The matter of the crucification and death of Jesus Christ

The subject of the study is the Cross and Death of Jesus Christ. This study is limited to the issue of the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ, which is expressed in very different ways in the Quran. The study aims to get to know the life of Jesus according to the Gospels, to touch on the important issues of the week of suffering and to investigate the meaning and dimensions of the headings of the crucifixion and death of Jesus from both the Christian and the Quranic perspectives. The aim of the study is to comparatively present the issue of the crucifixion and death in terms of both the Gospels and Christianity and the Quran and its interpretations, thus demonstrating the Quran's unique style of narration about Jesus Christ, his crucifixion and death. At the end of the study, it will be concluded that according to the Gospels, Jesus Christ was crucified, was resurrected three days later, remained with his apostles for about forty days and ascended to the right hand of God, and according to the Quran, It has been concluded that Jesus was not crucified or killed by the Jews or Romans, but was taken up to heaven or to the presence of God in a way that only God knows. The subject is addressed in three sections, paying attention to these issues. In the first section, the important information and events throughout the life of Jesus Christ are examined. His mother Mary and the teachings and miracles of Jesus are presented from the perspective of Christianity, based on the canonical and apocryphal Gospels. The subject of the second section is the cross and death of Jesus Christ. Based on Christian beliefs and acceptances, the subjects of the cross and death, as well as his birth, baptism, the last supper that took place in the last week, his arrest, trial, crucifixion and death, his resurrection on the third day and his ascension to heaven, which are directly related to these, are addressed. Thus, the infrastructure is established to understand how the form of the subject in the Quran responds to Christianity. In the third section, the subject of the cross and death is presented based on the Quran, but sometimes in a comparative way with its meaning in Christianity. Subjects such as the resurrection, ascension and second coming of Jesus Christ are also addressed in line with different views. It has been observed that the main sources of the two religions contain opposite information about the crucifixion and death, but the views that they have similar or similar characteristics are mostly derived from Hadith narrations.
