Doubting Thomas
Quite on the contrary. That's like saying Qur'an did not say 'person XYZ has not been murdered' - so don't put those words in Gods mouth and say that 'person XYZ has not been murdered' even though XYZ is happily alive. You are free to believe someone else killed Jesus but that wouldn't have anything to do with the Qur'an.
We believe that the Jews conspired to kill Jesus (no one else) so according to that interpretation we are not adding anything to God's word. So it reads as follows - they(Jews) tried to kill Jesus, but they could not kill him neither crucify him, rather God raised him - we are not adding/inserting any assumptions here. As it reads :
"We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise" (Al Qur'an 4:157-158)
And once again, when Allah speaks of the story of Jesus(pbuh) in Chapter 3 (starting from around verse 45) He says : "Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme;..."(Al Qur'an 3:55)
Once again plain and simple ... God takes Jesus to Him by Raising Jesus to Himself. And Allah clearly states what He will do to Jesus. Did He forget to mention that he will die in the process too (God forbid)? And notice there is no 'They' for a specific group of people here - it is for all.
I've addressed 3:55 in this thread and pointed out many translators render it "cause you to die".
I'm not going to continue debating with you as this is going nowhere. You are not addressing my points but just keep accusing me of doing something I am not doing. It's unproductive.
To you, your religion; to me, mine.
