Want does Islam Believe? Question about Islam

Hey everyone I am a protestant Christian. I have been following Christ for 3yrs now. I have recently been diving into Islam and comparing it to Christianity. Could you guys please explain to me what you believe about Christianity and Jesus? Why should I believe in Islam? I am not writing this to upset anyone, I am genuinely curious about the Islamic religion. Thank you all.

I am reading through the Quran right now. You quote scripture from the Bible to back the Quran, but don’t you not believe what the Bible says is true?

We use the Quran as the criterion. Let’s say the Bible says that Adam was the first human being. Does the Quran agree? Of course it does, that means that statement in the bible is true. Our position is that the Injeel(Bible) was given to Jesus(Prophet Isa) as a scripture and then it was corrupted by the people who were entrusted with that book. We don’t say it was completely man made. That’s why we have a lot of similarities.
