Occurrences in the Quran
We gave MosesMusa the Book and followed him up with a succession of messengers; We gave JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you a messenger with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!
Those messengers We endowed with gifts, some above others: To one of them Allah spoke; others He raised to degrees (of honour); to JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam We gave clear (Signs), and strengthened him with the holy spirit. If Allah had so willed, succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (chose) to wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If Allah had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but Allah Fulfilleth His plan.
When she was delivered, she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!"- and Allah knew best what she brought forth- "And no wise is the male Like the female. I have named her MaryMaryam, and I commend her and her offspring to Thy protection from the Evil One, the Rejected."
This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Messenger!) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of MaryMaryam: Nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point).
Behold! the angels said: "O MaryMaryam! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ JesusIsa, the son of MaryMaryam, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah;"
That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against MaryMaryam a grave false charge;
That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam, the Messenger of Allah";- 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:-
O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on MaryMaryam, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.
In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of MaryMaryam. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of MaryMaryam, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things."
And in their footsteps We sent JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah.
They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is Christ the son of MaryMaryam." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.
Christ the son of MaryMaryam was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!
Curses were pronounced on those among the Children of Israel who rejected Faith, by the tongue of DavidDawud and of JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam: because they disobeyed and persisted in excesses.
Then will Allah say: "O JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'"
Behold! the disciples, said: "O JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam! can thy Lord send down to us a table set (with viands) from heaven?" Said JesusIsa: "Fear Allah, if ye have faith."
Said JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam: "O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a solemn festival and a sign from thee; and provide for our sustenance, for thou art the best Sustainer (of our needs)."
And behold! Allah will say: "O JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" 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."
They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of MaryMaryam; yet they were commanded to worship but One Allah: there is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).
Relate in the Book (the story of) MaryMaryam, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East.
Such (was) JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.
And We made the son of MaryMaryam and his mother as a Sign: We gave them both shelter on high ground, affording rest and security and furnished with springs.
And remember We took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from NoahNuh, AbrahamIbrahim, MosesMusa, and JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam: We took from them a solemn covenant:
When (JesusIsa) the son of MaryMaryam is held up as an example, behold, thy people raise a clamour thereat (in ridicule)!
Then, in their wake, We followed them up with (others of) Our messengers: We sent after them JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them: (We commanded) only the seeking for the Good Pleasure of Allah; but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet We bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious transgressors.
And remember, JesusIsa, the son of MaryMaryam, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "This is evident sorcery!"
O ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: As said JesusIsa the son of MaryMaryam to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed.
