Muhammad did not understand Christian theology. Jesus is understood to be God in Christian theology because he has the attributes of God not because he explicitly calls himself God. One of the attributes of God is Judgement of mankind (see Matthew 25:31-46). Only God judges mankind. When inventing Islam Muhammad borrowed the idea of Jesus sitting in judgement over mankind from Christianity. When he did so he unwittingly claimed that Jesus was God.
Bukhari Hadith 4:658
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said "How will you be when the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus)
descends amongst you and he will judge people by the Law of the Quran
and not by the law of Gospel (Fateh-ul Bari page 304 and 305 Vol 7)
