Does the Qur’an Leave Room for the Crucifixion of Jesus?

Does the Qur’an actually leave room for the crucifixion of Jesus, or is an alternative interpretation a departure from centuries of consensus? This video is a presentation I originally gave for “The Prometheans” YouTube channel. In this session, I explore the Qur’an’s stance on the crucifixion of Jesus—specifically focusing on Verse 4:157, which I call the “non-crucifixion verse”. I examine whether the Qur’an offers an unambiguous denial or if there is room for alternative interpretations. Key topics include: • Early Sources: Why early Muslim and non-Muslim commentators were unanimous in their understanding of a crucifixion denial. • The Ismaili Departure: How late Ismaili sources broke from consensus and why their position was driven by doctrine rather than textual analysis. • Modern Scholarship: An evaluation of contemporary Muslim and Western scholars who claim the Qur’an does not deny the crucifixion. I argue that these modern claims are often driven by external objectives rather than a literal reading of the text.
