THE JEWS CLAIM THEY KILLED
JESUS (AS)
No doubt, everyone is familiar with the allegation
that the Romans crucified Jesus (as). As the allegation goes,
the Romans and the Jewish rabbis arrested Jesus (as) and crucified
him. Indeed, the whole Christian world embraces the belief
that Jesus (as) died but then came to life again and ascended
to heaven. However, when we refer to the Qur'an, we see that
what really happened is not as believed:
And (on account of) their saying, "We killed
(katelna) the Messiah, Jesusson of Maryam, Messenger of Allah."
They did not kill (ma katelehu) him and they did not crucify
(ma salebe) him but it was made to seem so to them. Those
who argue about him are in doubt about it. They have no real
knowledge of it, just conjecture. But they certainly did not
kill (ma katelehu) him. (Surat an-Nisa': 157)
In the same verse, the below mentioned information
on Jesus is given:
Allah raised him up to Himself. Allah is
Almighty, All-Wise. (Surat an-Nisa': 158)
The fact the Qur'an reveals to us is obvious. The
attempts of the Romans, provoked by the Jews to murder Jesus
(as), proved unsuccessful. The expression quoted from the
above verse "…but it was made to seem so to them" explains
the real nature of this event. Jesus (as) was not murdered
but he was raised up to Allah's presence. Furthermore, Allah
draws our attention to the fact that those making this claim
know nothing about the truth.
