Muslims love all of the prophets; to reject one is to reject the creed of Islam. In other words, Muslims believe in, love, and respect Jesus, who is known in Arabic as Eesa. The difference is that Muslims understand his role according to the Quran, and the traditions and sayings of Prophet Muhammad. They do not believe that Jesus is God, nor the son of God and they do not believe in the concept of Trinity.
Three chapters of the Quran feature the life of Jesus, his mother Mary and their family, and each one reveals details of Jesus' life that are not found in the Bible. Muslims believe he was born a miraculous birth without a father to virgin Mary and never claimed to be the son of God or said that he should be worshipped. Muslims also believe that Jesus will return to earth in the last days.
