In The Quran

The word "Messiah" (Arab. الْمَسِيحَ) appears 11 times in 9 verses of The Quran: (3:45), (4:157), (4:171), (4:172), (5:17 twice), (5:72 twice), (5:75), (9:30), (9:31).


(3:45) The Angels said, "O Mary, God gives good news of a word from Him. His name is the Messiah (Arab. الْمَسِيحُ, l-masīḥu), Jesus the son of Mary. Honorable in this world and in the Hereafter, and from among those who are made close."

(4:157) For their saying, "We have killed the Messiah (Arab. الْمَسِيحَ, l-masīḥa) Jesus the son of Mary, the messenger of God!" They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they had. Those who dispute are in doubt of him, they have no knowledge except to follow conjecture; they did not kill him for a certainty.

(4:171) O People of the Book, do not overstep in your system, nor say about God except the truth. The Messiah (Arab. الْمَسِيحُ, l-masīḥu) Jesus the son of Mary was no more than God's messenger and the fulfillment of His word to Mary, and an inspiration from Him. So acknowledge God and His messengers, and do not say, "Trinity." Cease, for it is better for you. God is only One god, be He glorified that He should have a son! To Him is all that is in the heavens and what is in the earth. God is enough as a caretaker.

(4:172) The Messiah (Arab. الْمَسِيحُ, l-masīḥu) would not be too proud to be a servant to God, nor would the angels who are close to Him. Whoever is too proud from His service, and is arrogant, then He will summon them all before Him.

(5:17) Ingrates indeed are those who have said, "God is the Messiah (Arab. الْمَسِيحُ, l-masīḥu) the son of Mary."Say, "Who has any power against God if He had wanted to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother, and all who are on earth!" To God is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is inbetween; He creates what He pleases. God is capable of all things.

(5:72) Ingrates indeed are those who have said, "God is the Messiah (Arab. الْمَسِيحُ, l-masīḥu) son of Mary!" Although the Messiah (Arab. الْمَسِيحُ, l-masīḥu) had said, "O Children of Israel, serve God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever sets up partners with God, then God will forbid the Garden for him, and his destiny will be the fire; and the wicked will have no supporters."

(5:75) The Messiah (Arab. الْمَسِيحُ, l-masīḥu) son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; like the messengers before him. His mother was trustworthy, and they used to eat the food. See how We clarify the signs for them, then see how they deviate.

(9:30) The Jews said, "Ezra is God's son," and the Nazarenes said, "The Messiah (Arab. الْمَسِيحُ, l-masīḥu) is God's son." Such is their utterances with their mouths; they imitate the sayings of those who rejected before them. God's curse be on them. How deviated are they!

(9:31) They took their scholars and priests to be lords besides God, and the Messiah (Arab. وَالْمَسِيحَ, wal-masīḥa) son of Mary, while they were only commanded to serve One god, there is no god but He, be He glorified for what they set up.
