Does the Qur'an mention Jesus?

Yes. The Qur'an names Isa (Jesus) many times, honouring him as the Messiah, born of the virgin Maryam, a prophet who healed and raised the dead by God's permission. That shared honour is a good starting point for asking who he is.

Is it wrong for a Muslim to read the Gospels?

Reading is not the same as leaving your faith. Many Muslims read the Gospels simply to understand Jesus more fully. Here you can read privately, without pressure, and decide for yourself what you find.

Where should I start?

A short comparison of how Islam and Christianity see Jesus, then the Gospel of Luke, which tells his story gently from the beginning.

Come and See

I'm Muslim and Curious About Jesus

You are already closer than you may think. The Qur'an honours Isa (Jesus): born of the virgin Maryam, called the Messiah, a prophet who healed the sick and raised the dead by God's permission. If you have ever wondered who he really is, exploring the Gospels is a natural and honest next step. Nothing here asks you to leave anything behind today. Come and see who Jesus is, gently, in your own time.

A quiet word: Exploring another faith can be a sensitive thing where you live or within your family. Reading here is private. No one is notified, there is no sign-up required to read, and there is no pressure. You can simply read and think.
