Jesus (Isa) Did not die , someone bearing his likeness was crucified and Jesus was raised to be with God having never died. He is still alive.
Surah 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.
NOTE: The phrase “raise thee to Myself” does not refer to the resurrection of Christ but rather the
ascension to the Muslim because of other passages in the Quran.
Surah 4:157
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, But so it was made To appear 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 -
I hope this helps, thanks

Islam considers Jesus as one of God's great prophets. His mission was to preach the Oneness of God and to lead man to his Lord. He never claimed to be other than a servant and a Messenger of God. The Qur'anic account of his life and mission is supported by overwhelming evidence. The Muslims do believe in and are awaiting the Second Coming of Jesus. He will come back not as God to judge the non-Christians, but as Jesus, God's servant. His coming is to correct the misconception which people have developed about his personality and his mission.he will stay for forty years which is going to be the happiest years of life on this earth. At that time everybody will believe in him as the messenger, not the Son of God. However, what about those who will not be able to live till his second coming? They better do it now

Read Quran's chapter 75 and you will find a proof of resurrection.

Allah Almighty says:
... [I will] raise you up to Me and purify you of those who are unbelievers. And I will place the people who follow you above those who are unbelievers until the Day of Resurrection. Then, all of you will return to Me, and I will judge between you regarding the things about which you differed. (Qur'an, 3:55)
And [on account of] their saying: "We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, messenger of God." They did not kill him and they did not crucify him, but it was made to seem so to them. Those who argue about him are in doubt about it. They have no real knowledge of it, just conjecture. But they certainly did not kill him. God raised him to Himself. God is Almighty, All-Wise. (Qur'an, 4:157-158)
As these verses reveal, those who sought to kill Jesus (pbuh) failed to achieve their goal, because God protected and rescued him by raising him to His presence. The words raafiu'ka and rafa'ahu that appear in the verses come from the Arabic root rafa'a, which means "to rise." Islamic scholars interpret rafa'a as the opposite of "being lowered." The Islamic scholar Abu Musa al-Ash'ari interpreted Qur'an 3:55 together with Qur'an 4:158, and wrote that: "There is a consensus among the community of the faithful [ijma' ummat] that Jesus (pbuh) was raised alive to the heavens."38 (Ijma' ummat refers to the agreement on this issue of those Islamic scholars who expounded upon Islamic law and lived during the same century).
In interpreting these verses, the great majority of Islamic scholars agree that "Jesus (pbuh) did not die, but was raised to God's presence, and that this ascension took place in both body and soul." Examples of their opinions are given below:

We don't believe that Jesus was crucified. We believe that God saved him right before everything hapened. God turned Judas into the lookalike of Jesus and it was JUDAS that was killed.
