(They say) "We make no distinction between any one of His Messengers.

(They say) "We make no distinction between any one of His Messengers." And they say: "We hear, and we obey, (we seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys."}52 Different prophets and messengers are sent to different nations and peoples to guide them to the truth, to better life here and in the hereafter, but they always carry the same message from the one and only Creator to the masses.

There was not, and there could not be any contradiction 51 The Holy Qur’an: The Family of Emran (3): 84. 52 The Holy Qur’an: The Heifer (2): 285. between the various messengers.

[John 16:12] However when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth; for He shall not speak from Himself, but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak; and He will show you things to come.

[John 16:13] He shall glorify Me, for He shall receive of Mine, and shall show it unto you. [John 16:14] As a complement to the above work, and to present the teachings of Islam and the holy Qur’an about God’s messengers in general and Jesus Christ in particular, the editorial board considered it appropriate, and for the convenience of the non-Muslim reader who is not familiar with Islam to include a section on statements made by Allah Almighty in the Qur’an about Jesus son of Mary.

This would give the reader an insight into the teachings of the Qur’an about Jesus. The following are some of the verses of the holy Qur’an about two noble mortals who are much respected in Islam.
