Muslims believe that Jesus is not divine and that he cannot be equated with God or exalted like Yahweh.

The prophet Isaiah describes Yahweh as the 'high and exalted One,' indicating His supreme status as God. In Isaiah 6:1-5, the vision of the Lord seated on a throne highlights His majesty and glory, which is unmatched. However, Isaiah also speaks of a servant who will be 'raised and lifted up and highly exalted' (Isaiah 52:13), suggesting that this servant shares in the exaltation typically reserved for God. This duality points to a unique relationship between God and the Messiah, which Christians identify as Jesus Christ. Furthermore, Isaiah 53 elaborates on the suffering servant who bears the sins of the people, being 'pierced for our transgressions' and 'crushed for our iniquities' (Isaiah 53:5). This sacrificial role is central to the Christian understanding of Jesus' mission on earth, where his suffering leads to the justification of many. The exaltation of Jesus after his resurrection is seen as the fulfillment of these prophecies, affirming his divine nature and authority. Thus, while Muslims may reject the divinity of Jesus, the biblical text provides a coherent narrative that supports the belief in Jesus as both fully God and fully man, fulfilling the role of the Messiah as foretold by the prophets. The exaltation of Jesus is not merely a title but a profound truth rooted in the scriptures that Christians hold dear.
