The story of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) is mentioned several times in the Qurโan.
He and his mother, Mary, are presented as great role models to be loved, honored and imitated. So, Muslims believe that Jesus is a great Prophet who preached worshiping Allah alone.
The Qurโan mentioned the miracles of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) in different places:
#1. Miraculous birth: Jesus (PBUH) had no father
{When the angels said, โO Mary, your Lord gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, honoured in this world and in the next and one of those who are granted nearness to God.
And he shall speak to men in his cradle, and as a grown man, and shall be one of the righteous.โ
โLord,โ she said, โhow can I have a child when no man has touched me?โ [The angel] replied, โThus it is: God creates what He wills: when He wills a thing He need only say, โBe,โ and it is.} (Aal `Imran 3:45-47)
#2. The Talking Baby
Jesus, still a newborn, defended his mother when people spoke ill of her
{Carrying her child, she brought him to her people. They said, โO Mary, you have indeed done something terrible!
Sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, nor was your mother an unchaste woman!โ
She pointed to the child. They said, โHow shall we talk to someone who is a child in the cradle?โ} (Maryam 19: 27-30)
So, Baby Jesus (PBUH) responded:
{He said, โI am Godโs servant. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet;
He has made me blessed wherever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving throughout my life.
He has made me dutiful toward my mother, and He has not made me arrogant or wicked.
Blessed was I on the day I was born, and blessed I shall be on the day I die and on the day I am raised to life again.โ} (Maryam 19: 30-33)
#3. Breathing life into clay bird by Godโs permission
#4. Curing the blind and the leper
#5. Giving life to the dead by Godโs permission
#6. Knowing some hidden things
{I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I will make the shape of a bird out of clay for you and then breathe into it and, by Godโs leave, it will become a living bird.
And by Godโs leave I will heal the blind and the leper and bring the dead to life.
And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers. } (Aal `Imran 3:49)
#7. A heavenly food table
{When the disciples said, โO Jesus, son of Mary! Can your Lord send down to us from heaven a table spread with food?โ He replied, โHave fear of God, if you are true believers.โ
They said, โWe want to eat from it, so that we may satisfy our hearts and know that you have told us the truth, and that we should be witnesses of it.โ
Jesus, son of Mary, said, โO God, our Lord! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, so that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and for the last of us: a sign from You. Give us our sustenance, for You are the best of sustainers.โ
God replied, โI will certainly send it down to you, but whosoever of you deny the truth thereafter will be -punished with a punishment such as I have never meted out to anyone else in the world.โ } (Al-Maโidah 5: 112-115)
