عيسى
Isa (Jesus)
Spirit of Allah
Prophet Isa (Jesus, peace be upon him) is one of the five greatest prophets (Ulul Azm) and is known as Al-Masih (The Messiah) and Ruhullah (Spirit of Allah). He was born miraculously to Maryam (Mary) without a father, by Allah's command.
Isa performed many miracles by Allah's permission: he spoke from the cradle defending his mother, healed the blind and the lepers, and brought the dead back to life. He was given the Injil (Gospel) and called the Children of Israel back to the worship of Allah.
Isa emphasized that he was a servant and messenger of Allah, not divine himself. He prophesied the coming of Prophet Muhammad (Ahmad). His disciples were the Hawariyyun (helpers of Allah).
According to the Quran, Isa was not crucified but was raised by Allah to heaven. He will return before the Day of Judgment to defeat the false messiah (Dajjal) and establish justice on earth.
His story teaches devotion to Allah, the importance of miracles as signs, and the continuity of Allah's message through the prophets.
