Jesus
CRITICAL: established Eastern Christian Arabic form (predates Islam). عيسى (‘Isa) is exclusively the Quranic name and is explicitly rejected as the primary rendering, because its established referent in the Muslim mind already carries the non-crucified, non-divine, prophet-only theology Romans directly contradicts - this is the same underlying controversy as Muslim-Idiom Translations that substitute ‘Isa for Yasu’ to sound less foreign. Retain Yasū’ consistently.
