Where did Mary, the mother of Jesus (as), die and where is she buried?

Mary left her homeland together with her son when he travelled east to the lost tribes of Israel. She most likely died on that journey, and Murree in present-day Pakistan is named as the place of her grave.

The verse above speaks of refuge for Jesus (as) and his mother together. It describes an elevated land with green valleys and springs, a landscape on earth, not heaven. Anyone who believes that Jesus (as) was raised to heaven has to explain why his mother did not go with him, when God had promised the same refuge to both.

It is also striking that Mary disappears from the history of Jerusalem after the crucifixion. There is a site there in her memory, but it is said that she is not buried there. This fits the view that mother and son left the land together.

Why would Jesus (as) leave at all? He said himself that he was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. These were the tribes of Israel who had been carried off long before him and had settled in distant lands. Their path led through Babylon and Persia to Afghanistan and Kashmir. A true prophet fulfils his mission, so Jesus (as) had to go to them.

His mother accompanied him on this long journey. She most likely died on the way, before reaching Kashmir. Murree, a hill town in present-day Pakistan on the road to Kashmir, is named as the place of her grave.

In this way everything fits together. God gave both of them refuge, Jesus (as) fulfilled his mission, and his mother stayed at his side to the end.
