Qur’an 5:72
Surah The Table (Al-Maaida) · verse 72
“They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Lo! whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah, for him Allah hath forbidden paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evil-doers there will be no helpers”

How this connects to Jesus
This passage calls Jesus ‘the Messiah’ (al-Masih). Christians confess Jesus as Messiah too, and mean by it the anointed King and Saviour foretold by the Hebrew prophets, a fuller meaning of the same title.
