Redirect to Messiah . ☆★Mamushir (✉✉) 19:06, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as standalone article - Considering Islam's unique understanding of Messiah, this should be a page of its own. As such, the page should be renamed as "Messiah in Islam". Maqdisi117 (talk) 04:10, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Christ (title)#Etymology - "Masih" is literally just the Arabic translation of the Hebrew Mašíaḥ or the Greek Khristós ("anointed", whence the English "Christ"). The Arabic ʿĪsā al-Masīḥ just literally means "Jesus the Anointed" (i.e., Jesus Christ, or Jesus the Messiah). Scholars refer to this concept in English as "Messiah". Per wp:commonname, an article on that topic should be called Messiah in Islam, just like we have Messiah in Judaism. This is currently a redirect to the section on Islam in Messiah, but could perhaps be developed into a separate article on that topic (though the overlap with Jesus in Islam would probably be too great, since in Islam as in Christianity, al-Masīḥ/Christ is just another name for Jesus). Regardless, the article currently under discussion rather is of the nature of a dictionary definition, and it would be more helpful to redirect to the article we already have that actually explains the concept. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 05:07, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - "Masih" is a title used by Muslims and this article is very similar to the Christ"). I improved the article a lot and added things just like in the Christ. If this article will be deleted, the Christ article should be deleted too since they both are literally the same articles, the only difference is Christ is a Christian title and it also means Messiah while Masih is a Muslim title which means Messiah too.
