The following are some quotes from the Holy Qur’an, Hadith and
the Bible that confirm the notion that Jesus died a natural death:
PROMISE MADE
[3:56] Remember the time when Allah said, 'O Jesus, I will cause
thee to die a natural death and will raise thee to Myself, and will
clear thee of the charges of those who disbelieve, and will exalt those
who follow thee above those who disbelieve, until the Day of
Resurrection; then to Me shall be your return, and I will judge
between you concerning that wherein you differ.'
PROMISE FULFILLED
11. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world and
I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those
whom thou hast given me that they may be one, as we are.
12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those
that thou gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of
perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. (John 17:11, 12 - King
James Version)
In the following verse it is stated that all of us, upon our death,
return “towards” Him. Does it mean that we are raised physically?
[6:4] And He is Allah, the God, both in the heavens and in the earth.
[2:116] To Allah belongs the East and the West; so whithersoever you
turn, there will be the face of Allah. Surely, Allah is Bountiful, All-
Knowing.
“In some Hadiths it is mentioned that had Moses and Jesus lived
today they wouldn’t have any option but to follow me.” (Tafseer Ibn-e-
Kathir vol-1, p-449)
