>Jesus as Messiah?
In the Quran, Jesus is declared in Surah 3:44 onwards in the story of Mary and Jesus to be the Messiah, al-Maseeh, in Arabic. You can hear it sounding almost like “hamashia", "al-Maseeh”. “Ha” in Hebrew is the equivalent of “al” in Arabic, which is a definite article like the “le” in French. In subtracting the definite article, Mashiah, you can hear the similarity to "maseeh". The Arabic word “maseeh” seems to refer to the same concept and the same Hebrew term.
The fact that Muslims recognize this important title for Jesus, even though there is some discussion here about what precisely it means, shows some confluence between the Muslim and Christian faiths. Our Christian friends think that this is one of the most important titles for Jesus. They want to know if we recognize Jesus as the Messiah. Muslims can say yes. That alone is an aha moment! This is especially so because one of the age-long disputes between our Christian and Jewish friends is that Christians proclaim Jesus as the Messiah, whereas our Jewish friends generally say that they're still awaiting the Messiah to come in the future, who they do not think to be Jesus. This is Christians acknowledging Jesus to be in the Messiah, Jews saying, no, he is not, and Muslims coming in and saying, but yes, he is.
