wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst
open and all his intestines spilled out. (Acts 1: 5-18)

Despite the fact that some descriptions in the Gospel contradict
one another, there is consensus on the certain disappearance of Judas
Iscariot just after the crucifixion. Judas Iscariot disappeared, because
the person who was crucified and killed was Judas Iscariot. Judas
Iscariot, who normally looked like Jesus in the physical sense, was
made to appear even more like Jesus as a miracle of God. The soldiers
were duly mistaken and took him to the crucifix instead of Jesus. Just
before this incident, by God's command, Jesus was taken up to the

heavens by angels, into the Sight of God. For that reason, the officials
who came to the room at the crucifixion of Jesus found only Judas
Iscariot there.

In the Koran, God says that the plot against

Jesus (pbuh) was "thwarted"

It is a known fact that under the leadership of Judas Iscariot, a
hypocrite, unbelievers plotted against Jesus. The purpose of this plot
was to kill Jesus. However, in the Koran God informs us that the plot
against Jesus was thwarted. If Jesus had, in one way, died, this would
mean the unbelievers' plot had worked, and this is impossible, be-
cause the promise of God is always fulfilled. That plot to kill Jesus
was thwarted. Jesus did not die and was not murdered. God informs
us of this as follows in the Koran:

When Jesus sensed unbelief on their part, he said, "Who will be
my helpers to God?" The disciples said, "We are God's helpers.
We believe in God. Bear witness that we are Muslims. Our Lord,
we have faith in what You have sent down and have followed the
Messenger, so write us down among the witnesses." They plotted
and God plotted. But God is the best of plotters. (Koran, 3: 52-54)
