Covenant. (They have incurred Divine dis-

that they slew the messengers in defiance
of right; that they said: 'Our hearts are the
wrappings (which preserve God's Word;
we need no more)'; nay God has set the
seal in their hearts for their blasphemy,
and littlc is it they believe; that they reject-
ed Faith; that they uttered against Mary a
grave false charge; that they said (in boast
and derision); 'We killed Christ Jesus the
son of Mary, the Apostle of God.' But they
killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it
was made to appear to them. And those
who differ therein are full of doubts. with

jecture to follow, for of a surety they killed
him not. Nay, God raised him up to Him-
self; and God is Exalted in Power, Wise".

Islam rejects the doctrine of the Crucifixion of Jesus by
the enemies of God and also the foundations of the doctrine.
