The Messiah, Son of Mary · Isa · عيسى
ChristianityIslam

Isa, peace be upon him, is a messenger of Allah and His word, born to Mary. The Quran names him in 25 verses, and refers to him as the Messiah in six more. He is a servant and a prophet, never a deity, and the Quran is the final revelation, the measure by which earlier books are read.
