wrote a comment on one my article ( perfectly applies here ) https://medium.com/p/926b0dc2b1a3

God is a perfect being who is devoid of any weakness and dependency, i.e all powerful and knowing ; similarly it can be just, merciful, sacred, truth, at the same time ; but yet its not dependent on those attributes . Greatest sin in Islam is associating partners with God.

So why human needs kids, obviously we have lot of weakness, we want to be loved , form relationship, continue our lineage , want some one to take care when we grow old .

So God cannot have son because its not dependent on any need and not share an iota of interference in any of its decision other wise its not God because than it will not be perfect and independent?

So Jesus is neither a God or Son of God, or does not in any way affect God decision or bring salvation, he can obviously Pray ( like all other Prophets did and seek Gods help)

Son is a loose term used in Bible, it could be a translation thing from Greek or that is how God want to refer to its prophet; also I am not a Scholar in any ways but simple search reveal

Adam was named Son in Bible “Luke began this genealogy with Jesus (Luke 3:23), and now ends it with Adam, the first human being (Genesis 2:7). In keeping with the pattern of Luke's genealogy, Adam is said to be the "son" of God, as he had no earthly parents.”

David, Psalm 89:20 ,27 NASB “I have found David My servant;With My holy oil I have anointed him,27 “I also shall make him My firstborn, The highest of the kings of the earth.

Also making Jesus son of God goes against logic and rationality, what is the point of sending so many Prophet to teach Monotheism before Jesus and how their salvation would be determined, if God is all powerful why it needs to sacrifice its son .

"The Muslim belief is that Jesus was a prophet. Jesus performs the will of Jehovah which is to establish Jehovah’s law here on earth. Are we on the same accord with this statement?"

Yes and no, Jesus is a prophet send on Allah command but he was send to specific people of bani Israel , Jews and not to whole world; his message was for that tribe and not universal ( if you are looking to understand real Jesus here is the link with verses in Quran https://yaqeeninstitute.org/read/post/who-is-jesus-in-islam)

Please read carefully

And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

His focus was on certain people, so though God has given him miracle, he do not wanted to help a Canan lady , but since she was bothering , disciple pushed Jesus to sort it out than he again said I am only entitled to only certain people. It was not his mission to preach to whole world, same pattern is followed in every Prophet before Jesus ; they were meant for a time, society and nation

Paul mainly is the cause that opened up Christianity to Genitals ; and than again he added lot of concept which are not part of Original message
