The book you're asking about is "سيرة المسيح بن مريم عليهما السلام" (Sīrat al-Masīḥ ibn Maryam ʿalayhimā al-Salām - The Biography of the Messiah, Son of Mary, Peace Be Upon Them Both).
Understanding the Title: "The Biography of the Messiah, Son of Mary, Peace Be Upon Them Both"
This title clearly indicates a biographical work focused on Prophet Jesus (Isa), son of Mary (Maryam), from an Islamic perspective.
سيرة المسيح بن مريم (Sīrat al-Masīḥ ibn Maryam):
سيرة (Sīrah): Means "biography" or "life story."
المسيح (Al-Masīḥ - The Messiah): This is the Arabic name for Jesus, often translated as "the Messiah." In Islam, Jesus is a revered prophet and messenger of God, born miraculously to Mary.
ابن مريم (ibn Maryam - Son of Mary): This emphasizes his unique birth without a father, as highlighted in the Quran, and distinguishes him from any divine paternity ascribed to him by some other religions.
عليهما السلام (ʿalayhimā al-Salām): "Peace be upon them both." This is a standard Islamic supplication for prophets and refers to both Jesus and his mother Mary, indicating respect and reverence for both figures.
Therefore, the book aims to present the life story of Prophet Jesus, as understood and narrated within the Islamic tradition, drawing primarily from the Quran and authentic Hadith.
Expected Content of the Book:
"Sīrat al-Masīḥ ibn Maryam" from an Islamic perspective would typically cover:
Introduction to Prophet Jesus in Islam:
His status as a great prophet and messenger of Allah, one of the
Ulul Azm(Prophets of Strong Will).His significance as a link in the chain of prophethood culminating in Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
The Islamic perspective on his nature: fully human, a servant and messenger of Allah, not divine or a son of God.
The Islamic view of Mary: her purity, piety, and high status among women.
The Miraculous Birth of Jesus:
The story of Mary's purity, her seclusion, and the angel Gabriel's visit announcing the birth of a son without a father, as narrated in the Quran (especially Surah Maryam and Al Imran).
Her pregnancy and delivery.
Jesus speaking from the cradle to defend his mother's honor.
Jesus' Life and Prophethood:
His early life and upbringing.
His mission as a prophet to the Children of Israel, calling them to the pure monotheism of Allah.
His teachings: emphasizing the Oneness of God, sincerity, compassion, and adherence to the Torah while also bringing a new revelation (the Injil/Gospel).
His Miracles (
Muʿjizāt):Detailed accounts of the miracles Allah granted him, such as:
Healing the blind and the leper.
Bringing the dead back to life (by Allah's permission).
Creating birds from clay and breathing life into them.
Bringing down a table spread with food from heaven (
Ma'idat al-Sama').
Emphasis that these miracles were by the power and permission of Allah, not by his own divine power.
His Disciples (
Al-Ḥawāriyyūn):Their faith and support for Jesus.
Their role in spreading his message.
The Conspiracy Against Jesus and His Ascension:
The opposition he faced from some of the Children of Israel.
The plot to crucify him.
The Islamic belief that Jesus was not crucified but was raised by Allah to heaven, and someone else (often interpreted as a look-alike) was crucified in his place.
His eventual return before the Day of Judgment (a key eschatological event in Islam) to defeat the Anti-Christ (
Dajjal) and establish justice.
Comparison with other Traditions (Optional, depending on author's scope):
Some books might briefly touch upon the differences between the Islamic narrative of Jesus and those found in Christian scriptures, highlighting the Islamic perspective on his nature and mission.
This book would be valuable for:
Muslims: To deepen their understanding and love for one of the great prophets of Islam.
Non-Muslims: To learn about the Islamic perspective on Jesus and Mary, which differs significantly from Christian and other narratives.
Students of comparative religion: To explore the commonalities and differences in the portrayal of Jesus across faiths.
