Criticism and rationalization in the teachings of religions are the questions affecting mankind, and among them, the doctrine of sacrifice, according to which human beings must pay a ransom and damages for the sin of Abu al-Bashar Adam, and this damage was paid with the suffering and death of Christ (PBUH), is one of the issues that have been faced with challenges in the understanding and rationality of modern man, and it is challenging in contemporary Christianity. Since the Qur'an, as an eternal miracle in the universe, is a unique standard and yardstick for the degree of justifiability and correctness of the teachings of religions, especially those religions that were not spared from the hands of the distorters, the present article aims to examine and measure the doctrine from the perspective of the Holy Quran and use the related verses for deliberation and reflection in a descriptive-analytical way. The result of the research shows that the Holy Qur'an together with the Islamic traditions never confirms this belief, and invalidates the issue of redemption by emphasizing the infallibility of Adam (PBUH) and other prophets, specifying the ascension of Jesus (PBUH) before the cross, considering everyone responsible for his own fate, and also introducing the actions of a person as the criterion for his salvation
