ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Islamic view of Jesus' death

In Islam, we believe that Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) did not die on the cross as it is commonly believed by Christians. We believe that instead, Allah (God) raised Jesus up to Him and protected him from harm. This is based on the interpretation of several Quranic verses that suggest that Jesus did not die on the cross, but was rather saved by God.

It is important to understand that Muslims believe in the prophethood of Jesus and hold him in high respect. However, we do not believe in the idea of him being the son of God, as that contradicts the Islamic concept of Tawheed (the oneness of God).

In conclusion, the Islamic view of Jesus' death is that he did not die on the cross, but was rather lifted to the heavens by Allah.
