-Is Jesus superior to Muhammad?
Is Jesus' ascension to heaven and the Prophet's burial in the ground not showing the superiority of Jesus (pbuh) over the Prophet (pbuh)?!

Jesus (pbuh) went to God and the Prophet of Islam (pbuh) was buried in the ground. Does this not indicate the superiority of Jesus (pbuh) over the Prophet (pbuh)?!

 In other words, verse 157 of Surah Nisa says they did not kill Christ; Rather, they killed someone like him. And in another place they say that Christ went to God, Christians also claim in this part that it is stated in Islam itself that Jesus is higher than Muhammad; Since Jesus (pbuh) went to God and Muhammad went to the ground, how do you refute this claim?

Regarding the end and how the life of Jesus (PBUH) ended in Christian religious sources, including the Bible, it is stated that his enemies crucified him on Friday; But three days after his death, on a Sunday, he came back to life and went to heaven.[1]

The Holy Book of the Qur'an; But he did not accept the killing and crucifixion of Jesus and said:  

and for their saying, ‘We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the apostle of Allah’—though they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but so it was made to appear to them. Indeed those who differ concerning him are surely in doubt about him: they do not have any knowledge of that beyond following conjectures, and certainly, they did not kill him. Indeed, Allah raised him up toward Himself, and Allah is all-mighty, all-wise( Surah 4 of the Qur'an, verses 157 and 158)[2].

Therefore, the meaning of going to God, if - as Christians believe - is the death of this prophet, then there is no difference between Jesus (pbuh) and the Prophet of Islam (pbuh) in this regard; Because they both passed away.

And if the meaning of going to God - as the Qur'anic verses indicate - is that Jesus did not die; Rather, he went to the heavens, in this case, there is still no proof of his superiority over the Prophet of Islam (pbuh); Because the Prophet (PBUH) ascended to all the heavens during his lifetime; Rather, he reached the highest position of closeness to God, that is, the position of his Ghosayn or Adna.

Result:

Although the beloved Prophet of Islam (PBUH) is superior and higher than all divine prophets, this characteristic does not make him have all the characteristics of other prophets.
