People in the Quran
The Quran names many figures—often aligning with biblical tradition, sometimes with distinct emphasis or detail. Use these notes for cross-surah study and links to places and surahs.
Featured entries
- Muḥammad — recipient of revelation (mentioned by name and epithet Aḥmad in exegesis of certain verses)
- Mūsā — Moses, a major prophetic line
- Ibrāhīm — Abraham, father of the ḥanīf line
- ʿĪsā — Jesus in Quranic presentation
- Maryam — Mary, by name and narrative prominence
Seed verse links

How to extend
