Question

When was Hazrath Essa A, S born?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu 'alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

There is no mention or indication in the Quran or Ahadith about the date of birth of Isa (Alayhis Salam). In fact, his date of birth is not explicitly found in the bible either.

The 25th of December is merely based upon estimations and speculations by Christian theologians.[1]The exact date of birth is known only to Allah Ta'ala.

And Allah Ta'āla Knows Best
