Portal: Islam and the Judeo-Christian Tradition: Difference between revisions

Jesus (called 'Isa in the Qur'an, as opposed to Christian Arabs who call him the more accurate title Yasuu') is a primary figure in the Qur'an, and the Qur'an (from the perspective of a Christian heresy hunter) can even be said to have its own Christology. The virgin birth and mother Mary are extremely prominent in the Qur'an, with Mary getting an entire surah dedicated to her. The Muslim apocalypse cycle is also heavily indebted to the Christian tradition, and features not only the return of Jesus to judge the world but also al-masih al-dajaal, the imposter Christ or antichrist. The disciples, though mentioned in the tradition, make no significant appearance in the tradition which focuses rather on Jesus and Mary.
