If they said: the Messiah is God
The Qur'an declares disbelief on those who say God is the Messiah, son of Mary, and records that the Messiah himself called the Children of Israel to worship God, his Lord and theirs.
-
If they said: the Messiah is the son of God
It is not befitting for God to take a son, exalted is He; the Qur'an describes this claim as so grave that the heavens almost rupture from it, and everyone in the heavens and earth comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.
-
If they said: the Messiah is the third of three
There is no god except one God; the Qur'an declares disbelief on those who say God is the third of three, and calls them to desist.
-
The miracles of Jesus: by God's permission, or because he is divine?
The Qur'an lists God's favours on Jesus and his mother and his miracles (speaking in the cradle, raising the dead, healing the blind and the leper) and ties these miracles to the words "by My permission", then the table God sent down at Jesus' prayer.
-
Did Jesus tell people to worship him?
On the Day of Judgement God asks Jesus whether he told people to take him and his mother as gods; Jesus disowns it: "I said nothing to them except what You commanded me: worship God, my Lord and your Lord."
-
If they said: the Messiah was crucified
The Qur'an states that they neither killed nor crucified him, but it was made to appear so to them; rather, God raised him to Himself.

Mary, daughter of Imran
Mary, daughter of Imran, who guarded her chastity, believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures, and was among the devoutly obedient.
-
If they said: we want the details (the story of Mary and the birth of Jesus)
From Surat Maryam: Mary withdrawing to an eastern place, the angel's glad tidings of a pure son, her pregnancy, and the birth beside the trunk of the palm tree.
-
How did her people react, and what proved her truthful?
She brought him to her people, who accused her; she pointed to him, and he spoke from the cradle: "I am the servant of God; He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet." That is Jesus, son of Mary, the word of truth about which they dispute.
-
My duty
What is my duty once I know the truth? To learn tawhid and creed, know God's names and attributes, spread tawhid, raise awareness, teach my children and those around me, hold fast to the religion and its constants, and honour the Prophet ﷺ; with verses from al-Naml, al-An'am and Sad on the Qur'an relating to the Children of Israel most of what they differ over.
