Responding to the allegation of contradiction in the Qur’an regarding the ascension of Jesus, peace be upon him

 

Christians say

quote:

The contradiction and disagreement of Muslim interpreters regarding the Qur’an’s reference to the death of Christ

quote:

Muslims built the core of their faith on only one text in the Qur’an of Uthman, the content of which was the denial of the crucifixion of Christ and made it seem like it to them (see the text in Surat An-Nisa’ 4/157). Although millions of Muslims memorize the Qur’an , they did not pay attention to the other texts that contradict this faith and nullify this belief, so they have eyes but do not see and ears but do not hear the words of truth and divine truth, for God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. It is clear in two texts: The first text {And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive} Surah Maryam / 19: 14) The second text {And peace be upon me the day I was born and the day I die and the day I am raised alive} Surah Maryam / 19: 32) Did God raise Christ alive or did he die as a martyr and then raise him? They did not kill Christ or crucify him, but God raised him alive. 1- “ And their saying, ‘We killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of God.’ But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them. And those who differ therein are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they killed him not, for certain. Rather, God raised him up to Himself. And God is Exalted in Might and Wise.” (Surat An-Nisa’ / 156-157 ) contradicts Christ died and died a martyr 2- “And peace be upon the day I was born and the day I die and the day I am raised alive ” (Surat Maryam / 19: 32) 3- “When God said, O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that over which you used to differ” (Surat Al Imran / 3: 54) 4- “I said to them nothing except what You commanded me - to worship God, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them. But when You took me, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness” (Surat Al-Ma’idah / 5: 116)

Response to this doubt

Christians say the following in their narration of this doubt:

Contradiction of Muslim interpreters????
I have not seen a single interpreter and then the Christians
mention the following:

It is clear in two texts:
The first text: {And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive} Surah Maryam / 19: 14

The second text {And peace be upon the day I was born and the day (I die) and the day I am raised alive}
I say:
The first text
is about the Prophet Yahya , peace be upon him , and has nothing to do with our master Jesus , peace be upon him . God Almighty
said ((O Yahya, take the Book with strength. And We gave him judgment while yet a boy (12) And compassion from Us and purity . And he was fearing God (13) And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant (14) And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive (15) ) Maryam.

It is noticeable that the verse speaks about our master Yahya as an absent pronoun because he was originally born and died and will be raised alive upon it . Peace be upon
the second text,
concerning the Prophet Jesus , peace be upon him. God Almighty
said: ((And peace be upon me the day I was born and the day I die and the day I am raised alive (33) That is Jesus, the son of Mary, the word of truth about which they are in dispute (34) ) Mary.
Here, our master is speaking about himself and says, and peace be upon me the day I was born and the day I die (future)... etc.
Where is the contradiction? We all believe that Jesus, peace be upon him , will die, but after he descends to earth at the end of time before the Hour,
I believe that talking about a contradiction is considered a kind of naivety. Christians
say that the Qur’an speaks and says that
Jesus died and died a martyr.

2- “And peace be upon the day I was born and the day I die and the day I am raised alive” (Surat Maryam / 19: 32)
3- “When God said, O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that over which you used to differ” (Surat Al Imran / 3: 54)
4- “I said to them nothing except what You commanded me - to worship God, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them. But when You took me, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness” (Surat Al-Ma’idah / 5: 116)

Verse 33 of Surah Maryam, not 32 as the Christians
say. Even the transmission is stupid.
We explained it previously. The Lord Christ speaks about himself that the day I die
and the day he dies, as I mentioned previously, after he descends to the earth before the Hour and breaks the cross and kills the pig and accepts nothing but Islam.
Al-Bukhari included it in his Sahih.

Qatada bin Saeed told us, Al-Layth told us, on the authority of Ibn Shihab, on the authority of Ibn Al-Musayyab, that he heard Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, say:

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, the son of Mary will soon descend among you as a just judge. He will break the cross , kill the pig, abolish the jizya tax, and wealth will be so abundant that no one will accept it.”

Narrated by Al-Bukhari

Ishaq told us, Yaqub bin Ibrahim told us, my father told us, on the authority of Salih, on the authority of Ibn Shihab, that Saeed bin Al-Musayyab heard Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, say:

He said about him

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, the son of Mary will soon descend among you as a just judge. He will break the cross , kill the pig, abolish the jizya, and wealth will be so abundant that no one will accept it, until a single prostration will be better than the world and everything in it.” Then Abu Hurairah says: Read if you wish: {And there is none from the People of the Scripture but that he will believe in him before his death. And on the Day of Resurrection he will be against them a witness
before his death.} The ordinary, familiar death after his descent, peace be upon him.
Narrated by Al-Bukhari.

And after his descent, peace be upon him , he dies the death that God has written for His servants.
God Almighty said: ((Every soul will taste death, then to Us you will be returned. (57 )) Al-Ankabut.
As for the Christians’ saying that God Almighty ’s saying on the tongue of Jesus , peace be upon him: ( And the day I die ) is evidence of Jesus’ death and crucifixion
, then Jesus would have been resurrected from death because he said: (( And the day I am raised alive .)) Indeed, the Christians’
understanding is sterile
now. Let us come to God Almighty’s saying: ((When God said: O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve. And I will make those who follow you superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that over which you used to differ. (55 )) Al Imran

And the Almighty’s saying ((I said to them nothing except what You commanded me: “Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.” And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them. But when You took me up , You were the Observer over them, and You are over all things.)) Everything is a witness (117) ) Al-Ma’idah. Note that the Christians
quote from the Qur’an, confusing the numbers of the verses, as evidence of their clear ignorance

that death does not mean death in all cases,
but rather that sleep in itself is considered death and a lesser death,
and death is from completion, as if I say, “I have
fulfilled my religion,” I have completed my work, and so on. So
the Almighty’s saying to our master Jesus , peace be upon him, “I will take you,” is completing his work in that stage of the world, meaning here your work has ended and you will have a role in the end of time.
What supports our words is the Almighty’s saying, “Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die during their sleep. Then He keeps those for whom He has decreed death and sends others back for a specified term. Indeed in that is…” Signs for a people who give thought (42) ) Az-Zumar.
Sleep is death because a person completes his work during the day,
and the following verse confirms that.
God Almighty said: ((And it is He whoHe takes your souls at night and knows what you have committed during the day. Then He resurrects you therein that a specified term may be fulfilled. Then to Him is your return. Then He will inform you of what you used to do. (60 ) Al-An’am
So do we truly die at night or is our sleeping at night considered a lesser death?
It was one of the supplications of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, as narrated by

On the authority of Al-Bara’: When the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, woke up, he would say, “Praise be to God who has given us life after causing us to die, and to Him is the resurrection.” Shu’bah said, “This or something similar to this meaning.” And when he slept, he would say, “O God, in Your name I live and in Your name I die.”

Shuaib al-Arna’ut’s comment: Its chain of transmission is authentic according to the conditions of the two sheikhs
, so there is no contradiction as the Christians
imagine , but rather there is clear Christian ignorance and hatred.
Our final supplication is that all praise is due to God, Lord of the Worlds,
and God knows best.
