Muslims believe that Jesus (called Isa in Arabic) is one of the greatest messengers and prophets of God, but they do not accept his divinity or status as the Son of God as in Christian theology

. Key Islamic beliefs about Jesus include:

• Prophethood and Messiahship : Jesus is regarded as a prophet and the Messiah (Al-Masih), sent specifically to guide the Children of Israel with God's message

. However, the Islamic concept of Messiah differs from the Christian one, focusing on his role as a human prophet rather than divine savior

• Miraculous Birth : Muslims affirm the virgin birth of Jesus through Mary (Maryam), who is highly revered as one of the purest women in creation. His birth is considered a miracle by God's command without a human father, similar to the creation of Adam

• Miracles : Jesus performed many miracles by God's permission, such as healing the blind and lepers, raising the dead, and speaking as an infant to defend his mother’s honor

• Denial of Divinity : Islam strictly rejects the idea that Jesus is divine or the Son of God, emphasizing the oneness of God (tawhid). The Quran denies Jesus' divinity and states that he never claimed to be God or God's son

• Crucifixion : Muslims believe Jesus was not crucified but that it only appeared so; instead, God raised him to Heaven

. This contrasts with Christian belief in Jesus' death and resurrection.

• Second Coming : Islamic eschatology holds that Jesus will return before the Day of Judgment to defeat the false messiah (Al-Masih ad-Dajjal), establish justice, and rule the world for a time before dying a natural death

In summary, Muslims deeply respect Jesus as a major prophet and Messiah, honor his miraculous birth and miracles, reject his divinity, deny his crucifixion, and await his return as part of the end-times narrative
