Jesus is a prominent figure in the Quran. He has been given a number of honorable titles ranging from Messiah, Son of Mary, Messenger, Prophet, Servant, Word of God, and a Spirit from God.
According to the Quran, the only reason Jesus was able to perform miracles while here on the earth, was because Allah allowed it (Surah 5:110).

During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles.  God tells us that Jesus said: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord.  I make for you the shape of a bird out of clay, I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by God’s permission.  I heal the blind from birth and the leper.  And I bring the dead to life by God’s permission.  And I tell you what you eat and what you store in your houses....” (Quran, 3:49).

Muslims believe that it was only the plan of Jesus’ enemies to crucify him, and God saved him and raised him up to join him. It is believed that another was put in Jesus' place and Jesus’ enemies took this man and crucified him, thinking that he was Jesus. As evident by the Quran "...They said, “We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God.” They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)..." (4:157).
