Jesus Christ, known as ‘Isa’ in Arabic, is mentioned in the Quran a total of 25 times. His life and teachings are referenced in various contexts throughout the text, highlighting his significance in Islam.
In the Quran, Jesus is acknowledged as a prophet and messenger of God, born of the Virgin Mary (Maryam). He performed miracles and delivered God’s message to the Children of Israel. The Quran emphasizes his role as a servant of God rather than a divine figure, setting him apart from Christian beliefs about his nature.
The frequent mention of Jesus in the Quran serves to establish the continuity of monotheistic beliefs and the importance of respecting all prophets within Islam. Each mention contributes to understanding Jesus’s place within the broader narrative of Islamic theology.
