Answer:

Islam considers Jesus a Semitic historical figure like Muhammad.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Islam, Jesus is considered as one of the messengers of God and the Messiah sent to guide the People of Israel with a new scripture: the gospel. According to Islam, people must believe in Jesus (as well as in all other messengers) of God) as a requirement to be a Muslim.

According to Muslim belief, Jesus was the last prophet sent by God to guide the People of Israel. In general, Jesus is considered as a precursor of Muhammad, and it is affirmed that he predicted the arrival of the latter.
