The crucifixion of the Christ!!!!!
What is the evidence for the crucifixion of Christ?

 What's strange is that the alleged story of Jesus's crucifixion was written a long time after
the claimed incident!!! And what's even stranger is that the incident of the crucifixion was not witnessed by any of the apostles, as stated in the bible. As is made evident here:

{"And they all left him and fled"} Mark 14:50
 {"...But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled."
Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.} Matthew 26:56.

Whoever claims otherwise has to present an evidence for his/her claim; even though that would basically mean accusing Mark and Mathew of lying). 
The significant truth here is that none of the four Gospel scribes personally attended the crucifixion of Jesus and that they just received this information verbally from other people; and this is where the confusion begins.
The Old Testimony prophesied the raising of Jesus Christ. For Jesus used to challenge them:

🍃John 7:34.
{"You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.”} 

Jesus was certain that God was with him and that he was going to help him:

🍃Psalm 41:2 
 2 The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

🍃Psalm 91:14 
 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

 These texts make it unequivocally clear that God promises Jesus to raise him and save his life.

Finally I convey a passage from the Holy Bible that blows up the fabricated crucifixion story completely!

 📌Psalm 9:13-15
13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that lift me up from the gates of death:
 14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
 15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

For verily true is God(Allah) Almighty's saying in the Holy Quran:
  وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اللّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَـكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلاَّ اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًا(157)
  (Interpretation of the meaning 👇)

  {{And [for] their saying,
 "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah ."
 And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble
 him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no
knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain.}} (4:157)

HOW THE WRITERS OF JOHN CHANGED THE STORY OF CRUCIFIXION TO PROOVE THEIR FALSE BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED WILLINGLY FOR THE SINS OF MEN.

The gospel account of mark, Matthew, and Luke contradicts each other regarding the issue of Crucifixion, even though there are many similarities in the reports.

But John's gospel is truly unique in its portrayal of Crucifixion.The gospel writers entirely changed the story to present Jesus as someone that came to die willingly for the sin of men.
This leads to a great contradiction between the gospel of john and synoptic gospels concerning the issue of Crucifixion.

One of the major contradictions is that the synoptic gospels reported that Jesus wasn't ready to die willingly.The reports from synoptic gospels prove that when he heard that there was a plan to arrest him he ran away and hid himself in the garden and prayed for God to save him.Matthew 26:42, Mark 14:36, luke 22:42-43 all reported that Jesus ran away and prayed to God with tears for God to save him from death.
I know some insincere Christians who will say that Jesus wasn't crying for God to save him from Crucifixion, if that is the case Hebrew 5:7 refuses them, because the verse in Hebrew clearly States that Jesus prayed for God to save him "... from death...".

Also Matthew 27:46 proves that Jesus continued praying for God to save him even when he was on the cross.He even complained when God refused to save him by saying " ..MY GOD, MY GOD WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME.."
IT IS CLEAR THAT JESUS DIDN'T WANT TO DIE ACCORDING TO SYNOPTIC GOSPELS.

But if you go to the last gospel ( John) that was written over 100 years by unknown writers the story is different.
According to john, Jesus died willingly.The writers intentionally omitted incidences where Jesus prayed for God to save him also where Jesus complaint that God had forsaken him.THEY INTRODUCED SOME STATEMENTS AND PUT IN THE LIPS OF JESUS WHICH WILL PROVE TO THE READERS THAT JESUS DIED WILLINGLY WITHOUT COMPLAIN.SEE JOHN 10:11 AND MANY OTHER PLACES IN THE BOOK.

What make me laugh when I was comparing the accounts is :
ACCORDING TO THE SYNOPTIC GOSPELS JUDAS HAD A PLAN WITH THE SOLDIERS THAT HE IS GOING TO SHOW THEM JESUS BY KISSING HIM. SO IMMEDIATELY HE KISSED JESUS THE SOLDIERS ARRESTED JESUS BECAUSE THAT TELLS THEM HE IS THE ONE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.SEE LUKE 22:44-50, MATTHEW 26:47-58, MARK 14:43-52.THESE WRITERS

#True Baptism

1- For Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) and his followers, Baptism was just a bath or ablution to purify themselves physically, ritually and spiritually, but, with Pauline interpretation, it became a symbol of belief in Jesus’ so-called death and resurrection.

2- We, as Muslims, accept the early tradition and that is what Islam has preserved and reaffirmed. We do not accept the later interpretation and doctrinal aberrations.

In his response to this question, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, former president of the Islamic Society of North America, states:

The word ‘Baptism’ comes from the Greek ‘Baptein’ which means ‘to plunge, to immerse, or to wash.’ It was an ancient custom to wash or to make ablution.

Islam has preserved this tradition in the form of ablution and ritual Ghusl for purification purpose.

Allah mentions in the Qur’an that He made water a source for purification. Allah Almighty says,

وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً طَهُورًا (48)
 (Iterpretation by meaning 👇)
 “And He it is Who sends the winds, glad tidings heralding His mercy, and We send down purifying water from the sky.” (Al-Furqan 25:48)

Like all other Prophets of Allah, Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) also washed himself to purify himself. During his time, Yahya (John, the Baptist) used to call people to repent and purify themselves in the River Jordan.

It is mentioned that Jesus also went to him and took a bath of purification (Mark 1:9-11).

After that Allah appointed Jesus as His prophet and messenger and he began preaching Allah’s Message. Jesus was a servant of Allah. He used to pray and for his prayers he must be purifying himself.

Jews in his time also used to do a lot of ritual washings. The Old Testament speaks a lot about the use of water for the purpose of purification. (See Numbers 19:1-22; Leviticus 14-15-16:24-28)

After Jesus left this world, Paul became a leader of some Christians. It was he who gave a new interpretation of Jesus’ Baptism. He told them that when a person takes a Baptism in water, actually he immerses himself in Jesus’ blood and dies with him and then he is resurrected like Jesus into a new person. (See Romans 6:3-4).

Paul gave a new definition of Baptism. For him, it was something to do with Original Sin and then the alleged death and resurrection of Jesus. (See Colossians 2:12).

For Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) and his followers the Baptism was just a bath or ablution to purify themselves physically, ritually and spiritually, but, with Pauline interpretation, it became a symbol of belief in Jesus’ so-called death and resurrection.

We, as Muslims, accept the early tradition and that is what Islam has preserved and reaffirmed. We do not accept the later interpretation and doctrinal aberrations.

Allah Almighty knows best.
