(11 hours ago)Ali Imran Wrote: Whatever the scholars interpret the word "muhaymin", it all means the same, that the Quran is the authority in determining what is true or false in the previous scriptures.
When Allah says in verse 112:1, do any scholars have a scattered interpretation of that verse?
Quran 4:157-158
4 interpretations
Here's a breakdown of the different interpretations:
1. The Appearance of Crucifixion:
Many Muslim scholars interpret the verses as meaning that Jesus was not actually crucified or killed in the way described in Christian tradition.
Some believe that God made it appear to the Jews that they had crucified Jesus, while in reality, he was taken up to God.
This interpretation emphasizes God's power and ability to deceive the enemies of Jesus and protect him.
2. Jesus's Ascension:
The verses clearly state that God raised Jesus up to Himself, which is understood as a physical ascension to heaven.
Some scholars believe this ascension happened while Jesus was still alive, bodily, and that he will return to Earth before the Day of Judgment.
Others interpret the raising up as a spiritual elevation, but the majority view is a physical ascension.
3. Doubts and Uncertainty:
The verses also highlight that those who claim to have killed Jesus are in doubt and conjecture.
This suggests that the Jews were mistaken in their belief that they had killed Jesus, and their claims are not based on certainty.
4. Theological Implications:
The verses deny the Christian belief that Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice for humanity.
They affirm that Jesus was a prophet and messenger of God, and that God's power and wisdom were demonstrated in his protection and ascension.
The verses emphasize that God is the ultimate authority and that His plans will prevail.
