As in Christianity, the Qur'an tells of the Annunication and the Virgin Birth. It acknowledges Jesus' prophethood and the status as a Messenger of Allah by bringing the Gospel, just as Muhammad brought the Qur'an. Something not mentioned in Christianity is the ability of Jesus, according to the Qur'an, to speak as a baby, "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live; (He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable; So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"! The 'raised up to life' is of course interpreted as the resurrection of all humans for the Day of Judgement. However, several miracles in common with Christianity are mentioned, "And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave." The Qur'an mentions that Jesus prophecized Muhammad and the people persecuted him because of this, and it states that Jesus avoided death on the cross, instead, he was 'raised up' to Allah.
