Jesus (Isa) in the Quran:
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:87: "And We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of Messengers; We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit."
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:253: "Of those Messengers, We have exalted some above others; to some of them God spoke, others He raised to degrees (of honor); to Jesus, the son of Mary, We gave clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit."
Surah Al-Imran 3:45: "Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to God."
Surah Al-Imran 3:52: "When Jesus found Unbelief on their part he said: 'Who will be my helpers to (the work of) God?'"
Surah Al-Imran 3:55: "Behold! God said: 'O Jesus! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow you superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection.'"
Surah An-Nisa 4:157: "And [for] their saying, 'Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.' And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain."
This verse is significant because it presents the Islamic perspective on Jesus' crucifixion, emphasizing that he was not killed or crucified but rather it appeared so to the people. This differentiates Islamic beliefs from Christian teachings regarding the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
Surah An-Nisa 4:171: "O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a Messenger of God, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in God and His Messengers."
Surah An-Nisa 4:172: "Christ does not disdain to serve and worship God, nor do the angels, those nearest (to God): those who disdain His worship and are arrogant, He will gather them all together unto Himself to (answer)."
Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:110: "Then will God say: 'O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favor to you and to your mother. Behold! I strengthened you with the holy spirit, so that you did speak to the people in childhood and in maturity.'"
Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:112: "Behold! the disciples, said: 'O Jesus the son of Mary! Can your Lord send down to us a table set (with viands) from heaven?'"
Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:114: "Said Jesus the son of Mary: 'O God our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us a solemn festival and a sign from You, and provide for our sustenance, for You are the best Sustainer (of our needs).'"
Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:116: "And behold! God will say: 'O Jesus the son of Mary! Did you say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of God?'"
Surah Maryam 19:34: "Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute."
Messiah (Al-Masih) in the Quran:
Surah Al-Imran 3:45: "Behold! the angels said: 'O Mary! God gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus (Al-Masih Isa), the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to God.'"
Surah An-Nisa 4:157: "That they said (in boast), 'We killed Christ Jesus (Al-Masih Isa) the son of Mary, the Messenger of God.'"
Surah An-Nisa 4:171: "O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus (Al-Masih Isa) the son of Mary was (no more than) a Messenger of God..."
Surah An-Nisa 4:172: "Christ (Al-Masih Isa) does not disdain to serve and worship God, nor do the angels, those nearest (to God)..."
In our journey through life, we often seek guidance and wisdom beyond our own understanding. St. Mykul’s prayer is a beautiful expression of this desire, a heartfelt plea for divine intervention and alignment with Jehovah’s will. It serves as a reminder of the profound connection we can cultivate with the divine, allowing us to become vessels of His wisdom and love.
St. Mykul’s prayer:
“I pray for Jehovah to speak through me all the time, and I pray for Jehovah to remove all my thoughts, and implant His thoughts all the time, as I do not even want my thoughts.”
