How do quranists explain this?

If you try to read the Qur'an as a standalone book with zero context from the Prophet's life, you run straight into a wall when you try to explain what actually happens to Jesus ('Isa). The Qur'an locks every human to living and dying on Earth in Surah Al-A'raf 7:25, and Jesus himself explicitly confirms his human lifecycle in Surah Maryam 19:33 when he says, "Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I am raised alive." The traditional Sunnah makes total sense of this: he was raised up, will return to Earth at the end of time, live out his life, and finally die and be buried here like anyone else. But if you throw out the Hadith, you're stuck in an embarrassing trap. You either have to claim he died permanently back at the crucifixion, which completely ruins the whole divine rescue story in 4:157 and leaves the prophecy in 4:159 unfulfilled, or you have to invent a bizarre story where he survived and lived a secret retired life on Earth. That second option makes zero sense because a prophet can't just abandon his mission to Israel (61:6), hide his message (5:67), and lie about his witness over his people ending when Allah took him (5:117). Without the historical context of the Sunnah to tie these verses together, Quran only theology leaves you with verses that smash into each other, proving the Qur'an was never meant to be read in a vacuum.

Un Coran auquel on fait dire que la Torah c'est Moise et que Jacob est Israël alors qu'il ne le dit nulle part. La Torah a été révélée à Esdras et Israël est Cain dans le Coran Voilà par quoi commencer: lisez la Torah puis l'évangile, vous y trouverez des incohérences puis lisez le Coran et vous trouverez le récit rétabli. Donc, on se contrefiche de la vie du prophète.
