In Islam, Jesus (Isa; Arabic: عيسى ʿĪsā) is considered to be a Messenger of God and the Masih (Messiah) who was sent to guide the Children of Israel (banī isrā'īl) with a new scripture, the Injīl or Gospel. The belief in Jesus (and all other messengers of God) is required in Islam, and a requirement of being a Muslim. The Quran mentions Jesus twenty-five times, more often, by name, than Muhammad. It states that Jesus was born to Mary (Arabic: Maryam) as the result of virginal conception, a miraculous event which occurred by the decree of God (Arabic: Allah). To aid in his ministry to the Jewish people, Jesus was given the ability to perform miracles (such as healing the blind, bringing dead people back to life, etc.), all by the permission of God rather than of his own power. According to the popular opinion and Muslim traditions, Jesus was not crucified but instead, he was raised up by God unto the heavens. This "raising" is understood to mean through bodily ascension.
Muslims believe that Jesus will return to earth near the Day of Judgment to restore justice and to defeat Masih ad-Dajjal ("the false messiah", also known as the Antichrist).

Ronald Allan Poe y Kelley (August 20, 1939 – December 14, 2004), better known as Fernando Poe, Jr. and colloquially known as FPJ and Da King, was a Filipino actor and cultural icon. From the 1950s, Poe played steadfast film heroes who fight for the common man, which won him respect and admiration. He did not complete high school but went on to win numerous awards and prizes as an actor and film director. During the latter part of his career, he ran an unsuccessful bid for President of the Philippines in the 2004 presidential election against the former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
In 2011, witnesses revealed in a Senate inquiry that Poe would have won the 2004 elections had there been no cheating.
He was honored on May 24, 2006 as Philippine National Artist through Philippine Proclamation No. 1065.
Poe dropped out of high school to work in the Filipino film industry as a messenger boy, and was given acting roles in subsequent years. Starting as a stuntman for Everlasting Pictures, he was given a break and landed his first starring role in the movie Anak ni Palaris (Son of Palaris) at the age of 14. The movie was not a big hit. In 1957, the movie Lo Waist Gang made him popular, and the film was such a big hit that low-waist pants became a fad.
Don't really know what day it is, scarcely know who I
Been up up all night drinking beer and that red wine,
Trying to forget the things I don't recall now.
And the mirror on my wall, confirms the way I feel
As I pour myself another drink or two,
So let's drink a toast, to the one that we love most,
As the sun rises over Isa.
Over Isa, my old Isa, girl you've got a charm of your
own,
Isa, my old Isa, oh girl you make a man feel well at
home.
[Instrumental]
Before I came here I was wanderin', I was alone and I
was young,
Looking for someone who would hold me and protect me,
As I made lots of money to retire on.
that's when I found you, you crazy town,
You lured me and I had to make you mine.
I pray to God tomorrow a little better than today,
As the sun rises over Isa.
Over Isa, my old Isa, girl you've got a charm of your
own,
Isa, my old Isa, girl you make a man feel well at home.
Isa, my old Isa, oh girl you make a man feel well at
home.
Been standing here for ages
Watching the valleys blossom and burn
The pyres of yesterday smells of losing you
Preserved we are, portraits (in the glassy depths)
I picked up the shattered mirror, put them in water
Cold as my dreams
Isa: Still - Standing - Empowered
Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice
Isa: Detached - Silent - Ecstasy
Isa: We are the dead
We arrived here from different spaces
Bidding the wooden shrines farewell
Concealed within dead lips lies the rope
That forged us then tore us to shreds
Distant opposite assembly at the shores
They're telling me it's time to let go
A time to burn, a time to build
With your own hands a room within that room
Bring it all towards the centr and tremble
Bring her back from the shadows and kiss her
Retrieve the sword from the abyss
Hold back the tidal wave
Isa: Still - Standing - Empowered
Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice
Isa: Detached - Silent - Ecstasy
Isa: We are the dead
Isa: Still - Standing - Empowered
Isa: Watching you die, with tears of ice
Isa: Detached - Silent - Ecstasy
