We, Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified by the Jews as revealed in the Holy Qur’an by Allah in a crystal clear manner:
“And because of their saying (in boast):’We killed messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah’; -- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Jesus was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely, they killed him not (i.e., Jesus, son of Mary). But Allah raised him (Jesus) up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he Jesus PBUH is in the heavens).. And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise.” The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 4, Verse 157,158
1) The Bible testifies to the fact that Jesus was known among the Jews; he used to preach and deliver sermons in the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. It was therefore, unnecessary to hire a Jew for thirty pieces of silver to direct them to him as related in Mathew.
2) It is related that one of the twelve disciple's named Judas Iscariot was hired to direct the Jews to Jesus. They then sentenced him after which Judas was greatly ashamed and dissociated himself from their act and then committed suicide. All this took place within twenty-four hours. The contradictions are obvious.
3) The clearest proof, which alone is sufficient to discredit this story, is when the Jews passed the sentence of death against Jesus and intended to get the approval of the governor, Pontius Pilate.
“ And Jesus stood before the governor: The governor asked him, saying, ‘Art thou the king of the Jews!’ And Jesus said unto him, ‘Thou sayeth (sayest)’: And when he was accused of (by) the chief priests and elders. He answered nothing. Then said Pilate unto him, ‘Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?’ And he answered him never (to) a word.” Mathew 27:11-14
The Christians will interpret the above verse to mean that Jesus wanted to die on the cross for the redemption of mankind and for the forgiveness of their sins: if so, then why did he ask to turn away that cup from him (i.e. death)? Why did he cry out while on the Cross (as they assume): “ O Lord, why hast thou forsaken me?” How could he have remained silent when the truth was being challenged? He was known for his soul-inspiring sermons challenging the learned Jewish Rabbis. No sane person can believe in this. If the story of the Cross-is disproved then the very foundation on which Christianity is based, will be demolished.
Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified by the Jews as revealed in the Holy Qur’an by Allah in a crystal clear manner:
“And because of their saying (in boast):’We killed messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah’; -- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of Jesus was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely, they killed him not (i.e., Jesus, son of Mary). But Allah raised him (Jesus) up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he Jesus PBUH is in the heavens).. And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise.” The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 4, Verse 157,158
The Jews themselves, together with the entire Christian world, believe that he was crucified. As proofs against their views and to prove the truth of the Muslim verdict through the Bible, I prepared the following set of questions based on the Book of S.Mathew in the New Testament of Bible. (Chapter 26 and 27):
1) Did those who captured Jesus (according to their assumption) know him in person? Or did they not know him?
Mathew testifies that they did not know him.
2) Was it during the day or night that he was captured?
Mathew says – it was during the night.
3) Who was the one directed them to him?
Mathew says: He was one of his twelve disciples called Judas Iscariot.
4) Did he direct them free of charge or for a fixed reward, which they specified, for him?
Mathew says: He directed them to him for a fixed reward of thirty pieces of silver.
5)What was the condition of Jesus during that night?
Mathew says: He was fearful and prostrated in prayer saying: “ O God, if it is possible for You to let his cup pass from me, then let it pass.” It is incredible that such words could come from a believer in God, let alone a Prophet of God, because all believers believe that God has power over all things.
6) What was the condition of his eleven disciples?
Mathew says: Sleep overcame them that night together with their teacher (according to their assumption) out of fear.
7) Was Jesus contented with their condition?
Mathew says (verse 40-46): He was not satisfied. He used to come to them to wake them up saying: “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak.” Then he would come again to find them asleep and he would again wake them up and say the same thing. This weakness could not have been spoken of righteous pupils even if they were pupils of an ordinary pious teacher, let alone the disciples of Jesus, son of Mary.
8) Did they help him when those ruffians captured him?
Mathew says: They forsook him and fled.
9) Did Jesus have confidence in his disciples that night?
Mathew says: Jesus informed them that they would all forsake him. Then Jesus said unto them: “Verily I say unto thee that this night before the cock crows, thou shall deny me – thrice.” Peter said unto him, “Although I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee.” Likewise also said all the disciples. And so it happened.
10) How did those ruffians capture him?
Mathew says: They came to him with swords and staves after they were directed to him by a Jew, then they captured him as described in verse 57:
“And they that had laid hold on Jesus, led him away to Caliphas the high priest, where the elders were assembled.”
There they passed the sentence of death on him. The ruffians then took him away, spat on his face and struck him with their hands after which they stripped him of his clothes and clad him in scarlet robes, then placed a crown of thorns on his head and took him about, teasing and mocking him. They said to him: ‘You are the king of Israel according to your claim.” They severely degraded him.
11) Who finally decided to pass the death sentence against him?
Mathew says: He was Pontius Pilate, a Greek Roman, who was at that time the governor of Palestine.
12) When the ruffians brought that man before the governor and informed him that the priest of the Jews passed the sentence of death by crucifixion according to their law (Torah), did he believe in them without investigation?
Mathew says: He did not believe them but asked that man: “Is it true what they have said?” He remained silent. The question was repeated and he continued to remain silent. He remained silent in view of the truth; it was essential for him even if he was not a Prophet to clarify the truth and deny the false accusation f the Jews. The governor’s wife went to the governor and she said to him: “Have thou nothing to do with that just man? For I have suffered many things this day in dream because of him.”
The Bible states that Jesus delivered lengthy speeches to the Jews rebuking and warning them, which amounted to defaming them. Then why was he silent that day? The governor’s intentions for asking him were to stand for the truth.
13) How was he crucified according to their assumption?
Mathew says: They crucified him between two thieves both of whom abused him by saying to him, “If you are truthful save yourself.”
14) This was a great calamity. What did he say while on the cross (according to their assumption)?
Mathew says (27:46)
Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? (That is to say) my God, my God, why have Thou forsaken me?”
This is a blatant declaration of disbelief according to all theological authorities. Whoever relates it to a Prophet is a disbeliever according to the revealed religions.
Almighty Allah, in the Qur’an warns, the Jews and the Christians against their blasphemy; that Jesus is an incarnation of God (Allah) or the son of God (Allah) or in rejecting him totally; and that they must believe in him as a Messenger of Allah only:
“And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him (Jesus, son of Mary, as only a Messenger of Allah and a human being) before his (Jesus PBUH or a Jew’s or a Christian’s) death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he (Jesus) will be a witness against them.” The Holy Qur’an, Chapter 4, Verse 159

Reas this ayah(verse)
...They said, “We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God." They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)... (Qur'an, 4:157)
Yes, we dont believe that jesus was crucified. Actually happene in this way.
When Jesus(p.b.u.h) was tied in a room. Then a man comes to take him to the cross. but before entering into the room a strong wind flows which was nothing but jebraiel alahi salam(the angel) arives by the order of Allah and replace jesus (pbuh) with another man having the same face and personality and jesus(pbuh) was taken on the skies of Lord.
And the man thought what he knew not and took this man as jesus and taken him to the cross inspite the man was shouting that I am not jesus leave me.
And jesus(pbuh) as more 40 years to live so he will arrive 40 years before the day of judgement is to come

The answer from Groovy goes directly against what Jesus himself said.
Jesus died because it was part of God's plan to offer up Jesus as a 'propitiatory sacrifice' to buy back for us the right to live again without death. And fulfil God's promise of Revelation 21:4.
(MATTHEW 26:54) In that case, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must take place this way?”
Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies about him.
Especially the one where it states not one of his bones would be broken...Which was a practice of the Roman soldiers to do so to hasten the death of convicted criminals. And as we know, Jesus was between two of them.
(PSALM 34:20) He is guarding all the bones of that one; Not one of them has been broken.
Jehovah God is guarding the bones of Jesus.

They believe someone else was crucified in his place an he escaped. Thereafter he married, had children and lived for 40 more years, apparently to return at end of days. He's a 'B list' prophet to Muslims by the way.

groovy's right.. quran 4:157 does say that someone else was crucified in his place..
Jesus (pbuh)was then raised to heaven(not die,thats how his body was never found!).he would be back on earth in future when there would be tribulations everywhere.he would guide mankind (with the "shariah" of prophet Muhammad pbuh)and kill the anti christ called "dajjaal" in arabic.
he would descent down in his adult form( not born as a baby) and complete his life .its only then that he dies like anyother human.
"jesus" (peace be upon him -pbuh)is respected by the muslims as ONE OF THE greatest prophets sent by the Almighty.his name is mentioned in the quran (as isa)25 times more than prophet muhammad (pbuh)himself!!.there is also a chapter titled " mary/maryam" in the quran!!! the only woman to have her name mentioned in the quran.its chapter 19.
no muslim is a muslim if he does not believe in all the prophets sent by the Almighty.
cant explain all in here.pls open the link http://www.jamaat.net/cis/ChristInIslam.html

The issue of Jesus' death is important to Muslims because Muslims believe in Jesus's return at the end of time. Muslims believe Jesus was not crucified but was raised bodily to heaven by God. Depending on the interpretation of the following verse, scholars have abstracted different opinions. Some believe that Jesus was not on the cross long enough to die, due to circumstantial reasons, according to the Bible, while others opine that God gave someone Jesus' appearance, causing everyone to believe that Jesus was crucified. Also according to some, God does not use deceit and therefore they contend that simply no crucifixion occurred. The basis of any of these beliefs is the following verse in the Qur'an:
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: Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.
—Qur'an, [Qur'an 4:157]

In the holy Quran God said they not stiffen Jesus Christ ( peace be upon him ). and they not kill him, but resemblance to them and god lifting him in the 7th sky. my explanation if the god carry to cross horridly and his hand hammerd to it, this is craft anathema you have to knock it with your feet not to kiss it, also if god degrade in cross if i recpect mean i am animssity the God , if the God die some people made it, is this God ? is he bak to life ? or will bring him to life other God ,why you do not kneel to burial because god jesus inside, i surprise tomb inside it God , and more surprise ( 9 months in womb ) in darkness, the menses his sustenance , is this God ? . also is thair power more than Jesus , and how could the wood carry the god ,and how the metal can striks him. is the 7 sky was empty when jesus under the soil .
so in the Quran god said , they atone they said that god is jesus, they atone they said god 3rd of three.

check in the quran, in chapter 4:157,
"... but they (the Jews) kill him not, nor did they cause his death on the cross, but it was made to appear to them: and those who differ therein are full of doubts with (certain) knowledge but only conjecture to follow; for of a surety, they killed him not."

The Quran says in Chpt. 4:157 that '... but they (the Jews) kill him not, nor did they cause his death on the cross, but it was made to appear to them: and those who differ therein are full of doubts with (certain) knowledge but only conjecture to follow; for of a surety, they killed him not"
This verse tells us definitely that Jesus was not killed ON THE CROSS.

No, they don't. They consider him as a great prophet. They even belive his virgin birth but they don't believe he was crucified. The believe God magically replaced with with a robot made by allah. Like 72 virgin fembots all the muslim men would get in paradise.
