The belief that the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) died in order
toexpiate the sins of all Christians and that death lies at the
remission of sins is a very mistaken belief. In order to see the error
in this belief, our Christian brothers need to reconsider Allah's
justice and the purpose behind creation by using their minds and
consciences, and to bear in mind the following points:
* The idea that people are born in a state of sin is a violation of
Allah's infinite justice:
Everyone comes to this world to be tested. A person has a
responsibilityto spend every rational second serving Allah and living
for His approval in the very limited amount of time bestowed on him.
Allah says in one verse of the Qur'an:
He Who created death and life to test which of you is best in action.
He is the Almighty, the Ever-Forgiving. (Surat al-Mulk, 2)
Therefore, a person whomAllah created from nothingis tested from the
momenthe enters this world and will be held to account for all he does
in it. People's sin or merit is based on the sincere actions they
perform in this world. It is impossible, under the law of Allah, for a
baby, unaware even of its own existence and who has notbegun to be
tested and who has only just opened his eyes on the world, to be in a
state of sin.
* It is a violation of the infinite justice of Allah for a person to
assume the sins of another and to suffer for them:
It is impossible in the system of testing created by Allah for anyone
to redeem the sins of anyoneelse, even if that person is the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh). Everyone who exists or has ever existed in the world IS
RESPONSIBLE ONLY FOR HIMSELF. Neitherhis parents nor his relatives nor
the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) CAN ASSUME responsibility for his sins.
NOBODY WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE for the deedsof anyone else. NOBODY
CAN REDEEM ANYONE ELSE. When the moment of death comes everyone,
Christians included, WILL GIVE ACCOUNT, ALL ALONE and in the Presence
of Allah, for what they did in this world. Allah has revealed this in
the Qur'an:
There is no one in the heavens and earth who will not come to the
All-Merciful as a slave. Hehas counted them and numbered them
precisely. Each of them will come to Him on the Day of Rising all
alone. (Surah Maryam, 93-95)
Almighty Allah has also revealed in the Qur'an thatnobody will be able
to assume the sins of another:
Say: 'Am I to desire otherthan Allah as Lord when He is the Lord of
all things?' What each self earns is for itself alone. No
burden-bearer can bear another's burden. Then you will return to your
Lord, and He will inform you regarding the things about which you
differed.(Surat al-An'am, 164)
...That no burden-bearer can bear another's burden;that man will have
nothing but what he strives for; that his strivingwill most certainly
be seen; that he will then receive repayment of the fullest kind...
(Surat al-Najm, 38-41)
The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is Allah's beloved servant and prophet. It is
a terribleviolation of good conscience to maintain that Allah took the
soul of a holy servant beloved of Him because of the irresponsible
behavior, sins and excesses of those who came after him; it is
afailure to properly appreciate Allah. It is a matter of great urgency
for our sincere Christian brothers to realize the major error here.
The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) did not die and was not killed, Allah
thwarted the plots of thedeniers and took the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
alive into His Presence.
Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on Gaziantep Olay and Çay TV on 14 September, 2010
* The Prophet Jesus (pbuh)did not die:
Another important point that completely rebuffs the idea in question
is the fact that the Prophet Jesus(pbuh) did not die. The Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) was raised into the Presence ofAllah. He is alive in body
and spirit and was protected and taken into the sky in a state of
sleep. By itself this fact totally rebuffs the claim that 'The Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) died as a redeemer of sins." For some mindsets, that see
no other solution than thedeath of the Prophet Jesus(pbuh) for the
redemption of their own sins, and that maintain that his death
prevented all of mankind from perishing, the fact that the Prophet
Jesus (pbuh) is still alive no doubt comes as a great shock. But this
is a definitefact. Those who fail to properly avoid sin by imagining
that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will redeem their sins, who areflexible
when it comes to what Allah has made unlawful or who do not regard
abiding by the obligations imposed by the religion of which they are a
member as a matter of all that much importance are making a grave
error.
