Peter in Islam

The Qur'an records that when Jesus began to feel the rejection of the Israelites, he asked the people as to who among them will be his supporters in preaching the Gospel.

The most famous of these is the narrative of Peter's preaching in Antioch, which is closely linked with the legend of Habib the Carpenter.

Muslim tradition narrates that two of Jesus's disciples, John and Jude, went to preach the Gospel in Antioch, as its people were devoted to idols.

Peter was allowed to perform a miracle in front of the governor, where he raised a child who had been dead for seven days.

The people refused to believe Peter's words, and angry with Habib for his faith, they stoned him to death.
