As the death of God is what pays for sins but the man part of Jesus is what died. So either the death of God (not the human part) happened or Jesus didn't pay for our sins. (I actually was told this lol)
"The claim that Jesus (peace be upon him) has to be God for salvation to work falls apart under Allah's justice. They say only God's death can pay for sin, but the Qur'an says, ‘No bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another' (Surah Al-An'am, 6:164)—why should Jesus carry what's ours? Allah forgives directly: ‘Say, "O My servants who have transgressed… do not despair of the mercy of Allah"' (Surah Az-Zumar, 39:53). No need for a divine middleman.
Jesus was a prophet—‘We gave him the Injeel, in which was guidance and light' (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:46)—not God. The Qur'an says, ‘The Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger' (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:75). Salvation comes through faith and deeds (Surah An-Nisa, 4:124), not a god dying. Their idea limits Allah's power—He saves as He wills, not through a cross or Jesus being divine. That's the true way."
The challenge—that only Jesus' human nature died, making the payment insufficient—misses the nature of the Hypostatic Union (Jesus is one Person with two natures, God and man).
