AD (or CE)—is based on the approximate birthdate of Jesus. Jesus is also revered in Baha'i faith, Druze faith, Islam and Manichaeism. In Islam, Jesus (often referred to by his Quranic name ) is considered the penultimate prophet of God and the messiah, who will return before the Day of Judgement. Muslims believe Jesus was born of the virgin Mary but was neither God nor a son of God. Most Muslims do not believe that he was killed or crucified but that God raised him into Heaven while he was still alive.

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." Jesus Christ Since the early period of Christianity, Christians have commonly referred to Jesus as "Jesus Christ". The word Christ was a title or office ("the Christ"), not a given name. It derives from the Greek (Christos), a translation of the Hebrew
