Quoted from the "ISLAM REVEALED"


JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO ISLAM

JESUS HAD SUPERNATURAL KNOWLEDGE

 First, we look at Surat al-Imran (The Family of 'Imran) 3:49:

 Muslim scholars take two positions on this passage.  Some believe that from the beginning 'Isa (Jesus) learned hidden matters.  Saddi relates that while 'Isa (Jesus) was playing with the children, He told them what their mothers and fathers did.  he told one boy, "Your mother has hidden something for you," and the boy went home and cried until he received it.
 Another scholarly opinion holds "discernment of hidden matters to be miraculous."  Astrologers who tell the future and reveal hidden matters can only do so by questioning.  They also confess that they often make mistakes.  But knowledge of the unknown, without recourse to aids or previous knowledge, cannot be without inspiration.
 A second reference to Jesus' knowledge is in Surat Zukhruf (Ornaments of Gold) 43:57, 61:

 Al Jalalan explained the phrase "a knowledge of the Hour" as meaning that Jesus knew when the Day of Judgment would come.  If you recognize Allah as separate from his creation, in that he alone knows the times to come, you can comprehend the measure of distinction to which the Quran assigns Christ.
