Intro
If a Qadiani-Ahmadi ever wants to debate 5:116 (5:117 in the Qadiani Quran), make them start at 5:109 and get the full context of what Eisa (As) and other messengers are destined to say on the Day of Judgement.
In 1890 (Via Izala Auham, Part-1), MGA and his team began to write that Esa (as) was dead and they used 5:117 (See Izala-e-Auham, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 3, pp. 125-127, See also Essence of islam, vol. 3–pages 192-193).
In the late summer of 1891, via Izala Auham Part-2, MGA used 5:117 as part of his 30 verses which allegedly proved the death of Eisa (as). MGA claimed that Eisa (as) died in Galilee (Al-Khaleeli)(See Izala Auham, Roohani Khazain vol.3 p.353-354), which is modern day Israel. Also in this book, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad alleged that Eisa (as) had already said this (see Izala Auham vol 3 page 424-425 and via Tafsir Maseeh-e-Maud, see scan in the below), in other words the events of 5:116 had already happened.
About a year later, in 1892, MGA began to say that Esa (As) lived to age 120 and indirectly quoted a saying of Aisha, which was also recorded in Kanzul Ummul (See Nishan Asmani, page 19)(MGA was quoting Tabrani [spelled as Tibrani] and Al-Hakam). See our full refutation of this Tabrani quote herein. However, this caused a contradiction. Since per MGA, Eisa (as) was alive (and living in India) when Christians went astray in 65 C.E. via Paul (See also Chashma Masihi, page 52, online english edition).
In 1905, in terms of 5:117, MGA and his team of writers told us that Eisa (as) would be asked these questions on the Day of Judgement (See the Will page 18).
In the 1960’s, even the 2nd Khalifa wrote the same in his quranic commentary, Tafseer-e-Sagheer.
In the 1990’s, Mirza Tahir Ahmad disagreed and said it could be any time before the Day of Judgement.
In Islam, prophets and Messengers are only responsible for delivering the message, they are not held accountable for what their people do after they deliver the message (See 16:82, 5:92, 5:99, 24:54). Nevertheless, on the Day of Judgement, they will all be asked the same questions, even Muhammad (saw)(See Bukhari and Sunan an Nasai). The Angels will also be asked the same questions and they will totally disown humans.

Izala-e-Auham, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 3, pp. 125-127, See also Essence of islam, vol. 3–pages 192-193
“””Nowhere does the Holy Qur’an mention the bodily ascent of Jesus to heaven. His death, on the other hand, is specifically mentioned at several different places. One of these contains Jesus’ own confession of his death:
‘And I was a witness over them as long as I remained among them, but since Thou didst cause me to die, Thou hast been the Watcher over them; and Thou art Witness over all things.’—Al-
Ma’idah, 5:117
As his death is established, it follows that his body must have been buried in the earth like the bodies of all dead people. The Holy Qur’an expressly states that it was his soul that ascended to heaven and not his body. That is why, in the verse just cited, he clearly acknowledged his
death. Had he ascended to heaven alive in his physical body, he would not have said that he had departed the earth after his death. And, obviously, if it was only his soul which had ascended to heaven, then how can he possibly descend in his physical body?…
If we were to assume that he had ascended to heaven in his physical body, we would have to acknowledge that, like all human and animal bodies, his body must also be affected by the passage of time and that one day he must die. Thus he may have died in heaven having lived out his normal span of life and may have been interned in a graveyard on some planet which is now supposed to be capable of supporting human life. On the other hand, if we are to assume the impossible—that he is still physi-cally alive, then, after the passage of so many centuries,
he must have arrived at extreme old age and will no longer be capable of performing any religious function or service. His descent upon earth in such a condition would serve no useful purpose and would only put him to unnecessary travail.””””

5:115 of the Quran
http://m.qtafsir.com/Surah-Al-Maeda/Sending-Down-the-Maidah
Per ALL the classic commentaries on the quran (see Tafsir Ibn Kathir), this ayah meant that Esa (as) would physically return to Earth…and then see “Christians” for the very first time and then convert them ALL to Islam (see 4:159 also). He would then be questioned like Muhammad (saw) and all other prophets (as) in terms of why their ummah had went astray…and Esa (as) would say, “….I was amongst them…but then you ‘took” me….”. This meant that Esa (as) was among the Jews until the event of the crucifixtion, and Allah “took” Esa (as) or captured Esa (as) and took him off the planet, towards Allah, however, allah never specified whether Esa (as) was alive or dead or sleeping.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) delivered a sermon and said, “O people! You will be gathered before Allah barefooted, naked and not circumcised.” Then (quoting Qur’an) he said:– “As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. A promise We have undertaken: Truly we shall do it..” (21.104) The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, “The first of the human beings to be dressed on the Day of Resurrection, will be Abraham. Lo! Some men from my followers will be brought and then (the angels) will drive them to the left side (Hell-Fire). I will say. ‘O my Lord! (They are) my companions!’ Then a reply will come (from Almighty), ‘You do not know what they did after you.’ I will say as the pious slave (the Prophet (ﷺ) Jesus) said: And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them. When You took me up. You were the Watcher over them and You are a Witness to all things.’ (5.117) Then it will be said, “These people have continued to be apostates since you left them.”

“This is true that Maseeh went to his native place, and died there, but this is not true that the same body which was buried, became alive again….. verse 3 chapter I of Acts is a testimony about the natural death of Jesus that took place in Al-Khaleeli. After this death, Maseeh was visible to his students as KASHF (vision) for 40 days.”

This is a translation from the Lahori-Ahmadis and their compilation book:
Death of Prophet Jesus (AS) — 30 Verses from the Holy Quran:
by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian
English Translation from ‘Izala-e-Auham’ by Imam Kalamazad Mohammed
“””I am very much aware that in Islam this word has been employed in a figurative sense to refer to the seizure of the soul in order to prove the everlasting nature of the soul. It is unfortunate that even though some ‘ulama (religious leaders) know that the real meaning of tawaffa is to die, they yet put forward another interpretation to the following verse – “but when You caused me to die (tawaffaitani)” – claiming that this death will take place after the second advent of the Prophet Jesus (as). What is amazing is that they evince not the slightest feeling of shame in proffering such a disgraceful interpretation. They do not bother to consider that before this statement of Prophet Jesus (as) – (“but when You caused me to die”) – the verse states: “When (idh) Allah will say (qala): O Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah? He will say: Glory be to Thee! it was not for me to say what I had no right to (say). If I had said it, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. Surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseen. I said to them naught save as Thou didst command me: Serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord;
and I was a witness of them so long as I was among them, but when Thou didst cause me to die Thou wast the Watcher over them. And Thou art Witness of all things” (5:116-117).
It is obvious that qala (he said) is the past tense of the verb and before this there is the particle idh (when) which further emphasises the fact that reference is made to the past. From
this, we can deduce that this matter obviously pertains to the time of a former descent and not to a future one. So, too, the reply of Prophet Jesus (as) – “but when You caused me to die” – is the past tense as well as several other matters which precede this one in the Holy Qur’an and are described in the same way and these also support the point as, for example…”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________Some additional references
“This has to be admitted that Hazrat Eisa is also dead, and interestingly enough the grave of Hazrat Eisa is also in Syria and for further clarity, in the footnote, I include the testimony of My brother, My lover in Allah, Molvi Mohammad Al-Saeedi Trablisi. He is a resident of Tripoli, in the Country of Syria and in his area is the Grave of Hazrat Essa AS (Jesus). If you say that Grave is phoney, then you must provide the proof of this forgery, and prove that when this forgery took place. And in this event we will not be sure about the graves of any prophet and trust will be lost, and we will have to say that all those burial places are fake.” (Atmam E Hujat, Page: 18-19, Roohani Khazain vol.8 p.296-297, dated 1894)
“O Hazrat Maulana & My Imam. Assalamo alaikum wa rehmatullah wa barakaatohu. I pray that may Allah give you cure (I recieved this letter of Shaami Saheb during my illness) Whatever you have asked about the Grave of Eisa alaihe assalam and other events, thus I am writing to you in detail, and that is this: Hazrat Eisa alaih assalam was born in Bait-ul-Lehm and between Bait-ul-Lehm and Quds there is a distance of thirty miles and the Grave of Hazrat Eisa alaihe assalam is in the Country of Quds, and is present till now, and there is a Church built on it, and that church is the largest church of all churches, and inside it is the Grave of Hazrat Eisa and in the same church is the Grave of Maryam, the truthful. And both graves are separate.” (Atmam-ul-Hujjat, Roohani Khazain vol.8 p.299)

In 1897, MGA changed his position
MGA and his team seem to have read the ‘lies” of Nicholas Notovitch, who claimed that Esa (as) had travelled to Kashmir during his youth. They then found an obscure grave in Kashmir and labelled it as the grave of esa (as). However, MGA’s book on this topic wasn’t published til after MGA died in 1908.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________MGA and his team added 90 years to the life of Esa (as)
MGA’s team then found an obscure hadith from Kanzul-Ummul, twisted it, and then added 90 years to the life of Esa (as). However, this contradicts 5:117. Since Esa (as) was not on the planet, per Allah during the formulation of Christianity.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1898
The first instance of MGA’s ghost writers indicating Kashmir as the final grave of Esa (as).
It should be noted that in MGA’s book called ‘Raz-e-Haqiqat”, which was translated and published into english in 2016, see pages 30-31, they only quoted half of the relevant quote, and the reason was because the first few sentences assert that Yuz Asaf was the son of a King, not a fatherless man.
The exact quote
The relevant portion is page No. 86 lower side and here is the translation :-
“Hazrat Syed Nasiruddin Khanyari belongs to magnificent Sadat (from the linage of holy prophet pbuh), he was amongst those who wants to remain in hiding. In an event he made his appearance at the grave of blessed Mir sahib at Mohallah Khanyar. This grave is the place of epicentre of light (Noor). There is a grave stone lies near to it. It is famous among common men that this is the last resting place of a prophet who was deputed for this place in the ancient times. The place is known to be a prophet’s place. One of a history books describes a far flung story that one of the sons of a king came here to gain piety he remained busy in the prayers (ibadat & riazat) of “his God” day and night and was deputed as prophet for the peoples of the area. He came to Kashmir to call the people towards “his God” (dawah) and was buried here after death. In that book his name is mentioned as Yuz Asaf. Most of the pious people particularly the murshid of this author Mullah Inayatullah says he smells the traces of prophethood at this place, however definite knowledge rests with Allah”.

So they (i.e. Muslims) will testify that he conveyed the Message.
