Was Jesus crucified? What does the Qur'an actually say?

I discuss surah 4 verse 157 in its context and how its interpretation has been the subject of vigorous debate among Muslims for centuries.
I read from 'The Crucifixion and the Qur'an: A Study in the History of Muslim Thought' by Todd Lawson www.amazon.co....
A new translation of 4:157 says:
and for boasting, “We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” But they neither killed nor crucified him-it was only made to appear so. Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever-only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him.

@@salah777 Those that wrote the Bible teach there is one God. There is no writer of either the new or old testament that was a pagan. Read Isaiah 44 and 45 and you can see God really showing the folly of Paganism. If you really think the Bible was written by Pagans you need to prove it to yourself. You will discover it wasn't. I'm going to guess you are saying this because of the doctrine of the trinity, but that is a false understanding of the trinity. Consider an actor that plays 3 different roles. It is the same actor but he represents 3 different characters. We wouldn't say we believe 3 actors played the 3 roles. God is one God. Allah was one of many pagan Gods in the Kabbalah. and marching around it 7 times was based on pagan beliefs. Look it up if you don't believe me. Islam is way more Pagan than the God of the Bible.

@Mourad arkjid It is not me or my experience that determines truth, but I will answer your question. I have read an English translation of the Koran from cover to cover and I have read many of the sayings that are attributed to Mohammed in the Hadiths. I've watched Muslim and Christian apologists debate each other and watched Muslim and Christian KZbin channels defending their faiths. So yes, I have read quite a bit about Islam. I am a Christian apologist that is not afraid of losing my Christianity. I have been friends with Muslims I have met and worked with, but they generally don't know much about their own faith. Read Psalm 22 in the Bible and then read about Jesus in any of the 4 Gospels. It is clear from the Bible that Jesus fulfilled prophecies about him made in the Old Testament. Muslim's claim to believe in the Psalms and in prophecy, so I encourage you to study it.

Brother Paul, I very much enjoy listening to your videos while I drive, so thank you! When you say that whether or not one wants to believe the Quran, well it’s a matter of faith, I think that sounds like something the Christians would say about the Bible but one of the reasons I was convinced that Islam is the truth was because of what some call “scientific miracles” in the Quran. For instance, the stages of the embryo or the fact that the Quran identifies the worker bee as female and there are several others but these things I don’t think could have been known by any man or woman in the time of Muhammad (pbuh), especially the great detail of conception and the stages of the embryo which one would need a microscope and some knowledge to have known. I hope this did not come across as rude or anything just my thoughts and feelings of the matter.

[@rossg6907]

Gary Dalbec oh but embryologist have recognized the Qurans insight into the stages of the development of the embryo! You are wrong sir. Ever heard of Dr. Keith Moore? You people are just grabbing at straws, anything you can but I hate it for you. If you want to believe that God was a man or that he would have his own son killed in a human sacrifice (which the Old Testament says that human sacrifice is an abomination to God but go ahead believe as you wish) or that he would have someone else pay for your sins, go ahead(even though Ezekiel ch18vs20 goes against that as well) but stop wasting my time and yours with crazy claims against the Quran, it’s a book that someone who thinks like you will never understand.

There is plenty of information readily available to anyone who would like know the truth on different websites and even many KZbin videos where people have graciously given their own time to produce such valuable information to those who seek it. If you choose to watch it May I also suggest looking into Dr Maurice Buccaille as well, he was a Well known French doctor for one of the Kings of Saudi Arabia and a best selling author who made some incredible discoveries concerning Ramsey 2 of Egypt and correctly identifying him as the Pharoh who drowned chasing Moses across the Red Sea. Neither the Bible or the Quran spoke of the Pharoh by name but in the Quran Allah does tell the Pharoh as he is drowning that his body will be preserved as an example for future generations. Dr.Bucailles story is an amazing one but you should read it yourself as nothing I say is going to make you see. May Allah guide you.

[@shahfaisalislam8719]

Firstly, your response is the most honest in terms of what the verse comments about disputing over it, as in "Those who disputed about him are deeply in doubt about him. They have no knowledge whatsoever, except the following of strong assumption." Picking sides and arguing over it as the Quran has warned is going to be all about following strong assumptions and remaining drowned in doubt about it. So the best bet is to say 'I don't know', to avoid being in doubt or taking strong assumptions. This is the answer I like the most. Secondly, I like how you started with the context. You may not know it, but even Arabic supports your choice of starting from that verse: The first words of the verse in question, و قولِهم has the slanted line diacritic under the letter 'laam', and this happens only if there is a letter or word coming before, that forced this diacritic to be there. This letter is the letter baa in the starting of the preceding verse, and that verse is connected back to preceding verse and they all go back to where you started from. Thirdly, again you may not know it but Arabic supports your way of opening up the possibilities. If Allah wanted, he would have given a clear-cut denial by saying 'he was not killed nor was he crucified', but He rather said 'they did not kill him nor did they crucify him'. The fact that the part 'they did not kill him certainly' repeating the assertion that Jews failed should ring a bell that it is not so clear cut. One would say the Romans did put the title of 'Jesus the King of Jews' after crucifixion and refer to the beginning of the verse where it says 'Messiah Jesus' but Romans did not call him 'Son of Mary' or 'Messenger of Allah' and it is departing from Quran's language to pull a verse of out of context and say it is talking about Romans not crucifiying him, while all verses before it referred to Jews when using the words 'they' or 'them'. Now, there is a point where I am finding it a bit hard to agree, which is that empirical problem. It is because the verse is more than just about whether they crucified him(which is in parenthesis hehehe, pun intended): It also strongly asserts, using super strong Arabic language (there are at least five mechanics used in total that I can see from my knowledge), the following: "Those who dispute about it are deeply in doubt. There have about it no knowledge whatsoever, except the following of strong assumptions". If we look now, those who are disputing over the matter are not with clear-cut evidences. The side that assumes he was crucified has to strongly assume the historicity of the event which is getting more doubtful. The side that assumes otherwise has to strongly assume this conclusion first and then read it into the old testament, the new testament, and the quran in that light and will find backing there but not an explicit one. The fact that the verse very strongly mentioned the uncertainty of positions, and the need of strongly assuming to take positions for those who are going to dispute over it while they are drowning in doubt about it is something remarkable of a statement to make 14 centuries ago according to me. Certainty about the uncertainty of positions to come. Do let me know if you would like to know about the mechanics used for boosting certainty of this part of the verse which was not in parenthesis 😊. If Allah Wills, they are very easy to learn and have been used separately throughout quran (rarely are the mechanics combined together like this I believe) It was an amazing summary, thank you so much for it.

ADAM (PBUH), THE FIRST MAN ON EARTH, LIVED 5,800 YEARS AGO As per the genealogy of Jesus Christ given in the Bible, from Jesus through Abraham (pbuh) to the first man on earth i.e. Adam (pbuh), Adam appeared on the earth approximately 5800 years ago: 1948 years between Adam (pbuh) and Abraham (pbuh) Approximately 1800 years between Abraham (pbuh) and Jesus (pbuh) 2000 years from Jesus (pbuh) till today These figures are further confused by the fact that the Jewish calendar is currently on or about 5800 years old. There is sufficient evidence from archaeological and anthropological sources to suggest that the first human being on earth was present tens of thousands of years ago and not merely 5,800 years ago as is suggested by the Bible. The Qur’an too speaks about Adam (pbuh) as the first man on earth but it does not suggest any date or period of his life on earth, unlike the Bible - what the Bible says in this regard is totally incompatible with science. 12. NOAH (PBUH) AND THE FLOOD The Biblical description of the flood in Genesis chapter 6, 7 and 8 indicates that the deluge was universal and it destroyed every living thing on earth, except those present with Noah (pbuh) in the ark. The description suggests that the event took place 1656 years after the creation of Adam (pbuh) or 292 years before the birth of Abraham, at a time when Noah (pbuh) was 600 years old. Thus the flood may have occurred in the 21st or 22nd Century B.C. This story of the flood, as given in the Bible, contradicts scientific evidence from archaelogical sources which indicate that the eleventh dynasty in Egypt and the third dynasty in Babylonia were in existence without any break in civilisation and in a manner totally unaffected by any major calamity which may have occurred in the 21st century B.C. This contradicts the Biblical story that the whole world had been immersed in the flood water. In contrast to this, the Qur’anic presentation of the story of Noah and the flood does not conflict with scientific evidence or archaeological data; firstly, the Qur’an does not indicate any specific date or year of the occurance of that event, and secondly, according to the Qur’an the flood was not a universal phenomenon which destroyed complete life on earth. In fact the Qur’an specifically mentions that the flood was a localised event only involving the people of Noah. It is illogical to assume that Prophet Muhummad (pbuh) had borrowed the story of the flood from the Bible and corrected the mistakes before mentioning it in the Qur’an. 13. MOSES (PBUH) AND PHARAOH OF THE EXODUS The story of Moses (pbuh) and the Pharaoh of the Exodus are very much identical in the Qur’an and the Bible. Both scriptures agree that the Pharaoh drowned when he tried to pursue Moses (pbuh) and led the Israelites across a stretch of water that they crossed. The Qur’an gives an additional piece of information in Surah Yunus chapter 10 verse 92: "This day shall We save thee in thy body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! But verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!" [Al-Qur’an 10:92] Dr. Maurice Bucaille, after a thorough research proved that although Rameses II was known to have persecuted the Israelites as per the Bible, he actually died while Moses (pbuh) was taking refuge in Median. Rameses II’s son Merneptah who succeeded him as Pharaoh drowned during the exodus. In 1898, the mummified body of Merneptah was found in the valley of Kings in Egypt. In 1975, Dr. Maurice Bucaille with other doctors received permission to examine the Mummy of Merneptah, the findings of which proved that Merneptah probably died from drowning or a violent shock which immediately preceeded the moment of drowning. Thus the Qur’anic verse that we shall save his body as a sign, has been fulfilled by the Pharaohs’ body being kept at the Royal Mummies room in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. This verse of the Qur’an compelled Dr. Maurice Bucaille, who was a Christian then, to study the Qur’an. He later wrote a book ‘The Bible, the Qur’an and Science’, and confessed that the author of the Qur’an can be no one else besides God Himself. Thus he embraced Islam. 14. QUR’AN IS A BOOK FROM ALLAH These evidences are sufficient to conclude that the Qur’an was not copied from the Bible, but that the Qur’an is the Furqaan - ‘the Criteria’ to judge right from wrong and it should be used to decipher which portion of the Bible may be considered as the Word of God. The Qur’an itself testifies in Surah Sajda chapter 32 verse 1 to 3 Alif Laam Meem. (This is) the revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds. Or do they say, ‘He has forged it’? Nay, it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayest admonish a people to whom no warner has come before thee: in order that they may receive guidance."

Dear Paul, thank you very much that was very interesting. You really have conveyed the message as it is. Yes people can interpret but the fact remains as you mentioned from the Quranic encyclopedia @11:35. If I may contribute to the subject, it is mentioned that Jesus had knowledge from God of the plot to kill him. In the Bible where Jesus says to his disciples “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him". I'm not quoting the versus numbers, but it is mentioned in a few places. And in the Quran, surah 2 v 55. Clearly anyone with such knowledge would try to escape but he knew his killing would never happen and instead he knew of his ascention. It is also worth mentioning that Jesus was an absolute phenomena that has no parallel in human history. His birth was a miracle, his works were miraculous, his end was as miraculous and mysterious as his beginning. This was a tremendous test or trial for those who believe in the oneness of God and what this God is capable of doing. The Jews denied that Jesus was the Messiah and the Gentiles made him a diety. Sadly both parties let Jesus down because his main message was to worship the one and only God. The same message given to every prophet from Adam to Muhammed, peace be upon them all.

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come" Allah says about Mohammed in the Quran, 1) By the star when it goes down/descends (2) Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred (3) Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination/desire (4) He is not but a revelation revealed. I don't understand why Christianity puts so much emphasis on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus!! Where was Jesus after the resurrection and what did he do? Also the whole thing is based on hearsay. Brother Jabba, I can go on trying to explain to you but it will not change a thing in you if you don't open your heart and mind and go directly to God to guide you to his true path. And by the way rat poison was not invented yet during the time of Mohammed. Simply his time on earth has come to an end just like you and I we'll meet the same fate. But when you are resurrected to face your God and tell Him Jesus was my God, that will be associating partners with God and its the only sin that God does not forgive. Be aware and mindful, may Allah guide you.

When faced with archaeoligical findings and analysis of historical texts and documents, Quranic statements within a historical context tend to be correct compared to biblical ones. A good example for this is "Haman, the minister for stone quarries of the Pharaoh" as stated in the Quran and proven later by archaeological findings.

One important argument for non crucifixion of jesus is Jewish theologies believe that a messenger of god cannot be killed. Here a distinction needs to be drawn between messenger(rasul in Arabic) and a prophet(nabi in Arabic). In layman's terms messenger usually bring them a scripture and a law with them. Noah abraham moses jesus and Muhammad according to quran are rasul. That's why in the same verse you talked about in its initial part, quran says ( 4:157) And because of their saying, "We killed Al- Masih `Isa, son of Maryam, the Messenger of Allah, Here it is clear that they are taunting upon jesus and using oxymoron(according to their perspective) that they 'killed' jesus 'messenger of Allah' suggesting since jesus was killed, he cannot be a messenger of Allah as he claims to be

And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve, until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return; then I will judge between you regarding what you were disputing.

Sorry Paul for this belated addition to comments on your able summary of the general Muslim position on the claim of Jesus's crucifixion. A major departure from this position is provided by the Ahmadi and Qadiani (both not generally accepted by mainstream as Muslims). These two groups, one of which runs the Woking Mosque in Surrey, believe that the interpretation of the Quran does not preclude the nailing of Jesus to the cross. That action, however, did not end in death and Jesus cannot be said to have been crucified ( which means to put someone to death on the cross). Apart from any explanation by officials from the Woking Mosque, the following two publications would be useful : Jesus in Heaven on Earth by Khwaja Nazir Ahmad, and The Quran, English translation and commentary by Muhammad Ali.

[@jordanh5803]

As a Muslim and an Arab I can tell you that in no way is the verse in parenthesis, and is indeed the point of the verse (there are no side notes within the text of the Quran) BUT you're absolutely right in regards to how that's been interpreted by Muslim scholars, some believe that the "made to believe" part refers to the whole event while others believe it only refers to the death part and both are credible interpretations of the verse even though they can't be true simultaneously... The verse says "they killed him not nor had they crucify him, but rather they were made to believe as such" so the last part could theoretically be in reference to Jesus PBUH not being crucified (someone was crucified in his stead) , OR it could mean that the death on the cross didn't Infact happen because the condition of death on a cross wasn't fulfilled and Jesus didn't actually die on the cross but "they were made to believe" he actually died ... I tend to lean towards the latter interpretation but I can understand where the other interpretation comes from.

[@jordanh5803]

So in a nutshell Muslims argue whether Jesus PBUH actually was on the cross or someone who was made to look like him... What both parties agree on however is the fact that Jesus did NOT actually die on the cross (which means that they all agree that Jesus in fact was spared death as he asked)...

Below is an excerpt from Chapter VI of “Messiah” by the late Dr. Jerald Dirks: Having analyzed the name “Jesus bar Abbas,” one is once again forced to confront a somewhat disturbing question, i.e., which of the two men named Jesus was actually crucified? In that regard, it is really no answer at all to say that the one who was crucified was “Jesus who is called the Messiah.” Both men were named Jesus, and both men appear to have been messianic figures. Further, once one understands that Jesus bar Abbas means Jesus the son of the Father, the issue becomes increasingly confusing. Certainly for most Christians, Jesus the son of the Father is the Jesus they hold as the central figure in their religion. Was this Jesus actually released by Pontius Pilate? An affirmative answer to that question is not as unheard of as one might imagine. In point of fact, numerous early Christian writings maintained that it was not Jesus Christ who was crucified.

What I really would like to know is how those who hold the opinion he was actually crucified understand the context of the next ayah: 4:158 Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise. How do they understand the use of the word "bal" = rather/instead? Allah raised him up to himself rather than what?

[@AlJaathiyah45_23]

Crucifixion appeared in Quran and Old Testament in life history of Joseph (pbuh). Other historical events were those of Joshua pbuh and the crucifixion of the Kings are based on Deuteronomy. No knowledge may also means that the Jews has not certain knowledge of crucifixion. Quran provides the answer of question among disputed group of Israeliates - Jews and Christians. .

[@ADAM_sigma]

That's the BEST explanation I heard in decades of me chasing this quandary and question as a MUSLIM myself. Muslim scholars really have never been able to fully explore and extrapolate a more definitive opinion on the cruxifiction. We as Muslims do believe that Christ was NOT "crucified" in the most literal Christian sense. But that's as far as we go. We revere Isa "Christ" (PBUH) as a messenger just as much as Muhammad (PBUH) with the later being loved and adored much more. But in reverence Muslim scholars I think have stayed away from really extrapolating a verdict because in the end...to a Muslim it really doesn't matter. ONLY ALLAH matters and HIS instructions matter far more. Great clarification on this subject though...many thanks!!

[@BloggingTheology]

[@sutil5078]

Dear Adam, are you a revert/convert? The classical view of Muslim scholars on crucifixion is based on their knoweldge of how God uses the language too.. When Allah's , SW, deny a thing with a word or affirm a thing with a word frequently if it encompasses the 2 meanings of the word. both meaning apply. Notice "they killed him not NOR crucify him" What is the obvious first read on this? that is the answer. example when God said Roman was defeated but will win "fei adna" adna mean the closest land (to Arabia) but Adna means to lowest, and both meaning apply, dead sea area is the closest to Arabia and it is the lowest land on earth (ardh) not sea. Add to that God deny the killing AND the crucifixion process Ali Ataie, insinuate , and Shabir pointed out that crucifixion has 2 meaning: 1. crucified and died on the cross 2. crucified but then taken down from the cross without dying. That is true, but: if it is the First meaning Allah saying they did not Kill him debunk the first meaning of word "Crucifixion". If the second meaning happened (nailed to the cross but survived), then the quran would be partially inaccurate because it would miss the first meaning of the word crucifixion (that is he was crucified AND DIED, on the cross). reader need to read that again.. it requires concentration.. Further, If God said "but they did not CRUCIFY him" alone without the verb "kill" then that would be a different story, (it open the possibility that they may or MAY NOT killed him by other mean). Another point to consider, if the 1st meaning of crucifixion happened, he was killed, : Allah would be saying the did not kill him (that is enough) NOR killed him (by mean of hanging on the cross), that is unnecessary given the first word "they did not kill him which encompass death by crucifixion) so why God added NOR crucified him? this would render a redundant word, though you can argue saying that Quran sometimes use emphatic language, yes that is true but only to affirm a thing further: they did not kill him AND OR crucified him, that is, In the sense of "they did not kill him NOT EVEN he was hanged on the cross). Also this verse may shed light " Indeed, the penalty1 for those who wage war2 against Allāh and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment" Quran 5-33 I bet the word crucified here mans dying by crucifixion not just hanged on the cross and taken away!! hence when God said "they did not kill him NOR Crucified him" it means he was not killed by mean of crucifixion... I know this may sound confusing that is why I urge the interested reader to read carefully. If crucifixion has 2 meanings , 1 die, and or 2 just hanged but survived, and Jesus may have been put on the cross but survived, then Quran would be partially imprecise to meet the second meaning because the main meaning of the word Is killed by mean of crucifixion!! And Quran is far from imprecision. PLUS when in doubt, I think God would not allow it for his messenger to be killed or humiliated that way. If you argue that there were prophets before him who were killed, the answer will be yes but Quran did not say MESSENGERS, and Jesus was Messenger of Almighty, and not in this atrocious way. I have a theory about the nuances of the substitute theory, if it ever happened, though as you know as Muslims it is not part of our creed to know what happen to Jesus pbuh. Not even the death of any prophet. To the Church it is different story. And God knows best

[@sutil5078]

I agree and by the way tafsir is not something that should not be questioned.. but in this regard , on this verse, I think they understood the verse perfectly, and got it right, and add some of what they heard from israeliat as entertainment of what other have said .. they never meant to be believed, even the authors of tafsir never expected us to believe what they say outside of Quran from isaraeliaat but they pick it up as interesting notes of what was circulating back then. And as you know , to us Muslims, we follow Quran and a death of any prophet, any one, has no bearing to our salvation issue. But when we debate Christians we try to see all views, debate it with them.. because it is central issue to them...

Important correction to Paul's conclusion in the minute 21:00: The verse is more than clear and precise (in Arabic) leading the reader/listener to deny The crucifixion and death of Jesus and to believe instead that he was made to ascend to his creator. In Arabic, there is no way to even remotely understand that the verse carries the denial of the Jews being the perpetrators of the crucifixion while throwing the blame onto the Romans.

There is sufficient evidence from archaeological and anthropological sources to suggest that the first human being on earth was present tens of thousands of years ago and not merely 5,800 years ago as is suggested by the Bible. The Qur’an too speaks about Adam (pbuh) as the first man on earth but it does not suggest any date or period of his life on earth, unlike the Bible - what the Bible says in this regard is totally incompatible with science. 12. NOAH (PBUH) AND THE FLOOD The Biblical description of the flood in Genesis chapter 6, 7 and 8 indicates that the deluge was universal and it destroyed every living thing on earth, except those present with Noah (pbuh) in the ark. The description suggests that the event took place 1656 years after the creation of Adam (pbuh) or 292 years before the birth of Abraham, at a time when Noah (pbuh) was 600 years old. Thus the flood may have occurred in the 21st or 22nd Century B.C. This story of the flood, as given in the Bible, contradicts scientific evidence from archaelogical sources which indicate that the eleventh dynasty in Egypt and the third dynasty in Babylonia were in existence without any break in civilisation and in a manner totally unaffected by any major calamity which may have occurred in the 21st century B.C. This contradicts the Biblical story that the whole world had been immersed in the flood water. In contrast to this, the Qur’anic presentation of the story of Noah and the flood does not conflict with scientific evidence or archaeological data; firstly, the Qur’an does not indicate any specific date or year of the occurance of that event, and secondly, according to the Qur’an the flood was not a universal phenomenon which destroyed complete life on earth. In fact the Qur’an specifically mentions that the flood was a localised event only involving the people of Noah. It is illogical to assume that Prophet Muhummad (pbuh) had borrowed the story of the flood from the Bible and corrected the mistakes before mentioning it in the Qur’an. 13. MOSES (PBUH) AND PHARAOH OF THE EXODUS The story of Moses (pbuh) and the Pharaoh of the Exodus are very much identical in the Qur’an and the Bible. Both scriptures agree that the Pharaoh drowned when he tried to pursue Moses (pbuh) and led the Israelites across a stretch of water that they crossed. The Qur’an gives an additional piece of information in Surah Yunus chapter 10 verse 92: "This day shall We save thee in thy body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! But verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!" [Al-Qur’an 10:92] Dr. Maurice Bucaille, after a thorough research proved that although Rameses II was known to have persecuted the Israelites as per the Bible, he actually died while Moses (pbuh) was taking refuge in Median. Rameses II’s son Merneptah who succeeded him as Pharaoh drowned during the exodus. In 1898, the mummified body of Merneptah was found in the valley of Kings in Egypt. In 1975, Dr. Maurice Bucaille with other doctors received permission to examine the Mummy of Merneptah, the findings of which proved that Merneptah probably died from drowning or a violent shock which immediately preceeded the moment of drowning. Thus the Qur’anic verse that we shall save his body as a sign, has been fulfilled by the Pharaohs’ body being kept at the Royal Mummies room in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. This verse of the Qur’an compelled Dr. Maurice Bucaille, who was a Christian then, to study the Qur’an. He later wrote a book ‘The Bible, the Qur’an and Science’, and confessed that the author of the Qur’an can be no one else besides God Himself. Thus he embraced Islam. 14.

The Qur’an itself testifies in Surah Sajda chapter 32 verse 1 to 3 Alif Laam Meem. (This is) the revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds.

Allah would have stopped in the terms : they didn’t kill him nor crucified him . Only( wich may mean somebody else did) Why adding: it appeared to them ! Either they started to do so or where witnessing the act of crucifixion but this wasn’t real ( maybe somebody else looking like him ,or a vision : we have in the sira of prophet Mohammed (pbuh) that he escaped from the unbeleivers while they were waiting outside his home to kill him and that allah make them like blind until he left ) maybe that’s what happened to Jesus (pbuh) .and then he was raised by allah (not died) this explains that he will come back in the last time ( Allah said that there is no changes in allah order , Jesus can’t die and then resurrect in the same live , once a human dies he resurrect in the day of judgement.

The story of Jesus Christ peace be upon him as narrated by Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, is not entirely true as no one knows about the true identity of the writers. Allah the Creator of the universe and everything in it had the inside knowledge of what happened and since He is the Author of Qur'an there's no crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

[@brianingram4709]

@Faisal Siraj Peace be with you. I am glad that you implicitly acknowledge that the scriptures (both old and new) are the word of God, not man. The death of Jesus was part of a divine plan to save humanity. The death and resurrection of this one man is at the very heart of the Christian faith. For Christians, it is through Jesus's death that people's broken relationship with God, from the time of the fall in the Garden of Eden, is restored. This is known as the Atonement From God’s promise to provide a sacrifice (Genesis 22:8-14), to the prophecy that the Messiah would be cut off (Daniel 9:26), to almost innumerable promises and prophecies in-between, it all had to be fulfilled in the death of Jesus. Even the way Jesus would die was prophesied hundreds of years before it happened (Psalm 22:11-18, Zechariah 12:10 Isaiah 53:7b). Jesus lived His entire life in obedience to God the Father, but it was important for Him to remain faithful unto death. In John 12:27-28 Jesus said shortly before He went to the cross: "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose, I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.” In the video it is asserted that Christ's disciples were to far away from the cross to verify if it truly was Christ on the cross, however, we have this account just before Christ's death. “Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, 'Dear woman, here is your son,' 27 and to the disciple, 'Here is your mother.' From that time on, this disciple took her into his home." (John 19:25-27)

[@brianingram4709]

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment, he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people, he was punished. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, (crucified between two thieves) and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; (The resurrection of Christ) by his knowledge, my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” -Isaiah 52:13-53:12

@Faisal Siraj Engaging in hyperbole and accusing me of what you are doing, that is ignoring the evidence of Christ divinity, His mission including death on the cross from the old testament scriptures I have provided, will not advance a fruitful discussion. Also in regards to Hebrew and understanding the translation to English, there are online resources of the Old Testament in Hebrew to help the interested in understanding the translation.

[@sprachenwelt]

Dear Paul, the translation is good, but it has one typical mistake, most Muslims themselves make. In other words, the translation reflects, what the Muslims believe. See, the word used for the crucifixion is derived from "salaba", which actually means to make something stiff. So the cross is "Saleeb". That is why in another verse the talk is of: "And I will fix them on trunks of palms". In this verse also the same verb is used but is not to be understood as a cross-shape. So the verse in question: "And they have not killed him and they have not made him stiff, but it was made to them to seem like that" is fully logical. As people first die, then become stiff. The word for cross is identical to the word for stiff, but not because of the cross-shape, but because people are fixed on the cross and are stiff. So in my understanding, and I am a tiny light under the scholars, Jesus was hung on the cross, but did not die and hence never became stiff. This is also, why the verse goes on to say: "and they have not killed him with confidence."

[@omarawad5705]

I just want to say that I followed along with my actual Quran. It is not an assumption nor interpretation it shouldn't actually be between brackets its clearly stated I found a more accurate translation. (and for boasting, “We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” But they neither killed nor crucified him-it was only made to appear so. Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever-only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him. ) the previous and next verses I think clearly state that nobody actually killed the real Jesus but they saw themselves killing Jesus because god made it appear so. (Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. )

[@southernman4837]

I am sure I read in The Bible that after a couple of days of Jesus's crucifixion his disciples were having a meal when Jesus visited them, they were scared as they thought it was the ghost of Jesus. Jesus said to them look I am flesh and bones, meaning I am not a ghost. He then picked a morsel of bread and fish and are it, to prove he was alive.

@@BloggingTheology Jesus was at Getsamane garden and prayed.."..oh Abba, please lift this cup from me..." ,but the man who they claimed as Jesus was wailing on the cross calling "Eloi or Elai why have you forsaken me..". That truly wasn't Jesus for he as an aramaic speaking man never addressed God as such.. It would have been "Abba..Abba why have you..."😉

God the Father must be a cruel God for crucified his son.As God,he can always give forgiveness to any human being who has done a lot of sins .No need to torture n crucified his son.In fact Jesus is not son of God ,but only a Prophet,just like many other prophet before him

[@agroncekic7628]

I love this guy. He gives exceptional clarification on the subject. The Quran is the word of the God and is final reaction sent to us.

[@nomadnationalist2776]

It's strange how an all-powerful all-knowing all-good God somehow "forgot" to reveal all the important stuff the first few times around. Patently absurd on its face, which fits you in nicely with much of christianity, judaism, hinduism, etc.

[@ferrariboy5647]

​@nomadnationalist2776 well you gotta think about it like this, if he revealed everything in that one point, eventually they'd die down, and vanish, actually it's perfectly how god used a tactic to stop drinking in Arabia Slowly lowering the intake of alcohol. We can say it's similar to the revelations, / word of god given by each prophet because each prophet gave a part of the word of god, then jesus gave another part of the word of god, and now came the final one, the quran, one that even today has stuck still, and stood firm. It's like one book is revealed, spike, then it dies down, another book, another spike but lowers down slowly as the years progress. And comes the final spike. This one grew exponentially

To understand the truth, our mind must be neutral. This analytical view of yours is good example of that. Keep up the gud work. In Qur'an allah says, that we should not disrespect other religions. Comparison of the different religions are allowed and that clearly shows us the way to true path.

Alla made it to appear as it was Jesus crucified but alla swapped him .humans are limited,Alla is all knowing then who is wrong here is it christian tough believe on crucified Jesus or Alla lying to us by exchanging Jesus? To Alla and deceived followers why was it made to appear someone was crucified,what was the purpose of that man crucifixion. What's the meaning of EXODUS 12 the lambs blood for salvation! What's the meaning of this Isaiah 53:7He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. John 1:29the next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! What was the purpose of sacrificing a lamb? I'm sorry what we follow is consistent hence no room for antichrist

[@joshfabisiak4515]

My only problem with the premise is that if the crucifixion never happened and it was merely shown to Jesus’ disciples to appear he was crucified then how can anyone truly follow an individual that so readily and easily lies to and deceives his followers? Also, after his crucifixion Jesus invited Thomas the disciple to put his hand in Jesus’ side and feel the hole where the soldier stabbed him.

[@fahimshahrear1806]

great analysis

[@Priestbokmei1]

There’s another explanation: While Jesus was certainly put up on the cross he did not die by crucifixion but simply, due to trauma (or perhaps what he was given to drink while on the cross or both), lost consciousness, hence, “he appeared to have been killed”. In Luke 24:34-43 we see Jesus talking and eating with the apostles following his supposed death. Spirits/dead people don’t eat food. I believe Ahmad Deedat and Hamza Abdul Malik have lectured on this explanation.

“No one of the disciples saw Jesus crucified”. Mark 14:50, NLT: "Then all his disciples deserted him and ran away." In a Bible "Secrets of Mark ", says : Issa when he was arrested, a bystander by the name of Simon of Cyrene, carried the cross for him. The Bible " Secrets of Mark " also added : On the cross was the same man, Simon of Cyrene, however Issa was next to Peter laughing at how he fooled the Romans who believe that he is the one on the cross. How Many Mary(S) Where At The Site Of Jesus Cross? Mark 15: 40 “ Some women were watching from a distance. 1- Mary Magdalene 2- Mary the mother of James the younger 3- Mary also called Salome. Matthew 27:55-56 “ Many women were there, watching from a distance, 1- Mary Magdalene, 2- Mary mother of James & Joseph, 3- Mary mother of Zebedee’s sons( James and John) A- In Luke: Only Mary of Bethany ( Sister of Martha and Lazarus) B- In John: 19:25 “ Near the cross of Jesus stood. 1-Mary Magdalene 2- Mary his mother 3-Mary ( Jesus aunt ) the wife of Clopas

إِذۡ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ یَـٰعِیسَىٰۤ إِنِّی مُتَوَفِّیكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَیَّ وَمُطَهِّرُكَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَجَاعِلُ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱتَّبَعُوكَ فَوۡقَ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوۤا۟ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِۖ ثُمَّ إِلَیَّ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ فَأَحۡكُمُ بَیۡنَكُمۡ فِیمَا كُنتُمۡ فِیهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ ( 3:55) Allah said, "Jesus, I will cause you to die and raise you up to me, and purify you from those who denied the truth, and I will exalt your followers over those who deny you until the Resurrection Day. Then you all will return to me, and I will judge between you in matters about which you disagree. In this verse Allah's caused Jesus to die and purify him from those who denied the truth ,it is refers to his crucifixion, which caused his death, At the height of his ministry and miracles, many Jews came to believe in Jesus as the Messiah, Jewish rabbi's feared Jesus because of his growing followers. With the help of Judas Iscariot, Roman soldiers arrested Jesus, and He was put on trial for claiming to be the king of the Jews. According to Roman law, the punishment for rebellion against the king was death by crucifixion.The Roman governor Pontius Pilate was reluctant regarding the punishment for Jesus. Pilate could find no wrong in Jesus, yet he wanted to give the people what they wanted, and that was the death of Jesus. Pilate washed his hands in front of the crowd to symbolize that he was not taking responsibility for the bloodshed of Jesus and then handed Jesus over to be beaten and lashed. The Prophet mention about a prophet saying "Umar ibn Hafs narrated to us, my father narrated to us, Al-A’mash narrated to us, he said: Shaqiq narrated to me, he said: Abdullah said: It is as if I am looking at the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, narrating the story of a prophet from among the prophets whose people beat him until he bled, and he was wiping the blood from his face and saying: O Lord, forgive my people, for they do not know. حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شَقِيقٌ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَحْكِي نَبِيًّا مِنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ ضَرَبَهُ قَوْمُهُ فَأَدْمَوْهُ، فَهْوَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَيَقُولُ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي، فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ The Prophet of Allah is referring to the prophet Jesus whom they beat until they nailed him to the cross. ------ (Tafsir al Nafi - Tafsir Wamaenaa Al- Quran AlKarim ,On Surah 3 ,Ayat 55 ,By Shaykh Nafi ibn Abdullah , Basra Iraq -1975)

[@iarasilva2131]

The Quran affirms that it "appeared" to them. For years I asked myself, how? Certainly the Creator has the power to do whatever He wishes, no doubt about. Then came the age of holograms: fans of Michael Jackson were brought into tears, animals in a German circus entertain the audience, and many other examples. If we were there, at that dramatic moment in history, whatever were playing in front of our eyes, would appear real to us too. Because of their disbelief (although many clear signs were given), the Creator confused them, and confuses many until today.
