Jesus is referred to as Isa in Islam. This might have sounded like Isaiah to Sheik Sulaiman Kakeeto. The transliterated name of Jesus in Arabic is Isa although it is also not clear because the name of Esau, the brother of Jacob (Yaqub in Arabic) is also Isa.
However, some sources say the correct transliterated name of Jesus in Arabic is Yasu. Isa (Esau) means hairy and Yasu (Jesus) means God saves.
