Christians believe in a Savior named Jesus Christ, and the followers of Islam believe in Isa al-Masih. Oftentimes, ignorant people identify Jesus and Isa. However, there are more differences than similarities between the two.
Similarities
Maryam, Isa's mother, became pregnant with them, like Mary, without her husband's intervention. Just like Jesus, during his stay on earth, Isa performed all kinds of miracles. For example, immediately after birth, he spoke. When Maryam was accused of her debauchery, the baby Isa said that Allah had sent him, the prophet, to earth.
In addition, Isa healed the sick and raised the dead in the same way as Christ did. “I will heal the blind, the leper, and revive the dead with the permission of Allah,” says the Quran. In addition, according to the same Quran, upon hearing Isa's request, Allah put a table with food on the ground in order to convince the apostles of the truthfulness of the words of the main prophet.
They wanted to crucify Isa like Jesus. In the Koran, as, indeed, in Christian texts, the crucifixion took place, but it was not Isa who was executed at all.
Differences

Unlike supporters of the Christian faith, Muslims are sure that Isa's mother Maryam suffered during childbirth, like an ordinary lay woman. "Oh, if I had died before that!" - Maryam shouted at the time when she was relieved of the burden. Also, supporters of Islam deny the chastity of Maryam.
According to the Bible, Mary conceived the future Savior only after she agreed to such a responsible mission. While an angel appeared to Maryam, who simply conveyed the will of Allah to her. This order did not involve any discussion or deliberation.
While in the Christian religion the image of God is a threefold union: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in Islam - God is one. That is why Isa is not the son of Allah at all. He is a prophet and messenger, but not God himself. Isa is an ordinary person, like Adam was. According to the sacred texts for all Muslims, God is "more praiseworthy" of those circumstances, thanks to which he would have a child.
Isa, like Jesus, was intended to be crucified. However, this did not happen. Instead of Isa, another young man was executed, who volunteered to die. Allah changed the appearance of the young man so that he could not be distinguished from the prophet. And Allah took Isa to heaven without any torment.
Second coming
According to Islam, Isa is currently in heaven. Just before the end of the world, he will appear on earth in order to defeat the false prophet Dajjal, who by that time has already seized power, showing people various miracles. Muhammad said that Isa would marry a woman and he would have children. Isa will die in a few years. The Prophet will be buried in Medina, where there is already a grave for him. According to Muhammad's will, a place was left next to her for Jesus Christ.
