Tafsir of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Indeed, I am taking you and raising you to Myself"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How do we interpret the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in this context, as it appears in the story of
Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myselfعِيسَىٰ إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ
[Ali 'Imran 3:55]


Answer:
"Tawaffa" means taking hold. He was not tawaffa'd in the sense that his soul separated from his body; rather, he was taken hold of with his soul and his body (peace and blessings be upon him) and elevated. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
