MUSLIM FUN FACT OF THE DAY: As I passed a sign that said "Jesus is the reason for the season" I thought about how many people have NO IDEA that Muslims love Jesus (PBUH) too! Jesus is a very important prophet in our faith. While Muslims do not believe in "the holy Trinity" or that Jesus (PBUH) was divine and "the Son of God" or that he was crucified and therefore a "Savior" -  let's focus on what Muslims and Christians DO both believe. Jesus (PBUH) was born from the Virgin Mary. Jesus (PBUH) is the Messiah of God. Yes, your read that right - Muslims believe he's the MESSIAH OF GOD. Muslims believe that Jesus (PBUH) will return to this Earth (meaning the Second Coming of Christ) and that he was risen to heaven (raised at the threat of harm, without crucifixion) and "sitting on the right hand of God," as it says in the Qur'an, until God chooses to send him back to His followers. One of the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) FIRST responsibilities when his destiny was revealed to him, was to RESTORE the name of the Prophet Jesus (PBUH) to a people who'd forgotten his name and were therefore oblivious to his teachings. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) constantly referred to the Prophet Jesus (PBUH) in this teachings, as well as all the prophets of God before the both of them, from Adam to Noah to Moses to Abraham (PBUT). Muslims believe Jesus (PBUH) cured the lepers, resurrected the dead, as well as other miracles that he performed with God's permission and power. Jesus (PBUH) was a shining example of how to treat the sick, the weak, the poor, and everyone mistreated by society. He was also a leading example in a lesson all humankind regularly forgets - HOW TO NOT JUDGE OTHERS! "God himself is the ultimate judge on the day of judgment/the day of reckoning," as stated in both the Bible and the Qur'an. Jesus (PBUH) is a beloved prophet of God in Islam and one cannot be a Muslim without loving and honoring him. Just another reminder that we are more alike than different. #OneLove #MuslimFunFactOfTheDay
