Ten facts you may not know about Jesus in Islam
- According to Islam, Jesus (peace be upon him) was not crucified. God raised him to Himself. This is the truth God has told us in the Qur’an:
For their disbelief and the monstrous calumny they utter against Mary, and their boast: ‘We have killed the Christ Jesus, son of Mary, God’s Messenger.’ They did not kill him, and neither did they crucify him, but it only seemed to them [as if it had been] so. Those who hold conflicting views about him are indeed confused, having no real knowledge about it, and following mere conjecture. For, of a certainty, they did not kill him. No! God raised him up to Himself. God is indeed almighty, wise.
(4:156-158)
- This last fact may come as a surprise: Muslims believe that Jesus will return at the end of time and he will kill the Impostor. He will spread justice and goodness among people. Everyone will have plenty, so that people would look at money and not take it. He will break the crucifix declaring the fallacy of the claim that the Jews crucified him. He will kill the pig in order to purge his message of distortion.
