Titles of Isa al-Masih in the Qur’an

Description

The Qur’ān is a large book in Arabic, a foreign language for most people in the world.  For that reason, few people have an accurate understanding of all the different subjects covered in the Qur’ān.  One of the most important subjects in it concerns the different prophets God has sent into the world at different times.  Of those prophets, one of whom the Qur’ān says a great deal is the prophet `Īsā, son of Mary.  Most people have heard his name and know a few details about his life and work.  However, few people have an accurate knowledge of the many and varied ways he is described in the Qur’ān.  For that reason, this study was prepared.  This short booklet is intended to give the reader a clear and accurate picture of how the Prophet `Īsā is described in the Qur’ān.  What follows are simply verses taken directly from the Islamic Foundation of the Qur’ān.  The goal is for the reader himself to gain a more accurate understanding about how the Prophet `Īsā is portrayed in the Qur’ān.
