Muslims believe that Jesus (called "Isa" in Arabic) was a prophet of God and was born to a virgin, Mary. They also believe he will return to Earth. While Muslims respect and venerate Jesus as one of the greatest messengers of God, they do not believe that he is the son of God or part of the Trinity. Instead, they consider him to be a human being and a servant of God. The Qur'an re- affirms his miraculous birth and his miraculous abilities, and his mother, Mary, is regarded as one of the most pure and exalted women of all creation
. Muslims believe that Jesus' original message was altered, and they emphasize the monotheism of Jesus as emphasized in the Quran
