Jesus' body died on the cross. When the centurion pierced HIs side out came water from the heart's pericardial sac. He had to die to fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah 53:10 and the foreshadows and typologies in the Old Testament. But because Jesus is Ruh Allah, a Spirit from God, His Spirit could not die. His Spirit is God's Holy Spirit, which unifies His soul with God and makes Him divine and one with God as Jesus said, "I and My Father are one" john 10:30. Isaiah 42:1. This verse has a counterpart in the Koran. I think it's 2:87.
Synopsis: The Quran's statements on the crucifixion can be perfectly reconciled with Jesus' ability to lay down his own life and taking it back again. And also the idea that God can take people up while they're still alive.
Except there were eye witnesses to Jesus crucifiction and resurrection.
The quaran was written centuries later.
The different gospel accounts dont contradict each other on the crucifixion and resurrection, and the gospels were written within the lifetimes of the eyewitnesses.so why do the different gospels have different accounts of the crucifixion and the resurrection?
How is that relevant? The New Testament was written centuries after the Old Testament.
so why do the different gospels have different accounts of the crucifixion and the resurrection?
All four gospels say the same thing, Jesus died and was resurrected. Some details vary depending on what the individual writer was remembering or in the case of Mark and Luke, what they were told from the people who were there. All four accounts harmonize beautifully.so why do the different gospels have different accounts of the crucifixion and the resurrection?

Jesus' Spirit is God's Holy Spirit and cannot die. His body died, the image that is mentioned in the Koran. His soul was released when HIs body died and went to paradise to give the gospel to the souls there so they could go to heaven. The fact that He died is a recorded historical fact noted by secular historians.

They do not. They have four perspectives of the same events, written soon after the event.so why do the different gospels have different accounts of the crucifixion and the resurrection?
It is not an eyewitness account, but pure invention purposed to create a new narrative, necessary if Jesus is going to be replaced by another prophet.How is that relevant?
Immaterial. The New Testament is a collection of eye-witness accounts of contemporary events, and the collective wisdom drawn from the implications of those precise events.The New Testament was written centuries after the Old Testament.
They do not. They have four perspectives of the same events, written soon after the event.
It is not an eyewitness account, but pure invention purposed to create a new narrative
All of the gospel accounts say the same thing, that Jesus died and was raised from the dead which is the gospel, injil, which Muhammad instructed his followers to read. He would not have said that if he thought the gospel narratives contradict each other.If the four perspectives of the same event vary and contradict each other, it's a problem. We have every reason to doubt it.
Because in a court of law, if four eyewitnesses narrated four stories that vary and contradict each other, a judge would not accept them as evidence and the party the four were witnessing for would lose the case.
That can be said about the new Testament as well.
Many events in the Gospels did not have eyewitnesses: such as Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane (where all the disciples were asleep) and Jesus' conversation with Pilate (when they were alone). Yet, they appear in the Gospels.
