Ummi Isa

Ummi Isa is a name, commonly found in Muslim communities, primarily referring to the mother of the prophet Isa (Jesus) in Islam. The name translates directly from Arabic to "Mother of Jesus." In Islamic theology and tradition, Mary, the mother of Jesus, holds a uniquely elevated status and is revered as a pious and virtuous woman chosen by God. She is considered one of the most righteous women in Islamic history. The Quran contains a chapter (Surah) named after her (Surah Maryam). While "Ummi Isa" is a common identifier, she is also referred to as Maryam bint Imran (Mary, daughter of Imran). The use of "Ummi Isa" emphasizes her maternal role in relation to the prophet Isa, who is considered a prophet of Islam.
