It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them. [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allah is over all things competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge. Surah Aţ-Ţalāq (65:12)

Messenger of Allah said, “Allah will make the path to the Garden easy for anyone who travels a path in search of knowledge. Angels spread their wings for the seeker of knowledge out of pleasure for what he is doing. Everyone in the heavens and everyone in the earth ask forgiveness for a man of knowledge, even the fish in the water. The superiority of the man of knowledge to the man of worship is like the superiority of the moon to all the planets. The men of knowledge are the heirs of the Prophets. The Prophets bequeath neither dinar nor dirham; they bequeath knowledge. Whoever takes it has taken an ample portion.” [at-Tirmidhi]

Uthman bin `Affan (Ma be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “He who performs the Wudu’ perfectly (i.e., according to Sunnah), his sins will depart from his body, even from under his nails.”[Muslim]

Allah’s Apostle (sallallähu alaihi wasallam) said, “The Day of (Judgment) will not be established till there is a war between two groups whose claims (or religion) will be the same.”

[Bukhari Book:56 No:805]

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “I wish that I could meet my brothers.” The Sahaabah asked: “Aren’t we your brothers?” He replied: “You are my Companions, but my brothers are those who will believe in me without having seen me.” [Sahih Al-Jaami #7108]

And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive (19:31)

Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak From the evil of that which He created And from the evil of darkness when it settles (113:1-3)

In Islam, Jesus was named as Isa. He was born as the result of virginal conception, a miraculous event which occured by the decree of Allah (The God).

Like all prophets in islam Jesus is considered to have been a muslim.
Muslims believe that Jesus will return to earth as he preached that his followers should adopt “the straight path” as commanded by the God. God would do miracles through Jesus. Jesus came with clear miracles like other prophets. That’s why he did not say to his people “I am God, Worship me”. There is no such verses in any part of the QURAN or bible.

But Jesus said to his people “worship Allah. My Lord and your Lord.” (QURAN 5:117).
So Jesus is not God or son of God. Allah (Who created Jesus and sent him to the people as a messenger) is the only God and Muhammad is also His messenger. But He is the last of all the messengers.

The Prophet used to stand (in the prayer) or pray till both his feet or legs swelled. He was asked why (he offered such an unbearable prayer) and he said, “should I not be a thankful slave.”

[Bukhari Book:21 No:230]

“SATAN”

Satan, the first jinn, was present with the angels when Allah ordered him and the angels to bow down in respect before Adam. Satan did not bow down in respect. He objected to Allah and said he was better than Adam, because he was made from fire whereas Adam was made from clay. Because of this objection, Allah banished Satan. Satan vowed that he would try to persuade humans into false belief and worship and shameful conduct. Allah promised that Satan and those who follow him will be the inhabitants of Hell on the Day of Judgment.

Satan is man’s accursed enemy and his vow to ruin many of mankind is not to be taken lightly. He attempts to confuse and ruin man by his prompting, making bad deeds seem good. A person is not sinful when Satan whispers to him; he is sinful if he believes and/or acts on the prompting. Although humans must believe that Satan exists and take the warning about him very seriously, we must remember that Allah has full power over Satan. Satan can do nothing against the will of Allah. When a believer of the true Religion strives to follow Allah’s orders and asks Allah for protection from Satan, he should not doubt Allah’s great protection and mercy.

“THE TRUE RELIGION”

There is only one true Religion–that of believing the correct belief in Allah and His messengers, worshipping Allah only, loving, respecting, and following the prophet of the time, and loving and respecting other prophets. Every prophet and messenger followed and called people to the same Religion; this Religion is called ISLAM. A believer in Islam is called a MUSLIM. The meaning of Islam is “to submit to Allah”. The meaning of the word Muslim is “one who submits to Allah.” The name Allah is the name of the only true God. Although prophets and messengers spoke different languages, what they called people to was the same Religion. A person can declare that he believes and follows the true Religion–Islam–in any language, for belief is known to Allah regardless of the language. Those who say they are Muslim, yet deny the true belief in their heart, with their tongue, or by some actions, are surely not Muslim. Allah knows fully who are the ones who truly believe in Islam. Both messengers Moses and Jesus called their people to the true Religion–Islam–which is clearly described in the QUR’AN–the last and preserved scripture for all of mankind on earth.
