Names and titles of Jesus in the Quran

There are a variety of titles used to refer to the penultimate prophet of Islam, Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus), in the Quran.

Islamic scholars emphasize the need for Muslims to follow the name of Isa (Jesus), whether spoken or written, with the honorific phrase alayhi al-salām (Arabic: عليه السلام), which means peace be upon him.

[note 1] Isa is the Messiah in Islam[3][4][better source needed] and is the called Īsā al-Masīḥ by Muslims.

[3][better source needed] In Quran 4:171, Isa is called Rūḥ minhu (Arabic: رُوحٌۭ مِّنْه), meaning 'a Spirit from him' (i.e., from God).

[11][better source needed][note 4] However, in light of Islam, the title refers to the miraculous birth of Jesus through God's Will despite being fatherless, likened to the creation of Adam without a father or mother as stated in the third chapter of the Qur'an.
