Christians view of Easter:
According to Christians Easter is the celebration of the resurrection
of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. About 2000 years ago Jesus Christ rode
to Jerusalem on a donkey. After that, he started calling people to the right and
leaving the wrong things they were doing. He
performed many miracles too. He fed many people on just a little bit of food.
He healed the sick and brought back dead to life. He was loved and followed by many
people. But there some others who felt jealous by the popularity of Jesus. These
people got together with Judas Iscariot a disciple of Jesus who to was jealous
of all the love Jesus was receiving. Judas agreed to betray Jesus for 30 pieces
of silver.
One-night Jesus sat down with his disciples for a meal. He
told that next day he would leave them all and join his father God (Nauzubillah).
Judas walked away, when he came back, he had priest men with him. They took Jesus
to Jewish Leaders. Jewish leaders asked that “are you the son of God.” Jesus said
yes.
Jewish leaders said this was an insult to God and he should
be punished.
Eventually, on Friday, Jesus was nailed to a cross with his
hands and feet and crossed was raised to stand. Jesus stayed nailed till night when he finally died. This day came to be known as “Good Friday”. Friends of
Jesus and his mother brought him down from the cross and laid him in a cave and
made his tomb. They sealed the cave with a rock.
Marry Magdalena a friend of Jesus visited his tomb two days
later on a Sunday. When Tomb was open his body was not there. When Jesus’s
Mother found out about it, she broke down crying. A stranger came to her and
told her that her son is now with the Lord. She asked him how he knew this. The
man told him that he was Jesus he had risen from dead. Mary overjoyed to know
this and spread the word of Jesus Resurrection and this day came to be
celebrated as “Easter Sunday”
Islamic View on Easter
In Quran Surah Nisa Verse 157,158 Allah said that
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.Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise.[4:157,158]Allah clearly mentions in this verse that Jesus was not killed, so there is no reason for his resurrection
