For generations, Muslims have held that Jesus (peace be upon him) did not die and was never crucified. This book challenges that assumption at its foundations. Through a close study of waf??, a critical review of major commentators, and a detailed analysis of al?Nis?? 4:157–158, it argues that the Qur'an's own wording affirms both the death and crucifixion of the Messiah. The final chapter probes the theological implications, showing how the Qur'an situates this event within God's deliberate design rather than human deception.
Compact, forceful, and grounded in philological and historical?critical method, this work offers a bold re?reading of a pivotal question in Islamic theology. It invites scholars and serious students to reconsider long?held assumptions in light of the Qur'an's textual evidence.
