Isa
Muslim Arabic name for the New Testament figure Jesus, regarded as a prophet in Islam. Muslims believe that Jesus was born of Mary, a virgin, but that it is blasphemy to think, as Christians do, that God would send himself to earth and then kill himself. They believe that people can earn forgiveness from God by repentance, and that Jesus was not killed on the cross but either died naturally or was taken to heaven by God.
The Koran (iv, 169) states: ‘The Messiah Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), is only an apostle of Allah, and his word which he conveyed unto Maryam.’
