Other Islamic scholars opined that the Prophet Jesus
(pbuh) did not die and could not be killed, and that he is

alive in Allah's Presence. Some of their comments are given

Omer Nasuhi Bilmen: "They do not definitively believe
that Jesus (pbuh) was killed. Such guesswork and specu-

in the Qur'an, saying that He used His Divine might to
raise this blessed prophet, alive, to the heavens. For those
who look at the greatness of the Divine might and its
manifestation in the universe, with millions of creations,
with the eye of the heart, it is impossible to regard the
raising of a glorious prophet, in body and soul, to the
highest levels, as an untrustworthy account." 41
Hasanayn Muhammad Mahluf: "The belief of Muslims is
this: Jesus (pbuh) was neither crucified nor killed, but was
raised alive in body and soul to the heavens. He will con-
tinue to live in the heavens for as long as Allah so
wills…" 42
Imam Zahid al-Kawthari: "The Jews intended to physi-

ever, those who said that they killed Jesus (pbuh) cer-
tainly did not kill him. Therefore, it is a lie for them to
