The Qur’anic statement “they neither killed home nor crucified him” is merely the denial that Jesus Jewish enemies had killed him. Who is THEY?

The verse comes after a sequence of verses starting around 7:153 criticizing disobedience Israelites for breaking their covenant with God. The last misdeed the Quran accuses these people of doing is slandering Mary and boasting about their killing of Jesus. The Quran denies their claim and instead says Allah raised up Jesus to himself in the next verse. The Jewish claim to have killed Jesus is in the Talmud and other texts like Taldot Yeshu which contain a Jewish polemic against Jesus and Mary in which Jewish rabbis happily take credit for killing Jesus as a heretic and accuse Mary of being a harlot.

Read all this alongside Quran 3:55 where God tells Jesus “I am causing you to die and raising you to myself and cleansing you of those who disbelieve”. So God caused Jesus to die by taking Jesus soul and raising his soul to His presence and purified Jesus repute from his enemies attacks. The reality of Jesus is his soul - which nobody can kill or crucify. They only crucified his material body.

This isn’t a denial of Jesus physical death on cross; it’s a denial of the agency and power of his Jewish enemies in putting him to death. This is also what the Bible teaches in Acts and in Paul’s letters - that Jesus was put to death according the plan of God and his enemies didn’t know that divine plan.

This is true. The original “dawah” was Fatimids calling muslim soldiers and intellectuals to establish and expand the Fatimid caliphate.

The idea of standing on the street begging for converts is completely degenerate.

There exists a Necessary Existent that: Exists by itself, does not depend on anything else, does not change or cease, is the ultimate cause of all contingent things

This Necessary Existent is what Avicenna identifies as God.

Thanks, correct me if I misunderstood his argument.

If the cause is outside all contingent things, then it must be necessary. Because we already established that everything is either contingent or necessary. If something is not contingent, then it must be necessary. So the cause of all contingent existence is a necessary existent
