[[Islam]] holds '''Jesus''' ({{lang-ar|عيسى}} ''`Īsā'') to have been a messenger and a [[Prophets of Islam|prophet]] of God and the [[Masih]]. According to the [[Qur'an]], he was one of [[God]]'s (Arabic [[Allah]]) most beloved messengers, a precursor to [[Muhammad]], and was sent to guide the [[Children of Israel]]. He was strengthened by the Holy Spirit, another name for [[Gabriel]].

'''The Raconteurs''', also known as '''The Saboteurs''' in [[Australia]], are a [[Grammy Award|Grammy]]-nominated [[rock music|rock]] band, featuring four members previously known for other musical projects.
==Christian comparison==
In the Qur'an, [[Zachariah (Mary's Guardian)|Zachariah]] is [[Virgin Mary in Islam|Mary]]'s adopted guardian but in the Bible they are relatives. In both accounts, Jesus is born to Mary while she is a virgin. The Qur'an makes no mention of Mary's fiance, [[Saint Joseph|Joseph]]. Unlike in the Bible, Jesus performs several miracles as an infant and child.
 
According to the current definition, The Raconteurs qualify as a rock-and-roll [[Supergroup (bands)|supergroup]], featuring the songwriting of [[Jack White (musician)|Jack White]] of [[The White Stripes]] and [[Brendan Benson]], who are both from [[Detroit, Michigan]]. In the band's own words, however, they are not a [[supergroup]], asserting that the term implies something pre-planned, whereas they are actually "a new band made up of old friends."<ref name=MTV2>JH (2006). [http://www.mtv.co.uk/mtv2/music/article.jhtml?articleId=75132981 "Jack White and chums drop an album"] MTV2.co.uk (accessed May 18, 2006)</ref>
Jesus then goes on to teach, perform miracles, be rejected by the [[Children of Israel|Jews]] and ascends to heaven. See [[Similarities between the Bible and the Qur'an#Qur.27anic version 13|Qur'anic narration of the Jesus story]] for further information.
 
The Raconteurs are one of the few non-Irish bands to star in the popular web-cartoons of ''[[Eyebrowy.com]]''.[http://www.eyebrowy.com/animations/jackwhite1.htm]
Muslims [[Trinity in Islam|reject]] the mainstream Christian [[Divinity of Jesus|belief]] that Jesus was the [[trinity|Son of God]], regarding it as a blasphemous denial of [[tawhid]], the singularity of God. The Qur'an states repeatedly that Jesus was only a human.
 
==Members==
Muslims believe that God gave a [[Direct Revelation]] to Jesus, the [[Injil]], which is understood to be a book comparable to the [[Qur'an]]. However, some parts of it have been misinterpreted, misrepresented, passed over, and/or textually distorted over time. The [[New Testament]] no longer accurately represents the original revelation. Nevertheless, the Qur'an calls this book revealed to Jesus a light and a divine scripture and calls Jews and Christians to remain faithful to the book they do have. ({{Quran-usc-range|5|45|49}}).

==EtymologyBiography==
===Formation===
The name Jesus is derived from the Latin ''Iēsus'', which in turn comes from the Greek {{Polytonic|Ἰησοῦς}} (Iēsoûs). The Greek is a Hellenized form of the Aramaic name Yēšua (&#1497;&#1513;&#1493;&#1506;), a short form of Hebrew Y<SUP>e</SUP>hōšua (&#1497;&#1492;&#1493;&#1513;&#1506;). ''Isa'' is also a given name for Arab Muslim men, equivalent to ''Jesus'' (a name given in many Christian cultures for male children). Y<SUP>e</SUP>hōšua (&#1497;&#1492;&#1493;&#1513;&#1506;) is the name by which [[Moses]] called his successor as leader of the [[Israelite]]s, known in English as [[Joshua]]; it means 'the Lord is salvation', or literally '[[Yahweh]] saves'. Some claim the Arabic name Isa is related to the biblical [[Esau]], but it is also similar in the vowels to the [[Aramaic language|Aramaic]] version of Jesus, viz. ''Eesho'' (Aramaic forms of the name, however, still have the voiced [[pharyngeal]] `Ayn consonant at the end of the name). Arabic-speaking Christians refer to Jesus as Isa or ''Yasu`a,'' which is the same name as Joshua. Persian-speaking Christians refer to Jesus as Isa.
According to the official website, "The seed was sown in an attic in the middle of a hot summer when friends Jack White and Brendan Benson got together and wrote a song that truly inspired them. This song was "[[Steady, As She Goes]]" and the inspiration led to the creation of a full band with the addition of Lawrence and Keeler."
The band came together in Detroit during 2005 and recorded when time allowed for the remainder of the year.
 
==="Steady, As She Goes"===
==Jesus's birth==
"[[Steady, As She Goes|Steady, As She Goes/Store Bought Bones]]" was released as a limited-edition 7-inch, 45 rpm vinyl record in Europe on [[January 30]], [[2006]],<ref name="NMEfirstsingle">[http://www.nme.com/news/white-stripes/22043 The Raconteurs confirm first single], ''[[NME]]'', [[2006-01-24]]</ref> and in North America on [[March 7]], [[2006]]. A CD version of "Steady, as She Goes" was released on [[April 24]], [[2006]], with the B-side "Bane Rendition."
Muslims believe in the virgin birth of Jesus through Mary, which is recounted throughout several passages in the Qur'an. In the Qur'anic story an angel appears before Mary to announce her the gift of a holy son. Mary is surprised and answers the angel that she is virgin. The angel replies "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us':It is a matter (so) decreed...when He determines a matter, He only says to it, 'Be', and it is." ({{Quran-usc|19|21}}, {{Quran-usc|19|35}}) The Qur'an rejects the idea that virgin birth implies that Jesus is divine. [[Sahih Bukhari]] records that [[John the baptist#islamic viewpoint|John]] was a cousin to Jesus.<ref>[[Sahih Bukhari]] [http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/055.sbt.html#004.055.640 4.55.640]</ref>
 
The video for "Steady As She Goes," directed by [[Jim Jarmusch]], premiered on [[MTV2 Europe|MTV2]] on [[March 10]], [[2006]]. It was also available for streaming on the band's website. An alternate video, featuring the band racing each other in a soap box derby, with a rare appearance from [[Paul Reubens]] as the bad guy out to sabotage the race, premiered exclusively on [[Yahoo! Music]] [[June 19]], [[2006]].
Soon after his birth, Jesus speaks as an infant to defend Mary from accusations of adultery. Two other infants are noted to have spoken as infants. <ref>[[Sahih Bukhari]] [http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/055.sbt.html#004.055.645 4.55.645] </ref>
 
''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' ran an article discussing how the song has the exact same bassline as [[Joe Jackson (musician)|Joe Jackson]]'s "[[Is She Really Going Out With Him?]]".<ref name="Copy">{{Cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/commentary/0,6115,1204700_4_0_,00.html|title=Do You Copy?|accessdate=2006-09-24|year=2006}}</ref>

The closing seconds of the track have been used to close "Saturday Live" on BBC Radio 4, generating a lot of interest as to what the song is.
Other relevant verses from the Qur'an:
 
===''Broken Boy Soldiers''===
:"And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples." {{Quran-usc|21|91}}
 
The Raconteurs' full-length debut, titled ''[[Broken Boy Soldiers]]'', was released on [[May 15]], [[2006]] in the UK on Third Man Recordings/XL Recordings and May 16 in the US on Third Man Recordings/V2 Records. It entered the UK charts at #2 and the US charts at #7. The album was recorded at Brendan Benson's in-home studio located in Detroit.
Other references in [[hadith]] are
 
On [[November 3]], [[2006]], the Raconteurs performed 'Broken Boy Soldier' and 'Store Bought Bones' on [[Later with Jools Holland]]. According to reporters from ''[[Planet Sound]]'' who attended the show taping, during 'Store Bought Bones' Jack White's guitar broke down and they had to re-play the song. This eventually happened four times, with the band breaking up in laughter by the 4th take. The TV airing used edited pieces from all four performances and cut out any laughter.
:When any human being is born. Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers, except Jesus, the son of Mary, whom Satan tried to touch but failed, for he touched the placenta-cover instead. [[Sahih Bukhari]] [http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/054.sbt.html#004.054.506 4.54.506]
 
In December 2006, Broken Boy Soldiers was awarded the title Album of the Year by Britain's Mojo magazine.[http://www.albumofthemonth.com/mojo2006.html]
==Isa not God nor the Son of God==
Muslims do not believe Isa is Allah (God), nor was he the [[Son of God]] but only human; this differs from [[Christianity]], which believes Jesus is both human and God.
 
Recently, The Raconteurs have been nominated for two [[Grammy Awards]]: One for [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Album|Best Rock Album]] (for ''Broken Boy Soldiers''), and another for [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal|Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal]] (for "Steady as She Goes").<ref> GRAMMY.COM - 49th Annual Grammy Awards Nominee List, http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/49th_Show/list.aspx</ref>
There is confusion that the sonship of God and divinity are the same in the [[Bible]]. In the Bible, sonship of God signals a special relationship with God. According to [[First Epistle of John | 1 John]] [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20john%203.1;&version=51; 3.1a], all Christians are children of God and in [[Book of Exodus | Exodus]] 4:22 the nation of Israel is the son of God. This is not a physical relationship but a metaphor for a spiritual relationship.
 
===Future Plans===
However, the Qur'an seems to understand "son of God" as a physical relationship. This idea neccessitates that Allah was a physical being and required a woman, [[Mary, mother of Jesus | Mary]], to have a son. Allah is believed to be neither physical nor requiring any help. The Qur'an may have either referred to Christian heretics or misunderstood the Bible.
 
The band is currently recording songs for their next album at Blackbird Studios in [[Nashville, Tennessee]]. They have twelve songs written, and plan on releasing the album in 2008.<ref> Billboard.com "Raconteurs In The Thick Of Recording New Album",http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003575716</ref>
:How could it be that (Allah) should have a child without there ever having been a mate for Him - since it is He who has created everything, and He alone knows everything? Qur'an 6:101
 
The Raconteurs have also recorded a new song called "Footsteps" with [[The Hives]], probably slated to be on the new album. "5 on the 5," a song the band played live, is likely to be on the album.
The Qur'an may also reject the title "Son of God" because it implies that Jesus is the greatest of the prophets (saying ''the son'' instead of ''a'' son) whereas Muhammad is the greatest prophet in Islam. It also carries a conotation of greatness similar to Allah and Islam greatly seperates the status of humans from the status of Allah.
 
Along with those tracks, it's possible one of the many covers the band played live (or an entirely different one) will be on the album.
However, Muslim theologians still prove that that the sonship of God is not equialent with divinity. For example Bible refers to earlier (non-divine) figures such as [[David]] (Psalm 2:7) or Israel personalized (Exodus 4:22-23, Deuteronomy 14:1, Hosea 11:1-2 etc.) as "son of God." However, according to Christian theologians the title of "son of God" in Psalm 2:7 for example, does not refer to David because David died and next verses in this Psalm mention that every nation will belong and shall give him honour to the person with the title "son of God". They also note the Qur'an states that although Isa was born miraculously without a human biological father, this does not imply that he is the Son of God by nature since when God wills something he says to it "Be" and it is.
 
Other possibilities would be one of the leaked Brendan Benson demos. One reason for this was that both "Call It A Day" and "Together" were supposed to be on a solo album of his, as well as "Store Bought Bones" which was supposed to be a [[Get Behind Me Satan]] song. If a demo of his appeared on the new album, it would be likely to be "Feel Like Taking You Home Now" since critics have pointed out a Raconteurs influence.
==Jesus neither crucified nor killed==
The following passage may appear to some to say that the Qur'an differs from the Gospels in stating that Jesus was neither crucified nor killed:
 
Also, the title "Monkeys Have It Easy" was placed on the White Stripes site in the press release for [[Icky Thump]] with "discarded" after it. It's unlikely, but the song could be a new Raconteurs song now.
:"That they said (in boast), 'We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah';- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:- Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;-" ({{Quran-usc-range|4|157|158}})
 
The band recorded for a three week period before they prepared for individual releases with their other bands, though Jack said they might not finish by then.
The Qur'anic passage above, together with the quotes attributed to Muhammad, is understood by most Muslims to mean that Jesus was not killed or crucified, but instead was raised into [[Heaven]] and remains there awaiting the time appointed by God to descend back to earth and live out his natural life. A minority interpretation of the verse holds similarly that Jesus was not executed by his enemies, but only appeared to be so, and that he was subsequently "raised" (in status and honor) by God. In this minority interpretation, no ascent to [[Heaven]] by Jesus is described in the Qur'an (see above). This position is similar to [[docetism|docetic]] [[Christology]], and, again, to that of the Ahmadi.
 
==Discography==
The [[Ahmadiyya]] Community hold an entirely different view: that Jesus was crucified, but survived and subsequently migrated to Kashmir, where he took the name [[Yuz Asaf]]. Mainstream Muslims consider these views heretical.

They have also released live performance albums in limited quantities at their respective concerts.
{{bibleverse||Matthew|28:12-15|31}} provides the reasoning behind such "not crucified at all" beliefs:
 
===Singles===
:"When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, 'You are to say, "His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep." If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.' So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day."

==Live performances==
Some Muslim scholars, notably [[Ahmad Deedat]], share the Ahmadiya view that Jesus was hung on the cross but survived it (swoon theory) but then ascended bodily to heaven, while others say that it was actually Judas who was mistakenly crucified by the Romans. [[Thomas McElwain]] states that the context of the verse is clearly within the discussion of Jewish ridicule of Christians, not in context of whether or not Jesus died. He continues that the text could be interpreted as denying the death of Jesus at the hands of Jews rather than denying his death. He however adds that "the expressions against the crucifixion are strong, so that to interpret the meaning for Romans rather than Jews to have committed the act is also suspect" and that if this meaning is correct, "it would have been more effective to state that the Romans killed Jesus, rather than to empha­sise that the Jews were not in possession of the facts."
The Raconteurs first performed live at the Academy in [[Liverpool]], [[United Kingdom|U.K.]], on [[March 20]], [[2006]], launching a short British tour. Their first American date was the next month, on [[April 20]] at [[New York City|New York]]'s [[Irving Plaza]]. Nearly nonstop touring followed, bringing the band to audiences around North America and Europe. The high profile of [[Jack White]] meant that even though the band was new, they were able to sell out mid-size venues — a rarity for a band's first tour.
 
The band has played a number of music festivals in Europe, Asia, and North America (including Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL and [[Austin City Limits Music Festival]] in [[Austin, Texas]]), headlining many.
==Jesus to return==
Most Muslims believe that Jesus is alive in Heaven, and will return to Earth to defeat the [[Dajjal|Antichrist]].
 
In November [[2006]], the Raconteurs played eight dates as the opening act for [[Bob Dylan]] on the northeastern leg of his U.S. tour.
A [[hadith]] in [[Abu Dawud]] ({{Abudawud|37|4310}}) says:
 
The band has performed a number of covers during live shows. For instance, the set list usually includes renditions of "[[Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)]]" (a song written by [[Sonny Bono]] and popularized by both [[Cher]] and [[Nancy Sinatra]]) and "Headin' For the Texas Border" by [[The Flamin Groovies]]. Other songs the band has covered include [[Gnarls Barkley]]'s "[[Crazy (Gnarls Barkley song)|Crazy]]", [[Bo Diddley]]'s "Who Do You Love?", [[The Undertones]]' "[[Teenage Kicks]]," [[David Bowie]]'s "[[It Ain't Easy (song)|It Ain´t Easy]]", and [[Love (band)|Love]]'s "A House Is Not A Motel".
:"Narrated [[Abu Hurairah|Abu Hurayrah]]: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace be upon him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish [[jizyah]]. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him."
 
== The Saboteurs ==
After Jesus slays [[dajjal|al-Masīh al-Dajjāl]] (literally "the Deceiving Messiah," loosely the [[antichrist|Antichrist]]; often referred to simply as "Dajjāl") at the Gate of [[Lod|Ludd]] in [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]], Muslims believe he will marry, die, and be buried in the [[Masjid al Nabawi]]. During his life, he will have revealed that [[Islam]] is the true word of God.
The Raconteurs were forced to rename themselves as "The Saboteurs" for the Australian market when it was discovered that a [[Queensland]] band was already using the name "Raconteurs". The Queensland band refused to give up their name for the amount they were offered, and instead tried to extract a higher price from the Raconteurs' record company.<ref name="HeraldSunNameChange">[http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,18734967%255E28957,00.html Double-up forces switch], ''[[Herald Sun]]'', [[2006-04-07]]</ref>
A member of the Queensland band has said that they hadn't been informed of who was trying to buy their name and asked for the larger sum of money to see what would happen.<ref name="TripleJNameChange">[http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s1613948.htm Saboteurs of Raconteurs], ''[[Triple J|Triple J Music News]]'', [[2006-04-11]]</ref>
 
==Audio sample==
A [[hadith]] in [[Sahih Bukhari]] ({{Bukhari-usc|4|55|658}}) says:

==References==
:"How will you be when the son of Mary descends amongst you and he will judge people by the Law of the Qur'an and not by the law of the Gospel."
{{reflist}}
 
A very few Islamic scholars reject all the quotes attributed to Muhammad ([[Hadith]]) that mention the second return of Jesus, the Dajjal and [[Imam Mahdi]], believing that they have no Qur'anic basis. These scholars believe that the verb “mutavafika” in verse {{Quran-usc|3|55}} implies that God caused the bodily death of Jesus, thus (3:55) should read as “O Jesus, I terminate your life, raise you to Me.” Others disagree with the implication of termination of Jesus’ life (for example Yusuf Ali’s translation reads: “O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself”). Verses {{Quran-usc-range|4|157|158}} imply that Jesus was not killed; Verse {{Quran-usc|19|33}} implies that Jesus will die someday. The majority of Muslims believe that the bodily death of Jesus will happen after his second coming.
Many classical commentators such as Ibn Kathir, At-Tabari, al-Qurtubi, Suyuti, al-Undlusi (Bahr al-Muhit), Abu al-Fadl al-Alusi (Ruh al-Maani) and many others clearly mention that verse {{Quran-usc|43|61}} of the Qur'an refers to the descent of Jesus before the Day of Resurrection, indicating that Jesus would be the Sign that the Hour is close.
 
:"And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour)..." ({{Quran-usc|43|61}})
 
The scholars that reject the second coming of Jesus argue that the knowledge of the Hour is only with God, and that the Hour will come suddenly. They maintain that if the second coming of Jesus were true, whenever it happens, billions of people would then be certain the Hour is about to come.
 
Another relevant verse from the Qur'an:
 
:"And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death" ({{Quran-usc|4|159}})
 
As an example of a Qur'anic verse that is considered to refer to the end time events:
 
:"Before this We wrote in the Psalms, after the Message (given to Moses): My servants the righteous, shall inherit the earth." ({{Quran-usc|21|105}})
 
==Jesus' physical appearance==
Several [[Hadith]] quote Muhammad describing Jesus as he appeared in a dream, and during Muhammad's [[Mi'raj|ascension to Heaven]]:
 
:"While I was sleeping, I saw myself (in a dream), performing Tawaf (circumambulation of the House of God in Makkah). I saw a reddish-white man with lank hair, with water dripping from his head, I asked, "Who is this?" They replied, "The Son of Maryam (Mary)..." ([[Bukhari]], [[Sahih Muslim]]){{fact}}
 
:"Narrated Abdullah: The Prophet mentioned...While sleeping near the Ka'ba last night, I saw in my dream a man of brown color the best one can see amongst brown color and his hair was long that it fell between his shoulders. His hair was lank and water was dribbling from his head and he was placing his hands on the shoulders of two men while circumambulating the Kaba. I asked, 'Who is this?' They replied, 'This is Jesus, son of Mary.'" (Bukhari {{Bukhari-usc|4|55|649}})
 
:"Narrated Salim from his father: No, By Allah, the Prophet did not tell that Jesus was of red complexion but said, "While I was asleep circumambulating the Ka'ba (in my dream), suddenly I saw a man of brown complexion and lank hair walking between two men, and water was dropping from his head. I asked, 'Who is this?' The people said, 'He is the son of Mary.'" (Bukhari {{Bukhari-usc|4|55|650}})
 
:"Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "On the night of my Ascension to Heaven...I saw Jesus who was of average height with red face as if he had just come out of a bathroom." (Bukhari {{Bukhari-usc|4|55|607}})
 
==Jesus' miracles==
The Qur'an states that Jesus performed miracles including:
*Speaking during infancy:
::"At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: 'O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought! ... O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!' But she pointed to the babe. They said: 'How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?' He said: 'I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet...'" ({{Quran-usc-range|19|27|30}})
 
*Making live birds out of clay, curing blindness and leprosy, and raising the dead:

Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe...'" ({{Quran-usc|3|49}})
