In Islam Jesus is called the Messiah (annointed Prophet). He came from a miracle birth and performed miracles so nobody could falsely accuse him of being an imposter or a fake and then demand the death penalty on him. He was to be the last chance redeemer for the Jewish nation. If they accepted him and repented then they would be spared from a "lanat" and they would be forgiven for their rebellion and for the killing of Gods Prophets.
After that.... the Prophethood was shifted to the Ishmaelites and the message sent through the Great Ishmaelite Prophet (Mohammed) would be the last and eternal message until the day of Judgement.
The traditional title of Messiah, or "anointed one" was an honorary title of God's appointed King/Prophet of the Israelites.
Saul was a messiah, David was a Messiah, Zedekiah, the last king of Israel of the line of Judah was a Messiah
The word “Messiah” is an English rendering of the Hebrew word “Mashiach”, whose translation is “Anointed”. It usually refers to a person initiated into G-d’s service by being anointed with oil. (Having oil poured on his head. Cf. Exodus 29:7, I Kings 1:39, II Kings 9:3).
There are many Messiahs in the Bible. Since every King and High Priest/pastor was anointed with oil, each may be referred to as “an anointed one” (a Mashiach or a Messiah). For example: “G-d forbid that I [David] should stretch out my hand against the L-rd’s Messiah [Saul]...” I Samuel 26:11. Cf. II Samuel 23:1, Isaiah 45:1, Psalms 20:6.
Islam also says that those who denied Jesus was a true messenger and Prophet (Messiah) ----- will be sent a “False Messiah” near the last days as a final Punishment.
Those who join him will be on the side of EVIL and those who oppose him will be on the side of Good.
This False Messiah will rule from Jerusalem and will be the most EVIL leader to come in the history of mankind.
