Quoted from the "ISLAM REVEALED"

JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO ISLAM

JESUS IS ALLAH’S MEDIATOR AND MESSIAH

 In surat al-Zumar (The Troops) 39:44, the Quran confines the work of intercession to Allah alone.  "Unto Allah belongeth all intercession. . ."Extraordinarily, the Quran hints that intercession is also one of the privileges of the Messiah, as in Surat al-Imran (The Family of  ‘Imran) 3:45.

 Messiah is the Hebrew title for God's anointed Savior.  "Christ" is the Greek equivalent.  "Almasseh" is the Arabic term.  The Quran acknowledges Jesus of Nazareth as the only Messiah of God.
 Al Jalalan observed, "Illustrious in the world by the ministry of prophecy and in the hereafter by intercession and position and being one of those brought near unto Allah."  Badawi contended that "According to some, what was intended here was the high place that Jesus was to have in Paradise. . . and in the Society of Angels."
