Is Jesus Dead or Alive?
The Qur’an is very clear on this issue. It says what means:
*{Behold! Allah said, O Jesus! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you [of the falsehoods] of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow you superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: then shall you all return unto Me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein you dispute}* (Aal `Imran 3:55).
*{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. Only a likeness of that was shown 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:- No! Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise}* (An-Nisaa’ 4:157-158).
The critical word is the bal in verse 157 which translates to but in “but they killed him not.” Arabic rules of grammar require opposites to be compared when bal is used.
So, putting these two verses together, since Allah clearly says *{But they killed him not}*, it means they didn’t kill him. Therefore he must have been alive. So, *{I will raise you to Me}* implies “I will raise you to Me alive.”
The passage in verses 4:157-158 only emphasizes that many people talk about what they do not know. Muslims believe that all knowledge is with Allah. He knows and Man knows not. What Allah tells us is the truth. Your question only reiterates that Man is contentious and will argue on many things, even those things that he doesn’t know. Yet, here the issue is, I believe, very clear.

from Al-Madienah But why did Muhammad (PBUH) banish the Jews from Madienah?? Is not this also a kind of Religious ?.oppression
Nice you have said "banishing the Jews"! because this is
what really happened. Muhammad(PBUH) banished the Jews from Madienah instead of applying the rules of the Quran or that of the Old Testament "Al Taurah" upon them ; he (PBUH) didn't kill them because of "treason" .Raising of this event is for the behalf of Muslims ,if this case was presented under the Man-Made laws that are applied in any country, then the judgment would have been severe, hard and also a shame: They would have been convicted with "high treason". And proofing conspiration with enemies against the country deserves the penalty of .!execution
Jews were a part of the Islamic society living in Madienah,
where they used to live with Muslims as one family, the prophet (PBUH) gave them all rights of citizenship just the same given to every Muslim. He did not kick them out, or burned them, or seized their properties as the church's Popes or the European Kings did. Beside this, the Prophet (PBUH) held with them a protection and safety convention, in which both parties (Muslims & Jews) were obliged to protect each other in case any harm or danger menaced .them
But the Jews contacted secretly the enemies of the
Prophet (PBUH) and provoked them to fight against him, .and offered them all forms of support
Here we get surprised by a very ridiculous and strange
attitude, when we realize that the Jews denied their religion- that contains the idea of unification and orders to fight polytheism and paganism exactly like ISLAM- when the polytheists of Makkah asked them about the Religion of Muhammad (PBUH); they said that their religion (that of The polytheists) is better than that of Muhammad !!!((PBUH By this reply the Jews preferred to worship the statues !!!than believing in ALLAH the UNIQUE the ONE This answer alone is enough to describe them as being !!betrayals and disbelievers While the prophet (PBUH) was visiting them, their leaders thought and said :"you would never find the Prophet in such a condition - suitable for killing him; as being among a little number of men(his companions)- Isn't there a man among you to go on the roof of that house in order to "!?throw a big stone on him An ugly intrigue that trampled on all ethical values. Where is the faith of keeping promises? Where is value of welcoming the guests? Where is respect for the ?neighborhood They wanted to make out of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) another Jesus. But the same way as Allah have protected Jesus from being crucified, HE protected HIS prophet ..Muhammad (PBUH) from being killed
I'll here represent a comment said by a man that no one
from the Jews doubt about his faith and trust. He is the Jewish professor " Israel Wilfinson", where in his book:" The Jews' History In the Arab World" ,page 123 he says: "The think that causes pain to any believer either he is a Jew or a Muslim is that conversation held between some Jews and the polytheists of Quraish, where those Jews preferred Quraish's religion on that of the leader of the ".ISLAMIC MESSAGE Then he says: " Normally wars allow nations to use all means of ruses, lies, tricks and misinforming to defeat the enemies, but those Jews had no right to get involved in such a raffish mistake, and never announce in front of Quraish's leaders that their religion "in worshipping status) is better than the ISLAMIC UNIFICATION. Because the Jews were holding the banner of MONOTHEISM in the world for centuries against polytheism in the name of their old fathers. In addition to that, they faced uncountable catastrophes like killing, kicking out, expropriations, torturing, and oppressing because of their faith in ONE GOD during different eras (ages) in history….their duty .was to sacrifice their lives to desert the polytheists But Instead of that they took the side of the disbelievers and so they offended themselves before offending others, and showed themselves in a way that made
