Jesus Was Not Killed Or Crucified | Quran 4:157 | Misunderstood Quranic Verses | Dr. Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally addresses the Quran 4:157, which has sparked debates between Muslims and Christians regarding the crucifixion of Jesus. The verse states that Jesus was neither killed nor crucified, which contradicts the widely accepted Christian belief of Jesus' crucifixion. Classical Islamic commentators attempted to reconcile this by suggesting that someone else was made to look like Jesus and was crucified in his place, but this interpretation led to further theological and historical challenges. Dr. Shabir points out that a different reading of the verse is possible: the verse can be understood as emphasizing that Jesus was not killed by any means, whether ordinary (like execution or murder) or extraordinary (such as crucifixion). The term "crucifixion" in this context is interpreted to inherently imply death, meaning that the verse is not necessarily denying the event of the crucifixion but rather emphasizing that Jesus did not die as a result of it. This approach avoids the need to assert that another person was substituted in place of Jesus.
