Disciples of Jesus in Islam
The Qur'anic account of the disciples (Arabic الحواريون al-ḥawāriyūn) of Jesus  does not include their names, numbers, or any detailed accounts of their lives. Muslim exegesis, however, more-or-less agrees with the New Testament list and says that the disciples included PeterPhilipThomasBartholomewMatthewAndrewJamesJudeJohn and Simon the Zealot. Scholars generally draw a parallel with the disciples of Jesus and the disciples of Muhammad, who followed Muhammad during his lifetime.
