Why do Muslims not believe Jesus was crucified? (OP)
Hi all, another one of my questions
I don't believe in the Christian reason as to why Jesus was crucified i.e. to die for the sins of man etc. However apart from religion being crucified was common at the time. Why do Muslims not believe this happened to Jesus?
In Christian theology, Jesus has a dual nature, both God and man. When Jesus would pray to God, it was the human side of Jesus praying not the God side.
In Christian theology, Jesus (God) was sacrificed because the only acceptible sacrifice would be a morally perfect one. In order to be perfect, you must be God.
God became human so that he could be a perfect example on how to live and God became human to be more
intimatley relateable.
Do you also not know that there is no eyewitness testimony to Jesus (pbuh) crucifixion and resurrection, but only hearsay?

Dont you realize that the concept of Sacrifice for sins contradicts his own law which states
But suppose a wicked person turns away from all the sins that he has done. He obeys all my laws and does what is fair and right. He will certainly live. He will not die. Ezekiel 18:21
So your so-called self sufficient Lord suddenly realized that he needs his own blood to be shed to satisfy his thirst and no longer requires people to turn away from sins for their own good ?The very thought of it just laughable and thus blasphemous

We don't know the details and as muslim we shouldn't make conjectures, but here's what Allah SWT says:
Yusuf Ali
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:-
Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;-
(QS. An Nisa: 157-158)
