The theory of the substitution of 'Isa with others (Simon of Cyrene, Judas Iscariot), does not satisfy some interpreters of Islam, because not in accordance with the principles of God's justice. In addition, if grammatically traced, it’s also not suitable.

The reason given is that if a person's place of Jesus, should use the third singular pronoun self. Lakin shubiha lahu (but disguised for him) not Lakin shubiha lahum (but disguised for them). Another reason is the verse does not explain who his successor. There is no evidence from the Qur'an and the Hadith which says that people named Yahudza (Judas Iscariot) as a person whose face has been altered so that later replaced Jesus Christ on the cross. Only a book called the Gospel of Barnabas, a fictional tale of Muslims, in medieval times, which clearly write the name Yahudza as a person who was likened to Jesus. This book by some Muslims who are not educated regarded as the only true gospel that still exist, although this book contains a lot of things that do not fit well with the verses of the Koran, such as taking the title Christ for Jesus and pinned on Mohammed . Whereas the Arab prophet was never claimed that title and is very respectful of that title for Jesus, because in Islam, al-Masih's degree does not mean the same as the Messiah in Jewish theology.

Ishaq ibn Bishr in Tafsir Ibn Kathir, express opinions that are very close to the Christian view: "God made him die for three days, then turned back and was appointed to his side."

When viewed Qs an-Nisa 157, "... but they killed him not, nor crucified him, ..." then what is said in the verse there is conformity with the Gospel facts, namely that the Jews did not kill Jesus or crucify him. This is because the data concerning the gospel of Jesus' crucifixion, with clearly stated even though the Jews who demanded the punishment of Jesus, but who carry out the execution of Jesus was still a Roman soldier.

Dokein (apparently)

In the early days of Christianity, there are groups of gnostic sects, who do not believe in the crucifixion of Christ. The reason they put it is not based on historical fact but based on sectarian ideas of their own. According to them, the body is bad, it's just a good spirit. If Christ is the logos, then he may not really be human, because it is impossible Logos that is the spirit, in contact with physical objects. So when Jesus seems to be crucified, then it just seems to be, not really crucified. The truth, Jesus actually laugh at the people who crucified him. Therefore, the teachings of this sectarian cult called "docetism" (from the word δοκέω dokeō, "to seem").

At the time later, Islam emerged, with the doctrine that rejected the crucifixion of Isa al-Masih. This doctrine is based on Surah 4 (An-Nisa) verse 157, "And Because Of Their saying (in Boast)," We killed Messiah 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah, "-but They killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of 'Isa was put over another man (and They killed That man), ... ". Most Muslims interpret this verse by saying that Jesus was not crucified, but replaced with others who likened such as 'Jesus by God, while' God raised Jesus to heaven itself. Opinions like these are teachings which are believed by most Muslims even though there are Muslim leaders who disagree with the doctrine of rejection of the crucifixion 'Isa.

Some Muslim thinkers argue that Jesus was crucified, but only just fainted, and when sober fled to Qumran, living with his mother (Mary) with the Essene sect and died in that place. Ahmadiyya scholars also said the same thing, that Jesus was crucified and collapsed, but after realized he fled to Kashmir, India, where the grave of 'Isa is still there today. It seems Muslim thinkers, and Ahmadiyyah scholars, acknowledging the crucifixion of Isa based verses in the Qur'an: “And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, … (Qs Maryam 33), “And (remember) when Allah said: “O ‘Isa (Jesus) I will take you …(”Ya ‘Isa innee mutawaffeeka”)” (Qs Ali Imran 55), “… but when You took me up, You are the Watcher over them, …” (Qs al-Maidah 117). If viewed literally the verses indicate that Jesus would die, so they can receive the death 'of Jesus by crucifixion as recorded in the Gospels and the Jewish and Roman history. While scholars who do not believe typically use Surah an-Nisa 157 above, "... but They killed him not, nor crucified him, ...". This group recognizes that 'Isa raised to heaven, on the basis of the verses: “But Allah raised him [‘Isa (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself, …” (Qs an-Nisa 158), “And (remember) when Allah said: “O ‘Isa (Jesus) I will take you and raise you to Myself …” (Qs Ali Imran 55). But Qs Maryam verse 33, it embraces both, stating after 'Isa died and then resurrected back to life, “And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!”
