YUSUFALI: Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East. Surah 019.016

He was no more than a messenger, and not the Son of God

PICKTHAL: O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One Allah. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender. Surah 004.171

Jesus in the Bible:

His Mother is Mary

Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. Luke 1:26-27

He was born of a virgin

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. Luke 1:34-35.

He is the Son of God, who takes away the sins of the world

call His name Jesus call His name Jesus... that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Luke 1-31b, 35b

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (From your sins) Romans 10:9

The Qur'an teaches that Jesus was just a messenger of Allah, and Jesus proclaimed the way to paradise is though obedience to Allah and His messenger Muhammad.

The Bible teaches that the way into paradise (heaven) is through faith in Jesus Christ, as the Son of God, who died for us that we might be forgiven our sins.

Choose this day which Jesus in whom you will believe.
