First of all, Islam accepts and respects all prophets. If it were otherwise, they would not be praised in the Quran. This being the case, how could Muhammad try to belittle Jesus?

I am writing again;
According to Islam, all people are equal. Anyone who says otherwise is being arrogant. According to Islam, the only greatest being is Allah.

There's something you should know:
All prophets have a single reason for coming. That is, to warn the "good people" in societies steeped in evil and to give them good news. Or they only have to convey the message. That is all.
Prophets have no intention of guiding evil-ridden societies to the right path. Jesus' duty was only to preach. He fulfilled his duty and died. On the Day of Judgment, he will be resurrected like every other human being.

Moses had magic talent.
Solomon could talk to animals.
Jesus could raise the dead and heal diseases.
The miracle of Muhammad is the Quran.
For this reason, the Quran has never changed, and those who read it with a pure heart and insistently follow the things that are asked to be done there can see the truth if Allah wishes.

Summary:
To see the truth, it is necessary to read the book of Allah and come to a decision. Are the words in this book God's words? And is what is written true? Each individual can make this decision himself.

I think you should not rush to decide. First, read the Quran from beginning to end.
And while you read, know that this book began to be revealed to a person who had never compromised his honesty in a society steeped in evil at age 40. And since what is written in the book addresses a small minority in that society, it is addressed according to their traditions and examples are given according to the climate.

And many questions will come to your mind. You will find the answers to these questions by reading for yourself. (The key is to read, as it says in the first word of the Quran: "Read!"). There is no religious class in Islam. Unfortunately, like all other religions, Islam was corrupted and imams emerged. Sects emerged. There is only one religion. If you read the Quran you will see; that Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad preached the same religion. The last notification was made by Muhammad, who came more than 600 years after Jesus. And it is stated in the Quran that it is the final message. Almost 1500 years have passed since Muhammad's preaching. There was no new notification.

Conclusion:
So leave aside the image of Islam in your mind read the Quran and decide for yourself. Because Islam, like all religions you know, has been corrupted. But only one light source remained on: the Koran. (Muhammad's miracle).

Saying that Jesus might not have been murdered - and saying that despite of so many historical sources confirming this historical fact - **does mean** devaluing him, because this way Jesus couldn't accomplish his Mission:
entering afterlife, defeating Death, resurrecting Himself for the Redemption of mankind.

And this is exactly what Satan would love to hear from everyone.
And Muhammad after his first revelation thought it was Satan. (Sira No. 154, Ishaq).

Everything fits like a glove. I'm sorry.

You misunderstood.
The Quran is not a history book.
What I mean is that the Quran has been preserved unchanged since the first moment.
And
For us, all people are equal.
Based on this, all prophets are equally valuable.
Saying that Jesus might not have been murdered does not mean devaluing him.

Jesus had all the power he needed to avoid death. The point is that He *chose* to die willingly ([Luke 22:42](https://biblehub.com/luke/22-42.htm)- “*Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.*”). Otherwise, He wouldn't be able to fulfill His mission.

> As mentioned, I do not trust sources other than the Quran.

Quran 4:158 states that Jesus is not dead and Allah took him up unto himself.
Quran 19:33 says that Jesus will die and will be resurrected.

Which one of these two verses above (out of all **6,666** verses) do you trust more and why?
;)

OK.
As mentioned, I do not trust sources other than the Quran. Because the only source that has not changed since the first day is the Quran.

Christian scholars cite the resurrection of the dead and medical healing as examples of Jesus' miracles. They also believe that someone with such miracles was killed.
How do you explain this?

as a side note:
Quran 4:158 states that Jesus is not dead and Allah took him up unto himself. But verse 19:33 says that Jesus will die and will be resurrected.
It looks like Quran simultaneously says that Jesus died and didn't die...

Anyway, after his first revelation:

*"Muhammad thought it was Satan who squeezed him since it tortured him. It was Kahdija his wife who concluded that it was angel Gabriel because it disappeared when she and Muhammad performed sexual acts"* [Sira No. 154, Ishaq].

So, denying of well proven historical fact of Jesus' death by crucifixion, while it was well confirmed by so many historical sources and so many independent and unfriendly to Christians witnesses - is the obvious and perfect way to deny the further consequences (Jesus entered afterlife, defeated Death, resurrected Himself)

Now painful, but pure logic:
Muhammad was right and Kahdija was wrong.

What happened to Jesus? 

I still fail to see what your thesis is. That the entirety of Islam is the work of the Devil? Or that its purpose is to deny Jesus' significance?

Personally, I pay attention to people's actions much more than to their justifications and beliefs. So for me all this numerology or bickering over which two-millenia-old piece of paper is a more accurate record of history, is mostly irrelevant.
