was not martyred or hanged, that people were shown a likeness of him,
that He took him back (as happens during sleep), and raised him to the
heavens. For all other Prophets, such words as qatala or mawt (death), are

used. Thus, we can conclude that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was put into
a sleep-like state and raised to Allah's Presence, that he did not experi-
ence death as we know it, and that he has left our dimension. (Allah
knows the truth.)

The Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) Return

Many verses refer to the Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) second coming.
Following are some of them:
1) When Allah said: "Jesus, I will take you back, raise you up to Me, and
purify you of those who do not believe. And I will place the people who
follow you above those who do not believe until the Day of Resurrection.
Then you will all return to Me, and I will judge between you regarding
the things about which you differed." (Surah Al 'Imran: 55)
This verse mentions a people who are followers of the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) and who will be above the unbelievers until the Day of
Resurrection. Accordingly, there will be people who follow him until the
Day of Judgment. Looking at present-day Christians, we see that the
core of their religion has been tampered with and is not the same faith
preached by the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). For example, they claim that he is
Allah's son (Allah forbid) and part of a Trinity (the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit). Therefore, by transgressing the limits that Allah estab-

lished for humanity, today's Christians are far from Allah's true religion
and cannot be considered as the Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) followers. The
Qur'an states emphatically that those who believe in the Trinity are un-
believers:
