Muslims claim that their Isa al-Masih (Isa the Messiah) in the Qur'an is the same as our Jesus (or Yeshua) of the Bible. In their claim, Isa (Muslim Jesus) is the true Jesus. Therefore, it is common in their Daw'ah (proselytizing ) of Christians they use the tagline " Muslims love Jesus" to mislead ignorant Christians that the Muslim Jesus (Isa) is similar to the Jesus (Yahshua) of the Bible and hence, converting to Islam does not deny Jesus. Is this true? of course, this is not true. Islamic narrative about Jesus directly contradicts who Jesus is and his redemptive work. In short, Islam preaches another Jesus and another gospel.
For Christians, you need to understand why knowing Christ is essential. See the following links:
