Quick fact: Hazrat Issa (AS) spent his youth in the town of Nazareth, located in present-day Israel.

Explanation

Hazrat Issa (AS), known as Jesus in Christianity, was born in Bethlehem but grew up in Nazareth, which is why he is often referred to as "Issa al-Nasiri" or "Jesus of Nazareth." The Quran mentions Hazrat Issa (AS) as one of the great Prophets of Allah, born miraculously to Maryam (AS), and he spent his early life in this small Galilean town before beginning his prophetic mission.

Good to know

Nazareth is a historic town in the Galilee region of present-day Israel. In Islamic tradition, Hazrat Issa (AS) is revered as a mighty messenger of Allah, and his mother Maryam (AS) has an entire chapter (Surah Maryam) dedicated to her in the Quran. The town of Nazareth holds significance as the place where Hazrat Issa (AS) was raised and lived before receiving prophethood and beginning his ministry among the Children of Israel.
