boast of killing and murder. That is because the judgment
depends on the intention behind a deed. The aim behind
their initiative to kill never transpired." 44
Al-Qurtubi: "The interpretation of the verse is: 'I shall
raise you to Myself without you dying, cleanse you from
the blasphemers, and kill you after your descent from the
heavens.'" 45

Allah Raised the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) to

His Presence
One of the important proofs that the unbelievers' plot
to kill the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) was confounded is the fact
that our Lord has revealed that He raised the Prophet Jesus
(pbuh) to His Presence:
.... [I will] raise you up to Me and purify you of those who
are unbelievers. And I will place the people who follow you
above those who are unbelievers until the Day of Resurrec-
tion. Then, all of you will return to Me, and I will judge be-
tween you regarding the things about which you differed.

(Surah Al 'Imran:55)
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 to Him-
self. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (Surat an-Nisa':157-158)
