Assalamu'alaikum and Pax Vobiscum,
Any teachings of the four Canonical Gospels attributed to Jesus that conforms and does not contradict Qur'anic commandments and the teachings of Islam are accepted and not questioned by Islam. E.g.
"He is One, and there is none beside Him."(Mark 12:32)
"Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is One, you shall Love your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength."(Mark 12:29-30)
"You shall worship the Lord, your God and serve Him only."(Matthew 4:10 and Luke 4:8)
"Jesus said to him,"Why do you call Me good? No one is good but God alone."(Mark 10:18)
These are in uniformity with the Islam viewpoint and concept Tawhid or of the Omnipotence and Unity of God Almighty; Surah 112(Al-Ikhlas), verse 1,"Say: He is God the One and Only". The qualities of God are mentioned in numerous places elsewhere e.g. 59:22 to 24, 61:1 and 2:225.
