Surah Nisa
4:157
And [for] their saying, “Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.

4:158
Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise

The explanation of that verse is there, sorry am I the author of quran or I resemble Ala-Maududi?
Re: Lessons From The Death Of The Grand Mufti Of Saudi Arabia by Sterope(f): 2:34pm On Sep 26, 2025
Surah Maidah
5:116
And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, “O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah’?” He will say, “Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who are Knower of the unseen.”


5:117
“I said not to them except what You commanded me – to worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness

You all should go and accept Christ.
That's the lesson you all should learn that once u die, Jesus is awaiting you all for judgement. Jesus is the one the father has give authority to judge the world
Where in your Bible were you told this?
Wherever you would quote, who is speaking there? Is it Jesus himself or someone else, hundreds of years after the death of the 'Jesus'.

That name or word Jesus, where does it emanate from? Which language or tribe bears that name and what is the meaning?
So many questions begging for answers. If you cannot answers those questions then turn to Islam and holy Qu'ran for authentic answers.

Islam doesn't believe the man nailed to the cross was Jesus, so there's no disrespect here.
According to the holy Qur'an, the man nailed to the cross is by name 'Tatoyanush'. It was never annabi Isah (AS).

Same Jesus that was nailed like a common thief on the cross and couldn't save himself or which one?
That was exactly why He came, to lay down His life for the salvation of mankind. He continuously and consistently spoke about His death and resurrection.

Note
He was not poisoned by anyone. He didn't have unquenchable thirst for blood and sex.

If you are a true follower of Mohammed, you would not disrespect Jesus.

According to the Quran, Jesus is still alive till date after more than 2000 years, and He will come back. Prepare for his return.
Not to disrespect... just informing about how jesus was treated in your book, even thou we know how the book was made

Why are you guys spamming a Muslim thread. Is that what your Bible teaches?
The same way others from your religion are spamming Christian's thread. Though allah in Quran 10:94 ask you to question those reading the Bible


Quran 10:94 Irving & Mohamed Hegab

If you are in any doubt concerning what We have sent down to you, then question those who have read the Book (Bible) before you: Truth has come to you from your Lord, so do not be a waverer;

Yes, same Jesus. And He did that to atone for our sins. That's why He came. He took on flesh so He could sacrifice Himself. Shows God's love. So Heaven is assured for us who so believe.
No 72 or more virgins here. It's purely spiritual. Of course you guys who believe in unrestrained carnality in your heaven wouldn't understand this.

That is why we worship him bro.

The fact that he dropped his Godship and took the form of a man and fulfilled scriptures by such a deaath, means he is more than deserving of worship.

Now, tell us bout your con man.

doffman and the rest

Your Quran said

Ala-Maududi
(19:33) Peace be upon me the day I was born and the day I will die, and the day I will be raised up alive.

This speech in the cradle by Jesus was the sign to which the angel referred in (Surah Maryam, Ayat 21). As Allah intended to punish the children of Israel for their continuous wicked ways and evil deeds, He made a pious virgin girl of the family of Prophet Aaron, who had devoted herself to worship in the Temple under the patronage of Zachariah, bear a child and bring it before her people in order to concentrate the whole attention of the thousands of people assembled there on this extraordinary event. Then He made this new born child speak out even in the cradle that he had been appointed a Prophet. Though they had seen this wonderful sign of Allah, they rejected the Prophethood of Jesus and brought him to the court for crucifixion, and thus incurred the wrath of Allah.



If your Quran could testified to the fact that your Isa is alive, who are you to be doubting the death, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ

Bible proof that God gave Jesus the authority to judge the whole world. Check the following verse

1. John 5:22–23: “Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.”
In this verse the Jesus himself is the speaker

2. Acts 17:31: “For he [God] has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”

In this verse, Paul the Apostle of Christ, who was converted by the revelation of Christ on his way to Damascus is speaking


3. Revelation 19:11–16: This describes Jesus returning as the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” to judge the world in righteousness

In this Book, John the Disciple of Christ is shown a vision where he recorded what he saw and heard. Angels and Christ spoke to him in the vision.


That name or word Jesus, where does it emanate from? Which language or tribe bears that name and what is the meaning?

Response:
The name " Jesus " has a clear origin and meaning:

Origin: “Jesus” comes from the Greek word "Iēsous" which is a transliteration the Hebrew word "Yeshua" a common Jewish name also called “Joshua.” Yeshua is a shortened form of "Yehoshua"

Which Language and Tribe bears the name:

The name is rooted in Hebrew, used by the Jewish people, specifically from the tribe of Judah, as Jesus was born a Jew in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1). It appears in the Hebrew Bible (e.g., Joshua, son of Nun) and was common in first-century Judea.

Meaning: Yeshua means “Yahweh saves” or “salvation,” from Yah which is Short of God’s name, Yahweh, and "shua" which means "salvation".

This is confirmed in:

Matthew 1:21: “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
The name reflects His divine role as Savior, aligning with His authority to judge.

And the speaker here is : Angel Gabriel speaking to Joseph about Mary’s child that will be born

I wish all these our own scholars especially These self acclaimed Al sunnah to learn greatly from this powerful sheikh. Not just to eulogies him alone, but follow his deed, teaches and characters wholeheartedly.

.
Lukgaf:
Lessons from the Death of the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, His Eminence Shaykh Abdul Aziz ibn Abdullah Al Al-Shaykh

The news of the passing of one of the most prominent scholars of our time, the Grand Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has struck the Muslim world deeply. Until his death, he served as a guiding light of knowledge and a beacon of the Sunnah.

From his death, we can take several lessons, beautifully highlighted in Ashaykh Dr Sharoffuddeen Gbadebo Raji and Ashaykh Professor Abdrasaq Alaro’s tributes to him:


1. Death is inevitable. Just days ago, when we mentioned him, we would say “ḥafiẓahullāh” (may Allah preserve him). Now, we say “raḥimahullāh” (may Allah have mercy on him). Death changes everything in an instant. Indeed, it can strike any of us at any time. The question remains: are we preparing for it?

2. Attachment to the Qur’an. Shaykh Abdul Aziz used to complete the recitation of the entire Qur’an every three days. Subḥānallāh! How many of us have not even completed the Qur’an once in three years? His dedication should remind us of the endless blessings of reciting and reflecting upon Allah’s Book.


3. Accessibility and humility despite authority. Despite being blind, the Shaykh discharged his responsibilities with full dedication. He was humble, approachable, and hospitable. Dr. Sharafudeen Gbadebo Raji narrated how, when he and a friend visited him in his office around 2004, the Shaykh received them warmly, addressed them by their names in friendly manner, gave them several valuable books, and even took down their contact numbers. This is a powerful lesson for all in positions of authority: leadership is about service, humility, and accessibility not arrogance.

4. Respecting other scholars even with differences. For roughly thirty years, Shaykh Abdul Aziz was the one who delivered the khutbah on the Day of ‘Arafah, meaning he performed Hajj every year. On many occasions, he made the intention to perform Hajj or ‘Umrah on behalf of deceased scholars not only those he admired, but even those he differed with in opinion. This is a profound lesson: intellectual disagreement should never erase the bond of brotherhood. We remain one Ummah, tied by faith and mutual respect.


Shaykh Abdul Aziz is no more, and like all of us, he will be judged based on his deeds. What remains are the good works he left behind and the countless lives he touched.

Let us reflect: What will people say about us when our time comes? Will they remember us for goodness, humility, and service or something else?

May Allah forgive Shaykh Abdul Aziz ibn Abdullah Al Al-Shaykh, illuminate his grave, raise his rank among the righteous, and grant him Jannatul-Firdaws. And may Allah forgive all deceased Muslims and grant us the tawfīq to leave behind a legacy of righteousness.

PS: Don't forget to recite Suratul Khaf today. BaarakaLlah feekum!
