How do we prove that Jesus is God with the theory of Islamic theology?

Christians believe Jesus (also called Jesus Christ, Jesus of Galilee and Jesus of Nazareth) was the son of God who was sent by God on earth to save us from evils and sins. They call him Messiah (savior). He was a Jew who became a religious preacher and reformer. His teachings were against the fundamentalist beliefs of the orthodox Jews of that time. Hence, he was arrested, tried and executed for his teachings. His followers are known as Christians and he is the central figure in Christianity.

Jesus is also an important figure in Islam. Koran referred him as Isa. Koran reveres him as a prophet who was sent with a special message Injil (Bible) from Allah. However, Muslims don’t believe that Jesus was the son of God. Islam doesn’t believe in ‘original sin’, hence, according to this belief there is no need of sending the savior. Thus it nullifies the crucifixion of Jesus. Islamic text purports that Jesus was spared of death and assumed into heaven before his actual death.

Islam also believes that Jesus will return on earth on the judgment day and will destroy the ad-dajjal—anti-Christ or the imposter.

However, Islam rejects Christians’ claim that Jesus was the son of God. Islam reveres Jesus and considers him as an important prophet but rejects his status as the son of God. Islam believes in one God which it called Allah who is invisible and almighty. Islam is a strictly monotheistic religion which believes in one God. So, there is no possibility of worshiping Jesus as God in Islam. So, Jesus cannot be proved as God according to Islamic doctrine. Judaism out-rightly rejects this claim while Islam accepts him as an important prophet. It must be noticed that prophets are just servants of God according to Islamic doctrine. They are nothing compared to God.
