Understanding Jesus' Role in Islam: A Sincere Inquiry

Assalamu alaikum (peace be upon you). As someone who’s been exploring faith from a Christian background, I've been curious about how Islam views Jesus, peace be upon him. I know he's regarded as a prophet, but the details have been on my mind. Growing up without much religious background, I started looking into Catholicism and held the common Christian belief that Jesus, peace be upon him, was the final messenger. Yet, upon reflection, I realized that this isn’t explicitly stated in the texts, and I learned that Islam actually affirms Jesus, peace be upon him, was sent by God too, without claiming he would be the last. This got me thinking-does scripture even show him clearly claiming divinity, or are those interpretations? Phrases like 'Son of God' could be understood in a broader, spiritual sense, especially for a prophet in close communion with God. Now I’m re-evaluating: have I been focusing worship on a prophet instead of God alone? I'd appreciate some clarity on the Islamic perspective. How exactly do Muslims see Jesus, peace be upon him, as fulfilling earlier scriptures? Is he considered the Messiah from Jewish tradition, with Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, coming after? What about events like the Last Supper-how are they interpreted in Islam? And do Muslims believe Jesus, peace be upon him, will return as a prophet in the future? Sorry if my questions are a bit scattered! I'm just trying to learn honestly, hoping to find the truth that strengthens my faith, wherever that may lead. JazakAllah khair (may God reward you with goodness) for any insights.
