Short answer

No. The verse says "form", and form is not the same as being God. The Greek word, morphe, can mean an outward look. Mark 16:12, a passage added later to the end of Mark, uses it when Jesus appears "in another form" to two followers. Many scholars read the verse against Genesis, where Adam and Eve reach for the serpent's promise to be "as gods". On that reading, Jesus is the one who did not reach for equality with God (﷾). The next verses say that God (﷾) lifted him high and gave him the name above every name, all to the glory of God the Father. Paul, a Christian missionary of the first century, also writes that the head of Christ is God. Jesus said, "my Father is greater than I". So the passage shows a servant honoured by God (﷾). Islam teaches the same: Jesus was a servant of God (﷾).
