Wa Alaikum As'salam dear brother Isa,
Sorry for neglecting you. I will get back to answering you promptly, Insha'Allah. Here is the answer to your post:
John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.Notice in verse 1, Jesus told the already believing Jews that they believe in GOD Almighty, and that they must also believe in Jesus. Notice how Jesus here, as he always does, makes it abundantly clear that he is a mere Messenger from GOD Almighty, and not GOD Almighty Himself.
Jesus' Kingdom is One Mansion in Heaven:Notice also in verse 2 Heaven's
many Mansions, and that Jesus was going to go prepare a place, - a mansion, - for his followers in Heaven. Jesus' Kingdom is One Mansion in Heaven. So Jesus doesn't occupy all of Heaven. And this makes sense since he is no more than an Honorable Messenger of GOD Almighty; a very special one, but he remains only a Messenger nonetheless.
Also regarding the Mansion point, I've written an article about it that discusses it from both the Bible and the Holy Quran. Islam is in agreement with this:

are all One in GOD Almighty:

The Bible even says in both the NT and OT that Jesus never even died. For ample and thorough proofs to everything I said, please visit:
