For the same reason Christians dont exalt Moses over Jesus

There's no ambiguity. The Quar'an states that Jesus was born of a virgin and as such, he's a prophet/messenger of God.

There's an entire section of the Qur'an dedicated to Mary (Surat Maryam). If you visit a shrine to Mary, you're likely to find as many Shiite pilgrims as you do Christian pilgrims.

Muslims also believe that on judgment day, Mohammad will join Jesus and some other prophets as God sits in judgment over people.

While the Qur'an believes both the old and new testaments, it also introduces some additional language to formalize "recruiting" into God's world as well as "family planning"."

Kind of like the Book of Mormon, which was found by a lizard or something in some field in New York, and was God's latest and greatest word.

If you have any questions on the latter, I'm sure the Mormon Church will be tickled pink you're interested.

It's kind of like how the early Jews were polytheistic, but held Yahweh above all the other gods. They didn't say there weren't other gods, just that he was the best.

Wouldn’t it be like a comparison between Jesus and for example John the Baptist?

It's an oddball part of Islam. How can a prophet be so venerated when they are supposed to be basic old sinners like the rest of us? Well, if you were to dis, say, Isiah, to a Jew or a Christian, not only would you get to keep your head but no one's even going to call you a blasphemer

They claim that Mohammed is not simply a prophet, he is Allah's messenger.
The rest are only prophets

Supposedly his message was the more complete revelation and was not corrupted by his successors.

for a deity whos a few centuries late to the party.
