Assalamu’alaikum..
Some of our Christian brothers and sisters believe that Muslim also believe in the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ during the crucifixion. Due to their ignorance, they love to quote verse 19:33 which says
"So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"! [19:33]
If we look at the verse literally, it indeed gives us a clear point that these verse is not talking about the resurrection. However, let us take a look at the history of the events. In order to understand that, we shall begin from verse 19:30 whereby the event took place after Vigin Mary giving birth to him. The people accuse Mary for giving birth to an adultery product. So, Jesus spoke in a cradle that he is a servant of Allah and Allah appoints him as a Prophet. Then he said that Allah Has blessed Him wheresoever he be and commands him to perform Solah and pay the Zakkat. He further adds that Allah has made him kind to his mother and did not make him miserable. And for all that, he prays that he was given peace by God during the day of he born (Wulidtun- means past tense), the day he will die (Amut) and the day he will be resurrected (Ab’as)
Amut means dies as human being dies when his times come and resurrected means that he will bring to live on the Day of Judgment. The message is not just dedicated to Jesus. God has revealed the same message to John the Baptist which sounds,
So Peace on him the day he was born, the day that he dies, and the day that he will be raised up to life (again)!
Verse 4:157 further confirm that Jesus is not being crucifies or resurrected.
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:- [4:157]
