Jesus in Islam is seen as the Messiah like in Christianity, but the His divinity and the Holy Trinity is not accepted in Islam.

Muslims believe that Jesus was the final prophet (and the second most important prophet) before Muhammad who was born of the virgin Mary and was raised to the heavens because God didn't want his prophet to be harmed when the Jews planned to arrest him and have him hung on the cross. The mainstream belief of Muslims is that a Jesus look alike was instead arrested and crucified. Some believe Judas Iscariot was crucified instead of Jesus. There's even some that believe Jesus was crucified but survived the crucifixion and continued preaching until he died naturally in India.
