The
great Islamic scholar and jurist, Imam Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi (d.456 H)
understood the fact that the Qur'an al-Majid declares that the
Messiah Eesaa ben Mariam (alaihis salam) has died. He wrote:
ولم
يرد عيسى عليه السلام بقوله (فلما
توفيتنى)
وفاة
النوم فصح أنه انما عنى وفاة الموت
Translation:
“And Jesus (peace be upon him) did not mean by his saying Falammaa
Tawaffaytanee (5:117) that he
was made to sleep. What is correct is that he was made to Die.”

Al-Muhalla; v.1 p.23 (Mas'alah no.41)
