Answer
Your friends have misguided you. By not accepting Islam, you will be denying Jesus and his correct position. As a Muslim, belief in Jesus (Eesa - may the everlasting peace be upon him) is an integral article of our faith. A person cannot be a Muslim without believing in Jesus as one the greatest and holiest prophets of God.
And Allah Taãla Knows Best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
