Jesus as Prophet of God, manifested the human qualities of sincerity purity love and charity. Despite the fact that the Prophet Mohammad always referred to him as a brother and that the Quran makes repeated mention of him with the highest praise, Moslem and Christian leaders has, or political reasons or out o sheer prejudice, forever striven to pass over this brotherly pledge and have it conveniently forgotten.

Only the Sufis because of their lack of prejudice and their inner purity, have managed to avoid being influenced by what fanatical and extremist clerics have tried to inculcate. It is th Sufis who have attempted to preserve the memory of Jesus as he really was, alive in their minds and in the minds of other, and to keep him in their hearts

in Sufi literature Jesus is the paragon of a perfect human being and the example par excellence of  a true master. In throughout the centuries, in all their “Moselem-ness”, the masters of Sufism, out of purity sincerity and love have had nothing but praise for Jesus, resenting him as a perfect Sufi.

- Dr. Javad Nurbakh, Jesus in the Eyes of the Sufis

There is nothing to which I can add to this other than to say that I have included below in this post some passages which show Jesus in the light of a perfect Sufi.

The Way of Jesus and His Method

The way of Jesus was the pat of striving and seclusion and of self-abnegation. In a Sufi manner he enjoyed solitude and disliked ceremony, being detached from the world and its attractions. Hasan of Basri said of Jesus that he dressed in a coarse wool, ate what he could pluck from trees, and slept wherever night found him. Jesus was  the ascetic amongst the prophets attaining  the highest station of asceticism, which is total abandonment of the world.  Jesus was dedicated to fakr (poverty) and his practice of poverty is proverbial. Junaid  said  “the Sufi is one whose heart, like Abraham‘s has become immune from attachment to the world and complies with God’s command; and whose submission is that of Ishmael, whose sorrow is that of David, and whose poverty is that of Jesus and whose patience is that o Job’s and whose yearning is that of Moses engaged in prayer pf supplication, and whose sincerity is that of Mohammad

Jesus’s Patchwork Cloak of Wool

By reliable account, Jesus son of Mary had  a patchwork cloak which he wore when he ascended to heaven. The Masters of teh path once said that he had seen him in  a dream, wearing the same old patchy woolen cloak and that beams o light shone from every patch. He explained “I’ cried, “O Christ, how come these beams of light from your dress? And he replied  . “These are the rays of my misery. Every Rip and tear which I had to mend, the Good Lord turned to light, representing all the pains and suffering which has stung my heart.
