Jesus in Ahmadiyya Islam

Like the mainstream Islamic views on Jesus, the Ahmadiyya Movement also considers that Jesus was only a human being and a true prophet of God, born to the virgin Mary, but unlike the majority contemporary Islamic view which holds that Jesus was not crucified but raised up alive to Heaven and remains alive, Ahmadis believe that Jesus carried out his mission to the Israelites, survived crucifixion and died a natural death in Kashmir where he had migrated to escape persecution and to preach to the Lost Tribes of Israel and that he is not alive. In connection with this they also believe that the Turin Shroud is of Jesus Christ. Moreover, in contrast to mainstream Muslims, a literal understanding of some of Jesus' miracles in the Quran (such as creating birds and bringing the dead back to life) is seen as inconsistent with numerous verses of the Quran itself and as attributing semi-divine status to Jesus; and is therefore rejected for a more hermeneutic approach to understanding the Quranic account of such miracles
