Islam honors all the prophets who were sent to mankind. Muslims respect all prophets in general, but Jesus in particular, because he was one of the prophets who foretold the coming of Muhammad. Muslims, too, await the second coming of Jesus. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah's prophets to mankind. A Muslim does not refer to him simply as "Jesus," but normally adds the phrase "peace be upon him" as a sign of respect.
No other religion in the world respects and dignifies Jesus as Islam does. The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary"), and Mary is considered to have been one of the purest women in all creation. The Qur'an describes Jesus' birth as follows:
"Behold!' the Angel said, God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and he shall be of the righteous. She said: "My Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: "Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, 'Be!' and it is." [3:42-47]
Muslims believe that Jesus was born immaculately, and through the same power which had brought Eve to life and Adam into being without a father or a mother.
"Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." [3:59]
During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said:
"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." [3:49]
Muhammad and Jesus, as well as the other prophets, were sent to confirm the belief in one God. This is referred to in the Qur'an where Jesus is reported as saying that he came:
"To attest the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." [3:50]
Prophet Muhammad emphasized the importance of Jesus by saying: "Whoever believes there is no god but Allah, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is a servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven. [Bukhari]

Jesus is the son of God, who God sent as a sacrifice for us.
Jesus died on the cross to wash us clean of our sins.
Jesus is in our hearts through the Holy Spirit when we are saved.
Jesus is the only way to eternal life.
Jesus taught the deciples about the Kingdom of God and how we
can be saved by accepting Jesus Christ as our savior, asking
forgiveness for our sins and repenting. Only through faith and
the belief in Jesus Christ can we be saved.
Jesus taught the deciples to spread the gospel so that we could
all share in Gods gift of eternal life and become better people
through the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ is the son of the Most Holy Father Jehovah. Jesus was Jehovah's first creation before he made the earth and everything in it.

Probably no-one. If there is a historical figure wrapped up in the legendary Bible Jesus, nothing whatsoever is known about him. The Jesus in the Bible is too tightly coupled to myth to be able to say anything about him, including whether or not he even existed.

Jesus was a man who made a lot of people believe he was the son of god... if he were around today he would probably be very wealthy. Could you imagine if someone today were able to convince everyone that they were the son of god???

He's a myth. The 'savior' of earth is also in more ancient stories with the same traits as attributed today to Jesus. He's plagiarism at its worse.
