But Satan caused them both to slip by means of it and drove them out of the state in which they were. And We said: ‘Go forth; some of you are enemies of others, and for you there is an abode in the earth and a provision for a time.’ (2:37) more translations
This verse clearly establishes Earth as the lifelong abode for humans. As long as a person lives, their physical existence remains confined to the terrestrial world. Upon death, the astral body, or soul, departs and joins the deceased in the celestial world, leaving the physical body to decay and return to dust. Humans are born, live, and die in the mundane world. It's like a prison, with death being the only possible escape. This verse rejects the idea of Jesus, or anyone else, ascending to the heavens alive. The Holy Prophet saw, in his special vision known as the Mairaj, Jesus in the Second Heavens accompanied by Prophet Yahya. This reference is from Sahih Bukhari.:
Malik bin Sasaa narrated that the Holy Prophet said, "While I was lying in the Kaaba... Gabriel accompanied me until we reached the nearest heaven... I saw Adam there. Gabriel told me, 'This is your father, Adam. Greet him.' So, I greeted him, and he returned the greeting, saying, 'Welcome, O' pious son and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me to the second heaven. There, I saw John and Jesus, who were cousins. Gabriel told me, 'These are John and Jesus. Greet them.' So, I greeted them, and they both returned my greeting, saying, 'Welcome, O' pious brother and pious Prophet...'
This evidence also poses a problem for the concept of a living Jesus. What would he be doing among the dead? Such an illogical blend of the living and the dead is intellectually indefensible and makes religion a subject of ridicule. It would be wise for Muslims to reject the notion of a living Jesus, a concept that grants him a superhuman status, elevating him above creation and infringing on divinity. This belief is profoundly harmful, contradicting Tauheed, and aids Christians in their claims of Jesus's divinity and sonship.

When Abraham said: "Show me, Lord, how You will raise the dead, " He
replied: "Have you no faith?" He said "Yes, but just to reassure my heart." Allah said,
"Take four birds, draw them to you, and cut their bodies to pieces. Scatter them over the
mountain-tops, then call them back. They will come swiftly to you. Know that Allah is
Mighty, Wise."
This verse will explain that mans corporeal existense is not confined to this world, but, this world is just a temporary abode to test man whether he is a worthy enough to be sent to heaven.
