According to muslim tradition, Jesus or Hazrat Isa ( peace be uppon him) is 'Kalamullah'. He is the manifestation of the Word of God ( Allah SWT). Allah created the Universe and everything in en out of it by using the word 'Kum' which closely translated means 'be' or 'become'. Allah SWT can create anything He wants, how He wants, where He wants etc. So as a sign of His greatness He created Hazrat Isa AS without a father. In the Qur'an a whole Sura is dedicated to Hazrat Isa AS and his mother Maryam ( Maria) RA, it is called Sura Maryam. According to Islam Hazrat Isa AS lives, he hasn't taste death, yet. He isn't crucified. Allah SWT saved him by taking him ( physical and spiritual...body and soul) up to the first heaven. Hazrat Isa AS will decent from this heaven to help Imam Mahdi RA in his fight against the Dajjal.
Hazrat Isa AS is human, not God. But we can not say he is just like us, because 1) his creation is a miracle if we look at the way he is created 2) he is a great Prophet 3) he is the Messias 4) he carries the light of Muhammed ( nur-e-muhammed) in his soul, like all the great Prophets 5) he will return ( no re-incarnation, but decent from the sky) 6) he is a Sign of Allah SWT and many more...
These are some of the things a remember, and this is what I believe...I have great respect and love for Hazrat Isa AS ( Jesus) and his mother Maryam AS. Muslim are being obligated to show love and respect to all Prophets of Allah and to His whole creation!
I have seen some documentaries on NGC and Discovery Channel about Jesus ( peace be uppon him), for example about the DaVinci code. It's interesting. But I don't believe it.
It's is written in the Qur'an that Hazrat Isa AS and his mother Maryam RA are those historical figures which will be discussed about by people of all times. And this is true.
God Bless!
