@bin_ibadh @freemonotheist @KhalilAndani @DrJavadTHashmi @FikranYusufzai @yousef1118 @shahanSean Like the majority of Muslims however, they also read the text as he was neither killed or crucified. The difference being that they hold the position that he died and will not return, following the same trajectory as every other prophet.

@heree2learnn Hi when researching Islam, I would of course start with the Qur’an first and foremost. If you are looking for a good commentary, then I would recommend the Study Qur’an as it is an academic non denominational work which compares and contrasts different interpretations without

@muslimcritiques Every madhab pays lip service to the principle of placing the Qur’an first, yes, but none of them actually abide by it. Although some do better than others due to their differing founding epistemologies, settings and development.
