The word‘ the Maseh’ is mentioned in certain sura. In Arabic this means, ‘The Messiah’ {Al Maseh}. So, Allah is referring to a Messiah. In Hebrew, it is spelt as ‘Mashiah’. It means the ‘Anointed One’ {or Christ} – It is more than just a prophet. None of the prophets were ever given such a high recognition. Descriptions of his importance are many in the Bible. Various prophesies told, over a 1,000 years, of the coming of the Messiah, and has been recorded. The Messiah was also mentioned 39 times in the OT alone, before his coming. This shows the importance of the Messiah, as the world was waiting of a Messiah, for a 1,000 years.
Is there any prophecy of the coming of the Messiah in the Qu'ran?Allah mentioned in a number of sura as Isa the Maseh, confirming this Isa as a Messiah. But, in sura 3:45 Allah says his name is the Maseh {Al Maseh}. If his name is ‘the Maseh’ that would be odd. It cannot be a name, can it?
