Resurrection of Christ

CRITICAL AND DISTINCT IN KIND FROM EVERY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THIS PIPELINE: Islam affirms a general bodily resurrection (qiyamat) at the end of time, so this doctrine is not denied outright the way it might be assumed to be; however, Christ’s death is denied (see the closely related atonement/crucifixion risk under Salvation and Grace), which makes his specific, already-accomplished resurrection ahead of the general resurrection a claim that presupposes a crucifixion Islamic theology rejects happened at all (Qur’an 4:157). The real risk is therefore upstream, at the crucifixion, not at resurrection terminology itself.
