In the Muhammadan Qur'an we read:
To Jesus the son of Mary We gave the Gospel, and We put into the hearts of those who followed Him kindness and compassion: but as to the monastic life, they invented it themselves. The desire only of pleasing God did We prescribe to them, and this they observed not as it ought to have been observed. - Qur'an, Súrih lvii. 27 (113:7)
