Why is it not permissibleto wear garments on which it is written “I love Jesus” even though we believe in ‘Eesa (peace be upon him) and love him?, Dought clear - ,

Our Islamic religion forbids us to wear garments and T-shirts that
contain the phrase "I love Jesus" but even we, according to our
religion, love 'Eesa and believe in him, so why is it is forbidden to
us to wear them?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Yes, it is part of the belief of the Muslims andone of the pillars of
theirreligion to believe in all the Prophet and Messengers of Allah –
may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon them – as Allah, may He
be exalted, says:
"Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which has been sent
down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham),
Ismail (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Yaqoob (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat
(the twelve sons of Yaqoob (Jacob)), and that which has been given to
Moosa(Moses) and 'Eesa (Jesus),and that which has beengiven to the
Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them,
and to Him we have submitted (in Islam)."
[al-Baqarah 2:136]
"The Messenger (Muhammad ) believes inwhat has been sent down to him
from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah,
His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say:We make no
distinction between one another of His Messengers - and they say: We
hear, and we obey. (We seek) YourForgiveness, our Lord, and to You is
the return (of all)."
[al-Baqarah 2:285].
Believing in all the Prophets means loving them, respecting them,
venerating them and acknowledging their virtue.
But this phrase that you mention, "I love Jesus", is something that
belongs exclusively to the Christians and has become a slogan or
symbol for them, because Jesus (Yasoo' in Arabic) is the name that the
Christians give to theProphet of Allah 'Eesa (peace be upon him).
They distorted the name 'Eesa to Yasoo', just as they distorted the
name Yahya to Yohanna (John), Yoonus to Yoonaan (Jonah) and Maryam to
Mary.
There is nothing in the words of Allah, may He be exalted, or in the
words of His Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) or
in the words of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them),
indeed we do not know of anything in the wordsof any of the scholars
of Ahl as-Sunnah in which the name Yasoo' (Jesus) is used to refer to
the Prophet of Allah 'Eesa (peace be upon him). Rather the names that
are used are " 'Eesa" or "al-Maseeh (the Messiah)."
The Muslims say: We believe in 'Eesa (peace be upon him) and we love
him, and we seek todraw close to Allah, may He be exalted, by loving
him. But we do not say as these people say who have distorted the
religion of Allah and changed the words of Allah, "We believe in
Yasoo' (Jesus) and love him."
Similarly, the word "Yasoo'" for the Christians means "The Redeemer",
and they believe that their religion that they follow is the religion
of redemption. So the name Yasoo' and its meaning is connected totheir
false beliefs. Hence it is not permissible to imitate them in that.
The Messiah 'Eesa ibn Maryam is the Prophet ofAllah and His Messenger
in whom we believe, and we believe that he foretold the coming of our
Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him); he isnot
"Yasoo' the Redeemer, the son of God, the third of three" in whom the
Christians believe.
The phrase that you mention refers to the latter and is a slogan for a
religion of kufr. For this reason it is not allowed and it is not
permissible for a Muslim to write it or to wear a garment on which it
is written.
