Jesus In Ahmadiyya Islam
Similar to mainstream Islamic views, the Ahmadiyya Movement consider that Jesus was a mortal man, but unlike majority Islam, believe that Jesus died a natural death in Kashmir - as opposed to having been raised up alive to Heaven. They also believe that the Turin Shroud was of Jesus Christ.
Although the view of Jesus having migrated to India had also been researched in the literature of independent historians predating the foundation of the movement, the Ahmadiyya Movement is the only religious organization to adopt these views as a tenet of their faith, although independently of the early historians. The general notion of Jesus in India has also been discussed at length by modern western historians Grönbold and Klatt and publicized in several documentaries.

Famous quotes containing the words jesus and/or islam:
“Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of the Spirit, washed in Christ’s blood.”
—Fanny J. Crosby (1820–1915)
“Awareness of the stars and their light pervades the Koran, which reflects the brightness of the heavenly bodies in many verses. The blossoming of mathematics and astronomy was a natural consequence of this awareness. Understanding the cosmos and the movements of the stars means understanding the marvels created by Allah. There would be no persecuted Galileo in Islam, because Islam, unlike Christianity, did not force people to believe in a “fixed” heaven.”
—Fatima Mernissi, Moroccan sociologist. Islam and Democracy, ch. 9, Addison-Wesley Publishing Co. (Trans. 1992)
