As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,
Trinitarians argue against this by saying Prophets are Servants, Jesus is the Son (
Matthew 21:33-46). I am currently working on this one. Special Lords have special Sonship in the Bible. Jesus is a higher Son than the Servants (Prophets). But they too are called Sons. But Jesus' Lordship is only limited to his Kingdom and inheritance. He is called the "Heir of GOD". But the Bible defines his inheritance to be
earth and its Heaven only. And Jesus spoke about many Mansions and that he is preparing one for his followers. This means there are other Lords like Jesus for other Mansions. I elaborated on this point in details at the links above:

www.answering-christianity.com/godtitle.htmThe Servants are the Prophets of Israel. But he is "the Son" because
he is the Messiah, the highest Jew and highest Jewish Prophet.
Sonship in the Glorious Quran:I don't know why Muslims continue to fail to make the following argument that seriously blows away the trinity garbage and the claim that the Quran denies the sonship of Jesus, therefore Islam is false because the
Bible speaks COUNTLESS TIMES about the sons of GOD.
The Quran does not deny there were sons of GOD. Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran only denied that actual partners and/or persons exist that share the Power, or are part of GOD Almighty. Allah Almighty Said:
"And they say: "(God) Most Gracious has begotten offspring." Glory to Him! they are (but) servants raised to honour. (The Noble Quran, 21:26)"If one says that the Senior writers of this blog are legal owners of
www.answering-christianity.com, and I say that only Osama Abdallah is the legal owner of this website, then I would not be denying that they are STILL ACTIVE AND SENIOR WRITERS on this site.
Similarly, Allah Almighty NEVER DENIED the actual title "Son of GOD" in
Noble Verse 21:26. He only denied that they actually have any Divine Power or Will or Partnership with Him, the Almighty. In Islam we don't have this title, because Allah Almighty Commanded us to never us it. We also find that all of the Prophecies about the SERVANT who will come from Arabia, in the Old Testament, all refer to him as ABD (SERVANT). But the Almighty also Said in the Glorious Quran that He did send different Islams to people before us:
5:48 وانزلنا اليك الكتاب بالحق مصدقا لما بين يديه من الكتاب ومهيمنا عليه فاحكم بينهم بما انزل الله ولاتتبع اهواءهم عما جاءك من الحق
لكل جعلنا منكم شرعة ومنهاجا ولو شاء الله لجعلكم امة واحدة ولكن ليبلوكم فيما اتاكم فاستبقوا الخيرات الى الله مرجعكم جميعا فينبئكم بما كنتم فيه تختلفون
[005:048] To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what God hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If God had so willed, He would have made you a single people ONE UMMAH امة واحدة, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to God; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;Please visit:

www.answering-christianity.com/islam.htmThere are Hadiths from Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, that speak about
THE FAMILY OF GOD أهل الله in Heaven. The Believers there will be all called the FAMILY OF ALLAH. See the link above.
Furthermore, both the Glorious Quran and the Bible declare that Ishmael's Covenant is for the
latter generations. Yes, I quoted both books on this one:
www.answering-christianity.com/predict.htmMuhammad, the Prophet, is not Jesus' Servant. This is because he will bring the New Covenant, and he will be a descendant of Kedar, Ishmael's Son. This is why Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, in the OT was called
"This is my Servant (another word for Son) whom I love". And the OT makes ample Prophecies about two Servants:
1- One who will be born in Bethlehem.
2- One who will be a descendant of Kedar and is from the desert.
Jesus was also called ABD (SLAVE) in the Old Testament:

More on all of the above in my next article, insha'Allah.
Take care,
Osama Abdallah
