In Islam, Jesus (Arabic: عِيسَىٰ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ, romanized: ʿĪsā ibn Maryam, lit. ’Jesus, son of Mary’), referred to by the Arabic rendering of his name Isa, is believed to be the penultimate prophet and messenger of God (Allāh) and the Messiah being the last of the messengers sent to the Israelites (Banī Isra’īl) with a revelation called the Injīl (Evangel or Gospel). In the Quran, Jesus is described as the Messiah (Arabic: المسيح, romanized: al-Masīḥ), born of a virgin, performing miracles, accompanied by his disciples, and rejected by the Jewish establishment; in contrast to the traditional Christian narrative.
However, he is stated neither to have been crucified, nor executed, nor to have been resurrected, as is stated in Christian narrative. Rather, it is that stated that it appeared to the Jews that way by Allah (God) who had fooled them through an illusion, as if they had executed him and that they therefore say they killed Jesus, who had in truth ascended into heaven. It’s stated in many Islamic narratives that it was in fact Judas, who was made to have Jesus’s face by Allah, and who was thus arrested and crucified. Jesus meanwhile was raised by Allah to heaven where he now resides.
