The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Did Allah cause the Prophet 'Isa (peace and blessings be upon him) to pass away in the sense that He took his soul, or is he still alive, raised up in the sky?
The Shaykh:
He took his body, but He did not take his soul. He took his body while he was alive. "I am causing you to pass away" means "I am taking you"; it does not mean "I am killing you." He took him and raised him while he was alive.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says:
The Shaykh:
The Jews gathered intending to kill him (peace and blessings be upon him), so Allah raised him up from among them while they were unaware.
