About this listen

 Jesus is revered by 4.6 billion people, representing 56% of the global population. Christians honor him as the Son of God. Muslims venerate him as a prophet born miraculously to the Virgin Mary. Yet most people have never explored how these two faiths view the same figure. In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, Dr. Daisy Khan sits down with Mustafa Akyol, author of The Islamic Jesus. They trace Jesus' life through both Christian and Islamic traditions. Mustafa reveals Jesus appears 93 times in the Quran with titles including Messiah (mentioned 11 times), word of God, and spirit of God.Discover archaeological evidence from a Byzantine church matching the Quranic account of Mary's birth story. Learn why a Catholic priest received death threats for stating Jesus was a Palestinian Jew. Hear about the empty grave reserved next to Prophet Muhammad for Jesus when he returns.
