Muslims respect and love Jesus (peace be upon him) because he is considered to be one of the greatest prophets and messengers of God in Islam. According to Islamic belief, Jesus was born of a virgin birth and was given the message of God to guide humanity. He performed many miracles during his lifetime and is considered to be a symbol of purity, compassion, and justice.

In the Quran, Jesus is referred to as “Isa” and is described as a prophet sent by God to guide the Children of Israel. He is also believed to have been given the ability to perform miracles, including healing the sick and reviving the dead, as a sign of his prophecy.

In Islam, Jesus is also considered to be a precursor to the final prophet and messenger of God, Muhammad (peace be upon him). Both Jesus and Muhammad are considered to be part of a long line of prophets sent by God to guide humanity and lead them towards righteousness and salvation.

Muslims respect and love Jesus for his teachings and message of compassion and justice, and for the great impact that he had on the world. He is considered to be one of the great prophets of God and his legacy continues to inspire and guide Muslims to this day.
