Comparative Analysis of Approaches of Synoptic Gospels and Koran Regarding Crucifixion

Bashir Salimi, Mahdi Rezazadeh Joudi

Abstract


Chalipa is a Persian ancient name for English Cross. We aimed to investigate different interpretations and approaches from Islamic sources on the concept of Jesus ascension into heaven. To investigate degree of genuineness of the verses and compare/contrast with Christianity approaches in order to clarify the controversial traditions ultimately to provide a new understanding on the subject of Christian Theology. To accomplish that the following goal was adopted: the similarity of synoptic Gospels and Koran. Considering this vision, Islamic mysticism is comparable with Gospel of john and Pauline epistles. The research method in this study focused on a wide range of book-reviews research and   analyzing aftermath events, we left no stone unturned regarding available Islamic traditions of   hadiths. At first glance, the results indicated that the concept of ascension of Jesus, peace be upon him, comparable to the allegorical verses of Quran. However, the late Mohammadhosein Tabatabai introduced a comprehensive vision to resolve the past interpreted problems. Adopting some of his results, it is concluded that esoteric interpretations and comparative methods of studies of verses seems the most rational criteria of the subject matter.
