{{Main|Disciples of Jesus in Islam}}

The Quran states that Jesus was aided by a group of [[Disciples of Jesus in Islam|disciples]] ({{transliteration|ar|Ḥawāriyyūn}}) who believed in his message. While not naming the disciples, the Quran does give a few instances of Jesus preaching the message to them. Muslims view the disciples of Jesus as identical to the [[Companions of the Prophet|companions]] ({{transliteration|ar|Ṣaḥāba}}) of Muhammad.{{Sfn|Ridgeon|2013|p=14}} According to Christianity, the names of the twelve disciples were [[Saint Peter|Peter]], [[Saint Andrew|Andrew]], [[James, son of Zebedee|James]], [[John the Apostle|John]], [[Philip the Apostle|Philip]], [[Bartholomew]], [[Thomas the Apostle|Thomas]], [[Saint Matthew|Matthew]], [[James, son of Alphaeus|James]], [[Jude the Apostle|Jude]], [[Simon the Zealot|Simon]], and [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]].

The Quran mentions in chapter 3, verses 52–53, that the disciples submitted to the faith of Islam:<ref>{{Qtaf|en:ibk|3|52-54}}</ref>
{{blockquote|When Jesus sensed disbelief from his people, he asked, “Who will stand up with me for Allah?” The disciples replied, “We will stand up for Allah. We believe in Allah, so bear witness that we have submitted.”<br>
˹They prayed to Allah,˺ “Our Lord! We believe in Your revelations and follow the messenger, so count us among those who bear witness.”|{{qref|3|52-53|c=y}}}}

The longest narrative involving Jesus' disciples is when Jesus performs the miracle of bringing a table of food from heaven at their request, for further proof that his preaching is the true message.
