First, may Allah reward you. The term "Christian" is a recent expression. The Christians adopted it to attribute to their religion that it is a true religion, named after al-Masih, the son of Maryam.And the correct thing is to say: The Christians, as mentioned in the Noble Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and also in the words of the scholars. If you look at the books of the scholars, you will not find "Christians," only "Jews and Christians." But these people wanted to attribute to their methodology and their religion that it is a true religion.So they said: Christians,Therefore, we see that the correct expression is to say: The Christians, as Allah (Mighty and Majestic) named them.
