)Islam does consider Prophet Isa A.S. (Jesus) as one of the prophets -- previous to prophet Mohammed S.A.W. the original Injeel (Bible) & all the prophets (including Jesus) must be believed by muslims as part of Faith. Islam does not make any distinctions between any of them. As: Narrated Abu Huraira R.A.: Allah's Messenger S.A.W. said, "<b>Both in this world & in the Hereafter, I am the nearest of all the people to Jesus, the son of Mary. The prophets are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one.</b>" [sahih Bukhari, 4.55.652]
in the Quran, Allah S.W.T. revealed that Jesus A.S. wasn't crucified, but was actually taken to the heavens. the one crucified was another man. so Jesus was actually saved by Allah S.W.T. Also, Jesus's creation is just like Adam's. he's created by Allah, as a humble servant to Allah. Allah stated: "<b>The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.</b>" [Quran, 3:59] and, "<b>It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.</b>" [Quran, 19:35]
Jesus also never asks his followers to worship him or his mother, Mary -- he asks to worship only the One & Only God. I believe it should be in the original Bible texts. In the Quran, Jesus spoke in the cradle stating: "<b>I am indeed a servant of Allah. He has given me revelation and made me a prophet;</b>" [Quran, 19:30]
Plus, Prophet Mohammed S.A.W. even said Mary is one of 2 best woman of all time. there's even a surah Mary [surah 19] in the Quran, which tells the story of Jesus. also surah "Ali Imran [3]. Check it out if you want.
