The first response from a few Muslims would be “no, no and no!” Muslims cannot celebrate resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus did not die, he and his message lives on!

He will come back as the Messiah to close the chapter of human suffering and bring salvation to mankind by reconnecting them with God.

However, the insecure Christians and Muslims make a villain out of Jesus, “Yeah, he will come as Muhammad and slaughter every one and convert them to Islam.” On the other hand Muslims believe, “Yeah, he will come back and establish peace (Islam) on earth by forbidding evil and enjoining the good.” Shamefully those few on both sides are projecting Jesus in a political context.
