What is Jesus' real name in Islam?

Published in Islamic Theology 1 min read

Jesus' name in Islam is Isa (عيسى).

Islam reveres Jesus as a prophet of God. The Quran mentions Isa by name or title 78 times. When Muslims mention Isa's name, whether spoken or written, they often follow it with the honorific phrase alayhi al-salām (عليه السلام), which translates to "peace be upon him." This phrase is a sign of respect for prophets in Islam.
