLEAR that the Bible was centered around the worship of ONE GOD.

Don't call GOD a man! He is not a Human Being! He is the CREATOR of Human Beings! 

Allah addresses the people who changed the Bible and says,

Muslims do believe that Isa (Jesus) was sent down as a Prophet of Allah (God), but he (Jesus) is not God or Lord, nor the son of God. Muslims do not believe that Isa (Jesus), also known as Jesus by Christians and others, is dead or was ever crucified. We believe that he was raised to heaven and is there, and will descend at the appointed time, end all wars, and bring peace to the world.  Like Jesus (Jesus), Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is also a Prophet and Messenger. Muhammed (P.B.U.H.) is the last Prophet, though, and there is none after him.  Hence, Islam is the last religion, complete,  with the Holy Qur'an as the unchanged and perfect word of God for over 1400 years, as God promised to preserve it till the last day for all of humankind, unlike sacred texts of other religions which have mulitple versions and are "revised" periodically.  God, or Allah in Arabic, is Divine and Supreme Being and Creator.

What the Holy Qur'an says about Jesus:

 
"They slew him not, nor did they crucify him but it was made dubious to them."
(Holy Qur'an, Surah Nisaa, Verse 157)

 Isa (Peace be upon him) himself told of the coming of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). In the Bible, Jesus says,

  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.
(Bible, John 14-15/16)  

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.
(Bible, John 15-26/27)  

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.
(Bible, John 16-12/14)

 Jesus also says in the Bible,

  ... 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.
(Bible, John 16:16)

... and the Holy Qur'an says,

  "And surely they slew him not. But Allah (God) raised him unto Himself."
(Holy Qur'an, Surah Nisaa, Verse 157-158)
