The answer

It is difficult to prove that Buddha and Krishna incarnated as Jesus (peace be upon him). Buddhists believe Buddha to be the son of God, and Hindus hold even stronger beliefs regarding Krishna. The claim that prophecies about Jesus and his prophethood are connected to Buddha or others is false. The Quran refutes this matter, emphasizing that Allah does not take a son, for everyone in the heavens and on earth comes to the Most Gracious as a servant. Allah Almighty says: "And they say, 'The Most Gracious has taken a son.' You have certainly produced a dreadful thing. The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation That they attribute to the Most Gracious a son. And it is not appropriate for the Most Gracious that He should take a son. There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Gracious as a servant."
