THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF PROPHET ISA (AS) JESUS: A Comprehensive Guide from Sunni Islamic Sources

Introduction In the name of Allah SWT, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I am a father of three children, entrusted with one of the greatest responsibilities a person can carry: the upbringing of young hearts and minds. Like many parents, I have often reflected on the kind of guidance I wish to provide my children guidance rooted in faith, clarity, and a deep connection to our tradition as Sunni Muslims. > When searching for information about Prophet Isa (AS), I repeatedly encountered a gap. The information was often scattered across numerous sources, difficult to follow, or presented in a manner that assumed prior academic knowledge. While there are many excellent scholarly works available, there seemed to be a need for a single volume that gathered the essential Sunni understanding of Prophet Isa (AS) into one coherent narrative. >Within these pages, you will find the story of Prophet Isa (AS), from his blessed lineage and miraculous birth to his prophetic mission, his miracles, his elevation by Allah SWT, and his promised return before the end of time. >This is not intended to be a scholarly encyclopedia. Rather, it is a doorway-a starting point for families, students, and readers who wish to understand one of the greatest Messengers ever sent by Allah SWT. >May Allah SWT accept this effort, forgive its shortcomings, and make it a source of guidance for all who read it.
