Muslims believe that Jesus was just a prophet and not divine, as he is referred to as the son of David.

In Mark 12:35-37, Jesus challenges the scribes by quoting Psalm 110:1, where David calls the Messiah 'my Lord.' This is significant because it implies that the Messiah cannot be merely a human descendant of David; instead, he holds a divine status. The argument is that if David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, acknowledges the Messiah as his Lord, then this elevates the Messiah beyond a mere prophet to a divine figure. Furthermore, the phrase 'Sit at My right hand' signifies a position of power and authority, suggesting that the Messiah shares in God's divine nature. This duality of Jesus as both fully God and fully man is central to Christian belief, contrasting with the Islamic view of Jesus as just a prophet. The rejection of this truth by some Jewish leaders and modern scholars does not negate the revelation given to David about the Messiah's true identity.
