HARUN YAHYA

ner: They were shown, and killed, a double in his stead. Our
Lord protected His chosen servant from the unbelievers:

And [on account of] their saying: "We killed the Messiah,
Jesus son of Maryam, messenger of Allah." They did not
kill him and they did not crucify 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 him. Allah raised him [Jesus]
up to Himself. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (Surat an-
Nisa’:157-158)
Other verses reveal that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is not
dead, but is alive in Allah's Presence. The fact that Allah has

revealed that He foiled the traps set for him is one of the im-
portant pieces of evidence that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is
still alive. Had the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) really died, as some
people (erroneously) maintain, then the unbelievers would
have achieved their goal of killing him. However, "… Allah
will not give the unbelievers any way against the believers"
(Surat An-Nisa':141). Allah revealed that He would not
allow the unbelievers to kill the Prophet Jesus (pbuh).
Moreover, many verses reveal that the unbelievers would
never achieve their goal and that their failure is a require-
ment of Allah's Divine plan. Some of these verses are given
below:

They concocted their plots, but their plots were with Allah,
even if they were such as to make the mountains vanish.
(Surah Ibrahim:46)
