Jesus (peace be upon him) Was Righteous
"Behold! the angels said, 'Oh Mary! God gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him. His name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter, and in (the company of) those nearest to God. He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. He shall be (in the company) of the righteous... And God will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel'"(3:45-48)
He Was a Prophet
"Christ, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how God makes His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!" (5:75).
"He [Jesus] said: 'I am indeed a servant of God. He has given me
revelation and made me a prophet; He has made me blessed wheresoever I
be; and He has enjoined on me prayer and charity as long as I live. He
has made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable. So
peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I
shall be raised up to life (again)!' Such was Jesus the son of Mary. It
is a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. It is not
befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a son. Glory be
to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it
is" (19:30-35).
