The difference is 600 years of storytelling.

Both were prophets. Beware of false ones.

Answer

From an Islamic perspective, there is a very significant difference between the prophet Muhammad and Jesus. Muhammad was mortal but Jesus, according to the Quran, was able to avoid suffering and death, if not because of his divinity then at least with God's help.

  • When Muhammad found his life under threat in Mecca, he fled under cover of darkness to Yathrib, now known as Medina. Had he not done so, he had no illusions about receiving divine help.
  • Surah 04:157 in the Quran says of Jesus on the cross: "They did not kill him and they did not crucify him, but it was made to seem so to them." In other words, the suffering Jesus was in some way only an apparition, and the real Jesus would appear, unharmed, to his disciples on the following Sunday. The notion that it was only made to seem that Jesus was on the cross came to the Muslims from the Docetists, who were an early Christian Gnostic sect.

For Christians, the differences are even more apparent. They agree that Muhammad should have had no illusions about receiving divine help, but say that Jesus really was crucified, died and rose from the dead, just as he had already resurrected others. Although there are anomalies in the gospels, and Christians are at a loss to explain these, Christians believe that Jesus was the divine Son of God.
