Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said that Christians are confused about the reality of the Messiah, and they have no agreed-upon or rational statement; rather, they are sects, some of which declare others to be disbelievers. Christians differ regarding the nature of the divinity of the Messiah, which was not mentioned in the books of the prophets. As for the Islamic creed, it is clear: the prophets, including Jesus, are servants of God and His messengers sent to guide people.
