Thank u so much Shamms for clarifying this point. This is a deteminant point in Islamic teachings.
Jesus is a miracle on the whole, starting from the day he was born to a virgin woman who was called in Quran the purest woman on earth. She was so much honored and respected in Quran through a whole chapter on her name. Till the day of his departure. Allah Never Allowed the Jews to even put him on the cross. No for Allah Defends His Messengers so well and Protects them in a way that amazes everyone. Abandoning him to be crucified and die on the cross is demeaning to Allah as a Creator. Like Allah Cannt Protect, let us assume the only son, from his enemies.
Any way, Jesus was never crucified but raised to Allah alive. He is to return to earth when the Day After approaches and this will be one of the major signs of the Day after.
Shamms u even confused me more, look at the underlined part of the verse, is he son of man, or son of god?? let me know pls.

Don, there will be no agreement on that last point, because muslims don't believe, and Islam does not teach, that Jesus was the son of God. Qur'an teaches and muslims believe, he was just a human, a prophet like Isaiah or Jeremiah, but human nontheless. The Qur'an teaches that Jesus was not the only begotten son of God, but that Allah begets not. The Qur'an also teaches that Christ was not crucified but only made to appear so. Remember what Christ himself taught:
Matthew 12:40 - For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the <b>Son of man </b>
be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
If Jesus Christ was never crucified as the Qur'an teaches, then Christ was not raised. These are two very different messages from two very different sources. How can you believe they come from the same God? Muslims claim they believe in Jesus, but it is not the Jesus of the Bible, it is the Jesus mentioned in the Qur'an, which according to both accounts, are two very different men. So there won't be an agreement on that point.
And Faris, thanks for the correction on the name.. I won't forget ;)
