Re: Hazrat Isa A.S.
So simply put you are done. You did not mention 3:55.
OK.
Here is what you mentioned.
005.117 "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, ‘worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord’; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things.
Al-Qur’an, 005.116-117 (Al-Maeda )
And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, “O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?’” He will say, “Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen. I said not to them except what You commanded me – to worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness. (Surah 5:116-117)
There are many translations of 3:55 which do state him AS being raised. And many which use the translation as “ending His AS term on earth and causing the return”. Some use the term as ‘death’. But not the majority.
3:55 Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.
3:55 when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ.
Same has ocurred with 3:144.
3:144 Muhammad is no more than a Rasul, surely the Rasuls before him have already passed away. If then he dies or be killed, will you turn upon your heels?…
But
Other translations which seem more appropriate do not say “already passed away”.
3-144 ‘And Muhammad is but a messenger, there have been messengers before him. So, if he dies or is killed, would you turn back on your heels?’
Many other arguments like natural laws of life are made and examples are given such as Allah does not claim to break the rules in some specific verses like in Surah Rahman. But those arguments are very weak.
**Allah CAN and HAS broken seemingly natural laws. One who makes laws can break them too.
**
I think if someone takes hadiths also in view and read the translations by majority scholars, one can see there is no real evidence of ‘death’ per se of Issa AS by Quran.
