Al-Nisa’ 4: 155–7

“Enter the gate in the state of prostration.”90 And We said to them: “Do not violate the law of the Sabbath,” and took from them a firm covenant. (155) (They have incurred Allah’s wrath) for their breaking the covenant, and their rejection of the Signs of Allah, and for slaying Prophets without right, and for saying: “Our hearts are wrapped up in covers”91 – even though in fact Allah has sealed their hearts because of their disbelief, so that they scarcely believe – (156) and for their going so far in disbelief as uttering against Mary a mighty calumny, (157) and their saying: “We slew the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary,” the Messenger of Allah92 – whereas in fact they had neither slain him nor crucified him ▶

90 See al-Baqarah 2: 58-9.

91 Whenever the Messengers of God tried to admonish the Israelites, they said point-blank that no matter what argument or evidence the former might adduce in support of their message, they would remain unmoved.

92 Their criminal boldness had reached such proportions that they even attempted to put an end to the life of the person whom they themselves knew to be a Prophet, and subsequently went around boasting of this achievement. Were we to refer to Surah Maryam 19: 16-40, along with the relevant notes, it will be clear that the Jews recognized Jesus to be a Prophet. Despite this, they carried out the crucifixion of someone who, in their belief, was none other than Jesus.
