==Islam and docetism== {{main|Islamic views on Jesus' death}} Some commentators have attempted to make a connection between Islam and docetism using the following Quranic verse:<ref name=parrinder>{{cite book|title=Jesus in the Qur'an|author=Geoffrey Parrinder|publisher=Oneworld Publications|year=2013|pages=112, 118–119}}</ref> {{blockquote|And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger – they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain. But Allah took him up unto Himself. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise. {{Cite Quran Ayah|4|157-158|s=y|b=yl|t=p}} }} Some scholars theorise that Islam was influenced by [[Manichaenism|Manichaeism]] (Docetism) in this view. However, the general consensus is that [[Manichaeism]] was not prevalent in [[Mecca]] in the 6th and 7th centuries, when Islam developed, and the influence can therefore not be proven.<ref>{{harvnb|Gil|1992|p=41}}.</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/manicheism-iv-missionary-activity-and-technique-|title=MANICHEISM v. MISSIONARY ACTIVITY AND TECHNIQUE|quote=That Manicheism went further on to the Arabian peninsula, up to the Hejaz and Mecca, where it could have possibly contributed to the formation of the doctrine of Islam, cannot be proven. A detailed description of Manichean traces in the Arabian-speaking regions is given by Tardieu (1994).}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=M.
