Here are some general information on how Jesus is viewed in Islam. 🏵️🏵️

As a prophet, Jesus, known as 'Isa in Arabic, holds a significant place in Islam.
The Quran mentions Jesus more than 25 times and refers to him as the son of Mary. It affirms his miraculous birth and his mission to preach the message of Monotheism.
A Quranic verse says, "And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and We gave them shelter on an elevated ground with springs of running water." (Surah Al-Mu’minun 23:50)

Muslims believe that Jesus performed miracles. For instance, the Quran says, "And I make the blind see and the leper purified, and I bring the dead to life by Allah's leave." (Surah Al Imran 3:49)

Islamic teachings highlight the importance of respecting and following the teachings of all the prophets, including Jesus.
The Hadiths provide further insight into the Prophet Muhammad's respect for Jesus.
For example, Prophet Muhammad once said, "Both in this world and in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all people to Jesus, the son of Mary. The prophets are paternal brothers, and there has been no prophet between us" (Bukhari).

Overall, in Islam, Jesus is considered a beloved and respected prophet who preached love, justice, and mercy.
While there may be some differences in the interpretation of Jesus's life and teachings between Islam and Christianity, both religions share similar values and principles.
