Dear Muslim friends, Do you commemorate the date of Isa’s crucifixion?
Muslims do not believe that it was really Jesus who was crucified. Therefore, they do not recognize His death by crucifixion.Dear Muslim friends, Do you commemorate the date of Isa’s crucifixion?
Oh! Thank you. I thought that some of them held to the idea that he was put on the cross, but taken down before he died, and then was resuscitated.Muslims do not believe that it was really Jesus who was crucified. Therefore, they do not recognize His death by crucifixion.
That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah”;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:- … (Al-Qur’an, Surah An-Nisa, Ayat 157)Oh! Thank you. I thought that some of them held to the idea that he was put on the cross, but taken down before he died, and then was resuscitated.
Although there are a few weak ahadith concerning the subject, generally speaking, if any Muslim wishes to believe in something additional to what is written in the Qur’an regarding what happened to Prophet Jesus (pbuh) during this alleged crucifixion, then he or she would merely be following conjecture.
Thank you both. I was recently contemplating the question “What is ‘today’?” and I considered how Christianity and Judaism use similar methods to determine the date of Easter and Passover, respectively, and I was wondering whether Islam also commemorates an event that would have been, at least originally, tied to these first two, and whether you would calculate that date in a similar kind of lunar-solar hybrid calendar, or on Islam’s purely lunar calendar.Jesus’/Isa’s crucifixion is not an agreed upon matter in Islam. As hamba’s post shows, the only thing that is agreed upon is that Jesus/Isa did not die on the cross. The rest is all hypothetical, as - to the best of my knowledge - the rest of the Islamic Passion’s details are obscure.
In the Thread of “Who is Isa in Quran”, we have demonstrated the false logic behind the Muslim’s idea.Muslims do not believe that it was really Jesus who was crucified. Therefore, they do not recognize His death by crucifixion.
