                  place. Therefore, those who maintain that the
                  Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was killed are only speculat-
                  ing. In his commentary, al-Tabari stated that the unbeliev-
                  ers have no sure information about this event:
                       The Jews who debate over Jesus (pbuh) are unsure of
                       whether he was killed or not. What they know about this
                       issue is based merely on assumptions. They know very
                       little about whether the person they killed was Jesus
                       (pbuh) or not. They merely imagine that the person they
                       killed was Jesus (pbuh), as they had intended. They very

                       speculate about his death. 37

                       The fact that they have doubts shows that the unbe-
                  lievers did not achieve their goal. Had they really killed the
                  Prophet Jesus (pbuh), there would be no room for doubt
                  and they would be certain that they had succeeded. Let us
                  consider this with an example. Someone who opens fire in
                  order to kill someone else will know whether the intended
                  person has actually been killed or not. Alternatively, there
                  needs to be very exceptional circumstances for there to be
