Muhammad

Jesus is just a man and not divine, while Muhammad is the final messenger of Allah.

Quick answer

The Christian response emphasizes that Jesus is not merely a man; He is divine and greater than Muhammad. The Quran itself acknowledges Jesus' unique status and His ascension to Allah, which sets Him apart from Muhammad, who is described as a mortal messenger.

Full argument

The Quran states that Jesus was raised to Allah and is alive, which contradicts the assertion that He is just a man. Verses such as Surah 3:55 and Surah 4:157-158 highlight that Jesus was taken up by Allah, indicating His exalted status. In contrast, Muhammad is depicted in the Quran as a fallible human who will die, as seen in Surah 3:144 and Surah 39:30-31. This distinction emphasizes that while Muhammad is a messenger, Jesus holds a unique position as one who is alive and has a divine nature. Furthermore, the Quran's acknowledgment of Jesus' ability to create life, similar to Allah, further elevates His status above that of Muhammad, reinforcing the Christian belief in the divinity of Christ.
