===Jesus=== {{Main article|Jesus in Christianity|Jesus in Islam}} Muslims and Christians both believe that Jesus was born to [[Mary, mother of Jesus|Mary]], a [[virgin birth of Jesus|virgin]].<ref name="Robinson 12">{{cite book|last=Robinson|first=Neal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ht1hpisBQF0C&pg=PA12|title=Christ in Islam and Christianity|date=31 July 1991|publisher=State University of New York Press|isbn=978-0791405598|location=New York|page=12}}</ref> They both also believe that Jesus is the [[Messiah]].<ref name="Robinson 12"/> However, they differ on other key issues regarding Jesus. Almost all Christians believe that Jesus was the incarnated Son of God, divine, and sinless. Islam teaches that Jesus was the penultimate and one of the most important [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|prophets of God]], but not the Son of God, not divine, and not part of the [[Islamic view of the Trinity|Trinity]]. Rather, Muslims believe the creation of Jesus was similar to the creation of [[Adam]] ([[Islamic view of Adam|Adem]]). Christianity and Islam also differ in their fundamental views related to the [[crucifixion of Jesus#Islam|crucifixion]] and [[resurrection of Jesus]]. Christianity teaches that Jesus was condemned to death by the [[Sanhedrin trial of Jesus|Sanhedrin]] and the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] [[prefect]] [[Pontius Pilate]], [[crucifixion|crucified]], and after three days, resurrected. Islam teaches that Jesus was a human prophet who, like the other prophets, tried to bring his people to worship the one true God, termed ''[[Tawhid]]''. Muslims also believe that Jesus was condemned to crucifixion and then miraculously [[Islamic view of Jesus' death|saved from execution]], and was raised to the heavens.<ref>{{cite book|last=Zahniser|first=Mathias|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VxAZBwAAQBAJ&pg=PT55|title=The Mission and Death of Jesus in Islam and Christianity (Faith Meets Faith Series)|date=30 October 2008|publisher=Orbis Books|isbn=978-1570758072|location=New York|page=55}}</ref> In Islam, instead of Jesus being crucified, his lookalike was crucified.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Surah An-Nisa' Verse 157 {{!}} 4:157 Ψ§ΩΩΨ³Ψ§Ψ‘ - Quran O|url=https://qurano.com/en/4-an-nisa/verse-157/|access-date=2021-06-25|website=qurano.com|language=en}}</ref> Both Christians and Muslims believe in the Second Coming of Jesus. Christianity does not state where will Jesus return, while the Hadith in Islam states that Jesus will return at a white minaret at the east of [[Damascus]] (believed to be the [[Minaret of Isa]] in the [[Umayyad Mosque]]), and will [[Hadith of Jesus praying behind Mahdi|pray behind]] [[Mahdi]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=7 Things Muslims Should Know about Prophet 'Isa (as) {{!}} Muslim Hands UK|url=https://muslimhands.org.uk/latest/2020/12/jesus-in-islam-your-questions-answered-in-quran-and-hadith|access-date=2021-08-15|website=muslimhands.org.uk|date=25 December 2020 }}</ref> Christians believe that Jesus will return to kill the Antichrist and similarly Muslims believe that Jesus will return to kill [[Al-Masih ad-Dajjal|Dajjal]]. Many Christians believe that Jesus would then rule for 1,000 years, while Muslims believe Jesus will rule for forty years, marry, have children and will be buried at the [[Green Dome]].<ref name=":0" />
