Answer

The fact of the matter is that your perceptions of this situation is%0D%0Aincorrect. Christians believe that Eesa [Alayhis salaam] crucifiction was%0D%0Athe ultimate sacrifice to absolve man of sin which is his necessary%0D%0Aattribute. Without this sacrifice, man could not be released from the%0D%0Aboundage of sin. Without his intercession, there is no hope of salvation.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe Muslim's perception of Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] is%0D%0Aentirely different. Firstly, Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] did%0D%0Anot have to be killed for his intercession to be accepted. Secondly, Allah%0D%0ATa'ala will forgive and admit many people into Jannah without Rasulullah's%0D%0A[Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam] intercession. Thirdly, there are certain sins%0D%0Aso severe that Rasulullah [Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam] has stated that the%0D%0Aperpetrators of these will be deprived of my intercession. Christians on the%0D%0Aother hand believe that whoever brings faith in Eesa as their saviour, will%0D%0Again salvation. Thus, Muslims cannot do whatever they wish and still they%0D%0Awill gain the intercession of Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam].%0D%0ABesides this, there are many other differences which if you would attempt to%0D%0Aresearch would become apparent to you.%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai
