And [on account of] their saying: "We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, messenger of God." 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.
(Qur'an, 4:157)
Ever since time began, God's prophets and messengers have called people to the true path. Some people heeded this call and surrendered themselves to God, thus attaining an honorable life in this world and in the Hereafter. Others persisted in their unbelief, thus earning a troubled and difficult life in this world and eternal suffering in the Hereafter. Just like the other prophets sent by God, Jesus (pbuh) commanded his society to worship God, the One and Only, and to live with the knowledge that they will have to account for themselves on the Day of Judgment, recommended that they live by moral values that please God, and called on them to avoid denial, polytheism, and evil in all of its forms. Those who rejected his call tried to pressure him and those who followed him to give up their mission. For that reason, as has happened with many prophets and believers throughout history, they set traps for Jesus (pbuh). One of these was how they would kill him. However, with his unique birth and the miracles he performed, Jesus (pbuh) was one of God's blessed prophets. God laid out a specific destiny for him, and thus all of the unbelievers' traps came to nothing. The Qur'an reveals that Jesus' (pbuh) enemies failed to kill him, although they were made to think that they had. God raised Jesus (pbuh) to His presence while he was still alive. The Qur'an, as well as the words of our beloved Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace), say that Jesus (pbuh) will return to Earth, a great miracle indeed.
