he Qur'n is a large book in Arabic, a foreign language for most people in the world. Forthat reason, few people have an accurate understanding of all the different subjectscovered in the Qur'n. One of the most important subjects in it concerns the different

prophets God has sent into the world at different times. Of those prophets, one of whom the

Qur'n says a great deal is the prophet `s, son of Mary. Most people have heard his name andknow a few details about his life and work. However, few people have an accurate knowledge ofthe many and varied ways he is described in the Qur'n. For that reason, this study was prepared.This short booklet is intended to give the reader a clear and accurate picture of how the Prophet`s is described in the Qur'n. What follows are simply verses taken directly from the IslamicFoundation of the Qur'n. The goal is for the reader himself to gain a more accurateunderstanding about how the Prophet `s is portrayed in the Qur'n.`s (Jesus)
