                    any doubt about whether someone condemned to death has

                    actually died. If there is doubt, something out of the ordi-
                    nary must have occurred. Those who had sought to kill the
                    Prophet Jesus (pbuh) would have felt no doubt as to
                    whether they had succeeded or not. However, our Lord re-
                    veals that they did have such doubts, were only speculat-
                    ing, and had no certain information. This is one of the
                    proofs that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) did not die but was
                    raised alive to Allah's Presence.


                       Foiling this Trap Shows Allah's Superior Might

                         Another element that attracts our attention is the ex-

                    pression: "Allah raised him to Himself. Allah is Almighty, All-
                    Wise" (Surat an-Nisa':158). In all likelihood, this extraordi-
                    nary situation shows Allah's superior might. (Allah knows
                    the truth.)
                         In their commentaries on this verse, Islamic scholars
                    point out that these words represent an extraordinary reve-
                    lation of Allah's might and wisdom. For example, Fakhr al-
                    Din al-Razi said:
                         Allah reveals at the end of the verse that "Allah is
                         Almighty, All-Wise." The intention behind almightiness
                         here is the perfection and immaculate nature of that
                         might, and that behind wisdom is the perfection and im-
                         maculate nature of knowledge. In this way, Allah has in-
                         dicated the raising of Jesus (pbuh) and that no matter
                         how impossible this may seem to a person, it is not im-
