the Qur'an in its Historical Context, Part 2", where he approaches the verses related to the crucifixion of Christ (peace be upon him), by linking them to other verses, and extracting conclusions from this link, such as that the Qur’an only said that Christ (peace be upon him) did not die, because he is alive with Allah, as is the case with the martyrs, who cannot be said to be dead, even though they were killed. He also considers in the verse: ﴾but another was made to resemble him to them ﴿, a non-prevailing meaning, denouncing those who say that someone is likened to Christ. In the end, he highlights the result of his research, considering that Christ (peace be upon him) was crucified and died on the cross, but he is alive with Allah.
In the context of criticizing Murad's thesis, we will try to clarify the broader picture by explaining the linguistic and methodological lapses of the writer, as well as the writer's transgression of many of the noble verses that invalidate his claimed ideas, to conclude that the Qur'an explicitly states that Christ (peace be upon him) was not crucified or killed, and that casting doubt on others is possible and even likely, because there is wisdom in it, and an argument against those who take Jesus (peace be upon him) as a God.
