I was recently send these quotes from one of the Reading Interfaith Group's Muslim supporters and thought they would be of interest to anyone who celebrates the birth of Jesus at this time of year.
" indeed Jesus was a righteous prophet"
"(when
people asked Mary about the baby in her arms questioning her modesty)
Mary (peace upon her) pointed towards the baby. The people said"How can
we talk to a child in the cradle?" but the newborn spoke," I am God's
servant. He has given me the Book & made me a prophet/messenger. He
has made me blessed wherever I may be, & has enjoined upon me prayer
& almsgiving throughout my life. He has made me dutiful towards my
mother, & He has not made me arrogant or wicked. Blessed was I on
the day I was borne, & blessed I shall be on the day I die & on
the day I am raised to life again." Such was Jesus( peace upon him) the
son of Mary.
Quran. Chapter name "Mary" Chap no:19 verses:29-34
