Jesus only a Man (Not God) in Islam

On December 25th, the Christians celebrate the birth of their God, Jesus, the Son of God. The Christians worship the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit as their God.

In Islam, we worship one God only, namely Allah, and no one else. In fact, Islam regards Jesus as one of the messengers of God just like Adam, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, and Muhammad:

“We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of Messengers; We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you a Messenger with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride” Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!” [Al Baqarah:87]

Islam: Jesus Is Not a God, But A Prophet

According to Islam Jesus is not a God, but he is only one of God’s prophet (like: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Muhammad):

“They do blaspheme who say: “Allah is Christ the son of Mary.” But said Christ: “O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever joins other gods with Allah, Allah will forbid him the Garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrongdoers be no one to help.” [Quran Al Maidah:72]

There is some difference between Christian and Islam. In Gospel, Jesus is the son of Joseph, while Quran says Jesus is the son of Mary, since Mary give birth to Jesus without having any sexual relationship with Joseph (after all, the Gospel also says Jesus is the Son of God – or Joseph?):
