Holy Scriptures

Quran

A separate research and index branch inside Holy Scriptures — never merged with the Bible text. This ministry’s own Themes and Writings do not yet cite the Quran directly; this branch begins from real, independently-sourced material rather than an invented corpus, and will grow as real citations are added.

Surah An-Nisaa (4), Ayah 157

QURAN TEXTQuran 4:157 — Arabic (Uthmani)

وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا ٱلْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ لَفِى شَكٍّۢ مِّنْهُ ۚ مَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلَّا ٱتِّبَاعَ ٱلظَّنِّ ۚ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًۢا

QURAN TEXTQuran 4:157 — English

“And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger — they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.”

Trans. Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall, 1930 (public domain)

CONNECTED WITNESSWisdom of Solomon 3:1–3 (KJV Apocrypha)

“But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery, And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.”

Offered as a connected witness on the theme of apparent death and true standing before GOD — not Quran text, and not part of the Old or New Testament canon.
