Therefore it became necessary for God to become man in the person of Jesus Christ, who as the Son of God was sinless and unblemished. The Doctrine of Redemption is based on the Doctrine of the Original Sin: God had condemned mankind because of the sin of Adam and Eve, which was consequently inherited by their children. God does not have any children because He is above that. Muslims believe Jesus did not die on the cross, he only made people think he was and God saved him. On the contrary, these two religions have more in common than most people, both Christians and Muslims, are aware of. For example, both books testify that Jesus is Ð''The Word sent by God', was born from the Virgin Mary, and is sinless. When Muhammad revolted against the worship of idols in Mecca and told the people they should worship the God who created the heaven and the earth, he and his followers were persecuted, and about eighty of his followers were forced to go to a Christian nation. Christians know Jesus as the son of God, a Savior and Lord who died on the cross to take away all of our sins. On the other hand, Christians view Jesus as a God and live their lives in accordance of him.

According to the Holy Qur'an, Jesus was empowered by God to cure the sick, revive the dead, and make the blind see.
