Brief history of Prophet Isa (AS)

Prophet Isa (AS), known as Jesus in English, is an important figure in Islamic history. His story is mentioned in the Quran, particularly in Surah Maryam. Here’s a brief overview:

Prophet Isa was born to Maryam (Mary), a righteous and pious woman, without a father. His birth is considered a miraculous event by Muslims. Isa grew up in a caring and God-fearing environment.

As he matured, Isa was chosen by Allah to be a messenger to the Children of Israel. He performed various miracles, such as healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, and even bringing the dead back to life—all with Allah’s permission.
