* The genealogy of Prophet Isa (peace be upon him)

The Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, belongs to his mother Mary's family, because he was born by a divine miracle without a father. He is a prophet of God from the Israelites, and God revealed to him a heavenly book, the Gospel, and he is Jesus, son of Mary, daughter of Imran, descended from Prophet Solomon, peace be upon him, king of the Jews in Jerusalem before its destruction at the hands of King Nebuchadnezzar.

Imran, Mary's father, was a rabbi (i.e. a sheikh). He was a righteous man, and his wife was righteous, good, pure, loyal and obedient to him and her Lord, so the product of this blessed marriage was the Virgin Mary, peace be upon her, but her father died of illness while she was still a foetus in her mother's womb, so the Prophet Zakariya, peace be upon him, sponsored her, and she lived in the Palestinian village of Zipporiya. When the Prophet sponsored her, he took her to a shrine to worship in Jerusalem, and she was diligent in worship, so that when he passed by her in the shrine, he would find food, and he would wonder and ask her, "Where did you get this from, Mary," and she would answer him that it is from God, who gives whoever He wishes without reckoning.

* The Annunciation and Birth of Prophet Isa (peace be upon him)

Allah sent Gabriel, peace be upon him, to Mary, to tell her that Allah had chosen her among all the women of the world to give her a son without a father, and promised her that he would be an honourable prophet. She said to him, "How can she have a son when she did not marry or commit fornication?" He told her that Allah does what He wants: {The angels said, "O Mary, Allah has chosen you, purified you, and set you apart from the women of the world." * O Mary, bow down to your Lord, prostrate yourself, and kneel with those who kneel * This is a revelation of the unseen, and you were not aware of it. And you were not there when they cast their pens, saying, "Which of them shall be the guardian of Mary?" and you were not there when they were disputing * When the angels said, "O Mary, God will give you glad tidings of a word from Him. from Him whose name is Christ Jesus, son of Mary, a face in this world and the hereafter and among the near and dear ones * He will speak to people in the crib and as a child and among the righteous * She said, "Lord, how can I have a son and I have not been touched by a human being? No man has touched me." He said, "Such is Allah, who creates what He wills, when He decides a matter, He only says to it, 'Be and it shall be' * And He teaches him the Book, the Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel * And an Apostle to the children of Israel.}

The virgin Mary became pregnant, and when her pregnancy became known, no one's house was as anxious and sad as the house of Zakaria's family, who sponsored her, and heretics accused her of accusing Joseph, her cousin who worshipped with her in the mosque, of being the father of the child.

Mary spent hard times until she hid from people to a palm tree trunk in Bethlehem, when she went into labour and gave birth to Jesus. Mary was saddened by people telling her falsehood and wished to die, but Gabriel, peace be upon him, came to her and reassured her not to be afraid and that Allah Almighty had given her a river to drink from and to shake the palm tree trunk so that wet dates would fall on her, and to fast from talking if she saw any human being because it would be useless, Allah says in Surah Maryam: {So she conceived him and took him to a far off place * Then the labour brought her to the trunk of the palm tree, and she said, "O that I had died before this, and that I had been forgotten!" * He called to her from underneath her, "Do not be sad, for your Lord has made your bosom a secret. * And I will shake you with the trunk of the palm tree, and it will fall on you with fairy dust * So eat, drink, and rest your eyes, and if you see any of the people, say, "I have made a vow of fasting to the merciful, so I will not speak to mankind today.}

* Isa speaks in the cradle

When the virgin Mary awoke from her labour in Bethlehem in Jerusalem, she went to her people carrying Jesus, peace be upon him, and they accused her of obscenity and slandered her, and they accused the noble Prophet of God, Zakaria, peace be upon him, who was in the place of her father and sponsored her after the death of her father, and they wanted to kill him, so he fled from them and a tree split for him to hide inside it, but Satan grabbed the tip of his robe and appeared to them, so they spread it. When the people went to Mary to ask her about the lineage of her infant, she did not utter a word and pointed to the Prophet Isa in a threatening manner so that they would take the answer from him, so they said to her, "How do you want us to speak to an infant?" So God Almighty spoke the Prophet Isa to tell them that he is God's messenger to them.

Allah Almighty says in Surah Maryam: {She brought him to her people carrying him, and they said, "O Mary, you have brought a terrible thing" * O sister of Aaron, your father was not a bad man, and your mother was not a prostitute * She pointed to him, and they said, "How can we speak to someone who was in the cradle as a child? * He said, "I am the servant of God, who gave me the Book and made me a prophet * He made me blessed wherever I was, and commanded me to pray and give alms as long as I live * and to be faithful to my mother, and did not make me a wicked bridegroom. * Peace be upon me on the day I am born, on the day I die, and on the day I am resurrected alive * That is Jesus, the son of Mary, the word of truth in which they doubt * God could not have taken a son. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be and it shall be" * And Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him, and this is a straight path * So the parties differed among themselves, and woe to those who disbelieve from the sight of a great day }.

* Mary rushes to Egypt and lives there to protect Isa from being killed

The Gospel says that when Mary gave birth to the Prophet Jesus and became famous for his cradle talk, the King of the Jews at the time wanted to kill him out of fear for his king because of Jesus' prophecy, so Mary travelled to Egypt to take refuge there, and thus Christ survived death and Egypt was honoured to shelter him and his mother, the Virgin Mary, on its land for 12 years, until Jesus grew up and showed signs of dignity, and the Holy Family passed through many places in Egypt, including Matariya and Ain Shams, where there was a tree in which they shaded themselves from the heat of the sun. The Holy Family passed through many places in Egypt, including Matariya and Ain Shams, where there was a tree in this place where they were shaded from the heat of the sun, known to this day as "Mary's Tree", with a spring with water and he drank from it, and the Virgin washed his clothes in it, until the family reached the Drenka Monastery in Mount Assiut where there is an ancient cave carved into the mountain in which they stayed, representing the last stops of the family on their journey to Egypt.

* The message and miracles of Prophet Isa (peace be upon him)

Jesus, peace be upon him and his mother Mary, returned from Egypt to Jerusalem when he was 12 years old, then God decreed that the Gospel would be revealed to him to become one of the first prophets, who faced the hardship of spreading the call of monotheism in the people of the Israelites, and in order for them to believe in him, God gave him great miracles: he raised the dead by the command of God, created birds from clay by the command of God, and healed the sick, including the blind and the lepers.

God Almighty says in Surah Al-Imran: {And teach him the Scripture and wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel * And as a messenger to the children of Israel that I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I create for you out of clay the form of a bird and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by the permission of God, and that I heal the blind, cure the lepers, and revive the dead by the permission of God, and tell you what you eat and what you save in your homes, for that is a sign to you, if you are believers. what you eat and what you store in your houses, for this is a sign for you if you believe * And I am the believer of what is between my hands of the Torah, and I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me * God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him; this is a straight path }.

* The disbelief and stubbornness of the Israelites and their co-operation in killing Prophet Jesus

He healed the blind and the lepers and created birds by God's command, but these miracles did not deter them from their disbelief and polytheism, and the Prophet had a righteous group of supporters and helpers. When the Prophet Isa sensed their disbelief, he called on the "Apostles" to support the call, and ordered them to fast for thirty days, and when they completed it, they asked the Prophet to ask God to send down a table from the sky.

Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah: {Isa'iya Ibn Mary said, "O Allah, Lord, send down upon us a table from the sky that will be a feast for us for our first and our last, and a sign from You, and provide for us, and You are the best provider (114) Allah said, "I am the one who is descending it upon you; if any of you disbelieve after that, I will punish him with a punishment that I will not punish any of the worlds.}

The Israelites wanted to kill Prophet Isa, so they ratted him out to some kings, so they intended to kill him and crucify him, but Allah Almighty saved him from their hands, and threw one of the men of the Israelites with his likeness, so they thought he was Isa, peace be upon him, so they killed the man and crucified him, while Allah Almighty raised His Messenger Isa, unharmed, to the heavens.

Allah says, "When Allah said, 'O Jesus, I will raise you up to Me and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection; then I will return to you and judge between you in what you used to differ. * As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them severely in this world and the hereafter, and they will have no supporters * As for those who believe and do good deeds, He will reward them with their rewards. And God does not love the unjust * These we recite to you from the signs and wise remembrance * The parable of Jesus in the sight of God is like the parable of Adam; He created him from dust and then said to him, "Be and it shall be" * The truth is from your Lord, so do not be one of those who are disbelievers. Whoever argues with you about him after you have received the knowledge, then say, "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, and then let us pray, so that we may make the curse of Allah upon the liars.}
