Muslims believe in Nabi and Rasul as the messengers of Allah to promote and teach Islam to human
There are 5 Ulu al-Azmi Rasul (Those who had been test with the highest test of faith and their live), 25 Rasul that Muslims must believe of their existences as messenger of Allah, and there are also around (approximately 24,000 other Rasul and approximately 313,000 Nabi that Allah SWT kept secret from us Muslims doing their job to preach Islam.

And futhermore, Muslims do BELIEVE in JESUS !!
Maybe we Muslims believe in JESUS more than Christians do..
The simple analogies are like this:
After a Muslim Professor had just finished his talk
about Islam in an open seminar, when suddenly a student raises his hand and
start asking question. This student is a loyal and pious Catholic student who
came just to listen to the talk and confuse people about Islam. So his question
sounds devilish to some of the listener.
“Professor, may I ask?” asked this student.
“Please, ask what may had confused you” said the
Professor politely.
“Than you sir”, he take a deep breath, and continue
his talking, “You said earlier in your speech that Muslims believe in God, in
Prophets, but why do I heard that Muslim doesn’t approve Jesus? Doesn’t this
belief contradict with what you said about Muslims?” he finished his question
with a loud clapping from the audience.
“Aah!!! Jesus Christ, the man of attention” replied
the Professor shortly. “Ok, about Jesus Christ. I will explain to you and all
audience what the Muslim really thought of him” Said the Professor. And he
continued: “All Muslim approve and know Jesus Christ. One who doesn’t approve
of Jesus Christ is not a complete Muslim in belief.”
“What, really Professor? How can you say that?” said
the student, realizing that he is now the one getting confusedinstead of trying
to confuse everyone else.
“Yes, true...really true. A Muslim is one who has to
believe in all prophets sent by Allah to educate and teach people of Islam,
from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Job, Jesus, to Muhammad. And all of these
prophets are messenger of Allah, not to be worship or anything. So these
prophets include Jesus Christ also. We Muslim believe in Jesus as the Messenger
of Allah only and not the God’s son or God like the Christian believe.”
explained the Professor.
This
statement shocked the student. Never before in his entire life, had he heard
that Muslims ever believe in Jesus, not that what he was taught in school or
church. That opens up his heart and mind to learn more about Islam, this time
not from Christian or Father, but from Muslim.
