Siraj Wahhaj - Jesus: A Prophet of Islam

About this lecture

In this lecture delivered at George Mason University, Imam Siraj Wahhaj — a former Christian — presents a comprehensive Islamic perspective on Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), drawing from the Quran and Hadith. He explores the deep respect Muslims hold for Jesus, the miracles attributed to him in Islamic tradition, the Islamic understanding of his birth, ascension, and expected return, and where Muslims agree and differ with Christian theology on his nature and role. The lecture is delivered in an engaging, interfaith spirit and includes a lively Q&A session with Muslim, Christian, and other audience members.
