The Disciples of Isa (Jesus)(AS) and Their Faith

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu.

Brothers, sisters, friends and elders, we welcome you to the 31st episode of the Islamic informative videos based on healing and incidents from the Holy Quran. In this video, we will described: The Disciples of Isa (AS) and Their Faith

The story of the disciples of Isa (AS) is a profound testament to unwavering faith, sacrifice, and dedication to the message of truth. In Islamic tradition, the disciples of Isa (AS), known as the *Hawariyyun*, were a group of devoted followers who supported and believed in his divine mission. They are often portrayed as individuals who were deeply committed to the message of God, embracing Isa’s (AS) teachings, which emphasized monotheism, justice, compassion, and moral righteousness. The Qur'an and Hadith literature speak highly of their steadfastness in faith, particularly during times of hardship, doubt, and persecution. Their relationship with Isa (AS) is seen as one of immense trust and loyalty, and their example has inspired countless generations of Muslims, teaching them the importance of dedication to God's path, even in the face of trials.

Isa (AS) came as a prophet to the Children of Israel, calling them to worship the One True God and to lead lives of purity, humility, and justice. His message, like that of all the prophets, was met with resistance by many. However, a group of believers, his closest followers, stood by him during his mission. These disciples were chosen for their sincerity and willingness to follow Isa (AS) no matter the circumstances. They were not just passive listeners; rather, they played active roles in supporting the prophet’s message. In fact, they often helped Isa (AS) to spread the word of God, performing acts of charity, teaching others, and defending the truth when others rejected or ridiculed it.

The Qur'an highlights the unwavering faith of the disciples when they were tested by both external threats and internal doubts. In Surah As-Saff (61:14), Allah praises the disciples for their loyalty and readiness to stand by Isa (AS) when others turned away from him. The verse reads: *“O you who have believed, be supporters of Allah, as when Isa, the son of Maryam, said to the disciples, ‘Who are my supporters [in the cause] of Allah?’ The disciples said, ‘We are supporters [in the cause] of Allah.’”* This passage underscores the disciples' commitment, as they were willing to stand firm in their belief even when faced with the risk of persecution and hardship.

The story of the disciples becomes even more poignant when considered in light of the events that transpired towards the end of Isa’s (AS) life. According to Islamic belief, after a period of intense opposition from the disbelievers, Allah protected Isa (AS) by raising him up to Himself, and he was not crucified as commonly believed in Christian tradition. However, before this divine intervention, the disciples faced a significant test of their faith. The Qur’an recounts an incident in which the enemies of Isa (AS) plotted to harm him, and his disciples were left to face the immense pressure of being associated with him. In these moments of peril, some of the disciples may have been tempted to abandon their faith or distance themselves from their leader. Yet, the majority remained firm, unwavering in their support for Isa (AS), trusting that their devotion to the cause of God would be rewarded.

This story illustrates the tremendous courage and perseverance of the disciples. They are often seen as a model for Muslims, teaching them the importance of standing by the truth even when it is difficult. The faith of the disciples, especially their willingness to sacrifice everything for the sake of God’s message, is a theme that resonates deeply in Islamic teachings. Their example is a reminder that true faith is not just about professing belief, but about acting upon it, remaining resolute in the face of adversity, and supporting God's prophets in their mission.

Furthermore, the disciples’ belief in Isa (AS) and their support for his mission were not limited to mere words; they were accompanied by tangible actions. They prayed, fasted, and performed acts of charity, following the ethical principles Isa (AS) taught them. They embodied the essence of selflessness and devotion, showing that faith must be translated into daily actions that reflect the teachings of the prophet.
The story of the disciples of Isa (AS) is a powerful narrative of steadfast faith, loyalty, and unwavering commitment to the cause of God. Their example offers valuable lessons in courage, sacrifice, and devotion to the truth.

With this, we want for your permission until tomorrow and pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the ability to act on the Quran and Hadith, Amen
