Quote:I recently saw a brief article which spoke of Jesus' birth, in fact vigin birth, in the Quran. Is this true? If so do Muslims believe in the virgin birth of Jesus? And as a follow-up...who do muslims think Jesus was?
<b>First Mention of Jesus (pbuh) in the Qur'an </b>
"And verily We gave unto moses the Scripture and We caused a train of messengers to follow after him, and We gave unto Jesus, son of Mary, clear signs, and We supported him with the holy spirit (angel Gabriel). Is it that whenever there came to you a Messenger with that which you yourselves desire not, you grow arrogant? Some you disbelieved, and some you killed" Al-Bakarah(2):87.
The Mission of Jesus (pbuh)
"And We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in their footsteps, confirming that which was (revealed) before him, and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light, confirming that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah a guidance and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil)." Al-Maidah(5):46
