* Note 079:029.   The planting of different meanings on this word  رَفَعَ (ra-fa-aa)  has split the Moslem World in many sects.   The word is used elsewhere in the Holy Qor-aan.   In the verse 002:254 it refers to the Messengers whom God ranked above others.   In the verse 003:056, one translation is “O Jesus, I will cause thee to die a natural death and will exalt you to Myself” referring to the Almighty God use of the term “Jesus son of Mary.”

There is an opposite view that “O ‘Isa (Jesus) I will take you and raise you to Myself.”  The proponents profess that God did not let Jesus die a natural death on the Cross but physically lifted him to the Heavens and is keeping him there alive until his descent to the earth.  Such proponents draw credence to their view by some of the Hadeeth the interpretations of which the opponents hold are not believable, credible or reliable.
