When Jesus was only 40 days old, Allaah made him speak. This is mentioned in verses 30-33 of Surat Maryam. The words of baby Jesus were what means:
[I am a slave of Allah. He will reveal the Book to me and make me a prophet. He blessed me wherever I am. In the rules revealed to me there will be a special attention given to Prayers and Zakah. Allah has predestined that I will be kind to my mother and not a tyrant with a bad ending. Peace was on me the day I was born. Peace will be on me on the day I will die and on the day I will be resurrected.]
When Maryam's people heard that, they refrained from harming her or Prophet Zakariyya, about whom they had made ugly accusations. After baby ^Isa spoke these words, he did not speak again until he became at an age when children normally begin to speak.
Allah gave the Prophethood to ^Isa when he was thirty years old. Allah revealed to him new laws which abrogated some of the laws revealed to Prophet Musa
Prophet ^Isa, like all the prophets of Allah, performed miracles. Allah sent all the prophets with miracles as a proof to their prophethood.
One of the miracles of ^Isa is mentioned in the Qur'an in Surat al-Ma'idah, Verses 112-115 which tell about one time when Prophet ^Isa and the people who were with him reached to a place where there was not enough food for all the people with him.
The students of ^Isa asked him to supplicate to Allah for food which would come down on them from the sky.
^Isa made supplication to Allah and the angels brought down the food on a piece of material before the eyes of the people.
Hundreds and hundreds of people ate from that food, and there was no sign the food had diminished in quantity.
This miracle increased the belief of the believers. The blasphemers however, claimed ^Isa had performed sorcery on their eyes.
After his revelation, Prophet ^Isa lived on Earth for about three years.
When Prophet ^Isa was 33 years old, the blasphemers among the offspring of Israel plotted to kill him, but Allah saved him from their harm. Ibn Abi Hatim and an-Nasa'iyy narrated from the route of lbn ^Abbas that he said:
Prophet ^Isa was in session with twelve of his elite companions in a house.
He told them that some of them would blaspheme in the future.
Then he asked them, Who among you would volunteer to be made to look like me, be killed in my place, and be my companion in Paradise.''
The youngest among them stood up and said, I.''
Prophet ^Isa told him to sit, then repeated his same question.
Again, the same young man said, I.''
Again, Prophet ^Isa told him to sit, then asked the same question.
After the same young man volunteered for the third time, Prophet ^Isa told him <<you are the one>>.
Prophet ^Isa was raised to the sky from an opening in the ceiling of the house.
When the Jews came after Prophet ^Isa they saw that young man, whom Allah made to look similars to ^Isa. They took him, thinking he was Prophet ^Isa and crucified him.
Prophet Muhammad informed us that ^Isa will descend to Earth at a place on the eastern side of Damascus, with his hands on the wings of two angels.
He will meet a group of Muslims getting ready to perform the prayer, with the Mahdiyy as their Imam.
The Mahdiyy will ask Prophet ^Isa to lead them in that prayer.
However, ^Isa will ask the Mahdiyy to stand Imam for them- as a sign that Prophet ^Isa will rule with the rules revealed to Prophet Muhammad.
After this one time, ^Isa will lead the people in prayers because he has a higher status than the Mahdiyy.
After he descends, Prophet ^Isa will live for forty (40) years on Earth.
^Abdullah Ibn Salam said, It is written in the original Torah that Prophet ^Isa will be buried next to Prophet Muhammad.
