Is loving Jesus (peace be upon him) more than other prophets considered disbelief (kufr)?
The Messenger Muhammad must be more beloved to a Muslim than all creation, including other prophets and companions, based on his (peace be upon him) saying: "None of you believes until I am more beloved to him than his father, his child, and all people." Likewise, one must believe in all prophets without differentiation, but loving Jesus (peace be upon him) more than Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) indicates weakness of faith, not disbelief. This is because the perfection of faith is achieved when Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is more beloved to the believer than all creation.
