Jesus
CRITICAL: The Alkitab (Malay Bible) deliberately uses Yesus rather than the Qur’anic Isa, precisely to keep the full Christian identity of Jesus distinct from the Qur’anic prophet-Isa and to avoid the appearance of an Islamic-vocabulary (‘Insider Movement’-style) translation approach. This Language Package follows that established, deliberate convention rather than the Isa naming used in some other Islamic-context languages in this pipeline.
