Qadianis say that the word mutawaffeek a in Quran 3:55 and tawaffaitani in Quran 5:117 speak of the death of Prophet Jesus (PBUH) and they erroneously translate the verses as;
BUY GABRIEL K'S FIRST BOOK Lo! God said:`O Jesus! Verily I shall cause thee to die, and shall exalt thee unto me... (3:55) "I said to them naught save as Thou didst command me: 'Serve God, my Lord and your Lord.'; and I was a witness of them so long as I was among them, but when Thou didst cause me to die Thou wast the Watcher over them. And Thou art Witness of all things.' (5:117)
But this is wrong. I present the Islamic view point in detail in the following lines; Correct Translation:

Quran 3:55 informs believers that Allah will take back Jesus (PBUH), protect him from the unbelievers, and raise him to His presence. Many great Islamic scholars and commentators have interpreted this verse to mean that Jesus (PBUH) did not die. As the verse states:
When Allah said: O Isa , I am to take you in full (mutawaffeeka) and to raise you towards Myself, and to cleanse you of those who disbelieve, and to place those who follow you above those who disbelieve up to the Day of Doom. Then to Me is your return, whereupon I shall judge between you in that over which you have differed. (3:55) The part requiring special consideration is the sentence; I will take you back (mutawaffeeka) and raise you up to Me.

And indeed Quran 5:117 also goes on the same lines. "I have not said to them anything but what You have ordered me to say, that is, 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord and I was a witness over them as long as I was with them. But when You recalled me (tawaffaitani), You were the One watching over them. You are a witness over everything." (5:117) A close examination reveals a most important truth: The verb carries a sense that differs from what is normally meant by to die. The word translated into English as to die comes from the Arabic root waffaa derived from the verb tawaffaa, which does not imply death, but rather taking the soul, or surrender.

"Al-tawaffa in the Arabic language means: to exact fully or take in full. It takes three forms; the first: to take in sleep; the second: to take in death; and the third: to take the body and soul all together." (AlJawab Al-Sahih 2/83) In Kulliyat Abu Al-Baqa it is stated:

"Tawaffa is putting to death and extracting the soul in common usage while in the classical usage it is 'taking in full and 'exacting the due right.' 2-Quranic usage: The Quran also reveals that taking a persons soul does not always imply death. For instance, another verse uses tawaffaa to refer not to a persons death, but to taking his or her soul while asleep: "Allah fully takes away (yatawaffaa) the souls (of the people) at the time of their death (mawtiha), and (of) those who do not die (lam tamut), in their sleep. Then He withholds those on whom He had decreed death (al-mawt), and sends others back, up to an appointed term. Surely, in this, there are signs for a people who ponder." (Quran 39: 42) The word here translated as taking back is the same as that used in Quran 3:55 and 5:117: tawaffaa. Since a person does not actually die during the night, the word yatawaffaa here refers not to death, but to taking the soul at night. If tawaffaa were being used in the sense of death, then that would mean that all people would be biologically dead during sleep. Thus, Jesus (PBUH) would have died every night of his life. Such an assertion is both irrational and illogical. 3-Explanation from Hadith: Another instance in which sleep is regarded as a kind of death, but which does not refer to biological death, is the following Hadith: Narrated Huzaifa: When the Holy Prophet (PBUH) moved to his bed (to sleep) he would say; All praise is for God, Who has made us alive after He made us die [sleep] (Al-hamdu li Allah illazi ahyana bada maa amatana; wa ilayhi al-nushoor). (Sahih Bukhari Hadith 5837) No doubt, he used these wise words not to refer to biological death when one is asleep, but rather to a sleeping persons soul being taken.

4-Jesus (PBUH) was given a kind of sleep: Ibn Kathir, the famous Islamic scholar and commentator, used this Hadith, along with many other proofs in his commentary on Surah Al-Imran, to explain that tawaffaa refers to sleep. In addition, he indicated the words meaning in other verses where it appears. Ibn Kathir gave his opinion using a Hadith handed down by Ibn Abi Hatim: Ibn Abi Hatim says that: My father told us

{ } : ... from Hassan that the meaning of the verse I will take you back is this: Here it means that I shall kill you with the death of sleep.' In other words, I shall cause you to sleep. So, Allah raised Jesus (PBUH) to the heavens while he was asleep." (Ibn Kathir 2/47) Infact there is a Hadith which clarifies beyond all doubt. It goes as; " : Hasan (RA) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to the Jews, 'Jesus has not died, he will return to you before the Doomsday.'" (Al-Tabari H.7133) 5-Antonym of Hayat (Life) in the Quran? Further we know that in the Holy Quran only the word mawt (death) is used in contrast to hayat (life) e.g. See

1-Meaning of qad khalat: Here the actual Arabic word is 'qad k halat' which comes from the word 'k hala'. About 'k hala' Raghib Isfahani says: "Al-Khallu (the root of khala) is used for for both time and space and but as there is a nuance of the past in (its usage of) time so linguists take it to refer to the past." (Mufradaat al-Quran 1/158) .... and then he gives Quran 3:144 and 13:6 as its examples. Thus he makes it clear that the verse does not refer to the death of the Prophets before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It does not even deal with their being alive or dead rather it only refers to their fact of their having lived in the past. 2-Meaning of 'khala' for persons: Its also wrong to say that when used for persons the word k hala means death for we read in the Quran: ...and there never were a people, without a Warner having lived (khala) among them (in the past) (Quran 35: 24) Even according to the translation of Sher Ali Qadiani it reads as; and there is no people to whom a Warner has not been sent. In this verse translating the word 'k hala' as Qadianis say otherwise will certainly be absurd. 3-Its meaning in relation to Quran 5:75: Quran 5:75 goes as: Some try to relate it to Quran 5:75 mistranslating it as:
The Messiah, son of Mary, was only a Messenger; surely, Messengers like unto him had indeed passed away before him. [Qadiani Translation]
Infact to take this verse 5:75 to refer to death of all the prophets is erroneous because we know that while Jesus (PBUH) walked this Earth Prophet Yahya (John the Baptist) was alive. So the correct translation of this verse is as under; The Masih, son of Maryam, is no more than a Messenger. There have been messengers before him Therefore the best translation of Quran 3: 144 is as done by Shaykh Taqi Usmani i.e. And Muhammad is but a messenger, there have been messengers before him. So, if he dies or is killed, would you turn back on your heels? All the explanation above refutes the Qadiani position in favor of the Islamic creed. INDEED ALLAH KNOWS THE BEST!

Anonymous March 20, 2013 at 2:08 AM So, what's the meaning this ayah? 21:34 And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die would they be eternal? Reply Replies Waqar Akbar April 12, 2013 at 9:59 AM The verse does not oppose the idea of 'Eisa (AS) being alive for all Muslims believe he will die after his descent. He will taste death and the one who dies is not eternal. Reply
