Did jesus and muhammad actually know of each other ?

Nope, as Mohammed came about 600 years AFTER Jesus.

OK thanks

Mohammed knew of Jesus because he is named in the Koran a number of times. So is his mother Mary.

What does it say ?

The Koran views Jesus as a prophet and if I remember correctly he is the most named person in the Koran. It accepts his virgin birth and names Mary as his mother.

They do not accept Christ as the Son of God

There were various fractions of the Christian church in the area that Muhammad lived in and one of his wives was a Christian.

Very interesting thanks

Fr. Chuck said it! Most people are shocked to know that Jesus is named in the Koran, born of a virgin and her name is Mary. He is revered as a great prophet but not as the Savior as most Christians believe. John the Baptist is in there too. As a practicing Catholic, I was very surprised to find so many "Christian" things in the Koran.

It is good to recognise these connections, from my understanding of jesus although religion has made him the only son of god the super human saviour, I believe that jesus himself explained himself differently more human, we're children of god ?

I wish more people understood that.

A better way to look at it is that they knew OF each other.

Ali-Imran 3:3
... sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and wrong).
