crucifixion

Islam, Muslims do not believe that Jesus (ʿĪsā عليه السلام) was crucified or killed. Instead, the Qur’an clearly says:

“They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him — but it was made to appear so to them. And those who differ over it are full of doubt, they have no knowledge of it, only conjecture. They certainly did not kill him. Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself.”
