In Islam, Jesus (known as Isa in Arabic) is considered one of the greatest prophets, but not divine. The Quran explicitly denies the divinity of Jesus and emphasizes the oneness of God (Allah). Here are some key Quranic verses that articulate this belief:

From the Quran:

1. Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:72-73
   • “They have certainly disbelieved who say, ‘Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary’ while the Messiah has said, ‘O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ Indeed, he who associates others with Allah – Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.”
   • “They have certainly disbelieved who say, ‘Allah is the third of three.’ And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.”
2. Surah Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4
   • “Say, ‘He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.'”
3. Surah An-Nisa 4:171
   • “O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, ‘Three’; desist – it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.”

From the Bible:

The New Testament presents various statements and theological interpretations that Christians use to support the divinity of Jesus. However, some passages in the New Testament are interpreted by Muslims and some scholars as not attributing divinity to Jesus:

1. Mark 10:18
   • “And Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.'”
   • This verse is interpreted by some as Jesus distinguishing himself from God.
2. John 17:3
   • “And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”
   • Here, Jesus refers to the Father as the “only true God” and himself as the one sent by God.
3. Matthew 24:36
   • “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”
   • This indicates that Jesus lacks knowledge that only God possesses, suggesting a distinction between Jesus and God.
4. John 14:28
   • “You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.”
   • Jesus refers to the Father as greater than himself, implying a hierarchical relationship rather than equality.

Conclusion

In Islam, the Quran clearly rejects the divinity of Jesus, emphasizing the strict monotheism that characterizes Islamic belief. Jesus is acknowledged as a revered prophet and messenger but not as God or the Son of God. While the New Testament includes verses that Christians interpret as supporting the divinity of Jesus, there are also passages that can be read as emphasizing his humanity and servitude to God, which align more closely with Islamic views.
