Muslims believe that Jesus is not divine and cannot be exalted to the same status as God.

The prophet Isaiah foretells the exalted status of the Messiah, using language that parallels the exaltation of Yahweh Himself. This suggests that the Servant, who is understood to be the Messiah, will share in God's unique sovereign rule over creation. Isaiah's descriptions of exaltation are not merely metaphorical but indicate a profound reality about the Messiah's nature and role. Furthermore, the New Testament reinforces this understanding by explicitly stating that Jesus was exalted by God, affirming His divine authority and status as Lord and Christ. Therefore, the biblical narrative supports the claim that Jesus is not only a prophet but also the exalted Messiah, which contradicts the Islamic view of His nature.
